As soon as the Ji Da sounded, the daughter-in-law made a brilliant appearance!

All the beauties present were horrified, like wilted flowers.

The two people who did such a shocking thing seemed as if nothing had happened. Si Ruyue had a smile on her lips. She stood up, raised her sleeves and wiped the wine stains on Zhi Nian's face and clothes.

"This young master never fights with women."

Her smile contained a hint of puzzling calmness, which looked extremely strange.

"But if anyone dares to bully my Nian'er and I can't help it, hehe..."

"Wow!"

The laughter coming from behind Si Ruyue was really frightening, and before he could finish his words, everyone on the terrace dispersed.

"It's really strange. We didn't invite them just now, but they came here on their own to join in the fun. Now we haven't chased them away, hey! They seem to be running for their lives."

"Nian'er, you are still the best."

Later, Si Ruyue accompanied Zhi Nian to see a doctor and get some medicine. She took care of him attentively for the whole day until Zhi Nian's temperature dropped.

Si Ruyue's anxious heart finally settled down.

The system watched Si Ruyue leave:

Current mission target: Si Ruyue

Current love value: 70%

Current host's health status: 45%

It was a very dark, heavy and quiet night. Apart from the occasional sound of mice chirping, the dilapidated temple was almost silent.

Meow… meow…

Suddenly, a few strange cat meows were heard in the air, and then the meows grew louder and louder, one after another.

Zhi Nian tossed and turned, looking at the bright moon in the sky through the window of the dilapidated temple.

“Meow… meow… meow… meow… meow…”

The cat's cry became more and more shrill.

"Zhi Nian, if you can't sleep, go out and take a look at the wild cats!" Wang Pingping whispered while curled up in the quilt.

"Ok."

Zhi Nian thought for a moment and responded. She stood up, grabbed the broom by the wall and walked out of the ruined temple.

After leaving the temple, she followed the sound of the cat's cry, raised her head, and stood on tiptoe to look towards the top of the dilapidated temple.

"Wildcat, if you can't get any peace when you're old, don't blame me for bullying you."

Zhi Nian spoke out, hoping to scare the screaming wild cat on the roof.

"Meow meow……"

In an instant, the wild cry of the wild cat turned into the soft cry of a kitten.

"Shh, stop yelling, the sister inside is very fierce, you'd better behave yourself."

"Meow……"

Suddenly, a smiling face appeared from the eaves.

"Hey, you said that, I didn't say a word!"

"Sister? Why are you here?"

Si Ruyue's tender eyes looked at Zhi Nian carefully in the dark night. Seeing that the other party was now energetic, she thought that he must have recovered.

"Nian'er, you're not going to be frightened again when you see me coming, are you?"

Zhi Nian seemed to suddenly think of something, and she couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Good you! Sister, you're following me again!"

"However, compared to my beloved Nian'er..."

Si Ruyue did not answer. She lowered her head and looked in the direction of the temple gate, making a face.

"That guy inside is really not easy to mess with!"

"Nonsense, who is your Nian'er?" Zhi Nian raised the broom and pretended to wave it at her.

"It's terrible! My Nian'er has been led astray by that vicious woman!"

Si Ruyue dodged easily, reached out and grabbed the broom and Zhi Nian's hand with her backhand, and then pulled her and the broom onto the roof.

"what!"

Zhi Nian let out a low cry subconsciously.

Si Ruyue raised her hand to cover her mouth, "Speak softly, don't get caught."

Zhi Nian whimpered and tried to grab the broom, but the broom had been thrown aside and he couldn't reach it even if he stretched out his hand.

"Promise me you won't scream? Hmm? Nian'er?"

Zhi Nian looked at Si Ruyue with his watery eyes and nodded obediently.

Si Ruyue was satisfied now and smiled.

"Nian'er, you are such a well-behaved girl."

System voice broadcast:

Current mission target: Si Ruyue

Current love value: 75%

Current host's health status: 50%

Zhi Nian stopped struggling and looked at Si Ruyue.

In the night, the lines on Si Ruyue's face looked even gentler than during the day, and the inky halo in her eyes became hazy and more tender.

At this moment, she did not wear any makeup to beautify herself. Her beautiful face looked undecorated and slightly heroic.

When Si Ruyue approached Zhi Nian, a gentle breeze blew, and the hair on their ears became entangled in the night wind.

Zhi Nian blinked to confirm that this was not a dream.

The system looked at the host's world with a silly look, and whispered: Host, don't worry, this is not a dream, she is still here.

"Actually, I have something to ask you, but it's not convenient to tell you in front of outsiders."

Si Ruyue's words also explained the reason why she had been following Zhi Nian all the way.

"You know how much I admire Master Hanyu and his paintings."

"Although I understand that my painting skills are not even one ten-thousandth of the master's..."

Si Ruyue's face was filled with sincerity and her tone was full of humility. She also took out a scroll from her sleeve.

"But I still want you to give this practice work to Master Hanyu for evaluation to see if I am qualified to be his disciple."

Zhi Nian lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of the scroll in her hand.

"Nian'er, can you tell the master this for me?"

Si Ruyue asked, each word filled with tenderness.

Zhi Nian's face flushed, his heart lost its rhythm and shook violently.

"Nian'er?"

Si Ruyue also lowered her head and turned to look at Zhi Nian's expression hidden by her hair.

Zhi Nian nodded, pretending to be confused.

She pursed her lips, but still spoke tactfully, "Master Hanyu doesn't accept disciples."

Si Ruyue didn't think too much about it. She was very happy when she saw Zhi Nian nodded and agreed to help her hand over the painting to Master Hanyu.

"That's great, Nian'er, thank you. I knew you were the best to me! It doesn't matter, as long as you help me deliver it, I will be very satisfied."

"I've accepted the painting. Do you...have anything else to tell me?"

"Nian'er, you have to promise me! After the master's evaluation, you have to tell me every word he said."

"Yes, I promise you."

Si Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

"Now my future is in your hands!"

Zhi Nian felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He lowered his eyelashes in embarrassment and looked straight into her gaze.

When Si Ruyue thought that her paintings would soon be seen by Master Hanyu, she became more and more excited and almost forgot that she had to ask Zhi Nian to pass on the gift.

"Oh, yes, there is also this..."

Si Ruyue quickly took out a small bottle from her arms, the body of which was inlaid with a thin layer of gold enamel.

"I love the house and the dog. The wine in it is imported from the Western Regions. Please help me pass it on to..."

Zhi Nian didn't give her a chance to say anything. He quickly snatched the small wine bottle, pouted his lips and started to get jealous of the old man.

"You even spent time thinking about what my dad likes, so why don't you ask me what I like?"

Si Ruyue was stunned for a moment and was in a dilemma.

She likes him very much, Nian'er is right, but she likes Master Hanyu more.

That's why she forgot to prepare a gift for Nian'er. Si Ruyue felt upset and wondered why she forgot about it.

Damn her!
