The show ended, the dream ended, the audience dispersed, the crowd quieted down, the heart turned cold, and the blooming champagne fell to the ground.
Wu Muqing squatted down and searched the ground inch by inch. He still could not find the ring that was supposed to be on his ring finger. It was gone. Just like her, it could not be found.
"Brother, stop looking." Wu Lingyu bent down and squatted in front of Wu Muqing. His usually bright eyes were dull and teary." Even if I find it, it doesn't belong to you."”
"Doesn't belong? I really wanted to hold her hand. However, she could not grasp it. It seemed that she really did not belong to him.”
The ring and the person with the ring did not belong to him. Wu Muqing stopped what he was doing and looked at his tearful sister. " As long as she's happy," Wu Lingyu murmured with a smile.”
"As long as she's happy." Wu Muqing repeated mechanically. Then, he smiled. His smile was so pale and sad.
Meeting this pair of siblings was the greatest blessing Xia Kezhi had received in her life. She would never forget that there was once a boy who would smile gently at her, hold her hand, and say," Even if everyone betrays you, I won't leave you." Xia Kezhi would never forget that there was once a girl who would heartlessly hold her hand and cling onto her to watch the flowers bloom and wither together. Then, she would seriously say," I'll always watch with you in the future." Even if the sea turned into mulberry fields and the mountains became barren, the summer thirst would not forget that boy and that girl. They were the people that Xia Kezhi cherished the most, the most precious memories.
However, the siblings were also grateful for such a difficult and unforgettable encounter! There was once a sad girl who left an indelible mark in their memories. That girl's figure was engraved in their hearts, minds, and time.
"Do you regret it?" Father Wu's expression was pained. Looking at his disappointed son, he suddenly felt old and powerless.
"No regrets." Wu Muqing did not hesitate.
"That's enough, child." Father Wu patted his son's shoulder. Just like when he was young, he had always stood behind Wu Muqing and supported him. Because they were father and son, they were related by blood. There was no need for any reason, just trust and affirmation.
The night was dark, the lights were on, and the streets were bustling with people. How many times have they passed by each other, and how many times have they met again?
Beside the wishing well that was covered with coins at the bottom of the water, Han Yi stood there with a complicated expression. He did not say a word, just quietly and foolishly looking at Xia Kezhi. He could not get enough of it. His hand was still holding her hand, unwilling to let go.
The light shone on her white dress, leaving mottled shadows in the pool. Beside her was Han Ge's shadow, just like when she was young.
"It's been ten years. You've been empty here for ten years.”Xia Kezhi spoke lightly. His voice was like the wind and the clouds, ethereal in the night.
"Sorry, I'm late." The silver moonlight hung on Han Ge's slightly curled eyelashes, hiding all the shadows.
"Yeah, it's too late!" Xia Kezhi smiled bleakly." Let's not continue. You have your life, and I have mine. We can't rely on each other anymore.”
Xia Ke was powerless to stop Han Yi from taking her out of the engagement party, but she did not have the courage to continue pestering him. She couldn't turn around and sink into another person with a clear conscience after hurting someone. In fact, Xia Kezhi was a little glad because she really did not have the confidence to give Wu Muqing a future without shadows. Perhaps he was selfish, but this was what Xia Kezhi really thought.
"Thirsty." Han Ge called out softly.
"We can't go back to the past." His expression was still calm, but his heart had long been touched. If only he could say 'Thirsty' earlier.
"Thirsty." As if he couldn't hear Xia Kezhi's words, Han Yi just called her name patiently." Kezhi."”
He was making up for what he had missed out on in the past five years.
He called her name again and again. Xia Kezhi tried hard to calm himself down." Five years can change a lot of things. You and I are no longer-"
All of Xia Kezhi's words were drowned out by this sudden hug. Han Ge hugged her tightly, not leaving any space. He really wanted to rub her into his bones so that he would not lose her."I finally found you. Don't disappear again. I'll go crazy.”
Xia Kezhi felt like he was about to suffocate. Han Yi's words were like a heavy shackle, a shackle that could not be broken free, and a entanglement that could not be broken until death.
Han Ge's warm breath hit Xia Kezhi's neck. It was a little heavy and a little anxious.
They were so close that Xia Kezhi could smell the faint scent on Han Yi's body. It was still the same smell as ten years ago, and his broad shoulders and warm embrace were still there. So none of this had changed!
They were so close to each other that Han Yi could hear Xia Thirsty's calm heartbeat. It was so real. She was still so thin and weak, still so stubborn and upright, still like to hold back her tears and not let them slide down. Fortunately, she hadn't changed. She was still her, his her.
"You already have another her. Let bygones be bygones.”The words of Xia Thirst were sorrowful, and his heart was also sorrowful. Yes, he had Zhang Jinzhi.
"No, never." Han Ge replied stiffly.
No? Even if he didn't, what could he change? Xia Kezhi no longer had the courage or strength to do it again. She was no longer the same as when she was eight years old. She did not dare to gamble anymore. The cold castle, the shocking blood, and the dark and terrifying prison seemed like it was just yesterday. How to forget, how to start again. There was also the five years of emptiness, the five years of waiting, and the reason for owing him five years.
" For the past five years, why…why…" Why was there no news at all? Her courage was gone. She didn't have the courage to ask because she was afraid that the result would make her lose completely. Anyway, it was going to end. It was meaningless. Let her go and let Han Ge go. He was such a good person. She shouldn't let this kind of self affect his life.
Were they not fated enough? If Xia Kezhi hadn't backed down, if he had asked, maybe between them…but it was just a maybe. There were no ifs in life.
Xia Kezhi closed his eyes weakly.”
"I can't let go. I can't let go for the rest of my life.”Han Yi hugged her tightly and buried his head in Xia Kezhi's neck, lusting after her breath. He really had no choice. He couldn't let go of her hand, and he couldn't be a stranger from now on, because he had already loved her to the end of the road. When Han Yi was still a teenager who didn't understand love, Xia Kezhi had grown in his heart. It took root and sprouted, grew into a towering tree, and filled his entire heart. Once it was uprooted, his heart would be empty, leaving only his shell.
Her tears dried up, but her dry eyes were still facing the wind. Looking at the moon, Xia Zhi held back her thirst. It turned out that this method was really effective. This way, her tears would not flow out. Xia Kezhi did not cry, but what was that cold liquid on his neck? The tears that wet the corner of his clothes and chilled his heart were Han Ge's tears! It was also what he had missed every night for fifteen years! Finally, it spilled all over the ground and fell into Xia Kezhi's softest heart, telling Han Ge about his life's worries. It was said that a man would not shed tears easily. It was just that love had not reached the depths.
Xia Zhi's dried tears flooded again. This time, he could not hold it in anymore. They came violently and uncontrollably. Her heart ached for him. Her tears melted into his, and they were equally cold.
