It was late at night, Blue Rabbit had no sleepiness, so he got up and dressed to go out.
Dingdang suddenly said, "Lan Tu, you're not asleep yet?" The sudden voice made Lan Tu pause and say, "Yeah, I couldn't sleep. How about you?" Dingdang was asked this question and became a bit unnatural, saying awkwardly, "I...I'm worried about the Three Towers Competition." Lan Tu smiled and said, "Dingdang, you have to believe in yourself. You'll definitely be fine." Dingdang said, "Lan Tu, thank you."
"Right, you were thinking of going out, weren't you? I'll go with you." Blue Rabbit replied: "Okay, thank you, Dangdang." Rather than saying accompanying, it's better to say that Dangdang himself wanted to take a walk.
For Nekomata, she tried her best to make him care more about himself, and she succeeded, but what she got in return was a different kind of feeling - the concern of an older brother for his younger sister.
She was annoyed with him and couldn't understand him, wondering if he really didn't get it or was just avoiding the issue. As for Lan Tu, she felt a deep sense of helplessness. It was Lan Tu who had taught her to be her true self, even when she knew her feelings for Hong Mao, she comforted herself with a smile, without a word of complaint. These two people, she couldn't see through them.
Outside, the water was calm and clear. Two people jumped onto the rooftop and sat shoulder to shoulder together. The stars twinkled, supporting their cheeks, and said casually: "Blue Rabbit, why can't you sleep? Is it because of the Demon Sect?" Blue Rabbit hesitated for a moment, then replied calmly: "Yes."
He lowered his head, and the long eyelashes cast a shadow. His eyes flashed with a complex emotion that was hard to discern. Remembering the past, he thought of the scene where the seven swords were united, and muttered: "Since ancient times, good and evil have never coexisted..."
After finishing, he smiled wryly and let out a light sigh, feeling a bit more helpless in his heart. Dangdang, who was beside him, seemed to be unaware of this and said: "Don't worry, I'll definitely help you guys when the time comes!" Blue Rabbit was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Thanks, Dangdang." Dangdang smiled back, and the two fell silent again. For a while, it became very quiet, with only the sound of insects chirping.
A gentle breeze brushed against her cheek, and a few leaves fell onto Dangdang's body. Dangdang suddenly became interested and asked: "Lan Tu, can you use leaves to blow a tune?" Lan Tu's gaze fell on the leaves in Dangdang's hand, and Dangdang said: "I only know how to blow one tune, it was taught by my mother."
Lan Tu took a leaf from Ding Dang's hand and stuck it to his lips, blowing softly. Although it was just a leaf, the tune was gentle and soothing, making people relax their minds. Ding Dang listened quietly, but didn't notice the subtle tenderness in Lan Tu's eyes.
That melody, she had once played for Amu, as the tune rose and fell, the stars seemed to be listening too, a star in the sky shone brighter than the others, twinkling, as if telling a story.
Inside the house, the rainbow cat on the bed heard this song and sat up, put on his clothes and quietly went out of the door. He had heard it before, that one time, although he was dizzy, but when he heard that song, he felt a force supporting him.
He told himself he couldn't sleep through it, had to stick with it, and in the end, he came to, and he hadn't misheard.
On the rooftop, after the music ended, Dingdang asked sincerely: "Lan Tu, what's this melody? It sounds great, can you teach me?" Lan Tu smiled and said: "Okay, but it's too late today. I'll teach you tomorrow, let's rest first."
Dingdang happily nodded and stood up, ready to jump off the roof. Blue Rabbit suddenly hesitated and said to Dingdang: "You go first, I'll stay for a while longer, and then I'll head back."
Ding Dang took a look at Blue Rabbit, didn't say much, and quietly returned to the room. As for the Demon Sect, she knew a thing or two about it. At that time, because Phoenix Island was on the sea, the Demon Sect did not come here, but it also made people's hearts uneasy. Now that the Demon Sect might make a comeback, Blue Rabbit's worries were normal. Thinking of this, he fell asleep.
Perhaps it was the melody of the flute that made her relax, and Dingdang soon fell asleep. Lan Tu sat alone on the rooftop, gazing up at the starry sky, when a familiar voice came from behind: "You're quite carefree." Lan Tu smiled slightly, without turning around, and said softly: "You're not either, why are you here instead of resting in your room, Rainbow Cat?" Rainbow Cat didn't respond, but sat down beside Lan Tu and said: "On such a beautiful night, it's only fitting that the Palace Master is enjoying herself. I'll keep you company." As he spoke, Rainbow Cat turned to look at Lan Tu and whispered: "You shouldn't catch a chill." His words were filled with concern, and Lan Tu smiled lightly, saying: "I'm fine." Seeing Lan Tu's expression, Rainbow Cat understood a little more, and gently grasped her hand, saying: "No matter what, we'll face it together."
Blue rabbit heard this, smiled faintly. The stars in the sky twinkled, and all things fell into a deep sleep.
