Chapter 240: Sea of ​​Lights (End)

Sky lanterns and fireworks interweave in the vast night sky, and the light is brilliant and dazzling, as if to illuminate the whole world. Fireworks are like bright meteors, streaking across the sky at an astonishing speed, blooming into colorful and colorful flowers, and then quietly disappearing into the deep darkness. Sky lanterns float slowly, like bright stars, adding a touch of heartwarming color to the dark night, like a dreamlike picture scroll slowly unfolding in the sky.

The light of the sky lanterns and fireworks was reflected on the sea, sparkling and dreamlike, beautiful beyond words. A gentle breeze blew slowly, gently stirring people's hair and clothes, bringing a slight cool feeling, as if it was the gentle caress of nature. Lin Huan, Kong and Dai Yin quietly looked up at the bright lights and fireworks in the sky, their faces full of intoxication and amazement. They seemed to be deeply attracted by this beautiful scene, intoxicated by it, forgetting words, and temporarily forgetting the surging sorrow in their hearts and the tangled contradictions about the future, just immersing themselves in this moment full of hope and beauty, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

However, beautiful moments are always short-lived. The splendor of the fireworks gradually faded, and the sky lanterns began to slowly fall. Only a few stars remained in the night sky, flickering in the darkness, and the waves on the sea gradually calmed down, returning to their previous tranquility, like a gorgeous performance coming to an end. Kong and Dai Yin quietly accompanied Lin Huan, and no one mentioned returning to the shore. They just sat there quietly, watching the lights of the city on the shore dim little by little as the night fell and people fell asleep, as if witnessing the quiet passage of time.

Lin Huan stared into the distance motionlessly like a sculpture, as if immersed in her own vast ocean of thoughts. After a long time, she moved slightly and slowly took out a small sky lantern from her arms. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world, and every subtle movement was full of affection and attachment. The sky lantern was exquisitely made, with simple but beautiful patterns painted on it. The floating stone on the base was slightly shining with warm and soft light, like a beating heart, carrying endless thoughts.

Kong and Dain sat by her side, holding her nervously, fearing that she would lose her balance when she stood up from the boat. Lin Huan gently lit the lantern, and the warm light instantly illuminated her face. Her eyes were filled with deep longing and endless memories, and tears welled up in her eyes, which were the nostalgia for the past and the expectations for the future. She stood up carefully, and Kong and Dain held her arms tightly, not daring to relax at all, as if they were guarding a precious treasure.

She gazed at the inky black night sky and gently let go of her hand. The sky lantern swung slowly and flew away into the distance. Although it was alone, it was extremely determined. The sky lantern slowly moved forward on the inky sea, flying over the top of Tianheng Mountain in Liyue Harbor alone, but it could not catch up with the group of sky lanterns that had already gone far away in front. It was like a person who was left in the cracks of time, unable to grasp the most beautiful moments in memory. It was like a lonely traveler, full of thoughts, struggling to find its own direction in the darkness, flying alone, resolutely moving forward, never looking back, with endless courage and persistence.

The three of them silently looked at the gradually receding sky lantern, their hearts full of emotion. They knew very well that this sky lantern carried Lin Huan's past memories and deep longing for the departed, as well as their common hopes and blessings. The sky lantern swayed gently in the night sky, as if whispering an ancient and moving story, telling the vicissitudes of time and the tenacity of life.

Finally, when the lights on the shore were almost completely extinguished, Lin Huan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and whispered softly, "Let's go back." There was a trace of fatigue in her voice, but there was also a kind of determination, like that lantern in the sky. The loneliness and sadness of the past disappeared at this moment, leaving only a calm and silent determination. She longed to be like that lantern in the sky, flying far away alone, flying high, no longer looking back at the past, just staring firmly ahead, and bravely moving towards the future. Kong and Dai Yin looked at each other as if they had telepathy, and then nodded in tacit understanding. They carefully helped Lin Huan and let her sit down safely, and then worked together to slowly row the boat to the shore, as if moving forward together in the long river of life.

