Qiao Liu listened to Qiao Yan's words. Gently turned his head around. looked at Qiao Yan's face that couldn't be seen clearly in the dark. After thinking about it, he whispered, "I know. I miss my big sister too. But the third sister. You can rest assured. You're a little sister. I will protect you like a big sister in the future."

Qiao Yi chuckled softly. agreed with Qiao Liu's words: "I know. I know you're going to protect me. I knew it from the moment you rushed out and pushed Qiao Jin today. You'll always protect me."

Qiao Yan rolled over. Looking at the half-closed window. The pale blue curtains were gently blown by the night breeze. She closed her eyes. Seemingly unintentionally, he asked, "You talked so much with your cousin today. Also asked so much. I must have talked about a lot of fun. Do you know the ships that depart from here? At what point will it go?"

Qiao Liu thought for a while. Only then did he say with a serious face: "Is it a ship from here to other places? I've heard my cousin say that. It seems to be all Yinshi. It's pretty early."

Qiao Yi's eyes widened when he heard this. Her eyes opened in the darkness. A lot of indescribable emotions swirled in her eyes. She wasn't saying anything. Just opened his mouth. Eventually, it was closed. She thought of the riverside. Tomorrow. He'll leave in the boat there. Get out of here. Leave your own world. When you say goodbye. I just don't know what year it is.

Qiao Yi closed his eyes again. She silently held out her hands. Gently pulled up the quilt on his chest. Cover your head with this soft and fluffy quilt. I just hope that this temporary space can allow me to escape everything in front of me.

Zhu Dong stood in front of Shen Mo's study. Take a deep breath. Only then did he stretch out his finger and gently buckle the door. After a while. Only then came from inside the house: "Come in."

Zhudong pushed the door open. As soon as I entered the house, I closed the door. Keep all the night breeze out of the door. He walked briskly over to his desk. Bend over slightly. He lowered his head and said, "Childe. It's all packed up. I'll just wait for tomorrow to leave by boat."

Shen Mo kept his face calm and didn't say a word. It seems that he doesn't care about Zhu Dong's words. Lin Shi, who was sitting on the other side, straightened out the slightly wrinkled sleeves. Hooked the corners of his lips leisurely. Said softly, "How. Still sullen."

Shen Mo waved his hand at Zhudong a little helplessly. Zhu Dong immediately led and stood aside. Shen Mo filled himself with a cup of tea. But just smelling the tea. said: "Sometimes. Will this tea fragrance just smell comfortable. It doesn't have to go into your throat."

Lin Shi shook his head. Pick up the teacup in front of you and drink it down. Only then did he sigh: "But it's good tea. Since it's so good. Why not take it. The empty air cooled off the tea aroma. Thou shalt not put it in my throat. To know. That's all there is to tea in front of you. It's just that you can't let go of this person. Because only I like it. I can't let go."

Shen Mo picked up the teacup. After drinking the hot tea, he said in a deep voice, "Yes. Or do you understand me. I like it so much. How can you let it go?"

Lin Shi was silent. Watching him pick up the folding fan in front of him and observe it gently. Only then did he lower his eyes and asked, "Shen Mo. Are you a little too anxious. After all. Gardenia, she's only ten years old now. You want too far, too much, too heavy. I'm afraid she won't be able to give it at this time."

Shen Mo also stopped his hand. He whispered, "Why don't I know. But I don't have time. I can't help but say it. It's inevitable that I'm leaving. If it was before. I'm not happy to refuse. This incident is no small matter. I'm not good and I can't stay out of it. If I don't go. She's the reason I won't leave. The ants of Kyoto's minions are bound to stretch here. I can't and don't want to disturb her peaceful life. What she wants is a stable and prosperous world. I'll give it to her."

Lin Shi paused. There was a hint of sadness on his face. Or to everything in the world. Or to them. He looked at the candle flames jumping on the corner pavilion and said, "Yes. There is always too much frustration. You always have to leave. To solve everything you will face. Protect the people you want to protect for life. The dangers are unpredictable. You are alone in the land of tigers and wolves. How can you rest assured?"

Shen Mo put away the fan in his hand. Placed it on the table: "That's why I'm so desperate for her answer. Even if she didn't know that way at this time. But at least it also took a place in her heart. Otherwise after I'm gone. She made a family affair with her. He has forgotten me. I'll come back the other day. What a situation to fall into?"

Lin Shi nodded. He frowned and said, "yes. It's been too long. When you come back. She's at the age of marriage. You can't let go as well as you should. I just wish she would know. You can do as we wish."

