In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window into the room, Zhang Jin opened her eyes. There was a hint of weariness on her face, but her eyes sparkled with a new determination.
She got up and decided to go talk to the Underworld deity. She needed to clearly understand the Underworld deity's plans for the future, and at the same time, find the answers in her own heart.
Walking out of the cabin, she saw the Underworld deity standing by the river in the distance, gazing at the flowing water. The sun had just risen, casting a golden light on him, making him appear particularly mysterious and majestic.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Jin walked towards him. This conversation could determine her fate this time, and it would also affect the future of the child about to be born.
When she stood by the side of the Underworld deity, the Underworld deity turned his head and smiled to greet her: "Zhang Jin, have you rested well?"
"Underworld deity, we need to talk," Zhang Jin's voice was firm, and her eyes revealed determination, "about our child and our future."
Underworld deity nodded, with a deep glint in their eyes: "I know you have many questions. I will tell you everything."
In the tranquility by the river, Zhang Jin and Underworld deity sat down, facing the flowing water, and their conversation slowly began. Underworld deity's voice was deep and calm, with each word revealing thoughtful consideration.
"Zhang Jin, I know this is very sudden for you, perhaps even frightening."
Underworld deity began, "But I want you to know, this child is not just an accident to me. In my long life, this is the first time I have the opportunity to be a father, and it makes me feel both excited and fearful."
"Huh? Did the previous sacrifice brides not get pregnant?" Zhang Jin asked.
"No, only you have become my bride," the Underworld deity replied.
Zhang Jin still looked confused, but she listened quietly, letting her heart slowly calm down. "But I... I'm not ready to become a mother yet," her voice trembled slightly, "I'm afraid I won't do well."
Underworld deity gently placed his hand on hers and comforted, "Zhang Jin, there will never be a completely ready moment to become parents. I will be by your side, no matter what the future holds."
Zhang Jin looked up at Underworld deity with a hint of struggle and unease in her eyes, "But I don't know if I can accept this kind of life. I never imagined living in the underworld, let alone having a child."
Underworld deity looked earnestly at Zhang Jin, his voice filled with warmth and understanding: "Zhang Jin, I know this is a huge challenge for you. But we can create a new life together. I won't force you to make any decisions, including whether to stay in the underworld. I will respect your choice."
Zhang Jin's eyes shimmered with tears, her voice trembling: "I know you will support me, Underworld deity. But I doubt my ability to be a good mother. I am still so young and don't understand this world enough."
Underworld deity gently held her hand and encouraged her: "You are a strong and brave woman, Zhang Jin. I believe that whatever you choose, you will do well. I will be by your side, helping you and protecting you."
Zhang Jin took a deep breath, and her emotions gradually calmed down: "I need time to process these emotions and think about the future. Underworld deity, I'm glad you're willing to listen to me and support me."
A hint of joy flashed in Underworld deity's eyes: "I will give you all the time and space you need. Our future, including our children, is our journey together."
They sat quietly by the river, gazing at the flowing water, immersed in the tranquility of the moment. As the sun rose, it illuminated their faces, bringing new hope and strength.
Zhang Jin finally stood up and smiled at Underworld deity: "Thank you, Underworld deity. I will consider our future and make the best decision."
Han Che walked into the house with a heavy heart. Elder You immediately noticed something was wrong when he saw his son's expression and asked with concern, " Han Che, what's wrong? You look very unhappy."
Han Che remained silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Mother, Zhang Jin is pregnant with Underworld deity's child."
Elder You Upon hearing this, he was first surprised, then a look of sympathy appeared on his face. "Oh, my child, this must be very difficult for you to accept."
She gently touched his face, " Han Che, I know how much you love Zhang Jin, but since it has already happened, we can only accept the reality."
Han Che's eyes were filled with sadness and struggle. He sat down slowly, as if the weight of the whole world was on his shoulders: "I know, Mother. But all of this came too suddenly, and I am not ready to let go."
Elder You gently placed a hand on his shoulder and said, " Han Che, since God of the Underworld has chosen Zhang Jin as his new bride, it means that you may not be destined to be together in this lifetime. You should let go and continue with your life. There are many outstanding girls in our tribe who may bring you new hope."
Han Che Nodding, the emotional turmoil in his heart was undeniable. He knew his mother was right, but his heart still lingered with Zhang Jin. He wasn't sure when he could truly let go of this relationship.
"Mother, I need time," Han Che said softly. "I need time to process my emotions, to accept all of this."
Elder You nodded understandingly, "Of course, child. Take all the time you need. I'll be here to support you all the way."
As night fell, Han Che sat alone by the window, gazing at the starry sky outside.
His heart is filled with contradictions and sadness. He recalls all the beautiful moments with Zhang Jin, and can't help but feel a tinge of regret.
He understands that no matter what the future holds, he must learn to accept and let go. This is part of his growth and the pain that he must experience on his life journey.
Han Che The thoughts drift in the endless night sky, his soul seeking comfort in this peaceful night. Perhaps time will heal everything, but for now, he can only let his emotions flow freely.
