Chapter 59(2/3)
Shi Li was frowned and didn't say anything. He thought that this time he had to give him a long memory, otherwise he would force her to reconcile in this way every time he quarreled in the future. It would be fine if he felt depressed, but his body would not be able to stand it!
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Jingyan knew that she was still angry. After pausing for a moment, he hugged her: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. From today on, I will stay at home with you. Don't be angry, okay?"
Shi Li still ignored him and even tried to push him, but his body was like a iron plate, and she was soft and weak, unable to shake him at all. If she couldn't move him, Shi Li was too lazy to do it, so she let him hold her face.
After Chen Jingyan said that, he waited for a long time but didn't wait for her reply. He couldn't help but let go of her slightly, looked into her eyes and said, "Are you still angry?"
Shi Li had no expression on her face.
Chen Jingyan was silent for a moment: "Don't you want to know the reason why I've been alienating you during this period? If I tell you, will you not be angry?"
Shi Li was instantly moved, but felt that if he nodded now, he would be a little unreliable.
Just when she was in a dilemma, Chen Jingyan took the initiative to speak: "You guessed it is indeed related to the sea witch."
Shi Li's eyes moved slightly and he frowned and looked at him.
"Actually... I promised her when I was making a deal with the sea witch that if I finally fulfilled my wish, I would give her the last ten years of life and my life. I forgot this request, but some time ago you suddenly mentioned that you would be with me for the rest of your life, and I suddenly remembered it," Chen Jingyan lowered his eyes and did not look at her. "Ten years of life is too long. No one knows how long we can live. What if we are just a decade away from being old together? I am afraid that you will be angry, so I never dared to tell you."
"So in order not to reduce our life span of these ten years, you deliberately alienated me when you realized that I loved you more and more, so as not to fulfill your wish, right?" As soon as Shi Li opened her mouth, she felt an excessive pain in her throat.
Chen Jingyan was silent for a moment and nodded silently.
"You gave up termination of the transaction for the sake of ten years of life?" Shi Li narrowed her eyes.
Chen Jingyan looked at her with a rare care, and after a while, he said, "It's not over. We just get along with each other indifferently. When we are old and dying, we will love each other again, so that we can have both."
Shi Li: "…"
"But now it seems you don't like it," Chen Jingyan smiled bitterly and emphasized again, "I really want to go with you until old age."
Shi Li looked at him silently, and finally broke free from his hands quietly, and lay on the bed again, but this time he turned his back to him.
"I've finished explaining, are you still unwilling to forgive me, right?" Chen Jingyan asked.
―The system cannot answer subjective questions.
Shi Li: When you guessed that he cheated, why didn’t you say that this was a subjective issue?
―... Logically speaking, his behavior is untenable. Humans in this world generally have a low lifespan, and they have been recognized as elderly people since they were fifty. Most people can live to about eighty years old and lose ten years of life. This is not enough for them to fail to achieve the achievement of growing old together. If they are always avoiding you, they will cause danger of changing their minds, and the price is to lose their souls and not conform to the logic of choosing a normal person.
Shi Li thought so too, so he didn't believe it since he heard it. He was a little depressed when he saw him speak in a good manner. He would rather make up such a complete reason than tell the truth, which means he really didn't plan to say it. No matter how she asked, he wouldn't say it. If he was too impatient, he might create a lie with higher authenticity.
Even if she doesn't believe it now, he will sooner or later find a reason to convince her.
Shi Li sighed, feeling that it was necessary to go to the beach. Since the thing helped her, there must be a reason to help her, and maybe there will be a breakthrough there.
She was thinking about countermeasures, and just as she was about to devote herself, she suddenly smelled the fragrance of food, and her stomach, which had been in a state of hunger, suddenly felt another gurgle.
Before she could find the source of the food, Chen Jingyan pushed open the door and came in. He held the freshly steamed rice and sausages on his hand, and there was hot white smoke. The moment she saw it, saliva was about to flow out.
