Chapter 45 Volume II Chapter 8 Young Master of the Gu Family (1)
The last rays of darkness before dawn hung over the city, and even the city that never sleeps had fallen into a brief silence at this time.
But there is still a tall pavilion that is still brightly lit at this time, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music is endless. That's Tianxiang Building.
On the top floor of the pavilion, a man was sitting at a table, constantly adding wine to his cup, and constantly raising his glass to drink.
Not far from him, a beautiful woman was caressing the piano beside a piano table, her slender fingers constantly fluctuating on the strings, playing beautiful notes one after another.
"Xihan ......" Shaoqing raised the wine bottle in front of him, shook it gently, and then drank it all. Xihan stopped playing, pressed the strings lightly with both hands, and returned: "Childe, something?" Shaoqing poured the wine again, and said slowly as if he was melancholy: "Xihan...... Do you think there really is a past life in the world? Xi Han frowned slightly, bit her lower lip tightly, and then said: "The cycle of life and death, we have not experienced it, or even if we have experienced it, those people who were once important and important memories have long since disappeared in that bowl of Meng Po soup in the previous life. Reincarnation may not be false, but Xihan believes that no matter what happens in the previous life, it should not affect oneself in this life, because the current self is no longer the person in the previous life, people should live in the present, the happiness and happiness of this life are important, and why bother to recall the grievances and hatreds of those previous lives? ”
"Hehe, that's a good point...... Shaoqing drank another cup alone, and then said a little stupidly: "But you don't think...... Some people, is it worth it for you to cross the samsara and wait? That girl...... Hehe, she said she hated me. In fact, why don't I hate myself at the moment? I hate that I wasn't the same Long Shaoqing I used to be, and I also hated that I couldn't fulfill the promise I made in person. Such a me...... Isn't it hateful! Shaoqing's last sound was extraordinarily hard, as if he was in great pain in his heart, and with a force in his hand, he only heard a click, and the bronze wine bottle in his hand had been shattered into countless pieces.
The remnants of wine in the cup were splashed everywhere, and some fragments also pierced Shaoqing's palm, and blood snaked down his wrist......
"Shaoqing......" Xihan stood up from the piano table, walked to Shaoqing's side and said, "Why bother? I think...... Maybe that girl is just temporarily blinded by everything in reality, and when the time comes, there will always be a ...... to end it," she said, she gently picked up Shaoqing's injured hand, first cleaned the fragments on the wound with her own handkerchief, and then stretched out her index finger and gently scratched the wound, only to see a white light flash slightly, and then the wound recovered as before.
Shaoqing withdrew his hand, walked slowly to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed the window sash, and the first rays of morning sunlight were reflected on his face from the distant horizon.
Shaoqing lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Reality...... Is what you and I see is the so-called reality? ”
"This ......" Xihan seemed to be confused by his words and didn't know how to reply, so he had to lower his head and remain silent.
Shaoqing looked at the rising sun in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh lightly. Then he walked to the table to the side, took the sword in his hand, and put on his robe.
He said, "It's getting late, I'm leaving." Take care, I'll come back to see you when I'm free. ”
"Shaoqing, you ......" Xihan walked over quickly, as if something was wrong, but he suddenly stopped halfway through, as if he had something on his mind.
Shaoqing looked back at her and said with a smile: "Why are you reluctant to let me go?" Xihan lowered his head and whispered, "No...... It's just that this time I don't know when I will be able to see you again. I know that you have your own pursuits, but be careful, if it is useful to Xihan, although it is said, I will definitely try my best to help. ”
"Hehe, thank you for your concern." Shaoqing said with a smile: "Don't worry, I act in my own way." And what I said back then will definitely be fulfilled, I, Long Shaoqing, have never broken my word. Xi Han nodded and said, "Well, Xi Han knows, that will help the son have a smooth journey." Long Shaoqing then said goodbye and left Tianxiang Building.
