night
Su Wen and Xiao Xi walked down the corridor one after another. At the end of the corridor was a room that had not been occupied in ten years.
Su Wen pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Xiao Xi. This room was where Tang Xi lived ten years ago. After Tang Xi left, people would still be sent to clean the room, but no one stayed there again.
Su Wen looked at the furnishings in the house. Everything was still the same as it was ten years ago. Su Wen felt nostalgic for the past, but it didn't matter because its original owner had returned.
Looking at Xiao Xi's beautiful face, Su Wen's heart was filled with a faint joy. This kind of joy was indescribable, and Su Wen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. This was a feeling of relief that he had not experienced in the past ten years.
Su Wen had a smile at the corner of his eyes, full of Xiao Xi, and said warmly, "You know, Xiao Xi, since you left, I have planted peonies in the back garden. Looking at the peonies, I can think of you. Although I can't remember those heartbeats and joys, but you came back, and when I saw you for the first time, I didn't know why there was a burst of bitterness in my heart. This inexplicable emotion would have made me very distressed before. Others have said to me, if this emotion comes up it’s because I’m thinking of you.”
"Now that you are back, we can go back to the past. I feel a faint joy in my heart. Maybe this is happiness."
As he said that, Su Wen smiled and wanted to reach out and rub Xiao Xi's hair, but Xiao Xi stepped back with complicated eyes. The distance between them was very short, but there seemed to be a deep line between them. The bottomless chasm cannot be crossed.
Su Wen paused, and slowly lowered his outstretched hand. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's my fault that my memory is not very good. You have lost your memory now and are very strange to me."
Xiao Xi shook her head and said calmly, "I heard from the soldiers around me that you once loved me very much, and I married you."
Speaking of marriage, Su Wen raised his hand to show Xiao Xi the peony ring on his index finger, and said with a smile, "Yes, we were husband and wife. This is the ring we wore when we got married, and it is also a testimony of our love."
Su Wen paused, and when he looked at the peony ring hanging on Tang Xi's neck, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he said sadly, "I can wear that ring on your neck for you. ?"
Only then did Xiao Xi notice that there was still a peony ring hanging around her neck. Thinking of the little moments between her and Su Wen, Xiao Xi smiled bitterly and took off the ring and handed it to Su Wen.
When Su Wen took the ring, he felt happy. Xiao Xi had agreed to let him wear the ring for her.
Su Wen looked at Xiao Xi expectantly, thinking in his mind of himself putting a ring on Xiao Xi.
But Xiao Xi didn't stretch out her left hand for a long time. Xiao Xi closed her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she slowly said, "Su Wen, you and I are in the past tense. I'll give you the ring back. We won't We are now husband and wife, and we will just be strangers from now on.”
Xiao Xi's words made Su Wen stunned. Every word touched Su Wen's heart and made Liu Su Wen's blood boil.
Su Wen's vision blurred, he shook his head, held back the bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and smiled sheepishly, "What did you just say, Xiao Xi? I just had an auditory hallucination, and I heard you tell me that we won't be together anymore." They are a couple, that’s not true, is it?”
Xiao Xi said slowly, "Su Wen, look at me."
After he finished speaking, Su Wen looked over, tears welling up in his eyes. He was both looking forward to and afraid in his heart.
Expecting Xiao Xi to tell him that what just happened was just an auditory hallucination, but he was afraid that those words just now were all true.
