Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Yu Ru couldn't believe the woman Yun Jixing was talking about was her. Was she so indulgent? And she stayed up all night. Were they on drugs? So crazy.

Yu Ru poked Yun Jixing's chest with a finger and gestured, "Did we eat something we shouldn't have? Why are we so crazy? Lasting until dawn? Is this something a human can do? I heard fifteen minutes is a long time."

Yun Jixing, who was immersed in sadness, was amused by her words again, "Aru, what are you thinking about? We...we are always like that. Sometimes when we are tired, we lie down and look at each other for half an hour or an hour, or kiss for half an hour or an hour. Time flies by unknowingly."

Yu Ru nodded, her face turning even redder. Not daring to look at him, she gestured with her eyes downcast, "Even if that's the case, the child should have been saved. How could it have died so naturally? We should have been in good physical condition back then, right? The child we conceived would have been very strong."

"Yes, our child is indeed very healthy and strong. He rode horses, climbed mountains, had frequent intercourse, skydived, and raced cars. I don't know if you did all kinds of strenuous exercise during your pregnancy. You also fell a few times during that time, but the child is fine. He was just a little unstable. But strenuous exercise is only one of the reasons. Another more serious problem was that when you were more than a month pregnant, you suddenly felt dizzy while going down the stairs and fell down. You bled profusely and the child was lost. I was terrified at the time. Fortunately, the steps you fell were only four or five high. You are fine, but the child is gone."

After hearing his explanation, Yu Ru's mood suddenly became a little depressed, and the two hands that were holding Yun Jixing retracted and put them in front of her body.

"Aru..."

Yunjixing pulled her hand back and held it tightly. "The baby might not be ready to be our baby yet. I'm leaving now. He'll come back when he's ready. But..."

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "Your health is not good now, so let's not have children in this life, right? We got through without children in our last life, so we can do the same in this one. When the time comes, I'll tell everyone that I can't have children, and no one will dare to say anything."

Yu Ru was silent.

After a long moment, she looked up at Yunjixing and gestured, "I want a child."

"No, you can't give birth. It will kill you if you do." Yun Jixing immediately refused.

Yu Ru sat up and said, "I want a child. I can have one once I'm well."

Yun Jixing also sat up. "It will take at least two or three years for your body to return to normal. By then, you and I will be almost thirty years old. Thirty is too old to have a child. It's risky."

"I want a child. In five years, I'll still be young, not even thirty." Yu Ru said with a determined look.

"Don't have kids, just the two of us can live together. I'll get a sterilization when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ru reached out and pushed Yun Jixing with a slight anger. She was so strong that she pushed him onto the bed. However, seeing him fall on the bed, she felt a little regretful and thought that it was wrong to do so. She immediately helped him up again.

“I’m sorry,” she gestured, lowering her head.

"It's okay, I understand you. You want to have more relatives. You feel that the baby is yours and can be close to you. You love him and he loves you too, right?" Yun Jixing said while hugging Yu Ru.

Yu Ru nodded.

"But Aru, your health doesn't allow it. You shouldn't do something so risky. You've suffered so much before, and now that you're finally getting better, you should enjoy your life and stop suffering. Having a child isn't absolutely necessary."

Yu Ru pulled away from his embrace and gestured, "A child is absolutely necessary. First, a child will keep me company, and I'll have another family member, making our home more lively. My family didn't pay much attention to me when I was little, and I felt lonely. I want a child now to make up for the emotional loss I experienced as a child. Second, I have many confidential technologies waiting for my child to inherit, and I wouldn't feel comfortable handing them over to anyone else. I want to give them to my child. If my child has his own ideas and doesn't want to inherit my technology, that's another matter. Third, in such a large family, everyone has children running around, except you and me. Over time, how can I guarantee that you or I won't feel a sense of loss? Or develop other negative emotions? Fourth, whether you can't or I can't have children, whether we're truly unable to have children or just pretending to be unable to, if we don't have children, the social pressure we face will be enormous, unless we withdraw from society."

Yun Jixing was speechless. This time, it was his turn to remain silent. He looked at Yu Ru for a long time, then said, "Aru, I don't care what others say. I've died once, so a few fabricated words mean nothing to me. As for the rest... you're right, but I hope you'll reconsider. Giving birth is very painful."

Yu Ru nodded and leaned back into his arms.

Yun Jixing hugged her and whispered, "Aru, I just want you to be alive. I don't want anything else."

Yu Ru just nodded without making any other response.

After a while, Yu Ru slowly closed her eyes. Seeing this, Yun Jixing carefully put her down and let her lie on the bed, "Aru, go to sleep first."

When they were almost on the bed, Yu Ru grabbed his clothes and got up again, "I want to know one last thing."

"what is it then?"

[What kind of person was I in my previous life?]

"It's the same as now, the only difference is that you loved to laugh and were a cheerful person in your previous life." Yun Jixing said with a smile.

A cheerful person?

Yu Ru imagined herself laughing, but it felt strange. Was that really her?

[What is my job? How much do I earn per month?]

"You're a business owner. You love food, so you've opened several dessert shops and carved out a niche, making high-end custom desserts for wealthy individuals. You also enjoy painting, like you do now. You charge around 5000 yuan per piece, and you also have a media account. Your normal income is 300,000 yuan a month."

[What about income from abnormal channels?]

"Three million, thirty million is possible. You often used other people's money in your previous life."

Hearing this, Yu Ru turned away a little embarrassedly.

[Did I invent the word "Shanyu"?]

"No, you weren't into mechanical inventions back then. You were only focused on how to steal money from people's accounts without leaving a trace."

[Was I ever trafficked? Was I ever bullied?]

"None of that. Your life as a child was very ordinary."

[Is the disease I had at that time incurable?]

"Those who were willing to help us have passed away, and the others who are still alive and able to help have been threatened. No one dares to intervene."

……

Yu Ru asked a lot of questions about her past life. Finally, she concluded, "I think there was another reason why I died in my past life, and it wasn't because of you."

"Aru..." Yun Jixing held her hand guiltily, "But my situation has put a real psychological burden on you."

Yu Ru nodded, pulled her hand back, and gestured again, "Don't underestimate the perseverance of a poor person growing up. Your situation is complicated, and I may be very worried about it, but I won't give up my life for it. I lived a comfortable life back then, and even left you over a billion before I died. And back then, I also had the skills to make money like this, which proves that I didn't suffer any injustice."

After thinking for a moment, she gestured, "I think I was probably driven to death by some powerful figure. The real source of pressure wasn't you. Even if you were there, it only accounted for a small part."
