I can absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, so I don’t need to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister...\" Xiao Qing sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Brother Xiao left, it was like her sister’s soul had left with him. She just sat in the courtyard every day, waiting for Brother Xiao to come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, she heard a noise and ran outside excitedly, thinking Brother Xiao was back. It just turned out to be a weasel trying to steal chickens from the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a fit of pique, my sister threw all of them into the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Qing, do you think Xiao Mo hates me now?\" Bai Ruxue asked nervously, clutching her younger sister’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister...\" Xiao Qing said helplessly. \"There’s no way Brother Xiao could hate you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why hasn’t Xiao Mo come back? Could he have run off with another woman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Sister...\" Xiao Qing was mentally exhausted. \"Brother Xiao said he was going to get something made and that he’d be back in a couple of days. He should be back today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue nodded, her gaze still fixed on the small path outside the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But despite what Xiao Qing said, Bai Ruxue’s heart was still filled with anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it have been what I said that night? Did I scare Xiao Mo away?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe he doesn’t want to keep his promise anymore?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Or maybe he decided Magistrate Sun’s daughter was actually a good match and went to Qingshan County to marry her?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All sorts of wild guesses kept bubbling up in Bai Ruxue’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought, the more worried Bai Ruxue became, and a thin layer of mist gradually veiled her beautiful, peach-blossom eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Sister, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?\" Xiao Qing asked in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, please don’t cry...\" Xiao Qing was at a loss, unsure of how to comfort her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiao Qing was panicking, she saw a figure appear on the path in the distance, walking step by step toward their courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she could make out the man’s appearance, Xiao Qing’s eyes lit up. \"Sister! Brother Xiao is back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue’s head snapped up, and she looked out past the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiao Mo saw Bai Ruxue staring at him with teary eyes, he thought something was wrong and immediately quickened his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong? Did anything happen in the few days I was gone?\" Xiao Mo asked the two sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing’s wrong, Brother Xiao. I told my sister you’d be back in a couple of days, but she...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing was halfway through her sentence when her sister tugged on her wrist, forcing her to swallow the rest of her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo turned his gaze to Bai Ruxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head was bowed, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were wet. Teardrops still clung to her long, curved lashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo had a pretty good idea of what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This silly girl probably thought I’d abandoned her and run off.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Either that, or she suspected I went to Qingshan County to marry Lord Sun’s daughter.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Qing, take this jug of wine to the village chief. It’s a gift from Lord Sun,\" Xiao Mo said, handing a small jug to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Brother Xiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing took the wine, glanced at Brother Xiao and her sister, and then hurried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Brother Xiao wanted to be alone with her sister and was giving her an excuse to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing had no objection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her sister’s current state, only Brother Xiao could calm her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the courtyard, only Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue kept her head bowed, her small hands tightly clutching the hem of her dress. Her little red nose sniffled, creating a look so pitiful it made one’s heart ache, yet was also utterly adorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo smiled, reached out, and wiped the tears from the corner of Bai Ruxue’s eyes. \"Don’t cry. I’m back now, aren’t I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue kept her head lowered and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I brought back two skewers of tanghulu. They’re in my bag. Do you want one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue still didn’t answer, only biting her lower lip gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about some osmanthus cake, then? The kind from Fang’s is quite good. I brought some back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Bai Ruxue did not respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo felt at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s true, though,’ he thought. ’A girl confesses her feelings to you, and not only do you have no reaction, you then disappear for a few days without a word. That was pretty cruel of me...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiao Mo was wondering how to coax her out of her mood...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue reached out a delicate hand, her slender, jade-like fingers gently tugging on the corner of Xiao Mo’s sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A summer breeze swept by, playfully lifting the hem of her dress. The loose-fitting fabric clung to her body for a moment, outlining her graceful curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few strands of her hair fluttered in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind carried the scent of the forest—of grass and damp earth—and with it, her own faint, fresh fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Mo... I was wrong...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was as soft as a butterfly landing on a flower petal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you do wrong?\" Xiao Mo asked, not understanding why she was apologizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I shouldn’t have been secretly angry with you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was choked with sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shouldn’t have been so desperate for your answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I definitely shouldn’t have secretly called you a big rotten egg behind your back, saying you don’t keep your promises...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Mo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue looked up, her beautiful peach-blossom eyes shimmering with crystalline tears, like glazed-glass peach blossoms soaked in a clear spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll be really good from now on...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t throw any more little tantrums...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can just love you secretly, in my heart...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can pretend I never heard what you said before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to marry me anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Xiao Mo, just... please don’t leave me again, okay...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her voice trailed off, a crystalline tear slid slowly down her fair cheek. It fell unhindered to the ground, shattering into droplets that caught the late-summer light before seeping into the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo reached out, gently caressed her cheek, and wiped away the tear from the corner of her eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silly girl, you haven’t done anything wrong. I’m not going to leave you. Besides, you’re already very well-behaved. And what’s more...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo chuckled. \"Who says I’m not going to keep my word?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Bai Ruxue froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I went to Qingshan Town this time to have something made for you. It takes two or three days to make, and since it’s a long journey, I decided to just wait there. As soon as it was finished, I rushed right back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Mo took a brocade box from his robes, took Bai Ruxue’s small hand, opened her palm, and placed the box in it. \"Go on, open it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue stared at the brocade box in her palm and dazedly opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden ring met her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ring was engraved with an exquisite floral pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, it looked a bit like Purple Sun Grass and Cyan Dragon Flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This ring...\" Bai Ruxue stared blankly at Xiao Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where I’m from, we have a custom. When a man and a woman have feelings for each other, the man proposes with a ring. If the woman accepts, he places the ring on the ring finger of her right hand. There’s a saying: ’The nameless finger, for a heart that now belongs to someone.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My trip to Qingshan Town this time was to have this very ring made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruxue, are you willing to wear this ring... and marry me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue looked at the ring as tears once again slid from the corners of her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not willing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she said, lifting her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not willing... right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue stared, mesmerized, at the man before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Chen said that getting married is a huge bother. You have to hold a banquet, invite guests, and go through all sorts of formalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s already the end of summer, and next March, you have to go to the Capital City for the metropolitan examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You said when you were little that you wanted to be an official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a critical time for your studies. How can I let you be distracted?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next year...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruxue clutched the ring tightly to her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next spring, when you come back from the examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come and marry me then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I will marry you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1440,"2026-06-02T09:37:02.634Z",1,"novelbin.me","14b461632a12f7504cd189c1febfeff605346d843f428d9d975a551b6fa9a45a","beauties-in-simulation-cross-over-into-reality-chapter-52","beauties-in-simulation-cross-over-into-reality-chapter-200",355,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeauties-in-simulation-cross-over-into-reality-cover.jpg"]
