Moved to Golden Courtyard

Sister Nia...is this a little too soft?

419. My existence is Aponia’s new prison

Not long after, the first guest of the day arrived outside the tree hole.

Xu Qi didn't plan to speak. He still wanted to see how Abonya usually dealt with it. After all... psychological counseling! Does it look very handsome?

The door was opened and a woman who looked to be around 40 years old came in. Xu Qi took a quick glance at her and saw a trace of sadness between her brows, as if she had encountered some troubles.

It seemed that the woman was here for the first time. She looked a little nervous, clasped her hands together, and spoke softly.

"Saint Lady...can you help me?"

After the woman finished speaking, Abonya did not respond. Seeing this, Xu Qi continued to sit quietly.

Time passed slowly, and in the empty room outside the tree hole, it seemed that only the woman's breathing could echo, as if... she was the only one here.

It doesn't look like a confession room, nor a counseling room, but more like... a confession room.

Gradually, the woman became bolder, and she began to mutter to herself, "Saint, I know my request may be a little difficult, but I just...

I want a place where I can talk.

My son used to have good grades, but I don’t know what happened! After the new semester started, he was like a different person. His scores in the baseline test were also very poor, and the teacher often complained that he didn’t listen carefully in class.

He is in the third year of junior high school now! If he fails to get into a key high school, he won’t be able to get into a key university, and if he fails to get into a key university, he won’t be able to find a good job! Then his life will be ruined!"

In the tree hole, Abonya blinked, then turned around and pressed against Xu Qi, but because she was too close, the soft part of her body was pressing against Xu Qi's arms and chest, causing it to be slightly deformed.

Xu Qi's body stiffened instantly. He turned his head tremblingly and spoke in a low voice with a dry mouth.

"Sister Nia?"

Aponia leaned close to Xu Qi's ear and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Actually, I've always wanted to ask, why do you think fate can be determined so easily?"

"Forehead?"

"Just like what this mother said, she believed that a test could determine the fate of a fifteen-year-old child, but... why? I couldn't understand it and even found it a little absurd."

Xu Qi laughed. He looked through the window at the mother outside the tree hole. She was still talking about her child's recent situation and was worried that he would fail the high school entrance examination and his life would be ruined.

"Perhaps it's because... their lives were also determined in this way. They just move forward along that predetermined path without having to think about anything.

Maybe I once had my own ideals and persistence, but I gave them all up in the end. "

Aponiya asked, looking at Xu Qi's profile.

"So what do you think? What do you think can determine your own destiny?"

"It's me."

Xu Qi said calmly.

"How you plan to live... is up to you."

A pretty strong sense of belief...

The woman outside was still talking, but Aponya was already annoyed, and she whispered something through the tree hole.

"What your child will be like in the future does not depend on you, me, or even a test. Go back and ask your child what he thinks.

If he plans to stay with that girl forever, what kind of efforts will he have to make in the future? As an elder, you should not only let him know about the present, but also about the future.

Even if it's not something you can arrange or control."

As soon as the words were spoken, the precepts were established.

The woman stood there in a daze, bowed deeply towards the tree hole, and left.

Xu Qi was stunned and asked, "So her son is in a premature relationship?"

"Well, I saw something about her son in her destiny."

Xu Qi laughed and was about to speak, but he saw Abonya staring at him with a serious face.

"Um... Sister Nia?"

"If you weren't here today, maybe I would just follow her wishes and say something insignificant, but just now, I felt that your words made sense, so I changed my mind."

"and then?"

"Now, her fate becomes uncertain."

"Forehead?"

"Xu Qi, do you know how much effort I have put in to change a person's fate?"

Xu Qi shook his head honestly.

"No matter how I interfere, the predetermined outcome will not change. It's just a matter of sooner or later. I have fought with fate countless times, but I have always been the loser..."

Aponya laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"I am like a canary imprisoned by fate. No matter how hard I try, all I can see is what fate wants me to see."

Aponya's eyes were filled with complicated expressions.

She gently held Xu Qi's hands and said to him, "You are the one who changed destiny. Everything related to you is becoming hazy and blurred.

Xu Qi...you may not understand how important you are to me, but today I just want to verify whether you can continue to influence me.

I also want to tell you that you are the one who opened the cage for me, Xu Qi."

Xu Qi was silent.

How could he not feel the emotions hidden behind these words?

The one who brought Aponya freedom was like giving her a new life...

And as smart as Abonya is, she naturally knows that the reason Xu Qi has not chosen to take a step forward with her is that he doesn't know how to deal with a love without reason.

But this love is not without reason.

