Chapter 604: Breaking up and leaving
In that mysterious and wondrous space, Xu Zize wouldn't just sit there in a sterile operating room. He was incredibly curious, and he wouldn't be content to be trapped in a small room. Everything in that space was new to him, full of unknowns and surprises.
Now, Thunder and Lightning had become his little followers, having already accompanied him to explore every corner of the space. They always followed behind Xu Zize, sometimes jumping, sometimes running, guiding him in the right direction.
After a few days, Xu Zize's understanding of space was even better than Jing Chunxi's.
In his spare time, he even ran to the creek to catch fish and shrimp, waiting for Jing Chunxi to come in so that he could taste the fresh food with him.
With the nourishment of the well water and air, the daily delicacies Jing Chunxi prepared in the space, and running around with thunder and lightning, Xu Zize not only felt that his body had fully recovered, but also that his strength, speed, and jumping ability had improved significantly.
He felt the changes in his body. He found he could easily perform actions he hadn't been able to do before, like reaching the highest rooftop without a running start. This increase in strength filled him with excitement and confidence.
So the moment he saw Jing Chunxi, besides being filled with complaints about Jing Chunxi not coming in to accompany him, the first thing that came out of his mouth was: "Xi'er, don't you know that sleeping two hours in the space can triple the sleep time outside? You should sleep in the space tonight! You can spend the rest of the time practicing more."
There was a hint of blame in his tone, but more of concern. He hoped that Jing Chunxi could make full use of the advantages of the space, rest well, exercise well, and make his body stronger.
With that, he tiptoed onto the rooftop, which was a good three feet high. Normally, he would have had to run for seven or eight feet to reach this height. Xu Zize's movements were light and agile, like a nimble leopard, and he leaped onto the rooftop in an instant. He stood on the rooftop, overlooking the entire space, and waved to Jing Chunxi, indicating that she should also come up.
"Wow!" Jing Chunxi was stunned. "You can do that? I want to try that too." She watched Xu Zize leap onto the rooftop with ease, her heart filled with envy. She also wanted to have such an ability. She took a few running steps, trying to imitate Xu Zize's movements, but after two tries, she found that she couldn't do it at all.
She was a little frustrated, but she quickly adjusted her mindset and changed her angle to go to the back room in the corner. She easily climbed onto the roof from a height of about 15 meters. She stood on the roof, looking at Xu Zize, with a happy smile on her face.
Seeing Xu Zize waving at her from above, she quickly tiptoed and leaped towards him. He then gently embraced her and the two of them sat on the roof.
The two of them sat together on the rooftop, enjoying this rare quiet time. On the rooftop, a breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, and everything around them seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
"There is actually a moon in the space!" Jing Chunxi exclaimed. Usually, every time he came in, he would work all the time. He only knew that there would be the sun during the day, and had never really appreciated the scenery at night, especially at this moment, with a calm mind, looking down at the land and looking up at the starry sky.
She looked up at the sky. The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft glow that illuminated the entire space. The stars twinkled, as if telling ancient stories.
Jing Chunxi was deeply attracted by the beautiful night view. She had never thought that there would be such a charming night in space.
"Is this the first time for Xier to sit on the roof like this?" Xu Zize sighed softly. He knew that the girl's nerves were too tense. All she could think about was revenge and making money. How could she have the leisure time for such a thing?
He looked at Jing Chunxi, his heart filled with heartache. She was always worried about her family and busy with life, and rarely had the opportunity to relax and enjoy such a good time.
"Hmm! If I had known it was so beautiful, I would have come up earlier." Jing Chunxi smiled slightly, her eyes gleaming with longing for a better life. She also longed to have more time to appreciate such beautiful scenery and feel the beauty of life.
But she knew that she couldn't stop, she still had too much to do and too many responsibilities to bear.
The person in front of me is the same, isn’t he?
"Let's go to Jiangnan together to pick flowers and see the blooming flowers in our hometown. Brother Xiaokang will accompany you to travel around the world." Listening to Xu Zize's monologue, Jing Chunxi laughed out loud, "It turns out that Brother Xiaokang can also write songs."
She looked at Xu Zize with a hint of teasing in her eyes, but more of a touch of emotion. She knew that Xu Zize had deep feelings for her in his heart, but he had never expressed it directly. He always used this way to silently care for her and protect her.
Gazing at the twinkling stars in the night sky, Jing Chunxi added, "Xi'er, I don't dare to hope for such things. I just hope that my family can be safe and sound, that my grandparents can return, that my younger brother can grow up safely, that my mother can stop worrying about everything, and that our family can live in harmony and happiness." This was her greatest wish since her rebirth. She had experienced so much hardship, witnessed so much joy and sorrow, and she only hoped that her family could be safe and happy, free from suffering. As for anything else, she truly didn't dare to think about it.
"Xi'er, have you ever thought about the future?" Xu Zize couldn't help but ask, seeing the light in her eyes as she looked up at the starry sky and the soft glow on her face. However, there were some things he couldn't say now, as Xi'er was too young.
"Isn't the happiness of our family our future?" As for the rest, she really didn't dare to think about it. Jing Chunxi smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes. For her, the happiness of her family was her greatest pursuit, and nothing else mattered.
It was impossible for her to fail to notice Xu Zize's feelings after two lifetimes, and she had even quietly enjoyed this kind of care. But on her last trip to Jiujiang and Jian'an prefectures, from entering Tao's mansion to learning that he was the Prince of Yan, to living in Cui's mansion, and after returning to Beijing, she entered Prince Jing's mansion and entered the Imperial Palace.
The more she came into contact with these things, people, and events, the more she felt that the thread of fate was pulling them further and further apart. She clearly realized that there was a huge gap between their identities and status, a gap that was insurmountable.
What if my grandparents and uncles regained their status in the future? What if my family was included in the Jing family tree?
No matter how much my maternal grandfather treated them as family, to outsiders, my mother was just a married woman who had divorced and lived with the general's family, raising children. Furthermore, even if my mother had established a household for her daughter, her family would still be ordinary commoners, a far cry from the noble royal family.
Even if Pu Ge'er can finish his studies in the future and even if he becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, he will only start as an official of the sixth or seventh rank. The time when he can truly support her and support her family is too far away.
Therefore, in this dynasty that values family status, there is no possibility for her and Xu Zize to be together. She knows this very well and accepts it. She doesn't want Xu Zize to fall into trouble because of her, nor does she want to be trapped in an emotional whirlpool from which she cannot extricate herself.
She knew very well that there would be no happiness in their future.
As he grows older, the romantic feelings Xu Zize had for her because of their childhood companionship will gradually fade away. At most, he will take care of her in the future because she has done him a favor, just like in the tea business in Jian'an County, he will do his best to help.
She believed that as time went by, Xu Zize would meet someone more suitable for him, and she hoped that she could also find her own happiness, otherwise, she would rather not marry.
Therefore, she felt that she should wake up. After this separation, she should let go of this budding ambiguous relationship and return to a normal brother-sister relationship.
She didn't want this relationship to become a burden between them, nor did she want it to affect their lives. She hoped that they could care for and support each other as before, but without the complicated emotional entanglement.
Re-examining the moonlight and stars in the sky, Jing Chunxi's face became paler and her eyes more calm and penetrating. Her eyes were filled with determination and composure, as if she had already made a decision.
She looked at Xu Zize and said softly, "Brother Xiaokang, you must be happy in the future." Her voice was gentle and firm, with a hint of blessing, and no reluctance at all.
