A female voice was heard in the rain, and the sound of the girl's tender crying in my memory seemed to still be in my ears.
"Ayue, don't go... I can get better on my own..."
"Ayue, I don't want you to leave..."
"Ayue..."
Thinking about something that happened long ago, Xu Qingyi was distracted, and the black chess piece in his hand trembled and fell onto the chessboard.
"Hey!"
Yan Hui swung the fan in his hand to cover his face, smiling cunningly.
"You lose!"
"This is the first time I've beaten you!"
Xu Qingyi came back to his senses, looked at the guy he had just met, and laughed.
"I was lost in thought just now, thinking about some things in the past."
"Maybe I'm hallucinating."
“Hallucination!?”
Raising his voice, Yan Hui looked left and right, then moved closer to Xu Qingyi's position.
"No way! How could a great Imperial Master be hallucinating? Is there something unclean here?..."
“This is the National Temple.”
Reminding Yan Hui, Xu Qingyi picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one and put them into the box.
"The national temple is a place to serve Buddha, so there won't be any unclean things."
Yan Hui muttered twice and sat back in his original position. Xu Qingyi had just placed the chess pieces.
"Let's play another round."
He said this, and just as he picked up the white piece, footsteps came running towards him in the rain, splashing countless mud and water in the puddles on the ground.
The two people who heard the sound turned around at the same time. In the rain, the girl was soaked all over, her hair stuck to her face, but her eyes, which were lowered by her hair, were bright and shining.
She held up her skirt, and the cold rain penetrated her body, causing her thin body to shiver.
Xu Qingyi's heart tightened, and he dropped the white piece in his hand. He immediately took off his outer robe and ran towards Gu Qingsheng.
"Don't move! Just stand there!"
Gu Qingsheng's voice was also trembling, mixed with the rain. Xu Qingyi stopped and saw raindrops falling from the eaves outside the pavilion, dripping to his feet.
"Qiongsheng, the rain is getting heavier."
Xu Qingyi said this, frowning as he looked at Gu Qingsheng in the rain, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.
"If, if what I've done these past two days really disgusts you, and you never want to see me again... then I... I..."
Never before has Xu Qingyi spoken so cautiously.
All he had in his eyes was Gu Qingsheng, and every word he spoke was filled with timidity.
How could this be the moon of Jin and Chu?
How come I don’t know?
This has never been the moon of Jin and Chu.
He has always been his own sun.
"Then I won't show up again..."
“No!!!”
Suddenly she clenched her hands, wrinkling the dress. Her arms were shaking constantly, and in the rain, she didn't know whether it was tears or rain that kept sliding down her face.
“No… No…”
Those letters, those heart-to-heart talks between the two people in the cold spring, every scene was like a needle piercing my heart.
If Miao Lanlan were still here, she would probably say her catchphrase.
Holy crap.
She laughed and wiped away the tears from her eyes with her palms, but the tears flowed more and more violently.
"Princess, what's wrong with you..."
Yan Hui was also frightened in this place. He was at a loss, watching Gu Qingsheng crying like a frightened cat, and approached Xu Qingyi with an awkward smile as if he was coaxing a child.
"Did Xu Qingyi bully you these past two days? I... I'll beat him up for you... I'll beat him up for you..."
He slapped Xu Qingyi lightly and looked at Gu Qingsheng tentatively.
Xu Qingyi was already in a state of anxiety.
He didn't feel this bad even when he left the palace.
Just across the rainy night, I quietly looked at the thin figure opposite me, and my heart felt like it was being tightly grasped and I couldn't breathe.
He exhaled deeply and glanced coldly at Yan Hui beside him.
"roll."
Yan Hui shuddered, swallowed his saliva, and ran out in the rain in shame without even opening an umbrella.
After Yan Hui left, the rain got heavier, and Gu Qingsheng's words became more and more halting, but he still cried, and finally began to cry again in the rain.
"Ayue! Lanlan! Look at her!"
"Lanlan is dead! She disappeared!!"
The raindrops chilled Xu Qingyi's heart. His heart rose high and then fell heavily. He pursed his lips, strode into the rain, draped his clothes over Gu Qingsheng, hugged her tightly in his arms, and rubbed her cold hair with his big hands.
It seemed that her voice was choked with sobs. Xu Qingyi comforted her and lowered his eyes.
"It's okay, Kiyomori."
"It doesn't matter."
"In this world, there are causes and effects."
"But, but..."
When Miao Lanlan just left, she felt it was not quite real.
The chattering voice that had been following me completely disappeared, so I was in a very confused state at that time.
I cried until I had a headache and stayed awake until dawn.
Master Jingyuan couldn't save him.
There was no way she could save him.
"But... Jingyuan said so too! There's nothing you can do! There's nothing you can do, Ayue! Ayue! Ayue!"
"You've already saved her once, can't you save her again? Please save her, please save her!"
"Chiang Saen, Chiang Saen."
There was no answer. Xu Qingyi just called her name over and over again. In the heavy rain, the two hugged each other, one crying and the other sighing.
…
"Are you feeling better?"
A candlelight flickered in the side room of the National Temple. Gu Qingsheng sat on the couch, wearing Xu Qingyi's fur cloak. He was shivering and his eyes were red.
Handing over a cup of ginger tea, Xu Qingyi knelt on one knee, touched her hand and looked at her.
"Do you feel a little warmer now?"
He tied the belt of her cloak tighter and whispered to her.
Perhaps he had not recovered from his previous crying, so he sobbed a little, drank some ginger soup and sighed deeply.
"Is there really no way to solve Lanlan's problem?"
"That's not the case."
Xu Qingyi sat next to Gu Qingsheng
"The fact that she was able to find me at that time showed that she had a deep desire to live."
"The ancestors of the Miaojiang tribe committed many evil deeds, so their descendants are few and far between. However, Miao Lanlan is a very kind person. This can be considered the blessing she has accumulated for herself."
"The road ahead really depends on her luck, Qingsheng. If fate allows, you will meet again."
Gu Qingsheng stopped talking and lowered her head. The air became increasingly quiet. Xu Qingyi looked at her drooping long eyelashes, and her heart trembled.
He had imagined this kind of scene countless times, but when the day finally came, he didn't dare to touch it, for fear that it was a dream.
"It's getting late, how about I take you there..."
“Ayue!!”
His sleeve was suddenly grabbed, and Gu Qingsheng looked at Xu Qingyi with wet eyes.
"do not leave Me."
