Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 106 - In Another Life (3)

"She died? Just like that?" She asked after a long silence between them.

"Not really. She gave birth to a boy, but the boy had died before he reached his second summer." Lu Qingfeng answered. "She loved her son deeply, and her husband was never by her side, so when he died, it only plunged her further into depression."

"I see, but why would she be holding a stalk of canola flower in her hand though? Was it her favorite?" She asked. Su Xiaofei felt like there was more to the story about the girl's death.

"According to the story, the canola flower is a local flower that could be found in the countryside where they grew up. I supposed the author wanted to remind the readers of the bond between the two poor souls." Lu Qingfeng tried to reason out.

Due to the slightly warm climate in the countryside where he grew up with Su Xiaofei, canola flowers were in bloom earlier than other areas in the country. When the spring breeze blows, fields of canola flowers look like golden waves of a flower ocean, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The flowering season of canola flowers was around July. During that time, one could see a wide range of golden canola flowers blooming against the backdrop of the azure blue sky and white clouds, displaying a more fascinating picture with snow mountains behind them.

As the fields were more inclined to the river, one could see from the river banks the ocean of canola flowers, which was endless and boundless. Other than the large planting scale, the golden color of canola flowers was extremely gorgeous on the plateau.

He and Su Xiaofei spent a lot of time at the field of canola flowers, and they shared so many memories. Watching her die alone without anyone beside her made his heart ache, although he was already a ghost that was trapped in the mortal realm because he couldn't move on without her.

Lu Qingfeng thought that with her death, they would be able to reunite in the afterlife, but that never happened because he'd woken up in his twenty one-year-old body in his next life.

He heard Su Xiaofei humming, before pushing herself on the swing as she stared at the crescent moon above the darkened sky.

"I don't think it's just a coincidence, Xiao Feng." She told him. "I think she realized her mistake at the end of her life and regretted her actions and choices."

Lu Qingfeng raised a slender brow at that. "How so?"

"Just a hunch." She replied. "I'm just thinking that if it was me, I would look back at what happened in my life and would realize a lot of things before my death. Didn't some myths say that people would witness their own life flashing before their eyes before they die? Perhaps, at the end of her life, she realized that she had been fooled, and it was too late for her to change and to correct what had already happened." She tried to explain.

"The canola flower not only symbolized their origins, but also the bond they shared with each other. If I was her, I would hope to meet him again in my next life. Perhaps in our next life, I could be good to him, and he wouldn't lose his life because of me."

Lu Qingfeng only stared at her, feeling like cold water had been poured over him. He hadn't thought about it that far, but she was able to explain it from another point of view. He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.

Was this why he was reborned in his second life? Because Su Xiaofei bore such intense regret in their first life, she had prayed to be with him in another life, and yet he'd failed to protect her again?

"I think the last thing the boy would want is for the girl to blame herself. She didn't mean to forget him in the first place, and she'd been lied to by another person who took advantage of her state. If I were the boy, the most important thing for me was for the girl to return to him safe and happy."

Su Xiaofei sighed, stopped her swing and stood up. She then stretched her arms above her head and yawned.

"That's enough. Why are we talking about sad stories, anyway?"

"Weren't you the one who started it?"

"Still, it's just too sad." She slapped his arm in annoyance. "Anyway, if I end up forgetting you just like that little girl, you have to make sure you keep reminding me no matter what happens! If in the end, I still couldn't remember you, then you have no choice but to make new memories with me, okay?"

Lu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, before a smile spread on his lips. Why hadn't he thought of that before?

"Okay. I will do my best, but if you truly dare to forget about me in the future, please expect to see your embarrassing photos as a child on all social media outlets. Let's see if you'll still dare to forget about me." His eyes curved with a mischievous glint on it. Want to forget about him for the third time? Not a f*cking chance!

"Ahh! Lu Qingfeng! Lu Qingfeng! Don't you dare do that! I will kill you!" Su Xiaofei dared to hit his arm again, but he avoided her hand just in time as he stepped back from her.

"Your highness, my queen. How do you plan to kill this servant? If this servant could be bold, may this servant ask you to please kill him by drowning him with your love instead?"

"Lu Qingfeng!" Su Xiaofei called his name again, aware that her face was red, from his shamelessness.

"Calm down, milady. This servant of yours will retreat for now." Lu Qingfeng said as he stepped back, ready to leave.
