Since I knew it was the heart-glimpsing rune's test, I decided to make up for my regret. I knew there were many hurdles in my heart that I couldn't get over. My parents' and grandmother's deaths were one of them, and so was my breakup with Zhang Yan. These hurdles were also the source of my insecurity.
I could only untie the knot in my heart after I got over it.
Hence, I followed my heart and proposed to Zhang Yan.
My parents and grandmother had passed away when I fell in love with Zhang Yan, so they naturally didn't have the chance to meet her.
In this parallel world, perhaps the heart-glimpsing rune had preserved the contents of my memory when it made up the plot, but Zhang Yan had never met my parents either. In this parallel world, perhaps the heart-glimpsing rune had preserved the contents of my memory when it made up the plot, but Zhang Yan had never met my parents either.
After I told my parents that we had been dating for two years, they finally realized that my decision to get married wasn't an impulsive one.
After we met their parents, the wedding date was set. It was on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month — the Chinese Valentine's Day.
We had two and a half months to prepare for the wedding, so we were well-prepared.
Time flew by, and soon, it was the day of the wedding.
Zhang Yan wore a white wedding dress, and she looked like a noble swan among the crowd. Fortunately, I wasn't a toad. In my black suit, I looked like a black swan too.
We exchanged wedding rings with our relatives and friends as witnesses.
When I put the wedding ring on her slender ring finger, the huge regret in my heart was finally made up for.
During the two years that I had been with her, I had considered spending the rest of my life with this woman more than once. My wish had come true under the heart-glimpsing rune's influence.
My parents and grandmother were still alive, and I had married the woman I loved the most. I felt that I had no regrets in this life.
However, I kept my guard up. The plot was going so smoothly that it could even be said to be perfect. However, I still didn't know what the heart-glimpsing rune's test was.
After three rounds of drinking and seeing off all our relatives and friends, Zhang Yan and I returned to our wedding room that only belonged to the two of us.
We turned off the lights, and the bright moonlight shone through the sliding door of the balcony onto the bed in the bedroom.
Looking at Zhang Yan, who was wearing a white dress, taking off her clothes under the moonlight, my heart almost stopped beating.
Under the gentle moonlight, her skin was as white as snow, and she seemed to be glowing.
At that moment, I was completely immersed in it. I had completely forgotten about the test of the heart-glimpsing rune …
When I woke up the next morning, I felt as if I had forgotten something, but I couldn't remember what it was. I had a hangover headache and a sense of unrealistic reality.
"Lin Zi, have some honey ginger soup." Zhang Yan brought over a cup of drink.
I took the cup and took a sip. Then, I looked at her with an evil smile. "Don't you think you should change the way you address me, Waifu?"
A trace of shyness flashed across Zhang Yan's face, but she still bent down and stared into my eyes. "Okay, my husband!"
"Come, give your husband a kiss," I turned my face and teased.
"No, you haven't even washed your face." Zhang Yan curled her lips, her face full of disgust.
"Aiyo, my head hurts." My acting skills came as I said it.
"Hurry up and drink the honey water. It will help with the hangover." Zhang Yan also knew that the feeling of a hangover was not good.
"I'll drink it if you kiss me." I continued to act shamelessly.
Zhang Yan's warm lips touched my cheek, but as soon as they touched, she straightened her body and snorted. She looked down at me and said, "Drink it, don't leave a single drop behind!"
"Okay, Waifu." I drank all the honey in one gulp. When I reached the bottom, I even licked the last few drops with my tongue.
"I'm going to disinfect this cup …" Zhang Yan pretended to be disgusted. She held the cup with two of her fingers and turned around to the kitchen.
…
After our marriage, we fell in love with each other again. After two years of being together, we knew each other so well that we could read each other's thoughts just by looking at each other.
The happiness of having a tacit understanding made me fall in love with each other. I had no idea if it was real or not. I even forgot about Xiao Hei, Bai, Charcoal, Tyrant … I forgot about Life Power, sword skills, telekinesis, witchcraft … I forgot that my parents and grandmother had disappeared from my life …
Every morning when I woke up, I felt like something was missing in my brain, but I could not remember what it was.
Three months after we got married, Zhang Yan was pregnant.
I did not have time to think about what it was. The happiness of being a father had completely occupied my heart, my mind, and even my soul.
When I was nine months pregnant, the child was born naturally. It was a son.
The crystallization of love not only made Zhang Yan and I happier. Raising a child was tough, but Zhang Yan and I were in pain and happiness at the same time. To be exact, there was more happiness than pain.
