6. Romantic love under the cherry blossom rain (1)
"Is Harumi-sama here?"
When I opened the door early in the morning, the people in front of the door were respectful.
"This is the mind of the right minister, Ping Wucheng."
Following his gesture, several carriages of silk and silk stopped in front of the door.
"No need."
"Sunny Bright"
I looked back and saw that he was dressed in a white single coat, casual and comfortable.
"Go back and tell the right minister Ping Wucheng, if you really want Xie Qingming, it's better to be kind to the people."
The attendant in front of the door was full of embarrassment.
Who doesn't know that the money of the right minister Ping Wucheng is black, our Qingming is justice, and we don't accept stolen money!
"Qingmingβ"
A clear greeting came, and Yuan Boya was dressed in a dark color and refreshed.
"Master Boya!"
I'm very happy, last time thanks to Yuan Boya's several rescues, otherwise I don't know what it would have become. I haven't had time to say thank you yet!
"At the beginning of March, the cherry blossoms are blooming, so let's bring honey worms to enjoy the flowers."
Oh, I can't see it, Yuan Boya is quite childish. Looking at his face full of excitement and anticipation, can we not agree?
"It's okay, it's time to change your mood when you send demons to exorcise demons from the sky. Honey worm, take a good look at the cherry blossom scene of Yamato thousands of years ago, and make sure you don't regret it! β
Qingming thought about it for a while, of course, she wouldn't sweep away Yuan Boya's interest, and readily agreed. Don't forget to point at me and make jokes.
Yuan Boya smiled like a child, innocent and happy, and couldn't hide his excited look: "Let's hurry up!" β
I'm happy, we're going on ββββ outing!
The cherry blossoms in full bloom on the mountain are gorgeous and charming, and the trees are full of clouds. The pink cherry blossoms are extremely beautiful and delicate, and from time to time delicate petals fly down.
This is what the world is famous for me but I didn't have the chance to see - cherry blossom rain?
I looked left and right, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden - this is also rare, and that is also a treasure. From time to time, he also asked questions around Qingming.
"Is this also unusual?"
Qingming asked with a smile, a little spoiled.
"Of course!"
I'm right. This is the first time I've had the pleasure of seeing cherry blossoms!
"I ask you, what's the most charming about cherry blossoms?"
"Charming everywhere!"
I pushed back.
"The most fascinating thing about cherry blossoms is their spirit."
"Spirit?"
I'm curious.
"That's right! When the cherry blossoms fall, they are not dirty, and they are crisp and neat. Life is short, and life is as brilliant, pure and beautiful as cherry blossoms. Even if you die, you should leave decisively. β
Is he talking about the spirit of bushido?
I puffed out my mouth: people's good interest in enjoying flowers has been ruined by him!
"That'...... Qingmei, did you know that cherry blossoms also have another spirit that is beautiful! β
I blinked, motioning for Qingming to guess.
Qingming smiled but didn't answer, and didn't even bird a bird at my question.
I got angry and stabbed him:
"Sakura also has a spirit called perseverance. Waiting in an infinite cycle of life symbolizes eternal and unchanging love for a lifetime. β
Obviously, my words did not elicit the slightest approval from him, and they were exchanged for a blow from a folding fan.
He must have thought I was naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, stupid to the extreme.
The pink cherry blossom petals fell lightly on his shoulders, the wide white hunting clothes fluttered in the wind, the thick inside, the eyebrows that flew obliquely into the temples, the starry eyes were moving, and the rouge-like thin lips were slightly hooked, like a smile but not a smile, and the cherry blossoms flying in the sky were more soft and charming.
"Qingming......" I was stunned and couldn't help but call softly.
The fair-skinned face smiled, raised his eyebrows lightly, and raised his voice:
"What's wrong?"
I came back to my senses, ran to him with joy, and pulled his sleeve: "You are so handsome today!" β
Qingming showed a look of disdain, and my answer was very brain-dead. However, the smile in his eyes was even stronger.
Stroll side by side with him in the cherry blossom rain and feel the breath of spring.
After walking for a long time, he stopped and asked, "What about Boya?" β
Learned? I looked around, and it was too bad that there was no sign of Boya.
"Not good! Honey worm, go find him! β
Qingming was taken aback.
"Lord Boya! Boya-sama! Where are you? β
Qingming and I looked for him separately, and after looking for a long time, there was still no trace of him.
Walking through the cherry blossom forest, there are cherry blossoms in full bloom everywhere, exactly the same. I felt uneasy, how could I walk around like I was walking through a labyrinth?
If I continue like this, I will really get lost, I hurriedly turned back to find the way back, and my eyes lit up suddenly--Master Boya!
"Lord Boya! Boya-sama! β
I hurried to him, and no matter how much I called him, there was no response. I saw him standing in a field of cherry blossoms, and his dark figure was particularly eye-catching. The cherry blossoms here are very enchanting, and the petals are red like the setting sun, which is very different from what I have seen before, with a touch of eerie beauty. Yuan Boya quietly stared at the enchanting cherry blossoms, his expression was sad and gloomy, and he kept muttering to himself. "Aoko......" he whispered dreamily, and walked step by step to the depths of the cherry blossoms.
