Sauvignon Blanc｜Under what circumstances did Xiaoyao make the ice crystal ball?

"Sauvignon Blanc" 2-12 <The smoke and water are vast, the meaning is unforgettable>

Chapter 12 of the second book of "Sauvignon Blanc", "Smoke and water, unforgettable thoughts", hits me every time.

Where is the old friend? The smoke and water are vast. I miss you so much, but I don’t know who to tell.

It's unforgettable, but everything in the past is too profound for me to forget.

"Xiao Yao was silent for more and more time, and Xinyue and An Nian didn't pay attention. In their impression, Xiao Yao was a lazy, unsociable, and aloof person. They didn't know that Xiao Yao was actually the most cold-blooded person. I'm afraid of loneliness and like to talk."

When I went out to buy something, I met Jing and felt uncomfortable:

"She has always told herself that losing a man is nothing, and she can still live a good life. She has always relied on her will to control everything very well, but at this moment, the emotions accumulated in her chest and abdomen suddenly lost control. .”

"When he sat down in front of the gaming table and revealed his emotions, anger and sadness without concealing it, Xiaoyao suddenly admired the person who opened this casino. He put on a mask and dared to express emotions that he usually did not dare to expose. "

Are those accumulated emotions just caused by Jing? no.

The emotions caused by Jing were already revealed when she didn't put on the mask. Her eyes were sore and she just wanted to stay away.

After putting on the mask, the emotions that you dare not expose can be revealed, only the emotions towards Xiang Liu.

"Xiaoyao has been winning money non-stop, betting bigger and bigger, and there is no limit. She is looking forward to causing some trouble . In Huangdi's words, she will indulge herself. But the casino is also strange, Xiaoyao has been No one tried to stop her from winning money. Later, people who gambled around gathered around Xiaoyao, followed her to place bets, and won money with Xiaoyao."

What does Xiaoyao expect to cause trouble? The clearest connection between Xiaoyao and the underground casino is Xiang Liu. Her actions are very much like she hopes to make a big fuss, see if Xiang Liu is there, and attract Xiang Liu.

Sure enough, Xiang Liu came, Xiao Yao stared at him, a little angry, you just came, stopped playing, and lost all the money.

" Xiaoyao said: "You know I'm engaged? "

"It's hard not to know about such a sensational thing! Oh, I forgot to say congratulations. Congratulations!"

Xiaoyao looked at Fangfeng Bei quietly for a moment , then shook his head and smiled: "There are two things I want to discuss with you."

Fangfeng Bei Tou played with his mask: "Say."

"The first is to make poison for you. I can still do it for you now, but... after I get married, I will no longer help you make poison. "

Fangfeng Bei caught the mask and looked at Xiaoyao with a smile: "What about the second thing?"

"I want to get rid of the voodoo between you and me. The Tushan family's wife had a witch doctor from the Jiuli tribe when she was alive. The witch doctor said... our vood seems to be the legendary lover's voodoo. As the name suggests, this voodoo is a lover . It's just time... you and I really... don't get along! " Xiaoyao laughed self-deprecatingly, "You were very tired of this Gu last time, so I thought... when you are free, could you please go to Jiujiu with me? Li, ask the Witch King to get rid of the poison."

Fangfeng Bei stared at Xiaoyao. Under the dim lights of the casino, the smile on his lips showed a hint of coldness.

Xiao Yao said: "Even if the poison is removed, my previous promise is still valid."

Fangfeng Bei said calmly: "Okay, wait until I have time."

The two walked out of the corridor in silence . Xiaoyao returned the mask to the waiter, and walked out of the dark room with Fangfeng Bei one after another. "

This is one of my three favorite descriptions in the whole book, but Xiaoyao’s self-deprecation, questioning and sadness are everywhere in the words:

You know that I'm going to marry Honglong, but you still congratulate me. Don't you have the heart?

When I heard that what we were growing was lover's poison, I laughed at myself and said it was irrelevant, but you just acquiesced?

I propose not to use poison and remove the poison, and to cut off the connection between us. Do you accept this?

"On the street, the moon has already shone on the willow branches and the lanterns have begun to shine.

Xiao Yaoqiang smiled and said to Fangfeng Bei: "I will deliver the poison every three months. I'm leaving."

Fangfeng Bei grabbed Xiaoyao's arm. Xiaoyao didn't look back, nor did she break away from his hand. She just tensed her body and waited quietly.

After a while, Fangfeng Bei said, "Come have dinner with me."

Xiaoyao's body collapsed , she shook her head with a smile and refused: "I don't have time!"

Xiang Liu subconsciously held on to her and didn't want her to leave, but rationally told him that he couldn't keep her and could only strive for more time for the two of them to spend time together. But Xiaoyao felt sad in her heart: I was waiting for you to keep me, waiting for you to tell me not to marry, but you just asked me to accompany you to dinner.

In old man Li Rong’s tavern:

"Li Rongchang said: "If you don't like the mother and son in Qingqiu, the worst possible outcome is to settle down in Zhiyi and let Jing live with you in Zhiyi forever. Let me tell you the truth, Fangfeng Bei's days are like today and tomorrow , even if Jing made a mistake, he is better than Fang Feng Bei..."

Xiaoyao banged the wine bowl heavily on the table, stared at Li Rongchang and said, "I'm engaged, and my fiancé is not him, so - please, please, please, don't keep stepping on others! "

Xiaoyao was angry because of what Li Rongchang said about Xiang Liu, but Xiang Liu reminded her that "he is not a man suitable for women to be with" and said, "don't you know that too?" - A man who is not suitable for women is never a man. Not Fangfengbei, but Xiangliu.

One sentence left Xiaoyao speechless. This was what she had in mind when she refused to kiss Xiang Liu Duqi. It was precisely because she knew it that she kept telling herself not to love him or expect to be with him. But why do you still unconsciously look forward to and get closer when you know it clearly?

"Li Rongchang felt relieved and listened to the murmurs coming from the house. He looked a little sad and sighed: "My uncle is not a bad person, but a very good person, so...he can't forget it . "

Xiaoyao suddenly realized that what Li Rongchang had been talking about just now was actually Xiangliu. Did he know that Fangfengbei was Xiangliu? !

Na Jing must now know that Bei is Xiang Liu.

Xiaoyao looked at Jing, then at Bei , and said to Bei, "Have you finished eating? Let's go after eating!"

Bei put down the wine bowl, stood up, and said politely to Jing and Chang: "Let's go first, you two can use it slowly."

Even the punctuation in this passage is full of emotion.

"He knows Fangfeng Bei is Xiang Liu ?! " ? ! Xiaoyao was shocked and her next reaction was:

"Now Jing must know that Bei is Xiang Liu." The dash serves as a turning point and an emphasis, directly expressing Xiaoyao's concern: Bei's identity will be exposed in front of Jing.

Contrast "Na Jing must have known that Bei is Xiang Liu now", a very calm statement.

""I dare to swear on Li Rongchang's life that Jing has a deep affection for you, and you are the only one in his eyes and heart. "

Xiaoyao turned around and left . The night was quiet and the road was long. Where was her path?

…

Xiang Liu looked at the end of the dark long street and remained silent. "

Does Xiaoyao want to discuss Jing with Xiang Liu at this time? Li Rongchang said so many things about Jing in front of him, but Xiaoyao ignored him, but got angry when he stepped on Fangfeng Bei. Listening to old man Li Rong singing, he realized that Xiang Liu's identity was exposed and left with him quickly. Li Rongchang, what if Jing was very affectionate towards him? If I didn't write " Xiaoyao turned around and left ", I could still imagine her lonely heart when she heard Chang's words: It turns out that he always had me in his heart, we were just destined to have no destiny.

