C231 Variable or invariant (1/2)
The snow continued to fall silently.
Under the moonlight, two figures stood still and motionless.
”Oh,” Chang Jing asked softly, whether intentionally or unintentionally, ”Who is he?”
”He …” Ka Buyi wanted to say the name, but was interrupted by Chang Jing.
”Actually, no matter who he is, what should change will change. What shouldn't change — he can't change even after a thousand years.”
”Is that right?” Ka Buyi said faintly, ”Then, has he changed?”
”It's late at night. Let's go back and rest early.” Chang Jing did not answer her question, but turned and left, ”We still have to march tomorrow, what's most important at this time is to maintain your best physical strength.”
”No,” Ka Buyi hugged him from behind and cried, ”Don't go! Don't leave me again, without you... I can't stand it! ”
The woman sealed in ice, the woman who sacrificed herself to save me, is currently lying on the cold stone bed.
Chang Jing gently pushed her hand down, and turned to face her, saying, ”There are some things that once gone, can't be found again … ”I haven't changed, I haven't changed at all, but I …”
He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he sighed and said, ”When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely explain it to you!”
”Why, why after?” Ka Buyi said with a hint of unhappiness, ”Can't you tell me why now? Is it because I'm not gentle enough or because you have another lover? ”
Who would have known that at this moment, there were some things that were already extremely heavy on one person? There was no need to place it on two people's bodies.
”Yes,” he said coldly, ”I have a lover again! I never wanted to tell you before because I'm afraid to hurt you, but since you're so anxious to force me, I'll tell you then. She's a thousand times gentler than you, you can't even begin to compare to her! ”
The snow suddenly grew heavier, and the weather suddenly became bone-chilling cold.
Ka Buyi bit his lips tightly, preventing it from making any sounds of him crying.
”I... ”I see,” she said slowly, trying to control herself. ”I'm sorry to bother you so late. Good night.”
Her face was slightly upturned when she spoke, because she had heard that it was the best way to raise one's head if one did not want tears to flow.
However, just by turning around, two sparkling tears slowly fell from her large eyes and slid into the coldest place in her heart …
Looking at her staggering figure, Chang Jing could not say a single word. She could only say to herself in her heart, ”Chang Jingye, you must remember, you have already hurt the best girl in the world, you cannot let any other girl sacrifice herself for you. You must remember this!”
He looked up at the moon. The moon was speechless.
The next day, clear, the first snow had already dried up, and the Academy Army continued to advance towards the Wind Moon City in the vast expanse of whiteness.
”Big Brother Ye, now that you are a senior official, you better follow my instructions!” Jin Tian heard of Chang Jing's news early in the morning and ran over, while walking beside him, he said, ”I wonder how deep our friendship went back then!”
”Heh …” Facing his good friend from the past, Chang Jing's depressed mood from last night had been completely swept away. ”Sure, but you have to treat yourself to it — there's no such thing as a free lunch!”
”Done!” Jin Tian's face was full of smiles as he excitedly said, ”I'll definitely treat you to a good meal!”
”It's good as long as you say it. Say it, what do you want me to help you with?”
”Shh,” Jin Tian mysteriously lowered his voice and said, ”Don't you dare reveal this matter to anyone. If word of this gets out, it won't be good!”
”What's going on?” Chang Jing realized the severity of the situation, and couldn't help but regret agreeing too quickly, ”I'm not going to do anything that violates my principles!”
Jin Tian's voice was still suppressed, ”I just want you to help... Since we entered the Academy Army, it has been a long time since we have told each other everything! ”
”…” Chang Jing almost fainted, she did not expect him to be nervous for such a small matter, ”Alright, I'll definitely help you!”
This time, Jin Tian was really happy, he said excitedly, ”We have a deal, don't go back on your word!”
”When did I break my promise? You're a real person!”
”You said no. Didn't you say that you would treat me to a meal when you won the league before? But you still haven't!”
”That's called 'forgetting', it's different from 'reneging on the debt'!”
As the two brothers were fighting, a herald untactfully ran over.
He was embarrassed to interrupt them, but he didn't dare to disobey the military order. In the end, he could only restrain his laughter as he performed a military salute and said, ”General, the Lieutenant Generals are waiting for you!”
Seeing himself playing around like a child, Chang Jing's face immediately flushed red.
”Cough …” ”Alright, I understand. You can go now!”
