Chapter 380: 0239 Everyone is contradictory (two in one)_2
Perhaps it’s because this is the place where she and Xu Chang’an met.
Hmm.
It was here that she first saw Xu Chang’an drifting from afar.
The scene of her anxiously jumping down, plunging into the water to bring him onto the island, is still vivid in her mind.
As the place of their encounter in this lifetime, how could she not like it here?
However, Yun Qian’s current mood is different from before, feeling there’s nothing interesting here, and even finding it somewhat glaring.
Because... Xu Chang’an said he detests reincarnation, so perhaps this encounter isn’t so good after all.
——
Xu Chang’an gazed at the majestic, boundless view, recalling his own Water Attribute talent, and couldn’t help but sigh, "The sea... Is this the ultimate form of water, the so-called sea that accepts hundreds of rivers, all streams return to their source, observing the sea from such a height... It truly is a different kind of taste."
"...The sea is very beautiful." Yun Qian nodded, but looked down at the tips of her embroidered shoes, not at the seascape she used to enjoy.
Countless rivers exist in the world, vast and mighty like water flowing through famous mountains and rivers.
There are also those that trickle without obstruction, where drops form streams, gurgling like a brook through rocks and grass, hiding in forests and mountain ravines, traveling where no one can reach, where even birds cannot fly.
For a drop of water, the best destination is likely to flow into the sea.
Yun Qian thought, since Xu Chang’an called her Water Cloud Body, then she is the water... Thus her destination should be the sea.
Then it’s simple, at this moment, the one who qualifies to be the lady’s destination, the one entitled to be called the sea, is this handsome young man before her.
To have a husband be the sea, she would be water.
So-called mind like a sea, contains all rivers.
However.
Even the vast sea could turn into mulberry fields, eventually, everything will dissipate, and so will the husband.
Perhaps in the end, everything will change appearance, change gender, change race and meet her... After thousands of years, even longer, eventually turning into water vapor and disappearing.
At that time, Miss Yun might return to the mountains and wait for the next return to the boundless sea.
Dust flying over the sea, just like this.
"..." Yun Qian’s knuckles turned white, feeling quite bad, thinking about one thing.
He dislikes reincarnation.
So the process of waiting carries a sense of guilt, knowing she did something wrong.
Thinking carefully, at this moment Miss Yun already lost most of her memories, it’s normal for her mind not to be sharp.
After all, he also said, the lady is quite charming when she’s silly.
"..."
Just then, Xu Chang’an suddenly turned around, seeing Yun Qian’s cool and elegant face, couldn’t help reaching out to touch it, murmuring, "I am truly the luckiest person in the world."
"So am I." Yun Qian nodded.
"Oh right." Xu Chang’an sighed helplessly, said, "Miss, you should know, I’m a contradictory person, right?"
"I know a bit." Yun Qian felt Xu Chang’an’s hand brush past the corner of her eye, her finger couldn’t help but tremble, but her face remained calm, "So what."
"I didn’t speak clearly just now." Xu Chang’an turned around, looking at the sea, said seriously, "I said I want to do everything in this lifetime, definitely not leave any regrets, so I don’t like the next life... But actually, I know myself, I do hope there’s a next life, with reincarnation."
"..." Yun Qian was startled, raising her head.
"If there really is reincarnation, wouldn’t I have the chance to meet Miss again in the next life, and the next-next life?" Xu Chang’an took a deep breath, "At that time, even if I become a Li Hua and follow you, I think I would be very happy."
Xu Chang’an spoke and then laughed at himself, "What am I saying... If in the next life I really reincarnate as a Li Hua, what sins did I commit in this life that I couldn’t even be a person... Eh? Li Hua?"
If Miss Yun were to become a Li Hua, he wonders if he could recognize her?
"Forget it, I won’t say anything more." Xu Chang’an shook his head, patting his face, "I’m truly spineless, scoffing at reincarnation while hoping for a next life, maybe everyone is like this."
"..." Yun Qian’s dark eyes trembled gently, finally settling on Xu Chang’an’s silhouette.
The lady gently exhaled a clear breath, closed her eyes.
Indeed, even though she had thought of this before, as long as Xu Chang’an said "I don’t like it" herself, she would still feel uneasy.
