Chapter 139: The Night of the Marriage to Ward Off Misfortune, the Crazy Reborn Antagonist is Back (23)

Lin Xu felt as if he had been asleep for an eternity, so long that the world seemed to have crumbled into ruin.

The sky was dim, and people were leaping from the rooftops of skyscrapers.

The shattered bodies merged with the blood-red sky, creating a scene both grotesque and surreal.

His spirit seemed to drift from his body, and he hovered in the air, detached and indifferent, looking at this strange world without a single stir in his heart.

He still didn't love this world.

The fate of the world meant nothing to him.

But… there seemed to be a voice in his heart saying something.

There was someone in this world that he cherished deeply.

A'Chu.

When those two words surfaced in his thoughts, the desolate world was suddenly bathed in warm sunlight.

A force drew him back down, and the floating soul returned to his body.

Lin Xu's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

What met his eyes was Song Chuyi's worried face.

Lin Xu's stagnant mind began to move. "A'Chu..."

He opened his mouth but found his voice hoarse.

Song Chuyi replied, "I'm here."

Lin Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile.

"I was going to give you a surprise."

Song Chuyi took a sip of water, moved closer, and gently touched Lin Xu's lips with his moist lips.

"It's already a surprise." He said softly.

"Lin Xu is the most amazing person in the world."

Lin Xu lightly pressed his lips together, the moisture making them less dry.

"Didn't you say you'd come back the day after tomorrow?"

"I missed you," Song Chuyi replied with a smile. "So I came back earlier."

"I asked the doctor. He said the surgery was very successful, and with some time to recover, you can start rehabilitation exercises."

He gently took his hand. "I'll be with you during the rehabilitation."

Feeling the warmth from his fingertips, a smile inevitably welled up from the depths of Lin Xu's eyes.

Even the lines of his brow softened with tenderness and affection.

"A'Chu, the world is a wonderful place with you in it."

It's amazing that fate gave him a second chance at life.

He had never felt this happy before.

Sunlight streamed in, warming his skin and filling the room with a cozy glow.

The world seemed to have become more beautiful.

Song Chuyi held Lin Xu's hand and heard Xiaotong's voice in his mind.

"Host, the mission is complete. Do you wish to leave this world?"

Without hesitation, Song Chuyi replied, "No, I won’t leave."

How could he ever bring himself to leave?

This person, whom he had worked so hard to keep close, was someone he had finally held onto.

Xiaotong: "Got it, host. Enjoy your time here."

Song Chuyi smiled softly, looking at Lin Xu, whose face was still pale but whose eyes sparkled with light.

"Then you’d better hold onto me tight."

"I will," Lin Xu's voice was resolute as he used all his strength to hold onto Song Chuyi's hand in return, "I will hold on tight."

This was his, his A'Chu.

————

Lin Xu’s recovery exceeded expectations, and within a month, he was able to start rehabilitation exercises.

It was a long and tedious process, but Lin Xu embraced it wholeheartedly.

Just thinking about walking hand in hand with A'Chu at sunset filled him with happiness and gave him the strength to keep going.

Song Chuyi was always by his side during each rehabilitation session.

Their eyes met, exchanging a glance filled with smiles.

Half a year later, Lin Xu was able to walk like a normal person, though he still couldn’t engage in overly strenuous activities.

But he was already very satisfied.

In the autumn, during the dusk, Lin Xu took Song Chuyi to the mountain villa.

The grape arbor was now lush with vines, heavy with ripe grapes.

The vegetables in the garden were fresh and vibrant, and the flowers planted around the villa bloomed in competition, with occasional bees flying amidst the flowers.

There was a faint fragrance in the air, just enough to be perceived but not overpowering.

A wide road had been built outside the villa, allowing cars to drive directly into the garage, without the previous hassle of walking down.

The living room now had a homely feel, with new additions like a coffee machine, ice maker, and a double-door fridge.

These everyday items added a touch of warmth to the once cold living room.

Seeing the coffee machine on the table, Song Chuyi let go of Lin Xu's hand and ran over.

"Lin Xu, do you want some coffee? I'll make it for you!"

Without waiting for Lin Xu to reply, Song Chuyi eagerly went to prepare the coffee.

He knew for sure that Lin Xu would never refuse him.

A few minutes later, Lin Xu found a steaming cup of coffee sitting in front of him.

"Want to give it a try?"

Lin Xu picked up the coffee from the table and took a small sip.

The coffee was unsweetened, made directly from freshly ground beans, and it was incredibly bitter.

Lin Xu swallowed it, and a hint of sweetness spread across his tongue—a subtle sweetness.

It didn’t taste like coffee at all, but more like... the sweetness of A'Chu.

"It's really good," Lin Xu took another small sip.

The faint sweetness lingered on his lips after he swallowed.

Song Chuyi said with a beaming smile, "Of course, don't you know who made it?"

"Lin Xu, Lin Xu, do you like coffee?"

"I do," Lin Xu took Song Chuyi's hand, "I like the coffee that A'Chu makes."

"I only like A'Chu's coffee."

Song Chuyi was very satisfied with this answer and leaned in for a kiss.

Lin Xu then scooped him up in his arms.

Song Chuyi: ???

"Wait," he suddenly realized something, "What do you think you're doing?"

Lin Xu chuckled softly as he walked, "Usually, it’s A'Chu who carries me, but now it’s my turn to carry you."

He didn’t stop walking and headed straight toward the bedroom.

The bed was big enough for both of them to roll around on.

Lin Xu had such thoughts in mind; he wanted to surprise A'Chu in a big way.

He wasn’t about to be outdone.

Lin Xu gently placed Song Chuyi on the bed, his large hand holding onto his slender wrist, restraining him in his arms.

Lying there, Song Chuyi vaguely sensed something.

"Wait, you..."

Was it really what he thought?

No way, huh?

His eyes widened, only to see Lin Xu lower his head and gently peck the corner of his mouth.

"Did you like that?"

Song Chuyi: !!!

A'Chu lied to him!

This is obviously super effective!

"I... I... you..." Song Chuyi's mind was spinning, and he struggled to form a coherent sentence.

Lin Xu chuckled softly and comforted, "Okay, okay, I know my little Ah Chu isn't quite there yet."

"Let me handle it."

Song Chuyi: ???

Who's not capable? Who's not capable? Who's not capable?!

"Hell no! I'm awesome!" Song Chuyi refuted loudly.

He tried to arch up, only to be pressed down by Lin Xu again.

Lin Xu lowered his head, pressing a soft kiss to the side of Song Chuyi's ear.

"Okay, okay, my Ah Chu is super amazing."

"Ah Chu is the most amazing person in the world."

His warm breath trailed down every inch, neck, collarbone, chest... kissing every inch.
