The final chapter: The two lovers stay together until their return (4)
When she stepped onto that familiar land again, Yin Yin was filled with emotion. The once peaceful village had long since turned into ruins, and it was she and Zhao Ziheng who caused this tragedy. To be more precise, it was because of her. However, now things have changed and the person who caused this tragedy has left this world. No one can blame the deceased for his past mistakes, and they can only face the facts that have become a foregone conclusion.
With no time to mourn or mourn the dead soul, Yin Yin came to the location of the happy cottage that had appeared in her dreams countless times. Standing outside the cottage, Yin Yin could hardly hide her excitement. The cottage in front of her had not changed at all from the past, but at the same time she was afraid, afraid that the person who left the letter saying that he would return to the place where they had been happy was not here, or that she had guessed wrong and the person was not here at all?
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Yin Yin slowly walked towards the door of the cottage, followed by Feng Qinghan and others who came with her.
She gently pushed open the closed door, and when she saw the scene in the house, Yin Yin was stunned. First of all, what caught her eye was the familiar and nostalgic scene and layout. Scenes from the past kept flashing before her eyes. They were so happy at that time; and what really shocked Yin Yin was that everything in the house was so tidy. If no one had taken care of or lived here for a long time, it would have been covered with a thick layer of dust. The spotless and tidy furnishings everywhere proved that someone had been here or lived here, especially the vase on the windowsill. The white calla lily in it was so bright and vibrant. There was no need to explain what this meant.
In the 21st century, the message of white calla lily is 'loyalty and everlasting love'.
Tears blurred Yin Yin's eyes. She seemed to see the scene when they were on the island watering the calla lilies together every day. For Yin Yin, that was all her happiness.
"He must be here."
Wang Ye, who came in at some point, said that Feng Qinghan and the others had also arrived.
Yin Yin slowly woke up from her sadness, and then without saying a word, as if she had suddenly realized something, she pushed away the person blocking the door and ran out.
"……Well!?"
"Let her go. She knows where it is."
Just as Xue Han was about to take a step to chase Yin Yin, Wang Ye reached out to stop him. Wang Ye's eyes followed the gradually receding figure, with ; Feng Qinghan, on the other hand, had a calm attitude, and like Wang Ye and the others, he followed the gradually leaving figure with his eyes, with a slight upward arc at the corner of his mouth...
Yin Yin ran all the way to the place she remembered. Because of her physical condition, Yin Yin fell several times, but she still struggled to stand up again and ran forward.
After passing through a green forest, a sea of flowers appeared before her eyes. The sound of flowing water came to her ears, but Yinyin's mind was no longer on the flowers or the water. Instead, she was desperately searching for that familiar figure. Finally, Yinyin saw the man she had been thinking about day and night in front of a clear spring at the end of the sea of flowers. He was sitting on a stone, staring at the clear spring in front of him, as if he was in deep thought.
After a long time, Zhao Ziheng turned around as if waking up from a dream, and his eyes widened instantly when he saw Yin Yin.
When she met Zhao Ziheng's gaze, Yinyin could no longer hold back and ran towards him. Zhao Ziheng, who was in a daze, subconsciously stood up from the stone when he saw Yinyin running towards him. After a while, Yinyin threw herself into Zhao Ziheng's arms, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist, as if she was afraid that he would disappear, and hugged him very tightly...
Even when he was hugged by those familiar hands, Zhao Ziheng still thought he was dreaming. He stood there in a daze, still being held tightly by Yin Yin, with his hands hanging at his sides, not knowing what to do. Until he heard a soft sob in her arms, Zhao Ziheng suddenly woke up and turned his gaze to the person in his arms. He found that the frail body was trembling slightly. So Zhao Ziheng could no longer say the thousands of words in his heart, and just raised his hands to hug the trembling and frail body tightly.
It was unknown how long had passed. When the two of them had completely calmed down, they were already sitting in a sea of flowers. Yinyin leaned in Zhao Ziheng's arms, and Zhao Ziheng put his arms around her from behind and held her hands; he kissed Yinyin's forehead from time to time, and hugged the person in his arms tighter from time to time, as if he was afraid that everything would disappear if he let go. Neither of them spoke, as if they were each thinking about something, or thinking about how to break the silence.
The surface of the clear pond nearby was stirred up by a gust of wind, and then Yin Yin's voice broke the silence.
"I'm cold."
This sentence immediately got a response from Zhao Ziheng. He tightened his arms, but he didn't know that such strength had made Yinyin feel pain. But Yinyin said nothing, as if she was feeling the pain , because only in this way could she believe that Zhao Ziheng was by her side.
Another light kiss fell on Yin Yin's forehead, and then I heard that familiar and deep voice echoing in my ears, whispering: "Why did you come here?"
Zhao Ziheng's voice was very soft, as if he was asking Yin Yin or himself, his eyes staring straight ahead, not knowing where he was looking.
Yinyin didn't answer immediately, but snuggled into Zhao Ziheng's arms again, and then she stopped and answered: "I love you."
Her face was pressed against his chest, which made her voice sound a little muffled, but to Zhao Ziheng it was like the sound of nature, and he immediately became much more sober. However, he did not dare to look at her, nor did he dare to respond.
"Don't leave me again." Yin Yin's voice sounded again.
A sour feeling blocked his throat. Zhao Ziheng slightly opened his trembling lips and wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know how to start.
Regardless of what Zhao Ziheng thought, Yin Yin continued: "Even if it can't last forever, I want to stay by your side until the last moment of my life burns out."
Hearing this, Zhao Ziheng's whole body trembled, and he dared not look at Yin Yin, fearing that she would know the truth, which would be too cruel for her, so he chose to leave.
