Chapter 10: Reunion of Fate (Part 2)

  As Wang Xu hummed, the familiar melody also reached Xu Shu's ears!

  She could no longer hold back, and tears flowed down her face. All the hardships, all the thoughts, all the grievances, all the loneliness at this moment turned into crystal clear tears, pouring out.

  She suddenly threw herself into Wang Xu's arms and didn't say a word, just kept crying!

  Wang Xu also didn't know what to say, his complicated emotions made him unable to express himself. Maybe now it's not necessary to speak, no need for comfort, just holding each other tightly can make the two lonely hearts understand everything. The only thing needed is to cry freely, to vent out all the suppressed feelings of eight years! Let everything turn into sparkling tears, scattering and flying away...

  It wasn't until much later that the emotions of the two people calmed down after venting. Wang Xu's brain also regained its normal thinking ability, and he thought that this was not a place to talk, so without saying another word, he pulled Xu Shu's hand and ran towards the backyard garden, because there were usually very few people going there.

  After sitting down in the pavilion in the garden, Wang Xu said with a smile: "Wen Ya, I really didn't expect that you would be by my side all along, making me miss you for eight years and suffer for eight years. You hid it so deeply, I really took you as a genius! No wonder you learn things so quickly and often have very unique insights."

  Xu Shu cried and was then filled with the joy of reunion. The pear blossom-like face, with rain on it, looked extremely lovely. Upon hearing this, she suddenly glared at Wang Xu with a hint of annoyance. "You're still the same, not revealing even the slightest clue. For eight years now, we've had quite some interactions, but I always thought you were a genius of this era. I was even wondering how someone like you wouldn't have any records in history? Although I don't understand this era as well as you do, being with you for so long, I still know a thing or two through hearsay and observation. So I've always been puzzled, thinking that you were like Guo Jia and the others, a talented individual who died young, and even more so, one who didn't get to showcase their talents before reporting to the King of Hell!"

  With Xu Shu's beauty, her scowling face should have been charming and lovely, but unfortunately she was only eight years old now, and no matter how you looked at it, it felt awkward.

  "You have a rich imagination, but your husband seems like he was also extremely intelligent in his past life!"

  "Of course! I know my husband is a genius, otherwise how would a beauty like me fall for you?" After finishing, Xu Shu couldn't help but tease: "In your previous life, didn't you say that you were born in the wrong time? Now it's good, right? Your talent can finally be displayed in this era!"

  "That's natural, since you've come to this era, your husband must make a name for himself. Besides, even if I wanted to live a simple life, it wouldn't be possible! In such chaotic times, it's hard to mind one's own business. Even if we managed to find a peaceful place, we'd still be subject to the bullying of various lords and aristocratic families."

  But at this reunion, Wang Xu didn't want to continue discussing this heavy topic. Changing his tone, he jokingly said: "You weren't guessing that I might be a short-lived ghost? Then you shouldn't worry about being betrothed to this short-lived ghost from birth?"

  "What's the matter! That's just a wild guess! Besides, it's precisely because I think he's a short-lived ghost that I'm at ease. If it were really him, I wouldn't know what to do! Alas! Fortunately, it's you, or else I wouldn't know how to go on living in the future."

  Here is the translation:

  As she spoke, Xu Shu's gaze drifted towards the distant sky, and she continued in a melancholic tone: "All these years, I've been so lost. Although it's already a new life, I really can't forget you, nor can I forget everything from my past life. But as soon as I was born, I was betrothed to that so-called young master, and my heart truly felt such pain and reluctance. What could I do? Facing this unfamiliar world alone, I'm really exhausted, and many times I didn't want to live anymore. Yet somehow, deep down, there's a voice telling me to wait, that it can't end like this!

  "Honey, I'm going to tell you the truth, don't get angry, okay?" As she spoke, Xu Shu suddenly turned her head and looked at Wang Xu with a serious expression.

  Without her saying it, Wang Xu had already vaguely understood. But he knew that some things needed to be said by Xu Shu, and her heart knot must be opened.

  Besides, after going through so many ups and downs together, they no longer needed to hide anything from each other. So, he encouraged Xu Shu with a glance, smiled faintly, and said, "It's okay, go ahead and say it! I won't get angry. After all we've been through, what can't we talk about?"

  "Ah!"

  Seeing Wang Xu's face, which was still tender but full of tolerance. Xu Shu responded lightly and looked at Wang Xu's eyes with determination, saying slowly: "This life is in such an era, with such a background! And I feel that all the changes are not going to end like this, so I always tell myself that I'm not dead yet, and I don't want to die just like that. And you, as the young master, can be said to be the best person of this era, and have been very good to me, so I am also trying to accept him!"

  Before Wang Xu could react, Xue Shu herself hurriedly explained. "But there's an even more important reason - a sense of familiarity, I always feel like he's just like you, not just the name, really! You have to believe me, if it wasn't for this reason, I absolutely wouldn't have accepted him." After finishing, she suddenly became anxious and burst into tears.

  Wang Xu couldn't help but burst out laughing at the sight of Xu Shu performing alone there.

  He certainly knew that the other party was telling the truth, Xu Shu had tried to accept his acting as a young master, and as the person involved, he naturally felt it early on, after all, his daily actions could be seen.

  Sometimes hot and sometimes cold, often wanting to speak but stopping, at a young age with a heavy heart. Now that it's been said clearly, everything is naturally understood.

  As for the sense of familiarity, that's a given. I have it too, and I've had it since the first time I saw Xu Shu! After all, as the closest person living together for so long, speech, behavior, habits, and personality are all well understood.

  And who can say that people in love don't have a subtle connection? The reason they can't recognize each other is because of the huge age difference. Besides, this whole thing is just too bizarre, who could have expected it?

  Xu Shu was already more meticulous than him, and actually recognized that the familiar feeling was because they were very similar. And although Wang Xu also had the same feeling, if he hadn't figured out the truth, he might not have understood what that familiarity was until now!

  Thinking of this, Wang Xu also recalled the feelings in his heart over the past eight years, recalling the loneliness, desolation and pain he had endured in a strange world. And as a woman, Xu Shu's circumstances were even more difficult, so she must have borne even more in her heart over these eight years.
