Chapter 22: Everyone's Way

"Wow-" With a sound, Xuan Zhige finally couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart, clutched the placket of her clothes tightly, tears burst out of the embankment, crying like a helpless child in his arms, paralyzed into a puddle of mud.

At that moment, Baili Jingchen looked down at her like this, and for the first time suddenly felt that she was very much like her former self, so helpless and so stubborn.

The wind blew mercilessly on her tearful face, cutting her heart like a knife. But he slowly and unconsciously stretched out his hand and paused an inch above her head, hesitating whether to comfort her.

In his eyes, there were emotions that even he couldn't distinguish, whether it was compassion or something else.

A ray of sunlight in the east broke free from the horizon and shone a bright red in the forest, coating everything with a layer of fire and burning his outstretched hand.

In that moment, he restrained his emotions and withdrew his hand without a trace, slowly falling to his sides, only to let her crumble in his arms.

His gaze wanted to fall on her, but he forced himself to keep looking at the peak at the highest point of the palace, and the waves in his eyes were already towering.

There are some things that you don't want at the beginning, so don't ask for them.

**********************

Finally, she was still stronger than he had imagined.

After about two hours, she wiped away all the tears herself, and her eyes were rekindled with grief and hatred, and she slowly looked at him, and said word by word: "If I go back to the palace with you, will you help me find out all this?" ”

"I'll do my best. But it will not be guaranteed. And now, you don't have a choice. ”

Baili Jingchen tried to express his meaning completely, but when it came to his mouth, the words were still a little stiff.

Fortunately, she was already overly sad, and she didn't care about the meaning of this.

She just clenched her fists tightly and slowly stood up until she stood straight, only an inch away from Baili Jingchen, with a proud face facing the dawning sun, with red eyes, trying to restrain herself from staring at Baili Jingchen and said-

"Let's go."

"Why don't you wait for the fire to be extinguished and bury him?"

Baili looked at her with such a determination, wiped the unbearable in his heart, and reminded her.

But I saw that she was tired, and in the sun, her shadow was dragged mottled and long.

Her steps were as heavy as cold iron, but her back was straighter than that of the pine and cypress, and she walked forward one step at a time.

The cold wind in the forest carried the smell of charcoal fire being burned, and her whispered words came backwards—

"No need. The people are gone. The burial is just a number of opportunities to dig up the grave and whip the corpse. It's better to let the old man go with the wind, and do as he pleases. ”

Her figure went farther and farther in the forest, and became more and more far-reaching, until she finally stood in the forest, and the world was one color!

It's a color that can't be distinguished.

He stood in place in a daze, looking at her who was leaving like this, he was silent for a long time without words, and the emotions in his eyes tossed and turned several times, and finally, it turned into a helpless sentence on his lips-

"Perhaps, this is your way. Let's just go and give it a try. ”
