Chapter 138 Choice
Yuan Lai let Cheng Xuan do whatever he wanted, and the bandages on his body were tied into a beautiful knot on his chest.
"The wound is healing better than expected."
Qi Rong and Su Deyi sat upright on the sofa, while Qingtian sat at a loss on the coffee table.
"Also, what are you doing with a sheep? I think this sheep has some developmental issues. Normal sheep shouldn't be this small."
"Mee~" Qingtian looked at Qi Rong in confusion. She was sleeping soundly, so why did he suddenly bring her here?
Especially this Su Deyi, he doesn't look like a good person.
"Lord Huaxuan, are you trying to bully the weak?"
Su De's eyes widened and he shouted exaggeratedly, "Wow! What a slap on the wrist! It was clearly you who breached the contract at the last minute, yet you're still feeling wronged."
……
Qingtian asked back, "This is a matter between me and Lord Huaxuan. Who are you? I saw you and Yuan Lai were very close earlier."
Not many people knew Su Deyi's true identity, and Su Deyi was too lazy to explain. In the past, such matters could only be left ambiguous, but now he chose to speak the truth, "I am a spell cleanser, and I am here to fulfill the wish that the curser has placed on you."
As the scattered clues came together, some truths slowly emerged. Qingtian fell into thought, "No wonder, no wonder I felt so close to Yuan Lai the first time I saw her. Lord Huaxuan, who always lived in seclusion, even came to the back gate to take care of Yuan Lai. And even made a deal with me."
"But you broke the contract." Qi Rong's tone was not very good.
Su Deyi was also very curious. "You knew you were sick and that you were doomed. Huaxuan also promised you that he would arrange everything. Why did you change your mind at the last minute?"
Yuan Lai was confused by what she heard, but Qingtian knew what she knew already, whether it was her heart disease, the final outcome, or the existence of the curse on her body.
"Actually, when Master Huaxuan came to see me, I was very moved. After all, no one can resist the temptation of an adult. But when I looked at his eyes on the screen, I just couldn't bear to let him go."
"Have you ever thought about Yuan Lai? She might lose her life because of your decision."
Qingtian suddenly began to collapse, backing off the coffee table and jumping off. "I'm not as great as you guys. I don't care about anything. I'm just very selfish. I can't bear to see them sad. I admit that I'm selfish, but aren't you also doing this for yourselves? Am I wrong?"
Yuan Lai didn't know what was going on in the conversation between the three people, or why their emotions began to fall apart. She couldn't speak, so she could only worry.
She took a lot of effort and jumped onto the coffee table in the middle, trying to ease the situation between the parties, telling them to talk things over nicely and not to quarrel!
Su Deyi looked at Qingtian who had retreated to the door and said, "Xiaoyang, but do you know? The ending is already determined. Even if you extend your life for a few more days, you will still die of illness. And because of those few days you deliberately extended your life, Yuan Lai will die in your place."
The others looked at Su Deyi in shock. When the bloody truth was laid out before their eyes, not everyone could accept it.
"Don't look at me. As a spell clearer, I have the responsibility to tell both parties the truth. Hua Xuan kept preventing me from saying anything, and I thought he had some clever tricks up his sleeve, but it still ended up like a foregone conclusion. The wish of a person who makes a curse cannot be changed by anyone's interference. To fulfill a wish, the parties involved must make a choice. Yuan Lai's life and death now depends entirely on this sheep."
Qingtian suddenly looked up at Yuan Lai, who was covered in bandages. "How could this happen?"
Yuan Lai smiled bitterly. She didn't know how things turned out like this. Sudeyi's words made it seem as if she was forcing Qingtian to die.
All of a sudden, she and Qingtian were inexplicably standing on opposite sides of fate.
When Qingtian is born, she dies; when Qingtian dies, she seems to be able to live.
"Throughout history, countless infatuated men and women have been entangled in endless struggles over their wishes. I've seen so much that I've become numb. Huaxuan, you should see through all this better than I do. Yuan Lai's arrival here was inevitable. You really shouldn't have appeared at the back gate."
Su Deyi took out the jade flute from his waist, and the ethereal sound of the flute rang out. Qingtian suddenly came back to his senses and met Qi Rong's gaze.
"Lord Huaxuan, please let me think about it." After saying that, Qingtian rushed towards the darkness outside without looking back.
Su De patted Qi Rong's thigh and said, "See, I told you it's unbelievable. Wasn't the lesson under the shrine enough? He's already disappeared. What else do you expect to change? Get ready and arrange Yuan Lai's funeral."
With the departure of Su Deyi and Cheng Xuan, the living room suddenly seemed exceptionally empty.
Qi Rong lowered his head slightly, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
Yuan Lai walked forward and rubbed Qi Rong's hand, "You are a good thigh, if it is difficult, just don't worry about it."
She also understood that novels were all lies. There was no such thing as defying fate and changing one's destiny. Reality was cruel. If, in the end, there was really nothing that could be changed, she would only regret not being able to see her parents and brother one last time.
Qi Rong touched Yuan Lai's head, as if he understood Yuan Lai's thoughts, "I'll take you somewhere when it's daybreak."
Yuan Lai couldn't fall asleep that night. Her mind kept flashing through all kinds of people and events, from the school to Houdoumen, from Lin Ting to Qi Rong, each person's figure and name were deeply imprinted in her heart.
She recalled the time she spent in school, her former classmates, teachers and friends, their smiles and words still seemed to echo in her ears.
Now, she had arrived at Houdoumen, where everything felt both strange and familiar. She began to adapt to her new environment, meet new people, and experience new things. Qi Rong's appearance surprised her and became her support.
On this night, Yuan Lai realized that she had been deeply integrated into this place. Whether it was the school or Houdoumen, whether it was watching shows or personal experiences, she had her own memories and emotions.
Are you afraid? Of course I am.
But she is just a cat, covered in wounds, unable to speak, so what else can she do?
Qi Rong wanted to save her, but the process was very difficult. They met by the river, so why force it?
Sunny... She was just a little lamb that escaped death, she did nothing wrong.
In this accident, no one was at fault, but she was the one who had to be sacrificed.
Would she still turn on the show if she could?
The next day was the 25th of 2023, the 186th day that the brothers had been farming, and the 67th day that Yuan Lai had arrived at Houdoumen.
It's a sunny day.
The second brother got up early to prepare a nine-square cake for his brothers.
I was still very surprised when I saw Yuan Lai appear on the kitchen table. "You haven't come up for a long time. It seems that your injury is almost healed. You can jump up such a high table. But I made cake this morning, you can't eat it."
