She looked at the ceiling, where there were stars made of colored paper, tied to them by thin strings, swaying and tumbling in the breeze.
This was clearly the scene she saw every night, but for some reason, when she saw the familiar decorations again, Yun Su couldn't remember when they were hung in her room.
The afternoon light reflected on her eyelashes, turning them into a golden color. Yun Su lay on the bed, lost in thought.
I remembered.
This was when Jingyan was five years old.
Having just celebrated his birthday, he asked himself in confusion: "Master, Master, when is your birthday?"
Yun Su didn’t remember. She shook her head, pinched the boy’s tender face, picked him up and put him on her lap.
Pretending to be unreasonable, he said, "Every day is my birthday."
Jing Yan's clear eyes blinked again and again, and he kept Yun Su's words in his heart.
So, the next day, when Yun Su opened the door, he found the young Jing Yan standing on a pile of tables and chairs, hanging stars in her room.
Yun Su asked him why.
Jing Yan replied as a matter of course: "Master, for every birthday I will give you a star... But how old are you, Master? If you are over 500 years old, just pretend I didn't say that."
Yun Su was so angry that he laughed. He pinched his ears and pulled him down from the high table and chair.
But he did not pluck the sky full of stars that Jingyan gave her.
Now it looks... so ugly.
Why do I still keep those little things? I can just pick them off and throw them away someday...
Forget it, that would be too much trouble. I'll just keep it like this, even though she doesn't like it that much... Really, it's just because she's too lazy. She definitely doesn't like these ugly little stars, even if they were given to her by Jingyan when she was a child!
After all, if he didn't care about the gift given by his disciple, Jingyan would hug her thighs and cry... Yes, that's right, Jingyan would definitely do that. I just didn't want to make him sad, so I kept it.
Who made him have such a considerate and good-looking master? !
Yun Su covered his mouth and silently advised himself in his heart.
She turned her head again and saw the bamboo chair with a broken corner.
The image of the young boy, who had grown to his chest, appeared in her mind.
It was an afternoon, and the young man was tinkering with something in the yard with a hammer and a saw. Yun Su was curious, so he came behind him and watched quietly.
He split the bamboo from Qingzhu Peak and weaved it into tightly connected bamboo strips. The boy waved the hammer and saw, and the outline of the chair appeared in front of Yunsu.
"What are you doing?"
Yun Su opened his mouth, which scared Jing Yan. The young man covered the bamboo chair behind him in panic and stammered that it was nothing.
Yun Su narrowed her eyes and leaned forward. At that time, she was much taller than Jing Yan, and no matter how hard Jing Yan tried to block it, he couldn't block it completely.
“Oh, it’s a chair.”
Yun Su smiled and said, "Why, is this the gift you want to give to Master?"
"No...but also."
Jingyan lowered his head and said in frustration, "I saw that there was no chair in Master's room, so I wanted to make one for Master. However, this is my first time making a bamboo chair, and it seems to have some problems."
The boy pointed at the legs of the bamboo chair and whispered, "It's a little unstable."
Yun Su lay on the bed and took a deep breath. What was he thinking at that time?
She only remembered that she was very pleased at the time and snatched the slightly flawed chair from the boy, even though Jing Yan said that she would wait for him to replace it with a flawless one...
Because that was the first one Jingyan made, it is very commemorative.
So much so that later, even though Jing Yan made many bamboo chairs at Qingzhu Peak, Yun Su still placed the slightly flawed bamboo chair in her room, in front of her own eyes.
As expected, the chair leg broke...even though she had taken great care of it.
Suddenly, large amounts of childhood memories with Jingyan came flooding back to Yunsu's mind. She stared blankly at everything around her, only to find that everything was engraved with traces of Jingyan.
Although she has a long life ahead of her, she hates these nostalgic memories the most. In the endless years to come, they will become sharper than a blade, piercing deeply into her heart all the time.
People's life is limited.
Compared to the monsters, human lifespan is so short. Compared to the long lifespan of the monsters, it is just like a splash of water in the ocean. The splash jumps up, and with a snap, it can never be found again.
But why do I still care so much about the scriptures?
She knew clearly that in the future, there would be memories as sharp as a knife that would pierce her body.
Yun Su felt that she had become accustomed to the coldness of loneliness, but she didn't know why she was so longing for the hot temperature brought by Jing Yan... She was like a moth flying into a flame.
"Boom-"
The sound of Qiu Shui telling the time came from afar. Yun Su got up from the bed and looked forward in a daze.
Oh no, I have things to do in the afternoon!
She remembered that when Jingyan was alone with her in the morning, he touched her head in a disrespectful manner and invited her to walk with him in Qiu Shui in the evening.
At that time, she glanced at Jingyan warily, and while saying something like "it's impossible between master and disciple", she secretly looked at Jingyan. The boy's eyes were clear, without any complicated thoughts.
Yun Su couldn't explain what her mentality was at the time, but it didn't matter. She had become weird and didn't care at all.
She agreed.
Although inviting two people to be alone together seems a bit like having an affair, Yun Su is very clear that the relationship between her and Jing Yan is just a simple master-disciple relationship - there is nothing wrong with the master caring more about the disciple and chatting with him, right?
Obviously not.
So, she hurried to the dressing mirror, looked at her reflection in the mirror, and unexpectedly became concerned about her appearance.