When they arrived at the shore, they saw a tall figure beside the harbor, holding a lit lantern, like a bright light in the dim silence, quietly watching there. That familiar figure instantly made Lin Huan's heart surge with warmth... It was the Emperor, it was the sir... He stood there, as if he had been waiting for a long time, like a firm lighthouse in the long river of time.

Mr. Zhongli looked at them quietly, his eyes full of concern. Under the light and shadow, his figure was tall and majestic, like a steady giant tower, exuding a reassuring atmosphere. Lin Huan bowed his head slightly and saluted respectfully. Kong and Dai Yin's eyes fell on Yan Shen, with complicated expressions. Although they did not speak, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging silently. It was an interweaving of different positions and emotions. However, when their eyes inadvertently swept over Lin Huan, the faint waves calmed down instantly, leaving only a calm gaze. They knew that in front of this woman, all disputes could be temporarily put aside. Kong and Dai Yin looked at each other with Mr. Zhongli, waved their hands gently, shook their heads slightly, and then fell silent. Mr. Zhongli nodded slightly, his expression indifferent, as if nothing had happened. In this subtle atmosphere, the three men quietly suppressed the imperceptible undercurrent because of the woman beside them, leaving only a seemingly peaceful tranquility, like a quiet harbor after a storm.

Finally, Mr. Zhongli raised his lips slightly and said slowly: "Thank you for accompanying Ah Huan today... Thank you." His voice was steady and powerful, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, instantly making people feel extremely stable. His eyes contained a touch of gentle gratitude, quietly falling on Kong and Dai Yin. Kong and Dai Yin looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and then turned around and said goodbye to Lin Huan. They knew that Lin Huan needed some time to sort out his mood at this moment.

Lin Huan stood at the port, looking at the backs of Kong and Dai Yin as they walked away, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew that she was never alone and had many friends who cared about her.

At this time, Mr. Zhongli walked slowly to Lin Huan with steady steps and stood side by side with her. He tilted his head slightly, looked in the direction where the two people left, and said softly: "I already know what you said during the day... Don't worry, go with peace of mind, don't worry about Liyue Port, have a good rest. Don't worry, time will always heal all the pain, everything will be fine." After a pause, his eyes revealed endless tenderness, and he whispered, "Ah Huan, remember to come back often, see Ping, see Ganyu... and..." His voice was like a gentle spring breeze blowing across the face, bringing endless warmth.

"And sir..." Lin Huan leaned over, gently pulled his sleeve, and whispered, "I know... and sir, I will not forget to come back..."

"Don't worry, you can come back slowly..." Mr. Zhongli lowered his head slightly and looked at Lin Huan, his eyes full of doting and expectation. He stretched out his hand and gently took the slightly thin little figure beside him into his arms, giving her a warm and eternal hug. His movements were gentle and firm, as if conveying an invisible power to her. "I'll wait for you, and I believe that you will be able to adjust."

Lin Huan closed his eyes slightly, listened to the steady heartbeat of the person beside him, and nodded gently.

"I will." Of course I can.

"Let's go. Do you know? Lishui and the others came here in the afternoon and sat with Ping at the tea table under the tree for a long time. They knew you had your own things to do, and later they learned that your friends were here to accompany you, so they didn't dare to show up and disturb you. They have never left and have always been at Yujingtai. Let's go find them and sit for a while before leaving, okay? Let Lishui and the others accompany you, they are really worried about you..." Mr. Zhongli showed a faint smile on his face and said softly, "You can feel their feelings...right?"

"…It's Ah Huan's fault that I made the elders worry…"

"Don't say that. They are willing, and Ah Huan, you are worth it. Let's go. It's getting late..."

"Ah."

Lin Huan raised her head and looked at the Emperor's determined eyes. The uneasiness in her heart gradually faded. She knew that the Emperor had been silently protecting Liyue Harbor and everyone here. They stared at the dark sea together. The lonely sky lantern had disappeared in the darkness in the distance. But they also understood that hope would never disappear, just like the sky lanterns in the sky, which would always bloom with the most beautiful and brilliant light in the darkness.
