Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Epilogue - 02
Cang Yuze caught her hands gently. A soft smile appeared on his enchanting face as he looked at her with deep ocean blue eyes.
"Of course I’m real, Yue Yue," he said softly. "See..."
Before she could say anything more, he leaned in and kissed her. It was a deep, soul-searing kiss full of longing and love.
Yue Yue’s heart shook violently. All the pain, guilt, and love she had been holding inside rushed out at once.
She couldn’t stop crying. Tears kept falling even as he kissed her.
When the kiss finally ended, Yue Yue was still sobbing. She looked at him with red eyes and asked in a broken voice, "How... how did you come here? How did you follow me back to this world?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Cang Yuze chuckled softly, his thumb gently wiping the tears from her cheeks.
"If I could follow you into that other world, of course I also have a way to come back to this one," he said warmly. "Yue Yue..."
Yue Yue burst into even more tears. Her shoulders shook as she cried harder. The pain and relief mixed together inside her chest.
Cang Yuze wiped her tears again and said in a teasing tone, "Yue Yue, stop crying. Do you think your tears will turn into pearls? No? Then stop wasting them. What is the point of crying so much?"
Yue Yue was stunned for a moment by his teasing words. She looked at him with teary eyes, then gently punched his shoulder with her small fist.
"You... you are still the same," she said with a shaky voice, half laughing and half crying.
Cang Yuze smiled tenderly. He pulled her closer and asked, "How are the others?" Yue Yue finally asked, her voice still full of worry.
Cang Yuze’s smile grew wider. His deep blue eyes sparkled as he looked at her lovingly.
"Why don’t you ask them yourself?" he said gently.
Yue Yue was stunned. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest as she stared at Cang Yuze with wide, disbelieving eyes.
"What? The others... they are also here?" she asked in a shaky, trembling voice.
She frantically looked behind him, then turned her head left and right, searching desperately with her teary eyes.
Her small hands clutched his clothes tightly, afraid that if she let go, he would disappear like a dream.
Cang Yuze smiled gently, his deep ocean blue eyes soft with understanding. He placed a calming hand on her shoulder and said in a warm, low voice, "Yue Yue, look behind you."
Yue Yue turned around slowly, her breath caught in her throat.
There, standing not far from her, were her four other husbands.
Han Soi stood tall and straight like a sturdy mountain. His back was perfectly straight, but the deep gentleness flowing in his eyes could not be hidden.
His face had become considerably thinner, the sharp lines of his jaw more pronounced. It was clear he had suffered greatly, barely eating or sleeping since she had left.
His longing gaze was fixed on her, full of quiet pain and endless love.
Her gaze then shifted to Xing Luoguang. He was hiding his face, looking down at the ground as if he didn’t dare meet her eyes.
His shoulders were slightly hunched, and Yue Yue could feel the heavy emotions he was desperately holding back.
The strong male who once carried her so proudly now looked like he was barely keeping himself together.
Beside him stood Xing Luoye. His eyes were red and swollen like a little rabbit’s, and his face was scrunched up tightly. It looked like he would burst into tears at any moment.
His fists were clenched at his sides, his whole body trembling with the effort of holding back his feelings.
Finally, her eyes landed on Feng Yanshen. Her heart skipped a painful beat. He was wearing the blindfold again, the same white cloth he had removed after meeting her.
Seeing it back on his face made her chest ache unbearably. The calm and ruthless male she remembered now carried an aura of deep loneliness and suffering.
Tears filled Yue Yue’s eyes again. Without thinking, she opened her arms wide. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Even with her small and delicate frame, she rushed towards all of them, trying to embrace her several tall and strong-built husbands at once.
The moment her hands touched them, all four males shivered violently, as if her touch had awakened something deep inside their souls.
Xing Luoye could not hold back any longer.
He immediately wrapped his arms around her so tightly that it almost hurt. His hot tears suddenly soaked her shoulder as he buried his face in her neck and cried silently, his body shaking with suppressed sobs.
Han Soi embraced her from the other side, his strong arms wrapping around her protectively. His large hand gently stroked her back, but she could feel how much he was trembling.
The steady male who rarely showed weakness was now holding her like she was his only lifeline.
When they finally loosened their hold a little, Yue Yue stepped towards Xing Luoguang.
She gently held his face with both hands and lifted it up. His entire face was drenched with tears. Her heart broke at the sight. She tiptoed and softly kissed his wet cheeks again and again.
"Don’t cry, my love," she whispered tenderly, her own voice cracking with emotion.
Xing Luoguang nodded hard, fresh tears falling as he pulled her into his arms once more, hugging her as if he was afraid she would vanish again.
When they pulled back than she walked towards Feng Yanshen, her calmest but also most ruthless husband. She gently reached up and touched the blindfold covering his eyes.
He almost flinched back, his body stiff with pain.
"Did I hurt you?" Yue Yue asked worriedly, her voice full of guilt. She stopped moving, afraid she had caused him more pain.
Before she could take even one step backward, Feng Yanshen suddenly caught her wrist in a firm but trembling grip.
He pulled her close and bent down to kissed her fiercely.
The kiss was deep, desperate, and filled with years of longing and suppressed suffering.
When the kiss finally ended, he rested his forehead against hers, breathing heavily.
In a hoarse, broken voice that carried all his pain, he whispered, "Yue Yue... my Yue... I promised myself that if you ever left me, I would follow you even to another world. Every single day without you was like living in endless darkness. These eyes... they refused to see anything when you were gone. The world became meaningless."
He slowly removed his blindfold with slightly shaking hands. His beautiful eyes, now red-rimmed and filled with unshed tears, finally met hers.
Both of them smiled at the same time, a small and soul-touching smile that carried everything: their deep love, painful longing, the agony of separation, and the heavy suffering of being apart for so long.
Tears slipped silently from Feng Yanshen’s eyes as he gently cupped her face with both hands, his thumbs brushing her cheeks with infinite tenderness and care.
"Yue Yue... these eyes will only be opened when you are in front of me," he murmured softly, his voice cracking with emotion.
"Without you, this world has no light, no color, no meaning. From now on, my sight... my heart... my everything... belongs only to you. Please... never leave me again."
