I heard you had a white moonlight who died young.

"By the way, I heard from Xu Qing that Wu Bai and Lu Changfu were punished and put in solitary confinement. What happened?" Fan Zhiyi had not seen Wu Bai and Lu Changfu since returning to the school.

Bing Nandong did not reply immediately, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It is related to Qin Shuan. When the four of you went to the Xue residence together, Qin Shuan was confirmed to have killed his fellow disciples, and Wu Bai and Lu Changfu were suspected of failing to stop him, so they were investigated. There was no follow-up for a while, so I didn't tell you about it. The recent result is that they were punished with two divine rings and confinement."

Fan Zhiyi understood Bing Nandong's meaning: "You didn't tell me because you were afraid I would be angry if I thought the punishment was too lenient?"

Bing Nandong remained silent, and Fan Zhiyi grasped his hand: "There's no need to blame yourself. Don't attribute everything to your title of senior brother."

“Yes, it’s too late to say anything now.” Bing Nandong gave a wry smile and squeezed Fan Zhiyi’s hand back. “Good Bing, I knew you weren’t dressed warmly enough today.”

"Oh, the weather is nice today."

"Don't try to change the subject."

A cold wind blew by; the winter wind on this mountain was extraordinary. Fan Zhiyi shivered and huddled close to Bing Nandong, taking a step back and using Bing Nandong as a wind shield. Bing Nandong reached out and tidied his wind-blown, messy hair.

Bing Nandong is very busy, so the two of them are basically in a long-distance relationship, which is why Fan Zhiyi cherishes the time he spends with Bing Nandong.

Lately, Bing Nandong seems to have taken to writing letters to Fan Zhiyi while traveling. Even if there's nothing to write about, she'll still send a paper crane to Fan Zhiyi to record what she ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that day.

Fan Zhiyi accepted the letter, but since he lacked spiritual power, he couldn't reply.

Whenever Bing Nandong returned, he would subtly ask Fan Zhiyi if he had read the letter he had written. If Fan Zhiyi said he had, he would be overjoyed and would then tell Fan Zhiyi about some interesting things that happened during the mission, most of which were related to ghosts, which Fan Zhiyi enjoyed listening to.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the disciples of Tianyun Sect are saying that this year is strange because it hasn't snowed yet at this time of year.

The girls had somehow taken to making sachets. After school, since they had nothing to do that day, Xu Qing and the others insisted on dragging Fan Zhiyi down the mountain to buy materials.

Fan Zhiyi couldn't refuse, thinking that Bing Nandong hadn't been back for too long and had finished reading all the storybooks he had bought before, so it would be good to go and get some more stock. Besides, he was going with Xu Qing, so Bing Nandong probably wouldn't say anything.

Speaking of Xu Qing, Fan Zhiyi initially thought she was a cold and difficult girl with a mature and sophisticated appearance. However, after getting to know her, he found her to be lively and active, and she would unconsciously act coquettishly. No wonder Bing Nandong treated her as his beloved junior sister. Fan Zhiyi felt that if he had a sister like her, he might spoil her even more than Bing Nandong.

Looking back, Fan Zhiyi would never have imagined that he would become friends with Xu Qing after coming to Tianyun Sect.

While he was thinking, Xu Qing waved to him from the front: "Fan Zhiyi, come here quickly!"

Today she wore a pale yellow dress with a fluffy collar. Part of her hair was secured with a hairpin, while the rest was braided and placed on her side, making her look quite charming.

Upon hearing this, Fan Zhiyi left, and Xu Qing covered her mouth with her hand and quietly asked him, "Would you like to make a sachet for Senior Brother as well? Fill it with spices and amulets for good luck."

After all, the only person who knows that he and Bing Nandong are together is this junior sister Xu Qing. She is not a gossipy person, and since it concerns her senior brother, she needs to be more careful, so she didn't even tell her best friend about this.

Fan Zhiyi blinked, somewhat tempted. It was a good idea, but the key was: "I can't do it." He was clumsy with his hands and had extremely poor manual dexterity. Making a cat toy for Xiao Hei was already his limit.

Xu Qing tempted, "When giving a gift, it's not about how pretty it is, it's about the sentiment."

So, just like being brainwashed by a salesperson while shopping, Fan Zhiyi actually bought some things. Since he couldn't do it by himself, he basically had to ask Xu Qing to help him complete it. The finished product was okay, with a light flavor, but Fan Zhiyi's bow tie was really ugly.

Oh well, since I gave it to him myself, I have to accept it no matter how ugly it is.

As expected, he was ridiculed by Bing Nandong for the bow, but Fan Zhiyi discovered that Bing Nandong had tied it to the hilt of his sword that same day.

Fan Zhiyi had previously asked Bing Nandong if he wanted one since other people's swords had tassels on them, and offered to buy one for him. However, Bing Nandong refused, saying it was too much trouble.

It's still up now, isn't it?

Fan Zhiyi commented, "It looks strange to hang a sachet on here."

Bing Nandong glanced at him: "You don't understand."

Well, he doesn't understand. Bing Nandong is going to lead a new trend in Tianyun Sect, isn't he?

The next day, Xu Qing came to Fan Zhiyi and complained that her senior brother had changed. He would openly or secretly show the sachet to everyone he met. Because Xu Qing knew everything about Bing Nandong and Fan Zhiyi, she was the most miserable, having listened to her senior brother boast about it for a full half hour.

Fan Zhiyi was wondering what Bing Nandong had gone out to do after dinner last night. It turned out he had gone out to show off his love and attract envy.

