Half-dead paulownia

(in Ling Zhuoxi's guest room)

"Looking at the sky covered with snowflakes outside, and the world being illuminated silvery white, I feel so sad, really sad, but I don't know why." Xiao Jinmo said with a sob, but he never turned his head, just kept looking at Opposite window.

"With me here, you won't be sad anymore." Ling Zhuoxi said softly.

"Will you be here all the time?"

"I will always be there."

"Won't it hurt if you're here?"

"I'll help you heal your pain."

"But who are you?"

"I will always be the one standing behind you."

"Thank you." Looking back, tears were streaming down his face.

Gently hugged into my arms, so warm, why is it not the nostalgia and expectation that my heart wants?

Soaking in melancholy, causing sorrow, the distance that is close at hand, but the happiness that is far away.

(In Anling Yuhao's room)

"Little prince, everything has been taken care of. There are basically guest rooms available. There are only three people who book the inn, and we still have to book the inn." Liu Meng said angrily.

"It might be inconvenient."

"That wouldn't be so wasteful, little prince, isn't it cold with the windows open?" Liu Meng walked to the window as he spoke.

"As long as your heart is not cold, you will feel warm." An Ling Yuhao replied quietly.

"There are two people in the opposite room?"

"Ah."

"It looks like a husband and wife at first glance, such a happy hug."

"Liu Meng, does hugging make you happy?"

"Then if you are not happy, why do you still want to hug?"

"Perhaps." An Ling Yuhao didn't continue, but still quietly looked at the opposite room, looking at the blurred people in the room.

Anling Yuhao also didn't know whether it was too far away to make the vision unclear, or the remaining liquid in his eyes blurred his vision.

(in Ling Zhuoxi's guest room)

"Come and taste the food I cooked myself, don't disappoint my kindness." Ling Zhuoxi helped Xiao Jinmo sit down, and said proudly.

"You did it yourself?" Xiao Jinmo asked in surprise.

"That's natural, so you have to eat it all." Ling Zhuoxi said rascally.

"Eat them all, how is it possible?" Xiao Jinmo said aggrievedly.

"Okay then, I'll feed you myself, and you have to eat all of it." Before Xiao Jinmo could answer, Ling Zhuoxi picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and put it to his mouth.

"I can do it myself." Xiao Jinmo said cautiously.

"I see that you don't have the strength to hold the bowls and chopsticks. You are a patient now, and the patient needs to take good care of you. Open your mouth quickly." Hearing Ling Zhuoxi's words, Xiao Jinmo opened her mouth in embarrassment.

"That's right, such Xiao Jinmo is sensible."

"Who is Xiao Jinmo?" Just a light question, Ling Zhuoxi froze there, his eyes filled with endless sadness, did he even forget himself?

"He...he is the person I care about most in my life."

"Is he fine?"

"In my eyes, everything is fine with him."

"Then you like him very much?" Xiao Jinmo asked curiously, but the face of the man in front of him turned red.

"I... probably." He stammered.

"Hehe...Young master is so cute."

"Then who are you?" Ling Zhuoxi asked tentatively.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce, my name is Xiao Feng'er, and I grew up in Yonghua since I was a child."

"Xiao Feng'er, are you sure?"

"Of course, I don't know my own name?"

"Has it always been called that name?"

"Yes, our neighbors all know about it."

"Then your father?"

"My father's name is Xiao Su."

"Is your father a teacher?"

"How could my father be a teacher? My father works in the Yamen."

"That's it." This time Ling Zhuoxi was completely disappointed, even he himself wondered who the person in front of him was, whether these were memory confusions, or were they forcibly poured in, in short, Ling Zhuoxi was already full of doubts at this time, into chaos.

(In the guest rooms of Anling Capital, Come Inn, and Ling Zhuoxi)

Untouchable pain, unspeakable sorrow, even though the years have passed, I still remember the momentary gaze of the purple-clothed boy.

Ling Zhuoxi fed Xiao Jinmo carefully, scooped up the clear soup, and blew it gently, for fear of accidentally scalding the man in front of him who no longer recognized him.

"You asked me so many questions, but I still don't know your name." Xiao Jinmo said pretending to be dissatisfied.

"That's right, I also forgot to introduce myself, I'm Xialing Zhuoxi, from Huanzhao Kingdom."

"Huanzhao Kingdom?"

"Well, have you heard?"

"Of course I have heard of it. I heard that it is also very prosperous there. People's lives are prosperous, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe."

"That's true."

"Then what are you doing here?"

"It's to deal with some things."

"Oh, it's work."

"You can say that."

"Then you have to stay with us for a while longer, we have a lot more fun here."

"is it?"

"Yes, if there is a chance, I can show you around the capital of Anling."

"Okay, it's a deal, don't renege on it then."

"How come? You are my savior."

"Okay, it's getting late, you should take a good rest, you have to go home early tomorrow morning." Ling Zhuoxi put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said with concern.

"Well, take a good rest, so that father and brother won't be in a hurry when they see it." Xiao Jinmo followed suit.

