Pei Wanyue's eyes were pale, like a lonely night hanging high in the sky, and the sickness on her face was hard to hide.

She lay on the couch obediently, looking at him with a slightly sideways glance, and said with a slight curve at the corner of her lips:

"What Master Xie says is Master Xie's business. Whether I listen or not is my own business."

The implication is that you have no control over me.

Xie Wenzhou's expression froze slightly, obviously not expecting her to say that.

Pei Wanyue raised her hand to gently press down her messy hair, blinked her long eyelashes slightly, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"But I still want to thank you for carrying me in. Now that I'm awake, I can't stay here any longer."

She propped herself up and sat up from the couch. After a while of dizziness, she slowly stood up.

But as soon as she took a step, she fell back onto the couch.

Perhaps he was in pain from the fall, and he let out a muffled groan.

Xie Wenzhou looked at her frail appearance, and the heartless words rolled to his lips, but he finally changed his words:

"Stay here for one night and go back early tomorrow morning."

Pei Wanyue was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him softly, and asked softly, "Will my presence here not disturb Master Xie?"

She lost her usual playfulness and liveliness, and instead became more cautious and fragmented.

A few strands of black hair were scattered casually on her shoulders, and her eyes were twinkling, which made her look very adorable.

Xie Wenzhou looked away calmly, his voice cold, "It's okay, I'll go to another bedroom to rest."

He wanted to let people go.

But she was like a delicate little white rabbit and couldn't even walk steadily.

As a gentleman, I had no choice but to let her stay here for one night.

Pei Wanyue frowned slightly, "How can this be possible? Master Xie, this is your bedroom, how can you give it to an outsider like me?"

She pursed her lips, and seemed to have taken great effort to stand firm. "I'll leave."

Xie Wenzhou's brows furrowed slightly, and he said calmly:

"It's snowing outside. Are you planning to faint in the yard again? It's okay if you faint. Just don't make it difficult for me to carry you in again."

Pei Wanyue paused and looked up at him, "But I don't want Master Xie to feel wronged because of me."

That's right, she wanted to be in the same room with him.

I just don't know if he will understand what she means?

Xie Wenzhou sneered, "There are plenty of rooms in the Divine Doctor Valley, so how can you say you're wronged?"

Pei Wanyue pursed her lips and said nothing, her beautiful eyes moving as she stared at him without blinking.

Xie Wenzhou's face turned slightly cold, and he looked away again, "Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes."

"Why do you say that, Mr. Xie? I always look at people this way." Pei Wanyue tilted her head, her tone slightly puzzled.

Xie Wenzhou lowered his eyes, revealing a lot of sharpness, and sneered:

"You didn't treat Pei Yan like that. Do you think you can fool me?"

Pei Wanyue sighed secretly and said slowly:

"Master Xie rarely spends time with us, so how do you know I'm not one of them watching him?"

"Or is it that although Master Xie is not with us, he is secretly observing us?"

"But I don't think Mr. Xie is a person who hides his true intentions. He is an upright person."

She finished speaking lightly, while constantly observing Xie Wenzhou's expression.

The violent energy around him could not help but rage, and his hands hanging at his sides were obviously clenched, with veins bulging.

His sharp eyes swept over her, "Ms. Pei, do you think you know me well?"

When Pei Wanyue saw him like this, she subconsciously felt a chill run down her spine.

Xie Wenzhou stepped closer to her, "Is this not the first time Miss Pei is meeting me?"

Pei Wanyue clenched the handkerchief tightly between her fingers, trying not to let herself show any panic. She said calmly, "Why do you say that, Master Xie?"

"Answer me." Xie Wenzhou's tone became a little heavier, which scared Pei Wanyue so much that she couldn't help but tremble.

Xie Wenzhou approached her step by step, leaving her with no way to retreat and she fell onto the couch.

He leaned down slightly, supporting his arms at her sides, and a shadow suddenly enveloped her.

The distance between the two people was instantly shortened, and the cold fragrance of pine wood after the snow suddenly came over.

Pei Wanyue stared at his ambiguous eyes, her body tensed up, and her heartbeat was deafening.

"Speak." Xie Wenzhou shouted in a low voice.

Pei Wanyue looked into his sharp yet cold eyes and said softly, "Mr. Xie, what answer do you want to hear? If it's what you want to hear, I will definitely cooperate and tell you."

Xie Wenzhou's brows were cold and sharp, and his slender hands immediately pinched her jaw, "I want to hear the truth."

"This is the first time I meet Mr. Xie." Pei Wanyue answered in a low voice, enduring the pain in her jaw.

Xie Wenzhou's eyes drooped slightly, and his gaze slashed across her face like a sharp blade. "Do you think I will believe it?"

Before Pei Wanyue could react, he threw out a sentence: "Tell me, what is your purpose in approaching me?"

"If Master Xie really wants to hear it, I'll tell you everything." Pei Wanyue confessed, "I want to steal Master Xie's heart."

