The Gu Group has been handed over to Gu Tao for management, and Gu Liyan and Hua Baixian continue to live their lives as before. Every morning, they practice Tai Chi in the back garden, have breakfast, and then play chess all day. In the afternoon, the two go to the supermarket to buy groceries, go home to cook dinner, and then watch the stars in the yard after dinner...
"Xiao Li, aren't you tired of it?" Hua Baixian asked.
Gu Liyan looked at Hua Baixian and smiled meaningfully, "The stars in the sky are different every day, but the people around us are always the same. It's getting a bit boring."
"Ugh!" Hua Baixian glared at Gu Liyan, annoyed. "Are you looking down on me?"
"How could I dare!" Gu Liyan laughed as he pulled Hua Baixian into his arms. "I just wanted to tell you that although our daily lives seem the same, they are still different. For example, when we went to the supermarket today, many people greeted us, but the people who greeted us were different from those who greeted us yesterday. Also, today's newspaper is different from yesterday's, and..."
"You know that's not what I meant." Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan with a serious expression and said, "I'm really worried about the Nine Springs Realm. Don't you think the living environment is getting worse and worse? Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and infection events abroad..."
Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.
"You know, Lin Momo and Yan Xiyue died because of this! Your father's island sank! Why can you still pretend nothing happened?" Hua Baixian said excitedly, "Don't you want to change all of this?"
Gu Liyan looked at Hua Baixian seriously and said, "Little Bai, people are born, grow old, get sick and die. This is the law of nature, and no one can change it. You should know that we will also have this day!"
Hua Baixian choked up as she spoke, "But I don't want to die, I don't want to be separated from you again. Who knows if we'll ever meet again in the next life... I'm afraid, I'm afraid of being separated from you! I haven't enjoyed this life enough yet, I want to be with you forever."
Gu Liyan held Hua Baixian in his arms with heartache and comforted her, "Little Bai, I used to think the same way, but some things and some people can't be kept forever!"
"Wouldn't it be enough if you mastered the Law of Reincarnation?" Hua Baixian suddenly said.
Gu Liyan froze, looking at Hua Baixian with disbelief that she had said this.
"Please use it one more time for me, okay?" Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan with a pleading expression.
Gu Liyan swallowed hard, feeling a dry, painful soreness in his throat, and his breathing became heavy. Looking at Hua Baixian, Gu Liyan finally couldn't help but ask, "You... what did you remember?"
Hua Baixian smiled bitterly. "On the ancient battlefield, the White Emperor initiated the cycle of reincarnation for me, just so that our time could become eternal at this moment. Xiao Li, you should understand, right?"
Gu Liyan suddenly stood up, looking at Hua Baixian as if she had never known her before, her brows furrowed but she didn't know how to speak.
"Didn't you say everything you did was for me? For me, can't you use it one more time?!" Hua Baixian suddenly shouted loudly, "I want to be with you, for all eternity, until the end of time!"
Gu Liyan looked at Hua Baixian and shook his head with all his might. "No, if that's the case... it's meaningless!"
Gu Liyan turned his back to Hua Baixian and said, "We've never argued before. I hope this is just a misunderstanding. I'm tired, I'm going back to my room to rest."
As Gu Liyan left, Hua Baixian's face grew increasingly gloomy.
Gu Liyan always believed that among the seven sufferings of birth, old age, sickness, death, being with those he hated, being separated from those he loved, and not getting what he wanted, he had already experienced six of them. He thought that as long as he survived "old age," he could truly grasp the law of reincarnation. However, he overlooked one point: reincarnation never ends, and the seven sufferings will continue to cause eternal pain.
People change; they become greedy, selfish, and driven by desires...
He struggled to shake off these feelings, unsure of what to do or what to choose. Suddenly, a saying came to mind: "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
The night wind picked up, and the night sky was starless. Gu Liyan suddenly felt a chill; something seemed different tonight.
Hua Baixian hadn't returned yet, and Gu Liyan was about to go out to look for her when he suddenly noticed that a knife was missing from the place where it was kept...
Gu Liyan lowered his eyes slightly, thinking of something, and walked towards the courtyard without hesitation.
Hua Baixian stood in the cold wind against the backdrop of the night, wearing a long pink dress. Gu Liyan smiled as he saw her back, remembering the Flower Goddess Dance she had once performed.
Hua Baixian heard Gu Liyan's footsteps and turned around to look at him. Time hadn't changed his appearance much; he was still as handsome as ever, except for his long silver hair.
But when she looked at herself, her face was covered in wrinkles and age spots. Every time she went out, she heard mocking voices saying she didn't deserve to be by his side...
The sound of wind and thunder mingled together, causing her skirt to flutter. Gu Liyan stepped forward, put his coat on her, and said with concern, "Xiao Bai, go inside. It's cold outside, and it looks like it's going to rain soon."
Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan, her eyes slightly red, and choked out, "Xiao Li, why don't you understand? You clearly had the chance to have all of this. Please, for my sake, use reincarnation again."
Gu Liyan looked Hua Baixian up and down, and said with a smile, "There are very few things in this world that can be called eternal. If we are eternal, how many things can stay with us?"
Hua Baixian's tears fell instantly. Suddenly, she raised her right hand, pointing the knife at Gu Liyan, and said fiercely, "I don't need anyone else to accompany me, as long as I have you, that's enough! Gu Liyan, you have already sacrificed so much for me. Now, I'm just asking you this once, just this once, why can't you grant my request?"
