Chapter 232 Eve

On the eve of the Lantern Festival, the sunset glowed like a gorgeous painting, spreading across the sky. The bright light covered the world with a warm and gorgeous brilliance like a veil. A few birds were happily dancing on the stone pavement at the door of the inn, just like lively notes, celebrating the upcoming Lantern Festival. Their lively figures added a touch of vitality to this tranquil scene.

Lin Huan stood quietly under the plaque of Wangshu Inn, and the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if time had frozen here. She was wearing a simple and elegant light blue long dress, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently in the breeze, like a quietly blooming orchid, exuding a light and elegant atmosphere. Carrying a bag on her back, she slowly turned around, her eyes fixed on the windowsill of a room on the third floor, where a small amber horseradish was quietly blooming. This flower was brought out from her own room in the Hall of Rebirth. At the beginning, she pestered Ping and rolled around to get it, and it had accompanied her for a long time. Those willful playful scenes seemed to be yesterday, clearly appearing in front of her eyes, but time passed mercilessly, and she knew that those beautiful memories would only become beautiful memories after all. The past cannot be pursued, and this last recollection with the past and old friends, she longed to complete it alone, like a solemn ceremony to remember those beautiful times that have passed.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, the puppet master happened to pass by inadvertently. He saw this scene, paused slightly, and his cold voice sounded softly like a clear spring in the mountains.

"Wait a minute, hey... do you need me to go with you?"

Lin Huan shook her head slightly, with a touch of tenderness and determination in her eyes. Tenderness is like the spring breeze, gently blowing through people's hearts; firmness is like a rock, indestructible. She responded softly: "No, Yu Qing. This is my journey alone, I want to say goodbye to the past alone. You stay and accompany Xiao in Wangshu Inn. He is always alone, and I can't be with him tomorrow, so I can only ask you."

Yu Qing frowned slightly, with a barely perceptible worry on his face. But in the end, he still succumbed to the determined gaze of the man in front of him and nodded: "Okay, since you have decided, I will stay. But you have to take good care of yourself, and call me anytime if you need anything."

Lin Huan showed a faint smile of gratitude and said softly: "Don't worry, I will. You and Xiao get along well. The Lantern Festival is a very beautiful festival. Since you are here, don't leave any regrets."

After saying that, Lin Huan turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing in the distance. Yu Qing looked in the direction she left, silent for a while, and finally sneered, turned around, and went upstairs.

"Humph, there's really nothing we can do about her..." Someone's somewhat helpless voice came from the sunset. But in fact, he was happy in his heart... He just wouldn't admit it!

On the roof of the inn, Xiao stood quietly. His figure was as tall as a pine tree, as if integrated with the world. His eyes looked into the distance, inadvertently sweeping across the plaque, and someone's words fell clearly into his ears. Xiao's eyes moved slightly, and there was an imperceptible smile on his cold face. The breeze gently blew through his hair, seeming to make his outline softer. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on him, adding a touch of warmth to him. In his heart, he couldn't help but think of every bit of his time with Lin Huan. Those memories were like bright stars, shining in his heart. He knew that this time, she left to find her own answers and to say goodbye to the past for the last time... But he also deeply looked forward to her return, looking forward to the moment when he would stand side by side with her again.

The brilliant colors of the sunset gradually dimmed, like a colorful painting slowly closing, and finally turned into inky black. There were no twinkling stars in the night sky, nor was there a bright moon hanging high in the sky, as if the whole world was immersed in a deep silence. This darkness seemed to be sighing for the quiet passing of a glorious time, with a touch of melancholy and reluctance.

Wangshu Inn, however, still stands there quietly, like a silent witness. It is neither close nor far away, but witnesses all this happening in a calm manner. It once witnessed a rebellious teenager stumbling out of his home with great expectations and settling here for a short time; it also witnessed friendships that can stand the test of time and shine here. Similarly, on this day, it also witnessed Lin Huan's departure, Yu Qing's helplessness, and Xiao's watch. In this darkness, Wangshu Inn seems to have become a beacon of time, carrying countless stories and memories, and looking forward to new stories unfolding in its arms.

The outline of the inn loomed in the night, as if telling the story of the years. The wind blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not blow away the memories that permeated the air. Although Lin Huan's figure had gone far away, the breath she left behind seemed to still linger in every corner of the inn. Yu Qing stood at the upstairs window, looking at the endless night, with a thousand thoughts in his mind. Xiao still stood quietly on the roof, his eyes deep and firm, as if he was guarding this land and the expectation in his heart.

The night is getting darker. Wangshu Inn exudes a mysterious atmosphere in the darkness, as if waiting for the dawn and the start of a new story.

Small extra chapter: Hmm~

A breeze blew gently across the roof of Wangshu Inn. Xiao stood quietly as usual, looking into the distance, wondering what he was thinking about. The puppet master came to the roof bored, and frowned slightly when he saw Xiao.

The puppet snorted, "Humph, it's boring to always stand here."

Xiao ignored the puppet master's words and remained silent. The puppet master felt a little bored, so he walked around casually on the roof.

Suddenly, a bird flew over from a distance. The puppet master's eyes moved, raised his hand and swung out a force, scaring the bird away. Xiao tilted his head slightly and glanced at the puppet master.

The puppet raised his chin: "Why? Have you never seen someone as powerful as me?"

Xiao retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Don't disturb living beings for no reason."

The puppet master was immediately annoyed: "I just think it's annoying. You're always so serious, it's really boring."

Xiao stopped talking, and the atmosphere fell into silence again. After a while, the puppet seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly and said, "Hey, that Lin Huan, is she often here with you?"

Xiao nodded slightly: "Yeah."

A complicated look flashed across the puppet's eyes: "She... is a special person."

The corners of Xiao's mouth moved slightly, as if he agreed with what the puppet master said. The puppet master looked at Xiao's expression and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hmph, I don't know when she will come back." The puppet master muttered.

Xiao looked into the distance again, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. They just stood quietly on the roof. Although there was not much communication, at this moment, they all had expectations for Lin Huan's return.
