My game even includes ancient times

What does it mean?

It feels like a kind of dessert.

He Shi leaned closer to the door and smelled the enticing sweet fragrance wafting from the crack in the door.

He became even more convinced that the words on the plaque meant a delicious snack.

He Shi's gaze swept over the gate and the wall beside it, finally settling on the huge glazed tile wall.

He moved over and, through the glass wall, saw a woman sleeping on a recliner made of a strange material.

The woman was tall and slender, wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt and trousers, with something resembling an apron tied around her waist.

The trousers were a bit short, and the shoes were a bit low, revealing a slender, white ankle that was casually draped over the footstool, making the bones appear distinct, like finely carved jade.

She leaned her head against the headrest of the recliner, her face facing the glass window, her breathing even and deep, and she looked like she was sleeping soundly.

Her jet-black hair was casually tied up and draped over her headrest. Her fair cheeks were flushed with a faint pink. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, her long eyelashes were thick, and her pale lips were tightly closed.

She possesses a unique, soft, and understated charm under the sunlight.

He Shi stared blankly for a long time, then suddenly realized that he seemed to be doing something very impolite—

He casually stared at a sleeping girl he didn't recognize, and even mentally sketched out her appearance...

He quickly looked away, and in that instant, the woman suddenly opened her eyes.

His deep, pure black pupils met He Shi's gaze immediately.

He Shi stood frozen in place.

Fortunately, he realized the next second that the woman's gaze was unfocused, as if she was looking at the void behind him.

He Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling a strange sense of relief that he hadn't been discovered and a pang of guilt for having done something wrong.

After a moment of stunned silence, the woman in the room slowly turned her head, looked down at the thin little box in her hand, and a tender smile appeared on her lips.

What's in that little box?

He Shi couldn't help but think that, from his current angle, he couldn't see the front of the box.

So He Shi tried to move his gaze toward the woman's back, but as soon as he turned around, everything went black and he completely lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in the room of the Heyang Sect.

He Shi took two seconds to react before slowly sitting up.

Hearing his commotion, Chu He came in, holding a handkerchief in his hand. His hair was already tied up, and his temples were slightly damp.

"Junior brother, it's time to get up."

Chu He wiped his face, and seeing that He Shi still looked like he'd lost his soul, he couldn't help but step forward, "Junior Brother?"

He Shi realized what was happening and turned to look at him: "Huh?"

Chu He frowned slightly: "Why do you look so dazed and silly? Have you been poisoned?"

As he spoke, he was about to go out to find a maid to call a doctor.

He Shi, who had fully regained consciousness, quickly called out to him, "Second Senior Brother, wait! I'm fine. I just had a dream and woke up suddenly. I'm still a little confused."

Chu He turned to look at him: "Are you really alright?"

He Shi affirmed, "It's really nothing."

"That's good." Chu He took the handkerchief and went out. "Get up and get ready, it's time for breakfast."

Upon hearing this, He Shi temporarily put aside his bizarre dream, got up, put on his shoes, socks, and undershirt, and went to the outer room to wash up.

After washing up and leaving the room, I immediately saw that Xia Yuan and Chu Yunsi's doors were wide open.

He Shi hesitated for a moment, walked to the door, and was about to knock when he heard Chu Yunsui's tearful voice coming from inside.

"What?! Last night was so dangerous! I just slept through the night and couldn't help at all! Ah!!"

Interspersed among these words were Xia Yuan's words of comfort: "It's alright, it's alright. It's good that you're asleep. The scene was incredibly bloody, it was truly..."

He paused slightly, then knocked on the door twice with more force.

The chaos inside the door abruptly ceased, followed by Xia Yuan's somewhat weak voice: "Is that Junior Brother? Come in."

He Shi stepped inside, walked around the screen, and saw four people standing and sitting in the small inner room, which seemed particularly lively.

A light and nutritious meal was laid out on the table. Bai Yushen and Chu He stood and sat at the table, each holding a bowl of porridge, eating it idly.

Xia Yuan was dressed neatly, leaning against the bed, looking at him with a smile. Her face was slightly pale, but her spirits were still good.

Chu Yunsi sat opposite her, holding her hands in her own, her eyes red and tears still clinging to her cheeks.

Seemingly not wanting He Shi to see her in such a pathetic state with tears streaming down her face, Chu Yunsi turned her head away and quickly wiped her face with her hand.

Then she turned to look at He Shi, her voice choked with emotion, and asked, "Junior Brother, are you injured?"

"It's just a minor injury." He Shi walked into the room, sat down at the table next to Chu He, and tried to comfort her. "Senior sister, there's no need to blame yourself. The ones we should blame are those who came to assassinate us for no reason, and those who plotted all of this behind the scenes."

Chu Yunsi sobbed, her eyes and the tip of her small nose turning red from crying, like a snow-white little rabbit.

She stammered, "That's true, but the thought of myself sleeping soundly inside while you were out there fighting and killing like crazy makes me feel guilty. Besides,"

As she spoke, she glanced at Xia Yuan's pale face, tears welling up in her eyes again: "Besides, Senior Sister's injuries are so severe, it must be because of me that she's been held back..."

Xia Yuan raised her hand to touch her head and said gently, "It's alright, it's not because of you. There were just too many people, and there were even a few skilled ones among them. I wasn't careful and that's how I got injured. It has nothing to do with you, Junior Sister."

"Don't cry, okay?"

She wiped away the tears that had fallen from Chu Yunsi's eyes and pointed to the breakfast on the table: "Let's go eat quickly, or your two senior brothers will eat it all."

Chu Yunsi turned around and saw that Chu He and Bai Yushen had pancakes stuffed in their mouths and were slurping porridge from their bowls.

Seeing her look at them, they all put down their bowls and stared at her with innocent expressions.

"Pfft-"

Chu Yunsi burst into laughter through her tears, rubbed her eyes, stood up, and said in a nasal voice, "Senior sister, slow down, let me help you over."

The five of them finished their breakfast around the table.

They then went back to their own activities. After lunch, the young doctor who had treated their injuries the night before came over with his medicine box and changed their dressings.

The scene of changing the dressing almost made Chu Yunsi cry again.

After a long period of comforting, time quickly passed to 3:45 PM, with only half an hour left before the wedding ceremony began.

The five of them then leisurely finished packing and slowly made their way to the front yard.
