Capítulo 1722: Chapter 1722: Finale: In the Next Life, May You Guide Me (12)

Su Hongxing’s steps were heavy; she felt that Xiao Ji had lost himself completely.

In these three lifetimes, she and Ye Qilan seemed to be the main characters, while Xiao Ji was just a side player. Perhaps it was because of this that Xiao Ji was unwilling to reconcile. Her and Ye Qilan’s happy life did not include Xiao Ji in the plans.

Yet, Xiao Ji was once the closest person to her, and it was Ye Qilan who gradually replaced him, taking away the position that originally belonged to Xiao Ji…

On the way back, neither of them spoke. Once they returned to the yard, Xiao Ji prepared the meal, and they ate quietly.

As it was nearly time to rest, Xiao Ji finally broke the silence: “Xingxing, I now have no secrets left. You see, I am completely harmless. As soon as Ye Qilan finds Rebirth Village, I’m done for. I just hope for a bit of good luck, that he takes longer to find us, so I can spend a bit more time with you. Before Ye Qilan arrives, could you stay under the same roof as me, like we did as kids, without any worries?”

Su Hongxing turned to look at Xiao Ji, smiling gently, “I understand. Sleep early, you must be tired after two days on the road.”

During the trip, she hogged the bed, and Xiao Ji barely rested well.

“I’ll sleep in the living room.” Xiao Ji didn’t hide his concern about Su Hongxing escaping.

Seeing him like that, Su Hongxing didn’t try to persuade him. She found a blanket, laid it on the sofa, and then went back to the bedroom to rest.

As she lay in bed, she thought of Ye Qilan, also Little Pudding, and their silent Little Baozi.

Xiao Ji is a smart man; he knows he has reached the end of the road, without a future. Facing such a Xiao Ji, she didn’t even think of escaping.

Su Hongxing couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night, and neither could Xiao Ji.

He barely dared to close his eyes, afraid that Su Hongxing would escape while he was asleep. He brought her to Rebirth Village just to fulfill a wish.

Rebirth Village was a place he had visited in his past life. At that time, he was indifferent, always feeling that there was no such thing as past lives or this life; those were just gimmicks. Since he recovered memories of his previous life, he especially wanted to bring Su Hongxing to this village for a visit.

Now, he had fulfilled his wish.

His final wish was simply to live alone with her for a period of time, and he felt satisfied with that.

When Su Hongxing got up the next morning, she found Xiao Ji reading a book, unsurprised: “Didn’t you sleep again last night?”

“Slept for a while and soon woke up again.” Xiao Ji added, “I already made breakfast, just heat it up and you can eat.”

Life in the countryside was very dull; there’s no internet here. He didn’t want to take Su Hongxing out and about, lest people discover her.

Su Hongxing must not be used to such a monotonous life, right?

Su Hongxing went into the kitchen, heated up breakfast, and placed it on the dining table, “You come and have some too.”

Xiao Ji sat across from Su Hongxing and noticed that she had also fried a few sunny-side-up eggs.

Su Hongxing gave all the sunny-side-up eggs to Xiao Ji, “You used to love the eggs I fried the most, so I made a few for you.”

Xiao Ji looked at Su Hongxing for a long time before he said, “Xingxing, you’re still the same as before.”

She always seemed tough, perhaps even unapproachable, but she was very tender-hearted. As long as others treated her a bit kindly, she would return it doubly.

Despite him having done so many hurtful things to her, she was still willing to sit with him peacefully to eat and chat. If it were him, or Ye Qilan, they definitely couldn’t have been so magnanimous.
