a man who appears once a year

"...Yu...Yu Huan..."

Ruan Qiuping panicked and stretched out his hand to hold Yu Huan, his voice trembling slightly, he didn't know what to say, he could only call Yu Huan's name in a low voice as if to please.

But Yu Huan opened his hand finger by finger, and his lips curled up in a cold arc: "I don't think there is anyone in the whole world who is better than Ruan Ruan, who always thinks of me. You obviously don't love me, but you just pretend to be affectionate with me, why? Seeing me fall into the love you gave me, are you still so moved in your heart? "

"Yu Huan..." Ruan Qiuping muttered, "I'm sorry... I did something wrong..."

"How could Ruan Ruan be wrong? It was me who was wrong. I was wrong because I thought Ruan Ruan would love me."

"...Yu Huan, I... I will never lie to you again..."

"There is no future. Since Ruan Ruan doesn't love me, she doesn't need to be tied to get married by me. I will cancel the wedding tomorrow, and I will trouble Ruan Ruan to go with me to destroy the marriage at 49 o'clock tomorrow. But in order to repay Ruan Ruan, I will make a compromise." Say you love me, and create a sweet dream for me, and I will bear all the [-] thunderstorms. From then on, there will be no debt between you and me, and there is no need to see each other again."

Ruan Qiuping froze in place, like falling into an ice cave, only felt the cold winter wind blowing towards him, penetrating his skin, soaking his blood, and making his heart freeze inch by inch.

He stretched out his hand at a loss, trying to grab the corner of Yu Huan's clothes, but he only caught a cloud of cold air.

——Yu Huan turned around and left, as if he didn't want to look at him again.

Ruan Qiuping called his name and was about to follow in a panic.

"...Let's do it like this!" Yuelao behind him suddenly grabbed Ruan Qiuping, "You don't like him in the first place, and this just happens to be an opportunity for him to break up completely."

Ruan Qiuping acted as if he hadn't heard anything, pulled out the hand being held by Yuelao, with a pale face, staggered towards Yu Huan's direction.

Yuelao looked at Ruan Qiuping's back, then at the empty rock, and frowned tightly.

Yu Huan disappeared using teleportation within a few steps. Ruan Qiuping had no choice but to use teleportation to come to Jishen Mansion because he could no longer follow him.

However, Yu Huan cast an enchantment on the Jishen Mansion, Ruan Qiuping was in a state of confusion, and the spells he used made mistakes again and again, so he couldn't get in anyway.

About 10 minutes later, the fairy servant of Jishen Mansion opened the door and came out. Through a barrier, he handed Ruan Qiuping a Qiankun bag: "Ruan Xianjun, here is everything you brought when you came. I'll give it back to you, and... you, you don't have to break through the barrier anymore, after the god gave me this universe bag, he left, and I don't know where he went."

A cave... Yu Huan must be in a cave!

Ruan Qiuping clenched the Qiankun bag in his hand, and immediately teleported to the cave.

Sure enough, the cave has also changed.

Another layer of enchantment was added outside the cave, which was thicker than the layer of Jishen Mansion.

Yu Huan was indeed inside.

Ruan Qiuping patted the barrier, and called Yu Huan's name: "Yu Huan, Yu Huan, come out, I have something to tell you."

But no one answered.

Ruan Qiuping suddenly became terrified, and his words became incoherent: "Yu Huan... Yu Huan, please don't ignore me, please, can you see me..."

"...Yu Huan, can you stop doing this? Yu Huan, don't miss me, I know I was wrong, can you... can you not destroy your marriage registration..."

But no matter what he said, the people inside remained silent.

Ruan Qiuping's voice also gradually lowered. He leaned on the barrier and begged in a low voice: "Yu Huan, if you hate me, you can cancel your marriage with me, but can you just ignore me?"

"I know, I know where I was wrong, and I will never make such a mistake again... I will never tell you a lie again... I won't lie to you again, I won't lie to you again, I won't hurt you again. You can be angry with me, you can hit me, you can scold me, but can you come out and see me?"

