Chapter 6 Chapter 6

Last night was still a golden full moon, hanging in the dark blue night sky, and tonight's moon has lost a piece, which is cold and silvery white, reflected on the water waves of the lake. "So, didn't you all enjoy the flowers at my window that night?" Chu Yuan smiled as he walked on the quiet path. His voice has a faint nasal sound, which is very pleasant, Baicao couldn't help but raised his head in a daze.Under the moonlight, his face had a transparent light, and there was a light in his eyes that made her hold her breath. When she breathed, his breath was like the night she first met him. There was a vague smell of disinfectant, so clean. Incredible.

"So, you think Eun-soo is my girlfriend?" Chu Yuan shook his head with a smile. After a while, without hearing her voice, he stopped and stared at her deeply: "Do you think so too?" "...Well," Baicao stared at her toes for a long while, "... yes." Chu Yuan seemed to be stunned. She could feel his gaze on the back of her head, and she lowered her head nervously, not daring to look at him.After a long time, he sighed lowly, rubbed the top of her hair, but walked forward slowly without saying anything. Baicao stood there blankly. Looking at Chuyuan in front of him, his back was reflected obliquely and long on the path, her heart seemed to be caught, she hurried to catch up, and murmured uneasily, "I'm sorry."

Walking with her, Chuyuan's voice was very quiet: "Is it because of this that you have been avoiding me in the past few days?" "……Ok." "Silly girl," he whispered with more relief in his voice, "You made me think..." "Ok?" "In the future, don't think about it anymore." On the small road, his and her shadows were together, and there was a faint breath of dew in the night wind. "If you want to know anything, you can ask me directly. Do you understand?" "Yes." She nodded solemnly. "I told you that day." Seeing her serious expression, Chuyuan couldn't help but rubbed her hair again, and sighed softly, "How could you misunderstand me?"

Under the moonlight, her hair was so cool and her eyes were so bright. Gradually, his fingers seemed to be enchanted, and he couldn't move away from her hair. He stared deeply at her, and she also stared blankly. with him. The night breeze is fragrant. The sound of insects came and went from afar. Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, her eyes were shining like stars, her face was getting redder and redder, suddenly, she didn't dare to look at him anymore, her heartbeat wanted to jump out of her throat, her eyelashes trembled in a panic, she dodged back, His hands hugged her shoulders with a "huo"...

Her mind went blank. In her ears was the sound of her heart beating so fast, she was blushing and at a loss, and it took an unknown amount of time before she suddenly realized that it was not her heartbeat, but his. "Baicao..." Chuyuan called her name softly, there was a trace of uncertainty in her voice, her eardrums were buzzing, as if blood was surging, she thought she answered him, but her voice was not much louder than the buzzing of insects. "……Ok." "If you have to say it again," Chu Yuan closed his eyes and hugged her even more tightly, "Baicao, I like you."

At that moment, his breath was on top of her head, his heartbeat was beside her ear, his palm was very hot, the temperature penetrated through her clothes, ironing every cell in her body, at that moment, she seemed to be able to Hearing any small sound in the world, you can distinguish the difference between every sound of insects in the distance, you can feel the difference between every leaf blown by the night wind, and it seems, like in a dream that you can't wake up, even every leaf I can't even move my fingers. "But Senior Tingyi..." She was in a trance. "No," he understood what she was asking, hugged her, and said quietly on top of her head, "There has never been anyone except you."

When he finally let go of her. The world has become so different. The two stood dazedly, looking at each other, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything, Chu Yuan's face was also slightly red, and there was a light in her eyes that made her dare not look.After a while, Chuyuan gently held her hand, she lowered her head in panic, curled her fingers in his palm, and then let him hold her hand gently. The moonlight is like water. small road. The two walked quietly side by side. The night wind blew by, and the insects sang again and again. As long as she raised her eyes, she would see his bright and gentle eyes. As long as she lowered her head, she would see the hands clasped with him again.That kind of tranquility, like a thread, entangled her heart more and more tightly, as if it was about to be stretched.

"...If you want to know anything," Baicao struggled for a moment and said hesitantly, seeing the moonlit lake not far away in the quiet and tense atmosphere, "I can ask you directly, can't I?" "Yes," Chuyuan said warmly, "what do you want to know?" "...I," she hesitated at last, "...I sat by that lake last night and heard the conversation between you and Eun-soo." The water waves on the lake surface were rippled layer by layer by the night wind. "You heard everything? Including the relationship between me and Eun-soo..."

"yes." The moonlight spread like fine silver on the ripples, Chu Yuan remained silent for a long time, until he walked under the dense banyan tree, he slowly let go of her hand, and looked at the branches that covered the sky and covered the sun . "In Songbai Gymnasium, there is also such a banyan tree." After a long time, Chuyuan said quietly, "When I was young, I liked that banyan tree the most. It was very cool in summer and the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves was very pleasant. I practice exercises and read books under the banyan tree every day. Because I like it so much, I purposely built a wooden house near it, so that I can see it when I open the window.”

