Chapter 68: Life’s Decision
People…
Do they all change?
For some reason, listening to this sentence, Lonis’s mood felt somewhat complex and melancholic.
If…
If she had also disappeared for a long time, would Elus fall for someone else?
Mm…
It was probably possible, wasn’t it? After all, from the beginning, Elus liked the orthodox hero, right?
A peculiar hero like herself, who couldn’t even take care of herself, might die one day. How could she provide Elus with a sense of security?
And as Lonis had decided, if everything that happened was unavoidable, and if Elus had truly grown up as an ordinary princess and married a prince from a neighboring country, then she could accept it.
After all…
If that was the future, then she and Elus would never have met, right?
…
However, Lonis hadn’t expected…
Suddenly, Elus turned around and glared at her fiercely.
Her expression seemed to say: Little idiot, don’t you dare think about those nonsensical things, and focus on healing your wounds!
“Waw!”
This time, Lonis didn’t dare to think further. As for Elus? As if provoked by Lonis’s remark, she also showed a bit of emotion.
Facing Yao Ru, her tone seemed to become somewhat uncontrolled.
…
“Yao Ru, do you really think that? When we were together, didn’t you say that we would be together?”
“That’s what I said, but…”
The woman clenched her fist. Although she trembled, she still spoke her inner thoughts: “But, Li Qing, do you know? During the time I lost you, I was so lost and sad, I even wanted to throw myself into the ocean and die with you.”
“!”
“But Zhang Xiaowai found me. She accompanied me, talked about many things, and helped me overcome my painful environment.”
“…”
“She said that people like me shouldn’t commit suicide. After all, life is still long. No one is an appendage to anyone else. Although eternal love is a beautiful story, people ultimately have their own lives. So, I’m sorry, Li Qing, I’m truly sorry…”
…
…
After speaking, Liu Yao Ru knelt on the ground, as if all her strength was gone.
Perhaps she also knew that she was an unfaithful wife, right? Because at that time, she really liked Li Qing very much and longed to share life and death with him.
But reality was so cruel, wasn’t it?
Just like many lovers in long-distance relationships eventually part ways on bad terms… Moreover, Li Qing ended up dying?
So, gazing at Yao Ru’s figure, Lonis didn’t find her despicable, but rather thought it was human nature.
But…
Elus shook her head and said:
“Then, if that’s the case… why were you hiding from me?”
“What?”
“If you were ready to embrace a new life, you should have been honest with me! Even if it was inconvenient to meet directly with Zhang Xiaowai, writing to me through a child would have been fine. Why have I never received any response?”
“!”
This time, Liu Yao Ru was completely stunned.
As for Elus? She took a step forward, and her figure replaced Liu Yao Ru’s once again.
Then, in Liu Yao Ru’s voice, Elus slowly said:
“So, you still can’t let go of everything, can you? You still like Li Qing, don’t you? That’s why you still hold onto the hope that Li Qing will make the decision to cut ties with everything and remarry you.”
“I…”
“You don’t know how to choose between Zhang Xiaowai and Li Qing, and you don’t know what your own thoughts are. That’s why you chose to escape everything, because that way, you wouldn’t have to make any decisions.”
“!”
“But all of this future will be your choice. You cannot escape. You must take responsibility for your own life.”
“I…”
“Yes, no matter what decision you make, that will be your life’s answer. So, make your decision now.”
…
…
Another flash of dark light brushed past, and Liu Yao Ru collapsed to the ground, falling asleep gradually.
This was the convenience of Elus’s abilities. As for Liu Yao Ru, when she woke up, she would treat everything that had just happened as a dream.
In this way, Elus would not have stolen Li Qing’s identity and said things she shouldn’t have.
This method of handling the situation was considered the best ending.
No matter what, Liu Yao Ru should be able to make her own resolution after this, right?
…
However, while Lonis felt admiration for Elus, she also felt a sense of worry.
As expected, her wife had also gone through many things.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said such philosophical words. So…
…
“Wuwu (Elus, are you okay?)”
“Haa, of course, I’m fine. Phew, with this little idiot accompanying me, what could go wrong?”
“Eh?”
“Hmph, it’s the same old story. If I were alone, perhaps I would have done strange things too? But now, I’ve long since come to terms with everything. I have no regrets and no hesitations.”
Elus closed her eyes slightly and picked up Lonis entirely.
This way of holding a loli certainly made Lonis’s cheeks blush, and she couldn’t help but struggle a bit.
But Elus’s next sentence made Lonis completely stunned again.
…
“Moreover, Lonis! Although the future where I might have forgotten you might exist, even then, I probably wouldn’t marry anyone else, whether it’s a boy or a girl.”
“Eh?”
“Because I’ve lived for over a hundred years, but I’ve never met anyone as suitable for me as you, this little idiot. You don’t get angry no matter how much I tease you, and no matter how complex my mood is, you’re always there acting cute…”
“Elus…”
At this moment, Lonis was stunned because Elus gave her a gentle smile.
Her large eyes, her familiar face. Although this smile was soft, it seemed to contain the expectations of a young girl, and it was so beautiful.
Then…
“Hmph hmph, are you relieved now? Little Idiot Fox, I won’t leave you.”
“Ah…”
“After all, not to mention anything else, this feeling of touch is quite good. Your cheeks are smooth, and you look very cute in white stockings!”
“Waw?”
Lonis was startled because the Elus before her suddenly showed a mischievous smile again:
“Your expression is also very interesting! Then, after work later, I’ll take you to the amusement park as a reward for being such a loyal and well-behaved little pet.”
“Wuwu! (Who’s a pet, anyway? And who wants to go to the amusement park?)”
“Eh, you don’t want to? Then let’s go eat a Happy Meal at McDonald’s, there are small gifts.”
“Wuwu ah!”
…
…
And so, Elus carried Lonis and headed into the distance.
