withered prosperity

Yan Hai carried the lantern and returned to Mingyue Tower.

Standing a little far away, he glanced upstairs.

The banquet on the third floor seemed to be over, the lights became dim, and there was no sound around.

Although Yun Ji usually doesn't care much about being noisy, but at night she needs to be very quiet to fall asleep.

I wonder if he fell asleep?

Just as Yan Hai was thinking, he walked around the screen wall and saw Yun Ji standing in front of the small building.

The small building where Yan Hai lives temporarily is on the north side of Mingyue Tower. It is built on the back of the mountain.

"Yun Ji..." The moonlight was so beautiful tonight, he was a little dazed all the way, and unconsciously forgot his honorific title, and called Yun Ji's name.

Under the moonlight, the white cloud seemed to be shining.

The days just don't seem real these days...

Yan Hai smiled slightly and asked him, "Haven't you slept yet?"

Yun Ji looked at him and the package in his hand.

"I tidied up." He hurriedly explained: "If I knew you were waiting for me, I would definitely come back earlier."

"I'm not waiting for you, I just happened to pass by and thought of something to tell you." Yun Ji turned his head, revealing a perfectly contoured profile.

"I will never do it again in the future." Yan Hai looked at him with good eyes: "In the future, I will definitely..."

Yun Ji's eyebrows frowned slightly, creating a crack between the deep brows.

Yan Hai didn't continue talking, and his shoulders tensed.

Yun Ji was angry, but he didn't know why he made Yun Ji angry again.

A gust of wind blows, the lantern shakes, and the shadows are separated.

"Yan Hai, let me tell you again." Yun Ji's expression and voice showed that he was very serious: "You have been by my side for more than four years. At that time, you and I got along very well, but this kind of goodness is not enough. It's because I think you have a natural temperament, so I just let you go."

Yan Hai lowered his gaze.

"You and I have been together these few days, and it was originally a good thing to reunite after a long absence."

Yun Ji's hair is longer than that of ordinary men, and those silvery white tassels are mixed together with his black hair, as if he has gray hair...

"It was okay at the beginning, but for some reason these days, your words and eyes are quite gaffe. Although I don't think what you said will cause you to misunderstand, I hope you don't think too much."

I don't know what Yunji will look like when he gets old...

Perhaps it was because his absent-minded appearance was too obvious, Yun Ji frowned even tighter.

"Yun Ji." Yan Hai raised his head and asked him a word: "What kind of person would you choose to live forever?"

Yun Ji was silent for a while.

"After all, it won't be yours." He still said: "The world doesn't allow it, and I don't want it."

Yan Hai closed his eyes.

He actually knew it, but he was not reconciled to it after all.

So in the past few days, he pretended that he still had room, that he still had a chance, that... he could go back to the past.

Suddenly, the sourness and sweetness of the disguise was torn away, and he saw his concealed but dilapidated heart again.

Living in this world, ten wishes and nine empty wishes...

He could not hold the lantern in his hand, and it fell to the ground and caught fire.

The fire ignited, illuminated a square inch of land, and illuminated the beautiful woman Ruyu...

Seeing Yan Hai's empty eyes, Yun Ji felt that he seemed to want to press something heavy on his heart.

He was also a little annoyed.

These days, whether it was the complicated murder case or seeing Yan Hai's appearance again, he was not very happy.

Why on earth did Yan Hai start calling himself by his name in a familiar and intimate manner again, and treating himself in a way that made him uncomfortable?

This man...hasn't changed a bit over the years.

It was always so easy to piss him off.

Then he didn't say anything serious, he seemed to be let down by himself, from the beginning to the end, wasn't he talking to himself there alone?

What's more, what I said just now, I said a long time ago. At that time, he was extremely angry, as if it was a big sin that he didn't like him.

Isn't it a little ridiculous?

He didn't understand this person, and he didn't understand how to treat him.

To this day, he still doesn't understand...

"I got it." Yan Hai watched the fire completely extinguished, and murmured, "I got it..."

Seeing his distraught look, Yun Ji couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

This person can't learn a lesson, and doesn't know how to advance or retreat.

Although looking at this disheartened look, but within two or three days, he will revert to his old ways!

When passing by, Yun Ji thought so.

As he left, he looked back again.

Yan Hai, who was dressed in gray, stood in the yard, his back seemed to be cut into pieces by the moonlight and leaves.

Mottled and dim...

Yan Hai stood in the yard for a while, then walked into the small building and into the room.

The window of this room is facing the Mingyue Building, and a little higher is Yunji's room.

He didn't light a lamp, and looked out under the moonlight.

There is a light in Yunji's house, and that light will not be extinguished all night long.

Yunji doesn't like darkness, he likes bright places, gentle and kind people, so a few years ago, he forced himself to be bright, so that Yunji would like it.

As a result, Yun Ji didn't like it either.

"I grew up in that kind of place since I was a child, and I can't be happy. If I am gentle and kind, I can't live today." He said to himself in the room where Yun Ji was alone: ​​"Yun Ji, are you You can see that I'm actually not that kind of person, so you don't like me?"

Yan Hai, don't be stupid, Yun Ji doesn't like you, it doesn't matter what kind of person you are, you can pretend to be anything, but as long as it's you, he won't like it... Thinking that maybe it will be like this, Yan Hai would feel that his breath was choked in his chest, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out.

"I was wrong……"

For the first time in these years, he truly felt that he was wrong, that he had taken the wrong first step, and that he would never be able to return to the right path.

Looking back now...but why look back now?How can I go back?

The blue butterfly fluttered its wings and shone magically under the moonlight.

"Palace Master, are you really alive?" He said to the butterfly who had already come in front of him: "But I don't regret this matter. If I don't kill you, I won't be able to live. I'd rather die than you." , so I had to do it first.”

Butterflies settled on his outstretched hand.

"It's useless for you to survive, you have the ability to reach the sky, and you can't make Yunji like me." He said: "If you really didn't die, it doesn't matter, I will kill you again."

After finishing speaking, he closed his palms and crushed the butterfly into pieces.
