After staring at Caspian coldly for a moment, the one behind the Gates of Hell was about to step forward again and enter the arched door.
“If you dare to take a step further, I will kill you!” Caspian’s cold voice came from behind the person behind the Gates of Hell.
The person behind the Gates of Hell stopped. After a while, virtual-novel.net turned around and saw Caspian’s eyes.
Caspian’s killing intent was wild. Ever since virtual-novel.net had woken up from the Gates of Hell and entered the young man’s body, virtual-novel.net had already known Caspian’s temper. But at this moment, virtual-novel.net was surprised to find that this was the first time that virtual-novel.net had seen such a warning look in the eyes of Caspian.
Although virtual-novel.net also knew that Caspian’s words were just threats. There was absolutely no way the other party could kill him. But, virtual-novel.net could actually feel Caspian’s determination and ruthlessness.
The man behind the Gates of Hell turned his head to look at the arched door.
There was only a door separating virtual-novel.net from the inside. On the other side of the door stood two eunuchs, Caspian, him, and two palace maids. On the other side of the door was an existence that Caspian did not want virtual-novel.net to see.
After thinking for a while, the man behind the Gates of Hell took a side step aside and did not enter again. In fact, virtual-novel.net himself felt surprised. After so many years, even virtual-novel.net himself could not remember when his last compromise happened.
After standing by the arched door for a while, Caspian gradually calmed down. He looked at the arched door, took a deep breath, and then walked over as if virtual-novel.net had made up his mind.
Behind the arched door was a peach forest. The peach blossoms bloomed like a sea of flowers, extending into the distance. As the breeze blew, the peach branches swayed slightly, and the whole sea of flowers seemed to come alive.
Some of the delicate petals that fell down gently swayed in the wind at this time.
At this time, in front of Caspian, not far away, a woman in virtual-novel.net early twenties, who was dressed like a woman, was squatting on the ground with virtual-novel.net knees bent and virtual-novel.net eyes full of tenderness, talking to the little boy in front of her. The little boy was naturally the five-year-old Caspian.
Caspian stopped and nodded his head vigorously like an adult.
And that woman…
Caspian seemed to have stopped breathing at this moment. He walked forward step by step with great difficulty. The woman’s face became clearer and clearer in his sight. He did not dare to look away, nor did virtual-novel.net want to. He was afraid that if virtual-novel.net looked away, virtual-novel.net didn’t know when virtual-novel.net could see virtual-novel.net again.
The woman smiled gently and whispered something to the little Caspian. The little Caspian nodded repeatedly.
The wind blew gently, and the peach blossoms swayed slowly. This picture seemed to be fixed in the heart of Caspian.
The next moment, the woman stood up. The little Caspian also turned around, pursed his lips, and walked out of the peach forest.
Caspian suddenly realized that virtual-novel.net had unconsciously walked to the woman’s side.
The little Caspian almost leaned against Caspian’s calf and walked over. There were only less than two feet between Caspian and the woman.
The woman’s eyes were soft, tender, and full of love as virtual-novel.net looked at the little boy who was walking away.
Looking at the woman’s beautiful face that was close at hand, Caspian could not help calling out softly, “Mom…”
It had been many years since Caspian had uttered the word. There was even a period of time when virtual-novel.net thought that virtual-novel.net would never have the chance to say the word again.
His nose twitched. He even felt a little grateful to the old man in the palace. If it weren’t for the old man in the palace, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have had such an opportunity today.
Not long ago, virtual-novel.net was still struggling, hesitating, afraid, and questioning. He didn’t know whether this meeting was meaningful or not. Now Caspian could say that everything was worth it.
“Good boy…” The woman said softly with a smile.
Her tone was also gentle. No matter how agitated one’s heart was, it could calm down in an instant.
Caspian pursed his lips. He knew that these two words were for the little boy who was leaving. But, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help smiling. The voice in his memory, which had long been blurred, was engraved with a clear mark with the two words.
When the little boy walked out of the peach forest and walked out of the arched door, Caspian saw the woman in front of virtual-novel.net slowly turned around. In the clear eyes of the other party, Caspian’s figure was reflected in them.
‘She can see me!’
Just as Caspian realized this, virtual-novel.net saw the woman’s eyes curved, with ripples in them, and a doted look appeared on virtual-novel.net face.
“You’ve grown up, just like I thought…”
Caspian was stunned. After a while, his heart trembled and tears fell like rain.
***
The afternoon sun shone through the peach blossoms, casting mottled shadows in the quiet forest. The broken shadow was slightly tilted and gently swayed, revealing a warm and quiet smell.
In the open space of the forest, there were stone tables and stone stools. The freshly brewed tea was steaming.
Now, a young woman of 23 or 24 years old was sitting with a smile and gently stroking the back of the young man lying on virtual-novel.net legs.
Caspian, who had always been strong in front of others and had never been weak, was kneeling on the ground like a child at this moment. He put his face on the woman’s legs with a satisfied smile on his face.
He could really see her. And virtual-novel.net could really touch her.
At this time, Caspian didn’t want to know why no one could see virtual-novel.net except his mother. He just wanted to feel the long-lost tenderness. As if virtual-novel.net knew Caspian’s mood at the moment, the woman gently stroked Caspian’s long hair. The look in virtual-novel.net eyes was no different from when virtual-novel.net looked at the child.
They were all virtual-novel.net children. However, one of them crossed the long river of time and came here from the future.
“Mother…” After a long time, Caspian let out a soft sound in his throat and sniffed.
“You must have had a hard time all these years,” The woman sighed.
Caspian stopped breathing. He raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him, who was not older than virtual-novel.net at this time. He wanted to ask the other party where virtual-novel.net was and why virtual-novel.net left him. But after a long time, Caspian said nothing and just shook his head.
“It must be very hard. I know everything, so I left those things for you,” The woman looked at Caspian. “There are some things that I can’t tell you in detail now. When we meet again in the future, I will tell you everything. I hope you won’t blame me…”
“Mother…” Caspian smiled.
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Caspian smiled happily. “I have never blamed you…”
The woman reached out and held Caspian’s face. Then virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head and pressed it against Caspian’s forehead.
“There are some things that I must do. I just let you suffer. I am really happy that you can come here this time.”
“Huh?” Caspian sniffed. “But isn’t this my memory?”
“Just take this as your memory,” The woman smiled. “I don’t have much time, so Caspian, be good. Let me tell you something first, okay?”
“Okay…” Caspian nodded.
