Flowing Years

Chapter 75

Si Shui took two sips and didn't eat any more, he just got up and took a casual look in Bai Zezhi's room.Bai Zezhi followed him around and ate quietly as usual.After eating, Si Shui removed the illusion and left.

Bai Zezhi packed up his clothes and soaked himself in the tub.He put a cotton handkerchief over his face, leaned against the bucket and closed his eyes to think.Everything he knew today was so unbelievable, he needed time to digest it.If the Three Realms really existed, would there be creatures from other realms passing by?Bai Zezhi trembled at the thought, stretched out his hand from the water, and pulled off the cotton kerchief on his face.

"I guess how long it will take you to find out." Qi Lie sat by the bucket, looking directly at Bai Zezhi.

Bai Zezhi frowned at Qi Lie who didn't know when to appear.Compared with the invisible creatures from another world who don't know whether they exist or not, Qi Lie should be guarded against such elusive ghosts.More importantly, I haven't noticed it yet!

"Why are you here again!" Bai Zezhi impatiently wiped his neck with a cotton kerchief.

"I haven't been here for several days..." Qi Lie gritted his teeth.

Bai Zezhi planned to get out of the wash quickly, so he didn't speak, and speeded up on his own.

Qi Lie took Bai Zezhi's unused bath spoon, scooped up water and slowly poured it on Bai Zezhi's shoulder.

Bai Zezhi's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it, was he bewitched today?He pushed away the bath spoon that Qilie was leaning against again, frowned and said, "What are you... doing!"

Qi Lie also frowned.When he was doting on a certain concubine, he would do this. Most of the concubines were shy and happy.Why does he look not happy at all, but rather annoyed?Qi Lie Zhuaner attributed Bai Zezhi's reaction to the fact that he didn't like it at all.Qi Lie put down the bath spoon and said, "What should I do if my shoulders are cold."

Bai Zezhi turned his head and took the pajamas straight away. When he jumped up, the clothes unfolded, and when he turned around, the clothes were already on Bai Zezhi's body.While tying the belt on the side, he walked towards the bedroom.

"You have been in the snow for the past few days, do you have any pain in your bones?" Qi Lie followed behind.

Bai Zezhi thought of tossing and turning at night, but didn't pay much attention to it.

"The snow has been so heavy these days, so you should stay in the house. The cold has penetrated into the bone marrow, and you will suffer forever from now on." Qi Lie originally came from a place of bitter cold, and saw many people who were tortured by the cold.

Bai Zezhi stopped at the threshold, turned around and looked at Qi Lie.

It's only when Bai Zezhi listened to his words, his blue eyes reflected the dancing candlelight, he was very happy.

Bai Zezhi pulled his hand and locked Qi Lie outside.He also knew what Qilie said was right, but he didn't want to stay in this house at all.But if the body is defeated, don't talk about escaping or saving Fu Que.

The house is warm and has never been broken.Bai Zezhi wrapped the quilt tightly around herself to feel better.I diverted my attention during the day, but I could still bear the soreness.In the dead of night, Bai Zezhi listened to his own heartbeat and endured the pain biting him bit by bit.In between, he remembered what the man in blue said, that he was sent to the human world for making mistakes in the fairy world.So, is this the punishment in the human world?The father's head was cut off right in front of his eyes, the mother died, the younger sister's whereabouts were still unknown, and even the best friends didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Two tears rolled down the corners of Bai Zezhi's eyes, and he closed them tightly, trying to stop the sadness in his eyes.He thought, father, even if you live in such pain and without dignity, do you still want to live?If he died like this, he would no longer be imprisoned... Bai Zezhi couldn't even find words to describe his identity.A captive favored by the Emperor?A imprisoned sycophant?When thinking of the word death, Bai Zezhi felt sad, if she really died, would Fu Que be implicated?Fu Que is still young, the time when she should act like a baby at her parents' knees.