Baicao listened carefully. She naturally remembered the banyan tree, which was older and more luxuriant than the one in Changhai Taoist Museum.During the days when Chuyuan went overseas, she often stood under the banyan tree, staring blankly at the small wooden house that was no longer lit. "My mother said that the banyan tree was planted by the old owner of the Pine and Cypress Gymnasium many, many years ago. When she was a child, she often played under the banyan tree." Touching the trunk of the banyan tree, Chu Yuan smiled, " It’s just that I was always wondering why my mother didn’t like that banyan tree anymore when she grew up, and why every time she saw that banyan tree, she always felt sad.”

Baicao listened blankly. The night wind rustled the leaves. "It's the same with my father. Every time he sees that banyan tree, his expression is always more complicated, just like when he was watching my game." Chuyuan touched the protruding knot on the trunk with ecstasy, speaking at a fast pace. Slowly, "When I was young, I thought that as long as I won the competition, my father would be happy. Moreover, I like competitions, and I like to lead the Songbai Gymnasium to win all the way." As if thinking of something, Chuyuan shook his head and smiled. "Father is indeed very happy. When he won the challenge for the first time, my father rushed up and hugged me tightly. I still remember his excited laughter until now. But gradually, I found that Things didn’t go as I thought. My father’s emotions seemed painful and contradictory. Every time I won a victory, my father was really happy, but in the game, I sometimes saw my father looking at me...” Chu Yuan's voice stopped. The moonlight poured down through the branches and leaves, outlining his figure with a faint silver glow. After a long silence, he came back to his senses and said: "...just like when my mother looked at the banyan tree, my father's eyes were sad, a kind of sadness. Unable to dissipate, a growing sadness." Baicao was completely dumbfounded. Seeing her like this, Chu Yuan smiled.He lowered his head, stared into her eyes, and asked, "Can I continue listening?" Baicao stared blankly at him. "..." Her voice was rough, and her heart was in a mess, "I'm sorry...I...I shouldn't ask these..." Chu Yuan shook his head. The dense branches and leaves covered the night sky, only scattered moonlight and starlight leaked through. He stretched out his hand and held her right hand. He gently pulled her to sit down together. middle. His fingers are a little cold. The palm is still warm. "Then, one day, my mother told me not to practice Taekwondo anymore." Chuyuan slowly recalled, "At that time, I couldn't accept it. I like Taekwondo and the feeling of competing. I asked my mother why , she didn’t say anything, just told me, stop practicing.” Baicao's fingers trembled. She couldn't believe it, it was the lady who was as beautiful and gentle as a fairy who ordered Brother Chuyuan to quit Taekwondo? "No." Seeming to know what she was thinking, Chuyuan said quietly: "Mother is a gentle person. Seeing that I don't want to accept it, I didn't say anything. It's just that her expression is getting sad day by day. I know that she is Worried about father." "Until that time, we won the gymnasium challenge again. That night, Eun Soo came." Chu Yuan smiled slightly, with a soft star in his eyes, "She actually came from Korea secretly, At that time, she was a little girl, just like you back then, but she liked to smile more." His fingers gradually warmed up. "When I saw her for the first time, I had an inexplicably familiar and friendly feeling. She said to me, 'I watched your game, do you know that you are very, very similar to a relative next to me when you are playing. '" Even though many years have passed, he still remembers every word of what Eun Soo said very clearly. "Very, very similar..." Chuyuan murmured again, with complicated emotions in his expression. After a while, he looked at her sideways, smiled, and said, "Look, this is a very simple story. He I grew up with my father and mother. They are brothers and sisters. He was obsessed with Taekwondo. Once the three of them finally entered the high-status Changhai gymnasium at that time to practice. Because of his outstanding qualifications, he was retained and never left again. .Later, he married the daughter of the owner of Changhai Daoguan, and inherited the mantle of Grandmaster Fenghe, although..." "Senior Brother Chuyuan..." Baicao's voice trembled slightly with strong uneasiness in his heart. "Eunxiu said that he didn't know that his mother was pregnant at the time. If he had known, he might not have made such a choice." Chu Yuan looked at the sparkling light on the lake, "But, no matter whether the mother was pregnant or not, at that time His mother is engaged to