Chapter 237: Sea of ​​Lights (3)

Tonight, in Xinyue Pavilion, Lin Huan, Kong, and Dai Yin met again in this familiar place. After ordering the dishes, when the full table of food finally appeared in front of them, the three of them were shocked to find that the configuration of the dishes was exactly the same as that afternoon, accurate to the millimeter. However, the person who had closely connected them and was the most active was now absent and would never return. This huge gap was like a dark cloud, quietly and silently covering the hearts of the three people who were left now, making them feel emotional and sighing.

Although there was a hint of melancholy in my heart, I could only let things take their own course. The three of them tasted the food quietly and slowly, and every bite seemed to be filled with complicated and inexplicable emotions. Outside the window, the sound of fireworks bloomed from time to time, and the lively atmosphere of the Lantern Festival, even through a window, still rolled in like a surging wave. Finally, the three of them put down their chopsticks, stared at the little food left on the table, nodded to each other, and their eyes were full of deep emotion.

"Let's go for a walk..." Lin Huan whispered, with a hint of imperceptible melancholy in his voice, "The harbor is more lively." As soon as the voice fell, the three of them slowly stood up, left Xinyuexuan with a lot of thoughts in their hearts, and walked towards the harbor step by step. Their figures seemed a little lonely under the light, but they also yearned for the lively scene, as if they were trying their best to find the joy and warmth they once had.

The seaside is indeed more bustling than the long street. When the three of them arrived at the port, the first thing that caught their eyes was a brilliant and splendid scene. Countless lanterns were hung high everywhere, illuminating the entire port as if it were daytime. The lights of the lanterns reflected each other, just like a gorgeous sea of ​​stars. The crowd was bustling, and laughter was endless. Children ran through the crowd, holding colorful lanterns in their hands, like happy elves. Their laughter was crisp and pleasant, as if it was the most lively note in this lively scene.

The stalls on the beach were filled with all kinds of special snacks and exquisite handicrafts. The stall owners enthusiastically solicited customers, and the air was filled with the aroma of food and the sound of people talking. Not far away, some artists were performing wonderful shows, including juggling, magic and music. The audience gathered together, cheering and applauding from time to time.

The waves gently hit the coast, making pleasant sounds. On the sea, ships decorated with colorful lights slowly passed by, leaving beautiful light and shadows. In the distance, fireworks continued to bloom in the sky, and the colorful lights illuminated the entire night sky. The gorgeous colors and the lights of the port complemented each other, forming a beautiful picture.

In this lively atmosphere, people's faces are filled with joyful smiles. They are enjoying the beautiful scenery with their family and friends, tasting delicious food, or participating in various entertainment activities. Everyone is immersed in the joy of the Lantern Festival, forgetting all worries and fatigue. The three of them stood in the crowd, feeling the warm atmosphere, and their hearts were also infected by this joy, temporarily forgetting the slight melancholy.

In the silence that seemed like a deep pool of tranquility, Sora slowly and softly asked, "You have always been accompanied by all this bustle over the years, is that right?"

Lin Huan leaned against the railing quietly, with the vast sea behind her, and the vast and boundless sea in the distance. She was in the bustle, but at this moment, although she was in the bustle, she seemed to be isolated from it. The loneliness in her heart made her temporarily unable to fully integrate into the hustle and bustle in front of her. Despite this, she still nodded slightly.

"Yes. Once upon a time, I could truly experience everything that is happening before my eyes..." she replied calmly.

But what about now? Now, she clearly felt that she was a world away from the lively scene in front of her, like a lonely soul abandoned by the world, full of loss and confusion, and almost wanted to escape.

Kong frowned slightly, his eyes revealing deep reluctance. He took a step forward, approached Lin Huan, and whispered, "Ah Huan, don't imprison yourself in the past. Look, the hustle and bustle is still going on. If you turn around, you can rejoin it at any time."

Lin Huan listened to Kong's words, and her heart moved slightly. Yes, she also wanted to be part of this bustling crowd again. But the good memories of the past were clamoring wildly at this moment, reminding her not to forget the time she spent with those people. And the fear of losing made her afraid, for fear that she would lose it again after having it again.

Dai Yin looked solemn. After a moment of silence, he said, "The world is constantly changing, and you can't keep dwelling on the past. The excitement in front of you is real, and you should be brave enough to experience it."

"Even if we have to go against all the excitement in front of us, we cannot deny that the excitement in the past is meaningless." Kong said softly, "Do you still remember what Xingzhi said? Even if they are gone, you must remember that they once loved you deeply and cared about you... The same is true for Liyue Port. You also love her deeply, don't you?"

When Lin Huan heard this, she felt an indescribable complex emotion in her heart. She spoke hastily, with an eagerness and a hint of barely perceptible sadness in her words.

"I haven't forgotten! I also... have never thought of denying everything I once had... nor do I want to escape from the past and everything in the present. I am just thinking, thinking... the moon in the palm of my hand was a cup of tenderness that truly belonged to me, but now... I know very well that in the years to come, all of this will no longer be the same as before..."

"So, this is also considered a form of escape...right?" Lin Huan's voice was barely audible, and her eyes revealed deep confusion and self-doubt. The sea breeze blew, lifting her hair, and her lonely figure looked even lonelier under the bright lights.

Sora and Dain looked at each other, and they saw the same worry in each other's eyes. Sora opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know how to answer. Dain pursed his lips tightly, his expression solemn.

At this time, fireworks in the distance bloomed again, and the colorful lights illuminated the entire night sky and the faces of the three people. The brilliant colors seemed to be telling the colorful and ever-changing life, while Lin Huan's doubts were like a wisp of light smoke, lingering for a long time in this lively atmosphere of the Sea Lantern Festival, and people could not ignore them.
