Rebirth is not a dream.

Murong Xue rode her horse slowly to the gate of Murong Mansion in the capital. When the guard at the gate saw Murong Xue, he immediately came forward and helped her off the horse.

Murong Xue looked at the familiar gate of the mansion, and a feeling of intimacy surged in her heart. At this time, the housekeeper came out of the mansion and recognized Murong Xue at a glance. He asked in surprise: "Miss, why are you here? Does the master know?"

Murong Xue smiled and replied, "I came here by myself. Is my cousin at home?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "My cousin hasn't been at home recently. He went somewhere else to play with his friends."

Murong Xue frowned and asked with some disappointment: "Did my cousin say when he would be back?"

The housekeeper sighed and said, "This old servant doesn't really know! Miss, you should write a letter to the master first and tell him that you have arrived in the capital. I think the master must be worried at home. You leaving without saying goodbye will make him anxious."

Murong Xue nodded and said to the housekeeper with a smile: "I know, but I just miss my cousin. I asked my aunt, and it was my aunt who said that my cousin came to the capital. My aunt will tell my father. Clean up my yard first. Remember to tell me when my cousin comes back." After that, Murong Xue walked into the mansion.

Murong Xue is the eldest daughter of the Murong family, and the cousin she is talking about is her aunt's son, the famous Master Yuan Xi. Murong Xue has liked Master Yuan Xi since she was a child, but Yuan Xi is not too close to her and is indifferent to her. However, she likes him and always chases after Yuan Xi, but is always ignored. However, she doesn't know if it's because she gets more frustrated and more courageous, and always runs around with Yuan Xi. Everyone in the world doesn't know that Master Yuan Xi is Murong Xue's childhood sweetheart and cousin.

Murong Xue walked into her yard and saw that everything was still so familiar. She strolled in the courtyard, recalling the scenes when she and Yuan Xi played here together when they were young.

Suddenly, she heard a slight sound of footsteps. Murong Xue raised her head and saw a figure climbing over the wall.

"Cousin!" Murong Xue exclaimed in surprise.

Yuan Xi was slightly stunned, then smiled at Murong Xue, "So you are really here. I heard from my mother that you came to the capital, so I came to see you."

Murongxue's face flushed slightly. She walked to Yuan Xi and whispered, "Cousin, I miss you so much."

Yuan Xi's eyes flashed with an imperceptible fluctuation, but he quickly regained his composure, "Well, I miss my cousin too. What's the matter with coming to Beijing this time?"

Murong Xue bit her lip and trembled slightly. She seemed to muster up all her courage before she said, "Cousin, I... I want to be with you forever." There was a hint of determination in her eyes, but more of uneasiness and anticipation.

Master Yuan Xi looked at Murong Xue quietly, without much expression on his face. After a while, he slowly said, "Uncle is very worried about you, you'd better go home early." His voice was calm and gentle, as if he was stating a fact.

Murong Xue's eyes widened, tears welling up in her eyes. She couldn't believe that Master Yuan Xi would respond to her confession so coldly. She asked in a trembling voice, "Cousin, don't you like me at all?" Her heart was filled with despair and loss, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

Young Master Yuan Xi frowned and his tone became serious: "I treat you as my sister, and there is only family affection between us. Okay, stop making trouble, and go home when you have had enough fun." There was a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his words, as if he was annoyed by Murong Xue's entanglement.

Murong Xue stamped her feet in anger, her eyes full of anger and grievance. She shouted loudly: "Cousin, I don't care about you anymore!" Then she turned around and ran back to her room, threw herself on the bed, and burst into tears.

Her cries echoed in the room, filled with endless sadness and pain. Why didn't her cousin like her? She had liked her cousin since she was a child, and had dreamed of marrying him when she grew up. However, every time she confessed her love, he ruthlessly rejected her, and every time her hope was easily crushed by him. She felt that she could no longer bear such a blow, and she didn't know how to face this cruel reality.
