Chapter 404: Longing

Seeing that Bai Shu's surprise had not dissipated for a long time, Ye Taoling added: "But the name is no longer important. Whether it is Hongluan or Zhijia, as long as I can see her in my life, I will be satisfied."

Ye Taoling returned to the sand pit and lay down, looked at the stars in the sky and said indifferently: "My original name was not Ye Taoling, it was the name my master gave me later. This may represent a new life."

Ye Taoling missed her a little sad, and said, "It can be regarded as saying goodbye to everything that happened before!"

Bai Shu almost subconsciously asked: "What is your original name?"

Ye Taoling suddenly became a little shy, and a hint of blush flashed rapidly on her pale cheeks. She pulled Bai Shu's sleeves and gently spit out her original name in his ear.

Before today, even the Sword Sect leader only knew Ye Taoling's surname, and no one knew what her name was before she was named Ye Taoling.

Just as no one knows what Bai Shu's name was once, the world is just a stranger, and a title is not worthy of being told by outsiders.

There was nothing to say all night. When Ye Taoling woke up the next morning, the bonfire next to her was filled with firewood, and her body was covered with a single dress of Bai Shu. The talisman paper and bottles and jars in Bai Shu's arms were placed in the sand pit beside her, including Bai Shu's Mengli sword, but Bai Shu disappeared.

Ye Taoling quickly got up and stepped on the bonfire, shook a layer of dew on his body in the morning, used white sweaty clothes to cover his belongings, carried Meng Li in one hand, and stumbled out of the beach.

After walking a few steps, Ye Taoling saw Bai Shu walking towards him. Under the slightly red sunlight in the morning, Bai Shu was naked with his upper body. His angular muscle lines combined with his slightly white skin had a charm that made Ye Taoling blush and heartbeat. There was dew hanging between Bai Shu's hair. He smiled at Ye Taoling, "I went out and walked around. There was a small village not far away. We can stay for a few days temporarily."

Ye Taoling threw Bai Shu's clothes on him and said embarrassedly: "Hurry up and put on your clothes. In such cold weather, where are you like this?" Bai Shu smiled and put on her clothes in a few seconds. He supported Ye Taoling to leave two light footprints on the beach, and then disappeared on this quiet beach.

This small fishing village by the sea seems not to be attacked by the heavy rainstorm caused by the Ruins a few days ago. There is no hustle and bustle here. Only the end of the years are quiet. Bai Shu and Ye Taoling are staying at the home of a middle-aged couple. The couple is about forty years old, but they are old and have a pampered young son.

The couple was kind-hearted and made a room for Bai Shu and Ye Taoling to live in. They mistakenly regarded Ye Taoling and Bai Shu as husband and wife. Although they were simple in their words, when they talked about Bai Shu, they always called Ye Taoling, and they called Ye Taoling so shy that they hid in the room all day long and refused to come out.

These people in the fishing village are not cultivators, and most of them have never heard of Dongluo Sword Sect and Taixu Temple, but their attitude towards strangers is so enthusiastic and sincere. Perhaps as long as Bai Shu and Ye Taoling don’t leave, they can live in this small fishing village forever and even find a livelihood of their own.

Time flies for more than half a month, and Ye Taoling's injuries have healed under Bai Shu's careful care. During this period, Ye Taoling never mentioned going back to the Dongluo Sword Sect. She just lay beside the bed every day, staring blankly at the beautiful sunset as rouge, or asking Bai Shu to feed herself and eat an extra bowl of rice. She has never had such a leisurely time. She no longer practices swords in the morning, nor has she had to carry heavy shackles. Sometimes Ye Taoling doesn't even wash or get up, and she lets her long hair fluffy in a mess.

As the days passed, Ye Taoling's complexion became better and better. But when he heard the middle-aged couple say you are a man, he still couldn't help but blush. At that time, Ye Taoling was like a young girl who was ignorant of the world, rather than a master Ye Tao who was so powerful that he could destroy the city with one sword.

It was another long and quiet night. Bai Shu and Ye Taoling were lying side by side on the same bed. They could hear each other's breathing, but Mo Hai's brothers and feet did not touch each other.

The window was blown open by the sea breeze, and through the window cracks, you can faintly see some scattered fishing fires, swaying in the darkness, flashing with hazy light. The moonlight was almost silent, and the sky above the sea surface showed a dark white like a snowy night.

Ye Taoling was already asleep, and her even breathing sounded in Bai Shu's ears, with a faint fragrance of peach blossoms. Bai Shu sighed in the darkness, and his voice soon disappeared into Ye Taoling's rhythmic breathing.

Bai Shu stood up gently, put on his clothes and shoes, and closed the gaps in the window. The slight light suddenly disappeared as the window closed. There was a rustling sound of Bai Shu's movements in the room, but more of it was infinite tranquility.

