Chen Chong couldn't sleep, so he quietly went to the courtyard and sat down. Zhao Moyan, a veteran of many years of military campaigns, heard the noise outside immediately, but didn't get up, only listening intently. Chen Chong stared blankly at the moon, then glanced at Tian Yu's room. Tian Yu dozed off for a while, but still couldn't fall asleep. So much had happened that day; she had vividly experienced everything Xiao Tian had gone through in her dream. After thinking it over, she saw through the window that the moon was very bright tonight, so she got up, put on her clothes, and went to the courtyard. She saw Chen Chong sitting on the steps under the eaves, looking up at the moon. Tian Yu quietly walked up behind him, reached out and covered Chen Chong's eyes, saying, "Guess who I am?"
"Fairy Snail, why aren't you sleeping?" Chen Chong said, taking Tian Yu's hand in his.
“It’s pointless. You should pretend you don’t know and guess.” Tian Yu also sat down next to Chen Chong.
"Okay, then try again, and I'll guess again."
"It wouldn't be fun if we did it again. Why can't you sleep either?"
"Hmm! You didn't sleep either, were you very tired during the day? Why don't you go back to sleep?"
"Oh well, I really want to sleep too, but I know there's someone else who can't sleep and is waiting for his fairy godmother under the moon."
Chen Chong just smiled indulgently without saying anything. Seeing that he smiled, Tian Yu continued, "Don't you have any questions for me about what happened during the day?"
"No, I know you'll handle it."
"Well, okay, but aren't you worried?"
"I'm worried! That's why I can't sleep."
"Then why didn't you ask me?"
"I want to ask you, but I don't know how."
"Now I'll give you a chance, ask!"
Chen Chong looked at Tian Yu and asked seriously, "He's back. Will you go with him?"
"Won't!"
"Tangyuan is leaving with him, aren't you leaving too?"
“I won’t leave. Tangyuan is Tangyuan, and I am me. I may be reluctant to let him go, but if this is his own choice, I will not force him to stay. Sooner or later he will leave me and live his own life, while I have my own life to live and will not change for anyone.”
"If I were to leave this place, would you be willing to come with me?"
"Huh!? I don't know why you want to leave here, but you have to marry me first, so we can be a harmonious couple!"
“But you and Zhao Moyan were married, and you have Tangyuan, while I have nothing.”
“You’re not completely alone; you have me! Besides, he never liked this marriage before, and now that our status is different, he cares even less about it. To both of us, this marriage was a mistake. Maybe he’s been having multiple wives and concubines all these years. What am I to him?”
Don't say that. To me, you're the best!
"You are the best to me too."
Tian Yu's answer temporarily put Chen Chong's mind at ease. They smiled at each other and looked up at the moon. Tian Yu felt she could reach out and touch it, and she actually reached out to grab it. Chen Chong also reached out, but he grabbed Tian Yu's hand instead. Tian Yu said, "Are you feeling better now?"
"It's much better, but it would be even better if someone could sing a song for me."
"You want to hear a song? I tell Tangyuan stories every night and then sing to you. It's really tiring. How about you sing me a song tonight?"
"Me! I can't sing, and I don't sing well. I'll wake everyone else up. You sing, and I'll listen."
"Okay, let me think, what should I sing?"
"You sound good no matter what you sing."
Zhao Moyan, initially listening to their conversation with his eyes closed, opened them in the end, even more confused. Was this really the Xiao Tian he knew? Tian Yu smiled at Chen Chong, then looked up at the moon and softly hummed:
After the storm
There may not be a beautiful sky.
Rainbows don't always appear when the sky is clear.
So you look completely innocent.
It doesn't mean you're ignorant.
Not all relationships have a beginning and an end.
The end of loneliness is not necessarily filled with fear.
But life is inevitable.
The initial pain
May your eyes only see smiles.
May you shed every tear
They are all touching.
May every dream you have from now on...
It won't all be for nothing.
Heaven and Earth
If it is truly worth praising
It's also because of you
That's when it becomes noisy.
The world is vast.
The world is more hazy than you imagine.
I couldn't bear to coax him anymore.
I hope you understand.
After the storm
...
Hopefully you'll understand where to go from here.
Zhao Moyan could hear Tian Yu and Chen Chong chatting clearly from his bed. Hearing Tian Yu singing, he finally became a little unsettled and sat up in bed. However, his good manners told him that he and Tian Yu were already divorced, and it was her freedom to be with whomever she wanted. He shouldn't disturb her. Controlling his emotions, he lay back down in bed, closed his eyes, and listened quietly to Tian Yu's singing. But he couldn't fall asleep. He wanted to stop listening, but he couldn't help but keep his ears open.
After the song ended quietly outside, there was no sound. Zhao Moyan had been paying attention to the sounds outside, but there was no sound. He sat up again, wanting to go out and take a look, but as soon as he put on his shoes, he thought, "Why am I doing this? Why do I care? This Tian Yu is so suspicious. She could very well be a spy sent by the enemy, and she's just pretending." Thinking this, Zhao Moyan nodded and lay down again, but as soon as he lay down, he felt something was wrong. If she was a spy, why was she with that hunter? What was going on? He heard the rustling sound of clothes being taken off outside. Zhao Moyan suddenly felt a little irritated. By the time he realized what was happening, the person had already opened the door and was standing outside.
The sound of the door opening disturbed Chen Chong. Turning around, he looked at Zhao Moyan, and the two locked eyes in an indescribable atmosphere. Tian Yu was already asleep, leaning on Chen Chong's shoulder. Zhao Moyan immediately noticed that Chen Chong's coat was covering Tian Yu, which was so glaring. Without saying a word, he stepped forward to remove the coat from Tian Yu, but Chen Chong grabbed his outstretched hand, and the two glared at each other.
