"I hope so...but things in this world never go as planned."
Hearing Xi Zishi's farewell words, Poinsettia raised her hand and waved at him with her face behind her back.
really. Since the two are still on opposite sides, the day when they can turn enemies into friends will not come yet.
However, he still chooses to believe.
When he and Fu Yunge left Xi Zishi's room, they would never see him again.
Xi Zishi was still sitting on the bed, supporting his shoulders with his arms and maintaining his original posture.
"He's like a broken light."
After a while, he murmured, not knowing whether he was talking to Tan Chenyue or talking to himself.
Tan Chenyue turned her head slightly, put the garland on her finger and admired it.
"I am a mutilated shadow." He thought for a while and then said, meaningfully, "He wanted to use his light to help me get rid of the darkness. But...his flaws, and mine, are destined to not be embedded in each other. Together."
"I can only settle my matter by myself." Xi Zishi looked at the door blankly, and suddenly chuckled, "I also thank him. I can't tell who owes whom..."
Tan Chenyue watched Xi Zishi quietly. She didn't speak, she just stayed behind him silently, but Xi Zishi felt a reassuring and warm power.
"A Tian, let's go." He calmed down again and gave a faint smile.
Tan Chenyue stood up obediently, walked to him, and slowly hugged him.
"Whatever happens, I will be behind you and accompany you."
She said soothingly, her voice like a breeze. After listening to her words, Xi Zishi reached out and gently hugged her waist, and took a few deep breaths.
"let's go."
…………
Fu Yunge followed Poinsettia to the room and settled down there. Although there was nothing to organize, because they were traveling around all day long and had nothing to bring with them.
Because they considered allowing everyone in the Wine Alliance to rest for the night, they were relieved and did not rush on their way.
After walking around for a while, it was night time soon. There is not much to visit in the town. Just like the character of the local residents, it is as plain as water, with a little warm atmosphere.
When the sun went down, they returned to the inn.
The mild summer heat has not dissipated and has been permeating the streets. The town is quiet and quiet during the day, and at night even the remaining sounds quickly cease.
There seemed to be a pond not far from the town, and there were constant sounds of frogs chirping. The gentle evening breeze brought refreshment, and everyone in the wine alliance quickly returned to the room after dinner, and gradually fell asleep with full body fatigue.
But in Poinsettia and Mei's room, they were not asleep yet.
Fu Yunge's heart was actually already looking forward to a suitable opportunity. If he hadn't met Xi Zishi by chance, it would have been easier for him to tell Poinsettia.
Because since the Blackwater Sky Barrier incident, he could feel that Poinsettia seemed to be hiding something.
At first he just felt a little strange, but as he went along, his strange feeling became stronger and stronger.
Poinsettia seemed to want to say something to herself. But he couldn't guess.
He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Maybe tonight... it will work.
Thinking about it, the dusk outside became darker.
The dim sound of the watch echoed in the streets outside, and the brief barking of dogs gave off a thick low groan.
Along with the low snoring, they knew that everyone in the wine alliance was already asleep. But the two of them seemed to have made an appointment, and no one wanted to get up and turn off the lights.
The faint light shines alone in a corner of the narrow inn. Reflecting a bit of the night moon and a few lone stars, they looked like shadows hanging upside down on the lake.
Poinsettia leaned against the open window lattice, letting the gentle breeze blow through his hair.
Fu Yunge didn't feel tired either. His eyes were far away from Poinsettia, and the question was still hanging in his heart.
But he didn't know when to speak. He didn't know if the senior was still thinking about Xi Zishi. He suddenly asked if he seemed too abrupt and too smart.
The two of them stayed in the house silently. The moon wheel moves gently across the tree branches on the mountain top, and slowly climbs into the sky.
Everything was silent. The croaking of frogs and the barking of dogs ceased in my sleep at some point, and the color of night completely enveloped the quiet land.
Halfway through the third update. Finally, Poinsettia turned her head faintly and looked at Fu Yunge:
"What...what do you want to ask me?"
After breaking the long silence, Fu Yunge slowly raised his eyelids.
In front of him, there was the concerned look in the eyes of senior Poinsettia. A familiar warmth flowed through Fu Yunge's body. Reflecting the bright candlelight, he felt that the person in front of him was extremely kind and kind.
In an instant, he almost blurted out "Master" again.
"……Is such that……"
Telling everything without any secret, Fu Yunge finally told Poinsettia the questions he had hidden in his heart.
Poinsettia listened quietly, her expression seemingly untroubled.
Soon, Fu Yunge finished speaking. His face was a little dark red, and he inevitably felt a little uneasy.
"That's it..."
After listening, Poinsettia leaned toward the window.
Outside the window, in the dark night, the outline of the mountains smells of earth. The cool moonlight shines on the pear wood window lattice, flashing with starlight flowing like a stream.
The color of the clouds is like light ink mixed with water, quietly sliding over the mountains. The wind whistled low, and waves of forest waves blew from the foothills.
Fu Yunge said everything, and gradually felt a lot more comfortable in his heart. Looking at the fine porcelain vase on the table, with the small yellow flowers blooming quietly inside, I took a deep breath.
Poinsettia seemed to be thinking. In fact, he had already reflected on it several times when he was talking to Che Di Wensheng at Blackwater Sky Barrier, but he was also waiting for an opportunity, and when it came to this moment, he didn't know where to untie this knot. .
Finally, he remembered what the old woodcutter had said in his later years.
"Just follow along and it'll be fine."
Suddenly enlightened, Poinsettia finally nodded.