him." The branches and leaves of the banyan tree are as dense as a canopy. The night breeze is slightly cool. "So, you have since quit Taekwondo?" Baicao stared blankly at Chuyuan, in her heart, he has always been a fairy-like existence, free from the troubles and dust of the world. Chuyuan smiled slightly and said, "So I understand my mother. She saw that I was too obsessed with Taekwondo at that time, and she was afraid that I would become like him." After staying for a while, she asked in a daze: "Do you feel it's a pity? You used to like Taekwondo so much." "For a while, I was not used to it, and I was practicing legwork even in my dreams." Chu Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Later, I gradually discovered that the world is very big, and besides Taekwondo, there are other things that interest me. For example, Chinese medicine Acupuncture and moxibustion, there are so many acupuncture points on the human body, and different acupuncture points, with different strengths, will have completely different curative effects, which also fascinates me." Fog hangs over the top of the mountain at night. Bright moonlight, a simple and elegant courtyard. Eunxiu took the long-simmered soup from her mother, walked through the corridor, and walked to a pavilion with rolling curtains on all sides, rolled up the beige bamboo curtains, and bent down to get in. "Father, this is the caterpillar fungus stewed by my mother. You can drink it while it's hot." Looking at the figure who was meditating cross-legged, Enxiu smiled in her eyes and said in a crisp voice, "You have retreated for three months this time. Come out, my mother and I will forget what you look like!" The night wind made the bamboo curtain shake slightly. Yun Yue closed his eyes and crossed his legs. "Today, I went to watch the final game of the best camper in the training camp. As expected, Junior Brother Sheng Hao won the men's team. However, I still miss the game where Ting Hao won the championship three years ago. Ting Hao was that A player with a natural kingly radiance that makes all opponents want to surrender, although Junior Brother Sheng Hao has improved rapidly, his momentum is still a bit weaker." The joyful voice was like the ding ding dong dong of a brook. Enxiu thought for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "I also found a very good girl named Qi Baicao. She is down-to-earth and smart. You can see her tomorrow." Moonlight shines through the bamboo curtain. Yun Yue seemed to have settled down, unable to feel anything outside his body. "Maybe, she will become my strongest opponent." Eunxiu became a little excited, and her eyes became brighter. "Father, please guide her well. I think she has great potential!" There was a moment of silence. Touching the heat preservation cup with her fingers, it was slightly cooler than before. Eunxiu turned her head and saw her mother standing there not far away. Then she looked at her father who was still in meditation, smiled, and said, "Father, sometimes I feel a little lonely…” In front of outsiders, although my father rarely spoke, his attitude was always gentle.But at home, facing mother and her, father is always alienated as if he doesn't belong here at all. "It would be great if you could talk to me," she sighed, shaking her head and laughing, "Or, if I have an older brother who can be with me day and night... Or, if I can have an evenly matched opponent, With the goal of defeating her..." Pushing the thermos cup to the front of her father, Eunxiu bowed deeply, not disturbing her father's cleaning anymore, she bent down and got out of the pavilion, and put the bamboo curtain back in place.Walking through the corridor, she walked up to her mother, who was full of longing. "Father said to eat later. Father told you to go back to the room to rest. He said that the wind is cool, and he is worried that you will be weak and get sick again." While speaking in sign language, Enxiu's eyes were full of smiles. Mother compared her hands. "Of course it's true," Eun-soo said coquettishly, "Mom, don't you know your father? He cares about our mother and daughter the most. You can't misunderstand my father just because he doesn't like to talk." Watching her mother's withered and emaciated back, Eun Soo stood for a long time, she suddenly wanted to know── Father, don't you feel lonely... "Silly girl, don't worry about me." Seeing Baicao's dazed look, Chuyuan smiled and rubbed her hair, "I've put this down a long time ago. But you, because you heard this last night, you were almost in a trance Lose the game, huh?" She blushed. "I... I thought..." "Don't think so much," he gently squeezed her palm, and said, staring at her, "Ting Hao once lived here for a while, and he mentioned that Grandmaster Yunyue's attainments in Taekwondo have already reached the