Chapter 297: The Rumor of Nostalgia

When Erin saw Palos again, it was only two days before the wedding.

In fact, this meeting is also very informal, but considering the current situation, no one cares about this unsightly newcomer, so they don't pay attention to it anymore.

"That child, even if he gets a wife, I'm afraid he won't live long." An elder of the Tixiu family said so, and with a big wave of his hand, he allowed an early meeting before the wedding.

Passing through the long and cumbersome corridor of the Tixiu family, touching the ancient and exquisite carvings, Irene followed the servants in front and finally arrived at this remote and quiet courtyard.

The sky was a starry night without light, and there was only a solitary white laurel tree in the yard. The leaves on it had already fallen, and there were still a lot of withered and yellowed debris on the ground.

Stepping on the square slate in the courtyard, listening to the occasional slight noise under her feet, Irene felt that no one had cleaned the place for a long time, knowing that the film season was almost four months ago, and the improved white laurel trees tended to be there. The leaves are all dropped in the first month of the season.

The desolate Atsugi door was slowly pushed open, leaving arc-shaped scratches on the dusty ground. The servant looked for the socket of the gemstone lamp, and then injected magic power to light up the interior.

The facilities inside are still luxurious and exquisite, the exquisite porcelain, old and expensive oil paintings are exactly the same as when Irene visited many years ago, but compared to the past, the place has become extraordinarily deserted, and there is not even a sound.

"Master Palos is in the inner room." The servant walked in front and led Irene to the innermost room on the second floor.

Pushing open the half-closed white door, the dimly lit bedroom came into view.

A pale young man leaning on a thick and high pillow, plain white sheets, plain white pajamas, plain white hair, plain white walls, the whole room is like a world that has lost its color, making people feel pale and prickly pain.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the young man turned his head slowly and looked out the door, his eyes as silent as the bottom of the lake finally revealed some surprise and surprise.

"You're back, Irene." The voice was hoarse and weak, if it weren't for the extra quiet here, I'm afraid it would be hard to hear.

"I'm back, Palos." Irene asked the servant beside her to wait outside first, while she closed the door and slowly walked to the bed and sat down.

She stroked Palos's forehead lightly with her hand, straightened the loose strands of hair one by one, and then slowly clasped the slightly cold arm with both hands.

"Perhaps, I should have come back earlier." Irene said softly, her eyes softly staring at this childhood sweetheart, who is also her fiancé.

"It's okay, Irene can come back anytime." Palos cracked the corner of his mouth as much as possible, showing a smile, and then gently touched Irene's cheek with his other hand.

"It's still as good-looking as when I was a child, Erin." His eyes were hazy, full of nostalgia, as if he had seen the distant past.

The two quietly cuddled with each other, and Palos spoke slowly after a long time.

"I don't like to talk since I was a child, and few people want to associate with me." Palos seemed to have a lot to say to the people in front of him.

"I like some sad poems and paintings, but such hobbies are not understood and tolerated by my father."

"You are a very strange child. He looked at me with complicated eyes at that time, as if he was doubting whether I was biological or not."

"In fact, I myself often doubt it."

"Become a powerful transcendent, a learned person, or a respected master, everyone is excitedly chasing these things of light and heat."

"I also tried to do the same, but unfortunately, every time it came, there was always some discomfort or fear, afraid of being swallowed up by that too hot existence."

"As long as I stand quietly in the corner and watch everyone, I don't like sunbathing very much, I prefer the soft moonlight and indulge in the slightly sad Shi Yao."

"It's definitely not suitable for society, so I was often taught by my father, and even reprimanded, saying that I was impersonal and weaker than a 7-year-old girl."

"I was very panicked. Later, I had to work hard to learn to be with everyone, to go to school together, to participate in various activities, to practice swordsmanship, and to study the practice of extraordinary sequences."

"But, it's really depressing and painful because I'm not that kind of person by nature."

"I feel like I am an outlier, an existence that is difficult to survive in this family."

"However, I still dare not show all of this."

"Until that day, I heard that the eldest daughter of the Hibernian family was ill, and then my father took us to visit, because the Hilani family has a good relationship with us, and an elder also married. "

"At that time, I saw you painting on the hospital bed."

"Eileen has been so beautiful since she was a child. Even if she is sick, she has a feeling of being weak and pitiful. At that time, I and a few children who went with me fell in love with you, and later encouraged adults to visit you again."

"You didn't like to talk much when you were young. Sometimes when you look at us, you look like a child who doesn't understand anything. It makes people feel arrogant and makes people afraid to strike up a conversation easily."

"Everyone gave you all kinds of gifts, and some even tried to make you happy by telling jokes, but you didn't respond to them, and gradually people stopped daring to encourage them."

"Later, I don't know what day, I heard adults say that your illness is cured."

"At first there was a burst of joy in me, but then a greater sense of disappointment came over me, because there was no good reason to go to you anymore

. "

"And then, just like this, I gradually reached the age to get engaged. Although the elves live a long life, the adults seem to want to set certain things in advance to avoid any accidents."

"My father asked my opinion for the first time. I hesitated for a long time, but I still said your name."

"The elders all around laughed at that time."

"Yes, it's quite insightful. My father looked at me with interest, and then continued to tell me that there are already many people who have proposed marriage to the Sileni family."

"However, since my father asked me in front of a group of elders, he still had to behave, so he simply tried to propose to the Sileni family."

"To many people's surprise, the marriage was settled."

"For a long time, several of my brothers and sisters, and even my younger brothers and sisters envied me and asked me how I got Miss Erin's heart."

"Unfortunately, I really don't know, maybe this is a once-in-a-lifetime blessing."

"Because Palos is one of the few people who didn't bother me, or who came to persuade me." Irene recalled the past and talked about the reason she agreed.

"At that time, there were indeed many family members who came to our house. My father also asked me many times, which boy did he like."

"Actually, I didn't like it very much at the time, and I really wanted to reject them all, because I hated many things about the Court of Ice Palace, I hated the same marriage of nobles, the director's repeated life, and I hated the movie season. Six long months before the sun, I hate cumbersome and unchanged rituals and celebrations."

"I read the collection of books at home when I was very young. I know that the life I live today is compared with hundreds or even thousands of years ago, and there is no change. I can even fully predict the trajectory of many people, and I repeat it over and over again."

"If you marry into a noble family, your subsequent life will probably be clearly visible. The track may change slightly, but the scenery along the way and the destination will not change."

"I saw you at that time, and you stood in the corner like everyone said. Although you looked at me and seemed to want to talk, you held back every time."

"I had a curious guess, when will you speak to me, but unfortunately you didn't until the end, which disappointed me a lot."

"Maybe it's fate, that's how I chose you at that time." Irene looked at the pale wrist between her hands and stroked it slowly.

"In the subsequent contacts, I found that you are also an exception. You are not the same as those of your peers, so I don't regret it anymore." Irene said with a nostalgic smile.

"Now that I'm back, you have to keep your promise and get well soon."

"Ha, haha, cough, cough..." Palos smiled first, then covered his face and coughed. As his body didn't tremble once, his face became even paler.

"I'm sorry, Erin."

"I've never been as strong as you, and I may not be able to accompany you to the end."

"If you can, can you tell me about the time you experienced outside during this last period of time?"

"I, I... I can." Irene blinked her eyes hard, trying not to let the warm tears fall down her cheeks, and then told the distant stories in a slightly choked voice.

That strange eastern continent, the world of flying dragons and beasts, the ever-changing heaven and paradise, the magical and bizarre extraordinary factions, all kinds of people and things.