But he turned around and left, making it clear that he didn't want to hear it. What did he do to me now?

If Fangfengbei is just Fangfengbei, just a playmate of hers, then discussing your views on love and life with Fangfengbei is a real discussion. But Fangfeng Bei is Xiang Liu , the person she called after waking up in the thirty-seventh year, the person she hinted that she wanted to spend her life wandering on the island, and the person she still wanted to test out even though she was engaged. Discussing "companions" with him is a clear hint. This logic is like Xiaoyao singing "We will never be separated" in the big whirlpool on the sea, but if it is sung to someone other than Xiang Liu, it will have a completely different meaning.

The road is long, where is her path?

Xiaoyao asked softly: "Bei, tell me...why is it so difficult to find someone to go with you?" ""

Although I am engaged to Fenglong, Fenglong is not the person I want to be with, do you understand? The person I want to travel with is you.

"Fangfeng Bei said: "It is not difficult to find someone to go with you, but it is difficult to find someone who has the same interests, loves you, and can make the journey interesting. ""

Of course you can marry Fenglong, but do you really want to? Will he make you happy?

"Xiao Yao asked: "Is it true that you will never forget someone for the rest of your life? ""

The person you are talking about is yourself! But you are clearly by my side, and you clearly know what I am thinking, but you avoid talking about it. You are so close and so far away. If you are not willing to be this companion, how can I forget you in the future? Old man Li Rong can't forget it, and I know I can't forget it either.

""It depends on who it is. If the person you are talking about is Jing, I think it is very possible. ""

Don't look at me, there is no hope between us.

""Are you saying that he can't forget me, or that I can't forget him? ""

Are you saying that Jing will never forget me? I know that Jing has deep feelings for me. Maybe to him, I am the person who travels with me. If I leave, he will never forget me. But you said I can't forget him? I'm talking about you, what are you talking about?

If Xiaoyao's previous question "I can never forget someone in my life" really meant "Will I never forget Jing in my life?", then there is no question of what Xiang Liu meant by asking "is..." Or” is no longer true. Once a person has preset an answer in his mind and is right, he will naturally follow this line of thought instead of clarifying the question.

"Fangfeng Bei smiled: "It's up to you. ""

You know what I mean.

"Xiao Yao frowned and said angrily: "There are many good men in the wilderness! ""

Marrying Hong Leong is no big deal.

""There are many good men, but I'm afraid there are not many men who can truly put you into my heart. ""

Fenglong doesn’t take you seriously.

""What do you mean? Shouldn't I marry Honglong? ""

I know Honglong doesn’t take me seriously, but what about you? If I don’t marry Fenglong, who should I marry?

""I don't mean anything, you asked me, I just told my opinion truthfully. ""

I'm just telling you, don't be impulsive and think carefully if you want to marry Fenglong.

""Xiang Liu, I really don't understand what you are thinking about? ""

Since you think I shouldn't marry Fenglong, you also know that the person I want to go with you is you. You clearly know the affection between you and me, but you don't want to give me a little hope?

""You and I are just passers-by in this mortal world, just keeping each other company when we meet, just looking for fun! Why should you care what I think? ""

Now I can only be with you for a short time, and I can't give you any promises about the future.

Xiaoyao laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm overthinking it!" No matter what you are thinking in your heart, it has nothing to do with me anyway! ""

I understand, you won't choose me.

In this conversation, both people are playing tricks on each other. Xiaoyao's crazy output hints, Xiang Liu moved flexibly to dodge. It's even more confusing than the conversation on the island behind the sea, and it's extremely heart-wrenching to watch.

Let me cry for a while before writing this...

Xiaoyao was silent for a while and said calmly : "Jing already knows that you are Xiang Liu. He will definitely not tell my brother, but if Fenglong knows, my brother will definitely know." You...be careful. "

Xiang Liu glanced at , but Xiao Yao avoided his gaze and asked, "Who is that old man selling donkey meat?"

"I was once a subordinate of Chi You, a survivor of the decisive battle in Jizhou. It is better to live with all the deaths on my back than to die." Xiang Liu smiled, "Actually, for a general, the best ending is to die in On the battlefield.”

It was obviously a warm summer night, but Xiaoyao felt chilly.

Having arrived at Xiaozhurong Mansion, Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao stopped at the same time, but neither left nor entered. They both just stood silently.

In the past, I felt that there were more opportunities to meet, but I don’t know since when, Xiaoyao always felt that meeting each other was less than once. Tonight, this feeling became more and more obvious.

After a while, Xiang Liu said, "Go in!"

Xiaoyao always felt that there was something she wanted to say, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't think of anything. She said, "Now is no better than before, so you'd better come to the Central Plains less often."

Xiaoyao originally thought that Xiang Liu would ridicule her, whether she was worried that Zhuan Xu would kill him or that he would kill Zhuan Xu, but she didn't expect that Xiang Liu said nothing and just looked at her.

Xiaoyao waited quietly , but didn't know what she was waiting for.

Xiang Liu's cold voice sounded: "Go in!"

Xiaoyao smiled and saluted Liu Lianren , then turned around and knocked on the door. The door creaked open, and Xiao Yao stepped in. When he turned around, Xiang Liu was still standing outside. He was dressed in white and had black hair. He was very handsome, but he was like the white water and black mountains in the north. Even when the wild flowers were everywhere, there was still a lingering desolation.

Xiaoyao couldn't take another step and looked at Xiang Liu steadily . The door slowly closed and Xiang Liu's figure disappeared. "

"Actually, for a general, the best outcome is to die on the battlefield."

Xiaoyao completely understood what Xiang Liu meant - it's not that I don't understand your feelings, it's not that I don't want to go with you, I have chosen my own path, and you have your own path to walk.

"You go in!"

That is your world, where are your relatives and friends. We have all gone too far on our own paths.

At this time, Xiaoyao really realized that he was going to lose Xiang Liu.

On Lantern Festival last year, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day. On the top of the willow tree in the moonlight, people meet at dusk.

On Yuan Ye this year, the moon and lights are still there. I can't see anyone from last year, and my spring shirt sleeves are filled with tears.

Every time I read the scene where the moon shines on the willow trees, the lanterns come on, and Yao Bei bids farewell in the long night, I will think of this poem, with tears streaming down my face and a loss of consciousness.

When were the ice crystal balls made? I think that's after this.

Xiaoyao had already felt that it would be difficult to see each other again in the future, and understood the reason why Xiangliu had feelings for her but could not go with her. After saying goodbye solemnly with "a bow and a bow" , Xiaoyao looked at Xiangliu steadily, as if to make him Engraved in my mind and in my heart.

"When Xiaoyao returned to her residence, Xinyue and Anian were both there. They were drawing on the clothes they bought during the day and talking lively. Seeing her coming back, they smiled and complained: "Good sister, next time you Could you please say hello to us before you suddenly disappear? Fortunately, the guy at the spice shop said you left with your friends and told us not to worry. "

Xiaoyao smiled but didn't answer.

The two of them continued to discuss what kind of dress they should make. They talked about a dress worn by a certain noble woman and wasted a good piece of fabric, laughing together.

Xiaoyao huddled on the couch, feeling confused. These people were her relatives and friends. Why did she feel so lonely? "

When Xiang Liu's figure disappeared, when she returned to her relatives and friends, Xiao Yao finally understood deeply how much she couldn't bear to leave him, how much she wanted to be with him, and how lonely she felt without him by her side. Just like Xiang Liu only understood what she was afraid of when Mei Lin tortured and killed Xiao Yao once, Xiao Yao only understood what losing Xian Liu meant to her when it seemed that they would never see each other again in this life.

