Before dawn, Su Kui's door was knocked.
She was wearing her robe and clothes leaning against the bed rail, staring at the candlestick above the table, crackling the lamp oil, and the shadow of the fire above the veil, as if there was a figure hiding behind it, waiting for an opportunity.
"Tuk-Tuk-Tuk-"
Su Kui regained his senses in a daze, blinking his sour but not sleepy eyes, and said with a hoarse voice, "Come in."
She knew it was Lingruo, and before she stepped into the inner room, she asked, "Lingruo, are you afraid?"
The footsteps behind the veil paused, and it took a long time for Lingruo's voice to sound, "Don't be afraid, aunt, I just can't see the way forward."
Su Kui pursed her lips and smiled, beckoning to her, "Lingruo, come to my aunt."
Lingruo wore a long white dress with a white body and moon. In the past, she only loved bright, not plain-colored Lingruo. At this time, she felt a little demure and elegant after wearing plain clothes.
She walked up to Su Kui in accordance with the words, slowly knelt on the ground, and leaned her head on her lap, "Auntie, what is it like?"
Su Kui did not answer for a long time after hearing it, and reached out her hand lovingly stroked her long hair that was scattered behind her. Lingruo thought she would not answer, but listened to her whisper, "Everything in the world is controlled by the Dao of Heaven. It’s not clear where it came from, even the older elders can’t tell why. You just need to remember that everything in the world, let it be, don’t force it, don’t violate it. Because you never know When you do something, there is a huge eye in the sky, staring at you all the time."
"Aunt, I don't understand."
Su Kui touched her head, closed her eyes lightly, and stretched the two figures extremely long under the candlelight.
In the words, there was a slight sense of sorrow, "My aunt has lived for so many years, but still can't realize these principles. The human heart is complicated. How can you really ask for nothing, but you must remember that if you can't get it, then It doesn't belong to you, don't force it, look back occasionally, maybe the scenery behind you will be better."
Lingruo pursed her lips, "Auntie, I took it down."
"Time flies so fast, but in a blink of an eye, it is a hundred years old. The naughty girl who fell to the ground and scurrying across the hills is now going to be overwhelmed."
"Auntie, people will grow up." Lingruo blinked and said docilely.
Su Kui sighed long after hearing the words, and asked, "Lingruo, do you hate auntie?"
"Why hate?"
"Aunt is more harsh on you. Aunt knows that you like Yun Feimo, but she took off his disguise. Chi Guoguo showed it to you and made you lose the first person you love. Don't you hate it?"
Lingruo was silent for a long while, with a low voice, "In the beginning, it was hateful. I don't understand that when I saw my aunt this time, everything seemed to be different from when I was on Qingqiu. My aunt became serious. It was a scolding, forcing me to face the reality that I didn't want to face, but later, I knew that my aunt was doing it for my own good, so I didn't hate it anymore."
"Lingruo, everyone makes mistakes, and so does aunt. When this happens, if you succeed in crossing the catastrophe, aunt will return to Qingqiu with you."
Lingruo suddenly raised her head, with unusual clarity in her eyes, as if she had seen everything through, staring at her eyes closely, "Aunt, what do you want to do?"
Su Kui chuckled, "Lingruo, you will soon know that now, you need to recharge your energy, don't think about anything, and do your best to deal with tomorrow's catastrophe, you know?"
