Chapter 62: Grief is a matter for two people
On the shores of the Holy Lake, in the morning.
Xiao Jiu was holding the white cat and still sitting on the eaves of the igloo.
It seems that nothing has happened, but in fact everything has happened.
Last night, the boy broke up with the girl.
Last night, the princess who made promises and prayers in the dark.
Last night, the princess of the Ossian Empire spent the night with her in this humble igloo.
Then the next morning, she sat on the eaves of the igloo as usual.
In a daze, as well as others.
In a sense, she had done everything she could last night, and she actually had nothing but the status of the princess of the empire. Even though a year ago, she gave up this identity in her own name, but last night a year later, she chose to regain that identity because of the need.
Ao Xuehua said goodbye to her long before dawn, it was very dangerous to stay in Lanyin that night, so Ao Xuehua should not and did not want to take risks, but this did not prevent her from wanting to investigate after dawn.
After all, as soon as the Empire's troops were officially stationed at noon, then everything would be settled.
Ye Qing didn't go, because for her, she was Xiao Jiu first, and then the imperial princess with a heavy surname, she didn't want to see those soldiers who would bow down to her, and because she had more important things here, she had been doing this for nearly a year, and if nothing else, she would have to stay by this lake for two years.
To be precise, she sits here more to wait for someone.
Behind her was the vast expanse of the lake, blue and vast, and she sat in the morning light, which, as is always the case, the boy would come from that side in a short time.
Wave to her and call her Xiao Jiu.
So although she regained her ability to speak last night, she didn't have a suitable person to communicate with, and if she really counted, she had the pure white cat in her arms.
Xiao Jiu bit his lip and said softly, "Hey, Fengying." You say, if he comes, should I forgive him? ”
"Obviously we've known each other for so long, obviously I really like him, but why, he's willing to say I hate it for a guy I just met."
"How can you forgive that idiot? Unless, Anning's mother comes forward, I will reluctantly accept his apology. ”
The white cat meowed softly.
"So it's not a lie to say that he's a big idiot." Xiao Jiu said: "Why can't he see it, I'm just unhappy, although that lantern is beautiful, but how rare can I be." ”
Yes, she is the princess of the entire empire, and all the land under her feet is hers, so what about her, she will be able to look at the lantern of the blue rhinoceros.
"If you really want to give it to someone else, why don't you ask for my opinion." Xiao Jiu bit his lip: "Do you really think I'm that kind of little guy." ”
"It's obviously my brother alone." She muttered to herself, "Why, after only a moment's absence, he can take another girl's hand." ”
Xiao Jiu looked at the calm winter plain, and naturally there was no figure of the boy.
She bowed her head, tears rolling down her face.
With a slightly nasal voice, the last five words were spoken:
"I hate you the most!"
The white cat looked at the droplets of water that flowed from the girl's cheeks, and curiously leaned in to lick it, and then realized that the shiny thing was not at all palatable, with a salty taste.
At this moment, the white cat suddenly became alert, its claws poked out, its fur stood on end, and it shrank back in fear in the girl's arms, and let out a slight threatening whining.
Someone's coming!
Xiao Jiu raised her head in surprise, there were still light cyan tears on her face, but the smile froze the moment she raised her head, she gritted her teeth and said coldly: "What are you doing here?" ”
It was a black figure, and under the wide mage's hood were pure, bright hair and eyes, like solidified flames.
Xiao Jiu has already seen her peerless face, but she doesn't have a good impression at all.
The black-clothed mage quietly raised his hand and handed out a folded piece of snow-white paper.
Xiao Jiu didn't know what to do, but curiosity drove her to reach out and take it.
When I opened it, there were black words on the white letterhead, and the familiar handwriting Xiao Jiu would definitely not admit it.
It's Ge Sheng.
Xiao Jiu couldn't wait to sweep the first line of text, and then his expression was instantly stunned.
The black-clothed mage watched quietly, watching the tears gradually rising in Xiao Jiu's aqua blue eyes, and watching the first crystal teardrop fall down his chin.
"Idiots, idiots, idiots, idiots! Idiot! Idiot Idiot. When Xiao Jiu saw the last word, she kept repeating the two same words in her mouth, until her tone changed from murmuring to angry scolding to weakness and repetition, she tore the white paper to shreds with both hands, held it in her palms and froze into cold snow cubes, and then she couldn't suppress her hands to cover her cheeks, and a low sobbing sound came from the princess's throat.
The black-clothed mage looked at the girl who was out of shape in front of him, and his eyes like autumn water at sunset could not see any emotion.
"Sorry, I don't know, what words of comfort to say."
Xiao Jiu tried her best to turn her face away, and then she realized that she was crying in front of the person she least wanted to see, so she jumped off the eaves in embarrassment, stumbled and fell directly on the rough sand and stone, a stone pierced her knee, and blood gushed out immediately.
With such a real tingling sensation, Xiao Jiu almost forgot the last time he was so embarrassed.
But she bit her lip, wiped away her tears, reached out to pluck the stone, and recited the familiar and unfamiliar incantation.
The levitation technique that used to be so simple for her is now so difficult to do.
She didn't know what she was doing, she just instinctively wanted to leave, she wanted to run away.
At least, don't want to cry in front of that person.
……
……
Ge Sheng stood there, watching the black-clothed mage calmly hand over the letter he had written to Xiao Jiu.
Listen to the countless idiots that the girl spoke like a cannon.
Watching her cover her face and cry.
Watch her run away in a hurry.
Ge Sheng couldn't describe how he felt, as if he had destroyed everything he once cherished.
He stood in the barrier that the black-clad mage had created for him, where no one could see him, but he could hear and see everything outside.
So when Ge Sheng saw Xiao Jiu fall to the ground and his white dress stained with blood, he couldn't help but want to rush out anymore.
But that barrier also cut off the two worlds.
"Am I doing something wrong?" Ge Sheng asked, when the black-clothed mage returned to his side.
"I don't know." She said. "But she's sad."
Ge Sheng looked at his hands, and suddenly he didn't know what he had done.
Last night, he asked the girl next to him for a pen and paper, and wrote his farewell on the plain white paper.
……
……
"Xiao Jiu, or, Ye Qing, Her Royal Highness the Princess.
After the first meeting, my mother told me that you are a great person, but I never imagined that you would be like that.
Perhaps, many people will be happy and happy to know someone as powerful as you.
But I don't.
The Xiao Jiu I know is the one who smiled sideways like a fledgling and held up the sand table to me and said, "Jokes, don't take it seriously." "Child.
The Xiao Jiu I know is the one who raised the ice plate with a smile on the water and said, "Drink water first." Then he grabbed my ankle and dragged him down.
The Xiao Jiu I know is the one who will open his arms around me and whisper in my ear: "I mean, are you good at being my brother?" My sister.
I like you a lot, I remember saying that.
I've thought so many times that I wish I could protect your smile.
Until death.
Until, yesterday.
I still can't understand your behavior at that time, such unreasonable and willful arrogance, and that irresponsible last sentence made me very, very unhappy.
Then, I learned who you are.
I see the most honorable men in the entire Lanyin City kneeling respectfully in front of you, and I see the people of the entire Lanyin City bowing down to you like a black ocean.
That's when I realized that the distance between me and you was unimaginably far.
I finally understand why you're so often in a daze, and why you know almost everything.
We are in different worlds, and it is fortunate and sad that we occasionally intersect.
Thank you, I had the happiest time of my life with you.
But.
And that's all.
It is impossible for a princess to have a commoner brother, and in the same way, I cannot have a sister who is a princess.
Goodbye, Xiao Jiu.
This is also the last time I will call you that. ”
