Chapter 607 Fei
"An Ming..."
"I never blamed you."
"I just hate that...cowardly self of mine."
come down.
Different from the dizziness during the simulation, this time the fall seemed to be falling deeper and deeper. A familiar voice echoed in my ears, but it spoke unfamiliar words.
An Ming found that he seemed to never truly understand Ying's heart.
From the first time they met on Edo Star, Sakura was the older sister, and to when they met in Izumo, Sakura was still the older sister.
Ying seldom reveals her true thoughts, and the expression on her face is always calm and unchanging. Her violet-like, warm and elegant eyes seem unable to accommodate anyone.
It continued to fall, with only the Qianying held tightly in the palm emitting a blue glow, leaving a trail like a meteor as it fell.
An Ming didn't even know where he was. His only hope was that his companions on the Star Train could land safely. At this time, he still didn't consider his own safety.
“Love is a word.”
"I love you is three words."
“Three words can form the simplest sentence.”
come down.
Until at the end of the fall, a vast expanse of white appeared, and the dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire abyss.
There was a girl with long cherry-colored hair, sitting alone by the lake, gazing at herself on the surface of the lake. She seemed to be practicing what to say in a certain scene, or muttering to herself.
Sometimes Sakura doesn’t understand herself. It’s just three simple words, why is it so difficult?
From Edo Star to Izumo, Sakura has been a passer-by in Anming's two lifetimes. She doesn't want to be just a passer-by...but she can't keep him no matter what.
I want to have more, I want to interfere in his life, I want to be the most important person to him.
But she just watched, watching An Ming being taken away by Hua Huo, snatched away by Huang Quan... In fact, she knew that love was never plunder, but a natural experience where everything finally came together.
Ying just felt ridiculous that she couldn't even utter these three simple words.
She closed her eyes, but the cherry blossoms in the lake opened their eyes, and a moment of sadness flashed in her violet eyes.
An Ming continued to fall from a height and wanted to reach out to touch Ying, but the next moment he suddenly crashed into the screen and fell into another world.
The cold wind instantly rushed into the body, almost making people lose consciousness instantly. Wuye's power in the plane was limited, so An Ming directly chose to use Qianying to cut off the wind and snow and chop it down to the ground from a high place like an axe to split the sky.
The sword directly cut through the blizzard and carried An Ming to the ground covered with heavy snow like goose feathers. The only sound in his ears was the violent wind and snow, and the whole field of vision was white. Not to mention the road, even his fingers were a little blurry.
Even An Ming felt the chill penetrating into his bones. The snowflakes that fell on his skin did not even melt, but remained extremely cold for a moment.
In the extreme cold, a hint of warmth came from the palm of his hand. After An Ming raised Qianying, he saw a faint light flickering on the hilt. The moment he touched it, the faint light turned into an arc-shaped light curtain, forming a barrier to isolate the wind and snow.
Seen from a high vantage point, it looks like a transparent eggshell, spreading out from Qianying's hilt and completely blocking the impact of wind and snow.
Otherwise, there was only one solution An Ming could think of, which was to drive Sam to ignite the snowfield, and then directly transform into a dump truck of fire of life to forcibly melt the snowflakes in an instant of extreme cold.
Maybe this is really a good idea, but Ying didn't know that An Ming had cavalry, so he left such a mechanism in Qianying to help him move forward.
If Ying really didn't want to see An Ming again, she wouldn't have left so many backup plans among Qianying, and she wouldn't have let him come here.
The fact that An Ming could come here is itself an answer.
The heavy snow swallowed up all the footprints. In the white world, An Ming could only see the hot breath he exhaled. It was not until he looked back and saw that nothing was left on the snowy field that he understood the true moment.
No one can leave a trace in this world, and this snowfield is frozen in some unknown moment.
An unknown moment.
An Ming was very familiar with the white world. After the simulation ended, he always saw Annie in that snow-white world, but Annie never explained to him the reason for the appearance of that world.
And what does the world in front of us symbolize to Sakura?
I don’t know how long I walked, it was so far away that even time had lost its temperature. Under the protection of Qianying, An Ming finally saw the scenery other than the white snow.
Those should be cherry trees, but blooming on the branches are ice flowers that are as crystal clear as glass.
