At this time, Mo Xuan smiled faintly and said: "I, Mo Xuan, also have a fate with Miss Blue Rabbit. Let's meet again another day when you're free, how about that?" Blue Rabbit smiled lightly and replied: "That sounds great, Mo Xuan. From now on, just call me Blue Rabbit." Mo Xuan responded: "Alright, Blue Rabbit. I still have something to attend to today, let's meet again another day." After saying this, Mo Xuan cupped his hands together in a gesture of respect and left under Blue Rabbit's watchful gaze.
Blue Rabbit looked at his back, and his heart became a mixture of emotions, unable to express what it was. Perhaps he knew in his heart, but still didn't want to say those two words. Blue Rabbit stood there for half a day, then turned around and left.
Back in the Three Pavilion, Blue Rabbit walked to his own position and sat down. Rainbow Cat said, "You just missed a good show." Blue Rabbit heard this and asked, "Was it another exciting match? We didn't miss much when we combined our seven swords." Rainbow Cat smiled wryly and said, "Someone cheated. It's said that before the match, they created an opportunity to give their opponent a soft bone powder, making them powerless to defend themselves."
Blue Rabbit smiled slightly, seemingly indifferent. The intense battle on stage continued, and Blue Rabbit said softly: "Just now, I met someone, that person's back looks very similar to..." Perhaps the surrounding noise was too loud, and Blue Rabbit's voice was too small, Rainbow Cat didn't quite catch what she said, so he asked: "What?" Blue Rabbit hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Nothing, let's watch the match." Rainbow Cat nodded and continued to focus on the stage, but for some reason, he felt that Blue Rabbit's expression was somewhat unusual, though he didn't pay much attention to it.
The sun sets in the west, and the game also temporarily came to an end. Everyone returned to the inn. After watching the match for a whole afternoon, although it was exciting, I was really tired. Han Tian had a question in his heart all along, maybe he already knew the answer, but he still wanted to hear Ling Tu say it out loud. After dinner, Xiong Jianqiang shouted at the door: "Dingdang, dingdang..." Dingdang said impatiently: "What are you doing?" Xiong Jianqiang smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, you'll know when you come out." After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath and pulled Dingdang out of the inn.
At this time, Lan Tu put away the bowls and chopsticks and went downstairs. Han Tian saw him and followed suit. When Lan Tu finished putting away the bowls and chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen, he found Han Tian standing at the door. He felt suspicious and asked, "Han Tian, is there something?" Han Tian only said, "Come with me for a moment." The scene was just like before. They were still under the tree in the courtyard. Han Tian stopped and turned around, looking at Lan Tu. Being looked at by Han Tian like this made Lan Tu feel a bit uneasy, so he asked, "What do you want to say to me?" Han Tian withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance, asking, "If I ask you again, will your answer still be the same as before?" Lan Tu was taken aback, but he understood in his heart and replied, "Yes."
This time, Blue Rabbit didn't hesitate at all, and directly answered him. One word, striking Lan Tian's heart, actually already knew, why ask her again? Unexpectedly, he didn't think that Blue Rabbit would answer him so straightforwardly.
Trying to suppress the pain in his heart, Han Tian asked softly: "Is it because... of Hong Mao?" Lan Tu was taken aback, he... Lan Tu shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with him, I just don't want to give you false hope anymore." As soon as the words were spoken, Han Tian's body stiffened, and he smiled bitterly: "False... hope..." Lan Tu nodded, his tone becoming softer: "Han Tian, I hope you understand."
"As for him, I only know that when he's hurt, my heart aches, and when he's happy, I'm delighted too. But as for you, I hope you're happy because... you're my friend." "Friend... happiness comes from him, sorrow also comes from him..." Blue Rabbit fell silent, then sighed and said: "Come out, don't hide anymore."
Han Tian was taken aback, and then saw three figures emerging from the side. Upon closer inspection, it was Xiao Li, Ding Dang, and Hong Mao. Xiao Li and Ding Dang looked embarrassed, while Hong Mao apologized with a sheepish expression, "Sorry." Han Tian felt somewhat annoyed - why did someone always eavesdrop on his conversations with Lan Tu? Xiao Li awkwardly said, "Heh heh, Han Tian, Lan Tu, we..." Han Tian said, "Next time, try to change your habit of sneaking around and listening in on others' conversations." His tone was displeased, and Xiao Li and Ding Dang took the hint and left. As they walked away, Ding Dang thought to himself, So Han Tian has feelings for Lan Tu... Hong Mao saw this and said, "I..." but Lan Tu cut him off, saying, "No need to explain, I know you didn't mean it."
She believed that Rainbow Cat was not intentional, Rainbow Cat had always been upright and honest. In fact, Little Lycan had already discovered that Han Tian followed Blue Rabbit downstairs, feeling curious, so she wanted to follow him out to take a look. Who knew that Dangdang saw it, and insisted on following, under duress, she could only bring Dangdang along.
And Rainbow Cat, he thought of Blue Rabbit's unusual expression today, so he wanted to ask Blue Rabbit, but when he saw Han Tian and Blue Rabbit in the yard, he originally thought they had something to say, planning to leave, but happened to see Xiao Li and Dangdang hiding aside, thinking of pulling them away, who knew that Xiao Li pulled Rainbow Cat and said that leaving now would startle them, then with a slightly threatening and pleading tone, didn't let Rainbow Cat go, so like this, Rainbow Cat also became their accomplice.
It all ended like that, and even the cold sky didn't know how it would end. As night fell, for some reason, Rainbow Cat subconsciously came to the rooftop, only to find Blue Rabbit already sitting there, with an unspoken understanding between them. Rainbow Cat didn't say a word, quietly walking over to sit beside Blue Rabbit. After a long silence, Blue Rabbit slowly spoke up: "You knew all along?" Rainbow Cat nodded silently.
"Th...". Blue Rabbit trailed off, after all, she had never said such a thing in front of him before, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed slightly. Under the cover of night, in the moonlight, it seemed even more moving. Rainbow Cat seemed to know what was on her mind, and only said: "I understand." Blue Rabbit sighed, unsure how to continue, and Rainbow Cat gently grasped her hand, speaking softly: "Don't worry, Han Tian will come around." Blue Rabbit smiled slightly at his words.
I don't know how many times I've sat on this rooftop with him, every time we talk, my heart becomes a little more peaceful. Under the starlight, the two of us quietly enjoy each other's company, perhaps because we're too relaxed, neither of us notices the hands clenched tightly at the hem of our clothes, as if using all our strength to hold ourselves back from rushing forward, tears streaming down the corners of our eyes, silently...
