Yi Shuihan's heart skipped a beat.

Could this string of beads have been given to her by her old flame?

"Didn't you always think I didn't look like a pampered young lady raised in seclusion, and that I was a spy?"

Xiao Qingyin smiled.

“I am indeed not that young lady of the Xiao family, or more precisely, this body is hers, but the soul is mine.”

Yi Shuihan was startled.

He stared at Xiao Qingyin in astonishment: "Are you the ghost possessing her?"

“You can’t call it a ghost,” Xiao Qingyin replied. “I have no memory of being a ghost. After I died, the first thing I did when I opened my eyes was become her.”

"You've died once?"

"Yes, I originally lived in another time and space. You can understand time and space as the small world in Buddhism, which includes the sun, moon, stars, rivers, lakes, seas, birds, beasts, insects, fish, humans, and all kinds of plants."

Xiao Qingyin continued.

"The progress of humanities and technology in our time is faster than in your time. In our country, most countries do not have emperors, everyone is equal under the law, and both men and women can go to school and become officials."

"There are many means of transportation: flying in the sky, walking on the ground, and swimming in the water. As long as you have enough money, you can fly to the moon and Mars without any problem."

"We have a globally interconnected network where we can know what's happening in the world and learn any knowledge without leaving home..."

...

Yi Shuihan felt as if she were describing a world of immortals.

She really was a fairy.

Yi Shuihan thought to himself.

No wonder she was so learned and talented, with a personality so different from that of the women of Da Xi.

He had imagined her country many times before, but even with his wildest imagination, he could never have imagined that she came from a world of gods.

She is a true fairy.

But he was not some Yama, the King of Hell, but just an ordinary mortal.

Since ancient times, immortals and mortals have been separated. Can they really be together?

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Xiao Qingyin say, "That string of beads, which we call celestial beads, was given to me by my elder brother. After I transmigrated here, I found that the original owner of this body also had one. I suspect that it might be that string of beads that brought me here, so I want to collect them all. Maybe that way I can go back."

Yi Shuihan's heart tightened.

He swallowed hard and asked, "So, you never considered staying, was that right?"

Xiao Qingyin paused for a moment.

That's why she reminded Yi Shuihan not to be sad after hearing it.

Even though the truth would hurt, she still didn't want to deceive him.

"If I could go back, I would naturally want to go back."

She replied.

"After all, I lived in my original world for more than 20 years, and my relatives and friends are all there. I also prefer life there."

Yi Shuihan smiled bitterly.

Yes, such a beautiful world, who wouldn't want to go back?

This place is so backward and feudal, everyone has to kneel before the emperor, it's neither unequal nor free, why would she stay here?

For him?

But she had already said that she only had a little bit of affection for him.

The reason why the Cowherd was able to keep the Weaver Girl was because he secretly hid her fairy clothes, making it impossible for her to leave and forcing her to stay.

Unless he is as despicable as the Cowherd and hides the dzi bead, what reason does he have to keep her?

Based on his love?

She doesn't care at all.

In her original world, there are probably plenty of handsome men waiting for her to return.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "How old were you originally?"

Xiao Qingyin replied, "Twenty-seven."

Yi Shuihan: "!!!"

She's actually seven years older than him!

His heart began to sink little by little.

"So, are you married?"

"No."

Yi Shuihan asked in surprise, "How come you're so old and still not married?"

Xiao Qingyin: "!!!"

“What do you mean, ‘so old’!” she glared at him. “Where people are from, they’re already twenty-two or twenty-three after graduating from university. They usually work for a few years before considering marriage, and there are plenty of people who are twenty-seven and still unmarried.”

She studied clinical medicine in college, which is an eight-year program. If she hadn't been admitted to college at the age of sixteen, she would have been twenty-seven when she graduated.

"I'm sorry, I offended you."

Yi Shuihan said embarrassedly.

It's an unimaginable world.

In Da Xi, girls could get married at the age of fifteen, and by the time they were twenty-seven, they would have children who were ten years old, and it wouldn't be long before they became grandmothers.

In her world, she was already in her twenties when she finally finished her studies.

Do you have a fiancé?

He asked cautiously.

Xiao Qingyin saw through his thoughts at a glance and smiled, "No."

Yi Shuihan felt somewhat relieved.

But then I realized that she was an unconventional and unrestrained person. Just because she wasn't married or had a fiancé didn't mean she didn't have men.

Then he asked again, "And what about your lover?"

Xiao Qingyin laughed loudly.

"Why do you always make yourself miserable?" she said with a smile. "If I told you, I have a dozen lovers."

Yi Shuihan: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Are they as good-looking as me?"

“No,” Xiao Qingyin said without hesitation. “If they were as bad as you, I wouldn’t have been so stunned when I first saw you.”

Yi Shuihan: I wasn't comforted... yeah right!

He only had her as his lover, while she had a dozen. No wonder he gave her his whole heart, but she could only give him a tiny bit of affection.

If you break a heart into twelve parts, no, thirteen parts, each part will only be a tiny bit.

At that moment, a dark thought couldn't help but arise in his mind.
