Reaching the other side of Tian Du Peak, one can see the pure white snow of Tian Du Peak, pure and clean without any dirt. The pines on the mountain were entirely hung with sparkling snowflakes, only the underside of the leaves was green. The bamboo leaves were also layered with snow, a layer of frost adhered to the culm of the bamboo. Lan You Nian and others admired the entirely white mountain peak that only had sporadic footprints. The place that has been stepped on was like a thick carpet.

“Ah! You can actually see scenery you only get to see in winter here!” Hua Mu Qing happily bound to a snow pile.

Lan You Nian gazed at the pure white snow. A burst of joy fluttered in her heart. This Tian Du Peak, on one side it was summer with trees green and lush, but on this side, because of not being exposed to the sunlight all year round, due to the geographical reasons, it retained the winter snow on the mountain, making it beautiful beyond belief.

A black cloak with remnant body temperature was draped on Lan You Nian’s body. Lan You Nian looked up and saw Feng Yi Xuan had untied his cloak and draped it on her. He lowered his head, entirely focused on tying the cloak wrapping it tightly around her. His expression was warm and earnest.

Lan You Nian scanned Feng Yi Xuan’s thin robes, ready to refuse, “No need, you wear it yourself!” To which she was about to untie the cloak to return it to Feng Yi Xuan.

“I’m not cold!” Feng Yi Xuan stopped Lan You Nian’s action of untying the clock, frowned at Lan You Nian, “Your body isn’t good. Why did you still come here to play? I will take you back!” Through the entire journey, the entirety of Feng Yi Xuan’s attention was fixated on Lan You Nian. Since the last time at Zhen Wei Pavilion where Lan You Nian suddenly got sick, though he did not investigate into what sickness Lan You Nian caught, he knew Lan You Nian’s body wasn’t good. So he has been very worried as they traveled on the road.

“What? Nian’er meimei isn’t feeling well?” Lan Mo Xian fretted, the worry in his voice made Yu Liu Li and Hua Mu Qing drop their play in the snow and come over. Everyone was worried as they looked at Lan You Nian. With just one look they saw the part of Lan You Nian’s face that was exposed by the veil was indeed pale.

“How are you doing your job as an older brother? Even this little stuff you don’t know!” Hua Mu Qing angrily ranted to Lan Mo Xian, then to Lan You Nian she murmured guiltily, “Nian’er meimei let’s go back. I know Nian’er meimei came out because you promised me, but I’ve already left the capital and saw this beautiful scenery. It wasn’t a bad trip!”

“What junzhu said is sensible. Nian’er meimei’s body is most important!” Yu Liu Li concurred.

Only Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian, Yu Liu Li, Lan Mo Xian, and Hua Mu Qing came out to play this time. They were accompanied by Feng Yi Xuan’s shadow guards An Yi and An San who brought some clothes and food. If the others took a careful look at those things, they would realize that they were all Lan You Nian’s favorites, even the clothes were Lan You Nian’s. However, no one paid any attention to this little detail. Of course, Feng Xia Qi and the others wanted to come, but the current state of the court was grim and needed someone to personally assume command. Feng Xia Qi couldn’t win the argument with Feng Yi Xuan so he could only stay behind in the capital to fight with the old geezers. As for Jing Wu An and the others, they too wanted to come. After all, Lan You Nian also invited them, but they couldn’t stand up to Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan was their master ah! So they were all left behind in the capital by Feng Yi Xuan for various reasons. Only Yu Liu Li was not afraid of death and followed them.

“I’m not so delicate. I just came out to play. It’s just a little bit of cold. To go back now, isn’t it too disappointing? And I am in good health!” Lan You Nian smiled. She even twirled a circle in front of everyone. On the ground that was completely covered in white snow, there was a little figure twirling around like a snow elf, beautiful beyond words.

“Is it really okay? If Nian’er meimei doesn’t feel well, you must tell us!” Hua Mu Qing still wasn’t at ease. Perhaps in everyone’s eyes, Lan You Nian was still a child. In the past, she was lonely without anyone to rely on, and the fact that she wandered around in her childhood led everyone to feel more tenderness for her.

