The days when I was a maid in another world

Sterling's hair is all white, but his skin has no wrinkles. His appearance shows no signs of aging, but he looks like a handsome young man with natural white hair.

But I can feel that he is indeed aging.

His every move has lost the vigorous momentum of the past, but has a slowness similar to laziness or powerlessness.His eyes were no longer as sharp as knives, but as serene and peaceful as an old man's.

More directly, we shared the same bed and he never touched me again.I know it's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he has lost the physical strength needed for that kind of exercise.

When he fell asleep, I looked at his face carefully with the help of the moonlight, and the grief in my heart couldn't be restrained, and at the same time, the feeling of regret was overflowing.

In the past few days, I have been fighting with him because of Anna and Alger's affairs, and I have been ignoring him, but right now, I can't even make out with him...

In order to save Alger, I asked him to use the holy object. I said that I would give up my chance and stay with him forever.But if he is really going to die soon, then what's the point of me staying in this world?If this is the case, it must be God's punishment for my selfishness and stupidity.

Before, I have never delved into whether there are side effects of using the holy object, never thought about where the energy of the holy object will appear, and never thought about whether doing so would be detrimental to Sterling...

If I didn't save Alger, but left this opportunity to myself, the result would be that I would return to the original world, and Sterling would age alone and rapidly until he died.

He used the sacred object three times for me, and the price paid three times has created the current situation.

I deeply regret and blame myself, and this kind of regret and self-blame is completely useless.I didn't even dare to express my sorrow too much in front of him, because I wanted him to be happy for the rest of his life.

***

The weather outside is fine, and Sterling wants to go out for a walk, so I naturally want to be by his side.

We came to the flower bed and sat down. He put the notebook that he had been holding on his lap on his knee carefully. The notebook was left by his ancestors. He said that all the records on it were after the ancestors used the sacred objects The number of lives lived.

For example, Sterling's father, the previous lord of Tled, used a holy object in order to allow his wife to give birth to an heir. Later, in order to alleviate the severe drought in the Tled area, he used the holy object again. In the end, he Only lived to be 44 years old.Before he died, he had never suffered from any disease or serious injury. It was as if he was cursed. After using the sacred object for the last time, his hair was all white, and he died within a year.

This story made me feel even more chilled.Sterling has shared the sacred object four times so far. The first time is to satisfy his wife's wish of "being with the one I love forever", the second time is to send me back, the third time is to let me come back, and the third time Four times, he promised me to save Alger.He's used it so many times, I'm really scared that he'll suddenly...

Noticing my gaze, he turned his head and smiled at me softly, and said, "Still thinking about me?"

The circles of my eyes were instantly sour, but I had to resist the urge to cry, and pretended to be calm and said: "I was thinking, if someone made a wish on the sacred object, hoping that the holder of the sacred object would live a long life, what would happen to the consequences."

The energy source of the sacred object is the vitality of the holder. If the sacred object brings more vitality to the holder, isn't this a bit contradictory?

He smiled and didn't answer my question, but reached out and pinned a strand of hair on my cheek behind my ear, and said softly: "Don't be sad, even if I am not aging now, I will be old sooner or later. And you, Staying in this world won't change anything, right?"

I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered the problem with myself, obviously he also discovered it.

"My time seems to stand still here..." I don't know if that's the right way to say it, but I'm sure he understands what I mean.

He nodded and said, "I've guessed it since your gunshot wound healed perfectly. And your hair, even if you cut it, will soon be the same as when you first came here, and it won't grow any longer. "

"Your power of observation is always so terrible." I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, always feeling like a transparent person in front of him, with no secrets at all.

"Tang," he looked up at the blue sky, and sighed softly, "If I'm gone, will you be lonely if you stay here alone?"

I grabbed his hand and said stubbornly and firmly: "Why are you not here?! You are only 30 years old, and your physical fitness is so good. It is rare to live to 80 years old. I will always be with you. Where are you going? I'll follow wherever I go, and I'll do whatever you want!"

He rubbed my head with a smile and said, "I feel very happy to have you by my side."

"I'm also very happy to be by your side." Now I have completely figured out, what family business, what relatives and friends, nothing is as important as him!

