914 Untitled (2/2)
Then it couldn't be changed.
At this moment, the cloud in the southwest of the night sky was blown away, revealing the full moon.
The moon shone on earth, and it shone on the night sky too. The starlight that seemed to be stagnant before instantly became alive, and so did the whole world.
Sangsang squinted and her willow leaf-shaped eyes looked bright.
Her eyes were also filled with confusion.
Haotian came to the human world, which sounded like a god befell earth. In fact, when the rule left its objective area and came to the human world, it was like a newborn baby to a new world.
Newborn babies relied on instincts and learning to survive and grow, respectively.
She also relied on instincts to survive on earth, but her instincts were cold rules and logic. The tender feelings in the human world were totally new to her.
She learned her lessons clumsily.
She was lonely and she would be more lonely without Ning Que.

Mo Shanshan looked at the back of Sangsang on the lakeside and said with pity, ”She indeed lives a miserable life.”
Looking at the direction of Sangsang, Ning Que went silent for a while and said, ”She certainly didn't want to hear what you said, but you're right.”
Mo Shanshan said, ”Just take good care of her.”
Thinking of the torture he went through in the Divine Hall of West Hill and on the journey, Ning Que laughed ironically and said, ”I live a miserable life too.”
Mo Shanshan said, ”Don't you think that I'm miserable too?”
Ning Que was about to speak, but he suddenly felt a soft and wet touch on his face.
Mo Shanshan kissed him on the cheek.
He was a little stunned.
She was a bit shy. She didn't want to compete with Sangsang. She just wanted to express her feelings to Ning Que.
Ning Que was nervous and glanced to the direction of Sangsang.
Mo Shanshan looked at the other shore and whispered, ”It feels like we are cheating.”
Ning Que forced out a bitter smile and went silent.
Mo Shanshan said, ”Don't worry.”
Ning Que said, ”I'm not worrying about her.”
Knowing that Ning Que was strong in appearance but brittle inside, Mo Shanshan couldn't help but laugh.
Ning Que said, ”I'm worrying about you.”
Mo Shanshan laughed and said, ”Don't worry about me. Actually I figured the whole matter out a long time ago.”
Ning Que said, ”How? I can't understand it at all.”
Mo Shanshan smiled and said, ”She met you earlier than me, a decade earlier actually. Even Haotian can't reverse time, let alone me?”
”Go with her. If she were to return to the Divine Kingdom or abandon you, then you can always come back to me. Before that, I will make everyday count.”
”If?”
”I will meet a really good man.”
Hearing this, Ning Que almost subconsciously said, ”Where can you find a man as good as me?” However, he suddenly realized that it would be too cheeky if he were to say so.
Mo Shanshan knew what he was thinking. She smothered her laughter and said, ”There are not many women as good as me, but plenty of men better than you.”
Ning Que was a little embarrassed and got his self-esteem hurt.
All of a sudden, Mo Shanshan said, ”I like you.”
The moonlight fell on her face, and she looked attractive and elegant.
How could a man ever forget a girl like her?
”But I also like that you like her.” Mo Shanshan smiled and said, ”And I like the way you care about her.”
Ning Que didn't say a word and just smiled at her.
I like you too. He said so in his mind. And I like how you deal with the whole matter.
He got up and walked out of the shadow of the tree. Then he walked to the other shore of the lake, looking at the back of Sangsang and saying, ”Let's go.”
Sangsang stood up and looked at Ning Que, trying to say something. However, she said nothing in the end.
They continued their journey.
A girl in a white dress saw them off on the lakeside.
It was the deep winter of the first year of Zheng Shi in the Great Tang, the three thousand four hundred and fiftieth year of Da Zhi in West Hill Divine Kingdom and the fourteenth year of Chong Sheng in the Great River Kingdom.
Two thousand cavalrymen from the Divine Hall of West Hill crossed the river and went all the way south.
A young couple came to the Great River Kingdom.
The monarch abdicated.
The Great River Kingdom changed its reign title to Xi Huan.
Xi meant sunbathing.
Huan was the name of a stream in the Southland which had thousands of acacia trees on both sides.
The new monarch was a woman. On the day of ascension, she still wore a white dress instead of the imperial robe.
