She still remembered the scene she saw after waking up in the Ice Palace.
The two people seemed to have become two human-shaped "black holes", and all light - including gazes - were absorbed by the outline.
in the end……
What happened to them while we were frozen?
On the second floor, Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing saw Ethan off.
Ethan had a lot to say to her, but the old man was very perceptive. He could see that Hitzfeld had begun to get out of the shadow of the Crown case, but because of something, she was still not in a very good mood.
"I'm glad to see you're okay," he said.
"I want you to remember that you have people like me and Mapes to support you no matter what."
"Your brilliance is already bright enough."
"Don't think too much about unnecessary things."
Finally, after making an appointment with the girl to hold a party on Iris Street after returning, he just ran away.
Otherwise he was afraid that his boss would beat him up.
“These guys…”
Xia Yibing gritted her teeth as she watched his absent-minded back.
Even though you clearly don't understand anything, you try your best to pretend that you know everything in order to comfort others.
The same thing goes for those quack doctors in the bureau! They are also self-righteous and think that the patient is depressed for some reason!
Do they think that saying this will make the other person feel better?
The best way to deal with it is to not mention anything! Use other topics to divert attention!
I really can't stand it...
It seems that he needs to be given more tasks.
"Ethan means well, too."
Hitzfeld smiled, took another piece of meat from the oven and fed it to Lily.
"Woo!"
Lily took a bite and got burned, causing the meat to fall to the ground. Then she started jumping around the piece of meat, unable to finish it and screaming in anxiety.
"...You always think about others."
Xia Yibing turned her head and looked over, her expression somewhat complicated.
She looked toward the cabin.
A girl in a black dress sitting by the fire.
A big white dog lying in front of her eating meat.
A kettle hummed and steamed on the copper stove next to it.
On the shelf above his head, there was a blood crystal crow taking a nap with its eyes closed.
The picture looks peaceful.
It was as if all the adventures were an illusion and they were really just here for vacation.
As she watched, Xia Yibing clenched her fists tightly.
"what happened?"
Hitzfeld immediately sensed the change in her mood.
There's no way, the two of them are now too closely connected.
Although the close communication is not to the extent of being able to read each other's minds, they can feel each other's general emotional fluctuations, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.
"Sintara has also been found."
"The others also had a happy ending."
“We’ve almost achieved our goal.”
"Even the plan to have a child..."
"Shouldn't you be happy?"
"I am not happy!"
The woman interrupted her harshly, walked over to her and sat down hard.
Every time...
Every time...
Closing her eyes and sighing, Xia Yibing once again recalled the period after the Wang Guan case ended.
Everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and got the best outcome they had expected.
But what's the cost?
Who borne that price?
Why does she always have to think about others? Why is it that this is her chance, she can be more selfish...
"Do you think you're a burden?"
Hitzfeld looked at her calmly.
"Is it because I gave you the 'authority' that I didn't become a god directly?"
"I--"
Xia Yibing wanted to say yes.
That's what she thought.
But she also knew that the girl would definitely not like to hear these words.
And she was right, wasn't she?
Such a good opportunity.
Laurel's gift, the mother tree's misunderstanding, and the help of God's Eye!
How many coincidences must come together to get such an opportunity? She was sure that such an opportunity would never come again!
But it's because of me.
Just because you want to take me into consideration.
How can I be happy...
"That's not the case."
Hitzfeld looked at her seriously.
Xia Yibing didn't dare to look up at her, so she turned back to stare at the fire and said, "For a while, I didn't understand what my mother did."
"I don't understand why she would give me such a question and ask me to choose. It seems like she is trying to make things difficult for me."
"But now I understand."
"Gaining strength is not that important compared to holding on to your inner feelings."
"It was because of this philosophy that she was able to successfully save me and leave such a memory in the ice lake."
"Then how can I accuse this choice of being wrong?"
"She was clearly teaching me - and at the very end she even told me some difficult truths."
"I am quite sure and certain that I want to understand it this way."
"I can't possibly give up on you."
"Even though I don't know whether this kind of giving up will hurt you."
"..."
Xia Yibing turned her head and stared at the girl for a long time in silence.
Just as Ethan felt that she had changed, she also felt that Hitzfeld had become a little different from before.
