Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Now that she did not travel alone, she would definitely not be alone when she returned.

The mountain path reached out to as far as the eye could see, and before they knew it, it was already dark. Because they were on the mountain path, there were no taverns around, so they could only seek temporary lodging with a farmer. Fortunately, the farmer’s family was warm-hearted. They welcomed everyone warmly and even cooked many dishes for them.

Because they had to travel, Shen Xin and the others did not dare to drink. They were afraid that drinking would delay their departure the next day. On the other hand, Shen Miao drank quite a lot probably because she was in a good mood or because the plum wine brewed by the farmer was delicious. After drinking a few glasses, her face turned red.

“Jiaojiao, why did you drink so much?” Luo Xueyan didn’t notice it at first, but when she saw how red Shen Miao’s face was, she couldn’t help but be shocked. Seeing that Shen Miao was holding her cheek with one hand and looking a little sleepy, she quickly reached out to touch her head.

“This young lady probably doesn’t know how strong this wine is.” The farmer’s wife said with a smile, “The plum blossom wine made by our family tastes sweet, but it has a strong delayed effect. Every time my daughter drinks a few more glasses, she’ll get drunk too. However, after a good night of sleep, she’ll recover. Madam, don’t worry.”

Only then did Luo Xueyan feel relieved. Shen Qiu looked at Shen Miao, who was a little drunk, and found it funny. “I didn’t expect I would live to see Sister getting drunk one day. How interesting.”

When Shen Qiu returned this time, he saw a calm and gentle Shen Miao. She was so mature and serious that sometimes, Shen Qiu even thought that Shen Miao was his elder sister. Sometimes, he would miss the Shen Miao of the past. Although she was willful and rude, she was more like a little girl. Looking at her now, Shen Qiu thought of the Shen Miao of the past and felt a little close to her.

“Brat.” Shen Xin kicked Shen Qiu. “Your sister is already so drunk, but you’re still making fun of her!”

Shen Qiu quickly stuck out his tongue and apologized. The entire family, including the farmer, was filled with laughter. There was no sadness of leaving one’s hometown at all.

Shen Miao rested her chin on her hands and narrowed her eyes at the scene in front of her. Although this plum wine was intoxicating, she was still a little sober. She was indeed extremely happy today. In fact, not only did she want Shen Xin to leave the capital, but she also wanted him to stay away from the danger.

The lively dinner lasted until late at night. The enthusiastic farmer arranged enough rooms for them to sleep. Originally, Luo Xueyan wanted to stay in the same room as Shen Miao, but Shen Miao insisted on staying in the room next to the courtyard wall that was far away from the others.

At first, Shen Xin felt that it was not good. If there was any danger, he was afraid that he would not be able to save Shen Miao in time. However, for some reason, perhaps due to drunkenness, Shen Miao wouldn’t give in no matter what and insisted on staying in that room. When the farmer’s wife saw this, she smiled and said, “Miss, you probably want to see the flowers outside the courtyard, right? These flowers look good on a snowy day. All girls like them. Madam, don’t worry. No bandits will visit a small place like this. If you’re worried about your daughter, you can get a few guards to watch outside.”

Only then did everyone realize that when the window was opened, there was a large snow-white garden outside. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the flowers swayed, looking very beautiful.

Shen Qiu was amused. He pinched Shen Miao’s nose. “Look at how spoiled you are. Even when you are drunk, you still wants to find a place with a good scenery.”
