Although Leng Yue likes Sai Hua Tuo very much, her attitude is quite puzzling.
She was clearly full of genuine affection, yet she rejected his kindness without explanation. I thought she was playing hard to get, but she took the dagger Shangguan Yan had given her and contemplated suicide.
Her thoughts, like her origins, are puzzling.
However, there is nothing wrong in liking Hua Tuo, right?
As long as you help me come back to life, I will help you and let you get what you want. How about that?
If you don't like to compete with Hua Tuo, it's not a bad idea to just put up with me.
I was resurrected as I wished. Sai Hua Tuo helped me up and said with a guilty look on his face: "Back then, I was sorry for what I did to you. Now..."
I smiled brightly: "As good as Hua Tuo, there is no need for further words between you and me."
If it weren't for you and Xing'er's true qi protecting me, I would have been reduced to ashes long ago, and how could I have waited until today to be resurrected?
I bowed to Leng Yue and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young lady."
"How do you thank me?" Leng Yue asked with a smile.
"Young lady, please speak."
She winked and said, "Just owe it for now."
Halfway through the dinner, Leng Yue left the room drunkenly, and I followed her. First I listened to a good show, and then I watched another good show.
"Yan'er... Yan'er! Miss Leng, you... Hey!"
My brother was in such a dilemma that I finally couldn't help but show up and said, "Brother, leave this to me."
I looked at my brother's back as he walked away, feeling both amused and sad: He's still as chubby as when he was little. Shangguan Yan, oh Shangguan Yan, it's such a shame for you to be with him.
Leng Yue was drunk and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He recognized me with his drunken eyes: "Mr. Nong Yue?"
"Not bad, not drunk yet," I said.
"Me? ...I'm awake! ...Burp..." This sudden burp nearly made me pass out. I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything out of her if she's this drunk. It would be better to take her back to her room first.
Unexpectedly, Leng Yue shook her head vigorously: "I'm not going back!... Eh? You're not with... Sai Huatuo...?"
Strange, why should I be with Sai Huatuo?
After helping her sit down at the corridor, I asked tentatively, "Don't you have something to talk to me about?"
She looked surprised: "How... did you know?"
I was helpless about this. Her expression was so obvious, did she really expect me not to see it? Besides, I was very curious about what kind of unreasonable request she would make.
She said, "When you come back this time... don't think about sacrificing yourself to save someone else... it's better to work together... and unite..."
My heart tightened. Sacrifice myself to save whom? She even knew that on the eve of White Dew, I kicked my brother out of my revenge plan and gave him the Ice Silkworm Armor? There's no way anyone else could know this except me! Unless... she was once a ghost like me, or truly a reincarnated immortal with the ability to see into the past.
Why not work together? This meant she was trying to stop me from risking my life like last time. So, she knew everything about me, my personality, my plans, my failures, everything about me.
"That's all? Nothing else?" I asked.
Leng Yue pretended to be drunk and said, "This... is very important! You... have to agree to it..."
A warm feeling welled up from the depths of his heart. He had never shown her any favor, yet she received such care. When Sai Huatuo and the others first met her, they must have felt warmed by her care and love, right? Although, this kind of care was somewhat unexpected.
I must figure this all out.
The next day, I finally found out everything, but the answer was not what I wanted.
A story judged by others, a fictional era. Love and hate, a life at the mercy of others. All of this is truly too hard to accept.
Leng Yue hugged me and comforted me softly. But there were only three words in my mind: Why?
Why did this happen? If all this was just a story, why did the person who wrote it want to kill my entire family? Why did he arrange for me to have such a miserable life? Why? Why was my life being manipulated like this? Why on earth?
"Since everything has happened, there's no point in thinking too much. I shouldn't have said these things to make you sad. I'm sorry. It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Good brother, don't scare me, don't do anything stupid, promise me, okay?"
"Good brother, I'm here. I'll protect you. You and your brother will never be hurt again. Good brother, don't be sad, okay?"
