Chapter 900: It’s You And Me
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were lucky because old man Sun was a local. They didn’t even run into anyone who came up to question them.
The old fisherman wanted to invite Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng to their home for a meal before leaving. Su Wan was grateful for his kindness, but she declined the offer.
Instead, she took Jiang Xuecheng to a small local hotel.
The money used to pay for their accommodation was given to them by the old fisherman before he left.
It was not much, only less than 200 galactic coins, but to Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, it was definitely life-saving money.
Because they fell off the cliff and swam in the sea for a while, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were now penniless. Su Wan could not refuse.
Perhaps they would not see each other again, so Su Wan could only ask the old fisherman for his contact details. She planned to wait until she and Jiang Xuecheng were completely out of danger and find a chance to repay them in the future.
There were still good people in this world.
Su Wan had been here for so long, and it was rare for her to feel a trace of kindness from a stranger. Moreover, she always felt that this old man was a bit like her grandfather, Xie Changfeng.
Speaking of which, she did not know how Xie Changfeng was doing. Ever since her grandmother pa.s.sed away, Su Wan was really afraid that he would be too lonely.
Su Wan increasingly hoped that she and Jiang Xuecheng would be able to clear up this mess as soon as possible and get rid of the CHK Virus No.3 in their bodies. Then, they would return to their previous world.
She missed her grandfather, Lin Fei’er, and everything on Earth.
…
In a small inn with an extremely simple environment, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng sat together and leaned against each other.
Thinking back to all the things that had happened in the past, Su Wan felt a little sad.
Jiang Xuecheng reached out his hand and caressed Su Wan’s face, asking softly.
“Wan Wan, what’s wrong?”
Su Wan turned her head and looked at the man in front of her.
The paint on Jiang Xuecheng’s face had been washed clean. His pair of deep phoenix-like eyes were like the sea that hid rocks, making it hard for people to guess.
Su Wan looked at him deeply and suddenly remembered the moment she was. .h.i.t by the mudslide.
In such a short period of time, she suddenly thought of many things.
She did not want to carry those things alone anymore. Jiang Xuecheng was an extremely intelligent man, and he was also her husband. If she said it out loud, there was a higher chance that Jiang Xuecheng would believe her.
When she had fallen from the car, Su Wan had already understood that in Jiang Xuecheng’s heart, her life might be more important than his life.
She had to have faith in their relations.h.i.+p.
Su Wan’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She tugged at the corner of her clothes, and her pale lips quivered.
“I have hidden something from you for a period of time. Now, I want to have a proper talk with you. I promise that everything I say is true. Are you willing to believe me?”
It was rare for Jiang Xuecheng to see Su Wan so serious. He frowned and suddenly felt a little fl.u.s.tered.
An indescribable fl.u.s.ter.
In fact, over the past few days, he had a vague feeling that Su Wan wanted to say something to him.
He had even guessed what Su Wan wanted to say.
Those topsy-turvy dreams kept pestering him. Jiang Xuecheng almost suspected that he had met Su Wan a long time ago.
In the dream, he had a completely different ident.i.ty. He had parents, even brothers, and… a wife.
That was Su Wan.
…
Seeing the frown on Jiang Xuecheng’s face, Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat. She mistakenly thought that Jiang Xuecheng did not want to believe her.
“You don’t want to?”
Jiang Xuecheng suddenly shook his head.
“It’s not that I don’t want to. Wan Wan, I promise that I won’t doubt you again in the future. Go ahead, I’ll listen.”
In fact, Jiang Xuecheng was also extremely nervous.
He knew that he had done a lot of things wrong, yet he still treated Su Wan and that child so cruelly…
Even if he didn’t kill it personally, he was the one who agreed to it.
That was a sin.
He couldn’t forget it. Perhaps he was destined to bear the sin of a lifetime.
When she heard Jiang Xuecheng say this, Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
She reached out to hold Jiang Xuecheng’s hand, trying to gain some courage through him.
Those things, one by one, were no longer completely beautiful. They might even bring a lot of pain to her and Jiang Xuecheng.
But she had to face it.
Su Wan held Jiang Xuecheng’s hand. She thought that this man’s palm should have a warm and mellow temperature, but Su Wan found that Jiang Xuecheng’s palm was also feeling cold.
Su Wan suddenly realized that she was not the only one who was afraid.
“Then I’m going to start. You should be mentally prepared.”
Su Wan took a deep breath again. She told him about her background and the first time she met Jiang Xuecheng.
“When that girl returned to the country, she met a man. At that time, that man was being hunted down, and she saved him. The two of them…”
As she recalled the past, Su Wan could not help but smile.
Although the meeting between her and Jiang Xuecheng was not pleasant at all, it was precisely because of that unpleasant experience that the two of them were suddenly so involved in their relations.h.i.+p.
It was as if two tangled threads could not be avoided no matter how hard they tried.
This was probably fate.
Su Wan talked about their hasty marriage registration, their relatives, their friends, and all sorts of good and bad things.
When Su Wan’s mouth was dry from talking, a cup suddenly appeared in front of her. It was filled with clear water.
“Drink some water first. Your throat is going to go hoa.r.s.e.”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. Only now did she realize that Jiang Xuecheng was much calmer than she had imagined.
She had rambled on about so many things, but Jiang Xuecheng had always been extremely quiet as the audience.
He had never questioned any of the things she had said, nor had he asked for specific details, nor had he asked who the male and female protagonists were.
This man was really too calm.
He even had the time to pour himself a gla.s.s of water.
Su Wan finished the gla.s.s of water in one gulp. Her throat, which had been dry from talking, was now moist with water droplets. At last, she felt much better.
Su Wan frowned slightly. Seeing how calm and composed Jiang Xuecheng was, she did not know if she should continue.
Would Jiang Xuecheng be completely absent-minded and treat the male and female protagonists in her story as if they were a story?
Su Wan looked at him seriously.
“Xuecheng, aren’t you curious about who the male and female protagonists in the story are? Why do I know so much about them?”
Xuecheng looked at Su Wan indifferently, and the corner of his lips suddenly curved.
“Are you trying to say that it’s you and me?”
The things that Su Wan had said earlier seemed to corroborate the scenes in the dream. However, the scenes in the dream were sometimes fragments because Su Wan’s narration was now coherent.
Su Wan was shocked when she heard that. She had never expected that Xuecheng would say that.
She widened her eyes in shock and almost stuttered.
“You, you already knew?”
