Rebirth Counterattack with Space-Chapter 28 - The Secret Cant Be Kept Any Longer

Lu Yun truly began to cry this time, her voice no longer earth-shatteringly loud, but filled with accusation and suppression, like that of a small animal.

“Stop crying.”

Shitou’s face was lined with dark strokes as he gave a commanding shout. His face was taut, clearly, he had been very measured in his actions, yet her reaction made him feel an overwhelming sense of guilt—it was almost too much to handle— kids really are a nuisance.

“…Eh…” Lu Yun looked at him in terror, immediately stifling her crying, so abruptly that she even hiccupped several times.

“Can we have a proper conversation now?” Shitou’s face was all seriousness, and to Lu Yun, that expression seemed instantly superimposed with the cold one he had worn in his previous life when facing her. She secretly swallowed, feeling inexplicably guilty and hurriedly nodded her head, frantically calling out inside her heart.

Daddy, Mommy, you’re really too mean, why did you sneak away, leaving me with this “fierce beast”? Come back quickly, or you won’t see your most beautiful, cutest, most caring, and best-behaved daughter anymore.

But obviously, the loud calls from the bottom of Lu Yun’s heart were unable to connect with the brainwave signals of Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan. She could only watch helplessly as Shitou unfolded his devil-like black wings, every syllable he uttered struck directly at her heart, making it impossible for her to ignore.

“You are not Lu Yun, who are you really? All of these things must be your masterpieces, right?” Shitou stared into her eyes, leaving her no room to retreat, “Or are you actually the Lady Snail? Who have you taken a liking to?”

As if the Lady Snail had come not to repay but to choose a husband.

Lu Yun’s eyes widened.

“Don’t make me repeat myself, I don’t have much patience.” Shitou looked at her straight on.

Lu Yun pursed her lips, wanting to cry all over again.

“No more crying.”

Faced with such a tearful girl, Shitou was also on the verge of losing it, his eyes glaring threateningly at her.

“Lu Aijun, you… why are you like this in this life?” Lu Yun’s voice was full of accusation, her gaze incredulous and filled with despair as she looked at Shitou.

This life? Why did that sound so strange? And how did she know the name he intended to give himself?

“Who are you really?” Shitou couldn’t hold back anymore and suddenly stood up.

“I am Lu Yun.” Lu Yun, watching the shadow loom overhead, nervously swallowed and blurted out the truth, “But I am the Lu Yun from thirty years in the future.”

She had done it, she had let her biggest secret slip out. Hadn’t she sworn never to tell, no matter what? Lu Yun’s face turned pale.

“What on earth is going on?” Shitou sat back down, pensive; this could explain the oddness of the little girl before him. Although the situation seemed incredible, as long as the little girl in front of him hadn’t changed, he wasn’t unable to accept it.

…

“…that’s what happened—I don’t even know why I suddenly returned to the age of six? Maybe it was just a nightmare. Or perhaps it’s because the heavens saw we had done many good deeds and gave us a chance to change our fate.”

Clenching her teeth, Lu Yun briefly recounted her and her parents’ experiences in their past life. She omitted the beginning and the end, not mentioning him or the space. Afterwards, she asked, “How did you figure it out all of a sudden?”

“The change was too great, and also your gaze, it really isn’t like that of a six-year-old child. Though I was just guessing and didn’t dare to be too sure, who knew you hadn’t grown much wiser with age in your previous life.”

With a smile that was not quite a smile, Shitou looked at her; his next words nearly made Lu Yun’s blood boil with regret.

She glared at him, her teeth grinding audibly: “…”

“Also, I never told anyone the name Lu Aijun.” Seeing how infuriated Lu Yun was, Shitou helpfully added this, but Lu Yun, consumed by her bitter anguish, didn’t hear it.

She was too busy with her grief, covering her little face with both hands, thinking that this man was truly her nemesis, in her previous life and this one alike.

In this life, he was so young, he couldn’t possibly be sure, yet he was able to trick her already. If she had been calmer and not called him “Lu Aijun,” wouldn’t her secret have remained concealed?

“What’s the deal with those things?” Shitou, looking at Lu Yun covering her face, couldn’t help but reveal a thick smile. He felt no emotion regarding her mentioned tragedies, because after all, none of them had occurred in this life and they were unlikely to happen again, right? So, what concerned him was something else.

“I have a space, and I put quite a few things inside it in my previous life,” Lu Yun regretfully admitted. Feeling defeated and resigned, she spoke listlessly as if ready to face the consequences.

Anyway, since her biggest secret had been exposed, it was only a matter of time before the space would be revealed too. It was better to come clean.

Shitou looked at her, and after a long pause, he finally nodded, “What about me? You didn’t mention me.”

“You died,” Lu Yun finally returned a super big smile, saying with schadenfreude, “You left here at eighteen and later made a lot of money. During my freshman year in college, news suddenly arrived that you died trying to save three kids.”

After Lu Yun chuckled, she looked at Shitou’s indifferent face and suddenly felt irrationally annoyed, “How can you be so cold? You seem totally unaffected by hearing about your own death?”

Weren’t you just laughing joyfully?

Shitou couldn’t help but burst into laughter as he looked at her.

“Hey, shouldn’t you be very sad and upset after hearing this? Why are you laughing?” Lu Yun, full of indignation, stood up; for some reason, she found his laughter intolerable.

“What should I do then?” Shitou, ceasing his smile, asked her flatly.

“Err…” Lu Yun was stuck.

“You like me.” It was a statement of fact.

“Nonsense, I’ve never liked you. You cold hunk, always with a deadpan face—who would like you?” Lu Yun immediately exploded, instinctively retorting. When she realized what she had said, and remembering that in her previous life he indeed had died young, her face darkened instantly.

She hadn’t intended to curse him; she didn’t want him to die young. Tears involuntarily streamed down Lu Yun’s face, and she murmured, “I didn’t mean to curse you.”

“…stop crying, I know, I don’t blame you,” Shitou watched as Lu Yun’s face shifted rapidly from sunny to rainy, somewhat dumbfounded. After a speechless moment, he finally sighed and resignedly began to comfort her. They say women are made of water, and indeed that’s not wrong.

So troublesome, women are troublesome, and girl children are just as troublesome.

He accidentally voiced his inner thought, and suddenly, Lu Yun, who had been slightly moved, pushed his hand away and yelled at him, “You’re the one who’s troublesome. You’re the most troublesome.”

Fully petrified, Shitou responded: “…”
