Chapter 208 - 206: His Catastrophe, Her Fate
Dongfang Wuya organized his language before responding in a rather vague manner, "Indeed, we are of the same generation. I am the youngest in my family, and you are also the youngest in yours, aren’t we peers then?"
It was just that he would have to add a few zeros to her age, but what he said wasn’t incorrect, they were indeed of the same generation.
Shen Qinghe felt that his logic was sound and pursued further, "Don’t you have any brothers or sisters? Are there other relatives in your family?"
After asking, she felt she shouldn’t have been so nosy. Dongfang Wuya probably wouldn’t answer.
To her surprise, this time he did answer her question, "All other members of my family have passed away. Since birth, I’ve been living alone. I found life too monotonous, so I taught myself some things to pass the time."
Shen Qinghe’s eyes brightened as she said with keen interest, "Like alchemy, like refining puppets?"
Dongfang Wuya’s lips curved slightly as he gently pinched her cheek, "Very clever. But I learn things quickly, and once I’ve mastered them, they become boring. So I went to play in the South Desolate Continent to pass time, but who knew..."
Shen Qinghe was listening intently, but when Dongfang Wuya stopped speaking, she looked at him to find him showing the same gloomy expression he had when he mentioned Snow Bone Grass before.
She spoke with heartfelt concern, "The unpleasant past is behind us. If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t. From now on, I’ll accompany you. You won’t be lonely anymore."
A warmth filled Dongfang Wuya’s heart. He pulled her to sit at the edge of the bed, "There’s nothing I can’t tell you. You are about to become my bride, you should know about my affairs. But don’t be afraid of the words I will say next. No matter what happens in the future, no matter if I go far away, you are my woman. One day I will return to find you."
He had not wanted to drag her into his desolate world. After all, she had suffered enough in the past. A girl like her should live a secure and happy life.
