The rain fell for a long time before it slowly stopped. Seeing that it was no longer raining, Xiao Ning smiled faintly at the white-haired woman, and then turned and left. The white-haired woman looked at his departing back, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and murmured, "Long time no see," and then she put on her hat and disappeared into the street.
When Xiao Ning got home, he couldn't get the image of the white-haired woman out of his mind for a long time. He didn't know why he had a sense of déjà vu. Just as Xiao Ning was thinking, Bai Ziyun came forward and put a towel on his head, rubbing his wet hair roughly, and scolded
"Ning'er, why did you run out again? It's raining so hard outside. What if you get wet?"
Xiao Ning laughed and said, "We were just out strolling, who would have known it would suddenly start to rain!"
Not long after, Leng Qingqiu came in and brought ginger soup, and fed it to him personally. Xiao Ning pretended to take the bowl, saying that he could do it himself, but Leng Qingqiu refused.
"Laining'er, open your mouth, ah~"
Xiao Ning felt a little uncomfortable being served by the two, thinking that he was not that fragile. At night, Xiao Ning was lying on the bed, and Bai Ziyun beside him stroked his white hair. She looked at Xiao Ning with gentle eyes and asked softly: "Did anything happen today? You seem to be worried." Xiao Ning held Bai Ziyun's hand, smiled and shook his head, "It's just some small things, don't worry." However, his heart could not calm down. The figure of the white-haired woman kept appearing in his mind, and it seemed that she said "Long time no see", as if hiding some deep meaning.
As the night deepened, Xiao Ning fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he dreamed of a summer night when he was a child, when he was walking in the market with Chu Qian and Xiao Ding. Xiao Ning sat on Xiao Ding's shoulders, and Chu Qian was teasing him with a candied haws.
However, when they met a crowded street, Xiao Ning got lost from the two of them because he was too playful. At that time, he had just learned to speak. Even if he had the memory of his previous life, what use was he in the appearance of a child? He was a little overwhelmed and could only find a relatively high place hoping that the Xiao couple would find him.
Just as he was about to climb up a fence, his feet slipped and he was about to fall down. Suddenly, a pair of soft hands supported Xiao Ning from behind. He looked back and saw a very beautiful woman holding him in her arms. She smiled at Xiao Ning, and a familiar feeling was revealed in her eyes. Xiao Ning calmed down and looked at the woman's face carefully. Her skin was as smooth as jade, like a fairy descending from the earth, and there was a mole on her right cheek...
Mole! Xiao Ning suddenly woke up, gasping for breath. Bai Ziyun, who was standing beside him, was awakened by his movements and quickly stood up to look at him.
"What's wrong with Ning'er? Did you have a nightmare?"
Bai Ziyun wiped the sweat off Xiao Ning's face with his hand, then took him into his arms and patted his back gently.
"Don't be afraid, the Master is here, don't be afraid.
Xiao Ning looked up at Bai Ziyun and said guiltily:
"I'm sorry, Master, for disturbing your sleep.
"It's okay, Ning'er, did you have a nightmare?
Xiao Ning shook his head and said:
“I dreamt about some things from my childhood…
Bai Ziyun didn't ask any more questions, and just kept stroking his hair gently. After a long time, the two of them hugged each other and slowly fell asleep again...
The next morning, Xiao Ning slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his swollen head. The dream he had that night made him a little uneasy because he couldn't remember what happened afterwards. This was indeed his memory, but he just couldn't remember it.
He looked at Bai Ziyun beside him, and simply stopped thinking about it. Then he got out of bed gently and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. There were more and more people in the house, and Xiao Ning didn't want to add more burden to Xiyue and Song Junwan, so he simply cooked for Bai Ziyun, Leng Qingqiu and others himself.
After finishing, he brought the breakfast back to the courtyard, knocked on everyone's door, and then returned to his room to help Bai Ziyun get dressed and wash up.
When Xiao Ning was dressing Bai Ziyun, the communication disc made a sound. He wondered who would send him a message so early in the morning. He stopped what he was doing and took out the disc. It was a recording of the eldest princess Dongfang Qinyin. Xiao Ning immediately clicked on the message.
"Ning'er, next week is my birthday, so I'm inviting you to come to the capital as my guest. You must attend. I'm waiting for you!"
After hearing the news, Xiao Ning turned to look at Bai Ziyun with a questioning look in his eyes: Master, do you want to go to the capital for a visit?
When Bai Ziyun heard that Xiao Ning was going to take her out, she was very happy and threw herself on Xiao Ning.
"Go, go, go! Ning'er, you finally thought of taking me as your master this time!"
Seeing Bai Ziyun so happy, Xiao Ning smiled and said, "Well, let's go and ask Aunt Leng and the others if they want to go."
Bai Ziyun said coquettishly:
"No! If you ask them, they will definitely want to go with you. How about we just go the two of us this time~"
Xiao Ning had no resistance to Bai Ziyun's coquetry, so he could only nod and agree with her idea. But he still told the Xiao couple about the matter, and then told Leng Qingqiu after they left.
Before dawn the next day, the two packed up their things and secretly left the Xiao Mansion. But before they walked out of the gate, they saw a slender figure blocking them at the door.
Leng Qingqiu went up to Xiao Ning and grabbed the corner of his clothes. "Ning'er, where are you going?" Leng Qingqiu had tears in her eyes, which made Xiao Ning feel distressed.
"Aunt Leng, I..." Xiao Ning was speechless. He didn't know how to explain to Leng Qingqiu.
"If senior sister hadn't let the secret slip, I would still be kept in the dark. You're going to abandon me again..." Leng Qingqiu felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.
Xiao Ning's head hurts when he sees a woman crying. Seeing that it's almost dawn, he quickly picks up Leng Qingqiu and says to Bai Ziyun:
