In recent days, he has appeared less and less.

Sometimes, Ah Miao even can't help but wonder if the Xie Xuan she has seen really exists. The man who was always dressed in black, and no one could see him except her.

Perhaps, he was indeed her hallucination.

On rainy days, Ah Miao took an umbrella and went for a walk by the river. Raindrops crackled down on the water, there was no one on the shore, and the empty path was so narrow that there was no end in sight.

She remembered that she had never asked Xie Xuan. Where did he live, and why did Sanwu come to see him from time to time, it seemed that as soon as she opened her mouth to ask, he would disappear.

But even though she didn't ask, he didn't show up again.

Since the day she was seventeen years old, he has become different from before, and the eyes that come to him are always inexplicably alienated.

The rain slowly began to fall overhead.

Ah Miao turned her head to look behind her and raised her eyebrows: "Why did you come here but didn't make a sound?" ”

Xie Xuan, who was dressed in black, stood there and sighed: "How did you know that I was here?" ”

A Miaowaner: "This place is deserted, and suddenly there are more people, how could I not know?" The smile on her face was faint, a polite and polite one.

She's got it.

The closer she got to him, the more distant he became.

This bastard, is he afraid that she will not be able to pounce on him?

Ah Miao scolded and gave him half of the umbrella. He didn't dodge, he only reached out and took the handle of the umbrella and said, "After today, you will be twenty-two years old, right?" ”

In the past five years, he has appeared almost exclusively on her birthday, and he has not stayed long, always leaving with her after dinner, as if he had come to eat.

But Ah Miao cooks the same dish every year, and he doesn't say whether it's good or not.

Heavy rain fell on the ground, splashing water.

Ah Miao dusted off her skirt: "Yes, twenty-two years old." She turned her face slightly and said with a smile about the matchmaker's visit a few days ago.

Xie Xuan didn't have a smile on his face.

He looked ahead, stared at the rain curtain outside the umbrella, and whispered, "It's been five years......"

When Ah Miao heard this, she paused her voice and smiled, and asked in a low voice, "What happened on that day five years ago?" After that, she thought desperately, thought over and over again, but still couldn't fill the gap.

She remembered everything before and after, but she couldn't remember anything about it.

This is obviously not a normal thing.

Ah Miao looked at him, and he finally said, "It's time to tell you, too." ”

Otherwise, in another two years, she will be aware of how dull she is. The appearance of people changes over time. Skin, bones, voice, eyes...... Everything changes.

Those who don't grow old will soon be distinguished.

Twenty-two-year-old Ah Miao can still be regarded as young, but what about twenty-five-year-old Ah Miao, thirty-year-old, and forty-year-old Ah Miao?

At that time, no one will think that she was born young.

No matter how well maintained, a forty-year-old cannot be exactly the same as a teenager.

Xie Xuan's voice was soft, as if he was trembling: "You are still only seventeen years old now. ”

"What?" Ah Miao was stunned for a moment and laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about, five years have passed, how can I still be seventeen years old?" ”

Xie Xuan looked at her fixedly under the umbrella: "Naturally, for you, you are not a seventeen-year-old person for a long time. But your body, from that day on, stopped changing. ”

Ah Miao's expression slowly became frightened: "I didn't understand what you meant. ”

Xie Xuan shook his head: "No, you have already heard it very clearly. ”

Ah Miao took a step back and retreated outside the umbrella.

The heavy rain immediately drenched her clothes.

"How is this possible?"

Xie Xuan moved the umbrella over: "Immortality, isn't it the thing that mortals want to pursue the most?" ”

There is history to prove this, and there is nothing wrong with that. Emperors of all generations wanted immortality. Because there are too many facts that people want to do and can do in the world, but people's lifespan has always been as fragile as a mayfly. In the eyes of monsters and gods, those short decades of life are just life and death.

The umbrella in his hand blocked the heavy rain, but Ah Miao was already soaked.

She shuddered, stretched out her hand to hug herself, and suddenly said, "Xie Xuan, will you marry me?" ”

Xie Xuan was completely defenseless, and his face changed greatly when he was asked: "...... you"

He couldn't speak, and Ah Miao asked again: "Will it be?" ”

Xie Xuan's fingers holding the handle of the umbrella were slowly tightened: "No." "The impermanence of the Soul Division, how can it be possible to marry people? He looked at her wet face, tiny droplets of water hanging from her eyelashes.

"Ah Miao." His voice was deep, "Go back, your clothes are wet." ”

Ah Miao stood in front of him, motionless, and suddenly sneered: "You won't marry me...... Okay, you Xie Xuan, you're really a bastard. ”

"Immortality, heh, why do you think it's called immortality? If a person is alive and a person is not old, is it considered to be happy? Originally, she looked at him and was satisfied.

Because she knew that she was going to die sooner or later.

Her short life doesn't necessarily mean that everything will go as she wishes.

She can not have a family, not have children, and not do what the world should do.

But if she doesn't grow old and die, what will her life become?

If he didn't want to be with her, why should he make her someone who wouldn't grow old?

Ah Miao stood under the umbrella coldly, and the droplets of water hanging from her eyelashes fell: "You have never been moved by me, have you?" ”

Xie Xuan lowered his eyes slightly: "There are thousands of men in the world, you."
