Chapter 612: Chapter 612: I am not him after all_1
A few minutes later, Qi Jialiang ended this embrace of two different paths, slowly standing up.
He walked up to Qin Sisi, said gruffly: "I am willing to give you my Soul Power. Please don’t let us brothers ever et again. He doesn’t want to be my shadow anymore, nor do I want to be his burden."
"I can do that." Qin Sisi nodded.
Qi Jialiang paused, then continued, "Could you please tell him that I regret everything. I took over his identity, got everything he had, but I still couldn’t beco him.
I could not do his job well, I did not know how to teach history, I only knew how to read aloud from the textbook during classes. The departnt heads are becoming more and more unsatisfied with
and plan on terminating my contract after this sester is over.
Even though I liked Xiao Wei a lot, I didn’t know how to satisfy her. I tried hard to imitate every word and action of my brother. Still, Xiao Wei was drawing further and further away from .
I wasn’t short-sighted, but I still had to wear glasses every day. My head ached, and my nose hurt.
I didn’t like to read, but I had to keep a book by the bedside because it was my brother’s habit, and I was afraid people would realize I was a fraud.
I liked sports, especially basketball. But I dared not go anymore because Qi Jiaming was not good at sports.
I lost myself. I tried so hard to beco soone else, but in the end, I didn’t excel at anything.
I cannot accept that Xiao Wei doesn’t love . If she leaves, then everything I’ve done will beco aningless. So, I wanted to..."
It’s all for the best, though. Now that my brother is back, everything is back to normal. I’m afraid I’ve left him with a ss to clean up, but that’s just what brothers do, right?"
A bitter smile flashed across Qi Jialiang’s face, but his expression relaxed in the end.
After spending so many years as soone else, he could finally be himself again.
Qin Sisi looked at him and said, "I don’t need to tell him, he can hear it himself."
Qi Jialiang responded embarrassingly with a smile, "Alright then, let’s let it be. Take my Soul Power!"
Qin Sisi nodded and looked at Ye You.
Hearing that Qi Jialiang was willing to offer his Soul Power, Ye You opened his eyes and waved its claw, summoning the Refining Spirit Bottle.
The snow-white Refining Spirit Bottle glowed with a silver light, slowly spinning in the void, summoning the ghost willing to make a soul offering.
Qi Jialiang’s figure began to fade. He gritted his teeth, turned around, and shouted, "Goodbye, brother, take good care of our parents, and you must win my sister-in-law back!"
As his voice fell, only a wisp of white smoke remained in the air, slowly entering the Refining Spirit Bottle.
Ye You waved its claw and withdrew the Refining Spirit Bottle.
Qin Sisi walked up to Qi Jiaming and gently said, "It’s all over now. Start thinking about how to clean up the ss your brother left behind!"
His soul had just rged with his body, and Qi Jiaming felt a bit weak. He stood up using the bed for support and said with a smile, "Slow and steady, as long as you’re willing, everything can be accomplished."
Qin Sisi nodded, "I’ll take my leave now. If there’s anything you can’t handle in the future, feel free to call . But rember, not a word about my secret to anyone, not even her."
Qin Sisi used her chin to point towards the still sleeping Xiao Wei on the bed.
Qi Jiaming replied with a quiet but firm voice, "I understand. I won’t leak a word regarding matters of the underworld and your affairs."
As he spoke, Qi Jiaming suddenly laughed, "Moreover, even if I did speak up, no one would believe . Maybe they’d even label
as insane."
Qin Sisi also laughed. Dealing with soone like Qi Jiaming was indeed a pleasant thing.
Then Qi Jiaming continued, "Rest assured, since I’m living again as a human, I want to lead a normal life as much as possible. Unless I indeed encounter a supernatural incident, I won’t disturb you."
Qin Sisi nodded with a smile, "Fair enough, then I hope we never et again."
Qi Jiaming smiled warmly, extending his palm towards Qin Sisi.
Looking at the outstretched palm, Qin Sisi hesitated for a mont, then shook hands with Qi Jiaming.
"Thank you," Qi Jiaming said with a serious expression.
Qin Sisi answered with a smile, waved to Qi Jiaming, then turned around and left with Ye You.
It was still pre-dawn. Leaving Xiao Wei’s house and under the cover of darkness, Ye You used magic to form a silver sphere, bringing Qin Sisi back to their residence.
After Qin Sisi left, Qi Jiaming sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at the sleeping Xiao Wei with deep affection and tenderness in his eyes.
In the morning, Qi Jiaming woke Xiao Wei up by pinching her nose, "Lazy pig, ti to get up."
Xiao Wei drowsily opened her eyes, seeing Qi Jiaming’s gentle smile right in front of her, she had a bizarre feeling of ti-stopped.
Seeing Xiao Wei in a daze, Qi Jiaming ssed her hair lightly and softly said, "I made your favorite eight-treasure porridge. Get up and have so."
Xiao Wei was more stunned. She seed to rember that it had been a long ti since Qi Jiaming cooked for her.
"You didn’t leave last night?" Xiao Wei looked at Qi Jiaming, suddenly thought of another problem.
Qi Jiaming calmly replied, "Yes, you were too tired yesterday and fell asleep on the table. I felt concerned, so I decided to stay and look after you."
His answer was very clean, without the slightest hint of ambiguity.
Xiao Wei wanted to ask sothing else but then saw their clothes still intact. She realized she might be overthinking.
Qi Jiaming had promised that they would only have physical intimacy after they were married, and she chose to trust him.
Sipping the delicious eight-treasure porridge, Xiao Wei’s uncertain heart gradually began to warm up.
Today was still the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, so they didn’t have to go to work.
After breakfast, the two cuddled up on the sofa, watching TV.
While stroking Xiao Wei’s hair, Qi Jiaming suddenly said, "Weiwei, I have sothing I want to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Seeing Qi Jiaming’s serious face, Xiao Wei couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.
Qi Jiaming sighed and said, "Ever since Jialiang left, my condition hasn’t been very good, and my job performance has been disastrous as well. I want to take a leave of absence for a while to rest and recover. What do you think?"
Xiao Wei’s expression darkened. The ntion of Qi Jialiang was a taboo. They had previously avoided this na altogether. Xiao Wei didn’t understand why Qi Jiaming would suddenly bring it up.
Seeing Xiao Wei’s reaction, Qi Jiaming guessed what she was thinking.
He took her hand comfortingly and said, "Weiwei, Jialiang’s choice was his own, it had nothing to do with you. I’m trying hard to step out of the shadow of the past, and I hope you won’t keep pushing yourself either, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei’s eyes moistened. This event had been a thorn in her heart for this past year. Every ti she faced Qi Jiaming, she felt a sting.
