The setting sun poured down into the sky like molten gold, dyeing the horizon a brilliant orange-red. The afterglow gently fell on Xie Chaochao's peaceful face, coating her with a layer of soft golden light. Her eyes closed gently, as if she was immersed in this boundless tranquility and beauty. Her breathing was even and long, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of her mouth, as if even her dreams were tinged with a bit of sweetness.

Chu Heng stood beside her, his eyes full of tenderness and reluctance. He slowly leaned down, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing the most precious dream in the world. His lips gently touched Xie Chaochao's forehead, it was a kiss full of love and protection, silent but affectionate. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, everything around was eclipsed, only two hearts were left tightly connected, conveying deep affection that could be understood without words.

After the kiss, Chu Heng's eyes flashed with determination and firmness. He knew that the road ahead might be full of unknowns and challenges, but he had to take on the responsibility and mission for the future of both of them. He gently tidied up Xie Chaochao's scattered hair to ensure that she could continue to sleep peacefully in her dream, then turned around and walked out the door with firm steps.

Long Bo, the old man with a sharp look and a vicissitude of life, had been waiting at the door. He had witnessed too many ups and downs, and he knew that Chu Heng's trip was of great significance. The two looked at each other, and they understood each other without saying anything. A trace of praise and encouragement flashed in Long Bo's eyes, and he gently patted Chu Heng's shoulder, which was a silent support and trust.

As the night fell quietly, Chu Heng and Long Bo gradually disappeared outside the door and merged into the world shrouded in the night. Their steps were firm and powerful, and every step was full of expectations and determination for the future. Inside the house, Xie Chaochao was still sleeping. Perhaps in her dream, she was weaving a warm scene of reuniting with Chu Heng. Unconsciously, a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again.

Although this farewell is filled with some reluctance and worry, it also foreshadows that a more magnificent story is about to unfold. In the torrent of fate, the love between Chu Heng and Xie Chaochao will be like the sunset that never ends. No matter how many storms they go through, it will always shine the most dazzling light.

The night was falling, the moonlight was thin, and the lights in the military camp were dim, but they could not hide the tense and orderly training atmosphere. Two tall generals, wearing silver armor and with sharp eyes, were meticulously guiding the soldiers in night drills. Every time the swords crossed, they were accompanied by low and powerful shouts, echoing in the silent night sky.

In this solemn and focused state, a subtle and strange sound quietly broke the silence, like a ghost lurking in the night, sneaking and attracting attention. The two generals stopped their actions almost at the same time, exchanged a vigilant look, and then turned around tacitly, quietly approaching the source of the sound.

As the distance shortened, the subtle sound gradually became clearer, and it seemed to be mixed with the rustling of clothes and deliberately suppressed breathing. The two of them were secretly on guard and walked more cautiously. Finally, behind a sparse bush, a familiar figure came into view - it was Xie Chaochao's most personal maid, Pei'er.

Pei'er was wearing a nightgown, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of complex emotions, including fear and determination. She didn't seem to notice the approach of the two generals, but just stared into the depths of the military camp, her eyes full of nostalgia for the past and confusion about the future.

"Pearl?" One of the generals, with a low and magnetic voice, tried to break the silence with a gentle tone, "Why are you here? Sneaking into the military camp late at night, do you know how serious this is?"

Pei Er suddenly came back to her senses. Seeing that it was a trusted general of her old master, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but then she became firm again. "I... I have something important to tell you. It concerns the general's safety. I must meet the general in person." Her voice was small, but it revealed an unquestionable determination.

The two generals looked at each other, thought secretly, and then decided to take Pei'er to see Xie Chaochao. Under the night, the group passed through the intricate military camp, and every step seemed to be racing against time. The "important matter" mentioned by Pei'er was like a bomb about to explode, making the atmosphere in the entire military camp tense to the extreme.

Along the way, Pearl intermittently tells her experiences and discoveries, and every word is like a sharp blade, cutting the air and the hearts of everyone present. As the story deepens, a drama centered on loyalty, betrayal, and redemption quietly begins under the witness of the moonlight, and all of this originates from the sneaky figure - Pearl, and the secret she brings that is enough to subvert everything.

In the deep and ancient Long Mansion, the moonlight fell quietly like a thread, covering the quiet night with a mysterious veil. Long Bo, the butler with a kind face but sharp eyes, was standing on the threshold of the mansion, gently shaking a dim lantern in his hand, as if waiting for some important visitor. The night breeze blew gently, bringing the faint fragrance of flowers in the distance, and also brought the hurried and firm footsteps of Pei'er.

"Uncle Long, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Pei'er's voice was filled with anxiety and respect. She stopped in front of Uncle Long, panting, with concern in her eyes. Uncle Long tilted his head slightly, and a gentle smile flashed in his vicissitudes of life. He asked softly, "Miss Pei'er, what's the urgent matter that brings you to visit so late at night?"

Pei'er bit her lower lip lightly, looked at Long Bo with a firm gaze, and replied, "I'm worried about the young lady, so I came to see if she is okay." Before she finished her words, her figure had passed by Long Bo like a light swallow, and she hurried towards the young lady's boudoir, leaving behind a series of hurried and crisp footsteps echoing in the night sky.

Pushing open the carved wooden door, a faint scent of incense wafted into the air. The room was quiet, with only the flickering candlelight illuminating Xie Chaochao's peaceful sleeping face. The moonlight shone through the window lattice, sprinkling on her fair face, adding a bit of otherworldly air to her. Seeing this, Pei'er felt a warm current in her heart. The young lady's well-being was her greatest comfort.

However, she did not immediately go forward to disturb the tranquility, but slowed down her pace, as if afraid of disturbing the dreamer, and quietly approached the bed, her eyes full of tenderness and care. She stood quietly for a while, confirming that Xie Chaochao was sleeping soundly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and then slowly turned around, preparing to quietly leave the room.

During the exit, Pearl took every step very carefully, fearing to make a sound. Her eyes slowly swept across the room, and every familiar furnishing made her heart surge with a warm and complex emotion. Finally, when she gently closed the door and was under the moonlight again, she breathed a long sigh of relief and prayed in her heart that every night of the young lady could be so peaceful.

All of this was seen by Long Bo who was standing not far away. He looked at Pei'er's back as she walked away, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly admired this loyal maid. In this world full of unknowns and dangers, it is rare to have such pure care and protection. The night was still deep,
