Chapter 1497 - 1496: It Should Be Years Later

Chapter 1497: Chapter 1496: It Should Be Years Later

At first glance, it sounded so unbelievable, inconceivable, that people from two different worlds could meet and even become lovers who would love each other to death. Could such a thing truly happen in this world?

However...

The fact that it was spoken by the two of them inevitably added a layer of credibility.

They all felt a bit dazed, even as if it was too fantastical.

Regarding past lives, Gu Tong didn’t have the courage to say it a second time and said, "I will only say the following once. If you don’t understand, I won’t explain it."

Li Yan and Gong Chenli immediately focused intently. It was the first time in their lives hearing such distant things, and it was personally told by the ones they loved to the depths of their souls. So, inexplicably, they obediently listened, just like good students eager to hear the teacher’s lecture.

They didn’t want to miss any details nor overlook anything about these two women.

To them, these two women were more important than their lives, naturally, they wanted to know everything about them.

Gu Tong had no intention of hiding anything. She exhaled a heavy breath and said, "The timing of the events should be years later..."

She spoke eloquently, quietly recounting past events that seemed like a nightmare, or as if they were separated by a lifetime. Telling them was genuinely heartbreaking.

Listening to Gu Tong’s unhidden words, Xia Xi bit her lower lip. Her body began to tremble unconsciously, occasionally supplementing a few words as Gu Tong spoke.

They had a strong rapport, and their voices began to alternate, each taking turns to recount the same event.

As they narrated the events, they inevitably felt nervous, yet amidst the tension, they felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if a heavy stone had gradually been laid down.

They didn’t know how long it took, but they finally finished speaking.

The two men in the hospital room were equally stunned.

Gong Chenli was the first to react and said, "Are you saying... you knew each other in your past lives, at the Sicuro Mafia?"

Xia Xi responded with a "Hmm," and said, "Xue Tong and I had a life-and-death friendship, so we were very close. Now you can understand."

However, understand? How to understand? Let alone understand...

Believing it, in itself, was an incredibly difficult thing.

For someone who doesn’t believe in the supernatural, how could they easily believe in such things?

Gong Chenli pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but the words he was about to utter were swallowed, making it impossible for him to speak.

He didn’t believe it, and that was his problem.

But their familiarity seemed like that of old friends, which could absolutely not be faked.

Two people with no connection, aside from this strange theory of past and present lives, what better explanation could there be?

Gong Chenli thought for a long time but couldn’t think of any other possibilities. This feeling made him very uncomfortable. He wanted to refute their words but couldn’t find any reason.

Li Yan’s attitude towards this matter appeared extremely calm. He couldn’t remember when or where, but he had once read a United States publication called "Human Science Research" that talked about past and present lives. However, he only read it casually and didn’t believe it, only thinking that the world is vast with all sorts of things. After reading it, he discarded it casually.

Thinking about it now, he still felt half-believing, half-doubting. Oh well, what’s the point of thinking about past lives, facing reality is what’s real.

Li Yan drooped his eyelids and said, "So, you went to the Sicuro Mafia to avenge me?"

Gu Tong had previously mentioned that she went to the Sicuro Mafia because of Li Yan, but later realized she’d been deceived. Though she had glossed over that part, Li Yan still caught the key point.

Actually, regarding this part of the past, Gu Tong would rather not say anything; she didn’t want to dwell on it or discuss it in detail.

However...

Li Yan asked, and she had no choice.

Gu Tong nodded and said, "Yes, something happened to you at that time, and I foolishly believed the words of a petty person..."

Petty person.

Gu Tong had mentioned who it was before.

Li Yan also knew very well.

Thinking of this, Li Yan pursed his lips and said, "I don’t blame you!"
