Volume 2: Secret Realm Reincarnation Chapter 227 Siyan, I’m sorry!
The departure of his parents left Li Xuanfeng silent for a long time.
Shen Luoyan understood his feelings very well and stayed by his side every day. She didn't say many words of comfort, but just stayed by his side quietly.
She knew Li Xuanfeng's character very well and knew that any extra comfort would be useless at this moment. The best thing was to just stay with him quietly.
At this time, the two of them are already in their sixties, with white hair and rough skin. They are no longer the handsome man and beautiful woman they used to be.
Further away, the middle-aged Li Siyan and Yu Xia were looking at their parents sitting together from afar, with deep reluctance in their eyes.
Her loving grandparents passed away one after another, making Li Siyan deeply experience the separation of life and death. Although she knew that this was the final destination for everyone, she still could not control her inner sadness.
What makes her even more worried is that her parents are now old and she may not have much time left to accompany them!
After a few days of silence, Li Xuanfeng seemed to have suddenly figured it out . A strong light suddenly burst out from his turbid eyes, as deep as the stars!
Shen Luoyan, who was beside Li Xuanfeng, noticed something instantly. She suddenly found that his state at this moment was somewhat familiar, almost exactly the same as his state after meeting the immortal that year. He exuded an indescribable aura!
This was the second time Shen Luoyan felt this kind of momentum. An incredible thought emerged in her mind, as if her husband, who had been with her for decades, had been hiding a huge secret!
The aura on Li Xuanfeng did not last long. It completely dissipated in the blink of an eye. He was still the same old man exuding the aura of vicissitudes of life, as if the aura just now had never appeared.
Although Shen Luoyan was a little surprised, she thought it was just because he was too sad, or it was her own illusion. Moreover, Li Xuanfeng was in grief, so she did not ask about it.
From that day on, Li Xuanfeng no longer remained silent, and Shen Luoyan and her daughter finally felt relieved. The family suppressed their sadness and continued their ordinary life.
After repeated persuasion from his daughter and son-in-law, Li Xuanfeng no longer goes to the fields to do farm work, leaving all the work to the young people. He only needs to stay at home or take a walk in the village.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye another ten years had passed.
At this time, Shen Luoyan's body had become extremely thin, her hair was snow-white, and although there was still a hint of beauty on her face, it was now covered with wrinkles, and her whole body was full of traces of time.
Li Xuanfeng's health is slightly better than Shen Luoyan's. He stays with her every day, helping her take a walk in the yard, and occasionally goes to the river to get some fresh air.
Shen Luoyan knew her own physical condition, and there was deep reluctance in her eyes when she looked at Li Xuanfeng. She didn't want to be separated from Li Xuanfeng!
Shen Luoyan stays with Li Xuanfeng every day and follows him wherever he goes, as if she has become a clingy child.
Li Xuanfeng knew her feelings and stopped going out. He stayed with Shen Luoyan every day and the two became inseparable.
Li Xuanfeng's childhood friend, the elderly Er Gou, saw the two and joked, "You two have been married for decades, why are you acting like newly married young people? Aren't you ashamed?"
"It's none of your business. We can do whatever we want. You should just take care of yourself." Li Xuanfeng immediately retorted.
Ergou was speechless for a moment and could only shake his head and leave helplessly.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng puffing his beard and glaring, Shen Luoyan chuckled and said, "You are all over seventy years old, why are you still sulking like children?"
"Humph, he said I can do it, but he can't say it to you, madam!" Li Xuanfeng put on a serious face and explained in a harsh voice.
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, Shen Luoyan smiled even more, as if she was a flower blooming for him.
Li Siyan and Yu Xia saw this scene, and they couldn't help but sigh: "The relationship between our parents is so good, it hasn't changed in the past few decades."
As time passed, Shen Luoyan's health became worse and worse. In the end, she even needed Li Xuanfeng's support to walk, and she could only drink porridge for dinner.
Considering his father's old age, Li Siyan wanted to take on the task of taking care of his mother, but he flatly refused and insisted on taking care of his wife himself.
Shen Luoyan's gaze rarely left Li Xuanfeng, and the reluctance in her eyes became more and more intense, as if it was about to turn into substance.
One morning, Li Xuanfeng got up as usual and called his wife to get up, but she lay motionless in bed, not even her eyelids fluttering!
The expression on Li Xuanfeng's face instantly turned into fear. He immediately went to take Shen Luoyan's pulse. Only when he felt that her pulse was weak but still there did the fear disappear.
Li Xuanfeng called out softly while gently shaking Shen Luoyan's body. After a long time, her eyelids trembled and slightly opened, and she woke up.
"You scared me to death. I couldn't wake you up even if I called you." Li Xuanfeng finally relaxed when he saw his wife wake up, and complained softly.
After Shen Luoyan opened her eyes, she kept staring at Li Xuanfeng. Seeing how nervous he was, a smile appeared on her face and she comforted him softly.
