Chronicle of the 70s

Li Xianglu struggled desperately, pushing away the person embracing her with all her might, but Qin Xi held her tightly in his arms, refusing to let go no matter how much she fussed.

Not long after, the person in his arms stopped struggling, and Qin Xi let out a sigh of relief, about to speak, when he felt the wetness of tears on the back of his exposed hand. He quickly grabbed a towel from the bedside to wipe her eyes, whispering comfortingly, "In both my lives, the person I’ve loved the most is only you."

This was the first time Qin Xi openly admitted that he had been reborn. Li Xianglu’s eyelids fluttered, and, stifling a sob, she asked, "Did you really marry her?"

Qin Xi sighed, knowing that the inevitable had come, and shifted the person in his arms a little closer to his shoulder socket before responding, "I did marry her, but we divorced after three years, and afterwards I never remarried."

Li Xianglu’s mouth puckered, on the verge of tears again—so he had married her. What Shen Yuehong said was true, she had stolen someone else’s husband.

Qin Xi’s voice was calm as he spoke from above her head: "In my past life, I was coerced into it. In this life, I never once thought of having any relationship with her. Even without you appearing, it wouldn’t have been her!"

Li Xianglu pouted, knowing her anger was somewhat inexplicable but feeling aggrieved nonetheless, and unable to hold back, she began sobbing again.

Qin Xi sighed and embraced her, gently saying, "Alright, stop crying. In this life, I only love you, and no one else."

Li Xianglu looked up, with a pitiful expression, and asked, "Even if we have a baby, will you only love me?"

Qin Xi’s mouth twitched slightly, but he nodded firmly, "Yes, even with a baby, I’ll only love you."
