It was another night, Chao Ci remembered that the full moon that night was unusual, it was the largest and most captivating moon she had ever seen in her life.

When Zhaoci stared at it, thinking of what he said today, the feeling of uneasiness condensed in his heart little by little.

There is a feeling of panic that this bright moon will take away her today.

When I returned to the Fox Cave, I saw that Jinjin had cooked a whole table of sumptuous delicacies, and the round wooden table carefully polished by Chaoci could hardly fit.

Seeing the rich dishes in front of him, the subtle panic in his heart began to emerge again.

"What's the matter?" Jin Jin asked her, "Why are you still standing there, Clover, look, I made osmanthus cake, try it, you will definitely like it."

"Osmanthus cake..." Chaoci's eyes fell on the small plate in Jinjin's hand. The two soft white rice cakes were covered with a layer of amber translucent syrup, which looked crystal clear. Should whet the appetite.

But seeing this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Chao Ci thought of the moon.

"Clover" put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table today, and realized that Chaoci was in a daze.

"Are you leaving me?"

Under the moonlight, Chao Ci seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.Her extremely calm face was so stiff that she couldn't make any expression at this moment, her voice was so soft that it almost disappeared, for fear that a little louder would shatter the illusory happiness of these years.

After looking at her quietly for a while, Jinjin shifted his gaze from her face to the moon.

"I remembered something, I really need to go away for a while, to verify, to unlock the secrets about myself."

I don't know when it started, but the little girl who strayed into Qingqiu at the beginning already has a mature face, and when she speaks seriously, she has a fascinating firmness and deterrent force.

Chao Ci fell silent after hearing her words.

"But I'll be back, give me a while, please, wait for me, Clover."

Looking at Chaoci today, he lowered his head without saying a word, and immediately stepped forward to hold her hand.

Chaoci stared into Jinjin's eyes, this person is still in front of him at this moment, but she will disappear soon.

Her voice, her smell, everything about her will disappear.

will you really come back

Chao Ci really wants to look free and easy, at least not to become a burden today.This sentence was squeezed back and forth in her heart, making her flustered and sad, but when she finally said it, it turned into a joke with a smile.

"You don't have to worry about me." Chaoci hugged Jinjin's waist, rubbed the tip of her nose against her cool little nose, the sound of laughter rang in her ears, and her tail swung slightly behind her, looking like It is full of love and trust in Jinjin.

"Don't you always want to know who you are? If you think about it and want to verify it, I naturally have no reason to stop you. This is your most important thing. Today, I can follow you together are you going?"

Jinjin's delicate brows were slightly frowned, a little confused: "Maybe...you are not suitable to go."

"Hmm." Chao Ci never wanted to be in a difficult situation, not at all, she raised a smile and said softly, "Then I will wait for you at Fox Mountain, and I will always be here waiting for you."

Can you, don't forget me.

This sentence was suppressed in the bottom of her heart, and she has not been able to say it until now.

Now after Jinjin left, she also remained silent, without opening her mouth to say another word.

When Jinjin was here before, she would pick beautiful wild flowers all year round to decorate the fox cave.At first Chaoci found it very troublesome, too girly, and matched her at all.

But as time goes by, Chaoci also unknowingly got used to the days with flowers, like the days that are warm, tidy and full of fragrance, got used to someone who treats her well, and is willing to go to great lengths just to cook her a delicious meal , to take care of her appetite, which she didn't care about originally.

She likes to wake up when someone is talking, someone is fighting, and someone is having a heart-to-heart talk.If someone says a word, she is willing to go to the ends of the earth.

Tired of playing, when she sleeps with someone in her arms, even if she just feels that person's breathing and shallow heartbeat, she feels at ease.

All these habits and things that are taken for granted no longer exist after Jin Jin leaves.

It wasn't until this time that Chaoci discovered that the flowers in the fox's cave had never withered before, and it was precisely because of the diligent replacement and careful care of them today.

But as soon as she left, all the flowers withered.

Like Chaoci's heart.

For a period of time after Jinjin left, she would draw a line on the wall every day, recording how many days Jinjin left.I will also imitate what I have done today, pick some wild flowers and come back to decorate the fox hole, light a fire for myself, cook, and even try to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

She tried to create an atmosphere that still exists today, and somewhat clumsily imitated the happiness she once had.So that when Jinjin comes back, she will find that she has lived a good life during the time she left, and even knows how to cook a lot of dishes.

Every time I say goodbye, I will go to the alfalfa garden to stay, from sunrise to sunset, staring intently at every corner, for fear that she will miss it if it appears again today.

In fact, she also thought about going to the moon to find Jinjin, but even though she has eight tails, she still can't break through the boundary between demon and god, and can't break into the moon palace.

Chao Ci devoted himself to practice, forcing himself into practice day and night.She has never been so eager for a moment to become stronger, eager to tear through the sky, to go to the sky and into the earth to find today's figure.

She was thinking, if she really grows a ninth tail and becomes the legendary fox, will she be able to fly into the Moon Palace, no matter where she is in the Four Realms today, she can be found in any corner of the four worlds, what a pity , Years of hard practice has indeed made her stronger. I am afraid that there is no opponent in the whole Qingqiu, but she still cannot let Chaoci get the last tail.

He wanted to break through the God Realm countless times, but he was always separated by the last impenetrable barrier.

