This was the only part that Jun Mo Xie couldn't understand at all. From the way he saw it, her revealing herself would not do anything other than stir up more trouble and increase the danger to herself.
"You think that I wanted to come out? It's just that I still owe you something, so if I didn't come out at that time, I would no longer have that opportunity…" Miao Xiao Miao turned around and said in a light voice.
"Owe me something?" Jun Mo Xie raised his brows with confusion.
This time, Young Master Jun was not acting. He truly didn't know what this Young Lady Miao meant.
"I've said before, that if you won the competition today, I would let you see my true appearance. You might have taken it to be a joke, but I meant it seriously…" Miao Xiao Miao's voice sounded very soft and gentle, carrying a dreamy sense.
However, Jun Mo Xie still felt his mind shaken violently!
"At that time, I decided that even if both of us would die, I would honor my promise, to show you my true appearance before you died." Miao Xiao Miao's voice trembled slightly, as if she were repressing some kind of emotion. "That way, even if there was no saviour and the two of us died, I hoped that if there's a next life, you will still be able to remember… my face…"
"Just so that if there's a next life, you will not miss me and we will not pass each other by!" Miao Xiao Miao's body shook, and she lifted her head to look at Jun Mo Xie with her eyes filled with tears.
If there's a next life, we must not pass each other by!
Jun Mo Xie felt a violent bang in his heart…
Looking at the painful expression in Miao Xiao Miao's eyes, he suddenly felt his heart softening…
In that instant, he seemed to recall a song playing in his ears… a melody from his past life.
I think that I should meet you in a different way… Even if we can't be together in this life… I'm willing to wait until my next life… to be with you… You will develop renewed feelings for me… and I will silently pray to the heavens to be careful with you… not letting your looks change… Whether you are in a bustling city or a remote village… I will recognize you at a for visiting.
"I… I didn't see anything!" Jun Mo Xie hurriedly shut his eyes and shook his head repeatedly. "I didn't see anything! Really didn't see anything!"
"But you did! And you know best yourself whether you've seen it." At this time, Miao Xiao Miao no longer cared about her image as a girl as she stomped her feet, not knowing if she should laugh or be angry. "Mo Jun Ye, you're trying to be deliberately shameless! Even if you want to back out, you've still seen my face! In this lifetime, I'm sticking to you! I'm a person of your Mo Family in life, and a ghost of your Mo Family in death!"
Jun Mo Xie made a strange sobbing sound in his throat, and he stuttered in a panicked voice as though he was about to start crying. "I… I'll be beaten to death, I'll definitely be beaten to death! I'm finished… truly finished…"
"Who dares!" Miao Xiao Miao snorted with rage. "Whoever dares to beat you, I'll beat that person up!"
After saying that, she smiled shyly and looked at Jun Mo Xie. "Husband, don't worry, my Grandpa and Father dote on me the most. If there's nobody whom my heart desires, they might still marry me off for the sake of the family… But if I already… I already… they will most likely consent to the two of us. Moreover, you have the support of the Misty Illusory Manor. I'm sure Grandpa and Father will be happy to see us together…"
"What? I'm not worried about your grandfather or your father…" Jun Mo Xie said in an anxious voice, nearly bursting into tears. "I'm worried about my… mom…" Only when the words came out of his mouth did he remember: the person whom he had the least need to worry about was probably his mother…
Dongfang Wen Xin only wished that Jun Mo Xie could marry a few more back home for her… with regards to a matter like this, she would be more than glad to fan the flames. The ones he was truly worried about was Mei Xue Yan and Guan Qing Han…
With just a mere thought, he could already imagine the wrath of the icy cold mountain-like beauty and the dominating anger of a queen… Jun Mo Xie felt as if he had been caught in bed with a mistress. In that moment, all the hairs on his skin stood up on their ends and he shivered in spite of the warmth.
"Give me a bit of time, alright?" Jun Mo Xie sighed and said in a defeated manner.
"Of course." Only now, did Miao Xiao Miao feel her face burning up. Lowering her head, she did not dare look at Jun Mo Xie anymore. Her voice had become as soft as a mosquito's as she mumbled, "Husband… as long as you… I will definitely wait for you…"
Jun Mo Xie sighed heavily in his heart, and he felt his heart growing sour again with pain…
The night's wind was cold and gentle, blowing lightly across the land.
The two stood across from each other, both with their heads lowered, neither speaking a single word.
At this time, Jun Mo Xie's heart was in chaos, while Miao Xiao Miao's heart was bursting with joy and shyness. It felt like the relaxation of finishing a whole day of work, her whole body bereft of strength… a strange feeling that she could collapse at any time…This is a Chinese song by Dao Lang, titled 'Poplar Tree of Kashgar'.
