dance with you

##

The old Pingyuan family house surrounded by mountains is surrounded by layers of impenetrable green forests. Aso Zero’s childhood memories must not be lacking here.

Because of the family relationship, Rei Aso was often entrusted to the Pingyuan family to take care of him, so he had no choice but to grow up with the Pingyuan brothers and sisters.Even then, he didn't have to spend most of his childhood locked in this old house that was about to decay. The Pingyuan family also lived in a prosperous area where humans lived. Heping Yuanling likes it here, because of the unique tranquility and detachment here.In fact, Aso Rei doesn't hate this place, what he hates is being here with those people.He hates the identity of a vampire since he was a child, and even more hates the life of a vampire hiding in the dark.Whenever he stood at the window and looked at the boundless and undulating forest outside, he would feel a sense of suffocation like a cage, as if his life would be imprisoned here forever.

However, what really made Rei Aso hate coming here, and never want to come here again, was the memories of the last time he came here.It was at that time that he "killed" Ping Yuanshu and sealed him in the coffin of this old house forever.

That wasn't the first time Aso Zero had "dueled" with Yuan Shu, the first time, when they were both young.It was also here that time, because Asahi Ling finally couldn't bear the loneliness and walked out of the manor, Ping Yuanling chased him out and wanted to be with him, but Asahi Ling ignored him and walked straight away.In fact, Aso Ling just wanted to go out to relax, but when he came back at night, he realized that Pingyuan Ling hadn't come back yet, and a group of people went out to look for Ping Yuanling again, only to find that Ping Yuanling, who had been weak and sick since childhood, passed out in the forest.

That night, Ping Yuanshu came to Aso Ling's room and challenged Aso Ling to a duel.The boy straightly drew out his saber and pointed at Rei Aso, his eyes staring at Rei Aso were as cold as ice:

"You know the meaning of a duel, right? But, I will definitely win, because I am fighting to protect the one I love, and you are fighting purely for selfish desires."

The duel was finally aborted because the adults came, but the last words that Pingyuan Shu said when he left were firmly imprinted in Aso Rei's memory:

"Aso, if—I mean if—one day, you also have someone you desperately want to protect, then you will understand how I feel right now."

Yeah?If one day, he also has something that he desperately wants to protect... Those words are like a prophecy, like a curse, when Aso Zero falls madly in love with a human woman, he is fascinated by her, even if he is betrayed Regret—that woman was indirectly killed by Ping Yuanshu!Aso Lingcai finally understood the feeling that Ping Yuanshu said back then.

He knew where Ping Yuanshu was waiting for him.This house located in the wilderness is the birthplace of all nightmares.

He pointed the point of his sword at the man's throat, and said:

"I understand how you feel."

Ping Yuanshu just raised his head and smiled slowly at Aso Ling.Later, Aso Ling recalled that it was absurd. Since childhood, the only time he saw Ping Yuanshu smiling at him was actually there. At that time, Ping Yuanshu sat motionless in the rocking chair and calmly greeted death.

Ping Yuanshu shook his head slowly:

"You will never understand. The person you want to protect falls in love with someone. You can see everything she does for that person, and you almost take her nervous and anticipating mood as your own. Because there are also your efforts, how much you want her to be with the person she loves and be happy. But one day, she was betrayed by her lover, and she was distraught. At that time, you were also hurt The heartbroken feeling is far more than a simple empathy. You will never understand this kind of feeling.”

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, and now, Rei Aso is standing here again.Here, it has really fallen down completely. The ruins, together with the memories of Aso Ling, have withered in the distant years. It is no longer the glorious manor a hundred years ago.Aso Ling stood in front of the gate of the manor, and lightly stroked the heavy, dusty copper ring with his hand, as if with just a slight push, memories would rush to his face, so many that he could drown him in an instant.At this time, Aso Ling recalled what Pingyuanshu said to him before he sealed Pingyuanshu.

Yes, Aso Ling couldn't understand the mood that Ping Yuanshu told him at the end, and he still doesn't understand it.Probably didn't even think about it.What Rei Aso wants to know more is—whether there is a knot in his life with Pingyuan Shu, which cannot be untied no matter what, and it is destined that he and Pingyuan Shu will continue to kill each other forever.

He pushed open the gate of the manor mansion, and the harsh sound of "creaking—" seemed to echo hollowly in the whole house.Even though the sun was shining brightly outside at this time, the inside of the house was absolutely dark, oppressive as if no light could penetrate.But the darkness would not affect Rei Aso's vision in any way, he walked in and closed the door behind his back.

Although dilapidated, the furnishings inside the house have not changed at all.The ancient and gorgeous coffin was placed in the center of the hall.

Although he knew that there was no sleeping person inside, he couldn't help but slowly walked forward, looking down at the coffin from above for a long time.Just when he was distracted, Aso Ling suddenly heard a burst of piano sound - the moment it sounded, it was astonishing, and it was slowly flowing down from the dark and unknown sky.

The familiar melody, which revealed a faint sadness quietly, made Aso Ling couldn't help but slowly walked up the stairs next to him, walked through the dark corridor, followed the guidance of the piano sound, and came to the door of the room, and then , just stood quietly outside the door, listening to the sound of the piano, which continued to flow out of it.

