My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Tears streamed from the corners of her white-clad figure's eyes, stained with floral patterns.

He gave a wry smile.

"If you can really escape divine punishment this way, then I'll do anything you ask... You'll come back... won't you?"

After speaking, Bai Yihua raised her right hand, as if she had made up her mind.

“My wife… all my joys and sorrows come from you. Without you by my side, I am like a walking corpse, devoid of those feelings, and I have no need for them!”

I am happiest when I am with my wife.

Only laughter when he is with his wife is true laughter.

It was his wife who taught him about joys and sorrows, and it was his wife who taught him what love is.

"Now that you've left me, I can't let you suffer alone... If I could buy you more time, if neither of us had a fourth life... I'm willing to close off all the beautiful memories I have of being with you..."

He murmured a sob, and light radiated from his hand, which then spread throughout his body.

When Bai Yihua lowered her hand again, her entire body suffered a backlash.

Cracks and flesh were visible on that pale body.

The surrounding buildings became loose, and small pieces of rock began to fall down.

Soon, the entire area collapsed.

The white floral dye was pressed inside.

Dust and smoke billowed up for a moment, but then calm returned.

Hua Ran rubbed her eyes, feeling not only sorrow but also confusion.

Is this him?

Is this the reason for amputating his own limb?

Hua Ran is now very confused. What fourth life? If the man in white is really him from before, then did he know his wife a long time ago and get together with her?

Are all those stabbings in the back real?

Hua Ran couldn't bear to think about it anymore!

It sounded like someone was calling his name.

"Flower dyeing, flower dyeing!"

In reality, Hua Ran leaned against the small window of the paper sedan chair, her body drenched in fragrant sweat, which smelled of lotus flowers.

He was dressed in blue, which he opened wide to check for injuries, revealing his fair chest.

"Hua Ran, how are you feeling? Hua Ran, Hua Ran! You're awake, open your eyes and look at me."

Hua Ran slightly opened her eyes and looked at Qiao Yi again. She was exactly the same as the Qiao Yi in her dream.

A wave of bitterness washed over me again.

"My wife..."

His voice was hoarse and choked with sobs when he opened his mouth.

Joey quickly comforted her.

"Don't cry. No matter what happens, whatever your illness, I can cure you!"

Hua Ran shook her head.

"I...I'm fine..."

Hana-ran only has one question right now.

If those fragments of memory are real, and neither the wife nor he had a fourth life, does that mean that in this life, after the wife died of old age... that's it?

Although the wife is only eighteen years old, one day she will leave him.

Human lifespan is but a fleeting moment!

Qiao Yi squatted down and looked at Hua Ran's face, saying, "You don't need to hide anything. We'll face everything together."

Hua Ran shook her head.

"I... just had a stomachache, but I'm fine now."

Joey frowned.

"Why would your stomach hurt for no reason? You're a spirit!"

Hua Ran pursed her lips.

Seeing his wife's anxious and worried expression, he sighed and said again.

"My lady, the pain isn't because of anything else, it's because I can feel the severed limbs in my abdomen..."

"Abdominal limbs?!"

Joey was genuinely surprised. "Didn't the white-eared fox say there were only severed limbs here? How come there are more..."

Hua Ran did indeed feel a sharp, pulling pain in her abdomen, just like when she broke her hand before.

Moreover, I could clearly sense that the area my abdomen was pointing towards was behind the barrier.

"My lady, my intuition is right."

Looking at Hua Ran's determined expression, Qiao Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then it seems I'm bound to go in."

She patted Hua Ran's hand, "You rest here. I'll go set up a barrier around the paper sedan chair to ensure you're safe before we go in."

As soon as Qiao Yi stood up, Hua Ran grabbed her hand and pulled her into her arms.

"My wife..."

Qiao Yi never expected Hua Ran to suddenly exert so much force.

His voice was choked with sobs, filled with reluctance and sorrow.

Her body trembled slightly.

But he hesitated to speak, and then couldn't say anything more.

Joey also sensed that something was wrong with Hua Ran, but she chose to remain silent.

And then he reached out and patted Hua Ran's back repeatedly.

The two huddled together in the cramped space of the paper sedan chair.

Joey's face was pressed against Hua Ran's chest, feeling his strong heartbeat.

After a long while, Hua Ran finally said, "My wife, I want to be with you forever. I know I didn't do well before. I was only jealous and angry and didn't do what a husband should do. I will change in the future."

"I will change it to... I will try my best not to be jealous, I will behave very well, and if you have any complaints, my wife, you can... you can hit me! You can bully me as you please, you don't have to be gentle with me, you can do any of the things that other wives do to their husbands, I won't be angry, I will love everything about you!"

Hua Ran said so much, but felt it wasn't enough.

I always felt I owed her something and hadn't expressed myself clearly.

He wanted to say, "My dear, I will forgive you no matter what mistakes you make. Please don't leave me!"

Hua Ran opened his mouth again, but Qiao Yi covered his mouth.

"Hua Ran, our love is mutual and equal. I won't bully you, and I love you too. Love begins in the heart, nothing else."

Qiao Yi also sensed that Hua Ran was particularly insecure when she woke up this time.

But Hua Ran just wouldn't tell the truth.

Joey didn't want to force him on this.

He simply said, "I love you even when you're jealous or act childish, because these are part of you. I must accept these things before I can love you. That's true love."

Flowers stained her eyes, and tears welled up.

My wife is so wonderful.

It is precisely because the wife is so good that Hanazon is increasingly worried that what she said in her dream is true.

No, that's not a dream!

That's my own memory!

It was only because the body was torn to pieces that it was found again.

Thinking of this, Hua Ran became even more afraid.

What did I say in my dream to buy more time?

Does regaining her body foreshadow an early end to the third life of the female protagonist, leading to her death?

Hua Ran was terrified by her own dream!

More tears welled up in his eyes.

It was at this moment that Qiao Yi kissed Hua Ran's lips.

The kiss was forceful and possessive.

It was almost as if he wanted to tear the flower dye into his belly and devour that kiss.

"My lady, I..."

Joey grabbed Hua Ran's hand again, with extra force, and almost instantly, Hua Ran's wrist was covered in bruises and finger marks.

"Well!"

it hurts!

But this feeling gave Hana-ran only a greater sense of security.

My wife is right in front of me, and she insists very firmly that I belong to her!

Thus, Hua Ran's initial resistance turned into acquiescence, agreement, and indulgence.

The system sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "Hey, baby, you're not going to...?"

"Turn off the lights and turn off the phone."
