Chapter 144: Parting is for reunion
(a)
Xing'er's heart moved, and she couldn't help blurting out: "Chiyan Heavenly God, my third wish is..."
"The people in front, let me go!"
At the critical moment, a rush suddenly sounded behind him. At the same time, Xing'er only felt that her arms were tight, and before she could turn around and take a closer look, she was pulled by Chi Yan to the bridge railing.
Immediately afterwards, I saw two carts full of fruit passing by the two of them, and the little brother who ran in the last cart did not forget to wave his hand sideways, apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Under the cursing sound one after another, the two cart boys gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Chi Yan slowly let go of his hand, looked Xing'er up and down again, and said with concern: "How is it, are you hurt?"
A small accident distracts the mind and interrupts what was to be said. Xing'er drooped her head and responded with a look of loss: "I'm fine, thank you so much, big brother." ”
While thanking her, she unconsciously gave a short salute to Chi Yan.
This respectful salutation is entirely an acquired reflex condition. The reason why she can behave so dignified and polite is all due to her father's work in holding a stick to guard her and learning women's etiquette.
used to be a quirky little fart, but now it really shows a bit of a beautiful appearance.
After Chi Yan sighed in his heart, he asked curiously: "By the way, you seem to be talking about the third wish." What do you want this time?"
Xing'er lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, ready to ask tentatively first, "Red Flame Heavenly God, before I say my third wish, I would like to ask you a few questions. ”
Chi Yan moved his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand and signaled, "It's nothing if you want to ask, it's just..."
Xing'er couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly asked, "It's just what?"
Chi Yan pointed to his face, "You really want to wear this veil to talk to me all the time?!"
Xing'er raised her eyebrows, the corners of her eyes raised slightly, and said, "Don't worry, when you finish answering the question, I will take it off." ”
"Okay!" Chi Yan replied, and then said, "You ask! As long as I know, I will be outspoken." ”
"Cause and effect reincarnation, past life and present life. Red Flame Heavenly God, do you believe in the theory of reincarnation?" Xing'er stared at him, and the starry eyes overflowed with expectation little by little.
"Reincarnation..."Chi Yan paused, turned to look at the night sky, thought seriously for a while, and said: "Good thoughts in this life can be cultivated in the next life, if you are a kind-hearted person, even if this life is prosperous, then the next life will definitely be able to start again!"
"Then what if you find the reincarnation of your cousin?"
Hearing this, the originally bright eyes dimmed a little in an instant. Chi Yan was silent, hiding the sadness in his eyes, and said softly: "If there is really an afterlife, I will never see her again." ”
Xing'er was stunned for a moment, and naturally she didn't expect him to say this, "You, don't you like your cousin?"
"I like it, how can I not like it. Chi Yan closed his eyes slightly, and said in a light tone: "But even if you are reincarnated as an adult, your lifespan will only be more than a hundred years after all." I can hold the hand of my son, but I can't grow old with her, and hold hands with her. Such a parting, once... That's enough. ”
Xing'er looked panicked, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Chi Yan's arm, and said seriously: "What if that person is willing to devote himself to cultivation for you, comprehend death and life, and cultivate an immortal body?"
Hearing this, Chi Yan sneered astringently, turned his gaze to her again, and said, "How hard it is to practice, if you only practice for one person, it is better to choose to live a normal life and find someone who can accompany you through your life." How good is this kind of life!"
Looking for someone who can accompany you through your life?
The shadow cast by the long eyelashes obscures the complexity of the eyes. Xing'er slowly let go of her hand, and her heart was also gloomy.
A gust of evening breeze blew, caressing the green silk on his forehead, lifting the veil, and blowing up the dress. Raising her eyes again, although she was through the veil, she tried to raise a faint smile, and mocked: "What a stupid god! According to you, you are planning to die alone? Just thinking about it, I think you're so lonely. ”
She changed her words, but broke the somewhat heavy atmosphere. Chi Yan smiled freely, and returned to his original chic and handsome appearance.
"How did I become a stupid god?! I will study weapons when I have nothing to do, and if I am really bored, I will go to the rest of the people to have a good time. This god has always been used to being chic, so why is it said that he is 'lonely'. ”
"Then why don't I come to Yan Qingshan to accompany you?" At first glance, it seemed to be playful. But while asking, Xing'er still nervously clenched her hands.
