At this time.
Another woman approached, her skin as white as snow, also dressed in a white dress. Under the moonlight, her gentle features radiated a calming charm.
She stood there in front of Su Bai, and it seemed as if this desolate world had been revitalized by her arrival.
"Is the cigarette good?"
After a long while, the person opened their mouth slightly, and their incredibly gentle words were like a spring breeze that dispelled the cold winter and brought forth vibrant life.
Su Bai glanced at her, said nothing, and simply lit another cigarette, smoking silently.
"Can you walk with me for a bit?"
Before Su Bai could even agree, the person grabbed him and stepped into the void. In no time, they arrived at the former site of Tianqiu City.
At that time, the area covered by peach blossoms in Tianqiu City seemed to have expanded even further.
Under the beams of golden light, these peach blossoms appeared exceptionally beautiful, and being there felt as if every breath carried the fragrance of peaches.
"Su Bai, do you remember this place?"
Su Bai nodded.
"White, white, beautiful, beautiful..."
Looking at the peach blossoms in front of her, Hu Meihong happily grabbed Su Bai's arm and shook it, her eyebrows and eyes smiling, her eyes shining, carefree.
The newcomer glanced at her, a hint of envy in his eyes.
perhaps.
At this moment, it seems that only she can be so innocent and carefree.
"What's up?"
Su Bai stubbed out his cigarette and looked at her calmly.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to bring you here to take a look around, and also to ask you a question on behalf of Guoguang."
She—Gu Xixue—smiled.
Su Bai didn't speak again, silently watching her, his mind replaying that image of the resolute middle-aged man.
“Guoguang told me this before.”
He said that hope is the most beautiful thing, the most beautiful thing in the world.
"With hope, anything is possible."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai turned to look at her.
But at this moment, even though he possessed extremely powerful pupil abilities, he could only catch a glimpse of a star-like light in the depths of her eyes.
There was nothing else.
But this glimmer of light was like an indestructible hope.
"So, I want to ask you, do you think there is any hope in this world?"
"Maybe."
Su Bai said expressionlessly.
"Since you don't know, then I'll tell you."
"Hope always exists and never disappears."
"It's like an elusive idea; as long as you believe in it, it will always exist."
"Perhaps we can't see hope right now, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
"On the contrary, it is precisely because we cannot see it, touch it, or know it that it continues to exist."
"..."
The moonlight was like water, and silver waves covered the ground.
Above the peaceful and serene Tianqiu City, Gu Xixue's gentle voice rang out continuously.
She didn't know if Su Bai had heard her, or perhaps she wasn't saying these words to Su Bai, but rather to herself.
She didn't stop talking until dawn broke and a rainbow-like red cloud appeared on the horizon. She turned to look at the thin figure beside her, whose face was indifferent and who was shrouded in smoke.
Beneath his feet lay an endless peach orchard, and above his head rose the sun. Yet, at this moment, he seemed to be at the crossroads of darkness and light, appearing quite awkward.
She didn't say anything more, turned her gaze away, and, like him, quietly surveyed the peach grove.
At this moment, her nostrils were filled with the scent of peach blossoms and the smell of smoke emanating from Su Bai. The two scents strangely blended together, creating a unique fragrance.
The smell was so enticing that she, who usually dislikes the smell of cigarettes, couldn't help but take a few more puffs.
It was as if, after this experience, I would never smell this scent again.
Why are you saying all this?
After a long while, Su Bai finally spoke, his face expressionless.
Gu Xixue looked at him and smiled gently as always.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that hope is still there, hope has always been there, hope has never disappeared."
"I see."
Su Bai didn't say anything more, and with a light tap of his toes, he returned to the city wall of Chang'an.
As soon as he landed, two figures flew over and came to his side. The newcomers were Yang Tian and Qiu Lanruo.
“Su Bai, I’m here to apply for a trip back to the mainland for you, to visit my parents and have a meal with them.”
Yang Tian smiled helplessly.
"Me too."
Qiu Lanruo echoed.
"Go ahead, just come back in two days."
"Are you coming back?" Yang Tian asked, somewhat puzzled.
“If you want to leave the Chang’an Squad, you don’t have to come back. But since you chose to join the Chang’an Squad, then it’s up to me.”
