The End Times as a Song

Chapter 226 I miss home!

"Back to Fangcao Village? Why? What happened?" Li Luo stared wide-eyed at Yan Cai, pressing him for an answer.

This question left Yan Cai at a loss for words: "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I'm not from Fangcao Village! Besides, I don't know that old man!"

Li Luo nodded: "That makes sense...! What about A Yan?"

"Tu Shanyan! He's gone to find his sweetheart...!" Yan Cai instinctively covered her mouth, at a loss for words: "Li Luo...!"

Li Luo didn't know what to say, her eyes darting away, looking very embarrassed: "Go find Huan Huan?"

"I guess so!" Yan Cai replied awkwardly. Then, she raised her hand and smoothed Li Luo's disheveled bangs, comforting her, "Li Luo, just listen to me, give up on Tu Shan Yan! What's so good about him? Is he worth you being so devoted to him for so many years? Are all the men in the world dead?"

Yan Cai's words pierced Li Luo's heart. Li Luo's face fell, and she remained silent. Yan Cai knew that Li Luo didn't really like what she was saying, but as her best friend, she had to speak up. After all, Yan Cai hadn't seen any feelings for Li Luo in Tu Shan Yan. She really didn't want Li Luo to be so stubborn and waste her youth.

When Yan Cai saw the disappointment in Li Luo's eyes, she couldn't bear to hurt Li Luo too much, so she composed herself and continued to comfort her: "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Don't be sad. Oh, by the way, a silly-looking, fair-skinned boy just came by, I think his name was Xiong Xi something!"

"Ah Cai, I know you're worried about me, I'm fine!" Li Luo looked up at Yan Cai, her eyes filled with unspeakable sorrow. She knew Yan Cai meant well, but she really didn't want to give up her unrequited love for Tu Shan Yan after all these years. She forced a smile and teased Yan Cai, "What kind of silly person could possibly catch Ah Cai's attention?"

Yan Cai was displeased upon hearing this and quickly stopped Li Luo: "Hey! Stop! I don't want to be an old cow eating young grass. I'm not interested in that Xiong Xi. Don't try to set me up! You should deal with your Tu Shan Yan first!"

Yan Cai's words left Li Luo speechless. Li Luo was momentarily at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, she said to Yan Cai, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first!" Then she turned and left.

Only then did Yan Cai realize she had said the wrong thing again. She slapped herself hard across the face and cursed, "My foul mouth! What's wrong with me today? I must have caught that brat Tu Shan Yan's crap!" Watching Li Luo's departing figure, she called out reluctantly, "Li Luo, don't be angry! I didn't mean to!"

However, on the other side, Huan Ruge searched all the places Lin Yin might appear, but could not find him. She was sitting blankly on the hill where Lin Yin had taken her to watch the fireworks.

"Where did he go? Did something happen to him? Why did he leave without saying goodbye?" Huan Rugo murmured to herself.

The gossipy Da Nian beast jumped out: "Sister, what are you talking about? Who is he? Who are you thinking about?"

Huan Rugo rested her chin on one hand, touched the Dragon Year Beast Fate in the air with the other, smiled and replied, "Nothing...! I wasn't thinking about anyone!"

Da Nian and Shou Yuan didn't believe her. She continued to probe Huan Ruge: "You really didn't think about anyone?"

"Little Beast! What's wrong with you today? Why are you talking so much!"

"Sister, I miss my brother Qi! I miss home!"

"Home...!" Huan Rugo turned to look at Da Nian Beast Yuan: "Hearing you say that, I also miss my family...! I wonder how my mother is doing now? I don't know how to find her?"

"Hearing you say that, sister...? Sister, you miss home too?" Da Nian, the beast, flew up to Huan Ruge and asked.

Huan Rugo smiled and said, "I didn't miss home much just now! But after hearing you say that, I do miss it! It's been so long since I've been back to Fangcao Village! I wonder how my brothers and sisters there are doing!"

"Sister, if you miss them, why don't you go back to see them? Why are you just standing here in a daze?" Da Nian asked Huan Ru Ge, puzzled.

"This...! That's true...! Anyway, he's gone! No one can stop me from going back to Fangcao Village now, and I should go find Uncle Zhe to discuss how to find my mother!"

Huan Rugo suddenly perked up. Indeed, she hadn't been able to return to Fangcao Village for some time because Lin Yin had stopped her. Now that Lin Yin was gone, wasn't this a good opportunity to go back to Fangcao Village? She didn't know why, but after waking up from a dream, Huan Rugo's heart felt empty without Lin Yin.

"Thank you for reminding me! A-Yuan, I'll go find Uncle Zhe right now!" Huan Ruge jumped off the rock and turned to run towards the inn, but unexpectedly bumped into Tu Shanyan.
