"When? What's wrong with me?" Ruan Xiyao slowly got up, ran to the stone chair and sat down to look at the surrounding environment, remembering that there were still a few sparse stars just now, at this time there was only an endless dark night sky left, and there were only a few lights left around.

"We all came out to look for you when we saw you go out and didn't come back, but I didn't expect you to faint here. Pei Zongche saw that Ruan Xiyao was fine, and walked over with a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry...... I swept everyone's interest again, today is a good day for Tong Zhen and Jiang Fan, I made a mess. Ruan Xiyao said reproachfully after hearing this.

"No, everyone is happy, but I'm worried about you when I don't see you back, don't think too much. Pei Zongche said comfortingly.

Ruan Xiyao was silent for a long time, he saw Pei Zongche talking like Ji Cheng in a dream, so soft-spoken, so thoughtful, from the moment he met Pei Zongche, he felt that he was quietly watching her on the side, but in the end, he could only be left with loneliness and guilt. She has been avoiding Pei Zongche's eyes.

"Ruan Xiyao, why do you always avoid me, why don't you dare to look at me?" Pei Zongche asked.

“...... I didn't ......," Ruan Xiyao replied timidly.

"You deliberately avoided me from the beginning, I have broken up with Jiang Fan for a long time now, why do you still avoid me? Could it be because of Xi Yuming this time? If that's the case, as long as you are still in love, I also have the right to pursue you, why avoid me?" Pei Zongche didn't dare to imagine that he could say the words in his heart in front of Ruan Xiyao this time, after saying that, he was worried that Ruan Xiyao would cry and run away, but after thinking about it carefully, as long as he said it, there would be no regrets in the future.

“...... I...... I ......" Ruan Xiyao was speechless, if she didn't know that Pei Zongche might be Ji Cheng, she could really run away, no longer pay attention to Pei Zongche, and only walk with Xi Yuming from now on, even if she can't hold Xi Yuming's hand in this life, she will accompany Xi Yuming for a lifetime, but now she is guilty and worried in her heart, she doesn't dare to run away, and she doesn't dare to look at Pei Zongche, "...... Sorry ......"

I don't know what's going on, Ruan Xiyao suddenly said these three words, in fact, when I saw Pei Zongche for the first time that year, I had the shadow of Pei Zongche in my heart, although she was reborn without this emotion, the eloquent and high-spirited young man in the Xiangfo Temple could be rich in literary and artistic talk and laughter no matter what he talked about, but for many reasons, she ended up with Xi Yuming, and God made people, and now she knows the truth, who can know the sorrow in her heart?

Ruan Xiyao has asked herself countless times, she and Xi Yuming's love is not picky, whether she and Ji Cheng are sure whether the relationship will continue to persevere? But if you really insist on it at the beginning, talk to Pei Zongche well, do you know that looking for Ji Chengcheng will not be so tortuous, will it be the same happiness and sweetness, and her inner world will not be turned into pain and torture by time?

Ruan Xiyao was silent.

"Just now you were in a coma and kept hearing you call a person named Ji Cheng, he ...... Who the hell is he?" Pei Zongche hesitated, but still asked.

"......" Ruan Xiyao raised her head violently and looked straight at Pei Zongche, this sudden look made Pei Zongche's heart hit hard, and he didn't know what to do.

“...... Right...... I'm sorry......" Pei Zongche subconsciously apologized, he didn't know why this was the case, he had always wanted to figure out this problem, but the result was also what he expected, he didn't expect it to be verified, Ruan Xiyao was really angry.

“...... No...... The one who should say sorry is me......" Ruan Xiyao's tears flowed defenselessly. The egg hurts

Pei Zongche didn't understand this sentence, and when he saw Ruan Xiyao crying, he comforted her with pity.

"You didn't say anything sorry to me, I shouldn't ask some questions that shouldn't be asked, I'm sorry for you......" Pei Zongche didn't continue to ask about Ji Cheng, this may be a secret in Ruan Xiyao's heart that cannot be revealed, so why do you need to insist on asking?" "Ruan Xiyao, it's getting late, you should go back, otherwise everyone will worry about you." ”

"yes, it's going to be dawn in a few moments. Ruan Xiyao recalled that when she first came to this world, it seemed that this was the time, and she kept scaring others from the moment she appeared, when she was so helpless walking alone on the street without people, fortunately, Master Hui Chou took her in, otherwise she didn't know how to continue her other life.

Xiangfo Temple! Ruan Xiyao's mind suddenly flashed, I don't know if Master Huichou has returned, and he hasn't been to Xiangfo Temple for a while.

"Ruan Xiyao, why don't I send you back. Pei Zongche said.

"No need, I'll just go back by myself, you can go back so late. Seeing that Pei Zongche was worried, he wiped his tears and smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, no one will be able to get close to me." ”

Pei Zongche smiled knowingly, and the tension just now was dissipated by this little humor.

"Okay, then I'm leaving. After Pei Zongche finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The tall and handsome back reminded Ruan Xiyao of what Ji Cheng looked like when she went on the expedition, and that back was deeply imprinted in her mind, it was this farewell, they never saw each other again, Ji Cheng has since become a symbol in her heart, a memory, and a pursuit.

“...... Wait......" Ruan Xiyao called out to Pei Zongche, "...... Wait......"

Pei Zongche's footsteps were actually not fast at all, he was still worried that Ruan Xiyao would go home alone, and wanted to go slower and secretly follow behind Ruan Xiyao to escort him while he was not paying attention, but he didn't expect Ruan Xiyao to call him up, he was very happy, but he didn't dare to express it.

"Is there anything else?" asked Pei Zongche very calmly.

“...... We...... Let's go to the Guantao Pavilion of Xiangfo Temple to watch the sunrise......" Ruan Xiyao didn't know if it was appropriate to say this, she always felt indebted to Xi Yuming, and at the same time sorry for Pei Zongche, but after thinking about it for a long time, she said so.

"Okay. Pei Zongche said happily.

Such a rare thing was simply flattering for Pei Zongche, he replied very carefully, wanting to laugh out loud to express his great excitement, but he was worried that it would be too exaggerated and out of proportion.

The door of the Buddha Temple has not been opened at this time, it is too early, through the window on the Buddha wall, you can see that there are Zen rooms lit inside, this is those monks who work hard to read the scriptures, they have to get up earlier than other monks, for fear of affecting the rest of others, so they can only look at the scriptures quietly.
