Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 127 Settlement

Outside the house, Lin Ruogui and Qiaoqiao were still waiting. When they saw Bai Zhi coming out, they hurried over to ask what was going on. Bai Zhi made a scissors gesture and told them in a relaxed manner that they could go in and take a look.

There was only Chu Yunchuan left outside, leaning against the wall, with his arms folded, looking at her with an incomprehensible gaze.

With his hearing ability, he must have heard every word. Looking at his compassionate expression, Bai Zhi vaguely felt that something was wrong.

However, Chu Yunchuan didn't say anything. He just took Bai Zhi's hand and held her fingers tightly: "Let's go back to the house."

"Ah good."

Chu Yunchuan didn't say anything all the way until he entered the house and turned on the lights. Bai Zhi sat by the bed and waited for a long time. She couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Chu Yunchuan half-knelt at her feet and looked at her. The candlelight was coming from behind him. Bai Zhi couldn't see his face clearly against the light, but he had practiced internal skills for several months after all. Bai Zhi could hear that his breathing was disordered.

Chu Yunchuan said: "You are not afraid of corpses because you have seen them before."

This wasn't a question, but Bai Zhi nodded anyway: "Yes."

"You always say that eating and drinking are the most important things in the world. You opened a restaurant in Qing County because you were hungry when you were a child."

"Yes."

"You insisted on learning martial arts because you were always beaten when you were a child."

“…That’s not entirely true.”

Chu Yunchuan's voice trembled slightly: "You never told me these things, and I never asked."

No matter how transparent and gentle one is, no matter how one's heart sits on a lotus pedestal, it is not born that way. The older generation in the Thirteen States said that early wisdom is easy to die young, and anyone with a delicate heart must have suffered. How could he forget that?

"These are all things from the past. If you hadn't asked me today, I would have forgotten them long ago." Bai Zhi was careless and tried to brush it off, but Chu Yunchuan obviously didn't think so. He held Bai Zhi's hand in his palm, slowly buried his cheek in it, closed his eyes and said, "Tell me more about your past. As you said, it's better to speak out without hurting anyone."

Four hundred and fifty kilometers, she remembered it clearly, Chu Yunchuan thought, having been alone for so many years, she must have chewed and swallowed all these hard days like a cud. No one listened to her, and no one shared her suffering.

Why didn't I ask earlier?

"..." Bai Zhi's heart softened, and she spoke softly, stroking Chu Yunchuan's eyelashes with her thumb. "Look, I'm living a good life now. I have food, drink, money, a shop, a home, and you. I can eat the food you cook, eat, sleep, and practice martial arts every day. I never dreamed that I could live such a life. Let go of the things in my past life."

"Then take me to the places you've been to." Chu Yunchuan rubbed back and forth in Bai Zhi's hands like a spoiled child, "At least let me see the places you've been to. I don't even know where you were born or where you grew up."

Chu Yunchuan's breath was hot around Bai Zhi's palm, burning her and making her feel a little itchy. She said, "...You can't go to that place."

"Is it in a foreign country?"

"No, how can I tell you..."

Thousands of years later? In another land? She still had no idea what kind of place Dayan was. She had no intention of figuring out what the place she lived in in her previous life was like for Dayan.

But I can't tell Chu Yunchuan so directly. Who knows what he might be worried about... After considering it, Bai Zhi closed her palms, cupped Chu Yunchuan's face and pulled him closer: "It's very, very, very far away. I won't go, and neither can you."

It doesn’t matter where Dayan is. What matters is that she will spend the rest of her life here. That’s enough to know.

But the more something is to be concealed, the more important it is. Chu Yunchuan did not let Bai Zhi brush it off and continued to ask, "Where is it?"

"So, far, far away..."

“No matter how far away a place is, it should have a name.”

Once Chu Yunchuan becomes so stubborn, he will not give up until he achieves his goal. It seems that if he does not tell him, he will not be able to sleep tonight. Bai Zhi struggled with herself for a moment and decided to struggle one last time: "What does it matter if I don't know? Just think of it as my rebirth... No, I am completely reborn. Who cares about the things in the previous life after being born?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Yunchuan really stopped. He lowered his eyelashes, looked at Bai Zhi, then looked at their clasped hands, looking at a loss as to what to say but hesitated.

Bai Zhi: "..."

Otherwise, tell him...

"Ahem, I..."

"Angelica dahurica."

Chu Yunchuan's voice rang out, he raised his hand to touch the corner of Bai Zhi's eyes, and said in a very light voice: "I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"You came from a place I don't know. Will you return to a place I don't know one day, with only a broken body left here?"

This statement was too unbelievable. Bai Zhi laughed and said, "How is it possible? Unless I'm dead, how can a living person's soul disappear in broad daylight?"

Chu Yunchuan looked at Bai Zhi quietly without saying a word. His obviously unbelieving look made Bai Zhi a little confused. She said to herself in detail: "In my previous life, I died first, and Miss Bai Zhi happened to summon me here by summoning souls. Summoning souls will also reduce merits... Yes, if I were still alive, I would never be summoned away. There must be some reason for the cycle of life and death, right?"

Chu Yunchuan suddenly grabbed Bai Zhi's shoulders, lifted her into his arms like a chicken and held her tightly. He used a lot of force, as if he wanted to press her into his body. Bai Zhi's face was pressed against his chest, so close that he could hear the loud noise inside through her clothes and skin.

She wanted to pat Chu Yunchuan on the back, but found that her hands were locked again. There was a rare thin layer of sweat on the chain, as hot as Chu Yunchuan's breath.

"Angelica dahurica."

His entire chest vibrated with the sound.

"You're right, it's a rebirth, and I'll accompany you in this life. I won't let you be alone in this life, I want you to be happy and at ease, and to die of old age." He lowered his head and kissed Bai Zhi's simple bun, and suddenly laughed out of place, "Rebirth, so to speak, you have been in my sight since the beginning of this life, how great."

"Ah, yes, the days to come are all in your eyes, so don't worry about the past life that is so unrelated." Bai Zhi closed her eyes, and all the distracting thoughts in her mind disappeared. She let herself put all her energy on Chu Yunchuan, just like she could put all her energy on the bed at night when she fell asleep.

At this moment, the past suddenly blurred into a hazy mist. Bai Zhi walked in the mist and could no longer see the thorny bushes that used to cover the sky.

In the fog, there was a Chu Yunchuan holding a lantern. He took her hand with his warm palm and walked out step by step.

A place where you can feel at ease and find shelter.
