“I don’t know either…” Ru Chi muttered softly, her eyes were filled with tears and she became distracted, as if she was reminiscing.
“When I first met him, I felt that he was my one and only. It’s a pity that I was just a small black magic practitioner, while he was a soldier who brought glory to the country.”
That year, there were rations because of the war. Ru Chi was born into an ordinary family, but she learned some skills and became a black magic practitioner that did good deeds. She also earned some money.
After staying in a small town for a period of time, she was about to find another place to continue when she met Ah Zui, who was about to join the army.
Ru Chi had two braids and a pair of charming eyes. Whenever the two of them exchanged looks, Ru Chi would lower her head shyly.
Although Ah Zui looked meek, his personality was very direct. It was their first time meeting, but he was already attracted by Ru Chi’s temperament. He said to Ru Chi, “What’s your name? Can I marry you?”
Perhaps this was fate. If two people felt chemistry, they would be together for life.
Ru Chi nodded shyly and agreed to Ah Zui’s request.
Battles happened one after another, and Ah Zui had to be on the battlefield for at least half a year every year.
After the war, the men farmed and the women knitted as they chatted under the lights.
One winter, it was snowing heavily. Ru Chi put on a thin coat and was about to pick him up outside of town.
Before she could go out, she was stopped by her mother-in-law, who said that she should wait at home for that kid to come back. There was no need to go out specifically, since it was cold outside.
Ru Chi couldn’t suppress her joy. Many times, she wanted to say something to convince her mother-in-law let her to go out and pick Ah Zui up.
But in the end, she listened to her mother-in-law and waited at home.
Not long after, Ah Zui returned.
However, after staying for a few days, he had to report to battle again.
Ru Chi thought of a solution and said to Ah Zui, “Ah Zui, I want to go with you too.”
Ah Zui shook his head. “War is tiring. I don’t want you to be so tired.”
At that time, Ru Chi was very carefree and insisted that Ah Zui bring her over no matter what.
“I want to go, so that I can take care of you. We can take care of each other.”
The two of them talked for a long time, but Ah Zui couldn’t dissuade Ru Chi at all. In the end, he agreed.
Unexpectedly, Ru Chi became pregnant.
Ah Zui had go out to battle again.
Ah Zui touched Ru Chi’s stomach as he said gently, “I can’t bring you along this time. Take good care of yourself. When the battle is over, I’ll wait for you to bring me home.”
Even though she was extremely reluctant, Ru Chi could only watch as Ah Zui walked further and further away. She could only pray for Ah Zui’s safety every day.
However, in the end, she only saw a corpse and a letter.
It said, “Don’t wait for me. Please take good care of our mother for me.”
After Ru Chi woke up from the dream, she shouted with grievance and anguish, “I hate him for not keeping his promise and for leaving me without permission!”
Liu Yue, who was at the side, seemed to be frightened and looked at Ru Chi in horror, but he didn’t dare to speak or stop her.
Shen Chun listened to Ru Chi patiently.
When Ru Chi realized that Liu Yue was frightened, she hurriedly lowered her voice. “Not long after, I became depressed and became thinner by the day. I lost my child as well, so I want him to come back and accompany me. Is that wrong?”
Shen Chun’s dark eyes lit up. “But it’s not that he doesn’t want to accompany you.”
She slowly shifted her gaze to Liu Yue and continued, “Even after he reincarnated, he was willing to trap that soul by your side, wasn’t he?”
Ru Chi was stunned.
Shen Chun said word by word, “He also said not to wait for him. Why can’t you let go of yourself and him?”
As the saying went, those involved were confused, but bystanders could see the essence of the matter.
Although Shen Chun had never experienced love, she was much more understanding than these infatuated people.
“Is that so?” Ru Chi stared at Liu Yue, who was curled up in fear, in a daze. Then, she leaned over and reached out to touch Liu Yue, but she retracted her hand in the end and muttered to herself, “If I had known this would happen, I would have gone with him..”
