Chapter 623: Do you believe in the underworld?
In fact, Li Zhengde's style of doing things is a bit similar to Li Mingxia's.
If I want to accomplish something, but no matter how hard I try, how many methods I use, or how much time I spend, I still can't do it, then I can choose to give up.
But I can only accept that if I can't do it, others can't do it either. It absolutely cannot be that I can't do it but others can.
Li Zhengde is like this now. He can possibly not know, and he can accept that, but he absolutely cannot accept that others know. This is something he absolutely cannot accept.
"Then if I really meet someone I really like in the future, can't I tell him? I can't promise you this."
Li Mingxia thought about it and felt that he really couldn't do it.
The reason why she doesn't tell anyone now is because she hasn't met the person who can accompany her for the rest of her life. If she really meets Li Mingxia, she can't accept hiding anything from this person. So Li Mingxia feels that she can't agree to Li Zhengde's request on this matter.
Although even if she pretended to agree, Li Zhengde would not know and there was nothing to say, but Li Mingxia did not want to lie to Li Zhengde.
Sure enough, after hearing what Li Mingxia said, a hint of displeasure appeared on Li Zhengde's face. He looked at the person who was recording the names with some grievance, and used more force in his hands.
"Can't you just promise me? It doesn't matter even if it's fake. I won't know about it." Li Zhengde felt helpless. Why couldn't his sister use her brain on these things?
Li Mingxia looked at Li Zhengde without saying anything, as if to say, "Do you think I would say something like this to deceive you?"
Li Zhengde looked at it for a while and then gave in.
Yes, Li Mingxia would not lie to herself about this matter. One is one and two is two. She would rather not answer than tell a lie to herself.
but……
Forget it. Li Zhengde soon became discouraged. Although he said that he couldn't lie to himself, the fact was that if Li Mingxia really lied to him, he would be unhappy.
"Sister, let's not talk about what kind of person you met. Even if he is a good person, can he be as close as blood relatives like us? You can trust him, why can't you trust me?" Li Zhengde still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he had already accepted the fact that Li Mingxia was unwilling to tell him this secret.
But Li Mingxia felt uncomfortable again when he saw Li Zhengde like this.
He sighed, "You, why are you so curious? Is it a good thing to know everything? Sometimes, not knowing anything and living in confusion might be a good thing."
Li Zhengde shook his head gently, "Sister, some things are like this, but some things can't be viewed that way."
"I avoid other people's affairs, especially their privacy, but if it's your business, I want to know."
"I will protect you well, and I will protect your secrets well. I won't let anyone bully you, and I won't let anyone bully you because of your secrets. But what I just said was also sincere. In this world, besides me, I don't believe anyone else will love you wholeheartedly, including the person you mentioned, who may show up at any time and who you truly love."
Li Mingxia lowered her head and looked at her wrist which was held tightly by Li Zhengde in the darkness.
Li Zhengde's hands were very slender, beautiful and strong, but he was probably worried about hurting Li Mingxia, so he only used his two fingers to wrap around her wrist, and the rest of his fingers were just loosely held together.
"Zhengde, do you believe that there is an underworld in this world?" Li Mingxia opened his mouth slowly and asked in a low voice.
Perhaps it was because the question was too vague, or perhaps it was because it was completely dark at this moment. The carriage was silent, with only the creaking sounds coming from outside the carriage and the occasional whistling of the wind, like a faint little hand scratching Li Zhengde's heart.
"Hell? Why do you suddenly ask this, sister?" Li Zhengde didn't quite understand what Li Mingxia meant, but when he suddenly heard the word "hell", he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and the atmosphere seemed to become tense.
Li Mingxia knew that people of this era cared about these things the most. When she mentioned the topic of the underworld, it was impossible for Li Zhengde not to take it seriously.
If Li Zhengde was afraid, it would be natural for me not to mention it. No matter how Li Zhengde speculated, as long as I didn't admit it and didn't talk about it, he would always have to think and guess by himself, there was no other way.
"Just say whether you believe it or not. If you can't answer my question, I don't know how to continue talking to you." Li Mingxia lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was looking at.
Li Zhengde thought about it and nodded slightly.
"Of course I believe it. Don't you, sister? Karma, retribution in the underworld, don't you believe in these things?" Li Zhengde said.
When they were staying at the old house of the Li family, their elder sister would often tell them to do more good deeds and that every kind person would have his or her own blessings. Li Mingxia often said this. As to why Li Zhengde believed this, it should be because he was influenced by Li Mingxia at the beginning.
"Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil. It is not that there is no retribution until the day comes. When the day comes, everything will be repaid."
Li Zhengde muttered softly, looking at Li Mingxia.
Li Mingxia also found this sentence in her memory. She nodded to indicate that she remembered it.
"So, sister, can you continue? I don't quite understand what you mean." There was a slight tremor in Li Zhengde's voice, and it was unclear whether it was out of nervousness or fear.
Li Mingxia looked at Li Zhengde and swallowed what he was going to say.
Originally, Li Mingxia wanted to say that his sister was actually dead and he was just a resurrection from the dead. However, seeing Li Zhengde's face becoming more and more ugly and his eyes staring at him without blinking, Li Mingxia felt guilty.
"If you listen to what I'm saying to you, can you keep it absolutely confidential? No matter who or what happens, you won't tell anyone?"
Li Zhengde's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his hand and swore, "Sister, I swear, I will not tell anyone anything you said to me today. No matter what happens, at any time, if I break this oath, I will die a miserable death, be poor and miserable, and have a miserable life. Can you believe me this time?"
