Chapter Eighty-Five: Hibiscus Blossoms in the Depths of Time

In the early summer of June, the hibiscus blossoms are as brilliant as brocade, and the whole town is in full bloom, looking like a painting from a distance.

The dense green leaves of the hibiscus flower are lined with delicate red flowers and elegant white flowers, red and white. Butterflies dance among the stamens, light and elegant, and birds perched on the branches sing in harmony with each other.

A man dressed in blue wanders among the flowers, the outline of his face as soft as a hibiscus flower, and his eyes flow with the quiet time of each day, without the slightest earthly trouble.

The majestic wind was blowing, swaying and colorful, and the petals were falling down, and he gently spread his palms to retain the fragrance of this moment, and put it into his heart together with beauty and hope.

Behind her, a graceful woman in white walked over, her unpowdered face was as elegant as the hibiscus, and she looked at the man like the whole world, and there was only the hibiscus and him in her world.

The man sensed her breath and smiled back, his smiling eyes quickly imprinted with her tender gaze.

"Hibiscus, I knew you were coming to me."

"When I woke up early in the morning and didn't see Xianggong, I knew that you were here again."

"I'd like to collect some hibiscus petals for you to make tea, and the petals with dew are the freshest in the morning."

"Xianggong, you are so good to me."

"No matter how good I am to you, I am not as good as you are to me. Hibiscus, you've done so much for me, and I haven't done anything for you. ”

"Xianggong, as long as you can stay with me in Hibiscus Town all the time, it will be the greatest good for me. Guess what delicious food I made for you today?

"Filling soup with snowflake porridge, right?"

"In addition to filling soup and snowflake porridge, there is also a little snow in the sand, which is the special pastry of Hibiscus Town, a dim sum made of flower sauce and glutinous rice noodles, we went to the town last time to buy it, you said it was delicious, so I learned to make it with Mother Liu."

"Hibiscus, your hands are so skillful, you have learned to make such complex dim sum as well?"

"As long as it is something that Xianggong likes to eat, I am willing to learn it."

"Hibiscus, with you in my mouth, it's here."

The man's expression was full of dependence and attachment, and he gently grabbed Hibiscus's shoulders and inserted the petals in the palm of his hand into her hair.

In an instant, the wind surged, her expression was full of emotion, and her eyes were moist.

"Xianggong, am I beautiful?"

"Hibiscus, do you know why I like to call you Hibiscus? Because you have the tenacity, simplicity, beauty, and eternity of the hibiscus flower, I see hope when I see you. ”

"Xianggong, if you are always with me in Hibiscus Town and never leave this town, will you feel tired?"

"Hibiscus, the moment you revived me, all I saw was you and the hibiscus flower in front of the window. At that time, I thought that I had come to heaven and that you were a fairy in heaven. Then I was very confused and nervous, I didn't know where I came from and where I was going. It was you who made me recover little by little, made me discover the beauty and peace of Hibiscus Town, and made my life light up again. Perhaps, it is my destiny to stay in Hibiscus Town, and since fate has placed me here, I have decided to settle down here. ”

"Xianggong, then you have to be a talker, you have to stay in Hibiscus Town and stay with me all the time, and never leave."

"Hibiscus, even if I want to go, I have nowhere to go, are you still worried that I will leave you?"

"But I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I won't see you again when I wake up one morning. ”

Who am I? Who the hell am I? The man's gaze shook like a wave, and he saw a majestic army of thousands of horses attacking him like a dark cloud, as well as some dusty and unreleased pictures, the waves wanted to squeeze out, and finally returned to a blank.

"Xianggong, what's wrong with you? Do you remember anything? Hibiscus pressed his temples and moved clockwise from side to side.

After the man's injury was healed, the sequelae was a menacing headache, the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, and the headache was splitting, and after his emotions stabilized, he said calmly: "I only remember that I am a soldier, otherwise I would not have been so seriously injured, I can't think of anything else, and I don't want to think about it." ”

"Xianggong, you have already experienced a fight, I don't want you to be in it anymore, promise me, forget the past, and be your current self."

"Okay, be who you are. You can rest assured Hibiscus, I will take you with me even if I go, I will not leave you alone. ”

"Xianggong, you are not allowed to lie to me."

"How so? Let's go, let's go around town in a moment, haven't you always wanted a hibiscus-colored skirt? I'll help you choose one, and by the way, I'm buying you a few boxes of rouge gouache. ”

"I thought Xianggong didn't like me to wear makeup, so I was plain every day, I was afraid that I was too glamorous, and you wouldn't like me."

"Hibiscus, I like you who are simple and elegant, and I also like you with a little light makeup, as long as you are not someone else, I will like it the same."

Hibiscus's expression throbbed, and her lips opened slightly, opening and falling several times, looking at him without saying anything.

"Hibiscus, do you want to say anything to me?" The man's gaze was gentle, completely different from the gaze he had when he used to fight on the battlefield, and now he and him together were like a pair of twin brothers who looked exactly the same......

"But I'm ...... I'm so afraid that the Guild will refuse to say it. Hibiscus looked hesitant, but finally didn't say anything.

The man put her hand in the palm of his hand, and looked serious: "Hibiscus, my life is yours, without you there would be no me, I will promise you whatever you say." ”

Hibiscus slowly raised her head and looked directly at him, her dark eyes were full of swarthy eyes, and she slowly said a sentence after a long time: "Xianggong, are you willing to marry me?" ”

After this sentence, the man's heart turned a little, I don't know if it was too heavy or too unexpected, he suddenly became silent.

Only the air and the breath of the two people were circulating, and the others seemed to be still, and the eyes of the two people froze for a long time in the eye of each other.

Tears rolled down Hibiscus's eyes, and she turned and left sadly, but her hand was tightly grasped, and the man had already embraced her into his arms.

"Hibiscus, it's not that I don't want to marry you, it's that I'm afraid that you will suffer if you follow me, and I don't even know who it is? I'm afraid that if you follow me in a daze, you will regret it one day. ”

"Xianggong, from the moment I rescued you, I was determined to take care of you for the rest of my life, as long as I could be with you, I was not afraid of anything. No matter who you are, I will stay with you in this hibiscus town for the rest of my life, never leave it, and never leave hibiscus town for the rest of my life. ”

"Hibiscus, it's my blessing to be able to marry you, as long as you are willing to marry me, I am willing to marry you."

Hibiscus smiled happily, but tears rolled down her cheeks, as if she had been waiting for this moment for hundreds of years.

"Hibiscus, why are you crying? Don't you want to marry me? ”

"Xianggong, do you know how many days and nights I've been waiting for this moment?"

The man's expression was puzzled, imagining the time they had met, and Hibiscus hurriedly said, "I like a red wedding dress like fire, and I will wear such a wedding dress to marry you in the hibiscus forest." ”

"Then let Mother Liu be the officiant of our marriage, Mingming and Liangliang will be the golden boy and jade girl for us, let's go, let's go buy wedding clothes and buy wedding ......"