He looked moved, stretched out his arms to hug me, and then patted my back lightly.After letting me go, he said softly, "Don, can you call Talis for me?"

I don't know what he wants to find Talis all of a sudden, but seeing that his expression is the same, I still nodded in agreement, and then got up to find Talis.

When I rushed back with Talis, I was relieved to see him still sitting peacefully by the flower bed from afar.Now, his every move affects my heart, and I'm very afraid that he will do something impulsive after pulling me away.

When Talis and I approached, he held out his hand to me, and I handed it over without thinking.He held my hand and gently kneaded it for a while, then looked up at my face carefully, and then smiled brightly at me.

His smile is as dazzling and charming as his appearance, and anyone who sees it will feel good.

"I have lied to you and bullied you, do you still hate me?" He asked softly.

I immediately shook my head and said, "You have already compensated me with your feelings, and now I am very satisfied with your boyfriend."

He nodded, seeming very satisfied with my answer.Then, he let go of my hand, turned to Talis and said, "Let's get started."

What to start with?

I couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously turned to look at Talis.

Talis hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Sterling and said, "I hope Mr. Tang can return to his original world."

I instantly understood what they were trying to do, and quickly turned around and shouted at Sterling: "How dare you!"

How dare you grant this wish!How can you do this!

Sterling looked at me deeply, and before I pounced on him to cover his mouth, he whispered a few words: "I grant your wish."

He granted Talis' wish...

When I was about to pounce on Sterling, my eyes were dizzy for a while, and my head was also dizzy for a while. When I regained my clarity again, my body had already followed the momentum of leaning forward and rushed straight to the mahogany desk in front of me.

hateful!I slammed the desk under my body, and I couldn't help crying while cursing.

The bastard!He actually sent me back without my consent!How can he do this?How could he do this...

His current body has to pay the price of shortening his lifespan again, I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid it's...

"Tang Ze?" There was a knock on the door, and my friend called my name outside.

But I don't want to bother with anyone at all now, I just want to go back to that world again and see Sterling again.

The door was pushed open—

"Tang Ze, since you're inside, why don't you make a sound?"

"What are you doing lying on the table?"

"Fuck, why are you crying?"

"Speak, what's the matter with you?"

***

After ignoring the evening entertainment, I drove home alone.After a quick bite to eat, I went to the attic as usual.

The mahogany table in the attic is still there, and the meteorite I found was also there as it was then.However, no matter how I fiddled with the stone and its box, I never traveled to that world again.

Even if it was all a dream, I hope to go back to that dream again, to meet that person, the person I have always cared about.

Unfortunately, in the past six months since I came back, I can only see him once in my sleep, and the dreams are all things that happened before—either dancing with him at the ball wearing a mask, or me Sitting on the stage and playing the piano, he sat down and watched with a smile, either riding a horse with him and not hunting but quarreling, or hugging him on the bed and making love...

I have to admit, I miss him, I miss him very, very much, and I wish I could go back to that world to see him right away.

Every night, I would come to the attic to fiddle with that stone and feel for that mahogany table. How I wish I could be like that at the beginning, and accidentally travel to that world again.

I don't believe that he is no longer alive. How could such a powerful person just say that he is not here and then he is gone.

"Dang-dang..." The old-fashioned grandfather clock rang. I took a look and saw that it was already eleven o'clock at night.

It seems, only to try again tomorrow.

Reluctantly putting down the stone in my hand, I stood up and walked out of the attic, then turned and went downstairs.

When I went down to the second floor, there was a sudden crashing sound in the attic, which was similar to the sound of coins rubbing against each other, which shocked me.

What is that sound?

With doubts and caution, I went back to the attic again.Attached to the door panel and listened, but didn't hear any suspicious movement, so he pushed the door open, then touched the switch on the wall, and turned on the light in the attic.

The moment the light came on, I was almost blinded by the golden light.I squinted my eyes slightly to get used to it, and when I looked again, I was stunned!

The golden gold coins are piled up on the ground like a hill, and on the top of the "mountain" sits a man with short black hair, fair skin, exquisite and profound features, and a dark green military uniform on his body.

"Hey baby, I'm here to marry you." He smiled at me and said.

I widened my eyes and murmured, "Sterling..."

