Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

I took a step forward and squinted my eyes to see more clearly, but unexpectedly the snowman also took a step forward.

I was startled and took a step back, watching the snowman standing still.

As he walked and moved, I saw golden threads on the snowman flashing under the moonlight.

A possibility came to my mind, and I ran down the stairs without any certainty, asking as I ran, "Sir?!"

The snowman also came over. It was Tu Shan Jing, who was covered in frost and snow, even his eyebrows were covered in a layer of white.

Seeing this, I quickly took off my outer robe and tried to put it on him, saying, "Sir, it's so cold outside, put it on quickly!"

He blocked my arm with his hand, put the outer robe back on me, and said, "No need to put it on me. I have spiritual power to protect my body, so I won't be cold. But you, you are wearing thin clothes inside, and you don't know how to use spiritual power, be careful not to catch a cold."

I grabbed his hand and said distressedly, "You still say it's not cold? Your hands are so cold!"

He stretched out his hand to fasten the belt of my outer robe, lowered his head and said: "It's really okay, I just forgot to activate my spiritual power, you see -" As he said this, a light blue light flashed around him, and the light disappeared in an instant. He raised his hand, put his palm on the back of my hand, and said softly: "Is it much better?"

I felt a warmth on the back of my hand, which was indeed much better than before.

I brushed the snow off his shoulders, then stood on tiptoe to wipe his eyebrows, my hands feeling a little wet.

He didn't say anything, just looked at me with his eyes lowered. His eyelashes were soaked by the snow, leaving a faint water mark under his eyes.

I asked again: "Sir, how long have you been here? What are you doing here?"

He smiled and said, "It's been a while. First I watched, then I thought about it."

I asked curiously, "What are you looking at? What are you thinking about?"

He replied, "First, I saw Fenglong coming out, so I asked him to send someone to find Senying and pick up some food for you. Later, I saw Senying coming, and the servant came too, so I took advantage of the servant's inattention to sprinkle some incense into the wooden barrel, thinking... thinking that sandalwood has a calming effect, and maybe it can help you get rid of some troubles. Later, I saw Senying leave, and the servant came and left, and the spy who was secretly spying on you couldn't stand the cold not long after you turned off the lights, and another person came and said something to him, and they withdrew..."

I was shocked and asked, "Is there really someone here to monitor us?"

He nodded and said, "It was the boy who was pushed by Yue Liang and fell. I think Yue Liang asked him to check it out, but he didn't find anything, so he left."

I remembered that it was him who tricked me into this trap today, and I couldn't help but say angrily: "Good fall! Good freezing! This evil man, I'd better freeze his ears off!"

Tu Shanjing smiled and continued, "Later, I thought that if Yue Liang asked him to check on him, he would never dare to leave halfway. Since someone came to look for him, it must be that Yue Liang was seriously injured and was in a hurry to leave the house to find a doctor, so he followed him."

I heaved a sigh of relief when I heard Yue Liang had left, and sighed, "So, I can sleep peacefully from the second half of the night. I don't have to get up early tomorrow to discuss countermeasures and guard against his next move."

Tu Shanjing nodded and said, "Yes, why don't you just come back with me?"

I nodded vigorously and replied, "Okay!"

Tu Shanjing and I walked slowly towards his residence. The dark clouds had dispersed, revealing the bright moon behind. The soft moonlight, the twinkling stars, the falling snow, he and I, both dressed in white, walked side by side on the crystal clear new snow, making the snow creak under our feet.

Once I started walking, the snow didn't feel cold on my face, but just a little bit cool. I suddenly remembered that I had fulfilled my wish of watching the snow with him, and I was in a good mood, and the corners of my mouth curled up involuntarily.

When he saw me laughing, he couldn't help asking me, "What are you laughing at?"

I replied, "Nothing. I had been thinking about enjoying the snow with you, and now it has come true. Lanxiang is very happy."

The corners of his mouth curled up, but then he seemed to have thought of something and the smile froze on his face. He lowered his head and whispered, "Are you really... happy at this moment?"

I knew he was referring to what happened today, so I hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir. Lanxiang is very calm and will forget about it after a good night's sleep! Just think of it as being bitten by a dog and consider yourself unlucky. If you see him in the future, just avoid him. If you can't avoid him, I'll bend down and pick up a stone to hit him!"

He stopped, looked at me and said, "But I can't forget it."

I was shocked, remembering what Sen Ying said before: if he looked at me, I would be taken in by him if I looked at him. I don't know much about etiquette, rules, and laws. Could it be that I can no longer serve him?

I said anxiously, "Master, Lanxiang was careless today. But that boy lied to me first, and Lanxiang was in a hurry and didn't have time to think about it. She was afraid that Master would make another mistake while carrying the money bag, so she was deceived by him... I hope Master will not chase me away because Lanxiang is devoted to you. I-"

He raised his hand to cover my mouth, and the fragrance from his wrist filled my nose. His hand was warm and soft, and my breath blew on his fingers, bringing back the fragrance and heat.

"That's not what I meant. You can rest assured that I will still treat you as before. What I meant is that I hate him in my heart and I can't forgive him."

I said "oh", and when I said that, I pursed my lips forward and pecked his hand lightly. He shuddered and immediately put his hand down.

"When I threw out that sword, I was thinking, should I let him live or die? In fact, I really wanted to deflect it a little bit, or just..." Tu Shanjing looked at the snow in the distance, his eyes colder than the snow.

I was shocked and said, "Sir! You knew it was him then?!"

He nodded. "After I sent the money bag away, I came back and ran into Feng Long who was walking in the courtyard. I wanted to talk to him about the warship. As we were walking, we heard some noises outside the garden, and then we looked..."

I praised: "Sir, you have a very good eye!"

He shook his head. "I didn't see him clearly, but from a distance, I saw the light reflected by your pearl earrings. I picked the earrings myself, and I'm familiar with the pattern. I saw from a distance that he was about to hit you, but I didn't have time to rush over immediately, so I pinned him down with my sword first."

I was amazed when I heard this. I didn't expect that the gift he gave me could actually save me. Could it be that someone had blessed me? Then I thought, he is my light.

He added, "When I got closer and saw your appearance, I regretted that I only nailed his arm. Although the injury is painful, with the level of his doctors, they can make him recover as before. At most, he will suffer some physical pain in the process."

As we were talking, we arrived at his residence. He climbed the stairs, walked to the door and opened it. After I followed him in and closed the door, he spoke in the darkness: "Let me ask you, do you want him to die?"

The tinderbox lit up in the dark night, illuminating his eyes like a shooting star.
