After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Ye Zhuxi bit her lip, hesitated for a long time but still couldn't tell the truth.

She only vaguely said, "There are reasons why I'm good to my older brother, but I'm serious about wanting to be good to you!"

When Fu Jingyuan heard the word "serious," he recalled her earlier words, telling him to get out of the General's Mansion as soon as possible.

The sounds of fireworks and firecrackers filled his ears, but he remained expressionless. To be precise, he didn't expect Ye Zhuxi to tell the truth.

Ye Zhuxi secretly observed the expression on his face and felt increasingly frustrated when she saw that his face remained cold and indifferent.

She pouted: "What, big brother, don't you believe what I'm saying?"

Ye Zhuxi didn't notice that when she said those words, there was a hint of coquetry in her tone.

Fu Jingyuan looked up at the fireworks filling the sky, then turned back to look at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Second sister is telling the truth, so why worry that I won't believe her!"

"of course it's true!"

Ye Zhuxi didn't catch the sarcasm in Fu Jingyuan's words and even grinned with a smile in her eyes.

As she spoke, she took out a red cloth lucky bag from her waist pouch, with the words "May everything go as you wish" embroidered on it.

In Daqi, there has always been a custom of giving lucky bags during the Lunar New Year, which means that those who receive lucky bags will have everything go smoothly and their wishes will come true in the coming year.

Ye Zhuxi was still a little uneasy as she took out the lucky bag and gave it to Fu Jingyuan.

Fu Jingyuan had received lucky bags before, given to him by his second uncle, but she cut them up right in front of him.

To be honest, Ye Zhuxi still doesn't understand why she has such a strong hostility towards Fu Jingyuan, as if she would suppress or sabotage whatever he does.

Ye Zhuxi straightened the wrinkles on the lucky bag and handed it to Fu Jingyuan with a mix of embarrassment and caution.

"This is for my older brother!"

"..."

Fu Jingyuan looked up and saw what Ye Zhuxi was holding. His indifferent gaze faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

Ye Zhuxi held the bright red lucky bag in both hands, which made her slender and fair hands appear even whiter, with a hint of rosy tinge at her fingertips, making her look extremely delicate.

Fu Jingyuan pursed his thin lips, his eyes completely expressionless.

He reached out and took it, holding it tightly in his hand without looking at it again.

Seeing that he accepted it, Ye Zhuxi was overjoyed, her eyes crinkling with laughter, a stark contrast to Fu Jingyuan's indifferent demeanor.

She wasn't unaware of Fu Jingyuan's indifference; she simply assumed that this was his personality—whether happy or sad, he always appeared indifferent and unconcerned.

Just like before, no matter what she did to him that was too much, he always had this expression, except for that time when she was bullied so badly that he grabbed her and pinched her, he seemed to have no emotions at all.

"Since you've accepted it, you can't be angry, or you'll lose your good fortune," Ye Zhuxi said with a smile.

Fu Jingyuan shifted his gaze away from her, tightened his grip on the lucky bag under his sleeve, and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Next, the two watched the entire fireworks display together. Ye Zhuxi kept talking, while Fu Jingyuan didn't say much, only replying with a few words here and there...

When it was time to go back, the lotus leaf in the corner where the fireworks were set off almost fell asleep.

Ye Zhuxi pulled up a lotus leaf that was dozing off in the corner of the wall, and the smile on her lips revealed her beautiful mood at that moment.

"Let's go, we can go back to our rooms and sleep now!"

He Ye rubbed her blurry eyes, looked at Ye Zhuxi with a smile, then glanced at Fu Jingyuan standing in the distance, and instantly realized why her young mistress had brought the fireworks to the backyard—it was all to "please" Fu Jingyuan!

Looking back, the young lady seemed quite unwell just two days ago, a complete contrast to her current radiant appearance. All of this was because of Fu Jingyuan!!

Lotus Leaf stared wide-eyed, turning around in disbelief.

"Let's go!" Ye Zhuxi didn't pay attention and took her hand, walking back.

After watching the person walk away, Fu Jingyuan took out the lucky bag that Ye Zhuxi had just given him. Looking at the words "May everything go as you wish" embroidered on it, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"Ha, may everything go as you wish!" He rubbed the embroidered words a few times with his slender fingers, then threw them to the ground.

As the lucky bag sank deep into the snowdrift, Fu Jingyuan's gaze grew even colder.

In his opinion, only bored people would place their hopes on such things.

After that, he didn't look at it again and turned back into the house.

The bright red lucky bag was left lying alone in the snow, slowly being swallowed up by the falling snowflakes until not a trace of red could be seen.

……

The next morning, He Ye pushed open the door and saw Ye Zhu Xi sitting on the bed in a daze, looking mournful and blank.

He Ye put down the breakfast in her hand, walked to her side, and asked with a puzzled look, "Didn't Miss make up with Fu Jingyuan? Why are you still sighing?"

Ye Zhuxi glanced up at the lotus leaf, then lowered her head, sighed, shook her head, and remained silent.

She had been reborn for almost three months, but her relationship with Fu Jingyuan had not improved at all, and she couldn't find a way to deal with Mu Zichen, which made her feel a little exhausted.

However, dealing with Mu Zichen can wait; she has something more important to do, which is to help Fu Jingyuan regain his identity.

Ye Zhuxi pursed her lips and carefully recalled her memories from her past life.

If she remembered correctly, besides Emperor Dazhao looking for Fu Jingyuan, there were other people also looking for him. However, those people weren't there to take Fu Jingyuan back to enjoy wealth and luxury; they wanted to kill him.

It was obvious who wanted to kill him; it must have been someone from the Dazhao royal family, whose aim was to reduce the number of people vying for the throne. As for who exactly it was, she didn't know.

But if she helps Fu Jingyuan regain his identity now and brings him back to Daqi, then even if Fu Jingyuan still has no good feelings towards her in the future, he will not abandon the Ye family just for this reason.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhuxi suddenly stood up, startling He Ye who was standing next to her.

Ye Zhuxi excitedly called to He Ye, "Quick, quick, help me change my clothes, I'm going out!"

……

Fu Jingyuan was very easy to talk to today. He followed Ye Zhuxi out of the general's mansion without uttering a single complaint.

Ye Zhuxi was somewhat surprised by this, and her gaze kept falling on Fu Jingyuan's face along the way.

Fu Jingyuan noticed her gaze, but he ignored it and continued walking forward.

Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the streets are packed with people, with countless vendors and food stalls.

Ye Zhuxi was determined to help Fu Jingyuan regain his identity, and the first step was to let the people who were looking for him know where he was so that they would come to him on their own. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to do it well on her own.

Seeing Fu Jingyuan walking ahead, Ye Zhuxi suddenly called out.

"...Fu Jingyuan"
