The Emperor of Hell's Green Plum Pillow She Escaped Again

Somewhere in the suburbs.

Bai Shuiru sat in the shade of the trees by the river, letting the fishing rod bend to the limit due to the hook without doing anything. She just listened blankly to the voice call with her best friend Hao Mianmian on her phone:

"Ruru! Did I disturb you and Heihuomian? Hehe, it took you so long to answer my call." Hao Mianmian's teasing and excited voice became the only vibrant and passionate presence in the quiet suburbs.

"No." Bai Shuiru responded slowly. I am alone. Maybe I will always be alone.

"Ruru! Are you okay?! I saw online that someone wants to murder you again!"

"fine."

"Ruru, I thought you were unlucky in the past six months. You were plotted against time and again. But to be honest, your fortune is inversely proportional! This must add up to two or three hundred billion, right? Tsk tsk tsk! You are very rich now, you haven't forgotten me, right... Ruru? Why don't you say anything?"

If the white water is light, it should be:

"You scared my fish away."

"You are a damned woman who values ​​fish over friends!" Hao Mianmian scolded with a smile, and then continued:

"Ruru, I have good news for you! I won a silver medal in the state competition and a gold medal in the city competition during my study abroad this time!"

"Congratulations." Bai Shuiru responded calmly and mechanically.

"I'm booking a flight ticket. I plan to return home in three days after completing my studies! I've already made plans. When I return, I'll rent a house and open a shop! Ru Ru, let's rent together! We can be free to pursue our careers!"

Mianmian has always been running towards and doing whatever she wants to do.

What about me?

Bai Shuiru hugged her legs and looked at the sparkling water not far away. She recalled the conversation she had with Hei Zhanze yesterday when she was planning to go out:

“Life is like fishing. Even if you notice the rise and fall of the float and reel in the rod in time, it does not guarantee that you will successfully catch fish. This uncertainty also brings all kinds of surprises and expectations to life.”

Hei Zhan Ze quickly reeled in his rod and compared the plush bear to the hook to Bai Shui Ru, "It seems that I found the prize for Wan Wan's first place in home economics last year."

Hei Zhan Ze wrapped the little bear in a dry towel and put it in the box. "I have also witnessed the death of my loved ones, some even killed each other. Their lives that have been cut short are also part of my life, aren't they?"

Bai Shuiru couldn't help but recall the small-font note at the end of Zhong Suiru's verdict that he had seen before she died:

"Like the handwriting of a pen, it seems to be independent of the pen, but in fact, every stroke is involuntarily made, reflecting only the thoughts of the pen holder. It is also like a certain period of time in a person's long life, which seems to be independent, but in fact, it still belongs to that person."

Even a lively person like Zhong Suiru, who laughs, scolds, loves and hates passionately, has been defined by a pre-arranged verdict. So what is the point of her trying so hard to live in this world according to her own will?

What am I doing this for?

Even the passing wind seemed to stop by Bai Shuiru's side with a sigh.

Bai Shuiru rested her chin on her knees and closed her eyes wearily.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but she felt a sore back from sitting for too long. She slowly stood up, pressed her lower back, turned around, and stretched her stiff and numb body. Then she noticed that not far behind her, the man was walking towards her.

"Huomian?!"

The surprise and sigh on Bai Shuiru's face changed and spread, and along with the low sigh, it was lost in the wind.

"Why can you find my location accurately every time?"

"Not every time." Hei Huomian shook his head, his lips twitching slightly with a strong sense of self-mockery:

"I almost lost you again this time."

Bai Shui Ruwen's heart was beating fast, and she lowered her head to hide her slightly red face. "You, when did you come?"

"When you raised your hand to take the albizzia flower."

Well, that was at least two hours ago!

Doesn’t that mean he even heard the conversation between me and Mianmian?

Bai Shuiru lowered her eyes apologetically, then raised them to look at the man, "Then why didn't you call me?"

Hei Huomian suppressed the urge to rush forward and hug the little girl tightly, and took careful steps to slowly approach her. "I know you're in a bad mood, and I don't want to disturb you. I'll just stay with you from a distance and keep you in my sight... and that'll be enough."

