<h4>Chapter 208 Atheism in Love</h4>


    Igniting a litter bit of me, the skyntern rose up to the night sky slowly and was integrated with the starry lights.


    “It’s time to float the rivernterns!” There came a shout with excitement and agitation from somewhere.


    Bai Aoxue tilted her head to look at Jun Yeyan who was stretching out his slender hand.


    “Let us go.”


    Bai Aoxue walked to the side of Jun Yeyan and gave Jun Yeyan her hand which had been so cold for such a long period of time.


    At this moment, there were lots of young men and women gathering by the riverside, each of whom was so happy and joyful. Bai Aoxue stood in the ce where there were fewer people, looking at these young men and women lightly putting down the rivernterns on the water, which bore and carried their love. They closed their eyes and made wishes piously. The mes were flickering on the surface of the river.


    This time, she didn’t think that it was such a ridiculous thing to make a wish to the gods who didn’t exist at all.


    Perhaps this was because people had something to look forward to in the mind, smoothing the corner angles of people’s characters which were so sharp and arrogant before.


    “Qian! Guess what wish I have made!” There was a female’s delicate voice sounding near Bai Aoxue’s ears. Again, Bai Aoxue saw the young man and woman, who she had seen on the street in Yangzhou.


    At this moment, the woman focused all her attention on the riverntern which was sent away and asked the man beside her in a low voice.


    The man stood, with his hands crossed behind his back. There was only the figure of the woman in his eyes.


    After hearing the woman’s question, the man’s body froze. He showed a smile at the corners of his mouth and said, “Silly girl... Needless to say, I know it all!”


    “You cannot think about it this time definitely!” The girl stubbornly raised her head. She looked at the man and said, with a light glittering in her eyes, which could not be expressed by words.


    After the man heard the woman’s words, he frowned a little.


    “I hope that no matter what, Qian will be happy.” The image that the woman pretended to smile made him feel painful in his heart, but he didn’t know why the woman behaved in this way


    “Silly girl... Once the Falling Flower Festival is over, I will marry you. We will never part with each other for the rest of our life.” The man sighed lightly and wrapped his arms around the woman.


    The woman’s body froze. She didn’t expect that the man would say like this. After she was surprised, she was ecstatic to the extreme.


    “Um, I am going to marry Qian! I will be Qian’s bride!” The woman suddenly threw herself into the arms of the man and shed tears silently with her back to the man.


    All of this had been seen by Bai Aoxue who was not discovered on the side.


    Seeing the woman’s appearance, Bai Aoxue frowned slightly.


    “What happened?” Jun Yeyan, who fetched the riverntern, saw Bai Aoxue frown and asked her confusedly.


    Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan who was holding the riverntern in his hands and walking towards her. He was a tall and proud man, but now he was holding the riverntern which mismatched his temperament. Such a behavior made Bai Aoxue’s heart warm spontaneously.


    Again, she had a look at the man and woman, who were embracing each other. She lightly shook her head and said, “Nothing.”


    Leaving no trace, Jun Yeyan had a look at the man and woman on the side and said lightly, “Let’s go to float the riverntern.”


    Since Bai Aoxue didn’t say it, he also wouldn’t ask more.


    Bai Aoxue, held by Jun Yeyan, went towards the riverside.


    “This river is called March River. A long time ago, there was a man and a woman. They drank the water of March River together and swore to the bright moonlight that they would not leave each other during their lifetime even when they were old with grey hair. Later, the man betrayed the girl, and the man suffered for what he had done. It was exactly the same as they promised. Since then, the river has be a ce that witnesses the young men and women’s love for each other.” Jun Yeyan squatted down gracefully. He scooped up the water in the river and said slowly.


    Once Bai Aoxue heard Jun Yeyan’s words, she didn’t know that there was such a legend, but she would not agree with such a legend.


    Between men and women, if their love needed to be proven by swearing, then such a kind of love had already begun to be worse than it used to be because it was mixed with a burden that shouldn’t have existed in it.


