A Smile from the Villain

"Do you like him? What are you willing to pay for him?" When Ziyang Shi asked this question to Ziyangpei, it was the third day that Ziyangpei brought Qin Kaiyi back to Hualian Sect.

His younger brother seemed to have noticed the difference between him and Qin Kaiyi a long time ago, and looked at him with a kind of malicious sarcasm in his eyes, as if to say - Ziyangpei, what right do you have to like people.

"What does it have to do with you?" Ziyang Pei didn't care about Ziyang Shi's contempt at all, he stood up and walked out: "Don't touch him, he's still useful."

"You'll regret it." Ziyang Shi didn't discuss this issue with Ziyangpei any more. He looked at Ziyangpei pretending to be calm, and curled up his mouth mockingly.

As a result, Ziyang Shi's word became a prophecy.

When Ziyangpei watched Qin Kaiyi slowly disappear in his arms, he went crazy.

He wanted to scream, wanted to be furious, but found that he couldn't even utter a word. He could only watch the person in his arms become a little bit transparent, and finally disappeared completely. With the temperature of the human body.

Why is it gone?The white dress worn by Ziyang was tightly hugged in his arms, and he half knelt on the ground, motionless for a long time.

"Hey...Qin Shi, are you just gone?" Ziyangpei's voice became extremely hoarse, and he stood up slowly after a long time, letting out a heart-piercing roar.

Accompanied by the cry, a lot of blood flowed down the corner of Ziyangpei's mouth, and his eyes even turned a little red. No one could have imagined how cold and indifferent this person was at the beginning.

He was probably wrong—he made a mistake ten thousand years ago, and after ten thousand years, he will make a second mistake, watching the person he wants slip through his fingers, helplessly... …

"Ziyangpei, you are such an idiot." Ziyangpei lowered his head, and then laughed loudly. The laughter became louder and louder, revealing an illusion that this person was already insane.

Then, Ziyang Pei left the Hualian Sect and buried Qin Kaiyi's only remaining clothes in a remote valley.

The scenery in the valley is very good, the four seasons are like spring, and the clear springs, mountains and rocks all have a kind of uncut beauty.Ziyang burns incense and cooks wine every day, and seems to be doing well.

As for whether he is living well or not, I am afraid that only he himself knows.

It took him thousands of years to heal the shadow that Xue Xian brought to him. Now that the hideous wound has been dug open again, he doesn't know when it will heal.

"Hey, Qin Shi, do you still remember the first time you saw me?" Zi Yangpei propped his chin with his hands, and whispered to the tombstone in front of him: "I felt so awkward when I saw you for the first time. This person looks a little stupid, I didn't expect, I didn't expect...you are really stupid."

Poured a sip of wine into his mouth, Zi Yangpei continued: "You liked Shen Fei and laughed for so long, but in the end you ended up like this... The result is really... Good people don't live long."

I watched you sign a soul contract with me for him, I watched you be forced to escape into the magic way for him, I watched you jump into magma for him, I watched you betray all relatives for him, I watched you live together To die together, I watched you leave resolutely, and didn't even leave me with the last thought, but I, at some point, put you in my heart.

It is not so easy to take out the things put in, Ziyang Pei couldn't help showing a wry smile when he thought of this, he stretched out his hand tremblingly to caress the cold stone tablet, and then rested his forehead on the stone tablet.

In fact, Ziyang Pei has never been very good at such things as being affectionate.What he is good at is the heart of snakes and scorpions, indifferent like frost, trampling everyone's hearts under his feet, but he never thought that when he trampled on other people's hearts, he would even lose his own.

"I don't know how long I can be with you." Zi Yangpei poured another sip of wine into his mouth: "I still have many, many things to do... many, many things..."

Indeed, Ziyang's partner is not Shen Feixiao, and he can't be Shen Feixiao. There are too many fetters that involve him. He can't give up everything as decisively as Shen Feixiao just to be with Qin Kaiyi for the rest of his life.

In fact, many, many things were doomed from the very beginning.

When Yan Gu found him, Zi Yangpei happened to be walking back from Qin Kaiyi's tombstone. As soon as he looked up, he saw Yan Gu standing in the distance with Zi Yang Shi. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Too much time has passed, and the people and things that were once unusually clear have become somewhat blurred.