"Although she likes the company of others, she is very picky about who she keeps company with. If she doesn't like it, she would rather stay alone and enjoy herself."

——2-4 <Depend on each other in life, follow each other in death>

Therefore, Xiaoyao actually made the ice crystal ball after Xiang Liu almost explicitly rejected her again. After spending four years trying to let go of him without success, she gave up the perseverance that she had always thought was very important. For a slim hope, she gave up the most courage she could to let her heart be with him. There is nothing to hide from. Of course she understood that Xiang Liu could not give up the Shennong Rebel Army. She had fully understood it as early as on Eagle Back, in the rebel barracks, and at the bottom of the sea. At the cost of her willingness to give up everything, leave Zhuanxu, and betray Xuanyuan and Gao Xin, she asked Xiang Liu if he would take her away.

Although, the result was that Xiang Liu completely cut off any possibility between them, and he let Bei die without saying goodbye.

But anyway, before Bei died, he took Xiaoyao away from the wedding. This should be something Xiang Liu has always wanted to do. He took Xiaoyao away as Bei, which was his inner response to the ice crystal ball, "I am willing to take you away." But he let Bei die out of reason. To Xiaoyao's response, "I'm sorry, we can't do it anymore."

Xiaoyao said from the beginning that she was very passive and would not take the initiative to fight for it. She once said to Xiang Liu:

""In the relationship between people, one person must take the first step. Needless to say, it goes without saying between men and women. This is also true for parents and children. When the children are unaware, parents will start to pay. I have always been selfish and would never be the one to take the first step, but between Anian and I, I decided to be the one to take the first step. It's not because of how good or worthy she is, but because of my father and Zhuanxu. I am willing to pay for A-Nian first for my father and Zhuanxu. ""

——1-13 <The peach blossoms shine brightly>

However, between Yao and Liu, after thirty-seven years under the sea, it was Xiaoyao who took the first step. When Xiang Liu had not given her any promise and the possibility of choosing her was very small, she first gave verbal hints. , and finally the ice crystal ball confessed. Don't say that Xiaoyao should be more obvious and straightforward. This is the biggest and bravest step that a person like her who extremely suppresses her true feelings, attaches great importance to her family's position, and is extremely unwilling to give trust and expectations can take. step.

We understand it, and so does Xiang Liu.

But what would happen if you took her away? He will not give up the morality in his heart, will not let Xiaoyao endure the pain of fighting with her relatives, and he does not want Xiaoyao to lose her after falling deeply in love. He can make her "strong enough to protect herself and have somewhere to go" , but he himself is not the right person for her to have "someone to rely on" . It's not about ability or willingness, it's about suitability. The problem between them has been in this "fit" from the beginning, not in feelings.

Xiaoyao's confession to Xiang Liu's ice crystal ball is her only fight against fate, bloodline, position, and her only fight for love in the book.

When a person constantly promises you and tells you that he likes you, you will naturally have expectations for him, and any efforts you make will seem to give you a positive result.

But when a person keeps rejecting you and hints that he can't be with you for the rest of his life, you obviously can't see a glimmer of light, but you still want to bet everything on yourself for that little bit of hope.

Tell me, why is this?

So, should we still blame Xiaoyao for not being brave enough?

In this almost hopeless state of mind, the Mermaid's tentative hand was already the limit of what she could do. If she really asked Xiang Liu about his feelings clearly and put everything on the table, asking him to give her a clear answer or promise, then I would think that she doesn't love Xiang Liu that much.

Because the basic tendency of love is dedication, which comes from the heart and helps the loved one do everything they expect. If she knew that Xiang Liu already had the loyalty of Shennong Yijun, and still forced him to choose between loyalty and love, then in my heart, her love for Xiang Liu is not that deep, and it is nothing more than that of Zhuan Xu or Zhuan Xu. The extent to which Jing likes her and wants to possess her.

Just because of deep love, Xiaoyao will not force Xiangliu; just because of deep love, Xiangliu will respect Xiaoyao. Both sides live up to themselves and fulfill each other within their own capabilities.

Sauvignon Blanc｜Yaoliu Be really started under the sea 37 years ago

The inconsistent love rhythm between Xiaoyao and Xiangliu

If you look at it from Xiaoyao's perspective and Xiangliu's perspective, their love rhythms are inconsistent. The factor that hinders Yaoliu is clearly the stance, but in fact the influence of the stance is staged and the degree is different.

From Xiaoyao's perspective , at the beginning, she knows that even if she does not return to Gaoxin, her true identity is Gaoxin's King Ji, the sister of Zhuanxu/Xingxuan, and the granddaughter of Huangdi/King Xuanyuan. Even if she never leaves Qingshui Town, her and Xiang Liu's positions are destined to be opposite. Others may not be that important, but Zhuanxu/Xuanxuan and Xiang Liu are destined not to sit down and have a drink regularly.

So during the Qingshui Town period, Xiaoyao set the tone for her relationship with Xiang Liu: "I'm afraid of him, but I don't hate him. He and I are not enemies, but we are certainly not friends."

An obvious difference between Shu Liu and Ju Liu is the degree of externalization of Xiang Liu's emotions. Shuliu's emotions were so restrained that he hadn't read the ending and extra chapters of the third book. Many book fans were even wondering: does Xiangliu love Xiaoyao and how much he loves Xiaoyao.

Naturally, from Xiaoyao's perspective, she didn't know how Xiang Liu felt about her during the Qingshui Town period. When Xiaoyao and Xiangliu planted the lover's voodoo, Xiaoyao had no idea what it was. It was only in the second book that the readers learned that they had planted the lover's vood. It was not until the third book that they even learned the truth about the lover's voodoo. It can be said that because the book does not give any description of Xiang Liu's psychological activities except for the extra chapters, the readers read about Yao Liu completely from Xiao Yao's perspective.

But from Xiang Liu's perspective, it's a different story. He didn't know that he and Xiao Liu were on the same side. When he cooperated with Fang Feng to kill Xuan Xuan, he was also questioning his own heart.

"Xiang Liu floated in the water and watched him sinking to the bottom of the lake coldly.

Xiaoliu tried his best to reach out, but couldn't grab anything. His eyes gradually darkened. Just when he exhaled his last breath and water poured into his mouth and nose, he felt Xiang Liu hugging him again, and her cold lips were pressed against his. Give him a breath of relief.

Xiang Liu led him upward like an arrow and rushed out of the water quickly. "

<1-7 The long road of life becomes long>

This is one of the few things I think is commendable in the drama adaptation. This breath-taking kiss wasn't cold, but it wasn't sentimental either. It is pious, and it is a solemn act of deciding to allow oneself to have a weakness and express one's sincerity. Tan Jianci vb wrote "Since then I have been longing for lovesickness", the same is true.

Xiang Liu is a demon. Even though he clearly sees the difference between humans and demons, he is still essentially a demon. He just respects people's behavior at the same time.

"You people are constantly running to pursue some very frivolous things, but the things that really make you relax and happy are often the simple possessions you had in childhood."

< 1-3 Guests coming from afar>

""Except for the gods and humans, all creatures in this world are very straightforward in courtship and mating. In terms of quantity, directness is the only way to go. There are only a few of you who are not direct, so you have no right to blame them. ""

<2-9 Where the wind returns, send treasures>

"Xiang Liu sat on the back of the white eagle, staring at the rolling sea of clouds, his face as sinking as water, carefree and joyless.

