(20)

I must admit that although Lige can't cook, the chicken soup for the soul he cooks can't be compared. As I looked at his bright and deep eyes, I secretly admired his unsurpassed abilities in my heart, and suddenly remembered the seal on his body that had not yet been unlocked by us.

In fact, to a certain extent, the fate of Lige and Frost River is extremely similar, and it can even be said that Lige's situation is a little more miserable than Frost River. After all, because of our help, Shuanghe has been freed from Qu Yuan's influence and can start a new life again, but if the seal of Lige is not lifted for a day, then he will not return to his normal life for a day. Now that he can comfort Frost River so calmly, then if I tell him that his life will become like this, completely affected by the sealing of the Tai Bai Star Spirit that belonged to Li Bai back then, can he still persuade himself to accept the reality so calmly?

I hesitated for a long time whether to tell him the truth, and remained silent until now, not because I thought it would be a shame for me to tell him that neither I nor Tatsubei could break the seal, but because I didn't expect that answer. Because it was unpredictable, I was afraid, afraid that he would give up on himself and give up hope of continuing to work hard. It was with great difficulty that he broke free from the trough, and if he was hit again, no one knew what things would turn out of.

I'm not a gambler, I'm not going to gamble, and I'm not going to gamble on his future. This bet is too big for me to afford. And I can't allow myself to be the one who pushed him into the abyss, and I can't allow him to fall into the abyss himself.

What I'm going to do is, save him!

Just when I finally made up my mind to bury the story of the song in my heart and never mention it to him, Frost River wiped away her tears and said in a tragic tone like a heroic death:

"Half of the past twenty-four years, whether it's my teachers, classmates, or my relatives and friends, they think I'm a monster. They were afraid of me, they were afraid of me, but that fear and fear became the reason for them to laugh at me, to tease me, to hurt me. I've struggled, begged, and fled countless times, but in the end it's all the same—to continue to live among them as a monster. I don't have the courage to live anymore, but today you have redefined my life. It sounds ridiculous, but I accept your comfort and explanation. I am willing to start a new life and live as a frost river with all my might. But I will not forget that I am the reincarnation of Qu Yuan, because this is what he left me, the supreme glory. After all, not everyone can be the reincarnation of a great man, and when I think about it, I feel quite proud. ”

Such a solemn and impassioned "oath" came out of the mouth of that sharp-toothed, willful and selfish frost river, which actually made me a little trance. For a moment, I thought she was possessed by a tree to say such a thing. But it turned out that this was indeed her heartfelt remark, and although it sounded a little stiff and stiff overall, it was enough to iron people's hearts. I smiled shallowly, and then immediately relented, and replied in a serious and earnest manner:

"I'm glad you have this kind of awareness, and if you can keep it up, the door to my thoughts will always be open for you. ”

"Then forget it, I really can't afford to pay for your door. ”

There was a feeling of palpitation in Frost River's tone, which made Lige and I laugh out loud. When I had laughed enough, I squinted and smiled evilly at Frost River like a profiteer:

"Not only you can't afford to pay for the door, but if the cup you hold in your hand now is broken, you can't afford to pay for it, and the value of whatever I think of in my past life is immeasurable. ”

"Damn, do you think your teahouse is a museum?"

Shuanghe was excited, and the teacup in his hand almost came out. I watched her reaction, and suddenly there was a strange fluctuation in my heart. I looked into her eyes, as if from their shining light, I saw Huaguo Mountain, thousands of miles away. I was in a trance and whispered:

"You're not wrong if you want to say that, maybe in a way, my life can be regarded as a kind of cultural relic. ”
