In the Xicui area, March 3rd was the night Xu Qiansu met Cresselia, the God of Dreams.
Ultramarine Town, early morning, at a steamed bun shop called Qishiwu, Feng stood on a small stool, revealing his little head from behind the counter, looking longingly at the curtain in front of the door.
The curtain was opened, and a bit of cold wind blew through.
Feng's eyes lit up, his young face filled with a warm and cute smile, and then a middle-aged uncle appeared in his sight.
Her smile froze visibly. Children are not very good at concealing their emotions.
But then Feng forced a smile and asked, "What flavors of steamed buns does uncle want?"
There was a trace of confusion on the face of the middle-aged uncle. He was also a frequent visitor to Qishiwu, and he loved the steamed buns here very much. His name was Madara... he would come here every morning, so he was familiar with Feng.
He waved his hand casually, "As always, give me one of each flavor..."
After saying that, he looked at Feng and pondered: "Xiao Feng, you...could it be that you are in love...well...impossible, you are only eight years old."
"Huh? What is love?" Feng tilted his little head. Although everyone in the Pokémon world matures early, Feng is only an eight-year-old girl, so it is impossible for her to understand what 'love' is.
"That's all." The middle-aged uncle named Madara obviously knew that what he said was inappropriate. How could he talk to an eight-year-old girl about this? And it was a woman who had to talk about it. It seemed like a crime for him, a middle-aged uncle, to say this.
Madara chuckled and said: "A group of guests came to Ultramarine Town this morning. I heard that they are Team Galaxy from Black Glory Field. What mission are they here to perform... They also have Pokémon with them. If Xiaofeng If you are interested, you can go and have a look.”
After saying that, Madara took his steamed bun, paid, waved, and left.
"Team Galaxy?" Feng blinked, but she was not interested in Team Galaxy, so she put her little face on the counter and waited for a while. She suddenly realized that since Team Galaxy was performing tasks in various places, it was obvious that Well-informed... Do you know Xu Qiansu?
Thinking of this, Feng clicked and jumped down from the small bench. But the next moment, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old black-haired girl patted her shoulders, opened the curtain with a tired face, and walked into Seven Shiwu.
Seeing this, Feng had no choice but to climb onto the small bench again, reveal his little head from behind the counter, and said in a childish tone: "Welcome to Qishiwu, what flavor of steamed buns would you like..."
After saying that, Feng paused and looked the girl up and down.
"What, what's wrong?" The girl with waist-length black hair couldn't help but blush slightly when Feng looked at her like this, and she looked down at herself.
Well, even though his chest didn't have any heaving, he was wearing a clean Team Galaxy uniform and had a slender figure... there was nothing embarrassing about him.
"Are you a member of Team Galaxy?" Fenghu asked. Although she had never seen Team Galaxy, the uniform on Xiao Zhao was too conspicuous.
"Yes..." Maybe it was because of the riot of Team Galaxy two days ago, so Xiao Zhao's tone was a little low, but thinking about the little marsupial, she couldn't help but feel happy. Although during that riot, Xiao Zhao didn't know that she was Whether what he did was just, but it was definitely right to help the little marsupial find her trainer.
She raised her chin slightly and said: "My name is Xiaozhao, and I am currently a member of the Galaxy Team's investigation team... Something happened to the Galaxy Team recently, and there is a shortage of manpower, so I was sent to set up a camp on the Ultramarine Coast..."
After saying that, Xiao Zhao looked at Feng and asked, "So what do you want from Team Galaxy? Do you need help?"
"Have you been to many places on missions?"
"Well... it's not much, but I'm very reliable. If you need any help, just ask." Xiaozhao patted his small chest and said loudly.
"Then do you know Xu Qiansu?"
"Xu Qiansu?" Xiao Zhao was slightly startled, looked Feng up and down, and then nodded, "I know you."
She thought to herself, not only do I know him, but I also know that he comes from a thousand years in the future like me.
Feng's eyes lit up, and he jumped down from the small bench, took the plate, put seven or eight steamed buns on it, stuffed it into Xiao Zhao's hand, then raised his little face, and blinked with his big black and translucent eyes. He looked at Xiaozhao without blinking, "Can you tell us about him? We are his good friends, but after he left Qunqing Town, there was no news at all."
Being looked at and begged like this by an eight-year-old girl like Feng is enough to make anyone drop their guard and feel pity... Xiaoteru is no exception.
