"No?" Su Yin asked doubtfully, "Although you have extraordinary abilities, a good family background, and are quite good, Master, you should at least have something you want. Life is so boring if you don't even have a goal."
"Master, is there anything or someone you want that you can't get?"
Su Yin kept chattering to Rong Hua, but Rong Hua seemed unmoved. He just lowered his head and stared at the white river lantern in his hand, as if thinking about something.
"People always need some hope in life, Master, please think about it again?" Seeing that Rong Hua's expression was still indifferent and even his look didn't change, Su Yin finally couldn't help but throw out her trump card, her wise saying.
"Hope? Isn't that something you have to earn for yourself?"
Having said this, Rong Hua finally raised his head and looked at the rippling lake. The water was rippling, and the darkness in the distance stretched to the endless end...
"Do you think that making a wish will make any difference?"
Rong Hua frowned slightly and said, "Hope is the most elusive thing in this world..."
"certainly."
As if being affected by Rong Hua's mood at the moment, Su Yin felt a little sad, but still continued to insist.
Looking at the lantern in her arms, Su Yin slowly squatted down. Her long skirt dragged slightly on the ground, blooming like a flower on the ground. A trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and she said sullenly, "But there are some things that you can't get no matter what."
"So, without hope, how can I go on? So I can only pray for hope to appear."
Su Yin smiled dejectedly, then stretched out her finger and lightly touched the center of the river lantern. Suddenly, a flame climbed up the river lantern. From Ronghua's perspective, she could only see the faint flame instantly illuminating her profile, and her eye was as bright as a star.
"Is there anything that cannot be fought for?" Rong Hua asked doubtfully, and also accompanied Su Yin, squatting on one leg slightly bent and looking at Su Yin.
"Go home," Su Yin replied sullenly, staring at the burning flame without blinking. The light was so faint, just like the faint hope in her heart, wavering and fragile...
"Actually, after I came here, I've been thinking about home and their faces every moment of every day. Every night before going to bed, I'd think about how great it would be if I could wake up tomorrow and find myself still home, having just had a very long dream. However, Heaven hasn't heard my voice even once..."
As he was speaking, Su Yin looked at the water and suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much.
Su Yin forced herself to smile at Rong Hua and said, "So, if there is no hope, it will be a very painful thing."
"If you still don't want to, then just accompany me then. Isn't today the Hundred Flowers Festival?"
"It's always a good thing to have hope."
Su Yin said sullenly. Although she felt that her mood was becoming complicated, she still insisted that Rong Hua come to make a wish and light lanterns. Rong Hua did not speak, but just looked at her profile quietly. Suddenly, there was a moment when he seemed to suddenly understand why it was her who was standing here today.
An ordinary mortal woman could actually talk freely with the Demon King Qian Yue and one of the rare top immortals in the world, and get along with them so naturally. She never worshipped or hated them like others did. Her eyes were always clear, without a trace of fear or flattery. Perhaps it was because this child carried hope and fearlessness, and perhaps also the hidden hope and persistence.
"Okay." After a long silence, Rong Hua finally spoke. Before Su Yin could react, he also lightly tapped his river lantern with his finger, and his lantern lit up in an instant.
