Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes (Love You Seven Times)

Chapter 7

“Huh?”

I was still in a trance when I forced myself to sit up.

“Brat, you came to find me, ah?”

Lu Hai Kong was now half a head taller than me. He came to me and knelt down, ignoring my question. He held my hand for quite a while before calming down. Softly, he said, “I only told my uncle about today, but I didn’t expect those people to come. I know you don’t like places with many people. The guards inside the mansion had told me that you hadn’t come back. The guard at the door had only said that you came back, but then went away. I thought you were angry…”

Although he was young, the way he handled things was not inferior to his uncle. But today, with only a few words of explanation, he was saying them incoherently, making them illogical.

I chuckled and waved with my hands. “Why are you nervous? Now I can’t beat you anymore.”

Lu Hai Kong stared at me for a moment and then said with a little laugh: “Yun Xiang was never rough with me.”

Even if it was only my shadow, you wouldn’t have remembered it at that time. I didn’t continue talking about this topic with him. I put my hands in my pockets, but couldn’t find something decent. I grew mad and took out two coins.

“Here, happy birthday. I really don’t know what else to give you.”

Lu Hai Kong stared at the two coins and blinked with his left eye

“My gift?”

I was immediately alert. I tightly held my purse.

“Just these two, there’s no more.”

He froze for a moment. Dumbfounded, he looked at the two coins. A little pathetically, he said: “Yun Xiang, you’re so stingy.”

After saying that, he obediently put the two coins in his chest.

I looked at his shoulder and said, “Nothing is free. You carry me back home. I don’t want to walk. I’m really tired.”

Lu Hai Kong naturally wouldn’t refuse. Obediently, he put me on his back. Going outside, I suddenly remembered something.

“Little Xiang Xiang, if you want money, go to the northern protector’s mansion. There’s so much money there.”

Once out of the liquor house, I realized that Lu Hai Kong came alone. With his identity now, going out at night was really dangerous. I put my head on his shoulder and said, “You need to protect yourself first. Then you can anything else.”

“I need to protect you too.”

With a bit of pride Lu Hai Kong said: “I can now protect you very well.”

I didn’t say anything more. On the way back, there was only the sound of Lu Hai Kong’s calm footsteps. After walking halfway, Lu Hai Kong asked: “Yun Xiang, why did…did you drink so much wine today? Are you not happy?”

“The wine is delicious. I was not unhappy.”

I leaned against his shoulder again and said: “I was only feeling life. Time flies; the days and months went by so fast.”

Lu Hai Kong stopped in his tracks. I rubbed my head on his shoulder, finding a comfortable spot to sleep.

“I thought about the past.”

No wonder mortals were envious of the enjoyable, happy days in Heaven.

After hearing what I said, Lu Hai Kong didn’t move for quite a while. When I started dreaming, I heard him vaguely say: “I’m sorry, Yun Xiang.”
