Fate [Donglun Tong Humanities]

Q7 ：

Back in Wang Dongcheng's room, Aaron Yan looked at his sleeping state, and decided not to tell him what happened just now.After all, it may be my own illusion. The sky is so dark, and the faint moonlight may make me wrong.

Aaron Yan lay on the edge of the bed, staring at Wang Dongcheng's sleeping face, his eyes softened.Since falling on him, he has looked at Wang Dongcheng like this every night, because ghosts don't need sleep.At first, I stared at Wang Dongcheng because I had nothing to do, but it gradually became a habit that I couldn't get rid of.When he sank into the darkness, I could just watch him quietly, notice the slight trembling of his eyelashes, and hear his deep and shallow breathing.The whole world seemed to disappear, and only Wang Dongcheng was in his eyes.

"Wang Dongcheng, I really miss it, I can't restrain my feelings..."

It fell softly, and the world fell silent.

During breakfast, Wang Dongcheng miraculously took the initiative to mention his marriage with Xu Yan: "Mother, have you chosen a date for getting married?"

"Not yet. The master said that there are no good days recently, so we have to wait." Although Mrs. Wang was surprised that her son had taken the initiative to mention the marriage, she didn't ask any more questions.

"Actually, the master doesn't have to decide the day, as long as we like it." Wang Dongcheng answered naturally.

Madam Wang put down her chopsticks and looked at Wang Dongcheng strangely.His eyes seemed to see through him, which made Wang Dongcheng feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Dongdong, are you awake?" Mrs. Wang asked for a long time.

"Otherwise?" Wang Dongcheng asked amusedly, "Mother, what's the matter? Why do you say that?"

"Didn't you disagree with this marriage yesterday? Why are you in such a hurry today?"

Wang Dongcheng rubbed his nose with a dry smile, and said, "Have you figured it out, how could I hesitate for such a good person like Miss Xu? So I think we should get married as soon as possible, I still have so many opponents."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang laughed in satisfaction. She patted the back of Wang Dongcheng's hand and said, "Dongdong, if you think so, mother can rest assured. Your marriage with Yanyan, mother will take care of it!"

"Thank you, mother." Wang Dongcheng said with a smile and lowered his head to eat.It's just that the smile collapsed the moment the originally radiant face lowered its head.

Wang Dongcheng walked to the side of the small river and quietly looked at the pond full of blooming lotus.Wisps of lotus fragrance penetrated into his nostrils, but he didn't see any expression of comfort.

What she said this morning that she wanted to marry Xu Yan as soon as possible was a lie.Yes, he was lying.The real thought is still that she doesn't want to marry Xu Yan.But the reason for saying that may only be known to him.

"Aha, I finally found you. I've been looking for you for a long time." Yan Yalun suddenly appeared from behind Wang Dongcheng, and said with a smile.

Wang Dongcheng smiled bitterly when he saw Aaron Yan's innocent and almost transparent smile, did he really intend to keep this secret forever?But it's okay, to put it bluntly, it's not easy for two people to face each other.

In fact, when Aaron Yan returned to Wang Dongcheng's room last night, Wang Dongcheng was not asleep.When Aaron Yan was not there, Wang Dongcheng was a little worried but he didn't go out to look for him. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed, he immediately lay back on the bed and pretended to be asleep.Then I felt Aaron Yan lying on the side of the bed, and then I heard what he said.

Wang Dongcheng is not very slow about emotional matters, so he will know what's going on as soon as he hears it.At that time, his mind was in a mess, and he fell asleep in a daze amidst the entanglement.When I woke up this morning, I decided to complete the marriage with Xu Yan immediately.

"Is something wrong?"

"It's fine, I'm just not used to seeing you." Aaron Yan kicked the stones beside his feet.

"I plan to marry Xu Yan."

The stone at the foot rolled into the lake and sank to the bottom of the lake with a plop, leaving only small ripples rippling around.And Aaron Yan felt as if he had smashed a large stone into his heart, and he didn't even have time to bleed.

"...Really? You... figured it out?" Aaron Yan suddenly felt his throat was on fire, and his mouth was so sticky that he couldn't open it.

Seeing Aaron Yan's pale face, Wang Dongcheng had no choice but to reply, "Yes, I figured it out. Why don't I marry such a good girl? Don't you think so?"

"Yes... yes." Aaron Yan replied with a helpless smile.And why his eyes seem to have blurred focus, everything in his vision has become blurred.

