When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

It's a plate of red date cake.

The color is attractive and the aroma is fragrant.

The walnut kernels and chopped red dates dotted on it also shine with a glossy luster.

One can imagine how sweet and delicious it must be when you take a bite, leaving a lingering fragrance on your teeth and cheeks.

However, red date cake...

Qin Yuechuan couldn't help but think of his childhood.

At that time, his mother was convicted of a crime and asked to practice Buddhism in a royal temple outside the palace.

He was still young at that time, and he cried and asked to stay with his mother.

However, life in the temple was hard, and his mother was a convicted criminal, so naturally she was not welcomed and was often tortured by the nuns in the temple.

As a result, he often went hungry.

At that time, Qin Xiaoyuechuan and his mother were confined in an independent courtyard and were not allowed to go in or out.

When he was young, he planned to secretly dig a "dog hole" in the corner so that he could enter and exit quietly.

It was at that time that I met a "little ball of fur".

At that time, she was very small, with a cute little bun on her head and a chubby baby face. She always peeked into the inner courtyard through the undug hole.

After several times, when they got to know each other, she knew his intentions and always helped him dig the soil outside the wall.

It was the twelfth lunar month, and the weather was freezing cold. In order to help him expand the hole, her chubby "little paws" were frozen red after digging for a while.

Young Qin Yuechuan couldn't bear it: "Don't rush, you don't have to dig. Your hands are frozen red."

She was wearing a pink brocade dress and a white rabbit fur cape.

Squatting there, it looked like a round ball of fur.

After hearing what he said, she said, “Right now, I have to help you dig a little longer.

Think about it, it's rare for you to have a helper, with me helping you, you will definitely be able to dig the hole faster. Maybe you can even sneak out earlier to play with me..."

At that time, little Qin Yuechuan just wanted to say: In fact, you can't dig much faster if you dig like this. This is a long-term physical job.

But seeing that she was really serious, I couldn't bear to discourage her.

Just keep teaching her:

"Use the stone next to you to dig. Don't use your hands. It's easy to get hurt."

The little fur ball on the other side was obedient and did what he said, and found that it really saved a lot of effort. The two little people, one inside the wall and the other outside the wall, were like two diligent groundhogs, digging holes all day long.

Hearing that he often didn't have enough to eat, she would often bring various snacks and fruits and pass them to him one by one through the small hole.

"My mother made them for me. I saved them and gave them to you. They are all long-lasting and can last you for many days."

Looking at the fruits and cakes rolling out of the small hole one by one, the cakes were all wrapped tightly with oil paper to prevent them from being contaminated by dirt and stones.

Since he came here with his mother to practice, his royal brothers have never been here. He never thought that the first warmth he would receive would come from a "little fur ball" who was separated by a wall and whom he had never met before.

"How should I address you? I can't just keep calling you 'Hey'."

"My mother said that a girl's maiden name should not be easily revealed to outsiders, and she should know how to protect herself. My last name is Xu, so you can call me Miss Xu."

The little ball of fur has a childish face, but speaks like a little adult.

Qin Yuechuan just found it funny: a little girl younger than him knew that "a girl's maiden name should not be easily revealed to outsiders". She was really a smart kid.

Then he also agreed: "Okay, Miss Xu, my last name is Qin..."

"Then you must be 'Master Qin'!"

Little Qin Yuechuan just thought this "little fur ball" was very cute, and agreed: "Yes, it's Mr. Qin."

The two of them called each other this and had a pleasant conversation through the "dog hole".

"Little Ball of Fur" always makes cakes for him by herself.

Every time he opened the oil paper package and saw the "cakes" she made with her own hands, Qin Yuechuan was always speechless for a while:

It was black and I couldn't tell what kind of snack it was. When I took a bite, my mouth was full of burnt taste.

After tasting it carefully and observing the fruit core that was spit out, I roughly knew that it should be a kind of date cake.

The "little fur ball" on the outer wall always asks: "Is it delicious? Is it delicious? I made this myself!"

Unable to bear to reject her kindness, Qin Yuechuan always beat his chest and forced himself to swallow it, smiling and encouraging her: "It's delicious, very delicious."

The "little fur ball" outside the wall was completely unaware and said smugly, "Yeah, I told you I have a talent for making pastries. My little girl laughed at me."

Qin Yuechuan, who was inside the wall, could only laugh dryly.

But the good times did not last long, as his sneaky behavior was eventually noticed by the nun who came to deliver food to him.

He was beaten again.

The wound became inflamed but there was no medicine to apply, causing his body to feel hot and cold all the time.

In order not to make her worry, he endured the pain every day as usual and never showed any sign of it.

But the "little fur ball" suddenly said to him: "Master Qin, mother said we are leaving and can't live here anymore. I can't accompany you to dig holes anymore."

In recent days, Qin Yuechuan's mind has been sometimes clear and sometimes confused. When he heard these words, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. It seemed like he was sad and reluctant, but he also knew that she couldn't be here with him forever.

I could only nod silently.

"Mr. Qin, I will make you some more date cakes tomorrow. I will make more so that you can eat them for a long time... I will come to say goodbye to you at this time tomorrow."

When little Qin Yuechuan heard Zaogao, he just wanted to say no, really no. But before he could open his mouth, he saw that the "little ball of fur" had already run away.

His mother finally discovered his abnormality that night and forced him to stay in bed and not go out.

She didn't care about her dignity as an imperial concubine, and begged the nuns for some herbs.

But in a daze, little Qin Yuechuan was always thinking about the agreement he made with the "little fur ball".

They said yes...

They said yes...

After today's separation, he didn't know when they would meet again. He wanted to see her...

She is so stubborn, if she can't see him, she will definitely not leave...

When the agreed time came, little Qin Yuechuan got up from the bed, forced himself to stay together, and staggered to the cave entrance.

As expected, she had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing the familiar oil paper bag being stuffed in from the hole, Qin Yuechuan, who was already unconscious due to the high fever, saw that she was about to leave, and asked anxiously:

"Wait...wait...what's your name? Can you tell me now? You've given me so much in all these days...Zao Gao, let's be friends, right? Name..."

He had used up all his strength to say this. At this moment, his face had already turned red and he was barely able to keep his eyes open.

But he still listened attentively to the sounds outside the wall, afraid of missing a single word.

She only said, "Me? My name? Xu Mingxi. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

At this moment he was on the verge of collapse. He forced himself to stay awake, and he couldn't even distinguish the girl's voice outside the wall, which was completely different from the past.

He only heard:

"...Xu Mingxi..."

He became exhausted and passed out.

When Concubine Rong brought him back to the bed, he was still mumbling, "Xu Mingxi... Her name is Xu Mingxi..."

Fortunately, he survived, but never saw "Xu Mingxi" again.
