Chapter 128 Awakening from a Dream
Humans are very concrete creatures. They do not live in grand concepts, but live in one moment after another.
"I heard that memory is like a revolving lantern, with past experiences replaying in front of your eyes one by one."
"I think it would be very pitiful if a person found that there was no past to look back on at the moment of death."
Jiaying's eyelashes trembled like a panicked butterfly, and the teardrop mole under her eye looked like a tear.
He seemed to have listened to Ye Xiaoman's words, but he also seemed to be caught in an earthquake, shaken so much that he couldn't recover for a long time, and his words turned into an empty echo.
No one would say these words to him, no one wanted him to live out his useless self, they didn't even need him to think, they warned him again and again:
——My Lord Holy Son, you are a noble vessel, please remember your responsibilities.
Ye Xiaoman was still saying in my ear:
"In this youthful life, which comes only once, if success or failure is not a concern, even death is an honor, is there anything you absolutely must do, or someone you absolutely must love?"
“This is the meaning of enjoying life in the moment.”
Jiaying was stunned, squeezing out fragmented syllables from his throat: "I can't be so willful."
"I have no right, nor the qualifications, to deny the sacrifice you have made. It is because of your sacrifice that peace in the six realms is maintained."
Ye Xiaoman tilted her head to look at him.
"You're very capable and intelligent. I just think it would be perfect if you could find a way to fulfill your dream of saving lives while also preserving yourself and living your true self."
This statement is sincere and does not contain any blessing with a motive of attacking.
Jiaying is a nice person.
Xiao Chujing, as the male protagonist, is a bit stubborn and has flexible principles. He will adjust the world into an environment suitable for his survival. Those who want to cheat him will be cheated by him until they have nothing left.
Jiaying is a real pushover, a flower in a greenhouse. It is easy for others to set traps with high-sounding excuses and coax him to sacrifice for justice.
The original novel does not describe Jiaying in much detail, and Ye Xiaoman does not know much about him.
When he stood before her alive, she felt a sense of reality for him and could not help but feel some sympathy for him.
It's such a pity that a man with such a handsome face and figure died at such a young age.
After Ye Xiaoman finished pretending to be cool, she turned around and saw that Jiaying had a look of being slept with.
His teardrop mole was bright red, and even his pale lips were flushed. He looked at her infatuatedly, and it was obvious that he had been tortured by her, with his head high and facing her several times.
Therefore, people who lack love must not let Aquaman see the lack in their hearts, as they can easily fall for him with just a few words.
Especially those rich kids who lack love and are overwhelmed by responsibilities, as long as the bad girl says "I only care about whether you are happy or not", they will immediately be unable to accept it.
Look at Jiaying, this flower on the mountain top. He opened his legs after she said a few intimate words.
Jiaying asked, "Did you use all your money to keep the top prostitute in the bar?"
Ye Xiaoman panicked: "I said so much, and you only remember this sentence?"
"Those top girls are more attractive than your two husbands... and me?" Jiaying said coldly, "After all, you don't spend any money on us."
Ye Xiaoman scratched her head in confusion, "Not really..."
The main thing is that you can sleep with me for free.
Haven’t you seen that I’m so happy that I don’t even want to find anyone to spend money on?
Ye Xiaoman said affectionately: "That was all before I met you."
She immediately pulled out a bunch of candied haws from her bag and changed the subject, "I made these for you myself. These are candied hawthorns, candied strawberries, and candied mandarin oranges. They're cheaper and more delicious than those sold outside."
Jiaying carefully placed the snacks she gave him on his knees. He lowered his head and casually said, "Ye Xiaoman."
He didn't call her "wife" this time, and Ye Xiaoman straightened her back subconsciously because of the solemnity.
"If one day I get tired of my responsibilities, will you elope with me?"
Ye Xiaoman always kept in mind her affectionate personality, "If you still insist on doing this tomorrow when you wake up."
Jiaying picked out a candied hawthorn and tore open the candy wrapper. Ye Xiaoman kept telling him to do this and that after he sobered up, but he still felt confused and just didn't engage in a meaningless debate with her anymore.
He didn't think his feelings would change as the so-called love poison wore off. His heart was beating so violently and truly.
"Remember what you said today."
He licked the red syrup with the tip of his pink tongue, then bit open the hard candy shell with a crisp bite.
Rain, flowers, sugar, and her promise to elope.
"I have a very good memory."
Ye Xiaoman sneezed suddenly.
Why do I feel that Jiaying is not as innocent as he appears to be...
With this vigilance, after Ye Xiaoman returned home, when she slept in the same bed with Jiaying, she did not dare to tease him as boldly as before.
Jiaying still held her in his arms and slept.
He noticed her excessive restraint and pressed her head into his arms without paying much attention.
"God, it will be dawn soon."
"I can't wait to find out if I will become a different person as my wife said after I get rid of the love poison."
Oh, just don't cry then.
Ye Xiaoman calmed down and reviewed her actions in recent days. She really hadn't caused any trouble, so she went to sleep peacefully.
Perhaps both parties wanted to postpone the arrival of a certain moment, so the next day, they slept until noon before getting up.
Jiaying woke up first.
After he opened his eyes, he rested his face on the pillow, facing Ye Xiaoman, with a barely visible smile on his lips, looking at her sleeping appearance.
When she sleeps, she looks like a child.
Her face flushed, her fists clenched in vain, she would mutter some meaningless words in her sleep: "Pearl... Only the pears I hold in my hands truly belong to me..."
So cute.
Jiaying raised his fingertips and began to trace her facial features from the bridge of her nose, finally stopping at the tip of her slightly upturned nose.
His eyes fell on her cherry lips, and he sneaked closer little by little.
Just as his lips were about to touch hers, he suddenly came to his senses.
It felt like someone was pouring a bucket of ice water over a sleeping person.
The sleepiness suddenly disappeared and my rationality returned.
The bone-chilling cold spread to every part of his body.
Jiaying felt as if he had woken up from a long and beautiful dream, and the memories of the past three or four days flooded into his mind bit by bit.
The person in his memory was him, but he was so unfamiliar, doing things he would never do and saying lines that seemed creepy now.
Jiaying immediately let go of Ye Xiaoman in his arms. He suddenly lowered his head and saw Ye Xiaoman's disheveled body. He immediately jumped off the bed and covered his clothes in embarrassment.
Ye Xiaoman was awakened by his movement.
She sat up and saw Jiaying standing barefoot on the ground. When she met his cold and shocked eyes, she immediately knew that this guy had regained his consciousness.
She rubbed her face vigorously, trying to return to her usual best condition as quickly as possible.
After all, the show has to start again.
The kind that will lose the banquet if the performance is not good.
