Fall in Love with Him Once More - C19
In the middle of the night, Yue Zijun blew the flute, waking up the sleeping Lu Haoran. Lu Haoran nervously grabbed onto his flute and said, “Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?”
“This cave entrance can only let in sounds from the outside, but the ones inside can’t get out.” Furthermore, the people who were searching for him had all given up long ago. How many could be as lucky as Lu Haoran and travelled to the end?
“I’m not afraid of ten thousand, but I’m afraid of one.” Lu Haoran was a bit more cautious, he didn’t want Yue Zijun to play the flute in the middle of the night. He was afraid of bringing about trouble that he shouldn’t have: “How did you play the flute in the middle of the night?”
Yue Zijun looked at him indifferently, and asked: “Hao Ran, do you have a family?”
Lu Haoran was startled, and shook his head.
“You’re still not married yet?”
“We were originally engaged, but now the bride ran away with someone …” If anyone else asked him about it, he would definitely not tell the truth, but he did not want to lie to Yue Zijun. Moreover, many people knew about this matter, so he did not believe that Yue Zijun had not heard of it.
“So the rumors were true?”
“Quite shameful …”
“She didn’t choose you because she was unlucky, but it’s her, isn’t it?”
Lu Haoran blushed slightly, and muttered: “I, I’m not that good.”
“In my opinion, very good.”
Lu Haoran’s face flushed red. He covered his mouth, wanting to smile, but felt embarrassed at the same time. He endured for a long time before asking, “Then … What about the son of a bitch? Have you ever been married? ”
“Yes.”
The two words were stabbed into Lu Haoran’s heart like a hammer. He didn’t know why, but it made his heart ache.
He was just asking casually and wanted to change the subject. Deep in his heart, he didn’t think that Yue Zijun would give such an answer. He had never seen Yue Zijun’s wife before, so he naturally thought that was just like him, unmarried.
Originally … Does he have a wife?
That’s right, he was older than her by a few years. How could a man close to his age not get married? Yue Zijun is so outstanding, the people who want to marry him must be in a line.
“Then… “Then when I get the chance next time, I must pay a visit to my wife.”
Yue Zijun’s expression was a little strange, he frowned: “Pay a visit to her? “No need.”
“Of course.”
“Then …” Yue Zijun lowered his head to think for a moment, then said: “When the time comes, just burn a stick of incense for her.”
“Incense …” Could it be …
“It’s been almost six years. The day after tomorrow is the day of Xiang Jun’s death.”
“Sister-in-law, she …”
“The ninth day of the tenth month of that year …”
Yue Zijun clearly remembered that the entire October sky of that year was not good, and at the beginning of the month, it had always been raining. Xiang Jun prepared food and waited for him to return, but the one waiting for him was his enemy. Yue Zijun promised that he would definitely rush back that day, but unexpectedly, the mountain road was blocked off and by the time he rushed back the next day, what he saw was Xiang Jun’s corpse.
He saw his wife lying on the bed like a broken rag doll. She was riddled with wounds, and she died with grievances. Until today, he would never be able to sleep in the rain. If he closed his eyes, he would be able to see his wife’s dying appearance.
He felt that Xiang Jun must have blamed him, resented why he didn’t go back earlier. He resented that he still went and provoked those unkind people, resented that he wasn’t able to protect her …
“For the past few years, I have been looking for my enemy. As long as I can avenge Xiang Jun, I am willing to do anything. Even if treachery is despised by the world. But today, my enemies back then were still free and unrestrained. I, Yue Zijun, have a glorious life, yet I am actually unable to behead my enemies.
“Son …”
“His backer is too big and too smart. Back then, I knew that he was someone I could not afford to offend. However, I was young and arrogant and thought that I could make a move on my head, only to end up like this. “Haoran, you have to remember that there are some things in this world that you can’t do as you please.”
Lu Haoran had never seen Yue Zijun with such a weak appearance. The desolation that filled his eyes was because he found Yue Zijun unusually poignant and beautiful, causing Lu Haoran’s heart to palpitate with pain.
“I will definitely get my revenge.” He believed that there would be retribution for evil, and that such a person would definitely suffer retribution for evil.
