The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

The little porcelain cat was broken, and all the divine power stored in it returned to Lu Shi.

When the divine power returned, a faint golden light emanated from Lu Shi's body.

After a few breaths, the golden light disappeared and Lu Shi slowly opened his eyes.

Jiang Xingmu was still in a daze, staring blankly at the small cloth bag on the ground.

He knew that Lu Shi not only recovered his memory, but also knew about his plan to steal her divine power.

as a result of……

Very serious.

"Jiang Xingmu."

Lu Shi's voice brought him back to his senses. He raised his head mechanically and met Lu Shi's extremely cold eyes. His long eyelashes like crow feathers trembled uncontrollably, revealing his panicked heart.

Lu Shi opened the small square gift box in his hand and saw an antique wooden plaque lying quietly inside. The wooden plaque exuded a faint woody fragrance and was polished to a very rounded shape.

It can be seen that the person who made it put a lot of effort into it.

"I spent a full ten days carving this wooden plaque. It's a birthday gift for you after we confirmed our relationship, and it also serves as a token of our love."

When he said the last four words, Lu Shi deliberately emphasized his tone. Each word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Jiang Xingmu's heart hard.

"I'm sorry, please listen to my explanation."

Jiang Xingmu looked flustered, as if he was about to lose something.

"I did have a bad idea at the time. I wanted to use your divine power to eliminate my bad luck, but I gave up later. I didn't intend to do that."

However, after hearing what he said, Lu Shi's expression did not change at all, and he remained firm in his inner thoughts.

With a look of sarcasm on her face, she responded coldly, "Really? You were so obsessed with getting the little porcelain cat back because you wanted its divine power, right?"

"As for what you call giving up..."

"Do you think I don't understand you after we've been fighting for so long? How could you possibly give up?"

"……Do not."

Jiang Xingmu hurriedly stepped forward and held Lu Shi's hand tightly. His face was full of earnestness, and his words were sincere: "That was my past self. You can't deny the facts I said just because of a momentary impression."

After a pause, he continued to explain eagerly: "I really didn't lie to you, nor did I mean to ask for your divine power."

Lu Shi frowned, as if she was fed up with his words, and she waved his hand away vigorously.

"enough!"

She raised her voice slightly, "Jiang Xingmu, I told you before, I hate it most when people lie to me."

"I've asked you many times before if you were hiding anything from me, and you always said no."

"You had so many opportunities to confess to me, but you didn't."

"You're telling me now that you gave up a long time ago. You didn't mean to lie to me. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and there was a hint of sharpness in her words, like a sharp blade, piercing Jiang Xingmu's heart fiercely, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Do you think I was the same fool I was before I even had my memories? The fool you played with in your hands!"

"No, I didn't. I was sincere." Jiang Xingmu was like a caged beast, trapped in this misunderstanding, not knowing how to save himself.

He could only bang his head against the cage desperately, trying to find a chance of survival.

"I do not have……"

Lu Shi gritted her teeth in hatred, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, but a closer look revealed the deep hurt in her heart.

Jiang Xingmu felt a pain in his heart as well.

He carefully took Lu Shi's hand.

Her hands were very cold. Jiang Xingmu placed the box on the railing, then wrapped her hands in his hands with heartache, slowly lifted them up and brought them close to his mouth, gently exhaling a breath of warm air.

The hands that were originally cold and numb were wrapped in a warm big palm. The comfortable temperature made people greedy, and Lu Shi forgot about acting for a moment.

"I really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, I'll give you my divine power, okay?"

Jiang Xingmu's deep eyes were like the twinkling stars in the night sky. At this moment, he was gazing at Lu Shi with anticipation, like a devout believer quietly waiting for the judgment of God.

Lu Shi pulled his hand away and watched the light in Jiang Xingmu's eyes dim little by little with his actions until it was completely extinguished.

She turned around expressionlessly, took out the wooden sign from the box, and her words were filled with infinite coldness.

"Your luck is really bad. If you only wanted to deceive my feelings, you would have achieved your goal after tonight, and you wouldn't have needed to set up that formation at all."

"Do you know what this wooden plaque does? It can be used to offset your bad luck for a year."

Having said that, Lu Shi paused slightly, and when he spoke again, his throat was as if stuck with sand, and was extremely hoarse.

"I plan to celebrate your birthday every year."

"But now... I need to rethink our relationship."

She raised her head, her eyes deep, and gave him one last look. "Here's the wooden sign for you. Consider it your rent for the next few months."

Jiang Xingmu's heart trembled violently and his pupils constricted.

"do not want!"

He avoided the wooden sign and hugged Lu Shi in his arms.

"Don't leave me. I was wrong. You can punish me however you want."

If Lu Shi left him, he would go crazy.

He could lose anything, but besieging her was an exception.

and so……

"Don't go, okay..."

Jiang Xingmu has already lowered his posture into the dust, just asking Lu Shi to stay.

Even if I feel sorry for him, that's fine...

However, Lu Shi did not do as he wished. He broke free from his arms and turned away.

He stood on the balcony and saw her get into a car.

The vehicle was driving at high speed, and the wind blew down a few leaves from the trees, which slowly fell to the ground.

Things were scattered all over the balcony.

The broken little porcelain cat in the bag, the dropped small square box, the jade pendant, and the coat that Lu Shi had casually thrown on the ground...

Jiang Xingmu bent down and picked up the items on the ground one by one.

At the same time, crystal tears rolled down from her eyes, splashing teardrops on the floor.

He squatted down, slowly hugged himself, buried his face in his knees, and his body trembled violently.

He hadn't cried like this in a long time.

Only when he was born and knew that no one would like him did he shed a few tears.

Now, too.

Lu Shi won't like him anymore.

From now on, I will be alone again.

The grand banquet ended abruptly due to the absence of the protagonist Jiang Xingmu.

After the guests left, Jiang Xingmu was the only one left in the entire manor.

He slowly raised his head from between his knees, revealing his eyes that were red and swollen like walnuts.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Lu Shi.

Unsurprisingly, no one answered.

He called Sui Wen and the call went through.

"Hey?"

"Is Xiao at your place?"

"..."

The person on the other end of the phone guessed the owner of the number and hesitated without answering.

"I'll go find you."

“…Don’t come.”

Sui Wen sighed deeply and kindly reminded, "She won't see you."

"It will happen sooner or later..."

Jiang Xingmu hung up the phone with a hoarse voice.

Sui Wen frowned as he looked at the black screen of his phone, pondering the meaning of Jiang Xingmu's last sentence.

Before she could figure it out, she already knew the answer.

She looked at Lu Shi who was lying on the bed. "Xiao Shi, why don't you come and take a look? He's kneeling outside the door."

Lu Shi was playing games and replied perfunctorily, "Let him kneel."

after awhile.

Sui Wen: "Xiao Shi, are you really not going down to take a look? It's raining."
