Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Prayers

"Please don’t lose yourself." Qiao Jun said softly. "You absolutely can’t lose yourself. Understand?"

"Jun." Yu Holea called out softly.

"Hm." Qiao Jun withdrew his hand.

"Why did you lie?"

"Lie?" Qiao Jun looked puzzled.

"Hm. Why did you lie? You told me that you would stay with me forever, but you left me in the end." Yu Holea blinked again.

There were no tears, no complaints, and no aggression. It was so calm, that it made Yu Holea look a bit unrealistic.

Qiao Jun stared at Yu Holea,

"Lea, why don’t you cry, a bit? Okay? I will accompany you."

"No." Yu Holea shook her head. There was a faint smile on her face, "I don’t want to."

"Please, Lea."

"You haven’t answered me yet." Yu Holea calmly reminded him.

Qiao Jun took a deep breath.

"I am sorry."

"Hm."

"Lea. Please don’t destroy yourself just for revenge, okay? I want you to become mature, not a fallen angel."

"Fallen angel?" Yu Holea repeated Qiao Jun’s words.

"Hm."

"I don’t want to become one of them." Yu Holea stated.

Qiao Jun looked relieved.

"But...Fallen angels, know the truth. They know the truth, Life is unfair. You can work hard for a thing, your entire life, but maybe in the end, you might not get that thing.

You might suffer a lot but in the end, your suffering may be ignored in the end.

Just like how I was cursed to be a loner in my past life. I suffered a lot, sacrificed a lot, and came here. But just when I thought the curse was over...I entered in a world where no one loved me.

How..."

Yu Holea stared at Qiao Jun,

"How unfair."

Qiao Jun’s eyes widened.

"Jun. Do you know, I never wished for anything in my life. I never asked the god to give me anything other than peace. I thought I was a monk.

But one day my misunderstanding was solved. The day I saw you for the first time, I subconsciously or unconsciously started to beg god.

Beg that...you can be mine. But just when my dream was fulfilled...you left me."

Qiao Jun froze.

Yu Holea chuckled,

"Jun. I don’t want to become one of them...because I am one of them."

Qiao Jun shook his head,

"No."

"You don’t have a say in this. After all, you will eventually forget me."

"Who told you this?" Qiao Jun’s voice was laced with anger this time.

Yu Holea chuckled,

"I may look like a 16-year-old, but I am in fact 26 years old. I am not dumb. An attack on the soul... is severe, in the worst case, you will disperse completely, and in the best case you will forget everything."

Silence.

The time seemed to stretch endlessly.

"I promise you, no matter what happens to me, no matter if I forget everything else, I will always find my way back to you. Our bond is not something that can be easily severed."

Yu Holea’s eyes softened,

"I never wanted your protection Jun... What I lacked was a home, a person who makes me feel I am loved.

I wanted to be loved by the person I love."

Qiao Jun was silent for a long while.

"Okay." He said.

Yu Holea paused.

"Okay. Give up Lea. I think that would be better. After fighting for so long just when things are about to become right such a thing happened, I can understand how much pain you felt.

So give up and rest after taking revenge on my behalf. Okay?" Qiao Jun said with a smile.

Yu Holea stared at him.

"But before that, why don’t you hear something?" He proposed and before Yu Hoela could answer him, she heard Qiao Li’s voice,

"Oh, god! If you are listening to me, please keep my Lea safe. Please wake up my brother too! And don’t make Lea anymore sad! Please!"

"God, I have heard that you listen to kids’ words very fast. Then please cure my sister Lea and brother Jun." Qiao Zirui said softly.

"Hey, what do you mean cure Sister Lea! God don’t hear him! Just take care of my sister Lea. And if possible please wake up my brother!" Qiao Zifei said in a soft voice.

"God, please take care of my Lea. Please cure my son too!" It was Mrs. Qiao’s voice.

