Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Song Jinbai had originally planned to go to Taohua Village tonight, but was delayed by Song Zhu before leaving. He was unable to see the person he was thinking about. He was full of resentment and danced with a long sword in the yard with murderous intent.

At this moment, a person in black suddenly appeared from the side. She was wearing a well-cut nightgown that perfectly outlined her exquisite figure. Her long hair was tied up high, and her face was covered with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of bright and beautiful eyes.

The man in black, holding a gleaming longsword, came at Song Jinbai like a ghost, moving straight towards him. Seeing this, Song Jinbai moved sideways, quickly raising his sword to block. However, the man in black didn't hold back at all because Song Jinbai blocked the sword, instead, he took advantage of the situation and unleashed an even more fierce killing move.

The two men instantly engaged in a fierce exchange, swords flashing back and forth, and after seven or eight rounds, they were still evenly matched. Song Jinbai's swordsmanship was steady and powerful, while the black-clothed man's swordsmanship was more agile and elegant. The two collided, erupting in bursts of dazzling sparks.

"grown ups!"

Song Huai and Song Zhu hurried over with a group of guards, each holding a long sword and ready for battle.

The two people fighting stopped at the same time and took a step back.

Song Jinbai had a guess in his mind the moment the man in black appeared. He asked tentatively, "Nuan'er, is that you?"

Ji Nuan pulled down her veil in surprise, "How did you tell?" She was wrapped up tightly, and everything from her hairstyle to her weapons was different from her usual outfit. What gave her away?"

Song Jinbai smiled, his eyes falling softly on her face: "Your eyes."

He had drawn this person so many times that Ji Nuan's appearance was engraved in his heart. Even if she showed a pair of eyes, he would know it was her.

When Song Huai saw that the person coming was Ji Nuan, he waved his finger and signaled all the guards to retreat.

He put away the knife and nudged Song Zhu with his elbow, "Are we leaving?"

"Do you want to stay?" Song Zhu glanced at him and left expressionlessly, leaving Song Huai grinning silently behind him.

Soon, Song Jinbai and Ji Nuan were the only two people left in the yard.

Ji Nuan raised the sword in his hand and said with a smile, "Song Jinbai, the winner hasn't been decided yet, shall we continue the fight?"

Song Jinbai raised his lips slightly, a hint of amusement in his smile: "You still want to kill me? Nuan'er's fighting style just now was deadly."

Ji Nuan laughed, "I won't really hurt you with my sword. I just want to test the depth of your kung fu."

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her sword and attacked Song Jinbai without any warning.

The two men engaged in a fierce battle again, with swords flashing, one advancing and the other retreating. When Ji Nuan thought she could suppress the other, she was suppressed by the other again. After fighting for more than a hundred moves, it was still difficult to determine the winner.

Ji Nuan felt that Song Jinbai had hidden his strength and that continuing the fight would be fruitless.

She took two steps back, put away her sword, and said angrily, "No more fighting, it's boring!"

"Okay, then we won't fight." Song Jinbai walked over with a smile, put his arm around her shoulders, and led her to sit at the stone table. "Why are you here so late?"

"Isn't it because I don't want to see you with such resentment next time I see you?" Ji Nuan kept this thought in her mind but didn't say it out loud. Instead, she said, "I came to see you today. Are you surprised?"

Song Jinbai nodded seriously, "Yeah, it's really surprising and exciting!"

Ji Nuan grumbled dissatisfiedly: "Perfunctory!"

"How could I be perfunctory with you?" Song Jinbai quickly clarified, pecking her lips lightly. "Originally, I was going to come see you tonight, but Song Zhu came to see me for something, so I was delayed. I was of course surprised that you took the initiative to see me, but your unique way of appearing really shocked me. What if I didn't recognize you and mistook you for an assassin and injured you? You are not allowed to do this again in the future!"

Under Song Jinbai's unyielding gaze, Ji Nuan had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I promise you!" But in her heart she was thinking nonchalantly that if she used all her strength, all the people in the yard combined would not be able to hurt her at all.

It’s so late now, and I just played another game. The little I hurriedly ate for dinner is almost gone.

Song Jinbai was really hungry. He asked Ji Nuan, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"I'm not hungry, but I brought some kebabs, so I can have a couple of bites with you."

Ji Nuan took out the barbecue skewers that she had secretly left for Song Jinbai when no one was paying attention, as well as a small jar of peach blossom wine from the space.

When Song Jinbai saw the wine, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You also brought wine?" As he said that, he opened the lid of the jar and the aroma of wine wafted into his nose.

Ji Nuan smiled and nodded, "Barbecue should be paired with wine! You can try the peach blossom wine produced in Taohuaxi, it tastes pretty good."

"Do you have a wine glass?" Song Jinbai looked at her and asked. He knew Ji Nuan had some tricks up her sleeve, but he didn't know if she had prepared a wine glass. If she forgot, he could use a teacup.

Ji Nuan handed him two wine glasses and shook her head.

He is indeed a young man raised in a century-old family, so noble!

The small wine jar is as big as two fists put together. Why not just drink it directly? But you have to pour it into the wine glass specifically. How particular!

In comparison, Ji Nuan felt more like a rough-and-tumble man. Shamelessly, she preferred to drink straight from the jar, which was quite cool.

Song Jinbai didn't notice Ji Nuan had so many thoughts. He took the wine glass and elegantly poured two cups of peach blossom wine. He handed one to Ji Nuan and took a sip of the other himself before praising, "It's really a good wine! Did Nuan brew it herself?"

Ji Nuan ate the barbecued meat in big mouthfuls, and at the same time, she did not forget to pass a skewer to Song Jinbai's mouth, and said with a smile: "I guess so. You can eat some barbecued meat to fill your stomach first. This barbecued meat tastes very good."

Song Jinbai took a bite of the barbecue from Ji Nuan's hand, chewed it carefully, looked at her and nodded.

Nuan'er was not lying, the barbecue she fed her tasted really good.

"Isn't it delicious? I grilled it!" Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows with pride, her face filled with a proud smile. Although she couldn't cook, she was quite good at grilling.

"Nuan'er is amazing!" Song Jinbai praised without hesitation. He knew what Ji Nuan wanted to hear, so he continued to coax her to feed him. "It's slightly charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes great. Give me another bite."

Ji Nuan nodded generously and cooperated by feeding him another skewer of barbecue.

The two of them ate, taking turns to eat, in a relaxed and sweet atmosphere. Song Jinbai, who had been feeling extremely depressed tonight and could only vent his emotions by practicing swordplay in the courtyard, felt his gloom dissipate completely.

He looked at Ji Nuan with a gentle gaze, his heart filled with satisfaction. For the rest of his life, he would give Ji Nuan happiness, including the happiness his mother had lost.
