After tossing and turning on the collapse for half a night, Qin Nanxi still didn't feel a trace of sleep. It was the middle of the night, and the snow outside the house was bright, and it seemed that it was snowing again, and the snowflakes were falling on the windows, and they were rattling. Xiao Fei, who was sleeping peacefully outside, snorted slightly. The slight sound in the silence is extremely disturbing.

Qin Nanxi had no sleep, and Situ Yi's honesty and his promise to keep her father safe had reassured her. No matter how turbulent Chang'an is in the future, as long as Situ Yi is there, his father and brother will be safe and sound.

She had no doubt in the slightest that he was saying. One is because she clearly knows that with his current status, his father and brother are powerless to affect his career, and he still bothered to prepare for them, even thankless, which can only show that his statement of repaying his teacher's kindness is not false. The other is a kind of trust in her heart for no reason, which is a very wonderful thing. No matter how much she hated generals before, no matter how many times she deliberately reminded herself that Situ Yi was scheming and annoying. But when the living Situ Yi was in front of her, she was inexplicably at ease. As soon as she saw him, all the defenses in her heart automatically relaxed, and her heart was willing to believe him.

Thinking about it, she was still surprised by her feelings, but the light outside the window was getting lighter, and she couldn't sleep anymore, Qin Nanxi simply got up, put on her cloak, quietly pushed open the door, and limped out.

In the small courtyard, it was quiet.

Although the pear trees at the entrance of the west chamber are all young, they can be seen to be carefully cared for, with straw mats wrapped around the wrist-thick trunks, and traces of pruning on the bare branches. After half a night of snow, the branches of the pear tree at this time have been covered with snow powder, fluffy branches, horizontally inserted in the air, Qin Nanxi looked at the heartfelt love, unconsciously reached out to touch it.

"Why do you still like to stand under the tree and watch? It's a pity that there are no pear blossoms to pick right now! Behind him, Situ Yi's voice suddenly came, and his words were still full of smiles.

Qin Nanxi turned around in surprise and saw Situ Yi coming out of the cross-garden. I saw that he was dressed neatly and tightly, his vigorous hair was only loosely tied on the top, his forehead was still covered with fine beads of sweat, and his whole body was steaming, and he came forward with a smile and asked her: "I'm used to getting up early to practice martial arts, did I wake you up?" ”

Qin Nanxi bowed slightly, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "No, I came out to see that this pear tree is particularly beautiful when it is stained with snow." After that, seeing that he was also staring at Ning Xue's pear branch standing beside him, he was inexplicably cordial in his heart, and cared about him: "You still have injuries on your body, practice martial arts like this, how can it be good if it hinders the newly healed wounds?" ”

"The wound is in the left shoulder, and the right hand is not in the way." Situ Yi looked indifferent, turned his head and looked down at her feet, and joked: "I thought you were standing barefoot under the tree again!" It seems that you are a little more savvy than you were when you were a child. It's just a pity that there are only snowflakes on the tree now, and even if I can pick them, I can't keep them. Why don't you let it be on the tree this time? ”

Childhood? Standing barefoot under a tree? Qin Nanxi was stunned, and the smile that Situ Yi always made her feel familiar in front of her finally because of his joke, like a sharp arrow, carried ten years of time, pierced through the haze of memory with one blow, and nailed her to the twilight of ten years ago.

In the early morning of that year, the little Qin Nanxi escaped from the strange girl and the strange boudoir, and fled to the begonia tree at the back door of the Qin Mansion. She knew that her adoptive mother Yunzhen loved begonia flowers the most, and a few days ago, she had praised this begonia flower for blooming well. Qin Nanxi waited hard under the tree, waiting for her, waiting for her to take her back to Yunxiu Valley in Cuiwei Mountain.

It was a late spring morning, still cold, the dewdrops were moist and the soil was extremely cold, and the bare feet stood on it, and the cold was rushing to my heart. Overhead, the begonias at the tips have seen decay, and a dark red lump of carmine falls on the branches. Qin Nanxi tiptoed, no matter how hard she tried to reach for it, her fingertips were still separated from the flower......

