External Chapter, Fate

Cold Butterfly, the woman said: "I have heard that every butterfly is the soul of a flower from the past, returning to find itself... (She herself has forgotten from which great writer's work this quote was taken) This statement is truly fitting for you—Peach Blossom Fairy Xuanyue, you will surely find yourself. After losing your way for a lifetime, this time you will definitely find your happiness... Do not forget why you came... Do not forget! Sister... (She herself has forgotten from which great writer's work this quote was taken) This statement is truly fitting for you—Peach Blossom Fairy Xuanyue, you will surely find yourself. After losing your way for a lifetime, this time you will definitely find your happiness... Do not forget why you came... Do not forget! Sister...

Xingyu stared blankly, lowered his eyes, and said softly: "I am not interested in older girls either"

Hong Qu, feeling dispirited, vowed to himself: "This won't do! I can't go on like this! It seems I need to lend that kid a hand..."

The White Impermanence whispered, "She is just that kind of woman... Haven't you seen through it yet?"

The sky coincidentally swept across a wisp of gloom at this moment, accompanied by a flash of lightning. Han Die was frightened by this eerie atmosphere, her face pale as she glanced behind her—there was indeed nothing there. Thus, she truly became angry

Bai Wuchang nodded and said: "That is why Hong Qu has sent us here. We have come specifically to meet this woman—Hong Qu's sister from a past life, and Xing Yu's future wife..."

Isn't that boy quite nice?" Han Die's roommate Zhao Yanhen asked, tilting her head.

Xingyu smiled faintly. This was because he saw the woman behind Han Die displaying a smile that came from the heart. ... That smile inexplicably moved Xingyu ...

School! Didn't Hongqu say so? Today is the day of university enrollment. She originally wanted to come in person, but Bingxuan has also become clever this time, keeping a close watch on her since early morning... Therefore, she entrusted us to observe.

Heihei stared wide-eyed, as he was already familiar with the legendary tales circulating in the underworld. "Is it her? The Peach Blossom Fairy from the Heavenly Court? What was her name again?"

Xingyu closed her eyes, intending to take a nap and clear her mind—what kind of words are those!

Strange. I never asked you to be my girlfriend

Brilliant Princess

Whenever the autumn wind blows, Xingyu feels as if his mother is sighing beside him

Yuan Xingyu knew that he had always been different from others

University ... ... I have also been striving for university! '' The Black Wuchang stands in the clouds, arms crossed, expressing feelings, `` In order to get accepted, I gave up all my interests and hobbies, yet I died before reaching the age for the exam ... ... Life has become a meaningless struggle for me—how ironic! ''

Han Die was about to get angry, but then she heard the boy say: "I am just very curious... why is my mother crying behind you?"

The secretary Bingxuan of the Fushui Hall cast a cold gaze through her glasses, sharply piercing through Hongqu's excuses: "Do not seek reasons for your previous laziness."

Bai Wuchang looked at him and solemnly comforted, "Ahei, try to let it go... We do not know when our time will come to an end. If you cannot let it go, it will be very painful"

I understand, I understand! I can see it myself!

Ah! Ice Xuan, who has been standing by like a wooden person, finally spoke up, "What a hopeless fellow! Fortunately, you are already dead... Otherwise, in this lifetime, wouldn't the three of you have to act out 'the son falling in love with his mother, leading to an incestuous relationship, and then marrying another woman, driving his mother to death'?"

Li Handie

The hand, holding a cigarette and resting on the chin, slipped as it asked in astonishment: "Han Die! Have you grown old? Is there already a generation gap between you and the current youth?"

His mother passed away in the autumn... At that time, he was just a small child, in need of his mother's care, yet she left just like that—to save a child about his age, she was struck by a car, and that gentle and witty mother left just like that...

After the cold butterfly awoke, she still had not recovered from the shock of the dream. "... ... Peach Blossom? Xuanyue ... ..."

In the early morning, Han Die awoke from her dreams, only to feel an incessant headache.

