dance with you

26.

An ancient manor hidden in the mountains and forests.They quietly walked through the broken walls of the entire courtyard and arrived at the gate of the manor mansion.

Xing Lian went up first, Zhui Shengling turned around, stood on the broken steps at the castle gate, and looked around the entire courtyard in front of him.Hundreds of years of vicissitudes have left marks of knives and axes here, and there are many scars and spots everywhere. However, in the eyes of Zhui Shengling, she is still so beautiful and charming, hiding an unspeakable mystery And an inexplicable, nostalgic power.Cone Shengling couldn't help taking a deep breath of air, as if he could smell the coolness of the distant forest.Cone Shengling likes it here, and when he thinks that he can live here with the one he loves, he likes it even more.

Xing Lian opened the heavy door, and in the distant and hollow sound of "creaking", Xing Lian leaned slightly:

"—Welcome home, Zero-sama."

The cold water-like air greeted Cone Health Zero.Cone Shengling stepped in slowly, and couldn't help looking up at the colorful dome above and the sculptures and murals on the four walls. Those ancient and exquisite works of art made Cone Shengling amazed. Looking at every corner, the entire hall echoed with the sound of Zhe Shengling's "rustling" footsteps.

But after a while, the expression on the boy's face finally changed from anticipation to apprehension, and finally, to disappointment. He turned around silently in the empty hall and looked at the woman behind him:

"...You said that Shu is here."

"Your Majesty is indeed here."

"Then why doesn't he come to see me?"

"I don't know. All the answers are in the last recording left by the Priest."

Cone Shengling looked at Xinglian.He knew that the woman must know the answer, but the woman couldn't say it, probably because... only he can do it by himself to make Shu appear.

Thinking about it, Zhuo Shengling couldn't help but clenched the recording pen again. What did Shu want to convey to him with that simple piece of music?

The young man was still standing there meditating, while Xing Lian walked straight towards the stairs beside him, saying:

"Master Zero, let me take you to live first."

##

At night, Zhui Shengling lay in the rocking chair.The window next to him was open, and the recording pen was placed on the table by his hand, replaying the "rustling" noise and the last piece of piano music over and over again.Zhui Shengling was listening to the recording, thinking slowly while blowing the cool breeze.

Xing Lian said that the bedroom Zhui Shengling lived in was Jiu Lanshu's bedroom when he was a child, and the words "Jiu Lanshu" alone were enough to make Zhui Shengling miss this place deeply. Subconsciously looking at the room, imagining every move Jiu Lanshu used to live here, Zhui Sheng couldn't help but smile.

During the recording, the piano music started again.Originally, Zhuo Shengling was not very good at the piano, but he also liked to improvise some small tunes according to his mood. I don’t know why, this tune is so easy to remember. When I heard it for the first time that day, the melody was firmly engraved. In the mind of Cone Shengling, he can no longer forget it.Up to now, after listening to this melody over and over again, Zhuo Shengling can almost hum it from beginning to end, and even imagine himself playing this melody... In fact, the first time I heard it When listening to this song, didn't a picture emerge in my mind?That's exactly how I played this piece of music, but at that time, there was a little boy beside me, and I seemed to be teaching that little boy to play.Because the mind was too trance at that time, Zhuo Shengling had already forgotten the front face of that child. Looking back now, it was just inexplicably familiar...

Wait - play? !

Zhui Shengling suddenly shuddered, and his wandering mind was pulled back to reality! ——Why, why does Zhuo Shengling suddenly feel that the piano music that he is hearing in his ears is not coming from the recorder, but from outside the window? !

Zhui Shengling straightened up involuntarily, and listened intently.The cool wind blowing in from the window seemed to really bring the faint sound of the piano, and it was the same melody as the recording pen!Suddenly, Zhuo Shengling felt a burst of ecstasy——that could only be Shu!It could only be him!Somewhere in this manor is playing this piece of music!

Zhui Shengling "Huo!" stood up from the rocking chair and rushed out of the room door. However, after opening the door, the whole dark corridor outside made Zhui Shengling stunned for a moment, at a loss as to where he should go. Which way to go, subconsciously took steps towards the end of the corridor.

There is a room at the end of the corridor.Zhui Shengling walked slowly to the door, and put his hand on the doorknob. He felt as if he was facing a Pandora's box, and there were countless unknown things hidden behind the door.Cone Shengling regained his composure, and pushed the door open in one breath—however, he was disappointed, there was no one in the room.

