Chapter 41.6: The Second Day Evening
[Lanhua’s] Invitation:
How could this be possible?
To reverse time and replay the same scene was not something a split personality or an invisible ghost could do!
She could actually do such a thing.
Or was what just happened merely my hallucination?
Perhaps this was Zihua’s unique ability?
What was even more surprising was that she had actually changed a “foregone conclusion”!
Even if something that had already happened were to happen again, it would repeat the same trajectory. That was because of the existence of ‘fate,’ yet she had changed it! Calm down, Lanhua. Perhaps it was only because the person who received the bouquet was not of much consequence, that it could be changed so easily.
I inquired of Zihua with my eyes, why she had done such a thing.
Of course, she immediately understood and answered my question.
“This time, I was just briefly amused, so I did something so childish. If you hadn’t received the bouquet, you would have cried right there. Crying at a wedding would be too embarrassing, so I just didn’t want to see a pathetic scene of you, who look just like me, crying. Do you think I helped you?” he asked.
Wasn’t it?
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. I’m not offering you any help. Whether it’s you or me, when have we ever needed such pity?”
I couldn’t understand her words, I still couldn’t understand her actions.
Zihua’s motives, her reasons, or even her emotional actions, were completely incomprehensible.
“Cannot understand, what a joke.”
“Lanhua? What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Hmm, I’m fine~ Heehee, receiving the bouquet means we are destined, Juncheng~”
“Hmm, congratulations, Lanhua.”
I tidied up my emotions and quickly returned to my usual self. I embraced Juncheng’s arm with a happy smile and kissed his cheek, just as Ji Lianbing had done earlier.
Juncheng showed a slightly surprised expression, but since it was at such an occasion, he didn’t hesitate for too long. Instead, he returned my smile.
Yes, he was smiling at me, and what had happened before had become as if it ‘hadn’t happened’.
The feeling of loss and recovery made my mood a little carefree. I’m really like a little girl, aren’t I?
“Don’t get carried away just because you received the bouquet. You haven’t gotten Juncheng yet, and this bouquet doesn’t mean anything. Hoo, but this time I might have done something unnecessary…”
Zihua probably intended to mock me as usual, but she stopped halfway through. It seemed like because she had intervened in this matter herself, she felt she had no right to lecture me.
Besides, even if she didn’t say it, I already understood. This bouquet meant nothing, I knew that very well.
But even so, I was very happy.
Because, the distance had narrowed by one step. Getting closer and closer to Juncheng, I could now come to his side, touch him, even hug or kiss him.
Zihua didn’t say anything else. She just opened her parasol, and with a sway of her body, she disappeared again.
Judging from her intervention this time, she was definitely not a simple person. So, what exactly was she?
Unknown.
After the wedding, we went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
Feeding Juncheng was also a very happy thing. Perhaps because we hadn’t quarreled, Juncheng seemed more relaxed, not as tense as he was in the morning.
Great! With a little more effort, I could make Juncheng completely let down his guard!
Perhaps tonight would be the best opportunity.
In the afternoon, we went to the old military base on the island. It was a building used for developing weapons during the war, and now it had become…
However, because the military base was located in a relatively remote part of the island, few tourists visited it. We only came here because we happened to catch the island’s bus and came by chance.
But even so, it took an hour’s bus ride to get there. Other students also did not choose to come here. Besides the four of us on the bus, there was a person who looked like a fisherman and another person with a camera, likely doing investigative work. After getting off the bus, I shielded my eyes from the sun and looked around. “The attractions here all seem to be very niche places, don’t they?”
“Not at all. It’s really an uninhabited place. Let’s choose a closer place like the lighthouse.”
Most of the other students chose to visit some of the famous scenic spots on the island. There were also…
It was extremely rare for someone to travel so far to such an unpopular spot. Maybe I’ll just push Juncheng down here.
Unfortunately, it’s not just Juncheng and me alone. If it were just the two of us…
Hoo hoo hoo.
“Hehe, what a serene and beautiful place~”
Lianbing expressed her thoughts in an elegant tone. This place was just like a scene from a horror movie!
“Rather than serene, it’s desolate. If there were no cicadas…”
Ah. When I had free time, I would be at the abandoned pavilion. Evening Study Session.
“Juncheng would probably like this kind of place. In the past, during the day, he mostly stayed in the library, preferring quiet places. But this place also carries an indescribable heaviness.”
“Mhm, that’s true. I prefer places with little noise.”
A feeling, and it was a bit… suffocating.
“After all, it’s a military base. Look at this ruin. Many people must have died here. Maybe there are zombies or something.”
“Uh, it’s increasingly like a horror story. Novels won’t suddenly appear, right?”
“Oh, honestly, the atmosphere is not brewing correctly!”
SF Light Novel/ Oops, I shouldn’t have! I need to guide the topic in the right direction!
“Mmm, Lanhua, what are you doing? Cheer up, don’t make this mistake again. Can I pray for them?”
“There does seem to be a heavy feeling. I sense the souls of the deceased,” Phil said with a solemn expression.
Phil, who had been smiling all the way, also put away his smile.
“Hmm? If that’s the case, we should go together.”
Juncheng blinked and suggested we go together, but Phil shook his head and said. “No, please let me go alone. That is also my duty.”
“I’ll check when the next bus arrives. It won’t be for another two hours. So, let’s meet back at this station in two hours, okay?”
“Since Phil, you said so, alright.”
“Thank you. May the Lord bless you.” Phil then broke away from the group and went ahead to the ruins alone, crossing himself in front of his chest. He went to the ruins alone.
