The moon rises and the sun sets.

Li Shushu didn't know how long the situation lasted.

Because in the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and fainted in his arms, but he was still...

When she woke up again, she didn't know what time it was.

Li Shushu looked down at herself. It was a cold night and the man had already dressed her neatly. Although the area was swollen, painful and sore, it didn't feel sticky. It must be..., he had also helped her clean it?

The man held her tightly for who knows how long, without moving. Seeing her wake up, with an abnormal redness at the corners of her eyes, he felt extremely guilty, "Shu'er..., I'm sorry..."

Li Shushu felt a little embarrassed and shy, and didn't dare to look directly into his affectionate eyes, so she had to look around.

At this time, the grassland at night changed into another picture. The moon was like a silver plate and the stars were scattered, making the whole grassland look quiet and beautiful.

It's not like they had never seen this kind of scenery together before. The night they went to the ruins of the Loi tribe was actually quite nice, but the topic that night was too heavy and they both lost their mood.

But today is different. Today they put aside all worldly things and just act like a couple in love. Being in this paradise, they are more willing to discover and appreciate beauty.

Li Shushu suddenly discovered that the stars in the distance seemed to be moving, and for some unknown reason they were getting closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, tiny dots of light flashed before his eyes.

She was originally sore, weak, and drowsy, but she suddenly shook herself and pointed at the fireflies. "It's a firefly..."

It has been nine years. In the first eight years, she was locked up in Fengming Pavilion, studying hard and not allowed to go out all day. Of course, she had no chance to see fireflies again. Later, she came to the prairie, but still hadn't seen one.

Ashileyan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his face full of doting, "It's a firefly, do you want it, Shu'er?"

If she wanted, he would definitely catch some for her.

He still remembered that when she was a child, she loved catching fireflies the most. Every summer night, catching fireflies became a rare activity for them.

But in this place, there are fireflies even before summer. Maybe it is because there are few people here and no one disturbs them, so they are more unrestrained?

A few years ago, when he sat here alone watching the fireflies, he regretted every moment that she was not around.

Li Shushu shook his head gently, "No need, just take a look!"

She has grown up and is no longer the little girl she used to be. She now knows that every blade of grass and every tree has life.

"Yeah." He felt sorry for her and kissed the hair on her head again.

The two of them hugged each other quietly and sat for a while, neither of them was willing to break the tranquility.

"Gurgle", it was Li Shushu's stomach that destroyed the tranquility.

When they arrived, they had just finished lunch, and now it was probably already past dinner time.

"Oh no, Banxia, Banxia is still waiting for me in the forest." Li Shushu suddenly remembered.

"Shu'er Moji, before coming here, I made an agreement with Banxia that if we haven't returned home by dinner time, she will go back first."

"Dinner, what about the dinner?" Since Khatun and the little Khan are not here, there will definitely be people gossiping, right?

"Shu'er, have you forgotten? Today is an open day. All the ministers can form groups and activities freely. There will be no group dinner tonight."

"Oh" I see. Li Shushu nodded. It seemed that he had calculated correctly to bring her out today.

She glanced at the person in front of her with a strange look. During the time of Dayu, she had heard that the people of the grassland were physically strong but their minds were simpler than those of the gods.

Those people are clearly not right.

At least the person in front of her was obviously not like that. He had a strong physique and a deep mind. Fortunately, he was her brother Yan, a friend rather than an enemy. Otherwise, she would have been eaten by him without leaving a trace.

Ashileyan listened to her thoughts calmly, not understanding whether she was praising him or criticizing him. However, he felt that he was in a good mood at the moment, no, to be more precise, he was relaxed both physically and mentally.

"By the way, when did Banxia become yours?" Li Shushu asked.

Ashileyan: "Soon, in the next few days."

Li Shushu was extremely curious. "Banxia is from the Dayu Palace. I've been with her day and night for more than half a year before she finally accepted me as her half-master. I'm really curious, how did Brother Yan win her over?"

Ashileyan curled his lips and said, "This matter is simple. Everyone has flaws and weaknesses. As long as you understand her weaknesses, you can control her well.

For example, Banxia was willing to be loyal to Dayu only because all her family members were in Kyoto and were controlled by Dayu's palace.

I arranged for someone to help her quietly move her family to a place where no one could find them, and I also offered her some incentives. She's not stupid, so she naturally knew where to be loyal."

Li Shushu secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart, "You can do it!"

Then she tried to stand up and said, "Let's go back. I'm hungry."

"Okay!" He stood up as well.

She endured the pain all over her body and wanted to take a small step forward to walk to the horse, but she didn't realize that she had been injured at some point, and her thigh was in so much pain that she didn't react in time. In a moment of carelessness, she was about to fall forward...

Fortunately, Ashileyan was quick-witted and threw away the leather he was collecting, strode over and caught her. Li Shushu was extremely embarrassed and secretly regretted that she was so useless that she couldn't even bear such a small ordeal...

The man felt even more guilty, so he bent down, suddenly picked her up and carried her horizontally, then stretched out his long legs and strode to put her on the horse's back.

Then he gathered up the rest of his things and followed suit on his horse.
