Chapter 544: Forgiveness
Su Yi subconsciously turned back and saw nothing behind him.
His expression darkened. “Jiang Jing, I don’t know where you heard this from, but please leave now.”
“Teacher Su, you didn’t forget what happened back then, right?” Lu Sheng said lightly, “I’m sure you know very well why Li Xia committed suicide.”
“Please leave immediately. If not, don’t blame me for calling the police.”
Lu Sheng took out a stick of incense and lit it in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi did not know what she wanted to do. If not for his status as a teacher, he would have already kicked the two of them out.
“Come over.”
Lu Sheng waved behind him.
Su Yi frowned slightly. However, he was stunned the next second.
Li Xia looked at him expressionlessly and did not speak.
“How is that possible?”
After some time, Su Yi mumbled in disbelief.
Lu Sheng said lightly, “Teacher Su, this isn’t an illusion. She’s really here.”
She thought that Su Yi would be afraid. Unexpectedly, he suddenly stood up and walked to Li Xia.
He even reached out to touch her face, but was flung away by Li Xia in disgust.
“Xiaxia, it’s really you!”
Su Yi said with reddened eyes, “I’m glad to see you again!”
“Happy?” Li Xia smiled coldly. “You mean the opposite, right?”
“I didn’t!”
Su Yi wanted to pull her hand, but she dodged it.
He smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, “I only spoke out of anger back then because I was impatient from your pestering. Why did you…”
“Spoke out of anger?” Li Xia’s eyes narrowed. “You dare to say that you have nothing going on with Zhou Qing?”
“I didn’t!”
Su Yi shook his head. “I don’t know why she sent that message either, but I really have nothing to do with her.”
“How dare you lie to me when I’m already dead?!” Li Xia roared impatiently.
Su Yi wiped his tears and shook his head. “I’m really not lying to you. During the Dragon Boat Festival, I did bump into her at the city. She said that she and a friend wanted to shop at the night market in the city, but they didn’t bring their identity cards.”
“I brought my identity card back then. I thought that they were your friends, so I booked a room for them. I remember that her friend’s name was Zheng Fenfen. She’s also from your village.”
Li Xia did not believe him. “Then why did you say that you were together when I asked you with the information? You said that you liked Zhou Qing and wanted me to fulfill your wish?”
“The college entrance examination was nearing and I was under a lot of pressure. All the money was spent on the hospital bills. I didn’t have any living expenses and had to work part-time. I was very tired back then. Since you threw a tantrum, I said those words out of spite. I didn’t expect you to take them seriously!”
Su Yi suddenly squatted on the ground and wept.
“If I knew you would do something extreme, I wouldn’t have said those words. Sorry! Sorry!”
“I don’t believe you! I don’t believe you!” Li Xia shouted with a ferocious expression. “You must be afraid that I’ll kill you, that’s why you said that, right?!”
If what Su Yi said was true, wouldn’t she be too stupid?
No, she was already very stupid to commit suicide for a man.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Su Yi stood up and looked her in the eye. “If you don’t believe me, ask Zheng Fenfen and Zhou Qing. She was there too. Moreover, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come back.”
Lu Sheng observed Su Yi’s expression and realized that he did not seem to be lying.
But if he wasn’t lying, why would Zhou Qing send him such a message?
Su Yi suddenly hugged Li Xia and sobbed. “After you left, I changed schools. I didn’t see Zhou Qing again, and I didn’t have the time to ask her why she sent me that message. Xiaxia, I’m the one who harmed you. If you want my life, take me away. As long as I can be with you, so what if I die?”
When Chu Yan saw this scene, he immediately turned his head and his ears reddened.
However, Lu Sheng, who was immersed in her thoughts, did not notice.
Li Xia was stunned and seemed to be moved.
She had always believed that the two of them had betrayed her. However, Su Yi was telling her now that he was just speaking out of spite back then?
Could she believe his words? Should she?
“Xiaxia, you have to believe me!”
Su Yi rolled up his sleeve and took off his watch, revealing a hideous scar.
“Look, I wanted to follow you back then. If my mother hadn’t discovered it, I would have met you long ago.”
“But Xiaxia, I thought about it later. My parents only have me as their only son. They raised me up painstakingly. I can’t just leave!”
