After eating, Bai Xin took him to a two-story attic built on the mountain behind the college. From the high building, he could see not only the crowds on the playground, but even the mottled lights of Songyang County.

The moon is at its zenith, the night sky is bright and filled with twinkling stars, and the bright moonlight is like a veil covering the pavilion.

"The starry sky here is very beautiful, right?" Bai Xin leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, exclaiming with joy.

Today, she was wearing a slim-fitting white long dress. Below the waist, the fluffy skirt was widened with embroidered flower-dot mesh to cover her feet. The bright moonlight sprinkled on her body, and the skirt seemed to be dotted with glittering silver light. Her black hair was all piled high on her head, and white silk flowers dotted with pearls were wrapped around her bun. In comparison, the stars were pale in comparison.

"Mm, very beautiful!"

Ye Qi stood beside her, looking at her with eyes as deep as the sea, as if he wanted to engrave her in his heart.

Bai Xin tightened his hands on the railing, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Ye Qi.

“Actually, I am…!”

"Would you like to be my stepsister?"

Before Bai Xin could finish his words, Ye Qi's voice followed.

Bai Xin was stunned and said "Ah?!" in confusion, then looked at him with an ambiguous look in an instant.

Ye Qi looked at her with deep and firm eyes: "Be my sister, and join my Ye family tree. From now on, my Ye family will protect you for the rest of your life!"

Bai Xin looked at him thoughtfully for a while, chuckled, and said jokingly, "It's not impossible, but the procedures may be a little troublesome."

After saying this, the smile in his eyes could not stop.

"I will let the elders take care of it, and it won't be a problem." Ye Qi looked at her and said affirmatively.

Bai Xin raised her eyebrows, bit her lip, nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's up to you!"

Seeing that she agreed, Ye Qi sighed dejectedly.

Bai Xin was speechless for a moment. He turned around and looked at the starry sky, wondering whether he should continue speaking.

"Are you already engaged?" Ye Qi continued to ask, his tone light but slightly sad.

It turned out to be the case.

"Well, yes!" Bai Xin turned to look at him and answered affirmatively.

"Are you happy with him?" Ye Qi's voice trembled slightly, but with a certain expectation.

Bai Xin looked at him deeply, handsome and proud, for a long time,

"Of course I like it!"

"Okay!" Ye Qi swallowed the sourness. Although his heart felt like a big piece was cut out, he made up his mind to protect him as well.

"Then I will choose a day and have someone get this done. You won't have to hide from me anymore!" Ye Qi looked at her and said.

Bai Xin looked at him helplessly. This man was so stupid.

If she really had someone else she loved and was engaged, she would still be so intimate with him and come up to the attic to watch the stars together!

She didn't want to say what was about to come out of her mouth, so she had to wait for two more days.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, I assumed she agreed.

Then he thought of something and continued talking to her.

"When we return to the city tomorrow, let Li Ze join our army and teach our soldiers the art of rock climbing, okay?" Ye Qi asked tentatively.

Bai Xin looked at him, a man who had always been domineering, but today for some reason he was so humble. She suddenly wanted to tease him.

"Of course, it's my honor to serve my brother!" Bai Xin glanced at him and said with a smile.

Ye Qi looked at her in surprise. It turned out that this was something he had decided on, and it was very irritating to hear.

It was already nightfall, and Bai Xin brought him down from the pavilion, arranged accommodation for everyone, set up tents and camp, and got busy. He didn't take the matter too seriously.

The next day, everyone went back to the capital, and she also returned to the clinic. Ever since the outbreak of the epidemic in Pingyang Town, and the plaque bestowed by His Majesty, more and more people came to see her, and she was so busy that she was dizzy.

Ye Qi did not send any message to recognize his adopted sister. However, on the second day after Li Ze returned to the city, he went to their camp with a rifle and taught the soldiers how to rock climb.

After finally getting an afternoon free, Bai Xin slumped in his chair, too tired to move.

"Princess!" Min'er came in hurriedly from the door, saw her, and shouted hurriedly.

"What's wrong?" Bai Xin sat up and saw how anxious she was, and asked worriedly.

"Ye'er sent someone to deliver a letter saying that our eldest prince will go to Kyoto to pay tribute to His Majesty and will arrive in Kyoto soon!"

Bai Xin sat up and asked, "Are you saying that my big brother, Wu Zhaochen, is coming to Kyoto?"

"Yeah!" Min'er nodded vigorously.

Yes, tribute is paid every three years, and it has been almost three years.

"His Highness will definitely go to the general's mansion to see the princess. Princess, isn't it time for you to reveal your identity to the general?" Min'er asked.

Bai Xin let out a light "tsk". This was a bit difficult to handle. The other person had just said that she was recognizing her as a sister, and now she was suddenly revealing her identity, which really made her look stupid.

"Well, let's talk about this after big brother comes. I think it will take big brother two or three days to enter the palace. If big brother comes to look for me then, let's see what the reaction is from the General's Mansion!" Bai Xin thought for a while and said.

It would be impossible to let Xier dress up as her at that time, so she had to go back to the villa. However, given Ye Qi's personality, it was possible that he would not go to the villa.

I'm afraid that when Wu Zhaochen finds out that she has been abandoned in the other courtyard for a few years, even if their Wu country is small and has little influence, Wu Zhaochen will go to the general's mansion to ask for something. If something goes wrong, she will have to come forward.

It seems that the secret can no longer be concealed.

"Then, I'll go back and tell Ye'er Xier and the others to get ready?" Min'er said.

"Well, don't panic. It's not a serious matter. I can handle it!" Bai Xin comforted.

"Well, Princess, we are of course not in a hurry. Your feelings for the general are growing stronger day by day. It is only a matter of time before you recognize each other. I believe the general has already been happy." Min'er teased.

"Xiao Min, you are getting bolder now. You dare to tease your princess?" Bai Xin stared at her and said, "I will punish you!"

As he said that, he was about to tickle her.

"Oh, Princess, spare me!" Seeing that she was about to come, Min'er quickly picked up her skirt and ran away.

After seeing Min Er leave, Bai Xin was also thinking about when to reveal his identity. He wondered how he would react after revealing his identity, would he be very surprised, or very shocked.

There is no way to escape it, no matter whether it is her as a person or her heart.

In fact, she had already convinced herself that it was time to drink and get drunk today, right?

He sighed and decided to make the best of it.

"Princess, are we going back to the villa today?" Min'er asked.

His Highness has already entered the palace and is now staying at the temporary palace. I think he will come to the general's mansion to look for you tomorrow.

"Well, let's go back overnight!" Bai Xin packed up the medical records in her hand. Thinking that the clinic might be suspended tomorrow, she arranged things for Chun Shang and the others in advance.

"Take the general's cloak back as well!" Bai Xin said to Min'er while packing.

"Yes!" Min'er smiled secretly. It seemed that the princess was planning to take it back and hand it directly to the general in the mansion.

By the time they had settled everything, it was already late, and they had arranged for the carriage. Although Li Ze was not there, he was often away from home, so the two of them were able to drive the carriage on their own.

"Princess, wait a moment. I left something at the clinic. I'll go get it and come back soon!" Min'er suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to take something. Thinking that she would not come tomorrow, she had to go back and get it.

"Well, go ahead, I'll wait here!"

Bai Xin said, and waited beside the carriage, admiring the moonlight by the lake.

"Girl, help me!"

Bai Xin suddenly heard an old woman calling for help not far away.
