Chapter 251 Dragon
After coming out of Bubulu, Lin Huan took Yaoyao along the mountain path to Yujingtai. Along the way, Yaoyao was like a cheerful little bird, chirping to Lin Huan about all the interesting things in Bubulu, such as how Qiqi remembered the wrong name of the herb again and how Changsheng cleverly reminded her, etc. Lin Huan listened with a smile on his face and responded from time to time.
The night deepened, and when they arrived at Yujing Terrace, the sky had completely darkened. The lights of Liyue Harbor below the mountain were bright, as if stars had fallen to the earth, and the lights intertwined into a beautiful picture.
As soon as I stepped into Yujing Terrace, I saw a familiar figure beside the stone table. It was Ganyu. Ganyu was probably taking a short break from work. She sat there quietly, looking at the lights below the mountain, as if she was thinking about something. Her iconic blue hair fluttered gently in the night, emitting a soft glow.
Yaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up, she let go of Lin Huan's hand and trotted over, shouting in a clear voice, "Sister Ganyu!"
Gan Yu was brought back to her senses by the sudden voice. Seeing that it was Yaoyao, a gentle smile appeared on her face. "Yaoyao, why did you come back so late?"
Yaoyao smiled happily and said, "I have been accompanying Qiqi in Bubulu. But, sister Ganyu, guess who I met?"
Ganyu smiled and reached out to rub Yaoyao's little head, then raised her head and her eyes met with the woman standing behind Yaoyao.
"Ah Huan, I heard from Grandma Ping that you were back. I didn't expect it to be true. You..." Gan Yu raised her head and slowly looked at Lin Huan's face. Seeing the gentle and calm smile on her face, she asked softly, "You, how are you doing now?"
After a short pause, she responded to Yaoyao's playful question, "Well, about your sister Ah Huan... I heard Grandma Ping mention it."
Lin Huan's smile deepened, her eyes filled with the joy of reunion. She stepped forward and said, "Ganyu, I'm doing pretty well. But you, you look tired, your work at Yuehai Pavilion must be very hard, right?" As she spoke, she gently patted Ganyu's shoulder, and this pat seemed to contain the power of comfort.
Yaoyao frowned, her eyes sparkling with cleverness, and she muttered softly, "Sister Huan, when you saw Changsheng in Bubulu just now, you didn't hide your emotions well. Don't think that I didn't see it~"
Gan Yu was startled for a moment after hearing Yaoyao's words, and then she smiled softly. Her eyes moved between Lin Huan and Yaoyao, and she raised her hand to touch Yaoyao's little head, signaling her to stay calm, and then she said softly to Lin Huan: "Ah Huan, as long as you feel everything is fine. I know you don't want us to worry, but don't force yourself to smile, understand?"
Hearing this, Lin Huan's smile paused slightly, and then slowly faded away. She turned and walked to the railing, her eyes cast towards the lighted Bubu House at the foot of the mountain and the lights all over the city, and pressed the railing with a little force, and spoke softly.
"Today... I went with the young master of Wangsheng Hall to meet her good friends Xingqiu and Chongyun. They are both very good children."
"Xingqiu... is an elegant and clever boy. He has a strong interest in books and his head is full of novel ideas. When he is with Chongyun, he always speaks wittily, and those words full of wisdom and humor make people laugh. Chongyun, although he is an exorcist, his integrity and simplicity are fully revealed in his words and deeds. The way they get along is very interesting. Xingqiu will tease Chongyun from time to time, and Chongyun will always respond with a serious face. That look is both cute and funny. The scene of them getting along... makes me feel familiar and kind. In addition, yes, I met Mr. Baishu, Changsheng and Qiqi in Bubulu. Qiqi still remembers me... because of Xiaolong's tail. But... Xiaolong has been sealed and is no longer It no longer exists... The past that I was familiar with has also disappeared like flowing water, and can never be found again. Only Changsheng still remembers what happened back then... Ganyu, I know Xiaolan, he has always remembered Qiqi, remembered her all his life... But I don't want Qiqi to remember the past. I don't want her to remember the child who always treated her as a good friend and missed her all his life... I don't want her to experience the pain of losing her forever and never being able to get her back. Similarly, I don't want to pursue the vague shadows of the past from those new children I met. It's not fair to them... They are unique themselves, and the memories of the past are also unique. I don't want to confuse the two."
After hearing what Lin Huan said, Gan Yu sighed softly, walked to Lin Huan and stood side by side with her.
"Ah Huan, I understand how you cherish the past. Xiaolong's death was a helpless matter. You made a choice for them without regrets. You had made your move and it was a done deal. When I heard Master Liuyun talk about this, I was really angry. I was angry at your self-willedness and at your disregard for yourself for them... Indeed, those whom you carefully protected have left you one after another due to the passage of time. These pains are not easy to let go. But you see, you went to see Xingqiu and Chongyun today, and you were with Master Hutao, and you also established new friendships between you. These new friendships are the real beauty of the present, just as you and the people in the past, and their memories, are as precious."
Yaoyao nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling, "Sister Huan, Yaoyao thinks so too! Yaoyao knows that Sister Huan also cherishes our friendship, which shows that our friendship is great. Moreover, although Qiqi may not understand it now, your concern for her is also a beautiful feeling. Just like what Ganyu said, our friendship is unique now, just like the memories of the past. Sister Huan should not only see what we have lost, but also see what we have now."
Lin Huan lowered his head slightly, thinking, "You are right. I was really happy when I was with them today. I just can't help but think about the past sometimes. I know it's wrong, and I will try my best to overcome it."
Ganyu gently patted Lin Huan's shoulder. "But Ah Huan, there's nothing wrong with reminiscing about the past, but don't let the shadow of the past obscure the sunshine of the present. Look at Xingqiu and Chongyun. Their friendship is full of vitality, and Hu Tao's enthusiasm also infects the people around them. They all come into your life with their sincerity, just like those beautiful memories slowly enter your heart."
Yaoyao took Lin Huan's hand, shook it gently, and said, "Yes, Sister Ganyu is right, Sister Huan. The relationship between you, Qiqi and Changsheng is really special. You don't want Qiqi to recall the past that may make her painful. This is obviously your love for Qiqi. Sister Huan is always so careful and thoughtful to her friends, and she always considers others first in everything. Yaoyao can understand Sister Huan's thoughts, but Yaoyao thinks this way. Qiqi is Yaoyao's best friend. Although Qiqi's memory is not very good, Yaoyao will always be with her. Even if she has to remind her for a lifetime, Yaoyao is willing! Yaoyao does not regret it. Maybe that gentleman... Mr. Xiaolan, he has similar ideas?
So, Sister Huan, you are surrounded by so many beautiful friendships, no matter they existed in the past or are new now, each friendship is extremely precious. "
