Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1507: Chapter 883: Still Alive

Ye Xuan pulled Luo Ye close, gently stroking her hair, and for a long while, he stayed silent. Sensing the atmosphere growing increasingly ambiguous, Luo Ye quickly sat up straight: "Um, you were so eager to meet me... Is there something urgent?"

Ye Xuan rubbed his forehead, staring helplessly at Luo Ye, "Ye’er, it’s been several days since we’ve seen each other. I missed you and wanted to see you. Does that count as urgent?"

"It... It hasn’t been that long." Luo Ye awkwardly shifted her position, glancing at the time, "Well, I have to get up at four tomorrow..."

Ye Xuan interrupted her: "Can you really fall asleep now if you go back?" As he spoke, he turned her body to face him, forcing her to look him in the eye, "Ye’er, what’s wrong?"

Within his intense affection, there was a tinge of pain and tenderness... The moment their eyes met, Luo Ye felt her heart skip a beat. Unconsciously, she reached out to touch his straight nose. Her slender fingers paused there briefly, then slowly moved up to gently smooth the furrows on his brow.

"Ye’er..." Ye Xuan held Luo Ye’s fragile hand, "Tell me, what’s really going on?"

"Nothing." Luo Ye shook her head with a smile, "It’s just that we haven’t been alone together for a long time, so... I feel a bit uncomfortable."

She answered truthfully, not wanting him to guess or worry unnecessarily.

"That’s good." The corners of his mouth slightly curved up, "From now on, whenever I have time, I’ll accompany you, Ye’er. Indeed, even the best relationship can feel unfamiliar after a long separation."

"Really, do you also feel unfamiliar with me?" Luo Ye asked seemingly nonchalantly.

"No." Ye Xuan shook his head without even thinking, "This is probably a difference between men and women. No matter how long we’ve been apart, I would never feel unfamiliar with you."

"Hehe..." Luo Ye laughed awkwardly.

"Ye’er..." Ye Xuan pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, his warm breath brushing against her ear, "Ye’er..."

Hearing that magnetic voice calling out to her endlessly, Luo Ye felt a flurry in her heart, casting an apprehensive glance at Grandpa’s bedroom, softly clearing her throat: "Wha... What’s up?"

Ye Xuan immediately felt at a loss, thinking, how can someone be so oblivious to romance? "I just want to hold you for a bit, just for a while."

"Oh."

What’s with just an ’oh’?

Ye Xuan couldn’t stand it any longer, pulling her little head to face him: "Ye’er, look into my eyes."

Taking a deep breath, Luo Ye pushed him away and sat down beside him: "Ye Xuan, give me time."

"You don’t feel anything for me anymore?"

"No... It’s not that." Luo Ye was tangled, not knowing how to explain. If she didn’t feel anything, why would she be this flustered? But after being apart for so long, suddenly being this intimate made her really uncomfortable.

Though they say that as long as two people love each other, time and space shouldn’t be an issue, for her, they really were. The feelings were still there, but the unfamiliarity came along too.

Maybe this relates to individual personalities?

She was puzzled herself. Previously, she could be quite forward in getting close to him, although shy, yet without any mental barriers.

But now, she instinctively felt... a sense of unfamiliarity towards such intimate actions, and a feeling of repulsion.

"Great Grandpa indeed guessed right." Ye Xuan sighed softly, no longer speaking.

"What’s wrong?" Luo Ye suddenly raised her head, "Are you saying... are you saying this feeling of mine is related to my physical condition?"

"Great Grandpa knew I was coming back from a business trip today, and he specifically called me to come to him first before seeing you." After a pause, Ye Xuan continued, "Ye’er, there’s a saying that good things take time, and I believe we’ll definitely be happy."

"Is my condition going to get worse?" Luo Ye’s brows furrowed, "Didn’t Great Grandpa say that at most, in three months, I’d be fine? Or is there something else that Great Grandpa’s hiding from me?"

"No, Great Grandpa isn’t hiding anything from you. It’s only after observing your condition in these past few days that he’s verified something—Dou Dou is not dead..."

"Really?" Luo Ye interrupted Ye Xuan, grabbing his arm in excitement and shaking it, "Where’s Dou Dou? Has Great Grandpa seen it?"

Seeing her so genuinely adorable and innocent, Ye Xuan’s lips curved slightly: "Silly girl, if Great Grandpa had seen it, he’d have told you already.

He deduced it from your physical condition. Haven’t you thought about it? Why was Dou Dou so smart? Great Grandpa said that in the laws of the world, everything happens for a reason.

Dou Dou was given to you by the heavens to help you through calamities. If it had expended itself back then, you wouldn’t be in your current state..."

