The night sky is studded with stars, but the moon is nowhere to be seen.
Having been separated from her beloved for more than ten hours, the person looked down at the patterns on the stone table with a sullen expression.
She and that girl Yuanyuan are now staying in an empty house in Taoyuan Village.
This empty house is located at the remote end of the village and has been uninhabited for many years, with a lot of dust accumulated on it.
Miss Yu and Xue Yueyue have been cleaning and haven't eaten yet.
Hua Qingyan touched her empty stomach. She had only eaten a bowl of lean meat porridge in the morning and a steamed bun at noon.
This is the first time in ten years that I've gone hungry.
Unconsciously, she recalled her first encounter with him ten years ago. At that time, she ate sweet potatoes for three days, which was equivalent to being hungry for three days, before she found him.
This time, it's his turn to find her. How long will it take him to find her?
Before she could even come up with a rough idea, the dusty-looking Miss Yu had already run to her side and whispered to her:
"Huahua, it's time to eat. There's something wrong with this village. I'll take you away tomorrow."
"Xue Yueyue is still inside, and Huahua has to continue pretending to be deaf and mute."
After Yu Yuanyuan finished speaking, she raised her hand to brush away the strands of hair that fell onto her friend's eyelashes and examined her exquisite and beautiful features.
She had applied tree sap to cover her fair and beautiful skin, but unexpectedly, her flowers were allergic to those things.
Upon arriving at Peach Blossom Village, her fair and flawless cheeks began to turn red and itch, scaring her so much that she almost lost her mind.
I quickly washed it with clean water, and the pain gradually subsided.
Fortunately, it was only a slight redness, and after a few hours, it has now returned to normal.
During the afternoon's thorough cleaning, she didn't dare let her flowers touch the dust, and instead settled them under the osmanthus tree in the yard to cool off.
The house has been uninhabited for so long that it's covered in cobwebs and dust, which is why it's in this state now.
Yu Yuanyuan took Hua Qingyan's soft, boneless hand and looked at her fair face, which glowed even in the dim night.
A deep sense of unease rose in his heart. This stunning beauty might be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives before she even left the village.
When Xue Yueyue saw the Flower Fairy's true appearance in the afternoon, she was so amazed that she couldn't recover for a long time, and even blurted out a sentence:
"Hua Hua's appearance is truly rare in this world. If Young Master Ye, who is not interested in women, were to see her, he would probably be instantly turned into a demon."
Ms. Yu immediately stepped in front of her friend, interrupting her.
“Yueyue, Huahua can’t speak or hear. I was afraid she would be bullied, so I resorted to this tactic to cover up her true appearance.”
She was even more afraid that what was said unintentionally might be taken to heart by the listener.
When I entered the village today, I could tell that this place was "extraordinary".
Especially in the evening, she witnessed women dressed provocatively getting into a luxury car that drove in from outside.
She had been married into the Tong family for several years, and while she wouldn't say she had developed a keen eye for detail, she had certainly seen some expensive items.
The pearl necklaces and gemstones worn by those women alone are beyond the reach of ordinary families.
Imagine: In an era when there was barely enough to eat and wear, it was already difficult for a widow to support herself. Where would she get the spare money to buy jewelry that didn't match her status?
The more Yu Yuanyuan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
Standing behind her, Hua Qingyan showed little emotion, simply because she believed that her Hanhan would arrive to find her soon.
She glanced lightly at the "bracelet" around her wrist. On her slender, fair wrist, there was only a beautifully woven cord. Her favorite cufflinks had been thrown into a crack in the stone of the clothing shop.
She hopes that the handsome man who shares her soul will see its existence.
However, given his incredibly accurate nose, he'd probably be able to easily detect her lingering scent on it.
Her thoughts drifted further and further away, recalling the full moon night two years ago.
That night was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She had planned to have dinner and enjoy the moon with Ye Minghan, but she waited in the courtyard until nine o'clock, and he, who had gone out to handle official business, still hadn't returned.
In a fit of anger, she ran back upstairs, locked the door, and stayed in her room sulking.
He didn't return until 10 p.m., sitting in his wheelchair. After closing the gate, he stood up and went upstairs to look for her.
She was still angry and refused to open the door no matter how much he begged her.
Finally, he actually climbed over the wall and jumped over the balcony to get in!
She noticed something amiss on the balcony, so she quickly walked over to lock the balcony door.
Unexpectedly, she was still a step too slow.
She had just stepped off the balcony when she was forcefully pulled into his burning embrace, held onto the balcony railing, and kissed on the lips through his veil.
She was afraid of falling, so she could only wrap her arms around his neck and let him kiss her through her veil.
That kiss ended... in bed.
Recalling that night, Hua Qingyan's delicate face turned red to her ears, as if she had done something embarrassing.
Fortunately, Yuanyuan was chatting with Xue Yueyue and didn't notice her unusually hot face.
After the three of them had a simple dinner together, they went to their respective rooms to rest.
The house only has two rooms. Yu Yuanyuan spoke first, saying that her little sister Huahua has never been used to sleeping in the same bed with others since she was a child, and she wants to share a room with Xue Yueyue.
Xue Yueyue, who had already changed into silk pajamas, had no objections.
With tears in her eyes, she patted the little fairy's head sympathetically and said:
"Poor Huahua, she must have suffered a lot."
By the afternoon, she had been successfully brainwashed by Ms. Yu.
No, I should say: I heard about Huahua's tragic past from Yuanyuan.
She sighed: "What a cruel twist of fate!"
