Chapter 182
Chu Muxi told Lu Junzhi everything he had encountered in his previous life, as well as his final outcome, from beginning to end.
Lu Junzhi finally held him in his arms and stroked his back and forth to soothe him.
In fact, Chu Muxi had not thought about what had happened in his previous life for a long time.
Now that he talked about it, he felt like those things were just like in a dream. Maybe they were not real, but just a nightmare he had had.
“Do you really believe it?” Chu Muxi looked up at him and smiled bitterly. “Actually, now that I say it, it feels like I am telling you about a dream I had.”
Lu Junzhi touched his hair and said warmly, “I believe it, but I hope you will just treat it as a nightmare and forget about it when you wake up.”
Chu Muxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded obediently.
Then he heard Lu Junzhi suddenly say, “When you were just speaking, there was a pause. Is there something you can’t tell me?”
Chu Muxi was stunned, as if he didn’t realize what Lu Junzhi was asking.
Lu Junzhi kissed him on the forehead and said, “You said you were scolded by many people and then falsely accused of treason. Why were you scolded before the treason?”
Chu Muxi suddenly remembered and coughed lightly. “No, it’s nothing, it’s just nonsense. At that time, Chu Mubei spread a lot of negative information about me at night, and people didn’t distinguish between true and false. They were just scolding me.” He looked away, not daring to meet Lu Junzhi’s gaze.
Lu Junzhi playfully pinched his chin and turned his face back to meet his eyes.
“Tell me, what else happened.” Lu Junzhi looked at him steadily and asked.
Chu Muxi lowered his eyes and said vaguely, “No, I didn’t hide anything from you.” At first glance, it was clear he didn’t want to say more.
Lu Junzhi couldn’t help but laugh. He leaned closer and put his forehead against Chu Muxi’s. “Tell me, Muxi, I want to know.”
His voice was a little lower and hoarse, as if it carried a subtle temptation that made people drawn to it.
Chu Muxi finally raised his eyes to look at him and was shocked by the deep affection in Lu Junzhi’s gaze.
He stared blankly at Lu Junzhi and unconsciously began to speak.
“Because when I came of age, my conditions in my previous life were very poor in all aspects, so someone entered my information into the system’s matching centre. They probably wanted to match me with a poor partner.” Chu Muxi said this with a bitter smile.
Lu Junzhi couldn’t help but feel nervous, thinking about someone plotting against Chu Muxi like that, if that person had truly succeeded.
If Chu Muxi in his previous life had not been able to resist, then his ending would have been—
Just thinking of this possibility, even if it was only one in ten thousand, even though it was all over now, Lu Junzhi still felt a little scared. But thankfully, thankfully, they had met so early in this life.
Thankfully, Chu Muxi had been favoured by fate and given the chance to start over.
“So, the person who matched with you later was—” Lu Junzhi looked into Chu Muxi’s bright and clear eyes, and suddenly his heart stirred, a thought that both shocked and surprised him gradually emerging in his mind. He looked at Chu Muxi, held his face with both hands, and asked seriously, “That person was me, wasn’t it?”
The person who had successfully matched with Chu Muxi in the system’s marriage centre was him, Lu Junzhi.
