The River Gods Bridegroom

I couldn’t explain the situation with Rong Si; these things were heavenly secrets.

Including the fact that Rong Si was invisible to others.

I could only explain, “I… I went to take care of some business, and now I’m back, aren’t I?

“And didn’t I leave you a note?”

Xie Yu: “I didn’t see it.”

“Right, you went to take care of some business.

“Did you go to ascend? Or where did you go?”

I didn’t speak.

Xie Yu’s voice was filled with disappointment.

“Do you know that during those days in the hospital, I kept thinking: what if I went back and you were gone?

“Then I thought, what if in the future I leave this world long before you do? What then?

“I know that forcing you to stay with me is actually quite selfish, but I also knew it was my only choice. If it wasn’t you, I would be destined to be alone for the rest of my life.

“And yet, I was never your first priority.

“So, when I came back and saw that you had truly left, I decided.

“Ze Quan, I’ll let you go.

“You were right. Humans and gods really are on different paths.”

He raised his hand to tidy my messy hair.

“You’re a goddess, why have you let yourself get into such a sorry state?”

I had been moved, but in the next second, I saw the icy hatred and self-mockery in Xie Yu’s eyes.

“It’s just that over these past six months, I’ve been in an even sorrier state than you.”

He turned away, no longer looking at me.

Even though we were so close, I couldn’t summon the courage to touch him.

I raised my hand, within reach of him.

But I heard Xie Yu say: “Ze Quan, I wish you success in your ascension.”
