Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then turned around, "Who is it?"
The door opened, and Xiang'er stood outside with a red face, embarrassed, "Miss, Master, I...I didn't see anything!"
Seeing her hastily denying expression, Xiaoxiao burst into laughter. Seeing Duan Zifei, she was not shy at all and was sitting there very calmly. She waved to Xiang'er, "Come on, Xiang'er."
"Oh," Xiang'er lowered her head in embarrassment and walked in, while Duan Zifei stood up, "I'm going to the study." After a brief explanation, he left the room directly.
When passing by Xiang'er, she lowered her head.
Xiaoxiao saw it in her eyes, and the smile on her lips deepened, and she pulled her to sit next to her, "Xiang'er, tell me, do you have someone you like? If so, I will kiss you on your behalf."
Xiang'er hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, really not."
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "So, Wufeng, Wuhen, or Wuyan, which one do you like?"
Xiang'er's face turned red as if she was dripping blood, and her voice was as low as a mosquito's fly, "No, no, Miss, don't make fun of Xiang'er."
"Haha, what's the point? It's perfectly normal for a man to love a woman. You should learn more from those two girls, Wu Shuang and Wu Shui. They are straightforward about what they want and never play around."
"Sisters Wushuang Wushui are all heroes among women. How dare Xiang'er compare with them? Not to mention that Xiang'er can't even envy a young lady who can receive the care of the young master."
Speaking of Duan Zifei, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile and said, "He's nice to me." A pretty face was filled with sweetness.
Xiang'er hid her face and snickered, and couldn't help but joke, "Why don't you marry the young master soon?"
"Marry him?" Xiao Xiaomi raised her eyes, automatically imagining the day when she became Zifei's bride, and then smiled shyly, "Then only if he is willing to marry me."
"Haha, who else can the young master marry if he doesn't marry the young lady?" Xiang'er tilted her head and looked at Xiaoxiao, smiling calmly.
Xiaoxiao dragged her chin with one hand, looked out the window at the pure blue sky, smiled, and murmured, "It doesn't matter whether he marries me or not. As long as I can stay with him and prevent him from being alone anymore, I
I am completely satisfied.”
Xiang'er smiled, held Xiaoxiao's hand, and said sincerely, "Miss, you and the young master will be happy, I believe in Xiang'er."
Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and smiled softly, "Happiness needs to be striven for by oneself. However, I believe that I will strive for more for Zifei, so much that he will be tired and unable to bear the burden."
The person outside the door was as quiet as a beautiful picture scroll. His delicate and refined face was shining with grace, and his indifferent eyes were still calm, but there was a touching smile quietly raised at the corner of his mouth. Because of this smile, he was too pale.
His face looked more alive, freer and more handsome.
He raised his eyes and looked at the silent blue sky habitually, "To me, you are my happiness..."
****
Xiaoxiao rushed back to the room like a gust of wind, took out Xiaotian who was sleeping dazedly from under the quilt, and said with great sincerity, "Xiaotian, can you help me?"
Xiaotian stared at her in annoyance, "What a sin, you must wake me up from my nap? It was like this when I was a guardian spirit. Now that you are a mouse as you wish, you are still like this? Sister, how did I offend you?
Are you here?"
Xiaoxiao didn't listen to its complaints and said with a serious face, "Xiaotian, don't you have a chance to use your spiritual power once every day?"
Xiaotian immediately squinted at her warily, "What do you want to do? I said that spiritual power cannot be abused at will."
Xiaoxiao said cautiously, "It's urgent! I just found out that today is Zifei's birthday, but Wufeng said that it was his taboo, he didn't want to think about it, and they didn't dare to mention it. I don't know what happened to him.
, what unpleasant experiences have I had, I just want to heal these wounds and turn this day into a day that he will never forget!"
The round little eyes closed again and again. Xiaoxiao picked up its long tail and kept swinging it around, begging, "Oh, Xiaotian, you are the best, just help me!"
"Stop! Stop!" Xiaotian broke away dizzily, glared at her, and said reluctantly, "Just this once."
"Oh, great! Xiaotian, I knew you were the best!" Xiaoxiao held Xiaotian in her arms and kissed it. Xiaotian kept wiping it with her paws in disgust, "You're doing evil, you're so evil
Can women be more normal? Okay, tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Hey, I want..."
Duan Zifei seemed to be very busy all day long. He was always locked in the study and no one was allowed to disturb him. Everyone knew that it was the deliberate intention of the master of the pavilion.
But Xiaoxiao was the only one who was busy going back and forth mysteriously. When I asked her something, she didn't say anything.
At night, everything was quiet except for the occasional croaking of frogs in the pond. In the dark room, Duan Zifei sat in front of the window. On the only day of the year, he let his thoughts return to today several years ago.
As far as the eye can see, there is endless red.
Blood, blood everywhere. In the pool of blood, there were all his closest relatives. He crawled all the way in a daze, until his little body was dyed red, and then he grabbed his mother's hand in the blood. Except for the coldness, he could no longer feel anything.
There are only other memories left...
That day was his birthday.
Slowly, he closed his surging eyes, and a trace of sadness spread from the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and turned towards the door, with a chilling look in his eyes. He had ordered that no one be allowed to approach, and everyone following him knew it.
So……
The willow leaves turning between the fingers were ready to go at that moment.
The door was quietly pushed open, and a figure with his head peeking out sneaked in. Seeing her, he hurriedly held back the willow leaf that was about to let go, frowned, and his heart skipped a beat in vain.
Today, he was disturbed by so many emotions that he lost his usual calmness and judgment. Just a little bit away, he would make the biggest mistake in his life...
Taking a deep breath, he stood up. Before he could speak, he heard a snap of his fingers. Then, a strange candle appeared out of thin air, followed by two, three...
He didn't come back to his senses until the whole room was brightly illuminated by candlelight, reflecting Xiaoxiao's smile.
"Zifei, happy birthday!"
Xiaoxiao was amazingly beautiful tonight. She put on gorgeous clothes and had the most perfect smile, standing in the center surrounded by floating candlelight, like stars holding the moon.
"Every candle here represents Zifei's birth year, from one to twenty-three years old, they are all here!"
She smiled and looked at him for a moment, "So, you just need to remember every year starting from today! Also, I prepared a gift..." Her smile was bright and moving, and she pointed at herself
, "I give myself to you. I wonder if you like it?"
Duan Zifei's hands slowly tightened, and his slightly closed eyes trembled. Suddenly, a figure passed by, and the next second, he had hugged the person in the candlelight tightly.
