Zhou Ziqiu suddenly opened his eyes, the surroundings were dark and quiet, only the beating of his heart, like a drum, was transmitted to his ears along the bones.

Recently, I always dream about things that happened a long time ago, as if I have experienced those past events again, and the words and actions in the dreams are so vivid.

She lay down for a long time before her heartbeat stabilized. At the same time, the dawn light penetrated the gauze curtains, illuminating the outlines of the furnishings in the room. She couldn't sleep anymore, so she looked at the light and shadow on the ground, watching the light and shadow gradually turn orange Bright.

Last night, I followed Ye Youqing out of the city for shopping ten miles away, and I didn't return all night. Now the weather is a bit cold. Although I am covered with a quilt, I can still feel the lonely cold.

The door suddenly opened with a creak, and a tall figure covered with frost crept in, took off his cold coat in the main room, and then entered the bedroom.

Shili wanted to lie down beside her while Zhou Ziqiu was still awake, but as soon as he sneaked closer to the bed, he met the eyes of the phoenix.

Shili was silent for a while, put down the hand that was stealing the quilt, and said awkwardly, "Are you awake?"

Zhou Ziqiu hummed, she stretched out her hand from under the quilt, and stretched it ten miles with heat.

"My hands are cold." Shili put her hands behind her back, but Zhou Ziqiu still held them relentlessly, her fingertips were soft and greasy, and the tiredness in the corners of her eyes showed that she had not slept peacefully last night.

Shili had no choice but to compromise, and took her fingers. Zhou Ziqiu suddenly sat up with his strength, hugged Shili's waist, and pressed his face against her abdomen.

Zhou Ziqiu had always been so clingy since he lost his memory, and Shili was used to it, so he sat down on his knees and pulled the quilt around her to prevent her from catching a cold.

"Are you scared?" Shili asked softly.

She always had some nightmares, and sometimes she was so frightened that she cried in her dreams, and when she woke up and waited for Shili to ask, she said she didn't remember.

Zhou Ziqiu paused, then nodded.

"You have to remember that everything in your dream is fake, and if you dream about it in the future, just tell yourself in it." Shili patted her on the back.

A strange emotion flashed across Zhou Ziqiu's eyes, but she couldn't see it for a distance with her eyelashes down.

"By the way, Xiaoqing said that there is a winter temple fair by the Huaihe River today, which is very lively. She said that you haven't gone out for a few days, so why not take this opportunity and go for a walk?" Shili said.

"I don't..." Zhou Ziqiu said halfway, then changed his tone, "Okay."

She remembered that in order to accompany her, Shili hadn't gone out for a long time.

Sure enough, after hearing her reply, Shili seemed to be much happier, and smiled and pushed her back to the bed: "Then you rest a little longer, and I'll ask Chunhong to boil hot water."

Watching Shili pick up the coat that he had just taken off and walk away quickly, Zhou Ziqiu's eyes softened a little.

Ye Youqing was right, this temple fair was indeed lively, winding along the banks of the Huaihe River, rubbing shoulders so hard that there was no end in sight, and the four of them were crowded in the crowd, and they couldn't feel the cool breeze of early winter.

Fortunately, they held her hand all the way for ten miles, so even though there were many people, she didn't feel uncomfortable.

Ye Youqing and Ci Ke walked in front of them, and Ci Ke found everything new, so he wandered around and disappeared, and Ye Youqing finally found him out of the crowd.

When he returned to Zhou Ziqiu's side again, Ye Youqing had a handful of miscellaneous things in his arms.

"Ci Ke, why did you buy a flower pot!" Ye Youqing looked down, dumbfounded.

"One was smashed yesterday, so of course it has to be repaired." Ci Ke replied seriously.

Different from the vitality of the two young people, Zhou Ziqiu is not interested in the dazzling array of objects around him, but it is also a pleasure for others to be happy, so he also has a smile on his face.

Shili looked at her and held her hand even tighter.

When they walked to an open space where people were scattered, the four of them were stopped by an old Taoist who squinted his eyes. When the old Taoist saw the four girls, he suddenly regained his spirits and stopped in front of him for a while.

