Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 324 Our Past

After hearing this, Yun Jixing's eyes suddenly became moist. Even though so much time had passed, he couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to cry when he heard about Yu Ru's past experience. He was stunned for a moment and said: "Aru, I'm sorry for you. In my last life, I didn't let you live a good life. You suffered with me. In this life, I didn't find you earlier and let you live a good life quickly. Seeing that your spleen and stomach are so bad now, my heart aches."

Yu Ru raised her hand to wipe the tears from his eyes, a hint of confusion in her eyes. She picked up her phone and typed the text-to-speech message: "Don't regret our belated love, don't feel sad about my past suffering, because good days aren't given by others, you have to fight for them. It doesn't matter if you come to me earlier or later. Even if you come to me earlier, I may not be able to be with you or live with you."

Yun Jixing nodded. "Aru, you're right. You're right. With or without me, your life will be fine. But I still feel sorry for you. If I had gone to find you when you were in high school, would you have avoided so many bad things?"

Yu Ru typed the text-to-speech message on her phone: "I'm a boarding student, and my high school curriculum is very intense. You can't do anything to me even if you come to see me. Furthermore, the school has very strict controls on outsiders. It's inconvenient to reveal your identity, and coming to me would be risky. So don't feel bad about this."

While this passage was being read aloud automatically, Yu Ru gently wiped Yun Jixing's face with her sleeve.

After this segment finished playing, she entered the text-to-speech reading: "Those things in high school don't matter anymore. I want to know what happened after we got married. How hard was our past life? It makes you cry just thinking about it. Wasn't your family very rich? Then they went completely bankrupt? You can't even take out a dime?"

"Yes, my family was destroyed, and I was the only one left alive. Yun Xuezhongkai had joined forces with a family as powerful as the Yun family, as well as several other wealthy and powerful families to siege us. Not only my family, but also the aunts, housekeepers, bodyguards, doctors, and all the other staff were implicated. Some died, and some were injured."

Yu Ru looked surprised and typed the text-to-speech reading on her phone: "Is it that serious? So you're living on the streets?"

Yun Jixing shook his head. "We're not homeless, we still have a place to live, but compared to our childhood, we're definitely poorer. When we got married, I only gave you three things as a betrothal gift: 520 million yuan in betrothal money, an apartment, and two shops. Nothing else. That's all I have. I really can't give you a penny more. In the first year of our marriage, you were the one who took care of the household chores. It wasn't until the second year that we hired two aunts to come back and help. In short, you've suffered with me."

Yu Ru:(?_? )

Yu Ru had expected life to be incredibly difficult, but she hadn't expected a house and shop, and a betrothal gift of several million. To her, this wasn't even close to poverty or hardship. She'd even considered marrying Yun Jixing, the two of them constantly paying off car and mortgage payments, scrimping on groceries and even skimping on meat. She hadn't expected such a carefree life, with two aunties taking care of her daily needs.

Yu Ru typed the text-to-speech message on her phone: "Have you had too many good days? Where's the hardship here? Being able to come up with one million in cash is already impressive, let alone over five million. Stop feeling guilty about not giving me a good life in my past life. In my opinion, our past lives weren't even close to suffering. Pain was truly a constant companion. But thank you for caring for me and loving me. Everyone died before, but now is the present, and we're all still alive. Don't feel bad about everyone dying before."

After reading the last sentence, Yu Ru took the initiative to hug Yun Jixing and snuggled into his arms.

Yun Jixing hugged her back, gently stroking her back, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Ah Ru, even if it's not hard, I can't let you die of illness at the age of forty. You are so good, it's only right that I love you. From now on, I will only love you even more."

Yu Ru stroked Yun Jixing's eyebrows, stared at him for a while, and then typed the text into the voice-over on her phone and read it aloud: I died at the age of forty, so when did you die?

"Forty-six years old. I died four years after you died." Yun Jixing said with a smile.

Yu Ru typed the text into the voice-over on her phone and read: How could you die so early?

"I committed suicide. There was a loquat tree in our backyard, and I hung myself with a rope. I put my neck on it and hanged myself. I asked Xiaochuan to collect my body. There's no one at home. You're the only one left, my wife and I. You said you were gone, so what's the point of me living?" Yun Jixing closed his eyes, frowning slightly. "The first year after you left me, I couldn't eat. Thinking of you made me want to vomit. One time, for some reason, I vomited blood. My heart meridians were damaged, and my health started to decline."

"Aru, do you know? Back then, every night when I went to sleep, I would always hear you calling me through the stars, but when I looked over, you weren't there. Only your picture was lying next to me. It was so painful, so painful that my heart ached, it felt like it was going to split and shatter."

When he finished speaking, Yun Jixing could no longer control his emotions and tears burst out.

Yu Ru typed the text-to-speech message on her phone: "Why is my photo lying next to you? Am I a spirit?"

After this sentence started playing, she used a quilt to wipe Yun Jixing's tears.

Yun Jixing, who had been immersed in sadness, suddenly laughed when he heard her words. "Hahaha, Aru, why are you so humorous? It's not that you appeared in spirit, but after you left, I always slept with your photo."

Yu Ru also grinned, and as she laughed, she shed tears. The scenes that Yun Jixing described were indeed very sad. She continued to communicate with him using the text-to-speech function on her phone: Don’t we have children?

Speaking of children, Yun Jixing's expression became sad again. "I had one, but I didn't give birth. I miscarried when I was a little over a month old. Because of that miscarriage, it was more difficult for you to get pregnant. Although you recovered later, having a child was still difficult. You had to take good care of yourself. The care was very troublesome. You had to take injections and medicine. You didn't like it, and I didn't want you to go through that pain, so we didn't have any more children."

Yu Ru input the text-to-speech content on her mobile phone: How could a miscarriage happen?

"I don't know how it turned out like this. We always took safety precautions, so we didn't think we'd get pregnant. We also had sex frequently when we were pregnant, which made the fetus unstable." Yun Jixing sighed and continued, "We were young then, and had just gotten married. We were both crazy, and we had sex day and night without restraint. It was either you or I, and one time we even lasted until dawn. I later wondered which time it was that made you pregnant. I guess it was the time when we lasted all night. It was the only time that lasted that long. We slept when we were tired, and continued when we woke up, not resting until we really didn't have the strength to open our eyes at dawn. Maybe we were too excited later, too tired and a little confused, so we forgot to take precautions. As a result, it was such a coincidence that we got pregnant the first time."

Yu Ru:((???|||))
