An Yuan'er thought: She would never forget this day for the rest of her life. Beautiful, dreamlike, and a little unbelievable.
In her heart, the man before her was almost omnipotent; he could always fulfill all her wishes.
The graceful kite soared high in the night, and she leaned on his shoulder, feeling utterly content in that moment.
The girl, whose thoughts were constantly shifting, asked, "Ah Li, won't they get tired flying kites like this? They're just flying around in the sky the whole time."
"No. This is part of their daily training. If they don't even have this much stamina, they won't be able to fulfill their duties as Shadow Guards."
An Yuan'er admired capable people, and she exclaimed, "Are they all as capable as Shuangshuang?"
"Each of them has different strengths. Overall, they are about the same."
"What is Shuangshuang good at?" An Yuan'er asked curiously. She had Shuangshuang, but she didn't know what Shuangshuang's strengths were.
"Tracking technique".
No wonder they both felt so uncomfortable with the smell of perfume on the women at the brothel that day, and couldn't help but want to leave. It turns out his nose was too sensitive. An Yuan'er finally understood.
"Ah Li, I'm so happy today. It all feels like a dream." An Yuan'er was tired, and her voice grew softer and softer.
Yi Chenli smoothed the stray hairs from her forehead and murmured, "My girl, I hope you will always be happy, just like today."
The girl was asleep, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, her red lips pouting, her head nestled in Yi Chenli's arms, a tiny, adorable bundle.
Yi Chenli tenderly and lovingly placed a kiss on the girl's lips.
Yi Chenli didn't say it aloud, but his mouth movements revealed that he said "I love you," the words An Yuan'er had been waiting for so long to hear.
But then he sighed and said, "I'm sorry."
No one understands Yi Chenli's contradictions and complexities.
She had so many wonderful wishes that hadn't been fulfilled yet, but he had to let her go.

I had a good night's sleep.
As with many mornings, An Yuan'er stayed in bed for a while before getting up to wash and dress.
An Yuan'er hadn't noticed anything amiss yet. She was even humming a song while washing up, seemingly in a good mood.
It wasn't until she went to the bronze mirror to comb her hair that An Yuan'er realized that her favorite hairpins were nowhere to be found.
She looked around carefully and noticed that even the Divine Arrow that Yi Chenli had given her after winning the archery tournament, which had originally hung in the center of the room, was now gone.
An Yuan'er felt a pang of panic. Could it be that Chenyang Palace had been robbed?
She stood up from in front of the bronze mirror and shouted towards the door, "Guoguo, Guoguo."
Guoguo appeared soon after, and An Yuan'er noticed that the little girl was not wearing palace attire, but rather everyday clothes.
An Yuan'er blurted out, "Why are you dressed like this? It's not a day to leave the palace."
Guoguo rubbed her clothes with both hands, feeling uneasy and unsure how to start the conversation with the young lady.
When this girl gets nervous, her little movements become very obvious.
An Yuan'er finally sensed something was wrong. She straightened her face and said seriously, "You little girl, are you hiding something from me? Where are the things in this room? Where did they all go?"
Guoguo is going all out; she'll tell the young lady sooner or later.
“Miss, today is indeed not the day to leave the palace. It is... the day we officially leave Chenyang Palace.”
For a moment, An Yuan'er was completely stunned, her mind went blank, and her voice trembled uncontrollably, filled with shock and anger: "Nonsense! When did I say I was leaving?"