"I know I shouldn't lie to you, but... my thoughts are too superficial, I just want to make you happy..." Ruan Qiuping's face was so pale that there was no blood, and his voice was low and hoarse, "I'm too stupid, You are too stupid to do such a thing, and I don’t know what to do. You suffered a lot because of me in the mortal world. You said in your suicide note that I don’t love you, so I want you to come back now. Once in the sky, I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes again and let you go through the pain that you have experienced in the mortal world, so I lied to you...saying that I like you, that I can pick the love fruit, when I say these words, you It looks very happy, I see you smiling, and I feel satisfied in my heart, so I can't help but continue to lie to you... But now I really know that I was wrong, I don't ask you to forgive me, I..."

Ruan Qiuping's voice trembled slightly: "...I just hope that you can see me again, I just hope that you don't ignore me, I just hope...I just hope...you don't sever ties with me, Yu Huan , don't want me, okay..."

The enchantment was empty and silent, and there was no sound.

Ruan Qiuping gritted his teeth suddenly, and began to use spells to forcibly break the barrier.

Once, twice, three times.

His body became exhausted, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Clap."

There was a sound of broken glass, and the barrier opened.

Yu Huan casually waved the enchantment, and it took Ruan Qiuping more than 20 minutes to break it.

Ruan Qiuping's heart beat violently, and he immediately ran into the cave.

But the moment he walked in, he felt that the sweat all over his body had cooled down.

——All the furniture in the cave was completely emptied, leaving only the flat and empty ground and walls.

Even the Eternal Day Technique, which was permanently used here, was withdrawn by Yu Huan.

This secret place that belonged only to the two of them, this cave that was once filled with memories of their time together, this "home" where he took care of Yu Huan for 81 days day and night, has become dark and empty.

A gust of cold wind blew in from the broken barrier, making people chill all over.

Ruan Qiuping stood at a loss in the empty cave like this, feeling as if a huge hole had been torn in his heart.

A kind of solid pain started from the heart, and soon spread all over the body.Every breath involved this kind of pain, and even the chest was throbbing with pain.

He suddenly realized that he had lost something important.

And never come back.

Ruan Qiuping stood in this empty cave for a long time, suddenly what Yu Huan said to him flashed in his mind again.

Yu Huan said that he would go with him to destroy the marriage registration tomorrow, and accept the punishment of Tianlei alone.

……no.

He screwed things up because he did the wrong thing.It was because he couldn't pick the lover fruit, because he couldn't bring Yu Huan selfish, exclusive, passionate and unique love.

He should also bear the thunder that day.

Ruan Qiuping turned around, walked out of the cave step by step, and returned home.

The family just had lunch, Ruan Dongdong was happily swinging there, Ruan Shengfeng was sitting on the dream chair and reading an ancient book, Xia Fushui was counting the dowry over and over again.

Seeing Ruan Qiuping came back, they were a little surprised: "Qiuping, why are you back? Didn't you move to Jishen Mansion yesterday?"

It seems that Yu Huan has not told them about the cancellation of the wedding.

Ruan Qiuping: "I forgot something, come back and get it."

Ruan Qiuping held on to the escalator, one step at a time, when Xia Fushui suddenly shouted downstairs: "...Qiuping, although you are married, you have moved out. But you are still from the Ruan family. Come back whenever you want in the future, then come back."

Ruan Qiuping turned his head and smiled at Xia Fushui: "Well, I know, I will come back often."

Ruan Qiuping sat in the room for a while, then picked up a pen and paper to leave a letter to his parents.

But I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't know what to leave.

In the end, I just wrote a line.

"I'm out to play, don't look for me."

He put the letter in the drawer, then took out the universe bag, and found the mask that Yu Huan had bought for him.

Just as Ruan Qiuping was about to put on the mask, the door creaked, and then Ruan Dongdong ran over.

"Brother!" Ruan Dongdong said crisply, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Ruan Qiuping grinned and smiled brightly at her: "Brother is fine, what's the matter?"

"Mom and Dad said you are in a bad mood, let me come and see you." Ruan Dongdong looked at Ruan Qiuping with a pair of black and white eyes, his face was full of curiosity, "Why is brother in a bad mood?"

Ruan Qiuping's voice was still calm: "My brother is moving away, so I don't want to be willing to bang."