She couldn't be so timid anymore.

Be sure to hit the ball straight.

Only in this way can I catch up with Brother Zhou faster.

"You are worthy of it?" Xie Wenzhou gradually increased the strength of his hands, causing her eyes to be filled with a thin layer of mist due to the pain.

His words were like invisible arrows, piercing her heart into a sieve.

It is because I love him that I am hurt without any scruples.

His eyes were really obscure and difficult to understand.

Pei Wanyue forced herself to suppress the bitterness in her heart and curled her lips into a bright smile. "Whether they are suitable or not, won't you know if you give it a try, Master Xie?"

"I won't give you a chance." Xie Wenzhou said concisely.

Pei Wanyue's face was already pale and her eyes were red, making her look no different from a pure and pitiful little white rabbit.

She bit her trembling lips and tears silently flowed out of her eyes.

The hot tears happened to hit the back of Xie Wenzhou's hand where veins were bulging. The heat made his hand shrink and he unconsciously reduced his strength.

Pei Wanyue felt sad.

So what if my tears fell on the back of his hand?

No matter what, it can't penetrate my heart.

The more I think about the memories, the more painful it becomes.

In just a moment, Pei Wanyue's eyes were filled with tears and she sobbed softly.

Xie Wenzhou loosened his grip and let go of her completely, still maintaining his aggressive stance. He glanced at her coldly and sneered:

"You're crying because I didn't give you a chance? Who taught you this trick? Do you think I'll be soft-hearted?"

"Are you overconfident, or have you never understood my character? Without knowing anything about me, you're so confident in claiming you can steal my heart?"

"Ms. Pei, you think too highly of yourself."

But the more he said this, the more Pei Wanyue couldn't stop crying.

Her long feathery eyelashes were covered with heavy tears. She blinked several times and the tears rolled down.

The vision in front of me was hazy, reflecting a blurry face.

She shrugged her shoulders slightly and cried for a long time. She felt short of breath and her little face turned red.

Xie Wenzhou noticed something was wrong with her and frowned, "Don't cry, or you'll die here."

"Xie Wenzhou, you are really annoying!" Pei Wanyue cried with tears in her eyes, glaring at him and scolding him.

She cried harder and harder, her breathing became rapid, and in the end she felt more and more suffocated.

Xie Wenzhou's dark pupils were filled with anger as he asked word by word, "How can I stop crying?"

"You... hug me..." Pei Wanyue squeezed out a sentence intermittently.

Xie Wenzhou didn't move. "Don't even think about it."

Pei Wanyue cried for too long and her body fell back limply.

Xie Wenzhou's eyes darkened, and almost instinctively he grabbed the back of her head, allowing her to lie steadily on the couch.

Pei Wanyue's beautiful eyes were moist, with a hint of surprise in them.

Is Brother Zhou supporting her because he’s afraid that she’ll fall on her head?

Xie Wenzhou's eyes swept across her flushed cheeks, then he looked up into her eyes, "If you cry again, I'll throw you out!"

Pei Wanyue immediately covered her mouth with her jade-white fingers, blinked her round eyes slightly, and shook her head violently.

Xie Wenzhou was slightly stunned, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. "It seems that intimidation is much more effective than hugging."

Pei Wanyue only then realized she had fallen into a trap. Her eyebrows knitted slightly, expressing dissatisfaction. "You didn't hug me, so how do you know the former is better?"

"The wind has stopped, the snow has stopped, do you think you can do it again?" Xie Wenzhou glanced at her coldly with a cold attitude.

Pei Wanyue stopped talking, feeling that the oxygen in her body was very thin.

With trembling hands, she reached for the sachet in her sleeve.

Who knew that after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the sachet.

Pei Wanyue's breathing became rapid and difficult, and she covered her chest with her hands, unable to calm down.

Xie Wenzhou's dark eyes darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "What are you looking for?"

"Xiang..." Pei Wanyue used all her strength but could only squeeze out this word.

Xie Wenzhou saw her chest heaving, his eyes darkened slightly, and he turned and left.

Pei Wanyue saw his hazy figure and her eyes gradually dimmed.

The bedroom door was opened.

A cold wind blew in, and Pei Wanyue couldn't help but tremble. Her breathing became even weaker, as if she was a fish thrown onto the shore by the waves and was on the verge of death.

Just as Pei Wanyue was about to close her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a figure approaching from afar.

Then came a commanding voice—

"Take it."

Xie Wenzhou placed the sachet in her palm.

She lost all her strength and could not hold the sachet, and it rolled to the ground.

Xie Wenzhou frowned and bent down to pick it up. This time he did not put it into Pei Wanyue's palm, but put it to her nose.

Pei Wanyue smelled the strong aroma of medicine, her breathing became steady, and her face became a little redder.

Xie Wenzhou's eyes moved away from her face and fell on the sachet in his palm.

It is a crescent-shaped sachet made of expensive material and exquisitely carved. It is worn by people of prominent royal status.

