After seeing the list of disciples from the old five major forces, the academy proposed that they formulate the competition rules. This was to make them lose with a clear conscience, but this was not an easy task, and the old five major forces racked their brains. Fortunately, there was half a month, otherwise they would not even have time to breathe.

While the old group of five major forces were busy, life at the academy was no different from usual. Xia Xiao practiced and wrote letters every day. In order to save more time for practice, Xia Xiao only wrote to his second sister every time. After she read the letter, she would tell her mother about her current situation and intentions. On this day, Xia Xiao wrote another letter, but what he was most concerned about was Xie Yi's current situation.

A few days ago, Xie Yi woke up and returned to the South. He wanted to go to another place to recuperate, and although the instructor disagreed, he still followed him back and was responsible for Xie Yi's daily recovery and care.

Compared to the Southland, the natural environment of the academy is more suitable for recuperation. The vitality here is abundant, and even if you do nothing, your injuries will heal faster than in the outside world. But the students are all practicing hard, and it is not good for Xie Yi to stay in there. Emotions such as impatience are the opposite of medicine for the injured.

The teacher was most afraid that Xie Yi would lose his talent for continuing to practice, leaving him with an incurable disease. Whether he could recover or not depended on God's will. The teacher was somewhat unhappy on the first day back in the South Country. Even though Cheng Wangfu was remote and far away from the downtown, the vitality here was poor. He was used to staying in the academy, and felt restless in such a place, always feeling something was wrong. But seeing Xie Yi, he acted more at ease than the academy, so the teacher agreed to stay.

In fact, Xie Yi came back only for Xia Wan. Half a year ago, after getting married, Xie Yi thought that he would have time to come back after walking up the mountain. But in the following half a year, he stayed in the academy and never came back once. Although he was seriously injured this time, at least he could come back. Xie Yi would not be panicked when recuperating here.

It was unacceptable not to go home for half a year after the wedding. Even if Xia Wan was considerate and did not blame Xie Yi, he still felt a little sorry. At this time, Xie Yi woke up from the wooden couch by the window, lifted the warm quilt on his body, and was about to go down, but he saw Xia Wan who was carefully taking care of the yard in the yard, and stopped where he was, unwilling to break the beautiful scenery at this time.

Even though the four seasons in the south are like spring, the courtyard is not as beautiful as usual at this early spring. It even looks a little desolate because many flowers and plants have not grown new leaves. But the figure in the courtyard is the best medicine to heal Xie Yi's injured body and mind, and everything else is just a foil. Seeing Xia Wan when he wakes up is something Xie Yi has been looking forward to for half a year, but it can only be realized in Chengwang Mansion.

Wearing a spring dress, Xia Wan was gentle and elegant. She pulled away the weeds in the yard with her slender hands and loosened the soil. When there was a bird chirping overhead, Xia Wan clapped her hands cleverly, scattered the dust, raised her white chin, and took it.

Turning around, Xia Wan found that Xie Yi had woken up and smiled like a flower, which was more like the spring flowers that had not yet bloomed. She took small steps, without the confidence and poetic spirit she had when they first met, but with the gentleness of a little bird.

All men like this side of women, and Xie Yi is no exception. Since he wants to see it, Xia Wan will satisfy him, as she always does.

Entering the room, Xia Wan handed the letter to Xie Yi. While she was washing her hands, the latter looked at her lovingly and said:

"These are jobs for servants, why are you always rushing to do them?"

Xia Wan had this habit when she first came to Cheng Wangfu, but Xie Yi would rather she put on a show in front of him than work so hard. Xia Wan didn't flatter herself. These were just personal interests and hobbies. There was no need to say that she was so hardworking and noble. So she just smiled and asked Xie Yi what was written in the letter.

"Xia Xiao asked about my injuries and said that I would go to the Earth King Palace in a few days."

"With Xiao'er's strength, there will definitely be no problem."

