The bright sunlight shined over the entire forest, illuminating the quiet wooden house. A shallow stream flowed around the wooden house, and the sunlight shined on the water surface of the house. The sunlight shined on the place where the water met the lush green forest, reflecting the colors of Lu Li. The birds were singing on the treetops in the forest. A refreshing breeze was blowing, causing the green leaves to rustle and messing up Chen Feiyan's long black hair. Chen Feiyan walked towards the wooden house, gently pushing away the hair on her face.

After killing Wang Tong and taking revenge, Chen Feiyan and Chen Zhengnan moved to a place where their good friend Yuchi Xiang, who they had made friends with fifteen years ago, had found a place for them to stay. Chen Feiyan would also visit her mother-in-law from time to time, although she had already moved far away. Chen Feiyan walked to the corner of the cabin and called her mother-in-law loudly. Hearing that, the mother-in-law who came out of the cabin smiled kindly.

"Grandma, I came today to beg for food." Chen Feiyan said coquettishly as she held the old granny's arm.

"Grandma will be happy when you come. Granny will cook good food for you at noon." The granny chuckled, the benevolent smile on her face as warm as the sun.

"I just like the dishes Grandma cooks." Chen Feiyan held her mother-in-law's arm and walked into the house.

"Why isn't your father here? He hasn't been here since you moved. " the old granny asked.

"Him? "He's gone reminiscing with his old friend Uncle Yuchi. After so many years, I've never seen these two old friends of his have endless stories. They left me alone at home, so I decided to come over to Granny's." The house heard Chen Feiyan's reproachful voice.

"Don't blame your father. He's been alone in the wind and rain for so many years, and now he wants to find someone to chat with."

"Grandma, let me help you."

"Be careful."

"Brother Wen Qing has gone out to sell silk?" Chen Feiyan asked as he placed the basin on the table.

"Him? "I've heard him say that he has made a few good friends in Changan City recently. He went out very early today and said that he was going to tea with them at the teahouse, so he won't be back for lunch." said the old woman, peeling the vegetables from her hands.

"Oh." Since their revenge, they had not chatted and laughed together like before. If they met each other, they would only exchange a few pleasantries, but Chen Feiyan had said it in front of him. In fact, he didn't feel happy about it at all, and sometimes he realized Yan Wenqing was purposely avoiding him. Chen Feiyan continued, "Grandma, did he go out tonight?"

"Yeah, I was worried about him going out at night, afraid that something might go wrong. What if something happened and he called me a useless old hag?" "Do you think that the officials who bully the people will let him go? He did it for the good of the people, but the corrupt officials hate him." The grandma let out a long sigh, her face full of worry.

"He stole those corrupt officials who went to the King's Manor to extort their families. Now, those corrupt officials are tightly controlling their own homes. With so many officials of the imperial court having their homes stolen, it has already alarmed the Imperial court." Chen Feiyan said with a worried look on her face.

"I advised him that he always said that nothing would happen to him. Feiyan, you have to persuade him. Maybe he will listen." When the old granny heard about this, the worry on the face of the imperial court grew even more serious. "This is to punish those corrupt officials for the sake of the citizens of Chang'an, but they cannot throw their lives away."

"I'll talk him out of it." The worry and loss on Chen Feiyan's face made her look very heartbreaking.

At the door of the cabin, in the sunlight, a long shadow tried to get in.

"Lady Chen?" "Why are you here?" Yan Wenqing stood in the sunlight by the door, and from the inside, he couldn't see his face.

"Brother Wen Qing, you're back." When Chen Feiyan saw Yan Wenqing standing at the door, a trace of pleasant surprise blossomed on her face, and this happiness was magnified several times under the illumination of the sunlight.

Yan Wenqing walked over to Chen Feiyan, who had a face full of joy, and said, "Grandmother, I'm back."

"Didn't you say that you were eating with your friends outside today? Why are you back? " The grandma put down the vegetables in her hands and asked Yan Wenqing, who was standing beside her.

"My friend had something to take care of today, so I came back." Yan Wenqing replied. His eyes were fixated on his benevolent grandmother, but he did not notice Chen Feiyan who was staring at him.

"Accompany Flying Swallow Mountain. I'll cook dinner." With that, the grandma went to wash the vegetables in the basin with a smile.

Yan Wenqing and Chen Feiyan walked into the house one after the other. The bright and beautiful sunlight shined on them until they were as white as snow. Both of them walked side by side to the wooden fence in front of the wooden house. The water in the pool in front of them was sparkling. The wind blew over the water surface, causing ripples to spread out. A leaf fell from the tree onto the surface of the water, following the ripples of the water.

"Why are you here today?" Yan Wenqing looked at the floating leaves and asked softly.

"I came to see Grandma." Chen Feiyan's pair of watery eyes looked like they were lying. "A wave of awe-inspiring aura rose up from the water, blowing against her sky-blue clothes." When Yu'er walked away, she suddenly felt empty. She wanted to find someone to talk to, but she didn't have a pair of eyes looking at me. She said, "You can let me talk to him." A look of melancholy suddenly appeared on his joyous face.

"Didn't you have Uncle Chen by your side?" Yan Wenqing did not look at Chen Feiyan who was standing beside him.

"The branch is only the leaf's former refuge. One day, it will fall off and drift everywhere. What it needs more is to land on the surface of the water where it can float in the wind and waves." Chen Feiyan's eyes fell on the floating leaves. Her eyes were filled with hope.

"There will be a piece of water that belongs to it eventually." Yan Wenqing then turned her head to look at Chen Feiyan's face in the sunlight. That face was so delicate that it needed to be protected and pitied. "Miss Chen …"

"It seems that Brother Wen Qing has always regarded me as an outsider." Without waiting for Yan Wenqing to finish speaking, Chen Feiyan took over immediately.

"No …" "I …" Yan Wenqing spoke with some hesitation.

"Can you call me Flying Swallow?" Chen Feiyan stared at Yan Wenqing.

"Chen..." Flying Swallow … "I …" Yan Wenqing avoided Chen Feiyan's eyes. "I'll go and see if Grandmother has finished cooking." With that, Yan Wenqing lowered his head and turned to leave.

"Brother Wen Qing." Chen Feiyan held Yan Wenqing's hand, tears flowing down her pale, sad face, "Why do you always hide from me during this time?" Am I that scary? "

"I helped you with your revenge willingly. I have no other intentions." Yan Wenqing lowered his head and said.

"You understand my feelings for you, and I'm not repaying you for what you've done for me. I'm sincere and sincerely treating you." Chen Feiyan's face was covered in tears. In the sunlight, she looked weak and helpless.

The old granny was listening at the door, and it made her heart ache.

Yan Wenqing just stood there stiffly and didn't say anything. His eyes were so heavy.

"Is it because I'm not good enough? Is it because I only have a father that I can depend on? Is it because I don't have a safe home? "Why don't you want to be the surface I can inhabit?" Chen Feiyan's tears fell like rain. Tears ran down his face and fell on his sky-blue clothes, spreading under his shirt.
