Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1146 (One Thousand One Hundred and Forty Six) Like a Lock

Tie Hongyan wanted to cry again, but she controlled herself and said with a smile: "But you waited for so long, and I actually came in from your room passage. Don't you think it's a pity?"

Wu Xunsheng said, "Not only do I not feel sorry, but I also feel at ease. You didn't encounter the kind of situation where you needed to quickly enter my main room, so you came in from my main room's passage. In my opinion, it is best if you don't encounter any emergency. In fact, when I did it, I thought of the possibility that you would not enter from the door between my main room and the inner residence. I even thought that when you walked through my main room's passage, you might pretend to be angry with me all the way, and you would make that look... for others to see. You can't use the things I prepared for you because you have a better situation, and I will... be happy for you. Thinking that what I made is something that can provide you with convenience in certain situations, I did it, which itself makes me feel very... very good. At least I know that if you encounter an emergency situation that requires... to enter my main room immediately, it will be more convenient and less risky when you want to come in, and I will feel much more comfortable. After saying this, do you still think that I might feel sorry?"

Tie Hongyan said: "You don't think it's a pity, but I do. I am very grateful to you, but I can't bear it. Do you know that I would feel very sorry for you for giving so much for me?"

Wu Xunsheng said: "I did that not only for you, but also for my heart... for my comfort. I also... I did it for myself. You don't need to feel sorry. I am... I am your companion in battle, and I will... I will always be like this."

Tie Hongyan wanted to continue his topic, but felt that if she continued, it would be more difficult for her not to cry, so she brought up the past, but did not suddenly bring up another topic so as not to make him feel abrupt. She smiled and said, "You are using the skills that Master taught us before."

Tie Hongyan's words reminded Wu Xunsheng of the time when he had learned various skills with her, including those related to locks, those related to making things with various materials, and so on... After the scenes of learning various skills with her quickly flashed through his mind, he once again remembered the scene of sunset on a certain day that had appeared in his mind before.

At that time, she and he were both only teenagers. That day, the two of them continued to learn knowledge and skills related to various locks from a master named Qin Huanhuan outdoors. When the sunset was in the sky, Tie Hongyan suddenly pointed to a cloud in the sky with her right hand and said, "Look at that, does it look like a lock?" Then she pointed to one of the locks on the table with her left hand and said, "This is it! Look, does it look like this lock?"

Wu Xunsheng looked up at the cloud that Tie Hongyan pointed at and said, "It looks like a word to me, the word 'heart'."

Qin Huanhuan looked at it and said, "It looks like both the lock and the character 'heart'."

"Lock up the heart?" Tie Hongyan said casually.

Qin Huanhuan looked at the other lock in her hand and said, "Lock up your heart? Haha, if a person locks up his heart and doesn't show what he is thinking, it will be difficult for others to know the secrets in that person's heart."