When our son was almost a year old, my wife got pregnant again. This time, she gave birth to a daughter.
Our son and daughter grew up day by day. After the two kids went to the herb garden, my wife and I could finally relax a lot.
I was promoted and became a department manager. My wife's work was back on track, and life was getting better day by day.
The only bad news was that my grandmother had passed away. On the day she passed away, some strange images flashed in my head. However, they only appeared for a moment before vanishing into a cloud of smoke that people couldn't catch.
Time passed by, and our children grew up. They went from kindergarten to elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university. My wife and I had finally completed our task of raising our children.
During this period, our grandmother passed away.
Both of our children started working independently, and my wife and I did not have to worry about them anymore. I then realized that time flew by. My wife and I were getting old, and our hair was turning white …
The year our son got married, our father passed away. A strange image flashed through my mind again, but again, it disappeared in a flash. I could not remember what it was.
After our daughter got married, our wife and I had grandchildren. Our mother passed away too …
Although our lives were getting better, our wife and I were getting older. When she was 87 years old, I finally sent her away. Our marriage lasted for 62 years, but our love could not defeat time …
The day she passed away, a lot of images flooded my mind. However, I only treated them as illusions, and I was completely immersed in the pain of losing her.
Losing a person that I had been with for 62 years felt like my soul had been taken away, and I became helpless …
After my wife passed away, my health deteriorated day by day. Every day, when I closed my eyes, I would dream of my wife and the past. I did not know if it was because of my poor mental state, but I ate less and less, and my body became weaker and weaker.
Although our children tried to help us recover, we could not stop the aging that time brought.
On the hospital bed, I woke up from my coma with an oxygen mask on my nose. I knew I did not have much time left.
"Dad …" Our son's eyes were red, and I knew he had just cried.
Our daughter held my hand. "Dad, do you want to say something?"
I nodded very slightly, but even this small movement made me feel tired.
After taking off the oxygen mask, our son and daughter came closer. "Dad, go ahead. We're listening."
I tried to speak as loud as I could, but my voice was still soft and weak. "I have no regrets in this life …"
After saying that, I seemed to have lost all my strength. Looking at the white ceiling of the hospital, I felt my body slowly sinking. It felt like I was falling into somewhere.
"I seem to have forgotten something. What is it?" Suddenly, a strange thought popped up in my head. I carefully thought about what I had forgotten.
I heard my son and daughter wailing in the hospital ward, and the cries of other people. However, the cries were getting further and further away, as if they were being isolated by something.
Images began to flash in my head. My father opened the door to let me in, my mother preparing vegetables in the kitchen, my grandmother watching TV in the room, my wife's snow-white skin under the moonlight …
Wait, why do all my memories start from when I was 25 years old?
What about the memories from before?
I felt strange.
Just then, another inexplicable image began to appear.
On a rainy night when I was nine years old, I was doing my homework in the house. Suddenly, the phone rang. After picking up the call, my father ran out like a madman, without even an umbrella.
When he came back, he was in a daze. It wasn't until the next day that I found out from my grandmother that my mother wouldn't be coming back.
When I was thirteen years old, I was already in junior high. I was studying at night when my class teacher suddenly called me out of the classroom.
He told me, "Lin Huang, something happened to your father. I'll send you home."
When I reached home, my grandmother was sobbing uncontrollably. I kept asking the class teacher and found out that my father had a heart attack. It was too late to send him to the hospital.
When I was nineteen years old, I was in class when I suddenly received a call from my second aunt. She told me that my grandmother had passed away …
When I was twenty-four years old, Zhang Yan called me. "Let's break up …"
These memories that were completely different from reality made me confused. "Where did these memories come from?! Why is the time wrong? "
My body was getting heavier and heavier. The movie scenes in my head, from the beginning to the end, were displayed in front of me. Every detail was crystal clear.
When I felt that my body was about to fall into an endless abyss, a familiar yet strange name suddenly flashed in my head. "Xiao Hei?"
As the name popped up in my head, one after another, names popped up in my head. "Bai, Charcoal, Tyrant, Kelly …"
"Oh yeah, my name is Lin Huang. I have Life Power, telekinesis, and witchcraft in my body. I know sword skills, flying daggers, and I can summon monsters … I'm now in the virtual world created by the heart-glimpsing rune!"
As the thought popped up in my head, the sinking feeling finally disappeared. Suddenly, my eyes lit up and the dark world began to collapse.
