Life Simulation: I Caused the Female Sword Immortal to Regret Forever-Chapter 378: Love Is Always Feeling in Debt:
The Ferris wheel was a classic dating place. An enclosed space, a quiet atmosphere, and the slow rise in height.
As the steel and machinery turned slowly, the noise of the outside world was blocked out, leaving only the faint sound of breathing and the gaze between two people. Because of this, even now, after the revival of spiritual energy, the Ferris wheel was still extremely popular.
"Moli, come on up," Xu Xi said, holding Xu Moli’s hand as they stepped into one of the cabins.
Buzz—
The world began to rotate. The night flowed through the steel structures like thick syrup, covering the cabin inside and out, with only a few gaps letting in the colorful lights of the amusement park.
The neon lights compressed by the horizon became faint glimmers, refracted through the glass into broken patterns of light, soft and dreamy, incredibly magical.
Xu Moli blinked lightly, and the scattered lights shattered into tiny specks.
It’s so slow...
Sitting inside the Ferris wheel, that was Xu Moli’s first and simplest thought. But she didn’t dislike it, because inside this small space, it was only her and Brother. This was their private space called [Xu Xi and Xu Moli], peaceful and undisturbed.
"Brother, have you ever been to an amusement park before?" Xu Moli asked, sitting across from Xu Xi while looking out at the misty lights of the city, which became smaller and smaller as they ascended.
From Xu Xi’s point of view, he could see the girl's profile bathed in colored lights, her skin soft and glowing.
"I haven’t," Xu Xi said, reaching out to smooth her hair. "When I had no money, I didn’t dare to come. When I had money, I didn’t want to come."
Hearing this, Xu Moli looked surprised, then smiled brightly.
"Then I'm very happy," she said.
"Why?"
"Because Brother’s first amusement park visit is with Moli," she said, extending her finger, flicking him lightly.
"Brother, it hurts~~~"
With the cabin’s movement, the lights brightened and dimmed. Xu Xi gave a helpless smile and flicked her forehead again. "Don’t say things that can cause misunderstandings. If someone overheard, they could get the wrong idea."
"...Moli knows," the girl nodded obediently. Whether she really understood, Xu Xi didn’t know, and he didn’t plan to argue. He flicked her forehead once more to punish her lightly.
The Ferris wheel rotated steadily. The heavy steel cabin, like a grain of sand in the universe, repeatedly blocked the moonlight. Xu Xi gazed at the shifting clouds and moon.
"Here," after playfully punishing his mischievous sister, Xu Xi handed her a few candies—lime, blueberry, and strawberry, all her favorite flavors.
"Thank you, Brother," Xu Moli said, taking the candies carefully. She unwrapped one, placed it in her mouth, and savored it slowly, as if tasting a priceless treasure. She savored it even slower than the flow of time itself, more carefully than the trivial details of daily life.
"Brother’s candy always tastes the best," she said with a smile. She didn’t eat them all at once but sealed the rest carefully into her small space, saying she would save them for later.
That expression reminded Xu Xi of a dream he had once seen when the Sorceress first arrived in the real world, a dream where the Sorceress wandered the world alone and Moli lay sick on a hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, waiting for her Brother to come back.
"If you ever want more, you can ask me."
"No need, Brother," she said, her voice playful and sweet. "Moli already has enough. These candies are so sweet, just one lasts a long time."
As she spoke, her gaze drifted back to the window. The cabin had risen even higher now, and the crowds below looked like tiny black dots melting into the night.
"Brother..." her soft voice mingled with the mechanical sounds of the Ferris wheel.
"These two months, I’ve been really happy."
"Really... thank you, Brother." freēnovelkiss.com
"For always indulging me, always tolerating me, accepting all my willfulness and stubbornness."
Her slender fingers gripped the cold metal handrail, looking hesitant. After a moment, she quietly apologized. "I’m sorry."
"Alright, I understand," Xu Xi answered gently.
The cabin was now passing through a dark side. Inside, there was no light. Their faces could not be seen, but the familiar warmth of Xu Xi's voice remained.
Moli felt guilty. She thought she had stolen too much of Xu Xi’s time. But Xu Xi didn’t think that way.
"Moli, do you still remember life in Blackstone City?"
Blackstone City, the place where, during the first simulation, Xu Xi and his sister had lived as ordinary mortals before he entered the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"I remember," Moli nodded.
Xu Xi smiled softly and, in the dark cabin, recalled the days of Blackstone City. Those were hard times, when the two of them clung to each other for warmth, living through cold, hardship, and fear.
"Moli, I always felt sorry for you."
Xu Moli’s pure eyes reflected the quiet world of the night and the familiar figure in front of her. She didn’t understand. Why would Brother feel guilty?
Xu Xi gently patted her head and said, "I always wanted to give you a good life, but I couldn’t."
"I felt guilty because I saved you, but still made you suffer."
"Later, when we joined the Heavenly Sword Sect, life got better, and I thought it would continue getting better."
"But I was too arrogant..."
"I thought that living in a world filled with spiritual energy would be good for you, but instead, it caused you to fall into a long coma."
"Moli, because of my mistake, you lost the most important years of your childhood."
Xu Xi paused for a moment and then smiled faintly. "That’s why I really love these two months. They make me feel like I'm making up for the past regrets."
Ah...
The world turned quiet.
Only Moli’s bright eyes trembled slightly.
She didn’t know how to describe her feelings at that moment.
It was clearly Xu Xi who had saved her, and that alone was worth more than anything in the world.
Yet he still felt guilty for not giving her a better life.
A sentence echoed in the girl’s mind.
[Love is always feeling in debt.]
"Brother..." Moli looked at Xu Xi and smiled.
It was a complicated smile, carrying the willfulness of her childhood, the fragility of her sickly years, and the resilience of her growing up.
But it contained no sadness or tears.
Because showing such a face would only make her Brother worry.
"Brother, can you keep accompanying me to do these silly, childish things in the future?"
"Of course," Xu Xi said without hesitation.
The answer was clear.
The sickness from the calamity of Heaven had already been healed.
But the rift left in her heart from their long separation had only now, finally, been gently mended.