A village can be vaguely seen among the cherry trees, and wisps of smoke can still be seen in the snow-white world. An Ming doesn't know if Sakura is here, but he thinks that as long as he keeps moving forward, he will see her again.
"Big brother?"
A barefoot little girl was standing on the snow outside the village. She had short cherry pink hair and a cute rosy face. She was only wearing a thin coat in the extreme cold.
An Ming didn't expect to meet a stranger here, but after seeing the girl's face clearly, he couldn't help but look at her carefully a few more times. He wouldn't remember it wrong... When Edo Xing and Sakura first met, she was just a little girl, but he was just a baby at that time.
"Hello."
An Ming squatted in front of the girl and smiled gently, "My name is An Ming. I came here to find a sister named Ying. Do you know her?"
"Sister Sakura?"
The girl's eyes suddenly brightened. "Yes! Sister Ying asked me to wait for someone here, but...but Sister Ying has been a little scary lately."
An Ming couldn't figure out the relationship between the girl and Ying for a moment, but no matter how he looked at it, she clearly looked like Ying when she was a child. "Can you tell me your name, brother?"
"Fei."
When Fei smiles, her eyes are always filled with hope for the future. Even if her cheeks are red from the wind and snow, she can still show an innocent smile.
"Brother, just call me Fei. Sister Ying said there are scarlet cherry blossoms in the world. When the scarlet cherry blossoms are in full bloom on the frost trees, we can go to a farther place. Then..."
“You can see real spring!”
Fei's face was full of longing for the distant place. Sister Ying would never lie to her, and she liked Sister Ying the most.
An Ming half squatted down and put Fei's right hand in his palm. The girl's small hand could be just wrapped in An Ming's palm, but the coldness he felt in his palm could not melt for a long time.
The moment froze everything, even the frostbite on Fei's body.
"You said Sister Ying is a little scary. Can you tell your brother in detail?" The little girl in front of him was the only way for An Ming to get information about Ying. He held those little hands tightly, which would never be warmed up, as if this could alleviate some of the coldness in the girl's body.
Fei looked at An Ming curiously, not wary of him at all, "Sister seemed to have become a different person some time ago, Fei doesn't understand...but Sister looks very strange."
"Brother, this is the first time that Fei has met someone other than Sister Ying~"
Fei is curious about everything about An Ming. Completely different from Ying's personality, this child is extremely lively and cheerful, and once he starts talking, he will talk nonstop.
Maybe it was because no one talked to her usually, so during this not-so-long journey, Fei chattered a lot with An Ming.
Sakura's change happened about a month ago. Fei said that in the past, Sister Sakura always looked at her quietly, occasionally revealing a somewhat envious look.
But after that day, everything changed.
The elder sister who had always been gentle to her told her in a cold tone to leave here, go as far as possible and never come back.
"Brother An Ming uses a sword," Fei noticed that An Ming was holding Qian Ying in his left hand, and asked curiously, "What does it feel like to use a sword?"
An Ming lowered his eyes and stared at the patterns on Qianying, muttering, "Maybe it's the guilt for not being able to arrive in time." His voice was so low that it was almost drowned out by the sound of the wind and snow.
In Edo Star and Izumo, the blade had been unsheathed countless times in two simulated reincarnations, cutting off flesh and blood, evil beasts, even gods and the sun, but in the end...did he really touch Sakura's true heart?
Thinking about the past cannot change the present. An Ming wants to meet Ying in the present time and space, and it is no longer just a simulation.
"My sister is always as sentimental as my brother..."
Fei tilted her head to look at him, the tiny ice crystals between her eyelashes trembling slightly as she blinked. She didn't understand what An Ming meant, but she could read the mood in his words, "Is the adult world always so complicated?"
An Ming was silent for a moment and then he smiled softly. He raised his hand and carefully wiped away the snow particles on Fei's nose with his thumb. "It will be fine as long as Fei stays like this."
It is never the world of adults that is complicated; it is the human heart that is complicated.
If everyone could understand people's hearts, there would be fewer fantasy true loves in the world. People would always touch each other carefully, and only through constant touching and understanding each other would two hearts grow closer.
