Song Lan POV
This is my 5th life so far, yeah 5th. And I've been living the same plot throughout my 5 lifetimes. Am I a cat? No, I am not, I just want to be reborn again and again on the same timeline just for one reason. To save him.
Ain't it funny? In kindness there's evil and in evil there's kindness, then there're cases where it's pure kindness, repaid with pure evilness. This is the reason why I want to save him, because that person doesn't deserve him at all. He's so kind to him, but how does he repay him? By thinking about killing him?
I am an outsider in their story, but as an onlooker, and a righteous cultivator, I cannot tolerate this kind of behavior, especially from my sworn brother.
At my second life, I wanted myself to believe that it's because I want to solve the injustice in this world and prevent tainting my fame, however, throughout the lives I went through, then I realized that it wasn't because of just justice, there's more to it. Something unexplainable in my current situation. But I believe that answers will come find me. No time to waste, I must save him at all costs. Xiao Xingchen, wait for me.
Through out the lives I've lived, there's this plot in the story that has no escape, whichever route you take, you end up here and only here, it's the only choice. And this plot, requires them meeting. Since I can't prevent them to meet, let me change the circumstances, let's add a bit of change into these plot.
I sacrificed a lot just for this, but I am glad it turned right, now they'll meet in different situations. Let's take this a gamble, however due to my sacrifice, I may not be able to be reborn again, I'm not a phoenix after all. But I just can't let destiny have it's way and ruin my precious gem. He's the diamond in between rocks, he's just. Special.
Third Person POV
Song Lan falls into a slumber, he lost too much cultivation just by his two eyes being gouged out. And the transfusion and unlocking of meridians was too much for his body to handle.
Aimlessly with his sword, he travels East, his Frost guides the way, but unknowingly, he passes a road that bandits often attacks. Unlucky Stardust, today is the 15th of the month, the bandits will come to extort money for meat and wine. From the distance, he can hear the grass moving. He immediately attacked since he couldn't even see his enemy.
It is the first time he'd be fighting without seeing the enemy or the target, as a result he got easily defeated by commoners. After searching his body and taking his money bag, the bandits beat him up and threw him downhill.
Coincidence or not, a man just passed by and saw the dried blood on the grass, he followed the trail of blood and found a living person, blind and injured, he took pity on him and took him in.
For 3 days and 3 nights, the person didn't wake up, and the man who picked him is anxious, he cannot let him die, or else, he'll lose the trust of the people at the village, that's what he thought, however, a blind woman taking a stick to guide her way entered the house of the man.
"I. I will pay you any price, please cure my eyes." The woman said, she looks about 16 to 19, so she's a teenager. The man smiled, "Stop pretending, you're not blind." He then laughed. "Brother Cheng, please I'm begging you, turn my eyes back to how they were. With these grey empty eyes, nobody won't want to marry me." The lady bawled. "You're A'Qing right? Daughter of the woman living 2 blocks from here?" The lady nodded with tears on the sides of her eyes. "I'll help you, but you need to help me pick medicine everyday for 3 months."
The blind lady's face lightened, "Thank you very much Cheng Mei gege, I'd definitely help you even if it's for the rest of my life!" She bragged but Cheng Mei just laughed it off, "How will you find a husband if you keep sticking with me?"
--------3 months later-------------
Cheng Mei and the man he saved months ago are sitting outside removing husk from rice grains. They were having a heart to heart talk, and they didn't even notice that someone was observing them from a distance. Cheng Mei then suddenly gave the man flowers he picked from the hill. The couple was so sweet that he couldn't bear the sight any more, Zichen left.
After all his sacrifice, he finally did it. He saved him, his superhero, his childhood bestfriend on the slums. Xue Cheng Mei.
Song Lan POV
But why does it hurt so much? All I did in the past 4 lives, was just for this ending? All my sacrifice was for this? If I knew, I wouldn't have..
Remembering the times in those 4 lives where Xue Cheng Mei met an injured Xiao Xingchen and tried to help him since he had medical skills, however Xingchen only thought about killing him, that way he will bring glory to his master, Baoshan Sanren.
However, I didn't expect, of all plots that could've had occured. Must Yang gege really fall in love with the man who killed him 4 times? Why can't it be me? I'm the one who spent a lot of time and effort, but you can't see it. Because you don't remember anything at all, Yang gege...
Third Person POV
Xiao Xingchen on the other hand knows that this man, the man who took care of him for months and gives him flowers almost everyday is his greatest nemesis, Xue Yang, however, he began to feel drawn into his charms even without seeing him, in the past he was so annoyed whenever he saw his face, especially when Zichen was happy with him. Yeah, he liked Song Zichen, however blinded by the evil Xue Yang, he doesn't give me attention snd doesn't even heed my advice. But would this really be the ending? Me falling in love with my love nemesis?
If Zichen knew, what would he think? Would he hate me? But that feeling doesn't scare me a bit, the feeling that surges in my nerves when A'Qing is too close to Xue Yang, I can feel it, I can feel strange emotions even I cannot explain.
Is this love?
