He jumped up as if he was so happy that he couldn't sit still. He walked back and forth in the narrow room several times, turned to look at me again, his eyes curled up, and countless lights flashed in his eyes.

He walked over and sat next to me, and said softly: "I made a long-lived lock for Li'er in the town, and I can get it tomorrow. Then, I will prepare some things and wait until your body is better to recuperate, and then we will go west. I found out several academies, so let's go and take a look first."

"Um."

"When the weather gets warmer, we'll set off!"

Looking at the almost-lit smile on his face, I slowly reached out to wrap my hand around his neck and hugged him hard.

I felt the man stiff for a moment and his breathing seemed to become cramped. Instead, I relaxed and gently pressed my cheek against his shoulder. I felt the warm body temperature coming from his clothes, and smiled: "Okay, let's go together!"

...

Almost with such a dream, I accidentally slept well and was very stable this night. I seemed to have a very long dream. Although I woke up, I couldn't remember what I had in the dream at all, it seemed that it was also a very long and good dream.

The next day, Liu San'er took Li'er to the town and took the long-lived lock he had made. And I was alone at home and had already started to pack up some small things.

But just as I was doing these little things with almost hope, the door was knocked again.

Outside the door, the familiar servants were still expressionless and cold, and said to me respectfully: "Madam, please come to the mansion to talk to me."

In an instant, all the warmth and warmth that remained in the dream disappeared at this moment.

I paused for a moment before folding the thin shirt that Liu Saner didn't wear often and put it on the stack of clothes that had been folded on the bed. Then I turned around and walked to the door and said softly: "Let's go."

Along the way, I didn't say a word, just listening to the monotonous sound of the wheels of the carriage bumping on the bluestone road, and the sound of the wind, I lifted the curtain from time to time, threw a cold blade into it, stabbing me in the carriage again.

By the time we arrived at the familiar manor, the sky was already gloomy as if night had fallen.

I looked up and looked at the dark clouds and under the dark clouds. This manor, which was more silent than usual, seemed to have been cleared up in many places, and there were many fewer servants. No matter how I looked at it, it brought a sense of silence that was about to leave the building empty.

The attendant stood at the door and made a gesture inside.

"Madam, please."

I walked in slowly.

Just like every day in the past, the man was still wearing a pitch-black robe and sat quietly by the table. But for some reason, although the weather is colder today and the wind is cold, his clothes look a little thin, as if he can't feel the cold at all. The corners of his clothes lifted by the wind swayed gently, making him look like a black haze.

But I don’t know when he will swallow everything around him.

Devour me too.

One of his hands was quietly placed on the table. Unlike usual, the table was not exquisite dishes or exquisite refreshments, but a pot of wine and two cups.

The silence in the manor and his strangeness made me more and more frightened and stood motionless in the cold wind.

"Come in."

He suddenly spoke, his voice was low and calm, and he could not hear any temperature, but I shivered and subconsciously took a step back.

He said again: "Come in."

“…”

Finally, I slowly walked in.

I stood quietly and said, "Sit down."

“…”

He slowly walked to the opposite side of him and sat down.

The white marble round cup placed in front of me was crystal clear, like an ice sculpture. The amber wine slowly poured in, and it seemed to condense into ice. He raised the cup of amber light and drank it all as soon as he raised his head. It seemed a little spicy. His brows frowned slightly, and a princess sound came out of his throat.

However, it did not stop.

Pour a glass, drink a glass, and there was only the sound of pouring wine and drinking in the whole hall, and I just sat in front of him and watched him drink glass by glass.

I can’t count how much he has drunk. I even think that he might be drunk. Suddenly, he stopped for a while, without looking up, and just said, “I’m going back to Beijing.”

“…”

My heart suddenly jumped, and I subconsciously raised my head to look at him.

He also slowly raised his eyes and looked at me.
