The girl opposite obviously saw her too. She rubbed her eyes and murmured, "Am I dreaming again? Why did I see Sister Xiyue?"
Xi Yue was stunned for a long while, and finally called out her name softly, "Qingruo?"
The girl in front of him turned out to be Shen Qingruo, whom he had not seen for a long time. She was the girl who had always followed him after he had rescued her in the Fenglongyu Medicine Garden. She was always optimistic and cheerful.
Until now, Xiyue can still seem to hear her chasing after him and calling "Brother Xiyue" or "Sister Xiyue", and see her innocent smiling face.
But now the girl in front of him had too much sadness in her eyes, as if the joy and happiness she once had been taken away in an instant.
Tears quickly gathered in Shen Qingruo's eyes. She rubbed her eyes and choked up for a long while before saying, "That powerful person said he could take me to Siam, where I could see the person I wanted to see. I didn't believe him, but I still came. I knew clearly that it was impossible to come back from the dead and it was impossible to see the person I wanted to see again, but I still came."
"Sister Xiyue, are you a real person? Or is this already the underworld?"
If this is the underworld, does that mean she is dead? She is dead, so she can see Sister Xiyue; if she is dead, can she see the person who made her worry and heartbroken
Xi Yue took a deep breath, put the little boy on a chair beside her, walked to Shen Qingruo, reached out and gently wiped away her tears, "Qingruo, I didn't expect to see you again."
Shen Qingruo grabbed her hand and said in a trance: "The hand is warm, and there is a shadow. This is not a dream, nor is it the underworld. Sister Xiyue, are you still alive? Are you really still alive?!"
Xiyue's eyes became extremely soft, "Yes, I'm still alive. Qingruo, have you been doing well these years?"
"Wow—Sister Xiyue!" Shen Qingruo couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Xiyue and cried loudly, "You are still alive, are you really still alive? I always thought you were dead, you were all dead. I don't know how I got through these ten years. I always wondered why you left without taking me with you, wuwuwu..."
Xi Yue's eyes were slightly moist. She hugged the crying girl and said softly, "Qing Ruo, don't cry. We are all still alive. If you don't believe me, just look. Everyone is still alive and well."
Shen Qingruo wiped her tears, let go of Xi Yue somewhat embarrassedly, and looked behind Xi Yue.
At the door, she soon saw Qingluan looking at her with a smile.
Shen Qingruo knew Qingluan, of course, and knew that she had also "died" that year. Seeing her now, she couldn't help but said with joy: "Qingluan, you are alive too, that's great. What about the others, are they also..."
Shen Qingruo stopped talking suddenly in the middle of her words.
Because she saw a masked man slowly walking out behind Qingluan.
The pair of eyes that were not covered by the mask were slightly red and stared at her without blinking.
Even if she couldn't see the face, even if she just glanced at it like this, Shen Qingruo would know it.
He was the man who had broken her heart for ten years, the man who made her think they were going to be separated by life and death, but she still refused to give up waiting for him.
Gu Liufeng slowly walked towards her and stood in front of Shen Qingruo. (To be continued)
