Before He Yan could speak, Xiao Jue glanced at her, turned around and left.

Before the lamp was taken down, He Yan didn't care about it and quickly pushed away the crowd and followed. The craftsman behind him was stunned and called her: "Girl, you forgot to take your lamp!"

But there was no response.

He Xinying also heard the craftsman's shouts, and subconsciously followed the craftsman's gaze and saw a familiar back leaving hurriedly.

She was stunned. Her back looked like the one who met Wu'an Hou Heyan in Yuhua Temple before.

For some reason, she and He Yan only met each other, but the impression was particularly deep. Xu Zhiheng beside her asked her: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." He Xinying came to his senses, "Let's look at the lights." He felt a little nervous.

Since marrying Xu Zhiheng, whenever she has time, Xu Zhiheng will accompany her to the night market. Xu Zhiheng has been busy with official business these days and has not come for two months. Yesterday, she returned to the Xu family, and Xu Zhiheng proposed to accompany her for a while. If it were the past, He Xinying would have been very happy, but now she is walking by Xu Zhiheng, but she is no longer excited and even a little nervous.

My mother's illness, the assassin that night, and the military books hidden in the bedpost of the elder sister's death were enough to make people suspicious. But she could not do anything and had to pretend to be ignorant.

She stared at the lanterns in front of her, but the back that had left was just now appeared in her mind, with a lot of worries.

...

The crowd was crowded, and He Yan finally grabbed Xiao Jue's sleeve and said, "Let's go slowly. There are so many people here. I will look for you for a long time if I get separated. I was stepped on several feet just now."

He just walked forward and didn't look back, but he finally slowed down a little.

In the crowd coming and going, He Yan used the strength to throw a stone lock to clench his sleeves, almost tearing Xiao Jue's sleeves, and finally walked outside the crowd, along the river.

"Xiao Jue," He Yan stared at him and asked, "Are you angry?"

Xiao Jue didn't say anything.

He turned his head, and He Yan couldn't see his expression clearly, so he stood on tiptoe and approached him to see clearly. Xiao Jue blocked his arm and pushed He Yan away from him.

"Are you really angry?" He Yan said: "I just just..."

"He Yan," Xiao Jue interrupted her and looked at her with a slight voice, "Are you..."

He Yan looked at him.

"I haven't had any feelings for Xu Zhiheng?"

"Cough cough--" She coughed with choking.

"Stop joking!" He Yan denied, "You don't know what he did. How could I have no love for him?"

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows and his eyes were sharp, "That is, there was ever a 'love' in the past?"

He Yan almost came up in one breath, and was stunned by Xiao Jue's question. No matter how she answered this question, it seemed that no matter how she answered it, she stumbled for a while, He Yan whispered: "It didn't happen either."

Xiao Jue looked down at her with a expressionless face. He Yan felt guilty when he was seen. He carefully lie: "You know, my parents' orders and matchmakers' words. I had no right to choose in my previous life. After changing my identity with He Rufei, he naturally said whatever his family said... The He family arranged for me to marry Xu Zhiheng, and I got married. I had no... no love."

He Yan felt guilty about being discovered by her husband, and she felt a headache. She just looked at Xu Zhiheng more under the lantern, but who knew that she would cause such a big trouble. But in this way, it seemed that she was more insulting. After all, Xiao Jue had never had any other girl before her.

"But I heard that you were very happy when you married Xu Zhiheng." He looked at the river water under the fence, his eyes calm.

He Yan was shocked: "Who said it? I am so traitorous about me!"

Xiao Jue glanced at her faintly, He Yan froze for a moment, drooping his head, "Okay, I didn't know he was such a person before, and he had... a little bit." She compared a little bit with her little finger to her thumb, "It's just a little bit, the ant is big, and she stepped to death with one foot."

Xiao Jue was angry and laughed lazy, saying, "Then tell me, why do you like him? Even if you don't know who he is, your eyes are," he looked at He Yan, "it's much lower than ordinary people."

Is he scolding Xu Zhiheng or himself? He Yanxin said, "I don't think that it's really hard to coax the young master when he really gets angry." Why do you want to ask such an embarrassing question is like using a knife to sway people. But the eyes of the person in front of her are always staring at her, and her beautiful eyes are full of scrutiny.

He Yan sighed: "At that time, I just thought this person was pretty good."

Xiao Jue smiled and sarcastic.

