When Shu Yan heard this, he asked Bai Liwei in surprise: "Second master, I know, it may be too much to ask, but I still think clearly, when did you figure it out and decide to let yourself go?" ”

"It was this morning, in the midst of the false alarm and danger that had just passed, at that most critical moment, that I figured it out. As you said, I finally decided to let myself go. And of course, thanks to you, Yan'er. Bai Liwei replied truthfully.

"Thank me? I didn't do anything? Second master, why do you want to thank me? Shu Yan asked Baili Dao in confusion.

"Who says you didn't do anything? Yan'er, didn't you subconsciously hold on to my sleeve? Do you remember who the person you subconsciously called out at that time? Bai Liwei asked Shu Yan rhetorically.

Shu Yan, who instantly recalled the moment Bai Liwei was referring to, said to Bai Liwei very apologetically: "I'm sorry, second master, you know, I didn't mean to." ”

"Yes, I know, unintentional is the most heartbreaking; If you want to call it out, maybe I won't give up. Bai Liwei said to Shu Yan.

"Always, I've always been, I've always been so uncontrollable, even though I know he's long gone." Shu Yan said helplessly to Bai Liwei, and also said to himself.

"I used to think that way, but now I don't. Because perhaps, he is not gone, he is still there, always has been, in your heart, and lingers for a long time, for sixteen years, or even longer; Or perhaps, he is still there, always been, in your subconscious, waiting for an opportunity, to happen at the most critical moment, at the moment when you hold on to my sleeve. ”

The next day, the sixteenth year of Kunqian, the twelfth month of winter.

Sure enough, as Shu Yan expected yesterday, as soon as the time passed, heavy snow suddenly fell in the area of Fuling City in the Celestial Empire. After only half a night's work, the land around Fuling City was already covered with snow; It wasn't until dawn that the snow stopped suddenly.

And the world after the snow is as if it has been completely renovated from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside; At the moment when people are all looking at it, they want to embrace the new world in front of them immediately; Or, throw yourself into the arms of this new world.

And Baili Wei is in such an environment and state of mind, on the way to embrace his new world, and on the way to throw himself into the arms of his new world.

Early in the morning of this day, in the Celestial Empire's Fuling City, on Jinhong Street, in the main house of Shuixin Fort, Bai Liwei carried a letter of resignation, and slowly walked to the front yard with difficulty, to Vientiane Hall, and to Shu Yan, who was in the hall but was no longer his wife.

Along the way, Bai Lili sometimes looked at the blue sky after the snow, sometimes drooped his head and watched, step by step, carefully stepping on the road covered with snow, and from time to time there were "creaking" and "creaking" sounds under his feet.

When he arrived at the main hall of Vientiane Hall as promised, he took out the letter of resignation that still had residual warmth from his arms, and then presented it to Shu Yan with both hands, and this period of mistaken and ridiculous marriage between Baili Wei and Shu Yan came to an end.

Since then, Baili Wei and Shu Yan have been separated from each other, and each life has been happy.

In the sixteenth year of Kunqian, the eleventh day of the lunar month, the great cold.

It was the cold winter wax moon, and in the middle of winter, it snowed in many places outside the Suzaku Pass, and the crystal snowflakes endlessly hit the faces of pedestrians, which was also a heart-rending pain.

In less than half a day, the heaven and earth in the national capital Woshi City have been clouds and snow, and they are white.

And at this moment, the heaven and earth after the snow in the area of Woshi City, the capital of Qi Kingdom, just like the situation after the snow in the area of Fuling City of the Celestial Empire, thousands of miles away, just like a month ago, it is as if it has been completely renovated from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside; At the moment when people are all looking at it, they want to embrace the new world in front of them immediately; Or, throw yourself into the arms of this new world.

However, although it is said that there is "no one", there are always exceptions.

For Zhong Daxuan, who always has a lingering boredom in his heart, the new world around him at this moment does not seem to have much to do with him, and it is difficult or even impossible to stir up waves in his heart, making him have the urge to embrace Xintiandi or throw himself into the arms of Xintiandi.

Because Zhong Daxuan has been in the world that he subjectively thinks has no light in the recent period; So much so that even though the world around him was as bright as new, it seemed to him that he was still bound by the bleak old world in which he had always lived.

To this day, Zhong Daxuan, who has lived in the city of King Qi for more than 70 days, has been able to get along with Yu Yin face-to-face except during meals; The rest of the time, Yu Yin only cared about plucking his winding strings, and had no time to take care of Zhong Daxuan's feelings, nor did he notice the subtle changes in Zhong Daxuan's mood at all.

As for Zhong Daxuan, most of the time he is like a wandering spirit, floating in the palace all day long, bored and aimless. Over time, Zhong Daxuan even forgot the details of his and Yu Yin's company day and night in the Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Fort.

