Chapter 52: Never

Lin Wanwan only felt that her heart was as if she had been dragged by something, and in an instant, an overwhelming sour feeling swept towards her, drowning her like a flood.

She bit her lip and tried her best to restrain herself. It wasn't until there was a hint of blood in her mouth that she let go of the gap under her lips and silently withdrew her gaze, but in those dim eyes, there was still a color of persistence, resolute and stubborn.

"Later, there was another story, but at that time you had already returned to Dongchen and did not hear it. Do you want to listen? ”

Su Jingqian closed his eyes gloomily, as if he had already understood her inner thoughts, he sighed secretly and asked, "Then what happened?" ”

Later, the man did not die, but before drawing her sword and stabbing him, the woman had given him a heart protection pill and a fake death pill, in order to protect his life. She killed herself in front of his empty grave only to make the decent people think that the man was really dead, and as long as she died, no one could threaten him in the future, and her family would no longer be manipulated. ”

As she spoke, a water stain unconsciously appeared under her eyes, and she tried to blink her eyes, trying to drive them back into her eye sockets, and her voice couldn't help but be hoarse, "After this man woke up, he lost his memory, and became an ordinary person in the world, marrying a wife and having children, until he died of old age. Finally, when he was dying, he came to a barren mound, and he smiled and caressed the tombstone that could no longer be read, and read the woman's name in his mouth, and murmured: 'I have lived this life you have bought with your life, and I will protect you in the next life.' ’”

He ...... No amnesia? Su Jingqian turned around and looked at Lin Wanwan's silhouette, only to see her head tilted slightly, exactly the same as that night in the woods outside Nanling City, with a sad but stubborn expression.

His gaze flickered, and the bottom of his eyes was as deep as a cold pool, as if layers of ink waves were churning, surging with wisps of emotion, which seemed complex and subtle, making it difficult for people to perceive what was going on in his heart.

She slowly calmed down, a smile appeared on her lips, and she turned her head to look at him, her eyes were sad but resolute, gloomy but persistent, "He has never lost his memory, he has always remembered that woman in this life, and he has never forgotten for a moment." He pretended to have amnesia, but he wanted to fulfill her last wish and cherish the stability of her life in exchange for her life. ”

"What a sad story." A hint of gloom flashed in Su Jingqian's eyes, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Lin Wanwan's eyes suddenly sharpened, she stared at him tightly, not letting go of the slightest change in expression on his face, as if she wanted to see through the hidden emotions in his heart, "You say, if the woman had been braver, told the man everything, and tried to save her family together, would the story have been a different ending?" Did that woman regret it at the last moment of her life? ”

Su Jingqian calmly met her gaze, without any intention of dodging, his eyes were a little dark, and he couldn't see the emotions floating in them, but his figure revealed an unshakable firmness, he said: "Maybe, but I don't think she should regret meeting that person." There are few floating lives, and it is not easy to meet a person who knows and loves each other. Probably, there are only regrets. ”

"What about you? Have you ever regretted the choices you made back then? ”

The bright moon and the breeze, her eyes seem to ignite the spark in the night sky, shining with brilliance, containing a kind of hopeless expectation, but also revealing indomitable perseverance and stubbornness.

"Lin Wanwan, do you have to know?" He closed his eyes slightly, his voice was low and hoarse, and there was emotion trembling between his slightly frowning eyebrows, as if he was trying to hide something.

Lin Wanwan tightened his fingers curled into fists, and was about to speak, when he heard his voice come from afar, "Never." ”

With just two words, it has been sealed and regretted.

A few words can pierce the heart.

After hearing this answer, Lin Wanwan smiled clearly, and her watery eyes shone brightly in the night, as if it was not tears but starlight flashing in them.

Her heart was completely empty, as if someone had cut a hole in it with a knife, stuffed into the cold ice to the bone, and the pain was painful, and she was numb, and even no longer felt pain, but there was an unprecedented relief and relief.

Because, the place that tormented her for so long was finally stripped away.

Su Jingqian slowly opened his eyes and saw that she was smiling brightly, but the flashing water in his eyes and the passing pain were deeply imprinted on the bottom of his eyes, as if a deep crack had been drawn on the tip of his heart, and blood gushed like a spring in an instant.

Back then, the words of his father were like ghosts, and sentences lingered in his ears, like shadows-

"Jin'er, we were born in the emperor's family, different from ordinary people, the first thing we have to learn is ruthlessness. Once you have true feelings, then this game of chess, before you have played, you have lost all the games. ”

"In my life, I have never really loved a woman, and the so-called 3,000 beauties in the harem are just pawns to weigh the pros and cons to balance the government and the opposition. I am not a naturally cold person, sometimes it's not that I don't want to love, but I can't love. ”

"Love is a weakness, a weakness, once you fall into it, you will never recover."

"From the moment we were born, we are destined to have the mission and duty of this life, we are no longer living for ourselves, but the entire dynasty, and the burden on our shoulders is thousands of Li people, our responsibility is to calm the world, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

“……”

He resisted, and he was ready to escape all this unjust fate. But the result? It turns out that everything has already written the ending in the dark.

She said, don't lose what you think, everything can be expected.

But he ...... I don't have the right to look forward to it anymore......

He knew that this day would come one day. Can't hide, can't escape.

There are two monsters living in his heart, one is sanity and the other is instinct. They bit each other, tore each other, and stirred his heart again and again.

Reason reminds himself all the time not to get close, not to get close, and not to get close, but instinct still can't help but want to get close to her again and again, watching her smile, he will laugh and be happy, she will cry, he will be sad and heartbroken.

When she called out the "Ah Jin" again, how happy he was, how reluctant he was, and how painful his heart was. But what does that change?

The origin is gathered, and the end is dispersed. In this life, I have nothing to do with her.

He watched her walk in front of him step by step, his expression was calm, there were no more ups and downs in his eyes, and he was as silent as a pool of stagnant water, and the only thing he could feel was the cold chill to the bone.

"I have a reluctant request, and I hope that Dongchen Guojun will fulfill it."

She saluted him respectfully, the first time she had saluted him so solemnly, and the sight pierced his eyes deeply.

"Please don't come to me again if you don't have anything serious to do in the future. Leave. ”

He silently stared at her departing back, the corners of his eyes faintly scarlet, and the darkness under his eyes became thicker and thicker, and finally condensed into a thick ink that could not be dissolved.

He clenched his fingers tightly, the blood in his chest was constantly surging, and he suddenly felt unbearable pain all over his body, as if he was being bitten by something, and all his limbs were suffering from a cone-like pain. It wasn't until I couldn't see her figure anymore that the fishy sweetness that had been suppressed in my throat came out of my mouth, and then I saw that it was pitch black in front of me......
