doomed man

The scholar was very embarrassed last night, he knew that Xiao Qi had been waiting for an answer and he was always running away.Since childhood, Jingchen has always been a decisive person and never hesitated, until he met Xiao Qi, whose heart should have been quiet. In the end, he who had always been prudent fled in the end. Now thinking about it, I feel very ashamed... because of what happened last night Unhappy, Jing Chen was very blocked. He didn't understand what Xiao Qi was in his heart... and he didn't understand why when he saw Xiao Qi's tears, his heart hurt like a knife.In this way, the scholar sat blankly by the river bank all night, until the sun rose the next day, Jing Chen kept thinking about a question: "Xiaoqi, what is it to me?"

"Friends? More important than friends."

"Family? Why do you feel unwilling?"

"spouse?…………"

What does Xiao Qi mean to me... I still don't understand after much deliberation.But the time for the imperial examination is gradually approaching as the days pass by.This place is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and it would take a full nine days to walk fast, not to mention that it would take at least half a month on foot.Time is tight and there is no delay, and we have to leave immediately tomorrow.It's just... If I leave, what should Xiaoqi do?

Although it is early autumn, the river water is so cold that it seems like people are going to freeze to death before giving up.Swimming slowly along the road yesterday, he didn't know how to face Xiao Qi, let alone how to tell Xiao Qi that he was leaving at this juncture.

"Idiot, I thought you would never come to me again..." Xiao Qi sat alone on the big rock, without closing his eyes all night.He didn't understand why the idiot didn't like him, and he didn't know how the idiot would be willing to go back to Donghai with him... Is it really like what the idiot said, the person I want to wait for is not him, but my wishful thinking.

Mermaids are born for love, and will eventually die for love.There is an unwritten rule in the mermaid family, that is, every adult mermaid must go to an unknown place to find a life partner.They need to get guidance through the crystal ball of the Sea Goddess, but the ability of the crystal ball is limited. It can only tell the believers where to find the destined person in this life, but whether they can get happiness depends on their own destiny... Some mermaids are very Fortunately, they found their partners, while others were blinded by the appearance and mistakenly took the fake for the real, and the real for the fake.In fact, it has long been difficult to distinguish between true and false... just like this tragic end of life.

"How could it be, little fool." How could you think so... Could it be that what I said was too serious yesterday?But is it really that important whether I come to you or not?Why do you care so much.

"That idiot, why did you run away suddenly last night?" The figure of the idiot running away is always a hurdle in Xiao Qi's heart, lingering in his mind all night.

"I don't know either...but Xiao Qi, I should go. I'm here to say goodbye to you today." I didn't expect Xiao Qi to ask this question, and the scholar was obviously stunned for a while before he realized it.But to be honest, the scholar didn't know the reason, so he couldn't give Xiao Qi a satisfactory answer, so he could only prevaricate by saying he didn't know.Suddenly remembered the purpose of today's trip, if I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't be able to say it in the future...

"Why... are you angry because I said I wanted you to go back to the East China Sea with me last night? Then I will never do this again... Idiot, can you just stay with me? Please... "Jingchen, don't leave, okay... As long as you don't leave, I won't ask for anything, and I won't force you to go back to Donghai with me anymore. As long as you're happy, I don't care.

"No, you little fool, don't think too much, I had to leave because of the imperial examination." I thought about it for a long time last night, and I figured it out, as long as □□ nothing is blocking... gender, species, etc. question.You don't care, I'm a big man, what else can I do... But, I promised my late mother that she would be named on the gold list to shine on the lintel. As long as I can fulfill my late mother's last wish in this imperial examination, then I can go back to the East China Sea with you without any worries...

"Idiot, it's okay if you don't go..." Xiao Qi knew that the scholar had to go this time, but he still couldn't help but ask him to stay.

"...Little Seven"

"That idiot, take me away. I really, really like you very much. I don't want to be separated from you for a day..." Since you refuse to stay, then take me away... From now on you go Wherever I go, never separate.

"...Xiao Qi, don't be like this." For the first time, Jing Chen saw Xiao Qi being so humble, feeling so humble in the dust, and felt very uncomfortable.In his heart, Xiao Qi is a noble god who is enshrined.

"..." Xiaoqi lowered her head sadly, and didn't speak for a long time.

"...Will you come back?" Probably not...

"Yes." How can I find you if I don't come back.

"Really?" Even if you lie to me, I won't expose it.

"Really." When I come back, we will go back to Donghai.I can't tell you now because I want to surprise you.

"Okay, idiot, I'll wait for you." I've been waiting for so long before, and it's not bad this time.Just why is it so sad...

In this way, the idiot took the borrowed silver and embarked on the journey to Beijing to rush for the exam.He didn't know that since then, Xiaoqi couldn't sleep at night, and couldn't taste the food.Every day, he would sit on that carved rock, staring at the direction in which the idiot left. He hoped that his beloved would come back as soon as possible... When he opened his eyes in the morning, he would sit there foolishly and wait for his eyes to be full of hope until At dusk, the sun sets and experiences despair again. Every day, I wake up with hope and go to sleep with disappointment... day after day.He has been waiting all his life. When he was a child, his parents said that he would come back after going to the human world for a while, but they never came back.When he was a teenager, the fourth brother said that he would go to Beiming to find a god and come back after a meeting, but the fourth brother never came back.Now that I'm an adult, Jing Chen said that he would come back to me after taking the imperial examination, so he... Will he really come back?Still like my father, mother and fourth brother, I have no news of leaving my world since then.

Xiaoqi confessed: When I was young, I heard the goddess of the sea said that human beings have very poor memory and they will forget a lot of things every time.I'm really afraid that the idiot will forget me, the mermaid Xiaoqi who was waiting for him to come back by the Qinhuai River...

[I've been waiting for you and never left. 】