"Do you remember the time when you secretly sent me a rabbit in Dongshan? "He Yan asked.

"Um."

"In order to make the emperor happy, the gentlemen in Xianchang Pavilion competed with each other and set rules that if they did not hunt prey, they would not be able to eat and would be hungry for a whole day."

He Yan still felt indignant when he thought about it now, "The people who set this rule were simply sick. Death prisoners even gave him a full meal, but they did not have the prey in hunting, so they were punished such an inhumane punishment... Although you gave me a rabbit that day, I let me go and I didn't hunt any prey."

If it was okay in summer, it would be very uncomfortable to be hungry on heavy snow. When he finished hunting, He Yan looked at the young men who returned home in groups of three or three, and felt very uncomfortable.

It was at that time that she met Xu Zhiheng.

At that time, Xu Zhiheng was just a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a blue shirt and looking handsome and gentle. He Yan walked to the place where he put his bags hungry. The snow was deep on the ground. She went to the hunting ground in the morning until it was getting dark. She was so weak that she didn't care that a stone was buried in the snow. She accidentally kicked it up, staggered, and half of her body threw herself into the snow, but she didn't get up for a long time.

Just as she was flapping in the snow, suddenly, a voice came from the front: "Are you okay?"

He Yan raised his head and saw a young man in green.

This young man looks pretty, probably not a student from Xianchang Pavilion. However, today, students from other schools participated in hunting together. It is estimated that they were students from other schools.

He Yan was still in a daze, but the boy smiled and directly reached out to grab her hand and said, "I'll help you." He pulled her up from the snow.

She was wearing a mask on her face, which was cold, but the boy's hands were very warm.

"My name is Xu Zhiheng. Brother Tai is a member of Xianchang Pavilion?"

He Yan nodded randomly.

"I heard that the rules of Xianchang Pavilion are very strict. If you don't hunt prey today, you will be hungry." Xu Zhiheng looked at her empty hands, "It's a pity that I didn't go hunting, otherwise I could divide the prey into you."

She was also introverted in the Xianchang Pavilion and had never had any friends. Because of her mask, others thought she was quite unsociable and too lazy to get close to her. This was the first time she met such a warm-hearted person. She didn't know what to say for a while.

"You want to go there to get your bag?" Xu Zhiheng asked: "I'll help you? It's obvious that you can't even walk."

He Yan was about to say no, but as soon as he raised his foot, he felt that the ankle was hurting severely. It seemed that he had just twisted it. Thinking of this, he nodded slightly to the young man and said shyly: "Thank you." He pointed to the red bag again, "That's mine."

Xu Zhiheng turned around and helped He Yan get the bag on the high platform. After he got the bag back, he delivered it to He Yan. He then helped her to the carriage where the students of Xianchang Pavilion were sitting before leaving.

At that time, He Yan looked at Xu Zhiheng's back and felt that the boy was really warm and considerate.

When he returned to Xianchang Pavilion, he really had no food to eat. He Yan hid in the house alone and poured some hot tea for himself. The more he drank, the more he felt hungry, and his stomach kept rumbling.

But what can I do? The rules of Xianchang Pavilion are the strictest. Besides, she was really not hunting anything. If she really wanted to go, she couldn't hold her face down. After sitting for a while, He Yan sighed helplessly, took the bag over, and prepared to put the paper and pen she brought in during the day. As soon as she opened the bag, two yellow loquats rolled out from it.

How can there be loquats at this time?

He Yan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously picked up the loquat. The loquat was big and heavy, and could vaguely smell the fragrance. The bag was always placed on the high platform. When hunting, the students only brought quivering and arrows to make it light. After thinking about it, the only one who had touched the bag was the young man in green named Xu Zhiheng.

She peeled the loquat and tasted it a little bit. The fruit was sweet. When she remembered the boy's face and smile just now, she felt that today's luck was actually not too bad.

A few years later, when He Yan returned from the battlefield and exchanged his identity with He Rufei, when Mrs. He told her that she had a marriage for her and the other party's name was Xu Zhiheng, He Yan was not only surprised but also a little bit of joy. The women in the He family always paved the way for men. Compared to marrying a stranger who had never been masked, marrying Xu Zhiheng is obviously the best one among all her choices.