"That's right, close your eyes quickly." Ling Zhuoxi said like coaxing a child.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Xiao Jinmo asked curiously.

"I'll just watch you sleep."

"How can I do that? You should also take a good rest." Xiao Jinmo said anxiously.

"It doesn't matter, it's enough for me to watch Feng'er sleep."

"No, you have to sleep too, or I won't sleep either." Xiao Jinmo strongly objected.

"Feng'er..." "Then I really don't want to sleep anymore, let's just sit like this all night." Xiao Jinmo said angrily.

"Well, I really can't do anything about you, I'll just rest next door, if you have anything to do, come to me anytime, you know?" Ling Zhuoxi said helplessly.

"Yes, I see." Xiao Jinmo happily agreed when he heard him say that.

"Then I'll go out first, if there's anything, don't forget to let me know." Ling Zhuoxi asked worriedly.

"I remember, why are you talking like my brother?" Xiao Jinmo agreed over and over again.

"Then I'm really going out, you..."

"I remember, I have something to ask you." Before Ling Zhuoxi could finish repeating again, Xiao Jinmo directly answered him again and again.

"Hehe..." Ling Zhuoxi smiled embarrassedly, but turned around and left reluctantly.

The cutting is constant, and the reasoning is still chaotic.Forget the time, but never forget the nostalgia.

After Ling Zhuoxi left the room, Xiao Jinmo, who was lying on the bed, couldn't fall asleep.Sitting up, lying on the window sill, I couldn't help but look at the dim candlelit guest room opposite.He knew that there was also a guest standing by the opposite window who couldn't sleep peacefully like him. On such a quiet night, he was destined to light the lamp in memory, like a dream.

For some reason, Xiao Jinmo inexplicably thought of the boy he risked his life to save that day, where he was now, and how he was doing.Is there still a scene from that day in his memory?I am still waiting to meet you again, but have you never had a memorial to me in your heart?

Xiao Jinmo was still looking ahead silently, and his heart was throbbing again, but there was always a vague figure in his mind, with an indistinct face and an untouchable distance, as if unwilling to give up, Always looming in the bottom of my heart.

(In Anling Yuhao's room)

"Why are you so irritable tonight?" An Ling Yuhao whispered.

Putting on his clothes, he went back to the window and looked inadvertently. It seemed that there was only one person standing in front of the window.It seems that I am not the only one with sleepless nights.If it wasn't for your appearance, how could it keep me awake at night like a short-lived epiphyllum?Every night, alone and speechless, the hidden sadness is like thousands of tiny worms, gnawing away at the flesh and bones.Regret, or nostalgia?There are too many things that can't be distinguished, and the prosperity of this troubled world is only the withered branches and buds all over the ground.

In the cold night and the falling white snow, bits and pieces flew into the house. In an instant, the warmth ended the splendor, leaving only traces everywhere. It turns out that warmth will melt everything.

(In Xiao Jinmo's guest room)

Ling Zhuoxi stood quietly beside Xiao Jinmo's bed, silently looking at his happy sleeping face, his peerless face, the messy hair bun fell on his face at will, but the unyielding blood flowed in his frail body, trembling slightly Eyelashes, slightly cramped breathing, is an illusory dream.I don't know if he lived happily in this dream.Ling Zhuoxi reached out and gently brushed the hair on his face, gently and slowly, "Xiao Jinmo, when will you remember me?" Ling Zhuoxi was secretly lonely.

"Mmm... Young Master Ling." Xiao Jinmo's lazy voice came.

"You...you're awake, I'm sorry, I disturbed you." Ling Zhuoxi said apologetically.

"Oh, it's nothing, it should be morning now."

"Well, it's already dawn."

"Is it dawn?" Xiao Jinmo rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"That's right, it snowed all night last night, but today it's sunny." Ling Zhuoxi said happily.

"Great, then I'm going to get ready to go home."

"Don't you want to eat something before you go?"

"No, I want to see my father and brother soon."

"Alright, I'll go with you."

"You really want to go back with me?"

"Why, you don't want to take me as a guest?"

"No, you are my savior. It's too late to be grateful. I should invite you to my house to treat me well."

"Then what are you waiting for? I can't wait."

"Yeah. Let's go right away." Xiao Jinmo responded happily.

(In Anling Yuhao's guest room—)

"Little prince, did you sleep well last night?" Liu Meng came to Anling Yuhao's room early in the morning after preparing food and drinks.

"Very good. How about you?" An Ling Yuhao replied affirmatively.

"I'm actually not used to it. When I move to a new place, I can't sleep."

"Is there still this habit?"

"Well, since I've been peeing since I was a child, I actually hate strange places."

"Just like you were not used to it when you first came to the palace."

"Yeah." Liu Meng replied nervously.

"Still homesick?"

"So what? It's gone after all." Liu Meng said with dim eyes.

"Don't worry, with me now, this family will never disappear." An Ling Yuhao patted Liu Meng's shoulder and said firmly.

"The little prince..."

"Okay, I don't see your expression now. Hurry up and have breakfast, and then set off. We can't afford to delay any longer."
