Inviting the Moon to the Farmhouse

"Good news! Good news!" Wang Cui exclaimed as she walked into the courtyard.

Hearing Wang Cui's voice, Xia Huifang jogged out of the kitchen and walked towards Wang Cui with a smile, "Her family agreed?!"

Wang Cui didn't keep them in suspense and nodded, "Fan He's father has agreed, your family should hurry up and make some preparations."

"Oh, that's wonderful!" Xia Huifang clasped her hands together and bowed to the sky. "Thank you, God, for your blessings. Thank you, ancestors, for your protection."

After delivering the message, Wang Cui hurried to Xiajia Village to tell A Niu's parents the news.

Xia Huifang stopped Wang Cui, saying, "Sister-in-law, have some tea before you go."

"No, it'll be dark soon," Wang Cui said, and walked towards the door.

Xia Huifang realized what was going on and remembered something. She immediately ran to Xia Yao's room, pulled him out, and asked him to write a letter of commitment for A Niu and give it to Wang Cui.

"Mother, let's discuss the family property and houses with Uncle before writing them down. We haven't seen him for a few days, and we don't know what he's lost this time. We can't just write anything down and deceive the girl, can we?" Xia Yao said.

Xia Huifang felt helpless as she spoke to Xia Yao, so she let go of Xia Yao's hand and said, "Then I'll go tomorrow."

In the evening, Dai You and Xia Lanyue returned to the Xia family home.

Xia Huifang prepared three dishes and opened a jar of wine, just waiting for them to come back.

"Ah Yue, Dai You, you're finally back! Sit down quickly, there's great news! The Fan family has agreed to Ah Niu's marriage!" Xia Huifang was so happy her mouth almost reached the back of her head. "Sit down quickly, let's have a drink together to celebrate."

"That's wonderful!" Xia Lanyue looked at A Niu and said, "Congratulations!"

“Ah Yue, don’t leave. Stay and attend Ah Niu’s wedding. You’ve never seen a village wedding before, have you? It’s so interesting,” Xia Huifang said with a smile.

"That's right, then you can also prepare some rice cakes for me. Everyone loves your rice cakes," Ah Niu said.

"If I were still in the village, I would definitely prepare it for you," Xia Lanyue said with a smile.

Six people sat around the table, raising their glasses to celebrate Ah Niu's wedding.

Xia Huifang cared deeply for her two nephews, and with A Niu's marriage going through, Xia Huifang had finally fulfilled a wish.

At the dinner table, after a few drinks, Xia Huifang began to recount her family's past. Memories flooded her mind, stirring her emotions, causing her voice to tremble increasingly. Finally, when she spoke of her advice to A Niu, tears welled up in her eyes. "A Niu, you must be a responsible person. Don't let that girl down. You don't know how difficult it is for a girl to make a living in this world..."

Xia Huifang couldn't continue. She covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face through her fingers. Her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she were trying desperately to control her emotions, but to no avail.

No one present dared to speak. Everyone could tell these words were addressed to Ah Niu, but it also sounded more like a lamentation of their own hardships and sorrows…

Xia Lanyue turned to the side and hugged Xia Huifang, wanting to offer her some comfort with her slender shoulders.

Xia Huifang gently patted Xia Lanyue's shoulder, looked up, and said, "Oh dear, I lost my composure and made you all laugh at me," before wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The group dared not speak and kept their heads down in silence.

What was supposed to be a happy occasion was ruined by Xia Huifang's antics, and everyone lost their enthusiasm. Xia Huifang seemed to realize this as well, so she stood up and said, "I'm finished eating, you all continue eating, I'm going back to rest," before leaving the table and returning to her room.

Once Xia Huifang's door closed, the people at the table relaxed, exchanging glances and remaining silent.

Acheng broke the silence first, "Aniu, you're getting married. As your older brother, I'm happy for you. Let's have a drink." Acheng poured wine for Aniu and also filled his own glass.

Whether Ah Cheng had something on his mind or simply enjoyed the drink, he kept pouring himself one glass after another and even urging others to drink as well.

Having learned her lesson from previous drinking experiences, Xia Lanyue didn't dare to drink too much. She only drank three cups before removing the cup and refusing to drink any more.

Dai You seemed pleased with her behavior and smiled at her.

"Ayou, when will you take me to see the snow in the north?"

“Let’s go with this winter’s,” Dai You said to her with a smile as he turned around.

"Really? You're not lying to me again, are you?"

“No, this time it’s for real,” Dai You said as he walked up to her.

She stretched out her red, frozen hands to Dai You, saying, "It's so cold."

Dai You held her hand, rubbed the back of her hand, and then put it to his mouth, breathing warm air on it to warm her up.

"It's still cold."

Dai You was taken aback, then grabbed her arm, pulled her close, and embraced her. Despite his height, he hunched over, burying his head in her shoulder.

At that moment, she seemed to feel his breath brushing against her neck, making her feel ticklish.

"Hehe..." She couldn't help but flinch.

"Heh," Dai You laughed, pulling her even tighter so she had nowhere to hide, while burying his face even deeper.

"Haha," she laughed out loud, tilting her head back.

Dai You moved closer to her again. This time, his moist lips kissed her neck aggressively, moving upwards little by little, across her cheeks, and finally resting on her lips...

"Wait..." Xia Lanyue suddenly sat up, her eyes closed, her hands supporting her chest, looking resistant as if pushing something away, "No!"

A moment later, Xia Lanyue came to her senses and looked at the familiar room before her, realizing that it was just a dream...

Xia Lanyue let out a long sigh, calming herself down.

What was that just now?

illusion?

Xia Lanyue patted her face, making a loud thud because she patted it too hard.

"Are you crazy? If you want a man, you can have one. This is your brother!" Xia Lanyue punched herself in the head twice, then collapsed onto the bed in a fit of despair.

She frowned, covered her face, and her feelings were very complicated.

She couldn't describe the feeling; she only felt a deep sense of guilt that made her feel nauseous. She hated that feeling.

Although it was a dream, it felt so real, as if she had experienced it herself.

Suddenly, a bad thought exploded in her mind.

Could this dream be Dai Xiyue's memory?!

Based on past experience, this is very likely true!

Thinking about this, Xia Lanyue felt like she was going crazy.

Dai Xiyue is too audacious! She actually has this kind of relationship with her sworn brother?! Although they are not blood-related siblings, such a relationship is unacceptable to the world!

So they left home because their relationship was exposed?! So they weren't going to their aunt's house, maybe they were going to see the snow?! So Dai You wouldn't explain her situation because it was too embarrassing to talk about!

No wonder Dai You looked at her with such deep affection; it turns out, everything had a reason.

Dai Xiyue, oh Dai Xiyue, you've really left behind a huge problem. What is she going to do now? How is she going to get along with Dai You?! She's always treated Dai You like an older brother, and she can't accept this change in their relationship. Besides, that feeling isn't hers; it belongs to Dai Xiyue and Dai You.

Since that's the case, let their relationship fade away with their amnesia.

At this moment, Xia Lanyue felt she had to do something, or it would be too late.