Shen Mo let out a rare wry smile. Slowly shook his head: "Tomorrow. I'll be gone tomorrow. I'm afraid there really isn't a turnaround. By this time she had fallen asleep. Tomorrow the sun comes out. She can open the window with a smile on her face. Let the warm sun shine on her countenance. Another good day. I was too far away to see her face in a boat."

Lin Shi sighed a few times. For a while, I didn't know what kind of words could comfort this dear friend in front of me. Let him turn around from his sad emotions. He looked at the moonlight, which was obscured by the window prints. He just said as if to himself, "yes. She has a sweet smile on her face almost all the time. Let everyone feel the warmth of the sun. It's always sunny in life."

Shen Mo just hooked the corners of his lips and smiled: "Yes. She's just a child. A ten-year-old girl. What can I ask her to give me in response to this fiery affection. Either before. It's still this day. It's all me abrupt. I must have scared her. I asked him so much. These are the ones I want. It's all because I'm thinking too much. It's me who thinks too much. I've really thought about it."

Lin Shi listened to the loneliness in Shen Mo's words. Sighed softly. He's still like that. As before. Never changed. That's why he often can't smile when he is smiling. What can I do about it? Console. Shen Mo is not a person who can be relieved with a few words of comfort. So. He knew too much. Seen through too much. There will be so much unhappiness. At this time I. I can only have a drink with him.

Lin Shi silently got up and walked to the cabinet. He bent down and took out a pot of wine and said with a smile: "It's all too much to think about. If you don't understand it, you might as well put it down. You're leaving early tomorrow morning. Tonight is also the last time we'll see each other before you leave. At times like these. Is the tea too talkative and tasteless. The fragrance has a lack of aftertaste. I'm going to have a good drink with you. I'll say goodbye to you."

Shen Mo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. Looking at Lin Shi and the wine jug in his hand, he smiled and said, "It's also rare. You rarely drink alcohol. Only like to drink tea. Even if you drink more than one glass. It's just a taste. Today he offered to drink with me. Hehe. It's really rare. I don't know why you're for a while. Is it just to say goodbye to me. You didn't have this treatment when you said goodbye to me before."

Lin Shi smiled lightly and bent over. The corners of his lips curled and said, "Don't think I'm going to get drunk with you. I'm just going to have a taste with you. I can't learn your habit of drinking. Even if I want to drink with you today, I'll just go through my throat. You also drink everything less. There's a bunch of things to do tomorrow. Again. This departure is so different from the past. Naturally, I'm going to have a few drinks. Farewell to you."

Shen Mo just nodded when he heard this. Said with a smile: "It's natural. Let's taste it. After drinking with you all these years, there was a day when I didn't taste it. I've long been used to it. If one day you suddenly ask me to be with you, I will not deserve it. Now that the parting is imminent. It's good to have some drinks with you. It's fine."

Lin Shi walked to the table with the flask in hand. Pour the wine into the glass in your hand. He picked it up, touched the glass lightly, and drank it all without saying a word. Again and again full. Lin Shi looked at the intoxicating aroma of wine in the wine glass. The corners of the lips are hooked. What I think of is that the splendid mountain flowers in spring are swept away by the fallen leaves in autumn. I remembered that day, in the afternoon of late summer and early autumn, walking in front of the fence door of Qiao's house in the dusk. I saw that the daughter was sitting under the eaves and looking at the book in her hand. Little by little, the sunlight moved to the hem of her skirt. She didn't feel the sun burn her ankles. I didn't realize that I was standing in front of the door and looked at it for a long time. The sunlight is even weaker for a long time. Weak as their own gaze. He didn't say a word and collected all the eyes on his face. Turn your head and leave.

Shen Mo thought of the night sky on the South Mountain. All the stars hung quietly in the treetops. Flashing light from time to time. She snuggled up to her chest like that. Her heartbeat burned herself. Her tiny body was held in her arms. In that cool night with the chirping of insects, it was unexpectedly warm. A touch of her side face is clean and fair. The eyelashes are long and trembling slightly. Her hair floated restlessly in the air. Little by little, naughty scratching the tips of his ears. Cheek. Chin. Make yourself tickle all over your body. But they can't itch their hearts. Trembling and trembling to find each fall. I only hugged her tightly in my arms. I feel better. The light of the fire danced around them. Shine on them. The sound of the wind passed by their ears. There ran to the treetops. Her eyes were bright in the firelight. Almost all of them can be photographed, and they are full of spoiled self.