"It's amazing, but it's just fortune-telling." Ye Youqing waved his hand to block people away, but heard the old Taoist hurriedly said: "No, no, fortune-telling also has Taoism, I am a serious practitioner in the Taoist temple of Mount Emei Compared with those who deceived and deceived Taoist disciples, they can be said to be one in the sky and one in the bottom of the earth!"

Ye Youqing saw that he couldn't drive him away, so he simply became playful, took out the broken silver from his sleeve, and shook it in front of the old Taoist.

"Then tell me about the relationship between me and this girl in the future? If you can figure it out, I will give you the money."

The old Taoist stared at Suiyin, his eyes were bright, he put away his blackened teeth, examined his face and palm lines pretending to be profound, and then said confidently: "Both of you are blessed with open heavens and well-proportioned facial features. People. But according to the palmistry, this girl's life is in a catastrophe, but she can be rescued by a destined person. Once the catastrophe is over, the future will be smooth."

"If the old man sees it right, you are the girl's predestined relationship, and the fate of the predestined people will be connected in the future, and they must be inseparable."

Ye Youqing and Ci Ke looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised, but regardless of whether this old way of deceiving people was true or not, Ye Youqing felt relieved after hearing the last sentence, so he threw the broken silver into his hand.

The old Taoist squeezed the money with a happy smile, and then turned to Zhou Ziqiu: "These two girls..."

Shili saw that Zhou Ziqiu seemed to be interested, so he also took out the broken silver and motioned to the old Taoist to say.

The old Taoist was even more delighted, and he opened his mouth and said: "You are not from the Central Plains. Your destiny is similar to that of the last girl. You have experienced disasters, and now you have crossed over by yourself. But..."

"But what? Say." Shili crossed his arms, scaring the old man for a moment.

"However, there seems to be a burden in the girl's life. If you throw it away, you will be safe, but if..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Youqing on the side covered his mouth and stuffed the rest of the words back into his throat: "Smelly Taoist priest, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Ci Ke on the side hurriedly went to look at Zhou Ziqiu, only to see that the blood on Zhou Ziqiu's cheeks faded in an instant, his phoenix eyes were slightly opened, and his lips moved.

"Ziqiu..." Shili said quickly, but Zhou Ziqiu had already pulled his hand out of her palm at some point, and suddenly turned around and ran into the crowded crowd.

"Auntie!" Ci Ke yelled anxiously, and together with Shi Li hurriedly chased into the crowd, the corners of their clothes were quickly submerged and they could not be seen.

Ye Youqing took two steps and then turned back, angrily scolded "Old Liar" at the frightened old Taoist, then snatched the broken silver from him with his hands, and turned to chase.

Zhou Ziqiu didn't know why she ran away, but it was because the man's words seemed to pull out all the thoughts she didn't want to face, and spread them out in front of everyone.

The recent nightmares for many days have made her panic every day, and now she is like a headless chicken, panicking and slamming her head. When she wakes up, she finds herself standing at the ferry, with the water overflowing the steps under her feet. The river water continued to scour the ground, making a rushing sound.

Panting continuously, she squatted down slowly, letting the river water wet her skirt and soak her cloth boots. The cold water touched her skin, causing goose bumps all over her body.

The sound of kicking footsteps behind her was getting closer, and Ci Ke suddenly knelt down beside her, reaching out to wrap her in his arms.

Ci Ke seemed to be terrified, and his words were crying: "Auntie..."

Zhou Ziqiu put her hands in the crook of Ci Ke's arms and rubbed them lightly, indicating that she was fine. She could feel Shi Li standing not far behind, staring silently.

Shili always loves to stare at her like this, and it hasn't changed for more than ten years.

After an unknown period of time, Ci Ke was pulled up by someone, probably Ye Youqing coaxed her away, and the breath beside her changed, very familiar.

"Ziqiu." Shili whispered, she squatted down with her, quietly listening to the rise and fall of the river tide, "Did you remember?"

Zhou Ziqiu's five fingers in the water stopped moving. The water was so cold that her hands were almost so cold that she lost consciousness.

Shili dipped his palm into the water, picked up Zhou Ziqiu's hand, held it in his palm, and then covered it with the other hand.