peak. You can be It is a rare opportunity for Master Yunyue to personally give advice, so we must grasp it well, understand?" "Yeah." She nodded slowly. However, looking at his peaceful eyes like moonlight, she hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously: "...Have you seen him?" "No." "...Do you want to see him?" Chuyuan seemed to be taken aback, he raised his head, looked at the lake in the distance, and said, "So what if I see him? No, I don't want to see him..." "Let's not talk about it," looking away from the lake, Chu Yuan smiled and looked back at her, "You don't have time to go out tomorrow, do you need me to buy something for you? You bought the gift for Master Qu ?" "what!" Baicao was reminded, she opened her eyes wide, yes, she still has a lot of things to buy.Now she got the bonus of the best camper, she has money, and can buy Korean ginseng for Master!Also, there is Dajiang who promised Senior Ting Hao... "Make a list for me, and I'll buy it for you tomorrow." Taking out a pen from his pocket, Chu Yuan began to record.Between his fingers was a black pen with a golden tip. Baicao looked at it blankly, feeling warm in her heart. That pen was given to him by her. In the early morning, Xiaoying stretched her waist, Mimi stared and opened her eyes, Huo Di was startled, a man was kneeling and sitting beside her, waiting for her to wake up. "It's scary!" Patting her chest, Xiaoying sat up and said in shock, "Baicao, why are you staring at me so affectionately all of a sudden? I'm so used to it. Did you suddenly fall in love with me? Hahahaha!" "She has been 'staring' at you for almost half an hour." Mei Ling said while applying face cream. "Wow! Have you really fallen in love with me!" Xiaoying rushed to Baicao excitedly, "I love you too! I love you too! Woooooooooo, Baicao, I have actually been secretly in love with you for a long time!" Being hugged so passionately by Xiaoying, Baicao blushed in embarrassment and stammered, "No, no, I want to find that Taoist uniform..." "Taoist clothes? Which one?" "That set...the new one..." "Oh──!" Xiaoying remembered that Baicao refused to bring the new Taoist uniform before leaving, so she stuffed it into her suitcase and brought it here in a rage.But Baicao helped fight that suitcase all along, so she wasn't tired at all. "It's in that box, just go and get it yourself," Xiaoying let go of her sadly, and said with tears in her eyes, "Why did you deceive me like this, deceive my pure feelings, I thought you finally loved me?" Fucked me, and ended up being hurt like this..." "Stop! Stop! The expression is too fierce, the scene is over," Mei Ling commented, "This is the right way to act, look at me, 'Baicao, how can you...'" The brand-new gi uniform is snow-white and snow-white. Looks great in the morning sun. "It's so beautiful." After folding the thin quilt, Guangya raised her head and saw Baicao in her new Taoist uniform, she couldn't help admiring. "Yes, very beautiful." Lin Feng also stood up and touched the Taoist uniform, "The material is also very good, soft and sweat-absorbent, why haven't you seen you wearing it before?" Carefully folding the old uniform, Baicao blushed and said, "I... I'm afraid it will get dirty... I don't want to wear it..." "Haha, Senior Brother Ruobai didn't allow her to wear it." Xiaoying, who was discussing acting skills with Mei Ling, turned her head, blinked and said, "What, because I'm going to see Master Yunyue, aren't you afraid that Senior Brother Ruobai will scold you today? " In the courtyard, the girls walked out of the room happily, Kou Zhen and Shen Bo were already waiting there.Today, except for Baicao, everyone is doing group activities. Min Zai packed a car and acted as an interpreter to accompany everyone out to play. Seeing Ruobai, Baicao felt a little embarrassed. Ruobai also saw her. She was wearing a brand-new snow-white Taoist uniform, with a black belt fluttering gently in the morning breeze, her short hair was combed carefully, and the strawberry hairpin pinned to her bangs, sparkling red, shining like a deer in her eyes Like, very black and bright. Ruobai didn't say anything, and turned his head to explain something to Yifeng.Baicao breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Chuyuan again in the crowd, her face blushed, and she looked away in embarrassment. Chuyuan also saw the Taoist uniform on her body. It was the first time he had seen her wear it, except that she had worn it excitedly on her birthday and came to show him.He knew that she wouldn't care about the brand of Dao clothes, but when he first saw this soft and beautiful Dao clothes, he felt that it should belong to her. Chuyuan turned her head back with a smile until she turned her eyes away with flushed cheeks. He introduced the itinerary for today's trip to everyone, and