Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes (Love You Seven Times)

Chapter 35

Edited by renderedreversed

The cheerful tunes of the river played in my ear. Chu Kong’s chest brought back memories of warmth; I went back to that day in Fengxuashan Manor, lying on bed with my one-and-only Shifu of that lifetime. Depending wholeheartedly on him, I wholeheartedly trusted and loved him. The other memories that I had no love for slowly disappeared.

I reached out and was about to wrap my arms around Chu Kong’s waist when a familiar figure came excitedly rushing down the road.

“Aiya, what am I seeing? Blindingly beautiful, oh! Two enemies hugging each other, ah!”

Like we had done something reckless, Chu Kong and I pushed each other away. We looked at one another with uncertainty.

Yanwang, who had just come back from Heaven, was wearing a complex robe. He touched his chin. His pair of bright eyes looked between me and Chu Kong. Yanwang came back to the Netherworld and saw me and Chu Kong, so his mood turned happy.

“Don’t be nervous. I didn’t come to be a third wheel. You two continue, ah. I just got excited when I saw you two hugging each other like your souls would merge together.”

“Who’s-who’s soul is merging with her!”

Chu Kong’s roar beat inside my ear drums.

“Xiaoye…xiaoye just got the cramps! It was just the cramps!”

I also roared, “Who wants to hug that thing there! I also just got the cramps!”

“I understand, I understand. I totally understand.”

Yanwang cheaply smiled as he nodded.

“Youngsters playing some push and pull is also good.”

This guy must’ve been real pleased, watching us play with our hearts like that.

I gave him face and didn’t expose him. After all, Chu Kong and I didn’t managed to live for twenty years in the mortal realm; we still needed to receive punishment from him…

I hadn’t finished that train of thought yet when Chu Kong suddenly pulled my shoulder. He stared at me seriously and asked, “Have you already kissed?”

I blinked and stayed quiet. Did…did this mean he cared about me? When I saw General Kong through the mirror, I sometimes couldn’t understand his thoughts. Now that I was faced with the surfaced feelings that had been hidden in the shadows all this time, I couldn’t help but feel shy.

While I was too busy being shy to answer, Yanwang stroked his chin and smiled. “We already kissed, yo.”

The hand on my shoulder tightened. Chu Kong’s face darkened. Yanwang continued to laugh. “Kissed fiercely.”

The hand pinching my shoulder tightened a little more. He gritted his teeth and said, “Couldn’t you wait for me…”

I…have been waiting for you. Of course, I couldn’t say that. So I only glared at Yanwang and coldly asked, “When exactly have I kissed you?”

Yanwang continued to laugh. “You missed this gentleman everyday in the Netherworld. Not seeing this gentleman, you became weak. Such feelings made you become thin. You’ve certainly become lighter. Am I wrong?”

轻(qīng): lighter. Losing weight. 亲(qīn): kiss. They sound the same. Yanwang is playing with them.

I raised an eyebrow. The hand on my shoulder loosened. I was silent for a while, and then I understood that he was playing with us. I clearly saw the veins on Chu Kong’s forehead pop.
