Heartwarming love: Blossoms by the Roadside
“Under the Purple Cloud Peak, flowers dance in the shadows; the ethereal young master at Huanxi Pavilion.”
Ten years ago, an unintentional visit; ten years ago, an unexpected encounter; ten years ago, a fleeting glimpse that intertwined their fates for a lifetime…
How deep was Hua Yiren’s love for Luo Ziying? Perhaps Luo Ziying knew, or perhaps he didn’t! But when Luo Ziying returned to the Valley of Flowers once more, he saw Duan Xueyi standing beside Hua Yiren. Duan Xueyi, the sole heir of the Duan family of Dali, chose to live in peace for the sake of a woman! Luo Ziying knew this love was unparalleled!
As usual, Hua Yiren had prepared the Hundred Flower Brew for Luo Ziying! This time, the ethereal young master, known for his tolerance to alcohol, got drunk… terribly drunk!
When he woke up, Luo Ziying saw the plaque in front of the pavilion, “Under the Purple Cloud Peak, flowers dance in the shadows; the ethereal young master at Huanxi Pavilion!” A bitter smile appeared on his face as he murmured: “I didn’t expect Yitong Tian’s words to be so fitting today, it turns out they were already in my home!” Luo Ziying was not foolish; he knew it was Duan Xueyi who brought him back!
After all, not everyone could enter the Huanxi Pavilion; perhaps he was truly very drunk, as he had no memory of the evening except for one sentence from Duan Xueyi, etched in his heart like a knife. Duan Xueyi raised his wine cup with a complex expression and said: “She loves you so much, and I love her just as much! So, I am the one who can take care of her the best!” Luo Ziying remembered this sentence clearly, with an inescapable helplessness…
He used to think that the Valley of Flowers and Hua Yiren were like his Huanxi Pavilion: no need to lock the door when leaving, no need to knock when returning! But how could he understand Hua Yiren’s feelings? Besides daily worries and fears, there was endless longing and waiting!
Although Hua Yiren appeared indifferent, she was still a woman with the same feelings as any other woman, which Luo Ziying never understood!
Therefore, Hua Yiren chose Duan Xueyi. Rather than waiting for an uncertain return, she chose to have someone who could wholeheartedly be by her side! Moreover, Hua Yiren had once saved Duan Xueyi’s life, so perhaps this love could truly blossom and bear fruit!
Luo Ziying always thought of the first time he met Hua Yiren! Surrounded by the blooming flowers and dancing butterflies in the Valley of Flowers, facing the fairy-like and pristine Hua Yiren, he felt like a fisherman who had stumbled into a peach blossom land. At that moment, except for Du Shaoling’s “A rare beauty resides in the secluded valley,” he was at a loss for words!
But now, what could he do, what should he do…
This is a heartbreaking story, so much so that even now, I cannot bear to personally write its ending…
