Chapter 42: Fate
Yingmengxi, the wind is rising.
Bai Luo's precipitated state of mind also shook with the wind.
"You... Engaged?" Looking at the girl in front of him who had only met for a while, when he heard this, Bai Luo couldn't tell what it felt.
It's just that his mood seems to have become a little worse, and even this world seems to have become a little darker.
This sudden news made him seem a little flustered.
Ai Xin sat on the ground, her hands clutching the skirt between her knees, and when she was thinking about it, unconsciously, tears flowed down her eyes uncontrollably.
At this moment, she hoped that Bai Luo beside her would be a little sad, and even hoped that he would become angry.
However, some cruelty is that Bai Luo did not do what she wanted.
"Kyo... Congratulations" After speaking, Bai Luo turned his head suddenly, trying not to let Ai Xin see the panic on his face.
In fact, in Bai Luo's heart, there is only some ambiguity with Ai Xin, but if you want to raise this ambiguity to the level of affection, I am afraid that there is still a distance, and because of this, although Bai Luo is a little flustered, he can only say this sentence against his will.
But the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and after Ai Xin on the side heard the words, the hands that grabbed the hem of the skirt were a little harder.
For some reason, after Bai Luo said this, Ai Xin's heart tightened together as if he had been caught.
"Perhaps, in his heart, I am just a passerby"
At this moment, the air in Yingmengxi seemed to freeze, and it became extremely silent.
After a long time, Ai Xin finally turned her head, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, put on a smile again, and slowly stood up.
Patting the dust on the corner of her skirt, she forced herself to say with tears that had not been wiped off
"Thank you, Senior Brother Bai"
After that, Ai Xin set his eyes on Yingmengxi, as if he wanted to imprint it into the deepest part of his heart, and refused to take his eyes off for a long time.
However, I don't know if she was looking at Yingmengxi in the sun, or if she was still expecting something, she just stood there, motionless.
But even so, there was no voice of expectation in her ears.
With a bitter smile again, Ai Xin was speechless, turned around directly, and walked towards the stone path.
"Just bury it in your heart..."
——
Yingmengxi, Yingmengxi.
This stream is full of glow with fireflies.
This stream illuminates the ignorance of young girls.
This stream, which was originally ordinary, was given a name with special meaning to her by a young girl.
wiped away the tears that fell like a waterfall, and the past turned into pictures and imprinted in front of me...
In the past eighteen years, he has been restricted by his elders since he was a child, and he has not been in contact with the outside world.
Until a year ago, when she had just turned eighteen, she was sent by her family to the Five Heavens, known as the Barren Land, for training.
Xu Yunru is her aunt and the protector chosen by the family for her.
Extremely accidentally, the time she met Bai Luo was her first travel mission, but she didn't expect that this first mission would meet this person who inadvertently made her worry for half a month.
But just last night, Xu Yunru suddenly came with the news that the family had chosen an engagement candidate for her, and this news fell on her head like a thunderbolt from the blue.
The ghost sent the gods, early this morning, she came directly to this Yingmengxi and sat for a whole day.
Although she is ignorant about the affairs of men and women, her grandfather once told her that some people are destined, and if there is fate, the two have a sense of the heart.
Therefore, when she heard Bai Luo's voice, her heart suddenly shook.
After Bai Luo arrived, Ai Xin thought for a long time and finally told the news of the engagement.
But what disappointed her was that after Bai Luo heard about it, there was only that sentence, a faint congratulations...
"Heart, there are too many variables in the world, just like the word you often ask me about love"
"What is love, even if it's me, I don't understand it too much until now, but this kind of thing, what I pay attention to, is the word fate, sometimes, when I meet the right person, at the right time, this is called fate"
"But on the contrary, if you meet the right person, but you don't have the right time, this is fate, and there is no part, heart, you have to remember, if you meet the latter one day, it is better to cut it off as soon as possible"
The words that her grandfather had said to her came to mind, and it was only now that Ai Xin understood what it meant.
"He and I are people of two worlds after all..."Ai Xinmuran muttered
Walking all the way down the stone path, Ai Xin did not look back, although her steps were very slow, but as time crossed the traces under her feet, her figure finally disappeared within the range of Yingmengxi.
Next to Yingmeng Creek, on Bai Luo's side
At this moment, he doesn't know whether the smile on his face is far-fetched or stunned, but only one thing is certain, his heart feels empty as if a piece has been poached.
And this sense of frustration is much more obvious than the last time Ai Xin left.
After maintaining this appearance for a long time, Bai Luo suddenly became at a loss, saying that mortal cultivation is the power that dominates everything, and there is immortality that everyone yearns for, but at this time, Bai Luo felt at a loss
"Cultivation, cultivation, cultivation, what is it..."
It was also when Bai Luo was chattering, a squirrel, suddenly from the bushes not far away, quickly ran to Bai Luo's side, and what surprised Bai Luo was that the squirrel seemed to push him hard with all his strength.
Following the thrust of his legs, Bai Luo looked down, just in time to see the squirrel pushing him, and at the same time, he also used his furry little claws to point anxiously at the direction where Ai Xin disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Bai Luo's heart shook and at the same time, he suddenly realized.
"Yes, the word Dao is full of thousands of envelopes, I should not be blinded by its appearance, martial arts, immortal path, or... Love, after all, you should follow your heart" After figuring it out, Bai Luo's eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, and his body also stood up suddenly.
Turning his head to look at the stone path in the middle of the two rows of grass, Bai Luo no longer hesitated, and immediately used his fastest speed to rush towards the stone path.
...
Running all the way, even Bai Luo's refined body felt a little loaded, but because of this, as he wished, he finally saw the red-shirted figure under a tall plane tree.
But when Bai Luo was about to shout with surprise, his raised hand suddenly stopped in the air...
From a distance, in front of Ai Xin, a handsome man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes was smiling, dragging Ai Xin's right hand, facing the back of her hand, and slowly kissing it...
And when Bai Luo, who saw this scene, his heart was shocked, his eyes were also stunned.
At this moment, Bai Luo seemed to be too shocked, and his feet suddenly stumbled.
It was also because of this stumbling that he suddenly stepped on a dry branch under his feet, and in an instant, the sound of 'clicking' was transmitted to the space shrouded by the plane tree.
Maybe the voice was too abrupt, Ai Xin slowly turned around after hearing the voice.
But when he saw the gray-robed figure, her body suddenly trembled violently, and her face also became a frozen appearance...
