Their relationship was silently intertwined, as if by some unseen force.
Su Yuxi parted her red lips, a strange light flashing deep in her eyes: "It's you?"
She vaguely remembered this incident; it almost scared her to death. She was taking a bath when suddenly a stream of blood appeared on the surface of the river, and a small head floated up from underwater, exposing her completely.
Later, I bit him, right? I mainly wanted to leave a mark on him so I could beat him up again the next time I saw him.
She never met him again, and gradually forgot about it. The traces of the mark she had left behind also faded away with the passage of time.
In retrospect, their meeting was quite interesting. She bit the man, and when he grew up, he bit her back.
"And then what happened...?" Su Yuxi was quite interested. She didn't mind having contact with this man about what had happened between them.
Fu Huaijin sat up straight and told her, without reservation, the story of how they met, got to know each other, and fell in love, adding a touch of drama to it.
After hearing the story, Su Yuxi did not react. She believed that one should not listen to only one side of the story.
Whether it's true or not, she'll confirm it with Ah Zu later.
Fu Huaijin picked up her cup and drank half a cup of water. After pondering for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Xixi... are the children... alright?"
Thinking of the two children, Su Yuxi smiled slightly: "Yes, they are doing well."
"Do you have any photos?" Fu Huaijin's eyes flashed with anticipation as he pressed on, wanting to see what his child looked like now, unsure if he would ever see his child again.
Su Yuxi subconsciously stroked her phone, lost in thought. When she saw the man's expression growing increasingly gloomy, her heart softened inexplicably. She opened her phone and showed him the photos she had taken earlier.
When Fu Huaijin received the photo, his eyes lit up. Looking at the child in the photo, the softest part of his heart trembled slightly, and his eyes welled up with tears. He had seen the child briefly in that illusion before, and that cute little face had been deeply engraved in his mind ever since.
Now the two faces overlap, and their outlines fit together perfectly without the slightest deviation.
Is this his and Xixi's child?
His son and daughter both have striking silver hair, just like him, as if it were their own unique mark. The little girl has a chubby face, fair skin, and big, bright eyes. Every strand of her hair is so adorable.
“When our son was born, he looked like you. Now that he’s grown up a bit, he looks more like me.”
As Su Yuxi listened to her words, she carefully examined her son's features and indeed, they did resemble his.
"What are their names?" At the time, my attention was completely focused on Xixi, and I didn't think about naming the children at all.
"The boy's name is Zhi'an, the girl's name is Zhiyi, and their nickname is Tiantian."
Fu Huaijin nodded, his fingertips gently tracing the photo on the screen, his eyes revealing the most genuine emotions of a new father: "Little Sweetie..."
It sounds great.
But when he flipped to the next group photo, his smile froze instantly, as if a gust of cold wind had swept away all his affection.
This photo is unusually jarring.
The four people stood together. Su Yuxi was holding a tender little boy, her eyes full of gentle love. The annoying man was holding a little girl with her teeth showing. They stood in front of a big tree, surrounded by blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies. The scene was beautiful and heartwarming.
This position originally belonged to me.
Su Yuxi noticed that his expression was off and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Huaijin forced a smile and shook his head: "It's nothing."
He suppressed his discomfort and continued flipping through the photos, looking carefully at those of children and immediately swiping away those of Xuan Yin.
After looking at each photo, which was filled with memories, I reluctantly handed the phone back to her.
"Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."
Su Yuxi raised an eyebrow: Fu Huaijin gave her the impression of a pampered young master. Such people usually never lift a finger. How could he cook?
It's hard to imagine that such a refined man would be associated with the mundane affairs of the kitchen.
However, after the food was cooked, Su Yuxi silently took back her earlier complaints.
Fu Huaijin carefully peeled two shrimp and put them in her bowl, and couldn't help but reminisce about three years ago: "When I was pregnant, you all loved the food I cooked."
Do you remember?
Su Yuxi frowned as she looked at the shrimp in the bowl, thought for a while, and shook her head: "I don't remember."
"But the taste is familiar."
She doesn't resist thinking about the past, but these things only give her a vague sense of familiarity, and she can't remember them no matter what.
Never mind, I'll ask my grandfather when I get back in a couple of days.
"Hmm, eat more." Eating more might help you remember.
Fu Huaijin watched her eat quietly, occasionally putting a few of her favorite dishes on her plate.
