By the time the live broadcast ended, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Tao Mu had been in a coma for three days and had just woken up. Although he had no physical symptoms, the hospital, out of caution, recommended that Tao Mu stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. Considering that Mr. Song was old, Li Xiaoheng took the initiative to suggest that Liu Yao and Meng Qi send the old man back to the hotel to rest, while he would stay in the hospital to accompany him.
Liu Yao and Meng Qi also knew that the two children had just come out, and they were afraid that they still had a lot of private things to talk about. I no longer insisted on staying and being a light bulb. He just patted the big-tailed wolf's shoulder with a frustrated look on his face, and told Li Xiaoheng to take good care of Tao Mu.
Mr. Li wagged his tail and agreed with great enthusiasm. He also diligently supported Mr. Song's arm and personally sent him to the elevator. After watching the three parents leave, he put his arm around Tao Mu's shoulders and half-hugged him back to the ward.
During this time, their phones kept ringing, all from friends and relatives who saw the live broadcast. Among them, the Li family's reaction was the most excited. Tao Mu could hear Grandpa Li praising Li Xiaoheng for his excellent work from a distance on the other side of the phone. Mr. and Mrs. Li were even more anxious to ask when the engagement ceremony would be held.
After the news spread online, there were waves of intense reactions from netizens. Except for a small number of homophobic netizens and fans who cannot accept their idols dating, most people's attitudes are still peaceful and tolerant. Especially during the live broadcast, all Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng could see were blessings from netizens.
I don’t know whether these comments are directly filtered out by Danmu.com in the background. But Tao Mu was still very happy.
It is not advisable to overeat at night, and Tao Mu has just woken up. Li Xiaoheng ordered a pot of seafood porridge and a few light side dishes at the hotel and accompanied Tao Mu for dinner. While drinking porridge, Tao Mu discussed reincarnation dreams with Li Xiaoheng. He smiled bitterly as he spoke: "I originally thought that being able to be reborn once was the most fantastic thing. But I didn't expect that the reality was far more unbelievable than I knew."
Tao Mu said to Li Xiaoheng: "At first, I thought that what I experienced in my previous life was a book. And when I was just reborn, I could often hear the comments of readers in my mind. And some of the comments were made after I died..."
Li Xiaoheng analyzed thoughtfully: "Perhaps the information you heard in your mind was not some reader comments, but the comments of different people on these things in each reincarnation. Although you don't remember every reincarnation, your soul has truly experienced every reincarnation. The words these people said have become fragmented memories, deeply buried in the subconscious."
Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoheng's calm analysis and couldn't help asking, "What about you? I want to know, how did you live in each reincarnation?"
"I can't remember clearly." Li Xiaoheng shook his head: "I just remember that I wanted to find someone, but I couldn't find him no matter how hard I looked."
When Li Xiaoheng said this, he suddenly chuckled, looked at Tao Mu and said, "Come to think of it, I have been a bachelor for several lifetimes. It's all because of you. Tell me, how should you compensate me?"
Tao Mu put the bowl of porridge on the bedside table and asked with a smile: "How do you want to compensate?"
"Please compensate me for my whole life." Li Xiaoheng smiled faintly, "A lifetime is too short, and I can't love you enough."
"Several lives are so long, won't you get bored?" Tao Mu frowned, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Besides, it's too hard to reincarnate constantly. And Shen Er no longer has any obsession with the Shen family, so I guess there will be no reincarnation in the future."
Tao Mu analyzed that the reason why there were so many reincarnations was not just due to Shen Yu's greed and delusion. At least there must be Shen Er's obsession to redeem his family. Only if Shen Er is willing to accompany Shen Yu into reincarnation, can this game continue.
To put it in an analogy, this cycle of reincarnation is like a game of chess. The players are Shen Er and Shen Yu, everyone is a chess piece, and the endless cycle is the chessboard. Only when two people have something they cannot let go of and both have the desire to play chess, can the game of chess be played. As for who wins and who loses, it depends on who has more sophisticated means. Manifested in the chess game, it was probably what Tao Mu once thought was the plot halo.
And now, Shen Er has obviously consumed all his affection for the Shen family in the long cycle of reincarnation. Once one player gives up, cracks will immediately appear in the perfectly coordinated chess game, and it may even slowly collapse. However, the other party was unwilling to collapse, so he tried every means to pull Tao Mu back into the game. This is probably why after his rebirth, Tao Mu has tried his best to avoid Shen Yu, and even avoided all members of the Shen family, but he is still repeatedly bullied by the unwilling Shen Yu, trying to pull him back to the original plot.
However, Tao Mu's subconscious desire to break free from reincarnation has caused a deviation in the facts. The originally unchanging reincarnation trajectory deviated from its original direction, like a snowball. No matter how hard Shen Yu tried to get involved, even if he used up his last bit of strength, the fate that had already rolled into a big snowball began to roll vigorously in a new direction until the reincarnation was broken and all the people involved woke up. Shen Yu, who tried to play with fate, would naturally have to endure the pain of being crushed by fate.
Tao Mu said: "In fact, although Shen Yu's character in the first life was not very good, he still had intelligence and means. However, with each reincarnation, Shen Yu would become a little dumber." Until this life, all the seven emotions and six desires were almost consumed, and only greed and delusion remained to support Shen Yu's personality.