"Sorry for making you worry."

"It's me who can't make you feel at ease." The man stared at her, his expression focused and almost overturned by self-blame.

Bai Shuiru shook her head and looked back at the broad river in front of her. "I still don't know why you were able to find me. But I came here because this place gives me a very safe and warm feeling."

This is the area where Hei Huomian's family took Bai Shuiru to camp before.

"Ordinary people would be confused when they get a lot of assets all at once, and they wouldn't know how to deal with them." Hei Huomian finally moved to Bai Shuiru's side, sat down, poured a cup of hot chocolate from the thermos, and handed it to her. "I guess you are confused because of other things."

Bai Shuiru held the hot chocolate in both hands, feeling the warmth brought by the sincere attention in her palms, but she was far less enthusiastic than the man next to her, who seemed to be gazing into the distance leisurely, chatting idly while sipping the same hot chocolate.

Bai Shuiru laughed at himself while breathing out, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, calmed down steadily.

"A will, if you have it, it means that the person who was closely related to you is no longer in this world. Even if it is worth a lot, what is there to be happy about?"

Hei Huomian nodded and continued:

“Look at it from another perspective. The reason why those legacies are precious is that those deceased people once fought for them and worked hard to create them. When you accept the legacies they leave you, it means that they will continue to accompany you in this world in another form, and will also leave you with expectations.”

Bai Shui felt as if he had suddenly been enlightened, and the sadness between his brows and eyes immediately dissipated by three or four points.

Hei Huomian placed the mug on the green grass, turned his head and looked down at the thick ochre liquid in the mug, "I guess, there is more."

"Everyone who was related to my past is gone. Without a past, it's like having no roots. This world has nothing to do with me anymore..." I don't know who I am anymore. Bai Shuiru seemed to have mustered up the courage, turned his head and looked at Hei Huomian, and said solemnly:

"And now that no one is threatening my life anymore, I want to resign from you, my boss. After I help you explain the situation to Mr. and Mrs. Black, I will end the contract and leave. I want to find myself, the origin that I have been unable to find all this time."

Hei Huomian clenched his fists as if he had a premonition when the little girl spoke again. After hearing her clearly state her plan, he restrained himself even more.

When Bai Shuiru heard this, her almond-shaped eyes were already gleaming with brilliance as she felt she was about to understand something.

“What people call tall, short, fat, thin, rich, poor, old, and young are all relative.”

Hei Huomian held the watch in front of her eyes and tapped the dial with his fingertips. "Although the second that just passed has just passed, it does not prevent it from becoming the past."

Bai Shuiru's expression gradually softened, but she suddenly stood up using her hands and feet, putting some distance between herself and Hei Huomian.

Even though the man in front of me was relaxed and lazy, and didn't even look at me, I inexplicably felt that my every move was predicted and controlled by him; he was like a giant inky iridescent python coiled beside me, quietly and silently controlling me with his domineering aura, even wherever his eyes reached.

"Bai Shuiru, perhaps I understand you better than you think?" Hei Huomian still looked around the world calmly, but did not look at her.

"How……".

"You are not me, how do you know that I don't really know you?" Hei Huomian quickly caught the vigilance in the little girl's eyes and hurriedly explained:

"It's not the kind of perverted desire for snooping and control that rich people have as you think... I, I don't deny that I did investigate your past as my special assistant." Hei Huomian lowered his head in distress and disappointment, "But, you've been with me for so long, didn't you feel anything at all?"

Baishui was stunned, as if he was lost in thought.

In the gentle breeze, Hei Huo Mian's words were heard again, as silent and moist as moonlight:

"Isn't the difference between us and animals that we think and seek the meaning of things? To find ourselves, we don't have to accomplish a grand deed or become a celebrity, but to find our place in the world and what we want to do."

Bai Shuiru was dejected, "Since I have no connection with the world, what position can I talk about?"

