She sat on the edge of the bed, silently sorting out her mood, temporarily suppressing her fatigue and worries about the unknown mission.
Then she stood up and slowly left the room.
Lan Yue was sorting the goods outside at this time. When she saw Chen Mengli appear, her eyes immediately revealed a bit of reluctance.
Lan Yue walked up gently and asked, "Sister Mengli, are you going to be busy again?" Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing Shen Mengli.
Chen Mengli nodded slightly and said, "Feng Ying has given me a new task. The deadline this time is very tight, so I must complete it as soon as possible."
Although her tone was calm, one could still hear a hint of helplessness in it.
Lan Yue asked cautiously, "So...how long will Sister Mengli be gone this time?"
She stared at Shen Mengli without blinking, her eyes full of worry and reluctance.
Chen Mengli thought seriously for a moment and replied, "I'll be back in a month at the least, or more than ten years at the most. While I'm away, I'll leave it to Lan Yue to take care of the exchange's business."
Her eyes revealed her trust in Lan Yue, but also her helplessness about leaving.
Lan Yue heard this, and the reluctance in her eyes was about to overflow. She walked forward quickly, hugged Shen Mengli tightly, and her voice was slightly choked: "Sister Mengli, I..."
Chen Mengli was also reluctant to leave, and she gently patted Lan Yue's back.
In fact, she also wanted Lan Yue to stay with her, but Lan Yue didn't have a system, and it would be easy for her to encounter accidents when entering a mission environment full of unknown dangers. What's more... Feng Ying would not allow it.
Lan Yue also knew that Chen Mengli was doing this for her own good. After hugging her for a while, she took the initiative to let go of her hand, and holding back the tears in her eyes, she patted Chen Mengli's shoulder and said with a strong face: "Sister Mengli, go quickly. The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back."
Chen Mengli looked at Lan Yue's understanding appearance, and her heart ached even more. But when she thought about the complicated tasks...
She had no choice but to nod, looked at Lan Yue deeply, a look that contained a thousand words, and then turned and left.
...................
Lan Yue stood quietly there, her eyes fixed on Shen Mengli's gradually receding figure.
Her eyes revealed a hint of reluctance and attachment, as if she wanted to deeply engrave the image of Shen Mengli in her mind.
It was not until Shen Mengli's back completely disappeared from her sight that Lan Yue slowly withdrew her gaze as if she had been awakened from a dream.
She slowly turned around and looked around. The huge exchange seemed unusually empty at that moment, and the silence was so unsettling.
With every step she took, Lan Yue could clearly hear the sound of her footsteps echoing in the empty exchange. The feeling of loneliness suddenly surged into her heart like a tide.
Lan Yue's heart was suddenly filled with a feeling of helplessness.
What should I do? Sister Mengli had just left, but she already started to miss her.
This longing came so suddenly that Lan Yue was caught off guard.
She sighed softly, and the sigh was particularly clear in the silent environment.
Every corner of the exchange carries every bit of time she and Chen Mengli spent together.
In such an environment full of memories, Lan Yue found that he could not control himself from thinking about her.
In fact, Lan Yue's love for Chen Mengli did not just come from the life-saving grace she gave him.
Although the storybooks always say that a life-saving favor should be repaid with one's own body, Lan Yue knows that real life is not as simple and clichéd as the storybooks. In reality, there are many ways to repay a favor.
Lan Yue clearly realized that his feelings for Chen Mengli were like a seedling that gradually took root, sprouted, and grew vigorously during the years of their daily interactions.
And that life-saving grace was just the beginning of this relationship.
Recalling the life-saving grace, that was the first time Lan Yue mustered up the courage to independently undertake the sect's mission after entering Qingyun Sect.
Lan Yue was young and energetic at that time, and was full of confidence in his own abilities. He thought that with the skills he had acquired through training during this period, completing this task would be a piece of cake.
However, as she went deeper into the misty forest, an accident suddenly occurred.
A group of demonic wolves suddenly appeared from nowhere and surrounded her.
The eyes of those demon wolves were flashing with a dark green light, and their fangs were covered with saliva, shining with a chilling light under the moonlight. They slowly approached Lan Yue step by step.
Lan Yue was shocked, but she quickly calmed down, gripped the weapon tightly in her hand, and fought hard.
However, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great. Although Lan Yue tried his best, he was soon scratched by the wolf's claws and blood oozed out.
Just when Lan Yue was feeling desperate and thought that she was about to die in the wolf's mouth, Chen Mengli miraculously appeared like a fairy descending to earth.
Chen Mengli's figure was light and graceful, and the sword in her hand was like a nimble snake, moving swiftly among the pack of demonic wolves.
Every time she swung her sword, a flash of blood arose, accompanied by the wailing of the demon wolves. Shen Mengli was like a Valkyrie on the battlefield, heroic and valiant.
Lan Yue stared at Chen Mengli infatuatedly. At that moment, Chen Mengli was like the only light in her dark world, her whole world.
After the battle, Chen Mengli walked to Lan Yue with light steps. She gently helped the injured Lan Yue up and asked about her injuries softly.
