Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Xin Fujiyan found Fang Xin's location and sincerely apologized: "Second Miss Fang, I didn't mean to say those things. If you're still angry, just don't..."

He subconsciously lowered his dark gaze to his lower body; though he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was self-evident.

He patted his chest again: "If the second young lady is still very angry, she can cut me all she wants. This time I will definitely not dodge."

Fang Xin bent down and picked up the kitchen knife from the ground. She glanced at the room, which she had slashed into a mess, and smiled wickedly: "Okay."

She approached Xin Fujiyan with a kitchen knife in her hand, flipping the knife over as if she were really going to chop him up.

"Yu'er, Xin'er, what are you both doing here?"

Suddenly, Li's voice came from the doorway again.

Li got up to go to the outhouse, and only came over to check when she heard the commotion in the backyard.

All three people in the room looked towards the door.

Fang Xin instinctively hid the kitchen knife behind her back, afraid that Li would see it.

In her hands, the kitchen knife was used almost as a tool for cutting vegetables and chopping meat. If her mother saw her using it to chop people, she would probably be terrified.

When Li entered, she saw the messy room and clearly visible knife marks.

She frowned with worry and looked at Fang Yu, asking, "Yu'er, did a thief break into the house? How did it get like this?"

After speaking, Li's gaze fell on the unfamiliar face beside Fang Yu: "And who is this?"

This was clearly Fuju's room, but he was nowhere to be seen, and the room was a mess. Li Shi frowned.

Fang Yu had no choice but to tell Li Shi some of the important things she had previously told Fang Xin.

Li was quite surprised; she hadn't expected Fuju to have such a background.

Looking at Xin Fujiyan again, Li Shi realized that he seemed to be blind.

"What...what happened to his eyes?"

Li asked tentatively, glancing at Fang Yu at the same time.

"Forehead…"

Fang Yu was about to make up an excuse when Fang Xin spoke up first: "A thief broke in just now, and he was caught off guard and his eye was injured by the thief."

When Fang Xin said this, she almost couldn't help but laugh.

Before Li could say anything more, Fang Xin came over, took her arm, and led her outside: "Mother, it's late, and there's nothing serious. Let's go back to sleep."

As she left, Fang Xin secretly handed the kitchen knife to Fang Yu from behind and gave her a hand gesture.

As long as the children are safe and sound, Li will not interfere in anything else.

Yun Jie only appeared at the door now. Actually, she had followed Fang Yu out when he came out, but she had just stayed at the door.

She walked in and took the kitchen knife from Fang Yu's hand: "Miss Fang, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. Leave the rest to me."

Fang Yu glanced back at Xin Fujiyan, but ultimately said nothing and left.

Xin Fujiyan finally felt completely exhausted and slumped heavily into the chair behind him, letting out a long sigh. His face still showed lingering fear.

But he wasn't afraid of Fang Xin cutting him; he was afraid of Fang Yu driving him away.

Fortunately, everyone is alright.

Yun Jie toyed with the kitchen knife in his hand, walked over slowly, and asked in a cold tone, "You won't die, will you?"

Xin Fujiyan slowly shook his head, mocking himself, "Laugh if you want to."

He had lost all his strength and abilities, and even if Yun Jie wanted to cut him again now, he would not want to resist.

Yun Jie gave a slight sneer, which could be considered a form of mockery.

Then she put down the kitchen knife, grabbed Xin Fujiyan's arm, and carried him onto the bed.

"Since I'm not going to die, I might as well be a good bodyguard."

Xin Fuji understood Yun Jie's words. Clearly, Yun Jie had begun to accept him for some reason.

Yun Jie softened his attitude towards him mainly because Fang Xin had shown him no mercy in her attacks, but he did not retaliate against Fang Xin in order to save his own life.

Based on this alone, Yun Jie was certain that the person he was in the Blazing Kingdom was not the real him.

The farce came to an end at this moment.

……

The sky over Qingshan City gradually turned a pale white, like a piece of pure white silk being gently tinged with a faint pink.

The first snow of the year has quietly arrived.

The snowflakes, like goose feathers, gently drifted down from the sky.

Fang Yu got up early and stood quietly on the roof, her gaze fixed firmly on the direction of the city gate.

At this moment, she was wearing an elegant white dress. The cold wind blew by, and the hem of the dress fluttered in the wind, which made her figure even more graceful and elegant.

At the same time, Xiao Jingqi, who had already mounted his horse, looked up at the snow falling all around him.

The image of that beautiful figure dancing in the snow involuntarily appeared in his mind, and an indescribable feeling of longing welled up in his heart.

His gaze slowly slowed and finally settled in the direction of Xishan Village.

Despite the great distance between them, at this moment, he felt as if he could clearly see the woman who haunted his dreams through the swirling snowflakes.

Thus, although the two were in different places, they seemed to be in perfect harmony.

They smiled almost simultaneously, their faces beaming with happiness and sweetness, as if they had truly seen each other.

Xiao Jingqi took a deep breath, squeezed the horse's flanks with his legs, and urged the horse forward without hesitation.

Horse hooves pounded on the snow, splashing up glistening snowflakes and leaving a trail of footprints, some deep and some shallow.

As Li was carrying a basin of steaming water into the house, she inadvertently looked up and suddenly discovered that Fang Yu had somehow climbed onto the roof.

She was startled and quickly put down the basin of water she was holding. She hurried to the center of the yard, looked up at Fang Yu, and called out, "Yu'er, it's snowing! It's so cold, why did you run up to the roof? Come down quickly, don't fall!"

Hearing Li's shouts, Fang Yu turned around and looked in the direction where Li was.

Her cheeks were slightly red from the cold wind, but a faint, warm smile still lingered on her lips as she softly said, "Mother, the snow is so beautiful."

Li then looked up at the snowflakes falling from above and nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is indeed very beautiful."

This wasn't the first time Li had seen snow, but she felt that this snow was even more beautiful than usual.

This winter, there was a lot more warmth than usual.

Fang Xin was already busy in the kitchen.

She brought the cooked porridge to Xin Fujiyan's room. It seemed he had been up for quite a while, but because he couldn't see, he kept turning around with his outer robe, unable to put it on.

"Let me do it."

Fang Xin put down the porridge in her hand and strode in.
