There was no more sound coming from the other end, and the "beep" and "beep" sounds indicated the termination of the call.

Fine.

The boy curled his lips.

Go ahead and wait, you won’t die from waiting.

He put the jade sign back into his pocket and looked back at Dan Feng.

"It's done, go on."

The young man took a step forward, but there was no figure following him. He turned his head back and saw the Dragon Girl standing there, staring at him silently.

"You still say you're tired of walking?"

An Jing raised his eyebrows.

After a while, Dan Feng's emotionless voice slowly rang out: "You can go back directly and don't keep me waiting anxiously."

The young man sneered: "Don't say such critical words."

He was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he turned his head and continued walking forward, not caring whether the dragon girl would catch up with him or not.

Dan Feng looked at his gradually receding back and pursed her lips.

She slowly covered her heart, feeling as if there was a fire burning slowly inside, not very strong, but never going out, emitting an uncomfortable depression.

She let out a light breath and stretched her hand out from under the umbrella. The drizzle that had been falling had stopped at some point. No wonder the boy left so easily. He no longer needed the umbrella that she had helped him hold.

"Can we stop being so hypocritical?"

The young man not far away finally stopped and looked back at her with some impatience on his face.

That impatience made Dan Feng's mood uncontrollably worse, but it also brought a sense of security.

There is no change, he is still himself.

It's always so...irritating.

There is no mirror here, so Dan Feng cannot see her own expression, but she feels that her expression must be extremely strange.

It was just like her mood, as if countless different kinds of paint were poured into the same bucket and mixed, eventually becoming a pool of black where no one could tell what was mixed.

She thought she should just turn around and leave.

But the feet seemed to have their own ideas. They were stimulated by the depressed mood in the chest and moved on their own.

The dragon girl finally followed the boy in silence.

They continued to walk on the earth.

Still no verbal conversation.

Rather, the atmosphere became even more tense.

At least just now, before the phone call, Dan Feng would frown in dissatisfaction when the boy missed some places, and when he saw some places that were still vivid in his memory and remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth would faintly curl up.

But now, he was completely silent, and his expression no longer changed in the slightest.

An Jing saw this change and sighed in his heart, but he was not prepared to do anything.

The night is getting darker.

It's not a good time to travel.

Because of the rain, the floors in many places were wet. If you stepped on them carelessly you would stir up mud and dirty your clothes. So there were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and even some night markets were not as lively.

As for those places that are not prosperous, they are even more quiet, very different from before, and none of the former flavor is left.

There is no way to avoid this, after all, there are only a few people who come out late at night.

Time moves along with them, stepping on their footprints.

The night was at its deepest.

They walked on the plain, surrounded by the rustling sound of the wind and the chirping of insects, and the grass on the ground was higher than the boy's knees.

The stars and moon are bright and clear, and the bright river is in the sky.

There was no human voice, the sound was among the trees.

Dan Feng remembers this place clearly.

They had come here together to see the gorgeous sea of ​​flowers.

At that time, this was not the lonely and boring night. In that afternoon, they melted into the fragrance of flowers, faced the bright sunshine, and were surrounded by those colorful colors. Everything was so beautiful and so comfortable, making people feel how nice it would be if time could stay in that afternoon.

And now, all that's left here is this boring, unchanging green.

She knew it was because of the season. When the time came, they would turn into colors and bloom with amazing beauty.

But seeing things reminds me of people.

The dragon girl didn't know how many times she had fixed her gaze on the boy's back.

If they could have met in the right "season"... would things have turned out the way they are now?

There were a few faint chirping sounds of insects in the air, but that was not an answer and had no meaning.

It's too late.

The bitterness in my heart is like a row of dominoes falling with no end, one after another, more and more.

After walking through this grassland and two more caves, you will reach the end of this journey - the Scaled Abyss Realm.

It was also the end of her childhood love.

This last section of the road seemed particularly long. At the end, the inky sky seemed to be confused by water and became lighter, until a ray of light appeared on the line where the ground and the sky met.

