80. Prophecy
"Mr. Xia, thank you."
In the evening, by the Yunshui Lake.
The winter sky is already dark.
The quiet lake surface reflects the lights of thousands of homes along the shore, the floating lights dance like gold, and the still shadows sink like a jade.
Although this is a backward little town, the scenery at this moment can be described as magnificent.
The little devil Xia Chi couldn't stand it any longer and followed Butler Pei and others who came to pick him up back to Longting.
Su Wei held Xia Linxing's hand and walked with small steps. The moment she finished speaking, he put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms.
"Thank you for what?" He looked at her quietly.
Thank him for accompanying her back, helping her take her grandmother back for treatment, cooperating with her in acting, and even helping her vent her anger.
The original owner's previous messed-up past has come to an end, and there are no more hidden dangers.
Although the fake identities and costumes she arranged for him in advance seemed redundant, at least people would not be able to tell at first glance that he was Xia Linxing.
As a shining star, she should be spotless and pure.
She didn't want to cause him to be criticized.
But he took action today.
Su Zhi thought about that incident and looked up at him. "I actually pretended to fall down today. I just wanted to..."
"I know." Xia Linxing lowered his eyes and looked at her.
But when he saw her fall to the ground, no matter whether it was real or fake, his anger reached its peak.
Su Zhi looked into his dark eyes. At that moment, those eyes, which were naturally affectionate yet always calm, still clearly reflected a look of heartache through the thick square-framed glasses.
What is he feeling sad about?
Su Zhi guessed that it might be more about the original owner's fucked-up past?
"Mr. Xia, let me tell you a secret."
Su Zhi left his embrace, held his hand, and walked backwards boldly and confidently.
Xia Linxing held her tightly, and every step he took ensured that she was within the safe range he was protecting.
"What?" He looked at her quietly.
A chilly winter night wind blew in, ruffling her long hair.
Su Zhi casually tucked it behind her ear and looked up at him, "Actually, I'm not the original Su Zhi."
She chuckled and continued, "My soul actually comes from another world."
Xia Linxing didn't say anything. His dark eyes were like a deep pool in an ancient well, calm and without any ripples. He looked at her without any emotion.
A little too quiet.
Su Zhi guessed that he definitely didn't believe it, so she joked, "Have you ever read those time-travel novels?"
She smiled sweetly, "The heroine comes with a mission, and after completing the mission, she will leave and go to the next world."
The warm big hand tightened its strength in an instant.
But Su was weaving so seriously that not a single strand of thread was noticed.
"My mission is to help Su Zhi, the original Su Zhi, to make a comeback in her career and reach the pinnacle of her life."
"So, after I win the championship, maybe..."
"Are you leaving?" Xia Linxing lowered his eyes and looked at her straight.
She didn’t know if it was Su Zhi’s illusion, but she always felt that his eyes were a little cold?
“That’s the theory.”
Xia Linxing tightened his grip again, "What's the reality?"
Su Zhi said seriously, "In reality, you can choose to stay."
"But that depends on the strength of my bond with this world."
She raised the corners of her eyes and looked at me slyly like a cat. "So, Mr. Xia, you have to be nicer to me so that I like you more, okay?"
"In that case, maybe I will be reluctant to leave you, and my bond with you will become deeper and deeper, and maybe I will succeed in staying with you?"
"Of course," she snorted, and said fiercely, "If you make me sad in the future, I will leave you without hesitation, leave this world, and never come back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was suddenly pressed tightly into his arms.
"No."
Xia Linxing's Adam's apple rolled, her voice was hoarse, and her heavy eyes seemed to be filled with a storm of impending doomsday. She was even more out of control than the last time she proposed divorce.
"If you dare to leave."
He lowered his head and rubbed her ears. Finally, he forced her to raise her head so that her forehead touched his and their breaths were connected.
At this moment, those affectionate and beautiful peach eyes reflected her shadow almost obsessively.
"I will definitely turn into a fierce ghost and haunt you for eternity, leaving you with no peace."
But in the end, all the threats turned into overwhelming helplessness and sorrow.
"You can't do that."
He uttered these words with an unsteady breath, and then hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to completely rub her bones and blood into his flesh and blood, making it almost difficult for her to breathe.
Su Wei was stunned, then realized that the joke had gone too far.
She coughed and struggled, "I, I was just kidding, Mr. Xia, let go, I can't breathe, cough cough..."
The soft voice sounded like the helpless moan of a kitten.
Xia Linxing finally let her go a little.
That's just a little.
The violent aura still exists.
After that, Su Zhi coaxed the man for several days before finally coaxing him into submission.
The amethyst and silver bells hanging on the silky ankles rang again and again in the long, manic night.
Completely soaked in the musky liquid, her bones seemed to be crushed until her flesh and blood were completely saturated with his scent, leaving him with the deepest bond as her husband.
Su Zhi cried for a long time.
So long that she felt that those ties were almost taking root in her belly and growing into tiny seedlings.
…
They finally returned home on New Year's Eve.
"Happy New Year, knit."
Fireworks bloomed in the endless night sky.
In the dim light, the woman's delicate hand was gently pressed into the palm of his hand by slender fingers, and a pious kiss was placed on it.
"May you get whatever you wish for."
Su Wei heard the gentle prayer and looked at him with wet eyes. After a moment, she finally raised her face and kissed his cheek.
Grandma didn't survive the winter.
At the qualifying round, sad news came at the moment the game started.
Su Wei's eyes were completely red.
"Oh my god, Su King is so scary, he's going crazy!"
"Six minutes a game, that's terrifying!"
"Let us welcome the coming of the new God."
"I'm already excited. EC will definitely be the champion this year!"
"Is it an illusion? She seems to have become stronger again?"
There was overwhelming praise, one after another.
Everything seems to be getting better.
The Su Zhi who was once slandered and abused by countless people seems to be gone forever.
Xia Chi sat in the audience, watching the images being projected live on the big screen.
The woman's fingertips are like flying magic elves, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off them.
The only flaw is that upon closer inspection, there is a thin scar on the porcelain-white and slender wrist bone.
I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
That's why I stayed because of him.
It should have been perfect.
Xia Chi has never hoped so strongly that she could always be healthy, safe, away from all evildoers and disasters, and have a smooth road ahead.
But why does my heart feel so inexplicably heavy?
