When Xiao Jie asked about his return, he just said that he fainted because he was too tired after walking for too long, and didn't say anything else.
He had no recollection of what happened in the alley, including the fact that his eyes had turned red.
Zhang Xiulin didn't want him to remember anything, she just wanted him to be happy like he is now.

Upon learning that Xiao Jie had woken up, Song Wanxian hurried in to see him and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was fine.
Two days later, Xiao Jie's body was completely healed.
It was on this day that Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan came to the Xiao family. They brought Wu, the matchmaker, with them to arrange the engagement of the two little ones.
Because it was beneficial to both parties, the marriage went smoothly.
Ever since Zhang Xiulin passed the imperial examination, the people of Renhe County have been paying close attention to her, and the news of her engagement to Xiao Jie was soon spread.
Some people say that Xiao Jie is not worthy of Zhang Xiulin at all.
Some people say that the Xiao family must have used some means. After all, the Han family's family background is many times better than that of the Xiao family. Anyone who is not blind will choose the Han family.
Some people also say that Zhang Xiulin was forced to marry Xiao Jie.
There were all kinds of voices, but no one was optimistic about the two.
Xiao Jie didn't care. For him, being engaged to Sister Lin was the happiest thing.
The good-tempered Zhang Xiulin turned irritable this time. As soon as he heard someone making a bad comment, he would immediately retort without mercy.
Scholars have the sharpest tongues. After being criticized by Zhang Xiulin several times, no one dared to talk about it anymore.
After the provincial examination, Zhang Xiulin returned to the private school to attend classes.
Xiao Jie would run to the private school from time to time and feed Zhang Xiulin on time, fearing that Zhang Xiulin would neglect his meals and sleep because of studying.
So, every time Xiao Jie came, Zhang Xiulin's classmates would make fun of him.
"Xiu Lin, your fiancé is here again..."
Zhang Xiulin looked at the little boy running towards her, stepping on the sunlight and with eyes as bright as stars. The joy and doting in her eyes gradually deepened.
She hummed and said, "My fiancé is here..."

Capital
The luxurious carriage drove forward and finally stopped in front of a mansion.
"Liansheng, Lansheng, get off the bus, we're here."
Zhuang Rongjun got off the carriage first and shouted in front of another carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside by a pair of white hands.
The figure of a little boy about eight years old appeared.
Zhuang Rongjun gave Qiu Shuang beside him a look.
Qiu Shuang understood what he meant and carried the little boy down from the carriage.
"Liansheng, get off the bus."
Zhuang Rongjun coughed lightly and raised his hand, revealing a piece of snow-white wrist, obviously trying to help the person in the carriage get out.
Soon, a white hand hesitated, and after a few seconds it was placed in her palm.
Feeling the warmth and softness of his palm, Zhuang Rongjun's eyes lit up with joy, and he inexplicably wanted to hum a little tune.
Zhuang Rongjun helped the people out of the carriage.
He was a young man dressed in white, with long black hair like a waterfall, handsome features, an ethereal air about him, and exceptionally clear eyes.
This person was Lin Liansheng, who came to the capital with his younger brother and Zhuang Rongjun.
"Are we there yet?" Liansheng asked.
In front of him was a magnificent mansion. Liansheng looked up and saw the three words "General's Mansion" on the plaque, which made his pupils shrink.
Liansheng had never been to the capital, never left Renhe County, and had never come into contact with real powerful people.
But he sometimes read storybooks, and she was not stupid, so she knew what the three words "General's Mansion" meant.
She knew that Zhuang Rongjun was of noble status.
She had imagined many different identities for Zhuang Rongjun, but none of them was as precious as the current one.
Somehow, Liansheng suddenly felt a little frightened.