    In two people’s love, there could be a promise, and there could be sweet words. But it was not necessary to swear. Because one’s life was so long that you could not predict what might happen one day in the future at all.


    Perhaps at this moment, your fingers were crossed with each other, but you could not anticipate whether you would part with each other at the next crossroad.


    Oath was the ligature of love and even a fetter.


    While she didn’t need these legends. To put it another way, she didn’t need gods who didn’t exist at all to bless her love. She guarded her own love on her own. If Jun Yeyan really betrayed her one day, she didn’t need anybody to show sympathy for her or give her some help. Because she would end her doomed love by herself.


    If she fell in love with someone, then betrayal was not allowed. You could leave and give up as well. But you couldn’t betray me. If betrayal happened, then both of them would go to hell.


    This was Bai Aoxue’s love. This was her all-or-nothing resolution, and her love regardless of anything. If she were a mayfly which would die at dawn, then in such a short period of time, she would still love whole-heartedly.


    If she were a moth, she would not feel regret for it even though the moth flew towards the fire and came to its doom in the end.


    She would choose one person all her whole life.


    While she might have already chosen this person.


    Among the boundless crowds, on the endless roads in the world of mortals, the probability that they encountered each other was almost zero. But even under such a circumstance where the probability was so small, they still met each other. They happened to fall in love with one another. It was the finest thing in this world.


    Knowing Jun Yeyan as she knew herself, Bai Aoxue clearly knew that Jun Yeyan’s character was almost as same as her character. It could be fair to say that people like them had an unhealthy obsession with cleanliness in love, which was almost abnormal.


    As long as she chose a person, she would not let him go until she was dead.


    Perhaps she would meet lots of people in the future. There might be so many of them that she perhaps would forget lots of her past stories. Those people’s eyebrows, eyes, and lips might look like those of him.


    But she clearly knew that even if a person was 90 percent like him, she also would not have the feeling of being touched as long as that person was not him.


    If she was asked what it felt like to be touched, then she could only say that the feeling of being touched made her heart painful and sour.


    That was her feeling of being touched, simple but real.


    “Jun Yeyan, I’m an atheist.” Bai Aoxue lightly opened her red lips. She looked at Jun Yeyan with her clear eyes and said.


    After Jun Yeyan heard this, there was a “sure enough” smile at the corners of his mouth.


    “As luck would have it, I am also an atheist. Compared with gods, I would rather believe in myself more. But now I not only believe in myself but also believe in you.” Jun Yeyan’s phoenix-like eyes were shining, and he slightly opened his thin lips. There was a bit of temptation roaming in his eyes.


    After Bai Aoxue heard Jun Yeyan’s words, she felt that his heartbeat seemed to miss a beat.


    After a short time of absent-mindedness, Bai Aoxue strode and went to Jun Yeyan’s side. Then she squatted down slowly.


    She approached Jun Yeyan little by little, little by little.


    “Pit-a-pat... Pit-a-pat... Pit-a-pat...”


    They didn’t know whose heartbeat it was, which was echoing loudly near these two people’s ears.


    Their foreheads propped each other, and their noses stuck to each other.


    Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue. Unexpectedly, he looked into her eyes. Her eyes were as boundless as the starry sky. The billowing lights wandered and circled in her eyes, which set off the crescent moon in the sky. It was so burning to the eyes.


    While Jun Yeyan was obsessed with Bai Aoxue’s eyes, those slightly cold red lips stuck to those sexy and slightly wild thin lips.


    Jun Yeyan’s body froze. Although the behaviors that Bai Aoxue had done just were much more intimate than before, he never thought that Xue would kiss him.


    That light scent of medicine with the scent of lotus, which only belonged to Bai Aoxue, was so refreshing and pure. It made Jun Yeyan so enchanted.


    Just in a moment when Bai Aoxue was about to leave, Jun Yeyan reversed the tide. He quickly stretched out one of his hands to hold Bai Aoxue’s head and steadied Bai Aoxue’s shoulder with the other hand. Then he sealed an inviting kiss on her mouth forcefully and went deep into it.


