Chapter 1124: Devoted Love Always Goes Awry (2)
When Xiao Xu held his fingers at that moment, he felt as if the whole world had suddenly become exceptionally gentle and warm. He almost used all his strength to hold that still young hand tightly, never wanting to let go until death.
But ultimately, he still let go of his hand.
Suddenly, Shui Jingmo recalled when he returned to Shuiqi Island, and Xiao Xu secretly ran to Shuiqi Island to meet him privately. Once, he told Xiao Xu he really missed the heavy snow on Ningxi Island, but unfortunately, it never snows on Shuiqi Island.
At that time, Xiao Xu surprisingly seriously told him that when he died, he would turn into snowflakes, letting the whole world transform into the color of their first encounter.

He didn’t take it to heart then and simply told Xiao Xu that if that were the case, it would be better for Shuiqi Island to never see snow.
Xiao Xu, upon hearing his words, laughed with unusual joy.
That joyful smile is still imprinted in his mind.
Today, Shuiqi Island, which has never seen snow, suddenly experienced a heavy snowfall that hasn’t stopped yet.
And today, he met with Xiao Xu.
No, it can’t be, it can’t be like this...
Shui Jingmo suddenly seemed to lose control. He frantically pushed away Feng Peining, who was holding onto his arm, and staggered out. He was still incoherently muttering of his control, "It can’t be, it can’t be..."
Since Feng Peining had no defense against Shui Jingmo, he pushed her so forcefully that she fell to the ground without any defense, anxiously staring at the departing back of Shui Jingmo.
By instinct, she got up and chased outside, but after a few steps, she stopped in a daze, her whole body stiff and cold.
She stood at the doorway with her back to Han Jing and Xiaoqi, while the courtyard outside was covered in swirling snow.
Han Jing gazed at Feng Peining’s especially isolated figure with a sigh in his heart, lamenting that deep emotions were misplaced.
It was the same for Ning Xu, as it was for Feng Peining.
Xiaoqi had been watching Shui Jingmo intently, so she understood exactly what he was thinking. She leaned over to Han Jing’s ear and told him everything she saw in a voice only the two of them could hear.
This was enough to prove that Shui Jingmo truly loved Ning Xu, but now Ning Xu was already dead, and as for Feng Peining...
Han Jing nodded to Xiaoqi and then whispered a few words in Xiaoqi’s ear.
Now, there’s no need to keep the truth from Feng Peining. It only harms her. It’s better to tell her the truth and let her choose for herself.
However, of course, Han Jing specifically urged Xiaoqi not to mention how Ning Xu died, only to say he took his own life.
"Little aunt, I have something to tell you," Xiaoqi called to Feng Peining.
Feng Peining was still staring at the snow outside the courtyard in a daze, with a nameless aching sensation in her eyes.
Upon hearing Xiaoqi call her, she returned to reality and turned to Xiaoqi and Han Jing with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, I’ve embarrassed you."
"Little aunt, Sister Jing and I met someone when we came," said Xiaoqi.
But Feng Peining interrupted her, somewhat flustered: "Xiaoqi, please don’t say it, don’t, don’t say..."
Feng Peining’s heart was filled with a very bad premonition. Today’s abnormal behavior of Shui Jingmo was like a thorn that stabbed cruelly at her heart, forcing her to confront the reality she had always avoided facing unwillingly...
