A few months ago.

When Bai Yixuan returned to the Bai Yi Town.

Arriving at the ferry entrance, the old man in the rowboat suddenly asked, "Miss, where's the young master who came here with you last time?"

Bai Yixuan did not say anything, she only laughed, and the old man understood what was going on, and did not continue asking.

When Bai Yixuan looked around, she felt as if a cold river had splashed onto her body. The old man was still focused on rowing the boat, but Bai Yixuan's heart felt empty and lacklustre, as if she had not found a boat to shore.

"Miss, why have you come here today?"

"I don't know either." Bai Yixuan was speechless, why did she come here, why did she come here to look for traces of Mu Yefan? The current Tian Zi had once gambled here, is this matter interesting to hear?

Mu Yefan was truly a person who knew everything, and following him would give him a sense of assurance, as if there was no need to worry about anything else.

"Miss, did you have a conflict with that young master '?"

"No."

"Then what did that young master do to let Miss down?"

This time, Bai Yixuan was quiet for a long time. Did Mu Yefan let himself down? He seemed to have always been thinking of himself, and it was only because he did not tell the truth, and even if Mu Yefan did not personally come to save him, the person Mu Yefan sought out was his own father. In this world, other than Mu Yefan, the person who truly treated him as his father was Mu Yefan.

However, at that time, he would never have thought about it so much, and at that time, what he thought about most was Mu Yefan's change of heart, and did not care about him that much.

When he had married Xiao Ziyi back then, that look Mu Yefan had when he looked at him. Even now, Bai Yixuan had no way of forgetting that look.

"He didn't let me down. He was just hiding something from me, and he did it for my own good."

With regards to this matter, his father had even specially come to him to talk about it, because he did not believe that he was truly willing to marry Xiao Ziyi. But at that time, he was very stubborn, and was fundamentally unwilling to hear anything else from his father.

At that time, he couldn't understand his father, and he couldn't understand Mu Yefan. Even if he truly understood, he still wouldn't be able to accept Mu Yefan's deceit.

"Does the young lady think that all of this can be forgiven?"

"Yes, I've already forgiven him, but there are some things I can't accept."

Bai Yixuan didn't want to stay in the Imperial Palace, so she had no way of looking at the three palaces and six courtyards behind Mu Yefan. In love, Bai Yixuan was incomparably selfish, and she couldn't even tolerate a single Song Lingyi.

As such, it was better to just quietly leave.

"The girl is different from most of the women I've seen."

"How is it different? Is it more stubborn, more stubborn, or what? "

"Neither."

"Then what?"

"Girls think differently from girls of this age."

"Perhaps these thoughts are my bondage." Otherwise, she believed that Mu Yefan would definitely treat his well. That Song Lingyi would only be a decoration for his entire life, but even so, Bai Yixuan was not satisfied. Even she, who was greedy, was afraid.

"We're right in front."

After Bai Yixuan paid the money, she got off the boat. It was even more lively on the shore, but it only added to the emptiness in Bai Yixuan's heart.

Her appearance attracted a lot of people on the island. Last time, when Bai Yixuan came, he was still a man, but this time, after she changed into a woman's outfit, she attracted a lot of attention from the people around him. However, Bai Yixuan did not care about these things at all, until a man stood in front of him.

That man was ugly. In short, Bai Yixuan did not want to bother with him, but after walking a few steps, she found that this man was simply unwilling to let him go.

"What are you going to do?"

"Lady, are you from this island?" the man asked, licking his face.

Bai Yixuan shook her head, "I'm not, I came to this island to drink."

"Little girl, aren't your thoughts so wild? Isn't drinking on this island a gift for this grandpa?"

Bai Yixuan knew what this man meant, but she was not willing to bother with him, but this man's unrelenting attitude was hateful. Bai Yixuan thought, if Mu Yefan was by her side, perhaps she would not even need to speak, this man would already be lying on the ground, unable to stand up.

"What are you trying to say? Can it be that only men come to this place? Can't women come?"

"Why don't you go back with me, I guarantee you will enjoy yourself."

"Which eye of yours thinks I can't afford to eat?"

The man saw that Bai Yixuan did not know how to appreciate the kindness, and was about to attack, but was stopped by a voice.

Bai Yixuan raised her eyes to look at the approaching person, it was Hua Xie. At that time, Hua Xie was extremely respectful to Mu Yefan, and it was likely that the man knew something, or perhaps, his eyesight was extremely good.

