"Why do you want me to come back with you?"
Jiujiu's question caused Chu Hai's eyes to darken. Chu Hai was silent for a moment before he looked up at Jiujiu and said, "Because I've waited for too long. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when we'll meet again."
Jiujiu looked up in surprise and looked at Chu Hai with a puzzled expression. "You've been waiting for me?"
Chu Hai nodded. "I've been waiting for many years."
It had been so long that he didn't know how many years he had waited. He only knew that time had passed very slowly, so slowly that he almost wanted to give up.
Fortunately.
Fortunately, he didn't give up. Otherwise, how could he have waited for Jiujiu?
When Chu Hai said that he had been waiting for her, Jiujiu could still count on him. However, when he suddenly said that he had been waiting for her for many years, Jiujiu was momentarily stunned. Recalling that she had seen people from the past when she was doing missions, Jiujiu subconsciously sized up Chu Hai and tried hard to recall if she had seen Chu Hai before.
However, no matter how hard she tried to recall, the final answer was that she had never seen Chu Hai before.
After all, Chu Hai's appearance was too otherworldly. If she had seen him before, how could she not have any recollection of him?
Jiujiu looked puzzled. "You've seen me before?"
If she hadn't seen Chu Hai before, could it be that Chu Hai had seen her when she wasn't paying attention?
Chu Hai shook his head slightly. "No."
She had never seen Chu Hai before and Chu Hai had never seen her before. Then why was he waiting for her?
Jiujiu was even more puzzled. "Since you've never seen me before, why did you say that you were waiting for me?"
"I've dreamed of you before." Chu Hai lowered his head and looked at Jiujiu. His gaze was as gentle as a hot spring. "Ever since I was young, I've only dreamed of you. Master said that you're my calamity."
He didn't expect Chu Hai to have a master.
If Chu Hai was already such a miraculous figure, then how powerful would his master be?
Jiujiu blinked and asked curiously, "Where's your master? Where is he now? "
If Master Chu Hai was still here, then she would be able to find out from Master Chu Hai why Chu Hai was waiting for her.
When Jiujiu asked about Chu Hai's master, Chu Hai's eyes instantly darkened. "He's dead."
Jiujiu said, "Then why aren't you dead?"
Jiujiu was not scolding Chu Hai. She was just curious.
If Chu Hai's master had to experience life and death, then why was Chu Hai immortal?
"Of course I won't die if I have an obsession in my heart." Chu Hai looked at Jiujiu and said with a smile, "How would I dare to grow old without seeing Miss?"
Jiujiu was speechless.
Chu Hai's sudden words of love caught Jiujiu off guard. After a moment of silence, Jiujiu looked at Chu Hai and asked, "Now that you've seen me, will you die?"
Chu Hai shook his head. "I won't?"
Jiujiu said, "You said that I'm your obsession. You won't grow old because you haven't seen me. Now that you've seen me, you won't grow old. Doesn't that mean that I'm not your obsession?"
"Of course Miss is my obsession." Chu Hai looked at Jiujiu and his eyes became even gentler. "It's just that I won't die when I see Miss. Because I want to marry Miss."
Jiujiu said, "… You'll die if you marry me?"
If he married her, he would die. Wasn't Chu Hai trying to make her a widow?
Moreover, he had just accepted her as his disciple and now he wanted to marry her.
Why, did he want to raise her?
Jiujiu's straightforward words made Chu Hai choke. Chu Hai paused. "I won't die immediately, but I'll start to grow old normally."
When she heard Chu Hai say that he wouldn't die if he married her, but would grow old normally, Jiujiu couldn't help but retort, "Then why do you want to marry me? Are you looking for death?"
Chu Hai said, "I want to fulfill my wish. Miss, you're not me, so of course you don't know. Immortality is really painful."
He could only watch as the people he was close to grew old day by day, while he himself remained young for ten years.
Perhaps in the beginning, he would feel lucky that he didn't have to worry about growing old, becoming ugly, and dying because of the passage of time.
But as time passed, he watched all his good friends die one by one, while he continued to live alone in this world.
He wouldn't continue to make friends, and he wasn't willing to continue making friends.
Because the last person to leave.
It was really too painful.
After experiencing that kind of pain once, he didn't want to experience it again.
To others, immortality was something they yearned for, but to him, it was undoubtedly a form of torture.
He prayed to the heavens day after day, hoping that the time that had been fixed on him would continue to flow forward.
But he didn't know if it was because he had revealed too many heavenly secrets in the past, or if it was just like what his master said, he had an obsession in his heart. Time couldn't flow. No matter how he prayed, time was fixed on the year when he was twenty years old.
Time couldn't flow forward, so he followed his master's instructions and quietly waited for the arrival of the person he was waiting for.
But because he wouldn't die.
He didn't dare to get close to anyone, and didn't want anyone to get close to him. Day after day, he lived alone like this, as if he was the only one left in the world.
It wasn't until fifty years ago that he suddenly divined Jiujiu's whereabouts, that he came out of seclusion again to help the emperor unify the Central Plains.
Then, he stayed in the State Preceptor's residence, quietly waiting for Jiujiu's arrival.
In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed, and he finally waited for Jiujiu. He looked at the girl in front of him, who was even more lively than in his dreams.
Since his master passed away, he felt that he was still alive for the first time.
Jiujiu didn't feel anything about Chu Hai's other words, but Jiujiu felt deeply about this sentence.
Chu Hai would be alone for at most a few decades or a few hundred years, but she had been alone for many years.
If it wasn't for the obsession in his heart.
Thinking that Chu Hai also had an obsession in his heart, Jiujiu suddenly smiled.
She and Chu Hai were both pitiful people.
Jiujiu looked at Chu Hai. "You married me just to fulfill your wish?"
Chu Hai nodded.
Only when he fulfilled his wish, the time that had been fixed on him would flow again, and he would be able to experience life and death like a normal person.
"What good will it do me to fulfill your wish? Are you sure that I will be willing to marry you?"
Although Chu Hai was very pitiful, Jiujiu wasn't someone who would marry someone just because he was pitiful. Moreover, Chu Hai had too many motives, and Jiujiu didn't like it very much.
Chu Hai only smiled at Jiujiu's question. "I'm not sure if you will be willing to marry me, but I hope that you will marry me."
Jiujiu asked, "Then do you like me?"
Chu Hai shook his head and said very sincerely, "I don't like you."
Liking someone wasn't like the snacks sold on the street, which could be bought as long as you had the money.
Liking someone was the most difficult and mysterious thing to obtain. No matter how outstanding you were, there would always be people who didn't care about you.
