Chapter 452: Goodbye! [Below]
Fate seems to be divided into two roads in front of Li Tomb, one seems to be clear but full of thorns, and the other is hidden by the fog and cannot be seen clearly, but these two roads coincide in an instant, which makes Li Tomb originally feel that the road ahead is relatively clear, but also covered with a layer of fog that makes people dazed.
"There's a problem with that."
Li Tomb muttered in a low voice, and for the next few days, he stayed in his hotel room, trying to explain the problem with a reasonable reason, but he couldn't find it, he knew too little, so he couldn't find the answer.
Time did not allow him to think more about the subject, as the banquet that Caterina had prepared for him began. Caterina did not attend, the person who presided over the banquet was an earl, and Li Tomb did not know him, but judging by Lierenlong's attitude, this person should have a good position even in Caterina's camp.
Count Winster, as everyone called him, never talked much, Li Tomb knew that this person was also from the Xilin Empire, and was previously Katarina's butler, and later followed Catalina to betray the Xilin Empire. And Caterina reciprocated him with the position of earl, which made even low-ranking nobles like Lierenlong blush.
At the same time, the Earl of Winster will also be the leader of the team that will lead them to the main base of the Gene Lock Project. After paying a hundred copies of the inheritance of the ancient civilization in the tomb of Li, he finally had some understanding of what Caterina promised him.
"Your Excellency, you are in luck. Not every new member gets such an opportunity. ”
Earl Winster chatted with Li Tomb for a while, and from his tone, it seemed that Li Tomb had received this rare opportunity.
"I think my efforts deserve this opportunity."
Li Tomb spoke lightly, neither humble nor arrogant. Winster laughed and clinked glasses with Lee. "Sometimes, it's not about giving and getting something. Therefore, you should learn to be grateful, especially in the presence of beings who are greater than yourself. ”
Li Tomb was silent for a moment and nodded. "Taught."
"It's good to understand. Enjoy your feast. Although the Duke did not come, I know that she still values Your Excellency. Now you may feel like you're giving too much, but it's too soon you'll realize that it's worth it. ”
Winster smiled, didn't say anything more to Lee, and turned to talk to the others.
Li Tomb was expressionless, took a sip of wine, then put down his wine glass and walked to the garden.
The moonlight is good today. The moonlight swayed and fell in the garden, swaying like a flower, and Li Tomb's gaze fell on a white, closed stamen. This flower, which he was somewhat familiar with, if I remember correctly, seemed to be a flower called Moonlight Tan.
Peanuts for thirty years. Fall in one fell swoop. That is, the flower can grow for thirty years, but only once. After blooming, it is withering.
But no one knows which year of the thirty years this moonlight will open, and at this time, in the eyes of Li Tomb, the moonlight is slowly blooming, as if it has absorbed all the moonlight. Gorgeous, with a kind of unremarkable beauty.
"It's beautiful."
A voice sounded behind Li Tomb, Li Tomb did not look back, just quietly looked at the slowly blooming moonlight, thirty years of waiting. Thirty years of anticipation, just for this night of blooming, the flowers that bloom only once in a lifetime, are really gorgeous and incrediblely beautiful.
The footsteps behind him were very light and ethereal, and they seemed to be afraid of disturbing the elf in the moonlight, so they slowly came to the side of Li Tomb, and quietly watched everything, two people, one black and one white, one tall and one short, stood together, no one spoke, just quietly watched the moonlight bloom gorgeously.
It was thirty seconds, but it seemed like thirty years, when the petals of the moonlight withered little by little, turned into silver-white moonlight in the air, and shattered a little bit, and a more beautiful spectacle appeared in front of the two of them, those broken and withered petals, like the elves of the moonlight, gently rippled with the wind, like the waves in the water, slowly wandered over, and surrounded them into a beautiful halo.
It was so beautiful that the white and delicate fingertips that stretched out were a little afraid to touch it, afraid that if it was touched lightly, the extremely beautiful encounter would be shattered like fireworks in an instant.
There is a time when flowers bloom, and there is a time when flowers will end.
The enthusiasm of the moonlight with thirty years of accumulation blooms to the extreme at this moment, and then withers piece by piece, from the most beautiful to the most bleak, it does not take a lifetime, it only takes a short thirty seconds.
