It was bright daylight.
Ji Ting opened his eyes suddenly, and stared at the bed curtain for a long time before returning to his senses. She tried to summon the reader's resentment in her mind, but there was no response for a long time. When she was about to give up, a line of vague words appeared in her mind: Resentment has insufficient energy and has entered a dormant state.
Ji Ting: "..."
The maid who served her personally saw her awake, and rushed forward to meet her: "Your Majesty, when the Governor left last night, I asked the servants to tell you that if I wake up today, I will go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to find him."
"... Oh, I see." Ji Ting's mind was in a mess, and after hearing that Shen Tuchuan wanted to find her, he became even more absent-minded.
The previous memories came back overnight, and she was no longer a seventeen-year-old ignorant and innocent child. What she didn't understand and didn't understand before slowly emerged in her mind, and then she sorted them out one by one.
Combined with what Shen Tuchuan said to herself yesterday, she has already confirmed that he in this world has some previous memories, but the memories are incomplete, so he feels that the reason why he came to him is to seek his life. Pushing forward from this, it is probably not an accident that he fell into the water when he was ten years old... Even entering the palace this time was deliberately done by him, the purpose was to train her, but he never thought that he would still have feelings for her as before .
The more Ji Ting thought about it, the more frightened he became, only feeling that his head was as big as a bucket. These memories might as well not appear. After such a long time, his birthmark will naturally dissipate in the process of getting along with the two of them, and it will be sooner or later to complete the task. Unlike now, he is suddenly stuck in the same position Not to mention, he has become that 'woman with ulterior motives' in his eyes.
... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the memory was triggered after seeing his birthmark, so she asked for all of this.
She fell on the bed with a howl, and the maid next to her was startled: "What's wrong with you, empress? Are you uncomfortable?!"
Ji Ting paused for a while, and whispered for a while: "It's really uncomfortable, you go and tell the supervisor, just say that I want to rest today, so I won't look for him."
"Yes." The maid bowed and was about to leave.
Ji Ting hurriedly called her to stop: "If he wants to come to see me, just say that I have already rested, and just let him go about his own business." She hasn't thought about what to do next, and it's not appropriate to see him yet .
"Yes." The maid didn't think much, she answered and turned around and left, heading straight to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Shen Tuchuan had been waiting for a long time, and when he was about to go to Fengqi Palace to find someone, he saw Ji Ting's maid, and immediately frowned: "Is there something wrong with your mother?"
"Returning to the governor, the empress is not feeling well today and cannot come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so I specially asked the servants to come and inform the governor." The maid said respectfully.
Shen Tuchuan looked worried, and was about to leave when he raised his foot. The maid hurriedly said: "My lord, the empress said that it is good for you to take care of your own affairs. She is just resting today."
Shen Tuchuan paused: "Understood, you go back and take care of her. If there is any discomfort, please come and tell me immediately."
"Yes."
After the maid finished speaking, she returned to Fengqi Palace to return to her command. When Ji heard Shen Tuchuan's words of concern, he felt a little melancholy in his heart. In this world, he only likes her who is ignorant and ignorant at the age of seventeen. Obviously, he no longer has this condition, and he doesn't know how he will react.
Thinking of those lonely souls who died under his hands, and the madness he always hid when he looked at him, Ji Ting only felt a chill on the back of his neck.
The whole day passed in a daze, and at night, Ji Ting was sitting outside eating, when he heard the news of Shen Tuchuan's arrival, he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and turned his head to run in, and wrapped himself in the quilt like a cicada as soon as he took off his shoes Chrysalis, pretending to be asleep.
The movements were still smooth and smooth, and the nurses who were serving on the side were stunned. She didn't try to hide her astonishment until Shen Tuchuan walked in.
"Where's your mother?" Shen Tuchuan asked.
The nanny coughed, and replied with a low eyebrow: "The empress is not feeling well, and my son just fell asleep."
Shen Tuchuan's gaze turned to the table. The dishes on the table hadn't been touched much, there was still a small half bowl of rice in the bowl, and the chopsticks were thrown on the table casually, and one of them was about to fall to the ground.