Su Yuxi didn't feel embarrassed at all; it seemed like this was how it should be.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Yuxi took two tissues and gently wiped her mouth, casually saying, "I want a fruit platter, with lots of watermelon..."
After speaking, she paused for two seconds, wondering why she had spoken so matter-of-factly. A blush rose to her face, and she awkwardly shifted her gaze to Fu Huaijin, saying, "Or perhaps..."
Just as she was about to refuse, Fu Huaijin stood up and interrupted her, saying, "Go sit down first, I'll cut it for you in a bit."
He knew that sometimes memories were lost, but would muscle memory help her remember when to do what?
Su Yuxi chuckled twice, not knowing what else to say. Feeling guilty, she turned around and sat on the sofa, casually checking the weather on her phone.
The message indicated that the blizzard would likely start the day after tomorrow, meaning she would have to stay for two more days, and it was getting late.
Fu Huaijin quickly cut a fruit platter and brought it over. Su Yuxi stood up from the sofa and hesitated before saying, "It's getting late, I have to go back to the hotel."
She originally came here to find out what was going on, and now she has a pretty good understanding of the situation. She will verify the rest when she gets back.
Upon hearing that she wanted to leave, Fu Huaijin's expression immediately darkened, and he looked outside: "The wind and snow are heavy outside, it's very dangerous. Stay here for the night and leave tomorrow."
Su Yuxi recalled the harrowing journey she had taken and thought it made sense. Now the snow was even thicker, and there was no way to go down. After much deliberation, she finally decided to stay here for the night.
A hint of joy quietly bloomed in Fu Huaijin's eyes as he led her back to the master bedroom, but Su Yuxi refused. It always felt strange to stay in someone else's master bedroom.
Fu Huaijin had taken this into consideration and didn't force her. Instead, he prepared the guest room next door for her.
Even in the guest room, Su Yuxi found many traces of herself.
At night, the wind whipped snowflakes into the air, and a series of howling sounds reached our ears.
Su Yuxi lay on her warm and comfortable bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Today's events had a significant impact on her, and she found it difficult to fully process them.
In her hazy state, she seemed to see two figures, embracing each other, their fingers intertwined, behaving with unparalleled intimacy, doing the most intimate things lovers could do, sometimes whispering sweet nothings of their love...
Even in her sleep, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upwards.
However, when the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the window in the early morning, the scene I dreamt of last night vanished completely, without lingering in my mind for even a moment.
It was as if some force had made her forget this memory.
Su Yuxi lay on the bed in a daze for a while until her thoughts gradually returned. Then she got up and went to the window to see what was happening outside. The snow had stopped, and it was time for her to go back.
She quickly tidied up the bed and went downstairs to say goodbye to Fu Huaijin.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Fu Huaijin, wearing an apron, busily bringing out breakfast.
Seeing Su Yuxi, he smiled gently and said, "You're up. Breakfast will be ready soon. I'll go and bring out the soy milk."
His eager expression made her incredibly happy, so much so that she didn't know how to even begin to suggest leaving.
Su Yuxi slowly walked to the dining table and sat down. She looked up at the kitchen, where he was all alone. If he had to cook all of this, how early would he have to get up?
After Fu Huaijin finished serving the last breakfast, he sat down next to her and poured her a cup of soy milk and a cup of milk and corn juice, whichever she wanted.
"Eat up, everything's ready."
Su Yuxi picked up her chopsticks and pursed her slightly dry lips: "Did you make all of this?"
"Hmm, I made a lot, and they're all your favorite foods. If you can't finish them, try a little of everything."
He was so excited last night that he couldn't sleep, but he didn't dare to disturb Su Yuxi. He got up after lying down for a short while and started making various breakfasts.
"Oh." Su Yuxi lowered her eyes, not daring to meet his bright eyes, and ate her breakfast in silence.
Even without looking up, she could feel the burning love from the man beside her, which made her decide to leave soon.
Half an hour later, Su Yuxi finished eating, but before she even left the table, she mentioned that she was leaving.
Fu Huaijin didn't stop him and nodded, "Okay, I'll drive you out in a bit."
He agreed so readily that Su Yuxi was stunned for a while. It wasn't until she was sitting in the car that she truly believed this man would let her leave.
Fu Huaijin, with an indifferent expression, escorted the person back to the hotel, then went to the room, took down the luggage, and then took the person to the airport. He acted perfectly normal throughout the journey.
