Ye Suhuan saw Jun Wuxian, took two steps forward, and introduced himself, "Big brother, it’s me, Ye Suhuan."

Calling him "big brother" was something he picked up from Xiao Jiu.

Jun Wuxian was somewhat surprised, yet also curious, "So it’s the Third Prince. Why are you wearing a mask? After you disappeared for so long, I almost thought you..."

After Xiao Jiu’s disappearance, Ye Suhuan had vanished as well. Everyone assumed the two of them had run into trouble together.

Ye Suhuan’s slender fingers touched the cold mask, and he smiled, "It’s become a habit. When did big brother return?"

"I’ve been back for a few days," replied Jun Wuxian.

Ye Suhuan was surprised, "I’m just finding out now. How about we have a drink together tomorrow?"

Jun Wuxian smiled, "I’m afraid that won’t be possible. I’m returning to Daxia tomorrow."

Ye Suhuan mistook this to mean Jun Wuxian had been staying in Daxia all these years and had settled down there.

"Back to Daxia? In such a hurry?"

The smile on Jun Wuxian’s face grew deeper, "Because I’m getting married at the end of the year. I need to go back and make preparations."

"I see," responded Ye Suhuan quickly, offering his congratulations: "Congrats, big brother."

"You should come have a drink at the wedding," said Jun Wuxian.

Ye Suhuan replied, "Of course, no problem."

Xiao Jinyan watched the two chat like old friends and suddenly thought of Xiao Jiu. In the past, she too used to chat and laugh with Ye Suhuan like this. Once her memories were restored...

The three men waited at the entrance of the study room for quite some time until the door was pushed open from the inside.

The three grown men crowded around eagerly.

"Dad, how is Xiao Jiu?"

"Father, how is Xiao Jiu?"

"Master, has Xiao Jiu regained her memories?"

Jun Moqing glanced at the three men before him, "Hmm, but you guys wait a bit before going in."

The three men were about to walk in when they heard Jun Moqing’s words. They hurriedly stopped in their tracks, responding in unison, "Got it."

With that, Jun Moqing stepped out of the study room.

Xue Huai advanced two steps, "Master, the hot water is ready."

"Hmm," Jun Moqing walked with long strides towards the bedchamber.

In the study room,

Feng Wuyou slowly opened her eyes and stared at the crossbeams on the ceiling for a long time. Memories flooded into her mind like spring water, causing her severe headache.

She frowned and closed her eyes again, trying to ease the pain somewhat.

However, the headache did not subside but persisted.

When Xiao Jinyan and the others entered, they saw Xiao Jiu with tightly furrowed brows.

Xiao Jinyan rushed over immediately, sat down on the bed, and took the woman in his arms, "Xiao Jiu, how are you feeling?"

Feng Wuyou leaned into Xiao Jinyan’s embrace and after a long while, she finally uttered two words, "My head hurts."

Xiao Jinyan heard this and started massaging her temples to help relieve her headache.

After quite some time, once the pain had lessened, Feng Wuyou slowly opened her eyes again. She looked at Jun Wuxian and Ye Suhuan standing in front of her. Her old memories and new ones twisted and entangled in her mind.

She suddenly understood why Xiao Jinyan had looked like a fool when he regained his memories. At this moment, she probably looked a little foolish herself.

Xiao Jinyan asked softly, "Jinyan, do you remember now?"

Feng Wuyou withdrew her gaze to look at Xiao Jinyan and nodded, "I remember."

Xiao Jinyan’s face lit up with a happy smile, "That’s good."

Jun Wuxian also smiled, "Finally, you remember. Xiao Jiu, did you miss your big brother?"

Feng Wuyou looked at Jun Wuxian, who had matured a lot compared to ten years ago. Considering how he had never stopped looking for her over the years, she was profoundly moved.

"Of course, I did."

Ye Suhuan watched Xiao Jiu with equal excitement, mixed with some fear that she might ignore him.

"Xiao Jiu."

Feng Wuyou knew the man wearing the mask was Ye Suhuan, so when she saw him, the words "Third brother" slipped out without thinking.

It had been a long time since Ye Suhuan heard Xiao Jiu call him "third brother." Hearing it again after so many years, his voice trembled with emotion, "Yes, I’m your third brother. I’ve always been waiting for you to return."

Feng Wuyou was taken aback.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Ye Suhuan and stood up to pour a cup of tea for Xiao Jiu, just like she had done for him when she first arrived. Having just woken up, she must be feeling very thirsty.

"Xiao Jiu, have some tea first."

"Okay." Feng Wuyou was indeed feeling thirsty, so she took the teacup from Xiao Jinyan and took a few sips to moisten her throat.

After drinking the tea, she looked up again at Ye Suhuan. She remembered that when she was a child, Ye Suhuan didn’t wear a mask.

"Third brother, come here for a second."

Initially, Ye Suhuan did not like Xiao Jiu calling him "third brother" and wanted her to call him "Brother Suhuan" after he heard Xiao Jiu call Xiao Jinyan "Brother Jinyan."

But Xiao Jiu was used to calling him "third brother," and no matter how much he reminded her, it was no use, so he let her be.

Hearing Xiao Jiu calling him would instinctively draw him closer to her.

"What is it, Xiao Jiu?"

Feng Wuyou stared at the silver mask for a good while and still found it bothersome. She reached out, grabbed the silver mask, and pulled it off.
