Chapter 433: Xianyue Extra (39)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Xianyue took much effort to dodge the nurse and went into Shen Ying’s room.
Shen Ying had gotten skinnier. His eyes were closed and he was sleeping soundly.
Shen Xianyue took the chance when no one was around to sneak into the ward. She looked at Shen Ying carefully as if this was the only way to make sure that he was alive.
“I’m sorry.”
Shen Xianyue’s tears fell. “I could only save you. I couldn’t save Mother and Father.”
She only had 50 years of life. She could only give it to one person.
Shen Xianyue didn’t dare to stay for too long. She wiped off her tears and left the ward quickly.
That person said that she could not stay with a human for too long…
Shen Ying’s body recovered very quickly. On the other hand, Shen Xianyue’s body was weaker and she recovered slower than Shen Ying.
Shen Ying didn’t come to see her. When they went back, Shen Ying was busy organizing their parents’ funeral and didn’t have the time to bother with her.
Shen Xianyue didn’t dare to get near him, either. She was afraid of seeing Shen Ying. She was afraid of how he would look at her.
When she was first adopted into the Shen family, someone said that she was an unlucky person and she would bring misfortune upon them.
Shen Ying knew it now…
She was an unlucky person.
On the day of the funeral, she followed the procession and was glared at by people from the Shen family. Hatred… disdain… all kinds of eyes tried to pierce through her.
Shen Xianyue felt very miserable in her heart, but she could only bear with it by herself.
“It’s her…”
“She harmed her parents and now, she came to harm our Shen family. I wonder what our second uncle was thinking when they adopted her.”
“She still has the face to come to the funeral. Why did she not die? Why did our second uncle and aunt die?”
Shen Xianyue pretended that she didn’t hear all this and placed the flower in front of Mother Su and Father Su’s tombstone.
Father, Mother.
Brother will be fine. He will live for very long… very long.
Shen Xianyue looked down and retreated to the side. She raised her head, met Shen Ying’s gaze, and shivered. She turned around and left.
…
After the funeral, Shen Xianyue started her term as the local spirit guide.
Since she was a newbie, the past spirit guide would take her around for one month. He was a very good-looking man. When Shen Xianyue appeared, he was surprised. He must have been shocked that it would be such a little girl.
“h.e.l.l is so heartless now. They even hired such a small child.”
Shen Xianyue didn’t say anything.
The man could only take the initiative and asked, “What is your name?”
Shen Xianyue replied indifferently, “Shen Xianyue.”
“Heh, don’t always keep a long face.” The man touched her head. “Give me a smile.”
Shen Xianyue was frightened when she was touched on the head by this male stranger. She stepped back really far. “You… don’t touch me.”
“Haha…” The man looked even better when he smiled. “So cute. Okay, I shall not tease you anymore. Let us go complete your newbie mission.”
The man would always tease her, but Shen Xianyue just got quieter. In the morning, she would go to school and attend lessons. At night, she would follow the man to practice.
One month pa.s.sed quickly.
“Today is our last day. All the best from now on.” The man folded a paper crane on the spot and gave it to her. “I wish you luck.”
“Thank you.”
“Hahaha, you don’t need to be so tired from now on. Oh right, there are actually two spirit guides in our area. However, don’t bother provoking the other spirit guide. He doesn’t do much work at all. You will need to work a bit harder. If you see him, just pretend that you didn’t… Well, there is not much chance of meeting him anyway.”
Shen Xianyue remembered the things the man told her.
That night, the man sent her home. When he saw her villa, he even teased her for a while. In the end, he hugged her. “A spirit guide is lonely. All the best, little girl.”
As a senior, he told her that for the next ten years, she would be very lonely.
Shen Xianyue watched as the man disappeared into the darkness. She turned around and b.u.mped into Shen Xianyue.
“What was that?” Shen Ying’s voice was cold.
There were white lanterns hanging outside the Shen family’s villa. Shen Ying stood at the door. She didn’t know how long he had been standing there.
“Brother, I will move out tomorrow.” Shen Xianyue looked at him calmly.
Shen Ying sneered and turned to go back into the villa.
The next day, Shen Xianyue moved out.
The villa was left for her by her parents. That year, her relatives wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the villa. It was Mother Shen and Father Shen who helped her keep the villa.
Shen Xianyue and Shen Ying’s relationship became odd. They never mentioned anything about their parents’ death, but they both knew that it was a thorn in their hearts which could never be removed.
Shen Xianyue could only let herself get familiarized with the job of a spirit guide. She let herself stay busy during daytime and nighttime.
Shen Xianyue met the man again after that. However, he seemed to have forgotten her. There was a woman beside him and the woman’s stomach was bulging slightly. The two of them walked past her while holding hands. They looked really happy.
Shen Xianyue took out the nicely kept paper crane.
All the best, Shen Xianyue.
…
That night, she didn’t know that she would meet an evil ghost. The man only taught her how to do her job as a spirit guide, but didn’t teach her what she should do when she met an evil ghost.
Although a Taoist master that was pa.s.sing by helped her, she was still injured.
Shen Xianyue returned to the villa and lay on her sofa. She had no energy left.
“Shen Xianyue?”
“Shen Xianyue?”
Someone called her. She could faintly make out Shen Ying’s face.
“Brother…”
“Let me send you to the hospital. Don’t be scared.” Shen Ying’s voice overlapped with the voice that comforted her under the ruins.
“I will not… go to the hospital.” Shen Xianyue grabbed him tightly and stubbornly. She could not go to the hospital.
“You’re sick.”
“I’ll be fine after sleeping.”
Shen Ying couldn’t convince her and carried her to her room upstairs.
Shen Xianyue couldn’t remember what happened that night. She was slightly unconscious. When she woke up the next day, Shen Xianyue was standing in her living room and ordering people around to move the pieces of furniture.
Shen Ying saw that she woke up and said coldly, “There are too many people in the Shen family villa. So irritating. I will stay here for a while.”
Shen Xianyue wanted to reject him, but Shen Ying didn’t give her any chance. He moved in forcefully.
After that, he would always scold her weirdly whenever she came home late or brought other people home. Then, he would walk away angrily. The next day, he would continue to stay at the house as though nothing had happened.
Shen Xianyue would hide from him if she could and if she couldn’t, she would be indifferent toward him.
This was because she knew that she only had ten years to live. When she died, he would still be able to live for a long time…
Ten years later, she finished her term. She earned a rewardr and could become a human again. However, he already had someone beside him.
Without any warning.
The person she protected for ten years was going to leave her now.
Shen Xianyue lost all her energy and squatted on the floor, crying. “Shen Ying, I really really like you.”
“I know.”
Shen Xianyue’s body froze. She hid her head between her knees and listened to the footsteps coming nearer.
Shen Ying pulled her up. “Do you know how scared I was when I saw you lying in your villa without making any sound?”
“Shen Xianyue, I don’t have many years to wait for you.”
“Shen Xianyue, I will marry you.”
The string in Shen Xianyue’s heart broke. She grabbed Shen Ying’s shirt and cried like a child.
I am willing to exchange ten years of my life for a lifetime of peacefulness for you. — Shen Xianyue.
