Facing his arrogant rival, Wei Zi, Wei Zi could only swallow his anger.
He understood that the best way to shut Wei Zi up was to not be intimidated by his arrogance and strive to pass in the end!
Now, Wei Zi and the other two had more than 500 pearls in their hands. That meant that there were already 78 people who had a chance of passing. As long as two more Mudmen passed, he would have hope!
He thought of Hui Zi and decided to do his best to help her pass. He calculated in his heart and couldn't help but quicken his pace towards Huizi's residence.
In fact, he went to her place three or four times a day to check on her. If he didn't go for a day, his heart would feel empty and uncomfortable.
But who was it that made him restless? Was it Hui Zi, or the dusty woman in Miao Zhu?
He really couldn't explain it. He was indeed worried about Huizi every day, but the person he really cared about was that dusty woman.
He had to admit that he had always liked Huizi. However, when that dusty woman appeared, her shy smile and pure face were deeply engraved in his heart. From time to time, she would appear in front of his eyes and even barge into his dreams, causing him to have trouble sleeping and eating. This was a feeling he had never felt before. Perhaps, this was love?
He finally understood that the feeling of liking and the feeling of love were really different!
He liked Huizi, but his heart fell for that dusty woman! In front of Huizi, he didn't dare to show his true feelings for fear of hurting Huizi's heart. He could already feel that Huizi loved him!
Every day, he went to Huizi's place to help, sweating like rain, wrapping all the pearls in the box with a layer of sweat.
However, when he saw the bead, his eyes would become moist. Although it was said that " men don't cry easily ", he hadn't cried for a long time. Even if he encountered something sad, his tears would silently flow into his heart.
However, for some reason, when he saw the dusty woman in the pearl, a sense of pity welled up in his heart. Perhaps it was sympathy or love? There was an impulse that made him want to protect her. Tears would flow out of his eyes and fall on Miao Zhu.
His tears made the bead even more translucent, and it became the largest, most plump, sturdiest, and most sparkling bead in the box.
When he left the control center and rushed to Huizi's residence, he did not see her figure. He only saw her box and guessed that she might have something on, so he left for a while.
He couldn't wait to open her box and was surprised to find the largest pearl on the top. It was really rare!
Usually, he would have to go to the bottom to find it.
He carefully picked it up. Through the bead, he saw that the door of the small wooden house was gently closed. There was no dust in front of the steps, and a few bamboos in front of the door swayed gracefully in the breeze.
In the blink of an eye, the delicate and pretty woman pushed open the door and walked out. She leaned against the bamboo and smiled sweetly. Wei Zi's eyes instantly became moist.
She was really a woman who loved to smile. Her smile was sweet and pure, as clear as a sweet spring. There was not a trace of sadness. It made him intoxicated and also made him sad. The more she smiled, the more his heart hurt. Tears surged out and fell on it.
"You're here!"
Huizi's gentle voice rang out from behind him. He hurriedly turned around and smiled at her, tears still hanging on his face.
He came to help her every day and helped her take good care of Miaozhu. Logically speaking, she should be happy, but she couldn't smile. She looked dejected.
Ever since Wei Zi had fallen in love with that dusty woman, he had been so infatuated with her that he had almost forgotten her existence.
Just now, she was the one who deliberately placed the pearl on the top of the box and then quietly hid it.
When he arrived, he didn't look for her. Instead, he anxiously picked up the pearl.
Based on her woman's intuition, she could already feel Master Wei's abnormal behavior towards the pearl. She didn't want him to come over and help her anymore. She thought that he wasn't here to help her at all, but for the dusty woman in the pearl.
He especially cherished that pearl. He would probably be willing to shed blood for her, let alone shed tears for her!
Her jealousy boiled, but she suppressed the burning flames of jealousy and remained calm. She loved him, but she was afraid that she would annoy him and make him unhappy, so she could only pretend that nothing had happened. In reality, she was lying to herself. She didn't dare to expose this fact, and she didn't want to believe that Wei Zi would fall in love with a woman from the dust.
"Why are you late today?"
"I was just about to leave when Wei Zi, Zhang Zi, and You Zi came to report one after another. There were surprisingly many pearls in these three people's boxes. It took a long time to help them count them!”
"How many?"
"The three of them seemed to have gone to hunt for pearls and returned with a full load. Each of them had more than a thousand pearls in their hands!”
"What? They were really lucky! No wonder when I saw You Zi strolling around just now, he even came over to greet me with a relaxed and carefree look!”
"Oh right, I'll go find him now and ask him if he has any good ideas!”
Wei Zi stood up and planned to ask You Zi for advice so that more Mudmen could pass!
