Jiangnan
Murong Yu arrived in Jiangnan in two days and found Mu Qing sitting on the ground in the reeds by the river.
The boy sat quietly on the grass, becoming one with the world.
Behind him were tall reeds, and a gentle breeze lifted his cascading black hair, which flew in the wind. The fresh air was moist, and the warm sunshine of early spring cast its warmth.
It is a scene of movement within stillness, and stillness within movement; it is as beautiful as a painting, and Murong Yu could not take his eyes off it once he looked at it.
As the footsteps drew closer, Mu Qing slowly opened his eyes, looked at the tall figure walking towards him, and said with a smile, "Ayu, you're back."
Mu Qing: "You're back just in time. I had an appointment to meet someone today. Come with me."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yu nodded and said, "Alright."
Mu Qing stood up and walked with Murong Yu to the pavilion on the opposite bank of the Jiangnan River, near the Funing Restaurant.
The two sat in the pavilion, their gazes fixed on the distant river where the water met the sky, its surface shimmering in the sunlight.
Murong Yu recounted in detail to Mu Qing what had happened when he returned to the capital and met Murong Zhi.
Mu Qing looked at him with a smile, listened attentively, and nodded from time to time.
Meanwhile, Bai Pianxian and Chen Qingsong also arrived near the Funing Restaurant.
A few days ago, the two of them received a letter at the same time, inviting them to meet at a pavilion by the river in Jiangnan this morning.
The inscription reads: "Entrusted by an old friend."
After receiving the letter, the two discussed it together and finally decided to come and see it together today.
As the two approached the pavilion, they saw two figures sitting inside.
One was dressed in black, tall and handsome, with a powerful aura; the other was dressed in white, exceptionally handsome, with a gentle temperament.
Seeing the two approach, Mu Qing poured two cups of tea, pushed them to the opposite side, and said gently, "Please sit down."
Chen Qingsong calmly led Bai Pianxian to sit opposite the two of them.
Bai Pianxian was a little reserved and leaned closer to Chen Qingsong.
Upon seeing this, Chen Qingsong curved his lips into a smile, which deepened.
Mu Qing looked up at the two of them, a turquoise gleam in her eyes.
They saw that Bai Pianxian was the reincarnation of the original owner's mother, Bai Mu.
More than 20 years ago, when she was still an infant, she was found by Grandpa Bai, who was returning from an outing, in the grass at the entrance of Jiangnan City.
After picking her up, Grandpa Bai felt a connection with her and adopted her as his daughter, raising her for eighteen years.
What Grandpa Bai didn't know was that his act of kindness back then had brought about a father-daughter bond that spanned two lifetimes.
In his later years, when Grandpa Bai was not in his right mind, he would often mistake the young Bai Pianxian for the girl Bai Qianqian from back then. Bai Pianxian was not annoyed and continued to take meticulous care of Grandpa Bai.
She stayed by his side every day, telling him interesting stories she had encountered. Grandpa Bai passed away at the age of eighty-eight, when Bai Pianxian had just turned eighteen.
After Mr. Bai passed away, Bai Pianxian wore plain clothes and ate vegetarian food to observe three years of mourning. She just finished the mourning period at the end of last year and is now twenty-one years old.
Mu Qing looked at the girl in front of him who resembled the original owner of the body in her memories. She didn't have the aloofness and coldness of the girl in her memories. Instead, she exuded a lively and innocent charm that showed no signs of being naive. A smile appeared in her eyes.
She thought to herself, "Mother Bai's wish to accompany Old Master Bai and care for him until his death has finally been fulfilled after a lifetime."
Mu Qing's gaze swept over the two of them, revealing their past and present lives. Chen Qingsong had pursued Bai Mu through seven lifetimes, finally waiting for her to pause and turn her head in this life, thus obtaining a love stronger than gold in this lifetime.
Looking at the red thread tightly intertwined on their hands, one can tell that the two are destined to be loving and devoted to each other throughout their lives. However, judging from their appearances, they have little affinity with having children and may face difficulties in conceiving.