reminded everyone to remember his mobile phone number.Then he said that he still had some matters to deal with, so he would not set off with everyone, and then he left the courtyard with a senior disciple of Changhai Daoguan. Seeing the crowd follow the people into the car, Ruobai said lightly to Baicao, "Let's go, it's getting late." "Aren't you going?" Seeing that the car had already driven away, Baicao asked suspiciously. "When you accept the guidance of Grandmaster Yunyue, I will stay outside. If you need anything, just tell me." Ruobai walked towards the mountain road. "I don't need anything," she said anxiously after chasing after him. "It's rare to come to Korea. You haven't left the Changhai Gymnasium once. You can go play with them. I can take care of myself..." "Are you sure you want to wear this Dao uniform?" Interrupting her, Ruobai frowned. "..." Baicao faltered, blushing. "Then, treat it as an old Taoist uniform, don't restrict your hands and feet, but let it become a drag on you." Ruobai said solemnly. "Yes." She answered sternly. "Listen carefully to Grandmaster Yunyue's instructions, every word must be firmly engraved in your mind, understand?" Ruobai told her. "yes." The trees on the mountain are lush and full of wild flowers.Walking all the way to the top of the mountain, the simple and elegant courtyard seemed to be surrounded by faint clouds, like a stroke in a light ink landscape painting. Looking up at it from a distance, Baicao began to feel a little nervous. Go to the top of the hill. Min Shenghao was waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Seeing Ruobai and Baicao approaching, Min Shenghao bowed to the two of them, his eyes stayed on Ruobai for a second longer, then looked back at Baicao, and said, "Please follow me." Ruobai silently bowed back to Min Shenghao, guarded outside the courtyard gate, and did not go in. Following Min Shenghao, Baicao walked quietly. The courtyard was quiet and deep, and except for a few birdsong, almost no sound could be heard.Bend over a long corridor, there is a pool of clear water in front of you, sparkling in the morning sun. There is also a banyan tree beside the pool, which is also so dense that it blocks out the sun. It seems to be the same as the one by the lake in the valley. age of the tree. A pavilion with bamboo curtains on all sides is adjacent to the pool. Baicao was a little stunned. The scenery in front of her reminded her of the small wooden house in the original, which was actually different and not very similar, but the smell, the tranquility, seemed to have some indescribable connection. Min Seung Ho opened a door. It was pitch black inside, Baicao collected his mind and followed Min Shenghao.There is actually a road in the house, which is as dark as a tunnel, and you can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hands. Occasionally, when your fingertips touch it, it turns out to be a cold wall stone, soaked in slightly cold water vapor. I don't know how long I walked. Thousands of lights suddenly burst out in front of my eyes! Baicao subconsciously covered it with the back of her hand, and when she finally opened her eyes, she immediately stared blankly. In front of him is a cave, an extremely huge cave, with a gurgling stream in the cave, and some murals on the cave walls, which look familiar.There is a gap above the cave, and the sunlight rushes down like a waterfall, filling the cave with golden light! "Disciple Min Shenghao, and Qi Baicao, the most winning female camper of this Taekwondo summer training camp, pay homage to Grandmaster Yunyue." Min Shenghao bowed deeply, his voice extremely reverent. Baicao hurriedly bowed deeply together. There was no sound in the cave. After waiting for a while, there was still no sound. Baicao turned her head slightly to look at Min Shenghao in puzzlement, and saw that he was still holding his breath and bending down.Following the direction in which he saluted, she looked, looked again, and suddenly, she was stunned—in the light shining directly from the top of the cave. There seems to be a figure! That figure is like a piece of transparent water, reflected in that piece of light, and seems to be a ray of light itself, so it is hidden among thousands of rays of light, and when you look carefully, it seems that the figure is ordinary and nothing special, just quiet Sitting cross-legged quietly is too quiet, so it is like air, melting into the golden sunlight. "Please get up." In the light and shadow, the sound is like quiet water vapor, there is no arrogance, only tranquility and gentleness.Baicao was startled when she heard that, and she saw that Min Shenghao had straightened up out of the corner of her eyes, so she stood up straight, so she saw the legendary Grandmaster Yunyue. "You are from China, aren't you?" Grandmaster Yunyue