When Qi Muzhi woke up again, he was really not used to it. He reached out and rubbed his throbbing temples, trying to clear his mind and relieve the intense discomfort.
His actions were seen by his friend, and one of the men exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my god! Look, look! He's awake!"
As she spoke, she leaned closer with a curious look, staring at Qi Muzhi as if he were a rare animal.
"I said you're finally awake. If you hadn't woken up, we would have taken drastic measures. Hey! Tell us what you've been through?" The man's handsome appearance couldn't hide his curiosity; he really, really wanted to know if such a miraculous thing truly existed in this world.
"Alright! Stop making such a fuss. Can't you see that Zhi isn't feeling well?" said the more composed-looking man beside him.
"Oh! Okay! But I don't believe you're not curious."
He curled his lip and exhaled a breath of stale air with some resentment.
"Even if you're curious, you have to know when to be. You'll suffer sooner or later if you keep acting like this."
Two minutes later, Qi Muzhi finally came to her senses, opened her eyes, and saw several large men standing by her bed.
"What are you all doing here?" Qi Muzhi asked, startled, as he sat up from the bed with his eyes closed.
"It's all because we were worried about you. You've been asleep for a month now. If we hadn't pressured Xi Jiu, we probably wouldn't know anything about your condition either."
Upon hearing this, Qi Muzhi turned to look at Chu Xijiu, his eyes clearly showing displeasure. The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.
"From what you've said, you should now understand the whole story, right?"
"Yes, I didn't expect you to be the first among us to find a partner. And it's true that once you fall in love, you're willing to lose everything for the other person."
The man was deeply moved. His friend, though usually gentle, quiet, and aloof—seemingly uninterested in everything, truly cold and indifferent—had unexpectedly given him such a profound shock. He was willing to give up everything for a girl, paying a heavy price to be with her. This both astonished and filled him with admiration.
"Feelings are never in one's control, nor are they always within one's grasp. Love arises without warning, and deepens with each passing moment. Perhaps being with her was just a fleeting moment, or perhaps it was fate's arrangement. In any case, all in all, I am happy for her."
Are you really sure she's the lover from your past life who appeared in your dream?
After hesitating for a long time, I finally asked the question that was on my mind.
"Um!"
"But you've only met in dreams, and your real-life encounters are few and far between. Are you so sure she'll be the most suitable person for you in the future?"
"Actually, meeting the right person in the right place is breathtaking. It's like a woman standing under a peach tree, not expecting anything, yet unexpectedly encountering love. This kind of life's encounter is what all women envy. Sometimes love comes silently, and by the time you realize it, you're already deeply in love, inexplicably so, and don't know what to do. Therefore, many people, after love arrives, make many mistakes because they don't realize it. A-Zhi has made such a decision, and we should all wish him well." These were Zhao Yanting's words, which carried a sense of vicissitude, as if she had experienced some hardships unbeknownst to them, which allowed her to speak so eloquently.
“Yes, I have studied some Buddhist sayings. All things arise from causes and conditions. A chance encounter, a sudden glance back, can determine the course of our lives, all for that one moment when our eyes meet. We should be happy for A-Zhi for meeting his destined partner.”
"But no matter what their fate is, what stands in our way now is the matter between A-Zhi and Miss Yang, whether Yu-Fan and his family know about it, and Miss Yang's current inexplicable situation."
Long Zexuan's insightful remark served as a wake-up call for his brothers.
Now that I've heard that, I realize that Miss Yang is Yu Fan's own sister. Given how much he treats her like the apple of his eye, A-Zhi is probably in for a tough time!
"That's true. If we hadn't met Yu Fan's sister by chance at the last gathering, he probably wouldn't have told us much about her. He probably did it to prevent us from taking a liking to her!" Chu Xijiu analyzed.
"...That's actually quite possible. But Yu Fan is keeping it well hidden."
"By the way, Zhi, did Miss Yang come back with you?"
"No, she can't come back yet." Qi Muzhi shook his head, feeling somewhat upset. Just an hour ago, he and she were chatting and laughing, but now they were in two completely different worlds. It felt like a cycle had come full circle, making him feel uneasy.
"Then...should we tell Yufan?"
"No need, Yi'er doesn't want her family to worry. By the way, is Mr. Shui here?"
"Mr. Shui is drunk. He spends all his time at Yazhuxuan. He's lost his mind. We can't call him back."
"Then why are you all gathered together?"
"It's because we knew you wanted to come over. We were partly curious and partly worried, so after we learned about it from Mr. Shui, a few of us made plans to come together."
"I'm fine, you can all go out now!"
"Okay, if you feel unwell anywhere, just let us know." After saying that, everyone else left, leaving Qi Muzhi alone in the bedroom.
After everyone left, Qi Muzhi's face turned pale. Anyone whose soul has been separated from their body for a month and then suddenly returns feels like they no longer have control over their body and can't adapt.
Moreover, if it weren't for the greater good, he would have refused to come back.
He had only been back for a dozen minutes, yet he already missed her terribly. He wondered what kind of life she was living after he left. Was she still in that world, or had she already left heartbroken? The sorrow that gathered bit by bit made Qi Muzhi extremely distressed.
He covered his face with his hands and suddenly felt something hard on his fingers. When he opened his hands, he saw that it was the Youluo Ring. Qi Muzhi was very puzzled. Logically speaking, he was a vague soul who went to another world, so why did he bring this thing with him?
He turned the ring around to examine it, trying to figure out its secrets, but to no avail. He remembered hearing her say that this thing could bind to the soul.
Seeing this brings me a little comfort. It's proof that we loved each other in another world.
The reason was that the ring was on Qi Muzhi's left ring finger, which made him feel satisfied because he and she were already husband and wife.
He lowered his head to kiss the ring, smiled, got up from the bed, and ignored the people in the living room, focusing on tidying himself up first!
