Chapter 27: Past Life's Beloved (Revised)

  At this moment, vague memories of past life flooded his mind.

  Late at night, with only one dim light, she and he sat in a simple house, she proudly showed him the bird she had just carved.

  He said faintly: "This bird carving is not like it, the feathers are too heavy, the skeleton is wrong, come again, your craftsmanship is really lacking."

  She said with a hint of resentment: "A Yun, your requirements are really too strict, my hands are all carved and sore for three whole hours."

  "Sorry, it's my fault, I've already prepared a midnight snack for you, come and try some."

  "Wow, it's really delicious, Ah Yan's cooking skills are excellent, whoever marries you will be very happy."

  "Sumei, wandering around like this, don't you feel rootless and melancholic?"

  "It doesn't matter, as long as you're with me, every day is happy."

  "We are both drifters in this world; if I can settle down, I would like to marry you."

  "Really, you're willing to marry me?" She blushed.

  "Mmm, marry you, love you, for a lifetime." His voice was as gentle as a soft stream.

  With a "pop", a teardrop fell unexpectedly and landed in the rainwater, disappearing into ripples.

  Su Mo took a deep breath, slowly blinked his eyes, which still had tears in them, and slowly reached out to touch his cheek, not expecting that he would still be crying!

  The cold wind blows, and the branches in front of me tremble slightly. The outstanding young talents of those years have become flowers in the water, a reflection in the mirror.

  He once said that he would accompany her to the ends of the earth and every year would take her back to where they first met.

  He once said that with him around, the two of them would rely on each other, be inseparable, and when they have children, the two of them will not feel lonely anymore.

  Unfortunately, that man suddenly disappeared without a trace! There was no news or sound, and his whereabouts were unknown.

  Su Mo slowly pursed her lips, wiped away tears, and stretched out her hand as if to touch the bird. The bird immediately spread its wings and flew away quickly.

  Suddenly, the rainwater on the eaves fell down, dripping right onto her brow, but she didn't move at all. Su Mo's eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if seeing something extremely rare, while her eyes were wide open, her face deathly pale, and her fingertips trembling lightly!

  She saw a young man standing opposite her, wearing a white long shirt and a cyan brocade robe, with a crystal mask that only covered his eyes.

  His long hair was tied back, and although he wore a butterfly mask, his handsome features were still visible.

  He stood under the eaves of the house, holding a green paper umbrella in his hand, with a gentle and elegant demeanor, as if he had some immortal charm.

  The rain ripples, the water vapor is hazy, but everything around her seems silent and still.

  Unconsciously, suddenly looking back, that person is already in a place with dim lights.

  Su Mo couldn't help but stand up and take big strides towards his shadow.

  His long hair was tied back, a simple white robe, the sleeves fluttering elegantly in the wind, simple yet almost perfectly ethereal.

  That familiar figure from past life has been deeply engraved in my heart and soul.

  In the misty rain, among thousands of people, the figure under the blue paper umbrella stands out uniquely!

  He turned his face sideways, a faint smile on his lips, piercing her eyes and hurting her heart.

  But his lips always carried a faint smile, so gentle, so charming.

  They once respected each other like guests, like friends, like siblings, like master and apprentice. At some point, she had deeply fallen in love with him, and he had also confessed his feelings to her. However, this man suddenly and completely disappeared from her life one day, leaving no trace of himself in the vast sea of people.

  That period of time made her feel as if she had fallen from heaven into a dark and bottomless abyss.

  He has an otherworldly elegance, as elusive as a cloud, with talent and beauty that astonishes, yet he is also a thoroughly mysterious figure.

  Su Mo never thought that after rebirth, she would meet him so soon, leaving her unable to regain her composure for a long time, and acting solely on impulse.

  She chased after him, her feet moving non-stop, his figure was so vague and blurry, like a dream, as if it could be wiped away with just a wave of the sleeve.

  She chased him through five streets, in front of which were business stalls that were still bustling even on a rainy day. The green paper umbrella guided her as she walked straight into a market that ordinary people couldn't enter.

  Su Mo had just stepped forward when someone stretched out a hand to block him. "You can't go in here, only inner disciples of the various major sects are allowed."

  Su Mo naturally understood the rules and quickly took out a golden ticket with the internal seal of Jinyu Hall.

  "Let's go in." The two of them no longer blocked their way. After all, they couldn't afford to offend Jin Yutang and his people.

  At this moment, Su Mo was completely absorbed in his thoughts, single-mindedly wanting to catch up with that white figure.

  However, inside the street market, it was even more crowded with people coming and going, and the shops on both sides of the road were hanging colorful paper umbrellas, high and low, blocking the pedestrians' view. In the light rain, the colors were like ink splatters. Suddenly, a blue umbrella closed, and a snow-white figure flashed before her eyes, disappearing suddenly in the crowded market.

