"I bought this ring a long time ago. I had planned to express my love to Yuqing after returning from this mission."

"She and I have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, growing up together. However, after we entered Yujingtai to work and became Qianyan Army and secretary respectively, we spent less time together and more time apart..."

"I was afraid that our relationship would fade, but I couldn't bear to disturb Yuqing's gradually improving life, so I didn't give her this ring."

"Now it seems that I may not have the chance to hand it over to her personally. Lady Keqing, please help me convey a message to Yuqing..."

"Brother will always love her. No matter it's brother-sister relationship or love, Pang Zuo will always only love Yuqing, only Yuqing..."

Keqing took the ring tremblingly, closed her eyes, and tears poured down and dripped onto the ground.

"I promise you...I will tell you..."

"Pang Zuo..."

"Pang Zuo! Pang Zuo!"

Pang Zuo stopped breathing with a smile and closed his eyes forever. He left every drop of his blood on this isolated island.

Everyone shouted in unison, Keqing wept, Kaedehara Manye and Beidou expressed empathy, Fengyan and the Qianyan army looked on and saluted.

And, Ye Luo staggered away alone, until he came to a big rock on the beach and fell down with a loud bang.

He wanted to bury his head in the sand and escape from reality like an ostrich, and he didn't want what was happening at this moment to be real.

Tears wet the sand, Ye Luo cried and clenched his fists: "I'm sorry, I couldn't protect this hard-earned relationship. I clearly said that we are similar people and I will do everything I can to protect it, but I can't do anything!"

"I am just an ordinary person, as ordinary as can be... an ordinary person..."

Fengyuan Manye gently helped Ye Luo up. The two of them were silent, no one spoke, they just stood there quietly.

After a long time, Fengyuan Manye finally said something unclear: "When in doubt, ask the spring breeze. Let's just leave everything to the wind..."

Ye Luo glanced at Fengyuan Manye: "Actually, you guys deliberately concealed some things, right..."

Fengyuan Manye did not hesitate. This time he nodded firmly: "Young Master Ye Luo, there are some things that you will know sooner or later. The ups and downs of life are more difficult to distinguish than the brightness of the moon. It is sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and full of flavors. Only such a story is complete, isn't it?"

Ye Luo heaved a long sigh of relief, looked back at Pang Zuo's body, pursed his lips, and felt very uncomfortable: "If possible, who doesn't want to control their own destiny..."

After burying everyone's bodies on the island, Keqing calmed down a little. She would be needed to take charge of the situation later.

Feng Yan and the few remaining Qianyan soldiers lined up in a row, waiting for Keqing's next order.

Beidou and Fengyuan Manye stayed far away on the cliff, looking down at them.

Ye Luo was sitting alone on a rock by the sea, counting dogtail grasses in his hand, pinching them one by one: "If dogtail grasses represent our secret love for each other, then now, what can we use to tell this sad past..."

"Yuqing, I'm sorry for not being able to bring Pang Zuo back safely."

"All the bold words I said back then seem to have become a joke now..."

Beidou asked, "How is Young Master Ye Luo now?"

Fengyuan Manye shook his head: "It takes some time to dilute everything..."

"We have not dared to tell the truth because..." Beidou sighed, "But sooner or later they will know what happened on the ship. What should we do..."

Fengyuan Manye lowered his head and said nothing. No matter who this question was thrown to, it seemed to be an extremely difficult question to answer.

From the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun, and then from the setting of the sun to the rising of the sun, the group had already stayed on the isolated island for two whole days. This long journey of searching for people ended in complete failure, and they had no choice but to return home.

Keqing was already in a very heavy mood, but she could never have imagined that when she returned to the boat, something even more desperate was waiting for her.

On the shore, the Liyue warship and the "Death Star" were anchored together. After seeing everyone coming back, they swarmed down, all of them were crew members of the "Death Star".

Huixing held Beidou's hand and looked left and right. Beidou couldn't help laughing: "Huixing, what's wrong with you? It's not like you haven't seen me before."

Huixing breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Beidou, I'm glad you're okay. The flares I sent you didn't go off, and we didn't dare to act rashly. We were always on tenterhooks, afraid that something might go wrong."

Beidou said generously: "However, you spent a lot of effort to make the flare. Even though I didn't use it, I still kept it."

Huixing rubbed his head embarrassedly.

Keqing looked around and found that the warship was abnormally quiet. Just as she was about to ask something, Ye Luo suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Young Master Ye Luo..." Keqing slowly turned her head and looked at him.

Ye Luo snorted heavily, "Master Keqing, foxtail grass is indeed too common, so common that we overlook its short lifespan. From birth to death, it only lasts less than a year!"

Keqing looked at him blankly: "Young Master Ye Luo, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"I'm not sure I'm right, but I..."

"I want to plant a seed this autumn. Its name is regret, remorse, and witnessing the hopeless destruction but being powerless to do anything..."

"It's called..."

"The sad song of separation between life and death..."

After saying that, Ye Luo picked up a handful of sand from the shore, buried the seeds in it, his nose felt sore and he let out a long sigh.

A blood-red poppy grew out of the ground, facing the morning sun and glowing faintly in the wind.

Keqing stared at the plant she had never seen before in confusion. When she looked up and saw Ye Luo, his eyes had turned red from crying, and two lines of tears were hanging on his face unstoppably.

Ye Luo choked up and said, "I'm sorry, but this is what ordinary people are like... Ordinary people can't do many things, so... they always break their promises..."

Beidou finally answered Keqing's question at this time: "Ms. Keqing, I'm sorry for hiding this from you. I was just afraid that your emotions would get out of control and affect your judgment on the island."

"All the Qianyan soldiers and secretaries on the ship were killed. It was Xu Cheng and his men who did it."

When Keqing heard the news, she felt as if struck by lightning. She stared with her purple eyes, unable to move for a long time.
