Chapter 347: Chapter 345 Beyond the Water, There are Still Mountains - 1

After Su Wanxia and Na Wa spoke at the same time, they looked at each other simultaneously.

Su Wanxia spread her hands towards her, Na Wa pursed her lips, huffed, and then turned her head away.

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but laugh silently. This little girl really had quite the temper, almost as strong as hers when she was that age.

"Let’s go, today we’ll go see the cherry blossoms. If we don’t look now, they’ll be gone..." Mu Yingchen took Su Wanxia’s hand, gently leading her forward.

Su Wanxia hadn’t expected him to have such a romantic side and was immediately surprised. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Alright, let’s go."

With a hook of his lip, Mu Yingchen led her towards the main gate. Na Ersi watched the couple’s jaunty departure and couldn’t help but glance at Na Wa, who was still acting pettishly beside him.

"Wawa, let’s go see them too. If we don’t, we’ll have to wait until next year..."

Upon hearing this, Na Wa replied with a reluctant hum, but she nodded slightly. In truth, she had long wanted to go see them.

Arriving at Sakura Forest, the green grass was covered with a full layer of cherry blossom petals, stirring up a sense of compassion and awe at the same time.

"Even though they’ve fallen, they’re still beautiful..." Su Wanxia said, admiring the thick layer of petals on the ground.

She almost couldn’t bring herself to step on them...

"Yes, they’ll bloom again next year..." Mu Yingchen said softly, his eyes tender as he watched her.

"Next year?" Su Wanxia echoed wistfully.

What would they be like at this time next year?

"If you like, we can come back here next year..." Mu Yingchen, without realizing it, spoke the thoughts in his heart.

After hearing his words, Su Wanxia looked at him with a touch of suspicion. Come back here next year?

She frowned slightly. "Why is it ’come back here’ instead of ’come here to see’ next year?"

She knew that ’come back here’ and ’come here,’ although only one word apart, carried different meanings.

’Come back here’ implied they would leave the Na Family Village. If they wanted to see the cherry blossoms again, they would have to return to the village and then come here.

But ’come here,’ meant that they would still be staying in the Na Family Village, and come here to see the blossoms when they bloom.

Her suspicion was why Mu Yingchen was so certain that they wouldn’t be here next year?

Wasn’t he only remembering bits and pieces now? How could he know where to return to?

"Have you remembered where our home is?" she asked, staring into Mu Yingchen’s eyes.

Mu Yingchen’s heart skipped a beat. He had realized his slip of the tongue the moment those words had escaped his lips, and she had caught the discrepancy.

"Heh, no, I was just thinking, now that I’ve started to remember things, perhaps it won’t be long before I recall everything, and then we can go home together."

Su Wanxia, seeing his calm and natural expression, nodded with some skepticism, "Oh..."

Indeed, if he remembered, he had no reason to deceive her. She was being overly suspicious.

"Brother Achen, if you remember, where will you go back to?" Na Wa asked Mu Yingchen with curiosity.

She really wanted to know what the outside world was like. She had grown up here, the land here had been her playground since she was little. So, she was very curious about the outside world and wanted to see it for herself. However, her parents did not agree...

They say the people of the Na Family village can only live within the Na Family village--

Mu Yingchen looked at her extremely curious expression, smiled faintly, and gently shook his head, "I don’t know either, you can ask your sister Wanxia, she definitely knows."

Na Wa had been looking at Mu Yingchen with hope, but upon hearing his words, she immediately felt disappointed, pouting her lips.

Su Wanxia looked at her pitiful expression and started to feel a pang of sympathy. She had lived here all her life, she must have longed for the outside world.

"The outside world is vast and boundless···"

Upon hearing Su Wanxia start talking about the outside, Na Wa’s face lit up with surprise.

"But···" Su Wanxia paused.

Na Wa looked on expectantly, "But what?"

"But life here is happier than outside···"

Because of its simplicity, because of its purity.

Na Wa’s hopeful expression suddenly fell flat, "What a letdown! I thought you were going to mention some exciting things. All we have here are mountains and water, and more mountains after the water!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the three people with Su Wanxia simultaneously burst into laughter, even Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking his shoulders.

"What’s so funny? Am I wrong?" Na Wa said, clearly dissatisfied.

Su Wanxia composed herself from the laughter and looked earnestly at her, "That’s what’s good about it, the lush mountains and clear waters, the birds and the flowers, untouched nature, purely natural, these are things you can’t even dream of outside."

"What’s so good about that···" Na Wa murmured under her breath.

Su Wanxia laughed helplessly; the young girl still harbored a longing for the outside world in her heart.

Being so innocent, the outside world wasn’t suitable for her, and by the time she truly fit in, she would no longer be the naïve and happy girl she was now.

"The outside world isn’t as good as you think it is. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Na Ersi. Didn’t he spend some time outside?" Su Wanxia said gravely, truly hoping that Na Wa would always maintain her current innocence and happiness.

Na Wa, upon hearing what Su Wanxia said, suddenly looked at Na Ersi with surprise, "Na Ersi, when did you go outside, and why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you take me with you when you went out?"

Hearing Na Wa’s words, Su Wanxia immediately felt embarrassed and covered her mouth—ugh... she hadn’t realized that Na Ersi had hidden his departure from Na Wa, hehehe···

Na Ersi had been worried about Su Wanxia inadvertently bringing him into the conversation while they discussed this topic.

Just as he had that thought, Su Wanxia had already let slip the fact that he had been out, which left him feeling overwhelmed.

Facing Na Wa’s angry questions, he could only respond with a gentle smile, "Wawa, I haven’t gone out, I just went up to the mountain gate to get some things and then returned."

"I don’t believe you. She said you’ve been out, and you’re still lying to me. You said before that when you go out, you would take me with you, and yet you went and came back without me even knowing···" Na Wa became increasingly aggrieved as she spoke.

Ever since she was a child, aside from her parents, Na Ersi had been the kindest to her. She always treated him like an older brother, trusting and relying on him; she never thought he would one day deceive her.

Her heart was now truly shattered by Na Ersi!

Seeing the young girl’s upset, Na Ersi immediately sensed trouble! He quickly stepped forward to comfort her, and in the course of consoling her, somehow ended up with her in his arms···

Watching this scene unfold, Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen shared a knowing smile···