She laughed, not politely, picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and muttered, "I'm not very familiar with him, but he has a Pokémon, a marsupial, that I take care of."
"Yeah, yeah."
"It was with the help of this girl that he reunited with the little marsupial~"
"Yeah, yeah, thank you!"
"But he was originally going to the Celebration Village to become a great hero... but he left without even showing his face."
"Hmm...where did you go?"
"..." Xiaozhao put down the steamed bun, pursed her lips and remained silent for a while. She was optimistic and cheerful, but that didn't mean she was stupid... Feng's reaction already explained a lot of things.
Rather than letting her have unnecessary expectations, it would be better to tell her directly...
Xiaozhao looked down at Feng and whispered: "I don't know, but his destination is to return to his home 1000 years later... Now that these days have passed, he must have achieved his wish."
Feng Xiji's expression slowly calmed down, and she pursed her lips. After a while, she asked again, "You don't know...it means that he may not have left, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhao nodded lightly. She really didn't know Xu Qiansu's current situation, but the riot of the Galaxy team that killed and injured hundreds of people left a deep impression on Xiao Zhao. Perhaps all that was done by Xu Qiansu... so powerful A person will definitely be able to return to his hometown smoothly.
So she pointed at the ceiling and said: "I talked with him. The space-time vortex on the top of Tianguan Mountain may have a lot to do with him, so the moment the space-time vortex disappears, it may be the time when he leaves... …”
Feng lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Xiao Zhao." A voice called from outside the door.
Xiao Zhao put the plate on the counter and looked at Feng, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing and directly opened the curtain and left Qishi House.
After Xiao Zhao left, Feng stood there for a while, then stepped onto the small bench and revealed his small face from behind the counter.
Not long after, another guest opened the curtain and walked in.
Feng smiled and said, "Welcome to Qishiwu. What flavor of steamed buns do you want?"
…
That night.
The silver moon hangs high, and the moonlight is like water.
Feng hugged his knees and sat on his quilt embroidered with Vulpix, lowering his eyes and saying nothing.
"Huh?" Vulpix squatted at her feet and raised his face to look at her.
She said she would visit Xu Qiansu...but she was only an eight-year-old child, what could she do?
Nothing can be done.
Snapped.
She seemed to have lost all her strength, lying on her side on the bed, staring up at the ceiling...
The moonlight was like water, falling from the window, hanging on her curled up petite body.
Feng didn't know when he had fallen asleep.
In a daze, she seemed to have had a dream...
In Hei's dream, a soft female voice asked her softly, "Do you regret it?"
What do you regret? Feng didn't understand, but she still said, "I regret it."
She was only eight years old, and she didn't understand the feeling of depression in her heart, so... she had no choice but to admit all the negative emotions.
"Do you hate him?"
hatred? Why hate? Feng didn't understand either.
She shook her head slightly.
"Then do you want to see him?"
Feng was slightly startled, looking at the dark dreamland, and nodded heavily.
"Okay...but there is a condition. You cannot tell him your true identity, otherwise, the 'sweet dream' will be shattered."
Feng still nodded heavily.
The soft female voice said with a smile that seemed to be pity and relief, "He will need your help in the future... Go and bring him this slate..."
"Who are you? Why do you want to help him?"
"I am the incarnation of Silver Moon and Sweet Dreams...and I help him, not for him, but to fulfill your wish."
"Why should I fulfill my wish..."
"Why?" The soft female voice was slightly startled, and then she smiled matter-of-factly, "Because I am the embodiment of sweet dreams..."
As soon as the words fell, the cold, watery moonlight spilled into Feng's dream.
…
When Feng opened his eyes, he looked down and murmured: "I... turned into a Pokémon? So beautiful~"
Cresselia stood under the silver moon, surrounded by the seductive and quiet night.
But at this moment, Cresselia...is Kaede.
This is a wonderful feeling. Is this a dream? Or reality?
If it was a dream, it was too real... so real that Feng even mastered all of Cresselia's abilities naturally, so real that Feng could even feel the coldness of the night sky, the gentle breeze, and... below The ethereal flute sound.
Feng lowered his eyes and looked... The sound of the flute came from a vehicle driving on the snow.
Feng narrowed his eyes in contentment and knew for no reason that Xu Qiansu played this piece of music.
He hasn't left yet...
Not long after, the sound of the flute ended, and a handsome young man in white robe opened the curtain, sat on the terrace in front of the carriage, played with the white jade flute in his hand, and played a few tunes at will.
