Chapter 25 (2/2)
They held their breaths and focused to listen to Li Chengfeng's words “The first ti just in front All though ere only a few metres apart, you were a celebrity and I was the scuh up in the heavens while I was left in the dust People say that I, Li Chengfeng, am a reckless, empty flirt but no one kno careful and nervous I was in front of you”
“That day, when Silver Hairpin suddenly broughtwas up But I did not dare think of it, for all I wanted was to see you! I shouldn't have co to collect your body and lay your soul to rest, yet I came anyway All because I wanted to see you one last time”
Although these weren't poems, it was still an e, let alone these girls
The girls were all touched to the core They couldn't help but wonder: if they died, would there be a lover to lay their body to rest and recite such erave?
The usually practical, realistic girls were instantly converted into romantics
Li Chengfeng took a deep breath, then slowly poured the glass of wine into Liu Zhixi's grave In a low voice, he announced, “Miss Zhixi, ain in our next lives!”
Tears flowed None of the girls could speak as tey sobbed, even the usually cold Liu Su
They watched as Li Chengfeng stood silently in front of the grave without a word After a while, they all stepped forward to pour their glasses of wine into the grave, then step aside as if waiting for so still hadn't spoken a word They gave up on waiting then turned to leave
They had just taken two steps when they heard a voice from behind “I have a flask of wine…”
The girls stopped and turned They did not understand as going on They didn't expect him to then burst out in a poem
“I have a flask of wine, but it is not enough to comfort my sorrows I smile a drunken smile, yet I dread when I wake I look up but I cannot find her, so I fiddle with the candle I turn around to see, a candle-lit beauty”
The girls were stunned by this sudden recitation They suddenly felt his sorrow and thought about all the unfortunate circumstances in their lives
Liu Su She turned to her servant, as crying hard “Let's go back”
The servant looked at Li Chengfeng longingly “Miss, we're going back just like that?”
Liu Suood man, but he's not mine We'll just be sadder if we stay” She then wiped her tears and left briskly
Everyone did the saraveyard quietened down
Li Chengfeng and Zhao Xiaobao, iping his tears silently, stood before the grave With one final sigh, he turned to leave
The crowded grave suddenly e of wild crows echoed A breeze blew as paper rave
Sorave shuddered Then, the soil seemed to lift upwards until a hand suddenly appeared, then a shoulder, then an entire hurave!
It was a woman so beautiful even soil could not cover her beauty– Liu Zhixi!
