Perhaps because he was often hit by Xin Yue, Chu Zhiling suppressed the joy rising in his heart and asked cautiously: "Is it warmer?"

Xin Yue nodded and smiled softly.

The wind blew gently, and the fragrance of sandalwood filled the air.

"I'll keep your hands warm for the rest of my life, okay?"

Xin Yue pursed her lips, and the room suddenly fell into silence. She didn't speak for a long time.

Chu Zhiling's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly felt extremely discouraged.

He worked hard, but couldn't get any results. She still treated him coldly and indifferently.

Maybe some people are just not meant for each other. For example, no matter what he does to him, she is unwilling to accept it.

Chu Zhiling's eyes became a little empty and cold. He was holding her hand, but now he felt that her skin was too slippery and he couldn't hold it.

Why are you so cruel to him?

Chu Zhiling's hands dropped weakly, and her silence chilled his heart.

Suddenly, a small head came over and rested its head on his shoulder. Chu Zhiling was stunned, as if he had never thought that Xin Yue would be so docile to him.

"Chu Zhiling, it's been a long time since I trusted someone. Don't let me down."

As soon as Chu Zhiling lowered his head, he could see Xin Yue's long and smooth hair, which was as black as brocade. Several bamboos planted next to the house were swaying in the wind, and between his breaths, there was a breath that seemed to carry

The fragrance of warm jade.

"Sister, this way, this way."

The child's thin and soft voice echoed in the air. Xin Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled, handsomely picked up a small ball with his feet and pushed it out with his knees.

The child's eyes were fixed on Qiu, and he pounced hard, fully expecting that the ball would reach his arms, but unexpectedly it missed again.

Xin Yue crossed his chest and smiled condescendingly: "Tazawa Nana, can't you catch my ball once?"

The five-year-old child named Tazawa Nana flattened his lips in frustration again. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said pitifully: "Sister, you'd better push the swing for me. I don't know how to play with this."

"You're not really a girl, are you?" Xin Yue bent down and pinched Tazawa Nana's chubby little cheeks, "It's really nerve-wracking that you're still swinging on the swing."

Tazawa Nana pulled Xin Yue's clean and slender fingers away and said shamelessly: "I just want to swing, good sister."

"This..." Xin Yue wiped his sweat and looked at the child speechlessly.

Seeing that Xin Yue still didn't agree, Tazawa Nana stretched out her small hands, hugged Xin Yue's slender legs, and said with a sweet voice: "Sister, I want to play, you push me to play, okay, okay?"

This kid...

"I won't do this next time. Don't let me do such pretentious things in the future, do you understand?" Xin Yue compromised.

"Okay." The child said loudly with bright eyes.

His eyes were rolling. Next time, just show off to his beautiful sister. He didn't believe she wouldn't play with him, huh.

Xin Yue didn't care about his little Jiujiu. He helped him sit on the swing frame and warned: "Hold on steady, don't fall down."

The child nodded heavily and grasped the rope tightly.

Strings of laughter were scattered in the air like beads. Under the blue sky was the child's clear and carefree smiling face. The wind blew through the wind chimes on the corners of the eaves, whirling and dancing, making a crisp tinkling sound.

After finishing the swing, Tazawa Nana pulled Xin Yue to sit on the long wicker chair next to her, tilted her head and asked: "Sister, you have been at sea for a long time, do you have any good stories? Tell them to me, okay?"

?”

"Tazawa Nana, can't you just calm down? Can't you go find someone else? Why are you always bothering me?"

"I don't like the servants. None of them can speak Chinese, and they are not interesting at all." He pursed his cute little lips, "Also, don't call me Tazawa Nana from now on, it seems so unfamiliar."

The corners of Xin Yue's lips twitched: "Are we familiar?"

"Sister, you..." The child looked like his heart was hurt again.

Xin Yue changed the subject: "If I don't call you Tazawa Nana, why would I call you? Nana? Grandma?" Xin Yue showed an unladylike smile.

Seeing that the child's mouth was so flat, Xin Yue interrupted: "You win, I will tell you a story..."

Xin Yue estimated that this child with such a feminine personality should also like feminine stories. She put her index finger on her chin and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she started telling the story: "Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl.

A mermaid, she lived in the sea, and one day she saw a handsome prince..."

Xin Yue felt a chill when he said this, and continued to tell the story of the mermaid princess.

"Brother, there has been another riot from the old Tang Dynasty in Hirado City recently. This time they actually want to attack the city and take Hirado as their own."

Chu Zhiling said as he walked: "When they want to ask us for help, you just reject them and say that I only care about business and don't want to interfere with the rest." He leaned into Chu Yan's ear and secretly asked in a very low voice, "Send

Ask someone to help them and don't let anyone know. If someone discovers it, you have to clean the Golden Dragon from bow to stern. There won't be a hair on it." His narrow eyes flashed slightly.

Pick, asked in a low voice, "Do you understand the seriousness of the matter?"

The Golden Dragon was so big that there wasn't even a single hair on it. Chu Yan broke out in a sweat. He felt terrible when he thought about how he would wear a pair of underwear and work so hard on the ship crying for his father and mother after the incident was revealed...

But Brother’s method of torturing people is really curious...

Chu Yan swallowed his saliva and wished he could make a military order: "I understand, brother."

After explaining the matter, Chu Zhiling took a walk behind the house.

I don't know where that girl has gone. She hasn't seen anyone for a long time and is even busier than him.

During the day, Chu Zhiling went to pick up goods from some merchants in Hirado or negotiate the sale of his goods. He was a little too busy. Now that he was free, he wanted to find Xin Yue, but he didn't see her.

"The mermaid can't speak, so the prince doesn't recognize her and doesn't know that she is the one who saved him. He just thinks she is beautiful and pitiful, so he takes her into the palace..."

Hearing the sound, Chu Zhiling focused his eyes on it.

Milky-white begonia flowers bloomed at Xin Yue's feet, and several clusters of pink sunset flowers climbed up the vines behind the chair. The fragrant fragrance of flowers filled the air, and the girl's voice was tender and tender, with the warmth of the Jiangnan water town.

When telling stories, the tone of voice is ups and downs, sounding like singing, which is particularly beautiful.

Her head is slightly tilted, her black hair hangs down on her fair neck, and her clothes are light yellow, which makes her skin as white as jade and flawless.

"Ah, why are you asleep, this kid?" Tazawa Nana's little head rested on her shoulder, her eyes closed, and her lips on her rosy little face slightly pursed.

She held the child in her arms and looked at his cute little face with a warm smile on her face.

Chu Zhiling was stunned. At this moment, Xin Yue gently patted the child's back, looking like a sister and a mother.

She seems to like children very much, and she seemed very happy when she got along with Tazawa Nana last time.

A thought crossed his mind. If they had a child, would she never leave his side for the rest of her life?

Thinking of this, the smile on his lips widened even more.
