Strange Cards

Chapter 479 Will You Cry for Me?

"this.."

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

Chun seemed a little flustered for the first time. When it came to relationships, she was always straightforward.

You either like it or you don't.

You can like someone who doesn't like you back, but you can't be the one who interferes in their relationship.

Gu Nian noticed this and vigorously rubbed Chun's head.

"I'm not telling you to confess to Shigure and then steal her place in his heart."

"I know perfectly well that you can't take it away from me."

"No one can take Bai Yu's place in his heart; Bai Yu's place is too important to him."

"Even his deskmate for three years in high school couldn't be taken away after Bai Yu died; that girl was practically making it clear that she liked Shi Yu."

"I'm not asking you to be the one who interferes in the relationship. I'm just asking you to express your feelings and then confess to Shigure who you are."

"You chose the name Chun yourself, do you remember?"

"You said you chose the name Chun because your life was as short as the camellia flower, but I know there's another reason, the key one."

"You just want to keep those beautiful childhood memories in his heart, not memories of being on the opposing side."

Even though you're now on the same side, you still don't want to reveal your true identity.

Gu Nian took a breath as he spoke, looking at Chun, whose eyebrows were lowering more and more.

"If you tell Shigure that your name is Tsubaki, and you take him to that orphanage."

"He'll definitely figure it out."

"He's not stupid; he's incredibly smart."

"This little clue is enough for him to guess your identity. If he couldn't even guess this, he wouldn't have been called a once-in-a-millennium genius when he was a hunter."

As Gu Nian spoke, he grabbed Chun's shoulder and pressed his forehead against Chun's.

"We're all going to die; there's no escaping it."

"Don't let yourself have any regrets; confess your feelings when you should."

"Let him know that you never left and have been watching over him silently."

That's enough.

"You two were practically childhood sweethearts, and he had searched for you before."

"Tell him that you are the Xiaoya he was when he was a child, and that you have been by his side through so much."

"That's it, understand?"

Gu Nian looked at the dazed Chun, gently flicked Chun's forehead, and then said.

"Silly girl."

"I'll ask you one last question before I die."

Chun paused for a moment, while Gu Nian continued.

"When I die."

Will you cry for me?

"If so."

"Then I'll be very happy."

Chun turned her face away so that Gu Nian couldn't see her face before speaking.

"talent....."

"No way!"

Gu Nian smiled at Chun, who was saying one thing but meaning another, and then vigorously rubbed Chun's head before striding forward.

"I see."

Thank you for your answer.

Gu Nian strode forward against the wind, just like the spirited young man he once was.

As Chun watched Gu Nian walk away, she realized that Gu Nian didn't seem to be going to his death at all.

The hearty laughter came from afar, like that of a young man about to return home.

……

Gu Family Farm.

Gu Yue, who was eating while wearing a black trench coat, suddenly sensed something was wrong. The bowl in her hand trembled and fell to the ground, shattering on the spot.

"Are you alright, Mom?"

Qi Nannan quickly started checking Gu Yue's hands, but Gu Yue shook her head and said...

"fine."

"Mom just feels a little uneasy."

"I always feel like something is about to leave my mother."

Qi Nannan looked at the bowl in Gu Yue's hand and suddenly realized that it was the same bowl that Gu Nian had been using when he came back last time.

After Gu Nian left, the bowl returned to the cupboard and began to be used in rotation within the family again.

As for why Qi Nannan knew that the bowl was used by Gu Nian, it was because there was a small chip on the edge of the bowl.

That small hole was very noticeable and remained vivid in Qi Nannan's memory.

Gu Yue looked at Qi Nannan, then spoke after replacing the bowl with a new one.

"Why didn't Xiao Jiu come to the farm for dinner with you?"

Qi Nannan shook her head.

"Xiao Jiu's godmother took Xiao Jiu to see Aunt Liu."

"Xiao Jiu's godmother is going to another place for disaster relief recently, and she hasn't visited Aunt Liu in a long time."

"That auntie said she'd take Xiao Jiu to see a doctor once, and then bring Xiao Jiu back tomorrow morning."

Gu Yue nodded, while Qi Nannan looked at the broken bowl in the trash can and spoke after a long while.

"Mother."

"That bowl... is the one my uncle was using when I came back last time."

"What?!"

……

On Nanhai Mountain.

Shi Yu, dressed in a black cloak, looked at Gu Nian, who had only one arm and was holding the Tear of Worship, and knew that he was about to get serious.

A gust of wind blew, blowing open Gu Nian's clothes and making Shi Yu's cloak flutter.

Gu Nian was wearing the clothes that his grandmother had sewn for him before he left. He opened his arms and looked at Shi Yu.

"This wind is really blowing in an interesting way."

"Come on, Shigure."

"Use what Qi Wu prepared for you."

"After all, this is something we'll use last, so we can't afford any problems."

Let's enjoy the last breeze of today.

"Let's finish the duel for the savior."

Gu Nian took out the Joker while Shi Yu took out the small square box.

Shi Yu looked at the transparent slot on the box where a card could be inserted, took out the Ace of Spades and inserted it.

Shigure, wearing gloves, placed the box containing the Ace of Spades at his waist. Suddenly, countless cards poured out from one end of the box, circling around Shigure before settling on the other side.

"I will fight against fate."

"I'll show you how I win in the end."

As Shi Yu spoke, she raised her right hand, and after looking at her gloved hand, she strengthened her resolve.

As Shiyu spoke, she pulled the lever at one end of the box, and then the transparent box containing the Ace of Spades flipped over suddenly, revealing the Ace of Spades logo.

"Turn up!"

As the sound effect played, a huge Ace of Spades instantly sprang out from the front of the box.

Shigure slowly moved forward until she passed through the Ace of Spades, completing her transformation and gaining a sword in her hand.

Gu Nian watched Shi Yu complete her transformation, then fused with Joker and took out a plum blossom-themed card.

The plum blossom-themed cards attached to Gu Nian instantly transformed into a set of armor.

Gu Nian did not use the Mortal Blade, but instead took out a scepter made of plum blossom patterns.

The two watched as each other gradually went from a slow walk to a jog, and then to a sprint.

Neither of them used any strange card skills, but chose to determine the winner of this battle in the purest way.

That is the purest form of hand-to-hand combat.

Only when one side completely defeats the other can the true outcome be determined.
