From Ji Xingzhi's perspective, she could only see Xiao Moyan's smooth jawline. Still nestled in Xiao Moyan's arms, she nudged her head against his chest, finding a comfortable position to lean against. She looked up at his jawline and whispered, "Uncle, why are you here?"
Xiao Moyan didn't even look at Ji Xingzhi, staring straight ahead at the road, and said calmly: "I'm afraid you'll freeze to death."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingzhi curled her lips and said indifferently, "I won't die that easily."
Xiao Moyan was silent for a long time, his indifferent voice more ethereal than usual: "Xingzhi."
"Hmm?" Ji Xingzhi answered with a nasal tone.
"How old are you this year?" Xiao Moyan asked lightly.
Ji Xingzhi heard this, thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... seventeen."
"Seventeen..." Xiao Moyan chewed on the two numbers in a low voice, and the words of the eunuch echoed in his mind: "If she didn't have the bond pendant, she wouldn't live past the age of twenty."
Thinking of this, Xiao Moyan felt his heart tighten, with an indescribable complex emotion.
Ji Xingzhi had no idea what Xiao Moyan was thinking. Having sobered up a bit, she jokingly said with a smile, "Why is the emperor asking this? Are you preparing a birthday present for your nephew in advance?"
Xiao Moyan paused slightly and said indifferently, "It's time to prepare in advance."
"Ah? Why in advance?" Ji Xingzhi asked in confusion.
It's only March now, and it's still a long way to go before her birthday.
"You are now able to stand on your own, and it's time for me to leave." Xiao Moyan said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingzhi's face changed slightly, and she suddenly put her arms around Xiao Moyan's neck, forcing Xiao Moyan to stop and look at her.
"Where are you going?" Ji Xingzhi asked.
Xiao Moyan lowered his eyes and glanced at Ji Xingzhi lightly before looking away: "The land is vast, there is no place that cannot be visited."
Ji Xingzhi heard this answer which was equivalent to no answer, and immediately frowned. She looked at Xiao Moyan with a sullen face and said, "No!"
After a pause, Ji Xingzhi looked at Xiao Moyan with an unprecedented seriousness, and said word by word: "Xiao Moyan, I like you."
This seemed to be the first time she called him by his full name.
Xiao Moyan didn't react in any special way, he just raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "So?"
Since she was a child, Ji Xingzhi had expressed her love for Xiao Moyan countless times, but this time, she was more serious than ever.
"So...so you can't leave." Ji Xingzhi frowned and answered very seriously.
Xiao Moyan paused slightly, then lowered his eyes to look at Ji Xingzhi: "Because you like me, you can't leave. How is that?"
After hearing Xiao Moyan's slightly teasing words, Ji Xingzhi pouted and said proudly: "I don't care, I am the emperor, you have to listen to me!"
Hearing this, Xiao Moyan was stunned for a moment. Looking at Ji Xingzhi with an expression of "I am the emperor and I am the boss", he felt that she was very cute. There was a hint of smile in her cold eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a faint smile on her face.
Ji Xingzhi looked at Xiao Moyan in a daze. The hand that was around Xiao Moyan's neck suddenly shifted position and held Xiao Moyan's face with both hands. Under Xiao Moyan's puzzled gaze, Ji Xingzhi suddenly leaned forward and pretended to kiss Xiao Moyan's lips.
Xiao Moyan immediately stopped smiling, and the hand that was around Ji Xingzhi's waist suddenly freed itself and pressed against Ji Xingzhi's forehead.
"I am your uncle." Xiao Moyan reminded lightly.
Ji Xingzhi looked unsatisfied, pouting and trying to be cute: "Uncle, give me a kiss."
