the depths of that autumn

He just looked at me like this, without saying a word, without smiling or angry, as if he was waiting for me to accept the fact before me, not just an illusion...

I tried to call out his name in disbelief...

"Blue... dragon..."

He finally smiled and said, "Fortunately, you still remember me."

I was completely paralyzed, unable to stand on my feet, and fell backwards...

He took a step forward, stretched out his powerful right hand and hugged me, his breath completely covered me!I couldn't bear it anymore, hugged him and wept wantonly...

Finally, one month later, I regained the familiar warmth of that world; finally, one month later, I felt the beating of my heart; finally, one month later, I saw life...

It’s like an invisible bridge connecting me to that world again. With him, I seem to be that ink artist again. With him, I seem to have the warmth and safety of that world again. What kind of joy and pain is that? , I can't tell, I can only release this long-standing mental pain by crying...

All the surprises slowly turned into joy...

Great, I haven't lost all of it. He is the only source of kindness. I can't control anything for the time being. I just want to hold on to this gift-like happiness. I just know that I don't want to let go, and don't lose this only kindness. origin of……

Even if it is a dream, it must be guarded until it wakes up. If possible, I will not wake up.

He just hugged me and let me cry, waiting patiently...

Time passed silently...

In this autumn, may the wind wash away all the pain...

……

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Qinglong and I sat quietly opposite each other...

I said, why are you here?

He said, my sealing time is up...

I said, have you been sealed for so long?

He said, well, it was too hurt to wake up.

My chest hurts and I can't speak...

He said that Baihu and Xuanwu were afraid that I would mess around, and the condition for the release of the seal was that I completely let go of my grief and anger.Let go, and the seal will be released naturally.

"I'm sorry..." I still can only say this sentence, I can't find any words or words to comfort and explain, is it because even I haven't let go of this grief?Still... afraid that those words of apology and explanation will arouse his sadness...

He just smiled and said, "After waking up, it took me three years to find you..."

I slowly lifted my head away from the glass window and looked at him... He has been looking for me for three years?

"I finally found it. Anyway, the luckiest thing is that you still remember me."

I was suddenly a little scared, afraid that he would know my contract with the devil, but my feelings for him had surpassed this fear, and I decided to confess to him, because I was tired of those uncontrollable "too late"...

I said, "Do you know about me? The truth, the truth about Lingyue and me."

"know."

I looked at him even more in disbelief, unable to speak for a long time...

He looked back at me firmly, and said, "Three years is enough to find you and get to know you."

I tried my best to put aside all my emotions and said, "Then you know, I'm not an ink artist anymore?"

"Yeah." His mood was light and calm.

I no longer had the courage to look him in the eyes, crossed my legs, leaned my head on my knees and looked out the window, saying: "Then you know the contract I made with the devil?"

"Ah."

i closed my eyes...

He said: "After I found you, I didn't rush to see you. After all, I thought you and I didn't know each other in this life, and..." He paused slightly, and no one knew how painful it was hidden under this pause. emotions, "Because of being hurt in the past life, I will never be able to put a guardian mark on you. Forever, no matter who you are or what identity you have changed, as long as you are still you and I am still me, we will not be able to be the guardian and the guarded." The relationship between them, life after life, remains unchanged forever."

I couldn't speak, and my heart began to be tortured by deep guilt...

He said, "But I don't care..."

I slowly looked at him...

He looked out of the window with a warm smile on his face... "I will protect you, no ceremony is needed." Around, there is an emotion that nothing is important.I have a deep understanding of that single-minded, unshakable determination, so I can understand it without hindrance!At that moment, it was like seeing myself at the beginning, and I couldn't help feeling distressed...

He looked at me, released a warm smile generously, and said softly: "Xia Yan, don't be afraid, you still have me, in this life, I will accompany you."

My tears fell silently... Why did I want him to do this, why did I want her to waste time on someone who had hurt him before? !However, I have hurt him once, and I will never hurt him a second time.Forget it, in this life, let him accompany me to spend it. Fortunately, God took pity on him and kept him by my side.

At that time, I lost all hope and had the motivation to live again.With him in this life, at least I can be sure that I will live bravely.

I crawled towards him, close to his warmth, buried my head in his arms, and let my tears dry up...
