Lin Dong walked halfway up the mountain. He saw his residence, which was still the same hut. The scenery in the yard remained the same, but...
It's just that there is a white silhouette in the yard, and there is a large alchemy furnace on the ground next to it, and white smoke is emitting from the alchemy furnace.
Lin Dongjiu stopped and stared straight at the beautiful figure, his hands trembling.
Miss!
I'm back!
Su Ruxue sat in front of a table filled with colored paper, bouquets, bamboo strips...
These are all materials for making lanterns!
Su Ruxue weaved the lanterns skillfully, but she weaved them very slowly and carefully, and it took her a long time to make one.
Lin Dongjiu just stared blankly, and he didn't know how long it took. Su Ruxue finally made a lantern and put it on the open space aside.
And on the open space, there were hundreds of finished lanterns, and each lantern had a different shape and decoration.
After briefly calculating the time it took her to weave a lantern, and then looking at the number of lanterns on the ground, Lin Dongjiu's eyes became misty.
"Xiao Lin, let's go put out lanterns too!"
"Xiao Lin... I really want... I really want to go... with you... to put out the lanterns again..."
"It's a pity...I can't...I have to leave..."
Su Ruxue's voice from the past still echoed clearly in his mind. Lin Dongjiu's mood suddenly became extremely heavy. He bit his lip so tightly that he even drew blood without noticing.
Did she just sit here weaving lanterns while I was away?!
This silly girl...
Su Ruxue was weaving a lantern when the alchemy furnace next to her suddenly shook and made a "Puff, Puff!" sound.
Su Ruxue put down the half-finished lantern in her hand and slowly took a look at the strange state of the alchemy furnace. She casually cast a spell, and the alchemy furnace immediately stabilized. Then she continued to weave the lantern and ignored the alchemy furnace.
With a thought, Lin Dongjiu summoned the Fenyou Fire in his hand and let the Fenyou Fire fly to Su Ruxue.
Fenyouhuo understood its master's thoughts very well. Its flames jumped a few times before flying happily towards Su Ruxue.
It first circled around Su Ruxue a few times, and then rubbed Su Ruxue's arm affectionately with its pale white fireworks.
"Xiao...Xiaoyou?!"
Su Ruxue suddenly stood up with a "swish". She was holding Fen Youhuo in her hand, her pale and pretty face showed a look of shock, and her eyes that were like a pool of stagnant water finally showed a slight fluctuation.
She froze, as if she suddenly felt something, and looked back sharply in Lin Dongjiu's direction.
When she saw clearly the familiar face that she missed day and night, two lines of clear tears slipped down the corners of her face unconsciously.
Su Ruxue's lips trembled slightly, and her choked throat made her almost speechless. She just uttered two words in a hoarse voice:
"Xiao...Lin..."
Then, Su Ruxue's emotions seemed to be out of control, or as if they had been suppressed for too long and finally burst out. Tears burst out of her eyes like a fountain. She couldn't help crying anymore, and her whimpering screams were filled with endless longing.
and misery:
"Xiao Lin...is it you...are you back?"
"Ruxue...I'm back!"
Lin Dongjiu rushed towards Su Ruxue, held her tightly in his arms, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry Ruxue, I came back late and made you worry!"
Su Ruxue cried and said nothing. She just raised her fist and hit Lin Dongjiu's chest.
Lin Dongjiu allowed Su Ruxue to vent his emotions, but Su Ruxue didn't hammer a few times, as if she had lost her strength, and fell weakly into his arms, choking softly:
"Don't call me Ruxue, call me Miss!"
"Okay, okay, my eldest lady!"
Lin Dongjiu caressed Su Ruxue's thin face lovingly, but felt that she was as angry as a thread and her body was cold.
Lin Dongjiu immediately realized something was wrong. He called out to the eldest lady softly, but Su Ruxue did not respond. Instead, she closed her eyes tightly and looked in pain.
He quickly picked up Su Ruxue, carried her into the house and put her on the bed.
Su Ruxue's health was now in an extremely bad state, and under the great joy and sorrow, her mood fluctuated so much that she passed out.
Lin Dongjiu grabbed Su Ruxue's hand, and the spiritual energy in his body poured into her meridians desperately. He spent all his money to buy a few top-quality elixirs that strengthened the essence, and fed them into Su Ruxue's mouth.
