When Yan Wuhuo fell into the memories of the past at home, he didn't notice that in the corner of his bedroom, a small figure was secretly watching him.

This small figure is only the size of a fist, and it looks like a frog, except that it is not a frog, but the royal family of the frog clan - the golden-crowned black-tailed frog.

Naturally, it is the night Rong that quietly follows the smoke and firelessness.

According to the memories of being here a few times, Ye Rong knew that this bedroom belonged to Yan Wuhuo himself, and Yan Wuhuo was not at home, so she had reason to believe that this young man who looked like he was only eighteen years old was very likely to be Yan Wuhuo himself.

Considering that she couldn't stay in this dormitory all night to observe whether this young man would turn back to being over half a hundred years old, after all, Yuan Xunshuang had also gone home, and it would be difficult to explain if she went to her room to look for her and found that she was not there.

Because Ye Rong had found it several times, that is, when she was sleeping in a daze in the middle of the night, it seemed that someone was talking to her, and when she woke up in the morning, she found Yuan Xunshuang sitting on the ground next to her bed, lying on the edge of the bed and falling asleep.

Seeing this situation, she estimated that Yuan Xunshuang had insomnia in the middle of the night, and then quietly went to her room, sat on the edge of her bed and said something softly, and when she was sleepy, she simply fell asleep on the side of her bed.

So she can't stay here for long, she has to go back right away.

Thinking of this, she had an idea, stretched out her front paws, silently recited a mantra in her heart, and then casually pointed at the young man in front of her.

I saw a small golden lotus flower pattern appear on the young man's neck out of thin air, and in this way, it was equivalent to Ye Rong making a mark on Yan Wuhuo's body.

Of course, this special mark can only be seen by herself, and the other villagers, even Yan Wuhuo himself, cannot see it when he looks in the mirror.

When she meets Yan Wuhuo tomorrow, as long as she quietly glances at his neck, the truth will naturally be clear at a glance.

After making the mark, Ye Rong hurriedly and quietly left the smoke and flameless house and returned to her own home.

As soon as she returned to her bedroom, changed back into her human form, and was lying on the bed, she heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from her door, obviously Yuan Xunshuang couldn't sleep, and came to chat with her again.

In order to avoid Yuan Xunshuang finding out that she was still awake, she also wanted to take the opportunity to listen to what Yuan Xunshuang would say to her, so she simply lay with her back to the door, motionless, pretending to be asleep, and deliberately snoring very evenly, her eyes were half-squinted, but her ears were listening carefully to the movements behind her.

"Click...... Poof......"

"Click......

As the door to her bedroom opened softly and closed again, there was a faint, slow sound of footsteps.

Ye Rong didn't need to look back, she could imagine that it must be Yuan Xunshuang tiptoeing towards her bedside little by little.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the footsteps to stop, and then there was a sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo", as if someone was sitting on the ground, lying on the edge of the bed and staring at her back.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ye Rong heard Yuan Xunshuang finally speak softly:

"Auntie, Shuang'er has come to see you again. Every time I can't sleep in the middle of the night, I like to lie down next to your bed and talk to you, saying things that I never dare to say to others. Because I know you always sleep at dawn and snore. So I don't have to worry you'll hear me.

"You know, auntie, though my father and mother left me when I was very young. But since I was adopted by you, I don't feel like an orphan, I have seen and remembered your kindness to me, and I have never regarded you as an outsider. Because you are completely my aunt in my heart, and sometimes I even feel that you are like my mother, the best relative in this world.

"In the more than 20 years that I have lived with you in Yanjia Village, you have never forced me to do anything that I am not willing to do. Even the marriage event that should be the words of the matchmaker of my parents, you have never forced me. Let me refuse all the people who come to the door, although some people have offered you enough food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you have never been tempted. You have never asked me why, and you have always embraced all my willfulness with your generosity.

"Actually, the reason why I rejected all the people who proposed marriage was not that they were all bad, nor that I was too high-minded, but that I knew that I was a person of two worlds with them. Or to be precise, they are mortals, and I am a golden-crowned black-tailed frog, just ask a normal mortal, who would dare to marry a woman who may be a monster?

"So, all these years, I've been choosing to say no. To tell you the truth, how much I love a woman with children, but I am single and still unmarried. Although I am a golden-crowned black-tailed frog, I also have seven emotions and six desires, and I also yearn for a happy marriage like a mortal, and I also hope that one day I will meet a man who makes my heart move, like a mortal, sitting in a sedan chair, being the most beautiful bride of the day, and then having children with my husband, growing old together, and forever married.

"If I want to fulfill this wish, I have to meet people who are not mortal like me, so that we can have a common language because of the same background, can accept each other differently, and be honest with each other without the slightest concern. However, this is the realm of mortals, and it is not easy to meet people like me. What's more, there is a county lord Daizhen who has always regarded me as a thorn in his side and always wants to kill me, and what mortal dares to risk offending the county lord to marry me after knowing everything about me?

