The more Li Mo spoke, the less confident he became, and his voice became weaker.
He blushed as he spoke later, and started walking around holding Sakura's hand. Standing there would only make him extremely embarrassed.
Sakura didn't respond.
Li Mo felt strange and turned around cautiously to see why Ying was disagreeing with him, when he saw a pair of strange eyes gleaming.
Although she was under the brilliant and bright sunlight, Sakura's eyes could not see much highlights and were filled with melancholy.
But she had a smile on her lips, under Li Mo's gaze,,,
In an instant, the flow of time in the world seemed to be accelerated by 0.5 times.
Cherry pink,,,
Li Mo: “?”
Out of curiosity and taboo, Li Mo saw the whole process clearly in broad daylight.
At some point, a small tent was set up in the village, but it was quickly suppressed by reason.
Li Mo, ah Li Mo, you are an upright person...
The relationship should end here and cannot go any further. Otherwise, how will we face reality when Sakura finds her?
Li Mo kept telling himself not to try to cross that bottom line.
Because a person's moral bottom line is like a rolling stone on the top of a mountain. Once you take the first step, there is no turning back.
Not everyone is like Sisyphus, who is able to stick to his original aspiration and push the boulder back to the top of the mountain again and again for ten years.
This is the law of nature, the result of human nature. The law... is countless times more powerful than human will. It is not only the strange law, but also the natural law.
No matter how much you restrain yourself afterwards, once your inner bottom line is crossed, you will not feel too much shame in your mind for all kinds of transgressions. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
"There's a stream outside the village, Mo Jun, do you need to go wash now?"
"Of course. Let's go. This kind of thing can't be delayed. A girl needs to make sure she's clean."
While I can still hold on.
Li Mo urged Ying.
Ying, whose temperament had changed drastically, listened to Li Mo's words in this regard and did not do anything that violated the rules along the way.
Her eyes passed through the misty morning, wandering in the bright morning light, gazing intently at the trees in the forest, her lips slightly parted, looking thoughtfully at the blooming or withering flowers nourished by the morning dew.
When walking on the stone steps, you will lower your head from time to time to avoid the grass and trees growing in the cracks of the stones under your feet.
The sky brightened and the road ahead became extremely brilliant, but Ying rarely left the shadow. Only when there was no sunlight on the road ahead and the shadows cast by the trees would she be forced to stand in the sun, squinting her eyes because of the dazzling halo.
Chapter 49 Burning Thousands of Flowers in One Night
When she walked on the stone steps, she would lower her head from time to time to avoid the grass and trees growing in the cracks of the stones under her feet.
The sky brightened and the road ahead became extremely brilliant, but Ying rarely left the shadow. Only when there was no sunlight on the road ahead and the shadows cast by the trees would she be forced to stand in the sun and squint her eyes.
This is a behavioral habit that has been developed over a long period of time, although Li Mo is not clear about the reason for the habit.
For a moment, Li Mo couldn't tell whether the absurd thing Ying had just done was real or imaginary.
Obviously, at this moment, Sakura still looks dull and innocent, but a little less lively. Unlike when they first met, her eyes were not gleaming with curiosity and desire.
Coming to the stream, Ying knelt down skillfully, stretched out her hands to catch a handful of stream water, and wiped away the turbid white stains at the corners of her mouth.
He took another handful and put it into his mouth, and his lips suddenly became moist.
As if feeling thirsty, Ying scooped up a pool of stream water and drank it all in one gulp.
"Ying?" Li Mo called out hesitantly.
"What's wrong? Mo Jun, do you think there is something I haven't done well? Ying doesn't understand, please point it out to her." Ying turned around and lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment from an adult.
Li Mo shook his head, walked to Ying's side and pointed at the stream.
Undoubtedly, Ying's deft movements and reckless drinking were also habits developed from living alone in the wilderness. A normal person would endure thirst, but when they could no longer endure, they would hesitate to drink mountain stream water, no matter how long it took. For modern people who have lived in cities, drinking seemingly clean water that actually lacks any hygienic guarantees is likely to cause them some psychological distress.
But Ying didn't, which means she was used to it and didn't care even if this approach was inappropriate.
Li Mo: "Have you...really been here for a long time?"
Ying responded without hesitation, "Yes, I don't remember how long it's been, I just know it's been a long, long time... Ying has seen every tree and every road here. I've watched the saplings grow into towering trees, and the road beneath my feet become bumpy and worn away."
“If you are thirsty, drink water from the stream. If you are hungry, go to the village shop and find food.”
Li Mo: "What about entertainment?"
Ying gave a wry smile: "I fantasize about finding a living person other than myself one day."
After hearing this, Li Mo felt a little heartbroken. Indeed, any entertainment cannot be sustained with only one person. Once the novelty wears off, there will only be endless emptiness and loneliness.
Ying walked up to Li Mo, held him in her arms, and gave all her softness and warmth to Li Mo.
This may be the only tenderness she can give during the long and lonely time.
"Ying was really happy when she saw Mo Jun. Very happy..."
"Ying doesn't want to deceive Mo-jun."
"When I met Mo Jun, Ying's mind was full of thoughts about how to keep you by my side forever... But Ying was too stupid. Too much time had passed, and she had long forgotten Mo Jun's preferences, and also forgotten... many of the feelings from the past."
"When Mo Jun kept talking about Ling, about Sister Beichen, and about your ordinary and peaceful life... Ying felt nothing but jealousy... It's ugly, isn't it, this twisted thought..."
Sakura's voice gradually became lower, just like her lowered head.
Once upon a time, she could hold her head high and repay Li Mo's kindness openly.
Even if they are just some trivial things, they are evidence of one's strong nature.
