Yama Reborn-Chapter 549 - 546: Go Find Her and Bring Her Back

Chapter 546 [Go Bring Her Back.]

When they returned home to Jinling City, they deliberately chose a time in the middle of the night.

Quietly, they returned to the old house in the neighborhood.

The house was empty, the children were staying with Ou Xiuhua across the street.

The two of them went inside, first sitting on the sofa, embracing each other for a long while.

Chen Nuo then got up, went to the kitchen, and boiled a pot of water. Before long, he made two bowls of instant noodles.

Lu Xixi glanced over, beamed with joy, and ran to the suitcase, pulling out two sausages.

"You said that instant noodles without sausages have no soul."

Hearing this, Chen Nuo smiled. After the two finished their bowls of instant noodles, Lu Xixi heaved a sigh and blinked with a smile, "Honey~"

"Hmm?"

"I think the instant noodles at home taste much better than the truffle and caviar we had yesterday."

Chen Nuo chuckled, leaned over to hold Lu Xixi’s hand, and pecked her warm lips.

Lu Xixi indulged in Chen Nuo’s scent, then straightened up.

She gently squeezed Chen Nuo’s fingers, "Alright, now that we’ve played enough, let’s talk about the knot in your heart."

"Mm, okay."

Chen Nuo nodded.

He thought about reaching for cigarettes but decided against it.

Seeing Chen Nuo’s action, Lu Xixi furrowed her brows slightly and gently said, "I know that day when you came home, you carried a heavy heart. So..."

Chen Nuo let out a bitter smile.

Lu Xixi continued softly, "So, when you said we should go out, I didn’t ask anything, just accompanied you. Chen Nuo..."

"Hmm?" Chen Nuo was taken aback.

Lu Xixi rarely called him by his name, usually referring to him as [Honey~], and whenever she did call his name, it meant that what she was about to say were thoughts deeply important to her.

"...Chen Nuo... I don’t ask anything because I know you have things on your mind. I just hope you can do what you want to do."

Chen Nuo nodded, looked into Lu Xixi’s eyes, and shook his head, "But what I want to do might wrong you."

Lu Xixi smiled, "Sun Keke?"

"...Yes."

Chen Nuo nodded and then let out a soft sigh, "She killed people. For me... she did something I couldn’t expect, she became an Ability User, entered the Underground World, and got blood on her hands."

Lu Xixi pondered for a moment, "She shouldn’t have lived that kind of life, should she?"

"No, she shouldn’t."

"So... she did it all for you." Lu Xixi said seriously.

Chen Nuo nodded.

Lu Xixi’s emotions remained calm, as if she had already considered all of this.

She still held Chen Nuo’s hand, gently squeezing his fingertips, and slowly said, "Actually, I’ve always thought it was quite unfair to her."

Chen Nuo said nothing.

"She didn’t intentionally come between us; she’s a victim. It was you who sealed your memories, went through the seventeenth reincarnation, and unknowingly developed feelings with her, bringing her into such a special situation."

"Yes, she’s a victim. Sun Keke is innocent." Chen Nuo nodded, "It was wrong of me to involve her."

"But when you got involved with her, you didn’t remember the past memories." Lu Xixi softly said.

Chen Nuo shook his head, "I can’t justify myself like that."

Suddenly, Lu Xixi’s expression turned serious, "Chen Nuo, do you remember what I said to you before?"

"Which ones?"

"Back when... The Fourth Seed, based on your consciousness, created a replicated space, pulling many of you into that world. In that world, you encountered Seed’s residual consciousness, which told you about the seventeen reincarnations..."

Chen Nuo frowned, trying to recall.

But Lu Xixi didn’t wait for him to finish thinking and continued, "After that event, you told me the truth of the seventeen reincarnations... I said something to you then, words you resisted at the time, so I guess you might have deliberately forgotten them."

Chen Nuo’s expression became somewhat strained.

Lu Xixi released Chen Nuo’s fingers, cupped his face with both hands, and leaned forward to kiss the corner of his mouth, then softly said, "I told you then, no, I begged you to promise me one thing: If in this reincarnation, I still die, then let go, don’t try to save me, and let it all end.

If I die, just live this life well in this world, and then... let it all end when it should, whether you become Four-dimensional or whatever, stop these endless futile efforts.

Do you remember those words?"

Chen Nuo struggled internally for a while but finally nodded, "I... remember."

"I’ve never really resisted Sun Keke’s existence." Lu Xixi whispered, "When I first learned about you being reborn to save me... when I realized I might die, I carefully thought about these things.

I sought out Sun Keke myself long ago, and I told her then, I don’t mind. I don’t mind her being by your side.

I even thought, if I really die, well then... at least, she would still be by your side to accompany you."

Chen Nuo was taken aback.

Lu Xixi smiled, "I know you felt terrible in your heart. The night you came back, when we were holding each other, I knew it. So when you wanted me to leave with you for a while, I didn’t ask a word, I just wanted to go along with you. I know you’re carrying so much, you must be very tired, very distressed."

After a pause, Lu Xixi gave a bitter smile, "Honey~ you’ve saved my life seventeen times... Saving me, it’s hard, isn’t it."

"..."

Lu Xixi’s eyes reddened, and she whispered, "I don’t want you to struggle anymore, nor do I want you to carry more burdens. Whether it’s for saving me or for Sun Keke, let all the burdens become lighter."

Chen Nuo was stunned, "You mean..."

"No need to apologize to me, really. Find a suitable time to see Sun Keke, go bring her back—I don’t mind."

Lu Xixi gently smiled, her eyes showing relief, "You’ve already gone through seventeen lives, seventeen cycles of reincarnation, seventeen separations of life and death, seventeen times of heart-wrenching pain to save me—so, Chen Nuo, you don’t owe me anything, you don’t have to apologize to me for anything.

What you’ve done for me is more than enough—not enough, it’s far too much. Who you owe now is this poor girl named Sun Keke."

Chen Nuo furrowed his brows. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Lu Xixi still smiled gently, "Go bring her back. While I’m alive, I’m willing to live in harmony with her.

If one day I really die... handing you over to her, to a girl who loves you so much, who is so willing to give, I would be at ease."

After a pause, Lu Xixi smiled, "I’m not testing you, nor am I deliberately finding an excuse to hit you, I’m serious."

Chen Nuo took a deep breath, whispered, "I..."

"Don’t say anything."

Lu Xixi suddenly hugged Chen Nuo, burying into his arms, shaking her head, "This topic ends here for today... Tonight, you’re still mine alone, let me enjoy today."
