Nianxia glanced at Yanyu and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, another big house has been built next door to us. The owner..."

Yān yǔ shook her head, signaling Niàn Xià to stop talking.

Nianxia shrugged and said no more.

Fu Jiu Jiu looked over and saw the two people's little movements. "What's wrong? Who is it?"

It's been ten years, the changes in officialdom should be quite significant. The place next door, which was previously empty and not even a proper dwelling, now has someone living there. She doesn't mind that much now.

If you have a good relationship, there will be no problem with harmony between neighbors.

If not, then let well water not pollute river water.

"Why aren't you speaking? Do I know the person who lives here?"

Nianxia looked at Yanyu, who remained silent. She too said nothing.

"Alright, you guys go ahead and get some rest. We'll talk tomorrow."

After the two girls walked away a little, they whispered amongst themselves.

"Smoke and rain, do you think the county princess will be curious?"

Yān Yǔ nodded, "If you continue, the county princess will guess it all. I told you not to say anything."

"I'm not afraid she won't pay attention, am I? Oh, I only said one sentence."

"Our County Lord is who, even at the age of four, her little brain could match an adult's. Now ten years have passed, she's probably even more intelligent."

Niàn Xià shrugged, "But hasn't she been asleep for the past ten years?"

"So what? Our young mistress is smart, no matter the rules she follows."

"Well, you can talk after all. No wonder people want you."

"It sounds like you're saying no one wants to marry you, but that's not true. Your master hasn't said anything against us getting married."

"That's gotta be suitable, though," Nianxia sighed.

Of course, Fu Jiujiu wouldn't hear what the two people were saying.

Her martial arts skills were impressive for a child, but ten years later, everyone around her had improved while she remained stagnant.

Well, at least her mind is still working. Otherwise, she'd better start practicing more.

Fu Chi-Chiu also quickly lay down, but he wasn't really tired. After all, they had been playing their way here, and when they were tired, they would find an inn to stay at. They would rest up and then set off again.

Fu Jiujiu lay in bed, the furnishings in the room were just as they were ten years ago.

Suddenly, she heard birds chirping outside.

Chirping and tweeting?

Fujuj's first reaction was that these were two old friends.

She quickly put on her shoes and got out of bed. It was already late summer, not so hot anymore, and even a bit chilly in the evening.

She opened the window and peered out. The two birds chirped and chattered, but they weren't Gigi and Chatty.

Two birds saw Fu Chiu Chiu pop its head out and flew away in fright.

Fu JiuJiu thought that sparrows shouldn't be out this late at night, so she decided to follow them.

The sparrow flew very quickly. Fu Chi-Chi's light kung fu hadn't been used for a long time, and was a bit rusty. However, he swayed precariously but luckily didn't fall.

A sparrow flew over the wall, while Fūchī fell on top of it.

It's strange, how come this new neighbor shares a wall with her?

Does this count as infringement?

Looking at the size of this mansion, it must belong to a very wealthy family. How could they even be unwilling to spend money on building walls? Are they trying to take advantage of her?

Fu Jiujiu waited quietly, only hearing the sounds of cicadas and frogs. She didn't notice the aura of a master hiding in the shadows.

But the two birds were even more interesting. Seeing that she hadn't followed, they flew back and circled around her.

Fujujijiu found it very interesting, "Where are you taking me?"

Two little birds were very frightened. They probably didn't expect Fu Chi Chi to be able to speak to them.

Fujujiao saw them flapping their wings and couldn't help but chuckle lightly, then leaped to follow them.

Two little birds flew to the eaves of a house and flew in through the open window.

Fujujiao naturally couldn't go inside, so she ended up on the roof.

I thought I'd first inquire about the new neighbor.

However, the next moment, she heard movement behind her. Before she could react, she was already enveloped in a warm embrace.

Her sheer dress didn't reveal much, but after flying for so long in this chilly night, she was really starting to get cold.

The warm chest behind her would continuously transmit warmth into her body.

Who is it?

The voice was low and raspy, with a hint of tremor, unfamiliar to Fu Jiu Jiu. It was the voice of a mature man.

But she remained calm and collected, her eyes sparkling like a thousand stars, each one shimmering with unshed tears. "Behave yourself! You're still holding me. Just you wait, my brother Tang Qi will hear about this and have your hands and feet cut off!"

The man laughed heartily, "Who is Tang Qi? I've never heard of her."

Fu Jiujiu felt herself being held very tightly, as if she were about to be merged into his body. "My Tang Qigong is the most amazing person in the world. You've never heard of him because you're ignorant."

What's so good about him, anyway? He can't even protect you.

"Nonsense..."

Fu JiuJiu struggled to turn her head, facing the man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. They were too close, their breaths mingling in the air between them.

She raised her hand, her cool fingertips tracing over the man's moist star-like eyes, his beautiful eyebrows, a little bit at a time, inch by inch.

"If he can't protect me, then no one in the world can."

Fu Jiu Jiu's teardrops, as big as pearls, rolled down her cheeks.

Although she felt that it hadn't been that long, just a few months, seeing this scene made her feel like she had traveled thousands of years. It felt like an eternity.

The man before me was no longer a boy. He exuded the aura of a mature man, his presence even more commanding.

"Tang Qi gege!"

Tang Xian embraced her tightly, pulling her into his arms with all his might. At this point, he no longer cared about anything else; everything came from the depths of his heart.

After a long while, Tang Xian pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

Hugging isn't really a big deal for Fu Jujju, after all, modern people greet each other this way too.

But this kiss, as if carrying the deepest and highest tenderness, made her a little dazed.

She tried to pull the two apart, after all, she was a young lady now.

Before, she would tease the younger brothers at will, not blushing or feeling embarrassed because of her age. It satisfied this old auntie's vanity.

Now, that's no longer possible; we've lost that convenient condition.

"Don't move, let me hug you." Tang Xian's voice was very soft, his tone low, as if pleading.

Fu Jiujiu was once again trapped in his embrace, unable to move.

"You heartless wretch, you only come to see me at the last minute."

There was a cool breeze on the roof, and being held by him, Fu Jiujiu felt it wasn't bad, at least it was warm.

"Didn't you come to see me either?"

Tang Xian said with a slight complaint, "Every time it's me who goes to see you, why can't you take the initiative to come see me once?"

"Didn't I just get here?"

"You're late!"

Fu Jiujiao stuck out her tongue, but she heard the man say: "You're late, there will be a punishment."

Punishment?

Fu Jiu Jiu thought about how he had always been considerate of her and would never be willing to punish her.

In an instant, she froze. Her whole body was as stiff as wood. So this was the punishment he'd talked about...

What a shame!

See you tomorrow!