Amidst sourness and wild thoughts, Bai Zezhi tossed and turned several times, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

Hearing that his breathing started to slow down, Qi Lie rolled in.He had never accommodated someone like this, coaxed someone like this, and cared about someone like this for the first time.He sighed secretly in his heart, and it's just you.Qilie reached out to stroke Bai Zezhi's temple hair, only to realize that his tentacles were wet.Qilie's hands froze, and his brows frowned slightly.

Qilie sat down on the chair beside the bed, looked at Bai Zezhi without saying a word.He thought that living outside the palace was already free enough.However, he cried secretly at night.Is it because he killed his father?Is it because you lost your mother?Or is it because he took his sister and asked him to stay here?Or is this pain unbearable?Its coldness is unknown.He was envious of a goshawk that spread its wings and soared, but got a sick bird that wept secretly.But let him let go, but really reluctant.For the first time, Qi Lie felt uninterested in the throne he had won.He thought that by destroying his country, he would be able to take him as his own.He can cut off his support, but he has been unable to lay hands on him.Qilie knew in his heart that if the limits of freedom were further relaxed, it would be even more impossible for Bai Zezhi to belong to him.He would run away so far that he wouldn't let himself see it.

The room was getting brighter, Qilie looked out the window, and was about to leave.He glanced at the sleeping Bai Zezhi and frowned.In the end, he turned over and left, rushing to court.He was reluctant to let Bai Zezhi go, and he couldn't bear to see him suffer so much.It really takes time to think about it.

It didn't take long for Bai Zezhi to turn over and wake up, looking at the person he saw when he woke up before, he felt a little delicate.No matter how you shut Qi Lie outside before, he would roll in in the middle of the night and hug him tightly.This time I didn't come in, as expected, patience will be exhausted.When he loses interest, will he be killed or exiled?Bai Zezhi didn't understand how he felt in his heart, he tightened slightly, and then let go.

It snowed for several days in a row, sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes light and sometimes heavy.Today, it fluttered leisurely, like catkins, but it also fell safely on the deposited snow.Bai Zezhi didn't go out, he was quietly writing in the study.

Si Shui appeared suddenly again, without any warning.He picked up the words that Bai Zezhi had just written and looked at them, then glanced at him again, and said with a smile: "The words are like a person."

Bai Zezhi looked at him, the haze in his heart dissipated little by little, and said, "Will you write one for me too?"

Si Shui glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I wrote. Let me think about it. It was about 1000 years ago when I last wrote."

Bai Zezhi looked at this man in disbelief, and he saw that he was only about [-] years old, just a little older than him, and it was thousands of years.

"However, you can still look at Huahua." Si Shui blinked.

Bai Zezhi gave way, and Si Shui went over to pick up the pen.meander on paper.The sun is just right, the blue waves are rippling, the jade is graceful, and the lotus is graceful.Bai Zezhi couldn't help getting closer, quietly looking at this fairyland-like painting.

Si Shui glanced at Bai Zezhi and smiled warmly.This is the corner of Lotus Palace. For Bai Zezhi, it is the place where he once cultivated to transform into immortals, so he should have different feelings.He picked up the paper and flicked it.Bai Zezhi watched the things on the paper come alive little by little.He stretched out his hand, and a ray of sunshine fell into the palm of his hand.The spring water in the pool is gurgling and the blue waves are undulating.The graceful lotus leaves stretch and sway in the breeze, and the pure white lotus flowers exude a real fragrance.

"It's beautiful." Bai Zezhi said lightly.Bai Zezhi was not surprised by this inconceivable thing, but felt anxiously familiar, since it was the first time he had seen it.

"Then you can keep it, others won't be able to see it." Si Shui smiled lightly.Ordinary people see this painting, but they can't see that the picture is moving.

Bai Zezhi found tools to frame the painting and hang it in the house.After that, every day, he would stand in front of the painting for a while, watching quietly.
