Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1147 Sunset

This scene appeared in front of Wu Xunsheng's eyes again and again. He lay on the bed in the master room and glanced at the ceiling of the room, as if he saw the sunset of that day many years ago.

Wu Xunsheng, who was lying on the bed, thought at this moment: For so many years, you actually locked your heart. Just like Master Qin said, it is difficult for others to know the secrets in your heart. You yourself have silently endured so much, and others cannot understand it. However, I am special. I actually learned some situations through the detection technique. In this way, have I opened the lock of your heart? It seems... it seems not, after all, even the part I know is not told to me by you. Are you willing to tell me? If you tell me, will you feel more relaxed? Should I be glad that I am the one who knows those situations of yours? Because I will help you sincerely. Or... should I feel regretful? After all, I don’t know how long I can live... Do you still remember the day many years ago when you said you locked your heart? We learned a lot together that day. I remember, however, I still remember that when you said it was like a lock and I said it was like the word "heart", it was already sunset...

Thinking of this, Wu Xunsheng's eyes became wet again, and he asked, "Do you still remember the time many years ago when we...learned those skills together?"

"Remember." Tie Hongyan said. At this time, she found that Wu Xunsheng seemed a little sad, which made her want to cry even more, but she still didn't show anything.

"Do you remember one night...a night with sunset in the sky, when we were learning together, you...you pointed to a cloud in the sky and said it looked like a lock, and I said it looked like the word 'heart'?" Wu Xunsheng said.

Tie Hongyan's thoughts drifted back to that day many years ago, and he said, "Remember it. It was such a long time ago, yet you still remember it so clearly."

Wu Xunsheng said: "Yes, I still remember what you said next and what Master Qin said. You said 'lock up your heart?' Then Master Qin repeated your words, smiled, and then said: 'If a person locks up his heart and doesn't show what he thinks, it will be difficult for others to know the secrets in that person's heart.'"

When Tie Hongyan heard the word "secret", she thought of the time when Wu Xunsheng mentioned her ideal and what Tie Jinjue said to her after he found out. She was startled and decided to change the subject quickly, so she said, "You remember it so carefully! I can't remember the rest. But I remember some other things very clearly, such as the time when we learned how to install a lock on a door from Master Qin. When he was about to install it for us to see, he suddenly couldn't find the lock he wanted to install. After searching for a while, he found that it was actually in his pocket. That was because Master Qin wanted to use both hands to get all the things he needed to the door at once. At that time, the lock occupied one of his hands, so he put the lock in his pocket, and then he forgot that he had put it in his pocket. I remember this clearly, right?"

Wu Xunsheng said: "Yes, you remember this very clearly, and I remember it very clearly too. I also remember that you and I helped Master Qin find the lock together at that time."

Tie Hongyan thought that the topic had been changed, and he felt a little relieved, and said, "Yes, you and I will look under the table."
