Having lived two lives, she had no idea that such a place existed near the capital. She never expected that Jiang Xuanjin would be able to find it.
She was wearing high heels tonight, and it was a bit inconvenient to walk on the beach, so she took them off.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuanjin immediately took off his coat and placed it on the sand for Jian Yixue to step on. Without even thinking, Jian Yixue refused his kindness and insisted on walking barefoot on the beach.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at Jian Yixue, who refused to stand on the rock, and said nothing. He walked straight to the rocks exposed on the beach and sat down. He looked towards the sea for a long time without turning back or saying a word.
Perhaps because it had been a while, Jian Yixue's fair and delicate feet gradually became sore from stepping on the somewhat rough gravel; the soles of her feet were indeed painful from the rough sand.
Seeing Jiang Xuanjin still lost in his own world, Jian Yixue was somewhat displeased. She was about to ask him why he had brought her here and what he wanted to say to her, but when she looked up and saw Jiang Xuanjin's somewhat forlorn back, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
She didn't know why, but a feeling of heartache welled up inside her.
Never mind, she'll just wait for him to speak.
He probably won't do anything to her given his current appearance. The effects of the drug Zhao Heng gave her have mostly worn off, so even if Jiang Xuanjin tries to do something later, she has the ability to protect herself.
Even if all else fails, she still has a space to save her life.
Jian Yixue stood silently behind Jiang Xuanjin, occasionally shifting her aching feet.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xuanjin's deep, hoarse voice came through.
"Yi Xue, do you really not remember me?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue was filled with doubt and looked up at Jiang Xuanjin's back.
This wasn't the first time Jiang Xuanjin had asked her this question.
Do they really know each other?
Jian Yixue frowned, and her mind searched again, but still couldn't find a single figure that could overlap with Jiang Xuanjin in front of her.
For a moment, Jian Yixue didn't know what to say, so she remained silent and waited quietly for Jiang Xuanjin to tell his story.
Jiang Xuanjin, who was in front, turned his head to look at Jian Yixue, then turned back to continue looking at the sea, his deep voice carrying a hint of disappointment.
"Heh~ It seems he really doesn't remember."
The moment Jiang Xuanjin turned his head, Jian Yixue naturally didn't miss the hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Jian Yixue frowned deeply; she really couldn't recall where she had seen Jiang Xuanjin before.
Just as Jian Yixue was filled with doubt, Jiang Xuanjin's voice came again.
"Come sit here for a while. You must be tired from standing for so long. Come sit here and I'll tell you a story."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue did not refuse. She was indeed a little tired after standing for so long and didn't want to be pretentious.
Another reason was that she was interested in the story he was telling, which, if she wasn't mistaken, was about the two of them.
Jian Yixue walked to a rock not far from Jiang Xuanjin and sat down, looking at him and waiting for him to tell her story.
"Seven years ago, in the winter, I was ordered to carry out a mission in the capital of the M country, but I was betrayed by the other side. Of my companions, I was the only one who escaped with serious injuries."
I escaped to a primeval forest and hid in a simple house in the forest, but unfortunately, my injuries were severe and I had nothing on me.
Just when I thought I was going to die there, a woman in a red cloak walked in…
At this point, Jiang Xuanjin stopped and looked at Jian Yixue beside him.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue recalled a scene from that year.
Jian Yixue was somewhat surprised, her beautiful peach blossom eyes widening in surprise. "That person was you?"
That winter, she was just a member of the [Youyue] organization. At that time, she happened to have nothing to do and suddenly had the idea to go to the mountain to see the snow.
I heard online that the snow scenery at the top of the primeval forest there is absolutely stunning.
Unexpectedly, halfway there, the snow started falling even heavier. Helpless, she looked around for a place to take shelter from the snow and went inside the small wooden house.
Upon entering, I was surprised to see a man with a dirty face lying on the ground, barely breathing. He looked quite young, and I was moved with compassion to save him.
The snow stopped early the next morning. Seeing that he seemed fine, she left a note and some things and continued on her way.
Afterwards, she put this small favor out of her mind, never expecting to encounter it again.
After learning about Jiang Xuanjin's situation, Jian Yixue became less wary of him.
After all, she was his savior, and he couldn't possibly repay kindness with enmity.
Jane recalled her experience in Country M and said with some dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you say so earlier?" It made her escape so difficult.
"What good will it do to tell me? Will you leave Ye Mohan and come with me?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue was speechless.
What is all this?!
She saved him, okay?
She kindly saved his life and now expects to repay him with her body?
What are you doing, bro?
Jian Yixue was speechless; she hadn't expected that doing a good deed would lead to this mess.
What a miscalculation!
“I remember telling you this back in the US, and if you don’t remember, I can repeat it again.”
I'm already married!
And I love him very much, the kind of love where I can't live without him.
Please have some self-respect!
Jian Yixue originally wanted to give him a good scolding, but seeing Jiang Xuanjin's dejected expression, she didn't say anything.
Thinking about it, Jiang Xuanjin wasn't wrong; he just loved the wrong person. He hadn't done anything excessive to her.
She couldn't bear to hurt him too much, so she finally chose to tell him the truth, hoping he could let go.
She wasn't that good; in her past life, she had hurt Ye Mohan.
In this life, she didn't want Ye Mohan to be hurt in the slightest because of her again.
At the same time, she didn't want to hurt Jiang Xuanjin.
Upon hearing this, a trace of undeniable desolation flashed across Jiang Xuanjin's face. Perhaps not wanting to appear too pathetic in front of Jian Yixue, he turned his head back to continue looking at the sea.
"Yes, you got married. Seven years. I've been looking for you for seven whole years, and it just happened to be a little over a month late."
This missed opportunity could last a lifetime, and he simply couldn't accept it.
Upon hearing Jiang Xuanjin's words, Jian Yixue felt only surprise and disbelief.
Just because she saved his life, he searched for her for seven years!
Did he search for him for many years in his past life?
Why did she never see him in the end?
Could it be because of her rebirth...?
Jian Yixue had no way of knowing the answer to this question, since she could not go back and ask him about her past life.
"I only saved you by chance, you don't need to take it too seriously."
Jian Yixue looked at Jiang Xuanjin on the sea in front of her and spoke softly to his profile.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuanjin remained silent, his gaze fixed on the direction of the sea, as if only in this way could he feel better.