Li Handie is such a unique individual—behind her stands a beautiful woman who is weeping. The woman's flowing hair and sorrowful face seem to be drenched in tears.

"Why is my mother crying behind you?" Hong Qu repeated this phrase, "I am not behind that girl! It must be Xuan Ji... Xiao Xing must have seen Xuan Ji! How could you even mistake your own mother? Truly a disobedient child."

The Black and White Impermanence widened their eyes simultaneously, "Wait! Are you implying that..."

The cold butterfly, in a daze, followed the direction pointed out by the woman. To her surprise, the person waiting there was none other than Yuan Xingyu

The cold butterfly did not know what to say, her heart filled with confusion. The woman smiled at her, pointed to a distant, indistinct figure, and said: "Look, the firefly star is waiting for you! He has come for you, Sister Xuanyi, hurry and go!"

Autumn has arrived again

He smiled so gently, so sincerely. In his eyes, tears shimmered faintly as he said: "Xuanji, I have finally found you! I will never forget our promise... This time, I will definitely not forget! In the future, I will not forget either..."

Hong Qu shrugged his shoulders, seemingly indifferent. "Xiao Bing, don't you have anyone or anything that you care about?"

"Isn't that red yeast?" — You mean this, right? " Bai Wuchang calmly analyzed

I have already seen it! Can you please calm down!

Yan Hen smiled, seemingly lost in thought, "So, what exactly attracts you to him?"

Doesn't that have anything to do with it? He doesn't even remember that he was once a Black Wuchang

Xingyu nodded slightly

Son, listen to me, I am doing very well now! You must not think that I will become some boring vengeful spirit wandering the earth... Of course, I will occasionally take a look at you, but recently my secretary has been monitoring me very closely, so I cannot visit you for the time being... Moreover, even if I were to go, you would not be able to see me

Han Die was not paying attention at all; while organizing her textbooks and materials, she said: "So, should I be grateful and weep bitterly? Today's children do not study properly and spend the whole day lost in their thoughts!"

What, what?" Hong Qu widened his eyes and straightened his neck: "Did he really say that?"

"How is it?" Hong Qu, feeling quite pleased with himself, said to Hei Bai Wu Chang: "I am indeed the one and only genius in heaven and on earth, a genius!"

The Black Wuchang reestablishes its spirit, as if all troubles have been cast into the clouds in an instant: "Indeed! I had no hobbies in life, but I must compensate with this immortal soul in any way possible!"

Since he was very young, he has been plagued by nightmares—in those terrifying dreams, he holds a short knife and stabs his mother in the back... A dragon watches all of this in the deep darkness, and on the ground beside the dragon, another mother is bleeding profusely. Xingyu does not understand why there are two mothers in his dreams—two identical, dying mothers.

With a wavering head, Yan Hen sighed, "Of course I know! If even Yuan Xingyu is not enough, I truly do not know what kind of person could make you willingly abandon your theory of hard study, just to leave some memories with him..."

Han Die immediately noticed: this is a child who is not good at expressing himself. It is very difficult to get such a person to speak up. So she asked again: "Why did you come to me? I must declare in advance that I have no interest in children... Moreover, I have been very busy with club activities lately. If you have something to say, please say it quickly!"

The cold butterfly blushed, feeling extremely embarrassed. "Is it not allowed?"

Bai Wuchang could no longer tolerate his embarrassing behavior and said: "Have you never seen a living person?"

But when she turned her head and saw the pale green faces of the Black and White Impermanence, she felt that everyone seemed to have already accepted it as inevitable

What is this and what is that

The sensitive ears of Hongqu did not miss this brief mockery. She turned her head and angrily shouted: "What are you sneaking around saying? Today's hell cake is not for you!"

Autumn is the season that Yuan Xingyu dislikes the most

Should I tell Hong Qu: 'Your son looks like a brooding gangster boss'

Xingyu watched as the girl angrily walked away, his heart sinking into loneliness: "I thought there was some connection between you and your mother, which is why I interacted with you. It turns out... you are blind to it."

