Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time
Chapter 69: The Wrong Ending, the Right Obsession
That day, Lin Huan stayed at home with Uncle Hu. The next day was the same... However, in the afternoon, the invitations were printed.
After taking the gifts for the gentleman and the Ye family and saying goodbye to Uncle Hu, Lin Huan turned around and walked out.
In fact, except for the last time in Fushe, she rarely took the initiative to go to Yiyan Hall to look for her master. Usually, her master came to Wangsheng Hall or Wangshu Inn to see her. To be honest... This time, it was the same. She didn't even go through the archway and was stopped on the long street.
"Ah Huan... I'm here, look back." A low and indifferent voice sounded, causing Ah Huan, who was about to walk towards Yujingtai, to suddenly turn back. A light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled brilliantly.
"Sir... I'm so sorry, you always come to me, I've never taken the initiative to visit you."
"It's okay. Why should we follow those rules between you and me?" Mr. Zhongli smiled and shook his head. He walked up to Lin Huan and took her down the long steps to the dock. They listened to the sound of waves hitting the embankment side by side and watched the ships return or leave the port one after another.
"I'm free today and it's a rare opportunity for me to go out for a walk. I'm very happy to see you." Mr. Zhongli's tone was very gentle. He leaned against the railing with a relaxed posture, supporting himself with his hands, feeling the breeze from the river. He glanced sideways at Lin Huan's profile, and a fleeting smile flashed in his eyes.
"To be honest... sir, I feel the same way." Lin Huan chuckled and looked back, with tenderness hidden in his eyes.
"Today, I am here on behalf of Uncle Hu to invite you...to the wedding ceremony of Brother Xingzhi and Sister Yunxi at the Liuli Pavilion in six days. I hope you can honor me by attending the banquet." Lin Huan handed the invitation to Mr. Zhongli with both hands.
"Well, of course... I will go then." Mr. Zhongli nodded slightly, reached out to take the invitation, put it in his arms, hummed lightly, and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
The invitation from Master Hu Jing was written very clearly, and there were not many guests invited. It was slightly different from her hometown. She had heard Mr. Hu mention that there were no empty formalities here. Most of them were close relatives and friends, as well as some business partners in Liyue Port. They just set up a few tables of banquets, had a meal and met people, which was simple and lively.
She remembered that she had not attended many wedding banquets in Teyvat, but... the wedding banquet of Brother Boyang and Sister Huixin could be counted as one, which was so simple and warm, yet also grand. She had accidentally forgotten it before, but at this moment, she kept those details in her mind all the time and had never forgotten them.
Lin Huan paused, his eyes fixed on the tall and slender figure beside him, unable to move away for a long time. He stared at the ships coming in and out of the harbor, going out to sea and returning, facing him sideways, relaxed and at ease, without a trace of defense. He was wearing a black gown similar to that day, but the clothes were embroidered with a completely different and complex dragon scale pattern, which was more solemn and majestic than the elegant and refined one that day.
But he had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were gentle, and he looked so approachable that she thought she could touch him. But when she got closer, she could still feel that he exuded a subtle alienation that was unapproachable. She knew that she was very close to him, but that was the limit... She drew a line for herself, and she didn't dare to ask for more. She was indeed afraid that some uncontrollable things would bring harm, obsession, and uncertainty to both parties.
But... when she reacted, her eyes could not be taken away, and they were glued to him, unable to move away. She could only look away awkwardly, looking at the distant sea level. As an immortal, she had good eyesight and could see the faint flash of lightning at the end of the coastline.
"A Huan." Just when Lin Huan was distracted, Mr. Zhongli suddenly called his name in a soft and gentle tone.
“…Sir?” Lin Huan raised his head and looked at the face so close to him, and couldn’t help being a little stunned.
"Nothing..." Mr. Zhongli saw everything without leaving any trace, and sighed softly, "I just saw that you were a little absent-minded, are you worried about something?"
Lin Huan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "How could that be? I just saw all this... and suddenly I thought of something, and I thought of those people... who will never come back again."
It was true. She suddenly thought of the young boy again. The first time she saw him after he grew up was under the plaque of the long pavilion, not far from here. The boy was still a patrol soldier holding a white cherry spear. Everything was fine at that time, and the subsequent disaster had not yet happened. The boy was heroic and full of vigor and vitality. The future was in his eyes... within reach.
There are also some boundaries that can be touched but cannot be crossed. She can persuade herself to restrain herself, but there are some things that cannot be stopped from struggling out, and they cannot be hidden no matter what.
"Is that so..." Zhongli said slowly, his tone still calm and relaxed, "To be honest, I have thought about it... I have seen it, and I have experienced it for a very long time. But Ah Huan, we should always look forward and not be too pessimistic."
Hearing this, Lin Huan couldn't help but smile helplessly and shook his head. The two stood quietly, watching the ships constantly coming in and out of the sea, each with a myriad of thoughts in their minds.
Slowly, until it got dark, the lights in Liyue Harbor began to light up one after another. Lin Huan finally reacted and looked up at Mr. Zhongli, smiling, "Sir, we should go back. It's getting late."
It would be fine to go to the Ye family's invitation tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will go to see Brother Boyang and do some serious work.
