The night before Yun Qiao returned to Yancheng, Yingying slept with her.
The two lay down side by side, turned off the lights, and let the thin light from the street lamp shine in through the window, making the room warm.
Yingying said about Qu Yanbei: "He has a very similar temperament to Cheng Li."
Yun Qiao: "Indeed."
"Is he already thirty years old?"
Yingying asked.
Yun Qiao: "Yes."
Yingying: "His life span is only fifty or sixty years, which is very short.
I have lived too long, sometimes it takes thousands of years to wait.
Compared with a long time, fifty or sixty years is a blink of an eye."
Yun Qiao looked at the ceiling silently. The branches outside were blown by the wind and illuminated by the street lights, forming shallow shadows on the ceiling that moved with the wind.
She thought of Cheng Li in her heart.
Yingying's voice was childish, but her tone was so firm and gentle, and she knew her thoughts well: "Are you ashamed of Cheng Li?"
"have."
"So, you don't dislike Qu Yanbei. In addition to hoping that he is the reincarnation of Lan Ting, you also feel that he is a bit like Cheng Li, and you feel sorry for him subconsciously?"
Yingying asked again.
Yun Qiao: "Yes."
Yingying was silent for a moment, "If I feel lonely, I will get married.
Even though you and I are not human beings, we still long for warmth.
Sometimes, I long for the hug of someone close to me."
Yun Qiao was curious: "Apart from Wei Haizheng, have you been married many times?"
Yingying: "Six times."
Yun Qiao: "Not much."
In thousands of years, only one tenth of the time was accompanied by someone.
Yun Qiao has been alone for a hundred years, and she can't bear it anymore.
"Because every time a husband dies, he will be missed for a long time.
Everyone I chose was great.
I married Wei Haizheng because of the magic witch blood in him. He is the only person I have never been tempted by."
Yingying said.
Therefore, when the husband dies, there will be hundreds of years in between.
You will feel very uncomfortable, and then you will slowly forget about him, and then you will remember him indifferently.
"...There is a person whom I love deeply and even went to find his reincarnation.
It's a pity that the reincarnated person is particularly bad, so I won't be stupid from now on."
Yingying said, "Yunqiao, I have experienced every thing and every mood you have encountered.
You can ask me and I will tell you the right way."
"What's the right path now?"
"If you don't love Qu Yanbei, you just feel guilty. You can stay with him, but don't marry him."
Yingying said, "If he remains single and is willing to be your companion, both you and him will not have let down the years.
If he can't bear it anymore and finds someone else to marry, that would be a better outcome.
In short, once you are with him without feelings, you will feel empty in the days to come.
This emptiness is more unbearable than loneliness, and you may even hope that he will die soon."
Yun Qiao: "Is this how you feel about Wei Hai?"
Yingying: "...Yes.
There is also the reincarnation of the first husband, and I can’t wait for it to end.
Fifty or sixty years are very short, Yun Qiao, no matter how guilty you feel about Qu Yanbei, time will pass quickly."
Yun Qiao said nothing more.
She later thought that she would be nice to Qu Yanbei.
I'm afraid she will never be able to make up for what she failed Cheng Li; and deep down in her heart, she always has regrets.
This is her only regret, not Cheng Li's.
The hope of Cheng Li's return is slim, and Yun Qiao wants to pin her guilt on another person.
In addition to marriage, she can give Qu Yanbei many things.
When she and Qu Yanbei returned, they had a special chat.
"I will still wait for him. I can't accept your feelings."
Yun Qiao said to him.
Qu Yanbei: "Will you avoid me?"
"Won't."
"Will you allow my secret love?"
he asked again.
Yun Qiao: "...Yes."
Qu Yanbei: "Thank you.
For me, that's enough."
"If you persist in your stubbornness and miss the happiness of this life, I will capture your soul when you die.
In the next life, I will give you a good destiny, which will be better than this life."
Yun Qiao said, "I will also tell you when you die: how worthless and ridiculous your stubbornness is, as light as a feather."
Qu Yanbei: "You can't drive me away even if you say these words.
The only thing that can make me go is if another person takes away my heart, not if you hurt me hard.
People will suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. The worse you treat me, the more addicted I will be."
Yun Qiao: "..."
You human beings should not classify "being a mean person" into so many categories and give it various disease names.
