Chapter 50 End of Text This promise, there will always be...
Sale and purchase does not affect the right of residence.
The contract that Mingjing Lake Resort signed with Gao Xing was for one year, and there are still three months left. So even if Shen Xingjian impatiently spends a lot of money to buy back Villa No. 1, Gao Xing still has the right to live here.
"On the count of three, let go!"
On the second floor, in the happy room, she was wrapped in the quilt by Shen Xingjian like a silkworm chrysalis, unable to move.
"No." Shen Xingjian held her waist like a scoundrel, his voice hoarse from not waking up yet, "Beat me to death if you dare."
Happy:"……"
Did this person only grow taller in the past ten years, but not mentally at all?
"I need to ask for leave from work today." Gao Xing turned her head and looked at the man who hadn't opened his eyes beside the pillow, trying to reason with him.
At the beginning of the month, Gao Xing took the sanatorium's recruitment exam and became a full-time employee. Not only did her income double, but she also got annual leave. She planned to take this opportunity to go to Xijiang and finish her business there.
The only response she received was the sound of even breathing.
Gao Xing couldn't bear it any longer and knocked his head on his forehead. Shen Xingjian felt pain and looked like "How could you really murder your husband?"
"We agreed that the first floor was yours and the second floor was mine. Can't you just go back to your own room and sleep?"
Shen Xingjian was determined to deny the debt, and his eyes wandered as he said, "How many years ago was that? Besides, this is my home, I can sleep wherever I want!"
Gao Xing reminded him: "To be precise, this is my house first, and then your home."
He shook his finger. "No. This was my home first, then it became your house, and now it's mine again."
Gao Xing saw that he was smiling like he deserved a beating, and snorted in displeasure.
However, Shen Xingjian “put aside past grudges” and hugged the person into his arms, “But, to be more precise, this is your home now.”
"What do you mean?" Gao Xing was puzzled.
Shen Xingjian smiled, fumbled for the phone on the bedside, and pulled out the real estate information for her to see.
The property owner of Villa No. 1 in Mingjing Lake Resort clearly has two names written on it: Shen Xingjian and Gao Xing.
"This is not a small amount of money. Aren't you afraid that I will take away your property one day?" Gao Xing said deliberately.
"It just so happens that I have quite a bit of money now, so go ahead and take it! I'll make it back in minutes after you take it!" Shen Xingjian didn't care.
This is really not Shen Xingjian bragging. His parents left him a huge trust. After surviving, he quickly took advantage of the development of high-tech. His new project was favored by Dongshan Group. Now he is the boss of a large-scale technology company, even more so than Xu Jiakai before.
Gao Xing snorted disdainfully, and felt a surge of class sentiment towards the arrogance of capitalism.
In the past ten years, not only has Shen Xingjian's fate undergone earth-shaking changes, but many minor changes have also changed Gao Xing's life trajectory.
For example, in her original time and space, her novel "Feng Yue" was successfully published and sold the film and television rights. But now, without Shi Yunran's promotion, her novel was rejected by the publishing house during its subsequent self-inspection, and the copyright fees she received disappeared without a trace, leaving Gao Xing with a lot less money in her account.
The key point is that she has no memory of this incident and it was just a dream. When she woke up and checked, the money was really gone!
However, what she encountered was not all negative optimization. Fortunately, Zhou Jinkai's life was also rewritten.
Without Xu Jiakai's interference, he obtained the invitation to the auction step by step, exposed Li Siping's crimes in person, and submitted all the evidence to the police, putting an end to his twenty years of suffering.
There are also Qianchuan and Nianji. Somehow, they suddenly fell in love with each other, and without those messy misunderstandings, they are together now.
Except for the fact that she lost a lot of money, everything was going well.
The morning light was dim, and through the gaps in the curtains, the sun cast warm strips of light on the wooden floor.
Shen Xingjian held the person in his arms, was silent for a moment, and rubbed Gao Xing’s head with his chin: “Glad…”
"Hmm?" Gao Xing responded lazily. The clean and refreshing scent of him lingered around her nose, making her feel extremely at ease.
“Can I…” Shen Xingjian paused, as if considering his words, and finally expressed his concern, “Let me accompany you to Xijiang?”
