Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2320 (Two Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty) Expression
Tie Jinjue lowered his head slightly and continued, "However, even if it is really almost the same, it will never be the same. Gong Hunyu, Qi Shuojin... these things were brought up and taken down again, and the top floor of Muxi Pavilion seemed to have returned to the way it was before they were brought up, but... year after year, the changes brought about by time can never be reversed. Many things in the world... people... things... objects... cannot be retained."

Tie Hongyan heard Tie Jinjue sighing and thought that he must be missing his relatives who had passed away, so he comforted him: "In fact, there are always some who can stay, right?"

Tie Jinjue thought about how he had used the Bipolar Flash beside the Qixing Zuiren Pavilion, and knew that he would soon become a person who could not be retained in the world. His heart was in turmoil. Suddenly, when he heard Tie Hongyan say this, he remembered that he had actually had a similar idea all along.

He always believed that some things in the world would always be there, but he also knew that some things could not be kept. Sometimes he would think of the former, and sometimes he would think of the latter. This was not contradictory, it just depended on his mood at the time.

Seeing Tie Hongyan looking at him seriously when she said that, he suddenly remembered the way her sister Tie Jinqi used to talk to him seriously. They felt they were very similar, and he seemed to see Tie Jinqi at that moment.

At this time, Tie Jinjue thought: Yes, Hongyan is right. I can't keep Jinqi in this world, but I can keep the expression of Jinqi looking at me seriously. Many years later, I saw the expression of Jinqi when he was talking seriously on Hongyan's face.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Tie Hongyan continue: "Some people have indeed left, such as my grandma, but she is still alive in your uncle's heart, right? Although she is no longer in this world, she is still your relative. Although you can't see her, you may actually be living with her shadow. That shadow may be the way you do things, or a certain expression of yours... When you do things, you can think of what she once said to you, and some of her spirit is also closely related to your spirit. Is that right?"

Tie Jinjue was deeply touched when he heard Tie Hongyan say, "That shadow may be the way you do things, or it may be a certain expression of yours." He had just seen a serious expression on Tie Hongyan's face similar to that of Tie Jinqi, and then he heard her say this, which strengthened his sense of identification with her words.

He nodded immediately and said, "Yes, it really is..."

He thought about the fact that he would soon leave this world, and when Tie Hongyan said, "When you are doing something, you can think of what she said to you," he asked, "Hongyan, when you are doing something, you will think of what I said to you from time to time, right?"

When Tie Hongyan heard this, he was startled at first, thinking: What is my uncle asking? I was clearly talking about my deceased relatives. My uncle is my relative, a living relative. Why would he ask this?
When Tie Hongyan was doing things, she would naturally think of what Tie Jinjue had said from time to time, but she felt that she could not answer such questions since they were talking about deceased relatives, so she casually said, "Uncle, I am sitting here now, which does not count as doing anything, right?"

Tie Jinjue suddenly realized that the question he asked before was too abrupt.
