The girl pursed her lips. She said nothing, but she didn't dare look at him, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
She took a few steps forward and sat down beside the guqin.
The girl turned her head, raised her bare hands lightly, and plucked the strings of the piano with her fingertips. The sound of the piano poured out from her pair of white jade-like fingers, melodious and lingering, like heavenly music.
Xiao Yue looked a little dazed.
This song was the same as the one he played before - Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix.
He couldn't help but murmur, "There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget her after seeing her."
The girl paused and stopped playing the piano.
Xiao Yue looked at her and only saw the girl's shy expression.
Even though Xiao Yue knew that the woman's heart belonged to him, he felt that his words were too blunt and frivolous. He changed the subject: "I have been searching for many days and finally found this beautiful magnolia forest. Do you like it?"
When she saw the magnolia forest behind her, Fei Wan's eyes showed surprise.
"like."
"Green mountains and clear waters, with these magnolia flowers..."
Fei Wan raised her hand to block the sunlight. She looked up at the sky and said, "Even the sky is clearer and more spacious than before."
Fei Wan hinted at something, Xiao Yue smiled and said, "If you like, I will bring you here often in the future."
"only……"
Fei Wan sighed and looked towards the city: "I still prefer places full of the atmosphere of fireworks."
Xiao Yue knew the identity of the woman in front of him. She came from the common people and was very nostalgic about her past experiences.
The smell of fireworks...
Xiao Yue repeated this word in his mind, a little distracted. His mother was also from a commoner family. Before the accident, she often told him about things outside the palace, but by the time he was able to build a residence outside, she was gone...
Xiao Yue's eyes darkened. After hearing Fei Wan's words, he did not hesitate and wanted to take her into the city.
Regardless of how much Xiao Yue truly loved her, after Fei Wan returned to the capital, as long as her eyes lingered on certain stalls on the street, Xiao Yue would buy them for her.
Fei Wan took it with a smile. She raised her eyes slightly, saw an alley not far away, and stopped.
The girl bit her lip, seeming a little embarrassed.
Xiao Yue spoke at the right time: "What's wrong?"
"I want to go in and take a look."
The girl looked at him sincerely, "Will you come with me?"
…
Fei Wan arrived at a house and knocked on the door.
After waiting for a moment, the door opened.
Fei Wan called her, "Aunt Li."
The person who opened the door was an old lady. When she saw Fei Wan, her eyes lit up.
"Miss Nan, why are you here?"
Fei Wan smiled: "Aunt Li, I just wanted to come and see you..."
Fei Wan handed her the cakes she had bought earlier. She turned her head to glance at Xiao Yue beside her, then looked at Aunt Li: "Can we come in together?"
"What are you talking about, Miss Nan?"
Aunt Li laughed heartily and welcomed them in.
But as soon as the door was opened, the sound of dogs barking was heard.
A big wolfhound was baring its fangs and claws at them. Fei Wan felt that Xiao Yue beside him seemed to be tense.
Although it is a local dog that can be seen everywhere, it is huge in size and looks like a wolf. It shows its sharp teeth and looks extremely ferocious.
Aunt Li scolded the big wolf dog, and it finally quieted down.
After entering the house, Aunt Li asked them about their well-being, asked about Fei Wan's recent situation, and even teased them about their relationship.
Watching Fei Wan chatting with Aunt Li, Xiao Yue relieved his previous tension and relaxed as well.
Through their conversation, Xiao Yue felt more and more distressed for the person in front of him.
It turned out that she had lived such a difficult life before entering the palace. If it were not for the help of Aunt Li, it would have been even more difficult for her to survive until now. This further proved that she was not a vain person.
Aunt Li was very hospitable and stayed with them for quite a while before letting them leave.
But before they stepped out of the yard, the big wolfhound that had entered the door did not stay quietly in its previous place, but ran out of the door and pounced on them.
Things happened suddenly and Xiao Yue stopped where he was.
The fear from his childhood surged out like a tide, as if to submerge him until he couldn't breathe.
He saw the girl standing in front of him and rushed forward...
"don't want……"
Xiao Yue's pupils dilated, and the feeling of losing a loved one came back to him. He clenched his fists, but did not dare to take a step.
Just this time...
He saw that the pink figure was not stained with blood, but rubbed against the fluffy fur, looking very warm.
The girl suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyes like glass met his gaze, and a bright smile appeared at the corners of her lips.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Yue was stunned.
She was fine… Her figure overlapped with hers, and as if across time and space, he saw that person was safe and sound.
Xiao Yue loosened his fist, his eyes slightly red, he clenched his teeth, trying not to let her notice anything unusual.
The girl stroked the wolfhound's head and seemed in a good mood: "Its name is Xiao Hui. It looks scary, but it's actually very well-behaved."
"It and Aunt Li are both my relatives and treat me very well."
Looking at the girl's beautiful smile, Xiao Yue couldn't help but relax a little. He was not as wary of the wolfdog as before, but he still felt a little repulsed.
Xiao Yue remembered the first time she held the puppy.
"You like dogs?"
Fei Wan paused, blinked, and smiled, "I'm naturally close to these animals. Even if it's the first time I see them, no matter what kind of animal it is, they will behave well in my hands."
Fei Wan narrowed her eyes and looked at the wolfhound under her command: "Don't you agree, Xiao Hui?"
The wolfhound seemed to understand what she said and rubbed her wrist with its chin.
Fei Wan turned around and looked at him: "Do you want to try it? It feels really good."
“No need…”
Before Xiao Yue could say no, Fei Wan pulled him without hesitation, and the wolfhound followed as if it understood human nature.
Xiao Yue wanted to shake her off, but somehow he touched the dog.
It was furry, and under the girl's guidance, it became less fierce and even a little cute.
The girl tilted her head to look at him, her eyes as clear as water and as bright as stars: "Isn't this great? Do you like it?"
The girl's warm fingers touched him, and the warmth passed through her fingertips, which was similar to but different from the feeling he had when he saw that she was safe and sound, until it filled his heart with a sense of peace.
"I like it very much."
He was stunned for a moment, then held her hand tightly again. He looked at her tenderly: "Are you willing to leave that place and be with me?"
