Chapter 423 175: Using the Sky as a Blanket, the Earth as a Bed
Bai Weixi wept as she stared at Li Yuan. She had a faint feeling that she and the other two women were the ones from his past-life story, the ones who had a relationship with him. But she no longer wanted to listen. Even if Li Yuan didn't say it, she could already guess the gist of it. What she truly cared about was his current attitude toward her. Whether he was telling the truth or not, one thing had to be confirmed.
"Brother, I just want to ask you one thing: will you still want me?" Bai Weixi asked, staring at Li Yuan anxiously as she awaited his response. At that moment, she was terrified. What if he says, 'I don't love you anymore. Let's break up'?
Li Yuan reached out and stroked Bai Weixi's head, a sudden smile spreading across his face. "Bai, what about you? Would you leave me?"
Without a hint of hesitation, Bai Weixi replied, "No, Brother. I will never leave you.
"I don't care what I did to you in that story or why I hurt you so deeply. In this life, I will never leave you. I only want to be with you."
A bitter smile touched Li Yuan's lips. "But I can't give all of my love to you.
"This is also my debt to them from my past life, one I must repay in this one."
Bai Weixi hesitated for a moment at his words, but then she nodded firmly. "I don't care, Brother. As long as there's a place for me in your heart, I only love you. Nothing else matters to me."
Li Yuan was somewhat surprised. Could these words really be coming from Bai Weixi? Can someone's environment truly change their personality? Or do girls become completely love-struck after giving away their first time in their first love? He really didn't know much about that.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Bai Weixi staring at him with teary eyes as she spoke with deep affection. "Brother, please don't leave me. I promise I won't treat you like I did in the past life. I'll be good and listen to everything you say. I just want to be by your side..."
Li Yuan rubbed her head again and pulled her into his arms. Bai Weixi obediently nestled against his chest, her body trembling uncontrollably. She felt as if this strong, solid shoulder had nearly slipped away from her forever, and she couldn't bear the thought of that happening. Before she came to see Li Yuan, she had been prepared to throw a crying fit, but after hearing his story, her heart held only one hope: that he wouldn't leave her.
"Come on, let's take a walk and chat."
"Okay!"
"Sometimes, I can't tell if it was a dream or if I've really lived a second life. Just treat it as a very real dream. In that dream, everything related to my personal experiences was exceptionally clear..."
Li Yuan took Bai Weixi's hand, and they chatted as they walked along the dimly lit path, soon arriving at Mandarin Duck Slope next to the school's athletic field. Earlier that evening, he had spent a sweet time here with Xia Zhijin, watching the sunset and basking in the afterglow of twilight. Of course, their hands and mouths hadn't been idle, but with so many people around and out of respect for Xia Zhijin's pride, they hadn't taken things any further. The timing now, however, was perfect. A crescent moon dotted the starry sky, and a gentle breeze dispersed the summer heat, carrying the first hint of autumn.
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Bai Weixi. Her long dress, graceful figure, and enchanting curves were captivating. The beauty before him was the one who had haunted his dreams for over a decade, spanning two lifetimes. She was like the lingering obsessions or inner demons he'd read about in many fantasy cultivation novels. Or perhaps, she was a "coordinate" of sorts—proof that he was truly still alive.
Bai Weixi had a fantastic figure. Her skin, especially, was true to her surname, Bai, which means "white"—it was flawless and pure, as white as fresh snow.
Under the dim light of the crescent moon, her long dress fluttered. The first breeze of autumn lifted strands of her hair, which occasionally brushed against his face, stirring his heart.
The game he hadn't finished with Xia Zhijin tonight at Mandarin Duck Slope... perhaps it could be completed with Bai Weixi.
"Bai, come sit here. Let's chat for a while."
Holding Li Yuan's hand, Bai Weixi nodded obediently. She finally understood why his attitude had done a complete 180 after she confessed to him following the college entrance exams. She had never believed in things like past and present lives, but now, she was utterly confused. Besides, what did it matter if she didn't believe it? Even if it was just a vivid dream Li Yuan had, her only choice was to quietly accept it—unless she was willing to give up on their relationship. She knew in her heart that after what he'd experienced in that story, she was lucky he didn't hate her. And yet, he had still accepted her. He bought her a sports car and a Mercedes for her parents, and even got them several cases of Maotai to take home. He treated her and her family incredibly well...
As far as they could see, they were the only two people on Mandarin Duck Slope, alone together under the dim moonlight. Li Yuan lay right down on the grass, spreading his arms and legs out wide. He then took off his large sports jacket, laid it on the ground like a sheet, and gestured for the hesitant Bai Weixi to join him.
"Bai, come here. Lie down."
"Oh!" Bai Weixi's heart pounded in her chest, her cheeks flushing scarlet. She suddenly recalled some of the racy stories she had heard back in the dorms.