He stood up, walked down Jinshan, walked to my side, hugged me into his arms without saying a word, then raised my chin with one hand and kissed my mouth hard.

I stared blankly at him, letting him kiss my lips hard.

"I didn't kiss well enough, or do you have another new love?" He frowned and asked dissatisfied.

I ignored his words, still immersed in my own thoughts, and asked softly: "Am I dreaming..."

"Tell me first, do you miss me?"

I nodded obediently and said "yes".

"Then where is your bedroom?"

"downstairs."

He didn't speak anymore, he directly picked me up and walked out of the attic.

Until I rolled on the bed with him and was pressed under him and kept asking for it, I still wondered if this was a romantic dream.

Why did he suddenly appear here?And still look young with black hair?Still showing up with so many gold coins?

I want to see him, but I have never coveted his property, this dream is a bit too much...

"I'm working so hard, honey, can't you concentrate?" He bit my lip lightly, expressing his dissatisfaction again.

"Sterling..." I called hoarsely.

"Ok?"

"Is that you?"

"Then who do you think it is?"

"Are you really here? Am I dreaming?"

"How could I give you up to someone else? So, I brought all my wealth to marry you."

"Are you all right? How did you get here? Your hair... um!"

He kissed me hard, then leaned close to my ear and whispered: "If you want to know, you have to comfort my thirsty body and mind..."

What he said made sense, to feed the hungry body and mind first.

So, I put aside all distracting thoughts, hugged him tightly, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.

***

I thought Sterling's arrival was really just a dream, but when I woke up in the morning, the pain in my body told me that the madness of last night was real, and the person next to me who was smiling at me told me that he was really coming Come to me.

I stretched out my hand to pinch his face, the tight flesh further confirmed his real existence.

"Why pinch me? Did it hurt you last night?" He asked with a smirk.

I turned over, hugged his waist tightly, and buried my face in his chest.

He froze for a moment, then raised his hand to touch my short-cut hair, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

"If this is a dream, then I will never wake up." I muffled.

He hugged me back tightly, and said with a light smile, "That is to say, you agreed to my marriage proposal?"

"As long as you stay by my side, I promise you anything."

"Deal!" He answered quickly, with joy in his tone.

After being tender with him for a while, I let him go and said seriously: "Since you really came here, shouldn't you tell me everything?"

"For the sake of your good performance last night, I'll tell you all about it." He pinched my ear with a smile and said.

He has been studying the diary left by his ancestors, estimating the life lost by different wishes.Because he had sent me back before and called me back again, he felt that he could use the remaining life points to send me back, but whether he was still alive, he had to resign himself to fate.So he decided to take a gamble, just like the last time he asked Talis to make a wish to bring me back, he asked Talis to make another wish to send me back.

He said that everyone has two chances to make a wish, but he didn't say that he himself has two chances to make a wish.If the holder of the sacred object came to make a wish, then the price paid would not be his life, but the entire family.

The Ouroboros is their family's totem and their family's patron saint, and it has always existed since the beginning of this family's origin.Therefore, for holy relics, family interests are the biggest price and the biggest restriction on the holder.

It's a pity that the holder of this term did not take the family's interests too seriously.In his words, since his parents died, he has no relatives.In that world where many people want him to die, he is not living happily.

After sending me away, he was almost dying. With his last ounce of will, he made his first wish - to give me back my lost youth and life.

Extending the heirs is one of the most important things for a family, especially as the head of the family, having no heirs is indeed a very high price.

His wish was granted, his gray hair turned back to black hair, his old age became energetic, and he returned to the state when he was 28 years old.

Then, sitting on the wealth he had accumulated, he made a second wish--I will take these gold coins to Don's side, at the cost of losing the lordship and all the territories.

If the price is not enough, the wish cannot be realized.

He added another one - at the cost of losing this bloodline power.

Hearing what he said, I immediately looked behind him.Sure enough, the tattoo on his back changed - the dragon closed its eyes.

"This tattoo will get lighter and lighter until it disappears." He said softly.

"Do you regret it?" I blurted out and asked, actually, I wanted to ask, was the price he paid too high?If he misses me, he can find another person to make a wish to get me back. If he has no heirs, he still has his nephew Aaron.

"Do you think I'll regret it?" He looked at me with a smile, "It's you, now that I'm here to join you, will you despise me?"

