Although Su Jingsheng was joking, he was also genuinely curious.
In the past few years, he has been given many arrangements and allowed to choose from various young ladies from wealthy families, but she is not moved at all. Now, even his father and mother have completely given up on him.
Su Jingshuo pretended to glance at Xiao Lingling casually, and seeing her happy expression after catching the fish, he subconsciously curled his lips.
It’s not that he didn’t want to look for her, but he found that after meeting Xiao Lingling, everyone else was no longer worthy of his attention.
It’s not that they are not good enough, but that there is no room for them in his heart.
I used to feel sad, but now after seeing her smiling face for a long time, I think it’s pretty good.
At least she was truly happy, and he was content.
Therefore, he had long given up the idea of getting married. After all, he had a godson, so he was not alone anymore.
He persisted in this way for decades afterwards.
Until he grew old, until the last moment of his life, he never looked back.
At the last moment, there was no one by his bed except Xiao Lingling, who was holding a teacup and feeding him water.
Even though she is getting older, the little bell is still so radiant in his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.
"Xiao Lingling, if there really is an afterlife, I will definitely find you before him. When the time comes, you will also love me, okay?"
Little Bell looked at his affectionate eyes and felt very sad.
How could she tell him that she would never have another life?
At this moment, she didn't want him to leave with regrets, so she nodded.
"Okay, if there is a next life, I'll wait for you to come find me."
Su Jingshuo immediately smiled brightly and raised his hand to hold Xiao Lingling's hand. This was the hand-holding he had been looking forward to for so many years, and it really made him very happy.
"Okay, then it's settled. Don't worry, I will definitely come find you. You must remember to wait for me!
I, I will go ahead and see how wonderful the next life is for you."
Little Bell nodded, "Okay, I will definitely wait for you!"
Finally, Su Jingshuo left with a smile on his face, comforted by Xiao Lingling.
Little Bell was really sad for several days.
Although she has always been slow in dealing with emotional matters, she had long noticed the difference in Su Jingshuo's attitude towards her.
She tried many ways to help him find happiness again, but all failed.
She always felt that she owed him something, although many things were not something she could decide.
However, it is impossible for her to repay his love in this life. She can only hope that he can meet a woman who shares his feelings in the next life and live a happy life.
To be safe, Xiao Lingling even went to great lengths to gain insight into the secrets of fate. Only after she was sure that everything would go well for him in his next life did she completely relax.
But the meaning of life is constant reunion and goodbye.
There are always people meeting each other, and there are always people saying goodbye.
Over the years, she watched her relatives and friends gradually pass away, and she seemed to become numb.
It was not until Chu Yu fell in front of her that she felt the heartache again.
Chu Yu was not afraid of death, but he looked at Xiao Lingling with a reluctant look.
Little Bell half hugged him and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt."
Chu Yu was not worried about this. Instead, he looked at Xiao Lingling persistently, "I heard it that day. You promised him your next life, so can you not forget me? I can protect you, just like he protects you, okay? Don't forget me!"
Xiao Lingling was stunned for a moment, then she realized what he said and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She didn't know how to explain that she couldn't reincarnate, so she could only comfort him as she did before.
"Don't worry. I won't forget you, ever. Don't be afraid!"
Chu Yu laughed when he heard her words.
"That's good, that's good. As long as you remember me, I will have no regrets.
Ling'er, I am really very happy to have you by my side in this life.
Thank you for giving me a fulfilling life!"
How could Chu Yu's feelings for Xiao Lingling be so deep that they could not be expressed in just a few words?
Xiao Lingling has deeply experienced this in her life over the past few decades.
Of course she understood how deep that love was.
Chu Yu closed his eyes and looked straight at Xiao Lingling until the very end. His eyes seemed to want to carve her into his soul.
After he left, Xiao Lingling just put him gently on the bed.
She turned around and called all the children in.
Now she has many children and grandchildren. The children all have red eyes, and you can imagine how sad they are.
"Okay, stop crying, your father and I have lived a happy life and have no regrets.
We are all very content, so you don’t need to be sad.
Now, I am leaving with your father. I will stay with him, so don't worry.
Please take good care of yourselves. I am very happy and satisfied to be your mother.
The box over there contains the last thing I can leave for you. It's up to you to decide how to use it.
We'll be buried together later. Hasn't the cemetery been chosen? I don't need to tell you anything.
Okay, I've said everything I wanted to say. You can go out now. Come back in half an hour to help me and your father clean up.
Goodbye, children."
After saying that, she didn't care what they said and just lay down next to Chu Yu.
As soon as he raised his hand, everyone was pushed out of the door by a gust of wind, and the door slammed shut.
Everyone wanted to keep her, but she didn't even give them a chance.
In fact, she could have left long ago, but she had left a small portion of merit unrefined.
Once she has accumulated all the merits and refined her golden body, she can directly return to her true form and then wait for the opportunity to leap over the Dragon Gate.
She grabbed Chu Yu's hand and began to refine the merits with her spiritual consciousness.
A quarter of an hour later, a red light appeared, just like the vision that appeared when she was reborn. All the people waiting outside knelt on the ground.
In just a blink of an eye, Xiao Lingling opened her eyes again.
However, the scene before her was the forest where she had transformed.
She could clearly feel that she was back!
This is the real fairyland, no longer her small space.
She quickly came to the spirit pond, and through the reflection, she could see that she still looked the same as before.
If it weren't for the changes in her consciousness and those memories, she would have thought that all this was just a dream!
And in the other part of the forest, at the end of the sea, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred. A dazzling blue light shot out from the sea, and the sea water continued to surge, attracting the attention of many people.
"Ah. Oh my god, the sleeping prince in the Dragon Palace has finally woken up!"
