Chapter 419

The wind blew so hard that Ning Chen shielded his left hand in front of him and squinted his eyes.

Within his narrow field of vision.

Countless cherry blossom trees were stirred by this wind.

The branches swayed ceaselessly.

Innumerable cherry blossoms detached from the branches.

They all soared upward along the wind's trajectory toward the sky.

A sea of cherry blossoms formed, swirling in midair; thousands of butterflies danced together, like accompaniment, like cheers!

Countless cherry blossoms!

Howling gale!

Moving butterflies!

Nianhua Bay presented a visual feast that stunned the world during the cherry blossom season!

【Wow!!!!】

【No regrets in this life!】

【I'm crying, really crying!】

【This scene would absolutely make the news!】

【I dare not blink right now, fearing I might miss some shocking moment!】

The strong wind forced Ning Chen and Zhang Xiao to press their hands in front of them.

The Husky kept barking fiercely at the wind.

Until a cherry blossom drifted into its mouth.

It instantly fell silent, though its expression remained serious.

Ning Chen watched this scene through the gaps between his fingers.

Those fragmented memories seemed to reconnect through these cherry blossoms.

He asked his girlfriend:

"Do you think the flying cherry blossom petals look like butterflies?"

Si Shiya answered him:

"Idiot, of course they do. It is said that the speed at which cherry blossoms fall is five centimeters per second, but if they ride the wind, they will keep flying into the sky, just like butterflies."

As she spoke, Si Shiya winked at Ning Chen and smiled happily.

"Ning Chen, I feel our lives are like cherry blossoms; after ripening and falling, they quickly hit the ground and die, but precisely because of this, we must strive continuously, blowing up gusts of wind that never cease for our lives."

"Let these petals grow wings to fly into the sky, never to wither."

Si Shiya was not amidst those cherry blossoms, yet cherry blossoms were constantly blooming around her.

"Perhaps one day I will disappear from your life; will you be sad? But that too will become a wind blowing upon you. At that time, do not fall into decadence or despair. No matter what, I will always be with you; perhaps it will be me, perhaps it will be memories."

"Let us go see the cherry blossoms together, go see an extremely grand cherry blossom spectacle; in our sight, the petals swept up by the gale throughout the whole world will roam above the sky, never to fall." She hopped forward a few steps, turned back, and smiled as she spoke to Ning Chen.

"If there is a chance, let us go see it together."

A gust of strong wind struck, and the cherry blossoms on the full branches suddenly began to scatter.

Those cherry blossoms were blown into the sky, like butterflies dancing gracefully.

Ning Chen, alone, raised his head and stood amidst that elfin dance; he gazed at the sky full of cherry blossoms, not blinking an eye.

He watched so intently that no one knew what had happened to him.

His entire body stood motionless there.

No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, he slowly lowered his head.

His eyelids drooped, and his gaze was somewhat dejected.

【Check-in landmark objective unlocked: Cherry Blossom Butterflies】

Everyone had words they wanted to say, and they could not finish speaking them.

Whether the viewers in the live broadcast room.

Or Ning Chen himself.

But that person was no longer there.

Only memories remained.

285. (5/5) Indeed, the Christmas tree was a lie.

Ning Chen drove the motorhome.

With Zhang Xiao and the Husky.

They left Nianhua Bay.

Here.

He had seen the sky full of cherry blossom butterflies.

He had seen the Red Jade Sacrifice.

Back then, before that old man.

He had been somewhat lost.

But when he saw those cherry blossoms rushing toward him.

Those faded memories, like surging rivers.

Floated up again.

She told Ning Chen.

Life is like a cherry blossom.

Brief.

Yet it must bloom brilliantly.

In that moment.

Ning Chen felt as if he had gained something.

If

the journey before had made him and Si Shiya drift further apart,

then now,

they had drawn much closer.

Like footprints left on muddy ground.

Ning Chen was stepping right into those footprints, following them.

Step by step.

Walking toward her direction.

Ning Chen's eyes fixed tightly on the road ahead.

This time,

it was different from usual.

The look in his eyes was no longer dim and lifeless.

A hint of light had appeared in those deep eyes.

Zhang Xiao sat in the passenger seat.

Quietly watching Ning Chen.

She had followed Ning Chen for so long.

For the first time, she felt something was off.

She felt

that Ning Chen's mood seemed quite good?

At least, that was the kind of feeling it was.

Zhang Xiao didn't understand either.

But she always felt

that this state was very attractive.
