The moon was as cool as water, and the boy's face was shockingly pale, almost the same color as the snow-white clothes he was wearing, but his eyebrows and eyes were as black as ink, and their depth was unfathomable.
Baili Feiyue looked him straight in the eyes, "I have never had any feelings for you."
"Xiaojiu, I know your life story, and you know mine too. Since we were little, apart from our mother, no one around us would even look at us. So far, there are only a handful of relatives who treat us sincerely. And those who treat us well, the time they spend with us is so... short."
"So, I cherish every family member I care about." She looked gentle and tolerant, "Including you, my brother."
Even though they both had their own purposes when they first met him, gradually, she really started to treat him as her own brother.
"When a younger brother occasionally makes a mistake and offends his older sister, she will get angry and teach him a lesson, but she will never never forgive him, distance herself from him, or send him to hell."
She continued, "If someone wants to kill you, no matter if that person is Zhangsun Wuji or someone else, I hope you can strike first like you did this time, as long as you can protect yourself."
All that was said was a sister's heartfelt words to her younger brother.
"I'm not that good at things like love between men and women, but Xiaojiu, if you keep plotting against me like this in the future, I won't be able to meet you again. Don't say that in my heart we are siblings, supporting each other, understanding each other, and advancing and retreating together. Even if it's just any other man, if he plots against me again and again because he loves me, I will never accept him."
"I don't blame you for this incident, and I have no right to blame you, but I must make these things clear to you. It's good for both you and me. I thought too simply in the past. I thought someone as insightful as you wouldn't do anything too stupid. You'll understand after I explain it to you..."
It was also because he was too inconspicuous. He didn't deliberately avoid anything, but all his actions of being close to her were so natural that even though she knew that her brother had had strange feelings towards her, she didn't feel at all that his approach was like a man approaching a woman.
Baili Feiyue asked herself in her heart, on the one hand, Ling Duannian was very powerful, but more importantly, she was indeed clumsy and slow in this aspect.
"What do you think?"
"Hahaha, you think. Sister..."
The boy's smile was a little bit beautiful, and his trembling lips finally made a hoarse sound, but it was like drifting away in the sky, as if it would quietly dissipate at any time and could not be found in this world.
The sound was very light, like goose feathers, but more like snowflakes.
"You thought I didn't have any romantic feelings for you. You thought I saved you just because you did, and I mistook the gratitude and brotherly love for romantic feelings. Everything is just what you thought, sister."
"If Changsun Wuji dies, or even if he doesn't die, as long as he doesn't provoke you or make you sad, or try to destroy you, I will be a good brother to you for the rest of my life."
"But sister, I can't help it. I can't bear to see you fall into his hands again!"
"Sister, if you are sad, I am sadder than you are. If you are in pain, I am in more pain than you are!"
He suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, holding it tightly in his palm, "Sister, why not me?"
"Sister, you said you can't accept the sincerity of someone who plots against you. But what about Changsun Wuji? Since Changsun Wuji can do it, why can't I?"
Baili Feiyue didn't pull her hand back, and let him pull it. She said sincerely, "Why are there so many whys? If I care, then I care. If there is no love between men and women, then there is no love. It's that simple."
Ling Duannian smiled again and said tartly, "I can't give Sister Dajing the vast and glorious kingdom, nor can I give Sister the powerful motherhood that shakes the world, so why would Sister choose me?"
Baili Feiyue also smiled, her smile was calm and calm, she slowly pulled her hand back, stood up, opened the curtain, and prepared to leave, "Whatever you want."
"Sister...you can't leave."
The laughter and crying of the young man behind him was as brilliant as a painting, making his face, which was now completely pale and bloodless, appear to be filled with endless sadness.
As soon as he finished speaking, Baili Feiyue swayed slightly and soon lost his balance.
Before falling, Baili Feiyue held onto the hatch and sighed, "Xiaojiu."
After a sigh, his body and consciousness could no longer hold on and he slowly fell down.
…
In the dream, it seemed as if I was sleeping on the clouds.
Accompanied by a faint fragrance, which appears and disappears intermittently.
The soft light was just right, and Baili Feiyue woke up.
She opened her eyes and everything appeared clearly in front of her. She found that there was a soft and comfortable big bed under her and a soft red curtain above her head.
She wanted to raise her hand, but she had no strength in her body and couldn't even lift a finger.
"Are you awake, sister?" a familiar voice sounded, and a hand stroked her face.
The soft morning light kissed the boy's body, who was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, like a dragonfly skimming the water, dyeing the beautiful figure a translucent color, as if crystal clear from the filth of the world.
Baili Feiyue found it ironic that human hearts were indeed the most difficult things to look directly at and consider.
Last time it was Changsun Wuji, this time it was Ling Duannian.
They were all people she once cared about very much.
Looking at the young man beside the bed, Baili Feiyue's eyes no longer had the previous gentleness, and she said coldly, "You really did take action."
The young man did not remove his hand from her face and whispered, "I know that you came to see me, sister, to give me your last chance."
"Sister, you want to bet on me whether I will attack you."
His eyes were as rippling as glass, and his beautiful fingers, white as snow, brushed Baili Feiyue's forehead and gently wiped away the thin sweat on it, "But sister, why did you test me? Sister, you can't bear it, or sister, you still like me a little deep in your heart, the kind of love a woman has for a man, but you dare not admit it. So you have to use this method to stop yourself from thinking about it."
He gently wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead, with heartache in his eyes, "Sister, don't struggle forcefully, your body will feel uncomfortable. This Gu was specially made for you, sister, you can't break it with willpower and brute force alone."
Baili Feiyue closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly opened them again, "Ling Duannian, do you think I will really come to see you without doing anything and leaving any clues?"
"Of course not, Sister. But Sister, look where this is."
He got out of bed and drew open the heavy and gorgeous curtains of the wooden building. Instantly, the chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers and the freshness of the mountains and forests filled his face.
"Sister, there is a ship like the one you saw last night in every port. Now those ships have already sailed to different directions for a long time. Even Changsun Wuji would have only guessed that I took you out to sea on one of the ships. Who would have thought that I was in the hinterland of the mountain behind Changsun Wuji's house?"
"No one will be able to find us in a short time, Sister."
