Les veuves de la dynastie Song se remariaient facilement - Chapitre 196
The darkness that cannot be penetrated.
Before dawn, carrying a tray of food in his left hand and dragging an exquisite box in his right, he entered the room.
Tang Leyan was lying on the table when she saw him enter. A look of joy appeared on her face, and she suddenly stood up and called out, "Wei Bai!"
Dongchuang Weibai looked at her expression and smiled, saying, "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"
"There's still half a day left, including the night," she said happily, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
"Yes," Dongchuang Weibai said happily, looking at her with affection in his eyes. "Are you hungry? Come and eat something first." "Okay," she replied. "Thank you, Weibai!"
Before dawn, Dongchuang sat at the table, watching her across from him eat with relish.
Tang Leyan ate for a while and then noticed the box he had placed on the table.
"What is this?" she asked, licking the pastry crumbs off her fingers.
Dongchuang Weibai smiled and reached out to wipe away a bit of grease from the corner of her mouth: "Well... I'll tell you after I've eaten."
"I'm full," she said, sticking out the tip of her tongue and licking her lips.
Dongchuang Weibai looked at her and asked with a smile, "Little Nineteen has finally come back for a visit, and she'll be leaving again soon... Won't you miss me?"
Tang Leyan was taken aback, and the smile on her face faded: "How could that not be..." she said, "Here, Wei Bai is the best to me."
"And what about the fifteenth?" he asked.
“He…” Her expression was somewhat troubled.
Dongchuang Weibai shook his head: "Never mind, never mind. Humph."
Tang Leyan grabbed his hand: "No, I was just thinking. He's nice to me sometimes and mean sometimes, so it doesn't count."
Dongchuang Weibai then turned his anger into joy: "You!" He poked her cheek with his finger, "Have another piece."
Tang Leyan stuck out her tongue: "I'm not eating anymore, I'm really full, come and touch me if you don't believe me."
She stretched out her belly and then reached out to touch it.
Dongchuang Weibai couldn't help but chuckle: "You really are... still the same as before..."
"Of course." Tang Leyan smiled, then suddenly her eyes darted around. "By the way, Wei Bai, why are you always on Tianmiao Peak? Other disciples will come down the mountain one day. Even if you are the sect leader's right-hand man, you don't need to do this."
Although she was smiling before dawn, her smile already seemed somewhat stiff.
Tang Leyan, oblivious to the situation, simply said, "How about we go down the mountain together this time?" She thought for a moment, "The sect leader has been so good to you, why don't you go and beg him? Maybe he'll agree. There are lots of fun things to do down the mountain that you're not familiar with, I'll take you there, and there's plenty of delicious food too, it'll be my treat!"
She had a good idea. She was overjoyed. Her eyebrows danced with excitement, and she talked on and on. A blush crept onto her face.
As dawn broke, everything blurred before his eyes. His heart felt as if it had sunk into an icy lake, yet he was struggling desperately, reaching out his hands and screaming for help, but no one heard him. Suddenly, a sentence came from the sky, and only this sentence kept echoing in his ears, keeping a sliver of hope alive in his heart. He swayed and staggered, stepping on the water to surface, trying his best to drift towards the shore.
Let's go down the mountain together!
She said.
Before dawn, her mind was buzzing, constantly replaying those words in her head, as if she wanted to etch them firmly into her heart, never to forget them, not even until death.
"Wei Bai, Wei Bai!" Tang Leyan said for a while, and seeing that Dongfang Wei Bai was stunned and didn't react, she reached out and shook his cheek, then reached out and pinched his nose, "What are you thinking about?"
Before dawn, he felt suffocated and only then did he wake up with a start. Looking at the person in front of him, he shook his head with a bitter smile: "No, nothing."
Tang Leyan tilted her head: "Then what do you think of my suggestion?"
Before dawn, he reluctantly said, "Okay, very good."
Tang Leyan then smiled and said, "Then listen to me and go plead with the sect leader."
Dongchuang Weibai smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you after we get down the mountain." She patted her chest.
Before dawn, he felt a strange river flowing slowly within his heart, a mixture of bitterness, sweetness, sourness, and spiciness, pressing down on him until he could hardly breathe. Every smile, every raised eyebrow of hers brought him unbearable pain, yet also boundless happiness. She patted her chest, like the child she once was, like a carefree, laughing child. When he first met her, he had mistaken her for a mischievous boy; now she had grown into a formidable young woman. Yet, he desperately remembered that child from back then, and desperately loved this formidable woman now, even if she harbored feelings for someone else, even if someone else loved her…
I don't want to let go, I don't want to.