Half an hour later, Su Ruxue's face finally showed a touch of redness. Lin Dongjiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Su Ruxue's long eyelashes trembled, and then she opened her eyes quietly.
"Xiao Lin..."
Su Ruxue sat up suddenly and looked around in panic.
When she caught a glimpse of Lin Dongjiu, who was sitting beside the bed with the same nervous expression, she finally threw herself into Lin Dongjiu's arms as if a big stone had fallen from her heart. Her tears fell on Lin Dongjiu's shoulders like broken pearls.
His clothes quickly became wet.
"I thought... everything just now... was just a dream... I was afraid... as soon as I woke up... the dream would wake up... and I would never... see you again.
You...you will...forever...leave me forever...wuwuwu..."
"Don't be afraid, Miss. I'm here, and I will never leave you. Don't be afraid..."
Lin Dongjiu patted Su Ruxue's back and comforted him softly.
"Really?"
Su Ruxue stopped crying, looked into Lin Dongjiu's eyes, and asked with choked sobs.
Lin Dongjiu nodded vigorously: "Of course it is true, but there is a prerequisite."
Su Ruxue blurted out: "What's the premise?"
Lin Dongjiu pinched her nose, then hugged her and lay down, covered her tightly with the quilt, and said with a straight face:
"The prerequisite is that you must know how to take care of yourself. Look at how sick you are now. You are so haggard that you no longer look like a human being."
"Hmph~"
Su Ruxue snorted arrogantly, and said silently in her heart: "I don't know who caused me to be like this!"
Then she buried her head in the quilt and said in a thin voice: "I want you to take care of me..."
Lin Dongjiu smiled and asked deliberately: "Miss, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Please speak louder."
"Hate! I didn't say anything!"
Su Ruxue hid in the quilt and rolled around, saying nothing and refusing to show her head.
Lin Dongjiu felt much better after being amused by this arrogant young lady, and said with a smile: "For the sake of your illness, you can stay at Xianyun Peak these days, and I will take care of you."
Su Ruxue showed her little head and pouted: "Otherwise, I would move here too. Where else would I go if I didn't live here?"
"Oh?" Lin Dongjiu raised his eyebrows. He looked at the room and found that it had become much more crowded. Even the quilt covering Su Ruxue was light pink.
He had just been focusing on healing Su Ruxue's injuries, but he didn't pay attention to these details.
"Okay then..." Lin Dongjiu shrugged.
Su Ruxue raised her head: "What? It sounds like you are not happy with your tone!"
Lin Dongjiu said quickly: "I'm happy, I'm so happy!"
"Hmph!"
Only then did Su Ruxue snort twice with satisfaction and said: "I have already made an agreement with Sister Ling'er, and she agrees that I will move here. I'm sorry that you don't dare to disagree!"
Mentioning Mu Ling'er, Su Ruxue's eye circles turned red again:
"Sister Ling'er left and went to Piaomiao Fairy Pond. She said... She said she might never come back again..."
"Ling'er..."
Lin Dongjiu murmured lightly. In fact, he already knew this fact, but he kept it in his heart and deliberately avoided the topic of Mu Linger.
But he didn't expect to be brought out by Su Ruxue, and his heart became heavy again.
Su Ruxue said quietly: "I can see that Sister Ling'er doesn't want to go to the Misty Fairy Pond at all.
Moreover, Sister Ling'er didn't know that you were actually still alive, so she left with sadness.
But Sister Ling'er is very strong, really very strong. She is obviously very sad and always secretly sheds tears alone, but she always comes to comfort me and tell me not to be sad.
Xiao Lin, Sister Ling'er misses you very much, she would be very happy if she knew you were still alive."
"..." Lin Dongjiu sighed softly.
Su Ruxue said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Lin... you must bring Sister Ling'er back!"
Lin Dongjiu nodded heavily and said with firm eyes: "Don't worry, I will definitely take her back, I will!"
Only then did Su Ruxue reveal a smile. Her face showed a tired look, and her eyelids sank unconsciously:
"Xiao Lin, I'm so tired. I want to take a nap first... When I wake up, you can tell me how you came out of the secret realm, okay..."
Lin Dongjiu stroked Su Ruxue's white hair distressedly:
"Okay! You have a good rest. I'm going to see the master. He doesn't know I'm back yet."
"Well..." Su Ruxue fell into a deep sleep, and the faint smile still hung on the corner of her mouth, not going away...
