The two sat down on the spot and opened their bottles of wine: "Come on, bottoms up."

The two exchanged a glance, then tilted their heads back and gulped down a large mouthful.

Lin Jiuqing exhaled and said with a smile, "It's been so long since I've had a drink, I've almost forgotten what it tastes like."

"His Majesty protects you like the apple of his eye, and you have special people to take care of your food and drink. It would be strange if you were allowed to have a sip of wine," Yang Yuheng said leisurely.

Lin Jiuqing: "He was doing it for my own good."

"nature."

After a moment of silence, Yang Yuheng said, "Actually, I was not optimistic about you guys at first, but now I have to admit that I misjudged you."

Mo Xiao's feelings for Lin Jiuqing are genuine.

Lin Jiuqing simply smiled and took a sip of wine without saying a word.

Yang Yuheng said no more and tilted his head back to drink.

The two chatted casually until the wine jar was empty.

Yang Yuheng's eyes had reddened without him realizing it.

He tilted his head back and gulped down the last mouthful of wine, then turned to look at Lin Jiuqing beside him: "I have a favor to ask of you, as a friend."

Lin Jiuqing turned her head to look at him: "You say it."

"I'm going to the border with Chen Yuan. You... please take good care of A-Zheng for me." Yang Yuheng said to Lin Jiuqing, his eyes red. "Am I being too shameless?"

Lin Jiuqing smiled and punched Yang Yuheng on the shoulder: "Between friends, there's no need for many words."

“Actually, even if you hadn’t said it, I would have guessed it,” Lin Jiuqing sighed. “A Yuan… suffered a lot when she was young, and her upbringing was different from most people’s, which shaped her personality as it is today. As her older sister, I can’t persuade her, so I can only selfishly hope that you will be more understanding.”

"At the same time, as a friend, I am grateful for your care during those days, but I have not been able to do anything for you. Now that you have taken the initiative to ask me for help, I am actually very happy."

“Ah Zheng, you don’t need to worry. I will love her as my own daughter.”

Yang Yuheng rarely heard her say so much at once.

These words, however, struck a chord deep within him.

Yang Yuheng laughed along, "Don't worry, I feel completely at ease having Azheng by your side."

Then, looking at Lin Jiuqing, he said very seriously, "The thing I regret least in my life is being friends with you."

Lin Jiuqing: "Me too."

Whether in her past life or this life, she has no regrets about being friends with Yang Yuheng.

The two sat on the floor, leaning against the bookshelf behind them, with several wine jars piled up haphazardly around them.

They talked a lot, about their first meeting, about the old Fengyu Tower, and even about Tang Xiuyan...

In the end, neither of them even knew when they fell asleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Yang Yuheng suddenly woke up with a start. He vaguely saw someone walk in, then bend down and pick up Lin Jiuqing from the ground.

Yang Yuheng: "Sigh..."

“Shh,” the man gestured for him to be quiet, and whispered, “Don’t wake her.”

Yang Yuheng jolted awake again, completely sober.

The person before me is Mo Xiao.

The two looked at each other, Mo Xiao smiled at him, then turned and walked away with the person in his arms.

Yang Yuheng watched this scene in a daze, as if he had returned to a long, long time ago... Back then, Mo Xiao had also taken Lin Jiuqing away right under his nose.

Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Haven't you seen enough yet?"

Yang Yuheng snapped out of his daze and saw Chen Yuan leaning against the bookshelf, frowning as she looked at him.

Yang Yuheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, stood up and walked towards Chen Yuan: "I've seen enough."
