Kongming lanterns swayed in the northern night sky all night.
Ji Yunhe and Changyi finished the ceremony, ate the most simple "banquet", and had tea with everyone, and then let everyone go, because Kong Ming, Qu Xiaoxing, and Luo Jinsang all had their own things to do. They were so busy that they didn't even have enough time to sleep, so how could they stay for more chats.
After sending everyone away, Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe returned to their side hall.
Ji Yunhe cleaned up, turned around, and saw Chang Yi sitting by the bed again, holding the corner of his wedding clothes, and rubbing his fingertips on the fish's tail. His fingertips were soft and his eyes were very soft, making Ji Yunhe feel sour.
She walked to Changyi's side, stood up straight before sitting down, and gently embraced Changyi's body: "Hug." She said, while talking, she touched Changyi's hair.
Chang Yi was startled for a moment, then he loosened the corners of his clothes and hugged Ji Yunhe's waist. His face was pressed against her stomach. It was the softest place and the warmest place, which made him feel the coldness around him. They are all retreating because of Ji Yunhe.
The two embraced each other quietly, without saying a word to each other, but it was worth more than a thousand words.
After a long while, Chang Yi said softly, "I didn't lose my fish tail."
"Um?"
"Here, you are my fishtail."
His face rubbed lightly on her stomach, Ji Yunhe's heart softened instantly, and Ji Yunhe hugged him even tighter: "You are also a part of my life."
Chang Yi closed his eyes and hugged Ji Yunhe tighter: "Well."
This night may have been the warmest night since a spring day in the North...
Because Ji Yunhe had trouble sleeping, Chang Yi hummed a mermaid song in her ear. His low voice was like coming from the sea thousands of miles away, sometimes like waves, sometimes like clear springs, his voice made Ji Yunhe gradually close his eyes.
She was getting farther and farther from reality, but she was getting closer and closer to the dream. In the dream, there was Changyi singing. Ji Yunhe seemed to see herself standing next to the ten-square array. With hope and yearning, jump into the dark pool of water. It seems that the darkness in front of you has receded, and when you wake up tomorrow, you will see a world with spring flowers everywhere and no more haze.
Ji Yunhe fell asleep amid Changyi's singing, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, as if she was having a good dream.
Changyi's singing gradually weakened, and finally, he closed his lips and sang silently, making this side hall seem a little empty and lonely.
He followed the moonlight that was pouring into the temple from the outside, and looked at the curvature of Ji Yunhe's lips.
Her smile seemed to infect him, and Chang Yi also slightly raised the corners of his lips. He raised his hand, wanting to touch the warm arc on the corner of Ji Yunhe's lips. But when you put your finger in front of your eyes, Chang Yi sees...
His fingertips were already covered with frost, with a thin layer of white, the frost solidified, like ice needles growing on his fingers, he felt a biting chill when he looked at it, if he touched Ji Yunhe's face, These needles might pierce her skin.
Chang Yi withdrew his hand, he didn't feel how cold his body was anymore these few days.
In order to prevent Ji Yunhe from seeing his abnormality, he asked Kongming to ask for a medicinal herb, which could paralyze his whole body and make him feel no pain. Although the disease was not cured, it never delayed his marriage.
Changyi thought that he would not be able to accompany Ji Yunhe for a long time in the future, so in the time he could accompany her, try to be as nice as possible.
Like the night sky tonight.
It was the best gift this world gave him and Ji Yunhe.
Changyi let go of Ji Yunhe, he curled up beside Ji Yunhe, trying not to let his body be next to her, he was afraid that the cold around him would wake her up from her sweet dream. He wanted to watch Ji Yunhe keep smiling until the last moment when he lost consciousness...
The next day, before dawn, Ji Yunhe opened his eyes again.
Although it was the first day after marriage, the mission still had to continue. She had been late for a day before. Ji Yunhe thought that she would never be late again next time. When he turned around to say goodbye to Chang Yi, he was stunned.
The side of the bed where Chang Yi was lying was covered with ice, and there was no ice on the place where Ji Yunhe had just slept. Because her whole body was hot, the ice had not invaded. But the long meaning... has been covered in frost.
Ji Yunhe was stunned for a moment, murmuring to himself almost subconsciously: "Why so fast..."
Ji Yunhe immediately sat back beside the bed again. She practiced the exercises with her hands, and her nine black tails spread out in the cold room. She was covered in black flames. Disappearing, Ji Yunhe's heart ignited a glimmer of hope, she leaned down.
"Changyi..." She called out, while sticking to Changyi's body, "It's okay, it's okay..." She murmured repeatedly, and she didn't know whether she was talking to Changyi or telling herself.
The flames on Ji Yunhe's body rotated, almost covering Chang Yi's entire body.
The outermost layer of ice soon began to melt, but it melted close to Changyi's skin. No matter how much Ji Yunhe hugged him, Changyi's body didn't change.
Ji Yunhe finally saw clearly the pale face of Changyi under the ice.
He closed his eyes and smiled, as if he was still dreaming, and the dream was so beautiful that he didn't want to wake up at all.
"Long meaning, long meaning..." Ji Yunhe picked him up, "The sun is coming out soon, let's watch the sunrise, don't sleep." She said in a hoarse voice.
She held Chang Yi and asked him to sit up, his body was finally less rigid under the flames, so that Ji Yunhe could still carry him behind his back: "Go, I'll take you there. You saw the sun came out. , you wake up..."
Chang Yi's pale hand hung down from her back, and the thick layer of frost on the back of the hand made Ji Yunhe's eyes turn red. She gritted her teeth, not letting the tears flow from her eyes.
"It's okay if you don't hold me, I'm strong enough to carry you." She said, walking out step by step with a long meaning without any movement.
But the reality is far from her words. She seems to have little strength at all. She is shaking all over, from her body, her chest, her fingertips, her lips and her eyelids.
She walked to the door with Chang Yi, she raised her hand and wanted to push the door open, but Chang Yi slipped from her back, Ji Yunhe was shocked, and immediately turned around and hugged Chang Yi.
Her back was against the door of the palace behind, holding Chang Yi who could no longer open her eyes in her arms, she sat on the ground in embarrassment, with Chang Yi resting on her legs, the smile on the corners of her lips remained the same arc just now, Ji Yun He Chui Looking at him, the tears in his eyes finally could no longer be held back, and fell drop by drop on Chang Yi's face.
Because of the extremely low temperature on his body, the tears immediately solidified and turned into sharp ice needles, standing on Chang Yi's face.
Ji Yunhe reached out and wiped away the ice condensed from his tears, and the tears rolled down one after another.
At this time, Ji Yunhe discovered that she was not as strong as she thought, lost her long-term meaning, and continued to meet tomorrow's life with only the identity and memory related to him, and it was a thousand times more difficult than she imagined.
The light of the morning light sprinkled on the door of the hall behind her, and the shadow fell in the hall. As the sun rose little by little, the shadow of the hall door in the hall became shorter and shorter. Finally, the sun fell on Changyi's face.
"The sun is coming out… "
Ji Yunhe's voice was hoarse.
But Chang Yi didn't wake up either.
After this sunrise, the blue eyes of this pair of alluring cities will never open.
