Of course, the continued existence of the spiritual world meant that the alternate personality’s resentment had not been eliminated, and Yue Linze was still in pain. In this sense, their togetherness seemed meaningless. She had been conflicted about this, and a few days ago, she had simply asked him about it.
It was a rare rainy day.
While roasting shoes for Nian Nian by the fire, she hesitated for a long time before finally asking, “You’re not happy, are you?”
Yue Linze was stunned, and asked inexplicably, “Why do you suddenly ask this?”
“I feel that you’re not happy. What are you thinking about? What are you dwelling on?” Tao Yu sighed, placing her hand on his chest, “I occasionally wake up at night and find that you haven’t rested. Why aren’t you sleeping?”
Yue Linze stared at her blankly, and after a long time, he stammered, “I’m not in pain. You’re willing to be with me, and I feel very happy. Every day feels like a dream, it’s just… it just feels unreal.”
“What feels unreal?” Tao Yu asked.
Yue Linze laughed shyly, “You came back, you’re willing to be with me. Being able to see you every day when I open my eyes, all of this feels unreal to me.”
Tao Yu laughed too, then changed her approach, “Do you still have any resentments now? Whether towards me or anyone else, or any unfulfilled desires, tell me. I want to make you happier.”
“You are my lifelong love. I only feel guilty towards you. How could I have any resentments? But something I want…” Yue Linze paused suddenly, then laughed, “There are two things. One would take a lifetime to complete, and the other can only be done at the right time, and might never be done in this lifetime.”
“What are they?” Tao Yu raised an eyebrow.
Yue Linze smiled and lowered his head, “I can tell you about one now, but not the other.”
He paused, grasping Tao Yu’s hand and looking down, “A Yu, I hope we can grow old together. This is what I want most in my heart now. As long as I can grow old with you, when we meet again, although I did unforgivable things, although I tell myself not to have wild fantasies, I still want this.”