Although Xia Wan was not a practitioner, he knew Xia Wan very well, so he brought out the four treasures of the study and began to write back. Xie Yi spoke word by word, and Xia Wan wrote after listening and slightly modifying it, cooperating tacitly. Xie Yi stopped after saying a few words, and watched Xia Wan roll up her sleeves with one hand and hold a pen with the other, writing down words with great charm on the paper.

After a pause, Xia Wan raised her head and tried to explain with her eyes. But Xie Yi pretended not to understand, pinched Xia Wan's chin with his fingers, and smiled widely.

Xia Wan looked at him quietly, with no disgust or impatience in her eyes, only a sense of joy, as if she had finally found someone to accompany her after being alone for a long time. This joy made Xie Yi curious, and he lost his previous joy. He always felt that he could not see through Xia Wan, and felt that she had a mysterious aura, different from all other women, so he asked:

"I've been back for so long, and you've never complained about me."

"You are a student of the academy. You are doing things to uphold justice and interact with outstanding talents. You are not fooling around in places like Liuxianju. Why are you being criticized?"

“But I seldom go home.”

"You just need to take care of this place. I will plant bamboos and raise flowers in the mansion, and wait for you to come back day and night."

"They say that women who act like spoiled brats have the best fate. You are too sensible. I'm afraid you will be bullied."

Xie Yi let go, and Xia Wan also put down her pen. They were a young couple, sometimes very intimate, and sometimes very strange, as if they had only met a few times, and their familiarity with each other was only superficial. Xie Yi often had this feeling, as if Xia Wan only cooperated with him. Although she was not passive, there was just an indescribable feeling. To put it bluntly, Xia Wan did not say that she cared about him like an ordinary woman, which made him feel ignored, and even not that important in Xia Wan's eyes.

"As long as you don't bully me, other people's troubles don't count as bullying."

Xia Wan put a strand of hair behind her ear and said affectionately:

"I know what you are thinking. Like most wives, I want to keep my husband's heart. But I trust you, so I don't ask about many things. But that doesn't mean I don't want to know, or that I don't care, or that I don't love you."

After Xia Wan said this, Xie Yi seemed to understand where this magical emotion came from. Seeing that Xia Wan was busy with her own things and was still happy, he felt a little resentful and felt that everything Xia Wan had was not his, so he was unhappy. But as she said, it was not that she didn't care about him, but that what she did all day was rarely flawed, and he still had such emotions, which was a bit excessive.

While Xie Yi felt guilty, Xia Wan said:

"I have to make you feel that I have your back, that I can stand behind you and help you deal with all the family affairs. Just like Shu Shuang and Xiao Er in the past, although my ability is not as good as hers, and I can't go to the academy with you and make progress together, but at least I can stay in Chengwang Mansion without making you worry, so that you can practice with peace of mind."

Xia Wan looked out the window with hard work in her eyes.

"I actually want you to know that I'm not happy when you're not around."

Even though Xie Yi was a prince and had extraordinary pride, he couldn't help but say sorry at this moment. Xia Wan smiled and shook her head, and continued to write the letter. This smile was quite meaningful.

It's not that Xia Wan doesn't know how to capture Xie Yi's heart, but people who only know how to complain are never as likable as people who know how to be tolerant. Even if she is right, complaining all the time will only annoy Xie Yi, but not complaining about everything, or even not mentioning it, is not necessarily a good thing. But as long as Xie Yi feels guilty, Xia Wan's plan will succeed. She is not a lady from a wealthy family who knows nothing. She studies for this kind of cleverness.

Of course, Xia Wan wanted Xie Yi's guilt, not to get his compensation, but to continue this simple marriage relationship. The relationship between them was shallow because they had rarely interacted and shared memories before. If she wanted to strengthen it and turn it from a red string into a thick rope, she had to use some more means. After all, the novelty would wear off sooner or later, and she had to take precautions.

Xia Wan wrote letters and waited for letters, letters coming and going, until the last day when Xia Xiao went to the Palace of the King of Earth.