Chi Yan's eyes were slightly stunned, and he smiled and waved his hand back: "It's not proper, it's not proper, my deep mountains and old forests are very boring." Besides, if a girl from your family came to accompany me alone, if this is known, then it will be okay?"
Xing'er pursed her thin lips, tightly tightened her fingers in her wide sleeves, and said loudly: "Otherwise, I will be your daughter-in-law..."
'Dangdang~'
At this moment, the sudden ringing of the bell in the Wanfu Temple drowned out her voice.
"What did you just say?" Chi Yan picked at his ears, looking confused.
Xing'er frowned, took another half step forward, and wanted to speak again: "I said, my third wish is to want..."
Maybe God destined Xing'er not to be able to say what was in her heart tonight, but she just got up when she was interrupted by a deafening loud noise.
This year, a special fireworks display was prepared for the Lantern Festival in Wanfu Town. Impartially, it was precisely at this moment when she was ready to express her heart that the fireworks show kicked off.
The roaring fireworks were deafening and resounded throughout the fire world. Colorful fireworks like shooting stars trail their bright tails and bloom in the dark night sky.
The dazzling fireworks in the distance attracted countless people to stop and watch, and the sparks that burst out with Ambilight and color decorated the deep blue sky so brilliantly.
The Lotte Bridge is a great place to watch the fireworks, and because of this, there are more onlookers. People are crowded, their backs are rubbed, they are crowded, and they are crowded one after another.
Xing'er, who was already a little frustrated and melancholy, was also squeezed by the sudden rush of people. After staggering a few times, Chi Yanyan quickly grabbed her.
"You're going to have to stand firm, there's a lot of people here. Chi Yan smiled gently at Xing'er, and used his body to block wave after wave of pushing.
As he spoke, he protected her in front of him again, raised his hand and pointed forward, and said, "With the eldest brother protecting you, you can enjoy the fireworks." ”
After being stunned for a moment, Xing'er nodded lightly and set her eyes on the fireworks in the distance.
However, just as she turned around, the smile on Chi Yan's face suddenly retracted, and the look in her eyes also became a little complicated.
My third wish is to be by your side all the time. ’
In fact, Chi Yan heard what she just said, but deliberately pretended not to hear it.
If I see her again, I am afraid that I will make a big mistake.
Thinking of this, Chi Yanwu took a step back and silently opened the distance between the two. He looked at her back apologetically, his thin lips opened lightly, and he said silently: "I'm sorry, I can't answer your third wish..."
With that, he turned and blended into the crowd and disappeared.
The small flame soared into the sky, and then burst into a five-colored flower in the blink of an eye. Before the flowers dissipated, another dazzling peony flower flew into the air, surrounded by gorgeous and brilliant red light, like a young girl, dancing under the gaze of everyone.
The sound of fireworks is endless, and beautiful apertures are one after another. Xing'er flashed her big eyes and sighed: "This firework is really beautiful, you say..."
When he turned around, there was no longer Chi Yan's figure behind him. Xing'er, who was panicked, searched for a long time in the crowded crowd. Until all the lanterns were dimmed, and there was no one on the street.
(b)
A cool breeze blew, pulling the two of them back from their memories.
Xing'er gently rested her head on Chi Yan's shoulder, and reminded in a low voice, "If you don't want the two of us to stay in this position and sit here for the night, carry me into your room." ”
As she spoke, she buried her face in Chiyan's neck socket and rubbed it coquettishly.
Chi Yan's whole body stiffened, his pupils contracted for a while, and his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling. Then, he suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, picked up Xing'er by the waist again, and walked towards the room without saying a word.
He watched for a little more until all the candles in the room were extinguished, and then the black crow perched on the eaves fluttered its wings and disappeared into the night.
"Have you flown away?" asked Apricot in a low voice while sitting cross-legged on the bed, facing Chi Yan, who was secretly observing by the window.
Retracting his gaze, Chi Yan set up an invisible barrier outside the house. After doing all this, he reflexively walked to the table and responded, "It seems that Xiao Hei should go back to report the news." ”
Again?!Isn't it...
This unexpected statement surprised Xing'er in particular, "Could it be that you always knew it was spying on you?"
