Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

After saying that, Jin Youyuan stood up and turned to leave. Suddenly Zhou Xinyue said, "Don't go. I'm scared."

Jin Youyuan suddenly stopped, turned around and slowly walked back to the bed, and said gently: "Okay, I won't leave, I'll stay here with you, okay?"

Zhou Xinyue nodded. She was silent for a while, then slowly approached Jin Youyuan and rested her head on Jin Youyuan's legs. Jin Youyuan gently stroked Zhou Xinyue's hair.

Zhou Xinyue felt an unprecedented sense of security from Jin Youyuan. There was a faint scent of agarwood on Jin Youyuan, which smelled very nice.

Zhou Xinyue was actually very touched. She was grateful for Jin Youyuan's silent dedication and for his timely appearance that day. If it weren't for him, she couldn't imagine what would have happened that day.

Zhou Xinyue was terrified when she thought about this kind of thing. No matter if it happened in modern times or now, she would be very frightened.

For a girl, encountering such a thing leaves an indelible psychological shadow in her heart.

Jin Youyuan gently stroked Zhou Xinyue's hair with his hand and said gently: "If you feel tired, take a good rest. I will accompany you."

Zhou Xinyue was silent for a long time and couldn't help but said: "Thank you, Ayi."

Jin Youyuan said gently: "Why are you being so polite? What's the point of saying thank you between us?"

Zhou Xinyue said softly: "I have never encountered anything like this, whether before or now, this is the first time."

"Don't worry, this is the last time. I will never let anyone else hurt you again."

Zhou Xinyue nodded and said, "Thank you, Ayi!"

Jin Youyuan gently stroked Zhou Xinyue's hair and continued, "Although this man is dead, I'm afraid the person behind him will not give up. This man killed the distant nephew of the servant in the mansion and took his place in the mansion. After entering the mansion, he deliberately disguised himself and deceived everyone. His intentions are sinister! The servant confessed that he had only seen his nephew when he was a child and hadn't seen him for more than ten years. He thought the child had grown up, but he never thought that his nephew had been dealt with long ago."

Zhou Xinyue sat up slowly and said softly, "Can I turn on the light?"

Jin Youyuan nodded and said, "Of course."

After saying that, Jin Youyuan lit the candle and the room became bright. It took Zhou Xinyue's eyes a while to adjust to the lit candle.

Zhou Xinyue wrapped herself tightly in a quilt and sat on the head of the bed, saying, "Ayi, can you promise me one thing?"

Jin Youyuan came over and said gently, "You say."

"Ayi, let's just leave it at that! Okay? I don't want to pursue this matter any further!"

Jin Youyuan looked at Zhou Xinyue in surprise and asked, "Why?"

Zhou Xinyue was in a very low mood for a while and continued, "I don't want to dwell on these things anymore. Let's just let it go! Let's end this matter here!"

Jin Youyuan didn't look at him, but looked forward. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, I promise you, I won't pursue this matter any further!"

"Thank you, Ayi!"

Jin Youyuan sighed and said, "You've said thank you a lot tonight!"

Zhou Xinyue remained silent and did not answer.

Jin Youyuan continued, "When you saved me, you were not so polite. Now, you are so polite. How can I feel?"

Zhou Xinyue was silent for a while and then said softly: "I saved your life, and you saved mine, so we're even!"

Jin Youyuan looked at Zhou Xinyue and said gently, "Is that what you think? Even? What if I don't want to be even with you?"

Zhou Xinyue looked up at Jin Youyuan in surprise. Jin Youyuan's affectionate eyes seemed to reveal a deep emotion.

This strong feeling was so overwhelming that Zhou Xinyue seemed to be deeply overwhelmed by it at this moment.

Jin Youyuan gently held Zhou Xinyue's hands and continued, "Yue'er, I want to..."

"I'm sleepy, Ayi, I need to rest."

After saying that, Zhou Xinyue hurriedly lay down and covered her head with the quilt. She seemed to be able to hear her heart pounding.

Jin Youyuan was at a loss for words by Zhou Xinyue's sudden reaction. He didn't know if it was his sudden confession that made her so disgusted. Jin Youyuan suddenly felt very guilty.

The hand that was slowly stretched out remained in the air, as if there were many words that he wanted to say, but he didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere was so awkward at the moment, and Jin Youyuan didn't know that Zhou Xinyue was so disgusted.

Jin Youyuan was silent for a while, then said gently, "I'm sorry, Yue'er, I...I offended you with my words tonight. Since you are tired, you should have a good rest. I will come to see you another day!"

Zhou Xinyue lay with her back to Jin Youyuan and didn't say anything. She only heard the sound of a door opening and closing. After a long while, the room was very quiet, without Jin Youyuan's voice or breath.

Zhou Xinyue slowly sat up, looked up at the door of the room, and glanced around. The room was empty at this time, and in this quiet atmosphere it seemed that only her own heartbeat and breathing could be heard.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Xinyue said this in a very low voice.

Zhou Xinyue knew that the twenty-ninth prince was no ordinary person. He would definitely have his own career plan in the future and fight for what he wanted. He would not be content with being ordinary, so he would definitely fight in the game of power.

As someone who has experienced life and death, Zhou Xinyue is really not interested in these facts and does not want to get involved in any right or wrong.

Zhou Xinyue has always wanted to spend the rest of her life picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely viewing the southern mountains. She never wants to get involved in right and wrong. People who have experienced life and death have long since become indifferent to all of this, and believe that a simple life is a blessing.

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to be a concubine and doesn't want to share her husband with others. She is a new-age woman in the 21st century and absolutely cannot accept the idea that having a bunch of concubines is normal behavior in this era.

Rather than being mistaken for being jealous, it is better to retire to the mountains or live in seclusion in the city, which is worse than being a concubine.

Zhou Xinyue sat on the edge of the bed in a depressed mood, and was in a daze for a long time.

Just like that, feeling her heart cracking like glass, Zhou Xinyue asked herself, "Zhou Xinyue, what's wrong with you?"

I don’t know how much time had passed, but when Zhou Xinyue was woken up again, it was already the next day. The sun was already at its zenith, and for some reason Zhou Xinyue had two dark circles under her eyes.

Jingrou greeted him with a smile and said happily, "Look, Yue'er, there are several more four-season butterfly orchids in this yard. They are so beautiful. And, look quickly."

After Jingrou finished speaking, she opened the window, and immediately a breeze with a fragrance blew into the room. Zhou Xinyue took a deep breath of the fresh air and felt refreshed.

The air was filled with a very refreshing fragrance. Jingrou said happily, "Yue'er, come and see, these flowers are so beautiful."

These pink and tender flowering trees make the yard colorful.
