FV: Chapter 276

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at this affectionate face and listened to the obviously performative words.

Ji Yuxiao saw him laughing and his thoughts became firmer. “How about it? Have I seen through the essence of the program group?”

Lin Luoqing nodded. “It is a pity that they aren’t as smart as you.”

After being interrupted like this by Ji Yuxiao, he wasn’t so nervous any longer. The following words were easier to say.

“I am serious.”

“Yes.” Ji Yuxiao was very cooperative. “I believe you.”

Lin Luoqing laughed again.”Listen to me.”

“Yes, you say it. I’m listening.”

“Didn’t you ask me before about why I married you? I never dared to tell you the truth because it was more like a lie and wasn’t as credible as a lie.”

Ji Yuxiao listened to him talk about this and finally realized that Lin Luoqing wasn’t tricking him due to the show. Lin Luoqing seriously wanted to talk to him.

He put away his carelessness in an instant and looked serious. “Why?”

What truth sounded more like a lie?”

“Because I’m not from this world.” Lin Luoqing repeated. “I’m serious. I’m not lying, let alone this being a trick of the program group.”

Ji Yuxiao, “????”

Ji Yuxiao looked at him doubtfully and incredulously. “You aren’t from this world?”

Was he really from the Three-Body Problem?

“Do you believe in parallel worlds?” Lin Luoqing asked him. “I didn’t believe it before, but now I believe it.”

He said, “I grew up living in another world. My parents left when I was in elementary school and I could only live in my aunt’s house. My aunt and uncle weren’t my parents. All they could give me was food and clothing. Naturally, there was very little affection, let alone meticulous care.”

“But I’m still very grateful to them. After all, it wasn’t easy for them to take care of me growing up.”

“There, I was also an actor. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very lucky. I only played small supporting roles and there were naturally no masterpieces. Still, I have always worked hard and cherished every opportunity. I have accumulated a lot of acting experience.”

“Then one day, I had a dream. I dreamed of Xiao Yu and Fei Fei. Both of them were orphans, especially Xiao Yu. He originally had an uncle to take care of him, but his uncle died tragically. He cried very sadly and it was very hard for him to grow up alone. I was sad for a long time after waking up and thought about my childhood again.”

“At that time, I thought that if I was his relative, I could take good care of him and make his upbringing less difficult.”

“Then I was confused. One night, I was lying in bed after reading a book and getting ready to sleep. When I woke up, I came here and was standing in front of you. You told me to rest assured that you wouldn’t marry me, so I didn’t need to show the determination to die.”

“I was very confused at the time and didn’t react for a while. This was until you accidentally mentioned your name later that I realized. You were Xiao Yu’s uncle. In my dream, the name of Xiao Yu’s uncle was Ji Yuxiao and his legs were injured in order to protect Xiao Yu. Almost instantly, I thought of what happened to Xiao Yu in the dream and remembered how I once thought I could take care of Xiao Yu if I was his relative. However, I didn’t know you at the time. I couldn’t tell you the truth either—you wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”

“Besides, the previous owner of this body said something like that to you before and it was even more impressive for you to want me to get in contact with Xiao Yu in the future. Xiao Yu would definitely think I wasn’t a good person. That is why I said I was pretending before and said to let’s get married. This way, I could slowly offset the bad impression left by the original owner in your heart with my later actions. I could also take good care of Xiao Yu in the future.”

Lin Luoqing finished talking and cautiously looked at Ji Yuxiao.

He didn’t want Ji Yuxiao to know that the world he lived in was a book. No one would like their fate to be controlled by others. Moreover, since he transmigrated here, their fate had changed. Ji Yuxiao had also jumped out of the death fate designed for him by the author. There was no need to tell him that his world was a book.

Ji Yuxiao listened to his words and was stunned for a while. Then he said, “Then in fact, you initially married me because of Xiao Yu?”

Lin Luoqing nodded.

It was indeed for Ji Leyu. Lin Luoqing didn’t lie about this. He just adjusted his rhetoric and made it a milder version that Ji Yuxiao could accept.

He couldn’t really say it and Ji Yuxiao wouldn’t believe that his little nephew was actually a big devil. Since the original owner insulted Ji Yuxiao as soon as they met and mocked Ji Yuxiao in front of others, his nephew would make the original owner marry a group of dogs after growing up.

In order to get rid of this ending, Lin Luoqing decided to give Ji Leyu a father so that there wouldn’t be a chance to persecute him in the future!

Ji Yuxiao definitely wouldn’t believe it this time. He only believed that his little nephew was an angel. How could an angel do such a thing?

It must be a misunderstanding, it was fake, it wasn’t his Ji Leyu.

“Does it sound unreal?” Lin Luoqing asked.

It was indeed very unreal, but also extremely convincing. This was especially the case when it came to Lin Luoqing.

