There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea

The first chapter of the ninth piece: (ten)

Qi Pan slowly calmed down from an uncontrollable tremor. Although her lips were broken, she did not bleed. The blood in her body would not flow. Others couldn't hurt her, only she could. But even so, wounds heal much faster than ordinary people.

But this does not prevent Tang Shenbai from pitying her. He closed the door with his backhand, held her little cheek and kissed him in a low voice, "Did you go out to find me?"

He knew how scared she was. "I'm fine, sorry, I worried you."

Qi Pan shook his head and put his arms around his waist without speaking. Tang Shenbai picked her up and put it on his lap, touching her forehead in an intimate manner. "Someone wants to invite us to dinner at night, do you want to go?"

"Who is it?"

"The girl I rescued is also from country Z. If you don't want to go, we won't go."

Qi Pan shook his head again, "Go ahead."

Being with her is really not a happy thing. He wants to stay away from his relatives and friends, walk away from her, and even stay away from all friendly strangers, just because he is afraid that others will discover the secrets in her. This is really unfair, she thought.

Because it’s been a long time to interact with people, Qi Pan even dressed up before going out. She is already very beautiful. This body exudes her beauty to the full. The delicate and young skin does not need any skin care products. It seems to be broken, making her as cute as a porcelain doll. It is precisely because of this overly beautiful appearance that whenever she appears in front of people, she always attracts people's attention, which is why Yan Pan is less and less willing to go out. In the previous two days on the cruise ship alone, several foreign men with high noses and deep-sightedness approached her. If Tang Shenbai hadn't felt it in time, she wouldn't know how to deal with it.

She didn't dare to say a few more words, for fear of being seen that she was not breathing at all.

"do I look good?"

Tang Shen's eyes were appreciative. He took her little hand and touched her cool ear, "It looks good."

After that, I added another sentence: "I like it very much."

When Qi Pan heard this, she blushed. She hugged him and couldn't bear to let go, "Then later, can you ask me to dance?"

Her eyes are shining, because this has always been her dream, but in the previous two lifetimes, there was no such opportunity, let alone such qualifications.

"Of course." Tang Shenbai thought for a while and said, "but I haven't jumped well enough, you can't have any opinions."

She smiled and nodded. How could he not dance well? He knows everything, he can learn everything quickly, he is upright, gentle, and gentle. She has lived for so long and has never seen anyone better than him.

But this dance did not succeed in the end.

They met for dinner in a well-known restaurant. This restaurant’s beef short ribs are particularly famous. The environment is quiet and elegant, and the restaurant is filled with the melodious and moving piano sound. Tang Shenbai led Qi Pan to their table under the guidance of the waiter. Qi Pan finally saw the "very polite compatriot" Tang Shenbai said.

That face is so familiar.

Qi Pan whitened her face as soon as she saw it, and she was overwhelmed with shame and shame as the tide flooded her. She felt like a thief stripped of her clothes and opened in the sun for people to visit. All the despicableness and embarrassment. They were all revealed mercilessly, leaving nothing but devastation.

She sat down like a string puppet and listened stiffly to Tang Shenbai's conversation with each other. In fact, she didn't listen carefully, because the rest of her strength was trembling, and the cold made her teeth tremble, which was extremely ridiculous.

"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." Finally, Qi Pan couldn't bear it. She exhausted her last courage and calmly left the table. Tang Shenbai wanted to send her to her but she refused. She hid in the toilet cubicle alone. , Biting his wrist fiercely, his teeth pierced through the flesh, almost touching the white bones. It would be nice if she could feel the pain, in that case, she wouldn't be so sad.

She has completely spent the makeup she put on for going out, but she can't stay here for too long, lest Tang Shenbai worry. Fortunately, Qi Pan brought her mobile phone. She hurriedly washed her face in cold water and then quietly left. On the way, she sent a message to Tang Shenbai saying that she was a little uncomfortable and went back to the hotel first.

She cried like a stupid fool on the streets of a foreign country where people came and went.

A long, long time ago, when she left him for the first time, she cried like this in a place where no one knew herself. Then she went to the bakery on the corner to buy a donut and ate it with tears in her eyes. .

Qi Pan often wonders, why is there no one in this world to love her? Mother didn’t have her own in her heart. Father re-established the family. When mother died, she was clinging to her stepfather’s hands. Everyone who was connected to her didn’t want her. Everyone didn’t have her in her heart. She was there. It seems superfluous everywhere. She worked hard to make herself cheerful, but no matter how many places she went to, how many people she helped, she didn't feel it.