After a long time, he looked at Xiaoliu, who was having a good dream, and slowly placed his hand on his heart. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and it disappeared in an instant. "

<1-7 The long road of life becomes long>

The demon's feelings are simple and pure. Once you fall in love, you fall in love. Because he knew early on that Xiao Liu's Gu was a lover's Gu, so when they successfully planted the Gu, from Xiang Liu's perspective, he understood that Xiao Liu had feelings for him and that love was a two-way street.

Xiaoliu said, "I'm afraid of being lonely . I can't find long-term dependence. Short-term companionship is also good. "

There has always been great controversy over whether Xiang Liu was determined to die fighting for the Shennong Rebels from the beginning. My personal opinion is, no. Due to the high consistency of Yaoliu's spirit in the first two books, I think his attitude towards life and death at that time should be very similar to Xiaoyao's, "Life has a beginning, and naturally it has an end. The beginning is not necessarily joy, and the end is not." It’s not necessarily sad.”

If Xiang Liu takes the MBTI test, he is likely to be INTJ: independent, foreseeable, realistic, able to control the situation, establish goals, make plans, and implement with a high degree of execution. This can be seen from his attitude towards the Shennong Rebels. He saw through that Gonggong/Hong Jiang "is a pathetic fool, leading a group of fools, doing pathetic things." And "disdainful while doing it." Now that he has decided to repay his kindness and advance and retreat with Pao Ze, then he will Keep going forward along this road. (ps INTJ looks down upon those who are in a life-or-death relationship)

He knew very well what the outcome of the Shennong Rebels would be. But does it have to be fought to death? uncertain. Death is a possible outcome, not an inevitable outcome, let alone a goal. According to "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", the Communist Party of China attacked Mount Buzhou in anger, and Xiang Liu died at the hands of Emperor Yu, two generations after Zhuan Xu. With Xiang Liu's transparency, he has done everything he should and can do, and life or death is not that important. On the contrary, if Xiang Liu insists on dying in battle with Pao Ze from the beginning, and regards dying in battle as a goal, then the transparent character set up by the author will not be established. In that case, Xiang Liu and the stubborn Gong Gong/ There is no difference in Hongjiang.

"Actually, for a general, the best ending is to die on the battlefield." It is the best ending, but it is not an inevitable ending.

Looking back, one of the two unsolved mysteries in the story is, what exactly is the "do one thing" in the oath of cultivating Gu? There's lots and lots of speculation. On the bright side, it may really be just doing one thing. In a dark way, the joy and pain are a love vow and a prophecy of the story's dark ending. This question, like another meaning of "Don't hate me", is inconclusive. My personal thought is that Xiang Liu doesn't know whether he will die in battle in the future. This "doing one thing" may be to keep Xiao Liu alive once his death is determined in the future, so that one day the killing Gu can be lifted. Prepared for the connection of two people's lives.

When Xiaoliu became Xiaoyao and Gaoxin Dawangji, what was the psychological state of the two people like?

From Xiaoyao's perspective , she didn't know that Gu could only be planted by a couple of lovers, and Xiangliu didn't have any emotional expression for her. Xiaoyao would naturally think that she was just a single arrow to Xiangliu. Thinking that he would not recognize Xiang Liu when he saw him again in the future, Xiao Yao "sighed melancholy" at Wushen Mountain , but maybe this was good. Since it was impossible, it was better to cut it off.

But Xiang Liu’s perspective is: This woman lied to me! He went to Wushen Mountain to force Xiaoyao to kiss him because he wanted to confirm whether Xiaoyao was still Xiaoliu. In the original work, we first planted a gu and then traveled to the bottom of the sea together for at least ten hours and spent more than a thousand times before we had this forced kiss. It was nothing more than asking, will you be the same as before when you regain your true body? (This logic does not make sense in the drama)

So when Xiaoyao refused to kiss him, "Xiang Liu's hand seemed to be unintentionally placed on her shoulder, his fingers brushed her neck, and he said seductively: "Which of the things you said are false? Why don't you confess it for once today? I won't kill you. In Xiang Liu's view, this refusal meant that Xiao Yao had deceived him.

And Xiaoyao said, "I told you before, I only talk nonsense, not lies." I like to talk because I am afraid of being lonely. If I tell lies, I will only become more lonely. "" I am not lying to you, I really think I am Wen Xiaoliu. In Xiang Liu's view, she didn't lie to him, so her feelings were real.

So "Xiang Liu's nails that had become a little sharp returned to their original shape silently. Xiao Yao had no idea that she really had a brush with death at that moment." There is no doubt that if Xiang Liu finds out that Xiao Yao has cheated He could really be cruel enough to kill her. Even if he kills her, he will lose his life.

The perspective switches back to Xiaoyao.

At this time, Xiang Liu's forced kiss hinted to Xiao Yao: It turns out that I don't have unrequited love. But so what? I am no longer and cannot be Wen Xiaoliu. There is no possibility between us.

One thing that must not be ignored here is that Xiaoyao at this time is Gao Xin Jiu Yao who has just restored her identity as Gao Xin Dawang Ji.

As a result of the Zhuyanhua, Xiaoyao's appearance keeps changing, and so does her identity. When Xiaoyao regained her appearance but the Zhuyanhua was not taken out, it also meant that she regained her social identity (although not entirely true), that is, she belonged to the Gaoxin royal family and was the granddaughter of Emperor Xuanyuan and Zhuanxu/Xuan. Xuan's sister (this damn noble bloodline). To use an inappropriate analogy, there are still three things to do before a new official takes office. When his identity changes, his behavior will naturally change, and there may even be a deliberate and excessive change in the short term.

For Xiaoyao, who is extremely lacking and longing for family affection and companionship, she has a high sense of identity with her social identity at this time. Correspondingly, at this moment, the position issue between Xiaoyao and Xiang Liu becomes extremely important. obvious. Comparing it later, it is obvious that after Zhuanxu/Xuanxuan came to the throne, the gap between Yaoliu and Liu's positions should be more prominent, but Xiaoyao still hinted to Xiangliu that he wanted to travel around the world together in this situation, and even sent an ice crystal ball to ask him what he thought.

Xiang Liu's forced kiss made Xiao Yao understand that Xiang Liu came to ask her about her attitude. Who Ye Qi Qi was guarding against by saying "for fifteen years, don't let other men live in your heart" was Xiang Liu. This point is made clear in the play. After Ye Shiqi said this, the camera cut to Xiao Liu being silent, and then cut to Xiang Liu Kai Da forcing his way into the Five Gods Mountain.

But Xiaoyao couldn't kiss. On the one hand, he wanted to keep his promise to Shiqi. Once he kissed, the promise would be invalid. On the other hand, it is self-protection. The issue of that position at this moment is as majestic and shining as the mountain of money that Shaohao placed outside her palace in the Five Gods Mountain, which cannot be ignored at all.

"But I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, you will walk into my dream, and you... are definitely not suitable to appear in a girl's dream. That would be more terrifying than death."

<1-13 The peach blossoms shine brightly>

Translated: You know I have feelings for you, yes, but you and I are destined not to be together. Falling in love with you, sooner or later I will have to choose between you and my relatives. This choice is too painful, and I will be worse off than dead.

Switch back to Xiang Liu's perspective.

Xiang Liu understood what Xiaoyao was afraid of, she was afraid of losing. Due to the issue of stance, the person who initially stood in the way was Xiaoyao, not Xiang Liu. If his stance blocked Xiang Liu from the beginning, then when he found out that Xiaoliu was Gao Xin Da Wangji, he already knew that he and her were on opposite sides. If he wanted to give up on this relationship, it would be unnecessary to go to Wushen Mountain, and he would just end up dead. Just smile and forget each other in the world.