Sensing his gaze, the nanny blushed: "That, that, these are given to the servants if the mother can't eat them. The servants waited for the mother to sleep, and then sat down and ate some. They got up in a hurry when they heard that the governor was coming. .”
Shen Tuchuan was not interested in who or what Ji Ting rewarded, and he didn't react when he heard the words, he just walked straight into the room, the nanny moved hurriedly, trying to stop him, but in the end, frightened by his majesty, he only moved forward a little Xiao Bu stopped and watched him go into the house helplessly.
After Shen Tuchuan entered the inner room, he saw a round cicada pupa on the bed, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He unhurriedly poured himself a cup of hot tea, sat at the table and sipped it.
Listening to the movement outside, Ji in the quilt sweated profusely on his forehead, half of it was warmed up in the quilt, and half of it was frightened by Shen Tuchuan. Seeing Shen Tuchuan not leaving for a long time, she complained endlessly in her heart, and felt that every minute and every second was torture.
Just when she couldn't hold on any longer, she suddenly heard a slight sound of the chair rubbing against the ground. She knew that it was Shen Tuchuan who stood up, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, ready to get out as soon as he left. It's just that she waited and waited, but she couldn't wait for the movement after the sound, so she became more and more anxious.
Just when she was hesitating whether to stretch her head to take a look, his voice suddenly came from close at hand: "When you fell asleep a few days ago, you were not wrapped up like this."
Ji Ting's heart tightened, and he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
Shen Tuchuan looked at her motionless, a little smile appeared on the corners of his lips, after all, he stretched out his jointed hand, and peeled off the silkworm chrysalis. Seeing the sweat on her forehead, he sighed and wiped it off with a brocade handkerchief. While wiping, he asked softly: "I don't want to see me today, but what did I do wrong?"
Ji listened for a while, knowing that it was useless to pretend anymore, he couldn't help opening his eyes, pretending to be innocent and looking at him: "You are not wrong, I just... It's just that I'm too tired today, I don't want to do anything, just want to Lying down, that's why I don't want to see you."
"I don't bother you to lie down, why don't you want to see me?" Shen Tuchuan was puzzled.
Ji Ting forced a smile, cheered up and said: "You are a kind of disturbance when you are around me. As long as you are here, my heart will always be thumping, and people will also be nervous. How can I have a good rest."
"So, it's all my fault?" Sometimes she was shy, and sometimes she was not as bold as a little girl, and she always teased him so that his mind was shaken, and he wished to give her his life.
Ji Ting's lips were dry: "Yes, it's all your fault, so you should hurry up and don't disturb my rest."
"So, then I have to go?" Shen Tuchuan raised his eyebrows.
Ji listened and couldn't speak anymore, just looked at him eagerly in the cicada pupae. The more Shen Tuchuan looked at her, the more he liked her, and finally leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, Ji Ting shrank back, muttering: "It's all sweat..."
"I like it." Shen Tuchuan smiled.
Ji Ting fixed his eyes on him, and suddenly became firm in her heart, she wanted to hide the matter of recovering her memory. She wants to complete the task and get together with him in the real world, without worrying about the separation of one world from another. She also wants to see him in this world, always with such a smile in his eyes and a little hope for life.
For these reasons, she had to hide it. Anyway, as long as she pretended to, no one would be able to see that she had recovered her memory.
Seeing her in a daze, Shen Tuchuan thought she was really tired, so he helped her cover the quilt again and said softly, "Take a rest, I will come to see you tomorrow." Originally, he wanted to personally teach her the ceremony of enthronement ceremony today, but it seems that Postponed until tomorrow.
"... Mmm." Ji Ting responded softly, and buried half of his face in the bed.
Shen Tuchuan looked at her again, and then turned to leave. As soon as his back disappeared from the corner, Ji Ting took off his disguise, sat up and frowned, thinking about the future.
After Shen Tuchuan left, just as he walked to the gate of Fengqi Palace, he accidentally touched something in his arms, took it out and looked at it for a while, feeling a little dumbfounded for a while. He specially brought this thing today because he wanted to please her personally, but he never thought that when he saw her, he would lose his soul and forget everything.
