Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes (Love You Seven Times)

Chapter 48

The next day, I went to Da Hua’s wedding and Chu Kong went down the mountain alone.

What I didn’t expect was that Chu Kong didn’t return for half a year after he left.

Midwinter, December.

Seeing that it was nearly New Year, I was contemplating if I should go out to look for Chu Kong. But I was afraid that he was practicing and that I would cause chaos at his progress if I've just gone to him.

I hesitated for a few days and couldn’t make up my mind if I should or shouldn’t go search for Chu Kong. I suddenly realized that the ultimate aim of Heavenly emperor Lee had been achieved. This seventh lifetime, I and Chu Kong finally walked on the road of the play of the miserable love about the little wife chasing the husband!

On New Year’s Eve, I dug up the wine made of the horn of the deer horse demon from the yard. Brewing it for so many years, I didn’t have the heart to drink it. But this year’s New Year’s Eve, I didn’t have Chu Kong to accompany me. At least a jar of wine could comfort my loneliness.

While I was thinking that, I opened the sealed jar. Suddenly, there were sounds of descending footsteps.

The smell of the wine was blooming. I looked up and saw Chu Kong returning from the snow. He was eventually reluctant to let me spend the New Year alone.

I smiled and waved at him: “You really know when to come back. I just opened the jar of wine. Come and have a taste.”

Chu Kong stood outside for a moment. I felt it was strange.

“Come in, ah.”

He scratched his head: “Xiao Xiang being like this, it is the same like I just left yesterday. All the things I prepared in my heart didn’t come in use. Now I don’t know what to do.”

“You have never left.”

That just slipped out of my mouth. Chu Kong froze again. After a long time did he come to me and sat down. I poured two cups of wine. I handed Chu Kong one cup and looked at him carefully. Seeing his ordinary body, it was hard not to feel disappointed. But now he was not even in his twenties. He still had some years left. I consoled myself and smiled: “Did you do something that would make you embarrassed this time you went out? Say it to let Xiao Xiang be happy.”

He shook his head, thought for a while and then said: “Didn’t get embarrassed, but I met someone. He said I’m with three immortal souls and seven mortal souls. I’m still missing one mortal soul.”

I sipped a mouthful wine and looked up at him: “Mm, that’s right. You still miss one mortal soul.”

Chu Kong dropped his head in silence. Watching the sky getting dark, the mountain was decorated and livelier than usual, making the foot of Lu Hua Mountain feel more deserted.

Chu Kong raised his head and gulped the cup of wine in one gulp. He gritted his teeth and asked: “Don’t Xiao Xiang has more to tell me?”

I pondered for a while. I thought that Chu Kong wasn’t young anymore. His memory was gradually recovering. Instead of letting him guess and come up with strange things, I should just tell him everything.

I cleared my throat, sipped wine while recalling the things of the past. While I made these memories into words, I told him the whole story.

After I told him about the past six lifetimes, the sky had become completely dark. Down the mountain they light up fireworks, making the sky colorful.

After I drank the wine that was still in my cup, I looked up at Chu Kong. I saw him hung his head. The hair on his forehead obscured his face, making me unable to understand him.
