Ten more years had passed since Huang Shu and Huang Qingsheng returned to the capital.

Huang Qingsheng was now twenty years old. He was handsome and strong, just like Huang Shu. He naturally inherited the title of Young General and became the new Duke Shu.

This happened because Huang Shu resigned from his position at the age of forty and returned to his old house in the garrison. He stayed with 2 servants who took care of his food and cleaned the small house daily.

Truthfully, Huang Shu still looked so vigorous and strong, even his son refused the resignation at first, but Huang Shu was firm with his decision. He packed up and gave everything he had for Huang Qingsheng while telling him to visit the garrison once or twice, to visit the cherry blossom tree.

It had been a year since Huang Shu stayed in the small house. He was enjoying the spring under the cherry blossom tree. He was sitting beside his wife's grave while eating some rice cake slowly.

"Wife, it's been a while since we enjoy spring together. We'll have rice cakes, candied fruits, and many more during spring. But now I'm the only one who can enjoy this."

[Well, Husband, don't eat too many rice cakes. You're old already. Your teeth aren't as strong they used to be.]

Yunyu sat beside Huang Shu and gently put his hand on top of Huang Shu's hand.

Huang Shu could feel the gentle coldness on top of his hand, which he assumed was Yunyu.

Huang Shu chuckled, "Now that I think about it, I shouldn't be eating too many rice cakes. You'll be scolding me if you're here with me."

Huang Shu looked up and saw the falling cherry blossom to his forehead, "Wife, do you remember that you like to sit and sleep here, under this tree?"

[Of course, I remember everything, Husband. I usually sleep in your lap while we're enjoying the spring together.]

"Wife, don't worry about Qingsheng, okay? He is twenty years old now, a very handsome and strong man, and the first Ger General in history. He is guided by Xu Jiansheng, and Meilan serves him as a head maid in our Duchy."

"I don't know who will marry him in the future, but I believe he will choose the best one. I'm just a bit worried that Xu Jiansheng would marry our son instead…."

[Ah… I don't think Jiansheng has that kind of feeling for Qingsheng, Husband. Just like Aaron Xu, Mamoru Ito, Zero Cheat, Lee Yongsun, they all love me and only me instead…]

"Anyway, I don't have any worry in this world anymore. I've raised our son to be a good man with various achievements at such young age, and I've fulfilled my own promise not to remarry."

"Wife… I've fulfilled my duty, and I'm tired…."

[Then sleep, Husband. I've been waiting for you. I missed embracing you as well…]

Huang Shu took the Rewind Stone out of his pocket and then put it beside Yunyu's grave, "I don't need this anymore, wife. This Rewind Stone is nothing but trouble. But I'm glad that I can finally have a good life with you, albeit the short one."

"For now, I just want to meet you in the afterlife."

[We will meet soon, just close your eyes…]

Huang Shu smiled. He leaned on the tree trunk and closed his eyes slowly.

Huang Shu passed away at forty one in peace under a cherry blossom tree where his wife's grave was located. The Rewind Stone suddenly shattered a second after Huang Shu's death.

[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 100%! The world has been completed. Congratulations, Host!]

[…]

Huang Shu's soul slowly separated itself from its body. He opened his eyes once more and saw his beloved Bai Yunyu was sitting beside him the whole time.

"W—Wife?"

"Husband, we've finally met again," Yunyu said with a smile.

Huang Shu grabbed Yunyu's arm and then hugged him tightly, "Wife! I really miss you! I really, truly, genuinely miss you! My Beloved Yunyu!"

"Husband, you've done a great job as a father," Yunyu said. "And such great job deserves to be rewarded, right?"

Yunyu took the initiative to kiss Huang Shu on the lips. Huang Shu put his palm behind Yunyu's head and then pushed the kiss deeper to fill the emptiness in his heart.

He had always wanted this kiss for decades, and he finally earned it from his beloved.

As their souls entangled into one, their cold breath turned hot once more. Huang Shu and Bai Yunyu faced each other, with their heads touching one another.

"Wife, I have so much to tell you. I want all your time! I demand the rewards for my hard work!" Huang Shu said he looked so cute, like a kid who had finally met his crush after so long.

Yunyu giggled and pecked Huang Shu's lips, "Of course, Husband. But we need to go to heaven first. Just close your eyes."

Huang Shu couldn't wait to spend time with his wife once more. He closed his eyes and said, "I love you, Wife. Let's go to heaven."

"I love you too… Husband."

Huang Shu and Bai Yunyu closed their eyes, and their souls slowly condensed and turned into pair of butterflies.

Just like that old tale, the butterfly lovers flew high up to the sky, continuing their love to the afterlife.

***

Huang Shu opened his eyes, he found himself trapped inside a sphere in a strange empty space with an infinite amount of numbers floating around.

"Where am I? Where is my wife?" Huang Shu looked around.

"Searching for your wife?"

Huang Shu looked up and saw a man floating down, then standing right in front of him. He wore a black-golden robe. His face was exquisitely handsome, so handsome that Huang Shu's first thought was… God.

This man must be a god.

"Excuse me, do you know where my wife is currently?" Huang Shu asked.

"… he is in the other side, in heaven," the man in black-golden robe said. "I'm just a God who can carry you to heaven to meet Yunyu again."

"Ah, magnanimous God, please allow me to meet my wife again. We've been through a lot. I really want to talk with him. I want to spend my eternity with him," Huang Shu begged earnestly.

The man in a black-golden robe stared at him for a second, and for a flash second, Huang Shu could see a deep sadness in his eyes.

"Then close your eyes, and give yourself to me. I will bring you to Yunyu."

"T—Thank you, benevolent God, may I know who your name is? I will tell my child to worship you in the mortal world."

"… Han Ye. My name is Han Ye."

"I see. Thank you for your kindness, magnanimous God Han Ye," Huang Shu said. He obediently closed his eyes, and Han Ye swallowed his bead without a problem.

But the problem came when all the memory of Huang Shu and Bai Yunyu flooded his brain.

"Urgh! Fuck this! Huang Shu is too soft to that bastard Yunyu!" Han Ye gritted his teeth. "None of them realized that Yunyu is manipulating them. Some realized it but decided to be blind instead!"

"And all that because of stupid love?! Fuck that love! HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU! HE DOESN'T LOVE US! HE DOESN'T LOVE ME!"

Han Ye vented all the anger he had in his heart. He was really too tired of swallowing all these beads. Because they were all wimpy shits, who didn't know how to defend themselves against Yunyu's fake love and manipulation.

He wanted to destroy that guy who dared to betray him! He wanted to make sure that Yunyu suffered a fate worse than death!

But everything seemed to go against his plan.

Han Ye grabbed the red chain in his heart that was stretched out so long, he couldn't even see the end.

This red chain was the deed of that bastard Xu Jiansheng, or Aaron, or whatever you wanted to call him.

"That piece of shit, I created him with half of my soul to cause havoc in each world, but all he did is falling in love with that bastard Yunyu! I am your creator, and I hate that manipulative bastard! Open your eyes, see that Yunyu is using you for his convenience!"

Han Ye was frustrated with everything, and the more he saw the red chain that linked his heart with Yunyu's heart, the more pissed off he got.

"ARRGHH, Bastard Yunyu!"