Hoo, now there’s one less annoying person.
If it’s just Juncheng and Lianbing, I can do something bold. I embraced his arm, leaning my head on his shoulder.
As I thought this, I moved closer to Juncheng, my chest pressing against him. Ah, I also pretended to accidentally guide Juncheng’s hand into my cleavage. Hmmph, it’s just a little bigger than mine. My chest is also… Today’s white dress indeed highlights that large bust. Although she’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat decorated with bright fake flowers, her appearance and demeanor make her look like a young lady from a wealthy family. And indeed, that’s how it is.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew and swept away Lianbing’s hat.
“Ah, I’ll go get the hat.”
“Let’s go together. It doesn’t seem to have flown too far. The deciding factor now is who can attract more of Juncheng’s attention and gaze.”
It is basically impossible to get rid of Lianbing, so we must try to act together.
Chasing the hat that had blown away, we bypassed the ruins and came to the mountainside field.
“Ah, Juncheng, look!” A vast expanse of blue flowers covers the ground like a carpet, painting the land with their color.
“Is this… it’s not right, is it an orchid? But I haven’t heard of blue flowers.” Flowers tend to absorb blue light,
“It’s a mutated species of orchid, Azure Orchid. It is said to be almost extinct. Due to environmental pollution, it has almost disappeared. So, it is not easy to exhibit blue. This is even more so for the Azure Orchid. It feels like finding a treasure to find such a field of flowers here in recent years.”
“Young Miss is truly well-learned, no doubt SF Light Novel.”
I pouted and said acidly.
But, orchids? And blue ones too. Don’t you think it’s very fated?”
“Hehe, Orchid. This flower has the same name as you, Lanhua.”
“Hmm, it is indeed fated. It would be too regretful if nothing happens here.”
“Since there are so many, let’s leave some memories behind here then.”
“I’ll go get the hat first.” As I walked to where the hat had fallen, I turned to look at Lianbing.
Juncheng withdrew his arm from our embrace and walked alone. It proved her feelings for Juncheng were genuine, and precisely because they were genuine, she was troublesome… She found that she was also looking at me. At this moment, for some reason, we had a tacit understanding and walked over together, approaching Juncheng from behind.
So I nodded, and she returned a smile. The two of us…
“Lianbing, your hat….” Puchi! Juncheng and I, no, Lianbing and I, lunged towards Juncheng together.
And then, as Juncheng picked up the hat and stood up to turn around…
The three of us fell into the flower field together, scattering a large patch of blue…
“What the heck, why…”
“Hoo hoo~” on his shoulder. Through Juncheng’s chest, I could see Lianbing on the other side, but at this moment, I felt no jealousy. Instead, for some unknown reason, I felt a sense of relief, and this feeling made me smile involuntarily. Lianbing also seemed to feel the same.
“We’ll be struck by divine punishment, won’t we?”
“Hehehe, then let’s be struck by divine punishment together~” It means we can be reborn together in the next life, be together.
“Reborn again?”
“Again? You seem to have known me in a past life.”
“Ah, nothing. I just heard Yu Hui say that you… Didn’t you look like you had resolved your old issues and found peace when I saw Yu Hui yesterday?… Did Yu Hui finally talk about past lives with Juncheng? It must have been bothering you.”
“Is that so? If that’s the case, in our past lives, we must have… You two not arguing today is quite surprising. Did you reach a truce?”
“I don’t know much about past lives, but…”
“It probably wouldn’t be permanent.” A truce also has a purpose.
Of course, it’s not permanent. Moreover, this temporary truce… I extended my hand and placed it on his chest. At this moment, she also reached out and placed her hand on the other side of my chest, holding me tighter. Hoo ah…
Perhaps feeling our actions, Juncheng also embraced me tightly, putting his arm around my waist.
This feeling… It’s so good. I would give up everything else for it. If I could always be held in his arms like this…
“If Juncheng wishes.”
“We can stay like this forever.” In this aspect, we are almost on par.
Perhaps this was the first time she and I truly reached a consensus. “Holding you on my left and right like this, I feel like I’ve already won the game of life.” It’s a bit too happy, which makes me a little scared.
“Hehehe, what are you afraid of?” This silence… “That is, if I say my love is enough for both of you…”
“Afraid of you two arguing endlessly? And afraid of losing the current you two? Will you kill me on the spot? Hahaha.”
“We will.” “We will.”
“Think about it, Juncheng. How many women have you provoked so far? Is your love enough to be distributed to everyone? Can you distribute it equally? Can you truly love us all… You selfish woman!”
“What are you doing! Are you still forcing Juncheng? You selfish woman!”
“If you want to hit me, try again. I promise you…”
Ah… Argh. Juncheng and Lianbing said similar things almost at the same time, in unison.
Just as Juncheng was about to lose his temper, I and…
“Just kidding~” “Just kidding~” We said in unison.
After kissing Juncheng’s cheek together, Lianbing and I…
“Hehehe, we also know that Juncheng doesn’t like this kind of development, right?”
“Then, have we decided to get along well?”
“Hehehe, this is what all men dream of. Aren’t you truly the winner of your life?”
“Be happy, Juncheng. This is not an illusion. We will make you… You just need to relax and enjoy it.”
“Don’t be afraid, don’t worry so much. You just…”
“We will serve you together.” “Tonight, please leave two spots by your bedside.”
The moment our palms touched, our minds connected. “This is what it means, right?”
“Let us share this man first…” “Then we will serve him…”
“This is exactly what I want!”
