In front of Ye Shengji, Barren took Jiang Zhige's hand, gently put the pilgrimage phoenix bead back into her palm, closed her hand again, raised her eyes, and said softly.

"But ......"

Jiang Zhige hesitated, and wanted to return the pilgrimage phoenix bead to the barren again, but was stopped by him with a look.

"Jiang Zhige, you are very noisy, you know."

Barren took her hand, completely ignoring Ye Shengji's black face the whole time, and wanted to take her out of here.

But they heard Ye Shengji whispering behind them, almost roaring: "Barren, you don't have to rely on yourself to be the lord of the five continents, I, Ye Shengji, should let you." Don't forget, this world is not unchangeable. ”

"If I say, I'm not here to take Jiang Zhige away as the Lord of the Five Continents. It's that, as a man, I can't bear to see her sincerity trampled on here, is this reason enough? ”

Barren glanced at Ye Shengji indifferently, and did not mean to give up Jiang Zhige at all.

On the contrary, he held Jiang Zhige's hand tightly and never let go.

At this moment, it was not only Ye Shengji who was surprised, but also Jiang Zhige.

Her eyes widened, her mouth wide open, speechless with astonishment, and even for a moment, she thought she had misheard the barren words.

In her opinion, the barrenness that has always been cold and desolate is absolutely impossible to stand up as a man to protect her, a noisy woman.

Unless, in his eyes, too, he treats her as a flicker.

"Barren, you recognize the wrong person. I'm not a fool, and I'm not someone you've been waiting for a hundred years. ”

Jiang Zhige explained seriously.

Before she could open her mouth, she heard Ye Shengji behind her, and sighed softly: "Silly girl, are you really stupid......"

Jiang Zhige didn't know why, and looked at Ye Shengji suspiciously, but saw that he lowered his head and was silent, the broken hair on his forehead covered his eyes, and his expression also made Jiang Zhige unpredictable.

"Jiang Zhige. I'll just say it once, you listen. ”

Barren turned Jiang Zhige's body, held her face in the palm of her hand, affectionate as snow, and said slowly and seriously word by word-

"Jiang Zhige. I'm sure and know that you're unique, Jiang Zhige. And not a substitute for any one person. Even if, this person, is a flicker. You're not hers either, a substitute. ”

"In my eyes, it doesn't matter who you are or what your name is. The important thing is that even I don't know when it started, your figure has lingered. ”

"I'll admit that I like to bully you, but I prefer to see you smile heartlessly and happily. I don't know why I'm trying to protect you like a nosyman. But it is clearly understood that all this has nothing to do with the slightest. ”

"I also know that I used to love Eran. I waited for her for a hundred years, and I once thought that there would be no more women to make my heart move. Until, inexplicably, I met such a you in the vast desert, Jiang Zhige. ”

"You know what? Actually, you are very different from her. She is very responsible, very gentle, and takes the world as her own responsibility. And you, but you are naughty and don't go through the world. I don't know what kind of ability you have to make me ban you repeatedly. ”

"But in the end, I finally woke up - you, Jiang Zhige, are true, easily, and inexplicably, and you walked into my world, and since then, it has been out of control."

"Since you walked in, then, don't blame me, I won't allow you to go out anymore."

"Jiang Zhige, I think, about you, I'm tempted."

"Not on a whim, but, far away, far away that even I can't estimate."

The moonlight was immensely sprinkled on the barren and beautiful and clear face, illuminating his earnestness, his certainty, and his apprehension at a glance.

He was so eager as a fire that had been frozen for many years that had broken through the ice field, and he looked at Jiang Zhige deeply with heat and almost longing, and spread his sincerity in front of her on the brilliance of the starlight.

He was saying to himself - barren, you are probably hopeless, admit it, you are jealous when you see her and Ye Shengji together. And, this time, you've fallen.

Very thoroughly.

Jiang Zhige raised her eyes and met the heat in her barren eyes, as if a meteor crossed his eyes and a beautiful light fell to the bottom of her heart, which moved her at that moment.

But she didn't see Ye Shengji behind her, and there was desperate pain in her eyes.

"Jiang Zhige, come with me, it's better than deceiving me in this deep palace. I can wait for you, the same, to fall in love with me. ”

Barren gently pulled Jiang Zhige and hugged her in front of his broad chest, warming her with his temperature.

"Jiang Zhige, are you serious, do you want to go with him?"

Ye Shengji's figure was dragged by the moonlight for a long time, extending to the lonely corner, and only the cold air counted the unspoken ones that belonged to him.

His words were low and pleading, and even he didn't know why this woman's decision was so swaying his mood.

At that moment, he felt his heart tearing, painful.

However, he didn't have a chance to tell her that he was conflicted, more contradictory than he imagined.

More reluctant than he imagined, her departure.

He was so afraid, her departure was for a lifetime. So, where is he going to find her?

Unexpectedly, he has already regretted it.

Jiang Zhige, don't answer, even if you stay at this moment, it's okay if you're by my side.

However, Jiang Zhige still slowly opened her mouth-

"Ye Shengji, our encounter, as far as you are concerned, is a blood Gu technique that you don't want to love. At the beginning, the woman you had in mind was not me, so you don't have to worry about the emperor's wedding. Now that you've decided the big picture, I want to see how wonderful this world is. Since everything began with a beautiful misunderstanding, we can walk away generously and stylishly. ”

"So, I decided, leave."

Jiang Zhige always turned her back to Ye Shengji, and resolutely did not look back, from beginning to end, she kept her head down.

And the sadness and reluctance in her eyes shone on the frost on the ground, an emotion that could be easily captured by the barrenness standing in front of her.

However, Ye Shengzhen behind her couldn't see or understand how hard she had worked to tell him what she said.

"Jiang Zhige, if, I miss you in the future, what should I do?"

Ye Shengji took a deep breath, stared at her thin back, and said slowly.

"Ye Shengji. You can't think of me. ”

Jiang Zhige's tears fell to the ground with a bang.

What she didn't say was—

I'm so afraid, as soon as you say you miss me, I'm going to have to find a way to come over.

So, Ye Shengji, you can't miss me.
