The turbulence in the Shi family ended up with Zhou Ruyu’s being imprisoned in the South House and Zhang Qiuyan’s copying the family rules for three hundred times as a punishment.

Dong Hui was stimulated and went into a coma, and Shi Junhe and Shi Qingxue tried their best to protect her, so she got away with it.

But she was damaged and stayed in her bedroom to recuperate.

Shi Junhe didn’t enter Dong Hui’s room for three days with the reason that he was busy with work.

Although the people in the East House kept it as a secret, and even most of the servants didn’t find the problem, Shi Qingxue knew that Shi Junhe and Dong Hui were at odds.

Shi Junhe didn’t ask Dong Hui about the matter that she dated Yan Lü in the Valentine’s Pavilion secretly at midnight. Maybe he was afraid that it would irritate Dong Hui, or he was waiting for her to explain to him.

Dong Hui didn’t talk about this issue with Shi Junhe. Nobody knew if she thought that it was no big deal, or she was…guilty.

Shi Qingxue was almost depressed to death by her parents’ silent treatment, and she was not in a good mood even when Mo Junyang took her to visit the lake and enjoy the scenery.

Mo Junyang told the boatman to stop the boat by the lake, and he got up, preparing to leave the boat.

Shi Qingxue finally came to reality from her thoughts and also stood up, asking in a hurry, “Where are you going? Didn’t you say that we would have a trip on the lake?”

She also realized that she was not herself today, and she was afraid that Mo Junyang would get mad, so she hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and didn’t let him go.

“Idiot!” Mo Junyang looked back and showed her a gentle smile, which confused her.

Her small hand loosened a little, and she heard Junyang saying slowly, “Wait for me here. I will be right back.”

Nobody knew if Shi Qingxue was numb because Mo Junyang called her idiot intimately or the man looked peaceful or even happy. After he left, she stood at the bow blankly for a long time and looked at his back going away.

He disappeared and then came into Qingxue’s sight again after a while.

He had a paper bag in his hand.

When he returned to the boat and stood in front of her, Shi Qingxue finally sighed with relief.

Then she looked at the bag in Mo Junyang’s hand with curiosity. “What’s this?”

“Here you are. Have a try!” Mo Junyang gave her the paper bag.

He didn’t explain what was inside.

Shi Qingxue was puzzled and opened the bag to have a look. Then she shouted with pleasure at once, “It’s the sweet cake!”

The Shi family’s rules were strict and they never allowed the children to eat the food sold by the street venders outside as they said that they were not clean. Qingxue ate the food secretly only several times when she was a child because her grandpa took her out alone and bought some for her.

After her grandpa passed away, she didn’t have a chance to eat this kind of sweet cake.

Although the chefs in the mansion made sweet cakes later, they tasted different, and the cake which was so sweet that it could make her narrow her eyes just existed in her memories.

Shi Qingxue held a piece of sweet cake with fragrance and lowered her head to take a bite. The familiar sweet taste made her shout in joy, “It’s so delicious!”

Mo Junyang also laughed and raised his big hand to put on her head.

Then he rubbed it gently.

“You once told me that after you eat something sweet, you will feel better.”

“When did I say that to you?” Shi Qingxue had food in her mouth and asked unclearly.

Doubts flashed in her big eyes, and she looked at Mo Junyang.

Why didn’t she remember that?

Logically, the memories about what happened before this life were kept in her brain, and if what happened between them, she shouldn’t have forgotten.

Mo Junyang didn’t plan to explain and smiled at her. “Forget it. It’s not important.”

But his smile seemed to be darker than before.

Shi Qingxue saw that and didn’t feel happy again, as if even the cake was not so sweet.

She chewed it slowly and at last, she felt it tasteless, so she put down her hand and gazed at Mo Junyang.

“You…” She bit her lower lip with difficulty and raised her eyes to peep at Mo Junyang. Then she lowered her head quickly.

After hesitating for a long time, she asked in a low voice, “Did it happen between us in the previous life?”

Mo Junyang caressed Qingxue’s hair slowly and in the end, he stopped and withdrew his hand.

After quite a while, he whispered, “Hmm.”

It was as she expected.

Shi Qingxue was relieved and started to try hard to think of what had happened in the past.

At the moment, she knew that the two lives were about her childhood, but there were differences more or less.

What made her suffer was that she clearly remembered the childhood that she didn’t “experience in person” in a sense, but she couldn’t remember the childhood in the previous life because too many years had passed.

Shi Qingxue thought for a long time and the hot sweet cake began to go cold, but she still couldn’t remember that.

Seeing that Mo Junyang was silent, she hurriedly put the sweet cake in his mouth and tried to please him. “Taste it. It’s so sweet.”

Mo Junyang didn’t refuse but chewed it little by little following Shi Qingxue’s hand.

Shi Qingxue cautiously observed Mo Junyang’s expression. After confirming that he was in a better mood, she asked, “I can’t remember many things in the past. Can you tell me?”

Mo Junyang stopped eating and moved backward, showing that he wouldn’t eat it, but he saw that Qingxue still raised her hand and looked at him with expectancy.

He couldn’t bear to make Qingxue raise her hand all the time, so he had to say, “I am full.”

Shi Qingxue didn’t believe that and still raised her hand, demanding stubbornly, “Tell me.”

Mo Junyang pursed his lips and fell into silence.

After a long while, he stated in a deep voice, “You have forgotten it. Even if I tell you, you won’t know that.”

Shi Qingxue shook her head repeatedly and explained in a hurry, “No, I won’t. As long as you remind me, I will remember it soon.”