He knew what that place meant to Gao Xing, the heavy past, the childhood she felt owed, and the years of hardship. He had witnessed how the little girl struggled to survive in poverty, how she was hurt by her loved ones, and how she climbed out step by step...
That feeling of powerlessness had deeply burned him. Now, she wanted to go back and end it all with her own hands, which was tantamount to tearing open the scabbed scar again with blood.
He hoped that this time he could be by her side, give her a hug to lean on when she felt pain, and hold her hand tightly when she needed strength...
He wanted her to know that from now on, she was no longer alone.
Gao Xing heard the guilt and heartache in his tone, raised her head, and gently stroked his slightly furrowed brow with her fingertips.
"Shen Xingjian," her voice was light, with a sense of relief about the past, "those are my past, my life lessons. They happened before I met you and have nothing to do with you. You don't need to feel any burden about them."
However, looking at his eyes that were still filled with worry and persistence, Gao Xing suddenly smiled, with the corners of her eyes curved softly, like petals covered with dew in the early morning.
She leaned closer and stroked his chin, which was slightly covered with stubble, with her fingertips, her tone light but sincere:
"But—" she drawled, "I think I'd be braver if you came with me."
Shen Xingjian stared at her, and couldn't help but tighten his arms, hugging Gao Xing deeper into his arms.
There is no need for any more words, the surging love has already flowed between the touching skin and entangled in the intertwined breaths.
The room was filled with a huge and quiet happiness.
…
Everything went smoothly on the way to Xijiang.
A long time ago, Gao Xing had thought that one day she would take back those things that originally belonged to her.
After Gao Xing was born, the village distributed land, and as a member of the village collective, she was allotted a plot of land. While nominally hers, Gao's parents had always farmed it. Later, during rural economic reforms, Gao's parents transferred the land and pocketed all the rent they earned, never giving Gao Xing a cent.
Before, she only wanted to escape, the farther the better, so she gave them room to exploit her power. But now, since they didn't want her to have an easy life, then no one should have an easy life either.
Gao Xing went with his lawyer. He first went to the village to verify the ownership and obtain evidence. Then he found the farmer who had contracted the land and explained the situation. He left proof of the remittances he had made to Gao's parents over the years. Finally, he brought all the documents and a complaint to the farmer's house to demand the money back.
Gao's father and mother had never seen such a scene before, and they wanted to throw a tantrum immediately, but when they saw Shen Xingjian standing up behind Gao Xing, they suddenly turned off their anger.
Who knows if he brought a gun this time?
In the eyes of Gao's parents, Gao Xing had hooked up with the powerful people in the big villa in southern Beijing and could crush them with just a flick of the finger, so they didn't dare to do anything rash. They honestly returned the money and cooperated with Gao Xing to transfer their household registration.
On the way from the county seat to Xijiang City, Shen Xingjian couldn't help but feel annoyed at the handsome lawyer who had made such a great contribution throughout the journey. Along the way, the handsome lawyer single-handedly solved 80% of the problems, Gao Xing handled the remaining 20%, and he, like a pendant, was completely insignificant.
"Lawyer Jiang, thank you so much this time for personally accompanying us on this trip." In the business car, Gao Xing sincerely thanked Jiang Bai who was sitting next to him.
"Miss Gao, you're too polite. Since I've accepted your commission, it's my duty." Jiang Bai curved his lips with great refinement. "What's more, I'd like to trouble you to take good care of my grandmother in the nursing home."
Jiang Bai is the grandson of the grandmother who suffers from Alzheimer's disease in the nursing home. That grandmother was also Gao Xing's first patient in the nursing home.
Some time ago, when chatting, Grandma Guo heard that she was planning to find a lawyer to solve the land problem in her hometown, so she enthusiastically recommended her grandson, saying that her grandson was very capable and would definitely be able to get the job done.
Gao Xing searched online for the law firm where Jiang Bai worked and found out that it was one of the largest firms in southern Beijing.
However, Shen Xingjian said that civil law and commercial law are very different. Jiang Bai's law firm mainly deals with listing and mergers and acquisitions, which is not professionally related and is unlikely to take on such a small case, so he went to find other professional lawyers.
Who would have thought that the next day, Jiang Bo actually called and said that his grandmother had ordered him to help Gao Xing with the matter, so he had to bother her. After learning the details of the case, Jiang Bo said it was not difficult and asked her to give him a chance to satisfy the old lady.
