no puppet

After half a stick of incense, a rare and strong aroma of desserts wafted out of the usually deserted cabin.

Rong Shilian brought sweet cakes to Xie Hengyan, as well as some freshly made and steamed fruit soup, goat's milk cake, etc., and brought them out one by one, and put them on the table, like a bunch of flowers.

But Xie Hengyan didn't have much appetite, the two sat face to face at the table, Rong Shilian called him to eat, he just made fun of it, ate half a piece of cake, and then asked: "... What did you come to me for?"

"It's nothing. I heard them talking at noon, and they talked about you two... going to sea." Rong Shilian picked up a piece of milk cake and said casually.

Xie Hengyan said softly: "If you want to persuade me to allow Yinzhu to stay... you should give up this idea, it's impossible."

Rong Shilian said, "No."

Xie Hengyan lazily leaned back to the table, and said listlessly: "Anyway, there is nothing good to say, and it's not that I don't know. You say you want to help him, but if you insist on doing this, you are actually hurting him."

Rong Shilian said: "Little monster, of course I understand that if ordinary people stay on this island, it won't take a few years for them to escape the inevitable result of death."

Xie Hengyan: "Since you know everything, what else is there to say?"

Rong Shilian frowned and said, "I just want to come here and ask, how bad is your health... Is it true that you can't go near the sea at all?"

Xie Hengyan's expression froze for a moment, then he turned his face slightly away, and asked nonchalantly: "...Why are you asking this?"

Rong Shilian said: "Don't you have a quarrel with Yinzhen, and you are reluctant to leave?"

"How is it possible?" Xie Hengyan turned around and said in a daze, "This matter can kill people, even if I am messing around, there is a limit to say the least, and I won't be able to distinguish between right and wrong!"

Rong Shilian: "Then you..."

"I was born with a wooden body, which is very different from your human beings. Now that the seal of karma has been seriously hindered, I can't go to sea naturally... Do you think that I will make fun of this kind of thing with Yin?" Xie Hengyan asked in surprise.

Rong Shilian hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant..."

Xie Hengyan was a little unhappy, and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Rong Shilian slowed down his voice, and said in a low voice: "Little monster, I see that you are deeply in love with Yin Zong, but he doesn't understand your thoughts, and when you are clearly about to part, you are unhappy because of this matter... It really shouldn't be!"

"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Xie Hengyan frowned, "Even if he is knocked out, he must drag Yin Chun onto the boat, whether he likes it or not? It's important to save the dog's life!"

"Why don't you go with him?" Rong Shilian said out of nowhere.

"...Me?" Xie Hengyan stared and said, "Have I already said that, with my body, it is impossible for me to go to sea...how can I go with him?"

Rong Shilian said: "You haven't tried it, so how do you know if it will work or not? Besides, by then, he will be the only one left on board...whether he can break through the barrier is a problem, won't you worry about him?"

Xie Hengyan's eyes turned red: "Worried, why not? I'm just afraid that he won't be able to get out of the barrier. If he is trapped in the sea, he can't get out and come back. It's better to stay in the village."

Rong Shilian got up suddenly, pressed the puppet's shoulders, and Youyou said seriously: "Little monster, I didn't mean you. Judging from your wooden body, I guess it won't last long. Instead of staying on the island and suffering farewells The pain of lovesickness, why not take the opportunity to fight it out and go to sea to try it out?"

"What are you trying...I can't try it. As soon as I go out, no one is there, so what else can I try with him?" Xie Hengyan sat back on the bed with her knees hugged, looking very frustrated, "...I don't want to accompany you If you can't accompany him, you can't accompany him, I blame myself for being unlucky, I won't live until then."

"Little monster, to be honest, I'm the same as you." Rong Shilian sat down, put one hand on his shoulder, and said earnestly, "I've known Brother Na for quite a few years now. Say To be honest, ever since I got here in trouble, I haven't been looking forward to leaving for a moment... In reality, no one is willing to make such a move. Until today, I have finally been looking forward to this opportunity——From your point of view, should I go or leave? Won't you go?"

Xie Hengyan didn't know what to say, but judging from this matter alone, it was rare for him and Rong Shilian to resonate with each other.But for some reason, he always felt that Rong Shilian still had some other thoughts. The two of them were not in the same state of mind, so whenever Xie Hengyan faced her, he seemed somewhat embarrassed.

"I think Sister Tangshui...Although she is stubborn most of the time, she is also very assertive and rarely a firm person." Xie Hengyan said, "Perhaps this is the only way to not be swayed by other people's thoughts."

Rong Shilian smiled and said, "Is that so?"

Xie Hengyan nodded and said: "Yes, I believe Sister Tangshui, as long as she tells her herself, she will definitely leave the island and go to sea. If there are any difficulties on the boat in the future, Yin Chun will have to be taken care of by her sister."

Rong Shilian asked again: "Are you serious? You are so worried that you won't go out to sea with him until you die?"

Xie Hengyan only said: "This is not a question of my willingness or not."

"Okay." Rong Shilian sighed, and finally shook his head helplessly, "It seems that you have made up your mind, and it is useless for me to persuade you any more. Anyway, I have nothing to say, little monster, there are still countless variables in the future, as long as you Remember your decision, and don't regret it because of it."

Xie Hengyan was taken aback for a moment, and Fang smiled wryly, "...I don't regret it."

It was almost dark before Yin Chun hurried home.

When he came back, he was holding a bucket of fresh fish and shrimp in his hand, but not long after he entered the door, Xie Hengyan pounced on him, sniffing him with his dog's nose, as if he could smell something suspicious.

Yin Chun asked him, "What are you smelling?"

"Ah...no, it's nothing." Xie Hengyan said in his heart, there was no smell of alcohol, could it be that he still secretly took a bath alone without telling me?

