“If that child who loved Bella so much was you, he would have forgiven you a long time ago. Instead, it would be more heartbreaking for a loving sister to ruin herself because of guilt.”
Suddenly, my heart sank.
“Do you know the saying that when a person dies, they are reborn?”
“…I used to think it was an absurd idea, but now I believe it. I hope Noah… is happy somewhere.”
“When you let go of attachment and lingering regrets, you are said to be reborn. And destiny goes around and comes around.”
“Do you think Noah… was reborn? Is he happy somewhere?”
Instead of answering, he smiled slightly.
“It’s just my feeling, but it seems like Bella has already met Noah.”
At his sudden words, my lips trembled. Just hearing those words made my heart beat like crazy.
“Is it really…?”
“I’m not sure. In fact, I can’t say it’s true or false. I’m not an all-knowing god… Still, Shasha’s energy, which I feel from time to time, is very similar to yours. Bella, I feel two different energies from you. Shasha is similar too.”
Suddenly, something came to mind.
“Come to think of it… Shasha’s age and my brother’s age are quite similar. The day Noah left… and the day Shasha was born…”
Maybe I just wanted to think that way. In fact, it might not be true. It could be Serhelus trying to comfort me. Even so, I really wanted to believe his words.
“It might be true.”
“Yes…”
My eyes became warm. The view in front of me blurred as if I would shed tears right away.
“Thank you for comforting me. Even if it’s just words…”
“It’s not just words, it’s real.”
“Then… is Noah Shasha?”
“It’s probably true. It seems like they’ve come together again through the bond of the two. It could be that unconsciously, seeing you struggling alone, your sister pulled you in. If Serhelus’ words are really true…”
“I really… hope so. I’ll love without regret this time… I hope Shasha is Noah.”
He continued to pat my shoulder endlessly. We didn’t say anything. That’s why I shed more tears.
It was a remark I wanted to be criticized for, a remark I wanted to hear the words “endure even if it’s just words” for. Unexpectedly, I received an unexpected story and comfort.
After shedding tears for a long time, I looked at him after my face became a mess.
“It’s a story I couldn’t tell anyone else. But… in front of you, I end up telling it.”
“I feel much more comfortable now.”
“I guess so.”
His touch was so affectionate. Feeling that, I wiped away my tears.
“Bella, no matter what fate, once it’s tied, you’ll meet again. The closer the relationship, the closer you become.”
“Yes…”
The words that came out of his mouth next were far beyond my expectations.
“So, Bella, we will meet again.”
“What? What do you mean, Serhelus? Are you leaving?”
“It’s not right now, but someday. So, don’t be sad about parting, and look forward to the upcoming meeting. Just like the emotions you have for Noah, don’t be heartbroken for each farewell. The one leaving hopes for your happiness.”
In his seemingly serious tone and expression, I blinked my eyes.
Why is he saying something like this to me? Could something really have happened?
“Maybe… are you dying…? Do you have a terminal illness or something?”
It was a hesitant question, but he did not deny it.
“Sometimes, people just want to take a break. It seems like that time has come for me.”
“…”
What should I say? My heart, hearing his words, began to beat heavily.
“You can’t die.”
“Will you be sad if I die?”
“No. I won’t be sad, and I won’t remember. So, live. Even if you don’t want to… live. Start with something very small, like holding on to a little regret.”
“A regret.”
“Well, first, you might want to see Merkin’s big form. Start with things like that.”
I could somewhat gauge why he, who had lived for an unknowably long time, was telling me such a story.
The people he had spent time with had already died, and even if he built connections again, they would eventually die before him. So, perhaps he wanted a break.
But his expression looked quite serious. Anxiety kept finding its way to me. Whether he knew about my feelings or not, he chuckled softly.
“Bella, don’t make such a serious face. It feels like I’m scolding you.”
“Don’t think about other things. Please…”
“Okay, I got it. Then, Bella, if you were to be born again, what would you want to be?”
“I… a cat.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
