Chapter 15

The lake was as flat as a mirror, and the world was silent.

Willow catkins and snow fluttered down and fell on the water that reflected the sky. They did not cause any ripples and merged with the mirror.

Xu Buling led the Wind-chasing Horse and moved forward with difficulty on the knee-deep snow. When he reached the end of the snowfield, his field of vision suddenly opened up. The boundless Gourd Sea appeared in front of him, like a mirror in the desolate snowfield.

The Gourd Sea was the Dai Sea of Liang in the future. It was located in the hinterland of the Mobei Desert, and its beautiful scenery spread far and wide from the Central Plains. Only a few people from the Central Plains could visit this place.

Now standing on the shore of the Gourd Sea, although he could not see the spring tide scenery of the Dai Sea and the fog of Mount Zhong, the empty and lonely sky and water were the same color, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Hey —"

Cui Xiaowan walked out of the carriage and stood outside the carriage. She used her hand as a trumpet and called out clearly.

Her voice was very loud and spread far between heaven and earth. It looked like a child climbing the mountain for the first time, childish and a little cute.

The little sparrow was startled and quickly moved away from the silly woman. It landed on the head of the Wind-chasing Horse and was also enjoying the scenery that it had never seen before.

Xu Buling turned around and said, "There used to be swans here, but unfortunately we can't see them in winter."

Cui Xiaowan put one hand on her waist and looked at the beautiful scenery. She turned her eyes to Xu Buling who was standing by the water and thought for a while.

"It's the same."

This sentence of "it's the same" was not thought-provoking.

Cui Xiaowan had traveled thousands of miles from the snow-capped peach blossom sea to the warm spring of Western Liang, from Western Liang to the land of Chu, and from Chu to the Mobei Desert.

What she had been searching for was never a flower or a blade of grass, but a person.

With this person in front of him, even if he was in a barren wilderness, he would still be a peerless beauty.

If this person wasn't here, what did it have to do with her when flowers bloomed for thousands of miles?

Cui Xiaowan looked at Xu Buling, opened her arms in the carriage and smiled.

Xu Buling was a little helpless. He walked forward and raised his hand to help Cui Xiaowan get off the carriage.

It was just that Cui Xiaowan did not want to use the normal way to get off the car. She leaned forward and directly jumped down.

"Ha —"

Xu Buring was slightly taken aback. He hurriedly gave Cui Xiaowan a bear hug and caught her.

"What are you doing?"

Cui Xiaowan landed on the ground. Although she was still weak, her face was full of smiles.

"I'm happy. Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles. I've done both. Thank you for accompanying me so far."

"…" Xu Buling was already used to Cui Cui Xiaowan's thoughts.

"as as as" as "Cui Cui". was as. and Buling. We've only just started. How can there be an end to the journey? "

"…" Cui "Cui Cui as Cui Cui Mountain. and suddenly, there as as as in as as as he could. as as as as she. As as as she as she. and. and, and she. Cui Li. Cat, she looked at as as she looked. as. and.

".

？？

Xu Buling's pure and flawless expression froze slightly. He had come so far, so there was no need for him to express his feelings in words. However, why did these words, which were supposed to be filled with romantic sweetness, sound so strange …

"Auntie is so exciting. Didn't you always think so?"

"Auntie is so exciting. Didn't you always think so?"

"Hmph."

Cui Xiaowan stared into Xu Buling's eyes. She didn't believe him at all. After staring at him for a moment, she stood on her tiptoes, trying to get closer to Xu Buling.

However, Cui Xiaowan was as graceful as a willow. She stood on her tiptoes, but there was still some distance between them. Seeing that Xu Buling didn't react at all, she pursed her lips.

It was just that Cui Xiaowan, who was like a thin willow tree, was more graceful. When she stood on her tiptoes, there was still some distance between them. Seeing that Xu Buring had no reaction, she pursed her lips.

"I can't reach it."

"…"

Xu Buling took a deep breath. Her beautiful face was right in front of him, but his mind was a little empty. He hesitated for a moment before leaning forward.

Cui Xiaowan stood on her tiptoes again, mimicking her mother. She held Xu Buling's face and kissed him.

Their lips met, and the originally silent world fell into complete silence.

Snowflakes fell silently. The lake water that was as flat as a mirror reflected the image of a man and a woman embracing each other. It was so clear that it was hard to tell which world was real and which was just a reflection.

But it didn't matter. After all, it was the same whether it was real or a reflection.

The black wind-chasing horse that had been pulling the carriage for thousands of miles snorted. It missed the big white horse.

The sparrow on the head of the wind-chasing horse turned its chubby head in dissatisfaction. Who should it think of?

"Chirp chirp chirp …"

After waiting for a long time, the sparrow couldn't hold it in any longer. It flapped its wings and flew between the two of them. It shrank in the gap between their chins, as if it was looking for a sense of participation.

Xu Buling hugged Cui Xiaowan's waist. There was only calmness in his eyes, without any desire. It was not that he was pretending to be a gentleman at this time. It was simply because, from the day he saw Cui Xiaowan, it was difficult for him to think in that direction. Cui Xiaowan was like a mirror that could expose everything in a person's heart, making them feel ashamed.

But Cui Xiaowan was obviously not a mirror. She was just a woman. She would think in that direction.

Cui Xiaowan hugged and nibbled for a moment. Her eyes were still clear. She let go of her lips and looked at the silly big man in front of her.

"Why don't you do it?"

Cui Xiaowan pulled Xu Buling's hand.

Xu Buling was a little nervous because Cui Xiaowan could see through his mind. He saw Cui Xiaowan as a flawless jade and didn't know where to start.

Cui Xiaowan shuddered and pushed Xu Buring away again. She held the little sparrow that had been neglected and walked towards the carriage.

"Well, I'm fine. You can go and do your business."

Xu Buling knew that the knot in Cui Xiaowan's heart had long been resolved, but the weakness of the body could not be cured by psychological change. He licked the red rouge on his lips, walked forward, picked Cui Xiaowan up, and put her on the carriage.

Cui Xiaowan had never resisted, and it was the same at this time. She just took the small red wooden plate from her waist and was a little worried.

"When your mind was not pure, I would carve a stroke. But now, no matter how pure your mind is, it's not right. How should I carve it?"

Xu Buling was very experienced in this. He looked at the two characters on the wooden plate and said with a smile,

"I'll leave it for now. I'll continue carving after I've completed the two characters."

Cui Xiaowan blinked her eyes. She did not ask how to make it up, nor did she show any shyness or anger. She just snorted, put away the small red wooden plate, and got into the carriage.

Xu Buling jumped on the carriage and took a last look at the beautiful Gourd Sea. Then, he gently whipped the horse and headed for Liang City.

It was just that Wind-Chasing Wolf pulled the carriage for thousands of miles. They didn't even have a sip of water. They patted their heads and were ready to leave again. They were a little dissatisfied.

"You don't want to order the horse around?"

It might be the first time that Wind-Chasing Wolf didn't listen to Xu Buling's orders. It ran to the water and drank two mouthfuls of the cool lake water. Then, it pulled the carriage and left with satisfaction.

Ripples spread across the surface of the boundless lake, reaching the place where the sky and water met.

When the ripples subsided, the world returned to silence and vastness.

However, the beautiful scenery of the lake always left behind something special in people's minds …
