Chapter 230 Love is
Qiao Susu hugged Zongfang's neck and buried her face in it.

Munakata smiled and patted her back, holding her like a child.

"You're already a mother, yet you still cry so much."

Qiao Suisui rubbed her eyes and asked him, "Why don't you ask me why I suddenly died and came back to life?"

Whether it was him or Karl, if she didn't say it, they wouldn't ask.

In fact, Zongfang has been avoiding this topic.

He pecked her lips hard and warned, "Don't say that word."

"Which one, s"

Before she could even utter a word, she was kissed hard by the man.

Zongfang's tongue hooked hers, and he held the back of her head with his big hand, deepening the kiss until she was a little breathless, and then he reluctantly let her go.

"Don't tell me anymore."

"understood."

She sat on his lap, shook her white legs, rolled her eyes, and said tentatively: "Actually, I don't belong to this world."

Zongfang was not surprised, but his hands tightened unconsciously.

"I know."

"you know?"

Now it was Qiao Susu's turn to be surprised.

Zongfang hesitated for a few seconds, stroked her hair gently, and spoke slowly: "It was Scorsese who told me. He said that when he first saw you, you didn't speak the language here, and you were unfamiliar with this world, but you didn't look like you were raised in a cage. You have your own opinions, ideas, and courage. You even have many qualities that the females here don't have. You don't have the temper of being spoiled since childhood, so he guessed that you were living a life somewhere else that we can't imagine at all, but for some unknown reason, you unexpectedly came to our side."

Qiao Susu was completely stunned.

She seemed to suddenly understand why Luka always felt insecure.
Because he knew from the beginning that he didn't belong here, he was afraid that she would return to her world one day.
But he never showed it in front of himself.

For how many days and nights did Luka suffer from anxiety and worry over this?
And in which moments during their time together did he hide all his anxieties and always remain emotionally stable while embracing and loving her?

Zong Fang saw her tears rolling down like pearls from a broken string, and he gently wiped them away for her. He knew that bringing this up would make her sad again, but avoiding this topic all the time was not a solution.

Qiao Suisui cried and said, "So Luka thought I would never come back, so..."

Zong Fang shook his head, kissed her tears again and again, and said softly, "No. I asked him in the seventh year after you left." At that time, Luka had committed suicide about a dozen times, and each time he pulled himself back when he was almost on the verge of death. He committed suicide and saved himself over and over again for many years, until even those around him were tired of persuading him.

At that time, Libery was angry that he was irresponsible and didn't even consider Su Su's child, so she turned against him.

Zong Fang herself had no interest in paying attention to anyone other than Qiao Susu, but when she thought that the child was the continuation of her bloodline, she couldn't bear it and went to see him once.

That was Scorsese he had never seen before. He had no emotions or expressions, as if he was just a corpse. At the same time, he could talk to you normally. Although he didn't say much, you knew clearly that the person in front of you was alive.

The feeling of shock and contradiction was so strong that even Zongfang could not forget it.

"You don't have to keep seeking death like this. Since you know she doesn't belong in this world, maybe she will come back for you and me."

Scorsese just sat there quietly for a long, long time, so long that Zongfang thought he would not speak, and then he heard his hoarse voice: "I just blame myself."

Zongfang was stunned, "What?"

"I was right beside her, but I didn't notice she was no longer breathing." Luka's eyes were blurred and he closed them tiredly. "She definitely didn't want to leave on her own. Before she fell asleep, she asked me to wake her up. She said it was me she couldn't bear to let me wait for, because I didn't protect her well."

Everyone thought Scorsese was a weak love-sacrifice man who abandoned his child just to free himself.

But Zong Fang knew that he was not seeking death in this way, but was using this method to find a way to go to her world.

But for the last time, Scorsese himself might not have expected that he would end his life like this.

Zongfang was unable to tell her such a cruel truth, because that would basically be like peeling her heart and flesh apart, which would be a secondary injury.

He kissed Qiao Suisui and said, "Qiao Qiao, if you want to go back in time to save him, go ahead, because I know that no matter what time I am, I will always love you the most." "So no matter where or when we meet, it will not change the fact that I only love you."

With tears streaming down her face, Qiao Susu hugged Zong Fang tightly, and at this moment she gained infinite courage.

If the present Zongfang had to say something to the past Zongfang, he thought, he would tell himself at that time that love is not just about possession.

Love is a kind of existence that makes people feel warm and fulfilled. It is not only desire and passion, but also a lasting vision.

Love means that no matter what lies ahead, you choose to face it together with her instead of standing in front of her.

Love means that you are willing to patiently understand her thoughts and why she feels the way she does.

Love is when you see dissatisfaction in a relationship, but are still willing to accept and tolerate it instead of trying to change her.

Love means you are willing to make concessions and sacrifices for her happiness, because her happiness is your happiness.

Love is when you are together, you feel safe and satisfied even without talking.

Love is that you believe in her, and she will come back to you no matter what the circumstances.

The next day.

Qiao Susu and Zong Fang said goodbye as usual, neither of them had too many emotions because they both knew they would not lose each other.

But when Carl learned of her decision, he insisted on not agreeing.

"I'll go back with you." His expression had never been so serious.

Qiao Suisui patiently explained to him for the fifth time: "Time travel can only work on me, Carl. I'm just going back to the time when Anubis and I were imprisoned in the water dungeon and making a few changes. I promise it won't affect us."

Karl covered his ears: “The me of yesterday is different from the me of today. What can you guarantee? What if you think the me of more than ten years ago was more handsome and dislike the me of now?”

Qiao Susu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

“You’re handsome now, too.”

“I was more handsome when I was young.”

“They do have their own merits.”

"Look, now you admit it. You only like the old me."

Qiao Susu couldn't argue with him, so she rolled her eyes and hooked her finger at him.

Karl frowned, looking unhappy, and crossed his arms and said, “Why, don’t think you can seduce me by smiling so beautifully.”

The next second, Qiao Susu stopped smiling and glared at him. Karl walked over dejectedly.

She stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "Do you want a little leopard?"

Karl’s ears turned red instantly, but he was still stubborn: “Bribe me?”

"Don't want it? Forget it."

Qiao Susu turned and walked away, but the man pulled her back and held her in his arms.

"I don't want the little leopard, I only want you. I warn you to love me well and don't leave without saying goodbye again."

Karl hugged her tightly, buried his head in her shoulder, and cried faintly: "I'm waiting for you and Summer here."

Qiao Susui:?

"Who is Summer?"

Carl wiped the tears from his eyes pretentiously and said in a very normal tone: "Oh, Summer is my unborn daughter."
