  Unexpectedly, I recalled that several months ago, it was that one song of the startled swan's piano sound, he stayed overnight in the Returning Ink Pavilion.

  Suddenly, there was a faint sharp pain in my heart, spreading uncontrollably. No matter how calm I seemed, no matter how open-minded I looked, no matter how much I tried to convince myself, I couldn't help but think about it and care about it.

  My pride and carefree spirit, at this moment, seem to have fallen to dust. The thoughts I've been telling myself along the way, about trust, about how he was just pretending, have all become ridiculously self-deceptive.

  One dance, a glimpse of her shadow, had already stirred his emotions. Now, with the added similarity, the gentleness in his eyes was even more real. His gaze would uncontrollably fall on her, filled with a distant warmth.

  I remembered that painting in the garden, he moved it away and didn't let Du Ruyin see it, but it happened to fall into my eyes.

  But with just a few strokes of the brush, the people in the painting seem to be right before one's eyes.

  Bright eyes glance around, willow eyebrows like smoke.

  The painting is of Du Ruoyan, yet it clearly isn't.

  Now I know who the person in the painting is.

  That book is in his heart, not in front of him.

  She staked her life on him for a lifetime, and even if it was only six or seven points of similarity, it was enough.

  I lowered my eyelashes and hid the sorrow in my eyes, but I couldn't hide the deep sense of powerlessness that was almost too much to bear.

  "Didn't you say Eldest Sister is back? Where is she now?" From afar, the bright and cheerful voice of Yu Minglang rang out, heading in the direction of the Warm Pavilion: "Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister..."

  I hastily gathered my spirits and followed Mother out to greet them.

  "Look at this big sweat, are you back from riding a horse again?" His mother saw him walking quickly all the way, and hurriedly took the handkerchief from Bi Xi's hand to wipe his sweat, while scolding: "You're such a big person now, and you've been appointed as a general, but you can't control your temper, rushing around like a sudden gust of wind. When you arrive at the general's camp, will you be like this in front of all your subordinates?"

  She carelessly smiled and took the handkerchief from her mother's hand, wiped her face randomly, then handed it back. She looked at me with a smile and said: "This is not my fault, who let second sister come back so early without any notice."

  Looking at his bright and clean smile, the gloom in my heart seemed to dissipate a bit. I could feel that Mother was still watching me with a hint of worry in her eyes. Not wanting them to worry, nor willing to indulge in self-pity, I forced myself to suppress the turmoil in my heart and smiled faintly: "This is all because of me."

  "He raised an eyebrow and smiled: 'You said it yourself, you didn't even say a word about coming back early, leaving me unprepared and running out, now you're rushing back on horseback, what a hassle.'"

  "Then I'll go back and come over again when the time is right, okay?" I smiled slightly and made a gesture to leave.

  He knew I was just joking, but he still hastily stretched out his hand to stop me: "Hey, what kind of person are you? You don't even let people make a joke."

  I looked at his expression and couldn't help but smile. He also smiled, and his face was bright and clean, making people reluctant to look away.

  He suddenly smiled and pulled my wrist: "Come on, I'll take you horseback riding."

  I smiled and wanted to open: "What are you crazy about?" (Still remember the shocking swan's reflection (harem).../7/7517)
