Chu Chu paused as Hades spoke, looking back and smiling. That smile expressed both relief from the past and hope for the future. "Thank you, Hades, for your protection over these past few lives. Now, I can finally fly freely and pursue the sky that belongs to me. Farewell, my friends in the underworld."
Just like that, she inadvertently crossed the invisible boundary and stepped into the prosperous and warm land of the human world.
Every step she took felt like stepping on clouds, light yet a touch unreal. Mountains and rivers slowly unfolded before her eyes, like a series of exquisite ink paintings, so beautiful that it made her breathtaking.
The mountain flowers are in full bloom and colorful, like nature's most sincere smile, welcoming every soul that strays into the mortal world.
As she strolled through the place, her heart was filled with unprecedented emotion and tranquility, as if all this was a long-awaited reunion, and every breath was filled with the fragrance of life.
During her time on earth, she met many familiar faces. Those people who had left a deep impression on her in the past years now appeared in her world in a brand new posture.
Chu Lei, the clumsy little boy she always remembered, had grown into a wise and accomplished young man, his eyes gleaming with maturity and tenderness. When she saw him strolling with his wife and children in the afterglow of the setting sun, the ordinary yet heartwarming happiness they shared brought her genuine joy.
The child's toy accidentally fell, and Chuchu instinctively bent down to pick it up, walked forward lightly, and handed the toy back to the little girl named Chuchu. At that moment, she seemed to see some subtle connection between herself and the world.
Even more surprising was the unexpected reunion with Chu An on the university campus. After not seeing him for many years, he was still standing on the podium, continuing his mission of teaching and educating as a professor. Students surrounded him like stars surrounding the moon. The sense of accomplishment of having so many students all over the world made him even more graceful.
When she heard the voice of "Hey, classmate, did you drop your book?", her heart tightened. She turned around and looked, just in time to meet Chu An's smiling eyes. He smiled and said, "You look so much like my sister." Chu Chu smiled in response, but she felt a mixture of emotions. She was not only the "sister-like" person in his eyes, but also the person who had silently accompanied him countless times as a sister.
If possible, she would like to be Chu An's sister again.
Continuing on, Chuchu's thoughts were drawn deeply to another name: Song Yaqing. The human who had devoted his brief life to her, loving her wholeheartedly. Seventy years might have seemed like a fleeting moment to her, but to Song Yaqing, it was a tale of utter love and devotion. She practically ran across most of the capital, the longing in her heart surging like a tide.
Finally, in a courtyard brimming with life, she encountered Song Yaqing. Time had left its mark on her, yet her grace and gentleness remained. She was carefully supporting her elderly grandmother, softly inquiring about the next day's breakfast. Her patience and attentiveness brought tears to Chuchu's eyes.
The rain fell silently, as if it was also moved by this reunion. Chuchu stood in the rain, letting it wet her clothes, her tears intertwined with the rain. She finally understood what the seven emotions and six desires were, what the fireworks of the world were.
Song Yaqing noticed her, walked over with an umbrella, and her gentle words were like a spring breeze, trying to comfort the girl who looked a little lost.
Chuchu looked at Song Yaqing, with thousands of words surging in her heart, which finally turned into a simple greeting: "Ms. Song, are you doing well?" Song Yaqing was puzzled, but responded politely. Chuchu just smiled and nodded, took the umbrella, thanked her and turned to leave. She knew that this one side was enough.
As her journey in the human world drew to a close, Chuchu still had one last wish in her heart. She didn't go looking for it deliberately, because true encounters always happened unexpectedly.
When she heard that Rong Lin came to Jincheng, she decided that if they could meet again this time, she would never let them separate again, even if it meant defying the so-called law of reincarnation, even if it meant giving up the so-called responsibility of eliminating demons and defending the way. She just wanted to be her true self and spend the rest of her life with her beloved.
With this thought in mind, Chuchu strolled through the streets and alleys of Jincheng, enjoying this rare tranquility and freedom.
When passing by a basketball court, the figures of several handsome boys attracted her attention. She stopped and watched this youthful competition quietly.
Suddenly, a basketball flew toward her. She instinctively reached out to catch it, then deftly hit it back. At that moment, a boy named Lu Chenguang approached, his face shimmering in the sunlight, making it appear particularly dazzling. He smiled, apologized, and introduced himself: "My name is Lu Chenguang."
Chuchu also smiled and responded: "My name is Chuchu."
Lu Chenguang's smile was like the warmest sunshine in spring, making Chuchu feel unprecedentedly comfortable.
He handed her a piece of paper with his cell phone number on it and said, "This is my number. You can call me if you have any questions."
Chuchu nodded, "Okay, sure."
Meeting, whether it is a reunion or a first meeting, is the most precious.