"So I'm ready to die alone in Yanjia Village. I also feel that I will not be tempted by any man. However, just now Shuang'er was tempted. Shuang'er didn't know what was going on. It's just that when I saw him through the picture in the birthmark in my palm, I couldn't help but go to him. And after seeing him, Shuang'er's heart is still beating very fast, and as soon as he closes his eyes, he will appear.

"If Shuang'er is not mistaken, he is also like Shuang'er, not a mortal. For it is impossible for a mortal to wear such thin clothes, sit on the cold snow, drink cold wine, and be blown by the cold wind without freezing to death. There is no mortal like him who can absorb the ancient words in the moonlight through snowflakes. It was these extraordinary features of him that deeply attracted me, to be honest, aunt, Shuang'er was really tempted this time, but Shuang'er didn't know what to do next.

"Do you take the initiative to approach him and show your love, or do you just let it be? Taking the initiative to approach him, I was worried that he would think Shuang'er was a frivolous woman. But if you go with the flow, Shuang'er is worried that she will miss out on the good fate. Auntie, Shuang'er really doesn't know what to do, can you tell me what to do? Hey, it's a pity that you're asleep and can't hear what Shuang'er is saying, so how can you help me with ideas. But if I were to say this to you during the day, Shuang'er would find it really hard to speak.

"Auntie, Shuang'er is really helpless, hey, don't disturb your rest, Shuang'er is also tired and sleepy. Shuang'er also wants to get a good night's sleep. I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, I will be able to ...... Forget...... These troubles ...... Only...... Good...... ......"

Yuan Xunshuang lay on the side of Ye Rong's bed and said, his voice became smaller and quieter, and he soon fell asleep......

When she heard Yuan Xunshuang also snort slightly, Ye Rong knew that she was already asleep behind her.

So, he turned around lightly and looked at Yuan Xunshuang, who was sleeping soundly on the side of his bed, and felt distressed.

Although Yuan Xunshuang is not her daughter, in the past 20 years, she has indeed fulfilled what she promised Princess Yuanfeng, that is, she will treat Yuan Xunshuang as her own.

Maybe he just wanted to repay the royal family for their grace not to kill, and casually made a grateful promise.

But since she adopted Yuan Xunshuang, she found that this little girl is very well-behaved, Bing Xue is smart, and very filial, and has a benevolent heart that is difficult for ordinary people to have.

So it didn't take long for me to fall in love with this little royal princess in distress, and from the bottom of my heart, I treated her as my own daughter.

Looking at Yuan Xunshuang, who was twisting his body in front of him, seemed to feel a little cold, and slept very uncomfortably, Ye Rong hurriedly got up, and after getting out of bed, she gently hugged Yuan Xunshuang to her bed.

Then, she also lay down again, hugged Yuan Xunshuang in her arms, let her sleep more comfortably, and gently rubbed Yuan Xunshuang's frowning brows with her fingertips.

Perhaps it was because he felt warm and comfortable, Yuan Xunshuang's brows relaxed, and he continued to fall asleep deeply.

Looking at Yuan Xunshuang in her arms, Ye Rong seemed to remember something, and said softly while recalling:

"Child, my aunt knows that you are not having a good time, and she has to pretend to be very happy in front of everyone every day. You are in your thirties, and you are not married yet, and your aunt understands the bitterness in your heart. My aunt also empathizes with your concerns. Do you know, child, although my aunt saved her life and lived alone in Yanjia Village, she was also living a very difficult life. Every day, I miss my distant relatives and loved ones.

"Why would my aunt want to die alone like this? The big sedan chair you yearn for, the most beautiful bride, how can your aunt not be tempted. However, what you said is also right, we and mortals are people of two worlds, and marriage is like water and fire are incompatible for people in two worlds.

"My aunt was determined to marry your mortal uncle, but once his family found out that I was a strange frog, and they united all their relatives and friends to burn me to death. Saying that I am a goblin and deliberately confusing your uncle is actually here to kill them. Your uncle tried his best to intercede for me, but his friends and relatives did not listen to his pleas.

"In the end, when your uncle saw that I was surrounded by fire, he rushed in desperately to save me, but he did not expect his family to be so ruthless, and not only did not let me go, but threw more torches in, and finally burned him to death. When I woke up, I found that I was only seriously injured, after all, our golden-crowned black-tailed frog is not mortal, and the ordinary fire of the mortal world is not enough to take my life.

"But, your uncle, he ...... But it turned into a pile of ashes, and it will never return to me. I hurt your uncle! If I had understood this as you did, he wouldn't have died in vain because of me. Therefore, my aunt is destined to be lonely and old in this life, which is my aunt's retribution. But you won't. My aunt will never let you live this life as miserable as your aunt. Don't worry, if you really like fireworks, my aunt will definitely fulfill you. Sleep in peace, my aunt will always be with you, sing you your favorite songs when you were a child, and when you wake up tomorrow, it will be a new beginning......"

That night, Ye Rong held Yuan Xunshuang in tears and sang all night......