However, there is indeed a piano in the room.Just put it by the window.The window was actually open, and the moonlight was shining on the open space next to the window. Zhui Shengling walked over, and from the window, he could still see a round of bright moon outside, which had slowly risen above the forest tops.

This is a woman's bedroom, probably because no one has lived in it for too long, so it is full of dust everywhere.Cone Shengling looked back from the window.Immediately afterwards, it landed on the piano in front of the window, on which was placed a small vertical photo frame.Cone Shengling reached out and took down the small photo frame, wiped off the same dust that was also covered on the mirror, and the picture in the photo was clearly presented in front of Cone Shengling's eyes—for a moment, there were some buried memories again, One after another, they all returned to Cone Shengling's mind.

The black-haired boy in the photo is snuggling beside the beautiful woman.Cone Shengling's eyes fixed on the boy for a long time, the boy was smiling like moonlight, such a warm and peaceful smile... Cone Shengling suddenly felt a burst of heartache! ——It turns out that boys used to be able to smile like this!However, the expression I could see afterwards, even though it was gentle from the bottom of my heart, was still cautious, as if it was sunlight in winter separated by a thin layer of ice.What, took away his smile!Why, I couldn't bring back his smile!

Thinking about it, Cone Shengling couldn't help reaching out and lifting the piano cover.The black and white keys were still so bright and clean. Cone Shengling's fingers lightly placed on them, and unconsciously moved to the first key at the beginning of the piece.As if he was trying to test something, he pressed it lightly, listening to the lonely and cold sound of the piano, unconsciously, the melody flowed out from under his fingers, and he silently began to play the piece—— "DancewithU/ Dance with You".

The moonlight is quiet, and his playing is also quiet.Cone Shengling was completely immersed in the sound of his own piano, forgetting everything about the outside world.The last note of the whole piece is connected to the first note at the beginning. After playing the first time, he went straight to the second time, playing it over and over again, as if he would never know how to get tired, as if he wanted to use this This song brings back the soul that sleeps in this dark night.

What made Zhui Shengling's piano sound come to an abrupt end was a voice suddenly coming from behind.That immature voice woke Cone Sheng Ling Meng out of his intoxication, and when he turned around, he saw a boy standing there who didn't know when he was behind him, with night-like black hair and wine-red eyes Wide open, at this moment, actually looking at Cone Shengling, weeping in a daze.

"You...why...you play this piece..."

The boy repeated his words again, staring at Cone Shengling.And Cone Shengling's gaze moved from the boy to the frame, and back to the boy from the frame. Suddenly, he smiled as if suddenly enlightened, met the boy's gaze, and said softly:

"Have you forgotten? We had a promise that we would meet again. This time, I will greet you with a smile."

The boy looked at Ai Shengling in disbelief, speechless.However, before he could say anything - he was suddenly hugged into a hug!Cone Shengling hugged the boy tightly, as if he was afraid that the boy would disappear in front of him!Cone Shengling trembled uncontrollably, crying and laughing again and again:

"Shu! Shu... Finally, I see you again... I see you again!..."

Cone Shengling's tears flowed down the boy's neck.The boy trembled slightly, and the movement that he wanted to struggle out of Zhui Shengling's arms slowly stopped.He let Zhui Shengling hug him, and even hugged him back, patted Zhui Shengling gently, as if Zhui Shengling was a child who needed comfort.

"Sorry, I lost my composure..."

Finally, Zhuo Shengling let go of the boy and retracted his body, but his eyes still stayed on the boy in disbelief. In the moonlight, he carefully looked up and down the boy in front of him, as if he was confirming repeatedly. It flowed down in a daze:

"I just can't believe it...is this a dream..."

"This is not a dream."

The boy helped Cone Health Zero to confirm:

"I heard the piano sound in my room and felt strange, so I came here."

—isn't it a dream? !So, did I really go back to the past and saw the childhood Jiu Lanshu? !Is all this the arrangement of the hub?However, after all, I am not a person of this time and space, and I cannot stay here forever. Shu happened to choose this node to let me come back. What is the purpose?

Cone Shengling was thinking, but the boy asked again:

"Now tell me, who are you? Why are you in my mother's room?"

"Your mother's?"

Cone Shengling was taken aback for a moment.As an "experienced person", Zhui Shengling knew the final destination of that beautiful woman, but now...

Cone Shengling couldn't help but tentatively asked:

"Where is your mother now?"

