Chapter 2940 Shadow
When he said this, Tie Hongyan’s gaze shifted away from his eyes and looked at the sky in the distance.

Wu Xunsheng continued, “Don’t you and I always have similar thoughts at similar times? It’s like we are connected in mind. If we maintain this magical tacit understanding until we are over 70 years old, will it be possible for such a situation to occur? It’s very interesting to think about it. Decades ago, I was your sparring partner, and we played with kites in the wild. Decades have passed, and the two children back then have become people in their 70s. At that time, I was still your sparring partner, and we were still playing with kites in the wild…”

He was speaking very excitedly, as if he had really seen her, who was over seventy years old, practicing martial arts and playing with kites in the sun with him. However, at this point, he suddenly felt that he could not continue and regretted it a little, because he thought that he was not even sure whether he could survive those “eleven months”, so he felt that he was lying to her by saying those words. Although he knew that what he said was just his imagination, he knew that she must also understand that he was just imagining, but he thought that if he was not sure whether he could do it, he should not tell her about that imaginary scene. He could usually see her feelings for him from the way she looked at him. Thinking of this, he realized that he had painted an illusory picture for her by saying such words. If that illusory picture did not become a real picture after many years, it might become a shadow in her heart after many years. Of course, he did not want her heart to be left with any shadow because of him.

At this moment, he thought: What was I saying just now… Why was I so impulsive? Why did I impulsively say something I shouldn’t have said after I realized how impulsive I was? It’s really an attempt to cover up something that only makes it more obvious!

He knew that Tie Hongyan’s gaze had already moved away from his eyes, but he didn’t know if she would look back at him soon, so he also moved his gaze away from her eyes and looked at the distant sky.

Tie Hongyan had turned her gaze away from his eyes before because when she heard what he said, she thought that if there was no miracle, he would only live for another year from the day of the alliance ceremony, and he could die at any time during this year. When she heard it, she felt that if she didn’t try hard to control herself, she would soon cry. She turned her gaze away from his eyes and looked at the distant sky, which was a manifestation of her control over herself.

When he looked away from Tie Hongyan and looked at the sky in the distance like her, thinking about what he said before, he even had the urge to cry, but he controlled it and said with a smile: “I was just talking nonsense just now, who knew how to go so far, the important thing is, I want to ask you if you still want me to be your sparring partner.”

Tie Hongyan, who was always good at controlling his expression, had controlled himself very well at this moment, ensuring that he would not suddenly burst into tears even if he looked at him. He looked at him and nodded to him.

In order to prevent her from noticing that he was about to cry, Wu Xunsheng kept smiling and looked around when he realized that Tie Hongyan had just looked at him again. After noticing that she had nodded out of the corner of his eye, he smiled and said, “That’s what you said, so don’t worry about whether I’ll be tired or not.”
