"It's not like we won't see each other again."
Her eyebrows were curved, which made her look very cute and beautiful.
Even if he couldn't see, he could still feel the gentle aura from her.
With his eyes closed, the man lowered his head and approached her, holding her tightly in his arms.
Pei Xiqing lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while.
——
In the blink of an eye, it was time for them to leave.
Ma Mengxiang excitedly carried bags and moved her things onto the plane.
Five oversized suitcases.
It's full of vegetables she grows.
There are also various harvest seeds.
They even brought several baskets of chicken, duck, fish and meat.
Shadow helped get the chickens and ducks up there. The members of the flying group couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Shadow, these chickens and ducks taste pretty good, don't they? Are you bringing them up here for us to eat? Can we have some meat?"
Before Shadow could speak, Ma Mengxiang spoke first: "Yes! I guarantee it!"
She patted her chest and said, "When they give birth, everyone will be able to eat. We can eat meat and vegetables to our heart's content!"
"Then we can look forward to it."
"Don't worry! Give them to me! I know how to take care of them. Not a single one will die."
After moving a lot of things back and forth and being busy for a while, I finally managed to get all the necessary things onto the spaceship.
Ma Mengxiang panted: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yingzi."
Shadow nodded: "It's not hard."
She couldn't help but look back, peeking into the base's tunnels. "Why haven't they arrived yet? Xiqing and Brother Duan, they should be almost done packing by now. Is it because they have too much stuff? Should we go over and help?"
Shadow said yes.
Ma Mengxiang and he quickly went to where they lived.
But he found that only Pei Xiqing was sitting on the chair with the child in her arms.
Ma Mengxiang asked, "Hey, where's Brother Duan?"
She teased the child: "Little Ruirui, we are leaving soon. Are you happy? If you are happy, smile."
The child was indeed amused.
Pei Xiqing touched Ruirui's face and smiled too.
Ma Mengxiang asked, "Why are you alone?"
"Brother Duan has something to do, so I'm leaving."
"What?"
Pei Xiqing looked up: "He's gone."
Ma Mengxiang was a little slow to react.
"What...left?"
"He left first, saying that he was needed to take care of some matters in Farranlon. He will meet us at the base later."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go too. Have you packed your things?"
She looked behind Pei Xiqing.
The house was tidy.
She packed her things but didn't start to organize them.
Ma Mengxiang hurried over to help: "Time is running out, let me help you."
Pei Xiqing stood behind them, holding the child. After a few seconds, she spoke softly, "You two should go to the base and bring the child over to Long Yan. I'm going with Brother Duan."
Ma Mengxiang turned around: "What?! You are not kidding!"
"No." She shook her head. "I'm serious. He needs me now. I have to go. I can't let him bear all the responsibilities alone."
Ma Mengxiang didn't understand at all.
"What the hell is this..."
Shadow took the child from her arms on his own initiative.
He said, "Go ahead."
Pei Xiqing looked into his eyes under the mask and said, "Take good care of Mengxiang. Make sure you arrive at the base safely."
There was a deep reluctance in Shadow's eyes. His emotions were as calm as his presiding judge, rarely showing drastic ups and downs. But this time, when he looked at Pei Xiqing, he showed deep emotion for the first time.
"Ms. Pei, please protect yourself too."
"good."
Pei Xiqing brought nothing with her.
She only took one last look at the child and couldn't help but kissed his cheek. When she was about to leave, the little boy subconsciously held her fingers.
Pei Xiqing smiled and said, "Little Ruirui, grow up well."
Then he looked at Ma Mengxiang and Yingzi and said, "Have a safe trip."
After saying that, she left the base without stopping.
Ma Mengxiang didn't know why, but tears fell down as she looked at her back.
I couldn't help it.
Shadow held the child in one hand and handed her a piece of paper.
Ma Mengxiang sobbed, "Why do I have a bad feeling... She's been with me for so long. If it weren't for Xiqing's words, I would have collapsed long ago. If she hadn't asked you to send that dagger, none of us villagers would be alive today. Everyone thinks I volunteered to stay at the base with her, to keep her and Brother Duan here, but in fact, she is the one who has truly been with me for so long."
"Everything will be fine." Shadow hugged the child tightly and took her hand: "Let's go."
Ma Mengxiang was stunned and looked at them holding hands.
She took a deep breath and followed the shadow's steps.
"I will be stronger than before. I will take good care of Ruirui for her, and I will also lead everyone in the base to farm well."
"If you need me anywhere, just tell me and I'll help."
"That's what you said." Ma Mengxiang smiled.
"Of course I will. I mean what I say."
"But is it really okay for Xiqing to go out like this?"
"She's with Brother Duan, nothing will happen to her."
"But Brother Duan has been gone for a long time. Can she still catch up with him now? Will he encounter any danger?"
"No."
Pei Xiqing rushed out of the base elevator and ran outside.
The wind and snow outside were extremely strong, completely affecting and restricting her movements.
Even with her coat she couldn't keep out the cold for long.
The world is still dark.
Accompanied by strong winds and heavy snow.
Her vision was blurred and she couldn't see anything clearly.
I was about to lose my way in the wind and snow.
Pushing aside the thick snow in front of her, she grasped a dry branch beside her, feeling a little unsustainable. The whistling sound of the wind in her ears was like the roar of a devil, and the heavy snow was like a deadly blade, constantly tearing her body apart.
He raised his eyes with difficulty, and a man slowly appeared in his field of vision swallowed by the wind and snow.
The man was wearing a military coat, and the wide cape blocked most of the wind and snow. His face was handsome and gentle under the brim of his hat.
The lenses were a little foggy, but it didn't affect his vision.
He lowered his head slightly and held out his palm to her: "You are here."
Pei Xiqing squeezed it hard, his voice trembling a little, but he never backed down.
"I am coming."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
No matter how strong the wind and snow are, they can't stop us from getting closer to each other.
"I know."
