Perhaps itās because this is the place where she and Xu Changāan met.
Hmm.
It was here that she first saw Xu Changāan drifting from afar.
The scene of her anxiously jumping down, plunging into the water to bring him onto the island, is still vivid in her mind.
As the place of their encounter in this lifetime, how could she not like it here?
However, Yun Qianās current mood is different from before, feeling thereās nothing interesting here, and even finding it somewhat glaring.
Because... Xu Changāan said he detests reincarnation, so perhaps this encounter isnāt so good after all.
āā
Xu Changāan gazed at the majestic, boundless view, recalling his own Water Attribute talent, and couldnāt help but sigh, "The sea... Is this the ultimate form of water, the so-called sea that accepts hundreds of rivers, all streams return to their source, observing the sea from such a height... It truly is a different kind of taste."
"...The sea is very beautiful." Yun Qian nodded, but looked down at the tips of her embroidered shoes, not at the seascape she used to enjoy.
Countless rivers exist in the world, vast and mighty like water flowing through famous mountains and rivers.
There are also those that trickle without obstruction, where drops form streams, gurgling like a brook through rocks and grass, hiding in forests and mountain ravines, traveling where no one can reach, where even birds cannot fly.
For a drop of water, the best destination is likely to flow into the sea.
Yun Qian thought, since Xu Changāan called her Water Cloud Body, then she is the water... Thus her destination should be the sea.
Then itās simple, at this moment, the one who qualifies to be the ladyās destination, the one entitled to be called the sea, is this handsome young man before her.
To have a husband be the sea, she would be water.
So-called mind like a sea, contains all rivers.
However.
Even the vast sea could turn into mulberry fields, eventually, everything will dissipate, and so will the husband.
Perhaps in the end, everything will change appearance, change gender, change race and meet her... After thousands of years, even longer, eventually turning into water vapor and disappearing.
At that time, Miss Yun might return to the mountains and wait for the next return to the boundless sea.
Dust flying over the sea, just like this.
"..." Yun Qianās knuckles turned white, feeling quite bad, thinking about one thing.
He dislikes reincarnation.
So the process of waiting carries a sense of guilt, knowing she did something wrong.
Thinking carefully, at this moment Miss Yun already lost most of her memories, itās normal for her mind not to be sharp.
After all, he also said, the lady is quite charming when sheās silly.
"..."
Just then, Xu Changāan suddenly turned around, seeing Yun Qianās cool and elegant face, couldnāt help reaching out to touch it, murmuring, "I am truly the luckiest person in the world."
"So am I." Yun Qian nodded.
"Oh right." Xu Changāan sighed helplessly, said, "Miss, you should know, Iām a contradictory person, right?"
"I know a bit." Yun Qian felt Xu Changāanās hand brush past the corner of her eye, her finger couldnāt help but tremble, but her face remained calm, "So what."
"I didnāt speak clearly just now." Xu Changāan turned around, looking at the sea, said seriously, "I said I want to do everything in this lifetime, definitely not leave any regrets, so I donāt like the next life... But actually, I know myself, I do hope thereās a next life, with reincarnation."
"..." Yun Qian was startled, raising her head.
"If there really is reincarnation, wouldnāt I have the chance to meet Miss again in the next life, and the next-next life?" Xu Changāan took a deep breath, "At that time, even if I become a Li Hua and follow you, I think I would be very happy."
Xu Changāan spoke and then laughed at himself, "What am I saying... If in the next life I really reincarnate as a Li Hua, what sins did I commit in this life that I couldnāt even be a person... Eh? Li Hua?"
If Miss Yun were to become a Li Hua, he wonders if he could recognize her?
"Forget it, I wonāt say anything more." Xu Changāan shook his head, patting his face, "Iām truly spineless, scoffing at reincarnation while hoping for a next life, maybe everyone is like this."
"..." Yun Qianās dark eyes trembled gently, finally settling on Xu Changāanās silhouette.
The lady gently exhaled a clear breath, closed her eyes.
Indeed, even though she had thought of this before, as long as Xu Changāan said "I donāt like it" herself, she would still feel uneasy.
