Xingtie: After my death, Liuying will understand love.

Chapter 675 If There Is No Light Tomorrow

There is only one day left until the ceremony.

For Tethys, it was just another March 6th.

Just like every March 6th before, it should be like every day before.

But today is the last day before the ceremony, and it is the last hope left in the hearts of countless people.

As long as she waits for tomorrow's dawn, when the saint once again steps onto the transparent steps of the sky, she will be able to summon the golden moon again, dispel the tide of bad omens for Tethys, and bring another five years full of hope.

The world outside the city of Tethys had already been completely swallowed up by the evil omen. Looking around, the silver tide swallowed up everything within sight, leaving only meaningless emptiness.

What people pray for is always just a lie.

And the Holy City will continue to maintain this lie until the final dawn.

If people want to believe, then let them believe.

Believing is also a kind of hope.

No one knows, perhaps Tethys will not have another five years, and this will be the last day before the end.

Or maybe people already knew it, but still didn't want to believe that this day would really come to them, so they stared at the stairs to the sky and deceived themselves.

The priests of the holy city are still describing the future of tomorrow to people, saying that the silver moon will retreat and dawn will come on the day when the saint ascends the stairs.

"So...what is the dawn?"

A young child opened his big eyes and asked, and his innocent words made everyone silent.

Yes, what is dawn?

Tethys, there has always been only moonlight.

"Dawn is the future of Tethys," the priest squatted down and gently stroked the child's head, "It will illuminate the darkness and bring light."

The scriptures of the Holy City are always full of light, but the priests have never witnessed what dawn is.

Even the gentlest golden moon is just moonlight.

"Dawn..."

The tavern owner wiped the glass, his old face reflected in the glass wall, "My grandfather's grandfather once said that it was a golden light."

Even though they knew that tomorrow was the end of the world, a group of people still gathered in the pub, laughing at what the boss said.

"Old John, you are drunk again!"

"Golden light, isn't that the golden moon?"

Old John did not refute, but stared blankly out the window, "No...that's different," the old voice was like a sigh.

"It is said that it is a light that will make people cry when they see it."

"The light of tears?"

The laughter in the pub gradually died down, and the people holding their wine glasses fell into deep thought. They were all wondering what kind of light could make people cry.

Will it be warm or hot? Will it be mundane like the blue moon, or divine like the golden moon?

A little boy held by his father opened his arms and said: "The light must be very hot, as if it could burn through my palms...but I still can't help but reach out to touch it."

People in the tavern were reminiscing about the past and recalling those unforgettable moments. The precious moon tears filled everyone's wine glass as if they were free.

"Tomorrow!"

"Here's to the future of Tethys!"

"Respect our Saint Lady as well!"

Transparent wine glasses collided, the golden moon's tears splashed, and people's laughter was trembling with a barely perceptible touch.

The bard in the corner plucked the strings of his harp and hummed an ancient song of Thethys. His voice was soft but it gradually quieted the entire tavern.

If there is no light tomorrow.

Become your own light.

If the world is finally sinking.

We once burned like the golden moon.

People listened quietly, and then sang along softly. No one asked what they would do if there was no tomorrow.

They just continued drinking, laughing and singing as if the party would never end.

It seems that this world will have countless bright and infinite tomorrows.

"Being able to get Moon Tears for free from the street is something I never dared to think about before," the girl with long silver hair by the window smiled slightly and looked to the end in the distance.

Finally this day will come.

She withdrew her gaze and looked down at the small and exquisite notebook in her hand, which listed one unfulfilled wish after another, and now, most of them were crossed out with light black lines.

?Have a candlelight dinner with An Ming.

?Walking along the beach with Anming.

? and Anming watched the earliest moonrise in Tethys.

?And An Ming......

Almost all of my wishes are with An Ming. Simple, absurd, insignificant, and even spur-of-the-moment wishes are carefully recorded and then gently crossed out with happiness and sweetness.

The only wish left was the first one. Annie pursed her lips slightly and looked at the first wish she had written down:

Listen to An Ming say "I love you" (unfinished).

Annie pursed her lips slightly and stroked the line of words with her fingertips.

An Ming always speaks with actions instead of words, and Annie would never doubt An Ming's love for her...but he never said those words.

I never said to her in person, "I love you."

There is not much time left for Annie, but she is already very satisfied. Some love does not need to be expressed.

She still has many regrets about being able to meet An Ming and spend five happy years with him, but... now she can leave with a smile.

"You took so much?"

An Ming, who had just returned from outside, saw a row of Moon Tears placed under the windowsill. You should know that before today, Moon Tears were the rarest wine in Tethys, and each bottle could be sold at a terrifying price.

Annie turned her head, her long silver hair gently blown by the evening breeze.

The girl's eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up in a gentle arc, "It's not easy to get a free drink, just treat it as a farewell drink."

She said it lightly, as if she didn't take tomorrow's ceremony to heart at all.

It would be self-deception to say that she was not afraid, but compared to being afraid, Annie was more unwilling to make An Ming worry.

Since that is her destiny, then just move on.

Go to Tethys, the end of the world, and use these eyes to witness her ending with your own eyes.

"Aini."

"Huh? Why are you so serious?" Many emotions flashed in Annie's eyes. When she first woke up, she never thought that there would be such a future.

If you don’t have emotions, you won’t be sad, and you won’t understand love.

But she never regretted it.

This is a choice you won't regret.

An Ming held Annie's hand and looked into her eyes which were still as clear as when they first met. Her pupils reflected her face which was no longer young after ten years of hardships.

If a person's life is only a few decades.

Then he came to this world just to meet Annie.

The moon's tears are as crystal clear as golden water. Drinking them down your throat will dispel all anxiety and panic.

Under the silver moon, people in the tavern stayed up all night. Some hummed off-tune songs and raised their glasses to the moon. People leaning against the windows stared at the silver moon. The guards of the holy city still held their posts.

Even if the world ends, some things will never change.

Before the arrival of the non-existent dawn, An Ming collapsed at the table, and Annie quietly watched the moon tears rippling in the cup.

"I'm sorry, An Ming."

I gently stroked An Ming's cheek with my fingertips and gazed deeply at this face that I would never forget.

She told a lie.

The Moon Tears were actually a gift she prepared for people, and the cup given to An Ming was added with many calming herbs.

Lies will eventually break, but at least for tonight...

Let tonight’s happiness continue into every dream thereafter.

May all the unfulfilled promises turn into moonlight in dreams.