"Eat something." Chen Jingyan said gently.
Shi Li's expression moved, and after a while he sat up with a tense face, he reluctantly stretched out his hand to him: "Give it to me."
Chen Jingyan brought it to her with a smile, placed the tray directly beside the bed, scooped a spoonful of rice, put two slices of sausages on it, and fed it directly to her mouth: "Can you forgive me now?"
There was still a burst of soreness on his body, and Shi Li snorted: "If I don't forgive me, are you not going to let me eat it?"
Chen Jingyan was moved when he heard her words, but glanced at her expression and shook his head in a sensible manner: "How could it be, even if you never talk to me in your whole life, I still want to feed you."
Shi Li was satisfied at this time. He glanced at him and stopped talking. He ate all the rice and sausages in his spoon. After eating, he didn't forget to look at him in a panic to show that he was still angry, but he didn't know that his mouth was bulging, like a hamster, and had no deterrence at all.
Chen Jingyan resisted the urge to laugh for the sake of peace between the two.
The two of them fed one and the other, and soon the tray became empty. Chen Jingyan brought the tray to the kitchen and saw her lying down again.
"Go out for a walk, I haven't moved for a whole day." Chen Jingyan advised.
Shi Li's mind moved, then closed her eyes: "I don't want to move."
Chen Jingyan advised her for a few more words. Seeing that she was unmoved, she had to prepare to lie down with her. As a result, before she could lie down, Shi Li opened her eyes: "You go out."
Chen Jingyan froze: "Where to go?"
"I haven't made up with you yet, you go out to sleep." Shi Li's expressionless face.
Chen Jingyan tried to hug her: "Aren't you no longer angry?"
"I still hurt." Shi Li frowned.
Chen Jingyan didn't dare to move at once. After a moment of stiffness, he sighed: "Can I sleep on the ground?"
"No, I don't want to see you," Shi Li paused for a moment, and softened his tone again, "You bullied people so much yesterday. I'm a little unhappy now. Can you wait for me to take it slowly?"
Chen Jingyan pursed his lips and asked with some concern: "It's really just slow down?"
"Yes." Shi Li nodded.
Chen Jingyan: "...If I leave now, you will make peace with me tomorrow?"
Shi Li nodded: "Yes, but you can't stay in the yard. There are too many mosquitoes. If I find that there are traces of mosquito bites on you, I will still not forgive you, so you will stay in the hotel tonight."
"……good."
Seeing her insistence, Chen Jingyan turned around and walked out step by step. When he was about to reach the door, he couldn't help looking back at her and asked with a look: "Why don't I stand behind the curtains and I promise not to let you see me."
Shi Li's heart was almost gone, but he still deliberately looked stern: "Go away quickly."
"...You will really forgive me tomorrow?" Chen Jingyan asked again.
Shi Li held back her smile: "Yes, I will forgive you."
She drove him away now because based on her understanding of him, he would be very obedient in order not to make her angry anymore and stay with her in anger. However, she had to go to the sea witch to figure out all this, and she could not let him know that if he didn't need to be angry today, it would be even more difficult for her to have her own time afterwards.
"Really?" Chen Jingyan asked.
Shi Li nodded.
"...Then will you let me stay in a hotel tomorrow?" Chen Jingyan asked again.
Shi Li finally became impatient: "Can you leave? If you don't leave, I will leave."
"Let's go." Chen Jingyan hurriedly replied, then turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Shi Li smiled with the quilt in his arms. After sitting up for a long time, he quietly jumped out of the bed, ran to the door and glanced out. After finding that there was no trace of Chen Jingyan in the yard, he immediately came back and put on his shoes, flipped over the wall of the yard, and ran towards the sea.
After she ran out, she found that there were many people on the street. She suddenly remembered what kind of celebration it seemed today, and she suddenly regretted that she had come out so early. After she moved with Shen Jingyan, she met many friends in this city, and neighbors became even more familiar with each other. What if she was hit by an acquaintance and told Chen Jingyan what to do?
