...
"You can be truly gentle when you're gentle, and truly ruthless when you're ruthless..."
It was already the morning of the second day, and the first rays of dawn were rising. Walking along the path in the sparsely populated Juxia City Cemetery, Lena held a bouquet of white flowers and couldn't help but recall the scene from the previous afternoon.
"This has nothing to do with me."
Qilin, who was also holding flowers, murmured something she had heard from Lena, something someone had said.
“That’s typical of him.” She smacked her lips and then nodded. “He can always hurt people deeply with the simplest words, as long as he’s not willing to waste time on it.”
She looked at Wang Ji, whose expression was calm, with a touch of emotion. He was dressed in white and carrying a bunch of new items for tomb sweeping, standing between her and Lena.
“I’ve always felt that he loves me more and more not because I’m so great,” Qi Lin glanced at Lena on Wang Ji’s side, raised her eyebrows and said, “but because in his heart, I’m his little wife… Do you understand that feeling?”
Everyone else is an outsider.
"I roughly... understand." Lena's mind raced for a moment before she finally grasped what Qilin meant, then she added, "I always felt that I lost to you because I'm an alien, and because of the order of arrival..."
"Who knows?" Qi Lin glanced at Wang Ji, who remained expressionless, and shook her head slightly. "The passionate are often cold-hearted. He's not exactly cold-hearted, but sometimes he's too clear-cut, which is a pain in the neck."
Sigh... Thinking about all the effort you went through, I'm truly blessed to have even managed to politely decline his offer once... Tsk tsk~
“You think he came here at this time to hide…” Lena said cautiously.
“No…” Qi Lin shook her head directly: “He has nothing else on his mind right now. This must have been a planned itinerary for him long ago.”
Even without this incident, he could still sit in the cabin eating popcorn and drag me along to watch the show, completely carefree.
“Okay…” Lena shook her head: “Think about it carefully, how much effort did I put in back then?”
After chatting for a short while, Qilin and Lena stopped talking much as they continued their journey.
Anyway, this is the first time...meeting the parents.
Before long, they arrived at a tombstone for a joint burial.
"Dad, Mom, I've come to see you again..."
This was probably Wang Ji's first sentence after entering the cemetery area.
"These two are my girlfriends... her name is Qilin, her name is Lena, yes... both of them."
He seemed to be earnestly introducing himself to his parents, as if they were still alive. He spoke without the slightest hesitation.
While talking, he put his things aside and knelt on the ground to clear away some weeds and trash in a small area near the tombstone.
He did it so skillfully that he didn't even tell Qilin and Lena what to do.
But the two of them just silently bent down to help.
"I've been coming more often lately, but the world is changing so fast that I haven't had time to tell you about... aliens, super soldiers, gods, and things like that."
He cleaned very carefully and was very patient when wiping the tombstone.
"The world has changed...and I have changed too. I won't go into the other things you might not understand, but our house is back, Uncle...I know you might blame me, Mom, so I didn't pursue the matter."
My younger cousins are still young, and I don't care about such a small grudge, so I'll just let it go.
"The main reason I'm here is to tell you that I have a girlfriend, and I brought her to meet you. This is something I promised you before... Of course, she's not my wife yet."
But I think it's all the same; she can't escape this fate in this lifetime, whether she likes it or not. I feel she has accepted her destiny.
Hmm... I'm talking about this black-haired one. I can't beat the other one yet, so I won't say I'm that confident. She's an empress, and she's not one to give up easily; she's a god.
Anyway... I'm not alone anymore.
"In the future, I will try my best... I will bring them with me in the future. If we are all alive and well, maybe we can have more children."
"There's going to be a war... so I came at this time. I asked for leave, I asked Lena for leave, I wrote a report, and she approved it."
I will go to the battlefield, do what I must do, and I will not let you down.
He seemed to have done cleaning the grave many times before, so skilled at it.
Qilin and Lena didn't help with this matter; in fact, there wasn't much they could do at the moment.
She simply watched him silently, quietly wiping away the moisture from the corner of her eyes.
After Wang Ji finished everything else, they placed the flowers they had brought in front of the tombstone.
"You don't need to kneel."
Before he knelt down, he saw Qi Lin about to bend her knees and gave her a special instruction.
Girlfriends and wives are not the same.
One kneeling and three kowtows.
When he finally stood up, he helped up Qi Lin, who had also quietly knelt down, and then pulled Lena, who was about to kneel again. She looked at him with a slightly puzzled expression: "There are still six kowtows left."
“Most Chinese people nowadays are like me,” Wang Ji said, looking at her with a complicated expression.
Gently brush away the dust and grass clippings from her forehead, and smooth her hair.
Even Qi Lin shouldn't kneel... let alone the chief god of this civilization.
“That won’t do… We Lieyang people bow and kowtow three times and nine times when we pay respects to our parents.” She shook her head and looked at Wang Ji seriously, saying, “You can’t be lazy.”
That day was also the first time Qi Lin learned about the three bows and nine kowtows, and the first time she realized how serious Lena was.
That adorable goddess, it turns out, can also be aggrieved and act cute:
"You're not allowed to say that to me anymore... I've already decided you're the one for me~"
