This was the first time she saw him cry. Her eyes were wide with disbelief, she was so jealous that she felt she would go crazy. She reached out to shake his arm, but her hand crossed Li Chenmo’s body. After several attempts, she finally realized that she was like a soul unable to touch anything, an outsider in this world.
She looked at him with hatred and shouted, "Li Chenmo, why can’t you forget her even after she dies?! She is already dead! You just marry me, I’m your wife! Why don’t you even spare a glance to look at me?!"
When she shouted, she felt as if her heart had been dug out, with excruciating pain and an emptiness in her heart.
She asked with her voice filled with unwillingness and bitterness while clutching her chest, "Li Chenmo, look at me! I am the one who loves you the most, why can’t you love me just a little bit?! Why does it have to be her?!"
After her words fell, Li Chenmo raised his head, turned to look in her direction as if he could see her, and said, "Because the meaning of my existence is her. She is my soul. Without a soul, how can an empty body continue to live? The one you love is this empty shell, this meaningless identity, which is just a soulless puppet controlled by this world and not the real me."
Stretching out his hand, Li Chenmo gently touched the tombstone’s surface and said, "I, Yi Yan, as long as my soul exists, I will only love Lu Jueyu. Even if it takes me countless lifetimes to find her, I will not give up. I am willing to pay any price just to be with her. Even if the price is my soul."
As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. He wiped the blood from his pale lips and sat down next to the tombstone, leaning on it.
He looked at the blue sky and said with a hint of pleading and helplessness, "Yu Er, can you not leave me behind in the next life? Can you wait for me a little longer? Please let me see you, even just a glance, I will be satisfied. Yu Er, I miss you… I miss you very much."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes tiredly. A teardrop fell from the corner of his eye, as he whispered, "Yu Er, don’t be afraid. I will come to you now."
Su Anna, who was standing next to him, widened her eyes when she saw him take his last breath.
"No, you can’t die like this. You just married me, how can you leave me?! Li Chenmo, open your eyes!" she shouted, tears streaming from her eyes.
She reached out to hold his hand. However, before she could touch him, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
When she felt the suction pulling her out of the light, she vaguely heard the angry voice of a man, "Old man, how could you let these souls escape your world and ruin my daughter’s fate? You must return the things that belong to my daughter to her and compensate her!"
After a period of confusion, Su Anna slowly regained her senses and opened her heavy eyelids with difficulty. Looking at the familiar face in front of her, she asked, "Mother, what are you doing here?" freēwebnovel.com
