Begging
The rain was torrential, like countless pebbles falling from the sky, hitting people's faces and bodies painfully.
It seems that God is being particularly difficult. The mountain road is already difficult to walk, let alone when it is raining heavily!
Braving the wind and rain, He Lin bowed every three steps and kowtowed every nine steps, slowly making his way towards the Taoist temple on the mountain. Qingyun beside him tried to dissuade him, but to no avail.
"Young Master He! Get up quickly! Let's think of another way to ask our master for help. You'll get sick from getting soaked like this!"
He Lin didn't answer, and walked forward with his head down, his eyes shining frighteningly brightly in the rain.
He was determined to go up the mountain to beg the old Taoist priest for help.
After Qingyun brought He Lin to the Qianshan Taoist Temple, it is unknown what his master and He Lin discussed in the room. After descending the mountain, He Lin did not head towards the capital. Instead, he knelt and prayed step by step up the mountain. It must be because his master had calculated the fate of He Lin's wife and did not want to interfere in other people's karma. That's why He Lin knelt and begged unwillingly...
To describe his infatuation as foolish is an understatement. He Lin has gone to such lengths for his wife; he truly loves her to the core and would rather die than let go. It's hard to know what to say about him.
Qingyun watched him kneeling and praying as he climbed the mountain in the heavy rain, and couldn't bear it. She stood by anxiously, but there was nothing she could do. She could only hold up an umbrella to shield him from the rain. Unexpectedly, after He Lin got up from his kowtow, he pushed her aside and walked in the rain, breaking through the mud on the mountain path and leaving a trail of footprints behind him.
"Young Master He!"
Qingyun caught up, but He Lin pushed him away again.
"Leave me alone."
"You...you're the one I brought up the mountain! If anything happens to you, General He won't let me off easily. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about others!"
He Lin acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to move forward with his head down.
"Young Master He!"
Seeing that he wouldn't listen, Qingyun gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, but there was really nothing she could do.
He's so stubborn, he's practically a complete snob!
The heavy rain almost blinded him; rainwater streamed down his face, tracing the sharp lines of his jaw, gathering at his chin like a small waterfall, but he seemed completely unconcerned. He silently blinked, counted his steps, knelt, and kowtowed, continuing forward…
There is silence here, but true feelings can be heard.
Jiang Yi lay on the bed in her rented room, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks. The room was quiet, and a few glistening teardrops eventually disappeared into her hair, leaving only a trace, as if they had never existed.
The scene ends there. Jiang Yi doesn't know what happened to He Lin in the end, or what the old Taoist priest said to him that made him kneel up the mountain and beg him with three bows and nine kowtows.
He Lin, that idiot! Didn't he leave a letter for him? How could he still be so stupid!
Linglingyi said that the original owner had already died before she transmigrated, leaving only an empty shell, which is why she was able to transmigrate into Jiang Yi's body. Could it be that the old Taoist priest really had a way to revive her?
[001, is this why you want me to travel back in time again?]
[No, He Lin is not the main reason. The host did not complete the previous transmigration mission.]
What does it mean if the task is not completed? How do I complete the task?
[Bury Jiang Yi. 001 kindly reminds you, host, that you must give Jiang Yi's body a proper burial.]
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi instantly got goosebumps all over her body, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her arm.
This is absolutely terrifying!
She transmigrated into Jiang Yi's body, so making her bury Jiang Yi is tantamount to making her bury herself! How? Bury her alive? Are you kidding me?!
Jiang Yi was about to swear, but knowing she had been electrocuted for swearing at the system before, she took a few deep breaths and swallowed the profanity.
No, I don't quite understand what you mean! You want me to bury myself?
[...The host transmigrated into Jiang Yi's body, so you must take good care of her after you leave.]
Jiang Yi keenly captured the key phrase – “after he left”.
In other words, there's no problem with her returning to the real world, but the original owner's body, which is already cold, can't be left unattended. To put it simply, it's telling He Lin not to keep that body any longer. After she returns to the real world, the original owner's body should be buried, but...
【one. 】
[Okay, congratulations on making your choice. The system is switching to time travel mode. Loading, please wait...]
Jiang Yi thought that no matter what, she should go back again, whether it was to take responsibility for the original owner or for He Lin's sake. Even if she couldn't stay, she should apologize to him; it was something she owed him.
[001, let's make a deal, okay? You see, I've already been through hell once, so please don't torture me this time, okay? Don't you guys have a gentler time-travel mode? Like, just take a nap and it'll be over. But if it's another headache and electric shock this time, you can expect me to give you a bad review! And a complaint!]
[...]
[Please prepare yourself, host...]
Jiang Yi put her phone aside and lay sprawled on the bed. Her stomach was growling again. She was so hungry! She could probably eat a whole cow right now!
A moment later, my mind went completely blank, I couldn't remember anything, and I couldn't even feel hunger anymore...
