Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Yun Jixing carried Yu Ru back to the room and let her half-lying on the beauty couch to rest. He had work to do today and couldn't stay at home for long, so after taking Yu Ru back to the room, he had to say goodbye to her temporarily.

"Aru, I'm leaving. I'll be back in the evening. Be well at home. If there's anything you want to do, just tell Chen Guangbai to do it."

Yu Ru nodded and waved at him.

Yun Jixing leaned over and kissed Yu Ru on each cheek, then stood up and left.

He had been busy recently and had not driven himself. He always let the driver drive, and today was no exception. After sitting in the back seat of the car, he took out his phone from his pocket to check the messages.

There is a pinned message from Yu Ru, she wrote: There are many things in this world that are difficult to explain with science. You said you have memories of your past life. I am not sure if that really exists, but I believe you. I think a person cannot be the same after reincarnation. The personality and appearance should be different. So are you loving me in the past life or me in this life? Do you love me because of me in the past life? You said before that maybe we were not destined to be together in the past life, and there is a kind of arrangement in this life telling you to renew your relationship with me. Are you approaching me just because you want to renew your relationship with me? Even if I am me in the past life and this life, I don’t want you to come to me because of me in the past life.

Looking at this message, Yun Jixing smiled silently, and as he smiled he felt very sad. He stared at the screen and seriously thought about the question that Yu Ruwen asked.

After a long while, he replied: I have thought about the question you asked before. Am I in love with two people? Am I a heartless person? But, Aru, you are you, always you, and you have never changed. I love you, the soul under your skin. Before we were not together, someone asked me why I fell in love with you. Now I want to tell you the answer again.

I can see that you have had many times of being fragile and inferior, but you will not rely on others for your chance to become better, but work hard to improve your personal value. You have achieved a lot, but you never boast about it. You are always mentally exhausted, but you will not lose your temper and respect the people around you. Your original family is not good enough, but you can see that your parents are struggling to make a living, and you give them a decent life. You have a bad life, but you can still remain kind and sympathize with the weak.

You are fragile, but your life is as resilient as weeds, and you survive tenaciously in desperate situations. You are irritable and like to throw things, but you are also delicate and gentle, and you are so careful that you can count the number of gray hairs on my head. You like to get stuck in a rut, and your mind sometimes appears narrow-minded, but your heart is as broad as the sky. You have the perseverance to tolerate suffering, and the courage to go higher. I admire you very much. No matter who or what you encounter, you can empathize with them and feel the same way.

This is how I see you in this life, and this is how you looked in your previous life. It is easy for two people to have similarities, but it is impossible for all details and even ways of thinking to overlap. All these things make me sure that you are you, never changing, never leaving. I love you, the you in my previous life, the you in this life, you are still you.

To be more precise, it can't be said that renewing the past relationship is renewing the past relationship. In this life, I still meet the same you as before, because this is not reincarnation, but my life has started over again. Do you believe in rebirth in the world? This is probably what it means. However, things have already happened, so I don't think I need to care too much. Living in the present is the most important thing.

Ah Ru, I did approach you because of my past life. I am sorry for causing you trouble. However, after approaching you, I couldn't help falling in love with you again. I want to tell you that no matter how many times I come back, no matter what you become, I will always fall in love with you, love you as I see you, love you at this moment, and not be disturbed by external factors.

On the other side, Yu Ru, lying on the beauty couch, looked at the text displayed on the phone screen, revealing a long-lost, sincere smile. She did not reply to the short essay sent by Yun Jixing, but just read it carefully.

She looked for a long time until her eyes became dizzy.

……

at night,

Yu Ru and Yun Jixing were having dinner together in the restaurant at home. There was a projector beside them playing a video. It was the surveillance footage from the hotel where they stayed on the day of the Urban Design Competition Awards Ceremony. When they left that day, they deliberately did not check out, leaving behind the micro camera, and left directly after packing their luggage.

Before leaving, they turned on all the lights in the room. Therefore, the images captured by the surveillance camera are very clear and bright. Currently, the video is quiet and there is nothing.

Yun Jixing had already watched the video recorded by the camera, and had also asked the bodyguard at home to watch it together. It did record something. Around midnight, two men in black sneaked into the room, rummaged through the cabinets, and did some things similar to rituals. Apart from that, there was nothing else, but Yu Ru still wanted to see it for herself.

"Aru, why don't I describe the scene to you? I've also watched the surveillance video, and it didn't skip a single second. It's too tiring for you to watch it slowly like this."

The scene was a bit boring at this time, but Yu Ru was still watching it seriously, her attention was completely focused on the scene, and she didn't hear Yun Jixing's words. It was not until Yun Jixing called her the second time that she reacted.

Yun Jixing used his chopsticks to pick up a large piece of braised pork and put it in Yu Ru's bowl, saying, "Aru, why don't I tell you what's in the picture? I can tell you anything you want to know. I can count the moles on those people's faces and tell you in detail. It's too tiring for you to watch like this, so you should take a good rest during this period."

Yu Ru shook her head, put down her chopsticks and gestured, "I think some things cannot be described by others orally, it is more reliable to see it yourself."

"Okay then." Yun Jixing used his chopsticks to pick up some food for Yu Ru.

"Aru, then why don't you skip some scenes and jump to the part where people appear. I can tell you with certainty that there is nothing unusual in this scene. There is no figure floating outside the window, and there is not even any wind."

Yu Ru turned her head to look at him, thought about it, and nodded when she felt it made sense. She picked up the remote control and handed it to Yun Jixing, signaling him to skip the useless part of the film.

Yun Jixing took the remote control and directly turned the screen to the scene where two men in black appeared.

Suddenly, two men in black appeared in the empty scene. They were dressed normally, but they had a colorful scarf on their faces and wore sunglasses. One of them had a headscarf on his head, and the other wore a cap. Both of them wrapped themselves tightly and looked a little weird.

At this point, Yu Ru paused the video and zoomed in to look at the hands of the two people. Both of them had a small tattoo on their wrists, black with purple, shaped like a spider, but the body of the spider looked like an eye.

Yu Ru stared at the spider for a long time, then stood up and wanted to get closer to the projection to take another look. At this moment, Gu Xian'an, who was eating nearby, suddenly shouted.

"Woof woof!" It circled in front of Yu Ru and prevented her from getting close to the projection.

Yu Ru turned her head to take a look at the spider tattoo, then squatted down and touched Gu Xian'an's head.

“Um…Awooo…” Gu Xian’an wagged his tail, resting his head in her arms and whimpering softly.

"What's going on?" Yun Jixing also stood up and walked over to Gu Xian'an and squatted down. "Gu Xian'an, what did you see?"

"Woof!" Gu Xian'an looked at the spider on the projection with a little fear.

Yu Ru and Yun Jixing turned their heads at the same time and saw nothing unusual.

Yu Ru let go of Gu Xian'an's hand, looked at Yun Jixing and gestured, "Did you see anything strange?"

Yunjixing shook his head, "No, maybe you fainted a few days ago, and it was stimulated and afraid of you getting close to something that looks bad."

Yu Ru lowered her head, looked at Gu Xian'an again, and hugged it tightly.

Yunjixing squatted beside it and stroked its body. "Gu Xian'an, don't be afraid. Aru is fine now. That bad kid has been caught and sealed away. What we see now is just a projection, not the real thing."

"Woof woof..." Gu Xian'an called out weakly a few times, as if in response.
