Purple clothes play a long mourning song on the harp, and the wind blows in the moonlit night.
The spring breeze in the deep valley is full of hatred, but I don't know how clear my heart is.
"In my life, I have long stopped looking forward to a good death. Now I am living just to wait for someone to come back."
In the spring of the twelfth year of Xianping, on the eve of Qingming, Xu Hanyi heard Jun Jinsheng say such words for the first time. She had known Jun Jinsheng for ten years, but for the first time she saw the clear and undisguised despair and desolation on Jun Jinsheng's face.
She always knew that Jun Jinsheng was waiting for someone, and she also firmly believed that no matter how long time passed, everything would eventually be worn away. However, she was too young to know that some things could not be erased even by time.
"In two years' time, Qi Sheng will have you to look after this child more."
Xu Hanyi lowered his head and poured a cup of tea for himself and Jun Jinsheng. The tea was fragrant and the tea soup was clear. It was a good tea from Dongyan. Jun Jinsheng had only drank this tea for the past ten years.
"Senior sister... Are you giving your last words?"
Jun Jinsheng was stunned for a moment by her question, and then chuckled: "What are you talking about? It's not time to die yet."
"But..."
"No buts." Jun Jinsheng took a sip of tea, his eyes not falling on Xu Hanyi at all. "In two days, you will set off for Libei. There is one thing to do, and there are many young talents there..."
Xu Hanyi's heart suddenly trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at Jun Jinsheng. He was just surprised that Jun Jinsheng knew what he was thinking about her, so he smiled bitterly and called: "Senior sister..."
"Hanyi." Jun Jinsheng put down the tea cup and stopped looking at Xu Hanyi. "She is my doom."
Xu Hanyi didn't understand at that time why a person could be so persistent with one person, spending youth, manpower, and money just to find someone who might be long gone.
But then she understood.
——Because, she met Xie Bueng.