"My lord father and my lord mother are at the ball downstairs, with the guests."

Hearing this answer, Zhuo Shengling couldn't help being shocked: This is even earlier than the time when I came back here last time!Jiu Lanshu's parents have not been murdered because of the power struggle!Does this mean - I still have a chance!If you have a chance, keep your smile!

Zhui Shengling didn't answer the boy's question for a long time, the boy thought he was worried, and said:

"I'm not going to tell my mother about your trespassing in her room, but you're going to tell me—why, you play that piece?"

This question made Cone Shengling unable to answer.In fact, he wondered—why, would the boy know that tune?Isn't that supposed to teach the boy to play when he came here after both his parents passed away?Why, the timeline seems to be out of order?

"Just a riff."

Cone Sheng Zero replied vaguely.Seeing the thoughtful expression on the boy's face, he quickly changed the subject:

"Is there a dance downstairs? Why don't you go to it?"

The boy said lightly:

"Not interested."

Based on what Cone Shengling knew about that person, Cone Shengling knew that the boy was not telling the truth.As the child of the King of Pure Blood, he probably learned to be wary of strangers since he was a child. The current self, after all, is just a stranger he met for the first time, and he has done so many abrupt things to him. Cone Shengling felt very lucky that he could still treat himself like this.

Just as the two of them were silent and didn't know what to say, the atmosphere was slightly awkward, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open - a maid rushed in with a "wow!" and saw the boy, as if she had finally caught the straw. Crying in panic:

"Master Shu! So you are here! The downstairs is already in a mess, so hurry up and have a look downstairs! Madam and Master, he, they...!"

The boy was taken aback!Before the maid finished speaking, he frowned and rushed out!When the incident happened suddenly, Zhuo Shengling was also startled for a moment, and then rushed out after the boy!Running out of the room, I saw the boy running quickly across the corridor and rushing down the stairs like crazy! ——I have never seen a boy so restless, and a strong sense of ominousness involuntarily rushed to Zhuo Shengling's body, and a terrible guess suddenly crossed Zhui Shengling's mind—could it be...could it be...that he happened to be Back to the stormy night when Cone Zero's parents were murdered? !

The magnificent Jiulan Family's ancestral house is brightly lit tonight, and the orchestra is playing in unison. All the top figures in the vampire world gather here to celebrate the [-]th birthday of the pure-blood king Jiulanyou.However, what should have been a peaceful and jubilant atmosphere, when Cone Shengling arrived at the scene, the whole scene seemed to be frozen. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath, and there was no smile on their faces. The air was oppressive and dignified .Cone Shengling glanced over the crowd, and saw the boy silently walked to the center of the hall, talking to the pale woman, but the woman just shook her head slowly.Cone Shengling couldn't help asking the person next to him what happened just now, and the answer he got really coincided with the ominous premonition in his heart——

"The king was murdered."

Jiu Lanyou, Shu's father, was murdered!In the ancestral house of the Jiulan family, in front of so many people, she was murdered!Cone Shengling couldn't even imagine how fierce the open and secret struggles among the purebloods had become!

"—uncle, can you explain all this?"

Still in shock, the boy's voice suddenly rang out coldly, pointing the finger at the man who was standing not far from Jiu Lanyou at the time of the incident, and also the heir of Jiu Lan's family—Jiu Lan Li Shi!

"I've been drinking and chatting here, and I don't know anything."

The man who was being questioned carelessly shook the wine glass in his hand, and said in a provocative voice, he didn't pay attention to a ten-year-old child like Jiu Lanshu at all.Even Jiulan Li Shi smiled slightly, and looked at the group of people around him:

"You can ask the people around me, they can all testify for me."

The group of people around Li Shi also laughed and echoed.Even an outsider like Zhui Shengling could tell that those people were obviously in the same group as Jiulan Lishi!However, in the whole scene, no one dared to stand up and speak for Jiulan's mother and son, and they all succumbed to Jiulan and Li Shi's lust! ——This couldn't help making Zhui Shengling angry, and almost wanted to rush forward to take down the murderer for Jiu Lanshu, but when he thought that he was just a person from another time and space, he clenched his fist and held back, standing In place, continue to watch the development of the situation.

Facing the obvious contemptuous attitude of Jiulan and Li Shi, the ten-year-old child was still neither humble nor overbearing, and said in a calm voice:

"Then, uncle, can you come over and let me see your left hand. I heard that there is a blood vein in the ring finger of the left hand that goes straight to the heart, and the blood dripping from the ring finger of the left hand will turn black when a person murders his relatives. Don't let me check it out."

