The normally deserted Donghuang Palace became even more deserted.
When Li Tianlan opened his eyes, it was already dark outside the window, and everything was quiet. There was a desk lamp on in the corner of the room. Under the weak light, the soft-haired golden retriever was lying there quietly, wagging its tail in boredom.
Li Tianlan sat up from the bed, rubbed his somewhat swollen and painful head, picked up the boiled water hanging next to him and drank it all in one gulp. He still felt a little dry in the mouth, shook his head, and was in a trance.
Know what to do.
Soft footsteps sounded outside the door.
Wang Yuetong pushed open the ajar door and walked in. Looking at Li Tianlan who was a little dull, she was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Are you awake? Do you want some water?"
"Well..."
Li Tianlan glanced at Wang Yuetong dully, and laughed at himself: "I drank too much. Are they all gone?"
"Um."
Wang Yuetong did not turn on the light, but silently turned on the desk lamp in the corner. She took another glass of water to Li Tianlan and handed it over, and said softly: "Li Baitian and Ye Huayu left with Xu Chu in the afternoon. When Du Hanyin left, you
Still awake, Qiancheng and the others just left not long ago."
Li Tianlan took a sip of water, nodded and said nothing more.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
There is no holiday in Sky Academy, but several young people from Donghuang Palace are eligible to celebrate the holiday.
Li Baitian and Ye Huayu returned to Shushan.
Xu Chu went to the Bai family in Youzhou.
Du Hanyin was originally homeless, but after her wind veins mutated and her strength recovered, the improvement of her strength was overwhelming in her heart. She did not need to celebrate the festival, so she went directly to Sky Academy to continue her classes.
Ning Qiancheng originally planned to stay, but in the morning he received a call from Ning Zhiyuan, the commander of the Eastern Theater Command, asking him to go back for the festival. Ning Qiancheng originally wanted to say no, but Yu Donglai said it would be nice to go and have a look.
.
Now that the relationship between Yu Qingyan and Ning Qiancheng has been completely stable, the old man thought it would be good to settle their affairs first, so he took Yu Qingyan and Ning Qiancheng directly to Wuyue Jinling.
Before leaving, Li Baitian said he wanted to get together, but he and two bastards Ning Qiancheng forced Li Tianlan to drink nearly three bottles of liquor during one meal. He, who was at his lowest strength, vomited again and again. When he woke up
, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival has almost passed.
"These two bastards."
Li Tianlan laughed and scolded, "It's just a Mid-Autumn Festival. Two or three days is not even parting time. It's really unfair to drink this wine."
"I made soup, as I learned from Mr. Yu. Do you want a bowl?"
Wang Yuetong asked softly.
"Not hungry."
Li Tianlan shook his head, looked at Wang Yuetong, and realized that the little princess of the Wang family in Beihai today seemed very different from the past.
She seemed to have just taken a shower, and her hair was still a little wet. She was wearing a white one-piece fishtail skirt embroidered with gold lines. She was elegant and lively. Her white high heels made her figure look taller and slender. She put on light makeup.
Some perfume was sprinkled on her body, and the hazy and ambiguous fragrance kept stimulating Li Tianlan's gradually recovering sense of smell. Under the dim desk lamp that illuminated the corner of the bedroom, Wang Yuetong stood in the light and shadow, enchanting and charming, as if it was an unreal scene.
Dream.
"It's beautiful today."
Li Tianlan looked at her and said.
"How do you like it?"
Wang Yuetong stared seriously into Li Tianlan's eyes. Her eyes were very reserved, but also a little wild. They contained a kind of power called courage.
Li Tianlan fell silent.
The silence turned into embarrassment as time passed.
The lights in the corner seemed to dim a bit.
Wang Yuetong's pretty face was a little pale, and the dazzling brilliance on her body was gradually disappearing.
"I'm going for a walk."
Li Tianlan stood up and spoke calmly.
"I'll accompany you."
Wang Yuetong walked over without refusing and held Li Tianlan's arm tightly.
There are thousands of kinds of fragrances in the world.
But this natural body fragrance that even perfume cannot cover up is the most unique.
The two cuddled together and walked downstairs in silence.
The artificial lake in front of the Donghuang Palace is still flowing. The moonlight on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival is beautiful and bright. The night wind blows the fallen leaves high into the sky and shuttles in the moonlight. The thick autumn atmosphere fills the night, making it desolate.
Men and women walking together strolled in the Donghuang Palace.
Behind the two of them was a golden retriever.
They walked very gently, and the picture was also very gentle.
"very nice."
Wang Yuetong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke and said softly: "I like this feeling very much. It's like there are only two of us left in the world. We don't have to think about anything. It's so good."
"Anything unrealistic is good."
Li Tianlan said calmly, his voice was very calm, and Wang Yuetong's trance was like two extremes.
Wang Yuetong hugged Li Tianlan's arm harder and harder.
She looked up at Li Tianlan with her little face, and suddenly laughed. Under the sad moonlight, she smiled very sweetly and helplessly: "So senior brother wants to tell me, the reason why you are so good in my eyes is because of the relationship between us.
Not realistic, right?"
Li Tianlan frowned quickly and did not speak.
Wang Yuetong's eyes gradually became crystal clear, and the uneasiness that had been suppressed in her heart for many days continued to accumulate in her tone. Her voice trembled a little: "There will be no future between us, right?"
The sparkles in his eyes fell down and turned into tears.
Tears flashed in the air for a moment, penetrated by the moonlight and soaked into the grass.
