The hairdryer hummed softly. The warm wind blew on my hair. It made me feel drowsy. My mind was blank. I couldn’t think about anything. I was too tired. I just wanted to sleep after crying myself out. The hairdryer stopped. He combed my hair gently.
“Jing Tian,” I murmured softly.
“Hmm?” He answered me.
“Can we just leave this place?” I asked.
“Where does Nanxing want to go?” He used his fingers to massage my scalp.
“Anywhere but here.” Honestly, I had no destination in mind either.
“Okay, then we shall leave. How about a trip around the world?” Jing Tian shook my hair and let it down.
My tears fell. I shook my head and cried. “No.”
Jing Tian sat beside me and hugged me. He kissed me on the top of my head. “Tell me, what’s wrong? Why Are You crying?”
I reached out to hug his waist. I shook my head and didn’t say anything.
Jing Tian pulled me away so that I had to face him right on. “Nanxing, are you worried that your reputation will be ruined after being with me?”
I was stunned. I didn’t quite understand what he said. But soon, I shook my head violently. No, I was not afraid of that. I had lived two lives. Why would I care about what other people say about me?
“Then are you afraid that you’d bring me down with you? Are you afraid of causing me harm because of my association with you?” He asked.
My tears fell.
Yes, I was afraid of that! I was scared of bringing him down with me. I had caused him so much pain and injury in my previous life. I was afraid of that repeating!
Jing Tian pressed my head to his chest.
“Can you hear my heartbeat, Nanxing?”
I nodded.
“Nanxing, this heart is beating for you. Without you, it would have gone silent ten years ago. You will never bring me down. You will only raise me! You’re my lucky star.
“I will do better with you by my side. But if I turn out worse, that is my problem and not yours. Do you understand, Nanxing? I only want you by my side. Nanxing, we went through a lot when we were young. We will have to go through a lot more in the future.
“Nanxing, are you willing to stay by my side? If I am no more the Master Qi of the Jing Family, will you stay beside me? Will you take care of me, and will you let me take care of you for the rest of our lives?” Jing Tian’s words entered my ears and slowly melted my heart.
Of course, I was willing! I was willing to be with him through thick and thin and face all the challenges together!
Jing Tian’s kiss landed lightly on my lips.
“Nanxing, we don’t need anyone else’s approval. You are mine and I am yours, forever and always!” He told me the same thing in my previous life.
I lifted my chin to meet his lips, and tears rolled down from the corners of my eyes.
So what if there were hell and high seas before us? I was given a second chance, so I had to believe in myself. I had to marry Jing Tian and give him the best Nanxing!
Our kiss was deep and affectionate. Our feelings were communicated through the kiss.
There was nothing more blissful than loving the person who loved you back.
Since my relationship with Jing Tian after my rebirth was so successful, I became inadvertently worried about it. It didn’t have the desperation and carefreeness that fortified and characterized our connection in my previous life.
Since we had decided on this relationship, then we should work hard on it together!
So what if the world went against us? Everything would be fine as long as we had each other.
