Bai Xianyu had never heard Xie Xingyun speak in such a tone.

In her impression, Xie Xingyun was high-spirited and unbridled when he was young. Even the way he leisurely held a pen mesmerized countless women.

When he was young, Xie Xingyun was a high-ranking official. When he became even more mature and restrained, he was able to plan and strategize.

Bai Xianyu had seen him being calm and collected many times.

This was the first time she had seen him lose his composure.

She looked a little surprised, but because he was hugging her very tightly, her breathing was irregular. She frowned slightly. “Let me go first.”

Xie Xingyun let go a little stiffly, but the hands that were originally restraining her still rested on her shoulders.

Bai Xianyu raised her head and looked straight at him. She said seriously, “I called you here to apologize for misunderstanding you previously. No matter how our relationship is, you did save my brothers. However, that’s a different matter.”

Xie Xingyun took half a step back, wanting to see a different emotion in her eyes.

However, Bai Xianyu’s eyes were overly calm.

His lips moved. “Did you not hear me clearly…”

Bai Xianyu had heard it very clearly, but she felt that there was no need to dwell on this issue.

Currently to her, to love or not

does not matter.

She cut him off, “I heard you.”

Her attitude made Xie Xingyun speechless.

Seeing him like this, Bai Xianyu seemed to see a shadow of herself from before.

At that time, wasn’t she like him? In fact, she was even better.

She wished she could tell him everything she liked and loved.

However, his attitude back then was just like hers now.

Was this what it meant to retaliate?

Bai Xianyu sighed softly. There was finally some seeming sadness in her eyes, but she was sad for her former self. “Actually, you can’t even tell the difference between liking someone and being possessive, right?”

Xie Xingyun stared into her eyes and said slowly, “You don’t believe me?”

Did she believe that he loved her?

Bai Xianyu thought for two seconds and said casually, “I really don’t believe you. Moreover, even if what you said is true and you like me, but I don’t like you. Are you still going to pester me?”

“It’s not impossible.”

Xie Xingyun answered very quickly without any hesitation.

Bai Xianyu paused and looked at him inquisitively.

After a while, she said, “Why bother?”

Xie Xingyun felt suffocated by her cold and distant tone.

He even thought that even if she was angry, it was better than this indifferent and unconcerned stance.

Anger meant that he could still affect her emotions.

In the past, she must have been like this when she liked him.

When she was still smiling at his rejection, her heart was already aching terribly.

Now, Bai Xianyu only spoke to him calmly and did not say anything hurtful.

He already… could not take it anymore.

It turned out that longing for someone’s love could be so joyous yet sorrowful.

He would be very happy when she casually gave him a piece of pastry.

Her casual words could instantly send him to hell.

Xie Xingyun lowered his eyes and said hoarsely, “If you want to thank me, don’t alienate me.”

Bai Xianyu did not speak but frowned slightly.

“At least…” He suddenly chuckled. “Think of me as a friend.”

“Don’t say a word.”

She looked at him with such a hurtful gaze.

Bai Xianyu’s gaze flickered. “Do you think we can still be ordinary friends?”

Xie Xingyun’s eyes turned red. “How would you know if you don’t try?”

The girl stared at the blood vessels at the corners of his eyes in surprise.

After a while.

“This will only make it more difficult for you. Isn’t it good for us to lead our separate lives? Bai Xianyu’s tone was calm and serious, as if she was discussing something that had nothing to do with her.

It was as if she was really being considerate to him.

How could she be so calm?

Xie Xingyun’s gaze was dark. “Whether it’s difficult or not is my business.”

Bai Xianyu was silent for a while before saying, “As you wish.”

With that, she tidied her clothes and turned to leave.

After this day, the atmosphere between the two of them was elusive. Even Xiao Zheng could sense that something was wrong.

Fifth Miss Bai still went to the grove to practice her sword every day.

Young Master would also follow along, not missing a day.

Young Master would also roast all kinds of wild animals for Fifth Miss Bai.

Occasionally, he would look at her back in a daze.

If not for his reminder, more than half of them would have been burnt.

Fifth Miss Bai was still the same as usual.

However, she would smile at his Young Master and thank him from time to time.

It looked normal.

Logically speaking, Xiao Zheng felt that his Young Master should be pursuing Fifth Miss Bai now. Fifth Miss Bai’s attitude was much better than before.

To Young Master, such a change should be something to be happy about.

However, Young Master became more and more silent. The smile in his eyes disappeared, and his gaze was always complicated.

He did not seem… very happy either.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to set off for the capital.

The tree in the courtyard sprouted tender green buds. That evening, Bai Xianyu dug out the peach blossom wine buried under the tree.

There were a total of three jars.

Green Pearl brought over a wooden table and two small baskets. “Miss, it seems that the peach blossom wine you made last time was a great success. I can smell the aroma of this wine in the room!”

Bai Xianyu smiled at her. “How could it be so exaggerated?”

“It’s true!” Green Pearl put down the table and took out a clean handkerchief to wipe the fresh soil on the outside of the wine jar. She smiled and said, “Miss, wait for me for a while. I’ll bring you a wine cup.”

“Take one for yourself. We’ll drink it together.”

Bai Li was guarding outside, so Bai Xianyu was quite relieved.

Green Pearl nodded and ran to the courtyard next door to take it.

Bai Xianyu moved the small wooden table to a spot against the wall and moved it slightly away from the tree to prevent any fallen leaves from falling into the wine.

Not long after, Green Pearl arrived with a plate in her hand. There were three jade cups on it.

Bai Xianyu personally opened the seal, and the entire courtyard was instantly filled with the aroma of wine.

“Give me the cup.”

Green Pearl hurriedly handed it over. “Miss, let me pour you the wine.”

Bai Xianyu waved her hand and smiled. “No need. I’m happy today. We won’t go home until we’re drunk!”

Although Green Pearl did not know what Bai Xianyu was happy about, she was also happy from the bottom of her heart.

“Alright!”

“Bai Li, come over and have a drink too.” Bai Xianyu looked up at the man standing on the tree trunk.

Bai Li also had a craving, so he went down and took a couple of sips.

Bai Xianyu was really happy, even though she did not know if the world in their previous lives would continue after their rebirth.

However, it was worth celebrating that his brothers were not dead.

Perhaps they had married and had children there, and could grow old with the person they liked.

She drank cup after cup of wine, her cheeks flushed red.

Bai Li did not dare to drink too much. After drinking, he returned to his original position.

At this moment, he saw Xie Xingyun walking out of the back door with a jar of wine in his hand..
