While An Qianbai was lost in thought, she heard a snapping sound and was startled to see Gu Liyan using scissors from the dressing table to cut off a strand of silver hair.
"What are you doing?" An Qianbai asked Gu Liyan curiously.
Gu Liyan produced a red ribbon from who-knows-where, tied it up, and then handed it to An Qianbai. "I've heard that if a man falls in love with a woman, and that woman is unmarried, he can tie a red knot in his hair as a token of their love..."
"You, you mustn't misunderstand, I don't like you! I do like someone..."
“I know!” Gu Liyan interrupted An Qianbai, his smile still gentle. “I know who you like, but the reason I did this is because I like this rule—you must accept my feelings, even if you don’t like them, you have to accept them!”
An Qianbai looked at Gu Liyan, and she didn't know why the "Mo Li" in her eyes could make her heart pound!
But my memories are completely occupied by another figure in white—
A tear silently rolled down her cheek. At this moment, how wonderful it would be if it were him who had bestowed his three thousand strands of black hair upon her...
Seeing An Qianbai's tears, Gu Liyan felt a pang of pain in his heart. He helplessly let down the lock of hair and smiled slightly, "It's alright. Since you don't like it, that's fine. I... I have something to do, I'll be going now..."
Gu Liyan stood up to leave, afraid that if he didn't leave soon, he would be unable to resist holding her in his arms and calling her "Xiao Bai" again!
And now, this parting may be her final farewell in this life...
"etc!"
Gu Liyan trembled and stood frozen in place.
An Qianbai picked up the comb that had fallen to the ground and said expressionlessly, "I promised to do your hair, and it's not finished yet. How can you leave like this?"
Gu Liyan turned his head and looked at her with a delighted expression. "You, you agree to let me do my hair?"
"I didn't refuse at first, did I? After all... men can't learn how to do hair! Or do you think your brothers can do it for you?" An Qianbai said with a smirk.
Gu Liyan laughed and sat down in the chair. "Then you come!"
An Qianbai breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at him. His long hair was soft and smooth, and she couldn't help but love it. She stared at Gu Liyan's long hair for a long time.
Gu Liyan didn't break An Qianbai's silence. He knew that this way, the moment they were to separate could be delayed, delayed even further...
Tick-tock—
A tear fell to the floor, breaking the silence. No one knew what An Qianbai was thinking, but she came to her senses and began to style Gu Liyan's hair.
Gu Liyan's eyes reddened slightly when she saw An Qianbai's serious expression in the mirror.
Since leaving Gu Liyan, she is now independent and has the means to protect herself. Perhaps in the future, someone will be willing to protect her, and as for herself...
Tomorrow, after completing her mission at Tianfu, she will return to the Nine Springs Realm, and then this life of hers and his will be considered over...
The inability to grow old together in this life is a regret for both of them.
