The eunuch stopped serving food to Ji Xingzhi after Xiao Moyan had picked up some dishes for her several times. Therefore, all the dishes in Ji Xingzhi's bowl were picked up by Xiao Moyan.

Ji Xingzhi looked at the dishes in the bowl, then looked at her uncle, and was confused for a moment. He picked up so many dishes for her... This was the first time, and there must be something wrong when things were out of the ordinary.

"Uncle...what's wrong with you?" Ji Xingzhi looked at Xiao Moyan with a puzzled look and asked.

The eunuch also cast a puzzled look at Xiao Moyan.

Xiao Moyan didn't find it strange. He took a mouthful of rice without changing his expression and said, "Nothing."

Ji Xingzhi frowned slightly, and it didn't look like everything was alright.

However, Ji Xingzhi did not ask any further. Anyway, if Xiao Moyan didn't want to say, it would be useless for her to ask more.

Because of Xiao Moyan's strange behavior, Ji Xingzhi and the eunuch ate a full meal, but they felt confused.

At night, Ji Xingzhi had already taken a shower and ran to Xiao Moyan's bed to sleep, as if she was sleeping in her own bed, without any courtesy at all.

The room was very quiet. The dim candlelight flickered faintly, and the light poured all over the floor, illuminating the entire room in a dark yellow.

The light hit Ji Xingzhi's delicate little face, turning her originally fair face dark yellow.

When Xiao Moyan entered the room and saw Ji Xingzhi sleeping soundly on the bed, his brows frowned inadvertently. He tucked the quilt for Ji Xingzhi and after confirming that Ji Xingzhi was sleeping soundly, he took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes slightly closed. A circle of hazy white light emanated from Xiao Moyan's body, gently wrapping him up.

Looking closely, I saw that the hazy light seemed to hide a hint of bright red.

If Ji Xingzhi woke up at this moment, she would be shocked. At this moment, Xiao Moyan looked like he was practicing some evil skill.

After meditating for about an hour, Xiao Moyan slowly opened his eyes. The light on his body gradually faded away. He took off his outer robe and lay down. He stretched out his hand slightly, and a white light shot out from his slender fingertips and flew straight towards the candle. When the white light touched the dim candle, the room instantly fell into darkness.

Ji Xingzhi seemed to sense something and hugged Xiao Moyan sideways, moving her body restlessly, as if she had found a comfortable angle. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she fell into calm again.

Xiao Moyan let Ji Xingzhi hold him in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep as usual, and everything that had just happened seemed as if it had never happened, strange and mysterious.

It's nice but also scary.

The next morning, after washing up and having a simple meal, Ji Xingzhi and his group set out on the journey back to the imperial capital.

——

As the carriage slowly drove into the high and thick red city wall of Lizhou Capital, a breeze blew, blowing the curtains. The wind penetrated through all the holes and penetrated into the carriage.

The breeze blows on my face, and there is still a hint of coolness in this April day.

Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but shudder slightly, and hugged Xiao Moyan's arm and hid behind him.

Seeing this, Xiao Moyan took out a blanket from the compartment under the seat and covered Ji Xingzhi with it.

The light-colored blanket was neither thin nor thick, neither big nor small, just enough to cover Ji Xingzhi's entire body.

Her body felt warm, and her heart felt warm too. She turned her head to look at Xiao Moyan, who had closed his eyes to rest again. A helpless smile appeared on Ji Xingzhi's tender little face. How could she not like such a gentle and considerate uncle who seemed like a banished immortal?

Xiao Moyan clearly didn't say anything and wasn't a gentle person, but his occasional unintentional gesture made Ji Xingzhi feel like spring breeze.
