The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming spots of light on the street.

Wei Lang and Chen Jia walked hand in hand into a lively pub, which was filled with the aroma of food and the laughter of people.

They found a quiet corner and sat down. Wei Lang gently pulled out a chair for Chen Jia. After Chen Jia sat down, he slowly sat down opposite her.

Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes.

Wei Lang picked up a piece of fresh fish, carefully removed the fish bones and put it into Chen Jia's bowl, his eyes full of love.

"Jia'er, eat more. You've suffered a lot these days."

Chen Jia looked at Wei Lang with a happy smile on her face, and she nodded gently.

"The misunderstanding has been resolved and I am enjoying my meal."

The two of them chatted and laughed, as if the previous conflicts and twists and turns had never existed. They regained the precious feelings between each other and reconciled.

Just as they were enjoying this warm moment, Huan Yi hurriedly walked into the tavern.

His eyes scanned the tavern and soon locked onto Wei Lang and Chen Jia.

He walked quickly to their table, a look of slight guilt on his face.

Huan Yi bowed slightly and said, "Brother Wei, General Chen, I have come here specially to apologize to you two on behalf of my sister. My sister was young and ignorant, and she did some impulsive things, which caused you a lot of trouble."

Chen Jia heard this, waved his hand, and said generously: "Master Huan, there is no need to be so, this is all in the past. I won't take it to heart. Your sister is still young, I will teach her slowly in the future."

Huan Yi looked at Chen Jia gratefully and said, "General Chen is indeed a generous man. I thank you on behalf of my sister."

After eating and drinking, Wei Lang escorted Chen Jia home. Along the way, the moonlight sprinkled on them like water, stretching their shadows long.

The night sky is full of twinkling stars and the breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

Arriving at Chen Jia's door, Wei Lang reluctantly held Chen Jia's hand and said softly, "Jia'er, have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Chen Jia blushed and nodded.

As soon as Chen Jia walked into the yard, Chen Jue came to meet her.

He frowned and asked anxiously, "Sister, what happened during the time you disappeared? Do you know how worried I am about you?"

Chen Jia looked at her brother's concerned expression and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She patted Chen Jue's shoulder gently and said softly: "Jue, sister is fine, don't worry too much. Some things did happen during this period, but they are all in the past."

At this time, a few dark clouds floated in the sky, as if foreshadowing that a storm was about to come.

Chen Jue was relentless and said anxiously, "Sister, can't you tell me what happened? I've been worried about you all day, but I don't know anything. This feeling is really too uncomfortable."

"Some things are very complicated and hard to explain at once, but they have all been resolved now. Don't worry, sister won't make you worry anymore."

"Emotional ups and downs? Is it related to Wei Lang? Sister, what happened between you and him?"

"There were some misunderstandings between us, but they have been resolved now. Weilang treats me very well, you don't have to worry."

At this moment, a breeze blew by, blowing down a few leaves, as if it was also happy for their reconciliation.

Chen Jue was still a little worried and said, "Sister, you must be careful. Although Wei Lang looks good, he is from the Wei family after all. The Wei family has a huge influence in the capital. Will they cause you trouble?"

Chen Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry. Wei Lang has his own ideas and responsibilities. He won't let me get hurt. Besides, the Wei family is not an unreasonable family. We will face future challenges together."

Chen Jue looked at her sister's determined eyes and knew that it would be useless to say more.

He said helplessly: "Okay, sister, since you said so, I will believe you. But you must promise me that you must tell me if there is anything in the future, and don't let me worry so much anymore."

Chen Jia nodded and said, "Okay, sister promises you."

Chen Jia walked into her room, sat in front of the window, looked at the bright moon outside, and her thoughts drifted away.

She recalled every little detail between her and Wei Lang, and the ups and downs they had experienced together.

She knew that although the road ahead was still full of unknowns, as long as Wei Lang was by her side, she would have the courage to face everything.

Chen Jue didn't know how long he had been drinking in the wine cellar. His consciousness gradually became blurred, but the waves in his heart became more and more turbulent.

He leaned against the wine barrel with his eyes closed, and the figure of Chen Jia kept appearing in his mind.

That gentle smile, that determined look, every picture was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart.

He silently said in his heart: "Sister, why can't you see my love? I have always been by your side, silently protecting you, but you chose Wei Lang."

The alcohol permeated his body, making his mind confused and heated.

He silently said in his heart: "Sister, why can't you see my love? I have always been by your side, silently protecting you, but you chose Wei Lang. I really don't understand why my love is ignored by you like this.

Since the days when we grew up together, I have always been by your side, watching your joys and sorrows, rejoicing for your every success and feeling sad for your every sadness. I have imagined countless times that we could stay together like this until the end of our lives. But now, all of this has been broken. "

Chen Jue held the wine jar tightly in his hands, his fingers turning white from the force.

He recalled every moment he had spent with Chen Jia, and those wonderful times had now become a pain in his heart.

They ran and played in the fields together, watched the sunset together, and shared the joys and sorrows of life together.

At that time, they were so happy and carefree. But now, everything has changed.

Chen Jia's heart already has Wei Lang, but he can only watch silently, unable to do anything.

"I can't accept it. I really can't accept it. My love for you is not less than his. I can give you everything, even my life. But why can't you give me a chance? Why can't you see my sincerity?"

Chen Jue's heart was filled with pain and helplessness. He didn't understand why fate had to play such a trick on him.

He always thought that as long as he silently protected Chen Jia, one day she would see his good side and choose him.

But the reality was so cruel that his hopes were shattered so completely.

The alcohol permeated his body, making his mind confused and hot. He questioned himself why he was so powerless and why he couldn't be brave enough to take his sister away.

"I'm so useless. I can't even protect the person I love the most. What kind of man am I? I can't even control my own emotions."

Self-blame and regret overwhelmed him like a tide. He felt like a loser who had been completely defeated in the battlefield of love.

He imagined himself becoming powerful, standing at the pinnacle of power, and being able to protect his sister from the wind and rain.

"I must become a favored person by the emperor's side. I must have enough power to prevent my sister from being harmed. Only in this way can I be qualified to stand by her side and have the opportunity to let her see my love."

This thought kept circling in his mind, like an obsession, deeply rooted in the depths of his soul.

He knew that this road was full of difficulties and obstacles, but he had no way out. For his sister, he had to become strong, no matter what the cost.

Chen Jue's tears welled up again, slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the floor of the wine cellar.

He knew that this night of drunkenness was only a temporary escape, and tomorrow, he would embark on a challenging road, fighting hard for his love and future. He secretly vowed that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, he would not give up.