Xie Wenzhou's eyes darkened considerably. "Are you a royal princess?"

Pei Wanyue stared into his dark, deep eyes without blinking, and said, "To be honest, Master Xie, I am indeed a princess."

"Which country's princess?" Xie Wenzhou asked.

"The North Country." Pei Wanyue said.

She revealed her identity as a princess, which was a step forward.

I also hope that he will remember something when he knows that I am the princess of the Northern Kingdom.

Xie Wenzhou lowered his eyes to look at the sachet, also concealing his expression.

Pei Wanyue couldn't see his eyes, her heart was moved, and she said:

"Master Xie, do you know why the sachet is crescent-shaped? My father calls me Little Crescent Moon. This was the birthday gift he gave me when I was one month old."

The surroundings returned to their usual silence.

Xie Wenzhou stood beside the couch, glaring at her coldly, his dark eyes obscure and unclear. "What does Miss Pei want to say?"

Pei Wanyue's eyes darkened, and the hope that had just been ignited was dashed again.

How can she make Brother Zhou remember her?

At the right moment, Pei Yan's voice was heard outside the yard.

"Azhou, the medicine is at the door, remember to come out and get it."

"Also, there are no extra rooms in the valley, so you can stay with Little Moon for nearly one night."

However, the next moment, Pei Wanyue heard the sound of lock and key colliding.

Pei Yan must have locked them in the house.

This adds fuel to the fire.

As expected of Brother Pei Yan, he is so loyal.

Xie Wenzhou sneered, "Pei Yan, this is the only method you have."

"That's not all!" Pei Yan said, "I've also sealed the windows. You can't escape now. Stop struggling and surrender."

Xie Wenzhou looked surprised, his voice was very dull, "Then you really are busy for nothing, I have no intention of going to other bedrooms."

Pei Yan, who was standing under the eaves, widened his eyes and asked, "What... did you say?"

They just went to boil a bowl of medicine.

In just a moment, Azhou no longer rejected Xiaoyue?

Even willing to share a room with Xiaoyue?

Pei Yan became more and more excited as he thought about it, and ran out of the yard, "Second Senior Sister, it's done!"

His voice echoed in the silent courtyard and even reached the ears of Pei Wanyue and Xie Wenzhou.

Pei Wanyue: “…” What a huge misunderstanding.

Xie Wenzhou's eyebrows twitched slightly, he had missed something after all.

I thought that when he said that, Pei Yan would open the door in shock.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yan ran away.

I don't know whether to say he is naive or stupid?

But since I dug the hole myself, I have to jump in anyway.

Xie Wenzhou took a quilt and placed it on the low couch, then lay down directly, closed his eyes, and said coldly:

"Since he locked the door, you don't need to take your medicine."

Pei Wanyue: “…” Thank you so much, Brother Pei Yan.

Just a moment ago, I asked Brother Zhou to go out and get medicine.

The next moment the door was locked.

The main reason is that they haven't realized this yet.

Thinking of this, Pei Wanyue propped herself up and sat up, her eyes cast on Xie Wenzhou.

He didn't take off his mask.

After their reunion, she had never seen him take off the mask.

Brother Zhou did not wear a mask when he was a teenager.

I don't know what happened to him after they separated.

Xie Wenzhou suddenly glanced over, and Pei Wanyue was startled and quickly lay down.

He sneered, "Miss Pei, why are you still awake in the middle of the night, staring at me?"

"I just wanted to turn off the lights." Pei Wanyue answered calmly.

Xie Wenzhou's face darkened slightly. "I don't have the habit of turning off the lights before going to bed."

Pei Wanyue wanted to say that she didn’t have the habit of sleeping with the lights on.

But when he thought that this was his bedroom, he gave up the idea.

She lay on her side and looked at him, her soft voice sounding particularly clear in the quiet bedroom:

"May I know why you have this habit?"

However, the next moment, she received a cold reply, "No."

Pei Wanyue wanted to say something, but he gave her a cold look and she swallowed her words.

Perhaps because she had just cried, the heat in her body was disappearing, but she was also really feeling tired. She clenched the crescent-shaped sachet in her palm and gently closed her eyes.

Xie Wenzhou closed his eyes, but his mind was in a mess.

The scene of Pei Wanyue crying her heart out flashed through his mind countless times.

Only when he heard the shallow breathing sounds around him did Xie Wenzhou open his eyelids and look up.

The girl on the bed was sleeping peacefully, with crystal clear tears hanging in the corners of her eyes and her bright red lips. There seemed to be an invisible attraction about her that made it difficult for him to look away.

Xie Wenzhou took great effort to shift his gaze to her slender hand holding the sachet.

What she just said flashed through my mind.

"My father calls me Little Crescent Moon..."

"Little Crescent Moon..." Xie Wenzhou muttered softly, as if whispering.

But just as he finished speaking, an invisible pressure suddenly rushed up to his temple. The pain made him clench his teeth and his face turned pale.