Feng looked down at him and finally couldn't help but said, "It doesn't sound good, why don't you continue to play the tune just now?"
Feng's voice naturally resounded in Xu Qiansu's heart.
"Huh?" He was obviously a little surprised, but he did not look around immediately. Instead, he raised the flute of the God and played a tune again.
Just this small movement made Feng feel a suffocating tenderness for no reason.
The ethereal flute sound caressed the snow, greeted the night, and finally blended into the cold moonlight and fell into Feng's ears.
Feng stopped talking...
But Xu Qiansu breathed into the flute, slowly raised her eyes, and looked at Feng under the silver moon.
Feng's heart trembled, and then he remembered that he was using Cresselia's body at the moment, and he couldn't let Xu Qiansu know his true identity...
She took a deep breath and flew downwards.
Xu Qiansu seemed to be in a trance, and did not respond for a long time.
Feng flew close to Xu Qiansu and looked into his eyes... Xu Qiansu's hair color and eyes were the same as Feng's, they had black hair and black eyes.
Such a fact was enough to make her happy for a while.
"Your eyes are so beautiful." Feng chuckled and said.
Hearing this, Xu Qiansu glanced at herself in confusion, as if looking through her body to Feng himself.
Feng felt that it was impossible for Xu Qiansu to discover his true identity, but he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
She hopes Xu Qiansu discovers her true identity, but she also doesn’t want...
She quickly changed the topic, "Can you blow it again?"
Hearing this, Xu Qiansu didn't say much. He slowly raised the flute of God and started playing.
Feng's eyebrows were slightly curved, and she floated down in the air, sitting down next to Xu Qiansu... Such a posture seemed like she was cuddling up to Xu Qiansu's side.
After the song ended, Feng couldn't help but praise, "It sounds so good, just like the moon?"
Xu Qiansu tilted her head and looked gently, "Huh?"
Even now, he did not dig into the details and kept asking questions.
"The sky and the earth are shrouded in the quiet night. You are driving a boat and drifting alone in the lake. The surroundings are quiet and there is no noise. The silver disk-like moon reflects the hazy moon shadow in the lake... You don't look at the sky or the water. Just rowing the boat silently, staring at the moonlight on the edge of the window with the corner of my eye... How does that sound?"
So, just like looking at the shadow of the moon... look at me more.
Xu Qiansu turned her head to look at her and chuckled, "It sounds great. It reminds me of a noble girl who bravely embarked on a journey."
Who is the noble girl?
Feng was a little dissatisfied, but just chatting with Xu Qiansu like this made her feel satisfied.
"It sounds so good." Feng and Xu Qiansu laughed together.
Xu Qiansu stopped looking at her and asked softly, "Are you here for the Flute of God?"
The Flute of God? what? Oh...that flute.
Feng looked straight at Xu Qiansu and said softly, "No, I'm here for you."
The sound is not loud, but very clear.
This answer was obviously not within the scope of Xu Qiansu's imagination. He tilted his head and looked at himself.
What kind of look is that?
Feng suddenly thought of the look Xu Qiansu looked at him when he left Qunqing Town... Such a look made Feng want to speak, but he couldn't make a sound. He only felt an inexplicable feeling of grievance in his heart. .
"Is there any way you can make me go back to modern times?" Xu Qiansu and Feng looked at each other for a while, then looked away and asked in a low voice.
"I am the Pokémon in charge of dreams... I don't have any ability to control the flow of time and space."
"You should go to Celebi for this kind of thing..."
"But I guess you won't be able to find them either. The Celebi tribe is quite playful and often travels through time and space, making it hard to find traces."
In order to cover up the inexplicable emotions in her heart, Feng said a lot of words in succession.
Cresselia already knew all this knowledge, so possessed, Feng also understood it incidentally.
"However, although I can't let you go to a thousand years later, I can let you stay in Xicui."
This sentence also came from Cresselia's mouth, but... it also came from Feng's mouth.
Feng... wants Xu Qiansu to stay like this and never leave...
"The Washui Land is rich in resources and has many miracles. It is indeed a very charming area. But I have a reason to go back to modern times. There are people waiting for me there." After hearing this, Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and remained silent for a while. He raised his hand and tied the Flute of God around his waist, and whispered.
what about me?
Feng did not ask these three words.