Heibuchang secretly tugged at his partner's sleeve: "Did you hear that? She considers taking care of Xiaoxing as 'entertainment'!"

With her chin resting on her hand, she said dreamily: "But don't you think he's quite remarkable? Yuan Xingyu from the first grade is handsome, tall, clear-minded, and excels in all sports... Where can you find such a good boy? Right now, all the single girls in the school have their eyes on him! Even those who are not single might be starting to have some little thoughts..."

This sorrowful woman has appeared countless times in the dream of the starry universe—she is his mother

What are you talking about! Are you trying to scare me?

In the early morning, Xingyu woke up from his dream. He truly could not understand why his mother appeared in his dream once again, and spoke so many inexplicable words. Since her passing, it was the first time he had dreamt of her. At the end of this dream, his mother smiled so profoundly and said: "It cannot be wrong. You say you do not like her now, but in the end, you will surely realize that she is the one you have been searching for throughout your reincarnations, your only beloved!"

Heihei Wuchang was still yelling at Bai Wuchang, "But... that, that, that, that, that..."

He has been waiting, waiting for a person who is equally unique to appear

He looks very gloomy. No wonder he is the reincarnation of my predecessor

The red fungus nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes! He has mistaken me for Xuanyan again. Out of guilt, the Xuanyan he sees is always crying—this is the obsession that has melted into his soul."

What exactly is the substance that constitutes Xingyu's mind? Is it different from that of a normal person? How stubborn she is, even following her to the study room! Yet, she cannot say anything. After all, he is just watching her from the back row... No, it feels more like... he is looking at something on her back.

On Bingxuan's poker face, which has remained unchanged for a thousand years, there is still a layer of frost. "If I had to say, what I care about the most is your backlog of work!"

If you dare, then say it like that. I certainly do not dare

She kept the latter half of her sentence hidden in her heart, only saying it to herself once: as if that gaze had been gently following her for a long, long time

Han Die looked at the tall and sturdy boy in front of her, whose gaze, however, remained innocent. She furrowed her brows and asked, "You, you are a new student, right?"

But, but... can I calm down?" Hei Wuchang danced around, not out of excitement, but simply too surprised. "She is a living person! A living person!"

Oh ho ho ho— the sound of triumphant laughter echoed from the Water-Dispelling Pavilion

Look! I told you that Xiaoxing would definitely meet Xuanyi! It is this year!" Hongqu said triumphantly, "Great! From now on, their eternal bond is established! As a mother, I can also work with peace of mind ... ... "

--- Hell · Water-Repelling Hall ---

Heihei scratched his chin, utterly perplexed, "It feels exactly the same!"

She is a senior in the fourth grade. Xingyu heard someone calling her name

Speaking of hell cake, the Black and White Impermanence immediately accompanied by laughter nodded and bowed, saying: "Ah, oh, Lady of the Water, at least we have made a trip to the human realm for you..."

The black and white impermanence of the supervision records secretly smiled upon returning to report. Hong Qu wore a bored expression, mumbling to find an excuse for himself: "Alright, alright. Seeing how responsible you are, I can't just laze around. I will work diligently... but I will not give up on taking care of Xiao Xing. Just wait and see, I will definitely find a way to balance work and entertainment!"

Did you pay attention to what I said? You can't see me! So that girl behind is not me!

Xingyu smiled, a smile that was profound and inscrutable. However, Han Die felt that there was a tenderness in that smile that moved her deeply and felt familiar. Xingyu's face, it seemed she had seen it somewhere before. She shook her head, forcefully shaking off this terrifying illusion.

She really does not understand how she could have such strange dreams

Heiyuchang ignored him and continued to speak to himself: "Look, Xingyu is standing there in a daze all alone. Has he been bullied? We cannot just stand by and do nothing!"

But he has grown so big! At that time, he was just a little child sleeping in the cradle

Yes, yes, yes... go take a look...

Hong Qu's face turned ashen, and he glared fiercely at the secretary: "Bing Xuan, don't say such disgusting things."

