Black Owl, unable to bear it any longer, was about to knock Ji Fengming unconscious and throw him into bed when he suddenly felt a warm, damp sensation in his palm. It was the drunken boy who had placed a very sincere kiss on his hand.
After that, Ji Fengming swayed and finally passed out from drunkenness.
Black Owl's eyes widened suddenly, and he withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted. A tingling sensation ran down his spine as if he had been electrocuted, almost making the hair on his body stand on end.
This kid...
That brat!
He told Uncle Ji as soon as it was light the next day that they had to find a wife for the boy as soon as possible!
Ji Fengming's outburst completely dispelled any remaining sleepiness in Hei Xiao.
After leaving the inn, I walked towards the small lotus pond behind it.
The lotus pond is adjacent to a small river that runs through the town. At this time of year, there are naturally no lotus leaves or flowers, only a pond full of clear, shimmering water. Under the hazy moonlight, the night breeze stirs up endless ripples in the water.
Black Owl sat on a stone bench by the pond, took out another pot of wine, leaned on the stone table next to him, propped his head up, and drank it sip by sip.
A thousand thoughts swirled in my mind;
It's like there are so many things I want to remember, yet I can't remember anything at all;
My heart is filled with unbearable stagnation;
It's like having a thousand words to say, but not knowing who to say them to.
I don't know how long I sat there.
Black Owl unconsciously murmured to himself, "I see no one here, no one to watch the wind and snow. I will soar to the heavens with you at dawn, and we will grow old together."
As soon as I finished speaking, a picture suddenly popped into my mind.
The person in the picture looks like him, yet doesn't resemble him;
The man stood alone atop a towering snow-capped peak, the fierce winds lashing his cold, jade-like face and whipping up his ethereal, snow-white robes.
His eyes, however, were utterly empty, gazing indifferently at the snow-covered abyss stretching for tens of thousands of meters beneath layers of celestial clouds, and at the vibrant, beautiful world beyond the snow-covered region.
His heart was filled with devastation. Black Owl could clearly feel the almost desperate despair in his heart and empathized with him!
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, the man murmured softly: "The clouds and mountains are steep, yet I see no sign of you; who will witness the wind and snow? I will soar to the heavens with you at dawn, and we will vow to grow old together."
After a long while, he sighed softly and said, "May I walk the path you walked, suffer the pain you suffered, and protect what you loved in the next life... May we never meet again."
With his eyes closed, the man leaned forward and plunged into the abyss.
In a daze, he seemed to hear someone crying out in anguish behind him;
But he couldn't care less about anything else.
Black Owl wasn't sure if he was drunk; he couldn't tell whether he was that person or that person was him. His head was throbbing.
When she raised her hand to touch her forehead, she found her face covered in tears.
That man had no tears, yet he wept.
As he was groggily wiping his face with a handkerchief, Hei Xiao suddenly heard soft footsteps behind him and a familiar, gentle voice: "Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
It was frost.
Black Owl's handsome brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. He quickly wiped away the tears on his face, turned his head and said, "It's nothing. I just couldn't sleep, so I came to sit for a while. What brings you here?"
The night was dark, and Black Owl was a master of disguise.
In addition, Lin Shuang was preoccupied with her own worries and was not as observant as usual, so she did not notice his abnormality. Instead, she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at him, and stammered, "I, I also couldn't sleep... I heard someone open the door... I, I was worried that the princess couldn't sleep and came out to relax, so I decided to follow her out to see."