What the Abonya crowdfunding group 456127940 has been doing all along is telling Xu Qi...

Tell him - you deserve Aponia's love.

But Xu Qi still felt... there was an indescribable discomfort.

He lowered his head, not daring to look into Sister Nia's eyes, and just said.

"So, Sister Nia... you have challenged fate so many times, are you planning to give up?"

"I didn't give up. I won. I saw that victory in you."

"If that's the case, Sister Nia..." Xu Qi bit her lip tightly, and finally said these cruel words, "I would rather not have appeared in your life."

Aponia, who was always so calm, suddenly turned pale...

She had never behaved so badly before.

Her trembling eyes and arms revealed how helpless she was at the moment.

"Xu Qi..."

"Because it's so unfair to you."

"?"

"Sister Nia, the one who has always known other people's fate, wanted to change it, and constantly challenged fate is you... not me..."

Xu Qi suddenly choked up.

"If the meaning of my existence is to help Sister Nia, I am willing to do so. But if the meaning of my existence is to make Sister Nia bow her head and accept her fate!

It is to let Sister Nia accept that she cannot resist fate, and only others can break that cage! I...I can't accept this!"

420, Abonya, soft

In the tree hole, Xu Qi was just like Abonya's usual patients or preachers. He was also pouring out his heart to Abonya.

But perhaps the only difference is... he can stick close to Abonya's body and hold Abonya's soft and boneless little hand, while others can only stand outside the tree hole.

Abonya looked at Xu Qi. She was about to lose all hope, but little by little... little by little... little by little, she began to change as Xu Qi spoke.

She listened quietly to Xu Qi's story. When he finally said, "I can't accept this!" At that moment, Abonya's heart seemed to be beating like a drum.

Jumping awesomely...

"Why do you have such an idea?"

"I...I can't explain it. I just feel that it's really unfair to you, Sister Nia, to simply attribute all the credit to me like this!

Actually, before, when I was in the car, I wanted to ask a question.

Sister Nia, you are here listening and guiding every believer to the trajectory of their destiny. To them, you are actually like the god of destiny.

Those who come to pray, they all think that you have changed them and given them a new life, but in fact...the ones who really helped them are still themselves. "

Aponia's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Sister Nia, don't you think this is very similar to us? You always think that it is my existence that broke the cage of fate that bound you, but I think it is also Sister Nia's choice that has made me what I am today.

Sister Nia, your destiny...is changed by you."

……

Xu Qi finished speaking, and the tree hole fell into a rare silence.

Aponia still kept holding Xu Qi's hands tightly. The nun suddenly lowered her head, and their foreheads touched each other, as if they had a spiritual interaction.

"But if I thought that, maybe... I wouldn't like you that much, Xu Qi."

Xu Qi's heart ached.

But he pursed his lips and spoke anyway.

"Sister Nia, this is not a question of how you think, but... I think this is the case. Sister Nia may not know that you are my hero..."

Aponya blinked, looking puzzled.

"Have you forgotten? Sister Nia, when I was a child, I was in that out-of-control 956 car, and you helped me seal up that painful memory."

Aponya remembered that after the 956 incident, Xu Qi specifically mentioned this matter to her.

"The moment I awakened as a New Type, I heard Romuel's words, and I remembered everything... Sister Nia, if it weren't for you, I might have suffered from a very serious mental illness."

Aponya's mouth was half open.

When Xu Qi mentioned this matter, she didn't take it to heart.

But at this moment, vague memories gradually came to mind.

She remembered the boy with dead eyes.

"I felt too much despair, and experienced the life that Romuel sacrificed to save everyone. For me at that time... such a memory was undoubtedly unbearable."

"so……"

“So Sister Nia, you are my hero and you have given me a new life. If you think that it is me now who has changed your destiny, then I can be even more sure!

Sister Nia... the person who changed your destiny is you."

……

"But Xu Qi, then I won't like you this much anymore. Can you accept that?"

Xu Qi's eyes suddenly became firm.

He raised his head slowly, and Aponiya did the same. Their eyes met each other, and the nun felt the heat in Xu Qi's eyes.

The original calmness was no longer possible to maintain. Even Abonya couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, which eventually spread to his trembling eyes.

"Then I will make Sister Nia fall in love with me again! I will take Sister Nia on a date, give her gifts, and give her all the best care in the world! ..."

He was halfway through his words when Aponiya stretched out his hand to stop him.

The nun lowered her eyes, and where Xu Qi couldn't see, her neck and earlobes were covered with a bright red like rouge.

The weak tone seemed to be begging Xu Qi...

"Don't... don't say that anymore..."

"Sister Nia?"
