"How are you?" Chi Yue touched him cautiously. The demon species had extremely strong vitality and could not die.

Situ Shang's five senses had disappeared long ago. When the warm fingertips touched him, he felt as if he was alive again.

He tried to raise his stiff head and looked at Chi Yue, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Why are you here?"

The long period of cold made his voice almost hoarse and unpleasant.

"How long have you been kneeling?" Chi Yue asked worriedly.

Situ Shang opened his mouth, but found that he had forgotten the time long ago. Before he could think of anything, a whip was swung at him.

"I asked you to come here to accompany him in being punished. Who allowed you to chat?" Chi Suwu was thinking about what happened in the garden. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She took the whip and brought it back. As a result, she happened to see the two of them cuddling together.

Her face was twisted with jealousy. How could anyone like Chi Yue? Every time she saw Chi Yue's adorable face, she wanted to whip it to pieces.

But she had just tried it once, and her father, who had always loved her, scolded her. He said that Chi Yue was also a member of the Chi family, and she could bully her however she wanted, but she must not hurt her face.

When Chi Suwu thought of this, she was so angry that she whipped Chi Yue and cursed, "Shame on you!"

Seeing Chi Yue's face turn pale with pain, she felt better. She threw the whip into Lu'er's hand and pinched Chi Yue's chin: "You like him so much, how about I let Daddy marry you to him?"

Seeing the shock in Chi Yue's eyes, she burst into laughter and nodded to Situ Shang: "Look, she is just pretending to be affectionate to you. She doesn't even want to marry you."

Situ Shang's heart suddenly felt like being pricked by a needle. He was born to be trapped in the matter of living, without too many emotions and rarely paying attention to other things. But now he actually felt sad.

Sad, this word is too unfamiliar to him.

Seeing that he ignored her, Chi Suwu's smile faded. Today, the prince was coming back, so she had to dress up nicely. However, when she looked at Chi Yue's face, she gnashed her teeth with jealousy and pointed at a servant casually: "Keep an eye on them."

"Lu'er, let's go." A group of people left in a mighty manner.

The servant who stayed behind looked at Chi Yue in great embarrassment. It would be fine if he just stared at Situ Shang, but that monster's eyes always looked like he wanted to eat people. Only the eldest lady was kind-hearted and willing to help him.

But now the eldest lady was also kneeling here. He thought for a moment and quietly walked to Chi Yue's side: "Eldest lady, you get up first. Don't worry, I won't tell the second lady."

Chi Yue raised her head and happened to meet the eyes of the man who opened the door. Her intuition told her that this man was not a simple character. She always felt like she had seen him somewhere.

But the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Just because he had tricked Situ Shang and Chi Suwu in his previous life, she had a good impression of him.

Chi Yue shook her head and said softly, "I can't let you get involved. If my second sister finds out, you will be punished too."

Chi Yue's understanding and Chi Suwu's willful and capriciousness formed a sharp contrast. The servant sighed, wondering what the people in this mansion were thinking. They didn't love the well-educated and well-mannered eldest daughter, but instead doted on the stupid and dumb second daughter.

But he was just a servant, how could he dare to say such things.

The wooden door was slowly closed, and Chi Yue looked into his eyes. Her pair of peach blossom eyes, which could draw people in without them realizing it, seemed out of place on his face.

Pei Yan closed the wooden door, his heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest.

Chi Yue knelt here until dark. Her body had become completely stiff. If the servants had not been worried about her and brought her some hot water, she would have collapsed from exhaustion.

Looking at Situ Shang wearing only a single piece of clothing and shivering as he hugged his shoulders, Chi Yue reluctantly stuffed the hot water bottle into his arms.

Situ Shang looked at her in disbelief. He could see that she was much colder than he was.

Chi Yue wanted to smile, but she couldn't even raise the corners of her mouth. She could only reveal a smile that was uglier than crying. She rubbed her stiff cheeks and said, "I'm warm now, you can use it."

It wasn't warm at all. Her eyelashes were already covered with ice crystals, but she still forced herself to stay here with him. Why was she so nice to him?

In the past, Chi Yue had been good to him to the best of her ability, but why now?

He wanted to ask something else, but the woman had already turned around, rubbing her red, frozen hands, trying to warm herself up.

As the sky gradually darkened, Hua'er finally came back. She had been waiting for Chi Yue for a long time but to no avail. She finally began to get anxious and started looking everywhere.

It was unknown how long it had passed before she finally found Chi Yue. Seeing Chi Yue shivering, Hua Er hugged her distressedly: "Miss."

Hua'er's body was warm, and Chi Yue felt alive again: "Hua'er."

"The second young lady has gone too far this time. I will take you to see the master." Hua'er said as she was about to pull Chi Yue up.

Chi Yue did not stand up, but shook his head at her and whispered, "Daddy won't care."

At this moment, she was like an abandoned fawn. In the Chi family, they were all people in the same boat. No one cared about them, and no one would empathize with them.

Situ Shang touched his heart. He seemed to feel his heart beating just now. He looked at Chi Yue, and for the first time, he saw the reflection of a person in his eyes.

Hua'er was extremely anxious, but she knew that the young lady was telling the truth. As long as the master met the second young lady, his heart would have been distracted.

She knelt down angrily: "In this case, I will kneel with you."

Chi Yue hurriedly pulled her up, but the servant beside her had already turned his head away, pretending that he knew nothing.

A figure quietly fell down, blocking the moonlight above Chi Yue's head. Chi Yue raised her head and looked at him. It was Pei Yanchao.

Seeing the confusion in the woman's eyes, Pei Yanzhao gently stretched out his hand. Chi Yue didn't know what he wanted to do. A black air flashed across her brow.

Chi Yue opened her eyes again. The heavy snow had stopped, and the person in front of her had disappeared without a trace. She was still holding Hua'er.

No one around seemed to notice this at all. When the servant saw the two people arguing, he hurried forward to persuade them, "Miss, it's already daybreak, you should go back."

Hua'er also agreed: "Yes, Miss, please come back with me."

Chi Yue turned her head to look at Situ Shang: "Are you okay?"
