447, Seeing Through Everything (2 more updates)
It was sumr when one could take a waterlon out to share.
Otherwise, in such cold weather, it was not easy to explain where this waterlon ca from.
After eating a waterlon, Xie Zhinuan let out a satisfied burp. Thinking of the three creatures that usually didn’t sleep in her room, Xie Zhinuan buried the waterlon rinds in the soil.
She would have to secretly plant so fruits and vegetables in her space in the coming days. She didn’t need to plant a lot, just enough for this area. It would be good for her own consumption or as a gift to others.
Xuan Mu didn’t want to go ho, so Xu Xuanjin kept him company, walking by the river.
It was the Lantern Festival tonight. There was no curfew in the county town. There were still many passersby at this ti. After all, the festival only ca once a year. People would make plans to et at dusk, and n and won would release river lanterns together, expressing their wishes to stay together for life.
Xuan Mu had been standing for a long ti, and Xu Xuanjin shivered from the cold.
A servant brought hot tea and a warm stove. Xu Xuanjin imdiately grabbed it, took several breaths to warm up, and walked to Xuan Mu’s side, “Look, it’s getting late. Let’s go back!”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mu softly said, “Cousin, do you believe in reincarnation?”
“…” Xu Xuanjin was surprised.
Xuan Mu, however, smiled gently.
He used to be a disbeliever, but after so experiences, he had co to believe it was possible.
A person who had such a lucky break, whom doctors had said had an eighty percent chance of not surviving, had actually pulled through. Her personality changed drastically, and she lost her mory.
But he could tell, when Xie Zhinuan faced him, perhaps, there was guilt.
She could say her na was Xie Zhinuan, knew how to cook, could do needlework, could… very clearly reject him, and yet say, “Nuannuan would forgive him.” In reality, she had been explaining many tis over.
“…”
Xuan Mu sighed softly.
His Nuannuan was truly never coming back.
He ordered a servant to bring a flint, and to Xu Xuanjin’s astonishnt, lit the flower lantern and watched it burn to ashes.
The snow fell even harder.
Suddenly, Xuan Mu cried out, “Ah…” and slowly knelt down.
She said Nuannuan wouldn’t bla him, but as a man, he failed to protect the woman he loved, allowed her to encounter misfortune. A mistake was a mistake.
Xu Xuanjin was startled.
Seeing Xuan Mu like this, he couldn’t help but sigh that love was a tornting affair; he was better off never falling in love in his life.
After Xuan Mu’s emotions had stabilized sowhat, Xu Xuanjin dragged him back to the Xu Family and ordered soone to bring wine, “Tonight, let’s, two brothers, get drunk together. But rember this, after today, forget your Nuannuan, and focus on your career. As for , I will follow in your footsteps. We brothers should beco high officials. Once we do, what kind of beauties won’t we have!”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mu laughed softly.
Indeed, what kind of beauties wouldn’t they have? But amongst the countless beauties in the world, there was only one Nuannuan, only one.
After three rounds of drinks, Xuan Mu was severely drunk.
Yet his mind seed to be clear; he saw Nuannuan slowly walking towards him, holding him tenderly, kissing his cheeks softly, whispering his na gently, “Xuan Mu, Xuan Mu, wait for . You must wait for . I will return. I will return…”
“Nuannuan, I’ll wait for you, wait for you!”
Even if it takes a lifeti, I will wait for you.
Wait for you.
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
Xie Zhinuan woke up very early, as did the fool. Xiaoyuan finished tidying up early and called out sweetly, “Master, sister fool, good morning!”
“Hmm, you’re up early. Let’s have breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll head over!” Xie Zhinuan said with a smile.
“Hmm!”
After breakfast, the fool drove the carriage, heading out of the city.
