Seeing Qin Min shake her head, Gu Beiyue hurriedly took off his outer robes and helped Qin Min put them on. Qin Min frowned as she hastily retreated, pulling away from Gu Beiyue by at least five steps. She didn't want it!

In fact, she had guessed that he would react in such a way, but he just had to give it a try. She was truly angry, but at the same time, she couldn't get angry. In the end, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Seeing Qin Min back so much, Gu Beiyue was momentarily at a loss. He knew he was in the wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong? He looked at Qin Min with a puzzled expression, and his hand froze in mid-air. Qin Min didn't say anything on purpose, she glared at him! Even more puzzled, he asked, What is it?

Qin Min answered, It's not warm, but it's not cold either.

Gu Beiyue paused before smiling. What does madam mean by this?

Qin Min ignored him. She tightly wrapped the cloak around the young man and turned to walk away. Gu Beiyue quickly caught up and took the basket from her hand with one hand, while holding her hand with the other. Only when he felt the warmth of her palm did he feel at ease. His palms were warm, but not cold.

Usually, unless something happened, Gu Beiyue would rarely initiate a conversation with Qin Min as long as she didn't speak. The two of them quietly walked towards the peak. The closer they got to the peak, the louder the sound of the wind became. After a while, snow began to fall from the sky.

Qin Min stopped, wanting to take off her cloak and give it back to Gu Beiyue. Gu Beiyue smiled faintly and said, It's fine, I'm not cold.

Seeing the snowflakes falling on Qin Min's head, he hurriedly helped her to put on the hood of her cloak. He first put on the hood of Qin Min's cloak, and then the hood of his cloak. Only after it was fully covered did he once again hold her hand.

Just as he was about to leave, Qin Min stopped him.

Just as he was about to ask, Qin Min pulled his hand and started scrutinizing him. From the moment he took the initiative to take her hand, she had secretly felt it countless times, felt the throbbing of her hands. But he had never really looked at his hands.

Gu Beiyue's hands were still as pretty as ever, long and smooth, with distinct knuckles. The lines on his palm were very few, but they were clear. Because he had been holding a pestle and making medicine all year round, there were a few calluses at the mouth of the tiger. He couldn't tell, but he could feel it if he touched it. Qin Min didn't say anything. She held his hand with one hand and gently stroked the lines on his palm with the other.

Gu Beiyue asked gently, "What's wrong?"

Qin Min remained silent.

Gu Beiyue asked again, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Qin Min remained silent.

Gu Beiyue shut his mouth and allowed her to caress him, not moving an inch.

Qin Min had a pensive look on her face. After a long while, she finally said, "Your hands are neither warm nor cold." Just like you.

Only then did Gu Beiyue understand that the person she wasn't talking about earlier wasn't herself, but him. He frowned slightly, seeming to be deep in thought. At this moment, Qin Min gently inserted her fingers into his between, and locked her fingers together with his.

Let's go, she said.

Gu Beiyue obviously hadn't figured it out yet, but he took the initiative and tightened his grip on Qin Min's fingers.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. When they reached the top of the mountain, there was a thin layer of snow on the trees. At the top of the mountain, there was a small courtyard. Everything in the courtyard was arranged according to Yan'er's memories. If someone who didn't know the truth came here, they might even think that there really was a pill refiner at the top of the mountain.

When Qin Min and Gu Beiyue arrived in front of Yan'er's tombstone, the snow that covered the sky gave people a feeling of inexplicable hope, as if they were waiting for spring to come back.

Qin Min took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the stone monument. She asked, Do you think his little Yan will return if there really is an afterlife?

Gu Beiyue nodded and said, "I will."

Qin Min smiled and said, "Do you also know about reincarnation and third reincarnation in your new life?"

Gu Beiyue said: "If you don't believe me, then you don't know where you've come from, or where you're heading back to." That person was truly a rootless duckweed.

So, believe it.

Qin Min immediately retorted, "According to what you said, the starting point and the returning path are all yours."

Gu Beiyue really meant it that way, he nodded.

Qin Min cast him a sidelong glance and said: "Preposterous!" When people came, they treated it as their parents, but when they went out, it would be another person.

This time, Gu Beiyue finally understood what Qin Min meant. His understanding of his past life and Qin Min's were from different angles. He didn't argue, and let Qin Min go. He chuckled. Madame is right.

After cleaning the stone monument, Qin Min walked to the edge of the precipice and arranged the wine and fruits she brought along.

A thousand years ago, Lone Yun Yuan jumped down from this mountain and sacrificed himself to the cauldron, becoming neither a human nor a ghost or a devil. He refined the cauldron for a thousand years and finally died under his beloved disciple's sword, leaving nothing behind. If he wanted to pay his respects, he could only come to this mountaintop.

If Qin Min hadn't come, would Gu Beiyue have been here to talk to his ancestor? Right now, Gu Beiyue was quieter than usual. He stood at the edge of the cliff for a long time, thinking about something. Finally, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Qin Min followed, kneeling down and kowtowing. It was because she was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, as well as the respect she had for Gu Yunyuan in her heart.

She stood up and turned to look at Gu Beiyue. In the midst of the flying snow, Gu Beiyue didn't even turn his head to look at her, making him seem like a person who had left the world. She asked, There's nothing left for you to worry about. Do you have anything you want to do?

She was afraid that Gu Beiyue didn't understand what she meant, so she purposely added: With Yan'er holding the Medicine King Cauldron, one single Cauldron is worth more than several Shennong Valley cultivators. You don't have to worry.

Restoring his zhenqi, Zhang Xuan could use the pills as a lifesaving and zhenqi boosting medicine. The importance of an apothecary was evident. And Yan'er, who possessed the Medicine King Cauldron, was without a doubt the most powerful pill refiner. Qin Min was telling Gu Beiyue that even if they took over Shennong Valley, there was no need to deliberately make it into their son's and daughter-in-law's support. It was time for him to do what he wanted to do.

Gu Beiyue seemed to have never thought about this question. He thought for a long time before asking, "Madam, is there anything you'd like to do?"

Qin Min was surprised, but she quickly nodded her head. Hmm, there were too many things she wanted to do.

Gu Beiyue replied, "Then I'll just stay with my wife."

Qin Min trusted him. She believed everything he said, so she was not afraid that he would not say anything at all. She suddenly turned serious and said, "Gu Beiyue, don't you regret it!"

Gu Beiyue was serious too, hmm.

Gu Beiyue waited for Qin Min to tell him what she wanted to do, but Qin Min didn't immediately say it. Instead, she told him that she would tell him when she was ready.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. They lingered a little longer, then went down the hill. It was a snowy day. It was hard to climb up the mountain, and even harder to climb down. Not far away, Qin Min missed a step and almost fell to the ground. Gu Beiyue carried her on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck, her face pressed against his back. As she listened to his heartbeat, she lost herself in memories.

It was New Year's Eve the year after the Ice Sea Change.
