Chapter 30: I Am Yours
In Huang Nishang’s eyes, seeing Yue Wuxia and Huang Feiyan standing together, with the initiative of the conversation being held by Huang Feiyan, was really a bit…
But in the end, she was only Huang Nishang, so she remained silent. She naturally couldn’t act like she was the only one awake. Once everyone recovered their memories, some things wouldn’t stand up to deep scrutiny.
The chat between Huang Feiyan and Yue Wuxia went quite well. Afterward, Yue Wuxia and Yue Ningshuang were about to return to the royal palace. Huang Feiyan notified a maid to call Mingyan over and have him personally escort the two princesses home.
“In the blink of an eye, it’s time to get married,” Yue Ningshuang’s smile was clear and cold. “Time passes so fast. I don’t feel it’s real.”
“You’re the one with the loose tongue. Now that our parents are in good health and can witness us getting married, such a fulfilling time, yet you say it doesn’t feel real,” Yue Wuxia glanced at Yue Ningshuang, a little dissatisfied with her statement. Although there had been some twists and turns with Mingyan, the final result had not deviated too much. Yue Wuxia was also satisfied.
Yue Wuxia cherished this period of time very much. If she could not get married under the gaze of her parents, it would be a lifelong regret.
It is said that one only cherishes what one has lost. Yue Ningshuang should be like this, but Yue Wuxia did not want to wait until after she had lost it to cherish it.
Yue Ningshuang pouted. “That’s not what I mean. I just feel that the memories of the past are a bit empty. Don’t you have this feeling, Sister? Sometimes, I feel that the past memories… did they really happen?”
Yue Wuxia gave Yue Ningshuang a big eye-roll. “I think you’re bored out of your mind, thinking about random things every day.”
Mingyan held Yue Ningshuang’s hand with a chuckle. “Why think so much? Cherish the present, live every moment well now, then there is no need to care about the past.”
Yue Ningshuang snorted coquettishly and leaned on Mingyan’s shoulder. “My husband is right. My sister can’t even speak properly.”
Yue Wuxia’s brow twitched. She glanced at Yue Ningshuang. How could I have such a younger sister…
The two of them actually had a big gap in many aspects. Sometimes, Yue Wuxia would even wonder if Yue Ningshuang was really her younger sister.
The most obvious gap was their personality. Both of them had grown up in the same environment, but their personalities were completely different.
But, actually, Yue Ningshuang’s personality was more normal, right? Yue Wuxia couldn’t even remember why her own personality had become so cold.
After sending the two sisters back to the palace, Mingyan did not immediately go back but stayed in Yue Wuxia’s Moon Shadow Palace.
“I’ve been having some dreams recently. Nishang said those are all images from a past life,” Mingyan looked at Yue Wuxia, his eyes a little complicated.
“Our past life doesn’t seem to have been very smooth,” Mingyan let out a deep breath.
“Images from a past life…?” Yue Wuxia thought of the increasingly clear dreams recently. Before, she and Yue Ningshuang had discussed this matter. They seemed to have seen some images that did not belong to their memories at the same time. In those images, they were all with Mingyan.
At that time, Mingyan had told the two of them that it meant that they had been together in a past life.
But during this time, the new images that had appeared made Yue Wuxia a little dazed. Because in those images, although the two of them had some intimate contact, their relationship, no matter how one looked at it, was not like that of partners.
“Yes, it seems that in our past life, you and I were not partners. We both seemed to be cultivators. You were my Shizun, and I was your disciple,” Mingyan nodded. “But my feelings for you were exactly the same as now, but I didn’t dare to tell you.”
“…Why?” Yue Wuxia’s face showed no expression as she asked softly.
“Because I was worried about being expelled from the sect,” Mingyan smiled. “The me of the past life seemed to only dare to carefully hide my thoughts. On one hand, it was because I didn’t want to defile your nurturing care for me. On the other hand, it was also because I was worried that after you knew, you would leave me.”
“I also saw some images,” Yue Wuxia was silent for a while and said, “Perhaps the me of the past life also had some kind of affection for you… it’s just… it’s just that I myself was also not clear and didn’t want to sort it out. I seem to… the me of the past life seems to have thought that it’s best not to make some things clear.”
“So the you of the past life actually also liked the me of the past life?” Mingyan asked with a smile.
“She herself was not clear,” Yue Wuxia shook her head. “Besides, that’s all in the past. What happened in the past, what does it have to do with us now?”
Mingyan smiled and didn’t say anything more. “I just want to tell you that if we couldn’t be together in our past life, then in this life, we have to make up for all the regrets of the past.”
“…” Yue Wuxia looked at Mingyan and suddenly said, “Actually, I think the past life was also not bad. At least you were well-behaved in front of me and didn’t dare to be presumptuous.”
Yue Wuxia still remembered those images. They were all very clear. That honest Mingyan was very different from the Mingyan she knew now. Perhaps there was no big difference; it was just because she was his Shizun, so he would appear very well-behaved in front of her.
“So you want to see me, unable to get what I want?” Mingyan asked with a smile.
“How do you know for sure that you won’t be able to get what you want?” Yue Wuxia looked away. After a long while, she finally said, “Hmm… I just said that the past has nothing to do with us, yet I took the initiative to bring it up. I shouldn’t have done that.”
Mingyan came over, held Yue Wuxia’s hand, and said with a light laugh, “Cherish every moment now. So what if there were regrets in the past? Now, they can always be made up for.”
“Mm,” Yue Wuxia thought for a while and nodded lightly. “You should go back.”
“What? Are you chasing me away?”
“After all, it was Huang Feiyan who took the initiative to ask you to send us back. It’s not good to keep you here for too long. Besides, are you planning to spend the night here?” Yue Wuxia said calmly. “Before we get married, I don’t plan to give myself to you. I’m not that little girl, Yue Ningshuang.”
Mingyan was both amused and exasperated. It was clear that Yue Wuxia still had some resentment towards Yue Ningshuang.
“Don’t say that about Ningshuang. She is your sister,” Mingyan still spoke up for his little sister-in-law and future wife. But Yue Wuxia snorted. “To have such a sister is truly a blessing from three lifetimes.”
With Yue Wuxia’s clear and cold voice saying these words, the sarcastic feeling was overwhelming. Mingyan chuckled and kissed her on her cherry lips. “So cute.”
Yue Wuxia dodged back. “Why did you suddenly kiss me?”
“I’ve already said, it’s because I think you are very cute,” Mingyan shrugged. “I’m really a little reluctant to leave. After all, when it’s time to get married, we won’t be able to see each other for a period of time before that.”
“There will be plenty of time to see each other after we are married,” Yue Wuxia wiped her lips with her jade-like finger, her voice softening. “Go back. Don’t be in a hurry. I am yours, and Ningshuang is also yours. It won’t be long.”
Mingyan pursed his lips and smiled, standing up straight. “Then I’ll be going…”
“Mm,” Yue Wuxia nodded lightly. She watched Mingyan leave with a slight reluctance, and then gradually lowered her head.
