Pei Songbai was caught off guard and Xia Wenhua seized on his weakness.
He remained silent for a long time before finally telling Xia Wenhua the truth.
He did indeed have Xia Wenhua's memories.
The two fought against the plot together, and their reunion here is surely a reward from heaven for them.
With tears in her eyes, Xia Wenhua felt as if she had been transported back to her helpless past life as Pei Songbai recounted his story.
Their relationship was indeed not pure from the beginning. Xia Wenhua sought out Pei Songbai because she couldn't stand the heavy farm work anymore.
Having already married Pei Songbai, she never intended to shirk responsibility.
The daughters raised by the Xia family would never do anything like abandoning their husbands and children.
However, the power of the plot was beyond her control. She did not elope with the pretty boy as arranged by the plot, and in the end, she could only be controlled by the plot and drowned.
At this point, Pei Songbai couldn't help but shed tears.
"How could you commit suicide? We had already agreed that you would come with me to join the army when the child was a little older, and that the four of us would live a good life together. How could you possibly commit suicide?"
Pei Songbai already didn't accept Xia Wenhua's suicide, but what happened next was even more terrifying.
"Rumors started circulating in the village that you ran away with someone else. We just held your funeral, but it seems like everyone who came forgot that you're dead."
The script that had already been written seemed illogical. Pei Songbai had not yet recovered from the grief of losing his wife when he fell into a vicious cycle once again.
Everyone around him, including his two children, seemed to have forgotten the truth, and kept saying that Xia Wenhua had followed someone away.
Pei Songbai initially thought that those people were saying this on purpose because they couldn't stand to see him doing well, but in the end even his mother said so.
“I know my mother's character. She's the kind of person who wouldn't say a bad word about someone even if they bullied her, and she would never believe rumors, but…”
She advised me, "Even if you leave, you still need to take care of the child. Otherwise, let me take the child to visit the military base."
Xia Wenhua clenched her fingers after hearing Pei Songbai's description.
"It was all arranged. It was all orchestrated by someone else. We were just pawns!"
Recalling how she initially thought she was living in a book, how she was very distant from Pei Songbai and her own little one, and how she even felt guilty before meeting Shang Qiu, she felt waves of nausea.
How ridiculous! They lived each day to the fullest, yet those people insisted on telling her that she lived in a book, and that she was just a so-called supporting female character.
In order to make way for Shang Qiu, and for the normal appearance of this kind of female lead, does she have to be killed off by the plot to make way for others?
Why should her lover be given to someone else, and her child be made into a good-for-nothing villain?
The resentment that had been hidden in her heart could no longer be contained. Xia Wenhua became angrier and angrier as she spoke, until Pei Songbai grabbed her hand.
"Okay, it's all over now. We'll live well from now on. Don't be angry anymore."
He had calmed down and spoke lightly about the pain he had suffered in the past.
Shang Qiu was originally a spy, and Pei Songbai naturally discovered this in his previous life.
He didn't understand why everyone else was affected by the plot and followed its arrangements, but he remained unaffected by these things.
He watched with growing awareness as those around him succumbed to depravity, ultimately finding himself alone to fight against the entire world.
Xia Wenhua initially thought her time travel was an accident, but later, after learning that it was her own life, she even wondered if it was a change of heart from the time-traveling god.
However, now that she had made things clear with Pei Songbai, and looking at his expression, she no longer harbored any illusions.
"Songbai, you knew from the moment I came back, didn't you? You had memories from the beginning. My ability to start over is related to you, isn't it?"
Pei Songbai's thoughts drifted away with Xia Wenhua, as if he had returned to his past life.
Due to his insistence, the plot did not follow the predetermined course.
He was unusually clear-headed, and his two children gradually came to their senses as well.
The story Xia Wenhua described might have been the ending their family was supposed to have, but he wasn't misled by the plot and ultimately didn't follow it.
only……
Humans can overcome nature, but the price they pay is devastating.
The two children were exceptionally intelligent, and through their combined efforts, they accelerated the development of technology by at least a century. Ultimately, in an attempt to revive Xia Wenhua, they secretly conducted a time travel experiment and were imprisoned for life.
Fortunately, before they were imprisoned, they pushed the unfinished product they had made for Xia Wenhua into the torrent of time and space.
Pei Songbai himself gave up everything after his child was imprisoned. He spent most of his life searching for a way to start a new life for his family of four. The tragedy he endured is beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
No matter how much they sacrificed, they couldn't truly escape the control of the plot. Even if he returned with his memories, because of the deal he made with those people, he couldn't reveal it to Xia Wenhua before she personally asked him if he had his memories.
Recalling his past life, Pei Songbai finally suppressed all his pain and resentment deep in his heart.
He looked at Xia Wenhua tenderly and smiled, "Of course it's related to me. I prayed to God countless days and nights to bring you back to my side."
Pei Songbai smiled nonchalantly, attributing everything to unfounded prayers.
Xia Wenhua finally felt relieved after listening to Pei Songbai's comforting lies.
Pei Songbai is reborn with her memories intact. She spent many years in the modern world before returning. Now she even has her so-called "space," and everything has finally turned out well.
Whether it's the plot or the time-traveling gods, in the end, they were given a way to survive.
