A plum blossom fell to the snow in the wind, making the white snow all the more tiny. He stood under the tree, his figure appearing even more frail.
Feng Guang withdrew her gaze from him and asked coolly, "Can't you go outside and take a look?"
“Just as Fengguang is confined to Black Wind Mountain, I cannot leave this immortal sect.” He said, “The world changes so much, a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye, and there is no one waiting for me anymore.”
Feng Guang was not affected by his dejection. She suddenly asked, "Do you know how many plum blossoms have bloomed on this plum tree?"
“Thirty-seven.” He smiled. “Including the one that fell to the ground, it’s thirty-eight. Why?”
"No... I just somewhat believe what you said about you being lonely." When people are lonely, they can't help but find something to do. For example, half an hour after arriving here, she stared at this plum tree and counted the blossoms no less than ten times.
"Does Feng Guang suddenly feel a little sorry for me?" He raised an eyebrow, exuding an indescribable charm and elegance. "Sympathy is the beginning of love. It seems I still have a chance to replace Mo Qing."
"Nonsense." She glanced at him and said calmly, "I will stay here and wait for Mo Qing to come find me."
Even if we have to wait another three hundred years?
Even if we have to wait another three hundred years.
"Perhaps you'll forget about him by then."
“It doesn’t matter. As long as I remember, I’m waiting for someone named Mo Qing.” She looked at the bustling street scene in Linglong Pond, with old people and children, and men and women walking together. She suddenly smiled. “It doesn’t matter if I forget everything. I will remember Mo Qing. I will remember this man. He is the one I want to love.”
Qiu Shi's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single syllable. He seemed to have given up on saying anything, and just quietly looked at her. His hands at his sides unconsciously clenched into fists, his nails digging into his palms as if they were about to bleed. However, he didn't bleed.
He stood with her for a long, long time. As dawn was about to break, he said softly, "I should go now."
Without even looking up, she said, "Goodbye, don't bother seeing me off."
"Oh dear, Fengguang didn't even say goodbye, which really makes me sad."
"Then go and be sad by yourself."
He smiled, then suddenly raised his hand and ruffled her hair. Before she could slap his hand away, he had already withdrawn it. "I'll come see you again tomorrow."
“No need.” She glared at him.
He bent down slightly, getting closer to her face so he could better appreciate her vivid expressions. He smiled and said, "I don't need the scenery, but I do. I know that without me by your side, you would definitely transform this Linglong Pond into a dream world that a child would love."
"I won't..."
He lowered his head again and gently kissed her lips.
All the words she was about to say came to an abrupt halt.
Before she could react, he had already disappeared into the vast white expanse with a smile.
A moment later, standing alone in the snow, the girl stamped her feet and shouted, "Qiu Shi! I'll definitely kill you next time I see you!"
Unfortunately, Qiu Shi could no longer hear those vicious words.
Feng Guang sat down against the plum tree, still angry. The moon set and the sun rose, marking the start of a new day. Just as she couldn't feel the cold, she also couldn't feel the warmth of the sun. She remembered Qiu Shi's words that he would come to find her again today, and she was determined to repay him properly!
Although she didn't actually have any way to hurt anyone...