"It's a pity. I've been waiting for thirty years, and I've been coming to see it at this time every year, and I thought I'd miss it, but I didn't expect it to open at this time. Thirty years of waiting, it turned out to be worth it. ”
The voice was a little lonely, some relief, and some incomprehensible sadness and beauty, "It is said that if you can see the opening of the moonlight, you will be blessed with luck and get the most beautiful love." I don't know if it's true? ”
The figure suddenly became a little happy, carrying the white skirt corners, in the garden, under the moonlight, lightly jumping, spinning, among the moonlight petals that have not yet been completely broken, until that little bit of crystal beauty finally disappeared, the figure stopped, smiled softly, and stretched out his hand, "Hello, my name is Annie." Nice to meet you. ”
Just one sentence, Li Tomb suddenly had some irrepressible sadness, so that he took a step back quite embarrassed, and didn't even dare to look at those familiar eyes, memories and reality were intertwined across time and space, just like back then, she stood in the crowd, stretched out her hand, and invited him to dance, in that moonlight, in that despair, a dance.
"I'm glad to meet you, too."
Li Tomb finally calmed down, but his voice was a little hoarse like himself, he stretched out his hand and shook her gently, he thought she recognized him, but soon he knew that she didn't, her eyes were clear, with a little curiosity.
"It's strange, I feel like I've seen you, and it always feels familiar."
She tilted her head, trying to think.
"Really?"
Li Tomb looked at her deeply, although I don't know why she didn't remember, but it's a good thing, isn't it? Their past is filled with so much sadness, despair, and unsightliness that it is not a blessing to forget.
"It's weird."
She leaned closer, sniffed at him like a puppy, and wrinkled her nose, "Even the smell on his body is so familiar." It's like, it's like we've seen each other in our previous lives. ”
After saying that, she also seemed a little embarrassed, and stuck out her tongue, "I'm sorry, I seem to be too presumptuous." But do you feel the same way? ”
Li Tomb looked at her, and could see her anticipation from her clear gaze, and some shyness, but he just shook his head stiffly, and took a few steps back, "Sorry, I didn't ......"
"Oh......"
She lengthened her tone with some disappointment, then became happy again, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's not too late to meet now." By the way, you haven't told me what your name is? Is it also an aristocrat? ”
"I'm sorry, I still have something. So ......"
Li Tomb shook her head, she didn't want to say more, since she had forgotten some things, why should she remember them. I don't know what happened to her, or how fate wants to play with them, but if I forgot about it, let's forget it.
"Goodbye, then."
He opened his mouth, no longer looking at her eyes as clear as moonlight, turned around, and walked a little numbly towards the banquet hall, she remained in the garden, looking at his back a little strangely, and some confusion flashed in her eyes, she felt as if she had lost something, forgotten something important.
But what? She didn't remember, so she could only wave her hand blankly and say goodbye to him.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Sometimes, such an explanation is far more straightforward than a goodbye. He thought he would see her, but he didn't expect it to end like this, just a goodbye, that's all.
In those unbearable years, she seemed to be the only person who could bring him some warmth, but unfortunately things were not everything, goodbye, just never again.
When he turned and walked into the banquet hall, without looking back, and abandoned her in the garden, it seemed that the dust had settled, and he remembered that she had forgotten what a beautiful thing it was.
No longer wretched by memories, no longer saddened by the past, perhaps only she is the only one he knows who can truly be happy in this universe.
He can't, Yang Kitten can't, and Xia Yun'er can't either, but at least she's okay. Li Tomb suddenly felt that fate was even more cruel than he imagined, this was just Annie, he could still reluctantly say goodbye and cherish.
But what if it's Luoshui. If she forgot, if she couldn't remember it anymore, whether he should be happy for her or sad for himself, he didn't dare to think about it, because that fate was too cruel.
Even if he tried to forget his original narrow goal and chose to carry the fate of the entire race on his back, what a loneliness it would be if no one understood, not even her.
He suddenly felt breathless, and unimaginable palpitations strangled his throat like a poisonous snake, leaving him breathless, and he was still a little breathless until he followed Winster and the others to the ship to the main base of the Gene Lock Project.
When the spaceship fell deeper into the starry sky, crossed the distance of time and space, and disappeared into the vast star field, he still couldn't help but turn his head and look down, on that strange planet, it seemed that he could still see her happy life, which was really good.
"Mother, the moonlight is open, I saw someone last night, it seems to be very familiar, but I can't remember it......"
"If you can't think of it, forget it. After all, it's just a passerby. Come, follow me to your father. ”
Caterina smiled, led Anne through the garden, suddenly raised her head, looked at the vast starry sky, seemed to find the shadow of the ship, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"It should be him......" (To be continued......
