Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

"Jiaojiao, if my past is full of shame and chaos, will you despise me?"

Runyu's voice trembled slightly, filled with unease.

Having known Runyu for many years, Tang Yu knew that he suffered from a severe lack of security due to his childhood experiences. Even if his memories were hazy, his personality was already formed.

"Ayu, as humans have said, life is not always smooth sailing. Although you are a dragon, dragons have moments of joy as well as moments of pain; this is the norm in life."

Don't assume that Xu Feng's life is normal just because he is a chosen one of heaven. I am certain that the will of heaven will subject such a chosen one to hardship, though I do not know why, but there must be a plan.

Therefore, I will not despise you because of your past; it was not your fault, but rather the harm caused by others.

The person before him had a gentle expression and concerned eyes, and Runyu finally felt at peace.

"Then come with me. I don't want to face this alone."

Runyu held Tangyu's hand tightly, and the two walked hand in hand into Dongting Lake.

As they descended the stairs, Tang Yu could clearly feel Runyu's face contorting with pain, and she gripped her hand tighter. But Runyu did not falter, resolutely continuing forward.

Who has trespassed into Dongting Lake?

Behind the blue curtain, a red figure shouted sternly.

However, the next second, she seemed to recognize the person and screamed in panic.

"Don't come any closer! You're not allowed to come any closer!"

Runyu released Tang Yu's hand, took a few steps forward, then solemnly knelt down, his voice trembling but clear as he spoke.

"Lord Dongting, I, Runyu, pay my respects."

The woman in red, Su Li, looked at Runyu with a complicated expression, and after a moment of stunned silence, she spoke.

"Why does the High God perform such a grand ceremony? It is too much for me."

Runyu's eyes reddened, and his voice choked with emotion.

“Mother, your unfilial son has only come to find you today. For all these years, I have been troubled by my memories, but now I have finally found this place.”

Su Li's body trembled slightly, and pain and struggle flashed in her eyes.

"I am not your mother, and you are not my child..."

Su Li turned her face away, her expression filled with stubbornness and pain.

Upon hearing this, Runyu felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

“Mother, how can you say that? After I learned about my origins, I longed to see you again day and night. But only today do I understand where the scars of my life came from.”

"Those who gave me life, those who destroyed me, those who abandoned me, are all my mothers. I am wounded both physically and mentally, and I am covered in scars."

Mother, beneath this sore spot, lies an ugly, unsightly scar—the pain of my childhood, a memory I can never erase.

"These past years, I have appeared noble in the Heavenly Realm, but in reality, I have walked on thin ice, utterly alone and helpless."

Runyu's voice was trembling violently; he even lifted his clothes to reveal the scars beneath.

Tang Yu, watching from the side, had already become furious.

Although she doesn't know what Runyu's past memories are, based on what Runyu is saying now, Tang Yu feels that Runyu's mother is sick.

This is clearly abuse!

Su Li's gaze lingered on Runyu's wounds for a moment, her hands clenched into fists, yet she still steeled herself and spoke.

"Go away, and don't come back. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."

You are now a prince of the Heavenly Realm, while I am but an insignificant demon from the bottom of Dongting Lake. We should never have crossed paths.

Runyu stood up, his face filled with despair.

“Mother, since you are so resolute, I will not insist. But I will never forget you, and if you ever need me, I will do my best to help you.”

After saying this, Runyu grabbed Tangyu's hand, turned around without hesitation, and left the place step by step.

Seeing Runyu's pained expression, Tang Yu didn't press him further. After leaving Dongting Lake, Runyu went directly to a residence in the mortal realm.

It's clear that this place is decorated very elegantly.

"Ayu, don't be afraid, I'll stay with you."

Runyu reached out and gently brushed the stray hair from Tangyu's ear, then buried his head in Tangyu's body.

In moments like these, only here can he find a sliver of warmth.

"I remember living with my mother in Taihu Lake when I was a child. I once thought I was a strange-looking carp and was always bullied by other aquatic children."

Finally, one day I reached my breaking point. Little did I know that my rebellion would bring me such bitter consequences. My mother plucked my dragon scales and gouged out my dragon horns. She thought that in doing so, I could transform into a carp. My father is a dragon, my mother is a dragonfish; how could I possibly become a carp?

“From birth, my mother hid me in the deepest, darkest part of the lake, where I lived in darkness. Do you know what I was most afraid of back then?”

It wasn't about plucking dragon scales or gouging out dragon horns; it was about the cold. The bone-chilling cold after blood loss pierced my lungs and bone marrow bit by bit. Do you know what it feels like to be extremely cold?

My insides were burning; every viscera and bone felt like it was boiling, burning, as if it wanted to consume the last trace of warmth in my body and drain the last drop of blood from my heart. Even now, thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

"My self-healing ability is very strong. Before long, new dragon scales and horns will grow back. Plucking scales and gouging out horns, the cycle goes on and on, it's worse than death."

It was unbearable. Every day, I wished I could just die. Once I grew older and could transform into human form, I rarely showed my true form. The scars beneath my scales were ugly, humiliating, and simply unbearable.

