Walking away

236 Farewell

The whole city of Yangzhou? Yao Ling frowned. She asked, "Well, when will your second master Xiao come to the restaurant?"

"It's hard to say today. The second master had a few more drinks with the young master last night. I'm afraid he will come later this morning. Sister, don't wait for a moment. The second brother said that he would retreat by himself.

Yao Ling sat alone and couldn't help but think of the situation when he first went to the Yangchun Hall. At that time, it was the first time for me to venture into the world alone. In order to play cool, I wore a white coat and a thick white veil. As soon as I entered the door of Yangchun Hall, I saw a group of young people gambling around the table desperately, but no one came to entertain her. She was led to the second floor by wolfberries and casually ordered a cup of lotus tea. Unexpectedly, she was easily recognized by the wolfberry...

Now that I think about it, those things are as clear as what happened yesterday. How similar today's scene is to that day. Yao Ling sat alone. I don't know if if she will sit for a while, a careless little second will come over and throw her back from fantasy to reality with a towel?

After all, it's just imagination. Yao Ling only sat for a while, as if he didn't want the scene to happen again. He got up and went downstairs and walked to the backyard.

The backyard was indeed rebuilt three years ago, brick by brick, like the old face, the new seedlings and tender grass, but it can't witness the bits and pieces of the past. Yao Ling walked to Xiao Yangchun's room and stood outside. Three years ago, it was here that Fengchuan said to her, "Far away, let's get married." He said not "Marry me" but "Let's get married."

It is true. That's what they have agreed for a long time...

There are some promises. If you want to achieve them, you must hurt others. It's better to forget them.

Yao Ling has been relieved for a long time. I've seen it for a long time. Who said that lovers in the world can finally get married? It's not easy for two people to meet and fall in love in the vast sea of people. What's more, staying together until old is no longer a thing that can be achieved by mutual love.

Forget it... I don't think about this. Yao Ling looked up at the blue and high sky in autumn. Anyway, he was about to leave. If he was far away from this world, he would not have thought of this world.

Since you know that you won't think about it again, why do you have to say goodbye... Farewell, seriously make a summary of the past, do you want to end this relationship, or quietly hope not to be forgotten by him?

It's better to go. The distant spirit wants to turn around.

"Oh, it's really here. Why are you in a daze?"

Yao Ling turned around and saw him. For a moment, Yao Ling doubted whether he was wrong. Is this Xiao Fengchuan? The brocade-patterned deep clothes, the hair is tied on the top of the head, and then the green jade hairpin is used. It's really like a luxurious and decent young man. In the past, he was wearing a Jianghu cloth, a chef's hat, and the appearance of him swaggering through the market with a food box flashed through his mind... Xiao Fengchuan was no longer what he looked like when he first met. From the first chef to the chivalrous man to the pub owner, should he say that he has made progress or returned to the original point?

Yaoling can't figure it out. All she knew was that she hadn't seen Xiao Fengchuan so seriously for a long time. It's not that I don't want to, but... I dare not.

"Look at you in high spirits. It doesn't look like you've come back from a hangover." A distant smile.

"I'm used to it." Fengchuan smiled bitterly and said, "In the past, I despised the old man like this... As a result, I didn't live the same life as him in the end."

"Oh? Isn't life what you want now?"

"Not exactly, is it?"

At this point, both of them were silent, staring at each other, and their eyes glanced far away from time to time.

For a long time. Fengchuan asked first, "Come to me, what's the matter?"

Yao Ling took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Fengchuan: "These are letters sent by Brother Xia and Sister Qingyu, the selfish ghost, Mr. Nan Ge and Brother Qingdu in the past three years. It's not what you said. They either go back to Yangzhou to see you. Don't do such a useless thing as sending letters. Well, as a result, all the letters were sent to me.

Fengchuan's eyes darken. He was a little hesitant to pick up the envelope. As soon as he squeezed it tightly, Yaoling withdrew his hand. There was finally no smile on his face and he asked, "You... are you leaving? Where to go?"

Sure enough, he was guessed by Fengchuan so soon. Yaoling took a few steps away and turned his back to Fengchuan and said, "Go to Kunlun Mountain. Qingxiu."

"When will you leave?"

"After five days at the latest."

"So fast."

Yao Ling turned his back to Fengchuan, as if he was waiting for him to say something, and as if he was preparing an appropriate look for him. She turned around and smiled and said, "Aren't you going to wish me a good job as soon as possible? Or, at least say 'Have a good trip'.

Feng Chuan laughed and said, "To be honest, I'm a little worried about you. You have to cultivate this qualification until the year of the monkey to become an immortal. I can't wait for that day."

Yao Ling sneered. Somehow, there are some tingling things in my eyes. She hurriedly turned around again and said in a loud voice, "You'd better worry about yourself and drink less wine."

"Hmm. I know."