"But you don't have to be disappointed, I will continue to help you track down your matter." Wang Dongcheng patted Yan Yalun on the shoulder, then turned and left the small river.

"……Um."

After several seconds, Aaron Yan answered.It's just that that person has already gone far.

--evening--

"Dongdong, Uncle Xu and I think that the middle of next month will be better. What do you think?" Mrs. Wang asked Wang Dongcheng with a smile on her face while holding a piece of paper that had been scribbled and altered.

"Well, very good." Wang Dongcheng also answered Mrs. Wang with a smile.

"You kid, after you get married, you have to treat people well, you know? Your mother is on the side of the daughter-in-law." Mrs. Wang warned Wang Dongcheng.

"Oh, mother, I know. I will treat Miss Xu well. Don't worry about it so much."

"That's about the same. By the way..."

Just when Mrs. Wang was about to say something, a servant ran to Wang Dongcheng and said, "Master, that old man said he wanted to see you last time."

After hearing this, Wang Dongcheng said: "Take him to the guest room and wait, I'll go later." Then he said to Mrs. Wang: "Mother, I have something to take care of, I'll talk about it later."

After running to the room and calling Aaron Yan, the two walked towards the guest room.

"Old man, what's the matter this time?" Wang Dongcheng asked after pouring a cup of tea for the old man.

"My old lady said, she seems to have remembered something."

Wang Dongcheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you think of this time?"

"This time it's a conversation. She said she vaguely remembered something."

"Then tell me quickly."

"It seems that I heard the woman say, 'Drag it from such a far place without leaving any traces', and someone else replied, 'No, just make up another one'..."

"One more thing?" Wang Dongcheng asked after the old man stopped.

The old man looked embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly: "Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry. It's not easy for the old lady to remember so much."

Wang Dongcheng showed a slightly disappointed face, but no matter how disappointed, this feeling was not as strong as Yan Yalun could feel.

"It doesn't matter, you have done your best. We are sorry for asking you so much." Wang Dongcheng took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and stuffed them into the old man's hand and said, "It's not easy for you to live. Take these silver Bar."

"This...how can you be so embarrassed? I have already collected so much money from Mr. Wang, and I can't take it anymore." The old man evaded.

"Old man, just take it." Wang Dongcheng resolutely withdrew his hand, and the old man could only collect the money.

"Thank you Mr. Wang, if my old lady still thinks of something, I will come and tell you." The old man said gratefully, his hands holding the money were shaking.

"Then it will be hard for you." Wang Dongcheng finished speaking, and glanced at Yan Yalun who was standing aside.When will this mystery be solved?Until now, it can only be confirmed that Aaron Yan did not die in the grove, but was dragged there.What does the other sentence "make up one more" mean?

It really is a chain of links, Aaron Yan's death is really not easy.

After seeing off the old man, the two returned to the room.Aaron Yan lay on his back on the bed, sighed and said, "It's really troublesome for me to die."

"Yeah, I actually took care of such a troublesome thing." Wang Dongcheng also sighed.

After a few seconds of silence, Aaron Yan said, "Why don't we just let it go? I'd better follow Hei Wuchang back to the Underworld, it's still more suitable for me."

"Hey, don't you just believe me when I say that?" Wang Dongcheng said with a smile.

"No, are you troublesome?"

Wang Dongcheng sat next to Yan Yalun, "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely investigate this matter, and I won't go back on my word, okay?"

Aaron Yan sat up straight and stared at Wang Dongcheng.

"Really, I didn't lie to you." Wang Dongcheng shrugged, "Besides, I think it's pretty good after the investigation. I really want to know what the truth is."

"You really think so?" Aaron Yan said expressionlessly.

"Yes." Wang Dongcheng nodded.

"...Okay, I'll stay here." Aaron Yan's attitude immediately changed after receiving the affirmation, and his bitter face just now became brighter in an instant.

"Let's talk about the information we have now." Wang Dongcheng said and took out a pen and paper.

"Hmm." Aaron Yan walked to him, "First, I definitely fell into the water, and maybe I died because of it. Second, my body was transported to the small woods to the west. Third, there are four criminals, one woman and three men."

Wang Dongcheng quickly finished writing and added: "Fourth, those people seem to be gathering something."

"Hmm... can you get any clues?" Aaron Yan asked after a moment of thought.

Wang Dongcheng frowned, bit his lip for a moment and then let go, saying: "I think we need to go to the grove again, maybe we missed something."
