Chapter 364: Chapter 371: Do You Mind
Han Yu had always been skeptical about such matters, but over the past few days, many things he had discovered about his wife didn’t seem to make sense by ordinary reasoning, especially the words she uttered during childbirth. Though he hadn’t shown it, he kept those words in his heart, and some guesses were almost surfacing. Besides, his wife’s restless tossing and turning in bed indicated that there must be something on her mind. The tone of her voice left no room for jest, compelling him to ponder further.
“There is no smoke without fire. Such tales, albeit not entirely true, usually have their reasons. However, birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws. The notion of eternal youth is far too fantastical, at most one could hope for life extension. Perhaps the secret lies within that sheepskin map,” Han Yu objectively analyzed. He had only seen a sheepskin map inside the Colorful exquisite lamp, which was why he entertained such speculation.
“Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws, yet perhaps here, the concept of eternal youth means something else, a rebirth in a different manner,” Su Wenyue almost revealed her secret with those words. She believed that Han Yu must have noticed something, which was why he hesitated before responding. After all, as a couple who lived closely together, and considering Han Yu’s meticulous and shrewd nature, she might have betrayed more slip-ups than she had imagined. Speaking out could be for the best. Otherwise, if Han Yu kept his suspicions bottled up, there would always be a thin barrier between them, bound to cause issues sooner or later.
Hearing Su Wenyue speak so, Han Yu’s body trembled, as the answer he had long been guessing was about to be revealed by his wife.
“My Wife…” Han Yu wanted to say something but didn’t know whether he should continue to ask, when Su Wenyue spoke first.
“Husband, the matter I’m about to discuss, you may find it bizarre and difficult to accept. Therefore, I’ve been too afraid to speak up until now. But I can’t keep it from you any longer because you are my Husband, my closest person. We’ve promised each other honesty, and if by chance it bothers you, I…”
Han Yu interrupted Su Wenyue’s ensuing words, “My Wife, I don’t mind. I’m glad you’re willing to confide in me. Since we are Husband and Wife, whatever it is, I’m ready to face it with you.”
As he spoke, Han Yu drew Su Wenyue into his arms, held her hand as if to give her resolve and strength, reassuring her of his unswerving intention, and dispelling any further doubts she might have.
Initially uncertain and hesitant, Su Wenyue found these feelings vanish in that moment. Given Han Yu’s intelligence, he was bound to guess something. With such an attitude displayed, she had nothing to hesitate about.
“Actually, I am reborn. In fact, I’ve lived through two lifetimes. In my previous life, I never understood what was most important. I made many mistakes and met an unhappy end. I thought it was the mercy of the heavens that I was given another chance to be reborn, bringing me back to when we first got married. But after hearing the legend of the Colorful exquisite lamp and reflecting on my experiences, I’ve realized it’s not so simple—perhaps my rebirth is because of this Colorful exquisite lamp.”
Although Han Yu was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked to hear Su Wenyue confess such a reality. He had made guesses before, but due to a sliver of uncertainty, he had considered other possibilities, wondering if he was overthinking. But now, his wife indeed revealed she was reborn, which explained many previously unanswerable questions.
