Chapter 64: Emotion, Causes Calamities

The war had reached stalemate, then the news of Duan Xinghui having died in battle came from the front lines. Jiahui was stunned by the news. Following that, she refused to eat or drink. In the end, the Emperor couldn't bear to watch it anymore and forced her to start eating again. However, Jiahui was suffering from heartbreak and her health continued to degrade.

She missed Duan Xinghui intensely and even considered shaving her head and becoming a nun. Those who pa.s.s away would forever remain in the hearts of those who still lived. Moreover, the scar in the heart would only become deeper, until nothing could replace them.

However, not long after that, the dead Duan Xinghui came back to life and returned to the capital, with a woman.

When Ning Shu got to this part, she already came to understand the entire development. This arrogant pampered princess had become the cannon fodder for the true love between the general and that girl.

Ning Shu gave a deep sigh, feeling sincere sympathy for the original host. The single word, 'emotion', had caused all the calamity.

The storyline afterwards was just about how Jiahui was unwilling to accept it and insisted on causing trouble for the two. She used her power as a princess in all sorts of ways to attack this country b.u.mpkin that had crawled out from some random corner.

What astonished Jiahui was the fact that the man she took to be very steady and earnest would become very stirred up when it came to matters that pertained to that village girl. He would angrily roar and shout like an immature youngster. For the sake of that village girl, he defied the imperial edict and even publicly declared that he would only love that woman his entire life.

Jiahui felt as if she had been slapped, it made her face burn. She practically became the laughingstock of all of Great Yong. The n.o.ble princess actually lost to a village girl. She couldn't accept it. Who did that girl count as? She was a princess. The pride of a princess wouldn't allow her to lose like this.

Hence, Jiahui retaliated against the village girl and everyone started criticizing her, saying that she was malicious, saying that she caused the Yong dynasty to lose face. Even the Emperor became disappointed in her.

Jiahui simply caused even more of a disturbance until everyone in the streets were talking about how a princess was trying to s.n.a.t.c.h another person's man. Jiahui's reputation only grew worse.

Then, the barbaric Huns just happened to win the war and delightedly asked for a marriage. The Emperor was truly disappointed in this sister of his, so he wrapped her up and sent her away.

It had clearly been Duan Xinghui's fault that the war situation reversed. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to make thoughtless large moves in order to show off, he wouldn't have fallen for a scheme that people of the Central Plain viewed as nothing but crude. Now they wanted her to get married so they could have a happy life together?

Jiahui was a very delicate and pampered princess. Moreover, she had injured her heart while mourning for Duan Xinghui. Now, she had to head to a very poor environment, a place that didn't even treat women as humans.

Jiahui's status as a princess didn't bring her any benefits, and even caused these barbarous people to bully her even more. She was simply a spoil of war. The Huns were vicious and would hit women on the slightest pretext.

The life she lived was worse than death. Jiahui's heart turned numb and her flower-like countenance became corroded by the sandy wind. She lived numbly. She didn't know what she had done wrong.

The original host's wishes: One, she didn't want to love that cruel and unscrupulous Duan Xinghui anymore. Two, she wanted make those two lowly people suffer and pay for what they did. Three, she wanted to be a n.o.ble and lofty princess. She didn't want to ever allow anything to sully her again, she didn't want to disappoint her Imperial Older Brother, she didn't want to be bestowed in marriage, she didn't want to go to that savage place, she didn't want to be humiliated and insulted by people.

Ning Shu: …

In the end, this girl still couldn't let go of that matter. Duan Xinghui was the origin of all of Jiahui's sorrows. He was like the key that opened Pandora's box.

What caused Ning Shu to be a little speechless was the fact that she had entered the story a bit late. Right now, news had already spread of Duan Xinghui's death. Jiahui refused to eat and drink out of heartache. She practically had the intention of dying to follow after him.

At this point, Jiahui had already gotten involved with Duan Xinghui.

Chapter 65: Lin Jiajia's After Story (1)

Lin Jiajia lifted her head from the school desk, her eyes a bit glazed. She looked towards the front and saw that the teacher's mouth was moving. Her head felt very heavy and dizzy.

Lin Jiajia reflexively looked towards the seat in front of her. The woman she hated most was really no longer there. Could it be that she was dreaming? Or did all the things in the dream actually happen?

Ling Xue had truly disappeared from her life.

The person in the dream was her, yet it also wasn't her. She had watched as everything occured.

The bell that signaled the end of cla.s.s rang. Lin Jiajia stood up from her seat and the three-legged desk immediately fell to the ground. This would originally be a very embarra.s.sing moment, yet for some reason, Lin Jiajia's heart was very calm as she unhurriedly lifted the desk back up.

Everyone around only glanced at her before s.h.i.+fting their eyes away. They didn't pay much attention to her, unlike before. Their att.i.tudes of hate and ridicule had already changed into disinterest.

When An Rong, who used to bully her, met her gaze, she simply turned away with a humph. Lin Jiajia became even more bewildered. Could it be that everything she had seen in the dream had been real?

Right at this moment, two men suddenly carried a desk into the cla.s.sroom. This desk was brand new. They walked to Lin Jiajia and placed the desk in front of her seat.

"What are you guys doing?" asked Lin Jiajia. Her desk had broken a long time ago. It had been messed around with, slashed with a knife, and even had a leg removed.

"This is the school's arrangement. Your desk is broken so of course it must be replaced," replied one of the school staff.

Lin Jiajia's lips twitched. Why hadn't they thought of it earlier if that was the case? However, Lin Jiajia knew her current situation and could only say, "Thanks."

"I was the one that had them replace your desk." Leng Ao had his hands in his pockets as he walked to Lin Jiajia. Then he proceeded to look down on her from above.

When Lin Jiajia saw Leng Ao, she reflexively started to knit her brows. Even she felt a bit puzzled by her reaction. Logically speaking, she should have been very excited and happy to see Leng Ao, why was her heart filled with such dislike? It wasn't possible.

"What do you mean by this?" Lin Jiajia didn't know why, but her hands itched. She really wanted to fight with Leng Ao and use a shoulder throw on him.

Leng Ao frowned. "You're not happy? I prepared a new desk for you."

"Thanks," said Lin Jiajia indifferently as she tilted her head back to look at Leng Ao. He was tall with very handsome looks and bright eyes that seemed like stars.

It was the first time she had ever been so close to Leng Ao, yet she didn't feel excited at all.

"Are you satisfied with this desk?" Leng Ao saw that Lin Jiajia was examining him. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little nervous. As he spoke, he touched the bridge of his nose.

"Oh, thanks," said Lin Jiajia.

Leng Ao lifted his chin and asked, "Last time, I said that you could be my girlfriend. Have you finished considering it?"

Girlfriend? When had that happened? Lin Jiajia scoffed. She didn't remember that at all. So many things have gone off the rails. Ling Xue had disappeared, and now Leng Ao actually wanted her to be his girlfriend.

These were all things that she hadn't even dared to fantasize about in the past. To become Leng Ao's girlfriend? Lin Jiajia hesitated and didn't speak.

The hope in Leng Ao's eyes dimmed a little, but he said, "Since you're not replying, I'm going to take that as you agreed. From now on, you're one of my people."

"I haven't agreed. Leng Ao, please don't decide on your own initiative," said Lin Jiajia coldly. Eh? When had she been able to speak with such indifference and force?

Leng Ao's facial color changed. His expression was a little angry and also a little hurt.

Lin Jiajia walked around him and left the cla.s.sroom. She felt a bit confused. How did the world change so much after she took a nap?
