Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

That cold winter sun, the wet corpse outside the pond, and Shen Qiu’s pale and deformed face made Shen Miao unable to breathe.

Shen Miao covered her chest, panting heavily.

“Sister!” Shen Qiu was shocked. He helped her up and shouted, “Go and call the doctor! Quick! My sister is not feeling well!”

A hand grabbed Shen Qiu’s arm. He turned around and saw Shen Miao standing up with his hand in hers. She said to the person behind her, “No need, I’m just a little giddy.”

“You are not fully recovered yet. It’s better to get a doctor to take a look at you.” Shen Qiu shook his head and said with concern.

“I’m fine.” Shen Miao said to Jingzhe, who was hesitating, “You guys can leave.”

Her tone was firm and calm, making Shen Qiu stunned for a moment.

“Sister, what’s wrong?” Shen Qiu asked. As soon as he spoke, he was a little annoyed with himself for being too harsh. He usually faced rough men in the army and forgot to be gentle to little girls. Therefore, he softened his voice and said, “When I came back yesterday and saw you trapped in the fire, I was shocked. Sister, why were you in the ancestral hall? Were you locked up?”

Shen Miao shook her head and smiled at him. “I haven’t seen you for a year, Brother. How are you?”

Hearing that, Shen Qiu scratched his head and said with a smile, “I’m alright. I’ve made a few small contributions. When His Majesty rewards me, I’ll let you choose what you like.” Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said happily, “By the way, Father hunted a rare wolf and skinned it to make a cloak. I’ll get a servant to bring it to you later. That cloak is invulnerable to swords and spears, and it’s impervious to fire and water. If you had that cloak, you wouldn’t have been burned yesterday…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Qiu froze. Shen Miao stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his chest.

Even though they were siblings, they were not children after all. For a moment, Shen Qiu was a little embarrassed, but he was also a little happy. It had been a long time since Shen Miao was so close to him, so he was a little flattered. He was happy, but then his heart sank. Shen Miao suddenly became so close to him probably because she had suffered greatly.

He asked anxiously, “Sister, did someone bully you? If someone did, just tell me. I’ll beat them to death…”

She slowly let go and looked up to meet Shen Qiu’s concerned gaze.

“Sister…” Shen Qiu was also stunned. The girl in front of him had bright eyes. When she faced him, her gaze was no longer impatient and agitated like before, but pensive. That feeling was a little unfamiliar to him. He carefully sized up the girl in front of him. After a year of not seeing her, Shen Miao had lost a lot of weight. Her originally slightly round face actually revealed a chiseled chin, making her look much more delicate. Her facial features were becoming more and more clear. At some point, there was no trace of her naivety. When she looked at him, there was a faint relief and a loneliness that one found strange.
