Shen Qianxue raised the wine pot and gently tapped it against Su Jinxia's.
Su Jin took a small sip and her eyes narrowed in pleasure.
The moonlight shone down quietly, enveloping the two of them, creating a tranquil and warm atmosphere.
Su Jinxia's mood relaxed without her realizing it.
For some reason, the atmosphere between the two of them inexplicably eased a bit.
Su Jinxia pursed her lips and said softly, "I know it's not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in matters of the heart, but I still want to say that Master is not a heartless person. She must have been in more pain than you when she made that choice back then, so please don't hurt her, okay? She is really a very, very good person."
Su Jin bent her legs, rested her head on her lap, her cheeks were slightly flushed, she looked obedient and cute.
Shen Qianxue looked at her, her eyes reflecting only her image.
"good."
Su Jin blinked, then suddenly looked up at Shen Qianxue, her eyes sparkling, "You agreed?"
Shen Qianxue nodded gently.
While Su Jin was happy, doubt also appeared in her eyes. She did not expect Shen Qianxue to agree so easily.
Su Jinxia always believed that the nun's departure was a deep wound in Shen Qianxue's heart, and that he would never let it go easily.
“You…” Su Jin looked at Shen Qianxue with heartache and gently reached out to tug at his clothes. “If you’re feeling sad, just say it. Don’t keep it to yourself, and don’t let me make you suffer because of me.”
It turned out that Su Jin was afraid that Shen Qianxue would say something against her will because of her request.
Shen Qianxue gently curled his lips into a smile. He picked up the wine pot in his hand, touched it to the wine pot under Su Jin's hand, and then tilted his head back to drink.
Su Jin was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the wine pot and took a big gulp.
So the two of them took turns drinking.
Before long, Su Jin started acting strangely.
Su Jin shifted her position slightly, moving closer to Shen Qianxue. After a while, feeling it wasn't enough, she shifted again, and then again, until she was pressed against Shen Qianxue. She even gently rested her head on Shen Qianxue's shoulder, and then revealed a satisfied smile.
Shen Qianxue smiled and looked down at her, noticing that her eyes were pure and sparkling with starlight. Upon closer inspection, it was hard to tell whether she was innocent or a little confused; in any case, she was a bit dazed.
When Su Jin is drunk, she won't act crazy or become delirious; she'll just switch to another strange state.
Shen Qianxue was already quite aware of this.
"Ah Jin," Shen Qianxue called softly.
Su Jin nodded obediently, "Mm."
"How many secrets are you hiding from me?" Shen Qianxue asked softly, with a hint of coaxing in her voice.
Su Jin frowned, as if pondering the question.
Then, she raised her hand and measured a distance of one fingernail with two fingers. "This much, I guess."
After saying that, Su Jinxia was somewhat dissatisfied, feeling that something was wrong, and then widened the distance between her fingers to the maximum, "Could it be this much?"
As she spoke, Su Jin shook her head again, still unsatisfied. So she spread her arms wide, making a large gesture, and then grinned foolishly, saying, "So much!"
After speaking, Su Jin looked down at Shen Qianxue with a somewhat ingratiating expression, as if she wanted to ask for some reward because of her honesty.
Shen Qianxue's face turned completely black.
"Then what have you been hiding from me?" Shen Qianxue asked, following up on the conversation, her tone carrying a hint of danger.
Su Jinxia was a little slow on the uptake and didn't notice. Her eyes darted around, and she nervously put her finger to her lips, shushing him, and whispered, "You can't say."
Shen Qianxue leaned closer to Su Jin curiously and asked mysteriously, "Why can't I tell you?"
Su Jin frowned, conflicted, wondering if she could tell Shen Qianxue.
Shen Qianxue suddenly grabbed Su Jinxia's hand and squeezed it, coaxing her, "Don't worry, if you tell me, I definitely won't tell anyone else."
The seemingly reasonable words successfully stopped Su Jin from continuing her already unclear thinking.
Su Jin tugged at Shen Qianxue, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Because I'm so sad."
Shen Qianxue's expression darkened slightly. He put his arm around Su Jinxia's waist, pulling her closer to him, and whispered in her ear, "Could you tell me in detail? I'd really like to know."
The warmth of the man's embrace was so comforting that Su Jin felt a little reluctant to leave.
Su Jin couldn't help but snuggle into Shen Qianxue's arms, as if it were the safest harbor.
Shen Qianxue could sense that Su Jinxia's mood had suddenly become somber. He gently patted Su Jinxia's back, slowly stroking her hair, and softly coaxed, "Don't be afraid, don't be sad, you have me, tell me, okay?"
Su Jin nodded slightly, but she still frowned, unsure of where to begin.
Shen Qianxue then prompted, "When did you meet Zhou Ji?"
Upon hearing this name, Su Jin grabbed Shen Qianxue's clothes tightly, her expression turning resentful. She said, "In my past life."
A completely unexpected answer.
Shen Qianxue couldn't tell whether Su Jin was telling the truth or not.
However, based on past experience, Su Jin doesn't lie when she's drunk.
Shen Qianxue took a deep breath. "How do you know him? What did he do?"
Suddenly, soft sobs began.
Su Jin buried her head in Shen Qianxue's neck, heartbroken and frightened, and sobbed incoherently about her grievances, "He locked me up, cut off my flesh, drained my blood to treat his illness, and even wanted to use my flesh and blood to refine an elixir of immortality."
"It hurts so much, it really hurts so much..."
The girl's sobbing and trembling body tore a gaping hole in Shen Qianxue's heart. If Su Jinxia's words hadn't been so bizarre, Shen Qianxue might have really refrained from asking.
But, that's so strange...
It's not surprising that Zhou Ji wanted to drink Su Jin's blood, but he was far from being able to do so!
Is it really possible to have a past life?
"Anything else?"
Suddenly, Su Jinxia seemed to realize something, and quickly pulled away from Shen Qianxue's embrace, grabbed his hand, and said urgently, "He also killed you, killed everyone in the Liuli Society, everyone in the Phoenix Pavilion. You helped him ascend the throne, and then he became ruthless and heartless. He is a complete tyrant. You can't trust him, you absolutely can't help him, he will kill everyone!"
Shen Qianxue...
"Are you really from a past life?" Shen Qianxue thought he might be drunk!
Su Jin lowered her head dejectedly, "You won't believe me, I knew you definitely wouldn't believe me."
"I believe you," Shen Qianxue replied without hesitation, her seduction becoming even more pronounced.
Su Jin looked up in surprise, "Really?"
Shen Qianxue nodded, then asked, "Did you know me in my past life?"
Su Jin nodded.
"Then can you tell me how we met? What happened between us?"
Once Su Jinxia opened her heart, she forgot all her reservations and nestled in Shen Qianxue's arms, slowly recounting the past that had been buried deep in her heart.
