Yi Chengxuan was originally reading his own book. When he heard Yue Xin's words, he put down the book in his hand and replied, "This is Lianpo's love for the Zhao Country and the people. It is his idealistic pursuit for the prosperity of his country and the lives of the people. This is about his feelings for his country. It is his recognition of his country, his sense of belonging, his mission, and his sense of responsibility. This kind of feeling is not mixed with any benefits. It is a person's own belief. For this, he is even willing to give everything."

Yue Xin didn't seem to agree. Her finger landed on the words "Historical Record" and she said, "But I think that the feelings of the country are just tools used by rulers to rule the people. To rulers, patriotism is just love for their own status and interests, and to the ruled people, patriotism is love for the benefits that they have already realized and are developing. This is the essence of patriotism, isn't it?"

When Yi Chengxuan heard Yue Xin's words, he was silent for a moment before saying, "Our country's ancient society is a patriarchal society with the characteristics of home and country. The structure of the country is consistent with home, so our country's social structure has never been able to exist independently of our blood-related family."

"The consciousness of the country gives birth to the feelings of the country. The country is the environment in which we live and grow up. We are blessed by her cultural traditions, natural endowments, nourished by language and words. Our attachment to her and gratitude will be born from our hearts. Such emotions will make people integrate with the country and share its fate. Therefore, it will form a huge spiritual power that makes people willing to contribute everything to the country. This is the spirit of patriotism."

"The formation of patriotism is related to national consciousness, but it exceeds the limits of national consciousness and patriarchal law."

Yue Xin blinked as if she understood, but also didn't. In the end, she expressed her opinion. "You said too much. Can you explain it simpler next time?"

Yi Chengxuan replied,"…Then don't ask me such a difficult question next time. I'll be able to answer your question simply."

Yue Xin fell silent and continued to read her book. Yi Chengxuan also continued to read his book.

For a moment, only the sound of flipping books could be heard in the study. The conversation just now did not seem to have stirred up any waves between the two of them. This seemed to be their daily life.

No.12 stood quietly behind Yue Xin. He seemed to know what Yi Chengxuan wanted to do now. Although he didn't know what Yi Chengxuan wanted to achieve by doing this, he could only stay by Yue Xin's side and accompany her through all the difficulties.

After lunch, Yi Chengxuan returned with a bouquet of flowers for Yue Xin.

Yue Xin was not surprised. Instead, she held the flowers and asked, "What flowers are this?"

Yi Chengxuan explained, "Buttercups. They symbolise sacredness, nobility, and inviolability."

Yue Xin looked at it for a long time before suddenly reaching out to touch the petals.

Yi Chengxuan knew what Yue Xin wanted to do at a glance. He gently pressed his finger on Yue Xin's restless hand. "This flower can't be eaten. It will cause diarrhea, and your pulse will slow down. You can't touch it either. It will cause inflammation and blisters. You've seen the Hundred Flowers Encyclopedia before, so you should know."

Hearing this, Yue Xin retracted her hand. "I know, but you gave me this flower. I thought you were deliberately trying to make me feel uncomfortable."

Yi Chengxuan muttered,"…I just want you to see what these flowers look like. "

"Oh, then can you give me flowers that I can eat next time? The flower cake you made last time was not bad," Yue Xin said. This was something she would never do in front of Yi Chengxuan in the past.

Yi Chengxuan replied, "…Alright, I'll make it for you tomorrow."

In the afternoon, the two of them continued to read. As they read, Yi Chengxuan suddenly sang two rounds of the Kun District song. Then, he was forced by Yue Xin to sing for the entire afternoon.

At night, Yi Chengxuan looked very haggard. Yue Xin said, "I still drank tea this afternoon. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I came to look for you."

Yi Chengxuan's expression was a little complicated. "You can come. I'll accompany you every time you come."

No.12 stood at the side and was suddenly a little confused. He had indeed followed her because he was worried about Yue Xin. Now, it seemed that he did not know who to worry about.

On the way back, No.12 couldn't help but ask Yue Xin, "Do you trust Yi Chengxuan?"

Yue Xin replied without thinking, "I don't. He wants to get something other than the deal from me. Although I don't know what it is yet, I won't let him get it easily."

No.12 recalled what Yue Xin had done today and Yi Chengxuan's haggard appearance and seemed to understand. "Did you do it on purpose?"

Yue Xin didn't hide it from No.12 and nodded. "Yes, from the day a person starts scheming, he should have thought of paying the corresponding price. Yi Chengxuan knows this himself."

It was precisely because Yi Chengxuan understood that he was so indulgent towards Yue Xin. The more he indulged, the more he wanted.
