"Oh."
Yu Sheng was startled for a moment and was a little silent. Finally, he nodded slightly and followed Yu Sanshui back home.
There has been no cooking at home for two months, and the kitchen is full of dust.
Yu Sanshui is constantly busy in the kitchen, while Yu Sheng is sitting alone on the sofa, staring ahead, somewhat lost in thought.
Wait until the meal is ready and sit at the dinner table.
Looking at Yu Sheng who still seemed a little silent, Yu Sanshui asked, "How are you feeling?"
Yu Sheng silently put down his chopsticks and said thoughtfully, "I can't put it into words, I always feel like something is missing in my heart. As for my mood... I don't know how to describe it."
"Should..."
"It must be a loss."
Yu Sanshui leaned on the chair and looked at Yu Sheng with a smile, "This is your first time to experience this feeling, so maybe your cognition is not clear enough."
"In the past two months, I have been able to see the cute little girl from Zhao Zicheng's family every day, and she seems to like you very much and is always pestering you. She always smiles when you hold her."
"This feeling..."
"So what?"
While talking, Yu Sanshui lit a cigarette for himself.
During this time, I stayed at Zhao Zicheng's house every day. They also had children at home, so Yu Sanshui hadn't smoked for a long time. Now that I was suddenly liberated, I smoked one cigarette after another without ever stopping.
"At the beginning, it was a little annoying."
Yu Sheng recalled carefully and tried to describe his emotional changes.
"But when she smiled at me for the first time, I... well... suddenly it wasn't so annoying."
"Later... I probably got used to it."
Listening to Yu Sheng's words, the smile on Yu Sanshui's face grew thicker, "So, you can accept her, and you are even willing to let a stranger touch your skin, including often putting his hands on your neck, without you having any vigilance."
"In your mind, she is just a newborn child and cannot pose a threat to you."
"And she's cute."
"So, you are willing to take off your guard for her."
"And I am willing to pay attention to the growth of a little life, because you can feel the beauty of the world in it."
"This kind of beauty is very precious to you."
"Right?"
The voice of Yu Sanshui penetrated the smoke in the air and sounded calmly.
Yu Sheng seemed a little silent, lowered his head slightly, and after a moment he softly responded, "Yes."
"Look, you have actually opened a crack in the door that sealed your heart, otherwise you would not have accepted that child."
"After all, in Sin City's understanding, even children may be in danger."
"Just like Demon Domain, what is hidden inside that child."
"But you deliberately ignored this and gave yourself an excuse in your heart, telling yourself that it doesn't matter, it's okay."
As he spoke, Yu Sanshui had a smile on his face and flicked the cigarette ashes, "I am far inferior to you in my cultivation journey, including some combat experience, judgment between life and death, etc..."
"At least..."
"I have lived longer than you and have seen more things than you."
"Now, why don't you try to push the door in your heart a little further?"
"Try..."
"To trust and accept more people."
"Perhaps by that time, you will be able to see more beauty in the world."
"Even if you are occasionally in darkness, when you raise your head, you can still see the sun."
At the end of the conversation, Yu Sanshui's cigarette happened to be burned out.
He put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can.
Yu Sheng didn't speak this time. He just sat on the chair and was silent. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a few minutes, he picked up the bowls and chopsticks again and ate the meal seriously.
Yu Sanshui chuckled, shook his head, and stopped talking. The second half of the meal ended in silence.
Early morning.
Yu Sheng still carried his pink schoolbag, which had been stared at countless times by his classmates, and walked into the campus.
Looking at a young man traveling with him, Yu Sheng hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly said, "Hello."
"Ah?"
The boy, who was only in his early ten years, was stunned for a moment and looked at Yu Sheng in disbelief.
This guy...
Enrollment In half a year, I have never taken the initiative to talk to anyone!
Especially, his identity is still Ink Pavilion Head!
"Hello... hello!"
The young man was a little surprised and responded at a loss, "I... I have... Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Well..."
"I just said hello..."
Yu Sheng responded softly.
The young man's face flushed. "You... you are good too!"
After saying this, the young man was filled with excitement. He ran wildly on Playground and was the first to rush to the class. Looking at the other students who were already sitting on the chairs, he waved excitedly. "Yu...Pavilion Master Yu, you just took the initiative to say hello to me!!!"
