    The galaxy is as clear as a wash, and in the complete silence, a crescent of moonlight falls quietly, illuminating the stars in the sky.

    Xie Ciyan returned to the camp with an excited Yan Zhaozhao. As soon as the woman with eyes full of expectation entered the tent, she couldn’t wait to search his body with her hands. While touching, she asked, “Didn’t you say you want to give me a gift? Where is it? Let me see!” Seeing that there was nothing in her sleeves, she boldly put her hands into the man’s underwear, and her soft palms brushed against the muscles of his chest several times, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

    Xie Ciyan laughed and said, “You little rascal.” He caught her hand that kept making trouble, raised his fingertips and scratched the tip of her nose, “The gift is not on me. Zhao Zhao might as well look for it somewhere else?”

    Yan Zhaozhao pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at the man with the sultry eyebrows in front of her, suddenly wanting to get a little angry.She said arrogantly: “My legs are sore and I don’t want to look for it anymore.”

    Looking carefully at the expression on Xie Ciyan’s face, he didn’t even have a trace of impatience. Even his eyes were full of indulgence, “It doesn’t matter.” The next moment, without any explanation, he held the person in his arms and walked towards the bed inside.

    Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks turned red, thinking that this man wanted to go to Wushan with her. She was ashamed and annoyed, so she raised her hand and gave it to him.”You are the real gangster!” She bit her red lips, which looked like a blooming albizia flower, so delicate and charming, like a tempting seductress leaning over to pick it.”Didn’t you say you would bring me here to look for gifts? You, now…”

    Seeing that she had misunderstood, Xie Ciyan smiled lowly, raised his chin towards her, and motioned for her to look behind him.

    Yan Zhaozhao didn’t know why, but he turned around anyway.The next moment, she saw that the bedside behind her was filled with gifts of all sizes, at least a dozen.Her eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her lips raised unconsciously, like ripples on spring water, with a bright smile and undisguised joy.”So many, are they all for me?!”

    She reached up and gently touched the brocade box containing the gift. Her eyes were filled with tiny gleams of light, and she was so surprised that she was beyond words.

    The man behind her leaned forward, rubbed her cheek with his temples, and whispered, “If Zhaozhao is willing, I don’t mind being one of your many gifts.” He smiled half-smilingly, and his tone was teasing and a bit teasing, “Maybe you don’t need to trouble Zhaozhao to do it. I’ll untie my clothes myself and wait for you to check it out for yourself, okay?”

    Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks were even redder, and even the tips of her ears were dyed with a delicate blush. “You, don’t say anything anymore…” She scolded, but her tone was extremely soft, and her twinkling eyes were clearly seducing him.

    Xie Ciyan smiled, but he didn’t really ask her to open his “gift”. He said in a low voice with a bit of a bewitching smile, “Zhaozhao doesn’t want to open these gifts. Take a good look at them?” It was like an understatement, but it also seemed like a long-planned invitation.

    But how could Yan Zhaozhao have any reason not to keep the appointment? The excitement on her face had not disappeared. She raised her hand and took a small brocade box handed to her by Xie Ciyan and opened it. There lay a small and exquisite longevity lock inside.It is inlaid with a delicate peony pattern, the petals are stacked and intertwined, and the golden light shines. A ruby ​​​​drops in the heart of the flower, shining brightly.

    Yan Zhaozhao was a little confused, because most longevity locks are given to babies who are still in their infancy, “This…”

    Xie Ciyan stroked the broken hair on her forehead, and his voice was as gentle as the willows in spring. It fell gently and seemed to blend into the top of her heart.”This is your first birthday gift.” He looked at her, his eyes full of inextricable tenderness, as if everything in the world had faded, and she was the only one left standing in his heart. “My Zhao Zhao should be cherished in every way since she was born. No matter how the Yan family treated you back then, this birth gift is the blessing I personally added to you.”

    “May my Zhao Zhao bring blessings when he comes, and may he be born with good luck.”

    She stared at him blankly, her fingertips trembling slightly, a little afraid to touch the long-life lock filled with her heart.After a long while, she lowered her head, her eyes were slightly red, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised, like a thin stream quietly flowing through the lake of her heart. She said nothing, and she could not say a word for the thousands of words that were surging in her heart.

    Xie Ciyan took the second brocade box from one side and placed it in her hand, gesturing for her to open it.

    The jade pendant is as warm and moist as water, and its whole body is crystal white, with a faint green luster, just like a bud in the early morning mist.There is a small character “Zhao” engraved on the back, and a red rope is tied around the pendant, which makes the color of the jade even more warm and moist. Even before I get the jade, I feel peaceful.

    “On Zhao Zhao’s first birthday, I wish you peace and happiness in everything from now on.”

    The tip of her nose was slightly sour, and her eyelashes trembled slightly as if a silent rain was about to fall.”You, you…how…” His voice was slightly hoarse, and he murmured in a low voice, “How can you be so good, and ask me to give you anything in return.”

    After she finished speaking, she looked up at him, with tears in her eyes that could not hide the shock and joy, as well as the slightest hint of helpless attachment.

    His voice was low, and his tone was helpless but extremely soft.”What I have done has never been for you to repay me. As long as you are well, safe and happy, that is the best gift for me.”