However, the sudden and unexpected situation made Zhong Daxuan reminisce and reminisce about his life in the Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Castle.

On the morning of this day, outside the Suzaku Pass, in the Woshi City, the capital of the Qi Kingdom, in the palace of the royal city, Zhong Daxuan, who had just folded the futon, heard a rapid knock at the door of his dormitory.

Zhong Daxuan heard the sound and hurriedly went to answer the door, but it was none other than Yu Yin who stepped on the snow.

Before Zhong Daxuan could open his mouth to ask what he meant, Yu Yin couldn't wait to explain to Zhong Daxuan: "Brother Daxuan, today my father specially gathered all the top court musicians in the royal city in the Hefen Palace, saying that he wanted me to share music experience and exchange performance skills with them. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I've been wanting to talk to them for a long time, and I'm here to ask if you want to go with you. ”

Sharing music experience and exchanging performance skills - this is undoubtedly unbelievable in Zhong Daxuan's thinking. Because Zhong Daxuan has always been paranoid that the expression of inner emotions is the best expression of music; Expressing one's heart is the best technique for playing, and there is no experience to talk about at all.

Zhong Daxuan, who had always harbored this idea, naturally did not want to go with Yu Yin, so he excused himself and excused Yu Yin: "I'm sorry, Yu Yin, you better go by yourself, I have to make up for sleep in a while!" Last night, the north wind howled and the windows rattled, so that I was awakened many times in my sleep, and I still can't lift my spirits. ”

"Brother Da Xuan, didn't you grow up sleeping in a cave? How can you be awakened by the sound of the wind blowing the window? Yu Yin questioned Zhong Daxuan's excuse.

"It is precisely because I grew up sleeping in caves that I sleep lighter, lighter, and more easily awake than others; Otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible if I was taken away by the wild beasts of the mountains and I was still asleep? Zhong Daxuan said to himself in a subtle way.

However, although what Zhong Daxuan said was an excuse to round up his talents, what he said was not unreasonable; What's more, Yu Yin, who wanted to go to the appointment, was anxious at the moment, and he naturally chose to believe what Zhong Daxuan said without thinking.

"That being the case, Brother Da Xu, then you can catch up on sleep, I'll go alone. It's just too late to have breakfast with you, you must remember to make up for sleep after breakfast! Yu Yin told Zhong Daxuan quite uneasily.

"Don't worry, Yu Yin, after I've had breakfast by myself later, I'll wander around the yard for a while, and then I'll go to catch up on sleep. You don't have to worry about me anymore, I'm such a big person, I'll take care of myself, you better hurry up and go to the appointment! Zhong Daxuan responded to Yu Yin insincerely.

"Okay, Brother Da Xuan, then we'll see you in the evening." Yu Yin waved his hand at Zhong Daxuan and said.

Yu Yin said, so he hurriedly turned around and ran away.

As for Zhong Daxuan, who was still standing stupidly at the door of the dormitory at this moment, he was introduced into a deep memory by the word "going to the appointment" that he had inadvertently mentioned.

Once upon a time, when Lishu wanted to invite Zhong Daxuan to enjoy the spring flowers, Yu Yin said to Zhong Daxuan angrily, "Forget it, Brother Daxuan, you go to the appointment, anyway, I'm not in the mood to go shopping anymore."

However, at that time, Zhong Daxuan couldn't bear to let Yu Yin stay alone, so he had to go and return, and took Yu Yin to go to the appointment of the beautiful woman.

It's a pity that Yu Yin, who turned around and ran away in high spirits at this moment, will never go and return, even if Zhong Daxuan is not in the mood to have breakfast, even Zhong Daxuan is not wandering in the courtyard as before, even if Zhong Daxuan has been sitting alone in the dormitory all day.

Is it because Zhong Daxuan is not important in Yu Yin's heart? Of course not.

Is it because Yu Yin doesn't value the friendship between him and Zhong Daxuan? Of course not.

So why? Who knows?

At this moment, Zhong Daxuan couldn't help but recall the situation of living in the Heavenly Empire's Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Fort in the past. At that time, once he had the opportunity to go outside the fort with Yu Yin, he would feel very comfortable. Because everyone in the Jinhong Water Heart Fort has reservations, where is there anything like running freely in the vast world outside the fort?

But now Zhong Daxuan thinks about it, even if he continues to be aggrieved in the Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Castle, it's fine! Even if you still face those who have reservations all day long, that's fine! At least there, he and Yu Yin are not separated from each other, and they are dependent on each other.

People are always like this, always nostalgic for the past situation, always know how to cherish it after the past, and always desperately want to seize a moment that will not come back.
