" Lei Yuan... Lei Yuan..." Xiangli mumbled in her sleep. She turned around and wanted to hug Lei Yuan, but she didn't expect that she would reach for nothing. She could only hug the brocade blanket. She immediately woke up.

"Lei Yuan? Where is he?" Gege Xiangli rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around. She suddenly fell into confusion and thought to herself, Isn't this her room? When did she come back here?

"Lin 'er, Lin' er!"

"Ge Ge, what's the matter? Why are you shouting so anxiously?"

"Why…am I here? Shouldn't I be at Joy Red Court?"

"You're still talking about Happy Red Court? Yesterday was my nightmare! Fortunately, Master Lei saved me and secretly told me about the other small way out of Happy Red Courtyard. He told me to leave quickly during the chaos, or else I would be in trouble.”

"Alright, I was wondering why you disappeared the moment something happened to me. So you snuck away first!”Xiangli said with her hands on her hips.

"It's not like that. It's useless for me to keep it, and it'll only cause trouble for Master Lei. That's why I'll run first. Anyway, I think you'll be safe with Master Lei around. Right, what happened to you and Master Lei?”

"Then what?" Two red clouds suddenly appeared on Xiangli's fair cheeks. She lowered her head shyly. When she thought about what happened with him yesterday…her heart would still beat faster when she thought about it.

"What happened after he saved you? Where did you go? Because I just found out that you went back to your room to sleep this morning.”

"Morning? Then what time is it now?"

"It's already past lunchtime."

"Heavens, why did I sleep for so long?”Xiangli jumped down from the bed anxiously and walked to the bronze mirror in a panic." Lin 'er, come and help me comb my hair…"

"There's no need to comb it. Master Lei didn't come to class today. He said he had something to do today and asked for a day off.”

"What's the matter? Why did something suddenly happen?"

"How would I know?" Lin 'er shrugged and replied," But that's good too. You'll have time to write! Anyway, you didn't write it five hundred times yesterday.”

"But…I really want to see him!”

"You want to threaten him and tell him that you already know that he's in the Happy Red Courtyard, and then complain to wangye and ask wangye to fire him to take revenge for making you write, right? I was right!" Lin 'er said, thinking that she was smart.

"Am I that kind of person? I won't catch her pigtails!”It was too late for her to attend his class now. How could she ask Ma to fire him?

"Then who was the one who said that they would follow him and threaten him by finding his weakness?”

"Aiya! That's because I'm childish and insensible! I won't do it now."

Lin 'er looked at Gege Xiangli suspiciously, and Gege Xiangli felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze.

Gege Xiangli stammered as she asked Lin 'er,""Lin 'er, why are you looking at me like that?”

"There must be something fishy going on here!" Lin 'er had served Xiangli since she was young. She knew that if Xiangli was hiding something from her, she would always stutter when she spoke.

"What the hell! You're that troublemaker!" Xiangli avoided Lin 'er's oncoming gaze, stood up, and walked out.

"You want to lie to me? If I don't dig it out, my name will be read backwards!”Lin 'er said sneakily behind Ge Xiangli.

Xiangli Gege was strolling alone in the garden. The flowers in the garden were all blooming, but she was not in the mood to appreciate them at all. Because her mind was filled with Lei Yuan's figure and the scenes when she was with him.

She didn't have class today, so Xiangli Gege felt very annoyed. Even if she couldn't hand in the punishment paper today and was punished by Lei Yuan to write another 500 times, it didn't matter, because she just wanted to see him now and ask him why he didn't say goodbye to her before leaving.

Sigh! So lovesickness was such a bitter thing, even more bitter than studying!

Just as Gege Xiangli was feeling dejected, someone suddenly patted her gently from behind. She thought it was Lin 'er, so she turned her head away with a depressed expression." Lin…Lei Yuan?”

She didn't expect that the person she saw was actually Lei Yuan. The heavens had heard her thoughts. She had just thought of Lei Yuan when he appeared.

Xiangli was instantly overjoyed.

"Are you free now?" When he saw her, he revealed a rare warm smile.

"I didn't have class today, so of course I'm free!”

"Do you want to go out with me?”

"Alright, alright! I'll go with my Ama first…"

"Stop talking. I'll send you back before sunset.”

"Then what's there to say? Let's go!”Xiangli Ge Ge swept away the gloominess from before and what replaced it was a blissful sweet smile.

The time she spent with him was the happiest time.

Lei Yuan rode the horse, letting Xiangli Ge Ge sit in front of him. They galloped all the way to the suburbs. From the way Lei Yuan rode the horse, he did not look like a weak scholar at all. He was too good at riding horses.

"Don't ride so fast, I'll be scared!”

"If you're afraid, hold me tight. Otherwise, if you accidentally fall down, I won't have time to care about you.”

