I was gazing out at the setting sun, feeling a sense of melancholy, when I saw a man in white galloping towards me. He pulled on the reins, and the horse reared up with a neigh. He smiled brightly and called out to me, "Wanwan."
I had no idea what commotion was happening behind me in the palace; it felt as if dark clouds were rolling in from all directions, suffocating me with their weight.
The young man in white nimbly dismounted and rushed to stand before me. He reached out a hand to gently cover my eyes and whispered softly in my ear, "Wanwan, just close your eyes."
The sound of the wind rushed past my ears. Unable to resist, I secretly opened my eyes just a crack. Below me was a tumultuous sea; the Demon Realm's Ximengyuan felt so far away, yet something still unsettled me.
I gently turned my head and found him tenderly wrapping his arm around my shoulder. At the edge of the world, magnificent clouds adorned the Demon City with brilliance. At that moment, Zhuo Jialing held me close, unaware that Ximengyuan would be engulfed by heavenly fire that very night.
I did not return to Heifeng Mountain; at that time, I still owed Zhuo Jialing an answer. While staying overnight in a mortal town, I walked up to him and tilted my head, saying, "You said you would take me to see the scenery beyond the mountains. I wonder where we should go tomorrow."
He slowly took my hand, a slight smile on his lips. "Being with Wanwan is the best scenery in the world."
That night, the breeze was gentle, and the bright moon shone through the wooden lattice window. His voice and smile were both warm and tender.
I slightly closed my eyes, savoring this beautiful moment. I wished to grow old with him in this mortal realm, to be an ordinary couple without seeking eternity—just cherishing every drop of time that flowed through our fingers.
I didn't even realize when such thoughts had taken root in my mind.
It seemed he understood the longing in my eyes; he must have sensed how deeply I loved him.
I kept thinking about how he might propose to me and how I should respond to him.
Should I wear something more vibrant that day, or is something more understated acceptable?
I never expected that on a snowy afternoon in Jiangnan, he would carefully present me with a set of Phoenix Crown and Red Robe, his eyes filled with anticipation as he said to me with calm joy, "I thought it was obvious you would have figured it out by now, but you really are quite dense. So I have to say I like you, I like you very much. In this lifetime, I only want to be with you, to bind you with this Phoenix Crown and Red Robe, so that wherever we go, you can never part from me."
How wonderful it is that our feelings are mutual.
Unlike the heartless tales of Divine Maiden and King Xiang I read in the scripts, our ending will be perfect.
The wedding took place as scheduled. There weren't many demons or monsters present, but it was enough to make it unforgettable.
In the days that followed, I often reminisced about that wedding.
I gently touched the bright red veil and the dazzling tassels, recalling the cup of wine he poured for me during the ceremony.
I sighed deeply, realizing that as an ordinary fairy in this life, I had no further desires. If Tau Tiantian could also be here, we would surely drink until dawn.
Unfortunately, today is my wedding day, so all I can do is speak of it.
I leaned gently against his shoulder, lowering my gaze as I softly said, "I really wish TianTian could witness our happiness."
He gently patted my hand and comforted me, saying, "We will definitely see her again in the future. Trust me."
Cohabitation Wine, drink it all in one go. A Good Night Is Too Short.