She faintly heard a few low voices calling her name.
When Jiang Yi opened her eyes again, she was not seeing the ceiling of her rented room, but a familiar green gauze curtain.
She really did wear it back again.
"Miss! Miss, you're awake! Young Master! Miss is awake!"
"..."
As soon as she woke up, she heard Xia Zhi's excited chatter, and Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
The little girl wasn't afraid at all. You have to understand that she was practically resurrected in this world, but Xia Zhi not only didn't scream in fear, but also looked happy and excited. Her courage is truly remarkable.
Jiang Yi slowly sat up and leaned against the headboard. Xia Zhi watched her sob and finally couldn't hold back her tears: "Waaah... Miss!"
"Alright, alright..." Jiang Yi, both amused and exasperated, pulled her hand and sat her on the edge of the bed. She reached out to wipe away her tears and comforted her, "Don't cry, I'm fine, I just slept a little too long..."
Jiang Yi felt guilty as she said this. She had slept for a long time. Who can sleep like that, sleeping for several days at a time? She's not a sleep god!
Xia Zhi wiped away her tears and smiled through her tears: "Miss, that old Taoist priest is really amazing. He burned a paper talisman as soon as he came in, closed his eyes and calculated with his fingers, saying that you would wake up today. What he said was true! I will definitely go to the Thousand Mountain Taoist Temple to fulfill my vow another day!"
Jiang Yi asked in confusion, "Old Taoist priest?"
"Yes, it was a highly skilled person that you invited from the Thousand Mountains Taoist Temple."
When He Lin was mentioned, Jiang Yi remembered all the silly things he had done for her and couldn't help but sigh.
"Where is He Lin?"
As they were talking, He Lin had already walked around the screen and entered. His forehead was wrapped in several layers of white gauze, and in some places, you could see specks of scarlet blood seeping through.
Jiang Yi's eyes reddened, and she quickly looked away, lowering her gaze and blinking.
"Xia Zhi, why don't you go out first? I have something to say to him."
Xia Zhi nodded: "Yes."
"Hey, wait a minute, Natsumi!"
"What's wrong, Miss?"
Jiang Yi stole a glance at He Lin, only to be caught red-handed. She cleared her throat and said, "Um, I'm a little hungry. Could you make me a bowl of noodles?"
Xia Zhi smiled: "Miss has been asleep for several days. Young Master thought that Miss would wake up today, so he asked someone to prepare it early this morning. It has been kept warm on the stove. He was just afraid that Miss would be hungry when she woke up. I will go to the small kitchen to check and bring it to Miss in a while."
"Yes, thank you."
Xia Zhi shook her head, turned around and ran out, not forgetting to close the door behind her.
Jiang Yi cautiously looked up at He Lin.
"I'm sorry, He Lin, I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, He Lin strode quickly toward the bedside, bent down, grabbed the back of Jiang Yi's head, and kissed her lips fiercely.
This kiss couldn't be simply categorized as a kiss; it was a fierce, domineering bite. He Lin started by biting her lips, the metallic taste of blood immediately spreading between their lips and teeth. Then, taking advantage of Jiang Yi's pained, unconscious mouth opening, he relentlessly attacked and ravaged her oral cavity, almost suffocating her...
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yi had no doubt that she was about to suffocate and faint. Only then did He Lin slowly release her and press his forehead against hers.
"Jiang Yi, I hate you so much!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down as soon as possible.
Their hot breaths mingled together, indistinguishable from each other's.
"He Lin...I'm so sorry...I..."
"Don't say anything, let me hug you."
He Lin sat down on the edge of the bed, put his arm around Jiang Yi's shoulder, and held her tightly in his arms.
The person in his arms was warm, not cold; if you listened carefully, you could even feel her heartbeat. He Lin's eyes stung with tears; Jiang Yi had truly returned to his side...
Jiang Yi breathed on her hands to warm them, and He Lin asked, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Yi felt inexplicably embarrassed and honestly said, "I, cough cough, I just wanted to smell if there was any odor in my mouth. I haven't been able to rinse or clean my mouth for the past few days. You...you don't mind at all!"
He Lin was stunned, then smiled. It really was Jiang Yi, she hadn't changed at all.
"I don't mind."
Jiang Yi blushed and struggled to break free from his embrace, but He Lin held her tighter and tighter, not allowing her any possibility of leaving him.
"Hey, what are you doing, He Lin? Let me see your injury."
"My injury is fine, I've applied medicine."
Hearing him say that, Jiang Yi sighed, her mind filled with the image of He Lin kneeling in the rain, begging to go up the mountain.
Is it worth it?
The voice was very soft, but He Lin still heard it. He pursed his lips and replied softly, "It's worth it."
Jiang Yi glanced at him sideways and looked up. He Lin smiled gently: "It turns out it was worth it. You're awake."
"What if he doesn't wake up?"
"That was my own choice."
"Fool……"