She didn't want to owe anything and had a simple mind. Since Li Mo treated her well, she would treat Li Mo well. It was that simple.
"Mo Jun doesn't seem to notice—"
"I... have forgotten the feelings I felt back then. Family, friends, classmates, teachers... Ying can't feel anything. It's been so long that even their voices have long been forgotten. The things I did, the words I said, the deep things, the things I cared about, even if I could recall them, they all seem bland. When Mo Jun talked about these things, Ying didn't know how to respond and could only stand there and listen. The more vividly Mo Jun described his life, the more Ying felt ashamed."
"Compared to the colorful world outside, this place is empty, and Ying, who lives here, is just a poor and stupid person."
"Ying is very happy that Mojun has been living well these past few years. He has people who care about him, and people who care about him. He has a peaceful life, and occasionally there are interesting new things that he has never experienced before..."
Ying pushed Li Mo away with both hands and took two steps back, keeping a distance between them that was neither far nor close.
But this distance cannot be bridged by just one person reaching out his hand.
Just like the situation between two people, if only one of them is willing, it is impossible to keep the other person by their side.
Whether it is the difference in the world or the distance in the heart.
Li Mo didn't know what to say to comfort Ying. He had never been in love, but he had a bad feeling in his head.
Sakura suddenly revealed all her thoughts, no matter how ugly or beautiful they were, to him without any disguise.
what does this mean?
Li Mo subconsciously walked forward, and Ying pushing him away was not a good sign.
She wants to...walk the path of solitude alone?
"I'm sorry, Ying, I... can't promise to stay here forever. There are many people I care about in the outside world, and I can't leave them yet. I can't give you enough company... I'm sorry..."
Li Mo didn't say the second half of the sentence because he didn't want Ying to completely embark on the path of loneliness.
It is really lonely to live alone in this world.
But he didn't seem to have the qualifications to persuade Ying to follow his own ideas, as that would be too selfish.
If the time relationship really exists, one hour in reality is equal to one year in dreams.
Then why did he think that he was qualified to teach Sakura how to do things when he could only spend half a day with her in twelve years?
"..."
Ying was hugged tightly by Li Mo, and neither of them spoke first.
Until dusk is about to fall and night is about to come.
Li Mo's head was dizzy. Although he didn't sleep in his dream, he still felt sleepy and tired in reality.
This is why Li Mo feels that the world in his dreams is another reality.
But he was stubborn and unwilling to let go.
Li Mo suddenly understood why Beichen criticized those who thought that everyone could understand each other by sitting down and talking about everything. Some things cannot be changed by just talking.
Everyone can only do what they can, whether it is for themselves or for others.
All he could do now was to make Sakura feel better in this short period of time.
When she wakes up from the dream, she will be alone again...
"Mo Jun, don't blame yourself. You did nothing wrong. I know all these things, but how could I hate you..."
"More than ten years... no, maybe it takes even longer before we can meet. Once that time is up, you'll disappear inexplicably. You'll turn a blind eye to Sakura's actions after she finally made up her mind, and you won't dare face her enthusiasm and initiative. You'll always be talking to yourself, saying things that Sakura can't understand, and you'll be filled with envy..."
"Ying should have hated you, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't hate Mo-jun."
The moonlight was like water, and the silver glow seemed to condense into a veil, falling quietly and draping on Sakura's silky and satin-like long hair.
Ying raised her head and lightly touched Li Mo's guilty face with her fingertips. Her slender fingers gently stroked Li Mo's eyebrows, nose tip, and cheeks, as if she was touching the most precious treasure in her heart, and she was reluctant to use any force.
The voice is light and very gentle.
"Because I like you so much."
"Even if I can only see him for half a day, Ying will feel very satisfied. I am willing to wait for him as long as he is here. As long as Mo Jun has not forgotten, Ying is willing to wait until Mo Jun appears here."
"So, stay with me more from now on, okay?"
"it is good……"
Faced with Ying's request, Li Mo softened his heart unconsciously and agreed.
"Mo Jun." Ying called softly.
"What's wrong?" Li Mo lowered his head and looked into Ying's eyes, his turquoise eyes trembling.
"I've already washed it."
Li Mo's face began to heat up, and the blush quickly spread to his ears and neck. "Is it okay?"
"Um……"
Li Mo said "hmm" in a mosquito-like voice, and after getting permission, he bent down slightly.
Under the moonlight, their lips touched each other.
"thump!"
The sound of bodies falling to the ground echoed through the grass and trees, but no one cried out in pain.
In the silent and deserted forest, the faint wind seemed to be ignited by fire, burning bigger and bigger.
The branches and leaves screamed in pain as they were blown away, and the burnt ashes fell to the place where the fallen leaves were conspicuous, and fell into the stream together.
"Gulu...Gulu..."
"Gulu...Gulu..."
Strange sounds came from the bottom of the stream, and seemed to be the voice of someone in pain. However, in this desolate world, it was a rare bright color.
Under the moon, wildfires swept through the forest, burning millions of flowers in one night.
The next day, Li Mo woke up groggily, feeling a little cold. He looked around and found himself lying on the lawn.
It seemed like someone went a little too far last night. It wasn't him, it was Sakura.
I didn't even last a few minutes... No, this is too short. I'll be laughed at if I tell others. What went wrong?
Li Mo pondered, fortunately it happened many times, with a twenty-minute interval between each time. As for how many times exactly, he couldn't remember.
After all, who would bother to count this when enjoying the loud thunder and elegant singing.
"Didn't you return to reality after waking up..."
"The connection with reality is still there, but... it seems a little weaker?"
Li Mo felt a sense of being pulled away. As long as he wanted, he could still leave this world at this moment.