However, after thinking about it this way, he didn't dare to ask him directly.The two had a heated argument during the day, Xie Hengyan wished he could risk his life to force Yin Chu to leave, Yin Chu must also be feeling very uncomfortable, but right now he is just holding back and refuses to tell anyone.

Fortunately, it was uncomfortable, and they quarreled, not like before, hurting each other every two days.Once Yin Chun learned to restrain his temper, Xie Hengyan didn't often quarrel with him, so they often had such a fight in the daytime, and when they came home at night, they each put on a shy face and laughed foolishly.

Only now is different from the past.Xie Hengyan couldn't laugh, Yin Chun couldn't laugh, they closed the wooden door with a "squeak", and the two of them turned around and sat back on the table and chair, lit a faint candlestick, each illuminated half of their lowered faces, and each other Sitting just like this, he was relatively speechless for a while.

After a long silence, Xie Hengyan suddenly spoke and said to Yin Chun, "Hello..."

Yin Chun: "Would you be able to call me your husband?"

"..." Xie Hengyan choked up, but after a while she was relieved, and said, "That...husband."

Yin Chun: "Huh?"

"You went out...what are you doing?" Xie Hengyan tightened his cuffs and asked embarrassingly, "Li Qiu is about to set off by boat, have you...prepared properly?"

"What did Rong Shilian tell you?" Yin Chun asked suddenly.

Xie Hengyan was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"

"Rong Shilian came to see you in the evening, I know." Yin Chun said, "She wanted to come, so I agreed... She didn't say anything weird, did she?"

"Oh... oh." Xie Hengyan said in a low voice, "I didn't say anything, a woman, I just sighed, after all, I have to be separated from her husband, so I'm somewhat reluctant..."

"What about you?" Yin Chun raised his eyes and said to him, "After she talked with you about this, what do you think?"

This time, Xie Hengyan was a little silent, and looked at him through the candlestick. The dim light in the room made each other's dark eyes gradually brighter.

"Yin Chun..." Xie Hengyan took a deep breath and asked him, "Do you want me to accompany you to the outside world?"

"I don't want to." Yin Zhu said without hesitation, "I don't want to at all."

Xie Hengyan asked: "Why?"

Yin Chun said: "If no matter where you go, it will only bring you danger, I would rather you stay here... Even if you are trapped for a lifetime, it is better than dying directly."

His answer was surprisingly decisive.At this moment, Xie Hengyan supported the corner of the table with his hands, and slowly stood up straight from the side.

Following closely, he walked step by step, extremely difficult and stiff, and walked to Yin Chun. At that time, Yin Chun was about to reach out to help, but Xie Hengyan gently held it with both hands.

In the dimly lit cabin, the little cripple stood by the table with great difficulty, trying to hold his husband's hand.

Xie Hengyan's expression was unprecedentedly docile, while Yin Chun was slightly startled, as if a little stunned.

"Yin Chun, why don't I think so?" Xie Hengyan said, "Before I met you, I was just a piece of wood. I didn't know how to get along with people, let alone what love is, what is love. For 20 years Days and nights throughout the year, in the small courtyard on Tongjing Island, I wondered what happened to the little boy in his infancy, did he grow up? Will he grow as tall as me? If we see him again, what will he look like?"

As he said, he stretched out one palm and stroked Yin Chun's handsome yet sharp face: "Up to now, I finally see you, Yin Chun... If possible, I really want to be with you, all the time , clinging to you like before."

Yin Zhu said hoarsely: "You can also... cling to me now."

"But I can't, Yin Chun." Xie Hengyan's eyes dimmed, "My first mission is to keep you alive—the second is to be your wife and accompany you wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. If there is an inevitable relationship between the two conflict, I..."

"Xie Hengyan." Yin Chun interrupted him suddenly.

Xie Hengyan: "What?"

"Even if I want to leave the island, we will be separated temporarily. I believe in my life that there will always be only you." Yin Chun reached into the skirt of his clothes, took out the warm little fang, and placed it in the palm of his hand. Under the conspicuous candlelight, "I have married you, and this fang is the proof."

Xie Hengyan said in a daze: "Yin Chu, you..."

"I love you." Yin Zhu said very clearly, "I only love you, can you understand what I mean?"

Xie Hengyan was stunned, standing still by the table, and even after a long time, her face was reddened, and she stammered, "You...you...you..."

"I promise you, before the beginning of autumn, I will go to sea on time." Yin Chun took a step forward, held the puppet's thin shoulders, and said again in a deep voice, "But you, Xie Hengyan, you have to promise me one condition."

Xie Hengyan: "What, what?"

"You and I will always be husband and wife, no matter where we are." Yin Zhuo decided to say, "I have recognized you, no matter what happens in the future, you can only be mine alone - and you must be like this think."

"Hiss..." Xie Hengyan whispered, "You are... too domineering."

Yin Chu: "?"

Xie Hengyan hurriedly changed his words: "I know, I know."

Yin Chun shouted coldly: "Speak clearly!"

"I can only belong to you alone, and you... can only belong to me alone." Xie Hengyan squeezed out a smile, looked at him seriously and said, "Is that okay?"

Yin Chun: "Yes."

Xie Hengyan: "So, Yin Chun is promising me that before the beginning of autumn, he will definitely go to sea with everyone?"

Yin Chun paused for a moment, then said with deep eyes, "En."

"Don't 'um'. If you want to say yes, I can say yes a hundred times." Xie Hengyan stretched out her little finger, "Let's pull Gougou."

Yin Chu: "..."

Xie Hengyan said stubbornly: "Pull Gougou!"

"You are so annoying..." Yin Chun looked away, but still complied with Xie Hengyan's request, and hooked his little paw that came over.

"Okay, never go back on your word."

"Don't regret it either."