"Good. Well... I'm leaving."

Yao Ling fled, walked out of the backyard door quickly and ran. Just after running out of the gate of Yangchun Hall, his eyes were illuminated by the hot sun that had just begun to shine, and two lines of crystal things suddenly flowed down.

She ran away. Although he knows, he will definitely not catch up.

Let's say goodbye. Let's say... it's the last time we meet.

After three years of torture, she finally saw the results today. In the past three years, she has not responded to Fengchuan's unreliable persistence day by day. Today, Fengchuan finally stopped retaining her, protecting her, and saying those sweet words that would melt her heart... He finally decided to forget her.

She succeeded.

However, she also failed. On the last day of separation, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.

Tears flooded the distant spirit like a flood. Yao Ling, Yao Ling, is this the result you want to see? In the past three years, she has driven Fengchuan crazy and almost driven herself crazy. During the days when Yangzhou City was rebuilt, she ran around, used magic to heal the victims, and gave porridge everywhere. Fengchuan followed her every inch, helped her solve all the troubles, and tried her best to help her prepare delicious meals. When she was tired and fell asleep with her knees against the wall, Fengchuan always put down the work at hand and sat quietly with her. Beside her, gently move her head to her shoulder and cover her with a cloak...

She knows all these. But during this period, she didn't look at Fengchuan at a glance, and even when she had to speak, she would not look at her attentively. Because she knows that she will collapse at a glance.

At that time, what Fengchuan said the most was "Yan Ling, from now on, you are the only one in my world. I don't want anyone but you."

After the reconstruction of Rain Lane, Yaoling closed the door all day long, and Fengchuan waited at the gate of Rain Lane day and night. Yao Yue couldn't see it, so she invited him to live in the guest room in Rain Lane. Yaoyue has persuaded Yaoling countless times. You can go to see him and have a look. The day before yesterday, Brother Yuanqian was resting next door and heard him crying quietly in the room all night... Go and see him.

Yao Ling has been insisting. Fengchuan lived in Yuxiang for three months, until the Yangchun Hall reopened. Goji was so busy that he had to go back to preside over the overall situation... For three months in a row, I'm afraid he only had enough sleep in ten nights. In addition, after opening the store, he was busy for days, so he finally didn't come to Yaoling. Only snacks are still delivered day by day. Yao Ling knew that he was afraid of illness... But she still didn't go to see him.

After a while, Yao Ling received a letter from Yangchun Hall. She didn't ask, but the person who came said that Second Master Xiao had been really ill in the past two months, which scared everyone. He had just seen him in the past few days. He got out of bed and ate as usual. When the person left, Yao Ling opened the envelope, but there was only one sentence in it: Yaoyao, you are too cruel.

Yes. I'm too cruel. I broke the oath of that day and abandoned you. Therefore, I don't really love you at all. Forget me.

Yao Ling just thought about these words in his heart, so he burned Fengchuan's letter on the candlelight and did not write a reply. Since then, in addition to the delivery of snacks as scheduled, Fengchuan will also come to Yuxiang from time to time. He knew that he could not see Yaoling, so he chatted with Sister Yaoyue. Over time, he actually got acquainted with the brothers and sisters of Yuxiang Yao and Yuan.

It's just that the distant spirit seems to be determined. No matter who persuades you, you won't look back.

Yao Yue has trained Yao Ling for this. He treats you like this. What else do you want to do? You love him in your heart, why do you have to torture two people like this?

Short-term pain is better than long-term pain. This is Yao Ling's answer. She believes that as long as she is so cold, Fengchuan will definitely give up and go to Wu Lingchun within a year.

But I didn't expect that he had been sticking to it for three years, delivering snacks every day, and being rejected by Yaoling every day. When he came to Yu Lane ten times, he didn't see Yaoling nine times, but through his familiar brothers, he knew the recent situation of Yaoling. What do you like to eat in recent days, what books do you like to read, what materials you like, practice for a few hours a day, and do something in your spare time...

It can't go on like this. Let's go. If you go far away from each other, it will be easier to forget. In the final analysis, Xiao Fengchuan is still a filial person. He will not leave the Yangchun Hall left to him by his father for the sake of remote spirit. That's my father's only relic.

And today's farewell, Xiao Fengchuan's performance is enough to reassure Yaoling. This is the effect she wants: don't stay, don't chase, don't ask, don't complain. I believe that in the future, he will live a life of peace and joy. Because soon after Yao Ling left, Wu Lingchun will go back.

This is the end she wants. It's just that there should be no tears in this ending.

Yao Ling ran to the door of Rain Lane in one breath, in a trance, and felt as if he had had a dream. Beautiful dream. Nightmare. There are endless disturbances. She held her knees and gasped. As soon as she looked up, she saw the extremely familiar carved cake box. The bright red paint reflected the bright sunlight, as if it had just been placed in front of her door.