Li Tianlan remained silent.
His expression was hard and a little cold.
"Actually, I have known it for a long time. Ever since I knew your identity, ever since you met my father, I have known that there will be no future between us."
"That's why I call you Sister Qin Weibai, and I don't really mind your engagement with Dongcheng Ru, because without a future, it's not something I should fight for. I've always thought that as long as I had it once, it's enough."
In the bleak and cold night, the girl's voice was choked intermittently.
"But I'm still greedy. Senior brother, I like you very much, and I want to be with you forever. Even if I have to call her sister from now on, I will do it. Senior brother, can you help me?"
"I can't help you."
Li Tianlan was silent for a long time before speaking softly.
To this day, he also wants to give Wang Yuetong the future she wants, but he can't afford it.
If he is responsible for Wang Yuetong's future, how will he be responsible for Li in the future?
He was also naive once.
But during the Battle of Nagashima, the cruel reality told him that perhaps the initial encounter between the two was a mistake.
"I know."
Wang Yuetong choked with sobs and said softly: "You won't join the Beihai Wang family, right?"
With Li Tianlan's current reputation in the dark world, as long as he is willing to join the Beihai Wang Family, nothing will be a problem, and the Beihai Wang Family will also be willing to let Wang Yuetong follow Li Tianlan.
Nowadays, except for Kunlun City, perhaps no force would refuse to tie Li Tianlan to their chariot.
But it is impossible for Li Tianlan to join the Beihai Wang family.
After all, it was the Beihai Wang family that failed the Li family back then.
For the Li family, their standing by and watching was a betrayal.
Joining the Beihai Wang family? How will the Li family deal with themselves in the future? Maybe there will be no Li family at all. Without the Li family, there will naturally be no conflict between him and the Beihai Wang family.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath.
Perhaps the disappointment back then could be understood by everyone, including him, but the Li family and the Beihai Wang family are now on different paths after all.
Different road non-phase plan.
"Won't."
Li Tianlan finally spoke, briefly and firmly.
This was an irreconcilable conflict between the Li family and the Beihai Wang family. He had a reason not to compromise, even though he knew what he would lose if he did not compromise.
His footsteps continued to move forward.
Wang Yuetong stood still.
Li Tianlan turned around and looked at her.
Wang Yuetong looked at him for a long time before she stretched out her hand and hugged Li Tianlan's waist tightly, almost pressing against him.
"Senior brother..."
Wang Yuetong's voice trembled, as if she was murmuring in her sleep: "Take me. Take me tonight. I'll do whatever you want tonight, here, back to the room, in the water, or on the roof. It doesn't matter."
You are the first man I fell in love with. I don’t want to leave any regrets for myself, so just take me.”
Li Tianlan's body stiffened.
Wang Yuetong's delicate body was trembling in his arms, and he could almost clearly feel the tenderness and heat on her body.
If you can’t get your future, you need a past that you have had.
Not asking for eternity, just asking for what you once had is roughly what it means.
only...
A wry smile appeared on Li Tianlan's lips.
He looked at Wang Yuetong and said softly: "It's meaningless."
Whether you get it or not, it makes no sense.
Because you will regret it in the end.
Regret does not lie in whether you get it or not, but in your position.
Relative positions will only produce grudges and hatred, even if you have loved before.
Wang Yuetong shook her head desperately in Li Tianlan's arms, and her arms became tighter and tighter.
"I do not care."
Her cry was unwilling and aggrieved.
"Come for a walk with me, the scenery is beautiful tonight."
Li Tianlan said softly.
If you don’t look at the world from the highest point of martial arts, the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival is indeed beautiful.
Even nothingness is beautiful.
"Let's go back."
Wang Yuetong raised her head from Li Tianlan's arms, looked into his eyes, and insisted: "Go back to the room, senior brother, don't you like me? I don't believe you don't want me."
"I want."
Li Tianlan walked forward persistently and said calmly: "But I want you not to hate me so much in the future."
Wang Yuetong bit her red lips and held Li Tianlan's arms tightly with both hands.
The two of them moved forward slowly in the night.
Gradually we approached the gate.
"Senior brother..."
Wang Yuetong's faint voice sounded: "In the future, if you really become strong enough to ignore everything, will you come to me?"
Li Tianlan glanced at Wang Yuetong quietly.
He wanted to tell her that no one in this world could be strong enough to ignore everything, not him, not Wang Tianzong, not even the ancestors of the Wang family in Beihai and the ancestors of their Li family.
Because ignoring everything is not strong.
Wang Yuetong's eyes were soft, but firm.
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, turned his head, and said coldly: "No."
The two gradually approached the door.
Wang Yuetong grabbed Li Tianlan's arm and forced a smile: "What a cruel man."
Li Tianlan said nothing.
In sight are the two high-end security guards, one fat and one thin, on duty.
Outside the door, a black car parked at the door.
Two men got out of the car.
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, he finally understood why Wang Yuetong was acting so abnormally today.
Wang Yuetong also saw the two men outside the door. Her pretty face suddenly turned pale, and she was no longer able to hold Li Tianlan's arm.
Inside and outside the door, both parties found each other.
Of the two men, Li Tianlan only knew one, but one was enough.
Because that is Wang Tianzong.
A few dozen meters apart, the four people looked at each other.
Li Tianlan sighed softly, he let go of Wang Yuetong, and said in an indifferent tone: "Go."
Wang Yuetong bit her lip and shook her head with tears streaming down her face.
