Yang Ruoning avoided the avenue, walked on the path with fewer pedestrians, and walked in the direction of the city. Her clothes weren't completely dry, and the outer gown was gone, leaving only the belly pocket inside. Blake didn't know where to go, and Yang Ruoning vowed to starve this damn dark horse for a few days. The master was in trouble, but instead of coming to help, he ran away by himself. "Ahh A gust of wind chased after him, and Yang Ruo sneezed solidly. I had just choked on water, and after a burst of sneezing, my throat and even my trachea and lungs began to tear and hurt.

From this intersection, the path was about to merge into the main road into the city, and Yang Ruoning put on a rag she had picked up on the road and prepared to walk onto the main road. After walking a few steps, a black horse whistled in front of her like a black lightning bolt, and she looked back at the black horse and the tall man in flowing black clothes on the black horse, and felt familiar.

After a few seconds, she realized that the dark horse was actually Blake, and the man in black should be Ah Jing! She shouted their names, but all she could do was hoarse, faint voices. Looking at their hurried backs, I thought that they should be running for her. Yang Ruoning threw down the rag and chased them desperately in their direction.

When Yang Ruoning ran to the lake panting, she saw Blake kicking his hooves anxiously by the lake. I didn't see Ah Jing.

She calmed the restless Black first, telling him that she was fine. She saw a black object not far away, she went over to pick it up, and found that it was Ah Jing's mask.

Where is Ah Jing? Did you really go to the bottom of the lake to find yourself? Yang Ruoning looked at the lake nervously, she wanted to call Ah Jing's name, but she couldn't. She hesitated to go into the water to find it. After all the tossing and turning, her physical strength had already been exhausted, and she was not sure if she was going to rush into the water again......

One, two, three...... She counted in her heart and decided that if she counted to sixty and Ah Jing didn't show up, she would go into the water to find him.

When I counted to forty, a human head suddenly appeared on the lake in the distance, it was Ah Jing! Yang Ruoning's heart was put down, and she immediately ran towards Ah Jing.

Ah Jing staggered out of the lake, as if his strength had been exhausted. He had only taken a few steps before he fell to his knees on the shallows, his head bowed, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Yang Ruoning stopped a few steps away from him.

Ah Jing, who does not have a mask, has a beautiful face. At this moment, Ah Jing's face overlapped with Luo Yuan's and the little boy's face, and the person with three different faces was staring at Yang Ruoning's lost smock in his hand at the moment, as if he had lost his soul.

Ah Jing, or Luo Yuan, or ......, Yang Ruoning wanted to call him, but he didn't know how to call him.

She walked over softly and knelt in front of him.

But he didn't seem to realize that someone was coming, and he still hung his head and looked at Yang Ruoning's clothes in his hand distractedly.

Yang Ruoning gently cupped his face and made him look at herself. She gently brushed away the wet hair covering his eyes and forehead, and then said to him in a hoarse voice, "It's me, Yang Ruoning, I'm not dead." ”

His eyes searched her face, as if he didn't believe that the person who had suddenly appeared was her. After a long moment, he asked in a trembling voice, "...... Is it really Ruoning? I see...... There were so many corpses wrapped in white cloth at the bottom of the lake, I wanted to open them all, but there were too many...... I'm so scared I'm going to find you in the middle of that......"

"It's really me, I'm still alive, don't you believe it?"

He didn't answer, still looking at her incredulously.

So she pinched his arm, "Does it hurt?" She asked.

He shook his head. Yang Ruoning felt funny and angry, and then reached out and pinched him fiercely on the waist. He finally screamed in pain.

"And now?"

"It hurts."

"That's it, you're not dreaming. I'm still living in this fucking world, and so are you. Get up quickly, and don't kneel in this water. ”

But before she could stand up, he pulled her down, and he held her tightly in his arms, as if if she would evaporate from the world if she didn't hold her tightly. "Ruoning, I thought I was late......"

Yang Ruoning was a little out of breath when she was hugged by him, she wanted to push him away slightly, but in exchange for him being more forceful. In desperation, she had no choice but to say, "I won't die, because I still have a lot of things to ask you, such as the ...... I'm holding Ah Jing's mask right now."

*********************************

The two of them walked up the long stone steps leading to the small temple in the mountains under the starry curtain and knocked on the temple door. The small temple was empty, and the master should have gone down the mountain and not returned. So, the two of them sat on the bluestone steps at the entrance of the temple and waited.

"So, it's always been you ......"

"Yes, it always has been, I've always wanted to find a chance to tell you, but ......"

"But I'm telling you, I'm leaving you," Yang Ruoning turned his head to look at Luo Yuan beside him.

"yes."

Yang Ruoning sighed, she took the small wooden horse from her neck and put it in the palm of his hand. "I think it's yours."

Luo Yuan saw the thing in his palm and was stunned. "You got it?"

"yes, thank you fiancée, I know you're the little boy. The monk here told me that you died in a fire. But why are you hiding it from me? ”

"If you knew I was that boy, would you still like me and marry me?"

Yang Ruoning shook her head, "I won't." But you can't blame me for not recognizing you...... You were black and dirty when you were a kid, but now you ......."

Luo Yuan smiled, "How about now?" ”

"It looks so ...... now Pretty. ”

The smile in Luo Yuan's eyes became even stronger, "You know this is the first time you've praised me." ”

"You probably already have a cocoon in your ears."

"I just need to hear you say that. I tried my best to be good-looking so that when we met again, you could fall in love with me at first sight. ”

"Ha, you're really scheming. However, you did, and I liked you at first sight. Oh, and," Yang Ruoning said, taking off another chain around her neck, "My necklace has also been recovered." “

Luo Yuan looked at the diamond necklace on her palm in surprise, with an incredulous expression, "I haven't found it for so many years, how did you find it?" ”

"Thanks to your cousin," she dragged out the last two words. Then she said, "Say hello to my parents, right?" ”

Luo Yuan was shocked, "You say...... This is...... Your parents? ”

Yang Ruoning burst out laughing, "Yes and no." First of all, my parents are not stones; Then, in our place, there is a technology to grow human ashes into various gemstones in the laboratory. So this diamond, which was cultivated from the ashes of my parents, is also my parents. ”

Luo Yuan still looked incredulous, "I think your parents must not like me very much, right?" ”

"Why?"

"Because I lost them......"

"No, my mom likes handsome guys more than I do, and, you know, when I was at the bottom of the lake today, there was a moment when I was really dead. I saw my mother, and it was she who told me not to give up because ......" She reached out and stroked his cheek, "There's another person here who loves me." Luo Yuan, I heard you calling me, so I swam out desperately......"

Yang Ruoning saw that Luo Yuan's eyes looked so sad, so she couldn't help but murmur, "So Luo Yuan...... What are we going to do......"

But he smiled softly, as if it were a very stupid question. "Don't you know, stupid?" As he spoke, he picked up the little wooden horse, tugged at its tail, and twisted its head a few times. With a slight click, the little wooden horse broke into two knots from its abdomen, revealing the lilac jade seal inside.

Luo Yuan took out the jade seal, "This is the jade seal that Da Song has marked his identity since ancient times, and the purple jade can only be used by the Son of Heaven." Did you see it, the two words engraved on it, 'Zhao Yu', this is my prince's jade seal. ”

"So...... Are you really the missing little prince? “

He put the jade seal back on the pony and put the necklace back on her neck. "Yang Ruoning, my answer has already been told to you the moment I handed over this jade seal to you."

He gently lifted her chin and landed a kiss on her lips that was as soft as water, "I chose you, Yang Ruoning." ”
