When Xu Youyou saw the osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, she could not help but pick a few to bring back to the room. It would keep the room scented for a long time. She could also dry them to be used for art or she could make wine out of them.

At this moment, the moon hung high in the sky. It illuminated a petite figure who was squatting down in the courtyard, carefully trying to pick the osmanthus flowers.

As Xu Youyou stood up, one of the flowers fell. When she bent down to pick it up, a sudden gust of wind blew it away. She straightened her back and looked at the yellow flower fluttering in the air as the sound of leaves rustling rang in her ears. She laughed when she saw the flower dancing in the air like a yellow snowflake.

Mo Shenbai did not know when he alighted from the car after speaking to Old Madam Xu. He stood by the car and silently watched this scene with his dark eyes.

The moonlight shone on her cute face. Her smile was like the sun that could melt all the cold and chase away the darkness.

The surroundings were so quiet that he could hear his heart thumping in his chest. He felt as though he could hear a cracking noise from the ice around his heart.

At this time, Xu Youyou seemed to have sensed his gaze. She turned and saw Mo Shenbai standing nearby. She walked to him with the osmanthus flowers in her hands and said, “Mo Shenbai, looked at these osmanthus flowers. They’re really fragrant.”

Mo Shenbai’s gaze fell from her smiling face to the dainty yellow flowers in her hand. However, his gaze quickly returned to the smiling face. His voice unconsciously softened as he said, “Yes, they smell nice.”

At this moment, when the corners of his lips curled up into a smile, his eyes twinkled as well.

Xu Youyou looked at him in a daze. “You… You smiled.”

Mo Shenbai had naturally smiled before, but it looked superficial. She felt as though this was the first time she had seen his smile.

Mo Shenbai did not deny it. “You don’t like to see me smile?”

Xu Youyou immediately shook her head. “It’s good to smile. It’s good for your mood and health.” She pursed her cherry lips before she added, “You look really good when you smile.”

Mo Shenbai’s smile deepened. “Do you plan to stay here tonight or go back with me?”

After thinking about it for a moment, she said, “Let’s go back. I have classes tomorrow, and I didn’t bring my drawing supplies here.”

Mo Shenbai nodded. “Then let’s go home.”

Xu Youyou nodded. She did not notice that he had said ‘let’s go home’ instead of saying ‘let’s go back to Moon Pavilion’ like he usually would. She raised her hands and asked, “Then what about these flowers? I want to make dry flowers.”

Mo Shennbai thought about it for a moment before he opened his pocket on his jacket and said, “Put them here.”

“Your suit is very expensive. I think I’ll ask Aunt Pei to…”

Before she could finish speaking, he grabbed her wrist and guided her hands to the top of his pocket. He said patiently, “It doesn’t matter, put it in.”

Xu Youyou raised her head and met his dark eyes. Her heart stirred uneasily as she slowly put the osmanthus flowers she was holding into his pocket as though she was putting in a treasure.

The duo looked at each other with a spring-like smile on their faces.

In an unlit room on the second floor of the house, a tall figure stood by the window. The figure drained the content in a crystal glass as a meaningful smile appeared on the figure’s face.
