Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 15 (2/2)

I lifted my head and looked at s.h.i.+fu.

“Then why n.o.body wants to be my husband?” (Because they’re afraid of cutie Chu Kong, ah)

s.h.i.+fu opened his mouth. Before he could speak a familiar voice came from outside. It’s the voice of the man in purple, who often appears in my dreams.

“A Xiang lady, I’m willing.”

I turned to look and saw a purple tornado. He jumped over the crowd and walked slowly to the red ball. A pair of white hands picked up the ball on the ground. He patted the dust from the ball, looked at me and smiled: “I’ll do my best to let you have a good life.”

“The person of my dreams?” I whispered. I couldn’t believe that he actually appeared in real life. In my dreams I never saw his face. Now I can see it clearly. I suddenly remembered. Isn’t he the one who was kidnapped together with me by the demon catchers about a year ago?!

“Zihui, “I yelled a little surprised.

That time I left with s.h.i.+fu. Later, I didn’t know if he lived or died. Now I can see that he lived, I was happy.

“Oh, the person of your dreams,” s.h.i.+fu suddenly said with a strange tone. My heart inexplicably trembled. Carefully, I turned around and glanced at s.h.i.+fu. I can only saw an angle of his lips laughing in a sinister and penetrating way.

“Hehehehe, so this was it, so this was it. I calculated everyone, in the end it was someone outside Shengling sect, hehe.”

s.h.i.+fu looked at me with slanted eyes. The anger in his eyes made my legs shaking. He pinched my face and said laughingly: “Amazing, Xiao Xiang Zi. In the past year, where did you and this fellow hook up without anyone knowing?”

Those crazy look in the pair of s.h.i.+fu’s eyes made me a little afraid. My voice shook a little when I honestly answered: “On my bed, when is time to sleep.”

The hand pinching my face, loosened. s.h.i.+fu’s expression turned empty.

“You…You two, already turned the uncooked rice into cooked rice1.”

“No rice and no cooked rice. I only saw him in my dreams. Occasionally we’ll talk,” I quickly explained.

“I only cooked rice for s.h.i.+fu. I didn’t cook for other people. s.h.i.+fu don’t be angry.”

Although I don’t know what’s wrong with cooking rice for other people, but s.h.i.+fu’s temper is inexplicable. I’ll just concede a little.

After hearing my words, s.h.i.+fu turned around. His face was even darker.

“The technique of entering one’s dream.”

s.h.i.+fu looked at Zihui, who was below the balcony and said coldly: “Brother, you really did make efforts for this stupid disciple of mine!”

“After we said our goodbyes a year ago, I missed a Xiang lady day and night.”

Zihui’s cheeks were slightly red. He said in a low voice: “I thought left and right and decided that this is the only way that’s not offensive. Although entering one’s dream is risky, but for a Xiang lady, everything is worth it.”

My eyes lit up. The last sentence completely took my mind. I saw that in the future, there’ll be a figure of a man in Fengxueshan manor, running here and there, doing all the ch.o.r.es.

I looked at Zihui with dreamy eyes, full of hope.

The wood beneath s.h.i.+fu’s leg made a “ge la ge la” sound. The sound is like something being crushed.

Suddenly s.h.i.+fu pulled me. The sight in front of me turned black. It’s s.h.i.+fu’s back. He blocked my view. I could hear s.h.i.+fu saying with a stuffy voice: “Let that thought of yours die, Xiao Xiang Zi will not marry someone outside Shengling sect. Go back where you came from.”

After saying that, s.h.i.+fu dragged me inside.

I looked at Zihui with some dismay. I heard him yell: “s.h.i.+fu, you’re a bit autocratic. A Xiang lady already got the hairpin and no one in Shengling sect wants to marry a Xiang lady. s.h.i.+fu using such a justification to let a Xiang lady stay at your side. Have you considered that it’ll delay a Xiang lady’s big moment in life?”

s.h.i.+fu’s footsteps stopped. He took a deep breath. I don’t know what he’s suppressing. Zihui’s voice continued: “I came with a true heart to ask for a Xiang lady’s wishes. Even if s.h.i.+fu doesn’t want to see me, s.h.i.+fu needs to ask a Xiang lady for her opinion. After all, she’s only your disciple. You can’t decide her whole life.”

s.h.i.+fu’s grip on my hand is painful. I endured it, but couldn’t endure it anymore. I whispered: “s.h.i.+fu…grip is painful.”

The people below are scarred. Inside there still some servants. But they seem like the dead. Even the sound of their breathing couldn’t be heard.

s.h.i.+fu was silent for a long time. In the end he let go of my hand. He turned around and looked at me with dark eyes full of emotions I don’t know.

“Xiao Xiang Zi, say, this man called Zihui, wants or doesn’t want?”

“I…”

I looked awkwardly at s.h.i.+fu. Finally I shook my head and said: “s.h.i.+fu doesn’t want me to want, so I don’t want.”

I stared at my toes for a long time and still didn’t hear s.h.i.+fu say anything.

Curiously, I looked up at s.h.i.+fu. Only to find him frowning. His lips was in a straight line and with his pale face, it seemed like he received a heavy blow.

“s.h.i.+fu…”

“I ask you, do you want to marry him?”

“s.h.i.+fu doesn’t want me to marry, I don’t marry.”

“It’s not about my wishes, it’s about yours.”

s.h.i.+fu seemed obsessed. He stared at me and asked: “Do you want to marry?”

Looking at s.h.i.+fu’s dark face, I this feeling of wanting to hold his hand. I want to say “s.h.i.+fu, don’t make things more difficult for yourself, alright….”

But before I could open my mouth, s.h.i.+fu nodded and said: “Good, you want, he’s yours.”

He left and only left these cold words: “Come back yourself with him to Fengxueshan manor.”

I chased after him. Just when I was on the first floor, the moment s.h.i.+fu saw Zihui, who was coming from the outside, his angry mood raised to another level and he yelled at me: “Don’t follow me!”

I stopped and stood there in the hall, without moving. But my heart couldn’t help but feel frightened. s.h.i.+fu is angry, he wants to leave me.

“A Xiang lady.”

Zihui and s.h.i.+fu pa.s.sed each other. He walked to me. His cheeks were still red.

“Forgive me, last night, hearing you say that, I was a little impatient. Today I came in a rush. A Xiang lady, don’t be angry.”

My eyes were fixed on s.h.i.+fu’s back, who was leaving. Zihui’s word came in from the left ear and went out from the right ear.

“A Xiang lady?”

A hand waved in front of my face. I blinked and my eyes finally looked at Zihui’s face.

I said with dissatisfaction: “We agreed on not meeting anymore.”

“Zihui was stunned for a moment.

“Sorry, but I couldn’t suppress myself. I thought that I still have to come and try…”

I was happy that there someone so willing to be my husband, but s.h.i.+fu doesn’t want…

My head felt warm. It’s Zihui touching my head. He said: “s.h.i.+fu doesn’t want now must be because he’s not a.s.sured leave you in my hands. In the future, if we spend more time together, I believe that he’ll see my true heart. It’ll all be alright.”

I thought for a while and felt that his words are reasonable. My heart slowly felt better.

I saw his hand holding the red ball. I pointed at it and said: “This is for s.h.i.+fu, give it to me.”

The hand on my head stiffened. I looked up and saw Zihui’s warm smile: “Alright, give to s.h.i.+fu.”

I took the red ball and said to Zihui: “I’ll take you back to Fenxueshan manor. Today, you can clean the yard first.”

“……Alright, clean the yard.”
