Chapter 67: Sixty-six, Confession

Only when Luo Shu was far away from Lu Hanmo did she stop and turn her head to look where he was, her face flushing red as the image of the unclothed Lu Hanmo involuntarily flashed through her mind.

“What a pervert!” Luo Shu shook her head, trying to dismiss the stimulating scene from her thoughts.

As she withdrew her gaze, Luo Shu sat down under a tree, leaning against the trunk and leisurely looked up at the sky when suddenly, she smacked her forehead in annoyance, “How could I have forgotten about the dates on the shampoo and shower gel bottles? How am I supposed to explain this now?”

Lu Hanmo stared blankly at the date on the shampoo bottle, his mouth slowly curving into a faint smile as he thought of the dream he had before. It was indeed his Shushu. Although he didn’t know how she had become the current Luo Shu, as long as it was her, that was all that mattered.

Estimating the time, Lu Hanmo should have finished bathing by now, and Luo Shu walked back hesitantly. She really didn’t know how to explain to Lu Hanmo about her rebirth.

“Shushu!” came Lu Hanmo’s voice, as refreshing and intoxicating as a fine wine from up ahead.

Luo Shu looked up, her face instantly blushing. At that moment, Lu Hanmo was only wearing a dripping wet pair of shorts that clung to him, outlining his sexy form. His muscular body that radiated masculine beauty, was still covered with droplets of water, which trickled down slowly across his broad, powerful chest, and his lean abdomen with its six-pack, eventually all were absorbed into the shorts that were washed to a pale white, yet incredibly tempting.

Struggling to take a breath, to keep the nosebleed at bay, “Why aren’t you wearing any clothes?” If he kept tempting her like this, did he believe she wouldn’t pounce on him?

“I don’t have any clothes to wear,” Lu Hanmo felt uneasy under Luo Shu’s heated gaze. His Shushu was indeed bold. Didn’t she know that he was a normal man?

“No clothes? Oh! Now I remember.” Luo Shu’s reaction came a beat too slow as she remembered that Lu Hanmo’s luggage had been left on the train.

With a wave of her hand, she produced several men’s garments for Lu Hanmo. These clothes were her grandfather’s from his youth and suited this era perfectly.

“How do you have men’s clothing?” Lu Hanmo felt a twinge of sourness in his heart when he saw the clothes in front of him.

“These are my grandfather’s clothes. Put them on, and I’ll explain slowly,” Having been discovered, she might as well make it clear to him. But she didn’t know if he could accept her soul from the future.

Seeing Lu Hanmo dressed and approaching, Luo Shu patted the spot next to her, inviting him to sit down.

“Brother Lu, did you see it?”

After Lu Hanmo sat down, Luo Shu looked at him tentatively, hoping he hadn’t noticed the dates. But was that even possible?

Lu Hanmo nodded, “I saw the dates.”

As expected! Luo Shu’s heart sank. She took in a deep breath and started to speak slowly, “Have you heard of returning to life in another body?”

Seeing Lu Hanmo nod, Luo Shu continued, “Actually, my situation should be considered returning to life in another’s body. I’m not from this era; I come from the future.”

Glancing at Lu Hanmo, and noticing his expression hadn’t changed, Luo Shu felt a bit astonished, “Aren’t you curious?” Would not a normal person show fear, disbelief at hearing such things?

Lu Hanmo reached out to hold Luo Shu’s hand and shook his head with a smile, “Shushu, how did you come to be here?” He was just grateful that he could meet her again.

Luo Shu looked at Lu Hanmo, puzzled by his reaction, but she still told him the truth, “There was an explosion in the train I was on, and when I woke up, I became the current Luo Shu.”

Suddenly, Lu Hanmo pulled her into his embrace with a force and held her tight, “I’m sorry! Shushu, I’m so sorry!” He had failed to protect her, leading her to such a fate. Fortunately, he hadn’t lost her, and in this lifetime, he was determined to become stronger and prevent any accidents from happening to her again.

Feeling the warmth and moisture on her shoulder, Luo Shu tensed slightly, “Brother Lu, what’s wrong?” Why had he suddenly started crying?

