Chapter Twenty-Seven: The True Ending
Being pulled by a strange man made Ye Xiaolei very uncomfortable, she wanted to break free, but the man pulled the ground tightly, and the man didn't let go of her until she entered the elevator. She looked angrily at the man who was dragging her inexplicably, but the moment she saw him, she felt a sense of déjà vu.
Slender and long eyes, indifferent and cold. So much so that Ye Xiaolei didn't look at the man's other facial features, but only looked at his eyes.
"Ye Xiaolei, huh?" His handsome appearance seemed serious and did not smile.
"Well," she nodded a little confused.
"I'm Shao Tianqing, hello." He held out his right hand.
She stretched out her right hand with a bang, and it turned out to be the master. He shook it and let it go, his face seemed to be a little angry: "I'm in such a hurry to find you because your ending is very problematic." ”
She was stunned: "Knot, ending?" ”
He nodded.
"Ding!" The elevator door opened, and he stretched out his hand and asked, "Let's go to the restaurant." So saying, he walked ahead.
She continues to be confused, which book ends? If you talk about old books, it was three months ago, this grandfather is still in Germany, regardless of the business of the publishing house, it is impossible to suddenly watch her happy reading.
But if it is a new book, she only handed it in yesterday, Sister Fang will not hand over her book to the grandfather for a look, what is the ending he is talking about?
When she passed the front desk, she grabbed a promotional material and blocked it in front of her, because she was a little scared, afraid to go out and see strange people again.
"What are you doing?" He asked, a smile on his face.
She poked her head out from behind the information, looked out for a while, and found that the couple who looked like Zhu Mingxi and Han Gao were no longer there, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, I want to care more about the company."
He smiled and walked out the door.
She cautiously followed, her eyes swept over the fountain, and even the artist was gone. She put down the information and fell into deeper and deeper confusion.
The publishing house is located in the heart of the bustling city, surrounded by exquisite restaurants of all kinds, both traditional and Western-style. Shao Tianqing brought her into a restaurant, then sat by the window and put the menu in front of her: "You order." ”
She looked at him blankly, did the grandfather really invite her to dinner? She smiled, you're welcome at night, this kind of opportunity is indispensable. She quickly ordered her favorite dish, preferably a puff of freshly squeezed corn juice, and waited beautifully for the dish to be served.
The waiter poured the turquoise dragon well for them, Shao Tianqing held the green teacup with both hands and looked at her: "I read the book you handed in yesterday." ”
"Poof!" A mouthful of tea squirted, and Ye Xiaolei hurriedly took the napkin.
He smiled: "I went back to China yesterday, and I went to the publishing house at night when I had nothing to do, and I happened to see your book, as far as I know, what Editor-in-Chief Fang wants to give you is modern urban romance, why did you write this fantasy?"
"I..."In the face of such a handsome guy, and she also read her book, she felt a little embarrassed, "Actually... It was a dream I had. She looked up at his face, but he just blinked: "Yes, this dream is very strange. ”
"Yes..."She nodded, and every time she wrote about Bailirong, there would still be a slight throbbing pain in her heart, as if everything was true, and she was separated from the person she loved deeply, far away from time and space.
"What, my heart hurts?" He asked suddenly.
She looked up in surprise: "No, no. ”
"You're lying." He saw through it at a glance, those clear and bright eyes, as if they could see everything, saw that she lowered her head weakly.
He took a sip of tea and looked calm, "You said this is a dream, so where did this dream come about?" ”
She began to turn the teacup, and the midday sun shone through the glass window, sparkling the tea.
She didn't understand why she wanted to talk about the plot with this unknown grandfather, but he read her book and was her reader, which made her heart a little warm.
"It should have been at Luoxia Rebirth, and then I was bounced out and fell into the clouds..."
"And where did you come from?"
"I guess." She smiled and raised her face, and there was some pride in her shining eyes. However, that Shao Tianqing's face was not very happy.
He chuckled, "Then you're guessing right." However, in the book, Baili Rong obviously loves Ye Xilei, but you threw him to Luoxia, what's going on? ”
She was puzzled: "It's a dream, it's not real, of course I've become a bystander." In my opinion, this arrangement is very good, Luo Xia and Shen Feng have been in love with each other for ten thousand years, and they should be together. ”
"But this dream is real!" Suddenly, he said in a deep voice, and his expression became extremely serious, which seriously made Ye Xiaolei's heart pause.
Silence began to creep between the two of them, until the waiter served the food, interrupting the somewhat stiff atmosphere between them.
The waiter put down the dish and left, Shao Tianqing took a piece of perch and put it in Ye Xiaolei's bowl: "Baili always loves Xiaolei, Tianqing can find out that Luoxia is not Xiaolei, how can Baili not find out?"
"However, he loves Luoxia."
