At night in Chucheng, the clear moon hangs high and the stars are everywhere.
Su Yan tossed and turned on the bed. The hard bed board was resting on his back and he couldn't sleep. Thinking of being slaughtered by the boss during the day, the anger in his heart could not be extinguished. He sat up and walked downstairs.
She grabbed the quilt with one hand and freed her other hand to fumble in the darkness.
Her hand suddenly touched something, and her eyes seemed to be blocked by something, and a heavy breath floated around her face. She immediately realized something and retracted her hand like lightning, and then a sharp sound echoed in the inn.
"There's a ghost! Master, save me!" He turned around and ran up the stairs. In panic, he took three steps at a time and fell down.
A hand grabbed her in the darkness, "It's me!"
The familiar voice made her calm down. After feeling the warmth on her wrist, her anxious heart finally calmed down, "Why are you out here pretending to be a ghost when you don't sleep at night?"
Zuo Qing found it funny, "It's still early, I just came out to get some air, what about you, what are your plans to wrap yourself up in a quilt?"
"I...the bed is too hard, I can't sleep!" After saying this, she felt the urge to strangle herself, especially when she heard Zuo Qing's faint laughter, "Why are you laughing! You are so late at night.
Where did you go? I thought you left me here and ran away alone! It's a shame that my master treated you so well!"
"Su Ming and I have nothing to do with each other. You are thinking wrong."
Su Yan waved his hand and said: "Sir, you are too worried. As the master's disciple, how can I ruin your good marriage?"
Zuo Qing sighed helplessly, unable to see his expression clearly in the darkness. Su Yan said he was addicted, and approached him with a smile, smelling the smell on his body, "My master likes this smell, and you are quite fond of him."
If you care, why hide your true feelings? Don’t be embarrassed!"
Zuo Qing suddenly held her hand, leaving no room for her to resist, and went straight to the roof.
Su Yan said displeased: "Why did you bring me here?!"
Under the moonlight, his outline seemed to be soaked in, with a layer of white light floating on it. He stared at her and slowly approached her.
"What do you want to do?" Su Yan hurriedly stepped back. Those eyes made her feel scared.
Zuo Qing forced her to the edge of the eaves, with no way to retreat.
A clear and cold voice lingered in her ears, "You always think that your master and I have an affair. It's because of Duanxiu. Naturally, I have to prove my innocence." He suddenly stretched out his hands to pull the frightened and pale man in front of him.
In his arms, Zuo Qing was very tall, and she only reached his shoulders. The moment her face pressed against him, she felt as if her whole body had been struck by lightning, penetrating from her left ear to her right ear, and her head went blank. She waited until she could react.
When I tried to push him away, he held me within his arms.
"If I like men, why would I come all the way here with you? Do you think I have a broken sleeve?"
"I...how do I know."
Zuo Qing carried her away again, "Don't mention the word "broken sleeves" again, otherwise I..."
Su Yan was like a carried silkworm cocoon, dangling there, very cute. She glanced at his face, and she didn't expect that Zuo Qing, who had always been steady and even perverted, would also be embarrassed and angry at times, but in the blink of an eye, he recovered again
To the normal expression, there is no expression!
Zuo Qing smoothed his robe, sat cross-legged, and stared at the stars in trance.
Seeing that he was still not leaving, Su Yan asked cautiously: "It's windy on the roof, why don't you go back?"
"I'll sit down for a while."
Su Yan moved step by step to sit next to him, "I'll go to the market tomorrow and sell all the medicine and then go back. When will you leave?"
"After finishing things, we will leave and return to Rongguo."
"Are you coming back yet?"
Zuo Qing hesitated, shook his head and said, "Not sure."
Su Yan lowered his head in frustration. It would have been better if he had not left. From then on, the three of them would guard the tavern together, working at sunrise and resting at sundown. Unfortunately, he was not her, and was not willing to spend the rest of his life just as a waiter.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before she couldn't bear to leave him. At this moment, she could no longer keep the smile on her face that didn't care about anything.
"When I was a child, I was afraid of being alone. My younger brothers and sisters always accompanied me, and we went to the back mountains to fly kites and dig out bird's nests. But in the blink of an eye...do you know what it felt like when I first saw you?"
He slowly lowered his eyes, his expression unclear.
Su Yan had no illusions about getting a reply from him and continued, "In this long life, this is the first time I have seen someone like you. You rarely smile. You are like a cold stone. You don't like to be held in the palm of someone's hand.
You don’t like to be in the sun either, don’t you feel lonely as a cold stone?”
"Loneliness? What's so good about living under the sun? Perhaps you can live longer if you hide in the darkness."
Su Yan looked at him in surprise, "Why do you act like a resentful woman when you are such a good man?"
The corners of Zuo Qing's lips curved up, and he suddenly changed the topic, "Don't you think the stars here are completely different from those in Mobei? The ones here are very limited."
"Isn't it good here? Look how beautiful Chucheng is, with mountains and water and lots of people. Walking on the street is full of people's voices. It's so lively! What's so good about the desert? It's desolate and dry, as if it's been dried by the wind.
A face like that, can you find beauty in a face like that? I don’t think you can!”
She wanted to see some approval on Zuo Qing's face, but all she got was silence, so she began to talk about the recurrence of her illness and talk to herself. Sometimes she talked about her hometown, and sometimes she asked about his hometown. Obviously, he kept silent.
, after that, I lost all energy and wanted to get up to leave, but he stopped me.
"Do you know what the stars in the sky represent?"
Su Yan looked at him puzzled, what's wrong with this man? He asked him seriously, but he didn't respond a word. When he didn't want to ask anymore, he said these words that others couldn't understand!
"Someone once said to me that the stars in the sky represent all life in the world. The disappearance of every life will take away a star, and the night sky is a life book. The position and lifespan of each star have already been arranged.
.So, we just need to stay in our position and wait for death. But I think what he said is wrong at all. Not all stars follow their destiny, and those stars can only appear in the dark.
The reason why I am controlled by a mere life book is because of cowardice, and it is precisely because of cowardice that I can only live in the dark night."
What is this mess?!
The night was silent, the moonlight covered the roof, shining soft light on the dark tiles, which was indescribably beautiful and peaceful. He just looked at the night sky quietly, the loneliness on the corner of his mouth could not be warmed by the moonlight. "You
Have you ever seen stars appearing in the daytime? Some people, just like those stars, are not bound and are destined."
Su Yan felt like he was listening to a book from heaven. He didn't know what it was about. He was just discussing the time when the stars appeared, so why did he suddenly switch to life? Is there something wrong with this person's brain? It's not that people with brain problems only like to discuss life with others!
Zuo Qing came up to her at some point and asked her weirdly: "What kind of star would you like to be?"
Su Yan was so frightened that he pushed him away and blurted out: "Men and women cannot be intimate!"
Zuo Qing was stunned and didn't know why he reacted like this. He smiled awkwardly, got up and left, leaving the people behind him immersed in panic and joy.