Are your lips a little dull?
In fact, Yun Su didn't need to care about these things at all. There might not be many people in the world who could match her beauty, but at this moment, Yun Su felt a little worried.
She quietly dug out a lip balm from her cupboard that was dated who knows how many years ago. The lip balm was bright red, so she pursed her lips and held it, staining her lips with a stunning red.
After doing so, she nodded with satisfaction at the mirror, but then she began to hesitate about what clothes she should wear.
Yun Su rummaged through her closet and found that her clothes were a little old - she didn't really care what she wore, no matter what she wore, her face would be covered up.
It's obviously just a simple chat between master and disciple, there's no need to wear new clothes, right?
Yun Su tilted his head and thought about it, but quickly shook his head.
How could this be possible? Since it was a conversation between a master and his disciple, he must take it seriously and wear his best-looking clothes - all to show how much the master values his disciple!
Right, that is it.
But...she doesn't seem to have any new clothes to wear.
Yun Su thought about it distressedly, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he remembered a piece of clothing that had been covered in dust for a long time.
......
......
The sound of distant bells was heard in the distance.
That was the ringing of the ancient bell standing in the Elders' Pavilion - that ancient bell had gone through countless years of wind and frost, and had been standing on the top of the Elders' Pavilion since Qiu Shui was first established. Every morning and afternoon, the steady bell tolling, steeped in history, would resound in every corner of Qiu Shui.
Jing Yan sat on the top of Qingzhu Peak, waiting for Yun Su.
He wanted to take Yun Su to see the sunset over Qiu Shui.
Jingyan just waited here quietly, waiting for Yunsu's arrival.
Suddenly, there were tiny footsteps behind him, and the breeze blew through the treetops, and the leaves of thousands of green plants danced in the breeze on the top of the mountain.
At this time, the sun was setting into the valley, illuminating the sky and the earth with a dim yellow light. The warm light shone on Yun Su's body, adding a touch of warmth to her lonely and cold figure.
She was wearing a white and red dress, with exquisite and expensive hair accessories tied up on top of her black hair. Her figure was facing the breeze, and the breeze blew up the hair by her ears, reflecting in Jingyan's eyes.
For a moment, Jing Yan was stunned.
Yun Su was wearing the goddess's dress that she had worn before, the dress that had witnessed history during the Sky Fox Clan's sacrificial day.
He seemed to see Yun Ling'er's figure crossing the eternal world and merging into one with Yun Su in front of him. At this moment, Yun Su no longer had the same expression as before. A blush appeared on his cheeks, and there was a hint of innocence and longing in his eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
Yun Su waved his hand curiously in front of Jing Yan and spoke.
Jingyan came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Master, where did you find this set of clothes?"
"How is it? Doesn't it look good?" Yun Su smiled and replied, "I found it in my storage spirit ring. There are many things in it that I have never noticed before. It might be a priceless antique."
As she spoke, she looked at Jing Yan and asked doubtfully, "Where are the places you said you would take me to, and the scenery you said you would show me?"
"right here."
Jingyan replied with a smile.
Fate is such a wonderful thing. Even after tens of millions of years, Yun Su is still guarding the place where he once saw the stars from all the generations.
The small hill where the black fox was buried is now the Qingzhu Peak.
"Ah...that's it?"
Yun Su was a little disappointed. She thought Jing Yan was going to take her to see something extraordinary.
"Don't worry, the time is not up yet."
Jing Yan covered Yun Su's eyes and whispered in her ear the question that Yun Ling'er had once asked him.
"Master, do you know why Qiu Shui is called Qiu Shui?" Jing Yan said slowly, "Qiu Shui is warm like spring all year round, so why is it called Qiu Shui?"
Yun Su's eyes were covered and he was a little flustered.
She shook her head: "Why are you asking me about this? Go ask the person who named Qiu Shui."
"No need, I will help Master solve his doubts."
As he said this, Jing Yan released his hands that were covering Yun Su's eyes.
The scene before him was reflected in Yun Su's eyes——
As dusk falls, everything is illuminated with golden light. The endless mountains are surrounded by a golden sky, and the distant buildings are also immersed in the picturesque beauty.
The sea of clouds in the distance stretches endlessly, like a golden rice field, where the innocent girl once strolled, raising layers of wheat waves.
The distant Qiu Shui main peak is reflected in the distance, just like ten thousand years ago, the girl was watching over the ancestral tree, now Yun Su is also watching over Qiu Shui.
She has always been a guardian and that has never changed.
Yun Su was shocked by the scene before her. She opened her eyes wide and held her breath.
Slowly leaned into Jingyan's arms.
“Was it like this before?”
she asked confused.
"It's always been like this."
Jing Yan smiled and said, "From ancient times to now."
Then, there was a long, wordless silence, and the two of them sat on the top of Qingzhu Peak, just like the memorial day ten thousand years ago.
"hug me."
This time, she no longer resisted her own heart and spoke softly.
Then, he held her gently in his hot and warm arms.
a long time.
This time, Yun Su's request was responded to and she was no longer alone.
122. Be bold this time
The evening breeze blows slowly.
Yun Su fell asleep unknowingly.
She lay in the warm embrace, feeling at ease like never before. The nightmare that had troubled her for days disappeared without a trace.
By the time she woke up, it was already dark.