"You are Wanwan's good friend, my mother's best friend, my father's fishing friend, and my assistant. How can there be no connection? Even our names match." Hei Huomian looked at her and promised sincerely:

"As long as you are willing, believe me, my parents, Wanwan, and Youtiao, we are all honored to be witnesses of your existence, growth, and progress towards the distant place you pursue; you don't need to look for it anymore."

Hei Huomian solemnly took Bai Shuiru's hands, with a smile on his lips full of pleading:

"Although this is not a good time, I really want you to know how much you are needed, Xiaoru,..."

Bai Shuiru's almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, and she opened her lips and asked first: "I, can I..."

"I should be the one saying these words." Hei Huomian interrupted her with a reproachful look, but he was still a step too late.

The little girl continued with reluctance:

"Can I acknowledge you as my brother? Then I will have a reason to continue to live a life of luxury in Sucong Manor."

"...".

"I find you're becoming more and more straight!"

Hei Huomian cursed softly, put one hand on his forehead, sighed again, and then looked at Bai Shuiru seriously. He put his arm around Huan's waist, and a ball of blue-black flame ignited in the palm of his raised left hand.

"Is it so urgent? We need to use teleportation."

"The first two times I did it to save you. This time, I'm worried that you'll run away again, so I'm going to tie you up right away and keep you!"

When the blue-black flames burning around the two people disappeared, they appeared in the banquet hall of Sucong Manor.

White double-petaled lisianthus dotted with pink, purple and fiery red roses surrounds two Q-version dolls made of ice cream, tied with red strings; one wears sunglasses and the other wears a sheep hat.

Hei Huomian knelt on one knee in front of Bai Shuiru and took out a ring from his pocket. The snake-shaped ring was forged from platinum and inlaid with a piece of mutton-fat white jade.

"Bai Shuiru, no matter who you are or where you come from, the person I've been looking for is you. Only when I find you can my soul be complete. I really like you. I don't want you to act with me, nor do I want to deal with anyone else. I just want us to be together."

He stretched out his left hand, palm toward her, and took her right hand.

There is a cinnabar mole on the palm of Bai Shuiru's right hand, and Hei Huomian also has one in the same position on his left hand.

It is said that if a man and a woman agree to meet again in the next life, they will shed tears in each other's palms when they part, and the tear marks are a sign of their acquaintance and recognition.

Hei Huomian placed his palms, which were of different sizes and skin colors, together, and the two cinnabar moles overlapped and leaned against each other, as if they were two sides of one body.

"So Bai Shuiru, be my wife and stay by my side forever, okay?"

Bai Shuiru felt her cheeks burning. When she tried to say something, she caught a glimpse of the Hei family's three members and Youtiao behind Hei Huomian, all looking at her expectantly and encouragingly.

"Woof, woof woof woof!"

"Sister Ruru, Wanwan loves you so much, can you stay and accompany Wanwan?" Heihuowan shouted happily and led the dog Youtiao towards Baishuiru.

Hei Huomian reached out and held his younger brother's arm in time, letting him circle around his little girl and then return to his mother's arms.

Bai Shuiru and the three members of the Hei family all stared at Hei Huomian, but he simply placed his hands on the former's shoulders and announced: "This is my girlfriend, my fiancée, no one else is allowed to get close."

The little girl's face became redder and she tried to pry the man's big hands away and hide away from Jing Youxi.

Unexpectedly, Jing Youxi leaned into the arms of her husband Hei Zhan Ze, and the two danced together tacitly, away from the little girl who came for help.

As Bai Shuiru was stamping her feet in shame, Hei Huomian knelt down on one knee in front of her again and repeated patiently and pleadingly:

"Bai Shuiru, be my wife and let me be the only one qualified to stay by your side forever, okay?"

As I closed my eyes in silence and thought, the fragrance of the flowers calmed my previous throbbing and gradually made my heart peaceful.

The delicate and petite figure knelt in front of the curled up figure, bent down and gently kissed the other's slender neck which was half hidden in the long hair.

"Hei Huo Mian, no matter who you are, you are you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life." Her words were as firm and trustworthy as a vow, and she then kissed the back of his neck.