Ji Yuxiao didn’t really believe that someone was willing to sacrifice their marriage for the happiness of others, but he thought it was very possible if the other party was Lin Luoqing and Ji Leyu.

Lin Luoqing himself was a gentle and kind person, so he would sympathize with Shi Zheng, help Qin Qu and cooperate with the nameless Yu Jiayou to reach the peak of his fame.

He was even more concerned about Lin Fei and Ji Leyu. He would pick them up and drop them off at school. As long as he was home, he would hug them and praise them for their great work. He would cherish every gift from them and give them the most understanding and tolerance.

He had dreamed about them before and came to this world in a confused state. Adding his own experience to it, at that time, he felt that Ji Leyu’s uncle would also die. So perhaps he thought he was destined for Ji Leyu and that he needed to help Ji Leyu. It wasn’t unreasonable for him to sacrifice his feelings for a period of time in exchange for Ji Leyu’s future happiness. This wasn’t incomprehensible.

Otherwise, based on his previous impression of ‘Lin Luoqing’, it would be impossible for him to let Lin Luoqing meet Ji Leyu even if he died.

“You thought I was going to die, didn’t you?” Ji Yuxiao asked.

Lin Luoqing was a bit embarrassed. “It isn’t that I thought you would die. In the dream, Xiao Yu said that you would be gone a year after you were injured. Weren’t you injured when I transmigrated here? I was worried that everything would be the same in my dream. I thought after one year, you might…”

His voice slowly lowered and his head lowered.

Seeing his guilty look, Ji Yuxiao smiled slightly.

He had previously felt that the contrast between Lin Luoqing before and after was too great. The first time they met, Lin Luoqing acted uncultured, rude and like a villain. Later on, he was gentle and sunny, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze. Ji Yuxiao unknowingly placed his heart on this person.

At that time, he sighed that this difference was like changing people. He didn’t expect that it was really a different person.

Once this truth was accepted, many things that Ji Yuxiao wondered about before would have answers.

Why was Lin Luoqing so eager to marry him after humiliating him?

Why was he completely different from what the previous investigation suggested?

Why did Lin Luoqing always care about his body before? Every time that something went wrong, Lin Luoqing would ask him to go to the hospital for an examination.

Ji Yuxiao sighed deliberately. “It is a pity. I’m still here at this time and I can’t let you take care of Xiao Yu alone.”

“What are you talking about?” Lin Luoqing urged him in a dissatisfied manner. “Hurry, bah bah bah bah bah! Don’t you know how much Xiao Yu cares about you? If you are gone, he will have regrets in his life.”

Ji Yuxiao smiled and followed this person by saying ‘bah’ several times in his heart. He hugged Lin Luoqing and said sincerely, “Thank you.”

He never thought there would be another person in the world who cared so much about Ji Leyu, even willing to sacrifice his marriage so he could have a reasonable identity to take care of Ji Leyu.

It might be more from the warmth of family affection that he wanted but didn’t get when he was a child, but the softest part of Ji Yuxiao’s heart was hit without warning after knowing that someone was sincerely praying for Ji Leyu and wanted to give him warmth.

Ji Leyu was too special for him. Ji Leyu was young, sensible and had lost his parents. These parents were also the most important people to Ji Yuxiao. This undoubtedly led to Ji Leyu becoming the most insurmountable existence in Ji Yuxiao’s heart.

Lin Luoqing also knew this, so he couldn’t tell Ji Yuxiao the truth. He couldn’t tell Ji Yuxiao how Ji Leyu became a demon after he left, how he lost the bottom line that restrained him and how his world was inherently devoid of morality, so he became an uncontrolled source of danger.

Lin Luoqing had thought of many reasons to avoid Ji Leyu when explaining, but he always felt it was unavoidable. Even if he confessed that he wasn’t from this world and that he had traveled across worlds, it was useless. No one would transmigrate and actively want to marry another person.

This was unscientific. What did he want to do? It couldn’t really be love at first sight, right? It shouldn’t be so urgent, right?

Later, he finally thought about a reason on that day when he recalled Ji Yuxiao saying that he liked Lin Luoqing.

Liking was the most suitable reason. At that time, he couldn’t like Ji Yuxiao, but he could like the child who lost his loved ones.

Adults were always full of love and kindness for children. It was normal for an adult to like a cute, well-behaved and miserable child.

At the very least, it was normal for Ji Yuxiao. After all, for Ji Yuxiao, Ji Leyu was well-behaved, sensible, cute and childish. He loved Ji Leyu without reservation and naturally felt that others should like Ji Leyu, love him, feel sorry for him and want to take care of him. This was a normal and proper thing.

Sure enough, Ji Yuxiao didn’t doubt it.

At this point, there were no more secrets between them.