With a smile, Yan Hen looked at Han Die and teasingly asked, "Oh? You actually found a boyfriend? Is that true?"

The veins on her forehead began to throb with anger

Bing Xuan stood by, still expressionless, "Don't you two have your own work? Why do you keep coming to our Fu Shui Hall for no reason?"

Of course, humanity grows up very quickly

Li Handie truly does not understand

Hey! Look at that girl! Look over there!

However! I must tell you, your fateful connection has been painstakingly corrected due to your sacrifices in your past life, and you must not squander it in vain...

I warn you! She frowned and waved her hand: "Don't bother me with your boring nonsense!"

Bing Xuan watched them fooling around with a cold gaze, shaking her head helplessly and muttering to herself: "Hell relies on these people to operate, and it will inevitably encounter problems sooner or later"

Three months later

The White Impermanence replied indifferently: "That is not the case"

The cold butterfly was at a loss, turning back to search for the woman who looked exactly like herself, seeking an explanation, only to see another woman, slightly older and dressed in a Western-style dress, smiling at her. That woman exuded a calm demeanor, both gentle and noble, causing the cold butterfly to forget all her fears

The cold butterfly recalled the words spoken by that fellow on that day, and could not help but shiver uncontrollably

What? Not satisfied? Don't you like that arrogant girl? How infuriating! If you don't like her, why didn't you say so earlier? Why didn't you speak up when you were an official in the heavenly court? It caused me to attempt suicide six times... Forget it, saying all this is pointless.

The cold butterfly tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Perhaps it is his eyes... When he looks at me, that gaze, I have never seen in the eyes of any other man. It's as if..."

Who could that be? Dong dong dong dong! (The first four notes of the Fate Symphony...) I knew you would ask that. Let me tell you! She is—your destined wife!

Heihei nodded affirmatively, while Baihei corroborated with silence

"Yanheng, you don't even know him!" Han Die protested indignantly

Xingyu first met that girl on the day of the opening ceremony. Her short hair fluttered in the autumn breeze, and she was chatting with familiar friends, wearing a radiant smile.

In the dream, I find myself in a long gown trailing on the ground, yet surrounded by utter darkness. Before me, there is nothing, only a mirror... No, it is not a mirror; it is a woman who looks exactly like me!

Heihei Wuchang muttered: "For three months, it's one thing to instill strange dreams in your own son every day, but you've even harassed that little girl..."

The White Impermanence secretly replied: "What more expectations can you have for her..."

Thus, Xingyu did not argue with Handie, but quietly refuted in his heart

The cold butterfly had long known that it was impossible for this dull fellow to speak first, so she said herself: "Originally, I had decided not to date during my studies. However, since you are so sincere, I feel bad making you sad, so I will make an exception this once... Don't get too pleased with yourself!"

Hong Qu looked proudly at the crystal ball that had been turned from the direction of Shake Wind Palace, within which were reflected a man and a woman, namely Xing Yu and Han Die

Han Die glared at her fiercely and said, "Do you not know? I am from the Hard Study Sect! I detest those who are uneducated and lack skills the most!" After finishing her words, she slammed the door and went to study.

The White Impermanence remained as cold as frost, responding lightly: "One should say, 'What a miracle!' You have not turned into a vengeful spirit wandering the world... Your tone suggests that such a possibility certainly exists!"

Heibuchang nodded vigorously

Sister! That woman said with a smile: "Look, I will no longer cling to you and Yingxing... This time, I hope you will be happy!"

Seeing his fluctuating emotions, Bai Wuchang shook his head and said, "Is it just because of this that you are unwilling to accept it?"

Hahaha! Hei Wuchang laughed heartily and patted his partner on the shoulder: "Who would want to become a vengeful spirit for such a boring goal!" He fell silent again and said with a bitter smile: "But, I do feel a bit unwilling..."

Oh, oh! Abai, look, that is him! That is him!

No one can share this nightmare with him, and he cannot even tell his mother about it—despite being just a child, he knows that no mother would want to hear her child say that he killed himself in a dream

But where is he going?
