Chapter 303 - 303 WU JINHAI... DIED?
Bai Chen was just thinking about the man, and the man suddenly appeared right in front of him. He was sure that he was currently far away from the Xinyang Imperial Palace, and that man wasn’t even in the palace when he left the palace today, so Bai Chen was very surprised by the man’s sudden appearance.
However, he wasn’t going to lie that his heart was pounding wildly inside his chest when Wu Jinhai suddenly came at him as if the man knew that he was frightened when he was alone in the forest.
Even if he remembered what happened to him in this world before he finally killed himself in the Forbidden Forest, he still felt connected to Wu Jinhai, and that was why his heart trembled slightly when he once again saw the man.
It was as if he could only rely on the man at the moment, and he was even nervously clenching his white robe as he was nervous about what he should do when the man was close enough to him at the moment.
“What are you doing here, Wu Jinhai?” Bai Chen finally managed to form a few words to question the man in red.
There was still ten feet of distance between them, and somehow Wu Jinhai didn’t immediately eliminate the distance as if he hesitated to do so.
And even after the man in red heard his question, the man was silent for a while as if trying to find the best answer for him. However, that wasn’t long before the man finally voiced an answer, “I’ve been looking for you. Now I’m happy that I found you here.”
After replying, Wu Jinhai finally closed the distance between them, and in no time, the man was only three feet away from Bai Chen.
.....
Bai Chen wished the man would walk closer to him, but it seemed that the man was still hesitating about something, and that was why he chose to keep some distance between them.
Did Wu Jinhai know that he was now angry with him?
Bai Chen didn’t know, but he also didn’t want to erase the distance between them as he said, “Why are you trying to find me? You’ll only betray me, so why are you even trying to find me?”
Bai Chen knew that Wu Jinhai didn’t know that he had experienced another life with him before he died and was reincarnated into another world, but he still spoke harshly to the man as if the man standing in front of him was indeed going to betray him just like he did in his previous life.
After he deliberately spoke so rudely to the man, he could once again see how speechless the man was. It was already night, and that was why Wu Jinhai also needed to rely on his golden eyes to see in the dark. At this time, Wu Jinhai’s pair of golden eyes stared at his blue eyes silently, but the man still didn’t give an answer, probably feeling confused by what he just said.
“Why did you say that I would betray you?” A reply finally came from Wu Jinhai. “I’ve always been sincere to you, and I have no plans to betray you. If I did plan to betray you, then I wouldn’t be trying to find you here.”
“…” This time, it was Bai Chen who fell silent after receiving the black-haired man’s reply.
Bai Chen had always hated himself for being so timid when it came to Wu Jinhai. Even when he found out that the man lied to him about his identity from the start, Bai Chen eventually forgave the man and returned to the man’s arms, and that was why he hated himself for being too soft-hearted when it came to Wu Jinhai.
But now that he finally remembered what Wu Jinhai had done to him in his previous life, he didn’t want to let himself fall into Wu Jinhai’s trap so easily.
“Leave me alone,” Bai Chen replied coldly. “What you’re telling me is just a part of your act, right? You have a goal you want to achieve, so you keep pretending in front of me. When you don’t need me anymore, you’ll just throw me away as if I’m just some useless trash.”
Bai Chen didn’t want to easily concede this time, and he even planned to leave the man without even waiting for the man’s response. However, before he could take his first step, the man in red suddenly dropped his knees on the ground, and Bai Chen was startled by it.
“I’m sorry,” Wu Jinhai suddenly apologized as he knelt in front of Bai Chen. “I don’t understand why you keep saying that I would betray you, but maybe it was my fault that you misunderstood. That’s why I sincerely apologize to you, but please don’t leave me. I won’t be able to continue living if you’re not by my side.”
Bai Chen was stunned, and his heart constricted when he saw how Wu Jinhai knelt miserably in front of him. He still remembered how Wu Jinhai used to be a man with high pride. Even when he pretended to be Zhu Ge, the man still wouldn’t kneel in front of him easily, and that showed how much pride he had.
But now the black-haired man suddenly bowed in front of him as if he was very desperate, and Bai Chen really wanted to forget the hatred in his heart when he saw how Wu Jinhai’s pair of golden eyes began to lose their light.
He just realized the possibility that his previous life and his current life might not be the same. In his past life, he had no system in his head, and everything ended while he was still in the Forbidden Forest.
But after he returned to this world, he managed to stay alive after coming out of the Forbidden Forest, and that showed that the two lives he had were indeed different, right?
Bai Chen only just realized it, and he finally took two steps forward before bending his body forward as he was about to hug Wu Jinhai’s body to show that he was willing to give the man another chance.
However, before he could do that, a sword suddenly pierced through Wu Jinhai’s back and even pierced through the man’s chest.
