805 -20: The Demon Child’s Confession_3
It was after caring for Tang Xian for these days that she gradually got used to it.
It is now nine o’clock at night.
Just outside the clinic is the shopping street.
Under the influence of fireworks, Baichuan City would likely define this day as the beginning of the New Year.
Li Xiaoyu thought that such bitter-sweet celebration might be a necessary part of life for the people of Baichuan City.
Tomorrow, the people of Baichuan City can really take a good rest.
It’s not about giving up anything, but if this man doesn’t wake up, it seems like everything that follows would also be meaningless.
Li Xiaoyu hadn’t had a proper sleep for several days, and as she was extremely tired, she decided to take a short nap beside Tang Xian’s bed, hoping it would be wonderful to wake up and find Tang Xian awake as well.
The clinic’s surroundings were lively.
It’s uncertain how long this hustle and bustle will last.
Before, when it was quiet, Li Xiaoyu had trouble sleeping; but today, amidst the unusual noise and celebration, she surprisingly felt drowsy.
She still lay beside Tang Xian’s bed and soon fell asleep.
Li Xiaoyu had a dream.
In the dream, the world was about to be destroyed; Baichuan City was ravaged by the Order’s judgement army.
She carried Tang Xian on her back, wandering around, while everyone in the world begged her to hand over Tang Xian, but she refused.
She didn’t want to choose between Tang Xian and the world because what Tang Xian was doing was to benefit both sides.
But if one day she had to choose between this world and Tang Xian, she would choose Tang Xian without hesitation.
The dream was short because in the middle of it, while she was coldly confronting the world, she suddenly woke up.
A pair of hands was caressing her face, startling her awake from her not-so-deep slumber,
The dazzling fireworks and the brilliant night outside were vaguely visible from Li Xiaoyu’s position through the window, but she paid no attention to them.
Because Tang Xian suddenly woke up.
Tang Xian’s eyes gazed at Li Xiaoyu, and Li Xiaoyu gazed back at Tang Xian.
Just like when he appeared a long time ago, how the world changed didn’t matter at all.
Tang Xian originally thought that he would be trapped in that state of consciousness for a long time, but these days, it was as if he sensed something, something was tugging at his thoughts.
It was somewhat abrupt, waking up in the middle of the night, then opening his eyes to see the person he most wanted to see.
Hearing the happy voices outside the window, Tang Xian’s mood suddenly became less troubled.
“Are you hungry?” Li Xiaoyu blurted out after a while, coming up with this question.
Tang Xian shook his head, his mind quickly returning to the scene before he was almost killed by Nether Phoenix’s domain, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke:
“Li Xiaoyu, I have something to tell you.”
“Huh?”
Li Xiaoyu’s heartbeat inexplicably sped up because Tang Xian’s gaze was unprecedentedly serious.
“I always thought that maybe it’s after spending a long time together, like my parents, binding the rest of one’s life to another person, that I couldn’t understand those feelings.
Maybe Xiuxiu couldn’t understand either, but she still got together with Shang Lu.
Perhaps some things don’t need to be understood.
I have always pursued rationality, but can life be completely calculated through reason?
Maybe sometimes, I should listen to my heart’s emotions.”
“You…
what are you trying to say?
I…
I’ll pour you a glass of water,” Li Xiaoyu suddenly became flustered.
“I counted the days; we have known each other for seven years now.
There aren’t many seven-year periods in a person’s life, and the path I walk is also dangerous.
I don’t know if there will be another seven years for you to wait for me.”
Tang Xian smiled gently and said:
“We have already crossed over the distance between mountains and rivers, and the class barriers have been removed too.
But even if there is separation by life and death in the future, I want you to be the person to share life and death with me.”
Bang!
The water glass hit the ground, and Li Xiaoyu stood there, tears silently streaming down.
