The bright sun hangs on the horizon, almost overnight, the treetops are full of new greenery, and tender green grass has sprouted from the ground. The wind blowing against my face is soft and gentle, carrying the unique vitality of spring.

  After class, Teacher Li whispered to Zhang Qi as he passed by, "Im afraid its not going to work out for you to get a few more points."

  Zhang Qi hastily replied in a low voice: "It doesnt matter anyway, Im tired and Teacher Ah Qi is worried about me."

  Mr. Li nodded and said no more, turning to leave.

  Zhang Qi also walked out.

  Just as she was sitting in the woods, waiting for her next class, she saw a group of girls surrounding the teacher, talking about something, and then the teacher waved his hand, and the girls burst out laughing, bowing to the teacher in disarray, and scattering.

  Zhang Qi slowly followed behind, walking towards her own room. From the idle chatter of the girls just now, it could be heard that an envoy had come to Jiankang, and they were worried that it was Wang Guangling who had arrived.

  In the corridor outside the room, Zhang Gui saw from afar that Ah Lu and several maids were huddled together, chatting animatedly. Seeing him arrive, she waved her hand excitedly and continued to chat idly, without any intention of approaching him.

  This girl!

  Zhang Qi smiled and turned to enter the room. The maids who were chatting with A Lu looked stunned, but after a while they thought: This young lady was originally a lowly born country girl, treating her own maid as an equal was typical of someone from her background.

  Zhang Qi sat in the house, continuing to embroider the work in her hands. She had embroidered for less than half a time when suddenly a cheer came from outside. The cheering started far away, but gradually got louder and clearer, until later, the shouting was so loud that Zhang Qi couldnt continue embroidering.

  She put down her needlework and opened the door to look outside.

  The sky outside was a brilliant blue, crystal clear, just like that year when she and her husband escaped to the north hand in hand.

  She shook her head and thought to herself: This memory doesnt make sense either, its always appearing in fragments like this.

  Outside, Ah Lu had long since disappeared. The noise outside grew even louder, as if the whole city was cheering. Suddenly, Zhang Qi felt a deep sense of loneliness.

  She locked the door and walked out along the shaded path.

  As she walked, she saw the side door less than two hundred meters away. At this moment, there were also many people blocking the side door, looking at the gatekeeper who was looking around at the entrance, Zhang Qi hesitated for a moment and still stepped forward.

  He had just walked less than fifty steps when a haughty voice suddenly came, "Is this a place you can come to?"

  The voice was familiar, and without turning her head, Zhang Qi knew it was Zhang Jin speaking.

  Zhang Qi turned her head back.

  She smiled at Zhang Jin, as well as the two girls accompanying him, and said in a soft yet refined tone: "Sister Jin, Mother never said I couldnt come here."

  Kindly telling her the matter, before Zhang Jin could react, Zhang Qi bowed to her and said warmly: "However, Ah Jin is my sister, since Sister has said so, I will follow suit."

  Having said that, Zhang Gui bowed again towards Zhang Jin and turned around to walk away.

  Zhang Jin hummed heavily and was about to say something, but his eyes darted to the side and he quickly closed his mouth. He leaned forward with a delighted cry: "Xiao Lang!"

  Xiao Mo is coming?

  Zhang Qi was taken aback and hastily turned around.

  Facing Zhang Jins joyful smile, Xiao Mos expression was lukewarm. He glanced at Zhang Jin and ignored her, instead turning his head to look at Zhang Qi who had turned around to gaze back at him.

  At this moment, Zhang Qi was trying to calm herself down, but her eyebrows and eyes revealed a kind of expectation. Her tender face, under the cover of the pale green clouds behind her, seemed to have brightened up a bit... This little girl, although she was only delicate, yet every time she saw her, people felt that she looked even more beautiful. Especially at certain times when looking at her, one would feel that this delicate little girl exuded an extremely enticing charm.

  Its really a strange feeling.

  Xiao Mo carelessly withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Zhang Jin and the others, and smiled: "Its lively outside, lets go take a look together." He glanced over at Zhang Qi, and exclaimed: "What are you doing walking back and forth? Its rare for it to be so lively, come take a look with us too."

  As soon as his voice fell, Zhang Jins lips tightened. However, in the blink of an eye, she smiled and waved her hand warmly at Zhang Qi, calling out: "Qi, lets go together."

  Zhang Qi nodded and followed them out the door.

  Zhang Jin hadnt seen Xiao Mo for several days, and now that she saw him, her heart was filled with endless joy. She walked quietly to his side and said softly, "Xiao Lang, why did you come to our estate at this time?" As soon as she said this, she felt that her words were not quite right, so she quickly added, "I didnt mean it like that, I meant...youve come at a good time..." Suddenly, she felt that she had spoken too directly and was about to reveal her true thoughts. At this moment, she was both shy and flustered, unable to do anything with her hands or feet, not knowing what to do.

  Xiao Mo lowered his head, glanced at Zhang Jin faintly, then raised his head to look outside and said slowly: "You dont like Ah Qie, do you?" In Zhang Jins stunned expression, he continued: "Why did you drive her away just now?"

  Zhang Jins face turned pale.

  Xiao Mo bowed his head again to look at her. As he met her infatuated gaze, suddenly, he leaned in close, his lips brushing against her ear like a spring breeze. "You like me, so youre not on good terms with Ah Qi? Foolish child, as the future mistress of the house, how can you be so petty?" His low and melodious voice was like a gentle stream flowing into Zhang Jins heart, while the unique masculine scent wrapped around her soul like a spring breeze. Unbeknownst to herself, Zhang Jins face had already turned bright red, and her dazed eyes seemed to be brimming with tears as she gazed back at him.

  At that time, she didnt notice at all. The place they were in was not just a public area? Inside and outside the mansion, how many eyes were looking in this direction?

  Xiao Mo stood up straight, his handsome face still wore a smile as refreshing as the spring breeze, and his clear eyes were still warm and sincere. Looking at him, Zhang Jin couldnt help but glance at Zhang Gui who was blushing with joy due to Xiao Mos sudden approach. Zhang Gui thought: But, isnt Xiao Mo now the person favored by the princess? And didnt the madam just say those words? Why is Zhang Jin so happy about it? Doesnt she know that Xiao Mo cant easily get engaged now? And isnt she afraid of the madams wrath?

  Before she knew it, she thought again: I wonder if Xiao Mo has thought of this point?
