Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 1684 - 1681: Reunion After a Long Separation

He heard a voice behind him, with a hint of sobbing.

Xu Wendong’s pupils contracted abruptly, followed by a violent tremor, an intense discomfort like being stabbed with thorns, an uneasy feeling spreading like a flood in his heart.

At the same time, his body seemed to be invaded by an invisible cold airflow, and a thick layer of goosebumps rapidly appeared on his skin, the chill penetrating each pore into the depths of his heart.

He knew he had been away from Earth for a full eighteen years, during which time the world had undergone massive changes, and countless events had passed.

Now, as he just returned, he thought everything from the past had quietly been buried by the flood of time.

Yet he never expected.

That someone in this vast sea of people could recognize him at a glance.

His body, as if uncontrollable, subconsciously turned slowly.

When his gaze touched the woman behind him, he felt his heart being fiercely gripped by an invisible great hand, instantly stopping its beat, and his breath seemed to stagnate.

The woman was tall and graceful, her silhouette striking. A black slit cheongsam dress perfectly outlined her exquisite curves.

Her skin was white as snow, emitting a gentle sheen like Sheep Jade under the surrounding light.

Her beautiful face was accentuated by blazing red lips, reminiscent of a delicate red plum blossoming in the cold snow, exuding a charming yet dangerous aura.

Her long wavy hair fell gracefully on her shoulders like black silk, slightly swaying with her soft sobs.

At this moment, tears glistened in her beautiful eyes, evoking the image of a pear blossom in the rain, inviting compassion.

Upon seeing her, Xu Wendong felt his long-past memories suddenly unlocked by a miraculous light, past scenes flooding his mind like a tidal wave.

His thoughts immediately returned to nineteen years ago, to that distant and unforgettable summer, when he embarked on a journey to Haicheng.

Bits and pieces of what happened on that somewhat crowded and noisy train flashed through his mind like a movie.

Even though the past had been sealed by time for many years, recalling it now produced a vivid illusion as if all had happened yesterday, so clear, so real.

Moreover, a gentle voice once spoken on the train kept echoing in his mind: "Can you help me put my suitcase on the luggage rack?"

That voice seemed to have transcended the tunnel of time, taking him back to that moment full of youthful breath and unknown adventures.

Xu Wendong’s eyes widened instantly, his face full of astonishment, feeling as if he’d seen a ghost.

It wasn’t because the other party’s appearance hadn’t aged — after all, he had given her a Youth Preserving Pill before leaving — but he hadn’t expected to see her here.

His throat involuntarily rolled downwards, swallowing his disbelief, his lips trembling slightly: "Sister Shimei? Is it really you? How... How is this possible? Why are you suddenly appearing in Qingyuan City?"

Liu Shimei seemed not to hear his inquiry at all, her gaze fixed only on this man who had captivated her soul for so many years.

The next moment, like a swift bird, she flew towards Xu Wendong, disregarding everything, as fast as a gust.

Instantly, she tightly embraced Xu Wendong, her arms like strong vines winding firmly around his waist, holding him with all her strength.

The gesture seemed to merge their bodies and souls entirely, never separating.

At this moment, her burning tears were uncontrollable, like a breached flood flowing wantonly over her beautiful face, quickly soaking Xu Wendong’s shirt.

Those tears contained years of longing, waiting, and endless love.

All were released without reservation along with these uncontrollable tears.

Xu Wendong also extended his arms, holding the woman tightly, with a force as if to integrate her into his body.

He lowered his head, burying his face in her cascading hair, gently touching her delicate neck, greedily inhaling her unique scent that entranced him.

That familiar and enchanting fragrance seeped with his breath into his heart, like a spring breeze caressing the barren fields of his heart, instantly stirring his deepest, most fervent emotions and memories.

Recalling the past, his last separation from her was already an eighteen-year-old memory.

Before entering the Cultivation World, he visited all his loves.

Out of concern and attachment, he even brought many of them, along with their relatives, to the Kunlun Mountains Minor World.

However, Liu Shimei became the special exception.

Despite their profound feelings and many shared beautiful nights, she was ultimately a married woman.

This unique identity acted like an invisible but firm barrier between them, inevitably causing Xu Wendong complex emotions and conflicts when facing her.

More crucially, when Xu Wendong went to meet her, she was already pregnant.

For various reasons, Liu Shimei ultimately did not choose to live in the Kunlun Mountains Minor World but stayed in the mundane world.

What Xu Wendong had never expected, by any means.

Was that after their separation in Haicheng, the wheels of fate would turn in this faraway Qingyuan City, allowing them to reunite.

This sudden encounter, akin to a fantastic yet unbelievable dream, left him somewhat dazed, even wondering if he was in a fantasy.

"I thought I’d never see you again in this lifetime!" Liu Shimei tightly leaned into Xu Wendong’s embrace, sobbing uncontrollably.

The unstoppable tears seemed to vent all the years of longing, suffering, and torment along with her crying.

Her body quivered slightly, hands gripping Xu Wendong’s clothes tightly, as if fearing that loosening them would make the man of her deepest desires disappear again.

Xu Wendong tenderly stroked her head, gently saying, "Didn’t I just come back?" As he said, he wiped the tears from her face with a heart full of concern: "Why are you in Qingyuan City?"

Liu Shimei forced a smile, saying, "After you left, my husband got in a car accident and passed away. Then, heartbroken, I came to Qingyuan City with my big belly to live alone."

"Because I knew this was your hometown and that someday you would return!" Her gaze held firm, revealing intense love.
