Journey to the Rose

In the wee hours of the morning, they were climbing the high mountains that straddle the city of Zenith.

Ruan Xi was dazed by the car shaking, and gradually nestled into Lu Zhenghe's warm arms.

He had a dream.

He dreamed that one year, the school organized students to take astrology classes on the playground at night, saying that they had to explain clearly the corners of the four yellow cosmic symbols on the star map, as well as the precession phenomenon that Ruan Xi couldn't understand.

The moment the lights on the playground went dark, Lu Zhenghe suddenly squeezed to his side and took advantage of the crowd to hold his hand.

Later, what the teacher talked about was Pisces and Aquarius, and what vernal equinox and autumnal equinox...

Ruan Xi didn't listen to half a word in a daze.

Later, he failed the final astrology test, and his mind was still full of Lu Zhenghe's warm palms.

Puppy love really affects learning!

In the dream, Ruan Xi subconsciously grabbed Lu Zhenghe's hand.

Lu Zhenghe put the forget-me-not on the tip of his nose and sniffed it all the way, his mind was clear, and he shook it back quickly.

Ruan Xi, who couldn't sleep well, calmed down now, and stuck to him even tighter, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, turned into a large pendant, and hung it directly on Lu Zhenghe.

Lu Zhenghe raised his head and looked out the window, and saw clearly visible stars at a high altitude.

Tonight, there is no snow in Zenith City, and the night sky is getting brighter.

He thought of the night he had taken astrology class years ago.

Ruan Xi is also funny, after holding him, his hands are stronger than him, and he wants to peek at him, but he dare not, his eyes wander to other places, and when he is seriously listening to the class, Ruan Xi's eyes stick to him again , be very careful, until the two people's eyes met, Ruan Xi was taken aback, and said: peek at me.

Lu Zhenghe said frankly, he was right.

In the beginning, Ruan Xi's rank was not as high as Lu Zhenghe's, she blushed and stopped talking, with a smile on her lips, trying to put on a cold look, but Lu Zhenghe had already seen through it.

Before dawn, Ruan Xi woke up.

He found himself being held in Lu Zhenghe's arms.

Ruan Xi was stunned for a moment, then naturally burrowed into Lu Zhenghe's arms and yawned.He was still going to sleep, but Lu Zhenghe followed his back and whispered: "We are going to the snow mountain, do you want to take a look at the scenery?"

"What scenery?" Ruan Xi was a little confused.

"Snow Mountain." Feeling the sudden drop in temperature, Lu Zhenghe added a blanket for him, "A place where we can survive."

Hearing his affirmative words, Ruan Xi woke up suddenly, raised his head in his arms, brushed away the broken hair that covered his eyebrows, and looked at the car window like a cat or dog taken by its owner for a trip.

At this time, a round of rising sun peaked on the snow-capped mountains, the floating clouds were illuminated hazyly, and the whole sky showed an intoxicated color.

The morning wind blows away the clouds and mist, revealing the golden mountain top, the white snow is burning, and the mountain top flows down the mountain.

The sun exploded on the snow-capped mountains, and the gold sprinkled the world.

Standing on the top of the mountain again, looking down from a high place, there is no longer an airport or a city, but a stretch of green mountains.Tiny human beings stand at the top, separating the mountains and plains from the blue sea, forming two worlds that do not interfere with each other for the time being.

White snow only accounts for half of the snow mountain, and the rest is full of green.

The field is green and quiet, and the ocean is mysterious. Yes, the sea, mountains, and sky are now strangely mixed together, making Ruan Xi's heart beat faster, as if he can hear a pulse-like drum coming from the depths of the ground in the next second.

Ahead, the snow-capped mountains stand quietly like a savior. The sky seems to be glowing with a deep purple aurora, which should be the color of the ice reflecting sunlight.

"arrive,"

Lu Zhenghe took a step forward, stood in front of Ruan Xi on the right, looked back at Ruan Xi, the sunshine in the late winter and early spring poured down on his shoulders, his voice was sonorous and powerful, like the sound of a golden sword, "Welcome to the city of the pinnacle."

·

After a city, zenith.

Anyone who grew up on this land knows that at the northern end of the land, there are cities that are powerful throughout the land, and there is also a vast snow-capped mountain towering under the northern sky.

There live the gods, and there is the place closest to the sky.

Seen from a distance, the snow-capped mountains are domes covered with snow, and the snow turns into a thin light of melting, flashing into one piece.

The gate of Zenith City is very majestic. It is a round arch with reliefs symbolizing victory carved on the surface, and there are some northern languages ​​that Ruan Xi can't understand. The overall appearance is simple and solemn.

"Ahead is the city gate!"

When he arrived at his own chassis, Li Shen couldn't relax, he whistled loudly, "Look! Our soldiers have already come out to meet him!"

He was humming a little tune, holding the steering wheel in one hand and the binoculars in the other, as if he was going to fly along with the flags flying in front of the city gate, which naturally provoked a beating from Wen Kai, asking if he could drive properly Don't make fun of other people's lives!

As Ruan Xi thought, what greeted them was a rather glorious triumphant ceremony.

