Covered with Cold Branches

Yan Ji, the second son of the Yan family in Mobei, lost his father when he was young. He went to war with his brother at the age of seventeen, and his brother died in the battle at the age of nineteen. He carried the military flag alone, climbed out of the mountain of corpses, and lived like an iceberg from then on - cold, taciturn, and unkind. Everyone said that General Yan had no weaknesses. Only he knew that he remembered the boy who was fished out from under the horse's hooves at the city gate seven years ago and did not dare to look back. Xi Ci, the youngest son of the Xi family in Jiangnan, was picked up by a man from a frightened horse when he was twelve years old, and he was remembered for seven years. Reunited at the age of nineteen, he chased Yan Ji through the school grounds countless times, squatted at countless city gates, and was pushed away six times. Each time, he stood up and dusted himself off, saying it was okay with red eyes. Until the night Xi Ci fell ill, a letter was sent to the northwest. Yan Que, the elder brother of Yan family who died in the war seven years ago, is back. As soon as the door of the ancestral hall was closed, the ruler fell on his back, Yan Ji knelt in front of the ancestral tablet, and finally told the only truth in seven years - I am afraid.