Now the breath of today really dissipated like this, as if it had never appeared in her life.

Days passed day by day, and in the tenth year since today's departure, the fox cave was scratched from the inside to the outside, and the person Chaoci was looking forward to still hasn't come back.

At dawn, when she habitually watched the moon disappear all night, and all the light of hope converged into Chaoci's frozen eyes, she remembered the old slave's words.

"We'll never see each other again."

After a long time, she finally said the first sentence in ten years, talking to herself.

"She's not coming back."

……

After the little rabbit demon of unknown origin left, Fox Mountain became even more desolate and lonely, silent.

The surrounding walls were desolate, and Chaoci turned back into that taciturn monster again.

There is no rule about when to sleep and when to wake up every day.

Lu Jin watched her start to eat raw meat and drink raw water again, didn't know how to cover the rain and didn't know how to add clothes in the winter, the look in her eyes that Jin Jin had managed to raise with great difficulty disappeared because of her departure.

Lu Jin still followed her silently, accompanied her through every silent journey, and stayed with her through all the long nights.

But even if he tried his best to speak thousands of words, Chao Ci couldn't perceive her existence.

Unable to communicate with Chaoci, let alone comfort her, no matter how moved or distressed Lu Jin is, it is difficult to pass on even the slightest bit of warmth that he eagerly wants to give to Chaoci.

This powerlessness allowed her to better understand the torment of Chao Ci alone.

Many times Lu Jin felt that Chaoci had no idea about whether he was alive or not, yet he would still get up with his last breath, eat a few bites of meat and drink a little water after he hadn't eaten for more than a month.

Although he said "she won't come back", Lu Jin understood that in a small corner deep in Chaoci's heart, she was still looking forward to it.

She believes that Jinjin will not deceive her, and Jinjin will definitely fulfill her promise.

Even if ten years passed by in a hurry, even if she didn't hear from her lover at all.

The snow scene of Fox Mountain is actually very beautiful. No matter from any angle, from the alfalfa garden to the mountains and fields, it is a pure vastness.

But no matter how beautiful it is, it has nothing to do with Chaoci.

She plans to hibernate this winter.

Winter is over as soon as you wake up, and you don't have to endure the cold that penetrates your bones.And in hibernation, she can continue to cultivate in the sea of ​​consciousness, killing two birds with one stone.

There's nothing to do when you're awake anyway.

She took pity on this alfalfa garden and sprinkled more foxfire around it, lest the delicate alfalfa grass would freeze to death if left unattended in the winter, thus wasting a little time.

When she was about to go back, she saw a figure swaying towards her in the snowstorm.

It was just an outline, an outline blurred by the tyranny of the world, and Chaoci was stunned. A certain possibility hit her heart and soul instantly, making her even breath disappear.

"Clover..."

Even if it is ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years apart, as long as it is her voice, as long as she is calling, Chaoci can recognize her in an instant and run to her!

During the explosion of sparks, Chaoci had already broken through the increasingly violent snow, and embraced that thin body in his arms.

She actually hugged this person.

This is not a dream.

Chaoci is incredible.

Her Jinjin actually came back.

With a smile, Jinjin raised his hand and patted Chaoci's back lightly, and said softly, "I'm back... big fox. Miss me?"

Chao Ci hugged the lost and recovered treasure tightly, unable to say anything for a while, but just kept nodding, warm tears quickly soaked Jinjin's shoulders.

Today's weak and pleasant laughter stuck to her ears, she smiled and realized that she had lost a lot of weight, so she couldn't help crying along with her.

"I miss you too." Jin Jin held her face and kissed her, "I miss you every day and night, thinking how I can get back to you. I'm sorry... I came back too late. Have you don't hate me"

Chaoci was kissed by her so that his heart burned rapidly, and he pressed her into the snow, the longing and longing that had been suppressed for too long in the bottom of his heart burst out instantly.

The scorching heat burned the wind and snow, and when the dry and dead heart touched the body temperature of the lover, it quickly revived.

Chao Ci understands that her life is in Jinjin's hands.

If you want her to give birth today, she will give birth.If I think of her dead today, she would have died a long time ago.

Two balls of hot flames fell into the snow, and the flames fell all over the ground.

When Chao Ci got carried away, he suddenly smelled a strange smell of blood.

"Jinjin" Chaoci was startled to realize that something was wrong with Jinjin's state, and quickly came back to his senses.

Being hugged today, even though she is surrounded by fox fire, her body has almost no temperature, and the strange smell of blood is indeed coming from her.

Chaoci, who was overjoyed, found out at this moment that Jinjin, who used to clean himself up at all times, is now covered in blood stains.

Today is indeed so weak that he is almost half breathed.

However, the moment she fell into Chao Ci's arms, she felt that she had finally gone through the long hell and returned home.Even though the severe pain was unbearable all over her body, with Chao Ci's embrace, she felt that she could resist all pain.

Jinjin raised his hand with the last bit of strength before he fell into a coma, and caressed Chaoci's back. Even though he was already angry, he still comforted the big fox who was worried because of her.

"Don't worry." Jin Jin stroked her face, his voice became weaker and weaker, "As long as I can go back to Fox Mountain and come back to you, everything... will be fine."

After saying this, she fell into a coma amidst the large snowflakes falling from the sky.