Before dawn, Dongchuang suddenly reached out and firmly grasped the hand that Tang Leyan was patting her chest with.
The force was immense and violent; Tang Leyan winced in pain, feeling as if her hand was about to be crushed. She cried out, "Wei Bai, what are you doing?"
Dongfang Weibai felt his hands trembling slightly, his mind filled with only one thought: Don't let go, don't let go!
Get as close to the light as you can.
If that warmth were to turn into a raging fire, burning him to ashes, he too would…
No regrets.
People should always try their best.
Work harder for your own happiness.
Try harder to escape the suffocating, inky darkness.
I am the first light of dawn, the deepest darkness before sunrise.
A darkness that defies easy understanding and makes one struggle.
Even in this dark world, I still carry a glimmer of light in my heart.
A yearning for light.
And this child in front of me, I don't want to let go.
In no mood.
If you call me selfish, then let me be selfish for once.
Happiness, that luxury.
Love, that elusive thing.
I always have to reach out and try to explore.
Try to... get close to her once.
Regardless of success or failure, this will be the most memorable and proudest thing in my life.
Before dawn, he reached out and took the exquisite box from the side.
"What is this?" Tang Leyan asked.
“This…is a very good thing,” Dongchuang Weibai said.
"How so?" "It can... bring happiness."
Chapter 261: Different Paths, No Leaving a Thousand Miles
In the dark dungeon, behind the sturdy iron bars, Chu Gexing slowly opened his eyes.
Something seems off...
It's too quiet. These past few days have been unusually quiet. As expected, none of the elders have come, nor has anyone else come to interrogate him. However, the Aoshi Tianzong sect members come every hour. Seeing that he ignores them, they stand outside the cell and just watch. This makes Chu Gexing's heart burn with rage, and he feels an urge to kill.
Those purple eyes, one day, I'll gouge them out.
He thought.
Having something ruthless to vent is a good thing.
Avoid overthinking.
Whenever I'm alone and quiet, I think of that person.
I wonder how she is now, and whether her health has recovered.
Is Dongchuang Weibai taking care of her? ...That pretty boy, I always felt he wasn't very reliable. When I saw him before, he was sometimes sarcastic and his gaze seemed hostile. But he's genuinely good to Tang Leyan. Often, you'll see Tang Leyan with him, playfully teasing each other, quite happily.
Back then at Tianmiao Peak, besides him, she was only close to Dongchuang Weibai.
Sometimes Chu Gexing would think: If it weren't for him, if it weren't for Dongchuang Weibai, would that guy still be able to spend his long, boring time on Tianmiao Peak unscathed?
He and Dongchuang Weibai silently deflected all the arrows, both overt and covert, for her.
She was completely oblivious to why she was different from the other disciples, able to play with him without restraint, and to joke and tease Dongchuang Weibai without any inhibitions. She only wondered why no one else approached him, and why he never said anything... He didn't want to get close to any of those people. And even if they wanted to approach him, there were others who wouldn't want to see him.
Except for her.
She was the only one who was special.
Ge Xun is right, I've liked her for a long time.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed her to get close to him, while secretly shielding her from all sorts of attacks, including that person's anger.
If you don't like it, why indulge it? It's laughable that he's deceiving himself.
He simply refused to think about it. What was he afraid of? Failure? Probably.
But now, he would rather go up the mountain in a fit of anger for her sake and see that disgusting pervert.
But I'm not worried. He can't control him. Never.
Even if his Free and Unfettered Skill is not yet fully mastered, the Peerless Heavenly Sect will never be able to treat Chu Gexing as a chess piece, to be manipulated and controlled at will.
He is not yet enlightened.
He has no patience to swallow humiliation; he has had enough. Now, if anyone insults him even a little, he will repay them tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or even ten thousandfold.
He is Chu Gexing.
He has his own principles for living.
It has been like this for a long time.
He sat quietly cross-legged on the iron bed, forcing himself to calm down and regulate his breathing.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the light outside the cell.
He got up, got out of bed, and walked to the fence.
A chilling aura lingered around me.
He frowned in disgust.
It's probably been a day already. If Aoshitianzong keeps his word, he'll probably leave with her tomorrow.
Let's go down the mountain together.
When this thought came to mind, the blood in my body seemed to roar uncontrollably.
