Rest. Apply new ointment. Said Lan Zhan gently as he held Hua Ying in his arms
It's fine Lan Zhan, it hurts because it is still tender said Hua Ying
Sit. Commanded Lan Zhan
But the movement of getting on the donkey is too big. Pouted Hua Ying.
Just then little apple kneeled as Lan Zhan helped Hua Ying onto the little apple who then gently stood up. Lan Zhan then took little apple by the reins. Hua Ying smiled brightly as he remembered the memory of his Phoenix mother and mortal father just like this.
What? Asked Lan Zhan
It's Nothing. Said Hua Ying, just a sweet memory
Lan Zhan, pick up the rein, won't you? Asked Hua Ying
Why? Asked Lan Zhan
Little Apple was quite clever. Give me some face and pick it up, won't you? Asked Hua Ying as his smile got brighter
Although he still didn't understand why Hua Ying's grin was so bright, Lan Zhan listened and picked up Little Apple's rein anyway, holding it in his hand.
Hm. Now all that's left is a little one. Said Hua Ying as he rubbed his abdomen
What? Asked Lan Zhan
Lan Zhan? Would you like to be a father one day? What I mean to say is have your own blood little one asked Hua Ying
Yes, replied Lan Zhan
If I told you that it was possible? Asked Hua Ying
Let's sort this out first before we think of it replied Lan Zhan
With this journey to Yiling, it was clear that their future was still unclear, even somewhat dangerous. Hua Ying couldn't get himself to feel nervous at all. Sitting on a donkey with Lan Zhan holding the rein, leading them down the path, his entire heart was fluttering, feeling as though he was walking on air. Even if a bunch of sects suddenly attacked from beside the road, aside from destroying the scene and spoiling his mood, he thought that he wouldn't find it too bad. He even had the spirit to enjoy the fields under the moonlight, pulling out the bamboo flute at his waist. As natural as ever, he played a tune.
The flute had a limpid timbre. Lan Zhan's footsteps hesitated slightly as Hua Ying felt something inside of him suddenly light up.
Lan Zhan! Let me ask you, back then, under the Xuanwu cave in Dusk-Creek Mountain, the song that you sang me, what was its name? Asked Hua Ying
Why do you suddenly remember to ask about this? Asked Lan Zhan
Because this was the tune I had played when you recognized me in dafan mountain, it is also the only memory I have that is black, I remembered asking you to sing for me, it was this tune right? What's its name? asked Hua Ying
Lan Zhan refused to say anything. He silently stared straight ahead.
Who composed it? Asked Hua Ying
I did. Said Lan Zhan
Have you ever played it for anyone else? asked Hua Ying
No, never. Just you replied Lan Zhan
Then... really.... what is it called? Asked Hua Ying as he laid on little apples back and placed his head on the donkey's neck
What do you think? Asked Lan Zhan
What do you mean what do I think? Just... does it have a name or not? Asked Hua Ying
It does said Lan Zhan