"That was 10,000 years ago. There is only one person who accompanies him to recover his memories and share his ups and downs, and that is Xiaolei.
She looked at him wryly, "How do you say... Like the real thing.
A smile rose from the corner of his sexy lips. "The person a man finally loves must be his first love, so your ending is too cruel for Baili, and you are also deceiving yourself.
She lowered her head again, muttering in her heart, it's just a story, how can this master be so serious. Moreover, there is a regrettable ending, so that people will not forget it quickly. Because they will be depressed because of this ending, and plead, just like the grandfather in front of them.
"That's... You say, how should it end? She asked rhetorically.
He smiled: "In fact, when Shenfeng and Luoxia returned to the demon world, they knew that Luoxia was not Xiaolei, and he had hesitated and hesitated, but in the end, he decided to find Xiaolei, and this search was a hundred years." ”
"What do you mean... Is it to bring them together in modern times? She raised her eyebrows, she actually had to listen to someone else's ending.
"Heh... If you can write a perfect ending, I'll buy out this book, you think about it. After speaking, he picked up a towel and wiped his hands, "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
Watching the grandfather's departure, Ye Xiaolei began to scratch her head, what is this? It's just a dream, and the master said it as if it were the real thing, and he had to deal with the ending seriously.
She has never met such a serious reader.
However, the conditions finally offered by the master are indeed tempting.
She turned her head irritably, looked out the window, and supported her face with one hand, thinking bitterly about the ending.
Suddenly, three men passed straight in front of her, and immediately, as if she had seen a creditor, she picked up the teacup on the table, blocked her face, and peeked at the three men.
Those three men are Yeqi, Luze, and Yanyan!
How could the small teacup block her face, the three men seemed to feel her gaze, and turned their heads in unison, she immediately turned her head and left the back of her head to them.
The three men just glanced at her faintly, and continued to talk and laugh.
Immediately, she turned her head again, and even stood up, leaning against the transparent glass, nervously watching them go away. Another hallucination.
"Those are not hallucinations, they are real." Suddenly, a warm, familiar voice sounded from her side, causing her body to stiffen instantly.
What a familiar sound! The one who is dreaming, keeps saying: Xiaolei, I love your voice, the voice that makes her heart ache every time she writes!
The familiar pain spread from the bottom of her heart again, she turned around in disbelief, and the sunlight fell on the seat opposite her, but at this moment it was not the grandfather who was sitting on the ground, but - Baili Rong!
"Ahh You! She leaned back in the chair and clung to it, as if she wanted to sink her body in.
"I'm sorry to scare you." His clear eyes brought out sadness, "I..."
"Hallucination!" She picked up her backpack in a panic, "Definitely hallucination!" Then, as if he had left his seat, he did not look any further behind him.
Regret and bitterness, raised in his face, he did not chase it, but turned his face to look out the window, a beautiful red sports car, driving towards the door of the restaurant.
"You're too anxious." Suddenly, someone said to him. He turned his face back in distraction and looked at Shao Tianqing who was standing at the table.
Shao Tianqing sighed and sat down in the place where Ye Xiaolei was sitting: "I said that I would guide her slowly, your impatience scared her away, and everything everyone did before was wasted."
He lowered his eyelids and did not defend his impatience.
"Back then, you were looking for Luoxia for ten thousand years, and I didn't see you anxious, but now, just a hundred years, you can't even wait for a moment. Well, now this meal, only the two of us have eaten. Shao Tianqing had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Bai Lirong, who had always been calm and calm, would even lose his mind sometimes.
"Hey," he sighed, and now, all he had to do was wait.
Outside the door, the red sports car stopped in the aisle, just blocking Ye Xiaolei who ran out. In the sports car, it was a woman wearing fashionable sunglasses, and the woman saw Xiaolei running out of the restaurant at night, so she drove after her.
Ye Xiaolei slapped her head frantically, she heard that someone wrote a book because she was too involved in writing, so she couldn't withdraw from her fantasies, and she developed a mental illness, and finally became a nervous disorder. No, she definitely doesn't want that!
Suddenly, she noticed that there was always a car slowly following her, she subconsciously turned her head, and the red sports car stopped beside her, on which was a woman wearing big sunglasses, almost half of her face covered by sunglasses, so that she could not see the woman's face clearly.
The woman beckoned to her, and she nodded to herself in confusion. The woman hooked her fingers, and she actually got into the car like an evil person, and when she came back to her senses, the sports car had already driven onto the road.
"What's going on?" She touched her face. The woman smiled beside her, "I used some spells." ”
"Spell, spell!" Ye Xiaolei screamed, almost wanting to jump out of the car, but the woman laughed: "We have been looking for you for a hundred years, why are you so afraid of us?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand! ”
"Tell me about your dreams!" The woman suddenly braked suddenly, and the sports car stopped on the side of the road in Yang Park, and she turned her face and began to look at Ye Xiaolei.
