"Be careful!!" Ning Xiang noticed something was wrong and rushed to support Pei Zhuoan when he fell completely. She held his left wrist with her right hand and pulled it tightly.

The warm and soft touch made Pei Zhuo'an's mouth tremble. He stood firm and looked at Ning Xiang's concerned expression. The tip of his nose felt a little sore inexplicably.

"But you're okay?" The woman's eyes were still tied with eyebands that blocked her vision, and she didn't choose to take them off even at this time.

It was enough to show her respect for Pei Zhuoan.

"It's okay." Pei Zhuoan took advantage of the fact that Ning Xiang was invisible now, and his eyes fell on her almost hungrily. Only at this moment could he release his true emotions.

He glanced again at Ning Xiang's slender jade hand still holding his wrist, and finally took the initiative to take his wrist back.

"Let's go, Senior Sister, it's not far ahead."

He understood that Ning Xiang's feelings for him would never change, but it was inevitable that there would still be hopes and weak desires in his heart.

But after what happened just now, he suddenly changed his mind.

There will be no one in this world who cares about him more than she does, so even if she cannot be his Taoist companion, as a relative, she can still stay by his side for a long time. This is enough, isn't it?
Before Ning Xiang followed Pei Zhuoan to the place, she smelled the rich aroma of plum blossoms through her keen sense of smell.

She roughly guessed what surprise Pei Zhuoan would prepare for her.

But when Pei Zhuoan stopped, stepped into a deep hole in the snow, and personally removed the eyeband that blocked her vision, she saw the scene in front of her clearly, and she was still speechless by the beauty.

On the pure white snow in front of you, there are large areas of burning red. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ten-mile plum forest.

The petals of the red plum blossoms fell off a lot under the cold wind, spinning in the air with the force of the wind. Some fell to the ground and became a pile of petals, while some were brought towards them and fell on their clothes and black hair.

While vision brings ultimate enjoyment, so does smell.

The extremely strong fragrance of plum blossoms makes people feel physically and mentally comfortable. Ningxiang's black hair is driven by the cold wind and her clothes are fluttering.

She has a cold temperament. Standing in the ice and snow, the tip of her nose and earlobes were red from the cold, but it did not affect her own beauty.

On the contrary, it gives people a strange sense of surprise.

Pei Zhuoan looked at this scene and originally wanted to reach out and pick the red plum petals on her black hair, but when he reached out, he was afraid of blaspheming her.

In the end, he could only close his hands and clench his fists, watching her stand alone in the cold wind, like a natural picture.

"Senior sister, do you still like it?"

He suppressed the bitter curve at the corner of his lips and revealed a fake smile on his face. Ning Xiang looked sideways at him, with bright eyes and a flowery smile: "I like it."

He knew that when she said "like" she meant Merlin, but hearing her say these two words to him at this moment, his heart still inevitably trembled.

"As long as you like it, this is the only gift I can give you now." Pei Zhuoan lowered his eyelashes and did not dare to look at her with his litchi eyes.

If he continued reading, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his heart and emotions.

Ning Xiang didn't notice anything unusual about him. After nodding, she took out the photo-taking stone and took a photo of the scene in front of her. Although she didn't say the reason, Pei Zhuoan probably guessed that she should have recorded it for Mo Yinxing to see.

The Plum Blossom Forest ended at noon, and Pei Zhuoan's unwillingness to control Ning Xiang also ended at noon.

When he got on the carriage again, he looked at Ning Xiang with the respect that a junior brother should have towards his senior sister.

"Sister, is there somewhere you want to go or something you want to do this afternoon? I can accompany you."

In Ning Xiang's eyes, Pei Zhuoan was no longer just a junior brother, but also a family member.

After thinking for a moment, she told him that she wanted to see the place where he usually conducted official business and the places he frequented.Once you go to the spirit world, you don’t know when you will come back next time.

Before that, she had to understand Pei Zhuoan's situation more clearly.

"Sister, do you want to come here?"

Pei Zhuoan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that she would give such an answer.

"Well, is it inconvenient?"

"No." The young man trembled his eyelashes and told Ning Xiang, of course, but there is nothing interesting to see in these places.

Ning Xiang: "I didn't go to see it just to see it, I just wanted to know where you usually stay and what you do."

Seeing her persistence, Pei Zhuoan could only take her to some of the places he visited most often after lunch at noon.

Undoubtedly it is the palace, the punishment department, the study room and the like.

There is not much to see in these places, and it was still early when we finished.

He then thought about taking Ning Xiang to the clothing stores and jewelry stores in the capital to buy her some things.

She didn't refuse, but said she planned to buy it for him when the time came.

"When I go to the spirit world, I don't know when I can come back. Before that, you have to take care of yourself. If you have any problems that you can't handle by yourself, you can ask my brother for help. He will definitely not be stingy. .”

"The clothes I bought for you are probably the new New Year's clothes that I prepared for you in advance. Of course, this is not the New Year's gift that I told you to prepare in advance. I will give it to you when I say goodbye."

Pei Zhuoan had been looking forward to this New Year's gift before, but when he heard that it was given to him before parting, he suddenly didn't want to look forward to it anymore.

Farewell represents sadness and sorrow. If you receive it at that time, no matter how happy you are, it will be diluted by at least half.

So she asked Ning Xiang, couldn't she give him the things in advance?

"How come? Are you looking forward to it like this? But no, this has to be given before parting to make sense. Junior brother, please bear with it for now."

"Okay." Pei Zhuoan didn't want to leave a bad impression on Ning Xiang before they parted, so he tried his best to be well-behaved.

The clothes and jewelry in the tailor shops in the capital were the most fashionable in the entire Dachang Dynasty. Basically, except that the materials were not as abundant as those in the cultivation world, everything else was impeccable.

Pei Zhuoan bought a lot of things for Ning Xiang in one go, and it looked like he wanted to buy all her clothes for the next year.

She didn't pay attention to these things at all, and she didn't often change the styles of her clothes. When he was planning to buy her the No. 20 set, he finally couldn't help but stop him.

"That's enough. Let's go and choose for you."

She didn't have much human world silver in her hand, but it was more than enough to buy two or three sets.

After personally selecting purple, black, and blue clothes for Pei Zhuoan, she glanced at the darkening sky and guessed that it was time to say goodbye.

She did not return to the carriage when she came up with Pei Zhuoan, but stood on the side of the bustling street with people coming and going, taking out the New Year's gift she had prepared for him from the ring.

The congratulatory gift was packed in a medium-sized gift bag. When Pei Zhuoan reached out to take it, it was not too heavy and seemed to be only the size of a shadow stone.

Pei Zhuoan: Wow.