Su Yuxi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Fu Huaijin in first class.
So, he agreed so readily because he wanted to go back with her?
"you……"
Fu Huaijin smiled and voiced her doubts: "I have some business in Yun City, and it just so happens that I'm on the same flight as you."
Su Yuxi swallowed hard. What else could she say? The plane wasn't hers, and Yun City wasn't hers either. People had things to do there, and she couldn't just stop them from going.
The flight from Shengjing to Yunshi takes only three hours; you can close your eyes and open them again and you'll be there.
After Su Yuxi got off the plane and retrieved her luggage, she turned around and saw Fu Huaijin. As if she knew what this man was up to, she let go of her suitcase, and he immediately took it from her.
"My car is right outside, I'll give you a ride."
"Whatever." Su Yuxi had already given up on herself. Anyway, if she rejected this man, he would find other excuses to persuade her.
So whatever.
The two then rode in the same car and arrived at the entrance to Ailao Mountain.
It was winter, and the scenery was somewhat bleak and desolate. Leaves fluttered down in the cold wind, and both of them stared at the winding path ahead.
"Well, I've arrived." Su Yuxi gently fiddled with her fingers. Although it had only been two days since they met, she felt a strange sense of reluctance.
Fu Huaijin unconsciously gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his breathing became slightly heavier, his gaze was fixed on his taut fingers, and a simple "hmm" escaped his throat as if it were being entangled by a thousand thoughts and had been difficult to utter.
Having received a response, Su Yuxi slowly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out.
Then I went to the back of the car and took all the luggage out.
Fu Huaijin also got off the car and took the luggage down first.
A cold wind blew by, lifting their hair so that it danced and intertwined in the air. Their eyes met, but they remained silent, a subtle emotion swirling between them.
Another gust of cold wind blew by, and Su Yuxi shivered slightly as if waking from a dream. She reached out to pull her suitcase, but when her fingertips touched the warmth of the man's hand, she was startled as if burned and quickly withdrew her hand: "I... I'll stop here. I'm going back."
"Hmm." Fu Huaijin simply responded softly. In fact, he had a lot to say, wanting her to stay or take him away, but to her now, he was a stranger. If he were to speak his mind, it would probably only provoke her resentment.
He didn't want to.
Su Yuxi took a light breath and reached for the suitcase again, but this time Fu Huaijin let go.
"I'm leaving, you can go back now."
She dared not linger any longer, and resolutely turned around and walked upstairs with her suitcase in hand.
She could clearly feel the gaze behind her, so intense it felt like it was burning her up. Her mind was in turmoil; she hadn't figured things out yet, and she couldn't make any promises.
"Xi Xi..."
Su Yuxi stopped walking, but did not turn around.
The man's voice continued to come from behind.
"I'll wait for you here, no matter how long it takes..." In the end, Fu Huaijin followed his heart and told her that he would wait for her here forever.
No matter the changing seasons, the blooming and withering of flowers, the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields, or even the collapse of heaven and earth and the destruction of all things, he will wait here for her, waiting for her answer.
Su Yuxi's back trembled slightly, but she still left without looking back. However, this time her steps were inexplicably lighter.
The moment we returned to our clan, the two younger children ran off to play somewhere.
She threw down her bag and went to find Ah Zu, eager to find out about her relationship with Fu Huaijin.
The two talked all night in the pharmacy, and time passed by unnoticed.
Su Yuxi came out a week later.
She knew that her amnesia might be due to the lightning tribulation or her heart condition.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that Fu Huaijin did not lie; the two are indeed husband and wife in the human world, and the child is indeed his.
He became like that entirely because of himself.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be who I am today, nor would I have my lovely child, and there would be no turning point or hope for the demon realm.
They owe him.
Su Zhiyi squatted at the door for a long time before her mother came out. As soon as she saw her mother, she rushed over like a little cannonball, her short legs moving nimbly: "Mommy, Mommy..."
"You're finally out."
Caught off guard, Su Yuxi stumbled from the impact.
After regaining her balance, she squatted down and picked up the little girl. Looking at the eyebrows and eyes that were so similar to her father's, she couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Su Zhiyi was still smiling at her mother when she noticed that her mother's eyes were red, as if she had been crying. She immediately became anxious and quickly reached out her warm little hand to touch her cheek and blow on her eyes: "Mom, what's wrong? Did Daddy make you cry?"
