The winter night in the countryside was quiet and silent. A bright moon hung in the inky sky. Moonlight poured in from the window, casting a soft light on the originally small but neat and simple room.
But there was a particularly mischievous trace of light falling on the face of a girl with a beautiful face who was sleeping uneasily on the bed, as if she was having some terrible nightmare.
Under the moonlight, one could clearly see beads of sweat covering her forehead. Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed together. Her lips, as delicate as flower petals, opened and closed, and she murmured incoherently with a few intermittent sobs:
"No, ah... wu... if... there is... an afterlife... I never... want... to... love... again..."
Suddenly, the person on the bed opened those extremely charming eyes, but at that moment, thousands of complex emotions burst out, mixed with strong hatred and murderous intent.
The haziness in her eyes gradually dissipated. Rong Qing glanced at the environment and reached out to pat her head which was a little dull and dizzy. Before she had time to think, the door creaked open from the outside.
I saw an old lady standing at the door!
In her left hand she held a bowl still emitting curls of steam, and in her right she held a kerosene lamp. She wore a navy blue dress, patched but otherwise very neat and tidy. Her white hair was neatly combed even at night, and she wore a kind smile on her face...
Under the light, the wrinkles on his face left by the years seem so particularly kind.
In an instant, Rong Qing's tears burst out, and there was deep longing in her eyes, and even more regret and remorse. Her lips trembled for a long time but no sound came out. The two words in her throat were stuck.
Grandma Rong, who was standing at the door, saw the little girl she was holding in her arms crying. She immediately stepped forward, put down the things in her hands, sat on the bed, and hugged her in her arms. With her old, rough but warm hands, she gently patted her back as if coaxing a child, her voice was particularly gentle and caring:
"Hey, my dear grandma, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Is this a nightmare?
"But please don't cry, you little pearls are falling, and grandma's heart is almost broken by your crying. Quick, stop crying, you have just caught a cold and it will hurt your body if you cry any more!"
Grandma's words came to his ears. Somehow, at this moment, Rong Qing's heart, which had been hurt so many times in his previous life and as cold as a pond, was injected with a stream of warmth. His nose suddenly felt sore and tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably like a broken dam.
It seems like he wants to vent his endless grievances in front of the person he loves most and can rely on the most.
I simply buried my head in my grandma's arms!
The past flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern? Oh no, to be more precise, it was the life before that. I had thought that after experiencing the prosperity and glory of the past life, everything before that should have been forgotten long ago.
At this moment, she was reborn again and realized that forgetting does not mean complete healing. The wounds caused by love in the previous life have penetrated deep into her soul and cannot be healed or truly let go.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her cheek, and Rong Qing subconsciously felt it. It turned out to be her grandmother's hand wiping her tears.
"Look at you! You're really crying like a kitten now. Little Mi will laugh at you when she comes in soon. My dear baby will get married in a month, and you're still crying. It's really embarrassing!"
She didn’t feel embarrassed at first, but after hearing what her grandma said, Rong Qing’s pretty face turned red for no reason, and she felt a little embarrassed.
But his mouth was still hard, his voice was a little hoarse, but the words he spoke were still so soft and sticky:
"Hmph, hmph, I'll always be a child in front of grandma. Besides, I don't want to get married. What's the point of getting married? I want to stay with grandma forever..."
Yes! I want to stay with grandma forever!
This was her true feelings. Of course, only in front of her grandmother could she be her true self and reveal the cuteness and playfulness that belonged to a girl of her age.
In fact, after experiencing the previous two lives, her heart, which was hurt beyond repair, cold and lonely, had long been frozen by her, and irrelevant people could no longer move her emotions in the slightest.
Grandma Rong reached out and scratched her small nose, then said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? What girl doesn't want to get married? Besides, if you marry to Kyoto, you won't have to stay in the mountains with an old woman like me!
You said you've been so stubborn for five years, and you came back to Kyoto after only three years because your father remarried?"
Grandma Rong seemed a little sad when she said this. Of course, she felt more distressed about her granddaughter who was sent to her for adoption at the age of two. She sighed softly:
"How could grandma be willing to do that?
But grandma is old and can hardly take care of herself. She always has to make arrangements for her beloved grandson before she closes her eyes!
When your grandfather and I were young, we grew up together as childhood friends with Lao Jiangtou. He is a very upright person and is very principled in doing things.
Furthermore, their family rules that have been passed down for thousands of years are very strict. I believe that if you marry into their family, their grandchildren will definitely treat you well.
Finally, Old Jiang is here. My dear grandson, if you can’t bear the grievances, I will prepare a sufficient dowry for you. I have the confidence. Although I am in this small village, your uncles and aunts are still quite capable..."
At this moment, Rong Qing saw the 1980s version of the prequel to Versailles in her dear grandmother. Her uncles, aunts and grandparents all had some little abilities. Was that true?
