Chapter 294 - 294: Never a Man of Reason
“Da Lang, do you think it’s a blessing in disguise for Xi’er?” Zhao Chuchu remembered Tian Qi’s nervousness about Xi’er and asked Xie Heng.
Xie Heng chuckled and said, “Things are unpredictable. If Xi’er likes him, they will make a good couple. If not, then the hunter will probably be put in the friend zone by her.”
“You’re right. Love can’t be forced, But let’s hope that Xi’er will meet a good man so that Deng Dalin and his son can be relieved.”
“They will be. You are a lucky star. All those who meet you will be blessed with good luck.”
“Like me, Xie Jun, and Yuan Hui…” he thought.
“Then I suppose everyone would like to know me, right?”
“Well, because you’re a lucky star, so yeah!”
Zhao Chuchu giggled.
She naturally tilted her head to lean against Xie Heng’s shoulder and looked up at the starry night sky. She hadn’t felt so relaxed for a long time.
Xie Heng looked sideways at the top of Zhao Chuchu’s head, and his eyes gradually filled with tenderness,
“Da Lang, can you look at the stars with me?” Zhao Chuchu turned her head to look at Xie Heng.
Xie Heng nodded his head.
“Okay?’
The two of them found a grassy slope and sat down.
Zhao Chuchu lay down and put her hands behind her head. “I haven’t seen the stars like this for a long time.”
“Is it because there’s too much going on?
“Well, I was very busy before the world was in chaos. Then the world took a
sudden change. I haven’t gotten around to appreciating nature like this. To
survive, we struggled every day. We had to look out for ourselves because you
never knew if your friends would betray you.”
“Then you…”
“Me? Although I was not on the front line, I saw death every day. Wounded people can become enemies at any time. Da Lang, compared to my world, the Wei Dynasty is much more peaceful.”
Although Zhao Chuchu did not go into details, Xie Heng could hear from those few words what kind of world it was.
“Da Lang, my homeland was once a country that ten countries like this one combined could not defeat even if they went all in, but later it became a broken land. Still, it was the country with the most survivors in the whole world.”
“Do you really want to go back?”
“Yes.”
The feeling of loss immediately rushed to Xie Heng’s heart.
“But…” Zhao Chuchu suddenly rolled over and looked at Xie Heng. “Now I don’t, probably because I don’t belong to my homeland anymore.” n or how did I not avoid the arrival of doomsday and survive it? Instead, I was transported to this world and met Xie Heng,” she thought.
Xie Heng froze for a moment.
Zhao Chuchu chuckled. “Everyone has a past. I admit I miss the past, but the future is worth looking forward to because of you.”
Xie Hengs loss dissipated.
He leaned down and kissed Zhao Chuchu on the forehead. “Chuchu, I will never let you regret your choice.”
He wanted her to stay with him for the rest of his life. “I will do my best to give you everything you want.”
“Okay, time will prove it.”
The tip of Xie Heng’s nose rested against Zhao Chuchu’s forehead, greedily taking in her breath.
At this moment, Xie Heng’s heart was at peace like never before All those schemes and tricks were far away from him. He only saw Zhao Chuchu in his eyes.
He once held supreme power, but now when he looked back on the past, it was all just a moment of glitz. Only the present was the most important.
“Chuchu, when you come of age, let’s get married again, okay?” Xie Heng asked in a soft voice.
The one who got married back then was not Zhao Chuchu.
Even if Zhao Chuchu was indeed under his wife’s identity now, Xie Heng still wanted to give Zhao Chuchu a rightful ceremony, He wanted to marry her with her own identity.
She was not a substitute for anyone.
“Okay.”
Zhao Chuchu looked at him with a smile and agreed.
This was the wedding of Zhao Chuchu, who came from doomsday, and Xie Heng, who was reborn.
It was not about anything else but their love for each other. Even if no one knew, they wanted to tell the world they were a couple who had held a wedding ceremony.
“Da Lang, why don’t we go watch the sunrise? It’s coming soon anyways!”
Zhao Chuchu suddenly became interested, got up, and pulled Xie Heng to go. With their skills, it would take a blink of an eye before they reached the top of the mountain.
Zhao Chuchu didn’t wait for Xie Heng to agree. She leaped up with her arm around his waist and rushed straight to the top of the highest mountain nearby.
The foggy sky was still decorated with stars. They felt extremely proud and refreshed when they looked into the distance from above.
The dark red ribbon gradually covered’ the sky. The orange sun slowly rose, and the distant fog began to dissipate.
The haze was so bright that the rolling hills were dyed golden by the morning sun as if they were dressed up in costumes.
The two stood side by side, bathed in the magnificence of the sunrise, like immortals ready to ride the wind.
Xie Heng had seen the sunrise and sunset in the border desert, but there was never a scene whose brilliance could come close to this.
He quietly looked sideways and committed the outline of Zhao Chuchu to his heart.
He would never forget the sunrise he saw with Zhao Chuchu.
“It’s beautiful.” Zhao Chuchu exclaimed, “In front of the sunrise, we all look too smalln”
Time was endless, but the sun continuously repeated its track day after day. The only thing that changed was the state of mind and the people around us.
“If you like, we can see the sunrise all over the world.”
“High mountains, deserts, seaside…”
“And the sunset that’s as beautiful as the sunrise.”
Zhao Chuchu turned around and met Xie Hengs dark eyes, “With you, even if it’s just playing in the mud, that’s the most fun game. But Da Lang, I remember your promise today. One day, you have to fulfill what you said today.”
“Sure, I will.”
Xie Heng said, reaching out to pull Zhao Chuchu into his arms. He used to think that love would prevent one from achieving his goals until he met Zhao Chuchu. Now he just wanted to give her his whole world.
Zhao Chuchu listened to Xie Hengs heartbeat and felt calm all over.
It was already dawn when Xie Heng sent Zhao Chuchu back to the Yuan clan.
Zhao Chuchu was lying in bed, tossing and turning, but she didn’t feel like sleeping, so she simply got up again.
For her, she could skip sleep for three or four days.
Yuan Hui walked out with a yawn, looking very messy.
“What are you doing here in the early morning?” Yuan Hui saw Zhao Chuchu looking radiant and wondered if she had been sleepwalking all night last night. Otherwise, she didn’t know why she was so sleepy.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I got up.” Zhao Chuchu laughed. “What, were you robbing someone last night?”
“I wish, then maybe I stand to win something, and I’ll just let a few hours of sleep pass.”
“I’ll give you some medicine latera It’ll help you sleep better, so you don’t have to wake up like this every day.”
“That’s brilliant!
Yuan Hui stretched out and had breakfast brought up.
Before the two of them could start, a maid hurriedly came to report, “Miss Yuan, Miss Lin, someone from the Xia clan is asking to see Miss Lin..”
