NIRVANA SHACKLES
NONSENSICALITY

“Hey, what do you mean?” Huang Chao cut Wuxian's words quickly. “Then, you? Have you ever had that kind of dream?” askalanya.

“Entah you are plain-minded or plain-minded. You yourself are a man. You know how men think when they see beautiful girls in front of you,” a Wuxian lookout, looking at Huang Chao with a mischievous look.

“I never run out of such girls. In my house there used to be a lot of servants who served me, to prepare my bath. But I'm not interested in them at all. Nothing interesting from women,” said Huang Chao to defend himself. He is not happy if he is wronged, especially about the things he thinks he is doing.

“Wait... Are you really normal? No way, you don't like women either? You don't like men, nor do you like women. What do you like in this world?” Wuxian did not stop being curious about Huang Chao.

“I like myself... also like you.” Huang Chao reflex's words left Wuxian stunned, involuntarily dropping the clothes he was drying with a dumbfounded facial expression. “As my brother,” continued Huang Chao. As Huang Chao continued his words, Wuxian was able to sigh peacefully.

“Not normal. You are selfish to others, but you care deeply about those around you. You are the type of person who does not care about other people's problems, but prefers to give the world to those closest to you. I thought... You're that kind of person,” guess Wuxian.

“Maybe. I don't understand myself very much. I do not need to bother understanding myself, because there will be others who judge it,” said Huang Chao.

“But sometimes we understand ourselves in order to understand others,” Wuxian replies.

“I don't need to understand anyone else, other than you,” Huang Chao said.

“Already. Now I get it. You've been obsessed with me. Forget all that and let's go to sleep,” said Wuxian. After a few seconds, he realized the last sentence that was spoken. “I mean, we sleep each,” he continued.

“I know, I know. You don't have to explain what you said. Hey, I'm a normal guy!” cetus Huang Chao's. Huang Chao began to think that Wuxian had looked at him in a different way.

“Yes, yes, yes. I believe you're a normal guy,” he said disparagingly.

After Wuxian and Huang Chao dried his clothes, they decided to take a break. That night, they fell asleep until they realized that the bonfire they lit had been extinguished.

The next morning, the two of them got up and came out of the cave. The view of snow outside is getting thickened because of the falling snow stubs all night.

“Wuxian, are you sure you don't want to play around with snow for a while?” bargained for.

Wuxian cravings for a moment, then speak up, “Good idea. Why not?” abugn.

Without warning, Huang Chao threw snowballs at Wuxian, hitting him in the face. Wuxian who was thrown snowballs by Huang Chao did not want to stand idly by receiving an attack from him. He retaliated against Huang Chao by throwing snowballs.

They fought each other with snowballs. They ran and laughed, letting go of any problems that had weighed on their minds all along. Just once, for the last time they really want to be happy and live a normal life like other children in general.

“I'm tired. Wuxian, stop throwing me those damn balls,” Huang Chao said as he laid his body in the snow.

Wuxian stopped pelting Huang Chao with snowballs, because Huang Chao had stopped throwing them. Wuxian had thought of quitting earlier, as he was very tired. However, Huang Chao continuously threw him with a snowball.

“Sister Chao, when was the last time you played snow?” ask Wuxian.

“Hmmm... Maybe when I was 5 years old. After I was 6 years old, I was never allowed to play games again, because both my parents demanded me to learn a lot every day. You you? When was the last time you played snow?” huang Chao asked back.

“Maybe this time,” replied Wuxian.

“Eh?” Huang Chao.

“True. This is my first time playing snow and snowballing. You know for yourself, in my birthplace, there was never such a thing as snowfall. It was my first time seeing snow, touching it, and playing with it. It turned out to be so much fun. It would be nice if we could continue playing around like this. Maybe this is my first time. Unfortunately, this is also the last time we play around like this. We have our own goals to achieve. Once we become one of the sects and wander the Jianghu world, our lives may always be serious. No time to play around like today.” Wuxian voiced his heart.

“You're right. That's why we have to make our last memories happier. When will we be this happy again? Wuxian, what was your initial goal of being strong... remains the same?” ask, looking to the side. Huang Chao looked at Wuxian's face lying beside him.

Wuxian remained staring at the ceiling, then answered the question from Huang Chao. “Entahlah...might be the same, but maybe my main destination will be different,” he replied.

***

“Wu Xian, did you see the peak there?” Huang Chao pointed at the towering peak and was covered in ice.

Wuxian looked in the direction that Huang Chao had pointed. He saw nothing, other than the increasingly heavy snow and the dark sky at the peak pointed out by Huang Chao.

“Didn't you see it?” huang Chao asked as he looked at Wuxian by raising his eyebrows.

“I didn't see anything,” replied Wuxian as is.

Huang Chao was silent for a moment as he sighed when he heard Wuxian's reply.

Huang Chao spoke up again, “I also. I saw nothing either, but I was very sure that the location of the largest sect in the Northern area was there. Qing Long Sect is called,” Huang Chao said.

“Secte Qing Long?” Wuxian wondered.

“Ya, right. Great sky dragon,” said Huang Chao.

“A very good name. I've been feeling positive energy since we were around here,” Wuxian said. “Very high. How can we climb a cliff that high?” Finally Wuxian asked the question that Huang Chao had been waiting for.

“This question, I must give one thing first about the history of the Qing Long sect. Are you ready to hear it?” tanyakanya.
