Tears, Zi Lemei's face, fell in a flutter.

fell on Chai Nan's heart, and suddenly turned into hot lava shards, burning him endlessly.

He couldn't see her cry the most.

Although, even if she has tears in her eyes, she is extremely beautiful, as beautiful as a pear blossom stained with raindrops, so that he can't take his eyes off.

However, he had promised not to let her cry, not in any case.

But it was him who made her cry uncontrollably.

His heart was twisted violently, and juice and blood were squeezed out.

Almost without thinking, Chai Nan stretched out his right hand.

He wanted to caress her face and wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

- "Smack!"

Lemei jerked his hand away.

The strength was so great that the defenseless Chai Nan was suddenly pushed back half a step.

Resentful dark eyes stared at him tremblingly.

It's not that Chai Nan doesn't want to explain.

However, a thousand words...... Eventually, it all turned into a silent silence.

He had already made his choice.

When he didn't hesitate to recapture that copy of "Hengshu".

Fish and bear's paws, it's best to have both.

If you can only choose one of them......

Fish are sacrificed, and bear's paws are taken.

No matter how much promise, no matter how much you promise...... No amount of explanation, at the moment, it is just a quibble.

Why don't Lemei understand?

She collected her tears, walked past him, and silently walked out the door.

It's just that she walks slowly.

Chai Nan knew that she was waiting for him to keep her.

Later, countless times in his dreams, he dreamed that he was chasing after him, and he dreamed that he was hugging her from behind......

In the dream, he held her hand with all his strength and ran desperately...... Kept fleeing, kept fleeing, escaped from the Anguo Marquis's Mansion, escaped from Bianjing, and fled to a place where no one could find it.

The reality is—

He seemed to be pinned to the spot, unable to move, only watching her step by step, into the vast twilight. Her back faded more and more in the dimness, and finally, she could no longer be seen.

Like a small boat, gradually pushed away from him by the waves of fate.

Drift to the ends of the earth that he can't see.

His heart, from that day on, completely became an island.

……

"Thank you. ”

Chai Nan carefully took the "Hengshu" into his arms, and bowed sincerely to Le Song.

"You don't resent me?"

Le Song raised his eyebrows and asked playfully.

"Sooner or later, I'll have to face a choice, won't I?" Chai Nan asked rhetorically, shook his head lightly, and confessed with a wry smile: "Besides, I was the one who cheated first." I actually memorized most of the contents of the book last night. ”

"I debunked your mind in front of Amei, don't you hate?"

Le Song smiled and said leisurely.

How could Chai Nan not resent him?

However, at that moment, he felt a kind of relief in his heart.

A sense of hollow and lonely lightness.

"My thanks, both for the book and for the ......"

When Chai Nan said this, the corners of his eyes were sour, and his voice suddenly became hoarse: "Thank you for letting me let go of my shackles." ”

She had always lived in the softest corner of his heart.

Fear, worry......

There are worries, for her worries, for her unrest.

He was infatuated with this strange feeling, but he was also panicked.

So far, the weakness has been removed.

Only armor remains.

You can charge with all your might.

Fearless.

Because there is no concern.

Outside the window, the sunset on the horizon gradually faded from yellow, and finally only a light orange remained.

God, it's getting dark.

The candle has not yet been lit.

In the faint light, Le Song looked at him, his dark eyes were shining, and he bent his lips and smiled.

It is a smile of satisfaction.

It's like seeing a carefully cultivated peony, finally budding and ready to be released.