If he didn't give it today, it would have to be tomorrow, but he was busy with court affairs some time ago, and it had been postponed for many days, and he didn't want to wait for a moment. Without thinking too much, he went back with his things directly. When Mammy saw him go back and forth, she was about to salute him, but he stopped her with a 'shh'.
The nanny hurriedly shut her mouth, and watched Shen Tuchuan walk in with a relaxed expression, feeling that her master's ability is not ordinary, and she even tidied up this person submissively.
Shen Tuchuan, who had been tidied up in the eyes of everyone, walked into the house holding the things in his hands tightly. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Ji Ting sitting on the bed, and stopped walking the moment he saw her. He paused, turned and left.
Ji Ting, who didn't know that Shen Tuchuan had come back, finally cleared his mind after a long pause, and felt a little more at ease. In order to verify her acting skills, she thought about it and asked someone to talk to Shen Tuchuan, and brought Mrs. Ji over that night.
"It's been a long time since I've been in the palace, it seems to be quite deserted here." Mrs. Ji was a little embarrassed.
Ji Ting smiled and took her hand: "The other concubines have been sent away, and the new emperor is not old enough to choose a concubine, so I am the only master in the harem, so naturally it is deserted."
Mrs. Ji held her hand, her eyes were slightly red: "You like to be so lively, won't you be lonely?"
"Even if those people are in the palace, I don't like to associate with them. They are clean after they leave. Now the whole harem is with me, how can I be lonely." Ji Ting comforted.
Mrs. Ji nodded again and again, and the mother and daughter talked about themselves for a while, Ji Ting suddenly asked: "Mother, have you noticed that I am a little different from before?" It was the mother who gave birth to her and raised her. If she didn't see her flaws, then she wouldn't have to worry about Shen Tuchuan.
Mrs. Ji was stunned by the question, and stared at her carefully, Ji Ting looked at her nervously, and heard her say after a while: "It's different."
"What, what's the difference?" Ji Ting's heart sank.
Mrs. Ji smiled: "It seems to have grown a little bit, and it looks better than before."
"Mother," knowing that she was teasing herself, Ji Ting couldn't laugh or cry while relaxing, "I'm not joking with you, have you really not noticed any difference in me?"
Mrs. Ji was silent for a moment, her eyes showed some distress: "There is still a little bit of it. Before you entered the palace, you were far less stable than you are now. Although you have always known that you are doing very well in the palace, you will soon be the queen mother." , it will be a supreme honor in the future, but the little girl of my Ji family is not as happy as before."
Ji Ting didn't expect her to say this, he was moved for a moment, grabbed her hand and promised: "Mother, I'm really fine in the palace, I like life here."
"Don't lie to me, is it really that good here?" Mrs. Ji's eyes were moist.
Ji Ting paused for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, here is everything I like. Now that I am the queen mother, I like it even more. In the future, I will leave the palace if I want to. If I want to pick you up, I will pick you up." , you can do whatever you want, wouldn’t it please you?”
"That shouldn't be too reckless," Mrs. Ji hurriedly told her, and after thinking about it, "but what you said is also reasonable. If you become a queen mother, the only person in the world who can control you is the emperor. However, he is a junior, and generally It's out of your control."
"No, so mother, don't worry about me all the time. In the future, I will ask the emperor for a waist card. If you want to see me, you can come to the palace anytime." Ji Ting comforted.
Mrs. Ji's mood finally improved, and the two chatted for a while, then took a rest together, and they separated at noon the next day.
After sending off Mrs. Ji, Ji Ting's heart settled down, and finally he took the initiative to ask Shen Tuchuan's whereabouts. The maid replied in a warm voice: "I heard from Eunuch Li that the Lord Governor is discussing with the emperor about enthroning in the Zhenghe Palace. This meeting should be almost over for my son."
"Then we can have lunch together," Ji Ting regained his energy, "help me change my clothes, I'll go find them."
"Yes." The maid happily chose clothes for her.
Now that the first emperor is buried, although the whole country should be mourned for three years, but now that the new emperor is enthroned, it is a day of great joy, and no one will really wear plain clothes all day long to add bad luck, so the palace has gradually changed to plain white clothes these days. All put away. It's just that although plain clothes are not necessary, they are not too gorgeous.
