Jiang Wanru thought she was seeing things, but it was indeed Yu Xixi walking towards her. She wore a pale pink flower-patterned cloak with a matching scarf around her neck, which set off her still youthful face like a radiant flower. What was most striking was that there were no tears on her face as usual, and instead, she had a smile as fleeting as a morning glory. Her entire being was so beautiful it seemed unreal, walking in the snow as if strolling through an immortal realm, carefree and ethereal.

  If it weren't for the two women following closely behind her, if it weren't for Jiang Wanyu and Xun Chun who were equally stunned, Yu Xi would be the only immortal in the world. Yu Xi walked up to Jiang Wanyu's face, she lowered her head and examined Jiang Wanyu carefully for a long time, she asked in a soft voice: "Don't you feel sad?" Jiang Wanyu didn't feel sad at this moment, but instead worried that Yu Xi had been heartbroken to the point of madness, she looked up cautiously and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"

  Yu Xi didn't respond to Jiang Wan's words, and instead raised her voice slightly, asking again: "Aren't you heartbroken?" She insisted on hearing Jiang Wan's response. The two women had already walked behind Yu Xi, and were about to grab her when Jiang Wan said: "She's already gone back, let her be." Upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, Yu Xi turned around to look at the two women and calmly said: "You can follow if you want, but don't interfere with my actions."

  Yu Xi turned her head again, looking into Jiang Wanru's eyes and asked: "Aren't you heartbroken?" Qiu Chun saw that she kept asking Jiang Wanru questions one after another, so he stood aside with a tense expression, hinting at Jiang Wanru to answer. Jiang Wanru carefully observed Yu Xi, who seemed out of sorts, and felt that the person in front of her wasn't there to listen to her own answers, but just wanted to hear an echo that would satisfy her.

  Jiang Wanru slightly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her gaze was clear and distinct. She spoke in a light tone, "What's worth being sad about?" Her small face was calm, with an obviously thin expression. Yu Xi listened to her words, but looked stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, bending over at the waist. When she lifted her head again, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, yet her smile was exceptionally bright and radiant. Jiang Wanru watched her like this, feeling extremely distressed in her heart. She reached out to support Yu Xi, but Yu Xi stood up straight and dodged away.

  Yu Xixi stood up straight, quietly lowering her head to gaze at the young woman in front of her. The tears on her face continued to flow down, and the smile had disappeared from her beautiful face. This Yu Xixi, however, made Jiang Wanyue let out a slight sigh of relief. Yu Xixi looked at Jiang Wanyue, sizing her up from head to toe, as if she had never seen this person before. She observed her carefully and thoroughly. After a moment, she stepped aside and walked forward, muttering to herself: "You are the daughter of Jiang Anhe."

  Jiang Wanru was shocked by Yu Xixi's words and rushed forward to block her path, looking at her with determination and saying: "I am your only biological daughter, I am your relative." Yu Xixi stopped in her tracks, her face covered in tears, but her eyes were evasive as she said: "But I'm very sad, a sadness I've never felt before."

  "Big sister, the marriage I arranged for you is the best one I could have gotten for you. She was my best friend when we were young, and her temperament is gentle and considerate towards others. I thought that if you married her, your life would be better. But now it's been taken away by someone else, and everyone is laughing. I see the happy and joyful smile on her face, why? She used to be my best friend!" Yu Xi looked at Jiang Wanru and asked, the two women took a few steps back upon hearing this, and Chun's face was already covered in tears.

  Jiang Wanru heard her words, and tears couldn't help but fall. After her family gave up on Yu Xixi, the person she loved abandoned her next, and she felt that reliable friends once again abandoned her in front of everyone. Yu Xixi replied by herself: "Is it my fault? His promise only lasted as long as a cup of tea. My past happiness was just a fleeting moment. Now, my sorrow and despair are endless, day after day, with no end in sight.

  I feel so tired, the gaze of everyone makes me feel so exhausted. Why are those smiling days so short and fleeting like a dream? Why can't I find my way back? I'm so tired, yet there's no road to return." Yu Xi Xi stretched out her hand, grasped Jiang Wan Ru's shoulders tightly, and shook her while asking.

  Jiang Wanting unintentionally raised her head and looked at Qiu Chun, seeing the same frightened and lost self in her eyes. Jiang Wanting glanced at Yu XiXi, saw her empty and dull eyes, her mouth moved a few times, and she said: "You still have me. I will grow up, our days will be better." Yu XiXi heard her words, but suddenly burst out laughing, releasing her hands, leaning forward to stare at Jiang Wanting's eyes, with deep hatred in her eyes, she laughed and said: "I can't see or hear your sorrow. Do you know? I don't want to see you,

  Your eyes are too dull, just like the way he used to look at me. You're his daughter, I hate you. This vast and desolate land, only I am left, this sky is so cold." Qiu Chun glanced at Jiang Wanru's pale face and reached out to support Yu XiXi, saying: "Miss, it's cold, let's go back." Yu XiXi followed her intention and walked forward with her, leaving Jiang Wanru staring blankly at her back. Qiu Chun turned around and looked at Jiang Wanru, her eyes also filled with helplessness.

  Two women stopped in their tracks and said to Qiu Chun, "Qiu Chun, it's too cold outside, and Yu Niang's body is not well. Take her back early and don't let her go out again." Qiu Chun looked at the two of them and slowly said, "Thank you for your good intentions." Ji Yan had rushed over by this time and happened to hear Yu Xiuxiu's last words. She came over and pulled Jiang Wanyu, saying, "Miss, we're going back. It's cold, and next time we need to find someone, I'll come instead." The two women looked at each other, gazing at Jiang Wanyu standing still in the snow, with a hint of pity in their eyes.

  One of the two women said to Jiyuan, "Jiyuan, go back with your young lady. The marriage between Eldest Miss and Young Master Lian has been settled, and the wedding date has also been set by both families." Jiyuan heard this and quickly looked at Jiang Wanting, seeing that she seemed not to have heard the words, her eyes fixed straight on the direction where Yu Niang went. The two women saw this and similarly signaled to Jiyuan to be careful with Jiang Wanting, one of them saying in a low voice, "Jiyuan, if you're afraid Third Miss will lose control, go back and lock the courtyard gate, think of a way to hide."

  Jiang Wanru stood in the snow, and for the first time in her life, she felt that this snow was falling just right, getting heavier and heavier. The earth quickly covered up all the traces, and Yu Xixi and Wen Chun's footprints soon disappeared into the snowy ground. Jiang Wanru had thought about why Yu Xixi didn't want to see her, and it was related to Jiang An. She felt that every time she saw herself, she would think of that unfaithful person, and for these years, she had been calmly accepting reality.

  Ji Yan stared at Jiang Wanru, who was standing there in a daze, and saw that her eyes were blank. She stretched out her hand to push her and said: "Miss, you're a good person. Yu Niang is too heartbroken, that's why she's talking nonsense like this." Jiang Wanru came back to her senses from Ji Yan's shaking, looked into her panicked expression, and after regaining her composure, she said to Ji Yan: "Xue Dajie, let's go shovel snow!" She wiped away the tears streaming down her face.

  Ji Yan looked at her, suddenly squatting down in the snow, and burst into loud sobs, saying: "Miss, you cry too, I feel comfortable every time after crying." Jiang Wanru had already wiped her face clean, she was taken aback by Ji Yan's sobbing, a smile appeared on her face, but in an instant, when she heard Ji Yan's words, her tears fell again, she reached out and pulled Ji Yan saying: "Ji Yan, let's go."
