Chapter 9: Reunion of Fate (Part 1)

  With Wang Xu speaking out, this matter became much simpler.

  It's not just because the other person looks cute, but mainly because Wang Xu has a good impression of this girl. Especially after Wang Xu accidentally heard that she was going to be his future wife, he became even more concerned about her.

  Unfortunately, the girl always kept a distance from him except when necessary and never had much communication with her. Moreover, Wang Xu found that she had worries at such a young age, which were deeply hidden, and it was hard to discover if they hadn't been together for long.

  The most crucial thing is that this girl turned out to be quite intelligent. If Wang Xu, the genius, was a fake, then she was the real deal, and an all-around talent in both literature and martial arts to boot. It's just that apart from Wang Xu, very few people noticed this point, and simply regarded her as a quiet ordinary little girl.

  Of course, Xu Rui and his wife are exceptions. Because Wang Xu had secretly seen Xu Rui sighing at the back of Xu Shu: If only she were a boy, how great it would be!

  The days passed by, and before he knew it, five years had gone by. If he didn't count the nostalgia for his past life and the hidden pain in his heart, Wang Xu was also extremely happy and content. His martial arts skills had made great progress, not to mention his culture, which was already unmatched in this era, and now he had read many books that he couldn't have read in his previous life.

  Although it can't be said that his knowledge is profound, compared to the ability to actually handle things with knowledge, not many people can surpass him, and his reputation has been rising accordingly!

  Among the people around him, what still intrigued Wang Xu the most was Xu Rui's daughter. As he grew older, Wang Xu felt that she was increasingly mysterious. Moreover, he gradually developed a strange sense of familiarity with her.

  After five years of getting along, the two can be considered friends, but that familiarity is completely different. Wang Xu couldn't figure out what was going on either, he could only tell himself: Maybe I've gradually come to like her!

  Apart from these, the people in the family also knew Wang Xu. Among them, what made him feel like he was dreaming was that his third aunt and mother had given birth to a son and a daughter respectively. His third aunt's son, who was also his half-brother, was named Wang Xiong and was born on May 2nd three years ago. Wang Xu's younger sister, who shared the same parents as him, was named Wang Ling and was born on February 8th of last year.

  In addition, last year a person whom Wang Xu attaches great importance to was also born. That is his younger cousin, the second son of his uncle Wang Qian, Wang Can, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove in later years, who also wrote "Records of Heroes", a book recording the deeds of heroes at the end of Han Dynasty, and himself is good at handling internal affairs, but now he is still just a child who likes to play with mud!

  Thinking back on the events of the past few years, Wang Xuguang smiled wryly to himself, and lost interest in reading. He slowly put down the bamboo slips he was holding and walked out of his study.

  From a distance, Wang Xu saw Xushu Zheng crouching on the ground writing something with a branch. Wang Xu was curious and quietly walked over. However, before he reached her, Xushu seemed to have finished writing but remained staring blankly at what she had written.

  Wang Xu couldn't help but smile secretly, never expecting that this usually profound and mysterious 8-year-old girl would also have such a dazed moment.

  But as he curiously walked in and was able to see those few words clearly, his reaction was even more intense than Xu Shu's.

  His footsteps suddenly stopped, his breathing was rapid, and his head instantly went blank, staring blankly at what Xu Shu had written on the ground.

  At this time, Xu Shu seemed to have also discovered that there was someone behind him and suddenly turned his head around. He was initially startled but then smiled slightly and said: "Has the young master finished reading?"

  Wang Xu was also recalled to God, but his heart suddenly "thumped!" violently. An unthinkable thought appeared in his mind, a pair of eyes staring straight at Xushu.

  Perhaps it was Wang Xu's gaze at this moment that was a bit frightening, so Xu Shu immediately stood up vigilantly, quickly turned around, took two steps back, and looked at Wang Xu with puzzled eyes. "Young Master, what's wrong?"

  Wang Xu heard her words, but he didn't have the mood to respond. His mind was filled with shock, all because of those five words on the ground, and the peach heart between the second and third characters!

  That was a familiar simplified Chinese character that he couldn't be more familiar with, and it was the names of two people - Wang Xu, Xue Wenya.

  That assumption had filled his mind, and as the memories of that day gradually cleared up, this assumption was finally confirmed by Wang Xu.

  Yes, that day Wenya was also enveloped in white light just like me. Now Xu Shu can write simplified characters and knows Wenya's name as well as the pattern. Just now she panicked probably because she feared I would understand the words written on the ground, but later thought it impossible for me to recognize them, so...

  Thinking of this, Wang Xu suddenly felt an inexplicable bitterness in his chest. He, who had never shed a tear since birth except when he was just born, couldn't control the hot tears gushing out, and his extremely excited emotions left him speechless for half a day.

  Xu Shu saw Wang Xu cry for the first time and was immediately startled by his actions, furrowing her brow. "Young Master? What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Has this servant done something to offend you?"

  Upon hearing Xu Shu's words, Wang Xu felt another pang of heartache. Taking a deep breath, he looked up at the clear blue sky and tried to calm his emotions...

  After a long time, the girl gazed deeply at the front with deep emotion and called out tearfully: "Wen Ya..."

  As soon as he spoke, Wang Xu suddenly felt a cold aura shoot over.

  But just for a moment, Xu Shu's face changed instantly, her pupils shrinking, her eyes widening, and she stared at Wang Xu in stunned amazement as he quietly shed tears. Wang Xu clearly felt Xu Shu's breathing becoming more and more urgent, her chest rising and falling irregularly.

  The two of them remained silent for a long time, staring at each other. Finally, Xu Shu couldn't bear it anymore and called out in a trembling voice: "Husband? Is that you?"

  She spoke in a language from her past life, and those beautiful big eyes also moistened with her words...

  When Wang Xu heard the call that seemed to come from a distant space, he really couldn't express his emotions at this moment. There was bitterness, sorrow, love, pain, and the vicissitudes of life as if separated by the ages, but also the joy of reunion.

  In the end, all of this turned into a smile and four short but firm words. "It's me! Wife!"

  As he spoke, Wang Xu couldn't help but hum a song that the two of them used to love - "Knowing Each Other in Wind and Rain".

  "It's hard to dispel the various worries, but knowing each other's love is strong. The sea of emotions changes, and the foolish heart encounters cold wind. Scattered in all directions, they can meet again tomorrow. The rustling sound of the wind weeps bitterly in the midst of a violent rainstorm. Drifting and turning in the ocean of people, it's just a dream, but deep feelings will be passed down forever, floating in the vast expanse of time. When the snowflakes are falling, I hope the flowers will also bloom brightly red, not fearing the misty rain on the road..."
