At this moment, Ji Yunshu looked at the man in front of her, who had shed his dragon robe and was wearing plain clothes. His handsome face, which had been polished by time, no longer had the sincerity and cleanness of the past.
She wished that he was still the naive, carefree, and silly boy from before.
What fight for power?
What deceit?
What life and death?
It was all just a dream from an afternoon nap.
But everything in front of her clearly told her that it was not a dream!
Because all the pain was real!
Her hands were tightly intertwined inside her robe, and she stood there calmly. She looked at Wei Yi calmly and said, "If we meet again in the future, I hope that by that time, we will have let go of the knot in our hearts."
"Knot in my heart?" Wei Yi frowned and laughed bitterly. His eyes were filled with helplessness. "Shu 'er, you are the knot in my heart for the rest of my life! How can I let go of it? "
"Why are you so stubborn?"
"Besides stubbornness, what else can I do?"
Ji Yunshu felt a pain in her chest, and tears flowed from her eyes. "Do you know that I've held on until now because of my stubbornness towards you? You are my life, my reason for waiting! If it wasn't for you, I think I would already be dead. "Wei Yi choked with sobs, his voice trembling. Step by step, he approached Ji Yunshu, his face filled with pain and sorrow. "Do you know how many days and nights I've endured? As long as I closed my eyes, my mind would be filled with you. I dreamed that you were by my side, holding my hand and smiling at me. I dreamed that you personally painted the plum blossom lantern for me. I dreamed that I was pillowed on your lap, and you patted my head, telling me not to be afraid. Every night of the past flashed through my mind. Every time I woke up, I was faced with the cold night and the towering walls. You were not by my side. That feeling of loss was a hundred times worse than having a knife cut into my heart.
A thousand times. "
"Don't say anymore."
"I even wished that I would die in my dreams. At least … you would still be by my side."
Ji Yunshu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Wei Yi grabbed her arms and stared at her evasive gaze. He asked agitatedly, "Shu 'er, my dear Shu' er, what should I do? What should I do to keep you by my side? "
His face was red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
At this moment, he let go of his last shred of dignity.
Ji Yunshu could no longer maintain her composure. She shook her head. "Don't say anymore."
However —
In the next moment, Wei Yi pulled her into his embrace.
Her body seemed to have stiffened.
With a pleading tone, he whispered into her ear, "Let me hug you one last time. I'll be done in a moment."
"…" She let him hug her.
She couldn't push him away even an inch!
Wei Yi closed his eyes tightly and buried his face in her hair, inhaling the faint fragrance on her body.
But he was trembling, even more violently than the woman in his arms.
After some time —
Only then did he gradually calm down. With an incomparably deep and hoarse voice, he said, "Shu 'er, please remember this. No matter how long it takes, I will be waiting for you here. This vow will never change."
Shu 'er, please remember, no matter how long it takes, I will be waiting for you here. This vow will never change.
Extremely serious!
Ji Yunshu clenched her teeth, but she couldn't stop her tears from falling.
Tears streaked down her clean cheeks and fell on Wei Yi's shoulder.
They seeped into his clothes, as cold as ice.
After a long time, Ji Yunshu slowly raised her trembling hand and touched Wei Yi's head.
She gently caressed him.
Just like in the past!
She looked ahead and asked in an extremely calm voice, "Wei Yi, can you promise me one last thing?"
Wei Yi didn't reply.
"Please … live well."
'Please … live well.'
Wei Yi's eyebrows furrowed tightly. The pain made it hard for him to breathe.
Tears flowed down his cheeks.
Ji Yunshu pushed him away forcefully.
The two of them pulled apart.
The moment Wei Yi was pushed back, she turned around and left.
She didn't look at him anymore.
Wei Yi tried to pull her back, but her sleeve slipped through his fingers and slipped away.
Only the cold air lingered around his empty palm.
At this moment, he didn't have the courage to take another step forward. His tearful eyes were filled with despair. He could only watch as the petite figure gradually left.
But he was powerless!
He knelt down and slammed his knees on the ground. His eyes were blurred with tears as he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shu 'er."
His voice was desolate and miserable.
His voice reverberated in the temple hall and the cold courtyard.
Ji Yunshu didn't look back.
She walked towards the gate step by step, as if she was stepping on the tip of a knife.
A sudden gust of wind blew outside, blowing the towering tree in the courtyard. Leaves fell one after another, drifting towards Ji Yunshu's body, the ground, the roof tiles, and the distant palace … She moved further and further away.
Along with the falling leaves, a familiar scene appeared in the air.
"Wei Yi, what do you want to do in the future?"
"I want to be with Shu 'er."
"Why?"
"Because I like Shu 'er! In the future, no matter where you go, I will follow you. I will follow you for the rest of my life. "
"Then … what if I'm not here?"
"Then I will look for you. I will go to the ends of the earth to find you, until I find you."
It was like yesterday.
It was as if she was still the plain, indifferent, and indifferent yamen painter.
It was as if he was still the fearless and naïve child who was ridiculed by others.
It was as if they were still in the beautiful little city of Jinjiang in Great Lin's Beiliang.
It was as if …
Everything was so beautiful!
But the ice-cold red walls and green roof tiles were a constant reminder that they were now in a huge whirlpool. They were destined to bear the pain and consequences of this bloody storm!
Wei Yi watched as Ji Yunshu disappeared from his blurred vision. His voice, "Shu 'er," still echoed in his ears.
It was extremely quiet beside him.
The cold wind blew in from outside, extinguishing several burning candles and attacking his already trembling body.
He slowly took something out from his sleeve.
It was accompanied by a few crisp and clear sounds.
Lying quietly in his palm was a bell-shaped anklet.
He had given it to Ji Yunshu in the past.
He had always kept it by his side, never leaving it.
The paint on the bell had been worn off by him day and night, becoming very smooth.
Wei Yi smiled.
His smile was bright and beautiful.
His eyes were clear and bright.
At this moment, he seemed to be the Wei Yi of Jinjiang Wei Mansion.
