Happy Spring Every Year

"Of course I'm coming, and I can't wait to come."

Jiang Xun smiled, a warm light dancing between his brows and reflected in Shen Jiasui's eyes.

She couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Master Jiang, has anyone ever told you that you speak very bluntly?"

Whether it was in the Wenhua Pavilion in the Imperial Garden that day, or in the General's Mansion today, it seemed that as long as he was determined to do something, he would do it boldly and never beat around the bush.

Jiang Xun saw Shen Jiasui finally smile, his eyes filled with tenderness, and he said softly:

"I just spoke my mind."

He remained in a half-kneeling position, and Shen Jiasui, who was sitting on the stool, could only lower his eyes to look at him.

In the warm light, she looked at Lord Jiang's face so seriously for the first time.

He is indeed an extremely handsome man...

Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui mustered up the courage to raise his hand, imitating the way he treated him that day in Wenhua Pavilion, and gently rubbed his cheek with his fingertips.

Jiang Xun was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up and his face turned hot.

When Shen Jiasui saw this, he realized that he was too abrupt and quickly took his hand back.

But the next moment, Jiang Xun raised his hand in time, covered the back of Shen Jiasui's hand, and stopped her from retreating.

He raised his eyes and stared at Shen Jiasui steadily. Then, under her gaze, he rubbed his cheek against her palm gently, just as she had done that day.

There are calluses on the joints of my fingers and metacarpophalanges, which feel numb and itchy when rubbed against my cheeks. They are medals left by years of holding guns and swords.

Jiang Xun was thinking this when Shen Jiasui became so shy that she looked away as if to avoid him.

When you are with the person you love, just looking at each other is often enough to arouse your emotions.

Jiang Xun didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. He chuckled and gently let go of Shen Jiasui's hand.

Shen Jiasui quickly put his hands back under his sleeves and shouted, "Master Jiang, I——"

"Are you still going to call me Lord Jiang every year?" Jiang Xun asked with a smile, tilting his head.

Shen Jiasui was stunned when she heard this. She was used to calling him "Lord Jiang".

Although Daddy has agreed to their marriage, but...

"But isn't it too early to call me husband now?"

Shen Jiasui thought about it and asked sincerely.

When Jiang Xun heard this, he couldn't kneel steadily for a moment, his whole body swayed, and he hurriedly supported himself on the ground with his hands.

This time it was his turn to blush, and he was too embarrassed to raise his head for a long time, so he naturally missed the cunning look that flashed across Shen Jiasui's face.

"Sui Sui...you can call me by my name or my courtesy name." Jiang Xun suggested in a low voice.

Shen Jiasui couldn't hold it in any longer and chuckled, "Then how about I call Master Jiang Axun? It sounds so familiar."

Jiang Xun looked up when he heard that, and met Shen Jiasui's smiling eyes, then he realized that he was being teased.

He knew in his heart that Shen Jiasui was hitting back at him for laughing at her just now. He could not help but touch his nose awkwardly, then nodded lovingly.

"it is good."

After the words fell, the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other with red faces.

The side room fell silent for a moment.

Shen Jiasui tried hard to calm his agitated emotions, and when he raised his eyes again, his expression slowly straightened.

"Axun?"

She tried to call out, it was a little awkward, but surprisingly smooth.

Compared to "Lord Jiang" whom she always looked up to, "Axun" seemed more like a peer.

Jiang Xun also became serious and responded softly.

Shen Jiasui finally let out a breath and said frankly, "That day in the Imperial Garden, there were some things I didn't have time to tell you, but I think you, Axun, have already guessed a little bit."

"You said you'd live with me in the future. Nothing can help us understand each other better than being honest."

Shen Jiasui was not a shy person, especially since the two of them had a mutual understanding and their parents had given their permission.

"Ah Xun, I have indeed lived a new life."

Jiang Xun's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded at Shen Jiasui, indicating that she should continue.

Shen Jiasui was encouraged by Jiang Xun's calm and firm gaze, and finally mustered up the courage to tell him everything about his past life.

......

Her voice was sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes with a smile, sometimes with a teasing tone, but as time went on, her tone became more and more depressed, and she would pause from time to time, unable to hold back her tears.

Jiang Xun listened attentively. As Shen Jiasui's past life experiences unfolded before him, several fragments in his dream also found their corresponding places.

Her fear and helplessness, grief and despair had happened so realistically in the past. This thought made Jiang Xun frown, unable to bear the pain in his heart.

Shen Jiasui choked up several times and almost finished speaking in tears.

She found herself particularly weak in front of Jiang Xun, perhaps because he had seen her at her most miserable state several times, and also because he had been her only support in her previous life.

Tears welled up in Jiang Xun's eyes.

