Volume 1 Poppy Flowers Chapter 03: Ups and downs in fate
Although she had previously suggested that Mo Yi protect her closely, when she was faced with the serious issue of the two of them living together for a while, Ping Lili still felt a little embarrassed.
Moving into Mo Yi's apartment was the result of their negotiation. Although Ying Lili's parents were temporarily stationed in another place for work, they could not rule out the possibility of them suddenly coming back to give their precious daughter a surprise. If her parents suddenly came home and found out that she was living with a boy, the consequences would be something that Ying Lili would never dare to imagine even if she had a hundred thousand guts...
Living at Mo Yi's place, at least she could lie and say she went to a classmate's house. As long as she wasn't caught red-handed, everything would be fine. Thinking of her father's stern face, Ying Lili couldn't help but shudder, but she had no better choice.
Her only hope now is to find a way to lift the curse on herself as soon as possible so that she can become a normal person again.
Mo Yi's apartment is very simple, even empty, with only a few simple daily necessities and furniture.
Mo Yi explained that he would move frequently anyway, and he didn't need too many things. Facing the puzzled expression of Ying Lili, he kindly explained further: "You know, I will always look like an 18-year-old. If I live in the same place for too long, it will arouse suspicion from others, so moving is a common thing."
"Have you always been alone?" Ping Lili blurted out curiously. She felt something was wrong after the words came out. Fortunately, Mo Yi didn't mind that much.
He lay cross-legged on the sofa, looking up at the setting sun outside the window, his expression unreadable: "Yeah, friends, lovers, those things are all unnecessary to me. Anyway, I will disappear from their side forever soon, so why bother..."
However, when he said this, a familiar face flashed through Mo Yi's mind.
To Mo Yi, that was a very long time ago, so long ago that he even thought he was about to forget the memory, but the face in the memory had some faint overlap with the girl in front of him.
But Mo Yi's words just now left Ping Lili speechless for a long time. She looked at that face that could never bear any traces of time, and a sour feeling welled up in her heart again. Whenever she thought of the fact that he had experienced hundreds of years alone, she would feel pity for him from the bottom of her heart.
Has this person been living in such long loneliness for hundreds of years?
Ping Lili didn't know what it meant to live a year in a day, but she couldn't imagine if she would have a mental breakdown in such eternal loneliness. Her parents worked in the field for many years, and she was almost always alone since she could remember, so she knew the taste of loneliness, which was why she felt so sympathetic.
You know, that wasn't just one or two years, it was decades or even hundreds of years! What a long time that was? How did he survive bit by bit alone? In her heart, she inexplicably felt a trace of pity for the man in front of her.
I don’t know if it was because staying with Mo Yi made Ping Lili feel at ease from the bottom of her heart, or if it was because too many things happened that day that made her physically and mentally exhausted, but when Mo Yi came out of the shower, he found Ping Lili already lying on the sofa and fast asleep.
Mo Yi walked over silently. He gently used the hand with the mark on it to push away the hair on Ying Lili's forehead and slowly reached towards her brows. However, his fingers were bounced away by a strong force before they even touched her.
That is the mark passed down from generation to generation by the Shamo clan, the most famous wizard in the Xuming world!
That is the mark on the forehead of the so-called "God of Shamo" - the reincarnation of Kamado!
It is also the unique mark of the woman who cast the Suzaku Curse on herself and all her tribe members...
She was the only woman he had ever admired in his life, and also the most painful betrayal he had ever experienced in his life.
He knew her difficulties. This was their fate. She had no choice. However, understanding did not mean acceptance! Even though hundreds of years had passed, he still could not let it go from the bottom of his heart.
Now, she has been reincarnated as a human again, but has lost all her memories and abilities from her previous life. How ironic that a sorcerer would be bound by the curse she cast. Is this what fate calls a trick? Is this reincarnated girl really the key to unlocking the fate of the Nayu people?
Mo Yi stood there coldly for a long time, until the mark slowly disappeared between Ping Lili's brows. Then he looked at the sleeping face that was still as peaceful and innocent as a baby. He sighed softly and closed his eyes helplessly...