Luo Ye interrupted him again: "So, is Dou Dou coming back soon?"

"This, we can’t be sure. We can only say that it’s awakened, and it became that way back then to save you. So now, it’s spiritually in tune with you.

Your sense of unfamiliarity with me is because of it, or to put it plainly, it hasn’t fully accepted me yet."

"I see." Luo Ye smiled delightfully, "So what you’re doing now is not making Dou Dou happy and keeping us apart, right?"

"You could interpret it that way. Spiritual birds hold grudges. I admit, I haven’t been good enough in the past." Ye Xuan smiled wryly.

"But where is it? I’ve searched every corner of that grove, several miles around, and there’s no trace of it. Even if it were unconscious, I should’ve found it, shouldn’t I?"

I’ve searched everywhere, bird nests, tree canopies; where could it be hiding? Surely it hasn’t burrowed underground, huh? Doesn’t this mean Song Qiu has a spirit too?"

"Where did all these spiritual things come from?" Ye Xuan chuckled and tapped her on the head lightly, "Song Qiu is just an ordinary dog, an ordinary smart dog."

"Then why is it so good with Dou Dou?"

"Animals can communicate with each other. Dou Dou probably feels lonely, so it deliberately plays with Song Qiu."

"Is that true or are you just guessing?"

"Guessing."

Luo Ye: "..."

Ye Xuan wrapped his arms around Luo Ye, his feelings complex.

According to Great Grandpa, Ye’er originally shouldn’t belong here, meaning there are some things about her that don’t belong to this time and space either.

Then, what type does Ye’er belong to? Will she one day leave him? He felt a deep sense of helplessness from within.

If one day Ye’er suddenly disappeared, and he could only watch with no way to help, what kind of torment would that be?

He asked Great Grandpa if it was possible to determine what was going on with Ye’er.

Great Grandpa said that with his cultivation, he couldn’t figure out what was going on with Ye’er, but he was very sure that Ye’er and some things of this time and space were contrary.

So, she encounters adversities that normal people wouldn’t, but inexplicably, she is always protected and can safely navigate through difficulties.

Such a statement made him anxious.

He already knew Ye’er had many mysteries, and regardless of the reason, he didn’t mind. He loved her and just wanted to protect her well, allowing her to live a happy and safe life.

He doesn’t like things beyond his capacity, things he can’t change despite his best efforts...

"I believe Dou Dou will be back soon, and I too can recover quickly." Sensing his worry, Luo Ye gently said, "I will be fine."

"I know." Though he replied this way, his expression remained tense.

Luo Ye sighed quietly inwardly; because of her rebirth, she didn’t deny many things outright. Since rebirth could happen, other things weren’t impossible either.

Thus, she accepted Dou Dou’s spirituality and Grandpa’s uniqueness.

She didn’t know if Grandpa could figure out what was going on with her, but she didn’t want Ye Xuan to live in fear.

However, she couldn’t tell him about this, nor did she have compelling evidence to reassure him; all she could do was let time reveal everything.

"Ye’er..." He hugged her tighter, his mind incredibly conflicted.

She gently patted his back and softly said, "Trust me, my sixth sense is strong; I can dodge any misfortune.

Also, I promise you that no matter what happens, I will prioritize personal safety, and in this life, I will be there for you through everything."

"Hmm." He responded, trying to suppress the bleakness in his heart, and then talked about work to her..., not because he was insensitive, but because he couldn’t make any intimate gestures at such times and make her uncomfortable.

Great Grandpa had already said, some current matters weren’t within her control.

Heaven doesn’t treat someone well without reason.

If things are too smooth, tests and challenges must accompany them, but the outcome will definitely be good; he believes in this verdict.

...

"Xiao Xuan, go to sleep."

"Great Grandpa, why are you up?" Since Luo Ye left, Ye Xuan had been sitting there silently. Seeing Great Grandpa come out of the bedroom, he quickly stood up to greet him, "I’m fine, don’t worry."

"Silly child, Ye’er is blessed, she will be okay, trust Great Grandpa." Grandpa assessed his great-grandson, letting out a gentle sigh, "Great Grandpa understands your worries, but some things, Great Grandpa can’t tell you too much, understand?"

"Understood." Ye Xuan nodded; wise men shouldn’t speak too much unnecessarily; he certainly doesn’t want anything bad to happen to Great Grandpa.

"Silly child, I’m not concerned for myself. Having lived this long, is there anything Great Grandpa can’t let go of?" Grandpa sighed, "Xiao Xuan, there are many things in life you have to experience yourself; telling you beforehand isn’t beneficial."
