Half-dead paulownia

Eternity only exists in a moment, because only that moment will last forever. Even if the warm companionship is fleeting, it will always be engraved in the heart in the cycle of memory, never increasing or decreasing, never leaving or abandoning, never born and never destroyed.

(Huanzhao Capital)

The bright moon was in the sky, elongating the shadows of the two leaving hand in hand, and the dark reflection made the frost-like road even more pale and blurred.

There are no more tears, no more expectations, no more light, the only thing left is the collapsed soul, and the corpse-like body, everything was quietly followed by Anling Yuhao just now Ling Zining saw it in her eyes and engraved it in her heart.

Ling Zining behind the rockery just sat silently on the icy ground, why did the heart that was still hot in his chest suddenly become so cold and biting, as if he couldn't feel its existence, did he just die like this?Did the only flame that was once beating go out like this?

"Haha...hahahahaha, I hate all of you, and I want you all to pay me back." Ling Zining, who had been staring blankly, suddenly laughed to himself, and then muttered in bits and pieces.

(On Huanzhao Guodu Street Market)

At night, the market scene in Huanzhao Kingdom is even more charming. Vendors are busy hawking goods, and there are all kinds of goods. Artists are busy performing their unique skills, and there are endless applause. Occasionally, children run past, jostling those passers-by for fun. The dragon boats in the river in the distance are also decorated with lights and firecrackers, as if singing girls are performing. This scene makes people linger and forget to return.

"Why don't you ask me how I speak?" Xiao Jinmo asked curiously.

"Because I know you will tell me." An Ling Yuhao looked confident.

"You... I just don't want to tell you, just treat it as an eternal secret." Xiao Jinmo said in a coquettish tone, because he was once again seen through by An Ling Yuhao, and I really don't understand why An Ling Ling Yuhao knew him so well, even if there was something needless to say, he knew it all.

"Of course, I'm just afraid that if you hold it in your heart for a long time, it will grow moldy. You can't blame me at that time." Anling Yuhao teased Xiao Jinmo intentionally. He naturally knew in his heart that if necessary, Xiao Jinmo would definitely He would tell him that, besides, he has been pretending not to speak these days, there must be something unspeakable, so it shouldn't be difficult for others.

"Then don't blame you and who do you blame?" Xiao Jinmo asked back unreasonably, with this rogue look, he still had Anling Yuhao's demeanor.

"Ah? It turns out that the famous Mr. Xiao would be so unreasonable. I really appreciate it." Although Anling Yuhao saw Xiao Jinmo's appearance, he felt sweet in his heart. Xiao Jinmo who is so unrestrained is What he has never seen before is that everyone is not a god-man, and cannot be perfect for everyone. When he can truly be unscrupulous, it is someone to rely on.

"I don't dare to say that I have been taught. I can only say that we can learn from each other. This trick is what I learned from Prince Anling." Xiao Jin Moming satirized Anling Yuhao from the side, but his face There was a happy smile on his face.

"Xiao Jinmo, are you praising me?" Anling Yuhao had a helpless expression, and in his eyes, he really became a playboy.

"If you are willing to understand it that way, I have no objection." After finishing speaking, Xiao Jinmo hurried away.

"Xiao Jinmo, stop for me." An Ling Yuhao shouted, and chased after him.

The cool breeze is coming, but it is also mixed with the taste of happiness.Among the hustle and bustle of the crowd, just this kind of shuttling and playing, just inadvertently is so satisfying.

Walking around in each booth, the two seemed to be so interested in everything, looking at jewelry for a while, listening to music for a while, and then plunged into the crowd of acrobats without paying attention, as if the whole market had become a paradise for the two of them , that smile that has been hanging all the time, renders this beautiful world.

"Ahem..." Xiao Jinmo suddenly coughed violently.

"Xiao Jinmo, what's wrong with you?" An Ling Yuhao asked nervously.

"It's okay, I'm afraid I'm a little tired, ahem... just take a break." Xiao Jinmo gasped for breath, but still smiled. He didn't want Anling Yuhao to worry too much. His physical condition was only his own. Nothing could be clearer.He wants to use the little time he has left to fulfill his obligations.

"There are very flat stone steps on the river bank ahead. The scenery is beautiful and it looks quiet. Why don't you go there and have a rest." Even after hearing Xiao Jinmo say that there is no serious problem, Anling Yuhao still couldn't let himself not care No matter what, he didn't want to see Xiao Jinmo suffer any more.

"En." Gently promised, the two walked slowly.

"Xiao Jinmo, sit here and wait for me. I'll come whenever I go. You must wait for me honestly and don't run around anymore." Anling Yuhao suddenly instructed, pointing to the stone steps, as if ordering a child, Although so worried, I still have to leave.

