Chapter 374: Watch the stars together
Chapter 374 Let’s watch the stars together
Under the starry sky, Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci sat on a rock and looked at the stars. A meteor passed by, and then three meteors streaked across the night sky. Gu Ci's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but make a wish.
Lu Zhiyuan turned his head to look at the girl under the moonlight, and suddenly remembered their first life, when Gu Ci and he sat on the roof and looked at the stars, and also saw shooting stars, and Gu Ci made a wish.
"What wish did you make?" Lu Zhiyuan asked. Under the moonlight, the girl's face was very gentle, which was what he liked.
Gu Ci smiled slyly, "I won't tell you!"
“If you tell me, maybe I can fulfill your wish.”
Gu Ci propped her head and thought for a long time. The evening wind blew her hairband, and Lu Zhiyuan could smell the fragrance of tuberose on her body. There were large pieces of tuberose planted in the temple, which was Gu Ci's favorite place.
Gu Ci said, "I hope Lu Zhiyuan can be free and unfettered."
Perhaps it was from then on that he fell in love with the girl. He was sent to the temple as a child and learned etiquette, music and responsibilities all day long. From a naughty and lively child, he became a rigid and restrained priest.
He knelt in the temple every day, listened to the wishes of others, and conveyed them to the priest.
Some people seek marriage, some seek wealth, some seek family harmony, and some seek official career. He has known since he was a child that people's hearts are selfish and want what they want for themselves. The selfless wish that he hears most often is what parents want for their children.
One day, he heard his mother's prayer, and she asked for him.
His mother prayed that he would go well in the temple, be healthy, and never make mistakes. He was very happy to be expelled from the temple. He was very happy when he thought that someone at home cared about him.
One day the eldest brother in the family got married, so he asked for a favor and went home to visit. The priest smiled and agreed. Lu Zhiyuan prepared gifts with joy and returned home happily. He thought he would be welcomed by his parents, brothers and sisters, and they would talk about their thoughts and pain of separation. Unexpectedly, his parents and brothers turned him away. They misunderstood that they had made a mistake and were expelled from the temple. Fearing that they would bring trouble to them, they disowned him and forced him to go back to plead for mercy, hoping that he would stay in the temple for life.
That year, Lu Zhiyuan was twelve years old.
He was confused, sad, and heartbroken. He clearly heard his mother praying for his health and safety, but why did he not want to acknowledge her? He was isolated from the house with a cart full of gifts.
The mother said that she wished him peace and health, hoping that he would stay in the temple forever.
Because of Lu Zhiyuan, the family's fortunes have improved. They were originally poor farmers, but now everyone is flattering them, and the government will provide facilities. The eldest brother has found a good job, his parents have been taken care of, and his sisters and younger brothers have a good future.
They all have a bright future, only he is trapped in darkness.
He was lonely all year round in the temple, with no one to accompany him, no one to take care of him when he was sick, and no one to bring him food when he was hungry. He could only talk to flowers and plants, and he was not allowed to have emotions or desires. He had to be a ruthless wooden man without desires.
That was the first time Lu Zhiyuan went home, and it was also the last time. From then on, he never thought about his family or had any delusions.
When he heard his mother praying for his safety and success again, he was indifferent.
Lu Zhiyuan hated the temple, which was the inner demon of his life. He tried every means to escape, but was bruised and bruised. He wanted to see the world outside of paradise, and did not want to be trapped in this small place.
No one asked him about his wishes, and his life was decided.
He hated this prison-like life.
Until Gu Ci fell like a star in his garden.
He had heard thousands of wishes. Everyone had selfish motives and desires, but this was the first time he heard someone selflessly just wanted him to be free. He had never even told Gu Ci that he hated this place. To struggle to escape.
But Gu Ci understands him. Lu Zhiyuan thought of the past and smiled softly. The girl's face in the memory was vivid and overlapped with the Gu Ci in front of him. Lu Zhiyuan asked, "Xiao Ci, what wish did you make?"
“I don’t want to tell you!”
“Tell me, maybe I can help you fulfill your wish.”
Gu Ci thought for a moment and smiled softly, "If your story is true, then I hope... you can be free."
Don’t be trapped in the past, trapped in the last life like me, unable to escape. Only those who have experienced it can empathize with that kind of pain, if his story is true.
Lu Zhiyuan has also been trapped in the past for hundreds of years and cannot escape.
Lu Zhiyuan was slightly startled. The emotions he had deliberately suppressed were burning and exploding like a volcano. Even if he suppressed an iceberg, he could not submerge the heat. Lu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and suddenly looked away, unable to look directly. Looking at Gu Ci's passionate eyes.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the starry sky is still the same.
She is still her!
Gu Ci looked at his forbearing and restrained profile, and said nothing, just looking up at the stars. It was really sad, she was all bruised, but if Meteor could only fulfill one wish, she actually made it to Lu Zhiyuan.
She just wanted to promise it to Lu Zhiyuan!
Lu Zhiyuan suppressed the hot emotions in his heart and said hoarsely, "It's late at night, let's go home."
“Okay!” Gu Ci said nothing more.
Jiang's house, Jiang Junlin just came out of the bathroom and saw someone sitting in the bedroom.
Ji Xun crossed his legs and leaned arrogantly on the sofa in his bedroom. His coat was hung casually beside him, as casually as a master. Jiang Junlin's room was cold and cool, with gray and white colors. It was simple but not simple. Burn with soothing sandalwood incense.
Jiang Junlin was slightly startled. An hour ago, Zhang Qiang told him that Ji Huan was outside. In fact, the night he came back, Ji Huan stayed outside all night. He also knew that, so he told Zhang Qiang to leave him alone.
He didn't expect that Ji Xun would be so bold as to climb through the window.
Neither of them spoke. Ji Huan seemed to be waiting for Jiang Junlin to expel him. This was his home, his parents, grandparents were all downstairs, and the slightest movement would alert them.
He didn't want to climb through the window either. When Jiang Junlin came back, he stayed overnight and wanted to see him, but he knew that once they met, they would have to talk about goodbye.
He was unwilling and resisted, dragging on day after day like an ostrich.
Today is the Lantern Festival. The eagerness to see him has finally overcome the sadness in my heart. Jiang Junlin has not contacted him during this period. Is he ready to break up?
Jiang Junlin looked at this familiar and overly beautiful face and walked over suddenly. When Ji Xun thought he wanted to beat him, Jiang Junlin leaned over.
Ji Huan's heart was beating like a drum, and his body and mind were heating up. Jiang Junlin put a hand into his thick hair.
They were like two wild beasts, constantly biting each other, like a deadly attack, trying to swallow each other's bones and blood into their stomachs. Fireworks exploded outside the window, and they couldn't cover up the beating of drums inside the house. heartbeat.
