Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1148: Retention

"Well. Just now... I haven't finished saying what I wanted to say just now, which is about a person locking his heart. Many years ago, everyone just said it casually, but many years later today, I thought a lot about what I said that day. In fact, in a way, you really have always locked your heart... locked it. When I said those words that day, the sun was setting. I don't know what the sky will look like when the sun is setting today, many years later, and whether it will be full of sunset glow. I... I suddenly want to know... if... if you open your heart to me, you can keep the setting sun today, and the sky won't be dark. Will you open it to me?" Wu Xunsheng said courageously.

Hearing Wu Xunsheng bring the topic back, Tie Hongyan was really shocked. She wanted to interrupt him midway, but she felt that it would be easy to expose something, so she just listened to him finish. She was still sad, but smiled and said, "Always lock your heart? That's what you said, it doesn't matter what you think, I can't control it. Putting aside the question of whether to lock your heart or not, haha, how can I possibly stop the setting sun today?"

Wu Xunsheng said: "Do you remember when we were little, you and I were in the wild...in the wild, watching the setting sun and talking, and you said you hated it the most when it was dark."

Listening to him talking about his childhood, she seemed to smell the fragrance of wild flowers that filled the field that day. Although many years had passed since that day and they had grown up, she still clearly remembered what they had said that day.

"Yes, you told me that day that your father once said, 'The dark is not scary, what is scary is being afraid of the dark.' Before you said this, you asked me if I was afraid of the dark, and I told you I was not afraid." Tie Hongyan said.

"At that time you said that you were not afraid of the dark, but since... since you hate the dark, then... I still want to ask... if you could stop it from getting dark, would you stop it?" Wu Xunsheng said.

"Is it possible?" Tie Hongyan said with a smile. She didn't want to answer his question directly, after all, this question had been linked to opening the heart lock before.

"I said if, it's just a hypothesis. Besides, haven't you always...always believed in miracles?" Wu Xunsheng said.

Tie Hongyan said: "You make an assumption, and I will make an assumption too. If I can really stop the darkness, there might not be only one way to stop it. Maybe I will use a method that I think is fun."

Although she did not directly respond to the question about opening the heart lock, Wu Xunsheng felt that asking such a hypothetical question would not make her angry or anything. His question about the dark was originally a roundabout way to ask, and when he talked about the sunset, he was thinking that his own life might be like the sunset.

He mustered up his courage again and said, "Some problems do have many solutions, but some others have only one solution. Let's not talk about stopping the darkness. I want to know, if...if you have always locked your heart, and if you...if you open your heart to me, it can save someone's life, then will you open it?"

Tie Hongyan, whose heart seemed to be struck by something, said, "You said 'what if' I have always kept my heart locked up. Although it is a hypothesis, this hypothesis is very strange. Some things should be considered according to the specific situation. When you say to save a person's life, whose life are you saving?"