After a long time of trance, Qin Nan stared at Situ Yi and asked, "You, are you Brother Muyun?" ”。 But I sighed secretly in my heart, yes, the hazel eyes, the corners of the eyes and lips with a smile forever....... it turned out that the déjà vu when they met in the mountain building was not an illusion, it was really not the first time they met in their lives.

"You remember!" Situ Yi seemed very surprised, and then sighed happily: "You were only seven years old that year, and after ten years, I thought you had forgotten everything." You remember! ”

"How could you be, it's Brother Muyun?" Qin Nanxi had a strange melancholy in her heart, as if she had known that he was him, but she had forgotten that he should be him.

Situ Yi on the other side was completely unconscious, only shrugged his shoulders and smiled warmly: "At that time, I was about to go on an expedition with my late father, and I went to bid farewell to Mr. before leaving." Unfortunately, he refused to see me, sir. I kept it for three days, and finally I saw you standing barefoot under the tree, crying in a hurry when you couldn't pick the flowers! ”

Qin Nanxi suddenly remembered the young man who stood at the back door of Qin's mansion and waited for something wholeheartedly. He spent the whole day playing with her, picking flowers for her, making garlands for her, and knotting long pieces of grass into ropes and weaving her into a pair of oddly shaped little shoes. He wiped away her tears and made her laugh. That, is the first person in her life, except for Brother Xu, who plays with her, and he is even more patient and delicate than Brother Xu.

Qin Nanxi suddenly realized at this time that Situ Yi in front of him was the famous Tayan general, but he was still the gentle and patient Brother Muyun who always had a smile on his eyebrows and eyes. She only felt a sour look in her eyes, and she muttered for a long time: "You, your name is obviously Situ Yi, why do you want to tell me that your name is Mu Yun?" ”

Situ Yi was obviously stunned when he heard the word "Muyun", and looked back at Qin Nanxi, a strange sadness flashed in his eyes, he seemed to be considering the words, and it took a long time to respond: "That's because it's because of my mother." ”

"Your mother?" Qin Nanxi couldn't help but get closer to him, and said strangely with his chin up. About Situ Yi's biological mother, almost no one mentions it.

"My mother's name is Ikhda, and if translated into Chinese, it is: a free shepherd girl." Situ Yi paused, raised his eyes to look at the gradually brighter light in the sky, and continued: "My mother hopes that I have more freedom than hers. She is shepherding sheep in the vast pastures, and I am grazing the white clouds in the endless sky. Situ Yi's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of waking up his sleeping memory.

"Your mother is not Han?" Qin Nanxi tilted her head and stared at him with serious and sincere questioning, but when she saw the sudden sorrow surging in his eyes, she immediately regretted it.

Situ Yi raised his head to meet Qin Nanxi's apologetic eyes. Slightly stunned, he nodded calmly, and after that, the warm smile she was used to seeing floated to the corners of his eyes and mouth.

"Why didn't you tell me you were him!" Qin Nanxi resented him a little.

Situ Yi turned around and just wanted to speak, when he heard the door of the east wing squeak open, and A Luo walked out.

Ah Luo went down the steps, walked up to the two, and saluted respectfully. got up and said to Qin Nanxi: "I'll come and see if Miss Su has gotten up, if she gets up, please ask the girl to go over and talk about it." ”

After hearing this, Qin Nanxi nodded politely, and glanced at Situ Yi with some hesitation in his eyes.

Situ Yi ignored her hesitation, and only smiled at A Luo and said, "With Ruoqing's temperament, I must be going to Tianfeng Ridge today, right?" ”

Ah Luo pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and acknowledged.

"It's okay, everyone can rest assured that you can find the person you are looking for as soon as possible." Situ Yi turned to Qin Nanxi and said, while supporting her and going to the east chamber.

When he reached the eaves, he let go of her. Seeing this, Ah Luo hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"You're not going with me?" Qin Nanxi turned around and subconsciously pulled his cuffs.

Situ Yi stopped and said with a light smile: "It's not difficult to find someone, it's not easy to say, after all, it's been ten years, and I relayed it yesterday, those trivial things, I naturally don't know, presumably Ruoqing has some questions that you need to answer personally, you can answer them carefully." I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you. With that, he thoughtfully owed a debt and turned to leave.