When he heard that Shen Jiasui and Lu Yunzheng died together, he could no longer hide the pain in his heart, and stretched out his arms to embrace Shen Jiasui.

"Year after year..."

Shen Jiasui felt the heat coming and holding her tightly. The pain in her chest paused slightly. She raised her hands without hesitation and hugged Jiang Xun's waist tightly.

She needed and longed for this warmth so much, as if it was rescuing her bit by bit from the quagmire of her previous life.

"Axun, everything will be different this time, right?"

Shen Jiasui buried his head in Jiang Xun's shoulder and asked in a trembling voice.

"It will be different."

Jiang Xun deserved it so lightly, yet so firmly.

They have changed a lot, and they are going to change more.

This time, they met not in suffering, but in hope.

"We agreed to be together through thick and thin, and to go through thick and thin together."

"Sui Sui, let's go together."

Jiang Xun spoke softly, tilted his head slightly, and gently rubbed Shen Jiansui's hair.

Shen Jiasui seemed to have found an indestructible support amidst the gentle voices. Heat surged in her chest, and she responded firmly and gently:

"Yeah, let's go together."

The warm light was like a light veil, covering the two people who were hugging each other tightly, with their black hair tangled, their clothes layered, and their ears touching.

The tenderness and warmth flowing between them.

It's called redemption.

.......

"Sui Sui."

"Ok?"

"I also want to tell you a secret."

When Shen Jiasui heard this, he suddenly raised his head from Jiang Xun's shoulder.

She had a premonition that the secret Jiang Xun was about to reveal was related to the drastic change in his personality when he was ten years old.

"You said."

After the worries and uneasiness just now subsided, Shen Jiasui finally returned to his usual self, his eyes now bright and full of curiosity.

Jiang Xun seemed to have been prepared to speak frankly with Shen Jiasui. He took a deep breath and said seriously:

"Just like your rebirth, it's as mysterious as that. I am not the original Jiang Xun."

Although he had already guessed it in his mind, when Jiang Xun said this, Shen Jiasui still found it unbelievable.

"Then Ah Xun, you..."

Jiang Xun saw that there was no fear on Shen Jiasui's face, and his heart, which had been in the air, suddenly fell to the ground.

From the moment he made up his mind to be with Sui Sui, he never thought of hiding it. He was just worried that Sui Sui would be afraid of him.

Afraid of him, a person of "unknown origin".

Shen Jiasui seemed to see Jiang Xun's worry. She relaxed her brows and said with a smile, "Let me hear it. Is it more bizarre than a person's life being reborn?"

Jiang Xun heard the encouragement in Shen Jiasui's words and no longer had any concerns.

Long-lost memories suddenly came flooding back, yet they were still vivid in my mind as if it were yesterday.

Jiang Xun's eyes flashed with a deep sense of reminiscence. He looked up at the window frame that was shimmering with warm light, and said with such emotion and regret:

"Sui Sui, I come from a different world a thousand years from now, from an era of war and shattered mountains and rivers."

"It comes from an era when a great and brilliant nation was going through difficult trials and countless passionate patriots sacrificed their lives."

"I will always be proud to be born into this nation. I have met a group of like-minded friends, and together we fight for our faith and our country."

"It was my honor, my pride, something I will never regret, and my short but meaningful life."

"I only regret that I never got to see the restoration of the country and the unification of the empire, that I never got to see the peace and prosperity of the country."

At this point, Jiang Xun's eyes were already red.

He prayed day and night, hoping that somewhere he couldn't see -

"Will do."

Shen Jiasui suddenly spoke.

Jiang Xun turned around and looked at her, his voice trembling, "Sui Sui, do you believe me?"

This matter is too bizarre, so it is normal for Sui Sui to question it.

But Shen Jiasui nodded firmly and said seriously:

"Axun, I believe you. Not only do I believe what you say, but I also believe that the nation you speak of will surely stand firm and prosper."

"Although I don't know what the world will be like a thousand years from now, I do know that loyal souls and passionate blood have been common since ancient times."

"The patriots you speak of are just like my father and countless other soldiers of the Sheng Dynasty. They fought bravely and bravely amidst the flames of war, united as one, and fought bravely to keep the Sheng Dynasty peaceful for us."

"So, Axun, you see, your country and your people can do it too. They must be enjoying a peaceful and prosperous era right now, with abundant crops and abundant harvests!"

Following Shen Jiasui's firm voice, Jiang Xun's thoughts drifted away.

At this moment, it seemed as if he had crossed the endless mountains and rivers and traversed the long time and space, and he really saw a scene of clear rivers and peaceful seas, and a prosperous harvest.

He covered his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised with relief, but his eyes were suddenly filled with heat.

Will do.

The great China will surely stand firm, prosper and thrive forever.
