Huai Xu, born in April

During the passionate kiss (Xing, Pan, Li: ?), Lu Li didn't want to appear as slick as he did on the surface.

After all, Miss Huai Xu was in his field of vision.

He was actually conflicted inside.

Huai Xu... didn't actually do anything to himself.

On the contrary, she was even very good to herself.

And although she seemed very bold, you could feel her nervousness and awkwardness when you kissed her.

But her body was extremely mature.

To be honest, Lu Li could even understand the female characters in movies and TV dramas who ran off with rich and handsome men.

Put yourself in her shoes: a beautiful, wealthy, and well-connected woman is devoted to you and treats you well in every way.

To be honest, it's really hard to withstand.

Moreover, Lu Li was not actually the one who took the initiative; it was Huai Xu who did.

Although inexperienced, she was proactive.

Although she was proactive, she was still awkward.

But Lu Li could still sense the deep longing, fear, and... reluctance in her heart.

People who have never been in a relationship probably wouldn't understand this feeling.

To be honest, Lu Li didn't sense any negative emotions from Miss Huai Xu directed at him at all.

But that's the scariest part.

Even though he never intended to harm himself, he still killed himself and became an undead.

Because in her mind, killing herself wasn't a negative thing.

It could even be considered a positive thing.

Sure enough, it's time to take action.

I'm sorry...

While kissing, Lu Li secretly took out a dagger that had a restraining effect on ghosts from his Mustard Seed Sumeru Storage and stabbed it into Huai Xu's abdomen!

But he stopped immediately!

Because he thought of something!

That's not right!

In fact, Huai Xu appeared very organized, which, combined with the description of her personality on the dating app...

She's not a yandere at all!

Everything she did was just to get herself involved!

But that's impossible...

There's no logic to it. Why would she let me stab her?

And he also has to play a villainous role?

What can she get?

Lu Li couldn't understand it at all.

But in that moment of hesitation, Huai Xu stepped forward and let the dagger pierce his own abdomen.

"Hmm..."

Looking at Huai Xu's pained and sorrowful expression, Lu Li was stunned. "Why...?"

"Yes, why is that...?"

She raised her hand and gently stroked Lu Li's face.

Huai Xu's expression was sorrowful, and his vision gradually blurred.

She remembered the past.

That was 1,829 snowy days ago.

It was also 667,715 days and nights ago.

The sky was shrouded in smoke that day, and flames soared into the sky.

That was also the day she first met Lu Li.

Only Lu Li...

By then, she had been wandering through the ruins, which had been burned to the ground, for more than thirty nights and days.

She has no memory of the past, no one can see her, and no one can hear her voice.

Until that day, the first words she heard.

"I've found you."

Later... she continued to live with Lu Li.

Lu Li taught her what time is, what survival is, the difference between men and women, and much more common sense.

Those were the most unforgettable days for her.

Later she learned that it was called "joy".

They lived like that for a long, long time.

She kept thinking... if only things could stay like this forever.

After living with Lu Li for a while, she learned a lot of new common sense.

For example... men and women of similar age living together are either siblings or husband and wife.

She and Lu Li... are they husband and wife?

For some reason, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Also, everyone has a name.

But she has no name.

That day, she asked Lu Li what her name was.

Lu Li was taken aback, then smiled and replied, "Would you like to know about your past?"

"In no mood."

This was her answer.

Yes, she didn't want to know about the past.

She had seen too many things by following Lu Li.

There are good and bad aspects.

But overall it's bad.

People were killing each other, the lives of ordinary people were miserable, and they could be killed at any time. Nine out of ten houses in the world were empty. They could see birds eating carrion and white bones lying exposed in the wilderness almost everywhere they went.

Fortunately, she was able to be with Lu Li.

If you know what happened in the past, you should leave Lu Li.

She didn't want that.

So I don't want to know about the past.

"Hmm... since you don't want to know about the past, why not start over?"

Lu Li looked at a locust tree not far away. "Chinese locust trees bloom in July and August, while black locust trees bloom in April and May. I found you at the end of April and the beginning of May, so let's name you Huaixu (槐序)."

