Moon frost snow

With this whisper, He Yue's heartstrings trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, and the scene before her made her hold her breath.

I saw that I was surrounded by countless colorful lanterns of various shapes. Some of these lanterns looked like blooming flowers, gorgeous and tempting; some looked like flying birds, lively and agile; and some looked like dragons and phoenixes, lifelike.

They are either hanging high on the branches or hanging low under the eaves, making this world look like a dream.

And under your feet, there are all kinds of flowers, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, and yellow like gold, blooming in clusters and vying with each other for beauty.

The breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, making people intoxicated, as if they are in a beautiful fairyland.

When He Yue witnessed such a picturesque and beautiful scenery with her own eyes, it was as if a stone was thrown into the lake of her heart, causing ripples of emotion.

At that moment, joy bloomed in her heart like the most beautiful flower in spring.

So, she walked briskly, full of joy, through this charming scene.

She first walked to the exquisite lanterns and carefully looked at the lifelike patterns on them, as if she could walk into a wonderful world of stories through these patterns.

Then she leaned over and sniffed the blooming flowers, feeling the fragrance they exuded. The sweet aroma intoxicated her and made her linger.

At this moment, He Yue forgot all her worries and fatigue and was completely immersed in this beautiful atmosphere.

Gu Wenzhi stared quietly at the graceful He Yue not far away. He walked slowly towards her with firm yet slightly nervous steps.

Each step seemed to carry a heavy weight, because he knew that this moment meant a lot to both of them.

Finally, he came in front of He Yue, and saw him carefully take out an exquisite wooden box from his arms. The surface of the box was carved with delicate and beautiful patterns, exuding a simple and mysterious atmosphere.

Gu Wenzhi gently opened the wooden box, and in an instant, a soft light poured out from the box.

Looking closely, I found a bracelet inside that was pure white and as smooth as jade.

The bracelet was of pure texture, as crystal clear as mutton-fat white jade, without a single flaw.

Gu Wenzhi held the wooden box in both hands and handed it to He Yue.

His eyes were filled with affection and expectation, and he said with a slightly trembling voice, "Ayue, this jade bracelet is the only thing my mother left behind before she died. She specifically asked that it be given to my beloved."

Now, I bring it to you, hoping you can accept my kindness. Ah Yue, will you... marry me?"

He Yue widened her eyes and looked at Gu Wenzhi in astonishment. Her body involuntarily took a few steps back, as if the person standing in front of her was not a human, but a ferocious beast.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something but no sound came out.

His hands were clenched tightly together, his nails dug deep into his palms, revealing his extreme inner tension and anxiety.

As for the extremely valuable item that Gu Wenzhi handed over, she didn't even dare to look at it, let alone reach out to take it.

Gu Wenzhi stared quietly at He Yue's gradually fading smile, and his heart couldn't help but ache.

He involuntarily took a small step forward and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Ayue, there are some words that have been hidden in my heart. Let me say them all today."

"Do you still remember the first time we met? I was in dire straits back then, and you appeared before me like an angel descending from heaven, extending a helping hand without hesitation to save me from danger."

"From that moment on, your image was deeply imprinted in my heart and could never be erased. I found myself hopelessly in love with you."

At this point, Gu Wenzhi's eyes became more determined, as if he had made up his mind. He continued solemnly, "I swear here that in this lifetime, I will never marry another woman except you."

"Even if you don't have any special feelings for me at the moment, or even reject my affection, it's fine."

"Because I have enough patience to wait until the day comes when you are willing to accept me."

"Although this bracelet is not a rare treasure, it represents my true heart."

"I hope you can accept it for now. Once you have thought it through and figured it out, give me an answer, okay?"

He Yue stood there blankly, her eyes empty and lifeless. Her brain seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, and she was completely unable to recall every detail of her acquaintance with Gu Wenzhi.

That memory was like a kite with a broken string, drifting away into the distance. No matter how hard she tried to pursue it, it was all in vain.

Similarly, the scene of rescuing Gu Wenzhi was also blank, as if it had never happened.

At this moment, He Yue's heart was like a tangled mess, and her thoughts were in a mess.

The splitting headache kept coming, wave after wave hitting her fragile nerves.

She couldn't help but rub her temples gently with her hands, but this did not relieve the pain at all.

Looking at Gu Wenzhi who was looking expectant, He Yue felt a deep sense of guilt welling up in her heart.

Her lips trembled slightly, and her voice was choked with sobs: "I'm sorry, I... I don't know why this happened. My brain seems to be broken, and I can't remember anything. I'm really confused right now, a mess. I need time to think about it. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

As she spoke, she slowly backed away, her steps staggering and unsteady, as if she would fall to the ground at any moment.

Gu Wenzhi anxiously wanted to go forward to help He Yue, but He Yue dodged Gu Wenzhi's hand and ran downstairs as if escaping.

Gu Wenzhi stood there blankly, looking at He Yue's departing back, his heart filled with loss and confusion.

He didn't understand why He Yue was so resistant to his care. Her evasive eyes and hurriedly fleeing figure seemed to have erected an invisible wall between them.

He slowly withdrew his hand, which remained in mid-air, as if frozen in time.

The air around him seemed to become heavier, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Gu Wenzhi's eyes became dim and he lowered his head silently, his mind full of thoughts.

Thinking back on the little moments I had with He Yue, those times when we laughed and had fun together, now seems like a distant dream.

During those days they talked about everything and understood each other very well, but since when, everything changed.

Gu Wenzhi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He decided to find He Yue to explain things clearly. He didn't want to lose her in such an unclear way.