"Then go quickly!" Huizi urged. She didn't want to see Wei Zi holding that pearl in his hands all day.
After he left, when Akiko was packing the box, she accidentally found a note at the foot of the box. She opened the note and saw a line of words:
"Tonight, under the tenth pillar of the side corridor, I will wait for your arrival!”
After reading it, her worries were swept away and she was overjoyed. She thought that Wei Zi finally couldn't help but confess to her.
Before the last of the sunset had dispersed, Azuko had already cast aside her girlish self and arrived at the side corridor early, waiting under the tenth pillar.
From afar, a man walked towards her.
When the man approached her, she saw that it was not Wei Zi, but You Zi.
The anticipation in her heart was like a floating bubble that was instantly shattered.
"Why is it you? Could it be that you left that note?”She stared at You Zi in disappointment and asked in confusion.
"Yes!" You Zi answered frankly.
The disappointment on her face could not escape his eyes. He smiled and continued,
"I know you've always liked Wei Zi!”
" Since you already know, why do you still…" She lowered her head and stuttered.
"Because I like you. I like you!”
" But I…" She wanted to say something but stopped. Her white teeth bit her red lips.
"Do you know how many days are left until the deadline?”
"Ten days!" Her head was still lowered.
How could she not know? Every day, she counted the days with her fingers. Every time she tore off a page of the calendar, she felt the footsteps of death approaching her. Her situation was like a horse galloping on the wall, and her future was bleak.
"Master Wei once came to me and told me about your situation. He asked me for a way to help you increase the number of pearls by 200! Hehe, everyone knows that he is our leader, yet he is actually bowing down to an insignificant person like me to ask for advice! Isn't that funny?" You Zi laughed as he spoke, and his laughter contained a hint of superiority.
"I don't find it funny!"
Huizi said in a hoarse voice. She wanted to cry.
He tactfully put away his awkward smile and said to her seriously,
"I don't understand. What is it about him that you like? He was like an honest and stubborn bull. He was stubborn and only knew how to do things recklessly. If you followed him, you would only suffer. In the end, you would stay here and wait for death!”
"I…am willing!"
Huizi's voice became even softer. She had long seen that Youzi was like a budding garlic and a ripe lotus root. She was very scheming and unreliable. She did not feel safe with him.
"A wise man understands the times! Please raise your head and look at me-"
He reached out to her and lifted her chin with his index finger. He looked into her eyes and asked,
"Tell me, in what way am I not better than him? At the very least, I already have 1,300 Water Pearls. He can't even protect himself, but he still hypocritically said that he wanted to help you. It was simply entering a pawnshop naked. There was nothing to be pawned! Since he doesn't have the ability to help you, why don't you find another good place to live?”
She raised her hand and gently pushed his hand away, turning her head to the side. She understood what he meant by " good habitat ", understood that he was persuading her to give up Wei Zi and throw herself into his arms.
But Wei Zi was a tree in her heart! In her heart, this tree was taking root, sprouting, and growing into a big tree that she relied on. If she wanted to pull this tree out, she would have to die.
Now, You Zi wanted to break into her heart and brutally pull Wei Zi out of her heart. How could she accept it?
How could he not know how she felt? However, he no longer had the time to slowly fall in love with her.
In fact, in his heart, the Snow White he liked was not Azuresi, but someone else.
When the fragrance of the ancient dragon opened up his sealed emotions, he suddenly realized that the journey of life was originally filled with the unknown and suffering, just like an adventure. He was alone in the world, so lonely, helpless, and fragile.
He needed someone to travel with him, he needed an " ally ", he urgently needed to find this person in the vast world of mortals, to breathe with him, to share fate.
After searching for a while, he found his ideal partner-an ally he could rely on in his future journey.
However, it seemed that it was wishful thinking from the beginning. He sadly felt that the person he liked had never treated him as an " ally."
It was all his wishful thinking. He was the one who had fallen in love with someone he shouldn't have!
However, he still could not control his emotions and allowed himself to fall into that emotional swamp.
He didn't even have the courage to confess his feelings to the person he loved. He just waited for the right time to come, waiting for the day when he could release the love that he had suppressed in his heart.
However, the world was like a new chess game! He overheard what Lazi had said to Weizi. On the higher level of the Moon Pavilion, there was a Yin-Yang Love Chain Bridge that required the cooperation of a man and a woman to cross safely.
He was shocked. He began to hate Lazi. He hated her for destroying his beautiful dream. He also hated the Yin-Yang Love Chain Bridge for completely shattering his wishful thinking!
After struggling in pain for two nights, he had no choice but to give up on pursuing the " allied forces ".
In the end, his gaze fell on Huizi.
