Afterward, Xia Dabao began counting sheep, one sheep, two sheep, three sheep… and she actually fell asleep.
Another room.
Nan Feng had also finished her bath, but before bed, she would apply some moisturizing cream she made herself to her face. She only used it herself and never told anyone because she didn’t want to publicize that she had made skincare products before.
She believed that whether it was Dazhou or Dajin, there would definitely still be people persistently searching for them.
While applying cream to her face, Yege entered the room, stripped off his clothes, and prepared to get into bed. Seeing Nan Feng still in front of the mirror, he called her, “Fengfeng, e here, it’s time to rest.”
Just then, Nan Feng noticed a fine line at the corner of her eye, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit lost, “Yege, I have wrinkles.”
“Where? Let me see,” Yege said.
When Nan Feng came over, Yege timely embraced her in his arms, kissed her once, and asked, “Where?”
Nan Feng pointed to the corner of her eye, “Here.”
“Where? I can’t see it,” Yege wondered.
Nan Feng leaned closer to Yege and pointed to the area around her eye bag from memory, “Right here, look.”
“Still can’t see it,” Yege said.
Nan Feng then playfully hit him on the chest, “You’re so annoying, always trying to cheer me up, pretending you can’t see it when you clearly do.”
Yege then hugged Nan Feng, “You know, even if you had lots of wrinkles, I wouldn’t mind. Besides, getting wrinkles is not a big deal, look, I have them too.”
“Really?” Nan Feng took a closer look, “Yes, you do have some when you smile, but not when you don’t.”
“See, we are the same, you don’t mind me being old, how could I mind you being old?”
Nan Feng laughed again in Yege’s arms, and after a while, she kissed Yege, “I feel very happy with our time in Peach Blossom Village, what about you?”
“I feel the same, having you, Abao, and Axian, you all are the most precious in my life,” Yege said.
The two smiled at each other again, then the candle was blown out, the bed curtains were drawn, and the headboard started to shake.
…
“The Carrier Pigeon has arrived!”
In the morning, while Xia Dabao was washing her face, she suddenly saw the white pigeon and instantly became excited, although she was initially in no mood.
The white pigeon landed in the yard, flapping its wings a few times, then made several sounds.
Xiaobei was startled when she saw the white pigeon, but then she ran out from the dog house. Xia Dabao hurriedly went over to hold the Carrier Pigeon, then gently kicked Xiaobei away, “Go away, this is not food; it’s a letter from Aixi.”
She unwrapped the letter from under the pigeon’s leg, fed the pigeon some leftover food, then locked it in the cage.
As she opened the letter, Xia Dabao was somewhat dumbfounded.
The letter was of the same length as usual, but the text was clearly much smaller and more abundant, making it a bit hard for Xia Dabao to read.
In the letter, Long Aixi mentioned some of his circumstances and said he planned to stay on an island for a while and might not be able to write for a few months, hoping Dabao wouldn’t forget him.
Dabao smiled, thinking that after several years of correspondence, how could she just forget him.
Long Aixi also said that he had originally wanted to ask his parents to take him to visit for a while, but since they didn’t have time, he desperately hoped to see Xia Dabao, and he asked her: What about you?
Xia Dabao thought, of course, I want to see you too, I don’t even know what you look like.
