Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 384 Is it or isn’t it?

"Do you want to take a walk together?" Xu Ming asked Zhu Cici.

Zhu Cici was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Xu Ming would actually invite him.

After a little hesitation, Zhu Cici nodded: "Then let's go for a walk together."

"Please." Xu Ming stretched out his hand.

Zhu Cici walked down the steps in front of the door and followed Xu Ming.

The bright moonlight was scattered in the Dragon Palace. Looking up, one could indeed see a full moon in the sky.

Two people were walking on the road outside the Dragon Palace. They had no destination in mind, they were just wandering around.

But in Zhu Cici's heart, her heartbeat accelerated, and she couldn't help but look at Xu Ming from time to time.

"How come the deep sea is the same as day and night? There is even the sun during the day and the moon at night." Xu Ming asked curiously, picking a random topic to avoid the awkward atmosphere between the two sides. "Could it be that the sun and moon in the Dragon Palace under the sea were created by themselves?"

"No, the sun and moon we see now are actually all illusions. They are just reflections of the sky."

Zhu Cici explained.

“And not all deep seas are the same. Only in the cities under the sea will there be such a clear distinction between day and night.

Rumor has it that the Dragon Queen created this magic circle ten thousand years ago because she wanted her lover to live under the sea just like they did on land.

At the beginning, the cost of building this magic circle was extremely high, and it used countless rare and precious materials.

But this magic circle is indeed very useful, and it has greatly improved the sea people's schedule, so that they will not be at a loss when they go to land.

So after thousands of years of improvement, the cost of this magic circle has been reduced, and it has been widely used. Basically, in the seabed, whether it is the East Sea, the West Sea or the South Sea, any city under the sea will use such a magic circle. "

"I see. I'm enlightened." Xu Ming nodded. "By the way, the Dragon Queen is really willing to sacrifice everything for her beloved."

Zhu Cici looked at Xu Ming's profile and said slowly, "This is what it's like to fall in love with someone. You won't calculate the cost."

Listening to Zhu Cici's words, Xu Ming turned his head and looked at Zhu Cici, but Zhu Cici immediately looked away.

Xu Ming looked at Zhu Cici's beautiful profile and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xu Ming felt that what Zhu Cici had just said seemed to be more than just about the Dragon Queen.

Xu Ming continued to walk forward. Zhu Cici walked side by side with Xu Ming. The two did not speak and fell silent again.

Zhu Cici looked at Xu Ming beside him again, and only then did he realize that the little boy had grown so tall.
When Zhu Cici first met Xu Ming, he was amazed that the little boy had grown so big, but when the two stood together, it seemed even more real.

"I've heard a story before." Xu Ming said slowly.

Zhu Cici raised his head and looked at Xu Ming: "What story?"

Xu Ming continued, "The story goes like this. There was once a little girl who had a very hard life when she was little. One time, her mother took her to the street, and the little girl fell in love with a hairpin.

But the hairpin was very expensive, so the little girl's mother didn't buy it for her. Then the little girl kept thinking about it and wanted the hairpin all the time.

When the little girl grew up and had some money, she happily bought the same hairpin as she had back then.

But in the end, after the little girl got the hairpin flower from her childhood, she found that the hairpin flower she had been longing for at that time was actually just like that.

After that, the girl kept the hairpin flower in the drawer and never took it out for a long time."

After listening to Xu Ming finish the story, Zhu Cici lowered his head.

Zhu Cici didn’t know whether Xu Ming heard this story or made it up, but it didn’t matter.

Zhu Cici is a very smart girl. Not to mention that Xu Ming’s words were so simple, Zhu Cici naturally knew what Xu Ming meant.

"I don't think so." Zhu Cici said, clenching her little hands.

"Hmm?" Xu Ming looked at Zhu Cici.

There is persistence in the girl's eyes.

Zhu Cici: "The reason why the little girl didn't wear the hairpin was probably not because she didn't cherish it, but because she valued it too much and wanted to keep it well.

Perhaps when no one knows about it, the little girl, who has already grown up, will take out the hairpin and take a good look at it.

After that, no matter how many precious jewels the girl has, this hairpin will always be the most important in her heart."

Xu Ming: “.”

"Miss Cici." Xu Ming sighed, "Even so, people are different from objects. Objects remain the same no matter how long they are kept, but people will change."

"Then Mr. Xu, have you changed?" Zhu Cici stopped.

Xu Ming also turned around slowly and looked directly into Zhu Cici's eyes.

"I think it has changed." Xu Ming thought for a moment and said, "I'm very happy that Miss Cici still remembers me. It's my honor that Miss Cici remembers me. However, Miss Cici's affection for me may be because of the little kid I was before, because of that beautiful childhood, not the me now."

Xu Ming was not going to beat around the bush. Many things just needed to be made clear. Beating around the bush would only cause more trouble: "When Miss Ci Ci saw me again, she just applied the old me to the present me.

In fact, the more Miss Cici came into contact with me, the worse her impression of me became, and the more disappointed she became in me.

Maybe one day, Miss Cici will think - he has become this kind of person now, completely different from before."

Zhu Cici looked into Xu Ming's eyes, with a hint of resentment in his tone: "So, this is why you keep your distance from me, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Ming thought for a moment and said, "I guess so."

Zhu Cici pursed his lips tightly and clenched his fists. After three breaths, Zhu Cici took a step forward, walked in front of Xu Ming, and raised his head:
“Is it or isn’t it?
After all, Mr. Xu didn't want to ruin the beauty of my childhood, so he distanced himself from me.

Or maybe Master Xu already has someone else in his heart, and there is no room for Ci Ci anymore."
