The snow valley was desolate. Several fierce snow wolves devoured the rabbit, leaving not a single fur behind, and then left as if they were still not satisfied.
"Damn it, I survived falling off a cliff, but I was bullied by a few wolves."
Xu Shixun pounded the snow, and the fat on his face could no longer jiggle—because he had lost weight.
Compared to his impatience, Xie Lingqin was completely calm.
"I told you I'd give you another rabbit, what's the rush?"
Xie Lingqin glanced at him sideways, and as she spoke, she took out the sweet potato from her bosom and handed it to him, saying, "Eat it."
"No."
Xu Shixun shook his head, "This sweet potato was originally found for you. Now that the rabbit is gone, I can't eat it either."
Xu Shixun spoke very firmly.
Xie Lingqin's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the boy's unwavering posture, and the fingertips holding the sweet potato tightened slightly involuntarily.
The wind blew across the snow, bringing a chill that made her cough heavily.
"Why would you rather go hungry yourself than give me all the food?"
Xie Lingqin coughed softly and asked.
Even now, with her face covered in bruises, her translucent skin and eyes that held the vast brilliance of the stars were still like a painting, captivating all who looked at her.
Xu Shixun looked at it for a while, then awkwardly turned his head away, nervously tugging at his sleeve. "I don't know either. I was just thinking that if you died, I would be very lonely. If we really can't get out, then I'll be very lonely living here alone."
“I remember you used to hate me.”
Xie Lingqin sighed softly and looked away.
This snow valley is extremely wide and boundless, yet it is devoid of sunlight, just like her heart.
“That was before, but later, I just felt that you were different, Sister Lingqin. Anyway, I just felt that you couldn’t die. If you really had to die, I would die with you.”
Xu Shixun said that although his lips were white from the cold and the tip of his nose was red, his eyes, which looked small because of his chubby face, showed an unwavering determination that Feng Yun could not shake off.
"I never imagined that in the end, the person willing to die with me would be you. Life is truly unpredictable."
Xie Lingqin suddenly smiled.
Desolate, lonely, bleak, without sunlight, the air is like snow.
Help me up.
"A moment later," Xie Lingqin said.
Xu Shixun immediately stepped forward.
"Never mind, I don't think I can walk. You can carry me."
"back?"
Xu Shixun looked at Xie Lingqin and felt uneasy again.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he seemed to be developing a little slower. Xie Danling was already taller than him, while Xu Shixun, who was the same age as him, was about the same height.
"Don't worry, I won't force you to marry me." Xie Lingqin shook her head, her tone teasing. "I really can't walk anymore."
"No, it's not that, it's..."
Xu Shixun quickly turned his back, squatted down, and gestured for Xie Lingqin to come up.
The redness spread from her ears to her neck, and in this snowy, cold weather, it was surprisingly red.
Xie Lingqin looked on, feeling much better. "The young master of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion is becoming more and more shy these days."
"No, no, there isn't..."
Xu Shixun carried Xie Lingqin on his back and headed towards the cave they had just been in.
"I remember that day, I was burned and fell off that trap. It was Old Dong who saved me. He carried me on his back like this. At that time, he seemed to be in poor health, which makes sense..."
Xie Lingqin's eyes were glazed over, as if she were recalling something or sighing, "He's already getting old, and at this time, I really miss him. Speaking of which, he's a rich man, I suppose."
Xu Shixun...
"My family is also wealthy."
"I'm richer."
Xie Lingqin said.
All right!
Xu Shixun lowered his head and remained silent.
As soon as I entered the cave, the chill seemed to subside a bit.
Xie Lingqin handed over the sweet potato again, "Eat this. If you die before me, I'll be very lonely. And... you have to believe me, I said I would give you a rabbit, and I will."
Xu Shixun looked at the sweet potato, which was actually not big, only about the size of his palm. He had even scratched his fingertips until they bled while searching for it.
But this is the only food available right now.
"good."
Xu Shixun took it and went outside, saying, "I'll eat while I go look for it again."
The boy ran out again as he spoke.
"What an idiot."
Xie Lingqin smiled wryly. Xu Shixun ran fast, but she had already seen through his action of hiding the sweet potato in his sleeve.
Yuwen Yao, a boy who once regarded me as an enemy can now treat me so well and is even willing to die with me. You loved me so much back then, how could you bear to hurt me like this?
"Cough cough..."
Xie Lingqin coughed lightly, covering her mouth. A faint red light flashed in her eyes; she had fallen asleep again.
What an idiot!
Xu Shixun, who had run out of the cave and then stopped, glanced into the cave and, despite the difficult and unknown situation, a big smile appeared on his face.
Why did he find those words so pleasant to hear?
...
This snow valley is truly cold, even colder than up there, and snow is falling from time to time.
"Do you really think Xie Lingqin is still alive?"
Yuwen Qingyue looked at Li Qingyu with suspicion.
"I don't just think, I'm sure."
Li Qingyu expressed her hatred almost through gritted teeth.
"Why?"
"I've inquired about it. You know Xu Yiran, right? He's the master of the Heavenly Mystery Hall. He loved Xie Lingqin so much, so why didn't he commit suicide with her? And the Crown Prince, does he really not love Xie Lingqin? Do you believe it now?"
That's a lot...