Aoko? Could it be Aoko who appears in "Onmyoji I"? Yuan Boya blows the flute for it every night, haunted by dreams, but it's a pity that Qingzi has already belonged, and finally becomes a monster because of his resentment of the emperor, thanks to Yuan Boya sacrificing his life to stop the woman who lost her way and died in Yuan Boya's arms. Could it be that Yuan Boya still can't let go?
"Lord Boya, don't ......" Before I could finish speaking, I tripped and fell to the ground, and the vines that came out of nowhere tightly bound my legs, making it impossible for me to get up and stop Gen Boya. The flowers on the tree were as bright as blood, as if they were sneering at me wickedly. Dangerous! Yuan Boya is coming back! Watching Gen Boya's figure disappear into the depths of the cherry blossoms, there was nothing I could do......
The vines that bound me loosened, and I fell limply to the ground. No, save Boya! Relying on the only remaining faith, I stumbled to my feet, and then ran around in a panic, Qingming, he will definitely be able to save Boya!
"Qingming, Lord Boya, he ......"
When he found Harumi, he was sniffing a cherry blossom unhurriedly. Seeing me coming in a hurry, he smiled indifferently.
I'm very angry, when are you still in the mood to enjoy the flowers and smell the fragrance here! Pointing at him and yelling: "Boya has an accident!" β
"I know."
Playing with the cherry blossom branch in his hand, his eyes became more and more playful, and Qingming replied calmly.
I was stunned, the legend of Bai Gongzi was calm, but this is too calm!
As if seeing the doubts in my heart, Qingming smiled faintly: "Illusion is not illusion, reality is not reality, false and true, true and false, how can you know whether it is true or false?" β
I was dumbfounded, this is too mysterious, I don't understand.
Qingming looked at me with a confused look on his face and continued: "The cherry blossom forest is fake, but the illusion in my heart is real. Once the mind believes that it is true, it becomes true. β
"You're saying that the cherry blossom forest we're in now is a fake, an illusion? That source Boya is not ......"
I don't seem to understand. If we are deceived by the illusion in front of us, then how can the source boya disappear. Could it be that he's still nearby, in another illusion we can't see?
"Exactly." Qingming nodded, and sniffed the flower in her hand again, "Honey worm, didn't you notice?" These flowers can be touched and felt, but they have no smell, why? Because we ignore the smell of it. So it doesn't smell. β
I closed my eyes and imagined the scent of roses, and sure enough, I could smell the cherry blossoms emitting the fragrance of roses. I see, but another problem arises: how do we know what Yuan Boya is thinking to go to his fantasy artistic conception?
"Qingming, what are you doing?"
When I opened my eyes, I saw Qingming fanning around with a folding fan, like a village girl in the countryside fanning the wind when cooking.
"I'm getting ready to go somewhere else."
"Another place?"
I was surprised.
Qingming's gaze was a little helpless: "I don't know if it's a reality or an illusory place." β
"So what should I do?"
"You stay, honeyworm, I don't want you to be in any danger."
Qingming looked at me with a very sincere gaze, and he sighed softly, as if bitter: "If I don't come back, you have to remember to get out of here." Maybe stop thinking about anything, be completely still, and all the illusions in front of you will disappear and you will be able to get out of here. β
With a far-fetched smile, Qingming gestured with his eyes for me to listen to him. A few petals flew towards him, circling around him, the beautiful and delicate cherry blossoms swirled, the white hunting clothes fluttered in the wind, and they were still smiling calmly, like tragedy, like a farewell......
All at once, I burst into tears and blurted out:
"How could I abandon you to protect myself!"
"Honey Worm ......"
Qingming couldn't believe it.
"Even if you are for the source of Boya, I will not back down or run away because of this, and let you face the danger alone."
"No, honey worm ......"
"I'm going with you!"
The words that rang in his mind when Boya decided to accompany Harumi to Teniwado at the Rain Temple, "Wherever you go, Boya will go with you." As long as I'm with you, there's nothing to be afraid of. "Qingming and Yuan Boya have already formed a deep relationship with me before. But I also have the right to choose to share the danger with Qingming. Qingming, I want you to know that in this world, not only Yuan Boya can accompany you from birth to death, but I can also be born and die for you.
"No matter how dangerous it is, no matter how difficult it is, I will face it with you. I can't do anything for you, the only thing I can do is to be with you. β
I approached him and looked at him earnestly, hoping that he would see the sincerity in my eyes.
"Are you afraid?"
Qingming's eyes were a little moved.
"As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid. I'm sure you'll protect me. β
I shook my head, convinced.
"You don't think I'm a burden and get in the way with me, right?"
I asked with a smile, knowing that Qingming would not think like that.
"How so?" Qingming smiled and stretched out his hand to me, with some anticipation in his eyes, "Sure...... With me? β
The petals around him became more and more numerous and rotated faster and faster, obscuring his appearance.
"Hmm" I nodded earnestly and reached out to take his hand that was reaching out to me. Qingming pushed a little harder, and I was pulled in time. The cherry blossom petals began to spin rapidly, and the layers of petals densely surrounded us, leaving me and him to look at each other, and see the sincerity and firmness in each other's eyes, and my hands were clenched tighter.
In the past, before I appeared, it was Yuan Boya who accompanied you; Now, Yuan Boya is in danger, and I will accompany you to save him. This scene is like the scene when Gen Boya accompanied Qingming to Tianiwado, looking at each other, believing in each other, and facing each other together.
Qingming, no matter what is going to happen, I am not afraid. It's good to have you with me.
