Chapter 201 - The Reason Behind Rebirth (1/2)

Gao Huan glanced at Lu Jin again. Then he smiled at the butler to gain more information.

”I see, Lu Yin Ze wanted to introduce his friends to Auntie. May I ask who are the friends he did bring?” Gao Huan thought of a certain girl that seemed to have a close relationship with Lu Yin Ze.

”Second Young Master brought his friends from school. Young Miss Xiong, Young Miss Song, and Young Master Gu, are the names of his friends.”

Gao Huan smiled once more.

”I see. How nice of him.” However, behind those smiles was a dubious thought.

'Is Xiong Zhi and Lu Yin Ze are that intimate?'

Guan Gao Huan knew the situation of the Lu family. That's why he was shocked too when he heard that that coward actually managed to have guts to visit the dead. And bringing his friends at that.

But then his smile turned sincere. Seeing them here, would be nice too right? He kinda wants to see what would be the reaction of that girl when she saw him. Would she turn blank? Would she glare? Or ignore him? Gao Huan looked forward to seeing Xiong Zhi.

”So I guess, we will see them?” He was looking at the butler when he asked this but this question was aimed at the man behind him.

Lu Jin nodded.

Gao Huan's eyes glinted with excitement.

Xiong Zhi listened to Lu Yin Ze and Song Xuantin who kept telling stories to their 'Auntie'. They told the deceased Madam about their play, their favorite food in lunch, and even Lu Yin Ze's birthday. Speaking of Lu Yin Ze's birthday made her think about the box.

Xiong Zhi observed the smiling Lu Yin Ze. Thinking that she should give the box to Lu Yin Ze today. The box was still in her possession. After that event, she put it into her backpack to give it to Lu Yin Ze anytime.

Now, it seems today was the right time to give it to him. Xiong Zhi took note that she would give it to him later.

She looked around on the tombstone. What she was interested in this place was the other tombstone beside Lu Yin Ze's mom. The silver-white pavilion.

She back out a little while the three were immersed in telling stories to the newly acquired Auntie.

It was just a quick walk. She entered the pavilion. It was clean and wider than the pavilion of Lu Yin Ze's mom. The setting was the same. It was a wide place with an altar.

Xiong Zhi walked forward. She looked at the portrait of the woman. Silver-hair, silver-blue eyes that shines like moon. This lady was truly beautiful. She recovered some of her memory when she was in 'that' state at the Lu mansion when she saw her portrait.

The voice who woke her up from her slumber, the woman whom she finds familiar, and the image of that man.

It was not complete. But she guessed why she was here. Why she returned back time. Why she was chosen. And why the Lu family....

It was not yet complete. But she could hardly guess.

Xiong Zhi kneeled down and bowed.

[A pity. Truly A pity.]

The voice of that woman seemed to resound again in her ears.

[Strong Soul, wake up.]

”I woke up. Thanks to you,” Xiong Zhi said, speaking to air while her head was still bowed.

The two beautiful silver-blue moons were shining to her, following her every move.

[Do you want a second chance?]

At that time, she, Xiong Zhi could not answer or speak. Her thoughts were jumbled. But the will to live and to find that man whom she dearly loves was strong. So strong that it made the beautiful silver moons turned to crescent.

[I can grant you a wish. Do you want to hear me?]

Xiong Zhi looked up and face the portrait. She lights an incense. While her mind was still reminiscing to 'that' time. To the memory before she gone rebirth.

The strong soul, Xiong Zhi , who still had not found her voice, nodded with all her might. Her soul turned brighter. Seeming to say, [I want to turn back time and see him again..]

[Very well, I will grant your wish to meet him again.]

Xiong Zhi who was kneeling spoke,

”I bet we are same people...”

The voice from nowhere continued to speak.

[But. You have to promise me something.]
