As it turns out, no amount of persuasive talk can rouse someone who has been obsessed with love for thousands of years.
Song Mengmeng couldn't persuade Bai Suzhen, who was hopelessly in love, and Bai Suzhen naturally couldn't make the little Pixiu experience her heart-wrenching pain. So, in the end, they could only part on bad terms.
Song Mengmeng left the flower shop and soon arrived at Yan Di's office.
However, because of her previous encounter with Bai Suzhen, the little girl was now sitting on the sofa looking rather listless and lacking energy, which surprised Yan Di, who had just finished his routine meeting and entered the room.
"What's wrong?" Yan Di put down the documents in his hand, turned around and sat down next to Song Mengmeng. He picked up the soft little bundle and placed her on his lap before asking her in a low voice what was wrong.
Judging from his appearance, he must have suffered some injustice somewhere!
"When I came to find you, I met someone." Song Mengmeng raised her eyes slightly. Although she didn't look too well, she still told Yan Di everything that had happened on her way here.
"I don't understand why she's been so fixated on something so simple for over a thousand years, still so stubbornly clinging to her beliefs!"
Although it is said that the soul can be reincarnated!
However, from the moment a soul crosses the River of Three Crossings, crosses the Bridge of Helplessness, and drinks the Meng Po soup, all past events become like smoke and clouds, and what awaits each soul is a new beginning!
In other words, whether it's the little shepherd boy or Xu Xian, each reincarnation means that the soul is striving for a new life, but Bai Suzhen just can't let go!
She insisted on clinging to this obsession, dragging him along relentlessly!
“We can’t understand this.” Emperor Yan was slightly taken aback. He was somewhat surprised that the little girl would meet her. What surprised him even more was that the little girl’s views on this matter were completely beyond his expectations.
He originally thought the little girl would be moved by the story, but he didn't expect her reaction to this matter to be so calm and rational, even to the point of being frightening.
"After all, we are neither demons nor humans! We cannot understand the frustration and pain they felt about unrequited love. But if we consider it from an emotional perspective, you can't say that Bai Suzhen's obsession was wrong."
Whether it was the shepherd boy, Xu Xian, or the destined person Bai Suzhen waited for in life after life, it was less about her falling in love with a human and more about her falling in love with her own obsession.
She was so immersed in the beauty of their past relationship that she couldn't extricate herself; even though the world still holds mixed opinions about her relationship with Xu Xian, in her heart, this relationship was without regret!
That's why she's been unable to escape it, endlessly wandering through this world, searching for it for thousands of years without ever giving up...
She's just a demon who fell in love with love.
"Sweetie, don't think about it so much! You're not the matchmaker, these kinds of romantic things don't affect our lives." Yan Di reached out and ruffled Song Mengmeng's hair, coaxing her in a low voice to change the subject: "I had Assistant Ming make a reservation, shall we go eat hot pot in a bit?"
"Spicy, please!" Sure enough, no amount of melancholy can compare to a hot pot meal to change the subject. If one meal isn't enough, then two will surely do!
If nothing unexpected happens, this matter can indeed be put to rest.
After all, there are quite a few monsters in this world, and there's even a nine-tailed fox demon currently working as Song Mengmeng's stylist! What's more, she'll encounter Bai Suzhen as well!
However, the world is full of surprises and coincidences.
Song Mengmeng never expected that she would get involved again because of a pair of jade Pixiu that carried the owner's good wishes!
It was a token of love between an unmarried young couple.
However, this relationship had only just begun, yet it was already in danger of being ruthlessly severed midway! Therefore, the resentment and grievances of the two little Pixiu were naturally directed at Song Mengmeng, the person in question.
It's like a kid who can't win a fight and has to go home and call their parents...
However, it was precisely because of this reminder from the jade Pixiu that Song Mengmeng remembered that their Pixiu, it seemed, also governed matters of marriage...
Now that she had accepted their offerings and received their faith, she couldn't just ignore it.
But this investigation led them back to an old acquaintance.
Actually, the story is quite simple. It just so happens that the young man in this couple is the very person Bai Suzhen has been waiting for.
However, unlike the touching reunion scene that Bai Suzhen had anticipated, this Xu Xian borrowed an umbrella from her. But this act of borrowing the umbrella did not rekindle their past romance; rather, it was to keep his fiancée, who was still waiting in the subway station, from getting wet in the rain…
Xu Xian's thoughts were always focused on his lover in this life. He never imagined that his act of simply buying flowers for his fiancée's birthday and borrowing an umbrella would lead him to a so-called predestined relationship from a previous life that he never thought possible!
The destined person she had been searching for for hundreds of years gave her such a shocking surprise on the very day they met. How could Bai Suzhen possibly accept this?!
If that girl is Seohyun's lover, then what is she?!
So, in a fit of rage, Bai Suzhen didn't give the two any time to react and kidnapped them! Now, the young couple has been out of contact with their family for more than three days.
The families on both sides, driven to desperation, naturally called the police. Unfortunately, with a powerful demon like Bai Suzhen involved, and few mortals possessing the true power of Fahai, they have yet to find out the truth.
Song Mengmeng sighed, turned her head to look at the endless autumn rain outside the window, frowned and stood up. She called Yan Di to explain the situation, and without further hesitation, quickly packed her things, left the community, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Hangzhou, which was not far from the city of Shang.
No matter how the stories are sung in traditional operas, everything eventually returns to its original form!
For example, the beginning of the love story between Lady White Snake and Xu Xian – borrowing an umbrella at West Lake.
According to Bai Suzhen's obsession, no matter where she meets her destined person in this life, she will eventually return to the West Lake in Hangzhou to continue the marriage she has longed for in her previous life!
It's a pity that Xu Xian is no longer the Xu Xian of yesteryear. Time has passed and the world has changed. In this life, he already has a fiancée he loves. This life's marriage is perfect, and there is no need for Bai Suzhen's self-righteous forced binding!