"Stop." Hua Xie stood beside Bai Yixuan and looked coldly at the man in front of him. Bai Yixuan knew this person's story, and also knew that he was used to it.

That person recognised Hua Xie, if one were to say that Hua Xie's position here was the same as the position of an emperor on land, that person immediately did not dare act rashly, and Hua Xie said coldly, "In the future, this person will not be allowed to come to Xiao Jin Dao."

The surrounding people nodded in agreement, and Hua Xie looked at Bai Yixuan, his expression becoming much better, "Why is white girl interested in coming to my Xiao Jin Dao today?"

"No other reason but that you want to drink. There are too many people outside, so it's quiet here."

There were too many people who were worrying about her outside, and Bai Yixuan even felt that it was extremely difficult to even breathe, yet what Bai Yixuan wanted was to find a place that she didn't know and drink in peace.

"white girl, then please come in. If you are willing, I can drink with you."

"That's good."

Bai Yixuan followed Hua Xie and entered Smoke Willow San Yue. The lights were still on, people were coming and going, the dancers were all beautiful.

Just this single glance was sufficient to make one feel as though he had been attracted by the environment and that he was unable to leave no matter what.

"What wine does white girl want to drink?"

"Bai Yidu."

"Alright." Bai Yixuan watched the dancers dance in silence, and for a moment, the two of them did not speak. After a while, Hua Xie smiled and said, "I wonder if white girl is satisfied with this song and dance?"

Bai Yixuan nodded, "Not bad, even outside dancing like this is rare."

"Then how is it compared to the capital?"

Bai Yixuan laughed, "Perhaps the capital is not as good as this Xiao Jin Dao?"

"How so?"

"After all, the Xiao Jin Dao brought true freedom, and the Capital brought only despair."

Bai Yixuan did not say anything. She was still smiling, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

"What happened to white girl? Why did they return to this place?"

"A place where I was born and raised. Shouldn't I come back? No matter how good it is in the capital, it can't be compared to home, right?"

"Could it be that the place with the Young Master Mu is not the home of the white girl?"

"Nope." Bai Yixuan's expression changed, and Hua Xie did not continue speaking, but instead, he poured wine into Bai Yixuan's mouth, "Since it's like this, then we don't need to continue anymore. white girl, if you're unhappy today, drink with the wine, and when you're drunk, forget about everything else."

"Alright, but my alcohol tolerance is too great. Drunk is very difficult, and I have no other choice."

"That would be troublesome." Hua Xie smiled. "That person is no longer the same person from before. Why did you leave?"

"Naturally, I feel that I'm not worthy of him."

"Miss sure is joking."

"How is that a joke?"

"When Young Master Mu saw the look in the lady's eyes, I felt that the Young Master Mu must have loved the lady."

"Do you think that the love in this world won't change?"

"At least the love of that Young Master Mu will not change."

For a moment, nothing came out of his mouth. Bai Yixuan drank even more fiercely, and Hua Xie did not stop him.

"You can't forget him, can you?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you go look for him?"

Bai Yixuan did not speak.

Hua Xie looked at Mu Yefan who was standing in front of him and sighed, "As a man, I always want you to give in first. I can't just let a girl come and find you, right?"

Mu Yefan did not nod his head nor did he shake it. In short, his gaze was somewhat evasive, and it was true that he had delayed on the way for too long.

"I have something for you."

Mu Yefan took out a plate from his bosom. It was something that Mu Beiche had given him that day, and he still hadn't forgotten the conversation he had with Hua Xie back then. It was just that Mu Yefan didn't have the power he had a while ago.

"This is for you."

"You can bear to part with this, but I'm afraid this is not the present one given to the Young Master Mu."

"Indeed, but come to think of it, I really have no use for it. If I can give it to you, it would be pretty good. I'm still very confused about your identity. Are you really just a merchant on this island?"

"Of course."

Mu Yefan did not continue asking and just left after finishing his wine for the night.

Bai Yixuan watched as the rain of fireworks completely dissipated before finally leaving. The scene before him right now was definitely better than this one, and at that time, he did not have that much trouble either, all she had was the obsession that she had always been hoping for.

Standing in the wilderness, feeling the cold air around him, Bai Yixuan felt that she was truly living in this world. If he really didn't come back, then she would get used to a world without him sooner or later.

Habit was a word that sometimes scared people, but there was no other way to get used to it.