“Shushu, I will definitely protect you well in this lifetime,” Lu Hanmo’s tone was filled with firmness and resolve.

“Mhm!” Luo Shu nodded, resting her head against Lu Hanmo’s chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat. All her trepidation vanished in an instant, and a contented smile spread across her face.

Lu Hanmo slowly let go of Luo Shu, his deep gaze tenderly fixed on her, “Ever since I met you, I’ve been having a recurring dream about another you. She’s also called Luo Shu, my Guard Doctor, and her eyes are exactly like yours.”

Luo Shu’s eyes widened in disbelief, “You mean to say, you know about our past life? And you’ve recognized me long ago?” How is that possible?

Lu Hanmo smiled and nodded, “Yes, I recognized you a long time ago.” Her eyes were unique in this world; he was sure he couldn’t be mistaken. And indeed, he wasn’t.

Luo Shu glared at Lu Hanmo playfully, raising her hand to thump his chest, “Then why didn’t you tell me, letting me overthink it for so long.” Thankfully, they hadn’t missed out on each other.

Lu Hanmo smiled as he took Luo Shu’s hand and gently kissed it, “It seems you’re destined to become my little wife.”

“That’s not necessarily so!” Luo Shu stuck out her tongue and laughed playfully, yet she was overjoyed by Lu Hanmo’s words. It had been her greatest dream in two lifetimes to become his wife.

Lu Hanmo affectionately scraped her cute nose and said with a mischievous grin, “You’ve seen my body in its entirety; don’t you think you should take responsibility?”

The image of Lu Hanmo naked flashed through Luo Shu’s mind again, and her face instantly flushed red.

Seeing this, Lu Hanmo couldn’t help but laugh. He tousled Luo Shu’s hair, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Let’s get going.” He stood up and reached out his hand to pull Luo Shu to her feet.

Luo Shu gave Lu Hanmo a sideways glance, surveyed their surroundings and asked, “Which way should we go?” To her, every direction looked much the same.

“We head south. We’re currently in the vicinity of the Yunxiang Mountain Range. It’s approximately a two hundred kilometer journey before we can get out of these woods,” Lu Hanmo estimated. He had undergone combat training in this forest before, so he was somewhat familiar with the area.

The Yunxiang Mountain Range stretched for thousands of kilometers, with many areas still in their primeval state, full of various dangers. But no matter how dangerous, he would protect Shushu.

Last night at 8:05 PM, the G1197 train bound for Cloud City suffered a severe derailment in the Yunling West Section, resulting in 179 fatalities and 374 injuries. The exact number of casualties is still under investigation…

“Clink!” Zhao Aishu stared blankly at the television, which was still broadcasting the news, oblivious even as the teacup slipped from her hand to the floor, soaking the hem of her pants.

“Luo Shu can’t have been on that train; I must have remembered the train number wrong,” Zhao Aishu shook her head, continually reassuring herself. She had planned to pick up Luo Shu today, but since her leg hadn’t healed, Xu Feng didn’t agree to let her come along. He said he would bring Luo Shu home after picking her up.

The housemaid, hearing the noise, ran out from the room. Seeing Zhao Aishu’s wet trousers, she quickly went forward, “Madam, let me push you inside to change your pants.”

Zhao Aishu shook her head, pushed the wheelchair to one side, picked up the phone, and made a call. When the call connected, she spoke, “Get me a car; I’m going to the train station.”

Inside the train station, upon receiving news of the G1197 train’s mid-journey accident, chaos had already ensued.

Some people sat on the ground crying loudly, some fainted, while others continued to look around, hoping to spot their loved ones or friends.

“Sister, stop crying. Big sis is so capable; nothing will happen to her. She’ll be back soon,” Luo Zheng patted Luo Shan’s back, constantly comforting her. He was also not feeling well inside. He hoped his older sister was safe, but how could he be at ease without seeing her safe and sound?

Xu Feng sighed deeply. He had already called to ask about the specifics and knew the situation was very grave. He didn’t want anything bad to happen to Luo Shu, but he too had no assurance in his heart.