asked quietly. Baicao looked at him blankly, and replied, "Yes." "What's your name?" "Qi Baicao." "What's the meaning of this name?" Grandmaster Yunyue asked quietly. "Father said that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs to find the real medicine, and if he wants to do a good job, he must work hard and work hard." "Ok." Grandmaster Yunyue pondered for a moment, and later said to the two: "As the winner of the best camper, I will guide each of them for a day. Baicao, when are you going back to China?" "Tomorrow." Baicao replied. "Okay, then today I will guide you first. Shenghao, you can go back first." "Yes." Min Shenghao left respectfully. The sun was shining brightly in the cave, and Baicao stared blankly at Grandmaster Yunyue. Although she knew it was impolite, she couldn't take her eyes off.No, that's not Grandmaster Yunyue, that's... Chuyuan. Although he is much younger and older than Chuyuan, although his eyes are old and have deep loneliness, they are still clean and gentle, like the starlight shining through the branches of a banyan tree. Will that be Chuyuan many years later... "Practice all your kicks first." Grandmaster Yunyue said quietly, as if turning a blind eye to her dazed gaze. "……yes!" Taking a deep breath, Baicao forced herself not to look any more. She walked to the wide area of ​​the cave, held her breath, and shouted—— "drink!" In the waterfall-like sunlight, Baicao clenched her fists and concentrated on the most basic forward kick, side kick, side kick, back kick, down chop, hook kick, back spin kick, and push kick. Although there was no opponent in front of her, But every time she kicked, she ordered herself to use all her strength, and regarded the air within the attack range in front of her as a target that must be kicked down! "Drink---!" After practicing the basic legwork, she yelled loudly and jumped up! The spin attack is her favorite form of attack. The spinning side kick, spinning back kick, and spinning double flight evolved from the basic legwork are the ways she feels the most powerful. Will feel more powerful! "Drink---!" During the spin in the air, the stirred air brushed her cheeks. At that moment, she spun and stayed in the air. The sun was so dazzling, just like the ripples on the lake last night. ... "...Have you seen him?" "No." "...Do you want to see him?" Chuyuan seemed to be taken aback, he raised his head, looked at the lake in the distance, and said, "So what if I see him? No, I don't want to see him..." ... "Drink---!" Shouting loudly, Baicao ordered herself not to be distracted, turned around and leaped high into the air, at the highest point in the air, she shouted again, using double flying and triple kicking! "Snapped!" First kick! "Snapped!" Second kick! It has been a while since she has been using Shuangfei Triple Kick, and she is becoming more and more able to grasp the rhythm. She is no longer just able to kick three kicks, and the strength and direction of each kick seem to be more and more controllable! "Crack!" She kicks her third kick into the air! ... "Brother, will you blame me..." The full moon was golden yellow the night before, and when she looked up, she could see Chuyuan and Eunxiu under the banyan tree, and the night wind carried their voices to her ears. "I should at least arrange for you to meet your father," Eun-soo said in a low voice, "I've always wanted my father to see you." "It's okay, I didn't want to see him." Chu Yuan comforted her. "Father is a lonely person. Since I was sensible, I have never seen my father happy." Eun-soo's voice was a little astringent. "I often think that my father should regret it. If he could choose again, he would definitely not choose to stay. Come down, there will be no living with my mother, and there will be no birth of me." "If he chooses to stay, he must already know what he will lose and what he will gain." Chuyuan said silently, "If he chose to return to China at that time, he might not be able to achieve his current achievements in Taekwondo throughout his life. By then, he Maybe you will regret it too.” The night wind blows gently. "What if father knew at that time that he already had you?" Eunxiu's voice was slightly suppressed, "Would he still choose that way?" "..." Chu Yuan seemed to smile, and said, "How do you know? He didn't know that he had me at the time? Both his hometown and his fiancée can be given up. A fetus is not enough to shake his determination." "No, it's not like this..." Eun-soo struggled to say, "That year, when I ran to you, I secretly visited your mother. She was so beautiful and gentle that even I just looked at her. After a few glances at her, it will never be forgotten." "Father has always been hard to forget her..." Eun-soo's voice dropped, "So, even though my mother regards my father as a god and dedicates