It wasn’t just her beautiful face, but especially her eyes – a pair of lively, water-green eyes, clear as emeralds.
I pulled at the corners of my mouth and said with a wry smile: “Let me tell you a story, a story called ‘Past Life and Present Life’!”
“Many years later, in some place, there lived a pair of young lovers, the man gentle and handsome, the woman bright and carefree. Their love might not have been passionate, but it was tender and affectionate. Just when they thought they would get married, an unexpected event occurred that surprised everyone…”
After finally narrating the story roughly, I looked up at him with some difficulty: “I know my story might seem absurd, but I want to tell you that this is a true story, because I am the woman in this story…”
Bei Ting Zi Han calmly interrupted me: “And I am the past life you’re looking for, right?”
I was slightly stunned, then nodded lightly, looking at him uncertainly: “Does your reaction mean you believe my story?”
He stared at me intently, saying coldly: “What difference does believing or not believing make?”
I lowered my eyes sadly, speaking softly: “I no longer expect to return to Xu’s side. I just don’t want anyone to harm him, even his past life!”
“You’re saying someone will harm me?
“Bei Ting Zi Han slightly furrowed his brow, his expression turning ugly, and coldly laughed: “Ha, even if that’s the case, what good would it do for you to stay by my side? Would I, Bei Ting Zi Han, need protection from a woman?”
“That’s not what I meant!” I hurriedly explained: “I just…”
“Just what?” Bei Ting Zi Han impatiently interrupted: “Even if I truly am Mu Zi Xu’s past life, in this lifetime, I am myself. I am Bei Ting Zi Han. I don’t need anyone’s protection, especially not from a woman who still has someone else in her heart. Leave—”
“Don’t be like this. I just want to watch over you, to make sure you’re safe. Let me stay by your side, okay?” I kept shaking my head, pleading.