Tang Yu truly never expected that Runyu's past was such a truth.

"No, this is neither ugly nor shameful. At that time, you were just an innocent child, and all the harm you suffered came from others, even if the one who hurt you was your mother."

However, this does not mean that her injuries did not exist!

Runyu, you are a dragon, and your future should soar through the skies. Those childhood memories are merely an experience in your life's journey.

Your future will be filled with happiness. We will get married, have several children, and enjoy the flowers in spring, the lotus blossoms in summer, the fishing in autumn, and the snow in winter.

I will take you on a journey through famous mountains and rivers, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of the world.

The future you will possess boundless happiness. Those past memories will seem insignificant, not worth dwelling on. Never let painful memories torment you!

Runyu looked at the person beside him with slightly red eyes.

"Really? You'll always be with me?"

"of course it's true."

After saying that, Tang Yu smiled and said something else.

"Runyu, let's get married. We'll have our own little family in the future, and we'll live our own lives. We won't care about those unimportant people. We'll just live our own lives."

A warm feeling instantly flowed through Runyu's heart, completely dispelling the chill in his body. He couldn't help but look up and kiss him.

"Okay, let's get married. You're the only one I want, I only want to have you."

Chapter 16 Fragrant Honey 16

True to his word, Tang Yu spent a long time with Runyu in the mortal realm before the two of them went together to see the Wind God Linxiu.

Runyu personally asked his mother-in-law for her consent to the marriage.

"My child, you've always been independent. As for your marriage, your mother has no other ideas than that you're happy. So, do you really want to marry Runyu?"

"I am sure."

Upon hearing this, Runyu, who was standing to the side, showed a look of joy. Linxiu looked tenderly at the golden couple in front of her and expressed her heartfelt blessings.

"I only hope that you two can live happily ever after. I agree to your marriage, but you should still go and see Luo Lin. You should tell him about this."

The two then went to Luo Xiang's residence. Upon learning that the two had decided to get married, Luo Lin sighed with emotion.

"I am naturally happy to help each other in a relationship, so why would I stop it?"

We, who have not achieved fulfillment, hope to see it in your children's generation. I will personally go before the Heavenly Emperor to speak of this matter.

Tang Yu actually knew about the grudges and grievances between the previous generation of the Wind God, Water God, and Flower God, but that was their business, and outsiders had no right to interfere.

Tang Yu is now asking for more than just marriage.

“Father, I have been your daughter for almost two thousand years, and I have a request.”

Luo Lin seemed to be in a good mood, and he spoke with a smile.

"Just say what you have to say."

“Runyu is the God of Night and has to work every day. I hope that after we get married, the Heavenly Emperor can give us a few hundred years off, and let the other star-arranging officials be in charge of arranging the stars. I want to take Runyu to travel for a few hundred years.”

All these years have passed, and Runyu hasn't had a single day off. This lonely and austere life only makes him feel that life has no joy whatsoever.

Tang Yu wanted Runyu to see all the great rivers and mountains of the world, to see all the beautiful scenery, and not to dwell on the past.

"I understand. Don't worry, the Heavenly Emperor will not be petty in this matter. Besides, what the Empress is worried about is simply Runyu taking over the Water Tribe after his marriage."

If I were to plead with the Heavenly Emperor to allow Runyu to temporarily relinquish his burdens and enjoy some leisure time, the Heavenly Empress would surely agree readily and gladly grant his request.

As expected, although Luo Lin is a very easygoing person who deliberately avoids all kinds of conflicts, he actually has a good grasp of people's hearts.

The Heavenly Emperor was overjoyed to learn that the two wanted to get married, and the Heavenly Empress was also very happy to learn that Runyu would be banished to wander as a wandering immortal after his marriage.

Thus, the wedding, which was originally a mix of interests and selfish motives from all parties, was successfully scheduled.

In the year 2,000, Tang Yu and Runyu held a grand wedding in the Heavenly Realm.

After the wedding ceremony was completed, the two of them went straight to that elegant courtyard in the human world.

This is a residence that Runyu purchased in the mortal realm. It is surrounded by a protective barrier, and they have decided to spend the next few hundred years traveling in the mortal realm.

"Only those who have experienced excitement know what loneliness is. I am destined to be lonely forever. I eat alone, cultivate alone, read alone, and sleep alone every day. I have never experienced excitement."

But ever since you, Jiaojiao, appeared in my life, the whole world seems to have changed. You are like a fire that can burn away all the darkness and coldness in this world.

I have never been so happy, nor have I ever been so nervous.

After Runyu finished speaking, he slowly approached the person in front of him, his eyes filled with joy and intense love.

"Jiaojiao, are you happy today?"

Tang Yu didn't speak, but expressed her joy through her actions.

She smiled and kissed the person in front of her. Runyu's expression changed instantly, revealing countless suppressed desires.

He couldn't help but reach out and gently trace the cheek of the person in front of him with his finger, and Tang Yu felt a tingling sensation.
