A baker's dozen

I practiced for a long time in an open field, and when I found that night had fallen, I packed up and returned to the Demon King's Palace.

I heard that since the Demon Realm slaughtered Qingqiu that day, the Demon King Hall at night has lost its former glory.

Once here, people came and went at night, and the lights of Yaochi were gorgeous. But now this place is dark, and both the demon servants and the kings and ministers have returned to their residences to wait for the next day.

As I walked slowly, I suddenly noticed a sparkling spark looming under a peach blossom tree in the distance.

Curiously approaching the tree, I noticed a man sitting under the tree, drinking alone in the moonlight.

Soon I could see the man clearly.

This familiar white robe and flowing silver threads look extremely desolate and lonely under the baptism of moonlight.

He wasn't that kind of person in the first place, and he shouldn't have a sad face, but now he's also sinking into this negative feeling and can't extricate himself.

I approached slowly, and called softly:

"There is Su Yanqing?"

The man under the tree glanced at me a little, a little surprised and a little surprised.

His trademark smiling face, the moonlight outlining the distinct outline, psychedelic and intoxicating.

"Natsu Sakura, why are you here? "Su Yanqing stood up slowly, he was a little drunk, so that his body staggered and almost fell, and finally he had to lean against the tree and look at me

I walked towards the tree, looked at the jugs and cups scattered all over the place, and my heart tightened.

Is this person hiding too many things, but he doesn't want to tell others, so he has to borrow wine here to kill his sorrows.

"Why are you drinking here alone?" I asked him directly.

Su Yanqing exuded a strong smell of wine all over his body, and he waved his hand and replied:

"It's a good time to taste wine, how can you miss it?" said he staggered and fell straight down, but fortunately, I was quick to step forward and hold him up.

I helped you Su Yanqing to sit down, his decadent appearance was like two people who were arrogant and invincible in the daytime. Su Yanqing, who sat down, began to look for the wine jug again and wanted to continue drinking, but I had to try my best to stop him:

"Your injuries aren't healed yet, don't drink it. ”

Su Yanqing blushed, his eyes were dilated, and he completely lost his mind, he was a little unhappy when he heard that I didn't let him drink, and he turned his head and didn't want to look at me.

I sighed, and suddenly thought that Su Yanqing was silent about some things on weekdays, and now that he was drunk, wouldn't it be a good time to ask?

So I rubbed my hands together and began to paraphrase him expectantly:

"There is Su Yanqing~ Do you have any troubles?"

"Troubled? no~" Su Yanqing sneered and looked at me blankly.

I didn't expect this guy to be drunk and unwilling to open up, which is different from other people's routines. When I first tried to hit a wall, I immediately regained my strength and tried to inquire about some news from a different angle:

"Do you miss your former people?"

Hearing this, Su Yanqing's already dull eyes became more and more cloudy, and he held back his tears and did not speak.

My question must have poked him in the sore spot and made him even more depressed.

I was embarrassed to ask any more, I just wanted to change the topic, but who knew that Su Yanqing opened his mouth to answer me:

"Think...... Why don't you want to ......"

His voice was a little misty, and he stumbled out this thought, full of sadness and self-blame. Then he began to think in fragments, and he kept blaming himself for why he hadn't listened to Chi Qi in the first place.

"Can you tell me...... Did Chi Qi say anything to you in the first place?" I grasped on this and wanted to know some details.

Su Yanqing had gradually taken off his guard, he looked up at me, lowered his head and picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.

"He told me not to save anyone. ”

"Who?"

However, at such a critical moment, Su Yanqing shook his head and said:

"All I can tell you is that it's one I've loved for six lifetimes...... No, it's probably already a person of the seventh generation......"

Seven lifetimes??? does this mean seven lifetimes? That's long enough.

Talking about this, I seem to understand the reason why Su Yanqing didn't listen to Chi Qi's advice at the beginning.

At that time, he didn't expect the tragedy that followed, and now that the person he loved was threatened, if I did, I would not hesitate to rush to save the person I loved.

It's just that he didn't want to tell me the name of the person.

"And where is that girl you love now? Is she still alive?"

"Well, she's fine now. ”

"You...... Don't you go to her?" I wonder a little, since that girl is alive and well, and the tragedy has become a thing of the past, why didn't Su Yanqing bring her and crown me as the demon queen?

But Su Yanqing didn't seem to want to continue the topic, but said perfunctorily:

"There are some things I can't tell you anymore. ”

"It's really disappointing......" I muttered, so I had to follow Su Yanqing.

So we were relatively silent, quietly watching a few peach blossoms fall to the ground, or turn into spring mud, or dotted with stars. Qingqiu is like spring all year round, and this scene can only be seen here.

Moonlight, peach blossoms and you and me, if time can stop here, I will not have half a complaint, and even a little happy.

It's just that the reality is cruel, and people often live in this world that backfire, and only in this way can a complete life be constituted.

I looked at Su Yanqing who was drunk, and then remembered some things and took the opportunity to ask:

"What about me? I don't have any memories of the past, so why didn't you tell me?"

"You?" Su Yanqing glanced at me in a daze, and said with a stupid smile: "You just want to remember the past?"

"Hmm. I nodded firmly.

Su Yanqing didn't answer me immediately, his expression became serious, and the sense of loneliness overflowed again, swallowing the silence of his surroundings with heaviness and greed.

After a moment, Su Yanqing, who was silent, still asked:

"And what if I told you that remembering the past only makes you more miserable?"

This sentence was too heavy for me to accept for a while.

My previous memories ...... Is it painful?

Su Yanqing ignored me, laughed and raised his head to the sky and continued to shout:

"I, Su Yan, Xuanhuajun, the head of the four auspicious gods, have been tortured by memory and reduced to this, and God still doesn't want to reward me for escaping into reincarnation and forgetting everything to be an ordinary man!

He called himself Su Yan? What else is Zi Ximu? These names are so familiar, but I can't remember a single piece of information.

Su Yanqing was still talking, he staggered towards me, picked up a pot of wine beside him and filled the wine cup, drank it heroically and began to complain again:

"Memory, is memory so precious, in my opinion, it's better to forget these things!!"

After saying that, he wanted to continue drinking.
