Ye Lang gave Edward a long look as if thinking hard. Perhaps he saw, hidden among Edwardâs simple words, the gentle language, was an emotion. The kind that wouldnât leave for the world!!
When Edward knew Kesha had disappeared, everyone else had already given up. Theyâd thought there wasnât any hope of getting Kesha back alive, and at the same time no one would risk their lives to venture deep into the jungle for her!
There were many vicious beasts lurking in the depths of the Aiâer forest. Even if everyone banded together to fight them, it would still be very dangerous. One or two people wouldnât stand a chance!
At the same time, even if the threat of these magical beasts didnât exist, how would you find a lone girl, Kesha, in this vast forestlands? The chances were already very low!!
Edward ignored everyoneâs warnings and objections, he didnât care if heâd be in danger. Determined, he forged towards the depths of the forest.
In short, after countless trials, he finally found Kesha and brought her safely out of the dangerous forest. Â Many people were very surprised by this result, and at the same time realised the relationship between both had changed.
In Edward and Keshaâs memoriesâŠ
It was a moonlit but still very scary night. A teenage girl was curled up within a hole in a tree. Her clothes were a little tattered as if torn by the branches.
The girl seemed to be waiting for someone because she was lightly muttering, âHeâll come for me! Heâll definitely come for me! We promised weâll never abandon each other. Heâd never abandon meâŠâ
Time passed very slowly. The fire at the foot of the tree slowly died downâŠ
The night grew colder, cold as ice. The girl was curled up so tight you wouldnât be able to tell what she looked like!
âKesha, KeshaâŠâ A teenage boy appeared. He gently shook her shoulders, trying to wake her.
âEdward⊠I knew youâd come!!â The girl wasnât fully awake when she immediately fell into his arms, her body shaking slightly- not from fear, but from emotion.
In the boyâs arms, the girl wasnât afraid. She felt inexplicably safe!!
The boy was stunned for a moment, then asked softly, âHow did you know Iâd come? We havenât talked in years.â
âI just knew. I knew youâd never abandon me! You havenât you talked to me these years? Did I do something wrong? Do you not like me anymore? Edward, Iâve been so afraid these years, afraid youâd never keep me company again. I like hanging out with youâŠâ said the girl curled up in his arms.
The girl didnât stop talking, slowly describing what she felt these few years, as if to make up for all the conversation theyâd lost.
The boy listened in silence. Heâd just realised how stupid he wasâŠ
He was lucky to remember their promise. If anyone went missing, theyâd make a special mark so the other person could find them!
That was a promise they made when they were very young. They were lost in the forest. Only a person who truly cared would remember a promise jokingly made such a long time ago!
âThen why would your Kesha want to have this matchmaking ceremony? Did you both fight?â asked Ye Lang after understanding his situation.
If their fire was re-ignited, then what was up with this matchmaking ceremony?
âThatâs becauseâŠâ Edward hesitated, then slowly said, âshe wants to use this method for her father to agree.â
âOh, I understand! Sheâs the judge so sheâd pick something youâre the best at, and help you cheat!â cried Ye Lang, pounding his fist.
ââŠHow did you understand so quickly? Youâre not a clueless anymore?!â Edward was speechless. He noticed Ye Lang was suddenly very sharp, to be understanding of his situation.
âWhen have I ever been clueless?â sulked Ye Lang, âNot only your skin turned black, your eyes turned black tooâŠâ
âCan you not talk about that?!â frowned Edward. He was struggling because of this problem!
âOkay, I wonât talk about it! Since you have Kesha, the head judgeâs help in cheating, why are you still so worried? You just need to show up!â
Ye Lang was very familiar with this situation. When he was the head judge, Zhen Xiaoyan passed because he wanted her to pass. No matter how dumb Zhen Xiaoyan was, heâd still find a way for her to pass.
âBecause of you! You made me black, so now I canât even pass the first test!!â whined Edward.
â???! What do you mean?â Ye Lang asked, puzzled. Would it affect anything?
âItâs a matchmaking ceremony. Theyâd first look at the person. If you canât even pass the âlooksâ test, then you donât even need to consider anything else!â
âI see⊠That doesnât matter. Just use whatever methods you used last time!â offered Ye Lang.
âWhat methods? What did I use⊠Fuck, do you really think I was ugly?â Edward didnât understand at first but soon understood. Ye Lang was suggesting that heâd have to look for a way to pass the test even if he wasnât black.
âYou werenât?â asked Ye Lang stupidly.
âYouâre the ugly one! As I said, Iâm very handsome- at least better-looking than you!!â Edward regarded Ye Lang. Although Ye Lang wasnât handsome, he had a friendly, down-to-earth quality. Not everyone would notice this though.
âPfft, Iâve never been good-looking, so that means you arenât much either!â said Ye Lang very straightforwardly.
ââŠâ Edward didnât expect Ye Lang to say that, he was momentarily speechless.
âLetâs forget about what I looked like. Do you have a way for me to get better? I know you have some weird medicine, and you know peculiar medical techniques. Help me settle this!! Even if itâs just temporary!!â said Edward after a while. During their journey, Ye Lang had once prescribed medicine for a very sick patient.
In his words: since he saw the person, might as well save him. He wasnât one of those people who wonât save a dying person, and it wasnât going to affect himself either. In reality, even if it did, heâd still save the patient.
Of course, that was someone he saw. He didnât deliberately seek out patients he couldnât see. There are so many people on Earth, heâll never treat them all!
The person he saved was a very pitiful orphan. He was so sick, he collapsed on the street! At the time, Ye Lang thought the orphan collapsed from hunger, so he brought some food over and gave him some gold coins.