Bai Shu took out a pile of drawn talisman paper from his body, and there was a piece of Yuan characters he had just drawn recently. He put the talisman paper next to Ye Taoling's pillow and gently pressed Meng Li on the talisman paper. Bai Shu stood silently in the dark, without saying a word, and still motionless. He looked at Ye Taoling's sleeping face, and he could only see a little outline, but that did not affect Bai Shu's perception of Ye Taoling's beauty. Her eyebrows, eyes and lips had already been deeply engraved in Bai Shu's heart.

Bai Shu stretched out his hand, trying to touch Ye Taoling's cheek under the cover of darkness. His hand had just reached out and stopped stiffly in the air. Then Bai Shu turned around and left, leaving resolutely.

But just as Bai Shu turned around and left, with a bang, Bai Shu's wrist was caught directly. He turned his back to Ye Taoling, and his steps to leave stopped with the restraint of his wrist. Bai Shu did not turn around, he could feel the burning temperature and powerful force from his wrist.

At this moment, both of them knew that tonight was a real separation. They did not resist the lingering, and there should not be any entanglement. But neither of them spoke stubbornly. Bai Shu clearly felt that the hand holding his wrist had increased the strength in silence, and he held Bai Shu's wrist tightly like an iron clamp, making him unable to move at all.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and Bai Shu gritted his teeth and suddenly tried to shake Ye Taoling's hand away, but Ye Taoling grabbed Bai Shu even tighter. In the thick darkness, Ye Taoling also heard Ye Taoling's crying whisper: "Don't leave!"

It was at this moment, and at this moment, Bai Shu felt that his iron heart was burned into lava, which was very hot, making Bai Shu feel heartbroken.

If Bai Shu hadn't chosen to leave tonight, perhaps Ye Taoling would have been immersed in the beautiful dream woven by this fishing village, a place where you can live for a long time, a place where no one can find it, and no one knows each other. A place where Bai Shu can abandon everything and choose to stay.

Ye Taoling couldn't think of the reason why Bai Shu left this room tonight was the woman who had a engagement with Bai Shu? Or the hatred that Bai Shu once said in a vague way? Or the seat of Taixu Guanguanzhu? Ye Taoling couldn't figure out what was there at this moment that could compare himself to himself. At this moment, he was lying beside him, exhaling as unprepared as orchid.

Bai Shu's tense body gradually relaxed suddenly. He suddenly sat on the ground, leaning against the bed, holding his hands with Ye Taoling's hands, and his head was against Ye Taoling's head. The two of them couldn't see each other, and they leaned against their heads and held hands, but they had the illusion that they were so close to each other.

"I really should leave." Bai Shu said helplessly. The warmth he gave Ye Taoling was not small, but Bai Shu could not completely leave Dong Se and ignored it. She was with Ye Taoling in a unclear way.

After grabbing Bai Shu's hand, Ye Taoling seemed to be much calmer. She said self-deprecatingly: "I have never liked such a village so much. I have even been thinking about it these days that many years later, you and I are still here. When you go fishing in the sea, I will do housework at home and take care of your husband and children..."

Ye Taoling didn't continue to talk about this. No matter how many beautiful fantasies there were, they were just fantasies. But no matter what, Ye Taoling really fantasized that if there was a day when she was willing to give up everything in the world, and lived in seclusion here with Bai Shu, and became a fisherman and fish man on the East Sea. She was hiding her identity until her hair was gray. At that time, she was willing to lean on Bai Shu's shoulder and watch the gorgeous sunset at the beach with him.

Bai Shu's eyes were a little wet, and Ye Taoling's fantasy seemed to be the most beautiful scene in the world. Bai Shu had many thoughts because of her words, such as the scene of fisherman singing in the night and teaching children together. Each picture was so clear and colorful.

Ye Taoling might have noticed Bai Shu's strangeness at this moment. She suddenly trembled in her voice and asked with great sincerity: "Stay here with me, just me and you, for a lifetime!" The four words of life and life were bitten extremely clearly by Ye Taoling's words, and every word was stabbed into Bai Shu's heart like a sharp knife.

Bai Shu closed his eyes in pain and replied after a long time: "I have someone I can't let down in this life..."

Ye Taoling suddenly laughed, took Bai Shu's words and said, "So you are destined to let me down in this life."

The atmosphere became stagnant at this moment, but Ye Taoling still did not let go of Bai Shu's hand. Her breathing was a little rapid, but she still said calmly: "Then go and tell her clearly, you want to be with me!"

Bai Shu thought of Dong Se at this moment, and the sentence "If the love between two people lasted for a long time, how could it be day and night?" He could probably guess how much Dong Se looked forward to seeing him, but he couldn't imagine what Dong Se would look like when facing his mercilessness.

Perhaps this cannot be called a betrayal, it is a defilement of the relationship between the two.