As soon as the armored convoy entered the city, golden crumbs of victory flew all over the sky, and the band played northern songs, which Ruan Xi had never heard.

The flowers fell under the hub and were crushed to pieces. The shouts from the soldiers' throats shattered the sky. Ruan Xi saw familiar faces in the front row of the soldiers, all of whom had met before.

The people who welcome them are not huge crowds, but "many people" who are already Ruan Xili.

As a junior, he spends most of his life on how to skip classes, how to avoid his eyes, how not to become his father's "nail", and he has never participated in the grand events in Ablaze City, let alone, all the people in the city The strength of the family is comparable, and there is no one who can block the sky with one hand like the Wei family.

Wen Kai said that most of the residents in the city have gone to the snow-capped mountains, and there are not many staying in the city.

Ruan Xi blinked and asked, is the only place that will not sink in the prophecy is the snow mountain?Wen Kai shook his head, saying no, this "mountain top" should include the city of Zenith.

"It should be," Ruan Xi winked at him, "do you feel less afraid of death now?"

"Don't be afraid, we'll wait until the wedding is over before we leave," Wen Kai replied.

"Then go to Snow Mountain to do it!"

Ruan Xi wrinkled the tip of her nose, her bottom sparkled, and her eyes followed the cheering crowd outside the window, "I just need a groom, a master of ceremonies, and a suitable ring... But, didn't you come to pick me up secretly? Why is there such a big battle when you come back?"

"It must be Mr. Wei's fault." Wen Kai rubbed his chin, his voice lowered. "His death is long, and there is only one time left. Naturally, we must establish prestige."

In order to be on the safe side, Ruan Xi adhered to her long-standing habit of covering her face with a half-mask to show people, only half of her face also attracted a lot of attention.Even through the car window, some people began to discuss whether the person in the car was the omega brought back by the Lord, one of the legends on land, Ruan Xi.

Another god.

Ruan Xi gradually discovered that he no longer hated these gods so paranoidly.

People are curious, and they don't necessarily have malicious intentions, do they?Since there is no way to spy on other people's thoughts, then don't block yourself.

Sensing more and more gazes, Ruan Xi was a little nervous, and quickly pushed the car window to the highest position, turned around and approached Lu Zhenghe, "Where are we going now?"

Lu Zhenghe reached out to pick him up a little bit, and said, "Go to the army camp."

"Why don't you go home?"

"Not safe."

"what happened?"

"I still don't know what my father's attitude is." Lu Zhenghe lowered his head, rubbed his frowning brows away, and continued: "It is indeed the omega he assigned to me, that's right, his eldest son is dead now, I don't know what he did Think. It’s not safe to stay at home, so follow me to the army camp.”

"it is good."

Ruan Xi thought of the "Mr. Wei" who always appeared in Wen Kai's mouth with a chill, so she couldn't help being wary.

"Lord," Li Shen turned around after listening to the words in the headset, with a smile in his eyes, "Bo Yang said that the dresses have arrived in the camp, so let's try them on quickly. He said that the owner of the clothing store and his family will be wearing them at night. Going up the snow mountain, time is running out. Oh, and, the kind of ring I want..."

dress?

Ruan Xi looked back at Lu Zhenghe, wedding?

Lu Zhenghe nodded, then looked at Li Shen, and compared his lips with his index finger: "Shh."

Wen Kai also pinched him: What are you talking about about the ring?

"Yes, I forgot it was a secret, so Ruan Xi pretended not to hear it!"

After Li Shen finished speaking, Wen Kai took out his notepad and asked casually, "Ruan Xi, do you have any requirements for the dress? When we get to the camp, we will have more time. I can go shopping. There are also wedding candies." After our creative screening, we decided to combine the pheromone flavor with the Lord, and decided to buy liqueur chocolate, brackets, and rose flavors. But Lord, Ruan Xi’s pheromone smell is definitely not something we sniffed, it’s..."

"Okay." Wen Kai interrupted him.

"Require……"

Ruan Xi really didn't think about it.

Yes, it's really romantic to discuss the clothes you need to wear for the wedding with your friends and lovers.

He thought of the black cloak embroidered with stars.

The dress he wore to the so-called pre-wedding "single party" has been permanently left in the river in Glacier City.

He still remembered that there were words embroidered on the cloak, and the steward said that it was a traditional and ancient blessing, expressing the hope that Ruan Xi would be happy and meet true love.

It sounded ironic at the time, but now that I think about it, it really is.The blessing worked.

Ruan Xi hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I want a cloak, black. There are stars on it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhenghe immediately understood what he meant, and turned his head to look at him with a smile.His frowning expression made Ruan Xi want to laugh, and wanted to ask him what he wanted to do, did he want to be beaten? Lu Zhenghe!

"The cloak...do you want a black one? Isn't the red one festive?" Li Shen muttered as he said.

"Soil is not soil!" Wen Kai said.

"Black," Ruan Xi thought for a while, "everything!"

Let everything go back to the beginning, back to the first day we just met.

Whether it was four years ago, or a few months ago.

Zenith·114 Getting married is a big deal.