There were frequent wars in the battlefield, and the volunteers who were with her were concerned by their family members. Every time a war happened, they would immediately call home to report their safety. When they were kidnapped, the others were scared to tears. Only Yan Pan was calm.

Because even if she died here, she wouldn't hurt anyone's heart.

She has nothing.

Maybe even now, she is still like this.

Tang Shenbai received Qi Pan’s text message and said sorry to the other party and rushed back. He was relieved when he saw her staying in the room obediently, but could not help nagging, Qi Pan listened to him nagging. Himself, with godless eyes: "I'm sorry."

Really sorry.

She didn't know who she was telling her sorry sentence. Was it with Tang Shenbai or the woman who looked exactly like his wife?

If she didn't come out of that forest, they would still meet in this life, and then they would love each other, right? Will get married and have children, and grow old. Now all of this has been ruined by her, and Qi Pan has become such a despicable sinner. Why should she grab it? Why should she stay with Tang Shenbai? If he hadn't belonged to her in the first two lives, there shouldn't be any accidents in the third life.

"Why do you have to apologize?" Tang Shenbai was softened by her. He was just worried that she would leave without saying a word. He always reminded him of the five years he was surrounded by dreams. He didn't want to lose her again. "Just tell me what you are thinking, okay?"

Qi Pan sat on his lap, "I'm sorry."

"I am sorry for you." Tang Shenbai sighed lightly, "Panpan, why are you unhappy?"

"Will you like her?"

"Um?"

"That person, would you like her?"

It took Tang Shenbai more than ten seconds to realize that she was talking about the Z woman who had dinner together in the evening. He narrowed his eyes, and he rarely felt a little displeased at her: "I am such a person in your heart. ?"

Qi Pan bit his lower lip, but Tang Shenbai broke his chin, and then he put his finger in: "Even if it doesn't hurt, don't bite."

He seemed to understand what she was upset about. "Panpan, I want you to look into my eyes and listen to me carefully."

At his request, Qi Pan had to raise his head and look at him. His eyes were very gentle, and there were some other things mixed in. What was it? Qi Pan couldn't understand. She had never seen her little uncle show such eyes. He was always gentle, tolerant, and pleasant to everyone.

In fact, Qi Pan didn't know that after her death, he seldom laughed.

He always drove to the bridge and looked at the river that had swallowed her. Her love remained in the world and turned into steaming water vapor. Even if he lost consciousness, he was still attracted to him and gathered around him faintly.

"I am an adult who can think independently and be responsible for his actions."

Qi Pan looked at him unclearly.

"Who I am tempted with, who I like, who I am willing to pay for, I know every decision I make."

His kiss fell on her trembling eyes, soft and gentle. "Didn’t you tell me? I only love you, at least in my life, I only love you, and I won’t be tempted by anyone anymore. I want to spend the rest of my life together and only you are the only one who can do anything for you. I am willing. I think we are very happy together. I feel contentment and happiness in every way I have walked with you. Only you can bring me this feeling, and no one else can."

Yes, no one else can do it except Yan Pan.

Later, Qi Pan really spent the rest of his life with him. Even if she can't fulfill her duties as a wife, when Tang Shen is very white and old, Qi Pan is still as beautiful as ever. Many times strangers see them cuddling together and find it incredible, but in the eyes of Qi Pan, he is still Her beloved little uncle.

"Panpan, do you think people will have another life?"

Qi Pan replied softly: "There will be."

"Then I, I want to be with you in my next life." He held her hand. Compared with the delicate and smooth little hand, his hand was like dead wood, full of stubble branches.

"...Well, if there is another life, I will definitely find you, and be with you again, you have to wait for me."

He snuggled in her arms, slowly closed his eyes, and looked at the endless sea in front of him with tears.

Qi Pan hugged Tang Shenbai. The ship drifted around without direction. She looked at the unfathomable sea, smiled slightly, and jumped down with him.

I'm sorry, uncle, I don't have another life, and I'm very happy in this life I stolen. In the future, there will never be any sorrows, no one will hurt you for the rest of your life, let you worry about it like this, let you leave your home like this, let you sleep with me in the sea.

It took me three lifetimes to finally dissipate from this world, no longer entangle you, and return you to freedom.

But she did not hear Tang Shenbai's mumbling before closing his eyes.

He says.

Panpan, I don't want to forget you.
