Chapter 571 Taiji Returns
“Brother Taiji, in our past life we only wanted to make money, and then, within our means, help those in need.”
Now, we don't need to work desperately to accumulate wealth, so we should broaden our horizons and expand our perspectives to benefit more people.
"Okay! I'll listen to you. Just do what you think is right, and I'll protect you."
Taiji felt that he could now provide shelter for Huayan.
"Hehe! Thank you, brother. I probably have a lot to do and can't tell you right now. You won't mind, will you?"
Hua Yan knew that Taiji had many questions, but he never asked her for confirmation, firstly to respect her privacy, and secondly because he felt that the time might not be right.
"It's not my fault. As long as you're by my side, that's enough. I don't need to know anything. I just need to know that you care about me."
Taiji had no extravagant desires. His only wish in both his lives was to be with Huayan forever, in life and in death. That was enough for him. He wasn't curious about Huayan's secrets; he was worried about her safety.
"Hehe! You're the only one in my heart, no one else. No one but you can enter the depths of my heart."
If it weren't for you in my past life, I might have lived a lonely and miserable life. I would never have known what it means to have eyes full of love, what it means to have your whole heart and soul, what it means to be willing to live for you, and even more willing to die for you.
In this life, I will be alright, and I will not abandon you like I did in the past life.
Hua Yan linked arms with Taiji, leaned on his shoulder, and gazed at the stars that were still faintly visible in the night sky.
"Yan'er, do you think even the heavens were moved by our story, which is why we were able to meet again?"
Taiji rested his head on Huayan's head, gazing into the distance as if looking at his past self.
"I believe you moved God to give up your comfortable life and be willing to die for the love in your heart."
Hua Yan couldn't see the other scenes after her death in her previous life, but when she saw Taiji's resolute expression at the funeral home, she knew how much her sudden passing had affected him.
"Yan'er, do you know? Death isn't scary. What's scary is losing the will to live in this world."
You know what? A while ago, I remembered how I managed to stay awake until I finished arranging your funeral after you passed away, and then left without any regrets.
Seeing myself back then felt like a relief; finally, there was a possibility of meeting you again. However, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up with you, or find you again. For that, I felt a little annoyed!
However, considering your lifelong love of cleanliness, I couldn't let you leave looking so sloppy, so I came a few days later.
Haha! That day at the funeral home, I felt your soul was nearby, and I even talked to you a lot. I don't know if you heard me.
Actually, I just wanted to tell you not to rush off; I'll be there soon.
Taiji had a serene smile on his face, as if he were watching a movie scene that made him feel happy, a scene featuring him and Huayan.
"I heard that. I didn't expect you to go. According to folk custom, you're not allowed to see me off. I was quite surprised to see you."
I heard everything you said, and I wanted to advise you to think more positively, but I knew you couldn't hear me, so I gave up.
Actually, I just want you to live a happy life. After all, on this journey of life, everyone who walks with you can only accompany you for a period of time. This is true for parents, spouses, and even children; no one can be with you from birth to the end.
Hua Yan gently stroked Taiji's hand. Although she was telling the truth, she was still quite moved when she heard that Taiji wanted to follow her.
If someone in your life is willing to risk their life to be with you, it means you've lived a very successful life.
"That's what they say, and I understand the logic, but the moment I lost you, I felt like my world suddenly went dark, I couldn't see any light, and I had no courage to live."
Yan'er, it was at that moment that I truly realized that you held a more important place in my heart than I had ever imagined.
Taiji reminisced about the past, as if he were telling someone else's story.
"Brother! Promise me that if anything happens to me again in this life, you must live well. At least every year during Qingming Festival or Ghost Festival, I will know that there are still people thinking of me."
Although Hua Yan's strength has reached the point where she has not yet encountered an opponent, there are always people stronger than her, and there is always something beyond her reach. Who knows when she might encounter a formidable opponent, and she might just be finished.
Good fortune can't come every time in this life! So she hopes that Taeji can enjoy life to the fullest.
"Yan'er, if you want me to live a few more years, then protect yourself. Whether in the past life or this life, without you, the outcome will not be different."
Even if I don't have good luck in this life, I'll still take a gamble, because I don't want you to be all alone.
Hehe! Actually, it's just that I don't want to be all alone.
Taiji's eyes were full of tenderness, as if he wasn't talking about life and death, but rather about his longing for a better life.
Hua Yan didn't say anything more. She took Taiji's hand and kissed it, as if marking it to avoid getting separated in the future.
I don't know how long I sat there, but no one came to disturb me. Even though school was on holiday, there shouldn't have been no one here.
Taiji hadn't even noticed the problem; his entire focus was on Huayan.
Hehe! Hua Yan set up a barrier because she was afraid that outsiders would hear their conversation and cause trouble.
They came to the school today because they hadn't had a chance to explore the entire campus, which was a bit of a regret. Now that they had time, they could finally take a good look around. But instead of exploring much, they just sat by the lake and started chatting.
Hmph! There really are people looking for Hua Yan, but they can't find her anywhere, and they can't get through on the phone.
It was none other than Fuwang. For the past two years, he and Fulin had been chasing after Huayan, but they were always just one step behind. Now, even after chasing Huayan out of the school, they still hadn't caught up.
Fuwang heard from his classmates that he saw Huayan at school today, so he looked everywhere for her, but he couldn't find her anywhere.
Hua Yan graduated two years ago and has hardly ever returned. When she graduated, the school wanted to send her abroad to study on a government scholarship, but she politely declined. If it weren't for the principal and her advisor insisting that she pursue a master's and doctoral degree, she really wouldn't have been interested.
However, it wasn't without its gains; she met a group of very capable classmates, which expanded her network for her future business empire.
Fu Lin and Fu Wang are about to graduate, and Grandpa Fu wants them to take the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exam, hoping they will follow in his footsteps. Grandpa Fu has always been a role model for Fu Lin and Fu Wang, and they also want to follow in his footsteps and contribute to the country in the diplomatic service.
However, after learning about Hua Yan's numerous businesses, Fu Wang became less inclined to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He wanted to follow in Hua Yan's footsteps and do something as well, perhaps one day in the future he and this "Sister Jiu'er" could become business partners.
He came today to discuss this matter with Hua Yan, but he couldn't find the girl anywhere.
Everyone wanted to discuss things with Hua Yan and hoped she could give them some advice. Ye Zhuang and Men Sheng sought Hua Yan's opinion before choosing their career paths.
Ye Zhuang joined the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce last year, and Men Sheng went to the Investment Management Department of the National Development and Reform Commission. Perhaps they both had Hua Yan in mind and wanted to help her within their own capabilities.
Haha! At present, Hua Yan doesn't need their help because she knows about the country's development process, but she might need their help in the future.
Fuwang, having searched the entire campus, left dejectedly.
Hua Yan sensed Fu Wang's approach, but she didn't want to greet him; she just wanted to spend some time quietly with Tai Ji.
