Chapter 185: Snowy Afternoon (2)
Gong Jue suddenly reached out and grasped her hands . The eagerness in his eyes confused Gong Yi Mo for a moment .
“Sister…I won’t tell anyone!”
Gong Yi Mo’s gave a sigh of relief in her heart .
“As long as you’re not afraid . ”
“Sister…will you leave me?”
Gong Yi Mo was surprised at his words . She wondered why he would say such a thing .
“I–”
“In any case, you can’t leave me! No, don’t!”
Before Gong Yi Mo could reply, she was interrupted by Gong Jue’s firm plea . Seeing his hidden panic and nervousness underneath, Gong Yi Mo smiled at him in comfort . This boy’s worries were groundless . He was the child she raised personally, so what problems could there be?
“This is my home, how can I leave?” Afterwards, her eyes lit up as she chose something from the pile of goods on the ground .
“Wine! How lucky that there’s still so much left! We haven’t seen each other for such a long time . Let’s chat while sharing a drink . Don’t be so nervous, relax!”
Although he was in a panicked state, strangely, his heart settled down when Gong Yi Mo said these words .

Sometimes, he really couldn’t understand his sister’s thought process . Clearly he was worried and frantic, but not only was she unaffected his uneasiness, she even invited him for a drink…
Gong Jue sighed helplessly, as if this was their first time drinking together . It’s just that his mood was very complicated at this moment .

Why is it when he mentions a big issue to his sister, she brushes it off as if it wasn’t that big of a deal?
In Gong Yi Mo’s mind, twelve years old was still a young teenager, so she passed a small wine bag to him, thinking that he shouldn’t drink too much .
She had no idea that this ‘child’ had already killed several men with alchohol!

“Take it! Don’t worry about anything . It’s afternoon now and the snow is heavy . We need to rest during the day and prepare to move by nighttime . ”
Gong Yi Mo didn’t want to discuss about her space too much, so she drank plenty . At this time, they sat in the cave with a bonfire to warm them . The snow fell outside . If they weren’t being chased, Gong Yi Mo wouldn’t be in a hurry to leave .
Seeing how carefree she was, Gong Jue began to open up and seriously related his journey from the capital to Xi Zhou, and how he dug up wells and built a canal .
When she drank most of her wine, Gong Yi Mo was a little drunk . She looked up at the gray sky and drifting snow, then sighed .
The snow in Xi Zhou…was very beautiful .
Since the cave wasn’t too deep, occasional snowflakes would be blown in by the wind towards the fireplace where they sat around . Gong Yi Mo thought that if there were a few scholars here, they would think of a poem to describe this moment .

In this way, they watched the snowfall as they drank, speaking less and less until all they did was savor the wine .
All of the fine wine emptied into Gong Yi Mo’s stomach . Gong Jue lifted the wine bag that she gave him earlier, tasting it bit by bit . Since there wasn’t much there in the first place, he was hardly drunk .
“Wake me up when night falls…”
Gong Yi Mo said with a muddled head .
Her internal injuries weren’t in a good state, so sleep was the best way to heal .
Gong Jue took her back before heading out in search for more dead brances and grasses . Although martial arts practitioners like them had internal forces to protect their bodies, he feared that his sister would freeze from her unstable health . After performing his task, he lay gently beside Gong Yi Mo and sighed contentedly .
If… . if there was only him and his sister in this entire world…he wouldn’t have to be so… . restrained about his feelings .