"What's the matter?" Ziyang Pei's tone was very indifferent, he had already paid off what he owed Ziyang Shi, and there was no need to wrong himself now.

"Where are Qin Shi's bones? Where did you put his bones?" Perhaps the only person who can really remember Qin Kaiyi's visit to this world is Huo Jing in front of him. Not good: "You killed his man, do you still want him to rest in peace?!"

"Did I kill him?" Ziyang Pei glanced at Ziyang Shi who was a little nervous, and it was a little funny: "Did Ziyang Shi tell you how Qin Shi died?"

"..." Yan Gu was taken aback for a moment, somewhat confused as to why Zi Yang Pei asked such a question.

"Forget it, even if you don't know about it, you should know that Qin Shi has no bones." Zi Yangpei rubbed the corners of his eyes wearily.

"What do you mean by no?" Yan Gu was stunned.

"No means——" Ziyangpei showed a chilling smile: "He disappeared—not to mention the bones, but there is not even a hair left."

"..." Yan Gu was dumbfounded—the big reason why he and Ziyang Shi were together was that Ziyang Shi promised to bring him to Qin Kaiyi's burial place, but now Ziyang Pei told him...

"You lied to me!!! You must be lying to me!! Ziyang Pei, don't try to lie to me!" Yan Gu roared, unwilling to accept this fact at all.

"Do I have to lie to you?" Zi Yangpei said indifferently, "Are you qualified to let me lie?"

"..." Yan Gu almost gritted his teeth, he gasped for breath several times, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Where is his tomb?"

"...behind." Zi Yangpei pointed casually, and then left without looking back.

"Ziyangpei, you are really a ruthless monster." Yan Gu gritted his teeth.

"You've discovered this secret, and you're afraid you won't live far." Zi Yangpei didn't get angry at all after hearing Yan Gu's scolding, instead he made a good-natured joke.

No one can laugh at such a joke.

Ziyangpei did not go with Yan Gu, but went back to the small wooden house built on the mountainside by himself.He threw the gourd hanging from his waist on the table, and then just sat by the window and stared out the window expressionlessly.

The dead are like this.What should have been accepted calmly, but now it has become a wound that cannot be touched. Once touched, it will be heart-piercing.

Yan Gu stayed on the mountain for a long time, until there was a drizzle in the mountains, and the sky darkened and then brightened again, then he and Ziyang Shi walked down the path from the mountain together.

"Do you regret it?" Seeing Zi Yangpei sitting by the window, Yan Gu blurted out the question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"Regret?" Zi Yangpei turned his head to look at Yan Gu strangely: "If I regret letting him come back to life, I will regret it."

Sure enough, it was a positive answer, never doing superfluous things, never spending energy on irreparable things-but if this is the case, why waste such a long time in this mountain?

"I've been thinking, if Qin Shi didn't meet you and Shen Feixiao, he would be very happy." Yan Gu muttered to himself.

"There is no such thing as if." Zi Yangpei was silent for a long time before giving his answer: "There is no such thing as if in the world."

"Well, that's right." Yan Gu said calmly: "It's too late to say these things now."

Those who should have gone have gone, and those who shouldn't have gone. Only the wind and dust in one place, and a lonely grave in the sky, have proved that this person existed, not everyone's strange fantasy.

"It's getting late, let's go down the mountain." Ziyang Pei said lazily, he glanced at Ziyang Shi with an ugly face, and suddenly smiled: "Should I wish you good luck?"

"Thank you." Ziyang Shi said dryly—he didn't know why Ziyangpei didn't tell Yan Gu the truth about Qin Kaiyi's death, but he was very grateful for Ziyangpei's decision.

"No need." Zi Yangpei closed his eyes - who told me, I am your elder brother.

Both Yan Gu and Zi Yang Shi left.

Ziyang Pei closed the window, blocking the misty rain from the window, then he returned to his wooden bed, lay on his back looking at the wood grain on the roof, and gradually fell into a long and quiet sleep.

——If there is a chance to go back to the beginning of the encounter, will you and I have a different ending?
