Chapter 183: We are both fallen people at the end of the world
Perhaps Yunyi in this comic is the same Lu He who was toyed with in the past.
She looked at Yunyi's helpless state and her devastated expression, and she was too familiar with the pain of being stabbed in the heart by the person she loved most.
It might take her a very long time to get over it. Lu He only slowly recovered from the pain of that time after she turned thirty.
Yunyi grabbed Lu He's sleeve: "Qinwu, you know Qingyu, don't you? Judging from your expression, do you know her?" Her tone was almost pleading: "Please, let me see her again. I want to ask her face to face... I'm not reconciled..."
Lu He understood this feeling. The reason she couldn't get over it back then was because she never had the chance to ask for the answer.
Such a suddenly disappearing cliff will leave the person left behind living in the shadows.
Anger, resentment, and countless searches for a reason.
It was a constant internal struggle, a constant withdrawal, a constant struggle in the darkness.
Lu He reached out and grasped Yun Yi's hand: "She could indeed be someone I know, but I'm not sure... Give me some time, I, I will definitely find her!"
She turned to look at the unconscious Jianjian: "However, please, Miss Yunyi, first put Jianjian out of her coma so that my friend can rest assured." As she spoke, she looked at Zhiyan with a complicated expression.
Her eyes seemed to say, "Did you see that? If you really want to win over Jianjian's heart, the pain Yunyi is suffering now is what Jianjian will suffer in the future."
Zhiyan frowned, clearly disapproving of Qingyu's actions.
only……
"I know what you want to tell me, but... I'm sorry, I may still be selfish." Zhiyan said something that only Lu He could understand.
Well, he had no right to persuade Zhiyan to give up her hope of survival and choose to care about the feelings of someone from another dimension.
“You should learn from her, that’s how it’s normal!” the system chimed in promptly, afraid Lu He would do something foolish again: “Don’t try to promote your ideas to others, you’re just harming them…”
Lu He forced a smile: "Don't worry, I won't." She knew how naive she was and how childish her thoughts were.
Every time traveler who comes here wants to return to their original world and come back to life; how could anyone give up?
When faced with life and death, most people are selfish...
After hearing Lu He's words, Yun Yi woke Jian Jian up.
Zhiyan picked up Jianjian, intending to say goodbye to Lu Heyunyi, as she still needed to complete her own main storyline.
"I'm also taking Jianjian to retrieve her parents' belongings." Zhiyan knew that Lu He was going to take Yunyi to find Qingyu, so the group would naturally have to part ways: "Since Miss Qinwu has new plans, then we'll meet again someday."
"Okay, take care on your journey," Lu He cupped his hands in greeting to them, then turned to Yun Yi and said, "You'll leave Purple Jade Valley with me later, and I'll take you to find Qingyu?"
"Okay!" Yunyi immediately stopped crying and started smiling.
The system immediately became furious: "Hey, aren't you going to do your quest? What does finding this person have to do with your quest?"
Lu He answered confidently in her heart, "It's related!"
She didn't bother explaining anything further to the system, and directly made an appointment with Yunyi to leave Ziyu Valley early the next morning.
In the comic, Yunyi never left the Purple Jade Valley from birth to death. However, Qingyu took her out to see the outside world.
Now Lu He is going to take her out of the valley again.
The destiny of the Fire Feather Spirit Bird to sacrifice itself for the male protagonist was ultimately changed by two outsiders.
It's unclear whether her new fate will be good or bad for her.
Late that night, Lu He sat on a small hillside in the valley, gazing at the vast starry sky in a daze.
Seeing her from afar, Yunyi couldn't help but walk over and sit down beside her.
"Did you and Qingyu have a past...?" Yunyi finally asked the question that she had been holding back all day.
"Maybe..." Lu He was unsure.
A woman's intuition is usually very accurate. Yunyi guessed from Lu He's reaction during the day that Lu He might know more than just Qingyu.
"She wasn't called Qingyu back then?" Yunyi tilted her head and continued to ask. She meant no harm; she just wanted to know more about that person.
“Hmm,” Lu He nodded, “That’s why I can’t be sure if it’s her… but… I should be able to be sure it’s her… right…”
"Is it because of that Heart-Fluttering Flower?"
"Ah."
"Did she also tell you the legend of this flower?"
Lu He smiled wearily and shook her head: "It was I who showed her that kind of world, those kinds of flowers..."
Yun Yi seemed thoughtful: "No wonder you recognized me right away..." Then, as if remembering something else, she added: "Could it be that someone else has seen me before..."
“No,” Lu He sighed, forced to shatter the girl’s dream, “because those flowers were made by me, they were fake…”
"What!" Yunyi covered her mouth, utterly astonished: "Is that so? No wonder..."
"Are you sure you want to see her?" Lu He's expression was somewhat worried. "Maybe all her wonderful qualities are fake, an act. All your hopes and dreams about love will be shattered. Even so, you still want to find her?"
Yunyi's innocent smile was lively and adorable: "I must see her, ask her, and have her say it herself so I can finally give up!" This fervor and purity seemed to slowly overlap with another person's face—Xia Lan…
Lu He was momentarily stunned.
"And what about you? Why do you want to see her?" Yunyi asked Lu He in return.
"Me? When did I say I wanted to see her?"
“Be honest with yourself,” Yunyi looked up at the starry sky, gazing at the distant horizon, “Did you really only agree to go find her because you needed my pills?”
Lu He's gaze was drawn back to Yun Yi's sincere and frank profile. She asked herself if she really just didn't want Yun Yi to have any regrets, and didn't want Yun Yi to repeat the same mistakes.
No, she knew very well that she had ulterior motives.
She had something she wanted to ask that person, and although she could probably guess the answer, she still fantasized that maybe that person wasn't really that bad or that jerk.
"I might... hate her..." After a long silence, Lu He finally voiced the hatred she had kept buried deep in her heart.
Yes, she was long past the age of believing in love based on words alone. The more she understood, the more she hated that person for toying with her feelings.
"Hate her? Did she lie to you?" Yunyi lowered her head and wiggled her toes: "I think she really loved me, but I don't know why she changed."
Yunyi was also like an ostrich hiding its head; her self-protection mechanism made her unwilling to admit that the other person had never had any feelings for her.
“You know you’re just saying that to fool yourself.” Lu He forced a smile that wasn’t very pleasant. “You said it yourself during the day, that she lied to your Fire Feather, and you actually know in your heart that she’s a liar…”
Seeing tears welling up in Yunyi's eyes, Lu He knew he had said too much. This spirit bird was perfectly clear-headed, so why did he have to reopen her wounds and stab her again?
"I'm sorry..." Lu He uttered three words softly.
Yunyi held back her tears and shook her head: "I should thank you for being willing to talk to me. I feel much better now."
The two sat on the hillside, having a heart-to-heart talk about the person they both knew, healing each other and genuinely helping each other see their true selves.
until dawn.
