By the Holy Lake, morning.
Xiaojiu hugged the white cat and still sat on the eaves of the igloo.
It seems like nothing happened, but in fact everything has happened.
Last night, the boy and the girl broke up.
Last night, the princess who made promises and prayers in the dark night.
Last night, the princess of the Aussie Empire spent the night with her in this simple igloo.
Then the next morning, she sat on the eaves of the igloo as usual.
Daze, and others.
In a sense, she had done everything she could do last night. In fact, she had nothing except the identity of the imperial princess. Even a year ago, she gave up this identity in her own name, but last night, a year later, she chose to regain that identity because she needed it.
Ao Xuehua said goodbye to her long before dawn. It was very dangerous to stay in Lanyin that night, so Ao Xuehua should not and did not want to take risks, but this did not prevent her from wanting to go after dawn. Check it out.
After all, as long as the empire's army officially arrives at noon, everything will be settled.
Ye Qing did not go, because to her, she was Xiao Jiu first, and then the imperial princess who carried a heavy surname. She did not want to see those soldiers who would kneel down to her, and because she had more to do here. She has been doing this important thing for nearly a year. If nothing else happens, she will stay at the lake for another two years.
To be precise, she is sitting here more to wait for someone.
Behind her was the vast lake, blue and vast. She was sitting in the morning light. According to usual experience, the boy would come from that side soon.
He waved to her and called her Xiaojiu.
So although she regained her language ability last night, she didn't have a suitable communication partner. If it were true, she had that pure white cat in her arms.
Xiaojiu bit her lip and said softly: "Hey, Jie Ying. Do you think I should forgive him if he comes over?"
"Obviously we have known each other for such a long time, and obviously I really like him, but why is he willing to call me annoying for a guy he just met?"
"How can I forgive that idiot? Unless An Ning's mother comes forward, I will reluctantly accept his apology."
The white cat meowed softly.
"So it's not false at all to say he's a big idiot." Xiao Jiu said: "Why can't he see it? I'm just unhappy. Although the lantern is beautiful, how can I be so rare?"
Yes, she is the princess of the entire empire, and all the land under her feet belongs to her. So what if she would like that orchid and rhinoceros lantern?
"If you really want to give it to someone else, why don't you come and ask for my opinion." Xiaojiu bit her lip: "Do you really think that I am that kind of petty guy?"
"He is obviously my brother." She murmured to herself: "Why, after only a short while, he can hold the hand of another girl."
Xiaojiu looked at the peaceful winter plain, and naturally there was no sign of the boy.
She lowered her head, tears sliding down quietly.
With a slight nasal sound, he said the last five words:
"I hate you the most!"
The white cat looked at the water droplets running down the girl's cheeks, curiously went up to it and took a lick, then realized that the shiny thing was not tasty at all and had a salty taste.
At this moment, the white cat suddenly became alert, its sharp claws stretched out, its hair stood up, and it shrank back in fear in the girl's arms, making a slightly threatening purr.
somebody is coming!
Xiao Jiu raised her head in surprise, with light cyan tears on her face, but her smile froze the moment she raised her head. She gritted her teeth and said coldly: "What are you doing here?"
It was a black figure, and under the broad mage hood were pure bright hair and eyes, like solidified flames.
Xiaojiu has already seen her peerless appearance, but has no favorable impression at all.
The mage in black quietly raised his hand and handed out a folded piece of snow-white paper.
Xiaojiu didn't know what it was about, but curiosity drove her to reach out and take it.
Opening it, there were black words on the white letter paper, and Xiao Jiu could never mistake the familiar handwriting.
It's Ge Sheng.
Xiao Jiu couldn't wait to scan the first line of text, and then his expression was stunned for an instant.
The black-clothed mage watched calmly, watching the tears gradually filling Xiao Jiu's aqua blue eyes, and watching the first bright teardrop fall along his chin.
"Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot! Idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot." When Xiao Jiu saw the last word, he kept repeating the same two words until his tone changed from murmuring to scolding and then to Repeating feebly, she tore the white paper into pieces with both hands, holding it in her hands and freezing it into ice-cold snow. Then she could no longer suppress her hands and covered her cheeks, and a low sob came from the princess's throat.
The black-clothed mage looked at the girl who was losing her composure in front of him, his eyes like the sunset showing no emotion.
"Sorry, I don't know what to say to comfort you."
Xiaojiu turned her face away with all her strength. Only then did she realize that she was crying in front of the person she least wanted to see, so she jumped off the eaves in embarrassment, staggered and fell directly on the rough sand, and a stone stabbed her. When it entered her knee, blood suddenly gushes out.
With such a real stinging feeling, Xiaojiu could hardly remember the last time he was in such a miserable state.
But she bit her lip, wiped away her tears, reached out to pull out the stone, and then recited the familiar yet unfamiliar spell.
The levitation technique that was once so simple for her was now so difficult to do.
She didn't know what she was doing, she just instinctively wanted to leave and escape.
At least, I don't want to cry in front of that person.
…
…
Ge Sheng stood there and watched the black-clothed mage calmly hand the letter he wrote to Xiao Jiu.
Listening to the countless idiots that the girl said in rapid succession.
Watch her cover her face and cry.
Watch her run away in panic.
Ge Sheng could not describe his feelings, as if he had personally destroyed everything he once cherished.
He stood in the barrier built for him by the black mage. Here, no one could see him, but he could hear and see everything outside.
So when Ge Sheng saw Xiao Jiu falling to the ground and her white dress stained with blood, he couldn't help but want to rush out.
But that barrier also cuts off the connection between the two worlds.
"Did I do something wrong?" Ge Sheng asked, when the black-clothed mage returned to his side.
"I don't know," she said. "But she was sad."
Ge Sheng looked at his hands and suddenly didn't know what he had done.
Last night, he asked the girl next to him for a pen and paper, and wrote his farewell on the plain white paper.
…
…
"Xiaojiu, or Ye Qing, your highness the princess.
After our first meeting, my mother told me that you were a great person, but I never imagined that you were that kind of person.
Perhaps, many people will be happy and happy to meet such a powerful person like you.
But I do not.
The Xiaojiu I know is the child who tilts his head and smiles like a baby bird, raises the sandbox to me and says: "It's a joke, don't take it seriously."
The Xiaojiu I know is the one who raised the ice board with a smile on the water and said, "Drink water first." Then he grabbed my ankle and pulled me down.
The Xiaojiu I know is the sister who would wrap her arms around me and whisper in my ear: "I mean, will you be my brother?"
I like you very much, I remember saying that.
I have thought many times that I hope I can protect your smile.
Until death.
Until, yesterday.
I still can't understand your behavior at that time. It was so unreasonable and willful, and your last irresponsible words made me very, very unhappy.
Then I found out who you are.
I saw the most noble man in the entire Lanyin City kneeling respectfully in front of you, and I saw the people in the entire Lanyin City kneeling down to you like a black ocean.
It was then that I realized that the distance between you and me was so far that it was unimaginable.
I finally understand why you are often in a daze and why you know almost everything.
We live in different worlds, and we occasionally intersect, which is both lucky and sad.
Thank you, I spent the happiest time in my life with you.
but.
That's all.
It is impossible for a princess to have a commoner brother, and similarly, it is impossible for me to have a sister who is a princess.
Goodbye, Xiaojiu.
This is also the last time I call you this. "
