Chapter 103 Rebirth
A whole week has passed since Jiang Xianchuan committed suicide. For Li Lingyu, this period of time is like a long nightmare that cannot be shaken off.
Now, knowing that he could no longer conceal the truth, he finally plucked up the courage to tell everyone in the camp the truth.
When everyone heard the news, the whole camp was instantly shrouded in deathly silence, especially Shi Yi. After hearing the news, she felt as if all the strength had been drained from her legs, and she sat limply on the ground.
She covered her mouth tightly with both hands, her face full of disbelief, but tears kept falling from her eyes, followed by a burst of silent sobbing.
As for the others, they all stood there blankly as if they were under a spell, completely immersed in this heartbreaking and difficult to accept fact.
Ever since Jiang Xianchuan left, Li Lingyu has become completely dispirited. The old him has long disappeared, replaced by a person who looks like a walking corpse.
The only motivation that supports him to continue to live in this world is that Jiang Xianchuan's body has not been found yet. For him, no matter life or death, he must see that person.
In this way, the days passed one by one, and before he knew it, it had been the third month that Li Lingyu had been searching for Jiang Xianchuan's body.
However, even though he searched almost every inch of land around the camp, he still failed to find any clues about Jiang Xianchuan's whereabouts.
On this day, Li Lingyu, exhausted both physically and mentally, wandered aimlessly in the camp as usual, and the warm scenes of him and Jiang Xianchuan strolling leisurely here hand in hand in the past kept emerging in his mind.
At this moment, a familiar young man's voice suddenly came: "It's been a long time since we last met. How come you have lost so much weight? Didn't you eat well?"
Li Lingyu was stunned when he heard the voice, and his body froze in place. That was clearly the voice of the person he thought about day and night! But he didn't dare to raise his head, for fear that all this was just an illusion caused by his excessive longing.
Then, the voice sounded again: "Why don't you look at me?"
"Your voice sounds familiar..." Li Lingyu murmured, looking ahead with a dazed look. When he said this, it seemed as if time had stopped for a moment.
The man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then took light steps and walked in front of Li Lingyu in a few steps.
Then, he slowly stretched out his hands, gently held up Li Lingyu's slightly pale face, and asked softly: "Now? Does this face look familiar to you?"
Li Lingyu widened his eyes and looked in disbelief at the person in front of him who was staring at him with a smile on his face. It turned out to be Jiang Xianchuan!
At this moment, all the emotions that had been suppressed for so long burst out like a flood. His eyes became moist instantly and tears slid down his cheeks uncontrollably.
Li Lingyu opened his arms without hesitation and hugged the person in front of him who he had been thinking about day and night, and shouted with sobs in his mouth: "You liar!"
Jiang Xianchuan felt Li Lingyu's trembling body and his deep attachment. He patted Li Lingyu's back gently and comforted him softly: "Don't cry, don't cry. It's all my fault. I'm sorry for making you suffer."
However, Li Lingyu did not stop crying because of these words. Instead, she buried her head deep in Jiang Xianchuan's arms, continuing to vent the grievances and longings in her heart.
After a long while, Li Lingyu finally calmed down a little, but he still said with a bit of resentment: "You still have the nerve to come back to me? Aren't you afraid that I have forgotten you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and teased: "If not you, who else should I look for? Are you going to look for another man?" Before he finished speaking, Li Lingyu shouted angrily: "You dare!"
"Okay, okay, I dare not, I dare not. My Yubao is the best." Jiang Xianchuan looked at Li Lingyu with a doting face and continued to comfort her in a soft voice: "Wife, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I made you worry." As he spoke, he gently stroked Li Lingyu's hair, trying to make the other party feel his apology and care.
Hearing this, Li Lingyu's originally tense face gradually relaxed, but he still couldn't help asking: "Aren't you... turned into a zombie? What's going on?" His eyes were full of confusion and worry.
Jiang Xianchuan took a deep breath and slowly began to recount the bizarre experience: "Yes, since I jumped off the cliff, I fell into a coma and completely lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I was surprised to find myself in a mysterious space. It was pitch black with only a faint light flashing. Just when I was wondering, a blurry figure suddenly appeared. That person told me that if I want to be reborn, I must unlock the secrets hidden in this space."
At this point, Jiang Xianchuan paused, and seeing that Li Lingyu was listening intently, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise. Then he continued: "So, from that moment on, I embarked on the journey to solve the mystery. I was about to give up, but in order to be able to return to you, I never gave up. After countless attempts and explorations, I successfully cracked the secret of that space and was able to be reborn and return."
Li Lingyu listened to Jiang Xianchuan's narration, and felt both distressed and respectful for what he had gone through. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he quickly asked, "What is the secret?"
However, Jiang Xianchuan just smiled slightly, shook his head mysteriously and said, "Then don't worry about it. The process is complicated anyway, and I'm afraid you won't understand it even if I tell you. The important thing is that I'm back now, and I will never leave you again."
In fact, Jiang Xianchuan did not want Li Lingyu to know that in that strange space, due to unfamiliarity with the rules, he had faced the threat of death again and again and suffered endless pain and torture, but these sufferings have become the past, and he just wants to show his best side to his beloved.
At this time, Li Lingyu seemed to realize that Jiang Xianchuan was hiding something, but seeing that he was unwilling to say more, he stopped asking.
After a moment's silence, he raised his head, looked at Jiang Xianchuan with his clear eyes, and asked cautiously: "Then...will you leave again when you come back this time?" There was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.
Jiang Xianchuan answered without hesitation: "I won't leave, never. No matter where you are in the future, I will always be by your side, protecting you forever." After saying that, he hugged Li Lingyu tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to freeze this warmth at this moment forever.