Among the dresses that were not too bright, the court lady chose a crimson pomegranate dress that Ji Ting had never worn. This color is quite old-fashioned and restrained, and Ji Ting is suitable for bright colors, so since it was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it has not been included in the selection. Now that Ji Ting is the Empress Dowager, and it is not long after the funeral of the late emperor, it is perfect to wear this color .
With such a plan, the palace maid presented the dress, Ji Ting glanced at it, and let out a surprised 'huh', as if surprised by today's style, but she didn't say anything, just as usual, the good-tempered will Clothes changed.
After the change, a look of amazement flashed in the eyes of the court lady. Ji Ting looked at the style that she had never tried before, and was a little worried for a while: "Will it look too old? I don't want to look so old." She is pretending to be young now. It's too late, how can we deliberately bring up the sense of age.
"You are not old, you are so beautiful, are you a fairy descending from the earth?" the maid praised sincerely. The restrained clothes on Ji Ting did not look old-fashioned at all, but instead made her complexion fairer, almost like porcelain, and added a touch of mature woman's charm to her.
The palace maid originally thought that the concubine's cheerful temperament must be more suitable for a bright and relaxed dress, but now that she looks at it, she feels that she is more suitable for this kind of mature feeling.
Ji Ting looked at the astonishment in the palace maid's eyes, and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment: "Is it really so beautiful?"
"Naturally, it's beautiful. My empress, hurry up and find Lord Governor... and the emperor, they will definitely like it." The maid knocked when she spoke.
Ji Ting got a little more confidence from her praise, and then practiced an innocent expression in front of the mirror, and suddenly felt that he could pretend to be tender again, so he went out in a happy mood.
When she arrived at the Zhenghe Hall, Shen Tuchuan and the emperor had just come out, and they were taken aback when they saw her. Ji Ting was a little embarrassed: "What's the matter? Is it strange?" She felt that the clothes didn't suit her, and she shouldn't know her last name after hearing a few compliments.
"How could it be! Mother, you are so beautiful!" The little emperor walked around her three times with a curious face, feeling from the bottom of his heart, "You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen, and you are worthy of being my mother."
Ji Ting immediately felt better after being praised by him, but still subconsciously looked at Shen Tuchuan, obviously his evaluation was more important.
"Well, not bad." The corners of Shen Tuchuan's lips curled up a little.
Ji Ting smiled: "You haven't eaten yet, let's go together."
The little emperor immediately looked at Shen Tuchuan, and Shen Tuchuan frowned: "Your Majesty, you should have your own opinion."
"Oh... then let's go together!" The little emperor made a decision immediately.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at Ji Ting, nodded slightly, and the three of them went back to Fengqi Palace to have dinner together. The little emperor came here for the first time, and looked around curiously: "Although my mother's place is not big, the decorations are all the best. I originally thought about changing my mother to a bigger and more luxurious palace after I ascended the throne. Now You can't find anything better than here."
"I'm used to living here, it's better not to move." Ji Ting said immediately.
The little emperor nodded: "I like this place too, just now I saw a swing set in the yard, can I play with it later?"
This sentence seemed to be asking Ji Ting, but his eyes were on Shen Tuchuan, and it was self-evident who he was asking for advice. However, Shen Tuchuan didn't speak, but quietly helped Ji listen to the cloth.
Ji Ting smiled: "You just go and play if you like, don't ask me about this little thing."
"Thank you, Empress." The little emperor saw that Shen Tuchuan didn't react when Ji finished hearing, and immediately put rice into his mouth happily, and he deliberately slowed down until Shen Tuchuan reminded him to slow down.
Because he was thinking about playing, the little emperor ran out to play on the swing after he was only half full. Shen Tuchuan glanced at the people left in the room, and they immediately followed them out, and there were only him and Ji Ting left in the room .
The dinner table was too quiet, Ji Ting, who had recovered his memory, was still a little uncomfortable, coughed to break the silence: "The emperor... seems to listen to you very much."
"He had been living outside the palace before, and only started enlightenment at the age of five. Now he can't read a few words, let alone the rules, and can only teach them step by step." Shen Tuchuan explained.
Ji Ting nodded, and couldn't help reminding him: "Although I know you are doing it for his own good, he is the emperor after all, so you can't be too strict, or what if he hates you when he grows up?"
