Chapter 419: A Secret in The Open


    She could not carry the burden of his trust. She wanted to tell him all her secrets everything buried


    deep down in her heart.


    "Do you believe in reincarnation?" Jiang Yao prodded.


    "No," Lu Xingzhi answered bluntly. "Life ends with death."


    Lu Xingzhi did not believe in anything of the sorts. There was nothing else other than life and death. A


    buried body would be dirt and leave nothing, not even a trail, behind.


    Jiang Yao thought maybe Lu Xingzhi would pretend to agree with her statement, just because she


    asked. His straightforward reply caught her off guard, leaving her speechless.


    "I told you I will never lie to you." Lu Xingzhi knew Jiang Yao was looking at him, and he knew that his


    answer was not to her expectation. Yet, this was his view, why did he have to lie?


    After her initial shock, Jiang Yaoughed in relief.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    That was right. This was Lu Xingzhi, who would never lie and tell stories just to make her happy. He


    said it himself that he was never good with words.


    "It feels like a dream, and yet, it isn''t. In this dream-like story, I lived to thirty years old, which ended


    abruptly. When I woke up, I was back to my younger self, the day you came to visit me during summer


    break. With the blink of an eye, I felt like I lived a life more than everyone else."


    Jiang Yao raised her eyes and looked at Lu Xingzhi. She only noticed the slight twitching of his eye; his


    expression was as stoic as ever.


    She continued, "I clearly remembered everything that happened and everyone that I met. I


    remembered the knowledge I learned in university and every single surgery I did after graduating. So, if


    I say that I was reborn, would you believe it?"


    She grasped onto his shirt tightly, slightly nervous and a little afraid, would he think that she had turned


    delusional?


    A whileter, Lu Xingzhi moved his lips, "Of course I would, why wouldn''t I?"


    Of course, he believed her.


    To say her change during the summer break was drastic was an understatement. She had always


    avoided him, but he returned home to her embrace, as she kept saying how much she missed him. It


    was a moment he would never forget. When he held her in his arms, it felt like he was at the top of the


    world.


    "Even without your rebirth, did our rtionship be better toward the end?" Lu Xingzhi asked. If it


    were not for this, why would she embrace him with such quickness and vigor the moment she woke


    up?


    It was unbelievable, her secret, yet it did not matter. She belonged to him and him only.


    "Why do you think so?" Jiang Yao asked. Unfortunately, things were different, she thought to herself.


    His love for her was one-sided, even till the day he died. It was his death that awakened the feelings


    she had been repressing for a long time.


    "Isn''t it so?" He was doubtful. With the way he treated Jiang Yao, it was only a matter of time before


    she fell in love with and epted him.


    "No." Jiang Yao moved her body away from Lu Xingzhi''s embrace. She looked at his expression, filled


    with doubt, and asked, "Did you not think that we would divorce some yearster?"
