It’s better to be late than never to have shown up; this saying applies both to people and to emotions, making one’s heart uneasy.
Cheng Su turned her head to look at Qi Taiguo and nodded.
"I should feel happy, almost unreal, as if dreaming." Cheng Su said, "In my past life, I was never found, but now..."
Everything has changed.
"Taiguo, Little Cheng Su has been found. She’s now five, her character still forming. She’ll live in the Cheng family’s large household, surrounded by love, unlike in her past life: lonely, uneasy, lacking a sense of security." Cheng Su’s voice gradually dimmed, her gaze a bit lost.
"What are you trying to say?" Qi Taiguo held her hand.
"A person’s environment will decide their character and life path. Now, Little Cheng Su’s life is about to transform, so all her past experiences and even thoughts will change. Perhaps, there will be no ’me’ anymore..." Cheng Su’s gaze was deep.
Qi Taiguo’s heart trembled, his grip tightened, holding her hand, "What nonsense are you talking about? You’re right here, how can there be no you?"
"But..."
"Different life, different experiences, that’s true. But have you considered that perhaps your return is what caused all this to happen, what turned everything around." Qi Taiguo said solemnly, "One life ends, a new one begins, hence the concept of reincarnation, which makes the past life void. You and Little Cheng Su are two separate individuals, merely having once shared the same body and mind."
Cheng Su froze.
"Then why did I come back? Without her, how can there be me?"
"But without you, there’s no her either." Qi Taiguo said, "The ways of the universe are magical; don’t get caught up or you’ll be stuck. Just hold on to the fact that you and Little Cheng Su are two independent entities."
Cheng Su pursed her lips, rested her head on his shoulder, and gently closed her eyes.
"I’m afraid I’ll disappear, like in the past, eventually becoming nothing." That was her only worry.
