"What's wrong?"
As Xie Fu and Shu Yun returned to the mansion hand in hand, Xie Fu caught a glimpse of her looking up at the sky.
He looked up with her, and there was only a dark, unremarkable night sky. Apart from the moon, there wasn't a single star worth noting.
"What are you looking at?"
From that first glance under the wishing tree, he had an unusually keen intuition that told him something was off about her look.
Her expression remained completely calm throughout the rest of the night, which put him at ease, making him wonder if he was being too paranoid.
Having been watched by a crowd the whole time, Shu Yun was in a bad mood.
But those gods and demons above seemed to have no brains; they followed her wherever she went.
Shu Yun calmly glanced at the few immortals who were following closely in the sky, and a fire in her heart made her want to take action.
With Xie Fu by her side, she managed to hold back.
After all, they were immortals with long lifespans. Having lived for so many years, once they realized what was happening, they consciously began to distance themselves.
Shu Yun withdrew her gaze, looked up at Xie Fu, and smiled slightly, "Watching the snow."
Xie Fu glanced at her.
Shu Yun hooked his hand with her finger, "Look at the moonlight, don't the snowflakes look like falling white pear petals?"
Xie Fu looked in the direction she indicated, and in the cool moonlight, tiny white specks were falling down.
He didn't see anything special about it; it was just an ordinary snow scene.
But he noticed the white pear blossoms she mentioned.
After letting her stand there for a little while longer, Xie Fu pulled her into the mansion. No matter what, he couldn't let her stand there dumbly in the winter wind forever.
He recalled the faint, almost imperceptible floral scent emanating from her, a scent he had never known about.
Today, the clothes she is wearing are also embroidered with white pear blossoms in silver thread.
Perhaps someone could plant a pear grove in the Xie residence, and when the flowers bloom, he might be able to tell if it's the fragrance of pear blossoms.
After the two entered the house, Xiaoshu took the rabbit lanterns from them and carefully stored them away. These were the product of the Crown Prince and Princess's loving date, so they couldn't be taken lightly.
Shu Yun reached out to untie the cloak's ties, and Xie Fu, whose arms were tied together with the red ribbon, also raised his arms.
It was too inconvenient to have their hands tied together, so Shu Yun pulled Xie Fu to sit down and began to untie the strips of cloth.
Xie Fu looked down at her and said in a low voice, "The Northern Border has been unstable recently, and I have to set off for the Northern Border tomorrow."
Shu Yun hummed in agreement, indicating that she understood.
Untying the knot on Xie Fu's wrist, she began tying the knot on her own wrist with one hand, saying, "I'll go with you."
Xie Fufu reached out and helped her untie the knot, saying, "It's too dangerous."
Shu Yun returned his words verbatim: "It's too dangerous."
Do you know that right above us, there are hundreds of people flying around, watching you?
The red cloth strip that had been removed slid onto the table. Xie Fu glanced at it and said, "Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you are afraid of the cold, and your body will be harmed just like an ordinary person."
Shu Yun did not answer again. Xie Fu could only see her long, drooping eyelashes, but could not see the emotions in her shimmering eyes.
However, he knew that she had not compromised.
Xie Fu silently succumbed to the silence between the two.
He chuckled to himself. Ever since he heard her whispered words in her sleep but chose to back down, he knew that he truly had no way to deal with the person in front of him.
Xie Fu looked at the red cloth strip lying quietly on the table. Shu Yun refused to use it to make another wish, and instead tied it to their wrists.
He had a rough idea of what her wish might be.
He had had enough of the wild speculation and self-torture he had been experiencing lately, so he decided to let go of the things that stirred up his gloom.
When Shu Yun, dressed in her finest attire, walked towards him from the snow and moonlight, Xie Fu knew that he could never escape her in this lifetime.
