“Wheat, don’t listen to him.” A voice suddenly echoed in my mind; it was Su Anrong.
I instantly snapped back to reality, but remembering that I was competing against Lin Xiuyu, I gritted my teeth and refused to move an inch.
Seeing that I remained silent, Lin Xiuyu continued, “Yau Ping Ting. I don’t ask for your whole life, just one day. Just one day together with me—are you really unwilling to give me even that?”
Lin Xiuyu was a pitiful man, a general who bled and sweat for his country. He didn’t die at the hands of the enemy but was instead killed by his own subordinates, and in such a humiliating manner. To be honest, I truly felt sympathy for him and regarded him differently.
In my past life, I owed him so much; spending just one day with him in this life didn’t seem too unreasonable.
But if I did that, what would happen to Garlic? No, no matter what, since I had already chosen Garlic in this life, I couldn’t give any other man a chance.
“Lin Xiuyu, no matter what, that’s already a matter of the past. The You Pingting of my previous life may have wronged you, but she is dead now. I am Youmai Vegetable. I sympathize with your plight, but I must remain loyal to my husband. Even if it’s just one day for you, or even one hour, it would still be a betrayal to my husband.”
“My hundreds of years of searching can’t even earn you one day. Your heart is truly harder than stone.” Lin Xiuyu’s voice was filled with anger and barely concealed jealousy. “What’s so good about Su Anrong?”
“If you’ve been in this world for hundreds of years, you should know how foolish that question is. There’s a saying: ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’ Even if he has a million flaws in my eyes, he is still good. And you could have a million virtues, but that won’t make me love you. Lin Xiuyu, let it go. You know as well as I do that this obsession of yours has lasted for hundreds of years—must everyone else be unsettled because of it? There are so many people outside; if they were to die because of this, how much blood would be on your hands?”
“For you, what’s wrong with killing the world?”
“You really want to force me into this, don’t you? Lin Xiuyu, let me make it clear: there is no possibility between us. If you don’t change your obsession, then for the sake of the world, I will kill you.”
“Hahahahaha!” Lin Xiuyu suddenly burst into laughter; his laughter echoed through the room like lingering notes that made my heart race with anxiety. “So you intend to be my enemy?”
“If you want to harm my relatives and friends, then I can only stand against you,” I said resolutely. I knew that in matters of love, I could not give any man I disliked a misunderstanding; only by being cold-hearted could I sever all his hopes.
Lin Xiuyu suddenly stood up and smiled bitterly. “Alright then, this round—I lose.”
I never expected him to concede so quickly; my legs were starting to feel numb from sitting cross-legged.
"I want you to understand what kind of person Su Anrong is, the one you are so determined to defend. Do you really think he loves you? From beginning to end, he only loves himself."
"Do you think I would believe your slander?"
"If you don't believe it, then why bother competing with me? You know better than anyone about your doubts regarding him. Youmai Vegetable, the moment you agreed to this competition, you lost."
"Is that so? Then tell me how you concluded that he only loves himself." I crossed my arms, waiting for his answer. Although Su Anrong often disappeared without a trace and always spoke in half-truths, I had never doubted him. My agreement to compete was not born from suspicion but rather a desire to understand his troubles.
Moreover, I wanted to know why Lin Xiuyu had been trying to get closer to me. He used to say very little, making it hard for me to judge his intentions. I wanted him to talk more; whether he spoke the truth or lies, it would still hold value for me.
One can sense how someone treats them; it cannot be erased by others' slander. I believe that the kindness Su Anrong showed me can withstand all the world's accusations.
Lin Xiuyu seemed taken aback by my attitude toward this matter. With a hint of sorrow in his voice, he said, "If he loves you, then how could he have harmed you in a past life? I’ll leave it at that; if you don’t believe me, feel free to ask him." With that, Lin Xiuyu offered no further explanation and turned to leave.
However, when he opened the door, there stood someone outside who surprised us both.
No, for me, it was a delightful surprise.
"Su Anrong," I stammered as I stood there, finally understanding what it felt like to cry tears of joy.
Lin Xiuyu also paused slightly, deliberately adjusting the button on his collar, creating the illusion that he had just finished something with me.
At that moment, Su Anrong stood at the door like a king surveying his domain, elegant and noble, wearing a confident smile that suggested he had everything under control. Our gazes crossed over Lin Xiuyu, and in that shared glance, countless unspoken words melted away.
He had finally returned; he was finally back.
It had been less than a day, yet it felt like a lifetime. I couldn't pinpoint when it happened, but Su Anrong had burrowed so deeply into my heart that it felt like he was embedded in my very bones.
Su Anrong seemed completely unfazed by Lin Xiuyu's small gesture, even raising his lips in a light smile as he asked, "Is the competition fun?"
Lin Xiuyu's expression changed, a look of embarrassment washing over him as if he had been mocked. He stood there in silence for a long moment.
Su Anrong continued, "Today is a momentous day for me and Wheat. Since you’re Wheat's teacher and you've come all this way, why not come in and sit for a while?"
What was he trying to do?
