Mu Jingyan flashed in and came in front of Xiao Yujue, glancing at the documents in Xiao Yujue's hand from time to time.
Xiao Yujue couldn't help but laugh secretly as she watched Mu Jingyan hesitate and cautiously trying to speak. For some reason, all the tension and helplessness in her heart were relieved in an instant.
"Jingyan, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xiao Yujue asked knowingly. He just liked to see Mu Jingyan hesitant.
"I think..." Mu Jingyan lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, feeling a little at a loss.
After all, official documents sent and received from the front line are confidential and not everyone can read them.
"You and I are friends in need. Is there anything we can't talk about?"
Xiao Yujue's tone made Mu Jingyan relax a lot.
She looked up at Xiao Yujue, pointed at the documents on the desk, and said, "Actually, I want to ask about my brother's situation. How is he doing at the front? Is he safe? Is he injured?"
Xiao Yujue saw genuine concern and anxiety in Mu Jingyan's eyes, and his heart moved slightly.
I was moved by the true love between the Mu brothers and sisters.
Such sincere family affection probably does not exist in the royal family.
"Everything goes well. Don't worry, your brother will be back soon." Xiao Yujue said softly.
"That's good." Mu Jingyan was relieved. "This is good news. It can be considered as..."
She lowered her eyes, looking sad, and whispered to herself softly: "This can be considered a birthday gift from my brother."
Xiao Yujue was stunned and asked, "Is today your birthday?"
"Yes." Mu Jingyan let out a long sigh, "Your Highness, it's very late. I'm going back now."
"good."
Xiao Yujue watched Mu Jingyan walk out of the study dejectedly, and a trace of pity welled up in her heart.
He recalled the last time Mu Jingyan risked his life to save him.
In his life, there has never been a woman who is willing to risk her life for him.
After Mu Jingyan washed up and was about to undress for bed, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
She asked as she opened the door and saw Xiao Yujue standing at the door with a smile on her face.
"Your Highness?" Mu Jingyan's heart sank, and he asked anxiously, "You came to see me so late, is there something wrong with my brother?"
"No, but I suddenly remembered that there is something I should do for your brother. Go in and add some clothes, and then follow me."
Mu Jingyan felt puzzled, but after all, Xiao Yujue was the prince, so she didn't dare to ask too much. She turned back to her room, put on a thick cloak, and followed Xiao Yujue out of the government office.
Xiao Yujue brought Mu Jingyan to the city wall. The moon was bright in the sky, and the soft moonlight covered the earth like a veil.
"Your Highness, we are..."
"Shh." Xiao Yujue made a gesture to keep quiet, then clapped his hands.
"Bang!"
As a loud bang broke the silence, beams of brilliant light appeared in the sky, blooming into beautiful sparks, colorful and magnificent.
Mu Jingyan looked at the fireworks in the sky, his eyes filled with surprise and joy. He was as happy as a child, shouting loudly at the brilliant night sky.
After a long time, the fireworks burned out and the surroundings returned to silence.
Mu Jingyan looked into the distance and did not speak for a long time.
Gradually, tears welled up in her eyes, and waves of sadness and pain spread in her heart. She tried her best to endure it, but in the end she couldn't.
Mu Jingyan squatted down, hugged himself with his hands and cried.
Xiao Yujue was stunned and at a loss as to what to do.
"Jing Yan, what's wrong with you? Don't you like it? I'm sorry, time is running out and I don't know what to give you. Don't cry."
Xiao Yujue handed over her handkerchief. When Mu Jingyan raised his head and looked at him again, his face was already in tears.
She hesitated slightly, but still took the handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know...it turns out girls don't like fireworks. Well, consider it as I owe you a wish. Tell me what you want. As long as it's within my ability, I will definitely help you realize it."
Mu Jingyan sobbed and shook her head. She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"Your Highness, I'm fine. I like the gift you prepared for me. I just...was touched at the moment."
Mu Jingyan stood up and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
"In the past, my parents and brother were always by my side every time I celebrated my birthday. Now...my parents are gone. I never thought..."
Mu Jingyan looked back at Xiao Yujue. This high and mighty future crown prince actually took the trouble to celebrate her birthday.
This made her feel that there was more warmth in this world.
"Your Highness, thank you." Mu Jingyan said sincerely.
Xiao Yujue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Silly girl, I'm glad you like it. I didn't expect that the scene would bring back memories for you. Anyway, happy birthday."
Mu Jingyan smiled with joy, and the tears in his eyes were filled with warmth.
Xiao Yujue took out an exquisite box from his sleeve.
"Please accept this gift for you."
Mu Jingyan opened it and saw that it was an exquisite hairpin.
"I'll put it on for you." Xiao Yujue picked up the hairpin and put it in Mu Jingyan's hair. "Girls should dress up beautifully."
At this time, Xiao Yujue was very close to her, and Mu Jingyan could feel his breath. Her heartbeat accelerated, and her cheeks quickly flushed.
This birthday left a deep mark in her life.
There was constant news of victory from the front line. Mu Jingrui brought a letter from home to Mu Jingyan, hoping that she would not stay at the border but go back inside to be with Shangguan Wanning.
Mu Jingyan was a little unhappy, but Xiao Yujue asked her to go back, so she had no choice but to agree.
Early in the morning, Mu Jingyan sat in front of the mirror combing his hair, his mind full of the scenes of last night with Xiao Yujue.
She spread the hairpin in her palm and clenched it, her heart was filled with ripples.
"Jing Yan?"
Mu Jingyan was startled, and finally came to her senses. She turned around and saw Shangguan Wanning standing behind her.
"Wan Ning? Why did you come in?" Mu Jingyan's cheeks were hot. She avoided Shangguan Wan Ning's gaze guiltily, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"
"I've been knocking for a long time." Shangguan Wanning noticed that Mu Jingyan was abnormal and asked with concern, "Jingyan, are you okay? Are you sick?"
"No." Mu Jingyan nervously grabbed his long hair and put down the comb.
She looked around and saw that there was no one else in the room, so she pulled Shangguan Wanning to sit down.
"Wan Ning, there is something...I want to ask you."
"What's up?"
"Just...how did you know for sure that you like my brother?"
