After Jiang Zhi left, Mo Hua had no intention of eating anything else and asked the waiter to clear the table, leaving only a cup of scented tea to accompany the bitter past.

It turns out she still remembers a lot of things.

It turns out that time just passed.

But she still remembered the way Xue Guxian smiled.

Chic and uninhibited.

He likes to laugh, but he is also serious most of the time, and his appearance when he is working seriously becomes the scenery. In fact, he also likes to play pranks. He will always tell them some weird things in the grotto, and wait until they are scared to the point of screaming.

, he laughed heartily.

He said that he was obsessed with Dunhuang. Maybe he had a connection with Dunhuang in his previous life, so he wanted to take root in Dunhuang in this life.

Yes, why should she still resent Xue Guxian? Because this was the choice he made early on, and Zhen Zhen also knew about his choice early on. She just wanted to give it a try and bet on her own love in his heart.

Just the location.

He said that he knew nothing about music or dance, but he loved watching Zhen Zhen play the violin. He said that Zhen Zhen looked like the goddess on the mural when she played.

However, he could not see the flying dance she created for him.

That day he said to her very apologetically, "I'm sorry, I love Zhen Zhen."

She asked him, Xue Guxian, how much do you love Zhen Zhen?

He was silent for a while and said, I love her more than myself.

Xue Gu did it first, but he loved work more than Zhen Zhen.

Mo Hua didn't know how she lived that year. She left Dunhuang, but her heart remained there. She was trapped in Dunhuang in many midnight dreams. Even in her future creations, the sound of "

Still the same camel bell sound.

She was thinking that maybe she would never forget Xue Guxian in this life. People in that era, like theirs, seemed to have no time to forget when they fell in love with someone.

It was Sheng Ziyan who took the initiative to pursue her.

Sheng Ziyan could see how crazy she was about Xue Guxian.

Sheng Ziyan told her, you should give me a chance, and you should give yourself a chance.

Mo Hua shook his head and said that when his heart is full, he can no longer pretend to be someone else.

Sheng Ziyan did not force her, he just stayed by her side and never left her no matter what she said. He knew that she liked Dunhuang, so he wrote about Dunhuang.

The mountains of Dunhuang, the desert of Dunhuang, the sun and moon of Dunhuang, the fireworks of Dunhuang... and the grottoes that she missed but dared not face.

All of them are lifelike in Sheng Ziyan's pen.

Especially the murals in the grottoes were all painted on paper by him.

She marveled at Sheng Ziyan's painting and lamented that it was a time-consuming and energy-consuming creation. Sheng Ziyan told her that because the other person is you, it is worth my time.

He drew her thoughts on paper, and when she cried, he handed her a tissue and jokingly said: Why is my painting so shocking?

She laughed through tears and asked him, who do you think is a ghost?

Sheng Ziyan raised his hand and caressed her brow bone and said, "You are a goddess, your faith is in Dunhuang, and my faith is in you."

Faith is painful and unforgettable.

Until, Xue Guxian married Jiang Zhenzhen.

She attended the wedding, and Jiang Zhenzhen asked her, Xue Hua, will you hate me?

She smiled and helped Jiang Zhenzhen smooth the hem of her skirt and said to her: You fool, if I hated you, could you still come? She pointed at Sheng Ziyan's back and said, "Look, where is my partner?"

Jiang Zhenzhen hugged her, her voice choked with sobs: I'm sorry, I really love Gu Xian too much.

Mo Hua hugged her back and said, I know, I know...it doesn't matter, I am very happy now, really.

She hoped that Jiang Zhenzhen would be happy, so in those years she only contacted Jiang Zhenzhen on the phone and rarely set foot in Dunhuang. She could not forget Xue Guxian, and she was afraid that Zhenzhen would see it and feel embarrassed.

Gradually, Zhen Zhen's mood became more and more depressed on the phone, until one day she said: Xue Hua, I plan to take Xiao Zhi away.

People of that era did not have the courage to divorce, but they had the courage to go far away from home and leave the place where they were sad.

She returned to Dunhuang and scolded Xue Guxian, scolding him for being irresponsible, scolding him for being too selfish, scolding him that since he didn't cherish marriage, he might as well get divorced and give Zhen Zhen a happy life.

Xue Guxian was very drunk at the time, and said with a choked voice, "I thought as long as she didn't get divorced, she would come back with her children one day..."

She gave Xue Guxian a hard slap in the face.

Sheng Ziyan saw all this.

In the year of Xue Guxian's accident, her song "Flying Heaven Realm" became famous internationally, and she performed it repeatedly in China and was well received by the audience.

After many years, she returned to Dunhuang, but she braved the danger of heavy rain and mudslides to search frantically for Xue Guxian. She kept running with the rescue team, and even thought that Xue Guxian was buried in the mudslide, digging until her fingers were exposed.

Got blood.

