“So soon.”
When Tang Guo heard the system’s voice, she was dazed for a moment. “How did so much time pass just like that?”
System: It’s hard to explain. This host of mine.
Tang Guo came back to her senses. “Alright. I understand.”
The system was a little curious. How would the host say goodbye to this big cutie Qin Jiu?
After all, Qin Jiu had always indulged her. The host probably would not bear to make him too sad.
Then again, with the host’s conscience, it was hard to be sure.
“Ah Jiu.”
“In a little over a year, I’ll be leaving.”
Qin Jiu’s heart tightened. He held her hand. “I know.” He counted the days every single day. With each year gone, his unease deepened. A part of him had hoped she had forgotten about leaving.
“You really have to go?”
“I have to.” Tang Guo looked up at him and smiled. “Even though the heavens here don’t dare punish me, there are still things I can’t resist. There are some matters I haven’t figured out yet.”
As long as she kept living, she would eventually understand everything.
“Ah Jiu, don’t be sad.”
“I’m not.”
“You’re lying.”
Qin Jiu cupped her face and kissed her. “I am sad. I can’t even hide it from you. What is it that makes you leave? If we join hands, can’t we resist it?”
“No.” Tang Guo shook her head. “Don’t even think about it.”
Qin Jiu thought to himself that thinking about it was exactly what he was doing.
“Then I’ll come find you later.”
“Where do you plan to find me?” Tang Guo asked with a smile.
“Of course in the Ghost Realm.”
“You won’t find me there. This time… I will directly reincarnate.”
System: Understood. So the host is going to use reincarnation to placate him. That does make it easier to accept.
If she said she was reincarnating, Qin Jiu would not go searching recklessly. If he searched and could not find her, he would probably lose his mind.
“Reincarnate?” Qin Jiu had not expected that answer at all.
“Yes. Reincarnate.” Tang Guo said, “So don’t look for me. Live out this life in peace. In the next life, you’ll meet me again.”
Will we?
Qin Jiu felt doubtful. If she reincarnated so early while he had to live out his entire lifespan before reincarnating, there would be a gap. After hesitating, he asked, “If we reincarnate at different times, will there be a big age difference?”
Tang Guo: “…” What exactly was in this man’s head?
Qin Jiu suddenly thought of a terrible possibility. “If I don’t arrive in time, will you like someone else? By the time I get there, will you already have grandchildren? What would I do then?”
System: No wonder these two ended up together. Same wavelength.
“There won’t be many people who can move me the way Ah Jiu does.” Almost no one could love her so purely, willing even to lay down their own principles and pride. Of course, anyone she chose to love, she would also protect their principles and pride. Love required mutual respect.
“If Ah Jiu thinks I’m an old woman and dislikes me, you can go find someone younger. Just don’t appear before me again.”
“No. How could I find someone else? If you’re an old woman, then I’ll be an old man. That way we’ll still be a perfect match.”
System: That’s real enlightenment. No wonder he won her heart.
