On the cruise ship, Shen Ningsi and Huo Daiyu were very discerning. They simply enjoyed the singing and dancing on the boat and did not bother Yun Nian.

Wei Qingjue and Yun Nian stood side by side. He leaned sideways to block the sunlight. Today was a sunny day with a gentle breeze, making him feel relaxed and comfortable.

The weeping willows on the shore swayed in the wind, and their reflections were also wrinkled. The swaying waves seemed to be the thoughts of both people.

"I didn't expect you to come back."

Yun Nian spoke with a sigh. When she said "return", she didn't mean returning from Ke Luo or Jingshui Temple to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"I thought I hid it well."

He naturally knew what Yun Nian was talking about. She was talking about his rebirth, the blood, and the painful past.

"You can guess what I'm thinking at a glance, right? Then, have you ever thought that I can also sense your emotions clearly?"

When the scars of her past life appeared on her body, Wei Qingjue's eyes were filled with heartache, shock and regret, as if the painful past had reappeared before his eyes.

How could he not notice the strong surging emotions and eyes as complicated as hers?

"I failed to protect..."

"Shh!"

The girl tiptoed gently and pressed her finger against his lips, forcing Wei Qingjue to swallow the words he wanted to say.

"That's all in the past. It's not your fault. Besides, you've done it every time in this life."

The cunning and smiling eyes, the pupils filled with the brightness of the sun and the moon, in Yun Nian's eyes, there is only his figure now,

"I will never let go of your hand again."

"Yes, me too."

Lovers embrace each other, wishing they could be together day and night. Their strong love is far more intense and huge than any other affection, and they vow to be together forever.

Through the lowered gauze curtain, two sneaky shadows were revealed. Huo Daiyu looked out secretly like a thief, pulling his friend's body.

"Hey, look, are they kissing? Alas, it's a pity that I can't see clearly. If it weren't for the fact that your highness's reputation is so terrifying, I would definitely go up and tease them a little."

Shen Ningsi felt somewhat amused and a little embarrassed.

"You should see it yourself. Why do you have to keep pulling me? Besides, don't look at anything inappropriate. If His Highness finds out, I can't save you. Be careful that you will be caught by General Huo and punished according to the family rules!"

Hearing this, thinking of his mother's hot temper, Huo Daiyu shuddered, quickly retracted his gaze, and pulled Shen Ningsi back to the compartment.

On the side of the boat, Yun Nian was unaware of anything, leaning in the man's arms, but her ears were already red. Wei Qingjue gently embraced her, his eyes drifted across the fluttering gauze curtain, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Speaking of which, those stories describe kisses as so beautiful, but it's just two lips touching each other, what's so exciting about it?"

Huo Daiyu lowered her voice and asked with some doubt. She touched her lips, which were soft and a little dry. The feeling was no different from that of her own fingers.

"What do you think, Ningsi? Have you ever tried it?"

Her eyes naturally fell on Shen Ningsi's lips, which were pursed into a light red line, and her fingertips unconsciously fell on them.

It was so strange, it seemed different from her own, more... more what? Huo Daiyu couldn't say it, and she didn't have time to feel it carefully.

"Where can I go to try? You're talking more and more irrelevantly!"

The pair of thin eyebrows raised, Shen Ningsi slapped Huo Daiyu's hand fiercely as if he was laughing in anger, and leaned back.

"Besides, this kind of thing must be done with the person you like to have a special feeling. If you flirt with a girl like those playboys, do you think they will be slapped in the face?"

Huo Daiyu didn't understand why Shen Ningsi was so angry. She looked at her red hands and could imagine how much strength the other party had used. She didn't care, but she felt wronged for some reason.

"I'm not a man, and I won't flirt with other women. Why are you angry with me?"

The originally bright pupils looked at Shen Ningsi dimly and aggrievedly, just like a puppy that had caused trouble and lay uneasily in front of its owner.