"I don’t know if you can hear or not. Even though I don’t believe in you, I have heard from Lea that as long as I faithfully worship you, you will listen to me, right?

Please cure my son and...please don’t let my daughter see the dark side of humans! If you want to take away someone’s happiness just take away mine, okay?" Qiao Heng said.

"God, you were unfair by switching my daughter at the time of her birth. Because of that Mei girl, we even mistreated our Lea.

If you have even the slightest bit of mercy...please...please take care of my daughter! I beg you." This was Mrs. Yu.

"Please protect my sister." Yu Sicong’s voice sounded.

"Take away my happiness if you want the supreme god, but please...please spare my sister." It was Yu Shuhcang.

"Don’t let her suffer anymore." Yu Sile’s voice sounded.

......

The voices continued to echo for a long time.

Some of them were who Yu Holea had helped earlier, some of them were head teachers of the Jackson High School and some of them were her friends...

Yu Holea lowered her head with each comment she was hearing.

When the voices stopped, Qiao Jun’s gentle voice sounded,

"Lea, I know your previous life was difficult but see, in this life, you have been compensated. Even though in the start no one loved you, now...so many people love you.

They keep on praying for your well-being. If it is not love then I don’t know what is.

As for me...I know the destiny was unfair...but maybe there is a better future. Or maybe the god is preparing you for something great.

I know it is difficult and you are tempted to change yourself, but please think about those who love you so much.

Think about how much hurt they will to see a completely different Yu Holea just because of an incident."

Yu Holea continued to lower her head.

She didn’t respond but Qiao Jun understood that Yu Holea accepted his words.

A soft smile appeared on his face. He smiled,

"Lea, you have done very well, and...congratulations my sweetheart on becoming a candidate."

Two water droplets dropped from Yu Holea’s eyes and she asked in a trembling voice,

"You..w-won’t...give me...a gift?"

Qiao Jun paused and asked softly,

"What do you want? Diamond ring? Or..."

"A kiss on my forehead...please?" Yu Holea’s voice sounded choked.

Only she knew how much her heart was aching and how much she wanted to hug Qiao Jun and cry.

How much she wanted to hold Qiao Jun’s hand and never let go.

Maybe...maybe if she held tightly, he wouldn’t leave her...

Even if it was an illusion, she was ready to live in this illusion.

However she knew that it was impossible to do so, hence she put forth another condition.

Just a forehead kiss will do.

All the stress, all the heartache, all the suffering, and the all anger will vanish as long as he kisses her...

For the past 3 months, she has missed Qiao Jun’s hugs, and kisses like a crazy person.

Sometimes she was even tempted to...

Yu Holea lifted her head, only to find Qiao Jun smiling at her with a helpless expression,

"I am sorry, Lea, I may not be able to fulfill your request, since..."

Slowly Qiao Jun’s soul started to disintegrate.

Subconsciously Yu Holea tried to hold Qiao Jun but her hand passed right through him.

Her eyes widened in horror as she watched him slowly fade away, piece by piece, like a delicate mist dissipating under the morning sun.

"No... no, Jun, please don’t leave me again," Yu Holea’s voice trembled, desperation coloring her words.

She could feel her heart shattering all over again, and the tears that she had been holding back began to flow freely.

Qiao Jun gave her a soft, apologetic smile, his eyes filled with a sorrow that matched her own.

"Lea, I wish I could stay, but my time here is over. Remember what I said. Don’t lose yourself. Promise me."

Yu Holea nodded frantically, tears streaming down her face.

"No! First! First, you stop! Please! Please!"

Qiao Jun’s form flickered, his edges becoming more indistinct with every passing second.

"Lea," he said softly, his voice already seeming to come from a great distance. "Promise me."

"I promise! I promise, Jun, just don’t go!" Yu Holea reached out, but her hands passed through him again, the sensation chilling her to the bone.

His smile remained gentle, though it now carried an edge of sorrow. "I love you, Lea. Always."