But did Xiang Liu really never waver, and after entering the dream, he completely decided to let go and make a clean break? My current view is, no.

For Xiang Liu, the time he stayed with Xiao Yao as Feng Bei was a sweet time stolen by helping Xiao Yao realize the three things. If it is just to teach her archery to protect herself, it is not impossible to transform into a worldly expert who hides her merits and fame. But he didn't, he wanted to appear next to Xiaoyao with his own face.

Before Fangfeng Bei lost his horse, Xiang Liu asked him three times: "Who do you want me to be?" He really wanted to know what Xiao Yao's feelings for him were, and he was just using Bei's words to test Xiao Yao's feelings for Xiang Liu. manner. In fact, in my opinion, "Who else do you think I am besides Fangfengbei?" "Who do you really want me to be? The friend who makes you want to poison yourself?" These two questions are almost clear.

Switch to Xiaoyao's perspective.

Before Fangfeng Bei fell off his horse, Xiaoyao did not resist his approach because he always made her feel familiar. She may have liked Fangfeng Bei's company very much, but she had never regarded him as Xiang Liu's substitute or a candidate for marriage.

On Chaoyun Peak, when Huangdi asked her to "choose a husband carefully , " Xiaoyao suppressed those complicated feelings and asked with a playful smile: "Can anyone be okay?" Is it okay if there is a marriage contract? Is it okay if it’s your enemy? "" At this time, from Xiao Yao's perspective, she and Xiang Liu had not seen each other for two years, and Fang Feng Bei, who played with her and taught her archery, was another person.

The first part of this paragraph is the first time Fangfeng Bei said in front of the casino: "Who do you want me to be?" "" At the end of this paragraph, Xiaoyao pointed an arrow at Fangfeng Bei and asked, "Who are you?" "" It's hard to tell whether, when she answered Huang Di's question, she was imagining how great it would be if Bei was Xiang Liu, or whether it meant that Xiang Liu would really treat her with such gentleness, patience and consideration.

Combined with the following article, "Last night, when she found out that he was Xiang Liu, she didn't feel surprised at all. It was as if everything should be like this. Even a corner of her heart was relieved, but at the same time, another corner was hanging."

I was relieved to learn that Bei was Xiang Liu. It turned out that Xiang Liu would really treat me like this. It turned out that the person who had been with me in the past two years was the person I had hidden in my heart. Another corner hung up, but in the end Bei was still Xiang Liu, and he was still the enemy of my brother and my grandfather.

The scene of visiting Xianggui at night to suck blood and heal her wounds, the original description is so charming, but the aftertaste is so sour. "Fangfeng Bei half-propped up his body, and slowly lowered his head. His lips were about to touch her neck. Xiaoyao blocked it with his hand, "No! "His lips touched her palm."

Xiang Liu's side is a demon's thinking : You know I am Xiang Liu, but you don't want me to bite your neck. It turns out that no matter what, we can't go back to the past. (The so-called No. 1 libertine in the wilderness is actually not worthy of his name, and he doesn’t understand what he should know.)

Xiaoyao's thinking is human : You have the nerve to ask me why, look at your posture, have you forgotten what state we were in last time when you were seriously injured and drank blood in the medicine pool? I am a girl now! (I haven’t worn a tube top yet…)

Not synchronized again.

What is very beautiful and sad is that after Fangfengbei fell off his horse, Yaoliu pretended to be stupid about his identity and position, and continued to teach archery and travel together. Even when she was with Bei, Xiaoyao could let go of her shackles and be herself. The identity of Fangfeng Bei is like an anesthetic, blurring the position between them, allowing them to only live in the present and accompany each other in the mortal world.

"When she was with Fangfeng Bei, Xiaoyao often forgot her identity. Sometimes she even felt that she was still Wen Xiaoliu, but just wearing women's clothes.

Xiaoyao knew that Fangfeng Bei was Xiang Liu, but maybe because this was not a battlefield, no matter how ruthless the killing god was, after taking off his shirt, he still lived an ordinary life, so he was just a bastard with no future. "

<2-2 The wind and dew stand in the middle of the night>

This is the turning point.

"Xiao Yao asked: "Can you continue to teach me archery? "The subtext is - you're not angry with me anymore, are you?

Bei drank the wine in the bottle and said, "I'm going to leave for a while and wait until I come back." Xiaoyao guessed that he was going back to Qingshui Town. Although there had been no war, he was the general of the Shennong Rebel Army after all, so he still had some problems. There are few things for him to decide.

Xiaoyao couldn't help but let out a long sigh and murmured in a low voice: "How wonderful it would be if you were always Fangfengbei!"

Bei didn't seem to hear anything , put down the wine bottle, stood up and left, his figure disappearing among the heavy curtains. "

<2-2 Fenglu Li Zhongxiao>

The position issue that the two people had deliberately ignored was put on the table again.

Xiaoyao's perspective : Xiang Liu is not just Bei, he is still the general of the Shennong Rebel Army, still the enemy of his relatives, and still the impossible person. So she let out a long sigh and murmured in a low voice, hoping that Xiang Liu would give her a response.

Similar to the previous article:

"Xiao Liu murmured: "No matter how rare the scenery is, I will get tired of it if I see it too much. Unless someone is with me to see it, it will be interesting. Scenery is always dead, and only people can give it meaning. "

I don’t know if Xiang Liu heard Xiao Liu’s mumbling, but Xiang Liu didn’t react at all. "

<2-4 It’s hardest to get together and easy to separate>

Corresponding to the following text:

""Some islands are barren of vegetation, while others are as beautiful as a dream. "

Xiaoyao sighed: "I really want to see it."

Xiang Liu was silent , but suddenly there was a clear whistle, and the white eagle fell down. He jumped on the back of the eagle, and Xiao Yao had to stand up and climb up. "

< 2-9 Where the wind returns, send treasures>

To deal with Xiaoyao's hints and temptations, Xiang Liu had only one solution: don't answer.

But I think his refusal in the first two parts was not because he had decided to let go, but because he couldn't promise Xiaoyao anything. His own ending, life or death, is unknown. If a promise can't be kept, then don't make it.

But what does Xiaoyao want? Xiaoyao just wants a promise, a promise that can be kept, not broken, and can stand the test. Precisely because (she thought) she had been abandoned and her mother broke her promise to pick her up, she paid special attention to her promise.

"Thousands of people make promises, but it's hard to find those who keep them." Xiaoyao values promises, but that doesn't mean she will take them lightly. She will be suspicious of other people's promises, but she will definitely keep her own promises. Regarding the fifteen-year agreement with Ye Shiqi, she would rather risk her life to abide by it. She has expectations and hopes for Jing, but she is always ready for her hopes to fail.

But she would hint to Xiang Liu, hinting many times. I think it's because she knows very well that Xiang Liu is a man of promises. She knew that Xiang Liu did not agree with what the rebels were doing, but he still did his best. Then it is inevitable to look forward to it. If Xiang Liu can make a promise to himself, he will definitely keep it.

Therefore, "Bei seems to have heard nothing." Xiang Liu's perspective is : I can't give her any promise now, so I can't say anything. Xiaoyao's perspective is : He rejected me again. In the end, I still had no choice. Even though he had been with me for so many years as Feng Bei, he still wouldn't choose me.

They entered the seabed in this state for thirty-seven years.

Xiang Liu left with a promise he couldn't give. Xiao Yao thought that Xiang Liu would never choose her anyway, so she wanted to cut off her love. Then Merlin tortured and killed.

The chapter about Merlin's torture and killing is called "Depend on each other in life and follow each other in death". The one who depends on each other is Xiang Liu, and the one who follows him is Jing.