On this day, Li Xuanfeng accompanied Shen Luoyan to sit in the yard to bask in the sun. Shen Luoyan looked up at the sky for a long time before turning to look at him. Then she leaned her head on his shoulder, her eyes filled with memories, and began to slowly tell the story.
"I had a very long dream last night. I dreamed that we were not ordinary people, but immortals."
"In my dream, I still liked you, but you were lukewarm towards me at first. In the end, you revealed your true feelings in a dangerous secret place and protected me regardless of the danger."
"Why are you so annoying? You're not even nice to me in my dreams." Shen Luoyan complained softly.
…
Shen Luoyan spoke for a long time, and Li Xuanfeng listened to her quietly without interrupting her or asking any questions.
But what Shen Luoyan didn't notice was that when she was telling this dream, the turbidity in Li Xuanfeng's eyes suddenly disappeared for a moment, and a deep light flashed by!
"If only we were immortals like in the dream, we could be together forever."
"Xuanfeng, I know I don't have much time left, but I really can't bear to leave you!" When saying the last sentence, tears kept falling from Shen Luoyan's eyes and her tone was full of reluctance.
"Let's make a promise that we can still be husband and wife in the next life, okay?" Shen Luoyan said in a crying voice.
"Don't worry, we will be husband and wife in the next life, the next life, and forever." Li Xuanfeng hugged her thin body and answered firmly.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, satisfaction appeared in Shen Luoyan's eyes, as if she believed that what he said would come true.
Shen Luoyan leaned on Li Xuanfeng, turned her head slightly, and stared at Li Xuanfeng's already old face with deep reluctance in her eyes, as if she wanted to carve his appearance into her soul!
After a while, Shen Luoyan's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally she closed her eyes weakly!
Li Xuanfeng felt her breathing becoming weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely. The tears in his eyes kept falling uncontrollably!
"Dad, Mom, come and have dinner." Behind the two of them, Li Siyan ran out of the house and shouted to them.
But when she saw that the two of them didn't move, she ran to them and was about to shout again, only to find that her mother had her eyes closed and tears were rolling down her father's eyes!
"Your mother is gone!" Li Xuanfeng said softly, with powerlessness and sadness in his tone.
"Mom!" Li Siyan's body trembled violently after hearing this. After a cry of grief, she immediately knelt on the ground, tears pouring out like a spring.
When Yu Xia heard Li Siyan's cry, he immediately put down the dishes he was setting out and ran out of the house. He saw his wife kneeling on the ground crying and instantly learned the bad news.
Ignoring the sadness of his daughter and son-in-law, Li Xuanfeng's tears suddenly stopped. He picked up Shen Luoyan, slowly walked into the room, and put her on the bed.
Li Xuanfeng stared at Shen Luoyan with her eyes closed in silence for a long time. This was one of her rare quiet moments, but he didn't want to see her like this!
After a long silence, Li Xuanfeng walked out of the room tremblingly and walked towards the door of his house.
"Dad, where are you going?" Li Siyan asked worriedly when she saw how distraught he looked.
"I'll go and relax by myself." Li Xuanfeng replied softly.
"I'll go with you." Li Siyan immediately followed and supported him. She was worried that her father would not be able to bear the death of her mother and would hurt his body.
Yu Xia also wanted to go and help, but Li Siyan asked him to stay at home to prepare for his mother's funeral.
Li Xuanfeng was supported by his daughter and walked all the way to the river. He stood by the river for a long time and finally sat on a big rock by the river.
This stone has been lying quietly on the river bank for countless years. When Li Xuanfeng was a child, he often took a nap behind the stone. The dream he had that year was when he was taking a nap here.
Seeing her father Li Xuanfeng staring at the river in a daze, Li Siyan was extremely worried. Her father's health was already not as good as before, and if it got worse because of her mother's death, she might lose the last of her elders!
"Dad, don't be too sad. You will always have your daughter to accompany you in the future." Li Siyan comforted him softly, trying to ease her father's sadness.
"Si Yan, your mother is gone, and I have nothing left to cherish in this world." Li Xuanfeng suddenly murmured, his eyes gleaming.
"Dad, you must accept my condolences. Your daughter can't bear to leave you!" Li Siyan was anxious when she heard her father's words, thinking that her father was upset!
Seeing his daughter's anxious look, a hint of doting appeared in Li Xuanfeng's eyes. He raised his skinny hand and gently stroked his daughter's hair, just like he treated his daughter when she was a child.
Li Siyan rested her head on her father's shoulder so that he could touch her more easily, hoping that this method would make her father give up the idea of committing suicide.
Li Xuanfeng stroked his daughter's head gently while looking at him tenderly, with reluctance in his eyes. Half an hour passed.
At this moment, Li Xuanfeng's turbid eyes suddenly burst out with countless deep rays of light, and his whole aura suddenly changed!
"Si Yan, I'm sorry!" Li Xuanfeng murmured, but there was no trace of weakness in his tone anymore, and an incomparably powerful aura rose from his body into the sky!