Since he had said so much, I couldn't refuse and just agreed.
Before meeting Jiang Bo in person, Shen Xingjian was very normal. But after discovering that he was young, promising and handsome, he suddenly turned into an old vinegar spirit, with a sour smell all over his body.
In the rearview mirror outside the window, on the front seat, Shen Xingjian would secretly roll his eyes every time Jiang Bai said something. Gao Xing couldn't help but want to laugh every time he saw him like this.
"Ahem..." She cleared her throat, rolled down the window, and suggested, "Since we're here, I heard there's a really authentic Xijiang restaurant near the high-speed rail station. Why don't we have dinner there before we leave? It'll be a way of thanking Lawyer Jiang for all his hard work along the way."
Jiang Bai knew that she was just being polite, so he didn't refuse.
Although Shen Xingjian was reluctant, he politely did not express any objection.
“You did it on purpose, you must have done it on purpose!” When getting off the car, Jiang Bai was in front, and Shen Xingjian complained behind Gao Xing.
"How did I do it on purpose? Isn't it good enough for me to treat you to a meal?" Gao Xing felt wronged.
"Are you treating me? You're treating your lawyer Jiang!" Shen Xingjian muttered, "You knew I couldn't handle spicy food, yet you suggested this? You did it on purpose!"
Gaoxing wanted to laugh, but she held it back and ignored him.
This restaurant advertises Xijiang cuisine, but in reality, it serves a modified version. Gao Xing had searched for a long time before finally finding this authentic restaurant that Shen Xingjian could eat at. Just booking a table cost her a fortune! And he's still ignoring her kindness!
After getting the menu and seeing the optional spiciness level on it, Shen Xingjian realized that he had wronged Gao Xing. He felt guilty but also secretly proud.
Sure enough, she was still thinking about herself!
Gao Xing picked out a few famous dishes, ordered a few spicy ones and a few non-spicy ones, and handed the menu to the waiter.
After the waiter got the menu, someone came in soon to add tea. Gao Xing looked up and saw a very familiar face.
Gao Lai'nan didn't expect to see Gao Xing here.
Speaking of which, Gao Xing didn't see Gao Lai'nan this time when she returned to Xijiang. The last time Gao's father and mother came to her house to cause trouble, Gao Lai'nan didn't come either.
With outsiders present, Gao Xing was not in a position to ask her directly. She glanced at Shen Xingjian, who immediately received the message and started chatting with Jiang Bai. Gao Xing then left the private room and found an open space outside to talk with Gao Lainan.
"Do you work in this store?" Gao Xing asked knowingly because Gao Lainan was wearing the store's uniform.
Gao Lai'nan is fifteen years old this year and can already find a job in the city of Xijiang.
"What's it to you?" Gao Lai'nan's attitude was not very good.
The affection between them was so weak that it could almost be said that Gao Xing would not act like an older sister to her. But as a woman, born in the same family, and enduring the same pain, she certainly couldn't completely ignore her situation.
"I won't care about you, but if you still want to go to school, I can lend you money." Gao Xing said calmly.
"No need! Stop pretending here!" Gao Lainan turned his face away.
She knew clearly that she was different from Gao Xing. She was not cut out for studying and would still have to work even after graduating from vocational high school.
Seeing her like this, Gao Xing didn't force her. He went to the front desk and got a piece of paper with his phone number and address, then stuffed it into Gao Lainan's hand and said, "This promise will always be valid."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the restaurant.
Gao Lai'nan stood behind her, holding the piece of paper tightly in his hand, and for the first time, an expression of happiness appeared on his stubborn face.
"It wasn't me!" she cried. "I didn't tell them where you lived...!"
Because before that, Gao Lai'nan had already escaped.
Gao Xing knew that if it were her, Gao's father and mother would definitely bring her along. After all, they even brought the young Yaozu, which clearly meant they wanted to rely on her.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Gao Xing turned around, curled the corners of his lips, and smiled at his sister for the first time.
After dinner, I left the restaurant and took the high-speed train from Xijiang back to Jingnan. I happily looked out the window at the rapidly receding mountains and the blue sky, feeling as if I were in another world.