However, desires are insatiable. Shen Yu, who is left with only greedy desires under his skin, will obviously never be satisfied. He will just keep asking and demanding. But such people are destined to never be liked by others at any time. In other words, the reincarnation situation that Shen Yu exchanged for with all his efforts could only lead to his insatiable desires and the end of him being deserted by his friends and relatives.
Thinking of this, Tao Mu couldn't help but sigh. Shen Yu harmed Shen Er and so many others because of his momentary greed, but in the end he was also swallowed by this greed. Tao Mu felt that Shen Yu now had almost lost all the emotions and perceptions that a human being should have, and without these, a person could no longer be called a human being.
"That's his own fault." Li Xiaoheng snorted coldly and hugged their boss Tao tightly. "He hurt you so badly! And he made your husband stay alone in an empty house for so many lifetimes! I have been a virgin for several lifetimes! This hatred is irreconcilable! You have the leisure to sigh for him, why don't you think about how to make it up to me?"
As Li Xiaoheng spoke, he leaned forward on the bed and pressed Tao Mu under him. My hands and feet started to become naughty.
Tao Mu was itchy all over because of Li Xiaoheng's annoyance. He could only hold Li Xiaoheng's wrist and said softly: "Stop it. Let's talk about business!"
"You talk about yours, and I'll do mine. It won't delay us." Li Xiaoheng pushed Tao Mu hard, using a double meaning in his words.
Tao Mu was made weak all over by Li Xiaoheng, and collapsed powerlessly on the hospital bed. But her hands were particularly honest and hooked around Li Xiaoheng's neck.
Li Xiaoheng originally just wanted to make trouble for Tao Mu, to distract him from his experience, so that he wouldn't always think about those unhappy things and disgusting people. Unexpectedly, Tao Mu was so obedient that he aroused all of Li Xiaoheng's desires at once.
So without further ado, they started making love to the point where they had to turn on the lights. After the lovemaking, Li Xiaoheng hugged Tao Mu in his arms, his palm stroking Tao Mu's smooth back from time to time, and slowly asked: "When you were unconscious, I had a dream. According to your analysis, probably those who are in the bureau will dream. Maybe the Shen family also remembered it."
Li Xiaoheng looked down at Tao Mu, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he asked, "Have you ever thought about what to do?"
"No big deal." Tao Mu lay in Li Xiaoheng's arms and said lazily: "In fact, the revenge that should be avenged and the people who should be hated, Shen Er had already dealt with them in the first life."
At the beginning, Zhuo Yan deliberately approached Shen Er and joined forces with the Yao family to destroy the Shen family. Shen Er found a way to find Mr. Song and forced the Yao family to hand over the "Song Family Cookbook". He even went all out and directly drove the Sheng'an Group into bankruptcy, leaving the Yao family with nothing. His methods are much more cruel than Tao Mu in this life. Later, he teamed up with Li Xiaoheng to force Zhuo Yan to go to jail, and in the end they both died. One life for another, all grudges have long been cleared. As for the many reincarnations that followed, whether it was Yao Wenxiao and Zhuo Yue framing Tao Mu, or Tao Mu taking revenge on Yao Wenxiao and Zhuo Yan, Tao Mu was too lazy to care about all those messes.
As for the remaining Shen family members, their kinship had actually been severed in the first life. It’s just that Shen Er himself can’t see through it. Now that all his obsessions were gone, Tao Mu no longer had any expectations for the Shen family, so naturally he was too lazy to hate them. He had finally broken the cycle of reincarnation and didn't want to get involved in any more of that shit, let alone have anything to do with the people involved. For the rest of his life, he just wanted to live a quiet life with Mr. Li in their family.
President Li agreed with Tao Mu's words very much. Especially the last sentence. But there is one person who must be punished. Otherwise, Mr. Li will never be able to let go of his resentment. It's even more difficult to accompany Tao Mu peacefully for the rest of his life.
This person is Shen Yu.
"You also said it. These reincarnations are made up of the obsession and greed of Shen Er and Shen Yu. Although these two factors are indispensable. But there is no guarantee that Shen Yu will not cause trouble again. I have worked so hard to find you, and I don't want to cause any complications. So this person must be gotten rid of." Li Xiaoheng felt so angry when he thought of that beast Shen Yu. This bastard, who was not worthy of being called a human being, had harmed Tao Mu to this extent just because of his own selfishness. There would be no way Li Xiaoheng would let him go.
Tao Mu finally broke free from reincarnation, and of course he didn't want to go back to the old path. After hearing what Li Xiaoheng said, he thought about it for a long time and said, "Although the reincarnations of each life are similar. But I thought about it carefully, in fact, no matter how the reincarnations of each life change, there are two time points that will never change. That is, recognition at the age of eighteen and death at the age of twenty-eight."
It happens to be the time when Shen Yu and Shen Er in the first life first met and also the time of their death. For some reason, Shen Yu seemed to be particularly obsessed with these two time points. After so many reincarnations, many details have changed, but these two time nodes have never changed.
"So," Tao Mu concluded thoughtfully, "if we can ensure that no one dies on our 28th birthday, we can probably break the cycle of reincarnation."
"That's easy." Li Xiaoheng chuckled and said with a deep look in his eyes, "It's not easy to keep a person alive. But if you can't keep a person from dying, it's too easy."