Just as he thought about this, a neighbor greeted her. Shi Li nodded stiffly, and at the same time accelerated her pace and rushed towards the direction of the sea. Anyway, she had been discovered, and now she has no chance to come out after she goes back. It would be better to figure out all this as soon as possible. As for how to explain to Chen Jingyan, she would fool him like he was fooling himself.
Shi Li's body was sore and painful, and now she had to run wildly. When she thought of Chen Jingyan, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
She walked through the bustling street market, and there were fewer people around her. She quickly ran to the dock smoothly. After patrolling around, she saw that there was no one around, so she called the sea witch to the sea.
Although it is said that the traces of the sea witch are mysterious, she just thinks that this thing is targeted by her and Shen Jingyan, so no matter whoever they look for it, it will appear soon.
Just as Shi Li thought, after she shouted twice, a sudden wave soon appeared on the sea surface. She immediately asked: "Why did you let me know that Chen Jingyan from these worlds are the same person?"
- In order to complete the transaction as soon as possible.
Shi Li instinctively disbelief, but before he could express it, he was suddenly stunned. It said that the transaction was completed as soon as possible, rather than terminated the transaction.
As if answering her doubts, an answer soon emerged in her mind -
Chen Jingyan deceived you. Your love cannot terminate the transaction, but can only complete the transaction, because our real transaction is that as long as you can fall in love with him wholeheartedly, he will hand over his soul to me.
"You are lying! It is obvious that as long as I fall in love with him, the transaction can be terminated!" Shi Li said angrily.
―You know what I said is right, otherwise why Chen Jingyan suddenly became abnormal during this period? Because he regretted it. Compared to you falling in love with him wholeheartedly, he prefers to be with you for the rest of his life, but it is too late.
Shi Li bit her lip suddenly.
―Do you want to terminate the transaction? Then let your blood soak his body and exchange your life with me.
Shi Li looked at the waves angrily. Just as she was about to say something, the waves suddenly disappeared and turned into a small wave in the sea and walked into the sea. She still had questions to ask. She jumped into the sea without hesitation. When she swam forward, she heard a heart-wrenching sound behind her: "Shi Li!"
She paused for a moment, and still gritted her teeth to chase the sea witch, but she couldn't catch up with her. There was only an old voice surrounding her ears--
After the transaction is completed, his soul will belong to me. The soul is immortal and the world is not destroyed. You will be trapped here for the rest of your life and there is no possibility of leaving. Invader, don’t you love him? How can you bear to watch him because you turn into an eternal part, always sober and not belong to yourself.
Shi Li's teeth were tightly locked, and the smell of blood was also overflowing from his mouth. Even if he tried his best to chase him, he could only watch the sea witch get farther and farther away, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only a rusty dagger.
She stopped suddenly in front of the dagger and stared at it for a long time.
...
When she was swimming up the shore, she saw Chen Jingyan who was about to lose strength, so she hurried over to hug him. Chen Jingyan realized that it was her and immediately shackled her and buried her face in her arms. The sea water was very cool, but she felt the warm water soaking in her heart.
Shi Li paused, hugged him and floated out of the water, and slowly sailed up the shore.
"I thought you were leaving me." Chen Jingyan said in a hoarse voice.
Shi Li touched his head with a funny look: "How could I bear it?"
"Then why did you show up in the sea?" he asked again.
Shi Li paused: "You haven't gotten sea water for me for a long time, and my skin is dry."
"It's my fault. I've neglected you so much during this period. You can hit me, and it's okay to chop one of my arms, just don't ignore me." Chen Jingyan said, and his eyes gradually turned red.
Shi Li took him to the shore, and the two of them sank on the stone to rest. After a long time, she whispered: "I will not ignore you again in the future."
"Really?" Chen Jingyan asked.
