"Bai Yun, long time no see."
The crowd around was noisy, but the woman's voice penetrated the crowd and reached Bai Yun's ears clearly.
Extremely clear.
The familiar voice spread from his ears to his heart, and his whole heart trembled slightly. Bai Yun's face became a little dazed, but he returned to his indifference the next second:
"Why are you here?"
"Why, aren't you happy to see me?"
The woman chuckled, but she didn't move forward and stayed three meters away from Bai Yun.
Just looking at him with a smile.
The smile on the woman's face matched the one in his memory, but Bai Yun didn't feel happy at all. His handsome face became gloomy, and there was a chill on his body. He didn't answer, but just looked at the woman coldly.
Yunxi.
She shouldn't and couldn't be here.
There was no way she would leave that place, let alone appear in front of him.
The people around only noticed Bai Yun, but they did not see the woman, or rather, the woman seemed to be non-existent in their eyes. They only saw Bai Yun holding two lanterns in his hands and a sword flying behind him.
There were at least ten beautiful lanterns on the sword.
Several women looked at him and whispered to each other.
They were discussing how he got so many lanterns.
There is also a custom during the Lantern Festival. Men do not hold lanterns, but women hold a lantern and can give it to the man they like. If the man takes the lantern, it means he is willing to spend the night with them.
But this man got more than a dozen lanterns by himself. Is he lucky to be favored by so many women, or...
"I think he must have bought the lanterns himself to save face."
"How can one person get so many lanterns? He is not the head of the Bai family."
"The Patriarch of the Bai family returned a few days ago, but he didn't go out tonight. If he had, I'm sure half of the women on this street would have given him their lanterns."
"Not only that, the women who had a crush on the Bai family's patriarch are now waiting outside the Bai family's gate, hoping to give him the lanterns."
The sound reached the ears of the two people, but Bai Yun pretended not to hear it.
The woman in green smiled gently.
The laughter was as clear and pleasant as a bell.
"I didn't expect you to be so popular after all these years."
She smiled and walked up to Bai Yun. Her beautiful eyes looked at him, and the smile in them deepened. "Bai Yun, don't you have anything to say to me after all these years?"
"There's nothing to talk about between us."
"Yunxi, we agreed that we would have nothing to do with each other.
Why are you here again now, and…” After a pause, Bai Yun’s cold gaze fell on the woman, “You even appeared here with a trace of spiritual consciousness.”
"Are you still angry?"
angry…?
Bai Yun smiled. What was there for him to be angry about?
After all these years, why is he still angry?
"I just came over to see you. After all, the time is almost up."
Seeing Bai Yun's sullen face and silence, the woman didn't care. Instead, she smiled and said, "Do you still remember the promise you made back then? Now that the time for fulfilling your promise is almost up, your body probably can't hold on any longer."
Bai Yun remained silent.
"It must have been tough breaking promises and being burned by them all these years."
"Bai Yun, come back, come back to me, I will be waiting for you."
The woman finished speaking without waiting for Bai Yun to answer.
She knew his character and there was no way he would answer.
Besides, she didn't have time. This was just a trace of her spiritual consciousness. It had already taken all her consciousness to come to Qingyou Country from that place to find Bai Yun, so she didn't say anything else and handed over the lantern in her hand.
The white little hand stretched out, and the green lantern was very beautiful.
This is her favorite color.
Bai Yun didn't want to answer.
He has nothing to do with this person anymore.
But looking at the white hands and the gentle smile on the woman's face, he took the lantern with a serious face.
The woman was startled for a moment, then smiled brightly.
"Bai Yun, I will wait for you to come back."
Looking at her slowly leaving figure, Bai Yun was a little angry and wanted to throw away the lantern, but his hands were clenched tightly. He just looked at her back with deep eyes as she completely disappeared in the crowd, while he just stood there.
Bai Yanyan and Gu Yunzhou walked along the moat to the end.
Then he came back from the city and played several games, such as guessing riddles, ring tossing... and won a lot of prizes.
certainly…
Bai Yanyan cheated in all the lantern riddle guessing games.
These riddles are quite difficult.
The test was on music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs... Of course, she was not proficient in any of them!
Are you kidding? She's just a salted fish. Have you ever seen a salted fish that's proficient in everything?!
Fortunately, Gu Yunzhou is by my side!
She acted coquettishly and called out "Brother Yunzhou" several times.
Let him put up an invisibility talisman and stand next to him to help him cheat.
The word "cheating" had never appeared in his dictionary, let alone helping others cheat. But looking at the woman's pleading eyes and the sweet voice of "Brother Yunzhou", Gu Yunzhou was really attracted by her.
Especially...
The bright smile on the woman's face after winning the competition.
A smile that was brighter and more beautiful than the fireworks blooming in the sky seemed to bloom in his heart, and the scenery before him suddenly became bright and cheerful.
Even later, without waiting for Bai Yanyan to speak.
Gu Yunzhou put on an invisibility talisman and told her the answer.
"Gu Yunzhou, how come you are so amazing? How come you know everything?"
Finally... Bai Yanyan held the pile of winnings in her hands, her face full of joy.
"Live long enough and you will understand."
"Live long? You sound like you're very old. Let me tell you, I've lived for several years..." Bai Yanyan swallowed the rest of the words back. She counted on her fingers before saying, "I'm already sixteen!"
She has lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
If this matter were to be made known to others, Gu Yunzhou might be scared to death.
Forget about the sister-brother relationship, she doesn't want to be so much older! So Bai Yanyan held her vest tightly.
"sixteen…"
Gu Yunzhou murmured, his eyes falling on her with a deeper look.
sixteen.
Now that she has reached the age of marriage, she can get married.
Bai Yanyan didn't know what Gu Yunzhou was thinking. Looking at the pile of things in her arms, she was thinking of looking somewhere else, but suddenly she saw a familiar figure standing on the street not far away.
He just stood there, holding a green lantern in his hand, with the Qingyuan Sword flying beside him. The poor little sword was carrying more than a dozen lanterns, densely packed together.
Bai Yanyan immediately ran over, "Daddy, why are you standing there like an idiot?"
Bai Yun restrained his expression when he heard Bai Yanyan's voice, revealing a hint of anger. He gently knocked Bai Yanyan's head, "Bai Yanyan, didn't I tell you to stay by my side? Where have you been?!"
Bai Yanyan:!!!
Good man, this is called the villain complaining first! !
