In a certain room of the inn, the evening breeze flowed in through the open window, and the candles on the table swayed gently in the wind, giving rise to dots of waving light spots on the walls of the somewhat hazy room, as if they were like a waving candle. His hand seemed to be waving goodbye to something.
The two people sitting on one side of the table sat opposite each other in silence. Mu Ziyan lowered his head, and Shen Mengxi's eyes just looked away. The whole room was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing. Clearly.
Time flowed through the slit between the two people's fingers in the evening breeze, and some things sometimes became clear and sometimes blurred over time, perhaps waiting for their master to give them in words. The final verdict makes it completely clear!
"Papa...papa..." The wind suddenly became stronger, blowing the two window panels that were not firmly bolted, making a "papa" sound of the walls colliding, and also pulling the two people back. Thoughts that have drifted far away.
Mu Ziyan finally mustered up the courage and watched Shen Mengxi slowly move her slightly pale lips: "How are you... doing these days?"
She asked cautiously, but she kept despising herself in her heart. Mu Ziyan, what are you guilty of? As far as the 21st century is concerned, Shen Mengxi is probably your ex-husband. Don't be so unrestrained and show what a woman in the 21st century should do. Refreshing and bold!
"I'm living a good life, how about you?" Shen Mengxi had a sad and bitter smile on her lips. Didn't he always know whether she was well or not?
I said this with ease, but felt bitter in my heart: without Mu Ziyan, how could Shen Mengxi be better?
"I, I'm living a good life too." The fingers of Mu Ziyan's two hands placed on her legs were tightly intertwined and tangled together.
On the surface, she was unimpressed, but in her heart she was filled with emotion; the two people who were once so close now seemed to be having such a polite and unfamiliar conversation.
Facing the man she once vowed to live and die with, now does she feel the desolation of "things are different and people are different, everything is different, and she sheds tears first if she wants to speak"? She rushed to hold him and cried first?
"Since you're not dead, why didn't you come to me?" Mu Ziyan's voice was very soft, and her expression was equally calm, but her tone had a touch of force that could not be refused. She thought, forget about those sentiments, just be more straightforward. Choose the most essential issues to speak.
"Because..." Shen Mengxi could feel the hint of reproach in her tone, and felt a little bitter in her heart, "Because you forgot, didn't you?" How could he say all kinds of things to a woman who had no impression of him at all? fact?
The corner of Mu Ziyan's mouth curled up, and it turned out that after going around and around, she was always the one who was wrong; but, Mengxi, have you ever thought that even if my memory is gone, my heart is still there? If you find me, tell me Me, maybe I won’t...
Suddenly, she smiled, with a hint of ridicule towards herself, and shook her head gently, thinking: What else could it be? Wouldn't she be moved by Ye Yangchenhao's bone-deep love? Wouldn't she be moved by love and hate? Did they cross each other and give Ye Yangchenhao a knife?
Shen Mengxi didn't try to awaken her memory, and she couldn't recall the past before everything got out of control!
"Yes, I forgot; not only did I forget, all the faults and causes were my fault."
Because of her, Ye Yangchenhao pointed the finger at Shen Mengxi; because of her, Shen Mengxi's promising future was ruined and he lived a life of escape; because of her, Ye Yangchenhao took that sword in his life...
Mu Ziyan is the sinner!
"Xiao Yan, you blame me." Shen Mengxi stood up. When she said this, she was not asking, but an affirmation. Having known Mu Ziyan for many years, he could tell what was in her heart when she frowned. What I thought, not to mention the obvious tone and words.
Mu Ziyan slowly raised her head and looked at the beautiful face that once fascinated her, "Maybe I should blame you, but, Meng Xi, that is no longer necessary, because blaming you can't change anything that has happened. things."
Hearing this, Shen Mengxi turned around and stepped in front of Mu Ziyan, grabbed her catkins and held them in his palms, stared at her affectionately, and asked: "Xiao Yan, please tell me, if time goes back, Are you still willing to come with me?"
Mu Ziyan stood up slowly and looked up at his expectant eyes. The palm of his little hand wrapped around her was as warm as before, but she felt that the throb on her heartstrings was missing.
"I will!" Yes, if time went back, she would still choose to fly away from him, because she had never regretted loving him equally deeply.
Shen Mengdao was so excited that he almost couldn't speak. He held Mu Ziyan's little hand tightly and said with bright eyes: "What about now? Xiaoyan, leave here with me and leave Ye Yangchenhao, okay?" "
Mu Ziyan's eyes suddenly darkened, and Yuzhu, who was guarding the door, almost kicked the door open and rushed forward to tear Shen Mengxi to pieces, but was stopped by Yuqing, who had always been rational, "What are you doing?"
"I went and tore that damn man to pieces, how dare he openly rob the emperor's woman!" Yu Linglong's inner strength was extremely deep, so even if there was some distance between her and Mu Ziyan, their conversation still flowed into their ears bit by bit. inside.
"It's not your turn, believe me!" Yu Qing seemed to have great confidence in Mu Ziyan... No, she had great confidence in the emperor's charm!
Mu Ziyan's hand slowly pulled away from Shen Mengxi's palm, raised her head and smiled apologetically at him. Under his surprised gaze, she said: "Mengxi, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. , anything I say that has happened also includes the feelings between us."
In Shen Mengxi's shocked and desperate eyes, her hand completely pulled away from his palm, as if the emotional line was completely severed, and even Yue Lao was unable to put it back together!
"Mengxi, take care!" Mu Ziyan said, turned around and walked out.
As soon as she walked to the door and put her hand on the door and was about to open it, Shen Mengxi stepped forward and hugged her waist, with a hint of sobs in her voice, "Xiao Yan, I don't believe it, I don't believe you." Your feelings for me have changed. Tell me, did you assassinate Ye Yangchenhao because of me? Tell me that you still love me!"
Mu Ziyan knew that Shen Mengxi was a man with a gentleman's demeanor, and he would eventually understand and let go; she stretched out her hand and left his hands surrounding her, and then she opened the door.
"Yu Qing, go back to the palace!" After she said that, she walked away, followed by Qing Zhu and the other two. The rest of Yu Linglong had already prepared their carriage and was waiting outside the inn.
"Have you fallen in love with him?" Shen Mengxi chased him out of the inn. His sad but calm voice came from the street, "If that's the case, why did you stab him?"
Mu Ziyan paused before boarding the carriage, and then resolutely entered the carriage. Just before the carriage went, her voice came clearly: "Maybe, just because I stabbed him..."
The carriage clattered away, and the night, with its heavy morning mist, blew in the wind on the face of the man standing slumped on the avenue. Was he thinking deeply about the meaning of that sentence?
