Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2015  Fate

Nan Hua looked at Yan Jin Nian and then said, "You speak as if I would live very badly in the future."

Yan Jin Nian laughed and shook her head. "I can't see how it'll end, so I'm giving my wish for your future."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and nodded, accepting Yan Jin Nian's well wishes. Anyway, it was not like she could do anything else either.

The two of them sat there, seemingly waiting for something yet at the same time, also enjoying the quietness of this world. It was only temporary.

And the two of them knew that.

Nan Hua was resting and will be awake at time she didn't know. So much time must have passed and Nan Hua didn't know what she had missed. But she believed that it would be alright. Believe…

The corner of her lips curled up slightly. If it was before, Nan Hua knew very well that she trusted herself more than trusting others. Because she didn't want to risk her life and thus would not put her fate in the hands of others as much as possible. But after coming to this world, she seemed to learn how to care about others more than herself. Not only that, she has learned to trust them and to put her life in their hands, something that she would have never done before. 'For the thought to cross my mind and even done, I guess I've changed.'

In this space, Nan Hua had nothing to do but to talk with Yan Jin Nian. And in this silence, she was thinking about her recent action and felt a bit amused.

It was only now she realized how much she has changed.

If she was told that she would make this kind of action to herself who had only came to this world, she was sure that she would only stare at herself and said that it's impossible. Because her previous life had made it that way. Nan Hua looked at the darkness around her. For some reasons, she felt that these darkness seemed to slowly dissipate and there was faint light in the previously dark space.

She could also see Yan Jin Nian more clearly. "Well, our time is not much here." Yan Jin Nian shrugged. "And I come here more because of curiosity towards you, Hua'er."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. She didn't expect Yan Jin Nian would call her so closely like that. Even if they were going to cooperate in the future, <more like, her future since it was already the past for the current Yan Jin Nian> It was unlikely the two of them could become so close.

But seeing Yan Jin Nian's earnest expression, Nan Hua didn't say anything else. She was just thinking. "Do you have anything you want to ask?"

"Yes." Yan Jin Nian nodded. She hesitated for a moment and then asked, "<If you have a chance for a happy ending in your previous life, would you take it?>"

Nan Hua looked at Yan Jin Nian with a strange look.

She thought that Yan Jin Nian would ask her some questions related to their current timeline and world. But who would have thought that Yan Jin Nian would ask that kind of question?

"It depends." Nan Hua tilted her head. "<If you ask the current me, then yes, I'll definitely take it, but…>"

Nan Hua didn't immediately answer.

<She knew better than anyone what kind of person she used to be and how much of a loner she was. It was not very good, but Nan Hua knew that she would rather rely on herself rather than trusting others. Whenever she made a plan, she would definitely be prepared to be betrayed and the other plans that others will never know.>

<Because it was how she was trained and raised. For her, it was normal for them all to only think about their own goal and once their goal was achieved, there was nothing that would stop them from abandoning the others.>

Nan Hua looked at Yan Jin Nian. "Don't you already know the answer for that question?"

Yan Jin Nian looked at Nan Hua and sighed. As a person who was used to look at a person's face and also various other things, Yan Jin Nian knew very well that what Nan Hua said was the truth. She could guess what Nan Hua was thinking to a certain degree with her reaction. Even though Nan Hua was more or less an expressionless person, when she was talking about this question, she didn't purposely hide her reactions. So Yan Jin Nian has some guesses on her own. She sighed deeply. Looking at the darkness that started to change, Yan Jin Nian also knew that their time here was almost over. "Is there anything else you want to ask?" Nan Hua asked. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Yan Jin Nian chuckled. "Shouldn't you be the one asking me some questions too?"

Nan Hua shook her head. "I'll still meet with the <present Yan Jin Nian> when I come out later, so there's no need."

Hearing that, Yan Jin Nian nodded. Well, it was also true.

Besides, even if they did ask various questions to each other, there was no guarantee that the other party will definitely answer their question. After all, they didn't have the obligation to answer. "I'll be going now."

Nan Hua looked at the light in front of her and nodded at Yan Jin Nian. She felt that this light was here for her and that her time in this dark world was over. Either the war should have ended…

Or there was some other unforeseen circumstances. Either way, it was time for her to wake up. Yan Jin Nian nodded at Nan Hua. "Be careful on your way out."

"I'm always careful."

At Nan Hua's blunt answer, Yan Jin Nian chuckled. She watched Nan Hua's back and sighed slightly. She was such a small girl, yet her back felt really reassuring. Yan Jin Nian muttered, "I wish you happiness and long life, Hua'er."
