Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes (Love You Seven Times)

Chapter 31

This shout of mine echoed for a long time, actually. My face was burning the entire duration. I turned and snuck a glance at Chu Kong. He was also staring at me.

“Ah...sorry, I didn’t know that you two are in such a relationship.”

The woman’s voice was directed at us. A touch of blush quietly spread from Chu Kong’s neck all the way to his ears.

I swallowed, shook my head, and regained my sanity quickly enough to shoot her a ferocious glare. “What nonsense are you spouting?! He and I don’t have any type of relationship!”

Although...the bodies that Chu Kong and I were using did...

The woman continued to naïvely speak. “Then why are you eating vinegar?”

Eating vinegar: getting jealous

This....this was a really good question. My face burned. I massaged my temples and said, “Who was eating vinegar? I... I just wanted to remind you that you’re already married to Zihui. You shouldn’t have a second heart. A woman should not serve two husbands.”

She punched herself in the head.

“Ah, just now I forgot that I was married to Zihui.”

The reason she was abandoned must’ve been because she was so stupid! I wouldn’t believe any other answer at that point.

“Blame it on time...so much time has passed...”

The woman craned her head upwards.

“I’ve waited for so long that my memory isn’t good anymore.”

Her speech was really slow. I couldn’t bear to tell her that she had indeed waited for too long. So long that even the last strands of her soul’s power was beginning to fade away. If she continued to wait, then someday, she’d completely disappear from this world.

“Why do you want to wait for Zihui here? Why don’t you go look for him?”

The soul turned my way. If she hadn’t already waited in this place for a thousand years, then I thought she must’ve been waiting for at least a century. Either way, it seemed too long to be alone.

The girl shook her head.

“I don’t remember. But I remember I can’t leave here.”

She looked at me full of hope.

“So can you help me bring him here? I’ll repay his debt. I’ll find another way to repay you.”

I turned and glanced at Chu Kong. Chu Kong shook his head stubbornly. “I don’t want to help. That stone demon isn’t a good thing.”

“No, you’re wrong,” the girl anxiously retorted after hearing Chu Kong. “Zihui is really good. He’s really good.”

“Oh, if your Zihui is so good, why did he leave you in this place? Your soul is so damaged; you must’ve stayed here for hundreds of years now. Why didn’t he miss you? Why didn’t he come personally to retrieve you? He is your husband, but he doesn’t care deeply about you at all and is still thinking of finding new love.”

Chu Kong paused. I felt that his words had a deeper meaning, so I turned to look at him. He gave me a cold stare, and then he continued: “Such a coldhearted stone demon. You tell me, what’s good about him?”

The woman was silent for a long time. Even though she was translucent, she still sat down on the stone chair like she could touch it. Then she covered her face and shivered.

“I’m sorry, I was not good enough...”

Chu Kong still had things to say, but I couldn’t stand it anymore. I stretched my hand and covered his mouth. Then I said, “Lady, don’t cry. In this short-lived life, it’s impossible to clearly say who’s good and who’s bad. I’m different from this man who argues with you. I’ll help you.”