At that time, heavy rain washed away the gables, and there was a danger of another mudslide erupting at any time. Sheng Ziyan was angry and distressed for her. He hugged her in the heavy rain and yelled, "Are you going to die? How many years have passed, why do you still miss him?"

?Even if he might die!"

She fell into the rain and cried.

That was the first time Sheng Ziyan lost his temper with her. After chasing her for so many years, it was the first time she saw him become furious.

Seeing her crying, Sheng Ziyan finally calmed down and said: You don't have to love me for so many years, you can still have him in your heart, but I beg you, please feel more sorry for yourself, okay?

She cried even harder and told him: I didn't come to Dunhuang because I missed him. I wanted to explain something to Zhen Zhen. I couldn't let her live without a husband...

What she didn't say to Sheng Ziyan that year was: I have actually accepted you a long time ago. At Zhen Zhen's wedding, I pointed at you and said to her that you were my partner...

Later Sheng Ziyan asked her, did you fall in love with me after Xue Guxian's accident?

He always thought that without Xue Guxian, her heart would fall on him.

She didn't explain, but told him, maybe.

In fact, in the following years, every time she saw the Dunhuang paintings that Sheng Ziyan had painted for her, her love for him became deeper.

She didn't understand why Xue Guxian was willing to let Zhen Zhen go, nor did she understand Jiang Zhen Zhen's cruelty later. She had seen Zhen Zhen's stubbornness and took her mother's surname.

When Xue Guxian was in trouble, Jiang Zhi was in Dunhuang. With a thin body and a stubborn look on his face, he told Hu Xiang: I want to find Xue Guxian!

She pulled Jiang Zhi to her side, wiped his face, and asked him, what if he could never be found again?

Jiang Zhi had the forbearance beyond his age and said: Then keep looking.

…

He probably didn't remember her, it was just a one-time encounter at the time, and it was like he thought he had only seen that photo many years later.

Later, Jiang Zhi almost had an accident in the Devil's City. She hurried to Dunhuang and scolded Hu Xiang. Since Zhen Zhen was not in the country, she planned to take Jiang Zhi home to take care of him.

Hu Xiangsheng said that Jiang Zhi had been taken back to China by his family.

She thought it was Jiang Zhenzhen, but Hu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, no, Zhenzhen never came back.

…

When Sheng Ziyan entered the restaurant, Mo Hua had been in a daze. He didn't disturb her. After sitting down, he saw that the water in her glass was cold and asked the waiter to add some warm water.

She has a bad stomach and gets into trouble whenever she encounters something cold regardless of the season.

Mo Hua came out of her memories and said to Sheng Ziyan, "Actually, Jiang Zhi is a really outstanding child, he is very good." She said, stretched out her hand to compare -

"I knew from such a high age that this kid would definitely have a future when he grows up."

Sheng Ziyan nodded and said softly, "Yes, there are not many people in the world who can achieve such high results in the field of mural restoration at his age."

Mo Hua sighed, "The more this happens, the more worried I am..."

She raised her eyes to look at Sheng Ziyan, her eyes turned red as she looked at her, "I just found out today that Zhen Zhen... died of illness early in her life."

Sheng Ziyan was stunned for a long time before he reached out and took her hand, gradually smoothing her clenched fists.

Mo Hua choked up and said, "I think I'm particularly sorry for Zhen Zhen now, but... Jiang Zhizhen is just like Xue Guxian, Zi Yan, you know, I was really scared when I saw Jiang Zhi yesterday

, especially when our Tangtang sat with him, I felt like I saw Xue Guxian and Zhen Zhen, I can’t let Tangtang follow Zhen Zhen’s footsteps..."

Sheng Ziyan hugged her gently and comforted her, "I can understand."

"Do you think... Tangtang will hate me? Or, if Zhen Zhen has a spirit in heaven, will she also blame me?"

Sheng Ziyan patted her gently and said, "No, don't think too much. You have to know that the hearts of parents in the world are pitiful."

After returning to the car, Mo Hua's mood stabilized.

She asked Sheng Ziyan, "Tell me the truth, do you like Jiang Zhi's child?"

Sheng Ziyan started the car and replied without any secret, "I like him very much, such an outstanding child."

"But you also know that the reason why he returned to Dunhuang to take over Cave 0 was just for Xue Guxian, and he will not stay in the country for a long time."

Sheng Ziyan was silent for a moment and said, "Didn't he ask you to give him some time? Just observe and see."

Mo Hua stopped talking.

She had never seemed so sad in her life. Even when she broke her leg, she was just afraid that her daughter would become the second Jiang Zhenzhen.

When they were almost arriving at the hotel, Mo Hua's cell phone rang.

A strange number.

When I picked up, the voice on the other end was also unfamiliar, but also polite and nice——

"Is this Tangtang's mother? Hello, I'm Xiao Ye's mother. I'm making this call very abruptly. I heard from Professor Hu that you came to Dunhuang, and I happened to be there, so I thought I could see you if it's convenient.
