I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

This catharsis of love, which was extremely longing for each other, failed to proceed in the end.

Bai Zhi felt Meng Ying's hesitation and retreat, and she couldn't blame him for teasing.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Meng Ying refused at the beginning. It was because of her constant advancement that she got to where she is today.

Bai Zhi respects Meng Ying's choice.

That's right, I'm so greedy...

Bai Zhi sat on the futon with her clothes half-undressed, feeling a little chilly. She still squeezed out a few tears and muttered, "Coward!"

Meng Ying was like a defeated rooster at this moment. He had never been so defeated in his life.

Hearing Bai Zhi scolding him, he responded with a slight hum, and together with little Mengying, they looked downcast.

Bai Zhi still felt distressed and hugged him gently, coaxing him, "It's okay..."

Meng Ying reached out and hugged her back tightly, asking her what happened after she was tied up.

Bai Zhi eloquently told everyone, from Hu Geng and Zhuo Yunye to Shi Qi and Lang Ji.

Every time someone's name appeared, it was like scratching Meng Ying's heart with a dull knife.

It hurts!

The pain was so overwhelming that he hid in Bai Zhi's arms, curled up into a ball, and did not dare to look up for a long time.

He was glad that he had not taken Bai Zhi as his own just because of impulse, and now they still have a choice.

"Zhi'er, do you know why the teacher divorced his wife?" Meng Ying said sadly.

"Why?"

"Because Teacher, he chose to follow his father instead of obediently accepting the family's control."

"Because of this? Why can't the two of us face it together?"

Meng Ying laughed softly after hearing this, "Difficulty can be said in just two words and written in seventeen pictures. It sounds like it can be defeated easily, but when it is really encountered, it is a pair of feet without shoes, which has to climb over something higher than the sky. Mountain……"

"The teacher's wife is gentle and quiet, knowledgeable and courteous. She can wash and make soup, manage the house, and organize files for the teacher when he is too busy. It seems that the two of them are a couple of gods, a perfect match. Extremely.”

"Long before Zhuo Xiao was born, they had two children, a brother and a sister. They lived a harmonious life. But when the teacher chose to follow his father, everything changed..."

Bai Zhi always felt that Meng Ying was choked and trembling when she spoke.

"Later, two children were killed one after another. The teacher's wife collapsed several times, but she still chose to support the teacher. But when Zhuo Xiao was born, she couldn't bear it. She really couldn't bear that her child had become a victim, so she She begged the teacher to turn around and the two of them continued to quarrel until she had a mental breakdown. Zhuo Xiao was locked up in the mansion every day for fear that she would lose the child if she didn't notice..."

As Bai Zhi listened, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped. She asked, "Who killed the teacher's two children? Was it really just an accident?"

"That five-year-old sister, I...I saw her being pushed off the rockery with my own eyes. She hit the ground head first, and her whole body was deformed..." Meng Ying said, her hands unconsciously clenching Bai Zhi's lower skirt. , clenched until his knuckles turned white.

Bai Zhi was also shocked when she heard this. She seemed to be able to see the tragic scene, "Then who did it?"

"It was a nun in the palace. After I saw her, I controlled her and took her back to the mother-in-law's Weiyang Palace. After interrogation, I found out who was instigated by the upstream. But the father-in-law and the mother-in-law refused to let her go. I told the teacher that he insisted that his daughter slipped and fell..."

"Why! Why! Why don't you let him know!" Bai Zhi was so angry that she couldn't help but tremble while sitting on the futon.

Meng Ying rubbed her belly, and the light stubble in her hair made Bai Zhi shrink back. He continued: "I didn't understand it at that time. I only understood it in the next few years. The teacher has many things in his hands." The evidence of his crimes was that his father had just come to power at that time and had no foundation. The ministers in the court did not take him seriously at all. Under the protection of the Zhuo family, it was no less difficult than to defeat a powerful minister. Reclamation of mountains and sea..."

"If we let the teacher stop now, we have no chance of winning..." Meng Ying shrank, his whole body trembling with the torment in his heart, "I'm sorry, teacher. Later, I slaughtered that nanny's whole family... …”

"I didn't know what to do. Killing wasn't enough to express my hatred. At that time, I wanted to kill everyone I saw. I wanted to cut everyone in the Zhuo family into pieces one by one..."

Bai Zhi heard this memory from Zhuo Yunye. It was the darkest period in Meng Ying's life, but even though she felt guilty, she could not wash away the darkness that was imprinted on Meng Ying's blood.

"Your methods are so dirty... everyone is..." Bai Zhi spat out these words without mercy.

When Meng Ying heard this, she smiled calmly, "Yes... so the teacher divorced his wife and abandoned his son..."

This is not the only such tragic incident. Meng Ying has seen many people whose families have been destroyed and their families separated because they stood against the Zhuo family.

From the first moment he saw Bai Zhi, he could see through this ending at a glance. In other words, the original owner of this body has already sacrificed for this.

So he avoided and hid, but he still couldn't escape those feelings that quietly arose.

Bai Zhi originally wanted to ask him if he was worried that she would be like the teacher's wife and eventually collapse.

But she didn't dare to ask, because she roughly knew the shape of the answer. If she got the answer from Meng Ying, it would be confirmation and they would be over.

Although she thinks clearly, how can it be called love if there is no attachment at all?

She was silent for a long time, not daring to ask anything, so she changed the subject, "When the teacher died, I sang a song with Hu Geng and the others. Sometimes I still dream about..."

"Hey, the deer roars, the apple of the food field. I have a guest, playing the harp and sheng..." Bai Zhi hummed softly, and the powerless sadness instantly filled the room.

Meng Ying hugged her tightly, and when she finished singing, he said with a tight throat, "When... the teacher recognized me as a student, this was the song he sang..."

Bai Zhihu's eyes lit up, "Then you mean, the teacher accepted them as students at the last moment of his life?"

"Yes, he is my junior brother." Meng Ying spit out one word.

Bai Zhi suddenly shook his hand and said excitedly: "Do you have any student roster? Go and add them all. I remember their names!"

Meng Ying looked at Bai Zhi with soft eyes, a little sad and a little doting.

The roster needs to be obtained from the ancestral hall of Zhuo Yunye's family, so Bai Zhi reads all the names to Meng Ying one by one, and Meng Ying writes them into the book with names, hobbies, and endings.

After finishing writing, Bai Zhi broke down in tears, but she still didn't finish. She asked in a trembling voice, "What should Seventeen and the others do? What should they do..."

Meng Ying gently wiped Bai Zhi's tears, "Shuangyun and the others have returned."

"What about Seventeen?"

"Seventeen...only half of them came back..." Meng Ying pondered.

Bai Zhi broke down and cried. The emotions accumulated over the past few days were finally vented at this moment.

Meng Ying kept coaxing, comforting and enlightening her. Compared to her body, which was about to arouse lust, Meng Ying's comfort to her soul seemed more effective and warm at this moment.

This heavy memory must be borne by two people in the end. Thin and scattered clothes are not enough to resist the cold winter, but each other's arms can.

The two cuddled up like this until dawn...
