Nan Zhiyun was held in Yu Jingchen's arms. The two looked into each other's eyes. In the afterglow of the setting sun, their hearts were connected and the wind blew gently, making their clothes flutter.
"Yun'er, would you be willing to start over with me?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
Nan Zhiyun remained silent for a long time, then smiled sweetly and nodded gently.
"I have always been willing, but Your Majesty does not know that I have been waiting for so long." Nan Zhiyun's eyes welled up with tears, and she felt a little sore. It must be because of the wind.
"I'm late... I almost lost my treasure, but I've found it now, and I'll cherish it forever." Yu Jingchen raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes.
"Hmm..." Nan Zhiyun never expected this moment to arrive. It was like a dream that came late, yet she was reluctant to let go and unwilling to wake up.
Yu Jingchen looked at her and kissed Nan Zhiyun's lips. Nan Zhiyun slowly closed her eyes, and at the moment she closed them, a crystal tear instantly escaped from her eye socket. Perhaps no one would know what was hidden in this tear, but it truly expressed Nan Zhiyun's grievances, heartache and pain over the years.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Jingchen released Nan Zhiyun. Looking at the tear stain on Nan Zhiyun's face that had not yet dried, he felt a pang of heartache. In the end, he had come too late, causing his little girl to suffer so much injustice and abuse.
Yu Jingchen took Nan Zhiyun's hand and stepped onto the path paved with flowers. Beyond the path, a bright and open space appeared, resembling a hot spring.
“This area is forbidden territory, and no one is ever allowed to approach it. In the past, every spring hunt, I would come here to escape the hustle and bustle. Here, I could put down all my weariness and quietly enjoy that brief moment of peace,” Yu Jingchen told Nan Zhiyun.
“There’s a small treehouse nearby. It’s small, but it’s big enough to fit you in. Shall I take you inside to take a look?” Yu Jingchen asked Nan Zhiyun. Nan Zhiyun was also curious, so she nodded.
"Let's go," Yu Jingchen smiled gently at her, took Nan Zhiyun's hand, and led her to the small wooden house next to him.
It didn't look very big, and indeed, as Yu Jingchen said, the furnishings inside were very simple: two chairs, a bed, a tea table, tea set, a small cabinet, and a stove. That was about it.
“There used to be only one chair here, but from now on there will be two,” Yu Jingchen said.
Two... Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen: "So from now on, this place will belong only to the two of us?" she asked.
“Of course, from now on this place will belong only to the two of us.” Yu Jingchen patted Nan Zhiyun’s head.
"That hot spring outside is naturally formed. Would you like to try it?" Yu Jingchen really wanted to take Nan Zhiyun to try it.
Nan Zhiyun had never soaked in a hot spring before. During the time she spent with Yu Jingchen, she did many things she had never done before and saw many new things she had never seen before. It was as if she had gained a new understanding of everything in the world. Things that were boring and dull before now seemed to have become interesting.
"Okay... but, what if I drown?" Nan Zhiyun didn't know why she came up with the question.
"You won't drown, it's not particularly deep, and besides, I'll make sure you don't drown with me here." Yu Jingchen smiled and gently rubbed his head.
