swan legend
……

An Yuxi brought Hua Xiaoyi to a quiet lake.

The surroundings are quiet, the crape myrtle trees in the academy are growing densely, and the crape myrtle petals are flying in the air...

The swans in the lake, in twos and threes, are close together.

"Xiaoyi, have you seen it? The black swan in the lake is said to be a prince who was cursed by a witch."

An Yuxi said with deep eyes.

"Oh? Really? That black swan is so beautiful, but it's so lonely, there's only one."

Hua Xiaoyi stared at the lake, a black swan was docking alone on the water bank.

The sun, falling on the water, shone but could not warm it.

"He is waiting for the princess who can save him to appear. Legend has it that if he fails to wait for his princess before the age of 20, he will die slowly."

An Yuxi's bright lips, like flower petals, suddenly lost their color, and they were just pursed tightly; in the eyes of spring, there was a cloud of smoke and water vapor rising.

"Will he wait then? Surely he will, won't he, Shee?"

Hua Xiaoyi, I don't know why my heart feels inexplicably sour, and the eyes are overflowing with water drops, shining brightly.

"Maybe."

An Yuxi comforted her and smiled slightly.

With a smile, all the flowers fell.

Hua Xiaoyi suddenly felt that his smile was like flowers running over her, desolate and absolute.

"I will, Brother Yuxi. You must persevere. As long as you don't give up on yourself, God will send you a pair of wings to fly. I read a book before, which said that as long as you defeat yourself, you can overcome everything Even if it is cursed by a witch, as long as you stick to your beliefs, you will be able to break through obstacles and find your own happiness! Happiness will only come if you persist, wait, and hope. Grandma also I said it - if you win yourself, you win the world. If you win yourself, you win everything!"

An Yuxi looked at her who was excited, and there were waves of ripples in her heart.Like tidal sea water, rising and rolling.

"Xiaoyi, do you know what architectural model 'William Castle' was built on?"

"I don't know, but I know that this fairy-tale castle is the most beautiful castle I have ever seen."

Hua Xiaoyi smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons.

"William Castle was rebuilt according to the prototype of Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. Neuschwanstein Castle was built in 1869, also known as 'Snow White Castle', is a knight's castle in the ancient century. Legend has it that Snow White once lived. "

Hua Xiaoyi's eyes were full of peach blossoms, and her hands waved: "Wow, really? That's the legendary fairy tale castle."

"Well, yes. In the past few years, I have visited the lakes around the castle, the rippling lake water, and the piles of swans. They are picturesque and beautiful, like a fairyland on earth. They are one of the symbols of Germany. The Germans are proud. Neuschwanstein Castle is located at the foothills of the Alps in Fussen, south of Munich, Germany. There are a large number of German swan sculptures in the castle, built on three cliffs, backed by the Alps, and facing a vast lake. Damn, it looks particularly sacred and solemn, with a total height of about 70 meters. 70 meters, you can imagine how high this is."

An Yuxi compared the height of the castle, and continued: "The four corners of the castle are cylindrical spires, and there are watchtowers on it. The interior decoration of the New Swan Palace is extremely luxurious, with a ballroom with colorful marble floors, a magnificent hall, and precious Antiques, jewelry and works of art. Some of the furnishings inside are open to the public, so walking inside, the mood becomes very simple, just like traveling in a beautiful fairy tale world. Surrounded by mountains and lakes, the white castle stands on the high On the high mountain, like a fairyland on earth, there are ancient traces of magic, kings, and knights hidden in legends. In that place, there are lush virgin forests, soft hillsides, and boundless green fields where flocks of cattle and sheep roam. The snowy Alps all year round and the endlessly wide clear water lake, the swans sleep peacefully... It is a place more like a fairy tale than a fairy tale. But..."

An Xiyu lowered her eyelashes like butterfly wings and said: "If there is no princess in the castle, no matter how beautiful it is, it will be lifeless. So I am returning home."

There was a trace of sadness and confusion in his tone, as if he was full of thoughts that he couldn't keep.

"Oh. Xi, in fact, if the princess can't wait for the prince, she will die slowly..."

Hua Xiaoyi felt An Yuxi's emotions, both passionate and sad, she secretly took his hand and squeezed it tightly.

Feeling Xiaoyi's depressed mood, An Yuxi narrowed his gaze, and put on his usual gentle smile. He held her arms tightly with both hands, giving her strength.

"Xiaoyi, do you want to dance?"

An Yuxi blinked at her.

"Dancing? Huh? But... I can't."

Hua Xiaoyi lowered her eyes speechlessly.

"It's okay, let the prince teach the princess who can't dance."

An Yuxi posed in a gentlemanly manner, stretched out his slender hand, and a crape myrtle petal fell on his palm.
