Chapter 18: Lover Reunion

The following day, Feng Xian’er, who was sleeping, slowly opened her eyes. Moments later, she had fully returned to her senses, but she was instantly stunned to see a bouquet of red roses on her desk and a small letter in front of it.

Feng Xian’er immediately got off her bed, took the letter, and read its contents. “I’m waiting for you on the high school rooftop, my Little Phoenix.”

Reading the handwriting, tears started to drip from the corners of her eyes. Feng Xian’er then dropped the letter and ran to the bathroom to clean herself while laughing and crying simultaneously. She took a shower faster than usual, then chose her favorite crimson dress with a phoenix pattern made of gold thread, which Chen Li had given her four months ago before he disappeared.

After she finished dressing, Feng Xian’er sprinted down the stairs from the second floor. Feng Ao, who was reading the newspaper in the living room, was startled to see her, especially seeing his daughter dressed up so beautifully, so he asked. “Why are you in such a hurry, Xian’er? Where do you want to go so early in the morning?”

“Chen Li is back, and I want to see him right now, Dad!” Feng Xian’er replied as she ran out of her house.

Feng Ao was dumbfounded, but he laughed while shaking his head. “They are truly like lovers who can’t live without each other, but it’s good that Li’er is back, so Xian’er doesn’t have to worry about him anymore.”

Half an hour later, Feng Xian’er arrived at her former high school, and she ran as fast as she could toward the rooftop. When she arrived, she immediately caught her breath as she looked at the long silver-haired man wearing a windbreaker with a dragon pattern of gold thread standing with his back to her.

Chen Li, who heard her footsteps had reached the rooftop, immediately turned to face Feng Xian’er. He then spread his arms to the sides and looked at her with a happy smile.

Even though Chen Li’s appearance was very different and he was wearing sunglasses, Feng Xian’er could recognize him because there was a strong bond between them since they were small, and tears flowed freely from her eyes. “Is… Is it you?”

“It’s… I, Little Phoenix.” Chen Li replied with a smile as he nodded to her. (A/N: Why Little Phoenix? Feng in Chinese can mean wind and phoenix, depending on the writing.)

Hearing that nickname, the burden in Feng Xian’er’s heart instantly vanished. She rushed towards Chen Li and jumped into his arms immediately, and she hugged him very tightly while crying as hard as she could. “Sob… I miss you so much, Chen Li. Sob… I thought I would lose you forever… Sob…”

Chen Li hugged his lover back while caressing her head and back. “I’m sorry for worrying you during these four months.” 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢

Feng Xian’er only shook her head and hugged him even tighter as she continued to cry, pouring out the sadness and longing that had been buried in her heart for four months.

Half an hour later, Feng Xian’er had calmed down and stopped crying; she cupped her beloved lover’s cheeks and kept looking at him longingly while caressing his cheeks. However, just as she was about to take off his sunglass, Chen Li grabbed her hand to stop her.

“Why? What happened to you? Where have you been for these four months? Do you know how I’ve felt all these months? I was terrified of losing you.” Feng Xian’er bombarded him with questions as she released herself from his embrace, but he did not immediately answer her questions. She then tried to reach for his sunglasses to take them off, but Chen Li didn’t stop her this time. When she looked into his eyes, she was shocked to see that his once-black eyes had turned gray. She then tried to wave her hand in front of him, but his eyes didn’t react, making her panic. “What… what happened to your eyes? Are… are your eyes blind?” (A/N: His eyes now are grey and silver when he activated his eyes technique.)

“You don’t need to panic like this.” Chen Li said as he rubbed her cheeks, and his eyes turned silver as soon as he activated his Divine God Eyes. “As you can see, my eyes are indeed blind now, but you don’t need to be sad about this. Even though I am blind, I can still see your pretty face clearly, and I can also see you wearing the crimson dress with a phoenix pattern I gave you four months ago.”

Feng Xian’er was surprised that Chen Li could tell the clothes she was wearing, even though he was blind. “How is this possible?”

“A lot has happened in the last four months, and I will tell you everything.” Chen Li led her to sit on the lounger on the roof, and Feng Xian’er sat on his lap with both arms wrapped around his neck while her head rested on his shoulder.

Chen Li started to tell her from the beginning. Before that day’s events, he had received a message saying that Feng Xian’er was being attacked by several people. When he arrived at the place, five people ambushed him and took him to a deserted alley. He then told her they had beaten him and left him in the northern forest to die. He also told her about being saved by Song Tianyi, Xiao Huoli, and his training for the past four months.

For nearly an hour, Feng Xian’er sat quietly on Chen Li’s lap and listened to him recount everything he had experienced in the last four months. After he finished telling the story, she immediately asked in disbelief. “How unbelievable! So those fictional novels are real?”

Feng Xian’er was shocked to hear his story, especially about Song Tianyi, Xiao Huoli, Tianyi Realm, and Cultivators. Just like Chen Li, her hobby was reading Xianxia fiction novels, but now he told her that all of them were real.

“Hehe, at first, I was just as shocked as you, but everything was real, and I’ve been training in that place for a very long time. Moreover, for you guys, only four months have passed. But for me, almost three years have passed.” Chen Li stretched out his hand, and his Fire Qi appeared above his palm. “This is my Fire Qi.”

Feng Xian’er then stretched her hand toward that Fire Qi, but the fire did not harm her because she was a flame user. “This is amazing! This way, you are no longer as weak as you used to be.”

“That’s right.” Chen Li then dispelled his Fire Qi and carried Feng Xian’er like a princess. “I will bring you to the Tianyi Realm right now. That way, you can start cultivating to become a cultivator, and we can live together for a very long time.”

After he said that, Chen Li and Feng Xian’er instantly disappeared from the rooftop of their former high school.
