Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 255: Accepting Reality (1)

Lan Xi's face was now covered with a layer of faint sadness, and the corners of her mouth gently pulled up a bitter smile, which contained helplessness and a little unwilling expectation for the unknown fate. Before meeting Yue Yin, Lan Xi's heart was still burning with a faint flame of hope, imagining that perhaps there was some unknown power that could bring her back to the familiar modern world.

However, when Lan Xi heard Yue Yin's resolute words to her, her heart was instantly overwhelmed by deep despair. She had to face a cruel fact: the possibility of traveling through time and space to return to the present was almost negligible, and it might even be an unattainable dream forever.

"Perhaps, this is fate." Lan Xi admitted silently in her heart, "I should accept all this calmly. After all, Wuyou can return to the modern era, and I also have the opportunity to exist in another way. At least, when I can still meet Wuyou, I can tell him all this in person and let him go to see Gu Tingyan on my behalf. After all, Gu Tingyan is the person I care about most in this life and the person I can't let go of."

Thinking of this, Lan Xi couldn't help but feel an indescribable bitterness in her heart. Lan Xi shook her head helplessly, trying to dispel the chaotic thoughts in her mind. Lan Xi sighed softly: "I didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on me. However, think about it from another perspective. I continue to live in this world instead of Wuyou, and Wuyou continues to move forward in the modern world instead of me. Isn't this the so-called exchange of lives? Although it is full of unknowns and challenges, it may also be a new beginning."

Lan Xi raised her head and looked at Yue Yin firmly. Yue Yin looked at Lan Xi quietly, with deep sympathy and understanding in her eyes. Yue Yin comforted her softly, "It's the best thing that you can look at this matter so calmly. You should feel lucky because you have traveled to Wuyou's body and are able to experience a life journey that is completely different from your previous one. And Wuyou will also step into a completely unfamiliar and brand new world with a new identity to live in."

After listening to Yue Yin's words, Lan Xi nodded silently. Although tears were still lingering in the corners of her eyes, her expression showed a sense of relief and tenacity. Lan Xi knew that she could no longer return to her original world, but she also clearly realized that her current life was not meaningless.

Lan Xi stared at Yue Yin, who was always smiling warmly, and an indescribable warmth surged in her heart. Her clear eyes flickered with a faint light. Lan Xi said to Yue Yin softly, "Actually, you are a very easy-going person. You are not as weird and difficult to approach as the outside world says."

After hearing this, Yue Yin's mouth curled up slightly, outlining a light and elegant smile, like the warm sun in winter, which made people feel more intimate. Yue Yin spoke slowly, her voice soft: "Those rumors about me are mostly just misunderstandings of the outside world. They have never really understood me, so how can they know what kind of person I am?"

Lan Xi nodded in agreement, expressing her approval of Yue Yin's point of view. She further elaborated: "Since I have found the answer I want from you, it seems that it is time for me to leave. I believe that Xiao Chuhan must be anxiously looking for me at this moment. He may have sent people to search for my traces everywhere."

When Yue Yin heard this, her eyes moved slightly, catching a glimpse of ripples, but soon her expression returned to calmness. She looked at Lan Xi and said lightly: "In fact, he cares about you very much."

But Lan Xi smiled bitterly and retorted: "What he cares about and loves is Ye Wuyou, not me."

Yue Yin looked at Lan Xi quietly, her deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. Yue Yin said seriously: "How do you know that the person he loves can't be you, Ye Lan Xi?" This sentence was like a thunder in Lan Xi's ears, making Lan Xi stunned for a moment. Lan Xi fell into deep thought and began to examine her inner world.

At this moment, Lan Xi suddenly remembered something. She turned her head and looked at Yue Yin. After hesitating for a while, Lan Xi decided to speak out her doubts. Lan Xi asked carefully: "Can I ask you another question?"

Yue Yin smiled and replied, "Ask whatever you want."

Lan Xi took a deep breath and said slowly: "I met a man here. His name is Ye Chen. I don't know why he looks exactly like my modern friend Gu Tingyan. Sometimes their words and actions always make me think that he is Gu Tingyan. But how could he appear here?"

After saying these words, Lan Xi looked at Yue Yin with a wry smile, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
