Chapter 100: The same
This night, after Bai Ling returned to the house, his mood still couldn't calm down for a long time.
She kept thinking back to Wei Ying's last words - Wei Ying said that she "seeks death while surviving".
That's true......
But what is his so-called "real way of life"?
Before the girls returned, Bai Ling quickly sewed a shallow pocket on the inside of the back hem of the garment, and the dagger was light enough to be easily carried around.
As he fell asleep, Bai Ling listened to the familiar sound of breathing, and couldn't help but grasp the handle of the dagger once moreβa long-lost sense of peace returned.
She suddenly remembered that when she was in middle school, at a sports day, the class teacher gave her and another boy the task of writing a class introduction at the same time. Two introductory words came out - what the boy wrote was that he had a heavy sword in his hand and dared to bind the dragon; And what she wrote was to be shocked by the Nine Heavens Palace, and she was afraid of my three-foot thin blade.
Later, when I was in college, I wanted to send the theme of the old party, and the counselor solicited opinions from all the staff, and she wrote a "dream building in the passing years" and handed it in, which was noticed by the head of the department at a glance, but the high-spirited young director changed the "building" to "casting". It still reads the same, but the mood is completely different.
There are many more such things, and after colliding again and again, Bai Ling is almost faintly aware that his perspective is indeed different from that of men.
Even in these grand narratives, she writes with a more resolute, fragile texture β a more "childish" style, in her father's assessment.
Her instincts are more inclined to those things that are more beautiful and delicate, but beauty is fragile, and delicate is destructible...... There are always two sides to the story.
She also once stared at the sentence "The heavy sword dares to bind the dragon in her hand" for a long time, she really can't write this kind of weight, she doesn't like the heavy sword, and she didn't think about "binding the dragon", but when this column of words appeared in front of her eyes, she would still be moved by the surging and majestic momentum in the meantime.
But this kind of impression also made her feel more and more different from the other party.
"Boling." In the darkness, Ai Songqing's voice came, "Are you still awake?" β
"Hmm." Bai Ling replied softly, "Awake." β
In the darkness came the sound of Ai Songqing lightly stepping on the ground, just like in an old tower, she leaned over beside Bai Ling, Bai Ling evened half of the pillow, and shook the quilt again, covering half of her body.
ββ¦β¦ Have you really decided that you want to stay in Baihuaya? Ai Songqing asked in a low voice.
"Hmm."
"How do you want to stay?"
"I'm not sure about the specifics." Bai Ling closed his eyes and whispered, "But I have news that every year in May, the people in the golden wire cage will also come to visit. β
"Golden Silk Cage......" Ai Songqing suddenly understood, "You want them to fall in love with you?" β
"Hmm." Bai Ling replied again, "As long as the price at the bottom is high enough, it won't really be bought." Because the people in the golden cage will bid together, but in the end, they only need to use five achievements of the final price to receive people from the bustard - this is the rule in Baihuaya. β
"Only fifty percent ......?" Ai Songqing was stunned, "Then how could the bustard mother agree to let them buy you?" β
"Because of the money earned in the first three years, the bustard mother can also share fifty percent." Bai Ling said softly, "Bustard Niang will definitely not let herself lose money." β
Ai Songqing was a little puzzled, "...... But a few days ago, she seemed to have calculated that you would follow the little marquis. β
"I told the bustard mother early in the morning that I wanted to stay, but she didn't believe it." Bai Ling laughed, and adjusted the position of her shoulders slightly in the dark, "Besides, the more people who are bidding together, the better it will be for her." β
Ai Songqing was silent for a long time before he sighed, "...... I didn't believe it before. β
"Huh?" Bai Ling was a little surprised, "...... But the reason, I should have told Songqing? β
Ai Songqing didn't answer immediately, she gently stroked the raised skin under her shoulders - the flower yard that had been stabbed a few days ago was still slightly hot at the moment.
"I remember...... I remember Burling's reasoning.
"You know, when I was taking a shower today, I saw a lot of people secretly rubbing their tattoos, and some of the blood was rubbed out." Ai Songqing said in a low voice, "Obviously, everyone has been told not to touch the water before......"
Bai Ling opened her eyes slightly, and she looked in the direction of Ai Songqing, "What about Songqing?" β
Ai Songqing shook his head, "I couldn't help but want to do it, but then I thought of you...... If Boling were by my side, I would have stopped doing such a useless thing. β
Bai Linggang wanted to nod her head and compare it to the last hunger strike, but somehow she suddenly remembered the scene of washing her hands over and over again in the back of the palace courtyard last winter.
At this moment, she suddenly couldn't say a word.
After a long time, Bai Ling raised his hand and gently stroked the flower yard under his left shoulder.
"It's all ...... It's the same......"
"What's the same?" Ai Songqing asked softly.
Bai Ling shook her head, she frowned a little sadly, she raised her hand and put her forearm on her forehead, and said softly, "...... Go to bed early, Songqing. β
"Can you wait a little longer, I still have something to say to you......"
Bai Ling looked sideways, "What's wrong?" β
"If Bai Ling has already decided to stay here...... Ai Songqing said in a low voice, she clutched the sheets, "then I want to ...... Stay. β
Bai Ling didn't speak for a long time.
Ai Songqing waited for a while, and then asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, "...... May I? β
"The decision is in Songqing's own hands," Bai Ling said softly, "...... I can't promise you that it's better to stay than to leave. β
"I understand." Ai Songqing whispered, she also closed her eyes in the dark, and said with some determination, "But I ...... I still want to take a gamble. β
β¦β¦
In May, the weather is getting hotter.
As the time for the dental shop to buy and sell is approaching, many of the dance workshop's big classes have already closed. The pain was unimaginable - the girls lived on the top floor of the tower, and every day when the sun came out, the whole top floor was scorched like a steamer, and the room was horribly hot.
If you don't open the window, the room will be unbearably stuffy, but as soon as you open the window, the whole room will instantly heat up.
This kind of heat can not be lowered slightly until the end of the day when the sun sets.
Dusk is the most comfortable time of the day, when all the windows are completely open and a few cool wisps of cool breeze blowing in are enough to be comforting.
However, when the evening passed, the mosquitoes increased, no one dared to light the lights in the house, and the noise of the streets made the noise even more irritating on a hot summer night.
At the beginning of April, the bustard had promised to veil their windows as soon as possible, but now that a month has passed, there is no news about it.
It's only in May, it's already hot, and it's hot in June...... I really don't know what to do.
The girls could only grit their teeth and endure and look forward to it.
Waiting for the ninth day of the fifth month, waiting for the tooth shop that belongs to them.