Ruan Dongdong stretched out his arms, with an innocent smile on his face: "Then brother, do you want to hug me? Mom said you can hug brother."

Ruan Qiuping's lips moved: "...is it okay?"

"Yes, mother said you can hug!" Ruan Dongdong said seriously.

Ruan Qiuping exhaled, but even his breath was trembling. He closed his eyes, stretched out his arms, and hugged Ruan Dongdong tightly in his arms.

His nose was sore and his eye sockets became warm. He wanted to cry, but he held back.

He let go of Ruan Dongdong, his eyes were flushed, but there was still a smile on his face: "Thank you Dongdong, brother is not sad at all now."

He patted Ruan Dongdong's head and said, "Dongdong, my brother will leave home in the future, Dongdong should be nicer to his parents, be more obedient, don't make them angry, and grow up quickly, you know?"

"Know it!"

Ruan Dongdong giggled happily.

Ruan Qiuping looked at Ruan Dongdong and suddenly thought:

It turned out that there were good things going on today, but he didn't want to write about it.

After Ruan Qiuping left home, he took the mask to the trading forest. He bought a pair of teleportation charms and a coffin.

The coffin seller stared at his mask curiously: "Did someone die in the family? But I haven't heard of anyone passing away in the fairy world during this time."

Ruan Qiuping: "Sell it?"

"Sell, sell, sell."

Ruan Qiuping dug a hole next to the apple tree in the back mountain, and put the coffin in it.

Ruan Qiuping originally wanted to dig through this land so that Yu Huan's ashes from the mortal world would be buried together with himself, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Yu Huan would not want to, so he didn't open it up, and buried his own coffin in the same place. It was placed next to the urn through a layer of soil.

After putting the coffin in, Ruan Qiuping pasted one of the teleportation symbols on the coffin, and then watered the apple tree.

After doing all this, he went to the God of Rites.

Lishen looked shocked: "Didn't you think that the wedding date was too late a few days ago, so you must let me mention your date in advance. Why are you going to dissolve your marriage with Jishen today?"

Ruan Qiuping said, "I'm going to dissolve my marriage right now, what should I do?"

"You are engaged by the Heavenly Marriage Stone, you just need to tear up the wedding book in front of the Heavenly Marriage Stone, you don't need to ask me to do anything... But... But have you really thought it through? If you do this, Those 49 thunderbolts are probably capable of killing your bones."

"Thank you." Ruan Qiuping turned his head and prepared to leave.

"Hey, don't go, you don't discuss with Jishen! I think you are not in the right state, why don't you calm down first, and I will contact Jishen..."

"We discussed it, and it was his proposal to dissolve the marriage." Ruan Qiuping said.

Li Shen opened his mouth and paused, not knowing what to do.

The Heavenly Marriage Stone is also in Duanqing Mountain.

Ruan Qiuping actually couldn't understand, this Duanqing Mountain, the pronunciation is the same as "duanqing", but why the heavenly marriage stone, lover's fruit...all the things related to love are on this mountain.

As soon as Ruan Qiuping stood in front of the wedding stone, the names of Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan flashed on the wedding stone.

Ruan Qiuping looked up at the sky, it was getting dark.

He took out the wedding book, lowered his eyes, and tore the wedding book to pieces little by little in front of the Heavenly Marriage Stone.

The whole sky turned completely dark in an instant, and a large swath of dark clouds gathered above Ruan Qiuping's head, covering the sky and covering the sun, and covering him in darkness.

At the same time, a cold and solemn voice came from the sky: "Ruan Qiuping, you tore up your marriage book in front of the wedding stone? But you decided to receive punishment?"

Ruan Qiuping had never been hit by a sky thunder, and it was the first time he knew that the sky thunder would ask such a question before striking someone.

He nodded and said, "Yes."

That voice didn't have too much nonsense with him. As soon as Ruan Qiuping finished speaking, a bolt of lightning illuminated the whole world, and a thunderbolt fell from the top of his head unexpectedly. The pain that could be regarded as crushing bones penetrated from the top of the head to the spine, and the severe pain knocked him to his knees on the ground, almost passing out.