her whole life to him, there is no place for a mother in my father's heart." The branches and leaves of the banyan tree rustled. Chuyuan seemed to whisper something to Enxiu, but it was blown away by the night wind, and when he could hear clearly again, it was Enxiu's voice again. "...the first time I saw you, you are so charming on the court, you are so heroic, and you are like a young fairy in Chinese mythology," Enxiu smiled lightly, "I am very proud, I think , Ah, he looks so good-looking, if it wasn't for my brother, I would definitely fall in love with this boy." far away. She heard that Chuyuan seemed to be smiling. "At that time, I recognized you as my brother at a glance, because you were so similar to my father! In fact, in terms of appearance, you looked more like Mrs. Yu, but your look during the game, the light in your eyes during the game, and Father is exactly the same." As she spoke, Eunsu's cheerful voice gradually faded. "However, I have never seen my father when he is happy. Although my father is gentle, he is always silent and so lonely. He never lets my mother and I into his world." After a pause, Eun-soo whispered , "Brother, I have always wanted my father to know your existence, so that my father may be happier." Chu Yuan didn't speak. "But now, bro, you're really here, but I'm starting to be afraid again," Eun-soo's voice could not conceal the worry, "my father is my mother's life, and my mother's health is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid... I Afraid that if my father sees you, if my father decides to leave Korea and return to his hometown...then my mother, will she not be able to bear it..." "I'm a selfish person," Eun Soo's voice became lower and lower, "Brother, I'm sorry..." "You are not wrong, the past is over, don't let it hurt more people." The moonlight quietly fell from the branches and leaves, Chuyuan's voice was gentle and low, "It is good to see you. After these years, you have grown up, you have practiced taekwondo better, you look more beautiful, and you think things more maturely, so I feel relieved." ... "Drink---!" Kicking Shuangfei's third kick with all his strength, Baicao yelled and landed from the air.The floor of the cave is covered with a kind of grass, which feels like a mat when stepped on. She loosened her clenched fists, adjusted her breathing, and stood up. "Sit." Grandmaster Yunyue motioned her to sit on a futon. "Yes." Baicao sat down cross-legged in a daze. If she could still try her best to concentrate on practicing kicks just now, then, looking at the strange and familiar Grandmaster Yunyue in front of her, her heart seemed to be blocked, with thousands of thoughts, and she didn't know what to do. What to do. Maybe let the past go silent. She felt that Enxiu's consideration was reasonable. If Master Yunyue knew about it, would it break the current peace, would it affect Guanzhu Yu, Mrs. Yu and Enxiu's mother, and would everything become chaotic? stand up.Moreover, she heard Chuyuan say that he didn't want to see him. Then, she should also be silent.She has long understood that the truth does not only bring happiness, it often brings pain as well.What's more, both Chuyuan and Eunxiu thought that was the best, so how could she mess things up? Today, she specially put on the Dao suit that Chuyuan gave her.Isn't it true that as long as she sits cross-legged in front of Grandmaster Yunyue wearing this Taoist uniform, it can be equivalent to... But. Why is there still a burst of pain in her heart. That's her deceiving herself... "Can you calm down?" Grandmaster Yunyue sat cross-legged, he looked at Baicao with peaceful eyes, without any emotion. "...Yes." Baicao blushed. "Although you were a little distracted during the Shuangfei kick, which is a taboo in Taekwondo practice, your legwork and strength are still good." Grandmaster Yunyue said slowly, "In terms of strength, your natural body The quality is not the best, but it seems that you have put in a lot of effort and are very smart. In the attacking legwork, you have added a spin, because the height in the air is enough and the speed is fast, and the spin can help you increase a lot Strength. This is your advantage. Right now, your main problem is—" From above the cave. The sun poured down like a golden waterfall. "Are you listening?" Grandmaster Yunyue stopped explaining, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at her. "I..." Baicao stared blankly at the pair of eyes in front of her. Even though they had been stained with the wind and frost of the years, they were equally serene and gentle under any circumstances.There was pain and astringency in her heart, something was rolling and struggling. She knew that was impossible! But…… But…… "Grandmaster Yunyue," biting his lip, Baicao clenched his fingers and took another deep