Leaning on the camping chair, Xia Ruoming's heart was still so restless and she couldn't calm down.
"Ruoming..." A cold voice came from behind Xia Ruoming. Xia Ruoming knew who it was without turning around.
"Why are you here, Feng Wu? It's getting late, you should go to bed early." Xia Ruoming said softly, but she seemed to know that her words were useless, because the fragrant breeze behind her was getting closer and closer to her.
"Su He was here just now, so some things are not convenient to say. Rumeng must have encountered something when she went to visit the temple. I see that Rumeng has been uneasy the whole time." Xu Fengwu stood behind Xia Rumeng, gently pressed her shoulders, and asked softly.
"...I've already told you it's nothing, Fengwu, stop thinking about it." Xia Ruoming closed her eyes and sighed. Although there was something about Xu Fengwu, she had no intention of telling Xu Fengwu everything.
"Ruoming, I know it's hard for us to go back to the way we were before, but I've seen you in all your different forms. If you weren't worried, how could you become like this?" Xu Fengwu continued behind Xia Ruoming.
Xia Ruoming was a little surprised. She thought Xu Fengwu didn't care about her at all, but it turned out that Xu Fengwu knew a lot of things.
"Feng Wu..." Xia Ruoming then stood up from the chair, turned around and looked at Xu Fengwu. Her eyes, which were filled with melancholy, were still as bright as they had been in the past.
"Ruoming, if you have something to say, just say it. No matter what happens, I will be with you through it all, believe me, okay?" Xu Fengwu took Xia Ruoming's hand and spoke slowly.
Hearing Xu Fengwu's words, Xia Ruoming gave a few bitter smiles. This was originally about her. If they were to shoulder the responsibility together, then there was only one way out.
"When I bought you flowers that day, do you remember what flowers I gave you?"
"Sweet pea flower... its flower language is to start a new life, right?" He thought that when Xia Ruoming said this, she was going to completely push him away, but when Xu Fengwu looked into Xia Ruoming's eyes, there was no resolute emotion, but an emotion similar to something that was hard to let go and forget.
"Then why are you still..." Xia Ruoming herself didn't know why, but tears welled up in her eyes when she said this. She thought she was strong enough. She never shed tears when she was abandoned by Jiang Ruhua or when she was so poor that she could only eat discounted lunch boxes. "Xu Fengwu, I understand what you said to me under the moonlight that day. I also promised you that I would not disturb your life again."
"We could have moved far away from each other, why did you come back again?"
The moment Xia Ruoming's tears rolled down, Xu Fengwu's tears also burst out. Perhaps even Xu Fengwu herself didn't understand why she was so sad, but the moment she saw Xia Ruoming's "defense breaking", the uncomfortable feeling was far greater than that day when Xia Ruoming pushed her away in the rain.
"Ruoming, I'm really sorry. I made you sad for so many years." Xu Fengwu leaned on Xia Ruoming's shoulder and burst into tears. "I know that I really hurt you in the past, but I really can't leave you."
"You just... don't want to lose..." Xia Ruomeng's somewhat bitter voice came. She would rather believe that Xu Fengwu just didn't want to lose and was jealous of other people around her. She didn't want to believe that Xu Fengwu actually fell in love with her.
If she accepted this fact and believed An Jinrou's prophecy about the sun and the moon, she would really collapse.
She had just opened up to Ye Han not long ago, and An Jinrou told her a shocking fact: the sun and the moon were originally a pair, but because Liu Qingyun's daughter's destiny was too strong, she was unable to love Xu Fengwu.
What a joke, then what is the purpose of everything she has done so far?
"Ruoming, even now, I can find many reasons. But one day, I suddenly understood that the reason I lost you was not because Li Jing was playing tricks on me, nor because you did something wrong. It was just because I took your love for granted. All in all, I hurt you unintentionally."
"At first, I really just didn't want to lose. I saw you giving flowers to Xiao Qinghan, I saw you brave the rainstorm to save Chu Suhe, I saw Luo Qingxuan bravely confessing to you, I was really angry, I don't think I'm worse than them."
"But the longer time goes by, the more I miss you. I care about you not because I have a desire to win over them, nor because no one will care for me unconditionally anymore."
"I find that when you are not around, I feel so lonely and helpless..."
Xia Ruoming was willing to believe what Xu Fengwu said, because it was a simple matter for her to find an ATM by just snapping her fingers, and there were countless people who would be happy to do so for her. However, in his two entire lifetimes, Xu Fengwu had never done anything like this.
But, because she felt that what Xu Fengwu said was true, she felt even more scared, afraid that the stories An Jinrou told were true.
"Ruoming, when the manager of the fortune-telling shop told me that I could find you back with just a tarot card, I really thought about it."
"But I finally gave up. I wanted to impress you, Ruoming, with my feelings, just like you did that year. I also wanted to give you purple baby's breath and help you with my insignificant power."
"No matter what injuries you suffered back then, Ruoming, I want to be by your side and help you heal."
"Silly girl! You can obviously meet someone better, you can obviously have a better choice." Xia Ruoming hugged Xu Fengwu, who was crying in front of her, and tears fell down her cheeks.
You have gone too far, it’s okay to turn back now - An Jinrou's words rang in Xia Ruoming's ears again.
At that moment Xia Ruoming already knew what Xu Fengwu was talking about.
The sun, the power in An Jinrou's hand is far superior to the mortal world. As long as Xu Fengwu makes a small wish, what he wants will become reality, but she still rejected this power.
The most painful thing in the world is not that the white moonlight leaves you, but that the white moonlight suddenly turns back when you decide to let go of everything.
"The moonlight is so beautiful." Xu Fengwu said while choking in Xia Ruoming's arms.
“…”
"Yes, the wind is also very gentle." After a moment's silence, Xia Ruoming responded softly. She had just cried and her voice was not as good as before.
A drizzle of rain fell from the sky, wetting their hair and mixing with their tears.
"It turns out that rain water is not that salty..." Xu Fengwu laughed, although her smile was not much more beautiful than when she was crying.
Xia Ruoming stared at the moon in the sky. There were no dark clouds and the moon was still bright, but it was drizzling, just like her heart.
"Is the moon now the same moon as before? Even if it is, I am no longer the same person as before..." Xia Ruoming spoke slowly, with indescribable emotions mixed in, which only added to Xia Ruoming's troubles.
"The moon is the moon in my heart, and the person is still the person in my heart."