...that was a thunderstorm.

Ruan Qiuping stood up again, and cast a layer of magic on himself.

Ruan Qiuping thought that it would be good if the spell he cast with all his strength could withstand two thunderbolts, but he did not expect to survive nine thunderbolts.

It turned out that his magic skills had really improved a lot. Even if he was not affected by the thunder today, he might have to kill himself before conferring the gods in a short time.

Ruan Qiuping spat out a mouthful of blood with a smile.

His whole life is useless and useless, he can't do anything well, and it's useless to linger on for a while, just annoying people out of thin air... He was right to suffer this thunder today.

When the No.11 thunder came down, the spell barrier that Ruan Qiuping cast with all his strength was also completely shattered. That day the thunder struck his head again, and he was instantly knocked down to the ground, unable to climb any more. stand up.

Ruan Qiuping barely opened his eyes, and suddenly found a huge rock not far from him.

He blinked slowly, and didn't know what he was thinking, but stretched out his hand in a daze, and covered his entire palm on the rock.

His mind was in chaos. At this moment, he himself didn't know what he was praying for, what he was looking forward to.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

1 minute passed, the miracle did not happen.

There is no lover fruit growing here.

Ruan Qiuping laughed at himself.

What the hell is he fantasizing about?

If you know the result clearly, why don't you give up?

No.12 thunder struck down, Ruan Qiuping's body convulsed, and soon passed out.

But when the No.13 thunder struck, he was awakened by the pain again.

He glanced at the still empty side of the rock, his ears were buzzing constantly, but his mind was full of words he had heard.

Si Ming said he had no feelings.

Yu Huan said that he didn't love him.

The young Yu Huan held his hand, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and said, "You want to like me more, the kind that doesn't want to give me up to others at all."

Ruan Qiuping is not a fool, he knows that he actually has feelings for Yu Huan.

But others say, that is not love.

If the lover does not recognize his love.

Yu Huan also didn't admit his love.

They said his emotions were not possessive enough, not strong enough, not passionate enough, not selfish enough.

But... how could he be selfish?He is a god of mildew, he is a disaster, what qualifications does he have to fall in love with someone desperately and passionately?

Besides, he already knew that he was going to die.

Could it be that he, a dying person, wants to tell Yu Huan, you have to love me forever and never fall in love with anyone else?

Why?

Why should he have the only, strong, unswerving love until death?

...how is he worthy of it.

The speed of the lightning strikes seems to have accelerated a bit.

Ruan Qiuping was still counting at first, but after counting, he became a little lost.

He was in a chaotic state, and even his sense of pain became dull. His mouth was filled with the smell of blood like rust, but his nose could only smell the smell of his own body scorched by lightning.

The shrill screams gradually turned into weak screams.

Until the end, he couldn't make a sound anymore.

After the last lightning strike, Ruan Qiuping couldn't even twitch under stress.

Like a pool of carrion, there was no movement for a long time.

The teleportation talisman on his body suddenly glowed.

next moment.

In front of the Heavenly Marriage Stone, the blood-soaked, unlucky immortal has long since disappeared.

Only under the apple tree in the back mountain, next to the urn, and in the coffin box, there was a half-dead corpse.

Ruan Qiuping finally closed his eyes in his dark coffin and lost all consciousness.

The entire heaven suddenly began to rain cats and dogs again.

In front of the Heavenly Marriage Stone, another bolt of lightning struck down.

The thunder didn't hit anyone else, it just hit the huge rock that Ruan Qiuping touched just now.

There was only the sound of a mountain rock cracking, and the cold rock was smashed to pieces by the lightning.

Even the ground under this rock was split into a crack. The crack was about ten meters long and twenty centimeters wide.

In this huge crack, there are countless lover fruits growing densely.

They huddled their bodies and hid secretly under the boulders and in the soil.

It wasn't until the thunder split all the cover that they tentatively and cautiously stretched their bodies, raised their heads, and looked at the sky where the rain was pouring.

This piece of lover fruit is the most timid and cowardly lover fruit in Duanqing Mountain, but the heavy rain can't destroy them at all.

It's just that no one knows.
