Chapter 198: Manzhu Warsaw (5)
Day 5.
From early morning to dusk, Ji Qian has been reading books in the bookstore. However, Ye Chen did not appear.
Ji Qian asked herself in her heart what was wrong, except for picking up a photo of herself many years ago, that person and her were just a meeting in Pingshui.
Reason told Ji Qian, while nothing had happened between the two, forget about him quickly, forget him...
However, she couldn't control her thoughts. Ji Qian left the bookstore and walked into the crowded subway station, remembering that Ye Chen told her that she was here when he first met her.
Suddenly, she heard the strange singing voice again. She suddenly felt the fear of death, and the originally hot blood vessels dropped to freezing point at once, and the whole person seemed to freeze.
She rushed out of the subway station and ran forward through the streets shrouded in darkness. The song was like a pair of invisible legs, closely following her. She has nowhere to hide.
Suddenly, Ji Qian bumped into a person, but she couldn't feel the temperature of the other party. However, she saw those mysterious eyes: "Ye Chen! β
She cried out in surprise and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. And a pair of more powerful hands also wrapped around her from her waist, and a calm voice sounded in her ears: "Don't be afraid, I'll send you home." β
Ji Qian snuggled in Ye Chen's arms and walked forward, the sound of the wind and the strange singing voice mixed together, passing by his ears quickly.
Finally, she shook off the sound and went downstairs to her house. The night was dark, and everything looked like a dream.
Ye Chen helped Ji Qian's still trembling body upstairs, and after entering the house, Ji Qian still didn't want to leave his embrace, and asked in horror: "How do you know that I am there?" β
"Probably... It's a coincidence. He helped Ji Qian sit on the sofa, let go of her hand holding him tightly, and said softly: "It's okay, you have a good rest, I'm leaving." β
"Don't go." Ji Qian grabbed Ye Chen's arm again, feeling his hand tremble as well.
"Do you know what you mean by that?"
"I know..."Ji Qian nodded tearfully, she suddenly felt unforgettable loneliness at the moment, she wanted the man in front of her to stay very much, "I'm afraid, I'm really scared, I need you." β
Tears were slowly sliding down her cheeks, and Ye Chen reached out to wipe her tears, "Don't cry." The warm liquid dripped onto the back of his hand and seemed to melt him.
"Hopefully you won't regret it."
"I did it willingly."
In the dark room, she couldn't see anything else, except for Ye Chen's eyes.
When Star Swirl sees that something is wrong, she enters the password and returns to Mr. X's apartment.
Seeing her shy, Mr. X looked at her with some confusion.

Day 6.
Ji Qian's fingers rubbed the pattern on the corner of Ye Chen's wallet and asked, "Is this Manzhu Warsaw?" β
"I'll tell you a story."
The early morning light shone through the curtains, silently flowing over them. Ji Qian and Ye Chen's eyes met, and there was a wave of tenderness and sweetness in their hearts.
Ye Chen's voice continued to echo in her ears: "According to legend, a long, long time ago, the edge of K City was full of large expanses of flowers from the other side - that is, Manzhu Shahua.
Guarding the flowers on the other side are two goblins, one is a flower demon called Manzhu, and the other is a leaf demon called Shahua. They have been waiting for thousands of years, but they have never been able to see each other with their own eyes...
Because you can't see the leaves when the flowers open, and you can't bloom when the new leaves grow. Between the flowers and leaves, they can never see each other, and they are wrong.
However, they miss each other madly and are deeply tormented by this pain. Finally, one day, they decided to meet secretly against God's rules. β
"And then?" Ji Qian asked with some expectation.
Ye Chen's expression was a little sad, "That year, the delicate flowers of Manzhu Sahua were set off by the eye-catching green, and they bloomed extremely bewitchingly and beautifully.
But God blamed him for this. Manjoo and Sahua were thrown into reincarnation, cursed to never be together, and suffered in the world for the rest of their lives.
Since then, the flowers can only bloom on Huangquan Road. Every time Manzhu and Shahua are reincarnated, they smell the fragrance of flowers on the other side of the Huangquan Road, and they can think of themselves in their previous lives, and then vow not to be separated again, but they will fall into the cursed reincarnation again. β
After telling this story, Ye Chen let out a long breath, and that breath and eyes were as if he was the reincarnation of Manzhu or Warsaw.
Ji Qian was affected by the resentment of this story, and her hand holding Ye Chen tightened, she sighed and said, "I hope that the couples in this world will not go through such an ordeal." β
Ye Chen's expression became a little painful, he put his head deep into his arms, was silent for a while, got up and began to dress.
"You're leaving?" Still immersed in the desolate atmosphere of Manzhu Warsaw, Ji Qian looked at Ye Chen stupidly.
"I'm leaving, maybe I shouldn't have been here in the first place." His tone was a little remorseful.
"Do you regret it?" Ji Qian grabbed his hand and looked up into his eyes.
Ye Chen didn't start, no longer let her look at her eyes, and said lightly: "I'm sorry..."
"You don't need to apologize to me, I'm willing, even if you still want to maintain an ordinary friend relationship with me..."
"You're so stupidβ" his voice became so bleak for the first time.
Ji Qian couldn't keep her lover.
Ye Chen left her room without looking back and walked down the stairs quickly. Ji Qian followed him closely, but he walked faster and faster in front, and Ji Qian was unwilling to give up until he followed his figure into the subway station.
At this time, it was the rush hour of work, and the subway station was crowded, and Ye Chen disappeared from her field of vision. A train had just entered the station, and the flow of people who were in a hurry to get on the train squeezed her backwards.
Ji Qian shuttled through the strange crowd, looking around, she couldn't find Ye Chen, and tears gradually blurred her vision.
Ye Chen left and never came back. Ji Qian still waited for him in the bookstore every night, hiding alone in the last row of the bookshelves, and would rush out when he heard footsteps.
At night, she wanders around the subway station like a ghost, hoping to meet Ye Chen again until the last train arrives at the end.
When she got home, she would always cover the bedroom door for Ye Chen, as if he would push the door in at that moment.
She no longer waited for Ye Chen to come back all the time.
"She's so pathetic." Star Swirl pulls the cat's paw away from the back of Mr. X's hand, a faint sadness in her clear eyes.
"Hasn't she felt it yet?"
"It's going to be soon."
