Mu Jingyan ducked in and came to stand in front of Xiao Yujue, his eyes glancing at the official document in Xiao Yujue's hand from time to time.
Xiao Yujue couldn't help but laugh secretly when she saw Mu Jingyan was hesitant to speak and cautious. She didn't know why, but all the tension and helplessness in her heart were relieved in an instant.
"Jing Yan, what do you want from me?" Xiao Yujue asked knowingly, he just liked to see Mu Jingyan hesitate.
"I think..." Mu Jingyan lowered his head, wiggling his fingers and feeling a bit at a loss.
After all, official documents sent to and from the front line are confidential and not everyone can read them.
"You and I are friends in need. Is there anything we can't say directly?"
Xiao Yujue's tone made Mu Jingyan relax a lot.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yujue, pointed to the official document on the desk, and said: "Actually, I want to inquire about my brother's situation. How is he doing on the front line? Is he safe? Is he injured?"
Xiao Yujue saw real concern and anxiety in Mu Jingyan's eyes, and his heart moved slightly.
Feeling emotional for the true love between the Mu brothers and sisters.
These sincere flesh-and-blood relationships are probably not found in the royal family.
"Everything goes well. Don't worry, your brother will be back soon." Xiao Yujue said softly.
"That's good." Mu Jingyan felt relieved, "This is good news, and it can be considered..."
She lowered her eyes and looked sad, and said softly to herself: "This can be considered a birthday gift from my brother."
Xiao Yujue was stunned and asked: "Today is your birthday?"
"Yes." Mu Jingyan let out a long sigh of relief, "Your Highness, it's very late, I'm going back."
"good."
Xiao Yujue watched Mu Jingyan walk out of the study lonely, and felt a pity in her heart.
He remembered the scene when Mu Jingyan risked his own life to save him last time.
There has never been a woman in his life who was willing to risk her life for him.
After Mu Jingyan washed up and was about to undress and go to bed, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
As she asked, she opened the door and saw Xiao Yujue standing at the door with a smile on her face.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Mu Jingyan's heart sank and he asked anxiously, "You came to me so late. Did something happen to my brother?"
"No, but I suddenly remembered that there is something I should do for your brother. You go in and get dressed, and then follow me."
Mu Jingyan felt puzzled, but after all, Xiao Yujue was the prince, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She turned back to her room, put on a thick cloak, and left the mansion with Xiao Yujue.
Xiao Yujue took Mu Jingyan to the city wall. The bright moon was in the sky, and the soft moonlight enveloped the earth like a veil.
"Your Highness, we are..."
"Shh." Xiao Yujue made a gesture of silence, and then clapped his hands.
"boom!"
As a loud noise broke the silence, bunches of brilliant light appeared in the sky, blooming into beautiful sparks, colorful and beautiful.
Mu Jingyan looked at the fireworks in the sky, his eyes filled with surprise and joy. He was as happy as a child, shouting loudly to the bright night sky.
After a long time, the fireworks burned out and the surroundings became quiet again.
Mu Jingyan looked into the distance and said nothing for a long time.
Gradually, tears welled up in her eyes, and bursts of sadness and pain spread in her heart. She tried her best to hold it back, but she couldn't hold it back in the end.
Mu Jingyan knelt down, hugged himself with his hands and cried.
Xiao Yujue was stunned and a little at a loss.
"Jing Yan, what's wrong with you? Do you... don't like it? I'm sorry, time is short, and I don't know what to give you. You... please stop crying."
Xiao Yujue handed over his handkerchief. When Mu Jingyan raised his head and looked at him again, tears were already streaming down his face.
She hesitated slightly, then took the handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"I'm sorry, I don't know... It turns out that girls don't like fireworks. Just think of it as I owe you a wish. Tell me what you want. As long as it's within my ability, I will definitely help you.
accomplish."
Mu Jingyan sobbed and shook her head. She took a deep breath to calm down her emotions.
"Your Highness, I'm fine. I like the gift you prepared for me very much. I just... felt it for the moment."
Mu Jingyan stood up and cast his gaze towards the bright moon on the horizon.
"In the past, every time I celebrated my birthday, my parents and brother were always with me. Now...my parents are gone. I didn't expect..."
Mu Jingyan looked back at Xiao Yujue. This aloof future prince could actually take the trouble to celebrate her birthday.
This made her feel that there was more warmth in this world.
"Your Highness, thank you." Mu Jingyan said sincerely.
Xiao Yujue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Silly girl, as long as you like it. I didn't expect it to make you fall in love. Anyway, happy birthday."
Mu Jingyan smiled happily, and the tears in his eyes were filled with warmth.
Xiao Yujue took out an exquisite box from his sleeve.
"Please accept the gift I gave you."
Mu Jingyan opened it and saw that it was an exquisite hairpin.
"I'll put it on for you." Xiao Yujue picked up the hairpin and put it in Mu Jingyan's hair, "Girls should dress up beautifully."
At this time, Xiao Yujue was very close, and Mu Jingyan could feel his breath. Her heartbeat could not help but accelerate, and a blush quickly appeared on her cheeks.
This birthday left a deep mark on her life.
Good news kept coming from the front line. Mu Jingrui brought letters home to Mu Jingyan, hoping that she would not stay at the border and return to the border to keep company with Guan Wan Ning.
Mu Jingyan was a little unhappy, but Xiao Yujue also asked her to go back, so she had no choice but to agree.
In the early morning, Mu Jingyan sat in front of the mirror and combed his hair, his mind filled with images of the time he and Xiao Yujue were together last night.
She spread the hairpin in the palm of her hand and held it tightly, her heart rippled in circles.
"Jing Yan?"
Mu Jingyan was startled, and finally came to her senses. She turned around and saw Shangguan Wan Ning standing behind her.
"Wan Ning? Why did you come in?" Mu Jingyan's cheeks were hot, and she avoided Shangguan Wan Ning's appraising eyes with a guilty conscience, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"
"I've been knocking for a long time." Shangguan Wanning noticed something strange about Mu Jingyan and asked with concern, "Jing Yan, are you okay? Are you sick?"
"No." Mu Jingyan nervously grasped his long hair and put down the comb.
She looked around and saw that there was no one else in the room, so she pulled Shangguan Wan Ning to sit down.
"Wan Ning, there's something... I want to ask you."
"What's up?"
"Just...how are you sure that you like my brother?"
