Chapter 836: Will You Wait for Me?
Chapter 836: Will You Wait for Me?
Nan Hua shook her head then looked at the jade in her hand. Compared to the smooth rabbit that Long Qian Xing made, hers was rather crude. However, the shape was still pretty good.She turned the jade around and showed it to Long Qian Xing.
“For Brother Long.”
A pig jade.
The corner of Long Qian Xing’s lips twitched when he saw the pig. He knew that his current identity was born in the pig year, but did he really have to receive a pig jade from his girl? Did he really look like a pig?
Long Qian Xing would have liked it more to be compared to a dog rather than a pig. At the very least, he felt that a dog could move faster than a pig.
Feeling a bit remorseful, Long Qian Xing sighed and took the pig jade from Nan Hua. He looked at the amateurish carving of the little girl and noticed that she had also made a small hole at the back of the pig. The size was just right for him to put the chain to make necklace.
“Hua’er is talented.” Long Qian Xing smiled as he picked the other chain he had prepared. He naturally had more than one in case it was necessary.
“It’s not as good as Brother Long.” Nan Hua looked at the small rabbit. Even though the size was not bigger than half of her pinkie, it looked very cute and exquisite. At the same time, the surface was really smooth.
If one told her that this was made within an incense stick of time before this, she might be rather skeptical.
Long Qian Xing should just be a jade carver.
His original job seemed to be quite lackluster compared to this profession, especially when they saw the jade rabbit he made.
Long Qian Xing laughed lightly when he saw Nan Hua stared at the little rabbit. He felt that she was really like a little rabbit, which was really cute and soft. Slowly, Long Qian Xing picked the necklace and looked at Nan Hua with the end of the chain in each of his hand.
“May I?”
Nan Hua blinked her eyes and slowly pulled her hair to the side while turning around.
Long Qian Xing looked at the smooth and white skin in front of him and silently chanted some of the Buddhist sutra his grandmother forced him to copy back then in his heart. His hand moved and wore the small necklace to Nan Hua.
The color contrasted her smooth skin, making it look even more delicate.
‘The good thing is that I wouldn’t be able to see her for a few years.’
That was the only thing Long Qian Xing could do to console himself in his heart. Without seeing her directly, he would be able to wait patiently as the little girl grew up.
When Nan Hua turned around, Long Qian Xing had returned to normal. It was as if there was never any change in his expression as he smiled warmly to the young girl in front of him.
“Do you like it?”
“Mhm.”
The jade felt cool yet warm at the same time. It was a strange feeling that Nan Hua didn’t know how to describe. She looked at Long Qian Xing then at the pig necklace on the table.
“Will Brother Long keep it?”
“I will.” Long Qian Xing looked at the pig jade and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He really wanted to blame his transmigration that changed his birth Zodiac year that caused his little fiancée to make a pig for him.
Well, at least, it was quite cute.
Hmm, he would coax her to make him a dog jade in the future.
No matter what, he still felt more comfortable to relate himself to the one in the original world….
Was it because he was older there?
He was not totally sure.
“Brother Long.”
“Yes, Hua’er?” Long Qian Xing wore the necklace and silently vowed that he would keep it close to him all the time.
Nan Hua watched his action and there was some kind of strange feelings gathering inside her heart. It was not a familiar feeling for her and instead felt rather strange. However, the feeling only appeared for a flash and then disappeared once more before Nan Hua could properly inspect what it was.
“Will you change in the future too?”
Change?
Long Qian Xing furrowed his eyebrows then recalled the matter of Nan Hua’s father. His face turned a bit dark when he recalled what he read about Nan Shu Cheng’s matter. it was even more so when he read that he let such a young girl to hear what he was doing inside that room.
Was it really a good education a child should hear?
He looked at the young girl in front of him, his heart ached. If only he was there, he would close her ear and hugged her close to him so that she didn’t have to listen to what his father did and said to her mother.
How could a child bear to hear all of those words?
She hadn’t learned much of the world but already faced such negativity.
“I won’t,” Long Qian Xing answered solemnly. He could see the girl’s expression didn’t change. Probably, it would be hard for her to trust other people’s words again after what her father had done to her.
Even her own family members might have a hard time to get close to her initially.
“I promise. I’m different from him.”
Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and noticed his solemn expression. This was what he said but in the original story, he had fallen for the female lead. Would he end up falling for her in the end as well?
Nan Hua didn’t know.
And she was not going to stay here for a long period of time because of her future plan. Whether he changed or not would be something she could judge by herself when she returned.
She averted her eyes. “I’ll be going to Yi Shang Temple tomorrow, Brother Long. I’m going to stay there for a long period of time. Will you wait for me?”
Wait for her?
Long Qian Xing felt a bit amused because he knew that the one who go to the battlefield would be him. He nodded and said, “I will. No matter how long it’ll be, I’ll wait for you.”
“Okay.”
That was the promise between the two of them.
…
When Nan Hua went back, she realized that her cousin was already there. It seemed that Feng Ao Kuai was tired, but he still kept a stubborn look on his face.
“Did Grandfather beat you?”
“He didn’t dare to in case I’ll be wounded tomorrow.” Feng Ao Kuai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard his grandfather told him that he would be beating him up after the matter was over. In any case, it was an order from Nan Hua, so he didn’t mind at all.
“I see.”
Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Hua then added, “I have already prepared the carriage for tomorrow. However, it’ll be hard to escape from the prying ears of others. They might have already known that you will leave the Capital City tomorrow and prepare for the attack to your carriage.
I can prepare more guards if you want to so that you’ll be safer and didn’t have to use your martial arts. In addition, I can…”

As Feng Ao Kuai rambled on, Nan Hua was instead looking at Feng Ao Kuai.
If she was not wrong, Feng Ao Kuai only appeared for a short period of time in the novel. There was only one incident in which he appeared where he helped her and Nan Luo to escape.
But then they ultimately failed because Nan Family would not let her off.
And Nan Hua’s death also signified Feng Ao Kuai’s death.
The two of them were gone at the very same day and at a very close time frame to each other.
The original timeline was supposed to be a few more weeks, but because Nan Hua had changed some things and even hastened Luo Qing Wei’s arrival, she knew very well that Long Qian Xing would definitely left faster.
Some things had changed from the original course in the novel.
But it didn’t mean that the number of people who watched the Nan Family would disappear completely.
In fact, some of them were still alive and waiting.
‘I see now. What the original Nan Hua is thinking and why she ended up dead in the story.’ It was only slightly different from her current plan now after she had obtained the necessary information. Would the original Nan Hua be able to deduce everything without the help of people under her?
It would be impossible.
There was only one conclusion: the route she took with the original Nan Hua had many overlap. In other words, the two of them made many similar or even same choices that led to similar result.
