Gu Yan went to get some bedding and spread it out. He turned to Yun Xiangye, fanning her and said, "It's not as cool here as in Qingfeng Garden. There's a lake behind Qingfeng Garden, which is the coolest in the summer. Why don't you take Nuonuo back to live in Qingfeng Garden?"

Yun Xiangye said, "No need. With the ice, it's not too hot. Besides, you and I are already divorced, so why would I go back to Qingfeng Garden?"

After Yun Xiangye finished speaking, she fell asleep with her back to Gu Yan.

At night, a strong wind blew up. It was a hot night and it was easy for strong winds and heavy rain to come. There were lightning and thunder, which was very terrifying.

Yun Xiangye was awakened by a loud thunder. She saw a light in the room and heard the sound of whistling wind outside.

Gu Yan got up repeatedly to close the windows that were originally used for ventilation and cooling.

Yun Xiangye patted Xiao Nuonuo gently, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Nuonuo was sleeping soundly and had not woken up.

The rumbling thunder is terrifying, the crackling sound of raindrops as big as beans, and the howling wind seem to be able to blow down the houses.

Yun Xiangye sat up and looked outside.

Gu Yan saw Yun Xiangye sitting up, walked over to her, hugged her in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Yun Xiangye was not afraid of thunder at the moment, but she recalled that when she was a child, there were also such violent storms, lightning and thunder. At that time, she had just lived in a separate room from her mother. Although she had servants around her, she was still afraid.

Her mother and father heard her crying and came in the rain to hold her in their arms.

And the day my mother passed away, there was also a violent storm, with lightning and thunder...

Every year after that, when she encountered summer thunder, she would always think of her father and mother involuntarily. When she shed tears, Gu Yan thought she was afraid, but she was not afraid.

Yun Xiangye pushed Gu Yan away and said, "I'm not afraid of thunder."

"Aren't you afraid?" Gu Yan frowned. "At this time last year, I braved the heavy rain and rushed back for you... You still said I didn't care about you. Did you know that the hailstones last year were the size of eggs? I was afraid you would be frightened, so I rushed back... Now, you say you don't care about me."

Yun Xiangye recalled that this happened last year, and it seemed that the sky that day was just like today.

But the wind seemed to be stronger that day, and there was hail, which was rare to see.

Yun Xiangye recalled that day last year when Gu Yan came back all wet and held her in his arms, making her feel no fear just like today.

Yun Xiangye said, "I'm not afraid of thunder, but my mother died during a thunderstorm."

Gu Yan could only hold Yun Xiangye's hand to comfort her.

Yun Xiangye looked down at Gu Yan's hand and said, "It's raining, the ground must be even wetter, just go to sleep..."

Before Yun Xiangye could even utter the word "small couch", Gu Yan happily got on the bed.

Yun Xiangye: "I'll let you sleep on the small couch..."

"The small couch is next to the window. It must have been soaked by the heavy rain just now." Gu Yan climbed onto the bed and put his arm around Yun Xiangye's waist. "Go to sleep quickly. We still have to go to the mountains tomorrow."

Yun Xiangye, in Gu Yan's arms, whispered, "Only today, we've already divorced. This is against etiquette."

Gu Yan smiled and said, "Yeah."

The weather was much cooler after the rain. Yun Xiangye was woken up by a kiss in the morning. She was about to angrily scold Gu Yan for taking advantage of her, when she saw Nuonuo's face enlarged in front of her.

Yun Xiangye smiled for a moment, holding Nuonuo's cheek and kissing her.

Seeing Yun Xiangye's expression change, Gu Yan chuckled and said, "Let's hurry up the mountain while the sun is still bright. If the sun gets brighter, it will be very hot."

Yun Xiangye washed up casually and followed Gu Yan into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, little Nuonuo's little face poked out of the window, looking at the morning market.

The carriage went all the way to the mountain outside the city. It took more than half an hour before it arrived at a valley. In the valley, there were daylilies all over the mountains and a green spring lake.

“What a beautiful place.”

Yun Xiangye couldn't help but sigh, "Such a beautiful place exists in Chang'an City."

Gu Yan said, "This place was given to my mother by my father. The daylilies all over the mountain were planted by my father. Because my mother's name contains the character 'Xuan', few people know about this place."

Little Nuonuo was picking daylily flowers, and Yun Xiangye made a daylily wreath for little Nuonuo to wear.

Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "Your father cares deeply about your mother. Even the Prime Minister, who is so busy with official duties, can still spare time to create this paradise for your mother."

Gu Yan said: "If you think this is caring, I can also plant a mulberry tree for you..."

Yun Xiangye couldn't help but smile and said, "Your father planted a beautiful patch of daylilies for your mother, but you want to plant a patch of mulberry trees for me?"

Gu Yan said: "Your name is Xiangye, so naturally I can only plant mulberry trees for you..."

Yun Xiangye: “…”

Gu Yan is really clueless about romance.

Nuonuo was clamoring to go into the lake to play, so Gu Yan took Nuonuo into the water. The sun was out and the water temperature was acceptable.

Yun Xiangye didn't bring any change of clothes, so she just stood on the shore watching Nuonuo and Gu Yan swimming.

Gu Yan and Nuonuo were playing with water. Yun Xiangye saw that Nuonuo was at a disadvantage, so she also splashed water on Gu Yan on the shore.

Seeing this, Gu Yan was not polite to Yun Xiangye. His desire to win aroused his desire and he splashed water all over Yun Xiangye.

Yun Xiangye was soaking wet and said, "Gu Yan! I didn't even bring a change of clothes..."

Gu Yan pulled Yun Xiangye into the water and said, "There's a small hut nearby. The sun is so bright, we can hang our clothes out in the sun and they'll dry in a while."

Yun Xiangye entered the water and clung to Gu Yan's neck. She angrily said, "Gu Yan!"
