Shi Ye: “…”

Wen Chi stared at him unhappily and repeated phrase for phrase: “This isn’t a hen, this can be a phoenix(鳳凰 – Fenghuang → Right here 鳳(feng) is the male and 凰(huang) is for the feminine phoenix. Normally each the characters are written collectively to depict the general phrase phoenix. The fenghuang fowl is from Chinese language mythology and symbolizes each female and male qualities. The legendary phoenix fowl represents hope, rebirth, resurrection, and beauty.).”

This time Shi Ye remained silent for a very long time and eventually squeezed out a number of phrases from his mouth: “How does this appear like a phoenix1鳳凰 – Fenghuang?”

Wen Chi mentioned righteously: “However what I painted is the male phoenix in search of the feminine phoenix2凤求凰 The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix (Sima Xiangru’s poem) “Feng Qiu Huang” is claimed to be a guqin music from the Han Dynasty, which interprets the love story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. The “phoenix in search of huang” as a basic metaphor not solely comprises the passionate courtship, but additionally symbolizes the hero and heroine’s extraordinary beliefs, noble aspirations, and tacit understanding of shut pals and different wealthy connotations. .”

Shi Ye stared straight on the factor on the portray that seemed very very similar to a hen and it took him a very long time earlier than he might get himself to ask: “Is that this a male phoenix3鳳(feng) as in male or a  feminine phoenix4凰(huang) as in feminine ?”

“I’m undecided both…” Wen Chi touched his chin and after a lot deliberation, he picked up the comb and drew one other hen subsequent to it. Then he put down the comb, tilted his head and admired his masterpiece for some time. He puffed out his chest and mentioned with a way of accomplishment, “Now there’s a male phoenix and a feminine phoenix.”

Shi Ye: “…”

Wen Chi didn’t know if it was his phantasm however he really noticed a helpless expression on Shi Ye’s face.

Shi Ye knew that discussing this matter with Wen Chi was undoubtedly a waste of time, so he properly skipped the subject and requested as an alternative: “Didn’t you lose your reminiscence? Why do you continue to understand how to attract a phoenix?”

Talking of this, Wen Chi additionally felt that it was unusual.

He actually couldn’t keep in mind the whole lot, however some issues appeared to be deeply imprinted in his mind5T/N -You imply the trauma?? LOL. Even when he didn’t must recall them intentionally, he might instinctively describe these issues.

For instance, he was acquainted with Shi Ye for no motive.

One other instance is that he by some means painted this Male Phoenix In search of Feminine Phoenix.

“I’m undecided both…” Wen Chi scratched his head in confusion. He considered it severely for a very long time however sadly his thoughts was clean. He lowered his eyes,  considerably disenchanted, “Plainly a buddy of mine taught me this. Sadly, I’ve forgotten who he’s now. Seeing that I may even keep in mind what he taught me after my dying, I will need to have had an excellent relationship with him after I was alive.”

Shi Ye listened to Wen Chi’s phrases as if he was speaking to himself and the feelings on his face slowly light away.

Lastly, he checked out Wen Chi expressionlessly.

Wen Chi, who was immersed in disappointment, was unaware of Shi Ye’s chilly gaze. His eyes and nostril have been sore and purple. It was apparent that he had no reminiscence of his life however when his eyes fell on the portray, he nonetheless felt that it was so tough to even breathe.

Instantly afterwards, his tears fell with out warning, falling on the desk with a clatter and bloomed right into a small water flower.

The water flowers bloomed one after one other.

Wen Chi stared blankly on the water splashing on the desk. He appeared startled by this sudden scenario and shortly raised his hand to wipe his face.

“Sorry…” Wen Chi tried to cover his embarrassment with a smile however he couldn’t get himself to smile.

When he met Shi Ye’s eyes, he might solely numbly, sadly, and helplessly let the tears pour out of his eyes one drop after one other.

Shi Ye requested, “Why are you crying?”

Wen Chi’s determine swayed after which he leaned on the desk. He felt bitter and astringent in his coronary heart. The bitterness clogged up his throat, making his voice hoarse: “I’m so unhappy, it looks as if I’ve misplaced a vital individual.”

“What you suppose is essential is definitely not that essential.” Shi Ye’s tone was chilly to the purpose of being unsympathetic, “If that individual is actually so essential to you, how might you neglect him?”

“I…” Wen Chi opened his mouth, however couldn’t refute, “Yeah, I forgot about him…”

However he had even forgotten who he was.

He forgot his life expertise, his hometown, his family members and pals, the whole lot…

Who’s he?

He knew Shi Ye’s title, knew the names of the brother and sister, Hua Yin and Hua Yanran and even knew the names of the 2 maids, however he didn’t know his personal title…

Wen Chi slowly squatted down, curled up and hugged his legs. He was clearly an ignorant and mindless wandering soul however at this second he felt a way of suffocation overwhelming him.

***

Ultimately, Wen Chi didn’t know when Shi Ye left. He vaguely observed that Shi Ye was leaving with anger. He didn’t know why Shi Ye was indignant however he was not within the temper to consider it.

Wen Chi squatted beside the desk for a number of days.

Throughout lately, Shi Ye walked out and in of the room however he acted as if Wen Chi didn’t exist. He didn’t even look at him from the nook of his eye and even gave up training calligraphy and portray on the desk to keep away from him.

This time Wen Chi’s feelings got here extra violently than some other time earlier than. For the primary time, he had a sense of hopelessness and he felt that he couldn’t recover from this hurdle. He didn’t need to speak to Shi Ye, he and Shi Ye lived below one roof nevertheless it was as in the event that they have been two strangers who had by no means crossed paths earlier than.

Till this afternoon.

Wen Chi was nonetheless squatting by the desk in a daze when he all of the sudden heard the door being pushed open with a creak, adopted by a collection of hurried footsteps.

Wen Chi knew that Shi Ye was again, however he didn’t anticipate that Shi Ye to stroll immediately in entrance of him.

Shi Ye stood nonetheless in entrance of him.

Wen Chi’s clean gaze fell on Shi Ye’s footwear and after some time he seemed up alongside Shi Ye’s legs.

Solely to see Shi Ye wanting down at him with an expressionless face.

Shi Ye was so younger and had some stunted options. He needed to elevate his head each time to have a look at Wen Chi. At this second, he seemed down at Wen Chi from a excessive place, which really gave Wen Chi the phantasm that the opposite individual was unusually tall.

In a daze, Shi Ye’s younger and truthful face overlapped with the good-looking and flawless face of a person.

Wen Chi blinked in confusion and when he seemed once more, the person’s face had disappeared, leaving solely Shi Ye’s face.

Shi Ye mentioned: “Nonetheless fascinated by that man?”

Wen Chi frowned. He felt that the phrase “that man” was a bit harsh, however he didn’t say something. He lowered his eyes and continued to carry his legs in a daze.

He thought Shi Ye would stroll away quickly however he didn’t anticipate Shi Ye to face immobile in entrance of him for so long as a stick of incense(61hr), making him really feel aggravated.

“What are you doing?” Wen Chi raised his head, imitating Shi Ye’s impatient expression and gaze. He mentioned coldly and arrogantly, “I’m not in need of stone piers right here, if you wish to be a stone pier go exterior.”

Shi Ye ignored his phrases and continued to speak to himself: “You might be already lifeless and being nostalgic for individuals or issues once you have been alive will solely convey again extra recollections and due to this fact extra ache. Dropping your reminiscence might not be a nasty factor for you… “