"You're not that kind of person. I know you'll definitely save me. Hey! You look so impressive when you ride a horse. Can you teach me how to ride a horse someday?”

"I'm sure he's awe-inspiring, but teaching you how to ride a horse is another matter altogether.”

"Stingy!"

They didn't know how long they had been riding until the voices gradually died down and the residents became fewer and fewer. Only then did they stop at a dream-like place.

"We're here. Come down!" After Lei Yuan dismounted, he helped Xiangli off the horse.

Xiangli looked around and found that the suburbs were full of flowers. Looking into the distance, there were thousands of rocks and valleys. Such good mountains and rivers were reflected by the lakeside, becoming a charming landscape painting.

"What is this place? She's so beautiful!" This was the first time that Gege Xiangli had come to this place, and she had fallen deeply in love with it.

"A place where there are only the two of us." Unexpectedly, Lei Yuan suddenly hugged Xiangli's waist from behind and tied her petite body tightly in his arms. "This is a place that only you and I know. No one else can find it.”

"But I haven't written it yet!"

"It's rare for the two of us to be alone. Can you not say such words to kill the mood?”

"I was afraid that because I couldn't hand it in tomorrow, you would have to write another 500 times as punishment!”

"Forget about it for now. Don't think about it anymore.”Lei Yuan bent over and lowered his head to kiss Xiangli's fair neck.

"Stop fooling around. It's itchy!" Xiangli laughed out loud at Lei Yuan's words.

"I want to ask you something. Can you answer me honestly?”Lei Yuan's relaxed expression suddenly disappeared and he asked seriously.

"What is it? Why did he act so mysterious?”

"Do you like me?"

"Is there a need to ask about this? Of course I like you, and I like you very, very much! Can't you tell? It's so obvious. Unless you're blind, you wouldn't know that I like you.”Xiangli said with her cheeks blushing.

"Then why don't you ask me if I like you?”

"Then do you like me?" Xiangli asked shyly.

"Hmm…although you're very straightforward and often say things that you shouldn't, you're always chattering non-stop. Logically speaking, men hate this kind of woman.”

Gege Xiangli listened to Lei Yuan's words as if it was a matter of fact. She had already raised her pink fist and was about to punch him. "You mean you don't like me? It doesn't matter. Continue talking!”

"Don't be agitated. I haven't finished speaking.”

"Then tell me quickly!"

"But…I suddenly realized that I like you too.”

"I'll spare your life. I won't hit you anymore.”Xiangli was instantly overjoyed when she heard that.

Lei Yuan suddenly hugged Xiangli tightly again. He hugged her so tightly, afraid that the time he spent with her would never come back.

"Why did you suddenly hug me so tightly?”

"Xiangli, can you promise me one thing? You must, you must agree." Lei Yuan said earnestly.

"Promise you what? Marry you? Isn't it too fast?" Xiangli came out of his arms and looked up at Lei Yuan.

"Remember what you said today. You said that you like me too. Promise me that no matter what happens, you must not have a change of heart and fall in love with someone else.”

"What's wrong with you? Why did he suddenly say something so nonsensical?”

Lei Yuan suddenly grabbed Xiang Li's slender shoulders tightly and said excitedly,""Xiangli, can you promise me?”

"Alright, alright, I promise you. You're so strange!”

"Remember what you said today. You must remember it.”

"Alright!"

Gege Xiangli thought to herself, I really don't understand what's going on with Lei Yuan today. He said he couldn't come to class because he had something to do, but he secretly asked her to come out to the suburbs and then told her some nonsense. Did he take the wrong medicine or did he not sleep well yesterday?

It was already past sunset, and the sun had already set. A bright moon hung high in the night sky.

Lei Yuan rode his horse and sent Gege Xiangli back to the manor. They had already reached the door, but Lei Yuan still couldn't bear for her to leave.

Because tomorrow, she would find out that she had already been betrothed by the Emperor to the Zhuan Wei Palace Lord.

"Lei Yuan, we've arrived at my house!" Xiangli said as she pulled Lei Yuan's sleeve.

Lei Yuan carried her off the horse." Although I promised to send you back to the residence before sunset, I really can't bear to let you go back."”

"Then why don't you come to class earlier tomorrow? This way, you can see me earlier!”

Lei Yuan was stunned at first, then he said with interest,"Then can you hand over the punishment paper tomorrow?”

"Can't you just not ask me to hand it over?" Xiangli said shamelessly.

"Alright then! Who taught this student of mine to be so coquettish? I think you should stop.”

"That's right! This is a good teacher."

"Alright, you should rest early! I'll stand at the door and watch you enter before I leave.”

"I don't want to go in if you stand at the door.”

Lei Yuan smiled." Then what should we do? We can't just stand here until dawn, right? You look like an idiot!"

