Nanjing City is a city with a long history, famous for its bustling Qinhuai River.
Every night, countless lights illuminate the Qinhuai River, with boats shuttling back and forth. The lights reflected on the water's surface resemble moving stars, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the city.
However, in the boundless night market, there is a scene unfolding that is completely out of sync with the surrounding ambiance.
In the bustling crowd, a man and a woman are confronting each other with hostility.
The man is handsome and dashing, and the woman is elegant and refined. They should have been a perfect match, but the atmosphere between them is extremely tense.
The woman's eyes reveal a hint of anxiety as she asks the man again, "I'm asking you again, where is Qin Shishi?"
The man seemed a little impatient, his long fingers tapping on the small stall as if searching for something. Finally, he pointed in a direction and said lightly, "Well, it's this one."
His response seemed unrelated to the woman's question, but his indifference and disdain conveyed his displeasure.
Since arriving in Nanjing City, Chou Xuanji has never stopped for a moment.
He has been pulling me, shuttling back and forth in the streets and alleys of this city.
First, we went to the Tianxiang Building and tasted their famous pork hock. Then he took me to the Quyi Building, where we listened to captivating traditional Chinese operas. In the evening, he refused to rest and insisted on taking a walk along the Qinhuai River, saying he wanted to refresh his image in my heart.
Chou Xuanji's actions were all because he felt that, instead of clarifying things with the Qinhuai courtesan Qin Shishi, with whom he had privately agreed to spend his life, he felt it was more important to prove to me that he was not a scoundrel, but a good man.
He seems to be using his actions to tell me that he is a trustworthy person, a chivalrous man with both love and righteousness. However, I have some doubts in my heart.
Because this is simply wasting my time, my impatient heart thought, "Who cares about your importance! What does it have to do with me if you are a scumbag?"
But unexpectedly, what I was thinking in my heart blurted out. Upon hearing this, Chou Xuanji just looked at me quietly, with a hint of disappointment and helplessness in her eyes.
I lowered my head and began to think seriously. Perhaps, Chou Xuanji's actions really have something to do with me.
By the Qinhuai River in Nanjing City, the night was as dark as ink, with stars and lights intertwining to create a beautiful scene. However, against this beautiful backdrop, the conversation between Chou Xuanji and me was filled with tension and discomfort.
Chou Xuanji's voice carried a hint of helplessness and grievance, and his eyes revealed deep sadness: "Because I was inexplicably labeled as a scumbag, I was scolded by my master, scolded by the elders, and even shunned by my fellow disciples. I live under the contemptuous gaze of the public, and my soul has suffered heavy damage. Do you think you have anything to do with this?"
His words made me feel a little guilty and gave me a new understanding of this Mr. who always had a playful and smiling face.
I inexplicably softened and felt a twinge of guilt in my heart.
Because of this, I agreed to accompany him for a walk, hoping to console his wounded soul. However, what infuriated me was that Chou Xuanji never mentioned Qin Shishi's whereabouts, as if deliberately avoiding the topic.
The stall owner attentively took the silver and handed the river lantern to Chou Xuanji.
Chou Xuanji held the river lantern in one hand and held onto me with the other, saying, "I'll take you. It's crowded here, don't get separated."
His hands were warm and strong, catching me off guard. He suddenly grabbed my wrist, and I opened my mouth but couldn't speak, allowing Chou Xuanji to lead me through the crowd.
Finally, we boarded a small boat. Chou Xuanji placed a river lantern in front of me and said, "Come, make a wish."
I was stunned and asked in confusion, "Huh? Make a wish?" I was puzzled and didn't understand why he suddenly brought up making a wish.
"Weren't you supposed to take me to see Qin Shishi? Don't you want to wash away your scumbag reputation?" I asked tentatively.
Chou Xuanji raised an eyebrow, looking knowing. "When did I say that?"
His words annoyed me a bit, and I retorted, "You said it before coming to Jinling."
Chou Xuanji had an innocent look on her face: "Did I say I was taking you to find her? I clearly came to release river lanterns. Look, why else would I buy river lanterns?"
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm my emotions.
Do not get angry, do not get angry, do not get angry.
I opened my eyes and made an effort to force a somewhat decent smile: "So, may I ask, Chou Xuanji young hero, if we're not looking for her, why are we here?"
Chou Xuanji She widened her eyes, a hint of innocence appearing on her face that seemed to beg for a beating. "How would I know? You were the one who was supposed to come."
I froze, feeling a bit annoyed. "Didn't you say I was wronging you? How can we prove it without finding Shi?"
Chou Xuanji He lowered his head to smooth out the slight crease at the edge of the river lantern, nodding, "Indeed."
His attitude surprised me a little. It seems that he is finally willing to face this issue.
"But I don't know her, where should I look?" I said somewhat helplessly.
Chou Xuanji seemed indifferent, "How would I know."
I almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, thinking: You don't even know her, and you want to privately promise a lifetime with her?
At this moment, a painted pleasure boat leisurely glided on the sparkling river, and people on the shore were shouting eagerly: " Qin Shishi! Qin Shishi!"
I'm overjoyed. Now Chou Xuanji probably can't deny it.
Regardless of anything else, I used lightness skill to grab Chou Xuanji and rushed towards the painted pleasure boat.
But I ignored the fact that I was choked by Chou Xuanji just now and couldn't catch my breath. With no inner strength left, I fell into the water with a bang.
Before losing consciousness, I was still thinking, this should be considered a work injury.
