Seeing this, the Duchess raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not say anything, only quietly watching the two children.

Mu Yunnan was somewhat puzzled, but seeing her expectant look, he let her lead him by the hand.

Mu Yunchao's gaze fell on their departing figures. He was about to follow them when the Duchess grabbed his sleeve.

"Yun Chao, come with me."

Mu Yunnan was pulled along by Xiao Yuxi all the way into the Duchess's courtyard.

The little girl pushed her older sister and made her sit on the stone bench in the yard. She found a ribbon somewhere and stepped on the stone to tie it for her.

Mu Yunnan watched as the little girl stood trembling on the rock, tying a ribbon for him, and his eyes flickered slightly.

This scene gradually overlapped with her past life.

She was seriously wounded on the battlefield and could not hold a knife with her right hand, which caused her to be depressed for a long time.

To prevent her from practicing secretly, her family put away all the weapons in her yard, and she was always watched when she moved around.

This was a huge blow to Mu Yunnan, who was once very proud.

Although Yu Xi had already recognized the Mu family, she had not yet moved into the Mu residence. After learning about this, the Mu family invited her to their restaurant under the pretext of a gathering of friends.

As they entered, Yu Xi smiled and tied a ribbon around her eyes before leading her into the backyard.

"Wait a minute~"

"Okay, take it off now!"

When Mu Yunnan took off the ribbon, he was greeted by a courtyard full of all kinds of weapons, each of which was engraved with the words "Yunnan".

"It's just that my right hand is temporarily unable to use weapons. Only you young masters and ladies would be disappointed by this. Even if I lost my entire right hand, I can still wield my left hand with great power."

She spoke with exceptional confidence, casually taking a long spear with her left hand and wielding it with fluid and beautiful movements.

Yu Xi casually picked up a red-tasseled spear and threw it directly to Mu Yunnan, not caring at all whether it would hurt her.

Mu Yunnan instinctively reached out his left hand to catch it, and was slightly taken aback when he realized he had successfully caught it, but then smiled with relief.

Seeing that she was a little awkward using it, Yu Xi went up to correct her posture. When she was able to wield the spear skillfully, she smiled and whispered, "Sister, may you be blessed with good fortune, longevity and peace."

But her voice was so soft that Mu Yunnan, who was engrossed in practicing his shooting, completely missed the "sister" he had been waiting for his whole life.

In fact, she had already obtained it at that time.

-

Mu Yunnan smiled, calmly lowered his head, closed his eyes, and let Xiao Yuxi tie it for him.

After tying her up, Xiao Yuxi carefully looked around to make sure her sister couldn't see her before running into the house.

He ran while shouting, "Don't move!"

Mu Yunnan heard the little girl run into the house, then run out again with some things, making a clattering sound, before putting the things on the table and running back inside. Then came another series of clattering sounds.

It's extremely worrying; she might fall at this hour.

The maidservants tried to help, but the little girl refused them firmly.

After a while, Mu Yunnan was starting to think about taking off her blindfold herself when Xiao Yuxi ran up to her and said, "Okay! Second sister, take it off!"

Mu Yunnan removed his blindfold, and when he looked up, the garden in front of him had turned into a sea of ​​lights.

The candlelight flickered, and Xiao Yuxi stood in the candlelight, smiling at her.

On the table was a scroll with a few crooked words written on it: "Happy Birthday, Second Sister".

It's obvious at a glance that it was written by Xiaoyuxi herself, who has only learned to write a few words. She also drew many hearts and a kissing emoji on it.

Mu Yunnan couldn't help but smile.

Several small plates of pastries were placed next to her, all of which were Yu Xi's favorites.

She's given her everything she likes.

Mu Yunnan's eyes welled up with tears, and he gently stroked the painting with his hand, as if cherishing it.

Seeing that her sister hadn't noticed her gift, Xiao Yuxi anxiously pointed to the small black wooden box pressed on the scroll.

"Second sister, this!" Little Yu Xi's big black eyes were filled with the words "Look quickly."

Mu Yunnan readily accepted the suggestion and picked up the small black wooden box. He lowered his eyes and opened the box, revealing an exquisitely crafted clay figurine dressed in armor lying inside.

Mu Yunnan picked up the little doll with some surprise. This outfit was the armor she wore when she first met Yu Xi.

She had just been reborn and was still in the army camp when she immediately rode off on horseback to find her. She didn't even have time to change her clothes, but she didn't expect that the woman would remember her.

When I came back a few days ago, I always saw Xiao Yuxi covered in dirt. It turns out she had been doing this.

"Second sister, do you like it?"

Xiao Yuxi leaned against her, looking up at her with anticipation.

Mu Yunnan lowered her head and hugged the little girl tightly in her arms, her voice slightly choked, "Thank you, Xixi, second sister likes it very much."

Xiao Yuxi hugged Mu Yunnan back, "Happy birthday, Second Sister!"

Happy birthday, Yunnan!

"Happy birthday."

Happy birthday, sis!!!

Mu Yunnan turned his head and stared blankly at his mother, Yun Chao, and Yun Chen, who had entered at some unknown time.

Yun Chao placed the noodles in her hand on the stone table in front of her.

Mu Yunnan opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say a word. His nose felt sore, and he wanted to cry, but he held back his tears.

Her gaze swept across the faces of her mother, Yun Chao, Yun Chen, and Yu Xi, before settling on her mother's face.

The Duchess smiled gently and patted her shoulder. "Nannan, you've had a long and tiring time."

Mu Yunnan shook his head, picked up the bowl of longevity noodles with both hands, and ate it bite by bite.

It tastes slightly sour, like tears.

But it also seems to have a slightly sweet taste.

Mu Yunchen also took out a small wooden box just like Yu Xi's and placed it next to Yu Xi's wooden box.

Mu Yunnan finished the last bite of noodles before reaching out to open the wooden box. Inside was her, dressed in women's clothing, wearing a long dress, turning her head and smiling as she looked behind her.

"Sister! Do whatever you like. Whether you're in armor or in a dress, it's all you."

Mu Yunnan stared blankly at Mu Yunchen, then chuckled and pinched his cheek. "You're usually so ignorant and incompetent, yet you can say such things! I really underestimated you!"

Mu Yunnan then looked at Mu Yunchao, his meaning quite clear in his eyes.

These two kids have put so much thought into giving you gifts, shouldn't you, as an adult, reciprocate?

Seriously? Seriously? There really are people who don't give gifts for someone's birthday?

Mu Yunchao understood the meaning in Mu Yunnan's eyes and snorted coldly.

He took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, with the character "南" (Nan, meaning south) carved on the back.

This was a birthday gift he had prepared months ago, but he never gave it to her in his previous life.
