Yin Xu had indeed undergone earth-shaking changes.

He was only wearing a short grass-colored shirt, with his trouser legs rolled up, revealing his strong and muscular calves. He was a little rougher than the young prince I had seen at Duke Xuan's mansion before, but it couldn't hide the innate nobility that lingered about him.

His long black hair was curled up and tied with a tie, revealing his eyebrows and eyes that were more handsome and indistinct than when he was young. If he was just a piece of mountain jade before, now he is a carefully carved jade pendant. After the trials of wind and frost, his aura has become even colder.

The girl couldn't help but stare at him for a few more seconds, and then she saw the man reaching out his hand, handing her a few fish wrapped in a large lotus leaf, and asking in a gentle voice.

"That's all I have. Shall I make you some grilled fish?"

The girl came back to her senses, glanced at the gentle look between his eyebrows, and slightly curved the corners of her lips almost inaudibly.

She looked at the fat fish and couldn't help but feel curious: "Did you catch all of them?"

The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression full of high spirits: "That's it." He pointed in a direction casually, "I just went to explore and there is a stream over there. Apart from that, there are no signs of human activities here. I guess we fell into the deep mountains."

The girl nodded slightly. As long as she could get through today...she would be done.

While he was scraping off the fish scales with the dagger on his waist, he frowned and couldn't help but whisper to her.

"You are taking too much risk by doing this."

He always thought that she was a delicate young lady from a wealthy family. Even if she had some skills, they were only used to deal with the undercurrents in the inner house... But this time, he witnessed the ruthlessness of the girl who was willing to risk her life.

I really look at her with new eyes, but after the admiration... I can't help but feel sorry for her.

What on earth had he gone through that made him be so desperate and reckless?

Yu Luan couldn't help but fall silent when she heard that. She didn't want to say more, so she smiled at him and said, "I know you will come to save me."

"Of course I will." The young man turned his head, a look of heartache in his eyes, "But I'm afraid I can't arrive in time every time..."

As he spoke, his expression became more serious, and he said in a serious and calm tone, "Promise me that you will never take risks like this next time."

Yu Luan curled the corners of her lips, knowing that he was worried about her, her heart softened and she nodded slightly.

"I see."

She didn't say she agreed to him, after all... she still had a great revenge to take.

The two of them finished eating several grilled fish together. Yin Xu originally thought that Yu Luan would dislike the fact that the grilled fish had no seasoning and tasted fishy.

Unexpectedly, she ate more deliciously than herself. After the girl learned of his opinion, she couldn't help but sneer.

"Do you think I'm a noble lady from some aristocratic family?" She couldn't help but talk about her past. "Madam Lou was not favored... I had a very hard life. There were only two or three maids in the two courtyards of mother and daughter. Madam often had to take medicine. She had palpitations and couldn't sleep well at night. She needed to drink water... Sometimes the maids were impatient to serve her and pretended to be asleep and couldn't hear. I moved a chair to guard in front of Madam's bed, and waited for her to fall asleep... Then I would go to rest."

That long, lonely and cold night is now just two casual words when mentioned...but at that time, the poverty was extremely unbearable.

As Yin Xu listened, a bit of pity appeared in his eyes.

"It's all over. Things will get better in the future." He said gently, "When you marry me... no one will dare to bully you like this anymore!"

The girl let out a light breath, as if to let out the depression in her heart, and nodded gently, but her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

The two of them couldn't help but feel a little more subtle and sweet because of the intimate words "Marry you". They both lowered their heads and stopped talking shyly.

After eating, the two men recovered some strength. Seeing that the rain was still heavy, they rested in the cave for one night. The next morning, when the rain gradually stopped, they got up and looked for a way out along the stream.

The two saw a pair of figures looking for them from afar in the mountains and forests. The girl originally wanted to call out "Dong Lu", but her throat felt sour, probably because she had caught a cold.

Fortunately, Dong Yu saw them first and waved excitedly, "Madam! There they are!"

Xia Yue walked forward and saw that the girl was unharmed, except that her hair was a little loose and she looked tired. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

She first calmed down a little, glanced at the coat on the girl, and couldn't help but be alert again.
