Chapter 343 You're just being stubborn!
He immediately turned his face away, looking rather unnatural.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hey~" Hua Buyu nudged his shoulder, her lewd smile making it impossible for her not to be gossipy.
"Your mood these past two months has been no less than Xuan Yuan's, has it?"
"Go back to sleep quickly. I was too busy today and forgot to brew the medicine. Remember to get up early tomorrow and I will brew it myself."
"You don't need to change the subject. I know you've really missed Shuiyi these past two months, haven't you?"
"..."
"You hesitated several times, weren't you trying to ask Yan Yan about Shui Yi?"
"..."
"Oh dear! If you miss her, just say so. Why be so hypocritical? If you ask me, now that Yan Yan has been found, if there's any misunderstanding, just talk to Shui Yi face to face. Xie Cangming already said that it was your cousin Baili who gave the order. Maybe Shui Yi has some difficulties. You can't hold a grudge just because she took Yan Yan away and still not dare to face her!"
He raised his hand and touched the sleeping face, pursing his lips without saying a word.
"Xin Moling, say something!"
Hua Buyu became anxious and punched him hard on the back several times.
“…Go back, don’t disturb my godson’s rest.”
"Then why aren't you responding to this matter directly?"
"go to sleep."
She changed the subject again, and glared resentfully at Xin Moling.
"Humph!"
Hua Buyu suddenly stood up, but after taking a couple of steps, she turned her head back.
"Keep being stubborn! You'll regret it later!"
"..."
There was another moment of silence.
"...A guy with no emotional intelligence!"
The door slammed shut, and he sighed heavily. "Yan'er, what should I do?"
"Hmm~"
Xin Moyan let out a soft moan and lazily opened her eyes.
"Brother...brother?"
"Yan'er, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"
Xin Moling quickly helped her sit up and made her more comfortable by leaning against the pillows.
Xin Moyan felt dizzy and lightheaded. She supported herself on the edge of the bed with one hand, her face flushed red. She looked drunk and confused.
"Brother, I...I heard Buyu speaking?"
"Hua Buyu has gone back to sleep. Yan'er, would you like some water?"
"No."
Xin Moyan shook her head, then stared straight at him without saying a word.
"Yan'er, what's wrong?"
After a while, she smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling.
"Brother, you've found me."
"Ah."
Xin Moling gently stroked the soft hair, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Seeing her obedient appearance, he dared to believe that Yan'er had really been found and that the siblings were finally reunited. His heartache welled up in his eyes.
"Yan'er, you've suffered these past few days. I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not protecting you properly."
"No, no, no! That's not right!"
Xin Moyan shook her head anxiously, then sighed forcefully, mimicking his expression.
"Hey~"
"Yan'er?"
She closed her eyes slightly, feeling her eyelids drooping, yet her mind was inexplicably clear.
"I... Yan'er is useless, I always make you worry... But, I miss Xuan Yuan so much, but..."
“I know, my brother knows.”
He moved closer and gently put his arm around his sister's shoulder, letting her lean against him.
"Brother, I...I'm so annoyed."
Her nose stung with tears, and the more she spoke, the more bitter her throat became.
"If those three brothers weren't truly sincere towards you, Yan'er would never have agreed to stay here, much less try to gain their approval for Xuan Yuan. It's clear that Yan'er considers them family, and that's why she's in so much pain because of those guys' actions against Xuan Yuan, right?"
"Brother~"
Xin Moyan cried out in a daze, her eyes filled with tears. She had promised her father and mother that she would be strong, but she just felt so wronged and wanted to cry.
"Actually... I'm very worried about Xuan Yuan. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of that... that forest. Brother, I... I... I really..."
She was half-drunk, and the more excited she became, the more disjointed her speech became.
"Alright, alright, Yan'er, no, Xuan Yuan will be alright, he will definitely come to find you."
Xin Moling quickly patted his back and gently comforted him.
“I…I miss him so much. I’ve been waiting for him, but…but my older brother doesn’t agree. My older brother is a good man too, but it’s different. We can’t lump them together. My cousin is my cousin, my brother is my brother, and Yuanyuan…is Yuanyuan, the only Yuanyuan. I want to be with Yuanyuan, I…”
She gradually became confused, gesturing wildly with her hands in the air.
"Alright! Yan'er, it's getting late, you should go to sleep early. Xuan Yuan will come to find you tomorrow morning."
"Really...really?"
A glimmer of light instantly appeared in her moist eyes. She pursed her lips and immediately lay down obediently.
Xin Moling squatted by the bedside, gently touching her forehead and coaxing, "Brother will stay with you here tonight, okay?"
"Okay, goodnight, brother."
She grinned, showing her teeth, and then closed her eyes.
Xin Moling looked down at her own hands, her eyes overflowing with tenderness, and she squeezed those soft palms tighter.
And so, he sat on the edge of the bed, quietly gazing at his sister's sleeping face. This was the first time in many years that he had looked at Yan'er's appearance so carefully and attentively; at this moment, it was so beautiful...
Inside the Indigo Palace, the cold moonlight shone on the empty courtyard, making the place seem even more desolate.
Shui Yi sat under the tree, drinking alone under the bright moon. Her dark blue silhouette shone with a soft light, and her stunning beauty made her seem like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs. Yet, at this moment, she was filled with sorrow, her mind swirling with unspoken thoughts.
When he came over from the cliff, he saw this scene. He couldn't bear to disturb the beautiful scene of her drinking alone under the moon, but he also didn't want to see her too sad.
"Water Memories".
He spoke slowly, his voice as cool as ever, yet it wasn't hard to detect a hint of concern.
Hearing the voice behind her, Shui Yi quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to him.
"I have met the emperor."
"Yes, get up."
Just like in the past, Baili Juebi walked over and calmly sat down in front of her.
"sit."
"Yes, Emperor."
Shui Yi suppressed her complex emotions, picked up the wine pot, filled another wine glass next to her, and pushed it to the opposite side.
"Your Majesty, please!"
He lowered his eyes and stared at the wine glass for a moment.
"You still understand me so well."
"Even the Emperor understands Shuiyi so well."
She curled her lips into a smile, her bright eyes reflecting a faint chuckle, and continued.
"From childhood to adulthood, whenever Shui Yi was in a bad mood, the Emperor was always the first to notice. In recent years, the Emperor has also become Shui Yi's best friend."
"You are the same; you always prepare two wine cups because you know I will come here."
"But the Emperor comes every time, doesn't he?"
Meeting those eyes, more beautiful than the moonlight, his cold expression softened unconsciously.
Why didn't you show up today?
"It is a matter for the royal family to handle, and Shuiyi should not interfere."
"Oh? Really?"
