Chapter 142: Discussing Under the Pine Tree

Xu Chuo sat very close, as Pei Ye carefully huddled the warmth of the flame, his head in the fire appearing charred and dry as if rapidly living out its entire life.

Pei Ye stood silently behind her, watching the remnants of the snow around them melting into water stains.

"Thank you, Pei Ye," Xu Chuo suddenly said.

"It's nothing," Pei Ye was slightly startled, "I was going to kill him anyway."

"It's not that," Xu Chuo said, "I mean, thank you for helping me fulfill my and Sister Sisi's wish... It's been ten years."

"You sit down too." Xu Chuo turned back and smiled, patting the ground beside her, "This stone can be shared with you for the moment."

Pei Ye laughed, "So stingy."

"Then don't sit, sit on the ground."

Pei Ye didn't reply.
