"Niannian, hurry up, let's ride our horses ahead."
Xiao Yanzi, who had already mounted her horse, came to Chen Nian and Ertai and greeted Chen Nian.
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Nian didn't hesitate and nimbly mounted his horse.
I rode out with Little Swallow.
Ertai, Yongqi, and Benjamin followed.
...
Finally, after E Min had scouted ahead of them, they entered Master Zheng's courtyard to rest.
Chen Nian dismounted and followed everyone into a pavilion, where fresh pastries and fruits were laid out on the table.
Chen Nian picked a few plums and played with them in his hand.
Leaning lazily back in the chair, gazing out of the pavilion, eyes slightly squinted, enjoying the sunshine, he resembled a lazy kitten in the afternoon.
A pair of beautiful, shimmering peach blossom eyes, slightly narrowed, golden sunlight spilling into them, adding a touch of allure; thin lips pursed, the corners of her mouth outlining a beautiful curve, like a landscape painting.
Standing next to Shen Nian, Ertai looked down at Shen Nian's appearance, then quietly walked over to Benjamin and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ertai couldn't bear to stray too far from Chen Nian, so he came back as soon as he finished speaking, took some fruit and peeled it for someone. His phoenix eyes were filled with tenderness, and his heart and eyes were full of the person beside him who was admiring the scenery.
Little Swallow and Yongqi were playfully bickering.
Benjamin is drawing.
Qing'er was sipping tea and eating melon, while keeping an eye on the situation opposite her, her eyes filled with thought.
While basking in the sunshine, Ertai peels fresh fruit for others and appreciates the people around him.
Ziwei is making tea for the Emperor.
Erkang was at the Stone of Longing for His Wife.
On the other side of the river, the emperor and his ministers were flattering each other.
Everything complemented each other perfectly, and everyone was doing their own thing.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Nian withdrew her gaze from the pavilion and looked up at Ertai standing beside her, then at Qing'er sitting on her other side, and at Xiao Yanzi who was playing with Yongqi opposite her. She was momentarily dazed.
With a relaxed and carefree atmosphere and the most important people around me, I feel incredibly content. I truly wish time could stand still at this moment.
However, two people are still missing...
I wonder if I'll ever see them again in this lifetime...
"What's wrong?"
Looking at himself, then at Qing'er, and then at Xiao Yanzi, with a hint of longing in his eyes, Ertai had a feeling that something was about to happen.
Yes, it's about nostalgia.
Hearing the voice, Qing'er turned her head and looked at Chen Nian, her eyes showing clear concern.
"It's alright, it's so good to have you all here."
Receiving the two people's concerned glances, Shen Nianyang gave a faint smile and shook his head.
"Benjamin, could you please draw a picture for us?"
Looking at the two people standing beside him, he silently called out to Benjamin, who had just finished painting the landscape.
"May I?"
After finishing speaking, Chen Nian realized that he hadn't asked the person involved for their opinion, so he looked up at the two people beside him and asked.
She wanted to leave some trace of her existence; she wanted a "photo" with the people she cared about.
She admitted that she was selfish and didn't want to be forgotten in the end.
Chen Nian's voice was very soft and gentle, as if it were drifting from a very far place, yet it also seemed to be right next to her ear, making her heart ache.
"good."
"Can."
Qing'er and Ertai exchanged a glance and both noticed that something was wrong with Chen Nian, but neither of them spoke and followed Chen Nian's thoughts.
"Benjamin, draw us a picture."
Perhaps because his voice was too soft, Benjamin didn't hear him, so Ertai called out "Benjamin" again.