Ye Xiaolei looked at the woman in a daze for a long time, suddenly woke up, her emotions began to get out of control, and she emphasized loudly: "It's a dream!" It's a dream! ”
"But that dream felt so real!" The woman interrupted her emotionally, and her tone changed to a gentle tone with a faint smile, "Isn't it?" ”
Night Xiaolei became quiet, she sat in the car blankly, which made her, who lived in reality, how could she believe that everything was true?
"Originally, Mao Mao wanted to come to see you, but she stole the Heavenly Mirror Magic Pen, so now she is locked up by the Queen Mother. Normally, we don't find a mortal casually, but you are Ye Xilei. It took us a hundred years to find you, appear in front of you, and tell you that what you did was not a dream, but that your divine consciousness had traveled through a hundred years and became Ye Xilei. Whew..."
With a long exhale, he spat out from the woman's lips, "We arranged for Tianqing to be your boss, so that he could approach you smoothly, and then slowly tell you the truth of all this, but, was messed up by someone who was in a hurry..."
"Azure... Emperor? Ye Xiaolei looked at the woman again in disbelief, and the woman showed a wry smile: "I thought he wouldn't find out that I wasn't you, but I was wrong, it turned out that true love really can't deceive my heart..."
"You are..."
The woman took off her sunglasses, her peerless face, her silver pupils, and she smiled slightly: "Don't you all believe in crossing now?" How did it come to you and not believe it? Go, he is waiting for you, and if you don't believe him, I will bring him back to Heaven.
"Don't!" In a hurry, she hurriedly shouted, but after shouting, she hugged her head, "You let me get used to it."
"Okay." The woman put back on her sunglasses and turned on the music. Jan's music is relaxing.
Ye Xiaolei leaned on the back of the chair, closed her eyes, lay down for a long time, and then took a deep breath and opened her eyes: "Okay, I believe it." ”
"Yes, okay." The woman was satisfied, "In order not to disturb your life again, we will not appear again, and Bailirong will also become mortal."
"What!" She exclaimed, "He called mortal!" ”
The woman smiled: "There is a difference between immortals, he can't wait for you to become an immortal, so he only has himself to become a person." So, stop doubting him, his sacrifice is too great. ”
The smile on the woman's face was tinged with pain. This pain hit Ye Xiaolei's eyes, and her heart began to ache.
Suddenly, she opened the car door, turned around and closed it, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him!" ”
In the sun, the woman nodded in satisfaction, and the red sports car swept past her and disappeared into the distance. She took a deep breath, gripped the strap of her backpack, and turned firmly. Under the green trees, between heaven and earth, stood him in a white casual shirt.
He just stood silently, staring at her.
Time spanned a hundred years, and after a hundred years of searching, he finally met her again in the vast sea of people.
With a hint of unease, a hint of apprehension, and even a hint of unconfidence. He stood where he was, as if afraid that a step forward would scare her away.
He tried to reach out, but in the end, he didn't make any moves.
Pedestrians passed by them, and they stood like this, without looking at each other, without eye contact.
Finally, she took a step and put her foot right in the square tiles. Immediately, he raised his face with joy and strode towards her.
She didn't step forward until he walked in front of her.
She smiled, looked up at him and said, "Bailirong, are you willing to stay in the mortal world and spend the day eating instant noodles with me?" ”
All the gloom clouds spread from between his brows, and he took her hand: "I am willing, as long as you don't dislike me for being a mortal." ”
She lowered her head and smiled sweetly. He took his arm and strode forward happily.
"Who's in charge of the harem now?"
"Night Lonely Heng and Xuanji. They miss you so much and want to come and see you. ”
"No, I'm mortal now, wait until I get used to it."
"Heh... I understand. ”
"When did you find out that Luoxia wasn't mine?" She asked curiously.
He frowned slightly: "Do you want me to tell the truth?" ”
"Yes, to tell you the truth."
"It was when I kissed her."
"You, huh!"
"Look, I'm telling you the truth, you're not happy."
"Humph!"
"Stop humming, the snot is coming out."
"Humph! Hum! Hum! ”
The breeze blew through their distant figures, and an old man sweeping the garbage, stroked his long white beard, nodded and smiled. He looked up at the sky: "God, your happy ending, even I, the old gentleman, are jealous..."
"Down!" Suddenly there was a thunderbolt, and a strong wind blew all over the clean sidewalk, and the old man frowned, sighed, and began to sweep the floor.
He swept and whispered in his mouth:
"Sweep away the dust,
Two sweeps away the bitterness,
Three sweeps sweep away the hatred of the world,
Leave the truth to warm the world..."
