Chapter 310: Us in the Years
In late autumn, all the grass and trees in Yuxiang City are withered and yellow.

The fallen leaves fluttering in the wind make the already deserted street even more desolate.

As the sun sets, the shadows of a pair of people are stretched very long.

The two of them strolled leisurely, talking and laughing, which was out of tune with the desolate style of the painting.

It's like going against the world.

"Now, you may be promoted to Jiang Realm at any time." Lu Ran looked at his girlfriend beside him.

"Yeah." Jiang Ruyi was so happy that she couldn't help but smile.

Before, she was afraid of upsetting Lu Ran, so she felt a little awkward, not knowing whether she should tell him the good news.

At this moment, she no longer has any worries.

Jiang Ruyi could feel that Lu Ran was genuinely happy for her.

"Click~"

The black women's boots made strange sounds as they stepped on the withered yellow leaves.

She walked on the curbstone that separated the road from the sidewalk.

She spread her hands flat in the air, occasionally standing on tiptoe, trying to walk in a straight line.

The beauty Ruyi has always been a quiet person.

This slightly naughty action at this moment revealed her inner joy.

"Tell me about your main focus?" Lu Ran looked at his girlfriend with a smile, "Which direction are you planning to pursue?"

"Guess?" Jiang Ruyi suddenly took a big step forward to avoid another dead leaf being crushed to pieces under her feet.

Lu Ran: ???
Kid, are you still guessing?
"Lu Ran." Jiang Ruyi suddenly turned around and walked backwards.

She had a faint smile on her face and looked at Lu Ran gently.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran looked at her boots.

This little game of walking in a straight line has influenced him unconsciously.

She had a good sense of balance, and even when she was taking steps backwards, she didn't make a wrong step.

Lu Ran thought to himself what a pity. When he raised his eyes to look at her face, he found that Jiang Ruyi had turned around again and was walking forward normally.

Lu Ran: “.”

What does it mean?
You called me out of nowhere and then nothing happened?

"I say, you turned the wrong way. We are going to the school to eat mutton hotpot, and this way is leading to your house." Lu Ran suddenly spoke.

"Are you hungry?"

"good."

"Then take this road to school, it's familiar." Jiang Ruyi jumped off the curb, crossed the road and walked towards the desolate area.

This was the route they often took home when they were in high school, and it was also the road to the Wulie River.

Lu Ran suddenly stopped.

With a look of surprise on his face, he was in the middle of the road.

Suddenly, there was a moment when he understood.

Just now, Jiang Ruyi was not calling his name, but giving an answer.

What exactly is her realization about her promotion to Jiang Realm?

"Let's go?" Jiang Ruyi stood across the street and looked back at Lu Ran.

She just thought he was silly, just like when she first brought him home to meet her parents.

"Why, you don't want to treat me to shabu-shabu?"

Jiang Ruyi turned to face Lu Ran, with her hands behind her back and her eyebrows slightly raised.

A dark trench coat, jeans, black boots, and a dark red knitted scarf.

And the long black hair swaying in the wind.

The young and graceful girl of the past has grown into such an elegant and charming person.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the answer.

"Oh." Lu Ran lowered his head and walked towards her quickly.

A person's road to advancement, the feeling that supports his or her progress step by step
Could it be another person?
As soon as Jiang Ruyi said this, she regretted it.

After all, Lu Ran was in a critical period of promotion, and I shouldn't rush him when he was distracted.

Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran cautiously and asked softly, "What were you thinking about just now?"

"Ah." Lu Ran grinned and made up a story, "I thought that if I stood in the middle of the road for a while, I would eventually be able to wait for the ignorant driver.

Boom, you don’t have to go to the store to eat lamb anymore.”

Jiang Ruyi patted Lu Ran's shoulder in anger and amusement.

Instead of eating in a store, do you just pick them up and eat them on the street?

As she thought about it, she still felt unsatisfied and raised one of her long legs again.

I hide~
"Look, you're in a hurry again!" Lu Ran took two quick steps decisively and whispered, "Be more ladylike."

Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran with dissatisfaction and followed him angrily.

The streets leading to the Wulie River are not all desolate.

At least before approaching the abandoned community, there are shops, pharmacies, small restaurants and so on on the roadside.

In the past two months, Lu Ran has visited almost the entire HX area.

He spent the whole day contemplating advancement, but felt frustrated, so he returned to the place where he was born and raised.

"The flower shop is closed during the rainy season." Jiang Ruyi said softly, looking at a shabby sign on the side of the road.

Flowers are not a necessity in life.

But it's like the music that heals people's hearts, the crosstalk and storytelling that helps people fall asleep, the inspiring "Tianjiao", and so on.

People really need these to help them get through the dark and miserable years.

Therefore, the business of this flower shop has always been pretty good.

just now
The wooden fence in front of the store has been removed, and the flowers that decorated the facade are gone. Only a few rusty iron frames and a few flower pots piled in the corner are left.

"It's been closed for a long, long time." Lu Ran said softly.

