The cheers were making me even more irritable. I glanced at Liu Lieyu, who was smiling broadly beside me, and thought to myself, "Liu Lieyu is really something, he can smile for so long."
Sigh, I wonder where they're taking me.
After the chariot had traveled for about half an hour, a vast square came into view. In the middle of the square stood a towering altar, and people were kneeling neatly at its base.
At this point, I roughly understood what to do next. The same journey, the same scene, had happened once before, ten thousand years ago.
"Emperor Donghuang, Empress Consort, we have arrived." The divine chariot came to a smooth stop, and the attendant who had been following along announced.
Liu Lieyu nodded, stepped down from the chariot first, and stood beside it, extending a hand to greet me.
I glanced at Liu Lieyu's outstretched hand but didn't take it. Instead, I jumped off the chariot myself. I lost my balance when I jumped, and the dress I was wearing was too complicated, so I almost fell. When Liu Lieyu saw that I was unsteady, he quickly reached out a hand to help me.
I silently took a step back, not wanting to have too much physical contact with Liu Lieyu, and couldn't help but complain in my heart, "Who made the palanquin so high? It's so inconvenient."
Liu Lieyu saw me take a half step back, but he didn't seem angry. He chuckled and withdrew his hand, probably used to my attitude.
Why did you bring me here?
"What are you doing? Xin'er, have you forgotten?" Liu Lieyu reached out to stroke my face, but I dodged him. Liu Lieyu's hand hovered in mid-air, looking a little embarrassed, but he didn't care.
"Liu Lieyu, I will never again swear marriage vows with you." I said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.
Liu Lieyu simply smiled and casually pointed to the left side below the altar, "Do you know who's there?"
"Who?" I could roughly guess in my mind, it was either someone close to me or You.
"Go see for yourself." Liu Lieyu smiled with exceptional confidence and certainty.
"Fine, I'll look then." I glared at Liu Lieyu and turned to walk briskly down to the altar. I figured there must be some ghosts there.
Liu Lieyu followed behind me at a leisurely pace, and I could still hear him humming a little tune.
Hearing Liu Lieyu's cheerful voice made me feel irritated. If I could beat him, I would have turned around and kicked him twice to make him get lost.
My gaze was fixed on the first row on the left side of the altar. I spotted Feng Su's golden hair from afar. Feng Su's hair was so eye-catching that it shimmered in the sunlight.
Seeing Feng Su, I figured You must be nearby. I looked around Feng Su, and sure enough, I spotted You's figure. Although it was just a glimpse of her back, I was certain it was You.
I lifted my skirt and ran as fast as I could, thinking that I would see You soon.
This stretch of road, neither long nor short, was the most agonizing part of my journey.
I wanted to see You, but I was also afraid that the You I saw wouldn't be You, and what would I do if it wasn't me? With a heart full of trepidation, I finally got closer and closer.
Yes, it's You's face! I can see You now. He's kneeling on the ground with his head down, and stray hairs around his face cover half of his features.
Instead, I slowed my pace, as if afraid of disturbing the scene before me.
The girl I've been longing for day and night is right in front of me now. I cover my mouth, afraid that I'll burst into tears.
You seemed to sense something, raised her head and looked in my direction. When she saw me, she was stunned for a moment, then laughed. Her laughter seemed to make the world lose its color.