“My brother and I will go help you beat up your father.”
"How dare you bully Mom!"
After saying that, the little girl waved her little fist, looking indignant.
Su Yuzi couldn't help but smile as she watched the little girl's innocent and adorable actions, and tapped the little girl's nose: "Mommy is fine."
Where is my brother?
Su Zhiyi rolled her eyes and complained angrily, "Who knows where he went?"
"He said he wanted to play hide-and-seek with me."
"He hid for three days straight and didn't show up. Even when I admitted defeat, he still wouldn't come out. I'm never playing with him again."
Su Yuxi's smile grew even gentler: "Sweetie, shall Mommy take you to find Daddy?"
Su Zhiyi didn't quite understand. Wasn't "dad" the same as "father"?
Isn't Father inside?
"Okay." She was going to ask her father why he had made her mother cry.
"Okay." Su Yuxi pinched the rosy cheeks of the little girl and carried her out.
They had barely left when the tightly closed door was opened from the inside.
Xuan Yin watched her figure walk further and further away, his eyes gradually dimming. He knew he couldn't keep her in the end.
Su Zhiyi leaned on her mother's shoulder and inadvertently turned her head to see her father standing at the door. Seeing the lonely and sad look in her father's eyes, a big question mark popped into her little head. Wasn't her mother taking her to find her father?
Isn't Father inside?
She quickly put the question out of her mind because her mother took her out of the mountains.
She's only been out of the country once in her life, and she was quickly caught and brought back.
This time, since her mother brought her out, would they be able to play for a long time before going back? Su Zhiyi was overjoyed, her little eyes looking around curiously: "Mommy, where are we going?"
"I'm taking you to see someone." Su Yuxi didn't answer directly, instinctively hugging the little girl in her arms tighter, her heart pounding with anxiety.
She was afraid the children wouldn't accept it later.
Until we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw a tall, upright, handsome, and resolute figure standing not far away.
The moment she saw the man, Su Yuxi's heart skipped a beat, and she hugged her daughter even tighter.
The two stood there, staring at each other in a daze.
Su Yuxi: He hasn't left yet...
Fu Huaijin: She came back, and she brought their daughter with her.
“There’s an uncle over there with Mom.” Su Zhiyi pointed to Fu Huaijin not far away, as if she had discovered a new continent: “Uncle Fu Huaijin’s hair color is the same as Dad’s.”
Su Yuxi lifted the chubby little girl in her heel and continued walking forward.
When she reached the stunned man, she placed the child in his arms.
Fu Huaijin suddenly woke up and hurriedly accepted this unexpected treasure.
"Sweetie... call me Daddy." Su Yuxi suppressed a laugh and patted Su Zhiyi, who was also dumbfounded.
Su Zhiyi blinked her clear eyes, not knowing why she had to call a stranger "Dad," but she obediently did as her mother told her to, calling out in her childish voice, "Dad."
"Yes, I am." Fu Huaijin was flattered, his face showing surprise and panic. He was somewhat incoherent and didn't know how to answer.
Then the two of them, one big and one small, looked at Su Yuxi. They were both complete strangers to each other and didn't know what to do next.
Su Yuxi's beautiful face was radiant with a smile like a flower blooming in spring. She said nothing and walked straight down the mountain past the two people.
As Fu Huaijin watched the graceful figure walking away, exuding a joyful aura, a sudden thought flashed through his mind. He seemed to realize something, picked up the child, and chased after her. He carefully took her hand, and seeing that she didn't struggle, a happy smile appeared on his lips.
"Fu Huaijin, we can't get those memories back." Su Yuxi's tone revealed a hint of regret. In those seven days, she had tried her best to find those lost memories, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not recall the little things that had happened between them.
Fu Huaijin squeezed her small hand and comforted her, "It's okay, we'll have more memories together in the future."
They have a long road ahead of them. They can retrace their steps or fill in the gaps in their memories with their future lives.
As long as the two are together, the traces of happiness will last a long time.
Su Zhiyi: "Mom, where are we going?"
Su Yuxi: "We're going to F country to bring back many uncles and aunts."
Su Zhiyi: "What about my brother? Aren't you taking him with you?"
Su Yuxi: "Let's not bring him this time, let's bring Dad instead, okay?"
Su Zhiyi clapped her hands loudly: "Okay, brother can't go, but we're going to ride the big airplane..."
