Outside the Sparrow

In everyone's life, they will meet the person who is destined.

Sooner or later, there will always be encounters.

And my whole life has been her from the beginning.

Before I was born, my mother, whom I had never met, died in the claws of an eagle on an outing, leaving behind a nest of eggs that had not yet broken their shells, including me.

I was the last one born. The day I broke out of the shell, the other siblings had long since left the nest, and I couldn't open my eyes, I could only vaguely feel the broken eggshells all around me.

Overwhelmed, cold and hungry, I stumbled and fumbled until I finally moved to the edge of the nest.

When I was a young child, it was too late to realize the danger, and I fell from the nest like a falling stone.

I thought I was going to die.

But a pair of gentle hands caught me under the tree.

When I opened my eyes, the first person I saw in this world was her.

Hua took pity on me and raised me single-handedly.

Every morning when I opened my eyes, she was right next to me, and I lay on her soft pillow and quietly pecked her fair cheeks with my mouth. She would wake up laughing, pick me up with her hands, and smile in the morning light like a fairy who had just come down to earth.

"Ah Que, you are naughty again." She laughs.

The name Ah Qi was given by her, and she said that it was a nickname, and the real name had to be taken by myself when I grew up.

But it's the name you gave me, and I just like it.

Hundreds of years have passed, and I have grown up beside her, from a small lark to a man with a physical body.

I still remember that day, when the sun was gently shining on the edge of her bed, and I woke up to kiss her as usual, only to touch her soft face clearly. I realized I had lips, and I looked down at my slender limbs, and was pleasantly surprised to almost want to wake her up from her sleep.

But I suddenly hesitated. Looking at her sleeping childlike face in the morning light, I lowered my head and wanted to kiss her on the lips.

But I was afraid to wake her up. Just as I hesitated, she woke up.

I regret not being able to kiss her quietly.

When she opened her eyes, she saw me lying beside her, and she slapped me away.

It took a long time to accept that I was a man, and she always thought I was a girl.

I was worried that she would chase me away, but fortunately she accepted the fact and treated me no differently than before. The only difference is probably that I can't sleep on her pillow anymore, which is nothing to me, as long as I can still be with her.

For hundreds of years, she has been my only concern and belief. As long as I can guard her, I am so happy.

I never dared to get her. She's so beautiful, I can't think about it.

So, when she met Liu Xin, I suddenly realized that I had lost her like this.

I'm still her best friend, her closest person.

But I couldn't possibly have anything with her anymore.

Over the past few hundred years, I have traveled the world with Hua Xi and have traveled a lot of places. On the day they met, we happened to be passing through Shengru Town.

Hua Xi took her newly raised roses and put them in a basket as usual to sell them in Shengru Town.

She said that she liked it, and that being in contact with mortals and feeling the affection between them was the most beautiful thing in the world.

I loved to wander around this new place, so we went our separate ways.

However, not long after she and I were separated, it started to rain lightly, so I bought an oil-paper umbrella and looked for her in the town. There were a lot of people in the town, and they were all walking around with umbrellas, and I couldn't find her, so I had to turn back to my original form and fly high to see the whole town, so that I could find her faster.

The rain drenched my wings and was heavy.

But I just want to find her.

I found her under one roof.

She squatted under the eaves to hide from the rain, which drenched her forehead and sideburns, and she wiped the drops of water from her forehead with her sleeve while carefully protecting the brightly colored roses in her arms with the other hand.

I was about to jump off the eaves and turn into a human being, when a thin figure came from the corner of the street, and I was afraid of disturbing the mortal, so I had to wait for him to leave before coming down.

Unexpectedly, this mortal man also went to this roof to hide from the rain. There are eaves all around, why do you have to go under this one to avoid the rain??

This mortal was dressed in a moon-white robe, and looked a little thin, like a weak scholar. He ran awkwardly under the eaves, his bony hands twisting the water on his sleeves, and when he turned around, he saw Hua Xi squatting beside him, holding roses in his hands, and happened to look up at him.

She's so beautiful. The roses simply pale in comparison to her.

But the idiot was stunned for a long time, and finally came out: "The girl is really a person who cherishes flowers." ”

Hua Xi looked up at him and smiled. I knew she was good-looking, but I was so upset to see her smile at him.

The nerd was really distracted by the smile of the flowers, and it took a while before he said stupidly: "The girl is really extraordinary." ”

Hua Xi looked at him and smiled again, reached out and took a rose from her arms, handed it to him, and said, "Since you have a relationship with your son, then you will give one to your son." ”

The nerd was a little embarrassed, bowed slightly and said, "That's embarrassing." How to sell this flower, girl, Xiaosheng should buy one. ”

Seeing that he was so serious, Hua Xi teased him: "My flower is priceless, how can you buy it?" ”

The nerd was not stunned, and said with a smile: "The girl is really not a layman, and if you want to come to gold and silver treasures and other vulgar things, you must not be able to enter the girl's eyes, so it is better to ...... Xiaosheng invites the girl to a place, okay? ”

Hua Xi looked at his delicate face with a faint sense of confidence, and couldn't help but wonder: "Where is it?" ”

The nerd said confidently: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, tomorrow, Xiaosheng will take the girl to a place to ensure that the girl likes it." ”

Hua Xi said "oh" suspiciously, and handed the rose in his hand into his hand. Her fingers accidentally touched the back of his hand, and the nerd lowered his eyes, his eyelashes hiding the emotion in his eyes, but the roots of his ears were quietly red.

