"Ayi." Huo Shuwen looked at the girl holding the small firework in her hand and couldn't help but call out her name.

It is now pitch black.

He Yi's pretty little face looked especially beautiful under the night sky.

"What's the matter."

"I...I like you."

The girl turned to look at him and giggled.

"I know."

I like you too.

Huo Shuwen hadn't expected He Yi to be so direct, and he blushed again.

This time it was dark, so no one else saw it.

"But I'm not the kind of girl you imagine."

"I'm not that good, not that kind and sensible, and not that... that innocent."

He Yi was like a white lotus flower in front of Huo Shuwen, needing to be protected every day, weak and easily bullied.

But she knows herself very well.

Actually, He Yi thinks she looks a lot like her mother.

From the moment she became interested in Huo Shuwen, she relentlessly pursued him, trying to lure him into her trap.

Really...

"What does this have to do with me liking you?" the eagle retorted.

He Yi didn't know what to say, so she could only listen to the boy beside her continue.

I like you, your good and your bad, I should like you both.

"Everyone wants good things, but what about bad things? Of course, you can't stand bad things, but I like you, so I like all of you, even the bad side, I will accept it."

“I will work hard to make money in the future. You will have everything your older sister has. If you like that kind of carefree life, then we can go wherever we want. The sky is the limit. As long as you are by my side, anywhere is fine.”

Huo Shuwen almost threw the phrase "Home is wherever you are" in He Yi's face.

The fireworks in the girl's hand gradually went out, and the light around the two of them gradually dimmed.

He Yi felt extremely awkward upon hearing this.

The air was thick with tension. Taking advantage of a secluded corner where no one could see them, she took the initiative to hug him.

The girl had actually struggled internally. She would let Huo Shuwen go as long as he left the He family or ignored her.

Everything they had before was just a pipe dream.

But he just...

And yet, I just happened to run into it.

He Yi, nestled in the eagle's arms, showed no embarrassment; her hands gripped her clothes so tightly that her fingertips turned white.

It's your own fault for not seizing the opportunity.

From now on, don't even think about getting rid of me.

The one standing like a pine tree this time is Huo Shuwen.

Oh dear.

this……

Who could stand this?!

The little girl he adored suddenly jumped into his arms.

The eagle is so happy he's practically ecstatic, and now he wishes he could just move his master's tomb over there.

Master, this is your disciple's future wife. Isn't she beautiful?

Not only is she good-looking, but she also has a great personality.

She has a kind heart and needs my protection.

She's the one for me in this life.

Huo Shuwen hugged her back and heard a muffled sound coming from his arms.

"If I take this initiative, will Brother Wen think I'm too promiscuous? That I lack self-respect?"

"There are many one-night stands in our world of martial arts."

The girl looked up at him and asked incredulously:

"You want to be my wife for one night?"

"I don't……"

"Let me explain."

"Ayi, don't go, let me hug you a little longer."

"What I mean is, I've seen all sorts of people in the world, there's no such thing. You're a good person, how could I think you're promiscuous, right?"

The girl walked ahead, feigning anger on her face.

He Yi enjoyed this feeling; he cared about me, he was comforting me, and he was explaining things to me.

happy.

"So, in your previous life in the martial arts world, did you ever have a one-night stand with any other female warriors?"

The girl stopped and asked.

"No, I don't talk to women in the martial arts world."

"I don't believe it!"

"It's true, my master said that women and children in the martial arts world are all bad, and you should avoid them."

How can he not be considered a good teacher?

Their steps eventually came together.

Holding hands, they were so happy.

"Brother Wen, do you know what eloping means?"

Today is the day Huo Shuwen and He Yi got engaged. He Yi didn't want to spoil the mood, but there were some things she had to make clear.

There's only one outcome for them if they're together: they'll elope.

Her father would definitely marry her off to someone else for his own benefit; she herself was respectable enough not to marry Huo Shuwen.

Unless he joins the army,

But joining the army is a matter of life and death, not to mention...

And it takes several years to get ahead in the military.

By the time he comes back, I reckon he'll already have a child.

"You want to elope with me now? It's not impossible. Although I may not seem to have any money right now, my master does. He can support both of us."

He Yi had heard Xiong Ying talk about his master before, and asked:

"Didn't your master pass away?"

“Yes, there were a lot of burial items in his coffin, all of which he had collected over the years. He offered them to me, but I didn’t want them then because I thought I had enough money. But things are different now. With you by my side, and as his only apprentice, it’s fine for me to keep them.”

Leaving it to me is the same as digging it out.

You are so filial.

"Well... that's not necessary."

He Yi had some money of her own, and she knew where her mother's money was.

We can take her with us then.

Although her own mother treated her badly, she couldn't bear to leave Aunt Suifang alone in the He family mansion.

It's okay if she doesn't want to leave; we can drug her until she's unconscious and then take her out.

I'll find a good place, open a small shop, and live a peaceful and stable life.

But this was ultimately just He Yi's fantasy.

Disillusionment

The He family has a new concubine.

She was a maidservant serving her stepmother.

Her father took a liking to her and took her in as a concubine.

Her mother was hysterically smashing things in the yard. Hearing the foul language coming from her mouth, He Yi's good mood, which had just been looking forward to, vanished.

"You bitch!"

"You're all useless, fine, but even the children I gave birth to are useless!"

"If she were a son, the master would surely love me even more!"

"She wants that little bitch to give the master a son, doesn't she?"

"Impossible! Someone, come here!"

The girl gave a self-deprecating laugh. Huo Shuwen tightened his grip on her hand and asked her:

When do you want to leave?

She was exhausted; she was weary of every blade of grass and every tree in the mansion.

Elopement with Huo Shuwen is a high-stakes gamble, and He Yi has made all the preparations.

The eagle also understands,

For He Yi and him, there was no turning back.

Either we forget each other in the vast world, or we'll regret it for the rest of our lives.

Either they go far away and stay together forever.
