Chapter 539 Extra Chapter: Nothingness Left (Twenty-Seven)
Liao Wu watched him quietly for a long time, until Lu Peiran's face gradually turned pale.
"Junior brother, let us part ways here!"
A sharp pain flashed across Lu Peiran's face. "Senior brother, I was wrong. I was lying last night..."
Liao Wu sighed, "Junior brother, we both know that you have never been... a person who likes to talk nonsense..."
Lu Peiran gave a miserable laugh. "Senior brother, can't you just pretend that nothing happened last night?"
She lowered her eyes, concealing the pain within them, and said, "What has happened can never be erased."
Junior brother, I really have no way of judging the complexities involved in this matter.
There's no way... so we have to pretend it never happened, therefore..."
Lu Peiran gave a weak laugh. Indeed, even at this point, he was still thinking of pretending nothing had happened.
How could my senior brother not care?!
He has practiced Buddhism diligently since childhood, and is detached from worldly desires. I suppose he must find him disgusting...
If he continues to pester his senior brother, then his senior brother's feelings towards him will...
Thinking of this, Lu Peiran felt so much pain that she could barely stand, so she lost all will to argue.
I no longer have the courage to stay by my senior's side...
"Okay... Senior brother, it's all my fault. I'm sorry. Let's... say goodbye here..."
Hearing Lu Peiran's words, he took two heavy breaths and said, "Okay!"
"Junior brother, I have prepared your horse and provisions. You may set off immediately!"
Lu Peiran's lips moved weakly a few times, and he said with a bitter smile, "Senior brother, you've only had such a short time, and you still..."
Never mind, senior brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!
I just don't know... about our future...
Is there ever a chance to meet again...?
Liao Wu didn't dare to look at his face, afraid that if she looked at him a few more times, she would lose control of her emotions.
If he loses control, then he will...
Therefore, Liao Wu simply lowered his head and nodded gently, "Yes, when the time comes, I will come to see you..."
Lu Peiran gave a bitter laugh. At this point, he even felt a little pathetic.
I've actually started to look forward to the day when he comes to see me...
Lu Peiran's eyes were full of anticipation and reluctance, "Then... when is it?"
Senior brother... could you... could you tell me more specifically, so I can...
Liao Wu took a deep breath. "Everything is preordained by fate. Our reunion is not something I can decide."
So, junior brother, wait for me!
We'll both know when we're able to meet.
Lu Peiran gave a wry smile, "So that's how it is..."
Despite having said all that, Lu Peiran's legs remained firmly planted in place, not moving an inch.
He stared intently at Liao Wu, as if trying to etch this person into the depths of his soul.
Being stared at like that by Lu Peiran, Liao Wu felt his heart tremble, the impulse within him surged stronger and stronger, and the veins on his hands bulged even more...
Just as he was about to reciprocate Lu Peiran's intense emotions, the note in his palm seemed to catch fire, scorching his hand and burning away all his desires...
Liao Wu's hand twitched involuntarily twice, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Junior brother... it's getting late..."
Lu Peiran's eyes twitched painfully at his urging, and he turned away unwillingly.
Just when Liao Wu thought he could finally look up and get a good look at his back, Lu Pei Ran hurriedly turned back.
"Senior brother! Promise me! You must come and see me one last time before I die!"
Liao Wu pursed his lips slightly. "I will definitely come to find you!"
Lu Peiran's eyes were red, and he took out the jade ring from his heart. "This jade ring is my witness!"
Today, you and I make a vow that we must meet again before we both die!
Senior brother, did you hear that?!
With trembling lips, he couldn't speak. He just swayed his body and then stepped forward to take Lu Peiran's hand holding the jade.
"I heard you! Junior brother, wait for me!"
Lu Peiran couldn't help but grasp Liao Wu's hand in return, as if to remember all the warmth of this person, and held his hand to her heart.
Then, he ignored all those damned rules and pulled the person he cared about most in his life into his arms.
She felt no resistance to his trembling embrace, as if she were resisting a tremendous force, and gently returned his embrace.
Sensing no response, Lu Peiran's eyes lit up for a moment, then deepened with even greater sorrow.
The two embraced tightly, and in that moment, they forgot all the rules and doctrines.
Yes, it's just the two of them...
After a while, Lu Peiran released his hand, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
It was at this moment that Liao Wucai had the courage to look deeply into his back.
Until that tall figure rode away on horseback and disappeared from sight, he collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
The note that had been clutched in my palm all day finally floated to the ground...
"If they unite, both will be harmed, cursed by thousands, and never to meet again in all future lives."
"If we part ways, may we each find our own peace, awaiting the opportunities of future lives, so that we may never be separated again in all lifetimes."
Junior brother, we'll meet again...
Perhaps, we cannot be together in this life.
But I will find that opportunity so that we will never be apart again...