The two of them just chatted with each other, and I stood on the eaves and listened to them.

"Strange to say," the nerd may have been a little embarrassed to look at her, and as he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the bell under the eaves in the distance, but his voice was unusually gentle, "When Fang Xiaosheng ran over, he only saw the girl squatting here from a distance, and he didn't see the girl's roses at all. But when I got closer and saw the girl's appearance clearly, I suddenly found that the girl's rose was in my arms, so beautiful, I didn't see it at all before, Xiaosheng was really clumsy. ”

Hua Xi was stunned and looked up at him. He was still staring at the bell at the corner of the eaves, his thin side face was very handsome, but the roots of his ears were still faintly red.

I suddenly understood that this scholar was originally in love with her at first sight, and he would suddenly see the heartfelt rose.

Obviously, Hua Xi also realized it, lowered her head and didn't answer again, and didn't know what she was thinking.

The scholar was silent for a while, plucked up his courage, turned his head to look at her, and said, "Xiaosheng's surname is Liu Mingxin, and the girl can call me Liu Sheng." Dare to ask...... What is the girl's name? ”

Hua Xi looked at his serious face gently, and said with a smile: "My name is Hua Xi." The flowers of those who cherish flowers. ”

I stood on the eaves and for some reason felt a little panic in my heart.

The next day, Liu Xin really took Hua Xi to a place. I turned into a little finch and quietly followed her, trying to see where they were going.

Hua Xi looked at the oil-paper umbrella in Liu's novice hand and wondered: "Why do you want to bring an umbrella?" It's not raining now. ”

Liu Xin said gently: "When I went out, I was afraid that it would rain again today and be drenched in the girl." ”

Hua Xi smiled lightly when she heard this.

I followed them all the way to a field. It was still dark, and the sun had not yet come out, but I could faintly see something red in the field.

They sat side by side on a ridge and waited for the sunrise.

When the first rays of morning light stained half of the sky, the bright sunlight scattered on the side of the field, slowly pouring out in all directions. I saw a cluster of fiery roses illuminated by the golden sun, so bright that the stars on the horizon scorched the night sky, and as the sun rose little by little, all the roses were surging like undulating waves under the blowing of the wind, and in an instant the heavens and the earth were discolored, as if there was only this thrilling splendor left in the world.

I was so shocked by this scenery that I lost my mind, and after I reacted, I saw Hua Xi's expression more shocked than me. Even as a rose demon, she had never seen such a shocking scene. Her eyes widened, and all the bright colors were reflected in her beautiful eyes.

She looked at the view. Liu Xin looked at her.

"I only discovered this flower field a while ago. This is a wild field, and I don't know when so many roses have grown, and the flowers and branches are tangled but also beautiful. When I saw the girl yesterday, I was reminded of this flower field, which is beautiful and unique. ”

Only here can she be worthy of her.

"This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen, and in the future, I'm going to raise roses here." Hua Xi came back to her senses, looked at Liu Xin in surprise, and asked, "But how can you think of watching the sunrise here?" This sea of flowers and the morning glow reflect each other, it is really beautiful. ”

Liu Xin smiled: "I also had a whim yesterday. Speaking of which, it was the girl who inspired me. ”

Hua Xi also smiled: "Don't call me a girl, it looks so raw." ”

Liu Xin thought for a while and said tentatively: "Then how to call the girl?" Can...... A pity? ”

Hua Xi said: "Okay." ”

At that moment, I finally had to admit that there was something different in the way she looked at him.

That's the love I've always longed for, but never got.

Later, they got married, and she settled down in Shengru Town.

On the day they got married, I, as her only relative, stayed with her. She was so happy that day and talked to me a lot. Her wedding dress is obviously beautiful, but she is afraid that it will not look good enough. She didn't know that she was much more beautiful than this ragged wedding dress.

I didn't know what to think after drinking, so I ran to tell her that I also wanted to stay in Shengru Town. She asked me why, and I actually said that the beef noodles here were delicious.

She couldn't stop laughing and said to me, then you can open a small noodle stall.

I laughed too, and I said, okay.

Despite my refusal to admit it, my life was finally completely separated from her.

She has her husband, her home, and I, only my little noodle stall. I lost contact with her and didn't even know where she had gone.

Later, she and Liu Xin were hunted down, Liu Xin died for her, and she suddenly appeared in the flower field, like a lost child.

It's okay if I have amnesia, I think, it won't be painful anymore.

But then she remembered it again. She had to wait, for someone who was already dead to come back. And my mind couldn't be hidden after all, and she gave me a love rose.

But how can a flower pity, a hundred years of affection, be defeated by a rose?

Looking at your resolute gaze, I made up my mind for the first time.

I used to be so cowardly, I never dared to fight for a trace of your love.

But now, I don't want to look at you from afar.

You have to wait for him.

I'm going to wait for you.

Let's see who can afford whom.
