Shushu, how nice it would be if you were still here.
He walked slowly, continuing along the cobblestones.
Blackness shrouded the earth. Walking alone in the night, with the wind gently blowing on my cheeks, I felt an indescribable loneliness and sadness.
When I looked up.
A familiar figure stood in the garden.
The bright moon hung in the sky, and his figure was swallowed up in the shadows of the night.
Mu Lianshen walked over.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhai Jiu remained motionless, facing the gradually rising night tide, his back looking lonely.
Mu Lianshen stood side by side with him. Neither of them said a word, just staring blankly into the distance.
Zhai Jiu half closed his eyes, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and took one sip after another in the silence.
After a while, the bottle of wine was empty and he walked to the stone table beside him and sat down.
Put the empty bottle on the table and open another one.
Mu Lianshen came over and sat opposite him, saying calmly: "You have reached your limit, if you drink any more, it will be too much."
Zhai Jiu was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we had a drink together. My alcohol tolerance has changed a long time ago."
"That's right," Mu Lianshen said indifferently, "Then let's drink together tonight."
After saying this, he didn't care that there was no cup on the table and picked up a bottle of Erguotou next to him and opened it.
He raised the bottle towards Zhai Jiuqing, pretending to toast, and took a big gulp of the wine.
Zhai Jiu had a faint smile on his face and his eyes were calm, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Don't you want to drink?"
Mu Lianshen swung the bottle of wine and said leisurely: "I suddenly want to drink again..."
After drinking half a bottle of wine, Mu Lianshen suddenly looked at his wrist, which had become more round and translucent due to years of rubbing. He suddenly sighed, "I don't know what we will become in the future."
The air is slightly still.
Zhai Jiu put down the bottle and slowly raised his eyes, "Why do you ask that?"
Mu Lianshen did not mean to be ambiguous and said bluntly, "We are now,"
"It's gone further and further,"
Zhai Jiu lowered his eyes and chuckled: "You should know that our two families will not be enemies."
His seemingly calm eyes were clearly filled with colored memories.
As his eyes flickered, his emotions for the past surged out.
Sighing regret, resentment, remorse, and endless loneliness.
Mu Lianshen raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then asked calmly, "So, our relationship is now just a superficial one that we have to maintain because of our family?"
His tone was slightly lowered: "Zhai Jiu, what are you upset about?"
"Is it just because of Shushu?" Mu Lianshen stared at him closely, "But you should understand that feelings cannot be forced."
Seeing that he still didn't say a word, Mu Lianshen's eyes became even more indifferent. He looked at Zhai Jiu's hand that had been stroking the Buddhist beads, picked up the wine bottle and took another big sip of wine.
The voice was very light, like a sigh, "In that case..."
At the same time, he quickly grabbed his hand and took the Buddhist beads off his wrist.
"Then why are you suppressing it?"
The next moment the Buddhist beads left the wrist.
Zhai Jiu's expression suddenly changed.
The cool night breeze still lingered on his body, and his face was frosted by the moonlight, making him incredibly cold.
The eyes, which were originally calm, suddenly became deep and unfathomable.
"Zhai Jiu, there is no point in wearing this bead. It is better not to maintain this appearance."
Mu Lianshen didn't even raise his voice, and said steadily under his cold eyes: "Brother, since you don't want to do it, then... forget it."
Zhai Jiu paused, then slowly raised his head. His eyes were so deep and scary, and he spoke word by word, "You're right. Being your brother is really tiring."
Mu Lianshen's pupils trembled, his eyes gradually became sinister, and his voice was full of chill: "Yes, I think so too,"
"Shushu is my woman, the woman I love the most. I can't let her go. I never regret it. If you want to be uncomfortable, then be uncomfortable. I won't persuade you anymore."
A hint of sarcasm flashed across his face, which had become increasingly stern due to his drunkenness. His face quickly turned gloomy again, and he said heartlessly, "I don't want you as my brother anymore."
Mu Lianshen took one last sip of wine, placed the bottle heavily on the table, and slowly stood up.
Zhai Jiu's hoarse voice was filled with a bit of morbid madness, "Obviously, I knew her the earliest."
"I clearly told you that I have a girl I fell in love with at first sight,"
"I just left once and everything changed."
"Mu Lianshen," he seemed to have opened up his long-suppressed heart, and all his emotions were released.
The voice gradually became louder, "Who transferred me away from that mission?"
"Did you do that on purpose? Huh?"
Mu Lianshen's eyes narrowed when he heard this.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief at his absurd guess.
Zhai Jiu suddenly laughed out loud, "Since I was little, my family has told me that I want to be good friends with you."
"Sure," he shrugged, "We already have a good relationship, so being friends isn't too forced."
"You are well-educated and better than me in martial arts. Every time I am educated at home, it is all about Lian Shen."
Zhai Jiu stood up and walked in front of him. "Everyone compares me to you, everything."
"Just because we grew up together and we're friends, does that mean I have to be the same as you?"
"I can accept it. I am not petty. My brother is better than me. I am happy for you."
"After all, he is the one who is willing to give me the amulet he has been carrying for more than ten years. We should have a relationship as close as brothers."
His vocal cords seemed to be cut, and every word he said was filled with unbearable pain. "But I'm so depressed."
Mu Lianshen's hands holding the Buddhist beads gradually clenched.
"It doesn't matter," he said, smiling, but looking more and more crazy.
"But Fu Jingshu..."
