I wish you eternal life

What exactly is going on?

The further she walked into the forest, the dimmer the light inside became, and even the surrounding air became more silent.

The moonlight was mottled and scattered on the ground through the branches and leaves, indistinct.

When she reached the depths of the forest, she found that there was actually a yard inside.

When was this yard built?

I remember that I often came here to play when I was a child, but I didn't find it.

Yuan Ziyi looked up and saw a plaque above the courtyard, which said "Yiyun Garden".

A lot of colorful bougainvillea are planted in front of the garden, and the bougainvillea is wrapped around the plaque and stretches all the way. The breeze blows gently, it is really beautiful, and even exudes a faint fragrance.

Yuan Ziyi took a step forward and found a lock hanging there. The lock was open at this time, as if someone had entered it.

Could it be that the black shadow ran here to hide?Otherwise, why is there no sign of him in the forest?

Yuan Ziyi took a deep breath, boldly pushed the garden away.

Flowers are still planted in the garden, but the flowers inside are completely different from those outside, they are all epiphyllum.

Although there is no light inside, everything inside can still be seen by the bright moonlight tonight.

So beautiful!

Yuan Ziyi couldn't help sighing inwardly.

But after looking around carefully for a week, I found that there was no one there at all, and it seemed that I was worrying too much.

If I didn't guess wrong, this should be the base where the Zou family temporarily planted flowers, and they will be transplanted outside after they are planted.

Since there is nothing to see, let's go back to the room and rest.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a crisp voice suddenly came from beside her, "Hey, aren't you the Miss Yuan who came to visit today? Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

Yuan Ziyi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and found a girl about his age standing beside her.

The woman is very handsome, with a breath of admiration in her gestures, and a pink ribbon around her neck.A small epiphyllum was embroidered on the top of the ribbon.

Who is she?
Taking a closer look at her facial features, he suddenly found that she seemed somewhat similar to Zhong Qiaoying.

How come I've never seen her before?
Could it be that he appeared in the Zou family in the next two or three years?
I found that as a woman, even I was attracted by her beauty.

Although she looks similar to Zhong Qiaoying, in comparison, she is more temperamental and gentle than Zhong Qiaoying.

Yuan Ziyi smiled awkwardly, "I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out for a walk. Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I'm a servant in Negative Cloud Garden."

maid?Is there a servant as beautiful as her?
And she doesn't look like a servant in this outfit.

Yuan Ziyi remembered that the Zou family's gardener had always been Uncle Lin in his early 50s. When did there become such a woman?
It seemed to see her doubts.The woman went on to say, "I just came to study for a short time. I don't know much about arranging flowers and plants. Now I am learning from Uncle Lin."

Her voice was light and gentle, just like a bird in the woods, and Yuan Ziyi's tense mood instantly relaxed a lot.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept?"

"Because I'm going out at night to take care of epiphyllum. Everyone knows that epiphyllum blooms only at night, so this is the time when we need it the most."

No one appreciates the blooming, so what else is there to take care of?I really don't understand who made such a request.

Master Zou?
Isn't this the same as making things difficult for others?

Getting up in the middle of the night to work is really hard work.

Yuan Ziyi glanced around and found a box of pine flower cakes in the pavilion next to it.

Seeing her eyes, the woman smiled slightly and said, "Miss Yuan, are you hungry? It just so happens that I have some pine flower cakes here. If you don't mind, let's eat them first."

When it came to eating, Yuan Ziyi really felt his stomach growling, so he nodded heartily and said, "Okay, then I'll be more polite."

As she spoke, she walked over to pick up the plate and gently picked up a piece of cream and put it in her mouth.

Wow!So sweet.

Silky smooth in the mouth, it is extremely relaxing to eat.

It has been a long time since I have eaten such a delicious Songhua cake.This level has never been attempted outside.

Yuan Ziyi asked while eating; "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Zhong Jingyun."

"Zhong Jingyun? Is your surname Zhong too?"

"Yeah, is there anything strange?"

Yuan Ziyi smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, it's just that someone I know also has the surname Zhong, and he's somewhat similar to you."

Zhong Jingyun chuckled: "The person you are talking about is not Zhong Qiaoying!"

"You know her?" Yuan Ziyi was taken aback.

Zhong Jingyun said bluntly: "She is my half-sister."

"Sister? Besides Zhong Xinyu's half-sister, why haven't I heard that she has a younger sister?"

"Because I was weak and sick, I was sent to a foreign country for medical treatment when I was very young, so I lived separately from her and didn't come back until the next two years."

"Since she is Miss Zhong's family, why did she come to Zou's family now?"

"Because planting flowers has always been my hobby. I begged Master Zou to give me this opportunity."

Yeah?Yuan Ziyi felt strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell where the strange thing was.

Since she is Zhong Qiaoying's younger sister, she should know about her relationship with Zhong Qiaoying, but why does Zhong Jingyun seem to not mind at all and get along with her friendly?

Yuan Ziyi originally wanted to mention Zhong Qiaoying again, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

Maybe some people just let things go, and there is nothing to mention, let alone where Zhong Qiaoying is now, and she didn't ask herself.After only knowing that incident, she disappeared.

Since Zhong Jingyun grew up abroad, the relationship with Zhong Qiaoying must not be very close.

Yuan Ziyi went to get the second piece after eating Songhua Cake, but accidentally touched Zhong Jingyun's slender little hand.

Suddenly the piercing coldness came over, and she subconsciously frowned slightly.

This hand...is too cold!
It's so cold that there is almost no temperature at all!
Kind of like... dead man's hand!
At this time, Zhong Jingyun smiled at her awkwardly, took her hand back and said, "I'm sorry, I have been in poor health since I was a child, and my anemia is serious, so my hands and feet are cold all year round."

No matter how cold a normal person's hands are, it is impossible for them to be as cold as ice cubes. This is obviously too much for her.

Yuan Ziyi looked at her quietly again, and found that under the moonlight, her face was extremely pale, so pale that there seemed to be no trace of blood.