The first time she left Xijiang, she took the green train, thinking she would never come back. This time, she had someone to accompany her, and she was no longer afraid or anxious, and her heart became peaceful.
Perhaps one day in the future, Gao Lainan will also embark on this journey and start a life that truly belongs to her.
The journey of life is one that you don’t realize while you are experiencing it, but when you look back you realize that you have been walking for a long time.
"Shen Xingjian, I want to donate all the money I'm going to get to the girls who are still unable to escape." Gao Xing turned around by the car window and said to Shen Xingjian beside her. Shen Xingjian slowly moved over, put his arm around her shoulders, and gently placed her head on his shoulder, "Your money, you decide for yourself."
Gao Xing moved his head and said, "When I was a child, I also received donations from an older sister. She wrote to me and said that life is long, and no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, they will eventually pass. As long as you don't give up, the thorns on the road will become medals, and I will definitely get what I want."
Shen Xingjian rubbed her hair, “Who told you that he is a sister?”
Gao Xing straightened up and emphasized, "The handwriting on that letter is very beautiful, and there's even a sunflower at the end of it!"
A smile played on the corner of Shen Xingjian’s mouth, “I’ll take it as you are praising me.”
Gao Xing finally reacted and opened his eyes wide, "You???"
Perhaps in the original timeline, the letter was written by another kind-hearted person, but Gao Xing had lived such a hard life before, and Shen Xingjian couldn't bear to just watch. So he secretly donated a lot of money to local charities, hoping that some of the money would be sent to Gao Xing.
He wrote that letter based on what Gao Xing had told him. He really couldn't help it, so he used some tricks to ensure that the letter was delivered accurately to Gao Xing's hands.
He thought that even if Gao Xing received two identical letters, he would just think they were written in bulk by the donors and would not pay much attention to it, nor would it have much of an impact. Unexpectedly, in the end, Gao Xing only received his letter.
It turns out that there is such cause and effect in the dark.
"Why are you painting sunflowers?" Gao Xing asked, snuggling up to him.
They had discussed this issue before. Gao Xing didn't have any particular favorite flowers; flowers had once been an unattainable luxury for her.
“Because I like it.” Shen Xingjian replied.
He likes sunflowers, and likes the way they bloom towards the sun, as if they have infinite vitality.
I laughed happily, "Then I'll like it too in the future."

The author has something to say: Thank you to everyone who has read this far. Gao Xing and Shen Xingjian’s story ends here! [Heart][Namaste]
This story was not easy to write. I went through numerous revisions and major cuts and revisions. The version you see now only retains the main storyline, with the secondary male lead significantly cut and the secondary CP completely deleted. Personally, I think it's much more streamlined, without the wandering issues I often encountered in my previous writing. What do you think? [shy]
Of course, there are some other problems with this article. I have discovered some of them, but I don’t know how to change them. Some of them I haven’t discovered yet. If you have any opinions, you can tell me [namaskar].
I told myself that writing should be a joyful endeavor, writing what I want to write and reading what I want to read. But I'm ultimately a layman, and I couldn't help but look at the data, so my resolve faltered a bit midway through this book. But thankfully, I've adjusted myself and will continue writing. I still have so many stories I love that I want to share with everyone. Of course, I'll also continue to improve, striving to make my work enjoyable, and enjoyable for everyone.
I'll be posting some extra chapters from time to time, mainly for those that I found interesting but couldn't find a place to put them in before. They can also be used as a supplement to the plot. Friends who are interested can wait and see. [Smirk]
Besides that, I should probably continue revising the book "Clearing the Clouds to See the Moon" because it's a complete rewrite and the workload is too heavy. I couldn't resist starting this one in the middle, so now I really want to finish that one before starting a new one. I'll post the fourth one!!! [covering my face with laughter and tears]
If you're interested in pre-collecting "I Use Magic in the Immortal Cultivation World," check it out! [Let me check it out!] I've made several versions of the detailed outline for this book, and all the plot is laid out. I love the heroine! The couple is also so cute! I often laugh out loud in my head before going to bed! (I'm not crazy, seriously [spreading my hands]) I want to write this as a light, silly, and passionate immortal cultivation novel. The copy will be revised later, and some new plot points will be added. I'll release it after "Clearing the Clouds to See the Moon" is revised. [Like]
That's it! Thanks again for reading this far, and see you next time!
