Sensing Hu Tao's change in mood, Xiang Wan was a little confused, but he didn't ask.

Hu Tao lay quietly on Xiang Wan's back. The atmosphere between the two became a little subtle. Hu Tao's slender white index finger gently poked Xiang Wan's neck. She asked curiously: "Wan Wan, you don't want to know.

why?"

"I would like to know."

"Then why didn't you ask?"

Xiang Wan used a little force with his hands to lift Hu Tao's petite body upwards. He calmly replied: "If you want to say something, you will tell me directly."

"What if I just want you to ask?"

There was a strange touch on his back, and Xiang Wan felt that Hu Tao was gently writing something on his back, but the touch was too slight, and he didn't know what Hu Tao had written.

Xiang Wan stopped, and when she turned around, Hu Tao's delicate and white face came up to hers. Then she smiled and kissed Xiang Wan on the left cheek. This caught Xiang Wan off guard, and he calmly turned around and took steps.

, seemed a little rushed.

"Hehe~"

"Wanwan, you are shy."

"I don't..."

"Then why are your ears red?"

There was a cold feeling in his ears, and Xiang Wan felt a little itchy in his heart.

"That's the sunset."

Hu Tao smiled softly and looked up to the sky. The red clouds dyed her fair face a delicate red. The light in Hu Tao's beautiful plum blossom eyes gradually became blurred, as if she was drunk, a little hazy, but very

beautiful.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people long, and they lay flat on the path in Liyue. Hutao looked back, she waved her arm, and the black shadow also waved, which was considered a response.

Hu Tao put his hands on Xiang Wan's shoulders, touched his forehead lightly on the back of Xiang Wan's head and moved slightly, and his gentle voice echoed in Xiang Wan's ears.

"I don't want Wanwan to see me looking serious."

On weekdays, Hu Tao seems to be a playful child. Only when he personally leads the procession of mourners through the dimly lit streets at a funeral, does Hu Tao show a dignified and solemn side.

At that time, she would attract the attention of Liyue people.

And she didn't want Xiang Wan to see this side of her.

The funeral ceremony is the last dignity of mortals. The Rebirth Hall in Liyue can be called the final painter of the picture of life. There are many traditional funeral rituals, such as the funeral and vigil, the burial method, the memorial tablets and equipment, and all the links are strict.

The rules. Regardless of the deceased's high or low birthplace or wealth, they must be given a funeral that befits their status.

This is the way of hospitality at the Rebirth Hall.

Therefore, Hutao attaches great importance to business and never takes it lightly.

Being entrusted by others and being loyal to others, the nature of the Rebirth Hall is special, so it shoulders double responsibilities and must satisfy people in both worlds.

So this is a very serious and serious matter.

For Hu Tao, the work at the Rebirth Hall is neither difficult nor scary, just troublesome.

Hu Tao believes that no matter when, where or for whatever reason, people should not easily provoke "death". Only by knowing it and respecting it can we understand the value of life.

Because of this, she wanted to bury Qiqi before. Since he was dead, she should bury it herself. But as time went by, Hutao investigated many things about Qiqi's past, and slowly understood

Qiqi the value of living.

That is life itself.

Qiqi didn't want to die, so living was the value of her existence, and Qiqi paid a lot for this.

"I just want Wanwan to see me happy."

Hu Tao's words moved Xiang Wan very much.

Recalling the records about Hu Tao in the scroll, Xiang Wan felt an inexplicable soreness on the tip of his nose. He carefully put down Hu Tao, slowly turned around and embraced her into his arms.

Leaning in Xiang Wan's arms, feeling the warmth coming from his body and listening to his steady heartbeat, Hu Tao felt that Xiang Wan's mood seemed a little low, but that low state was not because of sadness or sadness.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine."

Xiang Wan knew that Hu Tao had been weird since he was a child, and his thoughts were even more whimsical, so he lived a carefree life every day.

At the age of three, he stood on his head and endorsed books, and read through famous books. At the age of six, he skipped school on certain days, snuck into a coffin to sleep soundly, and at the age of eight, he stayed in the church and studied funeral numbers. No matter how you look at it, Walnut has nothing to do with stability.

It wasn't until she was more than ten years old that Hu Tao took charge of the ceremony and organized the funeral for the first time.

Ten days before the funeral, Mr. Hu died of illness at home. The Gossip Hall held a high-standard funeral for the 75th generation hall master. The whole process was arranged in accordance with the old man's will and was hosted by Hu Tao.

Hutao, who was only thirteen years old and had not yet become the head of the hall, took care of everything by herself, but she was able to do everything meticulously and satisfy the attendants. After the funeral, Hutao packed her bags and slipped out at night, leaving her alone.

She is alone, with only dry food, water and lighting tools in her luggage. But she is going to a mysterious place that is rare in the world.

From Wuwang Slope, you can reach the border, which is the dividing line between life and death. It is a secret place managed by Shengshengtang for generations.

According to legend, people can see deceased relatives and souls with unfulfilled wishes there.

Hu Tao rushed here because he wanted to see his grandfather before he was completely gone. After two days of non-stop work, Hu Tao successfully reached the border but failed to find his grandfather. There were countless ghosts coming and going, but no one was similar to his grandfather.

She waited for a day and fell asleep from sleep. When she woke up in the middle of the night, only a few lonely souls clapped their hands and laughed at her. Mr. Hu would not be here.

Hutao, who did not believe in evil, waited and waited. Day after day, the dry food was reduced day by day, and the drinking water was almost at the bottom, but grandpa never appeared.

An old woman told her that the previous heads of the Hall of Purity would never linger here. Generations of the Hu family have lived and walked candidly. Hutao finally believed that her grandfather had not shown up for a long time because he had already crossed the border and went to

He arrived at the right place. My grandfather lived an upright life and had no regrets after his death. There was no need to regard his departure as a regret. He just laughed it off and set off on his way home.

It was noon when he got home. Hu Tao climbed over the wall into the backyard and got into the bedroom to pack his luggage. He ran out of water and food, and in his empty backpack, he didn't know when there was a shining eye of God.

As one of the few living people who dared to stay at the border, Hutao may have impressed some unspeakable god. As a result, she received a gift from Heaven, the ultimate proof of strength.

At the age of thirteen, she became the master of the Hall of the Past for the first time. The first person she buried was her dearest grandfather, and Xiang Wan could not give her any comfort.

At the age of thirteen, she was recognized by the Eye of God. She was undoubtedly the pride of heaven, and Xiang Wan was unable to encourage her.

Gentlely stroking Hu Tao's long hair, Hu Tao hugged Xiang Wan's waist. She looked up at Xiang Wan's handsome face and asked cautiously: "Wanwan, are you angry?"

"How could I be angry with you?"

Xiang Wan slowly lowered his head and gently rubbed his chin on Hu Tao's hat.

"I love everything about you."

"So no matter what, I will work hard to improve myself so that I can be worthy of you."

"When the time comes, I will propose to you in front of all the people of Liyue."

"Well--"

"Don't worry about me."

"You are my fiancée under the spotlight. I will be very proud."

"So can you let me see you at work?"

Hu Tao's eyes gradually became covered with a layer of light mist.

"Then you have to promise me something."

"What's up?"

Hu Tao held Xiang Wan's cheeks with both hands, her eyes were slightly red, and she pouted and said, "You can't force yourself."

"I do not have it."

Hu Tao rubbed Xiang Wan's cheek heavily in dissatisfaction.

"You still want to lie to me!"

"I will feel very sad when I see you lying on the ground tired and unable to move for a long time."

"You...have seen everything?"

Hutao nodded pitifully and made an aggrieved sound.

"Um..."