    “Now it’s time for me to give my feedback.” There was an evil and uninhibited smile at the corners of his mouth. His long and narrow upturned eyes showed lights of sess, but with endlessughter and love in his eyes.


    The refreshing breeze blew over. Her clothes were as white as snow. The bright and clear moonlight seemed to serve as a foil for her. It shone and colored transparent lights on the surface of the river. Her ink-ck hair fluttered in the air, dazzling the eyes.


    He seemed to be the master of the dark night. However, his great momentum to look down upon the world restrained itself because of her who was by his side. The profile drawn by a ck-jade mask carried a trace of deadly temptation of clearly demarcated edges and corners.


    After a long period of time, Jun Yeyan loosened his palm which was sping Bai Aoxue’s tritocerebrum and held Bai Aoxue cautiously and tightly in his arms as if he was holding a precious treasure. He patted Bai Aoxue’s thin back again and again.


    Bai Aoxue buried her head into the arms of Jun Yeyan and panted slightly. Her hands clenched Jun Yeyan’s clothes.


    Some wrinkles had already been tugged on the gorgeous clothes embedded with golden lines. But Jun Yeyan didn’t even frown. There was a smile of satisfaction at the corners of her mouth.


    “Xue, let’s go... It’s time to float the rivernterns.” His voice was low, deep, and hoarse, with unique inhibition.


    Compared with the former days, the voice that Bai Aoxue heard from Jun Yeyan was even lower, deeper, and more maic, which could not be expressed by words.


    “Ah... Oh! All right! Let’s go.” Bai Aoxue froze, and then she answered in a hurry. After she said this, she stood up quickly.


    Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue’s image which seemed to be defeated and flee, and he could not help feeling helpless. He didn’t realize that he had be so uncontroble to this girl...


    Jun Yeyan hold the riverntern, and Bai Aoxue lighted themp wick. These two people lightly put down the riverntern on the water together.


    They looked at the riverntern which floated away ethereally with the flowing water. The flickering mes glimmered, which was psychedelic but real.


    “Hey... Jun Yeyan. Today I have a wonderful time. Really.” Bai Aoxue gently stretched out her slender fingers to seize the corner of Jun Yeyan’s clothes and said slightly.


    Incidentally, Jun Yeyan put Bai Aoxue’s slightly cold hand into his palm. The slightly raised corners of his mouth showed his good mood.


    “In the future, Xue will continue to be so happy.” Jun Yeyan said slowly.


    “Hah-hah... Let’s go home.” Bai Aoxue smiled freely and easily, and finally, she said these words. As soon as she finished her words, her body froze. She already had the recognition unconsciously that where there was Jun Yeyan, there was a home.


    “Hum. Let’s go home.” Jun Yeyan held Bai Aoxue’s hand and walked steadily. He held up a piece of the sky for her.


    After experiencing all these things, all the difficulties and hardships were for the gain today.


    Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue, who had left, didn’t know that behind them stood a man, who had been watching them until they were out of sight.


    Looking at the figures of Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue, which were disappearing when they left, Ju Xiao smiled with relief andfort.


    Master..., he finally had a ce to go back. It was really so nice.


    Then Ju Xiao turned around and left, in the opposite direction of Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue.


    The next day early in the morning, Bai Aoxue got up early as usual and trained ording to principles of the preceding world. As the day grew light, she had already packed everything up and been prepared to leave Yangzhou.


    While Mumian and several other people had also got up and been prepared well respectively.


    After leaving the yard in Yangzhou, Bai Aoxue and other people came to the Night Building first.


    “Are Master and Princess about to leave?” Luo Su looked at Jun Yeyan and said regretfully.


    Jun Yeyan nodded and said, “Call the master and the servant down!”


    When Qi Muyuan, who was about to lose her temper for being awoken by someone, heard that Bai Aoxue hade here, she jumped up from her bed like a carp jumping up from the water. Then she quickly got up to pack everything up and rushed out of the Night Building.


    “My benefactor! You finallye here to pick me up!” Qi Muyuan shouted and rushed towards Bai Aoxue quickly.