Upon reopening her eyes.
Compared to the sea, the husband is still more pleasing.
As long as he’s happy... It’s good.
——
Here, after Xu Chang’an reflected on himself, he shifted his gaze away from the boundless sea, thinking no matter how beautiful the sea is, it can’t compare to the eyes of his own lady.
He was about to turn around to look into Yun Qian’s eyes.
But as he turned, Xu Chang’an was struck as if by lightning, standing dumbfounded in place, the corners of his eyes widening.
"Miss?" Xu Chang’an rubbed his eyes.
"What’s wrong?" Yun Qian calmly looked at him.
"Miss... Are you very happy now?"
"Am I?"
"Yes."
Xu Chang’an nodded, looking at Yun Qian’s lips, said earnestly, "You’re smiling foolishly."
Yun Qian: "..."
The lady paused for a moment, then turned her head away with eyes closed, saying, "I’m not smiling foolishly."
"It’s an adorable silly smile, I like it very much." Xu Chang’an added.
"Is that so?" Yun Qian opened her eyes, admitting, "Hmm, I’m in a good mood."
"Is coming to the cliff to enjoy the view really that effective?" Xu Chang’an circled Yun Qian twice, himself surprised by this peculiar effect.
"Very much so." Yun Qian admitted.
A gentle breeze blew in from beyond the cliff, swaying Yun Qian’s black hair, just like her heart was touched.
She took a deep breath, contemplated for a while, then took steps forward, stopping in front of Xu Chang’an, and said, "You’re not unhappy, I... feel interested again."
Yun Qian’s words fell on his ears, making Xu Chang’an restrain himself from being tempted to act on her in the wild, instead he just asked, "What kind of interest."
"Drinking wine, Jade Dew, as you mentioned."
"Then let’s drink."
Although it seemed odd to be drinking Jade Dew Wine, something only available in Beisang City, with his lady on the island, he was not one to break a promise to Yun Qian.
As for what will happen after drinking.
Xu Chang’an didn’t think about it.
Even if this cliff is truly effective, he doesn’t want to see the lady unhappy again.
——
——
Outside the window, the snow scenery is vast; Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian returned to their room.
Xu Chang’an went to prepare wine.
Yun Qian, exerting a bit of effort, moved a small, low wine table to the center of the room, then sat down, placing one hand on the table, tapping with rhythm.
Not long after, Xu Chang’an came up with heated Jade Dew Wine and small dishes, also taking out two wine cups, saying, "Shall we just drink a little?"
"Hmm, just drink a little, I don’t want to get drunk." Yun Qian said, reaching out to grab the wine pot to pour for him, but Xu Chang’an shivered sharply, grabbing the Beautiful Jade Wine Pot ahead of Yun Qian, saying, "Let me do it."
Xu Chang’an still remembered, before falling asleep, the real Miss Yun pouring him wine.
Though enjoyable, Miss Yun’s words that "pouring wine and gentleness are both enjoyable but tiring" left him speechless even now.
Having had the wine pot taken away, Yun Qian glanced at Xu Chang’an, but said nothing, pushing the two wine cups forward.
Miss Yun felt her husband was very considerate.
Indeed, having already accidentally moved the table, her pouring wine now would waste energy, not able to last even a quarter of an hour.
A gentle flow of water, accompanied by the aroma of wine filled Yun Qian’s cup to eight parts.
Xu Chang’an’s movements were fluent and seamless in pouring wine.
The lady drank just as fluidly, quickly blushing.
Yun Qian became tipsy quickly.
Xu Chang’an enjoyed his drink thoroughly, taking the empty cup from Yun Qian’s hand, flicking it with his finger lightly.
A crisp sound echoed, Yun Qian looked up at him.
"Miss, do you want to listen to the lute? I can play a little." Xu Chang’an asked.
He wasn’t proficient with the lute, so he hadn’t played for Yun Qian before, but in a dream...he wasn’t afraid of embarrassment.
"The lute?" To Xu Chang’an’s surprise, Yun Qian shook her head.
With one hand resting on her flushed face, the other lowering to the ties of her dress at her waist, the girl murmured, "Next time, I don’t want to listen today."