The author did not give Xiang Liu any psychological description in this chapter, and even the confrontation between him and Zhuanxu/Xuanxuan was terrifyingly calm. But we can still tell from just a few lines that he panicked.

"Inside the house, Xiang Liu was discussing spring provisions with his adoptive father. Suddenly, he stood up with a cold expression on his face.

Gonggong looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"I have something to leave." Xiang Liu hurriedly dropped a sentence, let out a long roar, and ran wildly outside. Before the white-feathered golden-crowned eagle could land completely, Xiang Liu had already leapt onto its back and galloped towards the northwest.

Gonggong and the other general in the room looked at each other. "

<2-4 We depend on each other in life and in death>

They looked at each other in shock, indicating that they were surprised by Xiang Liu's abnormal behavior.

"Suddenly, the mountain guard formation guarding Shennong Mountain issued a sharp warning sound, indicating that someone was trying to break into Shennong Mountain."

"The spiritual power and the formation collided, making a thunderous roar."

"A person broke through the formation and came towards the Purple Gold Summit."

<2-4 We depend on each other in life and in death>

How anxious was Xiang Liu that he could forcefully break through the protective formation of Shennong Mountain in the time it took Zhuanxu/Xingxuan and Jin Xuan to say a few words.

Even during the confrontation with Zhuanxu/Xuanxuan, he was extremely calm and tried to take Xiaoyao away in the shortest possible time.

Read between the lines and look back at Xiang Liu's psychology. Is he afraid? I think at this moment, he was scared. If he didn't lose so much spiritual power to Xiao Yao, even if he arrived, Xiao Yao would never be able to save her.

Xiang Liu is extremely powerful, with Dahuang's combat power ceiling, but this time, he almost lost Xiao Yao.

He didn't even see Xiaoyao's death all at once, but felt the entire process of Xiaoyao's torture and murder. He could feel everything, the severe pain of every wound on her body, the tension and fear in her heart, Xiang Liu felt the same from the beginning to the end. He clearly felt Xiaoyao's life passing by - but he couldn't do anything!

Is there anything more desperate than this?

Similarly, the author did not give any psychological description to Xiang Liu. What we see is that the companionship under the sea for thirty-seven years was so warm and touching, but Xiang Liu avoided it after Xiaoyao woke up, and even did not appear in the future if necessary. . Obviously thirty-seven years ago, the two people were not so estranged.

But from Xiang Liu's perspective, he had already lost Xiao Yao once. Xiang Liu came out of the sea of blood from corpses, experienced countless life and death, and even looked down upon life and death. But it turns out that losing a loved one is so painful. It turns out that this is what Xiaoyao said is "worse than death." So if Xiaoyao is really with him, there will eventually be a life-and-death situation between herself and her relatives, and Xiaoyao will always lose one, so how much pain will she have to endure?

And I believe that it is impossible for Xiang Liu not to investigate the truth behind Xiaoyao’s torture and murder. Although there is no mention of this in the book, not checking is completely inconsistent with Xiang Liu's style of conduct. I always feel that when Fangfengbei took Xiaoyao to Li Rong's Donkey Meat Restaurant later, he already knew her life experience. One of the reasons for taking her there was to prepare her for someone who knew her life experience in the future. A place to explore and talk.

Xiang Liu, like Xiao Yao, doesn't care about family background, but it is undeniable that with Xiao Yao's true identity, she is in far greater danger around Xiang Liu than when she is protected by the two emperors. Can Xiang Liu afford to lose her again?

>>>>>

>>>

It's not that Xiang Liu doesn't know what Xiaoyao wants, but he knows that he can't give her what she wants. At this time, Tu Shanjing was heartbroken and asked for death. This not only had an impact on Xiaoyao, who was rejected by Xiang Liu, but also had an impact on Xian Liu. It's not that he would approve of this behavior, but in comparison, he understood that Tu Shanjing was more capable than him in giving Xiaoyao what he wanted - unwavering companionship.

Due to several factors, Xiang Liu chose to let go completely, and even used transactions as a cover to prevent Xiao Yao from feeling that he was owed something.

However, Xiaoyao's perspective is completely different.

From the perspective of the author's writing purpose, if he just wanted to highlight Xiang Liu's deep affection for the sea, then Xiao Yao could be completely unaware of it. Anyway, Xiang Liu doesn't want the two of them to be together.

Then she will wake up and wonder, who saved me? Even if she learns that it was Xiang Liu who saved her, and hears her brother saying that Xiang Liu asked for a peak of Shennong Mountain in exchange, she might still laugh to herself: Look, he doesn’t care about me that much, he even saved me The conditions were such that I really didn’t suffer a loss, so I made the right decision.

But the author writes that Xiaoyao gradually became conscious.

What is this writing saying?

Let’s substitute Xiaoyao. She was inexplicably tortured and killed, and spent a period of time in which she "can't see, hear, or feel, but is conscious and very painful. "

At this time, she began to feel something, feel a little warmth, and slowly feel the beating of another heart. Every time Xiang Liu came to heal her, it became the only time when she felt that she was still alive. Even because of Gu, "the two hearts are connected, and she can vaguely feel his movements."

The setting of Lover's Gu is both clear and vague in the book. What is clear is that "lovers breed Lover's Gu, and heartbroken people breed Heartbroken Gu." "The sycamores on the ground are in stalemate, the eagles in the sky cannot fly alone, and the mandarin ducks in the water will both die." It's vague . The point is that Xiaoyao rarely feels Xiang Liu.

But actually from the book, it can be basically inferred that Xiang Liu is deliberately concealing his feelings and not passing them on to Xiao Yao (whether it’s because Chong Chong Beasts are a family, or because Xiang Liu has high spiritual power). There are several times in the book where he deliberately or unintentionally reveals Places where you feel, such as your heartbeat at the bottom of the sea, and clear water soothing your heartache.

Thirty-seven years under the sea, which is most easily overlooked, is the most obvious , because Xiang Liu has no idea that Xiaoyao is conscious, so he doesn't control it at all. Therefore, Xiaoyao really felt what he did.

We are from the perspective of Xiao Yao instead of Xiang Liu . We know that Xiang Liu held Xiao Yao tightly when he was healing, fed blood, bit her neck to suck out the toxins, heard what Xiang Liu said to her, and knew that Xiang Liu felt that she was lying in bed. When she is unhappy, she will hold her to watch the snow, the moon, and play under the sea. She would fall asleep comfortably in Xiang Liu's arms, and tell him the same answer in her heart, "Snow in the Far North," and listen to the mermaid's mating songs together.

We all know these from Xiaoyao’s perspective.

Even after Xiang Liu died, Xiao Yao recalled:

"While sleeping at the bottom of the sea for thirty-seven years, they were together night after night. That was probably the time when Xiang Liu was at his gentlest. There was no use of transactions or tit-for-tat. Instead, one just led the other around the bottom of the sea, and one occasionally said A few words, and one is forever silent."

<3-18 Commitment to stay or leave>

For Xiaoyao, who is most afraid of loneliness, what does thirty-seven years of companionship under the sea mean? This is the only light she can grasp, the only warmth she can greedily absorb.

"Xiaoyao recalled that when she was unconscious, the happiest time was when Xiang Liu was with her. Even if he didn't say anything, she felt that she was no longer lonely, and the eternal darkness was no longer so unbearable."

<2-5 But the farewell lasts for a long time>

Japan once conducted an experiment. Strange men and women could quickly fall in love with each other by just kissing five times without any verbal communication.

What's more, Xiaoyao and Xiangliu were originally in love.

