The next moment, the man slowly turned into ashes and drifted away into the distance with the night wind.
Yanlu stared blankly at this scene.
The girl turned around, and Yanluo followed her into the old house. They went into a room on the first floor, where Yanluo saw several of her friends who had fainted.
The boy ran anxiously to his friends.
"Little Pig, Ah Yang, Chu Chu, Ah Qing!"
The girl looked at the boy's anxious expression.
"They're fine, they just fainted."
Yanluo felt unusually at ease listening to the girl's cold voice.
"Who are you? Why are you in our village?"
"My name is Fifth Spring and Autumn, and I came here specifically to find you."
Yanluo's first encounter with the Fifth Spring and Autumn marked the beginning of her extraordinary life.
What happened next is quite clear.
Wu Chunqiu, who became Yanluo's master, stayed at Yanluo's house until Yanluo finished his middle school entrance exam, and then took him away from his hometown.
Yanluo also dreamed of the time she spent cultivating with her master and the scenes of fighting alongside her teammates from the Lone Beast.
And, that mission to the Western Regions led to the destruction of the Lone Beast.
This startled Yanluo awake.
Cold sweat almost soaked his back as he sat up from Tu Luoxue's lap, panting heavily.
When he came to his senses, he found that the four girls were looking at him with worried expressions.
Tu Luoxue gently grasped Yan Luo's large, warm hand.
Did you have a nightmare?
Yanlu forced a smile.
"Is it comfortable to soak in the hot spring?"
Seeing that Yanluo didn't want everyone to focus too much on his dream, Tu Luoxue changed the subject, following Yanluo's lead.
"It's very comfortable. You should go to the bar after dinner."
The young man nodded, feeling a bit dry in his throat, and remembered that there was a vending machine at the entrance of the guesthouse.
"Is there anything you'd like to drink?"
"There's a vending machine by the door, I'll go buy some drinks."
After the girls finished telling her what drinks they wanted, Yanluo stood up and walked heavily toward the front yard.
Tu Keke looked at Yan Luo's somewhat lonely figure, her blue eyes filled with barely suppressed worry.
"What exactly did my uncle dream about?"
Yanluo was talking in her sleep, repeatedly saying "no" and "I'm sorry".
The girls fell silent for a moment.
A short while later, the young man returned carrying several bottles of drinks.
Seeing the worry on the girls' faces, he smiled gently.
"What's wrong?"
"I just had a nightmare, didn't I?"
Tu Luoxue accepted the drink that Yan Luo handed her.
"I also have nightmares from time to time."
The group stopped dwelling on the topic and started talking about the hot springs at the guesthouse.
Tu Keke moved closer to Yan Luo, looking at him with a grin.
"Uncle, want to soak with us?"
Yan Luo decisively refused.
"I don't want to soak in a hot spring with an airport."
Start at zero frames!!
Get right up close and unleash your ultimate attack!!!
The little golden retriever suddenly sprang into action, grabbing Yanluo with a powerful chokehold.
Tu Luoxue and the other two women laughed heartily.
Dinner was prepared by a professional chef, and everyone sat around a room on the first floor enjoying the delicious food.
Wen Shuxian also sat down at Su Qing's invitation.
In just one afternoon, the female boss and the kitten October got along very well.
In October, I even ate dinner next to Wen Shuxian.
It's clear he likes her quite a bit.
After dinner, Yanluo and Suqing went for a walk hand in hand to digest their food.
The nights in the mountains were quite cold, but Su Qing didn't feel cold at all because Yan Luo had created an invisible windbreak around them.
Su Qing felt that it had been a while since she had taken a walk with Yan Luo like this.
This made the girl grip the young man's hand even tighter.
Sensing Su Qing's strength, Yan Luo turned her head to look at her.
"What's wrong, honey?"
Su Qing was taken aback, then quickly shook her head.
"It's nothing, it's just that it feels like it's been a long time since we've taken a walk alone like this."
Yanluo stopped and embraced Su Qing.
"It's my fault."
Su Qing wrapped her arms around Yan Luo's waist.
"It's not your fault, Ayan did nothing wrong."
Yanluo rested her chin on Su Qing's shoulder, leaning weakly against him.
"Ayan, what's wrong?"
Ever since waking up from her afternoon nap, fragments of the past have been flashing through Yanluo's mind.
The good times of the past, the pain of the past.
Yanluo hugged Su Qing tightly.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about the past."
Su Qing has always been concerned about the past, wondering what happened to Yan Luo after she left the village at the age of fifteen.
His eyes no longer held the sparkle they had in his youth; instead, they held an unfathomable depth and loneliness.
"Ayan, tell me, what happened after you left? Please tell me."
Su Qing's voice was almost pleading.
Yanluo led her to a place to sit down and put her arms around Su Qing.
"The story is a bit long, let's start with that adventure in the back mountain."
Yanluo no longer concealed the story of her journey.
He loves Su Qing, and Su Qing has the right to know these things.
As Su Qing listened, tears welled up in her eyes, and Yan Luo wiped them away while continuing to speak.
After a long time, Yanluo finally finished telling her story of the past six years.
Su Qing buried her face in Yan Luo's arms and cried.
Yanluo gently patted her back.
It felt much easier to say it out loud.
He couldn't help but think that way.
Gradually, Su Qing stopped crying.
"So, Ah Yan, you've been doing such dangerous things and going through such pain all this time."
"Ayan, Ayan..."
Su Qing's eyes were slightly red, and there were still tear stains on her face. She looked at Yan Luo with heartache.
Slowly, slowly, the two drew closer to each other.
Until the lips are pressed together.
The girl leaned against the young man's warm embrace, holding his hand, and looked at the yellowish streetlights in the distance.
Yanluo's voice was very soft.
"I'm sorry for hiding this from you for so long, which has caused you so much pain."
Su Qing gently shook her head.
"It's alright, as long as I see you again, none of this will matter."
“Ayan.”
"Um?"
"From now on, there will be me, Miaomiao, Ningbing and the others, and the children."
"With us here, you will no longer be in pain, and you will no longer be alone."
Yan Luo smiled and nodded.
"With you all here, I feel at ease."
The two sat quietly on the somewhat old wooden chair.
After adjusting her mood, Yanluo and Su Qing spent some time together before returning to the guesthouse.
After changing into his swimming trunks, Yanlu stepped into the men's bath, where the warm hot spring completely relaxed him.
He hummed a cheerful tune, looking up at the bright starry sky and the clear, full moon that he couldn't see in the city.
The sliding door at the entrance was opened.
Su Qing, wearing a swimsuit, walked in.
"Ayan, let's go to a bar together."
Yanluo looked at the girl's rosy cheeks and couldn't help but swallow.
"Okay, come quick, it's quite cold."
It wasn't that Yanluo was impatient; rather, the nights in the mountains were truly cold, and Yanluo noticed that Su Qing's body was already shivering slightly.