Li Xia sobbed and said, “But I’m the only daughter my parents have as well!”
“That’s why I brought them together.” Su Yi held her hand. “For the past two years, I’ve made some investments with my friends and earned some money. I bought a house and brought my parents, Uncle, and Aunt to the city.”
Li Xia was stunned. “Really?”
“Yes!” Su Yi nodded. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to see them now!”
As Su Yi spoke, he ignored Lu Sheng and Chu Yan and pulled Li Xia out.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly. “Teacher Su, if you go out like this, you won’t be able to see her in less than a few minutes.”
Su Yi stopped in his tracks and seemed to have just realized that there was someone else in the room.
He looked at Lu Sheng with a complicated gaze and said in a low voice, “Jiang Jing, follow me.”
Lu Sheng nodded and pulled Chu Yan out with them.
Su Yi drove the three of them away from the school.
It was afternoon and there were a lot of cars on the road.
After about an hour, they successfully entered a small district.
The car stopped in front of a three-storey villa.
The door was open, and conversation could be heard from inside.
After alighting, Su Yi held Li Xia’s hand and walked in front. Lu Sheng and Chu Yan followed behind them.
Two middle-aged couples were sitting in the room. They were playing cards.
Seeing the three of them enter, the woman standing opposite the door stood up and asked Su Yi happily,
“Xiao Yi, don’t you have class in the afternoon? Why are you back?”
When the other three heard the woman’s voice, they also turned their heads.
“Hello, Uncles, Aunts. We’re Brother Yi’s students.”
The moment Lu Sheng entered, she greeted the four of them sweetly.
“Oh, so you’re Xiao Yi’s student. Take a seat!”
The four of them did not continue playing cards and invited them to take their seats.
Su Yi looked at Lu Sheng suspiciously, as if asking why they did not have any reaction when they saw Li Xia?
As for Li Xia, she called out ‘Father’ and ‘Mother’ with tears in her eyes, but no one cared about her.
Lu Sheng smiled and sat at the side with Chu Yan. She did not intend to answer Su Yi’s doubts.
“Have you all eaten? Why don’t I cook noodles for you?” Mother Su asked.
“No need, Mother. We’ve already eaten.”
Su Yi glanced at Lu Sheng.
Li Xia stood between Father Li and Mother Li in a daze. She looked at this and that, but they did not notice her at all.
Su Yi sighed softly and walked to her side. Then, he said to Father Li and Mother Li, “Uncle, Aunt, I… I brought Xiaxia back.”
When he said this, the room fell silent.
The four of them looked at each other before looking at him at the same time.
Father Su frowned and said, “Ah Yi, what nonsense are you saying?”
“I’m not spouting nonsense!” Su Yi shook his head firmly. “I really brought her back. She’s beside me now, but you can’t see her.”
“Why did this child suddenly start spouting nonsense?”
Everyone knew that Li Xia was not only Father Li and Mother Li’s taboo, but also Su Yi’s taboo.
Hence, Father Su and Mother Su did not dare to mention it casually at home.
Especially after Su Yi was rescued after committing suicide, even his relatives and friends did not dare to mention Li Xia in front of him.
It had been more than five years. Why did he suddenly mention it?
“Child, is your teacher possessed? Did you send him back?”
Mother Li asked Lu Sheng and Chu Yan.
Unexpectedly, Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “Teacher is telling the truth.”
As she spoke, she took out another incense stick and lit it.
After a while, Mother Li let out a ‘ha’ and looked at Su Yi in a daze.
The others looked over.
“Xia… Xiaxia!”
Mother Su was also shocked and looked at Li Xia in a daze.
“Meiqin!”
Father Li exclaimed. Lu Sheng looked over and realized that Mother Li had fainted.
“Mother!”
Li Xia also ran over and cried. “Mother, wake up. I’m here to see you!”
“Xiaxia, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?” Father Li hugged his wife and asked Li Xia sympathetically.
Li Xia shook her head and smiled while crying. “I don’t have any unfulfilled wishes. I just can’t bear to leave you!”
“What… What happened?”
Mother Su took a few deep breaths before asking Su Yi.