"It depends on your performance." Since he insisted on making such a joke, I had no choice but to accompany him, "If you dare to treat me badly or be unfaithful, then I must let you leave the house."

"I will hold your thigh tightly, and I won't give you a chance to drive me away!" He smiled and rushed over, touching my thigh dishonestly.

I slapped his hand away and kept thinking about another thing.

"What are you thinking?" He whispered in my ear.

"I'm thinking about what kind of identity I can give you."

He suddenly appeared in this world, just like a black household without a registered permanent residence, I have to find a way to get him an identity certificate.How to do it?Go to underdeveloped countries such as Africa or Latin America to apply for an identity certificate, and then change your nationality?For the money, it shouldn't be hard to do.

"Find some people for me first." He said suddenly.

"Ah?" I couldn't help but startled, "Who are you looking for?"

"Wen Quanlin, Qiao Yaqin, Wen Yan." He suddenly said a few names in Chinese.

"Wait, why are you looking for them? No, no, how do you know about them? Also, how can you speak Chinese?" I said it in Chinese in a hurry.

He seemed relieved, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not only from the same country as my mother, but also know her family."

"Who is your mother?" I vaguely thought of a name, although I had never seen that person, I had heard it since I was a child.

"Wen Wan, my mother's name."

really.I couldn't help but sighed, feeling very emotional for a while.

It is said that there is no accident in the world, and all accidents are the product of necessity.At this point, I take it for granted.

Sterling is looking for his grandparents and uncles, the Wen family, and I know the Wen family all too well.

Wen Quanlin and my grandfather are good friends for life, Wen Wan and my mother are college classmates, Wen Yan helped me a lot when I was studying abroad, and now, I am entangled with Wen Wan's son, and I am still with them, the Wen family. What a fate.

"So, the reason why Aunt Wen Wan disappeared is because she went to that world?" Although I was asking a question, I have already confirmed this idea.Now that I think about it, isn't the portrait hanging in his mother's room in the palace really gentle?It's obviously somewhat similar to Wen Yan, but I couldn't possibly think about it at the time.

"Well," Sterling nodded, "My mother also accidentally went to that world through the 'gate', and was left behind by my father."

"No wonder your mother was barren at first." I couldn't help but sighed.

Since it has passed from this world, it must be "time still" like me, so how could Wen Wan's belly change?In order to give birth to Sterling, the Wen Wan couple must have paid a high price, which shows that they really love each other.

Sterling nodded silently, probably thinking of the same thing as me.

"Since you are from the Wen family, I don't need to cheat on your identity." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the Wen family has a big business, and it's easy to get an identity certificate for this grandson.

"As for whether they recognize you or not, that's up to you." I added.

Looking back at him carefully, I sighed again in my heart: I thought he came to this world with nothing but me, how could he know that besides being rich, he has a background that is not weaker than mine, alas, I am doomed to be eaten by him Do you have to die...

"I have something that can prove my identity. I think they will be very happy to have a grandson or nephew like me." He smiled confidently.

I couldn't help giving him a blank look, and muttered: "So, you didn't come here for me, but for them, did you?"

"Are you jealous?" He approached with a smile, jokingly said, "I wasn't sure that I could find them before I came, but I was sure that I could find you. If that doesn't work, then I don't have to recognize them. Bring them my mother's letter."

"I'm joking." I quickly explained, "Come on, let's pack up and go to your grandpa's house."

Alas, what worries me now is, what if they find out that I am their grandson's "daughter-in-law"?What if my dad finds out?What will happen if my stepmother and younger brother find out?

From the moment Sterling chased me, my life was destined to be in chaos.

I didn't ask Sterling if the 'door' he mentioned was related to that meteorite, I only knew that it was collected by my grandfather from his grandfather, so no matter what I think, I was "married" unintentionally past...

***

"Sterling, have you been planning to come to this world since you confirmed that I am a time traveler?"

"It turned out that it was only because of my mother's narration that I was curious about this world, but after falling in love with you, I decided to either keep you or follow you."

"Then why don't you leave me?"

"I don't want you to be young and beautiful when I'm old. So, let's grow old together."

"……you win."

"Well, I'm happy with the prize!"
