“Where are you going?” Bai Zhi asked.

Meng Nan shook his head: “I don’t know, I haven’t figured it out yet. The world is big, there will always be a place for me, Meng Nan. Bai Zhi, if I say goodbye today, maybe it will be forever.”

She nodded, then shook her head: “Maybe, but I think we will meet again.” After finishing speaking, she smiled sweetly and said: “Past is past. Stop reminiscing and start over.”

He smiled bitterly, and nodded slowly: “Mmm, I’ll start again!”

She pointed to the carriage behind her: “This is my gift to you. You can go wherever you want. When you get there, you can also write to me, just like back then.”

Just like back then.

If time can be turned back, he will not leave Qingyuan Town, definitely not.

He didn’t refuse, just like she didn’t refuse when he gave her the carriage.

They didn’t need that kind of useless politeness before.

“Thank you!”

The two of them were relatively speechless. They seemed to have a thousand words to say, but they didn’t know where to start.

Since they don’t know where to start, stop talking.

Meng Nan sighed, said “goodbye”, and resolutely turned around and got into the carriage.

Jin Shiwei followed behind him, but Bai Zhi said in a low voice to him: “Take good care of him. If you need my help, you can come to me, anytime.”

Jin Shiwei’s eyes were slightly astringent, and he nodded heavily.

Time was passing by like usual, but they seem to be living in a different direction.

That year, when he and the young master left Qingyuan Town, his young master also said these words to her.

But now, she was the one who said this to his young master.

He knew that his young master and she would never be possible.

The separation this time may be a farewell.

Jin Shiwei nodded heavily and climbed into the car without saying a word.

The sound of galloping horses sounded, and the wheels brought up dust, blurring Bai Zhi’s vision.

“Look, young master.” Jin Shiwei found some things in the dark compartment under the seat, a bag of silver, a few banknotes worth a thousand taels, and a big bag of food, which they like to eat, so they don’t need to taste it. As soon as they smell the fragrance, they could tell Bai Zhi made it.

Looking at these things, Meng Nan pretended to be strong but was torn apart in an instant, with tears streaming down her bloodshot eyes.

He cried like a child. The sadness and regret in his heart made him unable to pretend that nothing had happened.

All those who did bad things were punished, but he was not, only he survived.

Was it Chu Yan’s mercy? Or his cruelty?

Meng Nan cried, and Jin Shiwei cried along with him.

The coachman driving the carriage outside felt puzzled. In fear that something might happen, he stopped the carriage and asked: “My lords, what happened?”

Jin Shiwei wiped away his tears, and said in a choked voice: “It’s nothing, just drive your car and leave us alone.”

The coachman snorted and asked again: “Then where are we going?”

Jin Shiwei looked at Meng Nan.

Meng Nan stopped in tears, took a deep breath, and said, “Go to the northwest, Qingyuan Town, Huangtuo Village.”

He wanted to find himself. He could face the sun, so he had no choice but to return to the original place.

Jin Shiwei’s eyes brightened, and he said with a smile: “This is a good idea. Bai Zhi still has a house there, and that house is nice. We will go to Huangtuo Village, so we will live there?”

Meng Nan nodded: “Mmm, we will live there.” Just live in the place where she used to be.

Maybe one day in the future, she will return there, and by that time, he hoped that he would already be a brand new Meng Nan, who can stand in the bright sunshine to welcome her.
