This process was very fast, and it only took three breaths. However, in this short period of time, the pain was like tens of thousands of sharp thorns, stabbing into his brain again and again, and then densely covering all his limbs and bones.
This kind of pain… even though he had strong endurance, he immediately lay on the bed, and rested his face on the clothes on the bed. Those were the clothes that Feng Tianlan used to wear.
“Lan’er…” Si Mobai panted heavily, the beads of sweat on his forehead blurring his vision. He rested his head on the set of clothes that she had worn before, as if she was right beside him.
He missed her very much. When he saw her, he missed her even more. He missed her so much that he wanted to hold her in his arms at all costs. When he thought about it, he did not care about anything else. He only wanted to be with her, even if it meant death.
“Ah!”
His thoughts became stronger and stronger, suddenly, a short and thin silver needle shot out from his heart, piercing deeply into the pillar, leaving behind an inconspicuous needle hole.
Next, two more silver needles shot out from his heart, piercing through the pillar as well.
Without the suppression of the silver needles, the longing and love in his heart became stronger and stronger. The poison continued to crawl around his small heart, the pain doubled, the red marks lengthened and protruded, it seemed to have become the poison’s path.
Si Mobai panted heavily, he slowly suppressed all the yearning and love he had towards Feng Tianlan, but because of the suppression before, the liberation now was even fiercer than before.
He lowered his head to look at the worm that was still crawling in his heart. Compared to before, it had grown bigger, the time he wanted to extend before was all gone in this moment.
It was all because of his selfish thought earlier. As the worm grew, he regretted it until his intestines turned green.
If he had only looked at her and left in a hurry, instead of telling her to go home with him. If he had only talked to her and not said that he loved her, instead of hugging her, he might have been able to suppress his yearning for a while and save some more time, instead of allowing the worm to grow exponentially now.
If only he was not selfish.
Si Mobai stretched out his hand and held Feng Tianlan’s clothes tightly in his embrace. He buried his head and deeply sniffed the remaining white orchid fragrance on it, “Lan’er.”
…
Feng Tianlan was brought to Feng Manor by a servant of the Si residence. When she entered the manor, it was a familiar sight. It looked like the Xuantian Continent, decorated like the Si Feng Pavilion. The courtyard was filled with white orchid flowers, and there was also a swing with white orchid flowers. Just because she had one when she was young, when she grew up, he had to get one for her.
Feng Tianlan pursed her lips and walked into the room. All the decorations were the same as the Si Feng Pavilion. Even the portrait of the bridge of helplessness looking at each other from afar hanging on the wall was the same. The difference was that the portrait of the Si Feng Pavilion was drawn by the Imperial Preceptor, but this one was drawn by Mobai himself.
“Are you… alright?” Shen Yuan looked at Feng Tianlan worriedly. When she saw the portrait of the bridge of helplessness looking at each other from afar, it made her even more worried.
The painting looked like a representation of Feng Tianlan and Si Mobai. For such a loving couple to have such a painting in their room, it was very strange, right?
Feng Tianlan recovered from looking at the painting and looked at Shen Yuan who was filled with worry. “I’m fine.”
“Why don’t we go back? With our parents, we won’t…” She looked so pitiful, like a little resentful woman who had been abandoned..
