Sometimes, life is just a gentle, flowing stream of quiet days, simple and warm.

It's already quite an achievement that the two of them were able to be together.

However, these wonderful and leisurely days seem to be counting down every moment, destined not to last long.

Having resolved all the rumors, An Yuan'er's plans to leave Chenyang Palace and return home were not put on hold.

However, Yi Chenli's leg injury is still in the recovery stage, and An Yuan'er is worried that once she goes back, there will be no one to keep an eye on Yi Chenli, and he will secretly use strong drugs again.

After all, Yi Chenli has never been one to listen to orders! His ideas are always bigger than the sky.

The letters from home urging An Yuan to return home grew increasingly urgent, with his grandmother even using harsh words to order him to come home.

Before An Yuan'er became the county princess, she had looked down on her grandmother's influence, but now, she remembered her granddaughter with the attitude of an elder.

Later, An Yuan'er stopped reading the letters from home because they were all the same, telling her to go home.

When you're a child, you can stay wherever you want, but when you grow up, even if you want to be willful, there will always be someone telling you that you shouldn't be willful.

Besides the family letter, the letters weren't all bad news either; An Yuan'er finally received a letter from Mo Ran, who was far away.

"Everything is fine in the army. I have won dozens more battles, and the soldiers support me very much. I can risk my life for what I believe in every day, and I feel more fulfilled than ever before. Don't worry about me, Xiao Yuan'er. Everything is fine. Sending my regards."

After their last parting, Mo Ran would write letters to An Yuan'er, but she never wrote a single letter to her brother.

But not writing doesn't mean not reading. At the end of every letter to An Yuan'er, there are always four words of greeting.

Mo Ran is no longer the restless, passionate girl she once was. She has been reckless for too long, and she is getting tired.

The busy days of war left her with little energy to think about romance. She dared not write to An Huishou, partly because she was afraid of finding out that he had already gotten married.

Because only she doesn't know, she can remain immersed in the protective circle she has built for herself, deceiving herself that the boy she likes has never left.

An Yuan'er picked up her pen and wrote back to Mo Ran.

"I've just been granted the title of County Princess. When you return, we'll be a County Princess and a Female General, and no one will dare offend us anymore. We can walk around the capital with our heads held high. Everything at home is the same as before, except for one thing: you're not here. I miss you and wait for your return. Brother, are you well?"

The letter was short, but it expressed the deep affection between the two sisters.

Although An Yuan'er has encountered many difficulties recently, in her letters she only mentions happy things and never mentions anything unpleasant. The same goes for Mo Ran.

They only share good news and not bad news, wishing only that the other person be happy.

There are many ways for sisters to get along, and An Yuan'er and Mo Ran are just one of them.

Although they are now separated by vast distances, their hearts have always been together.

Perhaps the best friendships are like this: two people may not see each other for a long time, but once they do, they always have endless things to talk about. The feelings aren't overly intense, but they offer each other the most comforting solace whenever needed.

While replying to Mo Ran, An Yuan'er also sent him some precious medicinal herbs, thinking that they would surely be useful in the army.