“Alright, Mu Qing jiejie when have you become so chatty like older brother?” Lan You Nian helplessly asked.

“Who’s the same as her (him)!” Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing shouted in unison. As soon as their words fell, they noticed the content was the same and shot daggers at each other.

“You two, why do you have such perfect unison?” Yu Liu Li was amused by the synchronized expressions of the two, laughed and joked.

“Who is in perfect unison with her (him)?” the two again said in unison, but the two’s face actually turned a little red and seemed a little embarrassed.

“Even refute it? See isn’t these words and action the same? You guys really look like husband and wife!” Yu Liu Li casually laughed. He was a man of the pugilistic world and did not care for trifling formalities. As to this kind of joking tease, it simply came out as he opened his mouth. Everyone understood and weren’t angry.

“I feel its good. If were someone else, Nian’er won’t like. Only if it was Mu Qing jiejie does Nian’er feel it is a good match for older brother!” Lan You Nian joined in laughter with Yu Liu Li.

“Nian’er meimei, how did you also learn Liu Li’s pugilistic ways?” Hua Mu Qing used her hands to grab the white snow on the ground, bunched it into a ball and threw it at Lan You Nian. Before the snowball could reach even an inch of Lan You Nian, it was shattered by Feng Yi Xuan. If it were any other person, Hua Mu Qing would continue to aggressively joke around with Lan You Nian. Shooting a glance at Feng Yi Xuan, Hua Mu Jing was more behaved than anyone.

“Yeah, Liu Li don’t you lead Nian’er meimei astray. Besides, if junzhu entered my Lan manor’s doors, won’t she cause a mess in my Lan manor!” Lan Mo Xian mumbled. Since he was little, he’s bantered with Hua Mu Qing till they were all grown up. He understood what Hua Mu Qing’s temperament was like the best. “Lan Mo Xian, what do you mean! You tell this junzhu clearly!” Hua Mu Qing threw the snowball at Lan Mo Xian. Lan Mo Xian was wholly covered with white snow all over his hand and bantered with Hua Mu Qing. In the end, even Yu Liu Li and An San joined in the snowball fight.

“You want to play?” Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian’s sparkling eyes that watched them play. If Nian Nian wanted to play, he will too, but he won’t allow her to play with them. What if they accidentally hurt Nian Nian?

Lan You Nian shook her head, simply contently stood there watching Lan Mo Xian and the others play around, watching them play without restraint. Perhaps due to her dark experiences in the past and her mature mentality, in her eyes, this group of friends playing without restriction was too interesting.

And Feng Yi Xuan seeing Lan You Nian’s joy, from time to time, attacked the others with snowballs that An Yi rolled up. Every time, Feng Yi Xuan was very deliberate to make them very disheveled. He, standing beside Lan You Nian, seeing how the girl was happily laughing because of the others, the corner of his lips tugged up and continued to abuse the people playing around in the snow. In the end, Lan You Nian was happy, Feng Yi Xuan seeing Lan You Nian was delighted, he was pleased, the most miserable were the others. Feng Yi Xuan was most. What was sadder was that no one dared to question Feng Yi Xuan.

Amid everyone’s playing, the sky darkened. Everyone was prepared to spend the night in the wild. Feng Yi Xuan and Lan Mo Xian were military people, so it was common to spend the night outside. For Yu Liu Li who was from the pugilistic world, it was even more common. Although Hua Mu Qing was a junzhu, she was straightforward and didn’t care about these, so everyone turned their attention to Lan You Nian.

Lan You Nian knew everyone was afraid she wasn’t accustomed, but she didn’t explain, only came to An San’s side to help set up the tent. From the familiar way in which Lan You Nian set up the tent, it can be seen that she was no stranger to sleeping in the wild. Although the others were confused, they were eased by this knowledge.

“Nian’er meimei, you can cook, play music, and compose poems. Now you can even do this! How do you let us live ah!” Yu Lu Li was stunned standing beside Lan You Nian as he watched Lan You Nian swiftly set up the tent, praising continuously.

