"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, wake up, wake up—"
Wang Yi rushed into the room, first turning off the noisy loudspeaker alarm clock, and then looked at the other bed, only to find that the blankets on the bed were neatly folded, and there was no one there, nor any sign that anyone had slept on it!
Wang Yi was immediately dumbfounded.
"Nobody here?"
How come there's no one here?
Could it be that Xiao Zhou has already gotten up?
But why didn't he answer the phone?
"Did something happen that you didn't have time to say before you left?"
Wang Yi immediately checked and confirmed that Xiao Zhou's personal belongings were still there.
That's strange.
Wang Yi was completely baffled.
But soon, he discovered another key point—"
"That kid didn't come back yesterday, did he?"
Wang Yi touched the bed; his palm was ice-cold.
This is strange. The phone can't be reached, and the person can't be found. A perfectly normal person, suddenly can't be contacted.
What's going on? This person left without even leaving a message...
Just as Wang Yi was wondering what was going on, his phone rang again.
[Xiao Zhou: Urgent family matter, I need to leave temporarily, please do not disturb.]
Wang Yi stared at the message for a moment, then muttered to himself, somewhat annoyed, "This kid, he didn't even call back. He really doesn't consider me a friend!"
You should at least tell him before you leave!
You made him worry so much for nothing.
Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to return to the film crew, unaware that his every move was being observed...
...
Night falls, the moon is full on the rooftop, and insects chirp.
A tall, elegant man and woman sat on a high platform, calmly gazing up at the distant full moon.
"Actually, I've always had some doubts."
Now that she knew her true identity, Huo Wan'er looked at the handsome swordsman in front of her with a sorrowful expression, her voice trembling slightly.
"Are those things from the past really that important?"
Song Chenye calmly looked into the distance, and upon hearing Huo Wan'er's words, he nodded firmly: "Yes, it's important."
"Even if it means losing everything for revenge?"
What does it mean to lose everything?
Song Chenye lovingly stroked the longsword in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I have gained the courage to overcome everything, and a heart that has returned to peace."
"As a son, I cannot fulfill my filial duties to my parents; as a knight-errant, I cannot eradicate evil; as a man, I cannot make a name for myself. What use is my life then?"
“Even if my cultivation is to stop killing with killing and control evil with evil, I only kill those who deserve to die and only retaliate against those who harbor malice towards me. I sit upright and walk the righteous path of revenge, so why would I be afraid of losing it?”
Huo Wan'er listened to Song Chenye's words and fell into a long silence.
Finally, she gave a bitter smile: "Brother Song, you are a respectable hero."
As someone destined to be abandoned on his path of revenge, her heart ached so much, as if burned by fire, making it hard to breathe.
She hated it so much, hated that she was her father's daughter and couldn't change that fact, and she couldn't help but resent Song Chenye's determination to move forward, yet he wouldn't even look back at her.
What she hates even more is her current indecisiveness, her cynical nature, and her being caught between good and evil and filial piety!
Huo Wan'er grew increasingly sorrowful, but no tears could flow from her eyes—she had no right to shed tears at this moment.
So Huo Wan'er could only bite her lip and stare blankly at the moon in the distance.
The cool moonlight fell upon her, making her feel icy cold.
Huo Wan'er curled up, hugging her arms, feeling dizzy for the first time from the cool night breeze.
Song Chenye noticed Huo Wan'er's movements and subconsciously pressed his sleeve. Finally, as if realizing something was amiss, he stood up and said, "The autumn night is chilly, let's go back first."
