Chapter 384 Jiang Xingni, I love you

Jiang Xingni returned to her childhood once again.

She sat on the bay window, bathed in the warm afternoon sunlight.

The timing was right after her parents' death. For some reason, Jiang Xingni didn't seem to feel sad at all, only a sense of exhaustion—why was it this time again? Why was she thinking about her parents again?

Having been through so much, does she really have to keep focusing on her parents?

But... what happened to her? Why did she say "again"? How can a person repeatedly recall this moment?

The childhood of losing her parents is too distant for Jiang Xingni. If she hadn't seen the photos, she would have almost forgotten her parents' faces.

Why couldn't it have been sooner? Jiang Xingni thought with some regret. Sooner, so that she could see her parents one more time, even in a dream.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

A person made entirely of black mud crawled into the room, leaving black marks on the floor.

Jiang Xingni was startled.

That monster has absolutely no manners! It's so dirty, how long is she going to mop the floor for?!

The black mud monster wriggled closer to Jiang Xingni, opened its mouth as if to say something—but Jiang Xingni suddenly heard an angry shout: "Shut up!"

A red-haired girl descended from the sky, her red hair sweeping across the room like flames. She turned around, her eyes filled with a dazzling, flawless green.

The black mud vanished without a trace under her radiance, and she simply took Jiang Xingni's hand: "Let's move forward."

She said, "Keep moving forward, Jiang Xingni, wait for me in the future, I love you."

As the surrounding scenery slowly faded away, Jiang Xingni saw herself running. She noticed that her figure was gradually growing, and she was growing at an extremely fast pace.

When she paused again, she saw the corpse, the kind of corpse that could be seen occasionally in the lower city.

She was transported back to the moment she first saw the corpse of a passerby. Jiang Xingni knew she shouldn't be afraid, but in that instant, an overwhelming fear gripped her mind.

Jiang Xingni felt her breath tremble. She knelt on the ground, suppressing the urge to take a look, but the image of the corpse still lingered in her mind.

It's not entirely true that they were just passersby. After her parents died, Jiang Xingni occasionally received care from kind-hearted people, and the person who died in front of her was one of the rare kind people she encountered after her parents' death.

After his death, Jiang Xingni never encountered anyone like him again during her growing up, and she gradually got used to being alone.

Then someone covered Jiang Xingni's eyes.

Having appeared there in a daze, Xiao Jiming instinctively covered Jiang Xingni's eyes and picked up the young girl from the ground. Almost without thinking, the first sentence that came to his mind was: "Let's move forward, Jiang Xingni, I love you."

"You endured all this pain by yourself, you're amazing, Jiang Xingni."

When he realized what he had said, Xiao Jiming's face turned red instantly. He blanked his mind, trying to hypnotize himself that nothing had just happened, and he didn't blurt out "I love you".

Jiang Xing didn't see Xiao Jiming's face. She realized that the scenery around her was changing again, and everything was happening too fast.

She instinctively grabbed Xiao Jiming's sleeve and said helplessly, "Then... at least let me see your face, at least let me see who loves me."

Xiao Jiming did not let go.

"No need." His voice was tinged with amusement. "In your memory, even without anyone helping you or covering your face, you still managed to get through it. You don't need to remember my face for something like this."

"Jiang Xingni, this world loves you, we love you."

So she started running again.

They stopped when they were in high school, and she was holding Xu Niannian's hand as they walked home from school.

Xu Niannian kept muttering about superpowers, resurrection, and apologies, while Jiang Xingni was completely confused: "Did you have a nightmare? We're still in high school, and there are no alien invasions tomorrow that will let us skip our quiz."

Xu Niannian looked at her for a while, then burst out laughing: "You're right."

The two little girls held hands and leaned their heads together. Xu Niannian said, "I really want you to stay. Let's hide and not be found by fate."

"But you'll always move on, Jiang Xingni, I love you too," she whispered, and before everything changed, a kiss landed on Jiang Xingni's cheek. "I was the first one to love you."

Although my love for you may not be abundant, I do love you.

The story splits into two parts after high school.

Jiang Xingni felt that he had spent his summer vacation normally and started college, but on the other hand, he felt that he had died during the summer vacation, that he had given up college and taken a high-risk job, and that he had died again and again.

But in each death, she could see a person repeatedly starting over, reloading save files, watching their own death, and then going back in time, trying to find a way out in the endless dead end.

Jiang Xing saw him smile at her: "I love you. I won't let your time stop here, I won't let your lifespan stop here. You should keep moving forward."

On the other side, in the university, she saw a suitor—with gray hair and purple contact lenses—give her a single earring, the gemstone of which was even broken.

Jiang Xingni: ?

"You gave me a broken earring?" Jiang Xingni couldn't help but question.

Pei Zhaoye:......

Pei Zhaoye hugged her silently: "I love you. When you move on, I'll give you a brand new pair of earrings."

Jiang Xingni really wanted to complain, "Why would I need to use earrings to entice her to move forward?"

But before she could even utter a word, fate had already pushed her forward, ever onward.

He was embraced by a young girl by the river. She said, "Although I haven't known you for very long, I love you, Jiang Xingni. The death of innocent people has never been your fault."

She saw people with brightly colored hair and eyes come up to her and hug her, one after another, saying "I love you" all at once.

Jiang Xingni found their mushyness annoying, but at the same time, she could feel her heart softening little by little.

She thought she had received so much love.

She wondered, was this love truly meant for her? Did she really deserve such love?

Even as she faced death, Jiang Xing glanced at Su Yanzhi before her and smiled.

"Su Yanzhi, why is it you at this particular time?" But there really was no one else but Su Yanzhi.

Su Yanzhi smiled lazily at Jiang Xingni, who was almost forgetting what Su Yanzhi looked like when they first met.

He walked up, throwing away his weapons as he went—knives, guns, daggers, swords, poison… and finally walked up to Jiang Xingni, empty-handed.

"Xie Yungui never mentioned that," he muttered to himself. "I was still working as an assassin overseas when I was suddenly summoned here."

"But besides Lu Xianqing, I'm probably the person closest to death, right?"

He hugged Jiang Xingni and said, "You know I really wanted to kill you, but my heart broke the moment I saw you die. Jiang Xingni, it seems I did love you."

Jiang Xingni slowly dissipated in his arms, and in a daze, she heard someone calling her name.

One person is still missing.

Who's missing?

Jiang Xingni finally caught the system's voice.

Jiang Xingni, your creator doesn't love you.

Jiang Xingni, I love the new world you've rewritten.

Jiang Xingni, we started loving you even before this.
