Seeing Xiao Rong'er off was a matter for the Xu Family.

The Rong family had returned to peace, especially after they had finished their dinner. The room, which was bustling with activity during the day, was especially lonely. Father Rong drank some more wine and laid on the table in a daze.

While muttering the name of Xiao Rong'er, crying and laughing makes people feel uncomfortable.

Ning Yunyin helped him up onto the bed and watched him sleep. The night had already turned particularly dark outside, and the Xu Family had also returned to peace in the distance as the bustling day had finally come to an end.

Ye Jinsu sat on the doorstep, watching the clear and cold snow fall from the sky as night fell.

It was cold.

Ning Yunyin took out a cloak and covered her with it before sitting down next to Ye Jinsu. "What are you looking at?"

There were no stars outside tonight, and even the moon was a rarity. There really was nothing to see.

Ye Jinsu stretched out her hand and held it quietly in the air for a while. A thin layer of snow had already covered his palm. "I'm looking at the snow."

However, while she was speaking, the snow on her palms had already completely melted without a trace.

On the contrary, the new snow was getting heavier.

Ye Jinsu let out a puff of white fog, and leaned his head on Ning Yunabao's shoulder. He rubbed his hands and said, "Uncle Rong seems to be very sad."

Ning Yunyin grabbed Ye Jinsu's hand to warm her. She looked at the indistinct snowflakes in the night sky and said, "We can stay here and accompany him."

It was rare for Ye Jinxiu to not have any big reaction. She only calmly looked at the scene in front of her.

"Is this your request?" Ye Jinxiu suddenly asked.

Ning Yunyin lowered her head and glanced at Ning Xuemo. Before Ning Yunyin could say anything, Ye Jinsu looked at him and said, "There's only one request. If you mention this, you won't be able to mention another one."

In the darkness of the night, Ye Jinsu's eyes were sparkling. Ning Yunyin seemed to be able to see everything within a split-second.

However, in a flash, Ning Yunyin felt that she had seen wrongly.

"Think about it." Ye Jinsu rubbed her cheeks and blinked her eyes as she looked at Ning Yunyin.

Ning Yunyin lowered her head and approached Ning Xuemo. Her forehead was pressed against hers as she spoke with a smile, "You're really crafty."

Ning Yunyin didn't feel awkward at all. In fact, she even felt a little happy.

Ye Jinsu raised her eyebrows and looked at him, then turned her face to continue looking at the snow, leaving him to think by himself.

"Then may I ask what is your request?" Ning Yunyin asked.

Ye Jinsu pursed her lips and spoke shamelessly, "Then I'll leave it to you to bring it up first. I'll think about it later."

Ning Yunyin couldn't help laughing.

To his eyes, Ye Jinshu's unapproachable appearance was extremely pleasing to him.

He could only pluck Ye Jinsu's face, and suddenly looked at her extremely seriously. He whispered into her ear, "You know what I want to say."

The night wind was calm, and the snow fell without any sound, only a little icy cold feeling. It landed on Ye Jinsu's forehead and on her hand. It was still resting on Ning Yunyin's hair, on their interlaced hands.

Ye Jinxiu suddenly reached out her arms to hug him and said in a low voice, "I promise you."

"I promise you …" She looked forward to the moment when time would stop forever, "I'll marry you."

"I promise you …"

Ning Yunyin's eyes darkened. She reached out a hand to hold Ye Jinsu's hand, lowered her head and covered her mouth, which was mumbling incessantly. It was so quiet, so quiet that it was as if there were only the two of them in the world.

For the first time, Ye Jinxiu returned his respect for all of them, in the mouth of the flaming wind.

Ning Yunyin's chest was violently jumping with excitement that she had never felt before.

The sound of his breathing was exceptionally clear in the serene night. Ye Jinsu embraced his neck and mercilessly moved close to his ear, saying, "It's my turn to make my request."

Ning Yun casted a doting look on her face.

However, Ye Jinsu's eyes were clear and bright.

"Come back with me." Ye Jinsu said softly.

Ning Yunyin's brows trembled as she cast a sidelong glance at the person in her embrace.

Ye Jinsu repeated the words stubbornly beside his ear, her fingers grabbing onto the collar of his shirt tightly. "Promise me you'll come back to the capital with me."

The night wind completely froze at this moment.

Ning Yunyin didn't say a word.

Ye Jinsu let go of him and suddenly stood up and walked into the yard. When he came back, Ye Jinxiu already had something in her hand.

Ning Yunyin looked at the bird in her hand with a complicated expression.

Ye Jinsu held the silky smooth hair. With a glance, she could tell that it was a rare bird. Then, she reached out her hand to touch its leg. There were traces of a long rope tied to it.

Ye Jinsu looked at him and spoke with clear eyes, "Something has happened in the capital, right?"

Ning Yunyin looked at Ye Jinsu, and then her gaze landed on the bird again. The expression in her eyes was unfathomable.

"When did you find it?"

"On the day of the snowball fight, or even earlier." Ye Jinsu looked at him and spoke. On the first night she came out in a daze, she heard the cries of birds in the bamboo forest.

At the time, she had thought that the migrating birds had left her behind.

Knowing that it was snowing that day, she saw this completely different bird. This was absolutely no ordinary wild bird. It was not only because of its rare species, but also because its fur color had been taken care of so beautifully.

It was obviously raised by a human.

Ye Jinsu recalled that when she first arrived here, she didn't hear such a bird cry.

Ning Yun stood up and faced Ye Jinsu, "You're very smart. I was careless."

Ye Jinsu grabbed it and took a step closer to Ning Yun, "It's not that you were careless, but that you didn't care about it at all?"

"Ordinary birds leave right after they deliver a letter. If they fly away in the middle of the night, I would never be able to discover them."

"But this bird has been circling here for more than a month."

"You took every letter, but you never answered it. That's why it's always here, isn't it?" Ye Jinsu stared at him, her eyes burning with fervor, as though she wanted to see through him completely.

Someone had been contacting him from the outside, but he had never responded.

"Is this how you don't want to go back?"

Ning Yunyin's expression did not change. She only glanced at the bird and remained silent for a long time.

He never thought that Ye Jinsu would notice it.

After a long while, he lowered his eyebrows and retreated back into the house. He sat down and said, "Let's talk when we get back. It's windy outside."

It was snowing heavily outside, so much so that when Ye Jinsu stood in the yard, a thin layer of snow had already begun to fall from her hair. She put down the bird in her hand, tightened her clothes, and entered the house.

"What happened in Beijing?"

She had thought about what kind of information this bird had brought back, but it seemed like Ning Yunyin had been very good at destroying it. She didn't manage to obtain any clues at all. But her instinct told her that things were starting to change outside.

They were in a village with no news, and it was possible that they had already been turned upside down outside.

Ning Yunyin's gaze was somewhat deep. He looked at Ye Jinsu's anxious expression and softly said, "Father is sick."

"There's not much time left."