During these thirty-seven years of companionship, hugging, healing kisses, and sleeping on the same bed, for Xiaoyao, love has grown like wild weeds.

So when we saw her body moving, our first reaction was:

""Xiang Liu! "Xiaoyao immediately turned over and sat up, but hit something with a bang, causing his head to hurt."

After that:

"Only those who have been imprisoned by darkness will understand how precious the most ordinary sunlight in the world is! The sunlight pierced her eyes, but she could not bear to close her eyes. She stood up happily facing the sunlight, with tears in her eyes, unable to bear it. He roared several times.

After her mood calmed down a little, Xiaoyao realized that she was wearing a loose white gauze dress and standing on a large open shell. She was surrounded by the boundless blue sea. The waves hit the shell and splashed countless white flowers. of waves. "

After waking up, he "can't help but smile " and feels like "a pearl hidden in a shell ." This is the imagination of lovers.

Immediately following:

"Xiao Yao put her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly: "Xiang Liu, Xiang Liu, where are you? I woke up. ""

She was calling to him.

Thirty-seven years under the sea can almost make Xiaoyao sure that Xiang Liu cares about her and loves her. Otherwise, it would be better to save her life and heal her once a month. Why stay with her every night and take care of her? What about my mood.

Xiaoyao, who had just gained light, was extremely happy. At this moment, she forgot that Xiang Liu told her before she lost consciousness that Jing was about to die, and she had no time to think about her brother. She just instinctively wanted to see him, and her heart was infinitely inclined to Xiang Liu. So when she sees the fur ball:

Xiaoyao asked happily : "Xiang Liu asked you to take me to see him?" "

Furball shook his head.

Xiaoyao asked hesitantly : "Did Xiang Liu ask you to take me back?"

Furball nodded.

I don't know if Xiang Liu has something to do or if he is deliberately avoiding her. Anyway, he doesn't want to see her now. Xiaoyao stood in a daze , the joy of regaining the light disappeared like the tide at low tide. "

What an inestimable joy it was to regain light after thirty-seven years of darkness, but it disappeared because he refused to see her.

You can imagine how big a blow this is.

From Xiaoyao's point of view, she was almost sure of Xiang Liu's feelings for her at this moment, but Xiang Liu's actions were a clear rejection. The signal sent to Xiaoyao is: no matter how much I love you, we will never be together.

If the author wrote that Xiaoyao was ignorant, then she would not know what Xiang Liu had done, and she would not have expectations; without such high expectations, there would not be so much sadness.

"Xiao Yao's head was buried in Mao Qiu's neck, and her tears rolled down one by one. They came quietly and disappeared quietly on Mao Qiu's feathers."

She was sad precisely because she found that even if Xiang Liu loved her, he would not choose her.

The Xiang Liu who forced her to kiss her at the bottom of the sea and asked her if her feelings were the same as before and whether she had deceived him. The Xiang Liu who was gentle, considerate, cynical, but meticulously taught her archery for more than ten years in Xuanyuan City and the Central Plains. Let go. .

From Xiang Liu's perspective , he might have thought that he was the only one trapped in it, and as long as he pulled away, he would not fall into Xiao Yao's dream, so he stayed away from Xiao Yao. Even in the name of transaction, this love affair was wiped out. But what he didn't know was that Xiaoyao knew everything in the past thirty-seven years, and he let go at the moment when Xiaoyao clearly understood the feelings between the two.

So Xiaoyao went back and found that Jing was so sad that she begged for death for her, and then the endless thoughts weaved into a web. Is it reasonable? It’s so reasonable! It can almost be said that Xiang Liu's rejection broke her heart, and she realized that Xiang Liu would not choose her no matter what. The superficial strength was actually concealing the most fragile feeling deep down in her heart that she had just been given up. At this time, I found out that someone took me so seriously, how could I not be shocked in my heart.

So Xiaoyao, who still harbors a little fantasy, heard Zhuanxu/Xuanxuan say, "I will keep my promise, and naturally I don't want Xiang Liu to play tricks . "

"Xiao Yao immediately asked: "Is there any condition for Xiang Liu to save me? "

Zhuan Xu said: "Before, he only said that he might save you and asked me to agree to him taking you away. I had no choice but to agree. A few days ago, Xiang Liu came to see me and asked me to promise him a condition. You You can come back safely."

Xiang Liu is really very clear about every move, and he won’t suffer any losses! Xiaoyao felt very complicated in her heart. She couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or relieved , so she asked, "What are the conditions?"

"He asked me for a peak from Shennong Mountain."

Lost? If there is no love and no expectations, how can one be lost?

Relieved? Fortunately, you let go, and so did I.

Then she said to the unconscious Jing:

""If you really value me as important as your own life, will you never abandon me no matter what you encounter? ""

""You are so smart, you can't answer this kind of question. There are some things that cannot be said, as they will appear false as soon as they are said, they can only be done. ""

Even when Zhuanxu/Xingxuan took her back to Shennong Mountain:

"Zhuan Xu suddenly asked: "Have you really thought about it? Jing may not be the best man, nor may he be the most suitable man for you. "

Xiaoyao opened her eyes, smiled and said, "You and I are both abandoned people. You should understand what I want." "

From Xiaoyao's perspective , she was abandoned by her mother and father successively. Although the misunderstanding with her father was resolved, the pain in her heart was always there. After thirty-seven years of such intimacy under the sea, Xiang Liu also gave up on her when her feelings were at their strongest and most passionate. A heart is actually scarred.

Meeting again is the ceremony for Jing to succeed the clan leader. See Fangfengbei:

"For a moment, her heart was beating wildly, and she wanted to run away. She was busy and forced herself to calm down, and said calmly: "I didn't see you when I was watching the ceremony just now. ""

<2-6 Why is it too urgent to fry each other>

Neither of them knew how to face each other, and how could they turn a blind eye to the past thirty-seven years. Xiang Liu gave a step:

Fangfeng Bei smiled jokingly: "Who else could you see in your eyes just now besides Tu Shanjing?" "

His tone sounded just like Fang Fengbei's, and Xiao Yao became much more natural. "

Fangfengbei is a veil between Xiaoyao and Xiangliu. Wearing this veil, they can pretend to be just playmates. Those who don't want to admit or face can be hidden under the veil.

But after all, something was different, and they didn't even realize it.

There is a place for special details. Thirty-seven years ago under the sea, Xiaoyao and Bei each rode a horse every time they traveled. But thirty-seven years later, the two of them were traveling together on the same journey.

The time my left ear was free:

"Fangfeng Bei put his thumb and index finger to his lips and whistled loudly. A Pegasus came trotting over. Fangfeng Bei got on the horse and extended his hand to Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao took his hand and rode on the Pegasus. "

<2-6 Why is it too urgent to fry each other>

The time Xiaoyao left school:

"Fangfeng Bei climbed onto the Pegasus. Xiaoyao held his hand and climbed onto the Pegasus."

<2-8 Suddenly heard the sad wind>

The time Zhuanxu/Xingxuan got married:

"Xiang Liu turned around, stared at Xiao Yao, and stretched out his hand.

Xiaoyao held his hand and climbed onto Pegasus' back. "

<2-9 Where the wind returns, send treasures>

In the moments when no one acknowledges or faces them, there is unconscious intimacy, but no one talks about it.

When Xiaoyao said:

""How great it would be if I saved you when you escaped from the death arena! In that case, I will let you just make Fangfengbei! I really wish I could have been born hundreds of years earlier. I would definitely go to the death arena to find you...""

<2-6 Why is it too urgent to fry each other>

Xiang Liu already knew that Xiaoyao was conscious for thirty-seven years at the bottom of the sea.