    Every time Xie Ciyan handed her a brocade box, Yan Zhaozhao’s eyes turned red.Those boxes of brocade gifts contain his full heart, and those years that have never been forgotten are now being filled up one by one by him.Such affection makes people unmoved.

    “This is your haircut gift.” He opened the brocade box and took out the scroll inside. It was very different from the previous gifts. The silk paper was a little old and the corners were even slightly yellowed, but he collected it very well.

    There was a teasing smile on Yan Zhaozhao’s lips. She thought Xie Ciyan had brought him some ancient paintings.But when he unfolded the scroll and looked at the strokes on it, she didn’t move for a long time, as if she was too shocked to speak.

    In the painting is a sleeping little girl, wearing a hibiscus-colored ruqi, with slightly messy hair on her head, a calm expression, and the corners of her bright red lips curled up, like the first flower blooming on a branch in spring.

    “Is this… me?” she murmured.

    Xie Ciyan chuckled softly, his voice softer than the sleeping face of the girl in the painting, “This is the first time I saw you.” His eyes were lingering, and he touched the eyebrows of the girl in the painting with his fingertips very dearly.”I was on an expedition at that time. I thought about you a lot, but had nothing to think about, so I drew a picture of you, as if you were accompanying me.”

    Yan Zhaozhao stared at the scroll for a long time, her fingertips clenched slightly unconsciously.Each stroke on the scroll was so serious and gentle, and so full of affection that she could clearly feel how much Xie Ciyan missed her at that time.Her heart suddenly tightened and her eyes turned sour, “I…”

    As if he noticed that the girl in his heart was about to shed tears, he hurriedly leaned over and kissed her at the corner of her eye.”Don’t cry.” The voice was full of indescribable warmth and satisfaction, “I couldn’t have you at that time, so I could only look at your paintings to understand my lovesickness. Now that you are in my arms, I don’t need to look at the paintings anymore, so I gave you a hairpin gift and told you again on this day that Zhao Zhao is a glimpse that I want to remember.”

    Seeing tears welling up in her eyes, Xie Ciyan was immediately panicked and pitiful.It would be her birthday in a moment, how could he be willing to let her cry on such a good occasion.She could only coax her in a low voice, “Stop crying. I haven’t seen this year’s birthday ceremony yet. The day Zhao Zhao was born is an excellent day, so you should be happy.”

    She couldn’t help but be startled when she heard that there was a birthday gift. She couldn’t help but feel expectant and curious in her heart. She hurriedly raised her eyes to look at him. A pair of eyes filled with moisture clearly had the word “want to see” written all over them.

    Xie Ciyan picked him up steadily and walked out of the camp. With a tap of his toes, he jumped up and took the lady in his arms straight to the tallest tower in the military camp.The evening breeze was a bit chilly. He hugged her from behind, his warm chest pressed against her back. Seeing that it was almost time, he raised his hand and pointed at the darkening night, signaling Yan Zhaozhao to look there.”Look.”

    Suddenly, an explosion broke through the silent night sky.

    The first bunch of fireworks soared into the sky and bloomed in the sky, like blooming flowers, lighting up the entire night sky.Immediately afterwards, there were bunches of firelight intertwining one after another, one after another, like stars descending from the distant sky, and like a brocade weaving the sky, reflecting the dark night as white as day.

    Red gold, silvery white, peach pink, all kinds of rays of light compete to bloom in the night sky. They scatter as soon as they bloom, and the fallen flowers are colorful, just like a dream.The shadows of people and light overlap, Yan Zhaozhao’s face is full of wonder and joy, and the gorgeous fireworks are reflected in her eyes, which is incredibly beautiful.

    Xie Ciyan held her tighter, and the warmth from his arms was better than any fire.”Blessed birthday.” He whispered in her ear, “May the rest of my life be smooth, healthy, and peaceful.”

    She didn’t look back and stared intently at the fireworks carefully prepared by Xie Ciyan for her.The fingertips gently landed on the back of his hand and tightened slightly, silently responding to his precious thoughts.

    A warm feeling surged in Yan Zhaozhao’s heart. The fireworks in front of her were so dazzling, but they couldn’t compare to what Xie Ciyan had done for her.How lucky she was to have his affection.

    On the other side of the desert, Huo Sui, who had been entrusted with an important task by the emperor and was working hard to light the fireworks, was panting and sweating on his forehead. He was obviously very tired.When the last fireworks were lit, he dragged his almost exhausted body back and saw soldiers in the army rushing toward him.

    “General, general!” He was so panicked that he couldn’t even speak clearly.

    “What? Do you have any evil thoughts towards me, General? You looked at me and you were stunned, and you couldn’t even speak.” His tone was light and lazy, as if he was making jokes with them in the past.

    “Bi Luo, Miss Bi Luo… was robbed by bandits!”

    Huo Sui’s mind went blank, and his face suddenly changed in the next second. His eyes were stern and gloomy. He didn’t look lazy at all. The aura around him was cold, as if even the air around him was frozen by him.

    ————————————————————————————————————————————

    The next chapter is about the scenes between Huo Sui and Bi Luo. Xie Ciyan and Zhao Zhao may not appear much, or may not even appear at all~
