Chapter 2208: Lu Meng (20)
"Brother Xi, if you really have something you’re hiding from me and you’re not telling me, I’m telling you, this is definitely a very serious matter, okay? Do you want to think it over clearly?" Finally, Jiaojiao brought her little face closer to Duan Xi, wanting him to see the seriousness in her eyes. She was actually just trying to trick him.
But unexpectedly, she really succeeded in tricking him.
Duan Xi stood up and pulled her up as well: "Let’s go to the room."
There really was something he was hiding from her, huh?
Jiaojiao immediately put down the partially eaten fragrant pear and followed Duan Xi upstairs.
In the room.
Listening to Duan Xi, Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in shock, unable to process the situation for a long time.
How is that possible?
After a while, she muttered to herself: "I burned those Buddha beads, how could he have grasped them at birth? That’s just too incredible."
"It’s not impossible, Shen Ting was reborn too." He reversed the world, and uncontrollable factors increased, Shu Wen was one, Shen Ting counted as another, and now Lu Meng as well.
To some extent, these uncontrollable factors were also following some paths from the previous life, such as Shu Wen’s infertility. Lu Meng and Shen Ting both carried memories of their past lives, and Lu Meng ended up with a permanent physical defect caused by Jiaojiao in this life.
His ability to fix this defect now is probably related to a deal with Lu Xian.
"..." Jiaojiao.
"That’s why I feel so uncomfortable every time I meet him, because I once..." Thinking of the manipulation that the old Mrs. Yuan had done on her, Jiaojiao still felt disgusted now as she brought it up.
Duan Xi nodded.
Jiaojiao was still shocked, so much so that she felt a bit detached throughout the entire day. Especially in the evening when she went out for a walk and saw Lu Meng approaching, she felt a bit odd.
"Aunt Jiaojiao." Seeing Jiaojiao, Lu Meng’s first reaction was to run up to her, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at her.
Jiaojiao glanced at him, then at Lu Xian, feeling a bit awkward because she couldn’t remember past events. She couldn’t say anything, so she just waved her hand, then avoided them with Rou Rou and Xiaoxue.
Lu Meng watched her distant figure with some disappointment.
He thought she would treat him differently after learning about his identity, given that his heart was on her, in a sense, they were inseparable as one.
But he didn’t expect Jiaojiao to be less enthusiastic about him than before.
Lu Xian comfortingly ruffled his little head: "She’s wary of me."
After saying that, Lu Xian couldn’t help but chuckle. In his view, Duan Xi was ultimately selfish and had not divulged his dealings. Thinking of this, Lu Xian felt a bit happier. Just half a month left, only another half month, and he would embrace his own era, finding her earlier than anyone else!
Indeed, Jiaojiao didn’t quite know how to treat Lu Meng; it was an indescribable feeling. However, fortunately, she and Lu Meng didn’t have much interaction, as her studies kept her busy starting December, leaving no time for these concerns.
And Lu Xian was busy too, busy arranging Lu Meng’s future life, and trying to arrange his own end, until mid-December, when he meticulously planned his departure from this world.
The day he left was a Wednesday, a rare good weather day, also the day Jiaojiao had the most course work.
