Behind the Seven Buddha Hall stands an ancient Bodhi tree that blocks out the sun and clouds, lush and green, towering up to the sky.

Lin Ruozhan, who was running around like a headless fly, suddenly had his eyes light up and he quickly pulled his people around behind a tree.

It was not until she stopped that she seemed to suddenly realize something and suddenly loosened her hand: "Yes, I'm sorry..."

Under the shade.

Her face flushed red with nervousness and shyness, but her bright eyes were surprisingly bright as she glanced gently across the face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes in front of her.

Five years have passed...but he has hardly changed at all, except that he is a little more handsome than I remember.

His eyes were full of surprise, and he seemed to have not yet reacted to how this girl could be so bold.

Lin Ruozhan raised his head. In his memory, he was much taller than himself when he was young. How come after so many years, he has grown taller, but still looks as petite as a child in front of him?

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, and felt her heart beating so violently that it almost burst through her chest.

A romantic and legendary first encounter, a sudden separation, five years and more than 1,800 days and nights of longing for a girl in the boudoir, the feelings that were suppressed, fermented in fantasy, and finally broke out in today's dramatic reunion.

She subconsciously took a step back, leaned against the Bodhi tree, and stared at the young hero in her heart: "Do you still remember me?"

His eyes suddenly became extremely complicated. Looking at the beautiful and graceful girl in front of him, he hesitated and said, "Are you... Miss Lin?"

Lin Ruozhen's face lit up instantly, and she said happily: "I knew you still remember me, don't you!"

Two red clouds flew up her cheeks, and she clenched her hands excitedly: "I have always remembered you too! When I was still young in Jiangdu, I thought you had forgotten me long ago, but you saved me."

"Oh, that's not what I meant. I'm sorry." She was so excited that her words were a little incoherent, but the person on the other side didn't mind.

He gave a helpless smile and whispered, "It's okay."

Memories of the past also emerged in his eyes. That year, he went to Jiangdu under an assumed name. He was about to return to Beijing, but was delayed for several days due to some unexpected matters...

That day, he was on a boat on the lake when he suddenly heard a loud cry for help. It turned out that some woman from an unknown family had accidentally fallen into the water. Three or four figures were struggling to float on the lake, but there were only two boatmen who could rescue them and they could only focus on rescuing the people nearby.

But one of the girls who fell into the water first had been washed far away by the lake and was about to sink to the center of the lake. He estimated the distance at that time and saw that she was closer to his boat and must not be able to wait for the boatman to rescue her, so he took off his cloak and went into the water himself.

Even though he was familiar with water, it still took him a lot of effort to rescue the girl back to his boat...

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the child who was only as tall as his chest back then has now grown into a graceful young lady.

But the face that was still in shock after falling into the water, but still so beautiful, has hardly changed much, and is still as lively as before.

She looked up at him expectantly, as if to show him her brightness and beauty. She spoke hesitantly, "I have always remembered your life-saving grace. But over the years, we have no chance to meet again, and I have never been able to thank you properly."

As she spoke, she bowed and said, "Thank you for saving me in the past, Mr. Chu."

Master Chu quickly turned aside to avoid her greeting and said softly, "It's all old news. Miss Lin, why should you worry about it? There's really no need to be so polite."

Lin Ruozhen seemed to have drunk several bowls of Drunken Immortal Wine at this time. She felt dizzy and still in a dream. She couldn't help asking: "Mr. Chu, are you coming today..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Ruozhen bit her lip in annoyance. This was too unrestrained. She hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "Are you here to accompany the princess?"

But Mr. Chu opposite her looked at her with eyes that she could not understand. There was emotion, reluctance, and a hint of indescribable pity in that look.

He seemed to think it over for a while before finally lowering his eyes and whispering, "I'm here to accompany my second brother."

Second brother?

Before Lin Ruozhen's overly excited mind could figure out the unexpected situation, she heard a clear female voice: "Sister Lin!"

"Ning'er?" Lin Ruozhen turned her head and saw Ning'er running towards her breathlessly. She couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you here?"

Ning'er didn't say much, holding her hand and turning to leave. Lin Ruozhen was anxious and quickly held her back: "Ning'er, what are you doing? I won't leave!"

Ning'er stamped her feet anxiously. She turned around, looked at them again, and pleaded, "Sister Lin, let's go back. We've been delayed for too long."

Lin Ruozhen said anxiously: "But, I haven't asked clearly yet..."

"Don't ask!" Ning'er suddenly interrupted her loudly, "Let's go back!"

She was completely confused: "Why?" She quickly broke free from Ning'er's hand, "I won't leave."

Ning Er finally couldn't stand it anymore and walked forward, pointing at the handsome young man under the Bodhi tree and asked, "Why?"

"Because he is Chu Zheng, the prince of Rui Wangfu, and Chu Yue's elder brother!"

There was a loud bang... Ning'er's words were like a bolt of thunder that suddenly fell from the clear sky.

Lin Ruozhen suddenly felt dizzy. She let out a short scream and stared with her eyes wide open: "No, this is impossible!"

She turned her head to look at Mr. Chu. He was clearly the man she had been infatuated with for five years. She shook her head in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible."

She suddenly pulled his sleeve and said, "Tell me, who are you? She's wrong. Are you Chu Yue?"

Chu Zheng lowered his head, quietly staring at her white hand clasped on his wrist, and said softly: "That girl is right."

"I'm Chu Zheng, the prince of Rui Palace, and Chu Yue's elder brother..."

With every extra word he spoke, the color on Lin Ruozhan's face faded a little. By the time he finished speaking, Lin Ruozhan had already turned pale and was on the verge of collapse.

She fell backwards uncontrollably. Ning Er was so scared that she quickly supported Sister Lin from behind: "Be careful!"

Chu Zheng subconsciously reached out to grab her, but Lin Ruozhen dodged to the side. The two stumbled and barely avoided falling to the ground.

Ning Er was terrified watching from the side, and quickly supported her: "Sister Lin."

As soon as Lin Ruozhan closed her eyes, tears immediately streamed down her face. She bit her lips tightly and refused to cry out.

Ning Er said anxiously: "Why don't you let go? What if it gets bitten?"

Clothes and hair are easy to fix, and even if the makeup is messed up, it's just a matter of re-doing it. But if I really bite my lip, I won't be able to explain to the ladies!

But how could Lin Ruozhen listen to her at this time? She was shaking all over, her eyes were closed, she kept shivering, and tears flowed like a spring.

The whole person seemed to be in convulsion due to excessive stimulation.

Ning Er had already used up all her strength just to hold her up. She said anxiously, "Master Chu, please help me!"

Chu Zheng suddenly woke up from his dream. He took one look and said, "Oh no! Don't let her bite her tongue."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry." Then he used his hand to force her lips apart, and with his other hand he took out a handkerchief and stuffed it between her teeth very lightly.

His movements were very quick, but Ning'er clearly saw that there was a deep bite mark on Chu Zheng's index finger, revealing bloody flesh.
