Si Chong scratched his head. He collected the empty jars, ready to bring them back to the kitchen.

Si Ling, that naggy man, had set up the rule that whether it was the host or the guest, when they saw chores they could do, they should do. No one was allowed to be lazy and wait for the rice to be served to his mouth. 

At first, he had taunted Si Ling for being so old-fashioned. There were so many maids and servants in this private mansion and he didn’t want to order them, but his brothers. But now, Si Chong has gotten used to it. Or, in other words, everybody would form such a habit after staying here for two days. If you don’t, Si Ling would force you to.

“I leave that stuff for you to clean later. Don’t let me suffer from his xuanying palm.” Eventually, Si Chong left the other a warning and also a reminder before taking two bottles, staggering toward the Pine Garden. 

The more he thought about this, the stranger he found it was. Liang En Zai had disappeared this afternoon. Si Luo was also nowhere to be seen. Si Tuo… should have some problems too… Sigh, only him didn’t have anything to do. Well, forget about it. Tomorrow, after he was done with the business here, he would return to Guangci House. His heart was bleeding, staying here and watching the couples showing affections. puretl.com is the original translator, please do not repost

Erm? Is that the Blood Union’s Emperor’s guard? It’s late now. Why is she coming here alone?

Seeing the other approaching closer, Si Chong quickly hid into the shadow of so many trees nearby. He saw the woman pass him, walking straight to the octagonal gazebo, where Si Tuo was sitting. Si Chong tilted his head to one side to think. He chuckled then followed her. While he was so bored because he had nothing to do, something good was about to happen right in front of him. How could he complain?

 

“How are you doing?” Jian Yue’s cold voice pierced through the night, reaching Si Tuo’s ears. 

“How about you? It’s been ten years. Have you accomplished your wishes yet?” Si Tuo finished the last sip of wine. With his back facing Jian Yue, he gripped the handrail to get up. 

“Ha… What a funny question! You were the one who betrayed me. Why are you asking me?” Jian Yue tried to suppress the ache that was burning her heart. Never did she think that after ten years, she would still feel so hurt because of him. 

“Me? Betrayed? What do you mean?” Si Tuo slowly turned around. His cold eyes were determinedly glued to Jian Yue. He didn’t even blink. He was waiting for her explanation as to why she was glaring at him like that? 

“It has no meaning talking about it now… I’m here not to chat with you. I’m here to… give it back to you…” She unfolded her fingers. An emerald ring sparkled in dim light. It was a gift from him to her. However, as their promise was broken, and she heard that it was an heirloom of his family that would belong only to the wife of his family’s oldest son, why would she keep it? However, every time she threw it away, she would rush to pick it back up in seconds. After many times, she decided to keep it and when she met him, she would hand it back to him. 

It was coincidental that he was the Crown Prince’s colleague. And now, after ten years, they met again. She thought that she would scream and cry crazily. However, after ten years of rain, her scarred, tired heart had given up. 

“You keep it! It’s already pointless to give that item back.” Si Tuo glanced at the thing in her palm. He turned around and said in a deep voice. 

He asked her to keep it? What a joke! She couldn’t be with him… How could he ask her to continue to keep it? 

“That day, I was on duty. Because of a mission, I couldn’t get to our date’s venue. It’s because of this that you think that I'm perfidious, don't you…” 

“Mission? Ha… What kind of mission made you go to Kuihua Brothel? And you even stayed there the whole day…” Jian Yue lowered her head and forced a smile, stopping his explanation. 

“It's up to you if you believe in it or not.” Si Tuo turned away. How could his heart be satisfied? He had hurried to finish his mission and go to her. What waited for him was the forever-goodbye delivered by the waiter of the inn. For the whole year after that, he had volunteered to take the heaviest and most dangerous missions from the Court. He had risked his life just to lure himself into a good slumber. He had never thought that she thought that he had betrayed her. 

“Sigh, you guys, let me say something. I remember ten years ago, after accomplishing a mission, A Tuo had completely changed. From that day onward, he continuously took missions. And most of them were the most deadly ones. At that time, we didn’t know what happened to him. So it was because of you?” Si Chong hiding in the darkness finally jumped out and interfered, breaking the heavy silence between the other two. 

“You…” Since when has he’s been here? Why didn't I notice? Right, they were well-known for their mysterious and intimidating skills. She and Jian Heng couldn’t be compared with them. 

“Shut up!” Si Tuo hissed. His face blushed, which was rare, showing his embarrassment at this moment. 

Jian Yue looked at him in a daze. His image in her memory layered on the man standing in front of her. Eventually, they matched. He was the man who had kept her heart aching for ten years, the man she had been yearning for ten years, the man she could never forget.

“You said that you came to Kuihua Brothel for a mission?” Her voice was tender but resolute. She must clarify this knot to release the agony at the bottom of her heart. 

“It’s the past. There’s no meaning to mention it now.” Si Tuo coldly used her own words to stop her. 

Sigh, A Tuo, since when have you become like an old mother? Yes means yes, and no means no… Ah? Ten years ago, Kuihua Brothel… Hey! I remembered it. It was the “Wang Taisui” case, right? Hahaha, woman, you misunderstood A Tuo. That year Feng Yao Court had received a tough case, which was to eliminate Wang Taisui, the secret state police. That man was corrupted. He often visited brothels and stayed for several days. At that time, we used number game to determine who would accept that mission. Si Tuo got the wrong number so he had to do the mission. Oh right, after that, he became…” puretl.com is the original translator, please do not repost

“Enough!” Si Tuo interrupted Si Chong’s babbling. It was enough to explain the situation. Why did he need to mention the one year of himself being depressed?

“Is it so? Why didn't you tell me?” Jian Yue asked, but it seemed she was mumbling to herself. 

“I told you I had a mission that day, and you told me you would wait for me.” Si Tuo turned his head away, trying not to look at her beautiful face as he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control his surging emotion. He thought that he had forgotten after so long. However, the moment he met her tonight, he realized that he had never forgotten her. He used to hate, be resentful, upset, hold a grudge, but he had never forgotten her. 

She was shocked by his faint explanation. Yes, right, at that time, she told him that she would wait for him no matter how long he had left. However, when she saw him enter the Kuihua Brothel for a whole day without coming out, her heart died. She hadn’t been able to think that much.

It turned out, during this whole ten years, not only she had been tortured, but also him…  

“I’m sorry…” Her transparent tears rolled from the corners of her eyes. 

“Hey… you… don’t cry… I’m most afraid of girls crying. Hey, Si Tuo, I’ll let you take it from here… No matter what, she’s here for you. I’m getting out of here… When you are reconciled, don’t forget to give me a big red packet since I’m your matchmaker. I helped you untie the knot anyway.”
