Ning Que and Mo Shanshan sat on the stone chairs in front of the hut facing the lake in the twilight. The Big Black Horse was eating grass not far away. Of course, it would not really swallow the grass into its stomach. It was just eating to kill time.
Ning Que told her what happened in the capital city. Mo Shanshan's slender eyelashes flickered gently. She looked down at the tips of her shoes and remained silent. Even when she heard that her teacher was seriously injured, her expression didn't change. She was only a little surprised when she heard that Ning Que had become the emperor of the Great River Kingdom.
She didn't say nonsense like those women who had been influenced by novels about gifted scholars and beautiful women for a long time. Since he didn't want to marry her, why didn't he want her to marry someone else?
"In Chang 'an, you said that this time she went to the sky and couldn't come back, so you couldn't do anything about it. Now that she has returned to the human world, what do you think?"
Ning Que said, "I found that I thought too simply. In fact, no matter if she went to the sky or the human world, she would always be there. There was nothing I could do."
Mo Shanshan said, "She is not her anymore. She is Haotian. Can you still love her like this?"
Ning Que thought about it and said, "I have thought about this. She is Haotian, but she has all the memories of Sangsang and me. How can I say that she isn't Sangsang?"
He was silent for a while and continued, "I know that no one will like her, but I don't care. In fact, I have never cared about this since a long time ago."
"This is probably true love."
Mo Shanshan raised her head and quietly looked into his eyes. "What about me?" she asked.
Ning Que was silent.
Mo Shanshan said in a low voice, "You are a heartless man."
Ning Que said, "From a certain point of view, I am indeed a heartless man."
Mo Shanshan smiled and said, "But it's better than not being a heartless man."
Once faced with a choice, one would have to let one side down. If he didn't want to let Shanshan down, he would have to let Sangsang down. If he didn't want to let both of them down, he would be a playboy.
Most men were playboys. Some could let everyone down, but he couldn't. The most important thing was that neither Sangsang nor Shanshan would accept him.
Ning Que thought for a long time and said while looking at the beautiful Sangsang, "You are so nice."
As soon as he said that, he felt like an idiot.
"I also think I'm a very good girl."
Mo Shanshan looked in the direction of the lake and lamented, "But it's still not enough. In the end, I can't win this war. But it's heaven that wants to defeat me. It's not my fault."
The last rays of the setting sun shone on the tranquil lake between the cliffs. The sky gradually darkened, and the surface of the lake was suffused with golden ripples. The lake water seemed to become deeper and drifted with the wind, like ink in an inkstone.
Sangsang sat by the lake. Although her figure seemed a little lonely, it was still as high as the sky.
Mo Shanshan looked in that direction and was silent for a long time. Then, as if she was afraid of the cold, she put her legs back on the chair and hugged her knees tightly. She asked, "Do you still like me?"
Ning Que thought for a while and answered honestly, "Yes."
She said, "But you still don't like it enough."
The "not enough" referred to herself, and the "not enough" referred to him.
What should Ning Que say?
She hugged her knees and said sadly, "You still like her more."
The skirt on her knees was wet from her tears.
In the eyes of the world, she was a quiet and gentle woman who didn't care about worldly affairs and was obsessed with Fu books. She knew how to live, had no vulgar charm, and was sensible and upright. As she said before, she was the best.
Who would have thought that she would cry for a man?
This was the first time that Ning Que saw her cry. He was very flustered and didn't know what to do or say. In the end, he said, "Can you be happier if you kill me?"
He was not joking at this time. He was telling the truth.
Some things were too heavy for him to repay. What should he do? He subconsciously offered the most important thing in his life with both hands, which was life and death.
"People only have one life. If you give it to me, what about her? Or are you used to giving it to others? Then who are you going to give it to? Why are you so …? "
Mo Shanshan said with tears. Today was the first time that she cried in front of others, and it was also the first time that she wanted to swear. But at the last moment, she still held back.
Ning Que had done many things in his life that could not be exposed to the world. He knew that he was cold-blooded and ruthless. In the eyes of the world, he was undoubtedly a scum, but he never cared about it. Until he saw Mo Shanshan's tears, he realized that it was not so easy to be a scum.
It was quiet in front of the hut. The twilight gradually faded, and the shadow cast by the tree behind the chair gradually spread until it merged with the night. No one spoke for a long time.
"Where will you go next?" She asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
Ning Que said, "I don't know where the end is."
Mo Shanshan looked up at him and asked with concern, "Is it hard?"
Ning Que said, "It's bearable."
Whether it was for the world or for himself, he had to continue this journey. But since they were traveling together, how could he be the only one who felt tired?
Just as he was thinking about this, Mo Shanshan looked at Sangsang's back in the night by the lake and said with mixed emotions, "I guess it's hard for her too."
…
…
Sangsang had been sitting by the lake.
She first looked at the few green lotuses in the lake and calculated that on the morning 28 days later, the green lotuses, which looked so young now, would be as fluffy as a fan and give birth to a very beautiful lotus.
Then she looked at the lake and calculated that in 3,744 years, the underground river at the foot of Mogan Mountain would be connected to the belly of the mountain. At that time, the rippling lake would disappear without a trace.
Cat Girl walked over timidly and offered a cup of tea with both hands. She looked very nervous and wanted to leave, but Sangsang asked her to stay and talk with her.
Sangsang liked little girls because she used to be a little girl. But Cat Girl did not know that talking with Haotian was too stressful for her.
Gossip should be said casually. If the other party was too nervous, it would be difficult to continue. Sangsang frowned slightly and felt a little bored, so she waved her hand to let her go.