I raised my eyelids and saw Sai Huatuo standing far away in a corner, with a look of loss and loneliness.
Sai Hua Tuo loved her so much, yet he didn't realize that he himself was empty. If one is empty, how can a feeling even more ethereal than oneself bring peace of mind? Leng Yue's escape was merely the only well-intentioned effort she could make in her confusion.
"Sister, Nong Yue finally understands your painstaking efforts to compete with Hua Tuo," I said.
Leng Yue squeezed my shoulder with a serious face: "Nong Yue, now that you know the secret, you must never take life and death lightly, and you must not do anything stupid!"
I smiled bitterly and said, "What about my sister? Doesn't she do stupid things again and again?"
"I just want to go home."
"Sister, are you really willing to compete with Hua Tuo?"
"A short pain is worse than a long pain."
It's clearly someone else's feelings, but at this moment, they sting my heart. Long-lasting pain? Short-term pain? Nonsense.
I frowned and said coldly, "As smart as you are, you actually believe the nonsense that a short pain is worse than a long one? Do you think that if you reject Sai Huatuo, he will no longer be moved by you? Do you think that if you leave, Sai Huatuo will forget you? Some people have never said they love you, but they have been loving you with their lives; some people have never really been together, but once you miss each other, it will be a lifetime of pain!"
After saying that, I stood up. Tonight, the stars were beautiful, just like the sweet smile on Xing'er's face when she said her last words in Chunfengdeyi Palace: "Xing'er will always be yours."
Xing'er, all your spiritual energy and true energy have been integrated into my body. You are truly the one who plays with the moon, always have been and will always be.
"Nong Yue, I'm sorry for reminding you of Xing'er."
I wasn't surprised at all by Leng Yue's words. Perhaps the author of the story had also included this line. Otherwise, how would she have known about it?
"Sister, you understand Nong Yue very well. Since you know Nong Yue's feelings for Xing'er, I believe you will understand even better how Sai Hua Tuo feels about you."
"Sai Hua Tuo, huh," Leng Yue said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid Sai Hua Tuo is even younger than you."
"Sister and Sai Huatuo are a perfect match. Why do you have to be so obsessed with age?"
"It's not that I'm obsessed with age, it's just that I can't get over this hurdle in my heart." Leng Yue said.
"Can the age gap really affect the relationship between two people?"
"The age gap may not affect the relationship between two people, but, in the eyes of others..."
"Since we truly love each other, why should we be afraid of rumors?"
"Don't ask any more questions! Anyway, it's impossible for Sai Huatuo and I to be together."
She left so stubbornly, because her relationship couldn't end well, and she no longer had the courage to start again.
Suddenly I feel that life would be really boring if I knew the answer early on.
Sai Huatuo is really a jealous person.
That night, he frowned and said congratulations to me. I laughed in silence: Why should I be happy?
He smiled with pretentiousness, "A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. Nong Yue and Leng Yue are truly a match made in heaven. Ouyang wishes you all the best tomorrow."
I suddenly became interested: "Hahahaha! Sai Hua Tuo, you and I have always been rivals, why are you backing off this time? Since a gentleman loves a beautiful lady, how about we have a gentlemanly competition?"
Sai Huatuo shook his head: "People are not objects, I don't want to fight for them tomorrow. What's more, Leng Yue is in love with you, and you also like Leng Yue. I will never take away someone's love tomorrow."
"That's not what you said when you were pursuing the Dragon Goddess."
"One time, another time."
I laughed my heart out. Sure enough, Hua Tuo is even cuter when he's drunk.
"Why do you always have to leave? Is there no one or anything here worth your nostalgia?!"
"Sir, you are not... drunk..."
Before he finished speaking, Sai Huatuo's lips were already firmly pressed against Leng Yue's. At that moment, I looked at him with new eyes. A man should be like this, relying on actions instead of words.
Who would have thought that after sobering up, he was extremely jealous but also very timid. Suddenly, a plan came to his mind.
Since you two have feelings for each other, it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to be your matchmaker.
"In that case, why not test her feelings?"
