Having said that, Long San didn’t pay any more attention to Lu Jianxi and went straight into the Yamen. Seeing Long San suddenly turn cold, and appearing truly angry, Lu Jianxi simply followed him and said, “I heard from Ye Ge that Lord Long San is very discreet and wouldn’t hold a petty grudge against Jianxi, would you?”
Long San glanced back indifferently, and then looked at Lu Jianxi, “Why would I? I merely wanted to see the Plum Forest in the backyard that Lady Song mentioned at noon. Since you want to express your apologies, why don’t you e along and enjoy it with me?”
There was no particular expression on Lu Jianxi’s face, but she was actually interested and gestured grandly towards the backyard, “Lord Long San, please—”
…
Inside the room.
Ye Ge was carefully wiping Nan Feng’s body. He knew she always liked to be clean and felt unfortable without a bath for a day. Although she couldn’t take a bath now, it was still necessary to wipe her down with hot water.
Nan Feng shrank into Ye Ge’s embrace, “Did you miss me on the days you went to war?”
“I can’t think of you during the battle, but at night, I do.”
“That’s not fair, I miss you day and night,” Nan Feng said.
Ye Ge carefully turned Nan Feng’s body over to wipe her back, speaking gently while doing so, “Then I’ll make it up to you in the latter half of my life.”
“That’s more like it.”
After he helped Nan Feng get dressed again, they lay down on the bed together, and as he caressed her little face, he said, “The days you were missing, they were really hard for me. Once, I sat by the edge of a cliff and thought about just jumping off.”
“Don’t you ever!” Nan Feng also lifted her hand to touch Ye Ge’s face, “But… it must’ve been because you didn’t think of me during the battles, so the heavens punished you.”
Ye Ge laughed, then shared what was on his mind, “Tuoba Lie said that you knew her from before?”
Nan Feng nodded, “He’s right, I knew him before I met you. Ye Ge, if I said that I don’t belong to this era, would you believe me?”
“Not of this era?” Ye Ge couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Could it be that my Fengfeng really is a fairy descended to earth?”
“I’m no fairy,” Nan Feng chuckled, “You know, we usually divide time into the past, the present, and the future. A very distant past we call ancient times, a far future, we call it the future. Ye Ge, I e from a very distant future, probably about… a thousand years from now.”
“A thousand years from now? What is that era like?” Ye Ge was very curious.
“In that era, there are no horse carriages but cars, and airplanes that fly in the sky. For example, if you drive a car from here to our Dayping village, it would probably take two days to get there. With an airplane, it’s even faster, just two hours.”
“That miraculous?” Ye Ge stroked Nan Feng’s little face, “Is my Fengfeng dreaming?”
Nan Feng couldn’t help but pout, “Ye Ge, you don’t believe me.”
Ye Ge held back the wave of amusement rising in his heart and looked at Nan Feng earnestly, “Then keep talking, Fengfeng. If you can convince your husband, then I’ll believe you.”