No matter how people outside praise Mr. Xu for his youthful and promising, He Yan felt that Xu Zhiheng, who was in his teens, could take care of the people he met so much, and he must be a good person. At that time, she actually had many expectations for this marriage. Even though Xu Zhiheng favored He Wanru, He Wanru always showed off his power in front of her, but with the two loquats he was young, He Yan had some fantasies about Xu Zhiheng.

Until he was blind, until Xu Zhiheng broke this fantasy bit by bit with his own hands.

"So," Xiao Jue said: "You like him just for two loquats?"

"That's right." He Yan said: "I just think that he can take care of others' moods in this way and see through the embarrassing situations of others, at least he is a good person."

"Your likes is really casual." Xiao Jue sneered, walked forward, took two steps, stopped again, and said coldly: "I gave those two loquats."

He Yan was stunned.

He had already continued to walk to the river. He Yan was stunned for a moment, and caught up with him a few steps, grabbed his sleeve, "How is it possible? Are you lying to me?"

Xiao Jue looked down at her, his eyes calm.

Lin Shuanghe proposed to give it to He Yan's rabbit, but he was so upset that he ejaculated one, but He Yan released the rabbit. Because he thought of his experience on the mountain when he was young, he treated this boy who seemed to have no strengths. He also knew that students who had never hunted prey today would be hungry for a day when they returned to Xianchang Hall.

Xiao Jue, the number one in the hunt, received a lot of rewards. The people in the palace even gave him imperial food, and there were two loquats inside.

Loquats at this time are not something you can eat everywhere. He was not interested in this sweet fruit. Before leaving, he passed by the high platform and caught a glimpse of the red bag placed in the corner. He vaguely remembered that the bag seemed to be "He Ru Fei".

The boy didn't hunt anything today, and he was hungry all night after he went back. It was winter again, so it was probably difficult to bear. He looked at the imperial food basket in his hand, and thought that when he first met "He Rufei", he saw this guy standing under the loquat tree in the school hall, jumping up and trying to pick loquats. It was extremely funny. After thinking about it, he stopped, took out the two loquats from the food basket, and stuffed them into the red bag.

He Yan stammered: "No, right? It was really what you gave it to?"

Xiao Jue looked at her quietly.

He Yan thought to himself, it’s over, it’s like Xiao Jue did a good deed and was intercepted by Xu Zhiheng. By chance, how can he feel comfortable? But at this critical moment, how can he calm his anger?

"Today is your birthday. I forgot to take the lamp just now. What gift do you want..." She clumsyly moved away the conversation and saw someone selling candied haws on the street opposite, and said, "You wait." She rushed over, bought a bunch of candied haws, ran back, and handed them to Xiao Jue: "Give it to you!"

Xiao Jue turned his head.

He might be really angry.

He Yan was in trouble. The past things could no longer be saved. She had indeed been moved by Xu Zhiheng and married Xu Zhiheng, but Xiao Jue did not. She had never experienced Xiao Jue's mood at the moment, but she knew very well that the feeling might not be very good.

He Yan surrounded him, "Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue?"

Xiao Jue avoided her gaze and only looked at the gurgling river water under the railing.

At some point, it was snowing all over the world, and snow particles fell on her body, far away from the crowd at the night market, and He Yan finally felt cold. He suddenly remembered what Qingmei said to her before leaving.

He Yan glanced at Xiao Jue, but the man still didn't look at her. She sneezes exaggeratedly, and said to herself: "It's so cold."

The next moment, warmth fell from the sky. Xiao Jue turned around, took off his cloak and covered her, and finally turned around and looked at her.

He Yan quickly beat the snake and followed the stick and rushed forward to him, "Isn't you angry?"

Xiao Jue helped her tie the rope in front of her cloak, but ignored her.

His cloak was very big, and he almost caged He Yan in. He Yan was afraid that he would be cold, so he leaned close to Xiao Jue, as if he was drunk that night, he was almost pressed against him. She raised her head and teased Xiao Jue, "Governor Xiao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't recognize the wrong person. Today is your birthday, don't be angry, laugh? If you don't want to laugh... take a bite of candied haws?"

She held the candied haws and leaned against Xiao Jue's lips, and suddenly, her hands were grabbed.

He Yan was stunned, subconsciously raised his head and faced his shimmering black eyes.

The young man's facial features faded when he was young last year, like the moonlight on the snowy mountain, with clear and clean outlines, beautiful and flawless jade.
