Lu Mingshu straightened his sleeves, picked up the bouquet of flowers, opened the door and walked out, then rolled onto Xiaodai's back.
Xiaodai flapped his wings and flew up.
I didn't notice it before, but only after I came out did I realize that today is exactly the night of the full moon, and the moonlight is pouring down, as gentle as water.
Xiaodai took her to fly not far, and stopped at a mountain top.
This is a solitary peak, which occupies a small area and the scenery is not good.
Xiaodai put her down and flew away. Its parents were barking over there, and the three snow-winged cloud-treading foals were barking as they flew, and soon disappeared.
She shook her head, just as she was about to make a sound, suddenly starlight flashed on the side of the peak.
One, two, three... The more they gather, the more dense they become. It is not as gorgeous as fireworks, but there are dots of stars, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, falling around the body, and it is hard to tell whether it is reality or illusion for a while.
Surrounded by the stars, Lu Mingshu sighed: "Xie Xingchen, what are you doing?"
"To please you! I've been preparing for two days, don't you like it?"
"..."
"You really don't like it?" He appeared out of nowhere, holding a bouquet in his arms, "I'll give you this too."
It's full, and I can't hold it at all.
"I gave you all the stars," he said, "you won't forget my name in the future, will you?"
"..." What an idiot, how could I forget
"Come on." He pulled her again, "I searched for two days before I found this place."
It was only then that Lu Mingshu discovered that there was a depression on the single peak, and there was a round stone pit below it, and there were rocks blocking it.
Xie Xingchen pulled her into the pit, which just accommodated two people.
"Look." He asked her to look up.
The full moon leaked from the cracks in the rocks, just forming a small heart shape.
Starlight, moonlight, and this unique shape.
Lu Mingshu stared at it for a long time.
"Why did you suddenly think of doing these things?"
"I just found out that I don't seem to be a qualified suitor." The two sat in the small hollow, chatting while admiring the moon.
He took out the small stove and slowly brewed tea.
"You don't like wine, I will drink less in the future."
"...you drank too much."
"Well, it's right to drink less anyway."
The aroma of green tea surrounds the nostrils, and a cup of mouth warms up the whole person.
"I've thought about that question for a long time." He said suddenly.
Lu Mingshu raised his eyes: "What?"
Xie Xing lowered his head and looked at the fire: "When you came out of Yinshan, you asked me what I like about you."
"..."
"Actually, you have always known that Xie Lianzhen is not sincere, right?"
Lu Mingshu was silent and nodded.
Later, Xie Lianzhen chased her all day long, but she saw the well-hidden scrutiny in his eyes.
At that unicorn meeting, Xie Lianzhen, who was still unable to stand up, saw her being scrutinized in this way.
"It was the first time I saw you when I came to Xichuan. At that time, when I saw you losing your mother, I felt sorry for you on the one hand and reminded me of myself. On the other hand, I watched with cold eyes and wanted to see your life what will become of it?"
Xie Lianzhen is not a good person, never has been. He didn't do anything bad, he just didn't need to.
"Later, I saw you again as Yan Wugui. Four years have passed, and you haven't changed in any way, which surprised me. I just hope you can continue to persevere and don't follow in my footsteps."
"Then, you went to Zhongzhou. You became the kind of person Yan Wugui hoped for, but Xie Lianzhen didn't want to see this scene—or, he expected to see it, but was afraid of seeing it. You are still so proud. Makes me feel inferior. Why you can do it, but I can't. The more I think about it, the more I desire it."
"It's like the shadow always yearns for the light. I long for you. I don't know whether to be like you or to make you like me. If this direction doesn't work, then change it, it's no big deal. But..."
Xie Xingchen looked at her, with a deep sea in his eyes: "It's been a long time, and I can't tell where this longing comes from. It seems that the reason doesn't matter anymore, the only thing that matters is you."
"..."
"So," he said softly, "I can't answer that question."
Lu Mingshu lowered his head and didn't speak.
In fact, many things do not need answers. For example, he sacrificed his life to save each other again and again, such as the past two years.
"Ming Shu."
He looked at her with twinkling stars in his eyes. For a moment, she thought he was going to ask the question she had been obsessed with.
However, he just smiled at the end.
"By the way, what are you going to do when you go to Nanze? An Tongchen couldn't find it, so the meaning of your going isn't very big, is it?"
She pulled back her mood and replied: "I have to go and have a look, maybe I will find a clue?"
"Nanze is very dangerous." He said, "There are water lakes and monsters everywhere, so you have to be careful."
"Well." After a pause, she said, "I have known Gao Xiang since I was a child. When I was a child, no one paid attention to me. Only he helped me and became friends with me. Now, he is in trouble, and I am reasonable They all have to look for it.”
"I know, you don't need to explain it to me." Xie Xing said with a deep smile, "You have always been a person who repays your kindness. You know that I have bad intentions, but because you have saved you, you have saved me again and again. "
"..."
"That day, your uncle Master Zhuo asked me what I planned to do in the future. I said, let's do it this way. The matter of the Demon Emperor needs time. I can only wait. This matter is out of my control. He asked, then you Woolen cloth?"
Lu Mingshu raised his head and looked at him.
He still smiled and continued: "I said, you have never cared about the worldly people, so there is nothing wrong with that." He looked at her and asked cautiously, "Am I right?"
Lu Mingshu nodded slowly.
He just laughed and looked up: "Mother is right, you are the best girl in the world, at least for me."
"..."
Seeing him like this, Lu Mingshu was a little bit aroused at first, but slowly put it down.
He didn't think much of it.
What Xie Xingchen said later were all trifles, some of which she remembered, some of which she didn't remember.
I don't know why, but the tea tastes very intoxicating, and the night passed in a daze.
When the moon was setting, he called Xiaodai and sent her back to Bixi Valley. Before leaving, he said: "Look, the people who have betrayed you in this world are all gone, so you should be happy in the future, okay?"
How can she say no
Xiao Dai fluttered his wings and flew away slowly in the morning light.
The smile on Xie Xingchen's lips gradually disappeared.
He remembered what Zhuo Jiangui said to him: "Ming Shu has always been like this, she is not willing to disappoint anyone who treats her well. If you don't tell her, she won't leave you. But, do you want her to be like this? Be with you Wandering around the world without a name or a place?"
He thought so, but...
