The room was very quiet. Even the sound of the burning charcoal could be easily heard. Zhao Xiaoxue had naturally heard the conversation of the people outside.

Soon, there was the sound of steady footsteps approaching her. The sound was getting closer and closer, almost within reach.

However, to a deaf person, she couldn't hear a word, so she tried her best to calm her heart down and hold onto Chu Yufeng's cold hand tightly, wanting to ignore the people behind her.

"Xue'er, why didn't you look back?"

The person behind her suddenly spoke. Zhao Xiaoxue's heart skipped a beat. Although her name was Zhao Xiaoxue, the term 'Xue'er' was a bit too excessive. Even Yu Feng had never called her this. Why was he an outsider?

After venting her anger, Zhao Xiaoxue was actually not that nervous. It didn't matter whether she was' deaf 'or not, she decided to ignore the person behind her.

"Sigh!" It's still the same for you. You don't like to talk to people! "

The person behind her seemed to be a bit disappointed. She lightly started her footsteps again and moved to Zhao Xiaoxue's side.

Zhao Xiaoxue was' deaf 'and not blind. Her black robe shone in the corner of her eyes. Honestly speaking, she was indeed curious, what exactly did this Mr. Ye, who had heard that his medical skills were good, look like?

Turning around, Zhao Xiaoxue's gaze was quickly shocked by the familiar face.

"It's you!"

With a cry of surprise, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't help but grab her arm and quickly step back.

"You … You want to catch me again? "

The woman's reaction caused the person to be stunned. After a moment of daze, she shook her head and sighed:

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you!"

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't believe him, but the other side didn't move. Considering the current situation, if he did move, she wouldn't be able to resist.

Even so, Zhao Xiaoxue moved closer to Chu Yufeng. In this situation, she only trusted him.

"I already said that I won't hurt you, so can't you stay away from him?"

The man looked at the person who had frozen on the soft ground in disgust. An indescribable anger quietly extended from him.

When Zhao Xiaoxue saw the emotions in the man's eyes, she felt that it was strange. It seemed that this person was very familiar with her, but she didn't have any impression of him.

Other than the brief glimpse they had of the Nine Wine Pavilion in the Central City, they had never interacted with each other. Even the 'memory' in the deepest part of her mind did not contain this person. It was obvious that this acquaintance was a little strange.

Zhao Xiaoxue sized him up with a pair of eyes, her facial features clearly revealed a pair of deep black eyes, and her fair skin was even smoother when compared to the black robe. If she did not see the white beard on his temples and say that he was only twenty, Zhao Xiaoxue would not doubt.

No matter what the person said, the woman in front of him just stared at him without a word. Such a silent 'confrontation' made the man feel uncomfortable and even angry more and more. But thinking about something, the man's angry eyes gradually calmed down again.

"Alright! I want to ask you some questions, just answer them obediently! "

Why?

Why should he answer the question obediently?

Zhao Xiaoxue silently resisted in her heart, but she was now 'deaf'. No matter what the other party said, she could only pretend to be stupid and continue to be 'afraid' without saying anything.

"I heard that your surname is Xue?"

The man asked seriously.

However, Zhao Xiaoxue had a question mark in her mind because of this.

Originally …

After messing around for a long time, this guy actually didn't recognize her. Then why was he talking like that just now? Could it be that this was the way an old man and a young lady started a conversation?

It was indeed very novel. It might be fine if it was a different person, but it was obviously useless against her. She had already formed a feud with this person, so it was impossible for them to get to know each other!

"Then do you recognize the snow painting?"

The man's voice trembled slightly as he mentioned the painting, as if he was holding back something. His eyes were filled with anticipation.

Snow painting?

Such a familiar name, moreover …

Zhao Xiaoxue suddenly felt a swelling pain in her head, and scattered images began to appear in her mind.

One could faintly see a gorgeous woman dancing among the flowers. She was extremely beautiful!

The beautiful woman suddenly stopped walking. Holding a warm smile on her lips, she turned her head slightly and gently called out:

"Little Snow, come quickly …"

"I... Cough cough! "

Just as Zhao Xiaoxue made a sound, she felt as if her throat was stuck. She looked up and saw that the man who just said he would not 'harm' her had somehow grabbed her neck, causing her to have trouble breathing.

"You … Let me go! "

Zhao Xiaoxue could feel the strength building up in her neck. If this continued, her breathing would stop.

Being inexplicably hurt by others, Zhao Xiaoxue was not someone who would submit to orders. Even if she was strangled to death, she would have to bring along a backrest, accumulating Essence in her hands, moving her fingertips. Just as she was about to step forward, the strength in her neck suddenly relaxed and she could breathe in an instant.

"Hmph. I'll give you a lesson. When I ask, you better answer honestly. No matter if you're surnamed Xue or not, you can't ignore my existence as you wish. Otherwise …"

He raised his wrist slightly and clenched it into a fist. His knuckles cracked.

"Cough, cough …"

Zhao Xiaoxue panted as she silently cursed, 'Why is this guy like this?' Even if she wasn't 'deaf' now, she still wouldn't be able to answer his questions very quickly.

In fact, after being disturbed by him, the memories from before had actually disappeared. Now, even if she mentioned the Snow Song Painting again, the memories would no longer surface.

"Leaves..." "Mr. Ye, actually, Miss Xue …"

Qingcheng stammered, she used to think that Mr. Ye was not easy to get close to, but now she felt that he was very scary.

A weak girl like Lady Xue was being tortured. It was unbearable to look at her, but the moment she opened her mouth, Qingcheng felt that something was wrong and wanted to shut her mouth.

However, how could a man with a face pull at the side allow someone to 'disturb' him without reason? He turned his head and shouted with a cold face.

"What are you trying to say?"

The man's eyes were terrifying, causing Qingcheng to tremble with fear. She immediately shook and continued.

"Miss Xue can't hear me. There's something wrong with her ears, so …"

That's why she can't hear what you just said, and naturally can't answer you.

Qingcheng wanted to say those words in one breath, but the words that came out of her mouth were so difficult even to utter. Tears streamed down her face, and she was so anxious that she cried.

"Is there something wrong with your ears?"

The man stared at the stubborn expression on the woman's face. He walked closer and carefully analyzed the question with a calm gaze.

"Really?"

The man stared at her and asked, as if he wanted to confirm something.

Zhao Xiaoxue wanted to say that it was fake, but now it was not her place to speak. Even if she wasn't 'deaf' now, she must be 'deaf'.

"If you dare lie to me? Then I don't mind if you really become deaf! "

After he finished speaking, the man quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Xiaoxue's wrist.