Quiet, hazy and lingering, this is a beautiful poem that cannot be described by human language. It seems that there are infinite memories and infinite reverie, all of which are melted in every note that is struck.When the continuous accumulation of feelings finally reached a climax, it soon eased down again, becoming quieter and quieter, as quiet as the endless dark blue sea under the moonlight, deep and silent, and the flow is so deep Can't afford a little wave.

Rei Aso finally pushed the door open and went in, looking at the man who was facing a piano alone in the dark, and slowly said in a hoarse voice:

"Moonlight...why are you playing Moonlight?"

The man with his back turned did not stop playing, but asked him without looking back:

"You, why do you like moonlight..."

When he was silent, the man playing the piano continued softly:

"You obviously hate vampires so much, why do you still like moonlight? Vampires are creatures belonging to moonlight, because we are cold, lonely, and pale, and cannot stand the sun that is too enthusiastic. Only the night can accommodate us, and only the moonlight will not let us It's too dazzling. If that's the case, why are you still attached to the moonlight?"

Zero Aso couldn't answer that question.He also didn't want to get entangled in this issue.

"I'm here, where is Shimizu Yuki?"

"It's a pity you came late, she was killed by me just now."

"Don't lie, Pingyuan Shu, I can understand your piano sound, your current mood is not the mood after you just killed someone. Tell me—Shimizu Yuki, where is it?"

The man's fingers slid slowly on the keys, but he still didn't answer Aso Ling's question. After a while, he said in a low voice:

"Rei Aso, have you ever thought about how selfish you are?"

"..." Aso remained silent.

The man's voice was as gentle as that of the zither, and it seemed to be raving:

"If...you really hate the world of vampires...why...you don't give up your life to feed the tiger, become the king of this world, and let everything in this world be under your control. No one can stop it... But... now you, pretending to be a human being, have nothing to do with all the filth... In fact, you can't get rid of the vampire blood in your body after all, you are just escaping That's all!"

The man's words shocked Aso Ling's whole body, as if seeing a bright lightning in the dark night!That was something Rei Aso had never thought of, it just made Rei Aso tremble when he thought about it—yes, yes... If, if he really hated the vampire world, why didn't he get it, and then smashed it Smash!

but……

Aso Ling suddenly calmed down again:

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Why are you telling me this."

If he really wants to become the king of the vampire world, then he must replace the current king—that is, the man in front of him, Ping Yuanshu!

Aso Zero's performance made Pingyuan Shu let out a mocking laugh:

"I don't disdain such things as the throne. What's more, if you want to take the throne, your biggest enemy is not me, but the veterans of the vampire world. With you and me, it is impossible to defeat those veterans alone, so ..."

Aso Ling stared at Pingyuan Shu: "—So, we are allies again now?"

- Chong!

Ping Yuanshu suddenly strikes a pathetic accent, as the end of the whole song.Ping Yuanshu stood up slowly, supported the piano with one hand, also stared at Rei Aso, and said calmly:

"When everything is done, I will leave the vampire world and take my beloved girl to travel around the human world. The rest, what you like to do has nothing to do with me."

Aso Zero's heart suddenly prickled!Probably...it was because the girl he loved chose someone else after all... Actually, Rei Aso knew this a long time ago, so he withdrew from that competition early on.However, at the moment when he was actually pronounced out, his heart... still couldn't help but ache.However, he has no way out!

Aso Ling slowly stretched out his hand to Ping Yuanshu, his wrist suddenly split open, and dark red blood flowed out from there.

"Should we...should we sign a contract? If someone violates it..."

Before Aso Ling finished speaking, Pingyuan Shu reached out and grabbed Aso Ling's hand.There was also a cut on his wrist, and the blood flowed out from his wound and flowed down, drop by drop, onto Aso Ling's wound.Put on a common shackle for the two of them.

Aso Ling suddenly became a little dazed, and many inexplicable memories suddenly popped up in his mind, pestering him and not allowing him to continue; but he still held Ping Yuanshu's hand tightly, and he heard the man's voice telling, so Low and mumbling, as if it was about to bring him to sleep, to the time that once belonged to only three people.

"Blood as a contract, if there is someone who violates..."

"Punish him... to live in solitude forever."

…………

…………

"--stop!"

With the director's voice, the surrounding lights suddenly lit up!The sudden light made the two people who were still holding each other's hands a little dazed, and then they only heard director Hei happily say:

"Ling Ling and Shu are doing very well! Thank you everyone~ Today's shooting is over, everyone can rest~ Tomorrow morning we will shoot the last scene of the location!"

The celebratory chatter and laughter of each other sounded around them, and it stopped in the ears of the two, but it seemed that it came from another world.Until then, the two hands were separated in a daze.Jiu Lanshu glanced at the person opposite, and the obvious blank expression on the young man's face let Jiu Lanshu know that the young man was still in the play just like himself.

Probably aware of the gaze from the opposite side, Zhui Shengling also raised his eyes and looked at Jiu Lanshu. The purple eyes were no longer the strange eyes when they met before, but full of complexity, as if they were seeing each other for the first time. It seems that they have known each other for a long time, in a trance, everything seems to be in a dream.

"...Nine Lanshu."

Zhui Shengling suddenly spit out the name, as if talking to himself, which made Shu startled.But the boy didn't say any more, turned around, and left with the little assistant who greeted him and greeted him.

But Jiu Lanshu still stood there.He slowly raised the right hand that he had held tightly with the young man just now, and stared at the palm silently for a long time.

The author has something to say:

Moonlight is the Moonlight Sonata. .It's a very, very important song for me
