324 Untitled (1/2)

Zhangsun Wuji had been exercising self-restraint and caution for his whole life, and he had never been drunk. However, any human would definitely be drunk at least once. It was the same as how it was impossible for a human to not make mistakes at all.

Furthermore, the wine entered his body like mercury, and it slowly devoured his organs.

The more he drank, the heavier his body felt. More wine spilled out as well, and in the end, he only drank half of the last jug. Suddenly, his sleeve jerked, and he clumsily threw the jug away. It crashed against a wall, and with a loud bang, the jug shattered into pieces.

Then, he leaned backward and fell from the tree.

He was drunk!

During the same night, someone was drunk for once, while someone else was exceptionally quiet and clear-headed.

Meng Fuyao sat upright in the dark room. There were many things lying on the floor, but she did not clear them. She just sat silently in the cold surroundings.

Actually, she had never really wanted to depend on someone, or hope for warmth in this cold-hearted world. Having lived in two universes, she was clearer than anyone about the cold, hard truth of reality. She thought her defenses would have been very sturdy and would never break down, but when reality hit her, she still could not help but feel disappointed.

Humans may not believe in warmth, but they would still uncontrollably wish for it. It was a fatal attraction; moths were aware of their ending if they neared the fire, but they still could not resist their natural instinct to fly towards brightness.

Brightness… Meng Fuyao laughed mockingly. Unless one radiated brightness from within, no one would bring light to you.

She closed her eyes and silently adjusted her breath. Since she could not rely on anyone but herself, she had to be much, much stronger. This was the only way for her to leave this seemingly glamorous world, which was, in fact, an ice cellar, and find her simple and prudent small home in the previous universe, which was always warm and cozy.

As for the complicated past, and the mistakes that Zhangsun Wuji and Zong Yue had committed, she felt that she had no right to probe into them. Maybe they were indebted to her before, but after these few years of treating her wholeheartedly, it was more than enough for them to compensate her.

Though it was hard for her to forget grievances, she always remembered acts of kindness.

She would not be who she was, if not for Zhangsun Wuji and Zong Yue. Even if Zhangsun Wuji had saved her many years ago, who knew how her life would pave out to be in the future? Life may take one on many paths, but the barriers and obstacles would definitely still be there. She may take a different path, but she would still be hurt, just in a different way.

What was the worst ending? Since there was no source of comparison, who could make the judgment that she had gone through the worst ending? Although she always advocated determinism over fate, in reality, life was always controlled by the Heavens.

If so, why should she inflict pain on others?

With such a thought, the chilly feeling that surrounded her liver seemed to disperse a bit. Then, she perked her ears to pick up any sounds. Both were very silent, and one retreated back to his room, while the other's whereabouts were unknown. She could vaguely smell alcohol, and she was slightly taken aback - Zhangsun Wuji was actively drinking?

After a while, there was a muffled crash in the front courtyard. When she heard that, her eyebrows moved.

In the meantime, Lord Yuan Bao stood on the table with one leg in front of the other, as he wanted to run out to console his master, and stay to console Meng Fuyao at the same time. While in a state of dilemma, he heard this sound, and his hair stood on its ends. ”Ga!” His shaky split turned into a full split in an instant.

Meng Fuyao looked at Lord Yuan Bao, and Lord Yuan Bao looked back at her. When the four eyeballs met each other's gaze, Lord Yuan Bao looked as if he was begging her. Previously, when the Zhangsun Wuji imposter had created trouble, Lord Yuan Bao had pleaded in the same way, and he had ended up becoming a hamburger.

As Meng Fuyao remained silent, she poked Lord Yuan Bao towards the door.

Making use of the chance, Lord Yuan Bao hugged her finger, because she didn't allow him to touch her before. Then, she pulled her finger towards the door. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Naturally, he wouldn't be able to move her, but he just wanted to express his desire. Meng Fuyao did not move and continued letting him tug. Suddenly, she said gently, ”Sigh, your mind is not functioning well. If our relationship is not good, you can use this opportunity to come in between us.”

Immediately, Lord Yuan Bao looked back, and his eyes widened in anguish. 'Even if I wanted to, this is not the way. Is my master this easily taken away? We advocate fair play and not dirty tricks!' he thought.

Furthermore… he swept his short tail in sadness. Compared to his master's feelings, his own love was insignificant.

With a sigh, Meng Fuyao gently pulled him away and signaled him to leave. Depressed, Lord Yuan Bao left with his head hung low.

He did not return after he left. After recuperating for a while, Meng Fuyao opened her eyes to look around. She was a bit confused, but she did not move. She recovered herself for a while more, and when she opened her eyes, she frowned. However, she still did not move. It was only after she completed one round of recuperation, and when she saw the empty table and heard no noise from the courtyard, that she stepped out of bed.