"Actually, it's fine if you want to send me in, as long as…"

Before Xiangli could finish her words, Lei Yuan lifted her little face and kissed her gently before reluctantly letting go of Xiangli.

"This should be fine, right? If you continue kissing me, I really won't want you to leave again.”

"Alright, I'll go in. Then you should go back and rest early!”

"Yes."

Xiangli Ge Ge pushed open the door and walked in. She closed the door and secretly peeked at Lei Yuan, who was standing outside the door.

Lei Yuan stood there for a while before he led the horse and slowly left.

" Lalala..." Xiangli walked along the corridor, jumping and humming happily. She had just said goodbye to Lei Yuan, but now she was in a hurry to see him. This kind of mood was really contradictory.

"Miss, where did you go? I haven't seen you all day?"

"I ran out to play!"

"Run out to play? Why didn't you bring me along?"

"Why would I bring you there?"

"Take me to see what happened so that I can protect you!”

"Protect me? Come on, who was the one who ran away first at Happy Red Court that day?”Xiangli began to question him.

"Although I ran away, at least I helped you get help!”

"Yes, the reinforcements you got are really good! I have to thank you. Miss Lin 'er, thank you for your help!”After saying that, Xiangli bowed deeply to Lin 'er before leaving with a smile and light footsteps.

Lin 'er, who was standing in place, couldn't help but wonder," Strange. Didn't Xiangli Gege blame me for not saving her just now? Why are you thanking me now?”

Gege Xiangli thought about Lei Yuan all night and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. As long as she closed her eyes, Lei Yuan's shadow would appear in her mind. If she continued to miss him like this every day, she would definitely become mentally weak and become a crazy woman sooner or later.

She really hoped that the night would pass quickly and the day would come quickly, because then she would be able to see him.

Actually, Lei Yuan did not sleep well tonight. He was the one who had asked the Emperor to quickly bestow the marriage and match the Zhuan Wei Baylor and Xiangli Gege. Although he was a schemer and the situation was within his expectations, he was really afraid that he had made the wrong move. If he made the wrong move and Xiangli Gege and Zhuan Wei Baylor really got married, then she would forever be someone else's wife. In the future, he could only miss her in his memories.

He hoped that the heavens could help him and not let him make the wrong move. Otherwise, he would only live in regret for the rest of his life after losing Ge Xiangli.

Why did the night seem so dark and long?

He really hoped that she wouldn't come during the day, otherwise the Emperor would issue an imperial edict tomorrow to betroth Xiangli to the Dhuanwei Palace Lord.

Before the rooster crowed today, Xiangli Gege woke up early and began to write as punishment. It was rare that she didn't find a helper this time. She planned to write it herself and hand it to Lei Yuan personally. This way, Lei Yuan would definitely look at her in a new light and be pleasantly surprised!

She also knew what she meant. If the other party was Lei Yuan, she would be willing to say some gentle and graceful words to him. Even if she was right, she would not refute if Lei Yuan blamed her. However, a reasonable person like Lei Yuan would not blame her for no reason!

However, if the other party was someone else, it would be a different matter. Not only would she not say some gentle and graceful words, but even if it was her fault, she would also scold the other party to vent her anger!

Wasn't this too biased? But there was no other way. People's hearts were biased to begin with!

Gege Xiangli and Lin 'er sat in the study room and waited for Lei Yuan to arrive. However, when it was almost time for lunch, they didn't even see him. Instead, Gege Xiangli was about to fall asleep.

"Lin 'er! Did Master Lei say that he was going to take another day off today?”Gege Xiangli rested her chin on her hands. She was afraid that if she didn't use her hands to support her head, she would have fallen asleep and gone to play chess with the Duke of Zhou.

"I haven't heard of it!"

"Then why isn't he here yet?" Xiangli said weakly.

"Could it be that…he had too much fun with the girls in Happy Red Court yesterday, so he got drunk and exhausted today, so he didn't come?”Lin 'er speculated.

"Impossible!" When Xiangli heard this, she slapped the table with her hand. "If he dares to play, I'll skin him alive!”

"Wow! Ge Ge, aren't you being too violent? This is so scary! If Master Lei knew that you were such a person, he would definitely be frightened!”

"No, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously.”

Xiangli Gege couldn't see Lei Yuan and felt very uneasy.

Just as Gege Xiangli was feeling dejected again, his highness suddenly rushed in with joy. The Fujin followed closely behind him.

"Xiangli! You're really my precious daughter!"

"What's wrong? Ma, did you take the wrong medicine?" Xiangli Gege felt that today's Ma was so happy that it was a little inexplicable.

In the past, whenever he saw her, he would complain that she didn't know what a woman's language was. Today, it was raining red and he smiled and said that she was his precious daughter. It really made her feel flattered!

"The Emperor has finally thought things through today and has betrothed you to the Zhuan Wei Palace Lord.”His Highness told him the reason for his happiness.#
