Chapter 554: Trying Hard to Survive for You (1)_1
Hei Zi watched Zi Xiao, who, after shedding a single tear, had remained motionless, and sighed in disappointment. Over the years, they had tried many methods to wake Zi Xiao, bringing in Jiang Yu and others to help, believing this to be the most likely way to succeed. Yet now, still without any response, everyone’s heart turned cold.
After changing the water for the towel, Hei Zi prepared to wipe Zi Xiao’s neck when he suddenly noticed his eyes flicker and became excited, calling out, "Xiao, Xiao!"
Qie Yue and Little Douzi, seeing Hei Zi so agitated, gathered around and watched as Zi Xiao slowly opened his eyes that had been closed for fifty years.
"Qie Yue, are you getting married?" were the first words Zi Xiao spoke upon awakening, inquiring about Qie Yue’s marriage.
With tears twinkling in her eyes, Qie Yue nodded and said, "We were just waiting for you!"
In the moment that Zi Xiao opened his eyes, the heavy snow that had fallen for fifty-two years in the Xuanyue Continent finally ceased...
Not long after Zi Xiao’s awakening, a joyous event took place in the Xuanyue Continent; Qie Yue finally married his beloved and brought Qin Wushuang through the doors. Perhaps because it was the first happy event after the long snowfall, it was celebrated in a grand manner to dispel the previously oppressive atmosphere.
On the day of the grand wedding, Zi Xiao served as their officiant, and despite feeling happy for his brother’s marriage, it couldn’t alleviate the suffocating pain in his heart. So, the day after Qie Yue’s wedding, he left the Xuanyue Continent alone.
He went to the Xuanyue Continent, the place where he and Dugu Qianye had first met. Arriving at the spot in the Yanshan Mountains where they had first encountered each other, he sat where she had once sat and took out a clay flute, gently playing "The Original Scenery of the Hometown" she once played.
She never knew that he had specifically learned vocal music and how to play this tune for her, thinking of playing it for her one day. But that day never came.
