When Qingyao first saw Yun Ao, she felt her heartbeat suddenly accelerate, as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart. His every move, every frown and smile were like a painting outlined by the warm spring sun, deeply imprinted in her eyes.
The heartbeat at that moment was like a spark that set the whole field on fire, making her sink into it and unable to see any other scenery.
As for Yun Ao, at first he just thought Qingyao was an ignorant girl, who acted naively and childishly, with her head full of childish questions. Those childish thoughts and clumsy behavior made him feel annoyed, and he just wanted to stay away from her.
So, relying on his outstanding skills, he cleverly avoided Qingyao's entanglement many times.
However, what he didn't expect was that Qingyao, who had learned the tracking technique from somewhere, could always appear beside him like a shadow.
Unable to stop being pestered, Yun Ao had to compromise and began to teach Qingyao various skills.
At first, he was just perfunctory, but gradually, he discovered that Qingyao had an amazing talent. Whether it was an obscure spell formula or a complex and varied spell, Qingyao could always quickly grasp the essence of it and draw inferences from it, deducing new changes.
This made Yun Ao look at her with admiration, and the impatience in his eyes was gradually replaced by admiration.
As time slowly passed, the two spent more and more time together, and Yun Ao was unknowingly attracted by Qingyao's optimism and tenacity.
Her smile was like the warm spring sunshine, dispelling the long-standing loneliness and coldness in his heart; her persistence and enthusiasm were like a dancing flame, slowly melting the cold fortress in his heart.
But Yun Ao is well aware of his identity. As a rare golden dragon, he shoulders the responsibility of leading the dragon clan into the future.
According to clan rules, his spouse must possess strong strength and a matching family background in order to stand shoulder to shoulder with him and jointly protect the glory and dignity of the dragon clan.
This emotion, like a seedling suppressed by a huge rock, struggled to grow between reason and emotion, causing him to fall into unprecedented entanglement and struggle.
Yun Ao's love is like a deep and quiet night sea. It appears calm on the surface, but in fact there are undercurrents surging, so deep that not a trace of light can be seen.
He carefully hid his inner feelings. Every time he looked at Qingyao, the fleeting tenderness in his eyes was quickly covered up by him, as if those emotions were taboos that could not be seen in the light.
The 30,000-year age gap has allowed him to witness the vicissitudes of time and understand the heavy shackles of fate.
Faced with Qingyao's unreserved enthusiasm and dependence, his heart was touched, but he was also tightly bound by family responsibilities.
And Qingyao's love is like the blazing sun, pure and bright.
She entered the realm of love ignorantly, relying solely on her inner feelings, and clung to Yun Ao like a persistent little beast.
Her world is simple and direct. When she likes someone, her heart and eyes are filled with him. She shows her affection and intimacy without hesitation and embraces this unknown love with the most sincere emotions.
During the time they were together, Yun Ao's heart was turbulent, but he was always struggling between reason and emotion.
Finally, when Qingyao had achieved success in her studies and began to shine, Yun Ao chose to leave quietly. He cut off the love that should not have existed and took on the mission entrusted to him by his family alone, leaving this unclear love in the dust of time.
Qingyao was left alone there, at a loss and confused in the face of the suddenly disappearing figure. At first, she thought it was just a joke and Yun Ao would suddenly appear when she least expected it, just like before.
However, as time passed, the silence around her surged like a tide, surrounding her tightly, and she had to accept the fact that Yun Ao had really left.
In an instant, sadness surged through her heart like a flood that broke through a dam. Her eyes were instantly filled with tears. Those crystal clear water droplets rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably, dripping onto the cold ground, splashing tiny tears, just like her broken heart.
Her body trembled slightly, and her hands tightly clutched the clothes on her chest, as if this could ease the heart-wrenching pain. This was the first time Qingyao understood love. It turned out that losing was more heartbreaking than gaining.
"Why, why do you want to leave..." For the first time, Qingyao didn't understand why he wanted to leave her. The scenes of her past time with Yun Ao kept flashing in her mind like a kaleidoscope. His smile, his teachings, the concern he occasionally showed... Every scene was like a sharp blade, deeply hurting her heart.
Anger and resentment were quietly growing in her heart. She didn't understand why Yun Ao had disappeared without a trace. Was everything they had experienced in the past just her wishful thinking? Strong emotions drove her to find Yun Ao and ask for answers.
So, she desperately chased in the direction where Yun Ao might go, the wind whistling in her ears and her hair flying in disarray. However, in the vast sky and earth, there was no trace of Yun Ao. Qingyao and Yun Ao were separated for the first time.
The second time Qingyao saw Yun Ao was when she was injured and turned back into her original form, and was caught by humans and taken away to be sold. In that bustling market, the seriously injured Qingyao, the fox, cowered timidly in the corner of the cage and licked her wounds. Every touch caused a piercing pain in the wound, but she did not dare to make too much noise and could only endure the fear and pain silently.
People around her came and went, either turning a blind eye to her miserable situation or casting indifferent glances at her. The occasional laughter and play of a few children sounded like the echo of a nightmare to her.
Just as the shiny skinning knife was about to fall, a black shadow rushed over like lightning.