Ji Yuxiao put his arm around Lin Luoqing’s shoulders. He remembered Lin Luoqing saying that he had no parents when he was a child and lived in his aunt and uncle’s house. This made Ji Yuxiao say in a distressed manner, “If only I had met you earlier. You could live in my house and my brother and I could take care of you together. Then you would have relatives.”

Hearing this, Lin Luoqing smiled. “Then I would’ve had to transmigrate over ten years earlier.”

“Or I could go to you,” Ji Yuxiao said. “I can also grow up with you if I transmigrated.”

“You can just accompany me in the future,” Lin Luoqing said with a smile.

The past was all over. He didn’t feel distressed or melancholy about the past. He grew up well and met good people, so he didn’t feel that he suffered.

Ji Yuxiao saw his open-minded look and kissed him, always feeling distressed in his heart.

Lin Luoqing was like the moon, full of light and gentleness. He always maintained warmth and kindness toward people, but he himself hadn’t grown up that happy. It would be good if Ji Yuxiao could meet him early and take care of him early.

Ji Yuxiao could give him everything, always being full of patience and caring for him. Ji Yuxiao could accompany him to grow step by step, day by day.

“What was your name before and what did you look like?” Ji Yuxiao asked curiously.

“I was also called Lin Luoqing and I looked basically the same as now. There is no difference except for the location of the mole.”

“Ji Yuxiao was surprised. “Then do you have me in that world?”

“Of course not. The richest person we have there is surnamed Jiang.”

Ji Yuxiao nodded. It seemed that the people in each parallel world weren’t exactly the same.

‘This isn’t right,’ he thought. ‘If the ‘Lin Luoqing’ I met was the real ‘Lin Luoqing’ of this world, then they are two different people even if they have the same name, similar appearance and completely different personalities.’

Ji Yuxiao’s heart suddenly moved and he asked, “Did you have any omens before you transmigrated?”

Lin Luoqing shook his head. “There was nothing. I just lay down and went to sleep normally. Then I was in your study when I opened my eyes again.”

“So it is possible that others will transmigrate without warning.”

“Yes… Does the same name count?” Lin Luoqing wondered. “Don’t we both have the same name?”

Ji Yuxiao smiled. “There are so many people in this world and there are always many people with the same name and surname. This naturally doesn’t count.”

“Then I don’t know.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Ji Yuxiao’s tone was gentle. “In this way, at least I know that there are other worlds apart from this world.”

Perhaps his older brother and sister-in-law just left this world, not completely disappeared.

They might wake up in other worlds, meet new people there and start a new life, just like Lin Luoqing. Ji Yuxiao just couldn’t see them.

Ji Yuxiao suddenly felt very happy. Not only was he happy about his encounter with Lin Luoqing, but he was also happy for the new hope. He looked at Lin Luoqing and sincerely thanked him. “Thank you for telling me this, thank you for being willing to tell me such an unscientific thing. I believe in you. No matter where you come from, I like the current you, the you who gets along with me.”

Lin Luoqing couldn’t help laughing. “It’s good that you don’t think I am lying to you.”

“Of course, I did think you were very different from the ‘Lin Luoqing’ in the beginning, but I never dared to think about this. In addition, if there is really a parallel world, I can also fantasize that in a place I don’t know, my brother and sister-in-law might continue their lives there.”

Lin Luoqing was stunned for a moment before reacting. Yes, if he could travel between worlds to come here, why couldn’t Ji Yuling and Cheng Wei?

They might’ve indeed died physically, but their souls could go to other words, just like him. It might be rare but it wasn’t impossible.

Lin Luoqing laughed suddenly and nodded. “You are right. They must be in another world where they are continuing their lives.”

Ji Yuxiao let out a ‘hmm.’ He hugged Lin Luoqing tightly, hugging the person in front of him tightly.

He never felt for a moment that they were so difficult and that he had occupied so much luck.

Lin Luoqing came here from another time and space, with warmth and love. He wanted to help Ji Leyu but accidentally fell in love with Ji Yuxiao, helping Ji Yuxiao get through the worst time and continue his life.

Lin Luoqing gave Ji Yuxiao all his tenderness and strength, so that Ji Yuxiao walked through the slow long night to the dawn at the eye. Now he gave Ji Yuxiao new hope so that Ji Yuxiao had the last solace and hope.

Everything about Ji Yuxiao shone brightly because of Lin Luoqing’s appearance.

“Thank you for being by my side,” Ji Yuxiao said softly. “You are the more fortunate luck in my life, as well as the rarest and most precious thing in my life.”

In a person’s life, they might meet very close relatives and sincere friends, but it was difficult to meet a lover he liked and who also liked him, who was full of beauty and sincerity, but somehow Ji Yuxiao met him.

His life, due to this person’s appearance, was vivid and shining.