  Su Mo's heart tightened as he wanted to chase after him, but unfortunately, there were crowds surging left and right in front of him.

  Suddenly, someone from the side rear bumped into him sideways, Su Mo's figure became unstable, and he staggered.

  "Hey kid, have you grown eyes? You bumped into me!" A woman's scolding voice came from beside.

  "This is too much! How dare you block Senior Sister Xia's way!" The men beside him immediately shouted loudly.

  But Su Mo didn't pay any attention to the people around him and continued walking forward, looking in the direction where the white-clothed man had disappeared.

  This place is still bustling with people coming and going, everything that just happened seems like a fleeting dream, and in the blink of an eye, it's gone like clouds and fog.

  Her pale face was accompanied by a stunning and enchanting beauty, her eyelashes slightly lowered, and a pair of eyes shining with complex light.

  Slowly, slowly she calmed down, knowing that there was still a chance to meet him again, just like in her past life.

  At this moment, she is just a strange "young man" to him.

  But she must meet him again in this life's most beautiful years.

  The crowd around grew larger and the atmosphere gradually became more lively, with the glow of lanterns on both sides shining like flowing fire.

  Not far away, on the attic, a handsome man wore a snow-white fox fur coat, surrounded by what seemed to be ice and snow. He stood proudly there. His face was elegant and refined, with smooth skin like white jade, beautiful features, sword-like eyebrows, and an air of coldness and indifference in every gesture.

  A snow-white fox was lying on his shoulder, looking at the "young man" below with a sarcastic face.

  Wen Ren Yi swept his gaze over Su Mo, his sword-like eyebrows sparse and clear, his eyes like stars. He reached out to stroke the ice fox, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You say she looks very strange."

  The arctic fox let out a soft cry, shook its snow-white fur, stretched out its paws and then pointed at the crowd outside.

  Wen Renyi's voice was as gentle as a heavenly sound, and he only faintly said: "You're saying she encountered those inner sect disciples. I'm afraid there will be trouble today."

  The ice fox nodded, its two paws propped under its neck, its eyes shining brightly, yet still full of disdain.

  Wen Renyi's gaze towards Su Mo was deep and dark, with an unfathomable meaning.

  Every man for himself, every fox for its own tail, mind your own business and hang high.

  Su Mo continued searching the streets repeatedly, but accidentally bumped into a crowd of people in the crowded throng.

  But the woman who was in charge coldly swept her eyes, and the anger in her eyes grew stronger, loudly scolding: "It's you again, just now it was you who bumped into me, and now it's you again?"

  Her eyebrows slightly raised, she glanced around and saw that everyone below her were all inner disciples of the Mo School.

  "Xia Shijie, are you okay?" several young men asked with extremely flattering gazes.

  Nothing happened, just got bumped by that kid again, what an impolite child.

  Only a woman with the surname Xia was seen to be exceptionally beautiful, with a pair of charming eyes that seemed to hook one's soul on her pointed melon-seed-shaped face. Her eye movements were full of charm, although her eyes were very large and beautiful, unfortunately, her cheekbones were too high, making her facial features seem somewhat sharp. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly, she was wearing a fiery red hot dress that accentuated her curves, slender and elegant, revealing two snow-white long legs, causing the young men around her to become distracted.

  Someone beside him immediately shouted: "I think this young man just wanted to attract the attention of Xia Shizi, so he deliberately bumped into her. Who knew that with a slight bump, she would lose her soul and fall into a daze." After all, the other party had always been in a state of losing their soul and falling into a daze.

  Some people also looked at her with disdain: "Shi Xia is very famous in the Mo School, she has always been the most beautiful female disciple, every time she goes out, she will encounter these crazy bees and butterflies."

  Everyone nodded in agreement, casting unfriendly glances at Su Mo. It was clear that these young men shared the same opinion.

  Xia Shijie was obviously very proud of her own beauty, and after glancing at Su Mo, a deep sarcastic meaning flashed in her eyes.

  She didn't put Su Mo in her eyes at all, standing in front of her with a disgusted face, frowning and coldly facing her, her expression was gloomy, her tone was disdainful, and she glared at him and said: "Little kid, how long do you want to pretend? I've seen many people like you, are you going to give me something, invite me to dinner, and then try to curry favor with me, right?" Every man around her seemed to be approaching her in this way, trying to please her, which really annoyed her.

  At this moment, Su Mo was inexplicably accused by a woman. When she came to her senses, she finally noticed that the woman in front of her was an "acquaintance" from her previous life.
