Chapter 235: Sea of ​​Lights (1)

Lin Huan did not stop there, but stepped forward resolutely and came to the side of Kong and Dai Yin. For a moment, the surroundings seemed to be swallowed by silence. They stared at the tombstone belonging to Hu Xingzhi quietly, all silent. The solemn and sad atmosphere was like an invisible haze, covering the world.

After a long time, Lin Huan opened his lips gently, his voice trembling and helpless. "I can understand the choices of my brother and Brother Boyang, and I understand their love for me... But I still can't let it go. Why did the once lively and agile brother Xingzhi become so old, with wrinkles all over his face and snow-white hair. Time never stops for anyone. Once missed, there is no possibility of recovery. Although I have been mentally prepared, I still can't bear to see the once vigorous person turned into a cold tombstone. It's as if all his vitality and light were sealed in an instant. The memories are looming in my heart, visible but untouchable." In this world, memories are not as solid as a rock, and may even be tampered with by the so-called fate at any time. In Lin Huan's heart, a hatred that cannot be ignored suddenly surged and surged in his heart.

Just when Lin Huan was immersed in sadness and confusion, the door of memory quietly opened, and the good old days in the past slowly unfolded before her eyes like a picture scroll. It was a spring day with a gentle breeze. She came back from outside, and Hu Xingzhi walked towards her with a bright smile on his face and a bunch of colorful wild flowers in his hands. He carefully selected the most beautiful and moving Qingxin flower and gently pinned it in her hair, his eyes full of tenderness and joy.

"Sister~ Sister Ahuan... You're back? That's great! Look, this pure flower is a perfect match for you. So, be happy, believe in yourself, and don't waver... Promise your brother, okay?" His voice was as clear as the sound of nature, echoing in her ears, making her heart vibrate like a drum. The pain and resentment caused by Hu Xingzhi's old age and death before now quickly receded like a tide, and could no longer affect her at all. She raised her head and stared at the scene in front of her again, but saw that the warm and tall figure disappeared at this moment, leaving only the cold tombstone standing quietly in front of her. At this moment, Lin Huan's eyes were moist again, and the reluctance in her heart surged like a surging tide.

Dai Yin frowned slightly and looked sideways at Lin Huan beside him. His expression was still stern, like a silent mountain, but there was a hint of comfort in his tone. "Fate is unpredictable, full of unknowns and challenges. We cannot control all the changes, but we all know that Hu Xingzhi found his own value in every choice he made. Throughout his life, every decision was resolute and unyielding. His efforts were by no means meaningless. On the contrary, his life was full of meaning, like a bright star that illuminated the world around him. And his initial choice was not to escape the responsibility of the Wangsheng Hall, but to make life more valuable and to pursue the beliefs and ideals in his heart... So, Ah Huan, you must remember that every choice in every stage of life has its unique meaning. Just like you resolutely decided to let go, leave, and return to Jueyunjian at this time... But this does not mean that you will not come back in the future, does it?" He raised his hand, patted Lin Huan's shoulder gently, and said softly, "Don't be too sad... Didn't you promise your father and comrades that you would not cry? Why... Forget it, it doesn't matter. You can cry when you are sad. Anyway, we are all here and we will always be with you."

Kong gently patted Lin Huan's shoulder, his eyes flashing with a complex dark light, like a deep lake. "Lin Huan, I understand your sadness at this moment. We are all experiencing our own destiny in this world. Hu Xingzhi has made his choice, and we, too, have our own way to go. You have been to Inazuma, and you must have seen the consequences of Lei Shen's choice. Because of pain and loss, she no longer looks into the distance, clings to her so-called eternity, closes herself off, no longer sees, no longer hears...but makes the people behind her fall into endless internal friction and pain. But we don't need to repeat her mistakes. You should face yourself and the future bravely, because the future is full of unknowns, and the unknown also contains infinite possibilities."

Hearing this, Lin Huan was slightly stunned, and even his sad emotion paused for a moment. Then he muttered in a hoarse voice, and the sound was so faint that it could not be heard by the two people beside him.

"...Fortunately, Yu Qing is with Xiao and not here. Otherwise...he would be furious after hearing these words...Yu Qing...he wants to change everything. But he can't stand hearing such words, even if he is just trying to lead him a little..."

Lin Huan was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down. She looked at Kong and Dai Yin, and there was a firmness in her eyes, like a beam of bright light. "You are right... I just... I am a little upset, but you are right... I really can't let Brother Xingzhi see me in such a mess in front of his tombstone..." She took a deep breath, wiped her tears, and whispered, "Thank you... It's good to have you here."

Kong nodded slightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. "That's right, Lin Huan. The past is the past, and we must look forward. I believe Hu Xingzhi also hopes to see you bravely move forward, not looking back, like a gust of wind, bravely and fearlessly blowing towards the future. The future is full of infinite possibilities, waiting for you to explore and discover."

Dainsleb's words were few, but full of power, like a sharp sword. "We are friends, Lin Huan, you are not alone... Besides, meaningless sadness will only hinder one's steps and make one stagnate in the same place, and only by moving forward calmly can we comfort the deceased and let them rest in peace... Tell me, am I right?"

Lin Huan was slightly startled after hearing Dai Yin's words, and then a light flashed in his eyes, like a star suddenly appearing in the night sky. "You are right, Dai Yin. I can't stay trapped in sadness forever. I want to carry on with Brother Xingzhi's courage and perseverance. He lived a meaningful life, and I can't let the long immortal life that follows become meaningless because of longing and unrest... I want my life to bloom with its own brilliance."

Kong also showed a relieved smile, waved his hand and said with a smile: "See, that's right! Okay, Ah Huan, it's getting dark, you finish the last ceremony, let's go down the mountain together to see the beautiful scenery of the Lantern Festival? I can see that the lights at the port have been turned on! We have to hurry."

Hearing this, Lin Huan looked up at the sky with red eyes and said softly: "Yes, you are right!"

As she spoke, Lin Huan took out the remaining two incense sticks in her hand and lit them. The rising smoke seemed to carry her thoughts far away. Under the silent gaze of Dai Yin and Kong, she respectfully bowed three times in front of the tombstones of her father and brother. Then, she gently inserted the two incense sticks in front of the two tombstones, as if completing a sacred ceremony, expressing her deep thoughts and respect for her relatives.

"Okay, Dad, brother, we are leaving... You... take good care of yourself here, I... will come to see you often... Oh, I forgot, I forgot to say, Dad, brother... Happy Lantern Festival!"

After that, Lin Huan turned around, and walked down the mountain with Kong and Dai Yin in the gradually darkening night, blending into the lights. The warm lights seemed to welcome them and lead them to a future full of hope. On the way down the mountain, Lin Huan's heart was still full of longing for Hu Xingzhi, but she also understood that she could not always be immersed in sadness. She had to face the future life bravely with Hu Xingzhi's expectations. The company of Kong and Dai Yin also made her feel the warmth and strength of friendship, making her more determined to move towards the future.