She said that seriously, and Mo Junyang couldn’t help but believe her words.

Gee, even if it was not true, could he bear to let her down?

Mo Junyang shook his head with a bitter smile. He had known that he could never refuse Shi Qingxue, so he stopped struggling and took her back to the boat.

Then he asked slowly, “Do you still remember when we met for the first time?”

He was afraid that Shi Qingxue would misunderstand, so he stressed purposely, “Not in this life, but at the beginning of the previous life, when we first met each other.”

Shi Qingxue’s face wrinkled in embarrassment, and she felt depressed.

How could she remember what had happened so many years ago?

Perhaps she bullied Mo Junyang as he was a hostage.

At this thought, Shi Qingxue wanted to cover her face and find a hole to hide.

Seeing Shi Qingxue’s expression, Mo Junyang guessed that she couldn’t remember anything.

Maybe he was mentally prepared, so he didn’t show a disappointed expression.

He explained casually, “You were only five years old then. You were brought into the imperial palace by the old general for the first time.

“It was Empress Dowager’s birthday party, and you were dressed up and very beautiful. You had two round buns on your head, as pretty as a little fairy.”

It seemed that the little girl with three heads and baby fat in his memory was in front of his eyes, and his stiff smile became gentler.

He was so gentle, like the warm spring, which could melt a person in it.

Shi Qingxue was complacent as she was beautiful and adorable when she was a child, but she couldn’t help envying the little girl that Mo Junyang missed so much.

Although she knew that she thought like this because she got into a blind alley, she still pouted with displeasure. She grabbed Mo Junyang’s sleeve and shouted, “Continue to speak. You can’t miss her.”

Mo Junyang was amused and helpless as she was “jealous”, and he had to continue, “You were so young and didn’t know anybody, but you weren’t afraid at all in an unfamiliar environment. When the elders didn’t notice, you went away sneakily and even got lost in the imperial palace…”

Shi Qingxue opened her eyes wide all of a sudden. “It’s that time!”

She finally remembered it.

When she was five years old, her grandpa happened to return with victory from the battlefield, and it was the empress dowager’s birthday party. In the daytime, her grandpa took her to walk on the streets and alleys in the capital, and she tasted much food that she had never eaten, and the sweet cake was one of them.

She liked eating sweet food and walked away after tasting the other food, but she insisted on asking her grandpa to buy several pieces of sweet cake for her before putting them in her pocket.

After entering the imperial palace, she thought of nothing but the sweet cake. As soon as she finished talking with a group of unfamiliar adults, she found a quiet place with nobody around and continued to eat her sweet cake.

As a result, when she was satisfied and prepared to go back to look for her grandpa, she found that she got lost.

She couldn’t return to where she had been after walking here and there, so she was anxious and almost cried.

Later she found a big brother who was dirty all over his body with blood stains in a corner. Then she ran to him quickly and looked at him with expectancy, saying many nice words as she wanted to beg him to take her back to the party.

But the big brother Mo Junyang glared at her coldly. “I won’t go!”

He yelled loudly and was cruel and distant. But the little fairy Shi Qingxue was bold and wasn’t frightened. She even realized with a broad and long-term view that this big brother must be too clever and wouldn’t be bought over with the empty nice words, and she needed to give him something practical.

So in order to go back home, little Qingxue took out the “most valuable thing” at hand, the sweet cake and made a deal with the clever Mo Junyang who couldn’t be seduced.

When she was trying to market her sweet cake, she thought of the big brother’s unhappy face and said that after he ate something sweet, he would make all his injuries and bad feelings fly away!

The adult Mo Junyang would surely contemptuously dismiss such words, but the sweet cake was undoubtedly a big temptation for the young and hungry boy.

The big brother Mo Junyang ate the little fairy Shi Qingxue’s last sweet cake and then took her back to the party. When he left, he was beaten again by the princes who disliked him.

But nobody knew if it was the psychology effect or the sweet cake was really so magical, and for the first time, Mo Junyang didn’t feel so much pain that he couldn’t get up after being beaten.

Therefore, Mo Junyang always remembered that sweet cake and the little fairy who gave it to him. He thought about her for a long time, even though when he saw her again, everything changed, and that little fairy had become a teenage girl and couldn’t remember him.

All Shi Qingxue’s memories returned to her brain, and her face stiffened in an instant. Seeing that Mo Junyang was still looking at her, she complained first, “You yelled at me then and refused to help me. And you even cheated me out of my last sweet cake.”

Mo Junyang was also stunned and then became overjoyed. “You remember that?”

“Hmm!”

Mo Junyang knew that she misunderstood and hurriedly explained, “When you saw me, I was…”

Mentioning the period when he was in the most difficult position in his two lives, Mo Junyang felt awkward and his voice was lower. “I just had a fight with the princes and was hungry for a long time, so I was bad-tempered. Don’t be mad.”

Shi Qingxue wasn’t mad at Mo Junyang, and she knew that he said he “had a fight” must because when they were young, Mo Junhao and the others bullied him, a hostage, depending on their identity. When she was an ignorant child, she did that many times.

She felt more ashamed and stuttered to explain, “I wasn’t mad. I just…just…”

She couldn’t speak it out, but she didn’t want Mo Junyang to misunderstand her, so she had to prove with her actions. She walked to the man quickly.

Then she grabbed his hand and lowered her head, whispering, “I was joking with you.”

They had said that, so it would be pointless if they continued to argue.

But Mo Junyang was unwilling to let go of Shi Qingxue’s hand, and he brought her to him conveniently.

Before Shi Qingxue spoke, he asked, “Are you unhappy today because of the issue in your family?”
