Uncle Mu saw that his expression did not seem feigned and nodded, "Go pack your things, I’ll take care of the family head here."
Jun Chi assured, "Okay."
After he left, Uncle Mu softly tread to the bedside.
Having undergone hypnosis, Jun Lii had been asleep for a full eight hours.
The master Xiao Yi had invited stated that as long as it didn’t exceed ten hours, even if sothing extrely important ca up, do not disturb him. Deep hypnosis consus a lot of cultivation, and even that master could only use it once a year.
It sounded mystical, but Xiao Yi wouldn’t be confused about such matters, it seed that this master must have so real skills.
Uncle Mu looked at Jun Lii, who was enjoying a rare peaceful sleep, and heaved a light sigh...
He wondered whether the family head could truly recall the past?
The man on the bed slept soundly and serenely.
Yet within, Jun Lii’s consciousness had already drifted along the hypnosis’s guidance, into the depths of distant mories.
"What’s your na?"
"?" The girl’s playful voice rang out like a piece of candy, sweetening the air and softening the cold hearts, "Just call Ah Xing~"
"Ah Xing, hello, my na is Su Zihu."
The gentle voice was courteous and polite.
But it left Jun Lii utterly baffled?!
He repeatedly confird that this voice was coming from his own body?!
Su Zihu?
Who was that?
Wasn’t he ambushed by the "S" organization? How co upon awakening, it felt like only a strand of consciousness remained, feeling so fellow called Su Zihu had taken over his body?
Su Zihu seed to be aware of his existence and spoke languidly, "Have you woken up?"
"Who are you?" Jun Lii was unapologetically blunt, "Get out of my body!"
"I am you," Su Zihu remained gentle and civil.
His voice, as if refined by the years, had a composed and mild quality regardless of the situation.
Listening to it made Jun Lii extrely irritated.
"What exactly are you—"
"I co from another ti, the future you," Su Zihu stated.
Jun Lii thought he was talking nonsense.
But the next second, Su Zihu said, "I am here to save soone, existing as a wisp of consciousness within your body. After you were gravely injured, I suddenly gained control over this body. Don’t worry, we are the sa person, I naturally won’t harm you. Try your best, see if you can attempt to regain control over this body?"
Jun Lii gave it a try, but his consciousness felt a torturous pain as if it had been violently extracted, an indescribable agony.
The pain was like choosing pi as the unit in a pain scale of one to ten.
It was not excruciating, but lingering endlessly, without respite.
He struggled sowhat, his body appeared to be rejecting him, and began to convulse violently.
The girl’s sweet voice sounded beside his ear once again, "My, you have so many wounds, and it took so much effort to bandage them up! If you break free, I’ll have to redo it all over again!"
Even without seeing her, he could imagine Ah Xing’s feigned viciousness as she gnashed her teeth.
"Don’t move again, or else I’ll wrap you up like a mummy."
It was the first ti soone had dared to speak to him with such a tone.
Jun Lii, inexplicably, chuckled lightly.
"She’s quite adorable, isn’t she?" Su Zihu spoke slowly, "She is your future wife, and also the person who I struggled to co here to save."
Jun Lii couldn’t stand the person who had taken over his body.
Who the hell is he?
A future version of himself?
Psh, you say it’s so?! Give a break!
Jun Lii’s smile turned cold, "I would marry her? Dream on."
At that ti, the relationship between the Min Family and the Jun Residence was cordial, and he was the sole heir to the Jun Residence, with Min Zixian being a mber of the Min Family. If the two families were to form an alliance through marriage, Min Zixian would undoubtedly beco the next rightful matriarch of the Jun Residence. If the Jun Residence refused, the Min Family would never allow another woman to take that position!
Jun Lii was well aware of his current situation and naturally didn’t want to believe Su Zihu’s few words.
However, the mont of face-slapping always cos so quickly.
In the days they continued to spend together, Su Zihu always found ti to chat with him.
About the past, the present, and the future...
"The storyline of this tiline is a bit different from what I’ve experienced before... I t Ah Xing at the Jiang Family, and after we got married, she went with to Hua Country... But in this tiline, the year you went to the Jiang Family, she happened to be out on an investnt project... I thought we wouldn’t cross paths, but fate had its way, and we still t."
Jun Lii really didn’t want to deal with Su Zihu, but upon hearing the keyword "Jiang Family," he still opened his mouth, "She’s a girl from the Jiang Family?"
"Yes, very beautiful and cute."
Su Zihu’s tone held endless doting and a touch of sorrow, "It’s a pity... she was killed by soone from the Jiang Family..."
At that mont, Ah Xing happened to bring over a platter of fruit, gently offering as if teaching a child, "Co on, open your mouth, I’ll feed you fruit."
The sweet grapes burst in his mouth, carrying the warm familiarity of sumr from the throat right down to the stomach.
Ah Xing’s laughter was delightful, "Is it good? I saw our neighbor grew a lot of grapes, I exchanged them for so sweet and sour ribs~ If you like them, I can trade for more? Maybe brew so grape wine for you?"
She was lively like the sun.
For soone who has lingered in the abyss for too long, even the slightest hint of warmth can induce an intense desire to cling to it.
All the more so for the sun...
Even though he hadn’t managed to regain control of his body, Jun Lii could still feel his heart, slowly lting away.
Throbbing and growing!
He started inquiring about the girl from Su Zihu, both casually and deliberately.
"Ah Xing? She’s the best person in the world... In my world, we t in a classroom of the Jiang Family. She was smart yet not keen on studying, often infuriating the teacher... At that ti, I couldn’t reveal my identity from the Jun Residence, so I used the surna Su publicly... After seeing her, I suddenly chose a na for myself: Su Zihu... Zihu... only protect... I wanted to spend the rest of my ti protecting only her..."
Speaking of the past, Su Zihu’s tone beca very tender, "Later... we got to know and love each other... got married, and had two children, one nad Su Wang, the other Jun Yan... Both nas she chose while pregnant."
"Two children?" Jun Lii’s heart softened a bit, "Why not give one of them her surna?"
Su Zihu seed to rember sothing and laughed, "She thought Jiang was not a nice-sounding surna."
Jiang Xiaoxing...
Ah Xing...
Jun Lii unconsciously thought, "It sounds quite nice though."
"She also has a grandfather in Hua Country; she grew up there as a child... It was not until her teen years that she was brought back to the Jiang Family. She always said what she missed most was her days in Hua Country, growing vegetables and catching fish..."
Jun Lii couldn’t see, but in his mind, a picture gradually erged—a small and adorable girl, carrying a little hoe by the creek, rolling up her pants, with a leaf in her mouth, excitedly getting ready to catch fish.
Such leisurely and carefree days...
Such a willful and carefree girl...
Jun Lii suddenly felt a bit curious about the future, "What happened next?"