"Well, I'll wait for you here." Xiao Jinmo replied seriously, and Anling Yuhao left in a hurry with some relief.

Slowly sitting on the stone steps, the wide river is in front of you, the shadows of the surrounding trees are reflected in the water, sparkling, and the moonlight is still bright and clear, making the water more sparkling and attractive, as if covered with a layer of silver veil, mysterious And ethereal.

Xiao Jinmo stretched out his fingers unconsciously, and touched the water surface. With a light tap, there were circles of ripples.

Suddenly, I found some light appeared in the upper reaches of the river not far from me, dots of stars, looming, like the bright starlight in the sky falling into this mortal dust, before my fingers left the water, something touched my cold hand, unexpectedly It is a pink paper lotus flower with flames burning inside, floating towards itself one by one, extremely beautiful.

Unconsciously intoxicated by such a scene, he gently stopped a lotus flower, held it carefully in the palm of his hand, and suddenly found that there were words on the petals of the flower. After carefully identifying it, he saw that it said: "May Xiao Jinmo's body be healthy as soon as possible." "Can't help being surprised, picked up another one, wrote on it: "May Xiao Jinmo be happy in this life", and hurriedly picked up another one, "I am willing to bear all the pain for Xiao Jinmo"

It suddenly became clear that those blazing flames were not flowing through rivers, but Xiao Jinmo's heart, the heat of each flower was being transmitted, and the light of each flower was illuminating.So the cold tears that were familiar in the memory became warm and flowed quietly.

Quickly looking back, Anling Yuhao had already stood silently behind him, quietly looking at the man in front of him who he was content with just waiting quietly, it turned out that he could really just stare beside him, but he would forget his melancholy.

"It is said that if you write blessings in the river lanterns, the river god will see the sincerity, and it will come true. Do you like these river lanterns?" Anling Yuhao asked gently.

"Hmm..." There was no too much answer, because the tears had already imprisoned the words.

"Tears are bitter, so I won't let you shed any more tears for me, not even a single drop." An Ling Yuhao walked slowly in front of Xiao Jinmo, and gently wiped away the tears for him. At this moment, he finally found For that person, the words I told Liu Meng when I was a child, one day in the future, I will definitely not let my beloved cry, not even a single drop!Unexpectedly, a sentence that he didn't understand when he was young, now let him taste it all. The determination and promise in childhood turned into the vow and persistence of this time.

"You did it, it's no longer bitter." Xiao Jinmo said seriously, even though the tears still couldn't stop.

"Don't worry, let me taste all the bitterness in the future." Gently hugging Xiao Jinmo into his arms, he whispered in his ear.

If this is a kind of promise, how can you expect how to fulfill it in that lifetime?If you can predict the rapid changes in the future, will you still have no regrets?It's a pity that no one can control life, even if it's your own life in your hands, it's up to you and me, no wonder the world.

"Why is there no word in this lotus flower?" Xiao Jinmo looked at each paper lantern passing by seriously like a child, unwilling to miss one.

"Because this is for you, I want you to realize your wish." Anling Yuhao said thoughtfully, he had already prepared pen and ink just now, and specially set aside a few flowers so that Xiao Jinmo could write his wish on it, and then Realize soon.But he didn't expect Xiao Jinmo to look at each flower carefully.

Gently picked up the pen, looked at Anling Yuhao in front of him, and wrote with the pen: "May Anling Yuhao become a sage monarch of a generation", "May Anling Yuhao love the people like a son, and be sympathetic to the people" "Enjoy peace forever" is elegant and powerful, which is enough to see the sincerity and hope of the person who wrote the inscription.

An Ling Yuhao, who was at the side, looked at each line of the inscription, and his expression changed little by little. The joy he had just now was completely gone, and only his expressionless face was left.

"Xiao Jinmo, I don't want to be an emperor anymore, I don't want to govern the country, I just need to live a simple life with you, isn't it good like this?" Some excitement.

"If that's the case, I'm uneasy." Xiao Jinmo just uttered these few words lightly, but expressed his thoughts clearly.How could I not want to live like this?How could I not want to join hands with you?I just want to compare the lives of the people in the world with myself, so how dare I ask extravagantly?

"Then you want me to let you go and save the world? I will never do that." An Ling Yuhao once again emphasized his attitude, which was unquestionably firm.

"Anling Yuhao, it's different this time." Xiao Jinmo looked at Anling Yuhao calmly.

"What's the difference?" Anling Yuhao was a little puzzled.

"I would like to accompany you back to Anling Kingdom this time. I want to see with my own eyes how you can realize my wish. You can do it, right?" Xiao Jinmo said after taking a deep breath. Hao going back together will inevitably add a lot of trouble, but he has already made enough preparations to face it, and the will of the two of them will be invincible if they face it together.
