Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: Your Wife Is Truly Blessed
Taking advantage of him looking out the window, Zhixi unabashedly observed him.
At certain moments, fragments would flash through her mind, making her somewhat dazed.
However, when she tried to chase them, they vanished without a trace.
She bit her lip, feeling a wave of frustration.
"Do you remember what your home looks like?" the man suddenly asked in a low voice.
Zhixi was stunned for a moment, seeing him turn his head to look at her, she realized he was talking to her.
She smiled sheepishly: "I... I don’t really remember, but I know my house is big and beautiful with three full stories and a lovely little garden. The carpet in the living room was very soft, and children loved to run around barefoot on it, or lay there playing..."
"Children?" the man caught onto those words, "Are they your children?"
Zhixi was taken aback again, then shook her head dumbfounded: "I don’t know either..."
Why would the home she imagined have the shadow of children?
A hint of confusion appeared on her face.
The man did not pursue this question, he chuckled softly: "It sounds like a very cozy place."
"Hmm." She nodded vigorously, inexplicably certain of it in her heart.
The man’s eyes brimmed with laughter even more.
He didn’t say anything more.
Zhixi waited for a while, feeling it was polite to ask about him, so she asked: "... Why did your wife get lost? What does she look like?"
The man paused, his deep black eyes rested on her face.
"I think she probably got lost." he said softly, his voice deep and slow, tinged with a lingering sentiment, "As for her appearance... to me, she is the most beautiful woman in the world."
Zhixi suddenly felt envious.
"Your wife is really fortunate. You will reunite for sure." Zhixi affirmed.
The man smiled: "Hmm."
The carriage fell silent once again, and Zhixi felt a little embarrassed, turning her head to look out the window.
After a long time, she suddenly spoke softly: "Driver, please stop the car."
The car quickly came to a stop.
"Have you found your home?" the man suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"Perhaps..." Zhixi said softly, looking at the building outside.
However, after a long while, she shook her head, somewhat disappointed: "This isn’t it."
Although very similar, it’s... not here.
The man glanced outside too, noticing the building’s shape and color resembled Hades Manor.
He slowly smiled: "It’s okay, take your time finding it."
She nodded, still dazedly looking outside.
Just what is different?
...
The taxi drove for two or three hours, until the sunset.
Zhixi still didn’t gain any insights.
"I should go back to the hotel..." she said somewhat dispiritedly, "Are you... still going to look for your wife?"
The man glanced at her, slightly nodding.
"I wish you well." Zhixi said softly, looking at the driver, "Driver, please take me to Muyun Hotel."
The driver responded.
Before long, the car stopped at the hotel entrance.
Before getting out, Zhixi instinctively glanced at the man beside her.
The man just happened to look at her too, and their gazes met.
She’s not sure if it’s her illusion, but every time he looks at her, a few traces of warmth seem to surface in his deep black eyes, as if eternal.