Looking at his sunny smile, she subconsciously lowered her head.

I feel like my face is burning.

"good......"

Huai Xu, is that her name?

She loves it.

Because he was the one who came up with it.

I wish things could continue like this.

She was so looking forward to it.

But eventually, one day, he had to leave.

"Will my beloved abandon me?"

"Liangren" is the term a wife outside the marriage uses to refer to her husband; she overheard this.

It's strange that Lu Li taught him the roles of "wife" and "husband." He seems to be different from everyone else in the world.

"Whatever, whatever makes you happy."

Lu Li ruffled her hair. "There's no way around it. Debts have to be repaid eventually. And there are other pitiful yet hateful people like you waiting for me... I can't just abandon them."

So there are others like her...

That definitely can't be left unattended.

As a virtuous and good wife, she should support Lu Li.

It should be like this...

But why do I feel so sad?

"Can't you really take me with you?"

My heart aches so much...

"There's no other way. It's not a very far place, but it's a place only I can go to."

Lu Li gently patted her head. "Don't worry, we'll meet again someday."

"When?"

"When the locust tree blossoms, I will be waiting for you in the future."

Lu Li left.

The locust tree waits quietly.

The Chinese scholar tree blooms in August, and she waited until the beginning of summer.

The pale yellow flowers had a delicate fragrance, but Lu Li did not return.

Perhaps he was referring to a different kind of locust flower.

The green leaves turned red.

The red leaves have fallen.

The snow is thawing.

New buds are sprouting on the branches.

Another year has passed since the locust tree was first planted.

The pure white flowers were fragrant, but Lu Li still hadn't returned.

Waiting and waiting...

Waiting and waiting...

day after day.

Year by year.

The renowned and unparalleled national hero gradually grew old and passed away.

The Han Dynasty perished, and a new empire was established.

Then chaos reigned, and the people suffered greatly.

Then again and again...

Huai Xu is still waiting.

But Lu Li still didn't come back.

fraud......

fraud.

fraud!

fraud.

fraud......

No, Lu Li is not a liar.

He said we should trust him.

So Huaixu began searching for a new locust tree.

Countless snowflakes melted and trees sprouted new buds.

She finally found the old locust tree that grew in the netherworld.

Legend has it that all souls return to this place after death, and this locust tree, having absorbed enough souls, will bloom with the most beautiful locust flowers in the world.

So she stayed there, waiting for the flowers to bloom.

After an unknown amount of time, many of the dead referred to her as the Queen of the Underworld.

They established government offices and systems.

From then on, the Yellow Springs had a guide, and all past events were governed by rules.

But she didn't care about those things; she was just waiting for the flowers to bloom.

But this tree is merely a place of reincarnation. Those souls that pass through this tree eventually shed their past experiences and are then reincarnated.

Therefore, it will never bloom.

Because it can never collect enough souls for the flowers to bloom.

So one day, she controlled the locust tree and prevented the spirit from being reincarnated.

They can only serve as nutrients to make the locust tree bloom.

As long as the flowers bloom... Lu Li will return.

Later, some powerful figures united to attack her.

Even those who called her the Queen of the Underworld betrayed her.

She is dead.

People become ghosts after they die.

What do ghosts become after they die?

She didn't know, but she didn't want to die.

Because if I die, I won't be able to wait for Lu Li.

And so she came back to life.

But this time, even ghosts and monsters could no longer see her.

She doesn't care.

She was simply waiting for her beloved to return.

A very, very long time has passed...

She sensed a familiar presence.

They were the guys who attacked her back then.

They were going to find someone.

That familiar name... Lu Li!

The souls of a million strong people...

It was easy for her.

So she went.

She actually met that person.

Her beloved, Lu Li.

At that moment, the resentment in her heart disappeared.

Why did you abandon me and not come back?

It doesn't matter anymore.

I just want to see him again.

But he no longer recognizes himself.

She suddenly remembered what he had said when he left.

So... is my past the future of my beloved?

August is indeed the season when Chinese scholar trees bloom.

My beloved husband did not lie to me.

But this time, it was I who found you first...
