The two of them walked in tandem, with Pei Yin always following Shen Ningning. He was very silent, and Shen Ningning was not familiar with him, so the two rarely communicated with each other.

Looking at the little girl's back, Pei Yin thought for a while and took the initiative to care.

 “Is Her Royal Highness the Princess’ hand healed?”

Shen Ningning was startled and looked back: "What kind of hand injury?"

 She was not injured!

Pei Yin was also stunned, thinking she was joking.

So he glanced around to make sure no one else heard, and then said: "It's what the princess said in the letter, her hand was cut."

 Shen Ningning was even more confused.

 “What letter?”

Looking at her reaction, Pei Yin's heart gradually sank.

“Princess, don’t worry, Pei is not a person who covets wealth, and he will not tell a third person about the correspondence between the two of us.”

Shen Ningning stopped completely.

She was very surprised: "When did I write to you? Mr. Pei, if I remember correctly, we have met no more than five times, so how can we write letters!"

Pei Yin was stunned and said in a deep voice: "A long time ago, Meng Yi has been helping us carry letters back and forth. So far we have written more than thirty letters."

Shen Ningning opened her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.

The little girl quickly explained: "Although Mengyi often comes to me asking for food, I have never seen it holding any letters."

Pei Yin’s eyes darkened.

Looking at her, it doesn’t look like she’s pretending.

"What about the whistle? Mengyi recognizes life. It won't go without a whistle. Didn't the princess get the whistle I gave you?" Pei Yin asked.

Shen Ningning shook her head decisively: "There is no whistle. Meng Yi knows that I have food here, so he comes uninvited every time, so there is no need for a whistle."

In order to make Pei Yin believe that he was not lying.

Shen Ningning broke off a branch from the bush.

Write on the ground one stroke at a time: "This is my handwriting. Is it like this in the letter you saw?"

Pei Yin observed for a moment and shook his head: "No."

So the person who has been corresponding with him is not Princess Funing?

Who could that be?

at the same time.

Mo Lingwei was also lost on the other side and bumped into Qi Xiuwei accidentally.

 The two of them were trapped in a dead end and had no choice but to turn back.

Mo Lingwei saw Qi Xiuwei following him, and his face became cold.

 “You find your own way.”

Qi Xiuwei was helpless: "But Your Highness, this is the only way out."

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips and simply stopped.

 “Then you go first.”

If others see Qi Xiuwei with him, he doesn't know what to say.

 He didn't want Shen Ningning to hear such rumors.

 Fortunately, Qi Xiuwei didn't want to be alone with him and left quickly.

However, she encountered more forks in the road and saw that the time was coming. Qi Xiuwei was afraid that she would not be able to get out and cause trouble to everyone.

So she secretly took out her whistle and blew it.

The hawk's whistle is sharp, but it won't make the shopkeeper think someone is cheating.

However, Pei Yin, who was two streets away, suddenly heard this familiar voice.

 But when he went out today, he locked Mengyi in a cage to prevent it from going out to eat randomly.

 So, the person who blows the whistle will not call the eagle.

 But he heard the sound and headed in that direction decisively. "Princess, I'll excuse you." He had to find out who had taken the whistle and pretended to be Shen Ningning to correspond with him for so many days.

Shen Ningning didn't know that the voice was calling an eagle, and thought it was the shopkeeper reminding her that the time was almost up.

"Yeah, I have to get out quickly, otherwise my brother will be in a hurry."

She lifted up her skirt, quickened her pace, and walked in another direction.

Qi Xiuwei blew the whistle as she walked, but she couldn't wait for Meng Yi to lead the way.

She sighed: "Hey, I must be busy with Mr. Pei."

Just when she wanted to rely on herself, she discovered that Pei Yin, whom she had just read, was standing not far away.

Those dark eyes looked at her without any fluctuation.

After a moment, Pei Yin moved his eyes downward and saw the eagle whistle Qi Xiuwei was holding in her hand.

 Qi Xiuwei never expected to meet him here.

Her heart was beating wildly, and her face turned shyly pink.

“Mr. Pei, why are you here?” She took two steps forward and said hello.

However, when Pei Yin opened his mouth, he asked a question.

“Did you steal the whistle from Meng Yi?”

Qi Xiuwei was stunned: "Steal? I didn't. Didn't you ask Meng Yi to bring it to me?"

Pei Yin pursed his thin lips into a straight line, and the dark air pressure became more obvious.

“I asked him to bring it to the princess. He must be greedy, so he brought the whistle to you first.”

 Qi Xiuwei froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

"Is that for Ning Ning? Then... Mr. Pei, the letter you have been writing to me is also for the princess?"

Pei Yin did not hide anything.

He took a deep breath, feeling annoyed in his heart for his absurdity, which even others could admit.

"Yes." He nodded: "I thought the person who had been corresponding with me was the princess."

 Qi Xiuwei opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

 After a long time, she said anxiously: "This is a misunderstanding. I, my letters of concern for you are all what I want to say to you, not... not Ning Ning..."

But Pei Yin said: "This way of sending messages is really dangerous and abrupt. After this incident, I would like to apologize to Miss Qi. We should not exchange letters in the future. Please return the eagle whistle to me."

Qi Xiuwei's complexion suddenly turned pale.

 He wants to take away their only connection.

 So, whenever she looked at the letter written by Pei Yin to her, it was a few numbers, but enough to comfort her. In fact, Pei Yin thought that he was communicating with Shen Ningning.

 She thought the secret of her happiness turned out to be someone else's substitute.

Qi Xiuwei's eyes were red. When she handed the eagle whistle back, she couldn't help but ask: "Master Pei, I am fourteen years old. We have been exchanging letters for several years. Even if you know today that it is not me, but... Don’t you have any tolerance at all?”

"I am the one who cares about you, I am the one who shares the changing seasons with you, I am the one who recommends good books to you when I see them, I am the one who knows that you originally only wanted to be a wanderer, but why, you know I seem to be very disappointed in the future, did you have your eye on Ning Ning from the beginning?"

Pei Yin frowned.

 “No.” That’s not what he thought.

 It just feels a little ridiculous.

It’s been so long that even the person writing the letter can get it wrong.

Every time he saw Shen Ningning passing by, he thought she was the one who wrote the letter. Naturally, when he saw those beautiful handwriting, Shen Ningning's face appeared in his mind.

 So he felt embarrassed and felt that he should stop.

 It was the two girls who were trying not to get hurt.

 But he was not good at words, and Qi Xiuwei felt even more disappointed.

 Her eyes were red and her heart was filled with tears.

"I know what you mean, so I'll give it back to you." She placed the eagle whistle heavily in Pei Yin's hand, and then ran away without looking back. (End of chapter)