Such a statement made Jiulan Li Shi stunned for a moment, and then blurted out:

"Absurd... Absurd! How can such a heresy be credible!"

"Whether it's heresy or not, let me test it. With so many eyes present, I won't slander you."

The audience was silent, all eyes were on Jiulan Li Shi.Riding a tiger is hard to get off, Jiulan Li Shi has no way to refuse, however, the boy's swearing appearance makes Jiulan Li Shi, who didn't believe it, suddenly get terrified, and walks towards the boy step by step, the little boy he didn't care about at first, at this moment It's as terrifying as Satan!

"and many more!"

Seeing that he was about to walk in front of the boy, the boy suddenly let out another cry!Jiulan Li Shi couldn't help being startled, and stopped in place, only to see the boy's wine-red eyes staring at him firmly, that familiar color now makes Jiulan Li Shi startled.Just listen to the boy slowly say word by word:

"——There is one more thing to say before: If the blood that flows out is really black, according to the crime of regicide, uncle, you should kill yourself on the spot and apologize!——With so many eyes present, they will never let you go of!"

Jiulan Li Shi was shocked!It was as if a thunderbolt sounded in his heart!He couldn't help trembling slightly, and in an instant, his heart skipped a beat—rather than, rather than letting the boy test that his blood is black, it's better, it's better to just keep doing it, and let the boy...!

As soon as this thought passed through the man's mind, his figure had already turned into a black lightning bolt—amidst the sudden exclamations from all around, Jiulan Li Shi rushed straight at the boy, and directly took the boy's life!Such a close-range and thunderous attack, there was no way for anyone standing by to stop it, except... except for the woman standing next to the boy!

Jiulan Shuli rushed forward and protected Jiulanshu with her body!With such a sudden change, Jiulan Shuli is bound to die in Huangquan, Jiulanshu couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and took a few steps back: "My lord...!"

However, at this instant, a silver-white figure flashed up, stood in front of Jiulan Shuli, and stretched out his hand—strangled Jiulan Li Shi's neck!No one could clearly see how this person moved from the edge of the hall to between Li Shi and Shuli in an instant, the speed of lightning was simply beyond the imagination of any vampire present!The power that blocked Jiulan Lishi's thunder strike with just one hand also shocked everyone!

The boy also raised his head in shock, and what fell into his wine-red eyes was not only his mother's body that was firmly protecting him, but also the person who was even before his mother—it was the person who was not in the piano room. The silver-haired boy who met by chance!The back view of holding Jiulan Li Shi with one hand and standing firmly in front of their mother and son was deeply imprinted in his heart!

Witnessing such a miracle with my own eyes, the scene instantly fell into a terrifying dead silence!After a while, it was Jiulan Shuli's cry that broke the frozen air:

"Brother—why are you doing this!"

Facing the death of her husband, Jiulan Shuli was on the verge of collapse, and the murderer actually attacked her favorite child again. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and cried bitterly:

"Yu and I love you from the bottom of our hearts! For a throne, we kill each other like this! Yu and I have never intended to compete for the throne! We just inherited it according to the arrangement of our parents. If you really desire this The throne, then I will give it to you! —— Shu and I will never participate in the competition for the throne from now on! Please give us mother and son peace!"

"Mother, let's go back..."

The boy gently lifted the weeping woman.That little child looked around at everyone present. Although he was not a king, he had the prestige of a king.The boy said quietly:

"Sorry everyone, this is the end of tonight's party, which spoils everyone's fun. But, just like Honored Matre said-we withdraw from the competition for the throne from now on! Forever, withdraw!"

At the last moment when he turned around after speaking, the boy's eyes seemed to be inadvertent - he glanced at Cone Shengling.Afterwards, he gave a slight nod to the people present, supported Jiulan Shuli, walked up the stairs slowly, and disappeared at the corner of the stairs.

##

Cone Shengling stood blankly in the corridor.

The boy came out from the next room after closing the door, and whispered tiredly to Zhuo Shengling:

"Mother has calmed down, rest now..."

Cone Shengling said in a daze:

"But, the throne..."

The boy shook his head and said softly:

"It's okay, what my mother and I want more is a peaceful life..."