Shen Tuchuan paused: "You are right, I will pay attention."
"Actually, it's nothing. After teaching him to relax, he will remember you in his heart. Children are like this." Ji Ting relaxed a little, and gave him a chopstick of tea tree mushroom, "Try it This one tastes good."
Shen Tuchuan paused: "This seems to be the first time you have served me food."
"...Really?" Realizing that he was moving too much, Ji Ting couldn't help swallowing, and tried his best to make up for it, "I just think this dish is very interesting, there is a hole under the plate, which is specially used to put a With a lighted candle, the food will be hot until the end, so there is a way.”
Shen Tuchuan looked at the candle under this dish, his eyes didn't fluctuate: "There is this dish as usual, why are you so interested today?"
"...I didn't pay attention to it before, and I stared at it for the first time today." Ji Ting hilariously covered up the matter, and then he didn't dare to serve him food again.
The candle went out before the two of them finished their meal. Shen Tuchuan saw it and reached out to serve the plate: "Ask someone to light another one..."
"Be careful!"
Ji Ting exclaimed, but it was too late, Shen Tuchuan's hand had already been stretched out, and he quickly retracted it randomly. Ji Ting hurriedly held his hand, and sure enough, he saw that his fingers were hot and red, and blisters would appear soon.
"Although the candle is extinguished, the plate is still hot, how can you touch it?" Ji Ting frowned.
Shen Tuchuan stared at her for a while, then withdrew his hand: "I forgot for a while, it doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter why, get up." Hearing that, Ji pulled him up, took him all the way to the inside, pressed his hand into a copper basin filled with cold water, and took it out after freezing for a while, then It turned out that there were small bubbles growing on the top.
Ji Ting frowned and asked someone to bring some scalding medicine. After digging out some, he carefully applied a thick layer on his fingers. After applying it, he asked distressedly, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Shen Tuchuan's brows and eyes softened.
Ji Ting still couldn't help muttering: "It's really careless."
"I'll pay attention next time." Shen Tuchuan's temper was indescribably good.
Ji Ting glanced at him, lost his temper after all, wiped off the medicine on his hands and asked, "Do you still want to take it?"
"No, I have something to do in the afternoon, and I'll come see you in the evening." Shen Tuchuan moved his fingertips as he spoke, and it took a long time before he raised his hand to stroke her hair on the sideburns.
Ji Ting hurriedly avoided: "No, you still have medicine in hand."
Shen Tuchuan paused: "I forgot."
"You have to remember, don't break the blisters, or you will suffer," Ji heard, afraid that he would not take it to heart, and immediately added with a serious face, "It hurts, more than It hurts a thousand times when you get burned."
A smile flashed across Shen Tuchuan's eyes: "Have you ever been burned before?"
Ji Ting was taken aback, and coughed dryly for a while: "I haven't been burned, but I've seen others get burned, and it hurts anyway, so pay more attention."
"Well, I see." Shen Tuchuan finished speaking and was about to leave.
Ji Ting hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, and he looked over with a little confusion in his eyes. Seeing his appearance, Ji Ting couldn't help laughing, tiptoed and kissed him on the lips: "Come here earlier, I'll wait for you."
Shen Tuchuan finally had slight fluctuations in his eyes, he stared at her for a long time, and finally responded softly.
After sending Shen Tuchuan and the little emperor away, Ji Ting was bored by himself, so he learned embroidery from the maid on a whim, but gave up after being stabbed twice. She randomly looked for things to do, always felt that the time passed too slowly, and finally went to sleep, which was considered to kill most of the time.
That night, Shen Tuchuan arrived as scheduled.
As soon as he heard that Shen Tuchuan was coming, Ji Ting didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he trotted all the way to greet him. He didn't notice when he went out of the inner door, and bumped into Shen Tuchuan directly, making his nose sore.
"Why are you so reckless?" Shen Tuchuan frowned, and when he saw that she was not wearing shoes and socks, his eyes suddenly turned cold, "I'm going to be the Queen Mother, how decent is it to run with bare feet like this?"
As he spoke, he immediately picked her up, strode into the room sullenly, put her on the soft couch, and covered her with the blanket next to her: "Why are you so anxious?"