Shen Ningsi thought of her father's efforts to urge her to get married, and then looked at Huo Daiyu who seemed to know nothing. She was confused for a moment. It seemed that she was the only one who was bearing such complicated feelings.

"You don't understand at all. It would be fine if you were a man, but you are not. You, you are such a blockhead!"

The anger made her pupils turn dark red. Shen Ningsi looked outside and saw that the boat was about to dock. There was no one here.

"Aren't you curious? Then I'll tell you."

"Curious about what... um..."

The soft body rushed over, the movement was so sudden and violent that Huo Daiyu reflexively caught Shen Ningsi's body steadily. Before he could say anything, his lips softened.

She was frozen like a puppet, her eyes wide open, as if she didn't understand what was happening.

Warm water drops fell on her face, flowed down her chin and into her collar. In an instant, Huo Daiyu's brain exploded.

The boat paused slightly, probably because it had reached the shore, and the person on the boat left mercilessly without even looking at her.

"Why……"

Huo Daiyu covered her lips blankly, following the departing shadow with her eyes.

Shen Ningsi hurried out with slightly red eyes. She saluted Wei Qingjue, nodded to Yun Nian, and without caring about her status, she got off the boat first.

"What happened?"

Seeing her friend like this, Yun Nian couldn't help but worry. She walked towards the boat and bumped into Huo Daiyu who was about to come out.

"Did you have a fight with Ningsi? Why did she..."

"Sisi, I'll talk to you next time. Sorry, I have to leave first."

Yun Nian looked at his two friends strangely as they left and scratched his head.

"What's wrong?"

……

"Alas, I heard that His Highness invited Miss Yun to go boating on the lake again."

"Oh, Your Highness, you are really something. Don't you have any other activities? You always go boating on the lake. What's so fun about boating on the lake?"

"You are jealous because you can't see it. I heard that there is everything on the cruise ship, including food, drinks and entertainment. It's enough to stay there for a whole year without getting bored."

"But it seems like it's been a year. Except when it's frozen in winter, you can always see the cruise ship appearing on Luochuan a few times a month on weekdays."

"The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, it's really pleasing to the eyes."

"But Miss Yun looks so weak and gentle, and the Regent looks like he doesn't want anyone to get close to him. Can they get along well?"

"Have you all forgotten how cruel the regent was? I think if Miss Yun really married into the palace, she would probably cry!"

Almost everyone in Luochuan City could see the scene of Wei Qingjue and Yun Nian meeting. Even a quick glance was enough to make people imagine a lot.

Besides, it's just talk.

"That's because you didn't see the scene of His Highness and Miss Yun getting along. During the Lantern Festival this year, Miss Yun took a fancy to the lanterns I made, so His Highness really competed with a group of men, won the largest lantern, and handed it back to Miss Yun."

"Oh, I remember that, too. Later, Miss Yun felt that the lantern was too big, so she gave it to His Highness. But His Highness was not angry at all. When those two looked at each other, it was embarrassing."

"Although His Highness is a bit cold and inhumane, I have also heard that His Highness previously killed corrupt officials who were not good to Da'an. He did so to make an example of them."

"Not to mention that when Ke Luo invaded before, His Highness and Miss Yun led the army to kill them, scaring the Ke Luo soldiers to death!"

"Yes, I've heard of that too!"

A bunch of people were still talking enthusiastically in the teahouse, but they didn't notice the bronze-skinned woman next to them.

Fuqiu played with the cup, feeling helpless.

"How long will they continue to show off their affection like this? They seem to be cautious, but they are actually making a big fuss. I'm afraid everyone in Luochuan City knows that he is in love with Sisi."

Song Yanga pushed the wine in his glass over to him, speaking in a nonchalant tone.

“Even if Wei Qingjue waits another year, Yun Nian is only eighteen. He can certainly wait. But little fox, when exactly are you going to…”

"Oh, wait, I can't hear you."

The silver-haired man could only smile helplessly and let Fuqiu fool him.
