Chapter 678 Deception
Hearing this, Xie Changting was silent for a long time, then slowly squatted down, a helpless sigh escaped from his lips, "Little Xueer, what do you mean by what you said? Changting didn't quite understand it."

"Brother Changting, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to pretend to be stupid." Yixue took two steps forward, and slowly caressed Xie Changting's elegant face with her small hand. There was a startling sharp light in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a fox-like appearance. With a sly smile, "Whether what Xue'er said is sincere or joking, persistent or childish, Xue'er understands, and you must also know it in your heart-Brother Changting, it is because you know it that you are at a loss, right? "

Xie Changting's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't speak, and lowered his eyes, not knowing why there was a complicated feeling in his heart.

Playing stupid, or deceiving himself and others, is not Xie Changting's usual style, but at this time, facing such a completely unimaginable and uncontrollable emotional confession, deceiving himself and others is the only reaction he can make.

It's just an escape in my heart, but I can't resort to words in the end.Therefore, he can only remain silent.

And Cang Yixue, who dominated everything and gave everyone a huge shock at the age of three, obviously didn't care whether he answered at this moment, and said indifferently: "Brother Changting, don't you believe that you are my destiny?" Husband?"

The voice is light and sweet like a lark, and the tone is calm and flat, but I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, it gradually takes on a little aggressive flavor unconsciously.

Destined husband?
In the past, how could the calm but wise Xie Changting believe in the so-called "destiny"?
"...Little Xue'er, how old are you?" Xie Changting frowned, unable to remain silent, and tried to persuade her in a calm tone, "Even if Brother Changting takes your words seriously, it is impossible for you to be silent now." That’s all. After you are 15 years old, I will already be an old man over half a century old. At that time, when you think about what you said today, you will definitely know that what you said is a child’s joke and cannot be taken as true——so, Chang Ting won't take it to heart."

"This is impossible." Yixue smiled faintly, implying a wordless domineering, "Brother Changting, what Xue'er said today, you must always take it to heart, and never forget it for a moment."

When Xie Changting heard the words, he fell into silence for an instant.

Facing the child's calm and pressing every step of the way, he seems to be at a loss for words today.

Cang Yixue raised her head slightly, staring quietly at the face in front of her that has been dreaming countless times. After looking at it for a long time, she retracted her astringent eyes and sat on the ground, not caring that some wet ground would stain the plain skirt. He patted the space next to him where only one person could sit, "Brother Changting, sit down, let me tell you a story, okay?"

Xie Changting frowned slightly because of her actions, and wanted to say something wrong. He had a hunch that this story would definitely change many things—including his heart, which had always been calm and calm, and he would never return to the calmness before. Take it easy.

However, the words of refusal were never spoken.

Silently, he sat down on the spot at her request, and then naturally picked up her petite body with one hand, put it on his lap, patted her dress lightly, and wrapped her in his arms .

Cang Yixue smiled silently, her brows and eyes crooked, and the astringency in her eyes disappeared.

"Brother Changting, do you believe in reincarnation?"

Xie Changting was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "If it was in the past, Changting would only think that the talk of reincarnation is just nonsense."

A silent smile appeared on Cang Yixue's lips, "What about now? Do you believe it?"

"...I don't know." Changting sighed, and his voice returned to its usual calmness.

"So, Brother Changting, do you believe in the existence of gods in the sky?"

This question was obviously completely beyond Xie Changting's expectations, he couldn't help but glance at the person in his arms, this time he was silent for a little longer, and then he didn't answer the question, "Xueer thinks there is a god in the sky? "

It is not surprising that children believe in fairy tales, but when it happened to Cang Yixue, it would always make people unconsciously have some strange thoughts.

Cang Yixue's eyes locked on the mottled bamboos in front of her eyes, the expression in her eyes was deep and hard to discern, but she just smiled lightly: "Hearing brother Changting's tone like this, probably he doesn't believe that there are gods in the sky."

Xie Changting didn't speak, Cang Yixue continued to ask: "Then, Xue'er asked Brother Changting a simple question, can Brother Changting answer me seriously after careful consideration?"

Xie Changting nodded slowly, "Ask."

"Brother Changting thinks, is it more important to live forever and be admired forever, or the love of mandarin ducks living in the same hole after death is more enviable?"

Even though he had already prepared himself, Changting was still a little speechless after hearing this question.

This question is not tricky, and the answer varies from person to person. Since ancient times, there have been many kings and dignitaries who have devoted themselves to the pursuit of immortality. There are also many poignant and touching love stories that are passed down to this day.

However, for Xie Changting, these two are not things that he would bother to think about.

Yixue really had foresight, before asking a question, she told him to think carefully before answering.If it weren't for the prefix of this sentence, probably Changting would only answer "This question has never been deliberately thought about by Changting".

But even after careful consideration, Xie Changting still couldn't give an answer from the bottom of his heart.

After a long silence, Yixue said calmly, "Brother Changting is stumped?"

Xie Changting nodded, "The theory of immortality only exists in people's imagination. Compared with having the same life span as the sky, love is obviously more practical. However, the answers to many questions are not absolute. Different personalities people have different answers and choices."

"What if the technique of longevity really exists?" Yixue persisted, raising her eyes to look directly at Xie Changting, "Brother Changting, what choice would you make? To be admired by the world, to enjoy the beauty of thousands of years without restraint in the Nine Heavens Wonderland Longevity, or is it a short few decades spent in the mortal world with a beloved man of flesh and blood, and then ashes return to ashes, dust returns to dust, and all the prosperity is just a handful of fine sand?"

"Little Xueer." Xie Changting frowned deeply, and said in a very puzzled manner, "Where did you get these completely unrealistic questions that only exist in distant legends?"

In the Zangshu Pavilion in the palace, there are records about ancient legends, but he doesn't remember that this child has been to Zangshu Pavilion.

"Brother Changting, I never read those boring books." Yixue's lips overflowed with a shallow smile, "Because the ones recorded in the books are far less exciting than what Xue'er experienced personally."
