In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the windows into the room, illuminating every corner.
The air was filled with a refreshing scent, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Everything was so fresh and beautiful, as if the whole world had been washed clean.
Li Baobei slowly opened her eyes, feeling a splitting headache.
She tried hard to recall what had happened last night, but her mind went blank.
"How did I get here? What happened last night..." she murmured to herself.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind—it must have been Dongfang who carried her back to the room!
Thinking of this, Li Baobei couldn't help but blush and feel her heart race. She didn't know if she had done anything out of line last night, and only hoped that Dongfang wouldn't mind.
After all, their relationship was still quite delicate, and she didn't want to ruin that understanding because of a drunken night.
"Drinking leads to trouble! I black out every time I drink, I really can't keep going like this..." Li Baobei silently warned herself.
She decided to control her alcohol intake from now on to avoid falling into such an embarrassing situation again.
After washing up, Li Baobei carefully dressed herself and then walked towards the door.
The moment she stepped out of the room, her gaze fell upon Dongfang Yerong in the distant pavilion.
His figure was tall and slender, his white robe fluttering in the wind, making him appear like a celestial being descended to earth. Sunlight bathed him, enveloping him in a golden glow, as if a gentle breeze could carry him away.
Li Baobei gazed quietly at Dongfang Yerong's figure, a strange emotion welling up in her heart.
This man is always so mysterious.
However, she also knew clearly that there was an inexplicable chasm between them, and she herself did not know why she had this different feeling.
Li Baobei shook her head vigorously, as if trying to shake off all the distracting thoughts in her mind, and then whispered to herself, "Don't overthink things all day long, Li Baobei. You have to keep a clear head. The most important thing is to cherish the present moment."
After saying these words, she quickly adjusted her facial expression. The slight unease she had felt earlier vanished instantly, replaced by a bright smile.
Immediately afterwards, Li Baobei walked briskly toward Dongfang Yerong.
When she reached him, she said, "Wow, Dongfang, you're up so early today! Thank you so much for last night~ I hope I didn't do anything to offend you~"
As she spoke, she unconsciously scratched her head, a faint blush rising on her cheeks, revealing a hint of embarrassment.
Dongfang Yerong's expression froze slightly for a moment, but this state only lasted for a second.
"No, I saw you drank too much last night, so I carried you inside to sleep." Dongfang Yerong had a hearty and sunny smile on his face, but his mind was racing.
He originally thought that after sleeping soundly from being drunk last night, Li Nannan should have already recalled the bits and pieces of the past.
He imagined that when he woke up this morning, she would tell him in person that she was going to find He You.
But now it seems that nothing has changed; she still hasn't remembered those things from the past.
In that instant, all the terrible thoughts from last night seemed to vanish without a trace, as if blown away by a gentle breeze.
Nan Nan still stayed by his side, and belonged solely to him.
This feeling is like the warm winter sun shining on you, warm and comfortable.
It's like a gentle breeze on a summer night caressing your face, soft and pleasant.
At this moment, Dongfang Yerong's heart was filled with happiness and contentment, as if the whole world had become beautiful again, and the cataclysmic event she had imagined had not occurred.
If only things could stay like this forever...

Time flies, and the days pass by one by one.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yerong's health condition has also improved significantly during this period.
Compared to a few months ago, he is now almost fully recovered, and his complexion is gradually becoming rosy again.
However, every gathering must eventually come to an end.
Although Li Baobei was filled with reluctance, the day of parting inevitably arrived.
On this day, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze caressed their faces, as if bidding them farewell.
Li Baobei packed her luggage and prepared to embark on her journey home.
On the eve of her departure, Li Baobei went to Lingshan for a hot spring bath with Xiao Lanyu again, wanting to imprint everything here deeply in her mind.
On the way back, all around was quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
Suddenly, a soft call broke the silence—"Big sister, are you leaving?"
The one speaking was Xiao Lanyu. She stood not far away, her eyes revealing a hint of reluctance and hesitation.
Although the sound was faint, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet environment.
After what seemed like an internal struggle, she finally mustered the courage to ask, her body trembling slightly involuntarily.
Upon hearing the sound, Li Baobei slowly stopped and looked up at Xiao Lanyu.
The little girl in front of me had a pair of big, watery eyes, like two bright gems, beautiful and charming.
However, at this moment, tears welled up in those eyes, as if mist filled them, which made people feel pity.
Li Baobei slowly squatted down and carefully and gently embraced Xiao Lanyu in her arms, as if she were an incomparably precious treasure.
Her voice was clear and gentle as she softly said, "Mmm." This simple word contained endless reluctance.
Tears welled up uncontrollably in Xiao Lanyu's eyes and silently slid down her cheeks.
However, she simply nestled silently in her arms, without uttering a word, gazing at her with her clear eyes, her eyes filled with longing.
Li Baobei sensed Xiao Lanyu's emotions, and she hugged the small body in her arms even tighter, trying to give her more warmth and strength.
She continued to comfort her, "I will come back to see you, Little Blue Jade, I definitely will..."
Little Blue Jade finally nodded gently and whispered, "Okay, you must come back to see me~"
Her beautiful eyes were slightly red, as if tears were glistening within them. She suppressed the trembling that came from her body and mustered all her strength to give the beautiful older sister in front of her an incredibly bright smile, hoping that the sister would remember her smile.
Her smile blossomed like a flower, as warm and bright as the spring sun shining on the earth.
Like the dazzling stars in the night sky, they are so precious and worthy of our sympathy.
However, beneath this seemingly beautiful exterior lies an unspeakable emotion.
The brief answer, filled with unwavering determination, revealed Xiao Lanyu's absolute trust in Li Baobei.
She believed that her older sister would not break her promise.
