Chapter 118 Finale
Time flies by like a white horse passing by, and Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao's temples are unknowingly stained with the white frost of time. Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, who were once vigorous and energetic, also passed away one after another at the end of time, which is very sad. Mr. and Mrs. Lu and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang are now in their eighties, and the years have left deep marks on their faces.
Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao slowed down their pace of life and no longer traveled frequently. More often, they chose to stay at home with their parents.
On a spring afternoon, the family sat in the courtyard, the warm sunshine shining on them. The elders slowly told stories of the past, while Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao listened quietly and smiled at each other from time to time.
Festivals are the most lively times at home. Children and grandchildren came back from all directions, and the small courtyard was instantly filled with laughter. The children were laughing and playing, surrounding their elders, and their sweet cries were heard everywhere.
Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao watched this scene, their hearts filled with happiness and satisfaction. This ordinary yet precious moment was the most valuable treasure in their lives.
It is Mid-Autumn Festival again. The moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the stone table in the courtyard, which is filled with exquisite moon cakes and fruits. The family sat together. Lu Tingxiao poured a cup of hot tea for the elders while Jiang Ruoxi carefully distributed mooncakes to the children. Everyone enjoyed the food and shared interesting things in life, having a great time.
Jiang Ruoxi looked at her family in front of her and said with emotion: "Looking back on the past, we have experienced so many ups and downs, but fortunately we are always together."
Lu Tingxiao held her hand and nodded gently: "Yes, in the days to come, we must continue like this and keep this warmth." Under the moonlight, the family's smiles were particularly bright. This love and happiness will also continue over the years and become eternal.
The late summer evening breeze slowly blows through the courtyard, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees. Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao sat side by side on the rattan chair, enjoying this rare comfort. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the two of them, outlining the outline of a peaceful life.
Jiang Ruoxi took a sip of tea, breaking the silence, her voice was a little playful: "Tingxiao, I have a secret that I haven't told you for so many years, do you know?"
Lu Tingxiao turned his head and looked at her tenderly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "I know."
Jiang Ruoxi was slightly startled, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Aren't you curious?"
Lu Tingxiao gently held her hands. Although his hands were no longer as delicate as when he was young, they were still warm and strong. He spoke slowly, his voice full of deep affection accumulated over the years: "When I was young, I might have been extremely curious, but at that time, I was too afraid that you would leave me because of my questioning. For so many years, you have always been by my side and never left. Compared to that secret, I care about you more, so I am not curious anymore."
Jiang Ruoxi felt warm in her heart. She leaned on Lu Tingxiao's shoulder and asked softly, "Do you still want to know this secret now?"
Lu Tingxiao patted her hands gently and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. As long as you are by my side, I can accept any secrets you have. In my heart, you are the most important."
Jiang Ruoxi raised her head, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes, and said softly: "Tingxiao, it's great to have you."
Lu Tingxiao put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her tightly. He said with emotion, "Being able to marry you is the greatest blessing of my life. From youth to old age, I have been through so much, but the only thing that has not changed is my love for you."
Under the watery moonlight, Jiang Ruoxi's expression became serious. She opened her red lips slightly and said, "But Tingxiao, I still want to tell you my secret. This secret has been hidden in my heart for too long. I don't want to hide it from you anymore."
Lu Tingxiao nodded slightly, his eyes full of concentration and trust, and responded gently: "You talk, I'm listening."
Jiang Ruoxi took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly: "Do you believe in rebirth?"
Lu Tingxiao pondered for a moment, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said, "Maybe I believe it. After all, there are too many things in this world that are difficult to explain with common sense."
Jiang Ruoxi's eyes were a little blurry, as if she was trapped in painful memories of the past: "I am Jiang Ruoxi, or maybe not Jiang Ruoxi. I should say I am a new Jiang Ruoxi. In my previous life, I was tortured and abused by Jiang Daguo. In the dark life, I never met you, and I couldn't find my biological parents. That family was so cruel that they tortured me in every way, ate my flesh, and sucked my blood. Before I was 40, I was tortured to death by them miserably."
Jiang Ruoxi paused for a moment, her eyes slightly reddened. Lu Tingxiao held her hand tightly, giving her silent comfort.
Jiang Ruoxi continued, "My soul was wandering in the world, but I was lucky enough to see the prosperity of my motherland in the future. But I was full of resentment in my heart. I thought I would keep wandering like this until my soul dissipated. But fate played tricks on me, and I didn't expect that God would give me a chance to be reborn. Later, I met you. Since meeting you, everything has slowly changed. I got the token of my recognition from Jiang Daguo. It was also a coincidence that my blood dripped into the wooden sign of recognition, and I found a spiritual spring space. I used the spiritual spring in the space to improve my physique. Later, I was afraid of being discovered by you, so I rarely used the spiritual spring space."
Lu Tingxiao frowned slightly, as if he remembered something, and asked, "When the Wen brothers and I were injured, was it you who saved us with the spiritual spring water in the spiritual spring space?"
Jiang Ruoxi nodded gently and admitted, "Yes, I added spiritual spring water to your food and drinking water."
"That's why we recovered so quickly, right?" Lu Tingxiao's eyes showed a hint of realization.
"Yeah." Jiang Ruoxi responded softly.
Lu Tingxiao hugged Jiang Ruoxi into his arms, his voice filled with gratitude and affection, "I really thank God for sending you to me, my dear, I only hope that we can be together in the next life, the next life, and the next life."
Jiang Ruoxi leaned in his arms, feeling the warmth and determination, and said softly: "Yes, we will always be together. Now that I have you and this magical space, all the sufferings I have endured in the past are insignificant. From now on, no matter what happens, we will face it together."
Lu Tingxiao let her go, held her face in his hands, and said seriously, "This spiritual spring space is your opportunity. You don't have to hide it from me anymore. If you need any help from me, just ask. We will protect this secret together."
Jiang Ruoxi's eyes were moist and she nodded heavily: "Okay, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
The two smiled at each other, feeling each other's heartbeats in this quiet night, as if time had stopped for them. Time may take away the youthful appearance, but it cannot take away the deep and passionate love between them. On this long journey of life, they have walked through the wind and rain hand in hand and basked in the sunshine together, and this feeling of mutual support will become the most precious wealth in their lives forever.
The moonlight shines on the embracing figures of the two. At this moment, time seems to stand still. There may be storms in the days ahead, but they rely on each other, and with the deep affection of life and death and the help brought by the spiritual spring space, they are brave enough to step into the unknown and write their own legend together.