"I know that you can't stay in Xicui for a long time. Whether you want to or not, it's not up to you." She said softly to comfort herself, "You are a person who lives a thousand years later, and you came to Xicui because of an accident. Cui...this land instinctively resists outsiders like you, so no matter what, you will definitely go back."
If these words were not spoken telepathically... then he would definitely have noticed my crying voice.
"Thank you for your good words." Xu Qiansu chuckled, and her words were full of inexplicable tenderness. "So when I came here, no one did it deliberately. Is it really just an accident?" With that, Xu Qiansu walked out of her arms. He took out a platinum pendant, tilted his head and asked.
Feng didn't want to waste too much time on this topic that could make Xu Qiansu leave Xi Cui, but she still said, "Well, that's it, it's the key to everything."
Cresselia's memory or intuition told Feng that Xu Qiansu would definitely need this pendant in the future.
Feng looked at Xu Qiansu and wanted to say more, but Kreklia's voice suddenly sounded from his heart.
"The time is up, I can only give you two more minutes at most... It is difficult for human consciousness to stay on my body for too long."
Feng was silent for a while, looking at the silver moon hanging high in the sky, "The time is coming..."
In the end, she wanted to tell Xu Qiansu her true identity...but no, she agreed to Cresselia.
So she flew into the air, looked back at Xu Qiansu, and said in a faint tone: "Can you play the music for me one more time? Just treat it as a gift..."
Ask me more, ask me more... Just ask me who I am? Why are you here again? I will definitely tell you everything.
Even if you break your promise, even if you are hated by Cresselia... I want you to know that the person you are talking to is me.
Xu Qiansu raised her eyes and looked at Feng, but she didn't ask any questions, she just silently raised the Flute of God.
The long and sad tune slowly fades into the night along with the ethereal timbre.
Feng looked at Xu Qiansu... Yes, he was this kind of person, he never talked much.
Until the end, he didn't know his true identity, and until the end, he could only say goodbye in this half-hearted way...
When the song ended, Feng smiled charmingly, turned around in the air cutely, and asked, "Am I cute?"
At least, I want him to praise himself, even if the person he praises is actually Cresselia.
"Cute, just like the moon." Xu Qiansu pursed her lips, then looked up and chuckled.
I used the sentence I just said.
"How cute?" Feng laughed and asked curiously.
"The person I loved was paralyzed in bed because of a serious illness, and could only stay at home for the rest of her life. She usually liked to go out to play, so I carried her on my back, left home, and burned down the house... We walked through mountains and rivers, and along the way We met all kinds of people, Pokémon, and things. After traveling for an unknown amount of time, she was dying. Then, we arrived at a beach and looked up. A huge full moon was reflected in the sea. She looked up. Looking at the moon in the sky and me looking at her...how does that sound?"
Feng was startled for a moment, then smiled happily, gently and cutely, "That's awesome."
"You are so cute." Xu Qiansu laughed with her.
The moonlight falls and the evening breeze blows.
Feng looked at Xu Qiansu, the time had finally come.
"Thank you, Xu Qiansu... I wish you a good dream." Feng is just an ordinary little girl. She can't do anything and can't do anything for Xu Qiansu... I can only hope so and wish you such blessings.
Thank you, Xu Qiansu.
Thank you for always smiling so tenderly, thank you for chatting with me for such a long time, thank you...
She reluctantly withdrew her gaze and flew upward.
"I wish you a good dream... Feng." A gentle murmur slowly reached Feng's ears from below.
Feng was stunned, and all the suppressed emotions in his heart surged out with these words.
She looked back suddenly...but all she could see was darkness.
Ultramarine Town.
Feng curled up, crystal tears falling from the corners of his eyes and dripping on the pillow...
She was just an eight-year-old child, and it was impossible for her to understand where her inner emotions came from...but at least, her tears truly proved it.
Everything that was said just now was not false.
She thanked Xu Qiansu for bringing him happiness, and did not want to give up on Xu Qiansu's upcoming separation, but she did do what Xu Qiansu told her.
Life is like a train heading to the grave. There will be many stops on the way. It is difficult for someone to accompany you from beginning to end. When the person accompanying you wants to get off the train, you should be grateful even if you are reluctant to leave, and then wave goodbye...
Cresselia stood beside her, looking at her sleeping face, then bent down, covered her with a quilt, and then disappeared into the watery moonlight.
Only the moonlight reflected in the crystal tears told her that she had been here.
Have a sweet dream, Maple.
Xu Qiansu has never forgotten you in his life.