An San, seeing Lan You Nian who was setting up the tent even faster than her, felt admiration in her heart. Most women were too fragile, unwilling to touch these. Probably only Miss Lan will do this kind of work without any discomfort at doing these things only servants did.

Feng Yi Xuan did not say only, only came to Lan You Nian’s side to take the things in Lan You Nian’s hands from her and began to set up the tent and the arrangements inside. Seeing his good friend Yu Liu Li still lingering around Nia Nian, Feng Yi Xuan said coldly,” Set up your own tent, don’t do no sleep!”

Yu Liu Li hearing this hurriedly seized the things from An Yi’s hands and ran off to the side to set up the tent. Lan Mo Xian and Hua M Qing also began setting up their own tents. However, Hua Mu Qing has never done this before, so it was a little messy. Lan Mo Xian had to help her set up the tent.

Lan You Nian observed as Feng Yi Xuan set up the tent for her. His technique was practiced. It should be from fighting in the war. After Feng Yi Xuan finished setting up the tent, he picked up the things An San brought and took them into the tent to arrange them. Lan You Nian felt curious and followed into the small tent after him.

Inside the small tent, Feng Yi Xuan’s height made it seem a little crowded. Currently, that man was laying down the soft plush fur on the ground and sorted out a lot of other things. Lan You Nian can be sure that many of the things An San brought were placed into the tent. The decoration inside was all the things that she liked or things that will make her sleep at night more comfortable. This man considerately prepared so much without her being aware.

After all the things were laid out, Feng Yi Xuan said to Lan You Nian, “Is there something you don’t like? If anything is bad, just say it!” Although he didn’t agree with Nian Nian to come here to freeze nor did he have a lot of time to prepare, since Nian Nian liked it, he will do his best to make sure Nian Nian was comfortable. If Nian Nian wanted something, just have An Yi get it for her. At this time, Feng Yi Xuan didn’t consider the fact that An Yi was a shadow guard, his job wasn’t to run errands. Going back and forth so far, isn’t it tormenting people?

“It’s excellent!” Lan You Nian thanked. It was indeed excellent. After all, telling them to come here to play was impromptu without much preparation, but for Feng Yi Xuan to have prepared so much, it was really rare to see.

For dinner, everyone was going to eat the dry food rations that An San brought over, but everyone felt that since they came out to play, eating these would be mundane. In the end, after talking it over, Lan Mo Xian and Yu Liu Li went to find wild game. They were going to eat roast meat.

You have to say that Yu Liu Li and Lan Mo Xian’s survival technique was pretty good. After a while, they carried back a few small wild game. The two because of having used martial arts so naturally were happy. All the way back, they chatted about the interesting things that happened during the hunt.

Feng Yi Xuan sat beside Lan You Nian. When the game has been cleaned by An Yi, everyone sat by the fire to roast the meat. Feng Yi Xuan picked up the best-looking one and started to roast it. From time to time, he turned it around, even adding some seasoning to the cooked food. After a while, the food in Feng Yi Xuan’s hand exuded a strong fragrance, causing the others to swallow their saliva. But no one had the guts to ask for it from Feng Yi Xuan.

Among the people sitting around the fire only Lan You Nian had nothing to do. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to do anything but rather that everyone was very opposed to her doing anything. The biggest objection was from Feng Yi Xuan. As soon as Lan You Nian started doing something, Feng Yi Xuan will immediately steal it from her and finish it, making Lan You Nian very at leisure.

Feng Yi Xuan tore off the best part of the meat and handed it to Lan You Nian, “Try it. See if you like it!” The others were also going to give the food in their hands to Lan You Nian. However, when they compared the colorful and aromatic meat in Feng Yi Xuan’s hands to the discolored one in theirs, they silently retracted their food.

Lan You Nian candidly received it and took a bite. Indeed it was delicious. The roast meat was roasted perfectly, neither burnt nor raw. The seasoning seeped into the meat, making it especially fragrant when eating.

Seeing Nian Nian was delighted with her food, Feng Yi Xuan was also thrilled. For himself, he ate the parts of the roast meat that wasn’t as good then continued to barbecue, taking excellent care of Lan You Nian.
