Chapter 207 "I'll wait for you."
As night falls and the stars shine like a silk thread, in the ancient courtyard, two figures interweave in the dim candlelight, creating a warm and subtle picture.
Moonlight filtered through the window lattice and sprinkled onto the bluestone slabs, casting an outline of a couple sitting side by side. Their shadows were very long, as if they were trying to cross the boundaries of time and space and explore the depths of each other's souls.
He, whose name was Yun Che, wore a green shirt, with a look of unruly yet gentle. And he, who called himself Ying, wore a black robe, had a thin figure, but his eyes sparkled with a light deeper than the night sky.
Ying was the sword spirit within his sword. They had been together for millennia, and the relationship had long since transcended that of master and servant, becoming an indispensable presence in Yun Che's life.
Tonight, the cold wind whispers through the window cracks, bringing a bit of coolness.
Yun Che gently stroked the sword, his heart filled with ripples.
He knew that Ying had always longed to embark on the path of cultivation like the practitioners in the mortal world, but his desire for freedom was always suppressed by him for various reasons.
Because he knew very well that once Ying left, who would be able to understand the loneliness and solitude in his heart during these long years?
"Ying, you know, this path of cultivation is not as simple as you think."
Yun Che's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate the night and reach Ying's heart.
Hearing this, Ying curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, which contained a bit of cunning and helplessness.
He said nothing, simply licking the corner of his mouth gently, a movement that carried a hint of childish playfulness. He then tugged even harder at Yun Che's sleeve, a gentle light gleaming in his deep eyes.
"Yun Che, since it's not necessary, why force it? At this moment, I'd rather be with you and share this moment of warmth."
When Yun Che heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart, but it was also mixed with a hint of complicated emotions.
He looked at Ying's delicate but slightly pale face, and thought to himself: The temperature of the human body is naturally better than any cold bedding, there is no need to say more.
but……
His mind was like a tangled mess, with all kinds of thoughts intertwined.
Although Ying is a sword spirit, he also has human emotions and warmth. This intimacy that transcends race makes him feel both warm and uneasy.
The intimacy between men may seem contrary to common sense in the eyes of the world, but between them, it all seems so natural and pure.
"Shadow, you..."
Yun Che hesitated to speak, but ultimately decided to follow his inner voice.
He gently took off his coat and slowly lay down beside Ying. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had quieted down, leaving only their breathing and heartbeats.
Seeing this, Ying's eyes flashed with surprise. Almost instinctively, he quickly snuggled into Yun Che's arms. It was a tacit understanding that needed no words, a trust and dependence that had been with him for a thousand years.
Yun Che's embrace was like a safe haven, allowing Ying to feel an unprecedented sense of peace and contentment.
When the familiar yet unfamiliar temperature tightly wrapped around him, Ying felt an unprecedented shock in his heart.
He realized that all his previous worries were unnecessary.
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with being with a man, but the only person who could make him willingly get so close to Yun Che was him. No matter how the outside world judged them, this emotion, to them, was the most precious treasure in the world.
.......
The moonlight was like water, pouring down on the two of them, adding a touch of tenderness to the quiet night.
Yun Che gently embraced Ying, his fingers unconsciously running through his smooth hair, feeling its delicacy and softness.
Ying snuggled into his chest and closed her eyes, as if the whole world was left with only the sounds of their two breathing, harmonious and beautiful.
"Yun Che, tell me, does reincarnation really exist in this world?"
Ying suddenly spoke, his voice filled with confusion and yearning.
Yun Che smiled slightly upon hearing this, and looked gently into the distance:
"The theory of reincarnation may just be a way for people to hope for the unknown. But in my opinion, as long as there is love and care in one's heart, it is enough to transcend life and death and transcend reincarnation."
Ying felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he heard this. He looked up at Yun Che, his eyes gleaming with determination and happiness.
"Then I wish to be with you for the rest of my life, forever and ever."
Yun Che chuckled softly, reaching out to caress Ying's cheek. That tenderness could almost melt all the coldness in the world:
"Me too, Ying. No matter how the future changes, you will always be the most important person in my life."
The two smiled at each other, and without saying anything, their feelings for each other were obvious.
In this quiet night, they seemed to be able to hear the resonance of each other's heartbeats and feel the deep friendship that spanned thousands of years.
As time passed and the night deepened, the warmth and tranquility in the courtyard remained undiminished.
Yun Che and Ying just hugged each other quietly, as if the whole world had stopped.
They talked about the past, looked forward to the future, and shared each other's dreams and secrets. Their tacit understanding and intimacy were enviable.
However, the good times did not last long. The sky gradually turned pale, indicating that a new day was about to come.
Yun Che knew that with the arrival of sunrise, they would have to face the challenges and constraints of reality.
But he also believed that as long as they were united in heart and hand in hand, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
"Ying, it's almost dawn." Yun Che said softly.
"Yeah." Ying responded and left Yun Che's arms reluctantly.
"We still have plenty of time."
He put his clothes in order and stood up together with Yun Che.
In the new day, they will face their own responsibilities and challenges, but the warmth of last night will always remain in their hearts.
"I will wait for you."
Ying whispered, then transformed into a dark shadow and entered the sword.
Yun Che gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes filled with determination.
They know the road ahead is long, but they are ready.
