Long Yin reached out to feel her forehead. “You no longer have a fever, but you still have to make sure to have enough rest.”

Hexin shook her head. “I’m completely fine.” She paused a moment. “Big Bro Long Yin, I heard that the sunset seen from the peak of White Eagle Mountain is huge and beautiful. Let’s go see it together.”

“We can’t today. Let’s wait until tomorrow.” Long Yin objected.

“Why not?” Hexin was a little disappointed.

“You’ve only just recovered. You shouldn’t be overexerting yourself,” Long Yin said gently.

“But I’ve already recovered.” Hexin frowned.

“You may think so now, but you look unwell. That means your body is still weak,” said Long Yin.

Hexin stopped saying anything else when she heard this. Did she really look that unwell?

She pressed her lips as she looked at the exceptionally handsome man in front of her. She got up and said, “I think I’ll be returning to my room.”

“Alright. You should go. Have a good rest.” Long Yin nodded.

Hexin immediately took out a mirror when she returned to her room.

As she looked at herself in the mirror, she realized her face really did look yellowish and sallow since she got sick. It made her feel embarrassed.

She looked quite ugly right now. How could Big Bro Long Yin still kiss her just now?

However, the lighting in the bed was dim. At this thought, Hexin felt that he must not have noticed her face.

If he had seen her looking like this, there was no way he would have kissed her.

She reached out to touch her lips. The memory of what he did back in the room made her heart beat a little faster and her face began to feel a little hot.

It was not the first time Long Yin had kissed her. This time, he was even rougher than he was two years ago.

She was young back then and did not know much about the matters between a man and a woman, which was why she had endured the experience in a blur back then.

This was also why she was so scared when he violated her then; she was so petrified that she did move at all.

The incident had left a psychological mark on her and she had not forgotten it even after two years.

She sighed and put down the mirror.

Someone knocked on Hexin’s room door the next day before the sun had risen.

She covered her ears and wanted to continue sleeping when Long Yin’s deep voice was heard.

“Hexin, do you want to see the sunrise?”

Hexin’s eyes popped open and she was no longer sleepy. She sat up and said excitedly, “Yes, I do. Give me a moment, Big Bro Long Yin.”

“Alright.” A smile appeared on Long Yin’s lips as he leaned against the door to wait for her.

It was not long before Hexin was done changing and opened the door to walk out.

Long Yin’s gaze fell on her and he frowned when he saw how thin her clothing was. “You’re wearing too little on you. The wind is strong at the peak. Go back and put another layer on.”

Hexin had no choice but to return to the room and put on another cloak.

“Can this do?” she asked.

“Yes. Let’s go.” Long Yin smiled.

“Aren’t we getting Qi Heng and the others to come?” Hexin asked.

“They’re not going. It’s just the two of us.” Long Yin turned to look at her and held her hand naturally.

“I can walk on my own…”

“The sky is still dark and the journey up there isn’t easy. You have to be careful not to fall,” Long Yin said without skipping a beat.

Hexin had no reply to that.

The temporary imperial residence was at the foot of White Eagle Mountain. To hike up the mountain, they would need to go through a mountain road that was quite steep. In addition to that, the sky was still dark, so Long Yin held her hand the entire way.

Hexin was already weak in the knees by the time they arrived at the peak.

She had never hiked up such a tall and steep mountain before and she felt absolutely exhausted.

However, her fatigue melted away when she saw the sun slowly rise.

Right then, the darkness evaporated from the sky and the round sun slowly rose in the gorgeous sky that was painted red and orange.

“Big Bro Long Yin, this is the first time I’ve seen the sunrise like this. It’s so beautiful.”

Hexin could not stop staring at the rising sun in the distance as she said excitedly.

She did not realize that while she was watching the amazing scene in front of her, Long Yin was admiring the view of her.