Sangsang continued to look at the lake, trying to figure out whether the lake would disappear in advance because of the landslide 600 years later. But she found it a little messy, and suddenly thought of Yanming Lake in Chang 'an.
She looked at the green lotuses in the lake and thought of those lotus flowers in Yanming Lake.
"It doesn't matter. I just have a deep impression of those lotus flowers because I planted them myself." Sangsang said quietly, but she knew it was just an excuse.
Night fell, and she looked up at the stars.
The stars were extremely complicated in the eyes of humans, but in her eyes, they were actually very simple numbers, much simpler than things in the human world. She thought it was boring. Human beings always liked to make things complicated, because only in this way would they find it interesting and meaningful to live.
The stars in the night sky quietly looked at the earth. The position of those stars and the distance between them had not changed for countless years.
She suddenly found that compared with the position in the Divine Kingdom, the stars on the ground always seemed a little monotonous and boring, although they were equally beautiful.
"No, silence is the real beauty," she said quietly.
"Silence is beauty," this was the idea of Haotian Taoism, because the distribution of the stars in the sky was Haotian.
So naturally, it could not be changed.
At this moment, the cloud in the southwest of the night sky was blown away by the wind, and a round moon appeared.
The moonlight shone on the earth and the night itself. The starlight that seemed to be stagnant suddenly became lively, and the whole world became lively.
Sangsang narrowed her eyes, which were like willow leaves, and looked very bright.
But her eyes were a little confused.
Haotian came to the human world, which sounded like a god coming to the world. In fact, when the rules left the objective field of rules and came to the human world, it was like a baby coming to a new world.
Newborn babies relied on their instincts to survive, and only through learning could they grow up.
She also relied on her instincts to survive in the human world, but her instincts were cold rules and logic, and the warm things in this world were too strange to her.
She was very clumsy in learning.
She was very lonely, and without Ning Que, she would be even more lonely.
…
…
Mo Shanshan looked at Sangsang's back by the lake and said lovingly, "She is really pitiful."
Ning Que looked at that place, and after a moment of silence, he said, "She definitely doesn't like to hear that from humans. But you are right, she is really pitiful."
Mo Shanshan said, "You have to take good care of her."
Ning Que thought of the torture in the West-Hill Divine Palace and on the journey, and said with a self-mocking smile, "I am also pitiful."
Mo Shanshan said, "Am I not pitiful?"
Ning Que was about to speak when he suddenly felt something wet on his face.
Mo Shanshan kissed him gently.
He was a little stunned.
She was a little shy, not because she wanted to snatch anything, but to express and satisfy her feelings.
Ning Que was a little nervous and glanced at the lake.
Mo Shanshan looked at the lake and whispered, "Why does it feel like they are having an affair?"
Ning Que smiled bitterly and was speechless.
Mo Shanshan said, "Don't worry."
Ning Que said, "I am not worried about her."
Mo Shanshan couldn't help but laugh when she saw his cowardly appearance.
Ning Que said, "I am worried about you."
Mo Shanshan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. In fact, I have already figured it out."
Ning Que said, "You can figure it out? I can't figure it out no matter how I think about it. "
Mo Shanshan smiled and said, "I met you more than ten years later than she did. Haotian also has a way to reverse time, let alone a mortal like me."
"You should go with her. If she really returns to the Divine Kingdom and never comes back, or if she doesn't want you anymore, you can come to me. Before that, I will live a good life."
"If?"
"I will find a good man."
Hearing this, Ning Que subconsciously wanted to say, "Where can you find a good man like me?" But he suddenly realized that if he really said it, he would be too much of a scumbag.
Mo Shanshan knew what he wanted to say. She pursed her thin red lips and didn't let herself laugh out loud. She said, "There are not many women as good as me, and there are many men who are better than you."
Ning Que was a little embarrassed and hurt his self-esteem.
Mo Shanshan suddenly said, "I like you."
The moonlight fell on her face, which was very beautiful.
Red walls and white snow, if you like her, how can you forget?
"But I also like you like her."
She smiled and said, "I like you like her like this."
Ning Que didn't say anything and just smiled.
I like you too.
He said in his heart.
I like you like me like her like this.
He got up and walked out of the shadow of the trees and came to the lake. He looked at Sangsang's back and said, "Let's go."
Sangsang stood up and looked at him. She wanted to say something, but she said nothing.
The trip continued again.
Someone saw them off by the lake, with a fluttering white dress.
The first year of the Tang Empire, the 3,450 year of Dazhi of West-Hill, the 14th year of Chongsheng of Great River.
Two thousand cavalrymen of West-Hill Divine Palace crossed the river.
A young man and a young woman came to the Great River Kingdom.
The monarch abdicated.
The Great River Kingdom changed its name to Xi Huan.
Xi refers to the sun.
Huan refers to a stream in the Southern Kingdom. Thousands of Acacia trees were planted by the stream.
The new monarch was a woman. On the day of her coronation, the woman didn't wear the national uniform, but still wore a fluttering white dress.

(This story starts from the red walls and white snow long ago. It is about love. The last two sentences of love today are all my views and all my pursuit of love. As for the specifics, I will give everyone a detailed report and explain my understanding in a later chapter, or in the epilogue after I finish writing Jieye. This chapter took a lot of effort to write, and I really hope that you can accept it and like it. Half of my life is gone, so I only have one chapter today. After finishing, I found that I couldn't find any suitable words to name the chapter, so I had to leave it untitled. Tomorrow I will write two chapters.) (To be continued.
