His eyes swayed, and his lips were pursed and turned pale. It was very cold at night, a cold that penetrated his bones.

He was silent and she didn't speak.

Until he was completely sure that there was no softening in her eyes, he endured the stinging pain in his heart and raised the corners of his lips with difficulty, but it was particularly sad. Zhen Shan looked away, not daring to look more, for fear that she would be soft-hearted.

"You haven't asked me my name yet," he said softly.

Zhen Shan was stunned. For some reason, there was a hint of sadness in her heart. She suppressed the emotion she shouldn't have and pursed her lips without speaking.

He smiled, his eyes were very gentle, "How about you ask me?"

Their eyes met, Zhen Shan slowly expressed his face, "Well, Mr. Nian, can you tell me your name?"

He smiled and nodded, "Of course, it's another year, another year of annual rings, and another good spring."

"Nian, again," Zhen Shan repeated his name slowly, "I remember."

Nian smiled slightly again, "Will you always remember it?"

Zhen Shan was silent for a moment, and Nian lowered his eyes again to hide the gloom in his eyes. He wanted to say something to change the subject, but he felt his throat was extremely dry. Suddenly, a soft word came to his ear.

Mr. Nian suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her intently.

Zhen Shan pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, I will always remember Mr. Nian's name."

She couldn't respond to his feelings, but she would never forget his help to her and those clear and flawless eyes.

Mr. Nian smiled so much that his cheeks were stained with intoxicating pear dimples, "That's enough."

He gently held her hand. It was so fragile, yet incredibly warm and soft, calling him nostalgic. He was also careful, for fear of hurting her at all, and let go before she felt uncomfortable. "You didn't sleep all night yesterday. You should have done it."

I’m very tired, go and have a good rest first, I’ll see you off tomorrow.”

Zhen Shan did not refuse, "Thank you."

…

The light gauze is dragging on the ground, and you can vaguely see the bright maple forest outside, with the faint fragrance of lotus lingering, and the silence is so reassuring. Zhen Shan is lying on the soft couch. Although his eyes are closed, he does not feel sleepy.

He said that he had tidied up the bedroom and there would be nothing to embarrass her, but in the end she chose to rest on last night's mess.

A place like a bedroom shouldn't be a place where a casual encounter can happen.

She should be able to leave here tomorrow. Zhen Shan always felt a little weird thinking about the initial conditions for clearing the level, which made her unable to calm down and sleep.

The gauze curtain suddenly swayed gently, and the lotus fragrance in the air became richer. Zhen Shan felt a line of sight falling on her face, gentle and careful, as if afraid of waking her up.

She knew who it was. He had hugged her before, and she had smelled a scent on him that was stronger than ordinary lotus fragrance, but not cloying. On the contrary, it was very elegant and pleasant. However, he did not make a sound, and Zhen Shan did not open his eyes.

There was only a gentle heartbeat and breathing in the small pavilion.

Zhen Shan sighed in her heart. She never quite understood what Mr. Nian liked about her. His feelings were a little confusing to her, but they were also so straightforward and passionate that they caught her off guard. Unfortunately, this pure love could only be let down.

.

She left earlier and disappeared from his eyes. Gradually, even if he remembered her, he would only lament her as a passer-by in his spare time, and they would never see her again in the future.

The breeze blew by, causing the gauze curtains to fluctuate like waves, just like his heart, which would never be calm as long as he looked at her.

The moon was setting and the white mist was rising. One of them closed his eyes and pretended to sleep all night, while the other sat next to her and stared at her quietly all night. She knew that he was there, and maybe he also knew that she was not sleeping at all. However, no one took the initiative to break this atmosphere.

.

Zhen Shan didn't know what else to say to him when he opened his eyes, and he also knew that he couldn't keep this epiphyllum in his heart.

The wind blew over her face, very softly, and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Zhen Shan opened her eyes. She hadn't slept for two nights, and her face could not hide the tiredness. She sat up, rubbed the center of her brow, and let

I look more energetic.

She walked out of the small pavilion and walked to the front hall of the small building. Brother Lu and the others rested in the small pavilion on the other side. They all got up at dawn and returned to the small building to wait for her.

"Are you up? Let's have breakfast first."

Mr. Nian sat at the dinner table and smiled lightly at her.

Zhen Shan paused and walked over, "Morning."

His eyebrows were gentle and he said, "Morning."

Zhen Shan looked at Brother Lu and the others, "Have you eaten?"

"Eat, you can eat first. Mr. Nian has been waiting for you for a while, so don't worry about us."

After the words fell, the three of them were a little silent because they thought of one thing, is this considered clearing the level?

There were so many things that happened last night that they almost forgot the most important thing for a while.

They just glanced at the two people facing each other at the dinner table, and looked at Mr. Nian, whose frosty features turned into a gentle breeze after Zhen Shan appeared, and their hearts felt a little heavy.

They had forgotten before: those two people were actually from two different worlds.

Perhaps it was because Mr. Nian was so human that they kept forgetting that he was a game boss with the ability to turn the world upside down, rather than a player struggling to survive on the edge of the cliff of death.

Lin Rong had some unbearable expression on her face, but no one knew what to do about this kind of thing, and outsiders couldn't say anything.

Sister Peng patted her on the shoulder, and the three of them looked at each other, pretending they didn't know anything, and sat by the window in the corner, pretending to enjoy the scenery.

After the meal, Mr. Nian put down his chopsticks and said warmly: "Will you accompany me for a walk in the maple forest?"

Zhen Shan met his expectant eyes, her words of rejection stuck in her throat, and she only nodded slowly.

The three people by the window looked at them unconsciously, and Mr. Nian said calmly: "You three can walk around the villa as you like."

Three people: "Uh... ok."

Zhen Shan nodded lightly to them and followed him out of the small building in the middle of the lake.