With December approaching, the wedding date is drawing near.

Fan Zhiyi knew about this. Bing Nandong told him that the sect leader had suddenly moved up the wedding date and was asking for his opinion. If he was unwilling, he would talk to him again.

Based on past experience, no matter how much Bing Nandong said, it would be useless, so Fan Zhiyi agreed directly.

This was unexpected for Bingnan, and he didn't react for a moment. He just hugged Fan Zhiyi tightly.

Bing Nandong has gone on another mission. Even though their wedding is just around the corner, Fan Zhiyi sees Bing Nandong less and less.

Today, Fan Zhiyi was curled up in a recliner, wearing a thick white robe with a fur collar, reading a storybook. He had his feet on a small stool, a blanket on his knees, and Xiao Hei was sleeping on his lap.

The past few days had been cloudy, but now the sun was finally out. The winter sun wasn't hot, but it felt warm and comfortable. So Fan Zhiyi felt a bit lazy and thought that he had bought a storybook a while ago but hadn't read it because of the upcoming school exams. He figured he might as well take advantage of the free time after the exams to read it and give himself a break.

Just as he was engrossed in reading, the gate to the courtyard opened, and Fan Zhiyi, without even looking up, said, "You're back. You were gone for quite a while this time."

Bing Nandong walked over and bent down slightly behind him to see what Fan Zhiyi was looking at, and commented, "If only you were this serious when you were studying."

"I took it really seriously, okay? Do you know what place I got in this assessment?" Fan Zhiyi said with a hint of pride.

"How many?"

"Because of my special physical condition, I cannot participate in the assessment of cultivation-related courses, but considering all other scores, I am in the top ten."

“I’m number one every year.” Bing Nandong curled the corners of his mouth.

"..."

Bing Nandong praised, "Not bad."

It was unclear whether the "not bad" was praising Bing Nandong himself or him, so Fan Zhiyi gave Bing Nandong a look and then continued to immerse himself in his story.

Seeing that Fan Zhiyi was ignoring him, Bing Nandong sat down to the side, picked up a book that Fan had placed on the table, and opened it: "You seem to be living a very comfortable life."

"Life is about making the most of the existing conditions to live comfortably," Fan Zhiyi said, turning a page of his book.

Upon seeing this, Bing Nandong closed the book in his hand and said, "Let's go to Zuixianglou later to celebrate your good test results."

"Okay, wait until I've finished reading it."

As soon as Fan Zhiyi finished speaking, the book in his hand was snatched away. Bing Nandong stood up, knelt on one knee beside Fan Zhiyi, and looked at him, seemingly a little angry: "You haven't looked at me once since I came back."

Faced with this accusation, Fan Zhiyi felt a little guilty: "No, I didn't."

"Are storybooks really that interesting?"

“Of course.” Fan Zhiyi straightened up. “Take a look at that book on the table. I just finished reading it, and it’s not bad.”

Bing Nandong didn't believe in superstitions, but as the sun set, his eyes were red. Fan Zhiyi comforted him, saying that the stories in the novels were all fake and that he shouldn't be sad. He suggested they go to Zuixianglou for a meal.

Bing Nandong glared at him and turned her head away: "Why do I feel like you're coaxing a cat?"

"Nonsense." He was clearly using the same trick he used to use to coax children. His family, Bingnan Dong, is just sentimental.

Having not seen each other for a long time, the two naturally lingered together until late at night. However, in matters of the heart, apart from kissing, which was the most extreme act, Bing Nandong did not take any further steps.

Fan Zhiyi was quite open-minded. He thought it was okay for couples to do these things, as long as they took precautions. Besides, Bing Nandong was quite attractive, and how could Fan Zhiyi, a person who had never been in a relationship, resist for too long? He had hinted at it to Bing Nandong, but Bing Nandong's face turned bright red after she realized what he meant. She insisted on waiting until they became a couple.

Okay then, it won't be long anyway.

I was originally going to stay in Bing Nandong's room tonight, since Bing Nandong is leaving again tomorrow. He said it was his last task before the wedding, and he could stay and take care of the wedding arrangements for the rest of the time.

However, the plot of that storybook was so tedious that Fan Zhiyi promised to get up early the next day to take Bing Nandong to bed, so he quickly flew back to his room.

Actually, it wasn't that he couldn't take it to Bing Nandong's room to read, but considering that Bing Nandong was leaving tomorrow, Fan Zhiyi thought it best to let him rest well and avoid the two of them being together and affecting his reading experience.

As a result, Fan Zhiyi stayed up all night and couldn't get up the next day. Bing Nandong came straight to his room looking for him: "Didn't you promise to take me?"

Fan Zhiyi groaned, "I'm dizzy, I can't get up!"

Bing Nandong: "..."

Fan Zhiyi closed his eyes and hugged Bing Nandong's arm, which was propped up on the bed: "I've given it to you every time before, it's just missing this time."

Bing Nandong stared at the dark circles under Fan Zhiyi's eyes: "Is your storybook more important or am I?"

"Of course it's you." Fan Zhiyi was already quite adept at saying these flattering words.

So Bing Nandong kissed Fan Zhiyi's forehead with satisfaction, then kissed him back, before leaving feeling refreshed.

I forgot to mention that Bing Nandong really likes kissing, and I don't know if this kid is gifted or what, but now he can kiss Fan Zhiyi so much that he's completely disoriented and can't even tell which way is which. And after flirting with someone, he doesn't even offer any after-sales service. Is this how a human being should act?