"Bei stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to caress Xiao Yao's cheek, but as soon as he touched Xiao Yao, he suddenly retracted his hand, glanced behind Xiao Yao, and mocked disdainfully: "You can still save me like this? Do you deserve it? ""

It turned out that she knew everything, she actually knew everything, and she actually understood everything she had hidden. The hand that touched her cheek at that moment was filled with emotions that were ready to come out. I want to tell her that it's okay, this is already good. I want to tell her that I love you.

But Jing's appearance finally made him wake up instantly and return to reality. He couldn't give it, and he couldn't let Xiaoyao bear the pain of losing it. He had already chosen his own path, and he had forced Xiaoyao to go her own way.

So much so that we later swam together under the sea:

"Xiang Liu said: "That's..."

"The love song of a shark when courting a mate."

"How do you know?" Xiang Liu looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously .

Xiaoyao pretended not to care and smiled: "I guess, legend has it that the singing of the sharks is very beautiful. Who else in the sea can have such beautiful singing besides the sharks?" Xiang Liu didn't want her to know that in her She didn't want Xiang Liu to know what he had done with her when she was in a coma. She knew that those hugs and companionships should be buried in the dark seabed! "

<2-9 Where the wind returns, send treasures>

Does Xiang Liu really believe it? As early as when Zuo Er was free, he had already guessed that Xiao Yao knew everything, and this time was just a confirmation. Otherwise, why seal her mind when she was killing Gu in Yushan?

If Merlin hadn't killed her, Xiang Liu might not have understood what Xiao Yao was really afraid of.

Without the companionship of Thirty-Seven Years Under the Sea, Xiaoyao may not understand that Xiang Liu really loves her.

If he had not experienced true love before, a passive person like Xiaoyao would not take the initiative to give away the ice crystal ball on which he gambled all his heart and courage. He would not "dress in white and sit barefoot on the black rock" , as if giving up everything. of determination.

If he had not truly experienced the pain of losing his beloved, Xiang Liu would not have let Fangfeng Bei disappear completely. He would not have left even a trace of thought for Xiaoyao, and even used thirty-seven years of food and grass to make Xiaoyao hate him for his cold calculation.

The most beautiful and tender thirty-seven years were a cup of wine that was sweet in the throat, but the aftertaste was heartbreaking, and only a pot of wine was brewed for Xiaoyao and Xiangliu

 blimarch:

And did you notice that? : XL poured wine in a glass, XY drank in it, and then she poured wine in the same glass. And then, FFB turned the glass in his hand to search for XY's lips imprints and drink on it. Here's the scene:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg2NwewP8yw

FFB, that shameless seasoned flirt!

In an interview Tan Jian Ci said he came up with this as something FFB would do, but he didn't know if anyone would notice, so congrats on your eagle eyes.

 AH :

If we are evaluating whether XY consented to having XL bite her and suck her blood in that scene, the reason why XL silenced her isn't relevant. She was silenced, grabbed, and bitten. Her body shook before he bit her, and she scrambled away as soon as he released her. I'm all for trying to see things from multiple angles, but I really don't see how that could be construed as a situation where XY had consented to being bitten and having her blood sucked.

That scene was not where she gave XL her consent, as I explained.  It's my fault for adding the last sentence, so you're conflating my saying she never said no, to that specific scene with the silencing spell.  But the point is, obeying as his man, covers many situations.

 AH :

XY was aware of XL's reputation, and XL did warn her about / threaten her with bodily harm. And then in response to XL hurting her, she "agrees" to make whatever concoction XL asks for.

But it sounds like you're saying that your interpretation is that XY consented to be assaulted in the future... while she was being assaulted.

No.  XY had already agreed.  He punished her because she somehow still didn't seem to be taking him seriously when he said he would punish her for future failure.

 AH :

I mean, what "consent" would be invalid, if not "consent" that's given under duress? Why even talk about consent if there isn't a difference between forced "consent" and real consent, and the person giving the consent has no ability to withdraw it?

We are forced to give consent all the time.  I gave two extreme examples, the draft and in lieu of execution.  You can withdraw your consent to either, if you'd rather go to jail or die.  I suppose one  difference would be authority vs. criminal.

 AH :

I don't disagree with this on its face, but I don't think it's relevant to evaluating whether XY consented to XL biting her and sucking her blood.

If you're suggesting that the blood sucking was understood to be part of their original agreement, I would disagree with that.

Yes, I think this is where we seemed to disagree.  I think consenting to be XL's man covers many of his actions some people object to, such as being used as bait.  Actually, I'd argue blood sucking seems to fall in the specific remit of providing him with medicinal products.  Who knew said products would actually be within her body? 

 AH :

It sounds like maybe what you're suggesting here is that you view XY as having "agreed" to be something akin to a soldier in the remnant army. And since XL has the authority to uphold military law and enforce military discipline in his camp, he therefore has free reign to assault any soldier or other person in his service at any time and for any reason, and that person should be viewed as having consented to the assault even if XL personally used force to get that person to "agree" to be in his service.

Really?

That description fits so many imperial / royal characters I've seen of late.  But it isn't what I said or how I view military leaders, much less General Xiang Liu.  Yes, to XY agreeing to be something akin to a soldier or liegeman.  No, to free reign to assault (that is not how the military works).  But he does have the authority to punish and execute and he executed spies.  She definitely attempted murder against him and Chubby, as well as theft and trespassing, and was a liar, and was in disguise, and he suspected her of spying.  But instead of executing her, he gave her the choice of execution or working for him.

In an interview Tan Jian Ci said he came up with this as something FFB would do, but he didn't know if anyone notice, so congrats on your eagle eyes.

I'm tempted to rewatch the show and look carefully to find what YaoLiu crumbs the writers left for us ??

Credits to all the astute detective netizens roaming social medias!

And there's another "easter egg" I discovered: the wine bottle we see in the hands of FFB on episode 37 is the same wine bottle from which WXL drinks in episode 12. Check it out closely and you'll see a mark on it that even FFB exposes clearly on episode 37. This cute easter egg can leads us to deduce several things:

• XL went back on the riverbank to retrieve the wine bottle and kept it with him the whole time (several decades)
• XL wanted to keep the wine bottle used the day WXL and him planted the poisonous bug, maybe as a commemoration of their love oath
• XL may keep the wine bottle as a fond memory of the times in Qing Shui Town when XY was WXL, a time that will never come again
• as FFB on episode 22, XL still continues to "indirect kiss" XY by drinking on her lips imprints 
• this wine bottle was first gifted by TSJ to WXL on episode 10. XL certainly knows that because he was "spying" on WXL when TSJ came visiting  with a backet containing the bottle. We know XL came because he disappeared under his "snow form" that TSJ chased away with his powers (TSJ lied to WXL and didn't reveal XL was there)
• by using the wine bottle in front of XY, XL is calmly displaying his love on episode 37. Is it a declaration? Is it to test her memory/love? Or is he so certain she won't notice, that he dares do it, just like he dares saying formidable love declarations as FFB because he knows she won't believe it?
• XL has another white wine bottle with a feather he uses in episodes 18 and 29. When does he uses one or the other? Did he only used the black wine bottle just to show off his love blatantly in front of XY?
• the wine bottle kept by XL may have the same functions to him as the plum wine bottles that TSJ send to XY to remind her he misses her and the promise she made "to not let another man into her heart". Does XL's wine bottle represents the fact that he can't/won't let go of her? Does XL want to remind XY the promise she made to him on the riverbank? As a foreshadowing, does FFB hint that he's going to make her keep her promise soon?