I felt a bit confused; shouldn’t we be hurrying to rescue the guests? I was anxious, not wanting Su Anrong to get into another argument with Lin Xiuyu and waste time. But then I noticed Rice behind Su Anrong making faces at me and giving me a victory sign, which eased the weight in my heart.
Rice and I shared an unspoken understanding; his gesture likely meant that the guests were safe now.
Then I recalled Lin Xiuyu's earlier slander against Su Anrong, which left me feeling displeased. I quickly said, "Exactly, Teacher Lin. What you just said is something I need to verify with my husband. Why don’t you witness it too?"
With our banter, Lin Xiuyu expressionlessly sat back down in his chair.
Su Anrong seemed somewhat surprised by my words as he took a seat beside me. "Wife, what do you want to verify?" Although curious, he showed no signs of being flustered, which put me at ease.
In front of Lin Xiuyu, I asked, "Garlic sauce, my death in my past life was related to you, wasn’t it?" I ultimately couldn’t bring myself to say “it was your fault,” opting for a more tactful approach.
Lin Xiuyu watched Su Anrong with keen interest as Su Anrong’s gaze shifted between us. He smiled and said, "It seems like both of you are waiting for me to follow the script. So let me tell you the truth: Wife, no matter how you died in any of your lifetimes, it’s connected to me because I will always be by your side, waiting for your reincarnation."
Hearing such an answer finally relaxed the tension in my heart. However, Lin Xiuyu's expression darkened; he gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Qi Zunshang, do you dare to answer her question directly?"
His question was strange, and Su Anrong's response only added to my confusion as he casually replied, "I just answered directly."
Though I said that, I knew very well that he was deliberately avoiding the topic. Although I felt a bit sad, I didn't want to be used as a pawn by Lin Xiuyu. What he had witnessed ended here; if there were any further questions, I wanted to close the door and ask Su Anrong alone.
So, I stood up and said, "Teacher Lin, that's enough. Thank you for coming today. Now we need to go out and entertain our guests. Please feel free to leave."
Su Anrong also stood up, taking my hand and wrapping it around his wrist with a look of indulgence as he said, "Wife, let's go."
As we passed by Lin Xiuyu, he finally gritted his teeth and angrily exclaimed, "Wheat, your death in your past life was caused by him. He is the one who harmed you. Do you still want to stubbornly stay with him?"
I could clearly feel Su Anrong's body tremble slightly; Lin Xiuyu's words seemed to have struck a chord with him. My heart sank as well. Although he didn't speak, his reaction indicated that what Lin Xiuyu said was likely true.
But I gritted my teeth and firmly replied, "Teacher Lin, I've told you several times that my past life has nothing to do with who I am now. I am not interested in how I was or how I died in my past life; I only care about this life. And my choice in this life is Su Anrong."
Su Anrong stiffened again, seemingly surprised by my words, pulling me even closer. We ignored Lin Xiuyu and headed directly back to the lawn where, as expected, everyone was waiting for us.
I lowered my voice and asked, "What happened?"
Su Anrong smiled at the guests while quietly replying, "Everything you saw just now was an illusion. Although Lin Xiuyu's power is less than a thousand years old, his spiritual energy is strong, especially in Illusion. Wife, after the wedding, I'll explain everything clearly to you."
I forced a smile and said, "I don't want to hear your explanation at all because you always say that but never truly clarify anything."
"This time, it will be absolutely clear. Tonight, give me the whole night," he said with a double entendre that made my face flush red. I stopped talking to him.
With Su Anrong around, the wedding went very smoothly; however, the wedding night did not go as smoothly.
Su Anrong didn't have many friends in the human world, but we had one son, two bodyguards, my two unreliable best friends, and one troublemaker named Zhang Mengdi.
Once the guests left, a group of people surrounded us and pushed me into the room. Su Anrong seemed very happy to indulge them while I felt somewhat uncomfortable. After being publicly kissed and hugged by Su Anrong multiple times, we were then pushed down onto the bed by Lizard and Lizard.
That wasn't the main point; the main point was that when we finally realized what had happened, we found our backs completely stuck to the bed.
I cursed those bastards—only kindergarten kids would smear glue on chairs! You actually covered our wedding bed with it!
"Queen, enjoy slowly," the two guys had dramatically improved in looks and found it increasingly easy to get things done. The three women were instantly captivated by them and completely followed their arrangements while Rice mischievously stuffed a pill into each of our mouths.
"Daddy, Mommy, this is my newly developed upgraded version of the A Thousand Gold Pill, called A Pill Worth Ten Thousand Gold. I've given you both a limited edition of two! Happy wedding!" The little one finished speaking, and along with the spirit and two demons, the six of them laughed mischievously as they exited our room.
What left me speechless was that just after they left, Zhang Mengdi pushed the door open again, placed a voice recorder down, and then cheerfully exited, saying, "Happy wedding!"
At that moment, I felt like a hundred thousand alpacas were galloping through my mind.
I absolutely do not want to perform Small Piece!
However, my protests were of no use. This upgraded version of Rice's aphrodisiac had effects that came on quickly and fiercely.