"... nothing, just want to go out to meet you." Ji Ting smiled, although he has been getting along with him these days, he is incomplete after all without memory. Now that the memory is back, so is the love in his heart , Even if I meet him face to face, I can't help thinking about him.
How could Shen Tuchuan not understand her gaze, he clenched his fists and then slowed down his voice: "You don't have to come, I will look for you, why be so reckless."
"It's still different after all, I'd rather go to you in person," Ji Ting smiled and held his hand, the tentacles were cold, "Why don't you wear more, the weather is getting colder and colder now, be careful to get sick."
Shen Tuchuan looked at the overlapping hands of the two people, both of whom were fair-skinned, but hers seemed to have a layer of warmth, while her own was cold and white, while her ten fingers were round and delicate, one could tell that she had been pampered since childhood Grown up, it's not like my own hands. Although I haven't done rough work in these years, the scars and calluses left by me when I was young can't be covered up.
Such incompatible hands are now held together, as if they will never be separated for a lifetime. Shen Tuchuan looked at it for a long time before raising the corners of his lips: "It would be great if I could be like this for the rest of my life."
"What?" Ji Ting got closer, and couldn't help laughing when he spoke, "Do you want to be with me forever?"
Shen Tuchuan raised his head and looked at her. The two were so close that they could clearly feel each other's breathing. After a moment of silence, his eyes moved slightly: "Can I be with you forever?"
"Of course, from now on we will stay together in the palace for the rest of our lives." Ji Wen heard that after a pause, "ah, no, the palace is not a peaceful place. We have to be prepared for danger in times of peace. It's good to stay here forever, if one day the emperor If the wings are hard enough to hold us, it will be dangerous, so we still have to make plans in advance."
"What's the plan? How about planning to usurp the throne and push you to be the empress?" Shen Tuchuan said casually, as if asking her what she was having for dinner.
Ji Ting quickly covered his mouth, and looked at him nervously: "Don't talk nonsense, carefully, there are ears on the wall."
Shen Tuchuan smiled and pinched her little hand in his palm: "I'm serious."
"...It's because I know you're serious that I'm afraid," Ji Ting said speechlessly, "I'm not even interested in being a queen mother, let alone being an emperor. Instead of thinking about it, you might as well think about it." When the emperor can't tolerate us, how should we retreat."
After she finished speaking, she paused, and suddenly she was yearning: "How about going to the countryside to live in seclusion? But it should be tiring to do farm work, but it doesn't matter. We are two young and strong, and we must be able to do everything well. If..."
"You never thought about this before." Shen Tuchuan interrupted her suddenly.
Ji Ting shut up abruptly.
Shen Tuchuan's tone was as usual, and his expression was even more gentle than before. He put his cool hand on her forehead, as if the most intimate contact, and also seemed to use internal force to shatter her skull in the next second: "These shouldn't be It was you who were seventeen years old who thought about it, just leave it to me, don't think about it in the future, okay?"
Ji Ting stared at him in a daze, and gradually realized something, a trace of consternation appeared in his eyes: "When did you..."
"Shhh..." Shen Tuchuan frowned, and quickly relieved, "Don't say it, I don't want to hear it."
Ji Ting was speechless for a long time, but still asked: "When did you find out?"
Shen Tuchuan stopped talking, and after looking at her for a long time, his eyes cooled down little by little: "You must know?"
"... If you don't want to say it, then forget it." Ji Ting's voice was not so sure. Thinking about it carefully, he has exposed more than one flaw, and he has already discovered them all, so it seems pointless to ask how he discovered them.
His hand stroked her forehead, and when it passed her eyes, her eyelashes swept across the palm of his hand like a small brush, a little itchy, very interesting. He didn't stay too long, but came to her neck and held her slender neck in his palm.
Ji Ting gradually tensed his back, and said cautiously: "Don't do this, I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of? Do you think I will hurt you?" Shen Tuchuan asked gently.
Ji Ting swallowed, and his throat moved in the palm of his hand. Shen Tuchuan clearly felt that her life was so vivid and real.
The matter has come to this point, there is no point in pretending to be stupid, Ji Ting stabilized his mind, and confessed to him: "Yes, I have recovered my memory... It should have been accidentally triggered by looking at your birthmark that day."