"So you already knew." Zhou Ziqiu smiled, and she sat down when she was tired from squatting, ignoring the dampness under her body, "You have tried your best to hide it from me and not tell me what happened in those few years, but the sky is unfair , I still remember little by little.”

"I thought I'd be free forever, but I didn't die. I thought I'd never remember that filthy life, but they came to my mind again and I..."

Zhou Ziqiu let out a sneer and closed his eyes: "I'm in a mess."

Shili Dai frowned, and she stretched out her hand to brush away the messy hair on Zhou Ziqiu's forehead.

"Xiaoqing told me that the reason why you forget is because you were too emotional and couldn't bear it for a while. It’s because you know you can take it now.”

"You have successfully avenged yourself. They have not defeated you for more than ten years, and now they can't." Shili's words were a little agitated, and she suddenly half-kneeled in front of Zhou Ziqiu, and lifted her tear-stained face.

"I'm not qualified to say these things, because you are a thousand times braver than me." Shili slowed down, "But I can't help you with anything..."

I don't know if it was the wind or because of tears, the tip of Zhou Ziqiu's nose and the sockets of his eyes were stained red, and those eyes were like mirrors, showing reflections ten miles away.

"No." Zhou Ziqiu said, "If it wasn't for me, your family wouldn't be ruined."

"I caused you." Zhou Ziqiu's shoulders trembled, and he closed his eyes to blink away the tears.

"So I dare not say I remember, Xiao Shi." Zhou Ziqiu sniffed, then raised his eyes, "I'm afraid."

In the past few years that she can't remember, like her young self, she fell in love with that girl in the sea of ​​flowers with all her eyes.

"So I lied to you." Zhou Ziqiu said.

"I'm afraid you're just here to take care of a sick me, and I'm afraid you'll leave when I'm well."

The beauty was crying in the bleak autumn wind, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing water, blowing away the tears that hadn't touched the ground.

Shili opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just leaned over slightly and kissed those bright red lips, which were salty from tears, mixed with the unique cool smell of the river.

Zhou Ziqiu didn't refuse or dodge, she even put her arms around Shili's neck, and buried herself more in her arms, no longer the arms of the girl in her dream, but the warm arms of an adult woman.

"I won't go. I dared to love you when I was 15 years old, and now no one can stop us, why would I give up?"

"Don't listen to that old crook's lies."

"I will lead you away from now on, and I will never let you go." Shili's eyes were bloodshot, "Shall we go home?"

Zhou Ziqiu didn't speak, but buried his face in her neck and remained motionless. Shili knew what she meant, so he immediately picked her up and strode ashore.

Their small courtyard was covered with dead leaves, and the sleeves of their clothes fluttered in waves, and they walked in the door, blocking the cold wind outside the house.

In the years since Zhou Ziqiu lost his memory, she only dared to stand by her side, and never really got close to her, worrying about making her afraid.

Zhou Ziqiu lay back on the bed, pulled Shili's skirt, and kissed the corners of her mouth and cheek tenderly. It was cold outside, but the room was as warm as spring.

She is no longer young, but she is not half as beautiful, her lotus arms are as delicate as jade, and her arms are ten miles away.

"Xiao Shi..." She softly called her name, asking her to come and kiss her.

Shili pulled down the curtain with one hand, untied the hair with the other hand, and looked at Zhou Ziqiu passionately. They were not the girls back then, but a pair of lovers who had been in love for more than ten years, and they knew each other as well as they knew themselves.

In the veil, the pain and miss of these years are completely left behind.

"Xiao Shi..." Zhou Ziqiu's words began to become intermittent, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only breathing.

Those treacherous and terrifying dreams in her head were thrown out of the sky at this moment, and her world was only filled with joy, and she had no time to recall it, nor did she want to recall it.

Shili is right, nothing can defeat her.

The joy of the waves engulfed her, the wind outside the window made her blush, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes into her dark black hair.

Zhou Ziqiu hugged Shili's waist tightly, turned over on her body, and stroked that beautiful face with his hands in joy.

"I miss you," she mouthed.

She really missed her, in the past jasper years, in the helpless days of ups and downs, in those dark years of seeking revenge.

For the rest of my life I don't know how long.
