Su Tiyue walked up to him, looked at him covered in blood, and asked timidly, "Why...why didn't you go home?"

Xiao Heye stared straight at her without answering.

At around six or seven years old, they probably don't understand what it means to be homeless.

They don't understand what it means to...have a home but not be able to go back to.

Seeing that he remained silent, Su Tiyue took a small step forward and asked him in a childish voice, "Brother, does it hurt?"

Xiao Heye: "..."

"Brother, are you hungry?" she asked again.

Xiao Heye remained silent, still staring at her coldly.

Su Tiyue rummaged through her clothes for a long time before finally finding a piece of candy in her pocket and carefully handing it to him.

Xiao Heye looked the little girl up and down, then glanced back at the attendants not far away.

A strange emotion flickered in his eyes.

He swallowed hard and nodded.

With difficulty, he raised his arm and extended his palm to her.

Su Tiyue handed over the candy, revealing a small section of her slender, white, and smooth wrist beneath her sleeve.

On her wrist was a priceless, translucent, pinkish-white jade bracelet.

Xiao Heye lifted his heavy eyelids, glanced at Su Tiyue indifferently, and the moment he took the candy, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

Su Tiyue saw him take the candy and was about to pull her hand back when the boy in front of her suddenly stood up.

By then, Xiao Heye was already more than a head taller than her.

Young Su Tiyue was so frightened by his ferocious appearance that she kept backing away...

His blood-stained hands gripped Su Tiyue's wrist tightly, then with a forceful tug, he forcibly removed the jade bracelet from her wrist.

"ah……!"

With a cry of surprise from Su Tiyue, Xiao Heye shoved her aside and fled with all his might toward the other end of the road.

Su Tiyue fell in the snow and was so frightened that she cried herself unconscious.

later.

Xiao Heye used the bracelet to exchange for a lot of money, found a doctor for Hanzhou, and cured his illness.

At that time, Pei Fu, the director of the Eastern Depot, was on official business in Suzhou, and everyone feared and dreaded him.

Xiao Heye used the remaining money to bribe his way through various channels and finally managed to meet Pei Fu once.

After that heavy snowfall, Hanzhou recovered from his illness.

However, Su Tiyue fell seriously ill, whether from being frightened or from a fever that damaged her brain.

After recovering from her illness, Su Tiyue remembered nothing of what happened that night.

All these years have passed, and she still doesn't remember.

As time goes by and people grow up, childhood memories will gradually fade or even be forgotten, which is understandable.

But there are always some deeply memorable and painful experiences that can never be forgotten.

Isn't that right?

Su Tiyue remembers nothing.

Xiao Heye was quite certain of this when they met again in the palace.

The little thing had forgotten all about their past interactions and clashes.

...

"elder brother."

The carriage returned to the palace and stopped at the entrance of Tingyu Tower. Su Tiyue saw that he was lost in thought and called him but did not respond, so she called him softly again, "Brother...we've arrived."

Xiao Heye snapped out of his daze and stared at her blankly.

A dark shadow flickered beneath his eyes.

After the two got off the carriage, Su Tiyue followed behind Xiao Heye with trepidation.

She kept her head down, thinking about her second brother, and she was thinking about him on the way back.

Su Tiyue knew that Xiao Heye wouldn't do anything to her second brother.

But……

What Xiao Heye will do to her remains to be seen.

Xiao Heye always harbored those wicked thoughts about her.

Of course, Su Tiyue was also aware that every time they were together, it was all of her own free will.

Although Xiao Heye was reckless, he seemed to have inexhaustible energy... which he used on himself.

But in matters of the bedroom, Xiao Heye was assertive yet gentle and patient, always able to immerse Su Tiyue in that splendid and enchanting atmosphere.

When passion reached its peak, she could no longer maintain her composure as a demure lady.

Su Tiyue even thought about going even crazier, going even more intensely...

These terrifying thoughts made Su Tiyue even more afraid of Xiao Heye.

She gradually realized that her body no longer resisted Xiao Heye's intimacy, nor was she afraid of his forceful invasion and plunder.

We can't let ourselves become mentally dependent on this demon and physically be controlled by him, can we?

Su Tiyue followed behind him with a melancholy expression, her mind heavy with worries.

The person in front of her had already stopped and turned around, but Su Tiyue didn't notice and continued walking forward with her head down.

It wasn't until her head bumped into Xiao Heye's chest that she looked up blankly, staring at him with a puzzled expression: "Why isn't Master Xiao leaving?"

Xiao Heye lowered his head, a handsome smile curving his lips, and said slowly, "Yue'er, tomorrow night is New Year's Eve."

"Yes, I know."

He smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to discuss with Li Xun... so..."

Xiao Heye raised his hand and slowly slid his fair and slender index finger down Su Tiyue's cheek.

Cool fingertips glided across her chin, her neck, and then gently landed on her heaving chest.

The fingers with distinct knuckles pressed gently; it felt soft and yielding.

Xiao Heye leaned down, his warm breath brushing against her delicate, fair ear, and slowly said, "So... you don't need to keep me company tonight?"

Su Tiyue's pupils widened in shock, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her. She asked softly, "Is what Master Xiao said true?"

You should know that Xiao Heye has always been open to all who come to her.
