The senior monk sat under the eaves, looking at the clear sky diagonally above, and said, "Last night, I observed the stars and discovered that the Imperial Star was moving unusually."

Xiao Qingyin's heart tightened.

"What's going on?"

The senior monk replied, "The light of the Imperial Star is a bit dim, and there is another star faintly visible behind it."

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

Doesn't this foreshadow that something bad is going to happen to Yi Shuihan?

She thought it would be her who had an accident.

She quickly asked, "Can it be resolved?"

The senior monk said calmly, "You don't want to resolve this."

How is that possible!

This is a fatal calamity for Yi Shuihan; how could she not want to resolve it?

"Master, what time is it? Stop keeping me in suspense and show me your skills. After it's done, I guarantee that all the Buddha statues in Lingyun Temple will be gilded."

The senior monk shook his head: "It depends on you. Your fate is already intertwined with that of the Emperor Star; wherever you are, he will be there too."

Xiao Qingyin: "???"

Could it be that after her accident, Yi Shuihan couldn't bear to live alone and had her buried with him?

This is outrageous.

When Yi Shuihan returned from the palace for lunch, she placed a piece of food on his plate and said casually, "If, I mean if, one day I'm gone, will you live a good life or...?"

Yi Shuihan stared at her intently for a moment.

"You want to go back to your past life?"

Xiao Qingyin quickly shook her head: "No, no, what I meant by 'not here' was not that. I meant something like 'I've lost my life'."

Yi Shuihan said with a straight face, "To me, there is no difference between the two."

Xiao Qingyin asked cautiously, "So what's your answer?"

Yi Shuihan didn't look at her. He ate the food she had picked for him before slowly saying, "I won't let any possibility come true."

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

You asked for nothing.

Seeing Yi Shuihan's attitude, she couldn't help but suspect that if something really happened to her one day, he would definitely go mad.

Deep affection is short-lived.

She thought for a moment and smiled, "If that day ever comes, you must live well, okay? Otherwise, if I travel back in time and you're gone or have gone mad, I'll have to live with someone else."

Yi Shuihan put down his chopsticks.

"Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think."

Yeah?

Xiao Qingyin was a little suspicious.

This person may not realize how stubborn they are at heart.

However, the topic was too heavy for her to continue, so she changed the subject.

"Ji Yunhua is preparing to leave for Beijin to expand her business. I will go to the Jian'an Marquis's residence to see her this afternoon."

Yi Shuihan grunted in acknowledgment and told someone to clear away the dishes.

"Let's go back to our rooms and rest first."

Xiao Qingyin assumed that he meant "rest" literally, since he hadn't slept all night and must be tired.

When I got back to the dorm, this person gave me a severe dressing-down.

"You swore you wouldn't leave me."

He said in a hoarse voice.

The movements were much stronger than usual.

Xiao Qingyin knew he was venting his inner pent-up emotions, so she didn't say anything, but simply hugged him.

After a long while, his emotions calmed down, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Qingyin was very tired and fell asleep as well.

Unexpectedly, upon closing my eyes, I returned to my past life.

This time it was at Song Yunqian's engagement party.

Song Yunqian had been in the same class as her since kindergarten, and they always competed with each other. If it weren't for her fear of bloody scenes, she would have followed her to study medicine in college.

Watching Song Yunqian standing under the crystal chandelier, surrounded by flowers, receiving her fiancé's ring, she was filled with emotion.

After fighting for so many years, Song Yunqian has finally won a round.

She lived longer than her and found a perfect fiancé.

Just then, a familiar voice rang in her ears: "Is this your original world?"

She was startled.

He quickly turned around.

Yi Shuihan's handsome face came into view.

Why did you follow me here?

"I don't know either," Yi Shuihan replied. "Maybe it's because we were sleeping next to each other."

Xiao Qingyin thought about it for a moment and accepted this explanation.

The next moment, she understood the meaning behind the monk's words.

He meant that Yi Shuihan could go back to her past life with her!

This is why the imperial star is dim!

She was incredibly excited and told Yi Shuihan about meeting the great monk.

Yi Shuihan, however, did not show any sign of happiness.

Instead, his face darkened.

"That's why you asked that question?"

Xiao Qingyin immediately felt guilty.

“I didn’t know what he was talking about before, but I wanted to give you a heads-up just in case.”

Yi Shuihan glanced at her, then turned her head away to continue watching the engaged couple on the stage.

Song Yunqian and her fiancé have exchanged rings, and their parents went on stage to share their thoughts.

Then came the start of the banquet and the toasting.

Xiao Qingyin pointed to the table of guests next to the main table and said, "My eldest brother and sister-in-law and third brother are sitting over there. My second brother is not here."

Yi Shuihan recognized the people and asked, "What about the two who were engaged?"

“The Song family and my family have been friends for generations. Song Yunqian and I were classmates for many years, but we didn’t get along very well. Her fiancé is from the Liang family, which has risen to prominence in recent years. I’ve never had any dealings with them, so I don’t know much about them.”

Yi Shuihan observed the banquet hall. It was clearly night outside, but the hall was brightly lit, as bright as day.

Men and women dress very differently.

The men wore long sleeves and trousers, covering themselves up tightly, while the women were bare-chested and backless, showing off their curves.