They stood at the edge of the ancient sea.

In front of him was a half-man-high stone guardrail, and the sun shone through the transparent air and flew across the dark blue sky. On the sea where the darkness had not yet receded, a hundred thousand candles were burning.

"It seems like this is the first time I've watched the sunrise with you."

The young man put his hands in his pockets, looking into the distance with a calm expression.

He was looking at the scenery, and he was also the scenery in her eyes.

Dan Feng stood to his side, about half a body length away, staring at the boy quietly.

"You were never willing to send me back before, and you wanted me to go alone when we were still in Xincai Street."

"I'm doing that for your own good. I hope you can become independent as soon as possible."

"Like now?"

"It's good that you understand me."

An Jing's mouth curled up slightly, and his expression looked somewhat complacent, as if he had done something extraordinary.

Under normal circumstances, Dan Feng would have definitely scolded him, but as he looked at the boy's profile, the harsh words could not come out of his mouth.

How she wished that the sea in her heart could be as calm as the ancient sea in front of her, but countless waves of depression were stirring in her heart, making it impossible for her to control her emotions.

How ridiculous! The Dragon Girl could create huge waves of a hundred meters high on the sea in front of her, and could also calm it easily. However, she had no way to deal with the sea in her heart and could only drift with the tide helplessly and confusedly.

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end here. The young man looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking. Dan Feng stared at him in a daze, but his thoughts were easy to guess.

"So be it."

An Jing spoke softly.

"You are not the type to compromise, but I can't possibly give up Jingliu and the others."

"I know."

Dan Feng answered, his voice just as light.

She thought it was time for her to leave.

If it hadn't been for that phone call, she might have done so.

The depression in Dan Feng's heart did not dissipate. It surged and once again disrupted her rationality.

The dragon girl suddenly shifted her gaze away from the young man, took a step forward, held onto the railing, and pursed her lips.

She said stubbornly.

"I didn't lose."

Volume 1: Chapter 112: The child is ignorant and plays with his clothes off.

An Jing turned his head to look at her, their eyes met, but then separated in an instant.

The boy sighed.

"It's not about winning or losing..."

"At best, it can be considered as... destiny."

Dan Feng looked down at the patterns on the railing, his fingers almost embedded in the building materials.

"It's fate but not destiny..."

She repeated these four words softly.

What a cruel word.

No matter how unwilling you are, no matter how reluctant you are, it can all be compressed into these four words and passed over lightly.

"If I had met you first..."

The dragon girl murmured to herself.

She couldn't say the rest of the words, because even she felt that only a loser who was unwilling to admit reality would think that way.

But she really felt that if she had met the boy first, or even not before, if only they hadn't missed those blank years of separation, she would be the one who could truly be together with the boy.

She is not reconciled.

......But what can I do no matter how unwilling I am?

Dan Feng's eyes were dazed and he let out a long sigh.

She is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate sharing her loved one with others like Jingliu does.

It's ridiculous.

The scene at that time could not help but reappear in my mind, bringing back some feelings of irritability and shame.

"It's a pity there is no if."

The boy smiled.

"Nine out of ten things in life are not what you want them to be."

The star emitting warm light finally broke free from the shackles of the night, bringing light. An Jing turned around and took a step forward.

"I can only advise you to look forward."

The dragon girl looked at his back and suddenly said: "I may never fall in love with another person in this life."

After she said this, her expression suddenly became stunned, and she was surprised at how she could not help but say this.

"..."

The young man did not stop or even look back. He just stretched out his right hand and waved it twice like a lucky cat.

"I wish you happiness."

He just left those words and walked away without looking back.

Dan Feng stared at him blankly until his figure condensed into a small black dot and disappeared into the blending horizon and could no longer be seen. Then he turned around in disappointment and lowered his head.

Her heart was finally as calm as the ancient sea before her.

All emotions melted into the ocean called emptiness, and finally everything returned to calm.

............

......

Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, An Jing couldn't help but sigh again.

What should I do if I don’t want to go in the groove?
