Li Huaijin untied her skirt, lifted her up slightly, took off her coat, and held her trembling fingers. The boy's warm breath brushed her cheek:

"Don't be afraid"

He flicked his sleeves slightly, and the candlelight behind the screen dimmed, leaving the tent in complete darkness.

Mu Jinan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his figure in the darkness. He was looking down at her, as if from head to toe. It was blurry and unclear what the look was.

She stretched her legs and legs, exerting strength, thinking to herself: "What is he looking at? Why is he not... so cold"

Then he asked in a trembling voice:

"You..you..why don't you speak?"

Li Huaijin pinched her in the dark, slowly lay down beside her, and quickly covered her with a quilt. It would be bad if she caught a cold in such a cold day.

"What are you nervous about?"

Mu Jinan's soft voice: "I'm scared...I was the one who fainted last time and you stole...I'm sober this time, how can I not be scared?"

Li Huaijin poked her head in the dark:

"How can I sleep without taking off my coat? Don't think too much."

He held her in his arms, and the boy's warm chest made her feel inexplicably at ease. She put her fingers around his waist and could vaguely feel his muscles.

She rubbed her forehead against his chest and leaned close to him.

The boy's heavy and hot breathing sounded above his head:

“But don’t move anymore.”

He hugged her body, feeling the girl's softness and fragrance, and gently kissed her forehead in the dark night.

He lifted her up again, but Mu Jinan shrank back to his chest again:

"I like to hear your heartbeat"

Li Huaijin had no way to deal with her. He endured the deep and aggressive eyes in the darkness again and again. He could not endure it any longer, so he endured it again and again, and asked:

"What do you want to eat? I'll have someone go to the herdsman's house to exchange it for you tomorrow."

Mu Jinan leaned against his chest, his heart rose and fell, and she said in a sweet voice:

"I want to eat maltose and candied fruit."

Li Huaijin said softly: "Yes, but eat less, otherwise you will get cavities."

"Tomorrow morning, we will build a snowman. By noon, King Qi and Shi Siming may be here."

Mu Jinan recalled how excited Gu Wenxuan was when he saw him today, but he was not familiar with him in Chang'an before:

"Gu Wenxuan..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Huaijin remembered that she was going to bring Gu Wenxuan back to the king's tent today. He was jealous and hugged her arm forcefully:

"Why did you mention him? Do you want to keep a concubine? Does he look like him, and is he worthy of being your concubine?"

Mu Jinan hunched his shoulders, struggled a few times, and rubbed his chest again:

"Jealous girl, I'll call you Li Cucu from now on"

Li Huaijin touched her hair and leaned in to smell the fragrance of gardenia on her hair:

"This name is a bit girly, change it."

Mu Jinan didn't know that a man's chest could be so warm. It was so comfortable to have a warm bed in winter. The fire behind the screen didn't seem to be as warm as him. She said in a pleasant voice:

"Shuofengyue, this name is also quite nice. It is your nickname Shuofeng and my nickname Taoyue. This poem is a bit sad."

"The north wind blows away the snow at midnight, but the beautiful soul still lingers on the peach blossom moon"

Although her hand was through his clothes, he was almost furious and had no intention of pondering over this sentence. As long as she was by his side, this poem was a beautiful artistic conception.

The boy's chest became increasingly hot. He held her wrist and his clear voice suddenly became deep and heavy:

"It's not cold, it's quite hot... Call me husband... Husband, or hubby, or call me brother... Cousin Huaijin... Call me whatever you want, I want to hear it all"

Mu Jinan pinched his muscles with her cold fingers. She liked to curl up her knees when she slept, so she leaned against him to warm herself up. For some reason, she felt cold all over this month.

She thought again, why is he so frivolous? What a mess of names. In the dark night, she could only hear her disgusted voice:

"It's disgusting. I can't scream if I don't scream."

Mu Jinan only felt his body shrink back, and thinking that he was angry, she snuggled into his arms.

Li Huaijin bit his lips lightly, her knees just touching... How could she be so attractive, her skin exuded fragrance, soft and tender, he tried to hold it in, he said with a heavy breath:

"Jin'an, stop moving, I beg you."

Then he let go of her arms and turned over to lie on his side with his back facing her. In the dark night, the boy's fiery eyes flashed like a beast that wanted to devour and possess her completely, and his brows were furrowed.

Mu Jinan quieted down, thinking that he was sleepy. Holding him like this would disturb his sleep. All she could see was his back, which was as solid as a wall. She murmured:

"Then go to sleep. Tell me more about Gu Wenxuan tomorrow."

Li Huaijin only said one word: "Hmm"

Mu Jinan felt that his voice didn't sound right, but he didn't ask any further questions. After a while, he fell into a sweet dream.

Li Huaijin listened to her sleeping sound, turned around carefully, took a long breath, and muttered in his heart:

"Will I get sick if I hold it in like this? When the time comes, it won't have any impact, right?"

"I'll still sleep on the floor tomorrow. I'm going to get sick from holding it in for so long. How am I going to give birth to a baby?"

He gently twisted her hair with his fingertips, held her in his arms, and muttered:

"Jin'an, this night was like a dream. I was able to sleep on the couch with my arms around you, and you didn't scold me or kick me..."

It seemed that if she only needed to say a word, smile, or act coquettishly to him, he would be as happy as if he had found a treasure.

On the day when Hu Yulou coaxed him to drink, he told the girl in front of him that it was she who made peach blossoms bloom in a pool of stagnant water, and the peach forest was deep and the spring breeze was strong.

The girl was very confused. Peach flowers grow on branches and their roots are deep in the soil. How can they bloom in water?

The young man knew it was impossible to do it, but he still did it.

"Now, peach blossoms are mine"

She heard it clearly, and suddenly responded to him: "Well, it will always be yours."

In the dark night, the two smiled at each other, their minds connected.

...

The cold wind howled wildly outside the tent, and it didn't seem to stop until dawn the next day.

Meiluo came to the king's tent to serve Mu Jinan and got up. Fanshu brought a few plates of food and just lifted the tent curtain.

Shuo Fengyue had put on a mask that only covered half of his face, leaving his eyes exposed. He was tying Mu Jinan's skirt.

They opened their mouths in shock and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness Prince Liang"

Li Huaijin raised his hand: "Get up"

Sweet Potato Berry lowered her head and giggled at the side. Seeing that Mu Jinan finally smiled, she quickly set the table and the dishes were ready. After they finished their breakfast,

Mu Jinan admired the clear and transparent snow fox mask. The edge was outlined with gold thread. He looked noble and mysterious when wearing it, like a god who could not be desecrated. She put her arms around his neck:

"I bought this mask on the way to Raole. It fits you perfectly."

"If I had known I would have bought a few more masks so you could change them up."

Li Huaijin poked her between the eyebrows. Now all his money was in her hands, and the token was also in her hands. He had to be very attentive and serve her well. If he was not careful, she would not want him anymore, and he would have to beg for food.

"When will you make me a new dress? I want a jade-green one."

Mu Jinan puffed up her cheeks, her face flushed from too much rouge, and she smiled wickedly: "It will be soon, just wait"
