Suddenly, I felt a scorching heat in my palm and heard a familiar sound of rapid breathing in my ears.
Shen Ruoxi suddenly opened her eyes and ran into Pei Yaozhou's eyes that were as dark as the abyss.
"Azhou?"
Is she hallucinating?
Shen Ruoxi could hardly believe her eyes, so she reached out to touch the man's face, but she didn't dare to touch him, fearing that all this was just an illusion.
However, the next moment, her hand was covered by the man's big hand and pressed against his face.
The fingertips and palms have a warm touch that is unique to the skin.
Not an illusion!
At this moment, Shen Ruoxi's heart seemed to have found a home. She stretched out her arms and hugged Pei Yaozhou tightly, her voice choking with sobs: "Azhou, why are you here?"
"Because I heard you calling my name." Pei Yaozhou's voice was low but affectionate.
In one sentence, Shen Ruoxi was completely defeated. Only in front of this man could she unscrupulously expose her softest side.
The two hugged each other in the time tunnel for a long time, and Shen Ruoxi suddenly thought of something.
"What will happen to the children if you leave?"
She originally thought that even if she left and could not come back, she could at least rest assured that Pei Yaozhou would be by her side and protect her children as they grew up.
Pei Yaozhou touched his nose, feeling a little guilty. "Before I left, I called my mother and gave her the USB drive. I'd like to ask her to take care of Xiaoye and Wanwan for a while."
Shen Ruoxi: …
"If we leave now, we may never be able to come back. Go back quickly before this place completely collapses!"
Shen Ruoxi anxiously tried to break free from Pei Yaozhou, but found that no matter how hard she tried, Pei Yaozhou held her tightly and refused to let go.
"Ruoxi, I'm sorry, please forgive my selfishness." Pei Yaozhou said.
Shen Ruoxi was stunned.
"I love our children very much, but this love cannot surpass the place you hold in my heart."
"I can't accept you leaving me..."
Pei Yaozhou didn't continue speaking, but Shen Ruoxi felt his inner entanglement and guilt, and her heart ached.
She reached out and hugged Pei Yaozhou, her voice gentle: "Since we can travel through time and space to return to the past, there must be a way to return to the future. After we deal with things here, we will work together to find a way to see the children again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the time tunnel collapsed again and a roar was heard in his ears.
Gradually, everything around was swallowed by the strong light. Pei Yaozhou held Shen Ruoxi tightly in his arms, and the two closed their eyes together.
When the surroundings returned to calm, the two slowly opened their eyes.
Surrounding them were red walls and green tiles that were familiar yet unfamiliar to them. The towering palace walls separated this place from the outside world, and the crimson flames dyed half the sky red.
They actually went back to the day when the Qiao family rebelled!
That day, the palace was set on fire, and the little emperor and she were trapped in the fire.
At this moment in Fengluan Palace, the little emperor and Qiao Ruoxi were sitting side by side.
After the two men's wine glasses clinked together, Qiao Ruoxi drank the wine in her hand in one gulp, and then her body went limp and she fell unconscious.
“Very good, everything is developing according to the trajectory of the previous life.” Shen Ruoxi whispered softly.
"To be on the safe side, it's best not to change the course of history before we reincarnate and travel through time in our previous lives. Let me think about how I negotiated with you in your diary..."
Shen Ruoxi was thinking in the corner when she saw Pei Yaozhou walk directly through the corridor and come to the front of the little emperor. Shen Ruoxi was startled and hurriedly chased after him.
"You, who are you? Why do you look so much like us? Are you puppet substitutes arranged by the Qiao family?" The little emperor looked at them warily.
Shen Ruoxi stroked her forehead. Why did she feel like she was going to mess up?
If the little emperor doesn't believe them and doesn't agree to reincarnate to avoid disaster, wouldn't that be troublesome?
Shen Ruoxi was thinking about how to phrase it in order to win the little emperor's trust when she heard Pei Yaozhou speak.
"You're afraid of thunder. When you were ten, you wet your bed because of thunder. But you were afraid Ruoxi would find out, so you secretly burned the mattress and almost burned down the palace as well."
Little Emperor:!
Shen Ruoxi:?
"It was from that time that you realized you might have fallen in love with Ruoxi. You began to look forward to thunderstorms, asking Ruoxi to sleep with you. You would secretly watch Ruoxi at night, and would watch her all night long."
Little Emperor:!!
Shen Ruoxi:? ?
"You know Ruoxi can't hold her liquor well, and her drinking habits aren't...so sometimes you deliberately invite her out for drinks. After she's drunk, you send everyone in the palace away and let Ruoxi do whatever she wants to you. The next day, you tell her that she can drink well, but she can only get drunk in front of him."
The little emperor blushed: "Stop talking!"
Shen Ruoxi: "??? Okay, you!"
Pei Yaozhou averted Shen Ruoxi's gaze guiltily, and pointed at the little emperor seriously: "He did this, it has nothing to do with me!"
Shen Ruoxi chuckled: "Okay, it has nothing to do with you, we will sleep in separate beds when there is thunder in the future!"
The little emperor looked at Shen Ruoxi, then at Pei Yaozhou: "You, you, why do you know those things? Who are you?"
Pei Yaozhou sneered: "I thought I was quite smart in my previous life, but I still haven't figured it out?"
"Previous life? You, you came from the future?" The little emperor looked at Shen Ruoxi and Pei Yaozhou carefully again.
"Otherwise, how would I know these... embarrassing things about you." After saying that, Pei Yaozhou glanced at Shen Ruoxi guiltily.
Shen Ruoxi smiled with a fake smile, and her face said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."
The little emperor found this way of getting along very familiar, and the last bit of doubt in his heart was dispelled.
"Since you can travel from the future, you can definitely take Ruoxi out, right?" The little emperor looked at them expectantly.
Shen Ruoxi was just about to make a choice for the little emperor according to her previous life's thinking when she heard Pei Yaozhou interrupt her again.
"Come with us, and as long as you endure the pain of broken bones for seven lifetimes, you can meet Ruoxi who traveled through time in your last lifetime, get married, have children, and spend the rest of your lives together."
The little emperor agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
Shen Ruoxi: Is this okay?
Pei Yaozhou looked at Shen Ruoxi and smiled, "No one knows me better than myself."
"Including me?" Shen Ruoxi asked back.
Pei Yaozhou immediately changed his attitude: "No, no, no, except my wife."
The little emperor looked at Pei Yaozhou and Shen Ruoxi and grinned foolishly with envy. This was something he had never dared to imagine in his entire life.
If I could obtain this love openly just by enduring the pain of broken bones for seven lifetimes, it would be totally worth it!
"But before you reincarnate, I need to get a few things from you."
Shen Ruoxi's eyes swept over the little emperor familiarly.
