Ah Cheng listened to Qingruo's words while focusing all his attention on Xiao Ling.

"Can you feel love?" Ah Cheng repeated Qingruo's words, feeling a little incredible.

Qingruo nodded: "Once you feel this feeling, the water of this river will solidify, and it will no longer flow through your body so fluidly." And those who are in the middle of it will feel flustered. ”

Ah Cheng raised his eyebrows, thinking that the reaction between himself and Xiao Ling just now was, coupled with the effect of this river, his heart sank faintly, and the things that he had never wanted to face were broken.

"Impossible," Ah Chen denied Qingruo, "Love is both sides, Xiao Ling can't be for me... ”

Qingruo *** Bai said: "Then you admit that you have love for her?" ”

Ah Cheng choked, watching Xiao Ling walk towards them step by step, the way she walked on the water was simply beautiful.

"No, I love Zhang Wanyu." Ah Cheng said firmly, as if this was his own belief, and as if he was asking himself to believe in the facts.

Qingruo didn't argue with him, but said lightly: "Yes or no, it doesn't matter." Because I see the love that is about to happen, and it is indeed there. ”

Before Ah Cheng could answer, Xiao Ling had already approached: "This is amazing, is every child here growing up like this?" ”

The excitement was still on her face, and when Qingruo answered her, she was not as majestic as before, but seemed much kinder: "Being able to fly is a sign that a child has grown up." You've grown up. ”

This is the first sentence of two people after they know each other's identities and relationships. Xiao Ling asked naturally, and Qing Ruo also answered naturally, as if they had never experienced discord and unkindness before. After Qingruo answered, Xiao Ling's attitude became a little unnatural, facing this strange mother, she had too many questions and puzzles, which together constituted an excited emotion.

Although Ah Cheng wanted to participate in the joy of Xiao Ling's first flight, he understood that it was a critical moment for the mother and daughter, so he left silently.

Qingruo also stepped out onto the water, reaching out to inspect the cracked black cabins. Xiao Ling was still ignorant of what had just happened, but when he saw these fragments, his intuition still thought that he had messed up.

"There's your genetic energy on it, and if it's broken, will it damage you? I just felt distraught for a while, and then it exploded. ”

Qing Ruo didn't explain the same reason to Xiao Ling, but just collected those fragments: "This thing is originally like metabolized hair, and it will no longer be related to people." They burst into pieces because you are so strong that you are in a state like a baby being born. ”

Qingruo got up, looked at Xiao Ling's appearance, and patted her on the shoulder: "Now that you have repaired it, you no longer need my strength." You're a big girl, and you're able to support your own children. The finger slid down and placed it on Xiao Ling's stomach.

Xiao Ling frowned, thinking a lot in her mind, and Qingruo opened her brow with a finger in the depths: "Follow me, I will explain everything to you." Prior to this, based on the impression of being in the water prison and the floating island, Xiao Ling thought that the entire **** clan lived on the river and on the bank of the riverbed. It wasn't until Qingruo took Xiao Ling deep into the hinterland of the grass and walked to a secluded and peaceful place that she knew that the place under the desert was so extensive.

"The moon here is red?"

When the mother and daughter reached the compound, it was getting late. In front of Xiao Ling is a wide courtyard high on a hillside, all the walls are made of bamboo and wood, open the door, it is a spacious two-story building, and a rectangular pavilion, green and yellow color, looks simple and elegant, under the moonlight, it adds a warm atmosphere of the old era. But Xiao Ling didn't ignore that it all happened under a red moon.

Qingruo took Xiao Ling all the way to the pavilion and made a pot of hot tea for her before saying, "You should already know that everything here is hidden under the desert, an underground world. During the day, we can't see the sun, but at night, we can see the moon, which is over the desert and the water, which is red. ”

This answer doesn't seem to have any scientific basis, but Xiao Ling has no intention of asking it again, she has a lot of questions in her heart, for fear of using up the quota she can open. After thinking about it, I decided to ask what I was most concerned about.

"Why did you leave me in the first place?" Qingruo looked at the two-story building, a little distracted. Xiao Ling found that observing her mother up close was even more wonderful, as if she had seen herself more than twenty years later, nostalgic for the past in the way she was present, and felt sad.

"This yard has been around for more than 30 years. The first time I came here, it was in the early hours of the morning. At that time, he was mysterious and said that he wanted to surprise me. ”

Suddenly hearing his father's name shocked Xiao Ling's heart. She looked back at the small building blankly, imagining the appearance of bringing her mother here in the early morning, and the picture seemed to be the scene when Xiao Ziya saved herself and returned to the Xiao Mansion.

Qingruo continued to recall: "At that time, we didn't know that a catastrophe was coming. Ling Chen refused the family affairs set for him at home, gave up the title of general of the command center, and made a heavy oath not to fight with **** again. So we eloped here, and at that time this place was not so big, there was only one 'river of love'. He moved the bamboo and wood from the outskirts of the capital to create such a simple yard, but I liked it. ”

It turns out that this is the case, this place is where Ling Chen and Qingruo lived together.

"We spent a year here, and it was the best day of my life. Then I got pregnant, and I couldn't be happier in the early morning. He was so kind that he wanted to share this joy with his relatives, and he felt that when Admiral Ling knew the news, he would accept me, and he would also give up the crazy political ideas he once had. He offered to go back, and I had foreseen that it would be very dangerous, but the pregnancy had weakened my senses, and I would never have let him go if I had known that he was going to say goodbye. ”

After Qing Ruo said this, he paused, looked at Xiao Ling, and showed an old man's sadness on his face: "He didn't come back." At that time, a hatred of revenge arose in my heart. I used to love Ling Ling very much, and then all my love turned into hate. I left you in the capital for revenge. It wasn't until much later that I found out that I had made a big mistake, my daughter, that I hurt you. ”

Xiao Ling looked at Qingruo, pursed her lips, and tried her best not to let her tears fall.
