1913 Marriage Made In Heaven 3 (1/2)
The male partner frowned in disbelief. ”The idea sounds very abstract. How long should we wait for the reincarnation?”
”One's life cannot be reincarnated immediately after death. It will take at least a hundred years,” Shen Jiuli answered.
”That is a long time! I am afraid the one who lives will not be able to wait for so long.”
Shen Jiuli gave them a sharp look and said, ”Your lifespan will be at least a thousand years. The wait of a century is not too much.”
The couple said nothing further. The separation for a hundred years seemed unbearable. Moreover, one of them would lose all memories of the other half. Who knew what was going to happen in the future? They were both afraid to die or even to wait. Also, they were worried that all efforts would be fruitless.
Shen Jiuli continued to give them another push. ”I am telling you now that your gender will be uncertain when either one of you gets reincarnated.”
The couple opened their eyes wide in shock. If the boy chose to die, he could be reincarnated as a girl. At the same time, the girl could become a boy as well. Either way, they would become homosexuals.
In the end, the couple left with their broken hearts. None of them was willing to take the risk, so they had to break up. Ning Xuemo watched as the couple slowly left and sighed. ”Their love for one another is not really intense, after all.”
Shen Jiuli pulled his wife close and comforted her. ”Not many couples are like us, who are willing to face so many challenges just to be with one another. They only chose to die for love because of an impulse.”
”Father! Mother! Was your marriage made in heaven as well?” Shen Nianmo asked while raising his head to look at the sky.
Shen Jiuli denied. ”No.”
Shen Nianmo became even more curious. ”So both of you had to endure so many challenges, only to realize that your marriage was not made by heaven? The heavenly law is unfair!”
Shen Jiuli gave him a long, thoughtful look. ”Yes, the heavenly law is unreasonable, sometimes. Destinies are made irresponsibly. Your mother and I were once a celestial being and a demon. Both of us should be enemies, so our marriage was certainly not made in heaven.”