breath, "I want to ask you..." The winding mountain road. The morning sun was extremely bright, shining on the wild flowers blooming all over the mountain. After coming out of the transfer department of Changhai Daoguan, Chuyuan was walking back to the courtyard of the dormitory.In the distance was the lake. Looking up, he saw the simple and elegant courtyard on the top of the mountain. Baicao should be there. Thinking of this, Chuyuan smiled slightly. He squatted down and touched a small purple daisy on the side of the road with his fingers. The petals were reflected by the sun, just like her eyes that were always bright. He used to think that in the three years since she left, she had gotten farther and farther away from him, and there was already a boy she liked by her side.He thought he could look at her calmly, even if it would be someone else who would make her happy or sad. However, he overestimated himself. He wanted so much to be by her side, to see her deer-like eyes staring blankly at him, and to see her blushing so red that even her ears turned red. He liked her heroic appearance during the competition, and also liked her sudden He started to look dazed. I started liking it three years ago. Or did it become more and more like it later? He only knew that when he was with her, his heart would suddenly be a little nervous, and he would feel a surge of joy.当她羞涩地默认，刘海上那枚草莓发夹，是她喜欢的男生送的，他的心一点一点地往下沉。 她会喜欢这些雏菊吧。 将路边的紫色花朵小心翼翼地摘下来，初原的呼吸中满是沁脾的清香，他以为他已经错过了，而居然，还没有错过太多。 昨晚湖边的榕树下…… 后来他竟如小男生一般，一晚辗转没有入眠。 满满一捧的紫色雏菊，初原站起身，望着山顶那栋被云雾淡淡缭绕的庭院。 风一阵阵吹过。 他又驻足在那里，望了很久很久。 那应该是与他并没有什么关系的一个人。他的出生，他的成长，那人分毫都没有参与过。现在一切都很好，松柏道馆里，他的父亲和母亲生活得平静幸福，他对那人并没有太多的怨恨。 手中的雏菊被风吹的晃动。 初原默默看着它。 他也并不想打扰那人的生活。只是有时候，他会想，如果能远远地看那人一眼，知道那人长的是什么模样，也就足够了。 满是阳光的山洞中。 “云岳宗师，我想请求您，”百草鼓足勇气，下定了决心，“听我讲一个故事……” 云岳宗师表情平静地说：“今天，我要指导你跆拳道，而非听你讲故事。” “我、我愿意交换！”百草结结巴巴地说，紧张得脸涨红了，“您不用指导我一天的时间，只、只要您愿意听我讲完这个故事……对不起……” 云岳宗师凝视她。 山洞中如此安静，细小的灰粒在万千道阳光中飞旋。百草越来越紧张，她在想，云岳宗师会不会生气，是会生气的吧，她的请求是如此的荒唐，或许下一秒钟，云岳宗师就会将她赶出去…… 她不想莽撞。 可是，她无法忘记，自从踏入昌海道馆，初原的神情中那抹让人无法忽略的寂寞的气息。好几次她都见到，初原久久地坐在湖边的榕树下，久久地望着湖面出神…… “请讲。”云岳宗师平静地说。 胸口屏住的那口气缓缓松开，百草镇定一下，努力想着应该怎么说：“这是……我自己的故事……” “……我从小在全胜道馆长大，十四岁的时候，到了松柏道馆……”她忐忑地望了眼云岳宗师，从他面容看不出任何情绪变化，“……松柏道馆很美，里面种了很多树，其中也有一棵大榕树，比昌海道馆里的榕树还要茂密一些……” 云岳宗师眼神宁淡。 “……我很喜欢松柏道馆，道馆里的人都很好。我认识了晓萤，她很可爱，若白师兄，他虽然不爱说话，但是对人非常非常好，亦枫师兄，他很喜欢睡懒觉……”低下头，她不敢再看云岳宗师，“……还有，还有初原师兄……” “……初原师兄以前也习练跆拳道，他非常非常出色，虽然我并没有看过他比赛，可是所有看过的人都说，初原师兄很棒，比现在的廷皓前辈还要出色……”怔怔的，她的声音越来越低，“……后来，初原师兄没有再练了，他考入了医科大学，学业也是非常出色，所以被交换去美国学习了三年，往后，他会成为了不起的医生……” 山洞里，她的声音渐渐停下。 异常静寂。 只顿了一秒，她已如梦初醒地反应过来，急忙地说：“我说这些是因为……是因为……初原师兄就住在离那棵榕树不远的地方。他建了一座小木屋，四周还有溪水缓缓流淌……那里景色很美，我平时练功累了，或者心里有什么解不开的事情，就会站在小路上，远远望着那里……” “这次来到昌海道馆，发觉这里的景色也很美……”终于圆过了刚才那些话，她的手心微微出汗，“……初原师兄、若白师兄、亦枫师兄、晓萤也都觉得这里很美……明天我们就要回国了，我们在这里的日子很开心……” “……这就是我的故事，我……我讲完了……” 脑子里依旧懵懵的有些空白，双手扶地，她俯下身去，深深行了一个礼。 “谢谢您，云岳宗师。” 山洞中静无声息。 良久，百草保持着行礼的姿势，她一动不动，直到云岳宗师声音无波地说：“你出去吧。” 退出山洞，走过那条黑暗的阴凉潮湿的隧道，眼前的光亮让百草微微闭了下眼睛。凭着记忆穿过那条长长的回廊，向外走去，她心中乱乱的，脑中也乱乱的。她已记不得自己究竟都说了些什么，有没有把事情弄糟，又或者她只是胡言乱语了很多，云岳宗师根本不会听懂。 Yes. 云岳宗师是不会听懂的。 因为其实她自己也不知道该说什么，她只是说了乱糟糟的一堆话，怔怔地走着，她希望自己没有闯祸。师父说，她总是太冲动，要学会克制。这一次，她又冲动了，是吗？ “怎么这么快就出来了？” 肩膀被人用力地握住，她一楞，眼前的云雾散开，发现自己竟已走出院门之外，若白正焦急地看着她。 “……”她呆呆地看着他，不敢说话。 “你是要拿些东西，然后再回去吗？”若白皱眉问，“需要拿什么，我帮你送进去，你赶快回去多聆听云岳宗师的指导。” “……”嘴唇有些发干，她嗫嚅着说：“……已经结束了。” “什么？”若白没听清。 “……已经结束了，所以我出来了。”百草低下头，有些手足无措。 若白定定地凝视了她两秒钟，然后霍然回身，朝庭院里走。 “若白师兄，你做什么？”她急忙追上去。 “约好是一整天的时间，也许云岳宗师误解了，我去向他说明。”若白声音微沉，头也不回地说。 "no!" 从身后抓住他的手臂，她的脸涨红了，结结巴巴地说：“是……是我提出来的……” 若白的身体僵住。 他慢慢转过身，难以置信地看着她：“你说什么？” “……我……我对云岳宗师说……”她不安极了，“……我想给他讲个故事，他不用指导我一整天……” “什么故事？”若白皱眉。 摇摇头，百草面红耳赤地说：“我不能讲。” 若白紧紧盯住她：“你没有在开玩笑？” “没有。”她不安得有点无法呼吸。 夏日的风从两人之间吹过，若白沉默地看着她，高高的身影将她完全笼罩住。她越来越害怕，背脊的冷汗一点点沁出来，这种恐惧甚至超过了刚才面对云岳宗师。 若白眼神严厉地问：“你知道你在做什么吗？” "……yes." “那个故事，要比云岳宗师的指导更加重要？！” “……我……我不知道，”她咬了咬嘴唇，慌乱地摇摇头，“……我觉得，可能我做了一件傻事……但是……但是……” 若白闭了闭眼睛。 他的嘴唇微微有些苍白。 "understood." 转过身，若白沉默着，没有再对她说什么，他走出院门，走上回去的山路。 漫山的野花。 两人一前一后地走着。 默默地跟在若白身后，望着他的背影，百草心中惶恐。 窗前，初原将紫色的小雏菊插进玻璃瓶，阳光中，花朵灿烂地开着。院门一响，他看到若白和百草回来了。 若白径直走回房间。 百草呆呆地站在庭院中央，一副茫然失措的模样。 “你闯祸了？”小雏菊摆放在窗台上，初原温和地问，见她嗯了一声，呆呆地垂下头，他笑了笑，说：“需要我去帮你求情吗？” "..." 百草难过地摇摇头。没用的，若白师兄一定是很生气很生气，或许，再也不会理她了。 "Boom, boom." 叹息一声，初原从房间走出来。他拉起她，不理会她惊恐的挣扎，敲响若白的房门。 “如果你不理她，她会在这里站一整天的。”初原无奈地笑着，将她推向站在门口的若白，说，“不如你好好骂骂她，或者干脆揍她一顿，无论怎样，让师兄生气都是不对的。” Ruobai is silent. 他看了看百草，她一句话不敢说，低着头，身体微微发颤，就像做了错事后不知所措的孩子。 “我没有生气。”若白淡淡说。 百草惊愕地抬头。 “你不是不知道轻重的人，既然这样做，就有你的道理，”若白凝视她，“上次是因为你的师父，这次又是因为什么，我不想知道。” 顿了顿，若白淡漠地继续说：“对你而言，总是有一些事情，比跆拳道更为重要。我非常痛心你失去被云岳宗师指导的机会，但是，你有这样选择的权利。” “若白师兄……”听完这些，百草却更加慌乱。 “我没有生气。”打断她，若白淡淡地又重复了一遍，看了看她依旧显得不安的面容，又看了看站在她身边的初原，他垂下目光，说：“你们出去玩吧。” "...?" 百草觉得自己听错了。 “明天就要回国，既然空出了时间，你和初原出去玩吧。”若白反手准备关门。 “我们一起去。”初原急忙按住房门。 “不了，我还有事。”将房门关上之前，若白最后看一眼百草，皱眉说，“别玩太疯，明天回国以后要开始恢复训练。” “可以放心了吗？” 见百草还在望着若白的房门发呆，初原揉揉她的头发，将那束插在玻璃瓶中的雏菊花递到她的手中，温声说：“这是送你的。” 灿烂盛开的紫色小雏菊，像是闪耀着阳光的笑容，百草呆住，反应不过来地说：“送我的？” 初原笑着说：“难道只许廷皓送花，就不许我送？” "..." 百草更加呆住。 “好了，”阳光中，初原低咳一声，“想去哪里玩？” “可是，”她还是不安，目光看向紧闭的房门，“若白师兄真的不生气了吗？我……我想我还是应该留在这里，万一若白师兄……” “走吧，那就让我决定好了。” 失笑地摇摇头，初原牵起她的手，拉着仍旧挣扎的她向院门走去。
