People Do Not Return (part 1)

It seemed to be getting dark.

All the colors of the world were dissipating in his eyes.

This is impossible.

This must be false.

–If Mo Ren knows what will happen in the future, then doesn't that mean...

When this terrifying idea emerged from his mind, Chu Yan didn't even dare to think about it. He wanted to try his best to deny it–maybe Ah Ren made a mistake for a while, maybe it was just a coincidence...

However, what became clear at the same time was what he noticed after his rebirth. The Mo Ren that was either terrified, reticent, humble, or his silent eyes that left him nowhere to go.

Those things that Chu Yan once doubted, but ignored unintentionally or intentionally, were now all turned into cold iron evidence and it tightly wrapped around his heart, almost causing his heart to bleed every inch.

If this is true...what the hell has he done!?

Ditched Mo Ren to pretend to be intimate with Bai Hua? Sealing his acupoints with caution? And knowing his pain but still being indifferent and driving him back?

Chu Yan began to tremble. His fingers were still on the edge of the stone table, but they were convulsing uncontrollably.

What is this?

Just when he came back and was reborn, he secretly decided that in this life he must make up for what he owed Ah Ren in his previous life; when he was sharing the same bed last night, he coaxed the guard not to be afraid; and just this morning before leaving, he wrapped the man in his arms and said that he would treasure him well in the future.

But now, what is this...  

It's so ridiculous.

"Big Brother Chu!" Bai Hua saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly came around to help him from the other side, "You...what's wrong with you? Why does your face look so bad all of a sudden..…”

Chu Yan's head was dizzy, and his chest was cold and hot. He suddenly felt that Bai Hua's beloved fragrance from his previous life was so disgusting that he wanted to vomit. He pushed Bai Hua away in a daze, and when he opened his mouth, he actually spit out a mouthful of dirty blood.

Bai Hua slammed into the stone table with a scream, and the expensive tea set shattered to the ground, causing the little beauty's expression to change drastically, "Big Brother Chu!?"

Chu Yan's breathing was disordered, he ignored the blood on the corner of his mouth, and just stared at Bai Hua, his eyes were full of red tiny veins. The first time he moved his lips and throat, however it was too dry to make a sound, the second time he said hoarsely, "Get lost......"

He staggered and turned around, his eyes blank, his face ashen like a living dead.

Clearly, a moment ago, he secretly warned himself that he must endure. But those assumptions, those plans…..In an instant, it was like a tall building collapsing, rumbling and crumbling into a pile of ruins.

He wanted to escape from here quickly, he wanted to go back…..to escape from this present world that was burned to ashes by his own hands, and return to the past where there was no slightest shadow or pain.

But where can he go back? It turned out that when he felt smug that he had gone back, it was clear that everything was irretrievable...

It turns out that there is clearly no room for the "future" between him and Ah Ren.

Chu Yan was stunned by the pain for a moment, and he used his lightness skill without turning his head. In an instant, his figure had gone away, disappearing into the pear forest like a black dragon falling into the sea.

Bai Hua became terrified, and stood in place for a while before pulling his feet to run after him. But he only saw thousands of trees shaking off their fragrant flowers, and that the figure had already disappeared in the distance, where could he still catch up?

****

That night, the Jiuzhong Palace was brightly lit and was in a mess.

The Palace Master and Young Master Bai Hua went out for a spring outing, not only had the Palace Master not returned yet, but he was also missing, not even a message was sent.

Everyone waited until the sun setted, and then the moon rose, but they still didn't see the Palace Master coming back.

Bai Hua's eyes turned red from crying, but when asked, he knew nothing. He only said that the Palace Master suddenly lost control of his emotions and vomited blood, which seemed to be a sign of being possessed. He couldn't stop him, and he didn't know what to do, thus he could only watch the person disappear.

The patrolling guards were sent in several runs, but still no news came back, and everyone was worried.

The Palace Master was fine when he went out in the morning, how could he suddenly be possessed!?

After practicing martial arts to the level of Chu Yan, it was absolutely impossible for him to easily make any mistakes out of misfortune, it was either because he suddenly suffered a stimulus that caused a mental breakdown, or he was framed by a traitor.