The delicate feeling faded, and the strength that was originally hidden under the delicateness emerged and became her outward trait.
Now it's not just the decision-making, even the words are so harsh...
"I have nothing to say..."
That's all she could say.
"After all, I was saved by you... Of course... I can only say that I will always be by your side..."
"That's right, I think I've said this too many times... If you don't mind--"
"I don't mind."
Her words were cut short as she felt a warm and soft body hugging her.
"Although everything started from a misunderstanding, I still remember your efforts..."
"Thank you for tolerating my occasional willfulness..."
"Thank you for being so unreserved..."
"Fall in love with me."
An irresistible impulse mixed with great emotion surged in Xia Yibing's heart. She turned around and hugged the girl, hugging her tightly.
It is in this situation of mutual heart-to-heart communication, in a state where they can sense each other's emotions, that they thoroughly and unreservedly show their affection to each other. In front of it, there is no secret worth mentioning, they don't need to guess or think, and there is only each other in their eyes.
Perhaps these precious things will disappear with the passage of time. Like the stories of Mansoura-Laurel-Vera-Hitzfeld or Coldis, they will be buried in the ice and snow. But some people believe that as long as civilization lasts, as long as love in the heart lasts, they will always be preserved in the depths of the ice lake.
The emotion revealed is gorgeous Aurora.
The heart that preserves the Aurora is the ice lake that will last forever.
Unit Summary
I finally finished writing the Ice Lake chapter, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Modern online literature emphasizes a fast pace, but at the same time, it is more about avoiding suspicion.
What does this mean? ... It means that as a public figure, or anyone who makes money by selling materials, you should not always focus on your own needs, but should consider the opinions of the audience, readers, and buyers.
You must not do anything that the audience, readers, and buyers don’t like. This is how you avoid suspicion.
Like some products before, if you eat food from a certain place, but you don’t respect the local culture and you make trouble, you will be criticized, and you really deserve it.
The same is true for online writing. It might be a pity if I don't write certain things, but as long as I don't write them, some of the readers who are resistant to these topics may stay and read my books, so my books will have a wider audience.
All industries that make money by selling goods in this way are pursuing a balance in this regard, thinking about how to please those viewers, readers, and buyers who "might have otherwise left." This is absolutely wise and cannot be said to be wrong.
Therefore, many online articles nowadays, such as those about upgrading and practicing martial arts, do not write about love at all.
I may not be able to write well, or if someone criticizes me after I write it, then I won’t write.
Earlier, there were those who avoided confronting family relationships directly. For example, if I wasn’t sure I could portray a very important supporting character like parents well in the story, then I simply wouldn’t write about it.
If I don't write it, I won't make mistakes, I won't be scolded, and no one will abandon the book because of it - so why should I insist on challenging the difficulty?
This is why so many of the protagonists in online novels are orphans. The authors are too lazy to write and the readers are too lazy to read, so in the end it turns out like this.
I'm not dissing you - I actually thought so at the beginning. I wasn't sure I could write such an important "soul character" well, so although I had some ideas about Shadow Poison Needle and Ice Lake in the initial outline, I didn't plan to write too much about them. I just wanted to skip them and focus more on the plot and adventure.
But the style of the detective collection was beyond my expectations. I don’t know how I managed to write the whole book in this style. When I wrote about the Shadow Poison Needle, I found that if I didn’t tell the story of Coldis clearly and thoroughly, many impressions would not stand out at all, and many reasons would not make sense.
We have come this far, wouldn’t it be a shame if we couldn’t achieve perfection?
So I put a lot of extra effort into the "parents" plot. Not only did I want to make the character of Hitzfeld look more complete and vivid, I also wanted to show what kind of people Coldis and Laurel are.
Those who have read my previous books should know that I have never been involved in this field before... At best, I portrayed a cold-blooded and iron-blooded emperor father in Jade. Then, according to the above statement, I was doing something extremely risky.
If it is well written, it will continue the consistent style of the work, and the results will not increase significantly.
But if the writing fails, the results and reputation will definitely be ruined...
I can’t boast how well it’s written, but it’s probably not broken. This hanging rock has finally landed smoothly, and the detective series has passed the biggest hurdle, so of course I can breathe a sigh of relief~
Let’s talk about some details and conceptual principles of the Ice Lake chapter.