"So you called it a birthmark," Shen Tuchuan said without any emotion on his face, "Have you remembered it?"
"...Well," Ji Ting felt his hand tighten a little, and hurriedly said to him, "I didn't come here to take your life, I came here to save you!"
"Save me?" Shen Tuchuan raised his eyelids.
Ji Ting nodded immediately: "Yes, rescue, you have seen the life of this life in advance, you should also know that you will die tragically at the age of seventeen, if there is no temporary accident, I will definitely save you before your tragic death, and then To take you out of the quagmire of life, I really only want to save you, not to kill you... "
"If that's the case, how do you explain that I die every time I meet you?" Shen Tuchuan said calmly.
Ji Ting pursed her lips: "It's not death, it's entering a new reincarnation. Only when all these reincarnations are finished can we..." Halfway through the sentence, she couldn't make a sound, so she had to change the way, "Only after all the reincarnations are over, can we..." Only then can we truly welcome a better life.”
"A better life?" Shen Tuchuan looked at her fixedly, "Is there anything better than the one where I am in power now?"
Ji Ting was speechless for a while, because it was hard for her to imagine that there is such a job under one person in the real world. Seeing that she had nothing to say, Shen Tuchuan raised the corners of his lips slightly: "If not, then why don't I grasp the moment."
"... Well, you're right. Now you can change your destiny by yourself. It's good to be able to grasp the present moment," Ji Hearing paused for a while before asking him with distressed eyes, "But you really grasp it now." Have you lived? Have you ever had a day where you lived in a relaxed and happy way?"
Shen Tuchuan remained silent.
Ji Ting lowered his eyes, and gently grabbed his sleeve: "That birthmark is actually a trace of pain. The heavier the color, the deeper your pain. You guessed right before. As long as the mark exists, you will be able to live in it." This world has been living until the end of life, but this also means that the pain in your heart has never dissipated, are you really willing?"
Shen Tuchuan looked at her quietly, still not saying a word.
Ji Ting's thinking gradually became smoother, and he talked more: "Since you have some memories of your previous life, tell me, have I ever hurt you? I just want to save you from the pain, before and now. , if I'm not mistaken, this life is the last one, as long as we leave this world, we can meet... in a more real place."
She almost said the word reality, but when the words came to her lips, there was no sound suddenly, and she could express it in another way.
"So, from the very beginning, you only wanted to save me." Shen Tuchuan finally spoke after a long silence.
Ji Ting nodded immediately: "Yes, that's it, so you believe me..."
"So just like I said, every time you get close is not accidental, nor is it from the heart, it's just for the so-called saving me." When Shen Tuchuan said these words, his expression was surprisingly calm.
Ji Ting was slightly startled: "Why do you think so?"
"Isn't it?" Shen Tuchuan looked into her eyes.
Ji Ting was quiet for a moment, then looked at him helplessly: "You can see that I am pretending to have amnesia, if I don't like you, wouldn't you be able to see it more easily? But you really think that I have never liked you for a moment ?”
The doors and windows didn't seem to be closed tightly, the candlelight on the table trembled slightly, Ji Ting looked at the silent Shen Tuchuan, and gradually felt a little cold. Just when she was about to say something in a panic, Shen Tuchuan suddenly said, "I know what you mean."
Ji Ting breathed a sigh of relief: "Then..."
"But how many other things are mixed in your mind, I can't be sure." Shen Tuchuan discovered for the first time that talking can make him even breathe. "I don't care about the past life, I only know that this life , you can no longer please me without distracting thoughts like before."
Ji Ting seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and his heart sank gradually.
Shen Tuchuan looked into her eyes firmly: "In this life, I once wanted to kill you. It was my fault. Now I have suffered retribution. When I was willing to give you my life, you are no longer you, Ji Listen, if it is true as you said, I need you to get out of the quagmire all my life, then I hope you will stop interfering with my life in this life."
"Because from the moment you are no longer you, I am a quagmire."
The author has something to say: Chuaner: Break up, break up, break up, I can't bear it!
Ji Ting: Are you sure
Chuaner: ...I didn't say anything