There is a layer of flesh and blood between hearts, and no one can easily see through anyone else, so people can only be like travelers in the vast snow, carefully reaching out their hands to touch the warmth of each other's hearts in the cold, and piecing together the appearance of each other's hearts through countless misunderstandings and approaches.
"This way my brother won't be cold."
Fei suddenly stood on tiptoe and put An Ming's hand on her red, frozen cheek. Although it was still cold, she could feel a hint of warmth for some reason.
But even in the vast snow, there are people who are willing to open their hearts and warm every lost traveler.
An Ming gently pinched Fei's cheek. The world of the girl in front of him was extremely pure, as simple as right and wrong, black and white.
The village was so quiet that there was no sound at all. All that could be seen were the frosty eaves and the crooked little snowmen on the roadside.
Fei held An Ming's hand and returned to her wooden house. She stood at the door and pushed it hard, puffing out her little mouth and using all her strength.
"Hey--ah!" Feibei's little face turned red, and her boots kept slipping on the snow, but the frozen door remained motionless.
An Ming grasped the frosted door handle and pulled the door outwards. Snowflakes began to fall, making the room a little warmer, but only a little.
"My sister used to come here every day..." Fei squatted in front of the stove, carefully fiddling with a few pieces of firewood with tongs. Seeing this, An Ming squatted beside the girl and helped her light the firewood.
After the warm firelight appeared, Fei seemed to be relieved and sat on the ground, staring blankly at the crackling sparks in the stove, "Now she always stays alone on the top of the snow mountain."
The girl didn't understand those complicated things, she just missed Sakura.
The wooden house was not big. Fei told An Ming that it was because she did not like spacious rooms. It was not pleasant to be swallowed by darkness when lying on the bed.
So there is only one room in the wooden house, and the bed is placed not far from the fireplace. The small room is filled with warm furniture, as if it can fill the empty heart.
An Ming couldn't even find many places to stay, and finally chose to sit on the edge of the bed. Through the window beside him, he could see the distant snow-capped mountain peaks.
"Sister Ying would tell me stories before bed," Fei thought for a moment and said, "Sister Ying rarely speaks, but when she tells a story, she always says a lot and very gently. Sometimes when I fall asleep and wake up, I can still see Sister murmuring and continuing to tell a story."
Fei didn't know whether it was a story or Ying's past experience. She only knew that her sister loved someone very much... but she had forgotten everything about that person.
Sister Sakura seemed to suddenly remember a lot of things that day, but why did she become more painful?
There are many things Fei doesn’t understand, but...but if she can bring her brother over, then her sister will definitely be able to become the gentle sister she used to be, right?
But why did she feel that her brother was so kind, as if she had seen him many times somewhere before?
Fei stared at An Ming's profile without any concealment, but still couldn't understand her own feelings. It was just like why she had inexplicably waited quietly for several hours at the entrance of the village this morning.
Even she herself didn't know what she was waiting for, but she got the answer the moment she saw An Ming.
An Ming didn't notice Fei's gaze. He was looking at everything in the room, like the two pillows that were too soft for his head and the cherry blossoms drawn with a sword on the corner of the table. There were traces of cherry blossoms everywhere.
An Ming realized that this might be the first time that he truly touched Sakura's past outside of the reincarnation simulation—no longer just a simulation, but the real present.
When my fingertips stroked the cherry blossom marks on the edge of the wooden table, it was like I had missed time and space and saw Sakura sitting there, carefully using a knife to leave cherry blossom marks on the corner of the table, and smilingly telling Fei how beautiful the truly blooming cherry blossoms would be, and perhaps even promising to take her to see the cherry blossoms.
"elder brother."
Fei suddenly held An Ming's hand very seriously. Her cute little face tried very hard to be serious, but she still looked very cute. "Go and kiss me. I like you and you like me, so a kiss will definitely make us reconcile!"
In Fei's opinion, people who like each other should be together. It doesn't matter if there are conflicts. Everything will be fine as long as they kiss.
Because people who like each other will not separate easily.
"Brother, do you like sister?"
Looking at Fei's sincere eyes, An Ming replied seriously: "I like it."
Fei smiled and said, "Then I will take my brother to find my sister," that way I will definitely be able to... see that gentle sister again.
