Chang Sheng didn't quite understand, but when she saw Xue Jin's smiling eyes, she suddenly felt blessed and asked in surprise.
"Is that what I think it means?"
Xue Jin finally thought about it and won't commit suicide again?
Hearing Chang Sheng's rhetorical question, Xue Jin was a little embarrassed. After all, he was the one who wanted to live and die before, and now he is the one who wanted to live. It was true that he was going back on his word.
"Go quickly, if you are a little later, I will regret it!"
Changsheng immediately got up and ran down to the place selling lanterns. As he ran, he didn't forget to shout back.
"Don't forget what you said, I heard you!"
The people around him were immediately startled by the sound, and immediately turned to look at Xue Jin. Seeing that it was this young man who looked familiar, they couldn't help but smile kindly.
Xuejin was a little embarrassed. He looked at Chang Sheng who was trying to squeeze his way into the crowd. He felt that given the density of the crowd, it would take a while for Ah Chou to squeeze out. He just gave himself some time to think.
How will I explain to A Chou later?
Well, first of all, I must tell her about my origins. That child A Chou will definitely not be able to imagine that he was once a prince, so he must explain it carefully. Secondly, he must explain to Changsheng that he will not seek death again in the future.
He wants to live well with A Chou for a while. He can't say what will happen in the future. At least for now, he really wants to live well with A Chou. Then, he has to...
"Da da da……"
There was a sound of light footsteps. Xuejin didn't pay attention at first, but when he heard a voice, the rare relaxed expression on Xuejin's face suddenly froze.
"Prince..."
Xuejin's feeling at that moment was like a cold shiver from the soles of his feet to his head, and his whole body felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. This call that had not been heard for decades made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning.
For a moment, Xuejin wanted to turn around and run away. But the next moment, he forced himself to hold back.
There were hundreds of people coming and going, but there was only one person he turned around to look at. Among so many people, there was only one person who was staring at him.
Xuejin's eyes underwent extremely complex changes in an instant. His lips trembled with a slight smile, and after a long time he slowly uttered two words.
"Cultivation..."
The man opposite, wearing black clothes and white mourning, bowed deeply to Xue Jin.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
When old friends meet, things change and people change.
After finally grabbing two river lanterns in the crowded crowd, Zhang Chang returned to the bridge panting, just in time to see the back of the strange man and Xue Jin's extremely tense back.
She walked back to Xuejin in a few steps and took a look at Xuejin's slightly pale face and the man's back, which was a little strange.
"Do you know that man?"
Xue Jin shook his head.
Taking a look at the river lantern in Changsheng's hand, the two came to the river and asked her to write her wishes on it.
"Aren't you going to write?"
"I have no wishes."
Xue Jin looked at Changsheng in a gentle manner. I wonder if it was because the light tonight was so gentle that Xue Jin, who had always been a bad-tempered person, became much gentler.
But since he had no wishes, Changsheng didn't mind writing it himself. Although the writing was crooked, it was complete enough. After finishing writing, Changsheng put the two river lanterns into the water and let them float away with the waves.
"What did you write?"
Xue Jin asked curiously at this time, Changsheng didn't hide it and answered with a smile.
"I hope my deceased relatives can rest in peace, and when I finish cultivating, I can bring them back to life."
Xuejin moved his lips, but still spoke apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Achou. I lied to you before. People cannot be resurrected after death. Even a monk cannot save a mortal."
"……Yeah?"
Chang Sheng's reaction was unexpectedly calm. Rather, she had known for a long time that people could not be resurrected after death. She also knew that Xue Jin might be lying to herself.
"I'm just clumsy, not stupid. If what you said is true, then Xuejin must try his best to save his relatives, not that he must die."
"..."
Xuejin never thought that he would hear such an answer, so he couldn't help but look back at Changsheng.
But no matter how I look at it, I feel like this child doesn't look like someone who can say what she just said. She's not even ten years old, right? In the final analysis, it can only be said that Gu Sheng taught her well.
"...Then what is written on your second river lantern?"
Chang Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed. If she had said it simply and neatly, Xue Jin wouldn't be embarrassed, but if she did this, Xue Jin would actually care.
"What did you write? Can't you say it?"
"That's not true."
"I hope Xuejin can live. Even if you have to leave me in the future, I hope Xuejin can live well."
It's quite embarrassing to talk about this little wish. After all, Xue Jin never wanted to live, but she almost forced him to stay in the world.
At this moment, Xuejin's fingers twitched slightly, and then immediately turned away.
"Hmph! The river lanterns are written about oneself, how can one write about others?"
"Then I don't have anything to write about?"
"You can't write about me anyway."
"Okay, okay, I won't write about you next time."
The two of them talked all the way while admiring the beautiful scenery that happened once a year. Xuejin, in particular, was very interested for some reason. He took Changsheng around and played around, laughing very happily.
Changsheng felt that this was probably Xuejin's previous temperament, and it would be great if he could always be like this.
"Ah Chou, why are you so dazed? Come on, this candy is so sweet to eat. You go back and see how to make it, or we can sell this too."
Xuejin held up a candy figure and motioned for Changsheng to follow. Looking at Xuejin who was so alive, as if he had transformed from a puppet into a real person, Changsheng couldn't help but smile, and then caught up with Xuejin who was running back and forth. If
Wouldn't it be great if Seoljin could always be like this?
Changsheng, who was playing among the crowd, had to say that this was the first time since her grandfather passed away that she was so happy. Because she knew that from now on, she would no longer be alone. She had Xuejin to accompany her.
The two of them are not relatives, but they will become relatives in the future. Even because Seoljin has a longer life span than ordinary people, he can stay with him for a longer time.
This is really good.
Xuejin and Changsheng, who had played wildly all night, returned to the inn. Xuejin's interest remained undiminished and he couldn't sleep for a long time. He looked at Xiangdui Xue, which was covered with a layer of moonlight and looked even hazier under the night light. His expression
It was a little complicated, and then he spoke with Chang Sheng's blank expression.
"How long is the flowering period of Xiangdui Snow?"
Changsheng shook his head.
"Don't we know when it will fall?"
"……makes sense."
It would be great if we could know how long the flowering period of Xiangdui Snow is.