Upon reopening her eyes.
Compared to the sea, the husband is still more pleasing.
As long as heās happy... Itās good.
āā
Here, after Xu Changāan reflected on himself, he shifted his gaze away from the boundless sea, thinking no matter how beautiful the sea is, it canāt compare to the eyes of his own lady.
He was about to turn around to look into Yun Qianās eyes.
But as he turned, Xu Changāan was struck as if by lightning, standing dumbfounded in place, the corners of his eyes widening.
"Miss?" Xu Changāan rubbed his eyes.
"Whatās wrong?" Yun Qian calmly looked at him.
"Miss... Are you very happy now?"
"Am I?"
"Yes."
Xu Changāan nodded, looking at Yun Qianās lips, said earnestly, "Youāre smiling foolishly."
Yun Qian: "..."
The lady paused for a moment, then turned her head away with eyes closed, saying, "Iām not smiling foolishly."
"Itās an adorable silly smile, I like it very much." Xu Changāan added.
"Is that so?" Yun Qian opened her eyes, admitting, "Hmm, Iām in a good mood."
"Is coming to the cliff to enjoy the view really that effective?" Xu Changāan circled Yun Qian twice, himself surprised by this peculiar effect.
"Very much so." Yun Qian admitted.
A gentle breeze blew in from beyond the cliff, swaying Yun Qianās black hair, just like her heart was touched.
She took a deep breath, contemplated for a while, then took steps forward, stopping in front of Xu Changāan, and said, "Youāre not unhappy, I... feel interested again."
Yun Qianās words fell on his ears, making Xu Changāan restrain himself from being tempted to act on her in the wild, instead he just asked, "What kind of interest."
"Drinking wine, Jade Dew, as you mentioned."
"Then letās drink."
Although it seemed odd to be drinking Jade Dew Wine, something only available in Beisang City, with his lady on the island, he was not one to break a promise to Yun Qian.
As for what will happen after drinking.
Xu Changāan didnāt think about it.
Even if this cliff is truly effective, he doesnāt want to see the lady unhappy again.
āā
āā
Outside the window, the snow scenery is vast; Xu Changāan and Yun Qian returned to their room.
Xu Changāan went to prepare wine.
Yun Qian, exerting a bit of effort, moved a small, low wine table to the center of the room, then sat down, placing one hand on the table, tapping with rhythm.
Not long after, Xu Changāan came up with heated Jade Dew Wine and small dishes, also taking out two wine cups, saying, "Shall we just drink a little?"
"Hmm, just drink a little, I donāt want to get drunk." Yun Qian said, reaching out to grab the wine pot to pour for him, but Xu Changāan shivered sharply, grabbing the Beautiful Jade Wine Pot ahead of Yun Qian, saying, "Let me do it."
Xu Changāan still remembered, before falling asleep, the real Miss Yun pouring him wine.
Though enjoyable, Miss Yunās words that "pouring wine and gentleness are both enjoyable but tiring" left him speechless even now.
Having had the wine pot taken away, Yun Qian glanced at Xu Changāan, but said nothing, pushing the two wine cups forward.
Miss Yun felt her husband was very considerate.
Indeed, having already accidentally moved the table, her pouring wine now would waste energy, not able to last even a quarter of an hour.
A gentle flow of water, accompanied by the aroma of wine filled Yun Qianās cup to eight parts.
Xu Changāanās movements were fluent and seamless in pouring wine.
The lady drank just as fluidly, quickly blushing.
Yun Qian became tipsy quickly.
Xu Changāan enjoyed his drink thoroughly, taking the empty cup from Yun Qianās hand, flicking it with his finger lightly.
A crisp sound echoed, Yun Qian looked up at him.
"Miss, do you want to listen to the lute? I can play a little." Xu Changāan asked.
He wasnāt proficient with the lute, so he hadnāt played for Yun Qian before, but in a dream...he wasnāt afraid of embarrassment.
"The lute?" To Xu Changāanās surprise, Yun Qian shook her head.
With one hand resting on her flushed face, the other lowering to the ties of her dress at her waist, the girl murmured, "Next time, I donāt want to listen today."