“I want to sweep up Xiang Jun’s grave …”
“Naturally.”
“Aren’t you afraid of being caught?”
“Ugh …”
Yue Zijun laughed desolately: “I won’t go and sweep the tomb, and I can’t go either. I didn’t have the face to see her until I killed her. I hadn’t had a chance to apologize in front of her grave for the past six years. I wonder if I can still kowtow in front of her grave and pray for her forgiveness in this lifetime. ”
“She will forgive you, she will.”
“Will not… will not… Not going to… She advised me to not provoke those people, but I was stubborn enough to bear the consequences, and she never forgave me until she died! ”
Seeing that Yue Zijun’s emotions were getting more and more agitated, Lu Haoran hurried forward to press him down and comfort him. “It’s okay, it’s okay, she’ll forgive you.
“Haoran.” “Haoran!” “Haoran …”
“I’m here, I’m here. It’s okay, I’m here.”
“Will she really forgive me?”
“Yes, I will forgive you.”
“But …” I can’t forgive myself… “There’s no other way …” The person he truly hated was actually himself. He hated himself for being incapable, very ignorant, and very powerless …
From beginning to end, he had never been able to forgive himself.
He was afraid that there would be someone else who would be implicated because of him. He was afraid that he would be faced with the corpse of the person he loved once again. He was afraid that he would experience that heart-piercing pain and helplessness again.
At this moment, his desire to protect Lu Haoran was more urgent than ever.

Maybe it was because the day of Xiang Jun’s death had arrived, and it had been raining non-stop these past few days, Yue Zijun’s mood was extremely unstable.
Such a weak and pitiful person, it couldn’t help but cause ripples in Lu Haoran’s heart.
This kind of Yue Zijun aroused his masculinity, he was actually so impulsive that he wanted to protect Yue Zijun for his entire life.
Only, Yue Zijun did not give him the chance to do so. As soon as he let go of the sky, those few days of weakness disappeared without a trace like a reflection in the water, as if it was just Lu Haoran’s delusion.
“It’s time for us to exit the cave.” Yue Zijun said.
“Huh?” Lu Haoran who had already gotten used to his current life was stunned and asked: “Safe? Is it okay to go out now? ”
“Seventh Prince has already returned to his residence.”
Seventh Prince? What does it have to do with the Seventh Prince?
“Isn’t it fine here?” Didn’t you say that the Seventh Prince has nothing to do with the matters of the martial arts world? ”
“Yeah, he’s far away in Liaoqi so he naturally can’t be bothered about things that are within his control. Now that he’s back from his visit, he naturally can be bothered about things that are beyond his control.”
“After being stuck in the cave for so long, don’t you find it boring?” “He’s not a mouse, can he live in a cave and be addicted to it?” I still miss Tian Xin Building and my jasmine flowers more, I wonder if Quan Er has put his heart into it yet. ”
Lu Haoran sighed as he felt a sense of loss in his heart. On the surface, he said, “I’ve been away from home for a few days, it’s time to go back and take a look.”
“That’s true. If you don’t deliver your letter home in a few days, I’m afraid that my family will be worried.”
That’s right! How many months had it been? Although it was normal for him to send a letter home every two to three months, his family had been very concerned about his whereabouts ever since he was injured. I’m afraid that by now, it will be a huge mess at his home, let alone for so long …
In the end, being unable to communicate here was just one of them, but the most fundamental thing was that Lu Haoran had completely forgotten to send a letter home to report his safety. Time flew by when they were together with Yue Zijun. It had been a long time since they last saw each other.
Furthermore … It was inconvenient for him to let others know that Yue Zijun was with him.
“I need to return to the Tian Xin Building first. It would be best if you go home and take a look as well.”
“No need, I’ll accompany you back to the Tian Xin Building. At that time, just get someone to send a letter home for me.” Only he knew how he got out. If he went back quickly, he was afraid he would be locked up at home again.
Yue Zijun thought about it, but in his heart, he was also reluctant to let him leave so quickly, so he nodded and agreed.
After a simple cleaning up, the two of them set out on their journey towards Tian Xin Building.