Su Yi looked at Lu Sheng and said, “It should be related to the incense in my student’s hand.”
When the others heard that, they looked at Lu Sheng, but she still smiled indifferently.
“Xiaxia, Xiaxia!”
Mother Li woke up faintly again. She suddenly held Li Xia’s hand tightly and sobbed. “Are you back?”
“Yes, I came back to visit you!”
“My daughter!”
Looking at the Li Xia from six years ago, Mother Li could not help but cry.
Soon, except for Lu Sheng and Chu Yan, everyone in the room was crying and wiping their tears. The scene became a little pessimistic.
“Xiaxia, do you believe me now?”
Su Yi looked at her and said, “I swear that I really didn’t betray you back then! If I didn’t say those words in a moment of anger, you wouldn’t have died.”
All these years, if not for the four elders supporting him, he might have long followed her.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of asking Zhou Qing about what happened back then. However, later on, he felt that there was no point in asking.
After all, Xiaixia was no longer around. Moreover, he was the main culprit.
He had no right to blame anyone!
“I don’t blame you anymore!” Li Xia stood up and smiled at him with tears in her eyes. “Thank you, Ah Yi. From now on, I’ll leave my parents to you!”
As she spoke, her body gradually became transparent.
“No!” Su Yi hurried forward and wanted to hug her, but his hand passed through her.
“Xiaxia!”
With everyone’s sorrowful calls, Li Xia disappeared immediately.
Lu Sheng and Chu Yan could still see her, but the others could not.
This was the result of lighting incense. If one was a human, their lifespan would decrease. If one was a ghost, their soul power would gradually weaken.
She could have used Su Yi’s lifespan to fill it, but she was unwilling.
“Jiang Jing, let me see her again. One look, just one look!”
Su Yi looked at Lu Sheng and spoke humbly.
However, Lu Sheng shook her head.
“You can’t meet again. If you continue to meet, her soul will really dissipate. Then, she won’t be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation.”
Su Yi fell to the ground in despair, as if he had lost his life.
Lu Sheng sighed and shook her head.
If he had known earlier, why did he do this in the first place?
They were clearly in love, but they lost in mistrust.
If Su Yi could have explained things to Li Xia back then, they would not have ended up in this state where they were separated by life and death.
It could only be said that fate had its own way.
Later on, Li Xia’s soul was brought to the Netherworld by the Soul Luring Messenger.
Lu Sheng and Chu Yan returned to school to continue their lessons, while Su Yi applied for leave from school.
A week later, Lu Sheng saw a famous article on the Internet.
The content of the article was like this:
I killed my friend. This secret, I buried for six years.
Ever since she died, I left that city.
I didn’t continue studying. I was afraid that person would question me. I was also afraid to see my friend’s family.
I called her then, only to find her phone with him.
Hence, I had a plan and deliberately sent him an ambiguous message to create the scene of us being together for a long time.
Actually, we had never been together. She was basically there when I was with him.
He was handsome, had a good personality, and was exceptionally good to her. He also took good care of us, his friends.
I fell in love with him at the same time as her, but he confessed to her.
All those years, I cursed them almost every day to break up early.
But I didn’t think a text could really kill someone.
When I heard the news of her death, I was dumbfounded.
I was afraid and blamed myself. I even wanted to pay with my life for her, but I didn’t dare!
I really didn’t think of killing her. I grew up with her. The only thing that made me jealous was that she could have his love, but I couldn’t!
I sent this today because my retribution has arrived.
I was diagnosed with lung cancer not long ago. My health seems to be getting worse. I feel like I’m getting closer to seeing her.
I hope that she will not meet a friend like me in her next life. However, I still want to see her and apologize to her personally!
XX, I’ve let down your kindness and trust. I’m sorry!
The article ended here two days ago.
Lu Sheng could not help but sigh.
It could only be said that heaven is bound to return and punish evil doers.
No!
Lu Sheng suddenly remembered that Li Xia said that the person was called Zhou Qing.
That person’s surname was Zhou, and so was Zhou Mei’s. Was it a coincidence, or were the two of them related?
“Zhou Mei, why have you been so unhappy the past two days?”
Just as Lu Sheng was feeling suspicious, Lan Jia suddenly asked Zhou Mei.