He still remembered the proprietress, a gentle woman who liked to wear skirts.

However, Lu Ran didn't know her name.

"Think positively." Jiang Ruyi took Lu Ran's arm, "Maybe she moved out of this city."

Indeed, we should think positively.

If you imagine her tragic death on the street with her long skirt stained with blood, it seems a little too sad.

"The Zhang family didn't move away." Lu Ran raised his head slightly and pointed to the small "Wedding Photography" sign next to the flower shop. Jiang Ruyi was silent.

The store is indeed still open, but it has been taken over by his son since Lao Zhang passed away.

When she was in high school, the school required students to submit various one-inch and two-inch photos, and she mostly took them here.

Things are different now.

On this street full of memories, some familiar faces can only emerge in memories.

Lu and Jiang walked silently, looking at the store that they had passed by countless times on their way home.

Old friends are like trees in the garden.
The wind blows one day and the air becomes thinner one day.

As we got closer to the Wulie Riverside Community, the storefronts disappeared.

Lu Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, he walked this road many times.

Through each store, he saw and thought of many people.

Those who are still alive, those who have died, and those who remain in the rain alley forever.

Suddenly, Lu Ran slowed down his pace.

Jiang Ruyi held Lu Ran's arm and noticed his abnormality at the first moment, and also slowed down her pace.

Jiang Ruyi once blamed herself for crossing the road just now.

This time, she didn't interrupt him immediately, but just glanced at Lu Ran's profile quietly.

But she found that Lu Ran was staring blankly ahead.

Following his line of sight, Jiang Ruyi looked around and saw a desolate scene in front of the Wulie Riverside Community.

The street ahead was empty.

Only the dead leaves on the ground were blown to and fro by the wind.

Not even a human figure.

Really not?
In Lu Ran's sight, he saw a pair of illusory figures.

The shadowy boy was wearing a blue and white school uniform, with a schoolbag on one shoulder and a wooden sword in his hand, gesturing towards the sunset.

The shadow girl was also wearing a school uniform, carrying a schoolbag, with a shy look on her face, and walking forward with her head down.

"It's a jade talisman." The shadowy young man said with a smile, but his eyes were determined.

"Why?" The shadowy girl looked at the boy with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"My father is a believer in the Jade Talisman. Every fifteenth night, he goes out to kill evil spirits. He's very powerful!"

The young man raised the wooden sword and covered his eyes with it.

Use the thin blade to block the light of the setting sun.

"So, uncle is a Moon Gazer?" The girl asked with a hint of respect in her eyes.

"No, he's a soldier." The boy lowered his voice a little, as if he was a little depressed. "In order to take care of me, he applied to come to the city and cooperate with the Moon-Watching Unit to carry out missions."

"Uncle, what is your strength level?"

"He is dead. He sacrificed himself." The boy raised his head and looked at the abandoned building not far away.

"Oh, sorry, I don't know." A trace of panic flashed across the girl's face.

"It's okay." The young man did not stop, but suddenly put down the wooden sword that was covering his face.

Lu Ran's heart trembled slightly!
He didn't know whether the boy who walked in front of him was looking at him or at the sunset behind him.

The two pairs of figures walked towards each other without stopping.

He was wearing a school uniform and holding a slightly tattered wooden sword, his face was immature yet determined.

She was wearing a school uniform and a neat ponytail, with a confused look in her eyes.

The boy and the girl walked side by side, with a small distance between them.

He was wearing a hat and a mask, which made his posture more upright and his eyes were peaceful and tranquil.

She was wearing a long windbreaker, looking graceful, with long black hair draped over her shoulders, and tenderness in her eyes.

The young man and woman walked side by side, she holding his arm, with no distance between them.

Two pairs of figures walked forward step by step.

The figures penetrated each other
"So I will join the Yufu sect and complete his unfinished business!" The young man's words came from behind him.

Lu Ran stopped and turned to look.

Jiang Ruyi also stopped, as if realizing something, and looked at the empty street behind him.

"I will protect this city for him!"

"I will kill through every fifteenth night to avenge him."

"One day, I will kill all the evil in this world!"

The shameless words are heard clearly.

With the unique spirit of youth and great ambition.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadows of the young boy and girl walked away step by step towards the sunset.

"Whoo~"

A faint wind and waves arose.

The sky was clear, but suddenly clouds gathered.

Jiang Ruyi opened her eyes slightly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She let go of his hand and moved to the side.

Lu Ran, however, put his arms around her shoulders and held her in his arms.

Jiang Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing. She hugged him gently and buried her face in his shoulder.

In Lu Ran's sight, the shadows of the boy and girl gradually moved away.

But suddenly, for a moment, the shadowy boy turned his head and looked at Lu Ran from afar.

"Thank you." Lu Ran murmured softly, and the energy fluctuations in his body became more and more intense.

The shadowy girl also turned her head, as if she was curious about what the boy was looking at.

It's like.
Her ignorant eyes traveled through the years and time and saw the man and woman hugging each other on the street.

I saw myself in his arms.

Ask for some monthly passes.
