Zuo Miaomiao was stunned for a moment.

"You're going to Beijing?"

"Yes, there's a task."

Zuo Miaomiao knew from his vague explanation that this mission was of great importance and could not be easily revealed.

Significance also means danger.

She thought for a moment, walked to the bedside, took out a good luck charm from under the pillow, and handed it to Fu Weiyun.

"Then be careful and make sure you come back safely."

Fu Weiyun accepted it with a smile.

"Yes, I will take care."

After saying that, he took the bundle off his shoulder and handed it to her.

"These are some liqueur-filled chocolates that I just had made. There are two portions, one for you and one for your father. You can give him his portion when he recovers."

Zuo Miaomiao took the bundle, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

This person, instead of preparing properly for an important task, is preoccupied with these trivial details.

It made it seem like she was very important.

But ever since that confession, although he often appeared by her side, he never said anything offensive again.

This made her a little unsure whether this person really cared about her that much.

Maybe he just enjoys teasing people.

If she were to plunge headlong into it, she might fall into an abyss.

Even with these thoughts in mind, she still had many distracting ideas.

Constantly worrying about gains and losses.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a voice in her ear: "Miaomiao, when I return from Northern Jin, will you marry me?"

She suddenly looked up and stared at him blankly.

What did you just say?

Fu Weiyun reached out and wiped away a small piece of walnut shell from the corner of her lips, smiling slightly, "Are you willing to wait for me to come back and marry you?"

Zuo Miaomiao's mind exploded with a "boom".

Her face instantly turned as red as a crabapple blossom.

"Who will marry you? Whether you can return safely is another matter."

She doesn't want to remain a widow.

Fu Weiyun added, "If you agree, I'll crawl back to you even if I have to."

Zuo Miaomiao: "..."

"You're not a maggot, why are you crawling around?"

Fu Weiyun smiled.

"It's getting late, I should go."

After saying that, he leaped onto the roof and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

"Why!"

Zuo Miaomiao wanted to call out to him, but she didn't know what to say.

After calling out twice, it just stared blankly at the empty space outside the window.

My heart felt both sweet and sour.

It felt like I had eaten hawthorn fruit.

She didn't agree just now. Will Fu Weiyun think that she was unwilling, which is why he left in a hurry?

Will he be heartbroken over this?

What if it affects his mission or something unexpected happens?

Actually, she wasn't unwilling, she was just too shy...

But now he can't hear me even if I say it.

The cawing of crows interrupted her thoughts. She looked away, sat down again, but no longer ate walnuts or read books.

Her mind was completely preoccupied with Fu Weiyun's affairs.

After that, she spent her days interviewing and writing articles, trying her best to put those distracting thoughts behind her.

But in the quiet of the night, that person's voice and smile would always appear in my mind.

I can't help but eat chocolate whenever I think about it.

Fu Weiyun gave her a total of one hundred chocolates.

She only eats one a day.

Even so, after eating all one hundred pills, there was still no news of Fu Weiyun.

News about the Beijing Gold Mine is in the newspapers every day.

Examples include the eldest prince of the Northern Jin dynasty being revealed to be not the emperor's biological son, swiftly launching a palace coup to usurp the throne; and the second prince of the Northern Jin dynasty raising an army on the border, aiming at the capital, to avenge his father and seize imperial power.

Even a three-year-old child in Da Xi would know that Bei Jin is in a state of great chaos.

She didn't know what Fu Weiyun's mission was, or whether he had played an important role during this time; she was only worried about his safety.

When the newspapers reported that Bei Jin was embroiled in internal strife and suffered heavy casualties, she finally couldn't resist and went to the Yong'an Marquis's residence to find Xiao Qingyin.

"Sister Xiao, how is your brother doing?"

After meeting Xiao Qingyin, they chatted for only a few words before she asked her question.

Xiao Qingyin handed her a letter and said with a smile, "I was just about to look for you. Miss Bai just sent back a few letters, and this one is specifically for you."

Zuo Miaomiao took the envelope and saw a big fat cat drawn on it. She immediately recognized it as her Yuanyuan and her cheeks puffed up.

This wasn't written for her at all; it was clearly written for Yuanyuan.

She opened the envelope, quickly scanned it, and found it contained a long poem.

The poem describes a great deal about the customs and culture of northern Jin, with only the last two lines: "When shall we admire the leaves of the Western Hills together, and drink wine with you while listening to the insects chirping?"

She immediately recalled the embarrassing incident she had when she went to see the red leaves of Xishan.

Her cheeks flushed slightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyin leaned over and said, "Let me see what's written in the letter. It made you blush."

Zuo Miaomiao immediately stuffed the letter into her sleeve pocket.

He quickly replied, "It's nothing!"

Xiao Qingyin quipped, "This is like trying to hide something obvious."

Zuo Miaomiao was both ashamed and annoyed.

"Really, it's nothing! It's just about the scenery of Beijing Gold!"

Seeing that she was getting angry, Xiao Qingyin immediately soothed her: "Okay, I won't say anymore. You can go home and read it slowly. I'm going to the Jing'an Marquis's residence."

Zuo Miaomiao's expression softened slightly, and she asked her, "Are you going to see Sister Yun?"

"Yes."

Is she feeling better now?

Xiao Qingyin sighed: "It's still the same as always."

Zuo Miaomiao could only comfort her: "Sister Yun is a lucky person, she will definitely get better."

Xiao Qingyin nodded.

After seeing Zuo Miaomiao off, she took a carriage to the Jing'an Marquis's residence.

Because Yun Shu's condition has been very stable, she now only needs to come for treatment once every ten days.
