Chapter 609 - Trust Him (1/2)

The fallen god poked Jing Yi's forehead. ”See? That's what I was talking about. You clearly love him but you don't trust him.”

”Ah?”

”You thought you couldn't trust him. But you love him and he's a dragon. He even bound his soul to yours. What more can you expect? If you can't trust that person, then you can't trust anyone. Not even yourself.”

Jing Yi just stared at him. So his thoughts had been this obvious …

”Dragons are good people. The only good people around. If they fall in love with someone, they will love them forever.”

”Qiu Ling … loved Jing He very much.” Jing Yi couldn't help but think back to those moments in Qiu Ling's inner self. That square filled with people who he obviously couldn't remember, their faces blurred, their voices a constant chattering without actual words … And that one person whose every detail was engraved in his mind. From the blue robe he wore, to the way his hair fell down his back, to the lights sparkling on it. Every last bit was as clear as day. Qiu Ling hadn't forgotten about this moment even though a lot of time had to have passed since then.

The fallen god poked his forehead again, pulling him out of his thoughts. ”What are you thinking? What past self? What true self? This is still you.”

Jing Yi smiled wryly. ”How could that be? I was born a human and while I live … Where is he now? What happens to him while I'm here?”

The fallen god furrowed his brows. Why were people so stupid? Ah, there really was no way helping them. He turned away, not bothering to answer and left his chambers, leaving Jing Yi alone with his thoughts.

For a while, Jing Yi didn't know what to do. He just thought of that moment in Qiu Ling's inner self and then remembered those times Qiu Ling had called him 'Jing He' and looked at him that lovingly. In the end … How much of this was about him? And how much was about his previous self?

He finally closed his eyes and rubbed his face. What was he even thinking about? That man just now was right in one point: If he loved Qiu Ling, he should trust him. Even though it seemed that Qiu Ling's feelings really had a lot to do with his past life, he shouldn't overthink until he was back at his side. At the end of the day, the only one who could tell him the whole story was Qiu Ling.

Jing Yi lowered his hands and shook his head. His whole day seemed to be spent worrying over things he couldn't figure out on his own. First, it was because of what the demon king had said, now, because of that man's words. It seemed he really didn't trust Qiu Ling enough.

”This is the last time. I won't question you again after this. After all, it was me who made so much trouble before.”
