Xiao Zhan: '......'
“When did I ask for your thanks? I just wanted to put your mind at ease that day. If you really want to give me something, why don’t you come with me to admire the plum blossoms today?” Xiao Zhan said.
Jiang Wei hesitated, "This..."
Xiao Zhan's ears twitched, and he put his index finger to his lips to signal Jiang Wei to be quiet.
Jiang Wei nodded silently at Xiao Zhan.
“Someone’s coming, let’s hide,” Xiao Zhan said as he walked to her side.
Jiang Wei nodded.
Xiao Zhan picked up Jiang Wei, touched the ground with his toes, and leaped onto a tree branch.
Jiang Wei's eyes widened, and she dared not move in his arms.
Xiao Zhan lowered his eyes and gazed at the person in his arms, his eyes softening with tenderness.
Jiang Wei, nestled in his arms, was delicate and light. Her expression shifted from shock to fear and shyness, and a deep blush spread across her flawless face.

Jiang Wei sat quietly to the side, watching the plum blossoms approach from afar, and let out a soft "hmm" from her throat.
How could she refuse? He had saved her life and had tirelessly rescued her brother from the steward's clutches. Although she could do it herself, it wouldn't be so easy.
Jiang Wei was very grateful to him, but she didn't understand why he would help her again and again.
She had previously thought it was because of her maternal grandfather, but he was an incomparably noble War King, while her maternal grandfather was just a merchant. What kind of relationship could they have that would make him help her like this?
Jiang Wei was lost in thought but remained silent, holding onto the tree trunk with her body straight, carefully avoiding any movement.
Xiao Zhan had thought that Jiang Wei would disagree and stay to admire the plum blossoms with him.
To his surprise, Jiang Wei agreed immediately.
Xiao Zhan relaxed, glanced at Jiang Wei, and then followed her gaze.