Cone Shengling did not speak.But the boy suddenly turned around, stood on tiptoe, and wrapped his hands around Zhui Shengling's neck.The boy buried his head in Cone Shengling's arms, and murmured in a small voice:

"—thank you, tonight. Really... thank you..."

It was as if a cluster of flames were swaying and burning in his chest, which made Zhui Sheng Ling feel an unparalleled throbbing in his heart.Zhui Shengling bent down slightly, hugged the boy in his arms, and also said softly:

"Don't thank me, protecting you...is my life..."

The boy's tears silently wet Cone Shengling's clothes.The boy put his head on Cone Shengling's heart, listened to the beating sound, and murmured:

"Now, I seem to really believe it..."

"Believe in what?"

"Believe me, you are the love of my life."

Cone Shengling was taken aback.Only the boy continued to murmur:

"It was a piece that a big black-haired brother taught me to play. The big brother was very haggard, but... the big brother said, this is a very, very important piece...I must remember it...because, I The second person I meet who can play this piece...will be destined to be the love of my life..."

Cone Shengling's eyes were wide open.He silently listened to the boy's words, and tears rolled down from his eyes unknowingly—it turns out, Shu... everything you have done for this love, Shu...

Cone Shengling whispered in the boy's ear:

"Whether you believe it or not, I am indeed not from this time and space. I came here from the 'future' to meet you."

The boy repeated in a low voice:

"The future..."

"Yes, now, I'm going back. But, I won't disappear, I will wait for you in the future."

The boy raised his head, those two big wine-red eyes fixedly stared at Zhui Shengling, as if he wanted to search for his future shadow in the depths of Zhui Shengling's pupils.The boy said:

"——Then, I will grow up soon, and run to meet you in the future!"

Cone Shengling couldn't help laughing:

"Yes! We will definitely meet again! See you next time, and I will greet you with a smile! Pull hook—promise!"

The boy also burst into a smile, stretched out his little finger, and hooked it towards the little finger of Ai Shengling.

"Pull the hook!"

Gently hook your little finger up, Cone Shengling said silently in his heart - I want...to protect your smile forever...

The moment the fingers touched, a burst of darkness overwhelmed the sky, completely engulfing Zhuo Shengling...

…………

…………

The boy woke up from his sleep lying on the piano.The wind blowing in from the open window at the side chilled him.

He seems to have spanned a long, long time.When he woke up there was silence, the memory of the boy, the eyes, everything, all, gone.

Cone Shengling blinked slowly, staring blankly at the moonlight by the window.The dreamlike tulle lightly enveloped everything, and Cone Shengling couldn't help but slowly come to his senses—is it a dream again...?

The sudden touch from the neck made Cone Shengling's body freeze like lightning!At some point, the person standing behind him put his arms around his waist, rested his chin lightly on his shoulder, and when he opened his mouth softly, the familiar breath brushed his hair, itching—— Before Zero's brain could react, the tears had already flowed down!

The man's voice seemed to be sighing, as if it was an echo from another time and space, but it really rang in his ears.man said:

"Zero, I'm back..."

Zhui Shengling turned around without saying a word, hugged the man, and burst into tears!

Jiu Lanshu gently stroked Zhui Shengling's hair, and sighed:

"Don't cry, we agreed to greet each other with smiles, we finally met each other, why are you crying..."

But the boy just stuck his head in the man's arms for a long time, crying and laughing, but couldn't say a word.

At this time, the door of the room opened, and Jiulan Shuli stood at the door of the room, smiling softly and saying to the two:

"There's a dance downstairs! ——Let's join the dance with Zero and Shu!"

Jiu Lanshu wiped away Zhui Shengling's tears, held the boy's hand, and said with a smile:

"From now on, it's over - let's go dancing!"

Tonight, the Jiulan family's ancestral house is brightly lit and starry.Amidst the brilliant music, couples are embracing each other and dancing lightly, laughter is everywhere, joy and peace are everywhere.

He smiled at him, took each other's hands, and slid onto the dance floor.When the first beat sounded, Zhuo Shengling whispered in Jiu Lanshu's ear:

"You have always protected me. This time, let me protect your smile!"

Jiu Lanshu lowered his head and kissed the boy.The sound of music drowned out his laughter, and he could only hear that gentle voice, swaying in the intoxicating air tonight, it was the sweetest and most sinking sound of nature.

"—Then, Zero, I am really the happiest person in the world!"

Tonight, with the brightest lights.

Let's dance together, I, the love of my life.
