All along, Wu Tong had never wanted her son to be a soldier. She was always worried about Li Qingcang. She was already so old, and she did not want to bear the pain of losing her son.

Li Qingcang had always been lucky enough to get out of danger during his missions.

WuTong firmly believed that this time, her son would also be fine.

Nothing would happen to him.

When Ye Tianxin heard the explosion, she had rushed out from the hostel in her bedroom slippers without taking anything with her.

When she returned to the hostel, the first thing she did was grab her phone from the table.

There were missed calls and messages from Jing Zhichen, Li Xingchen, and Xie Xuning on her phone.

She recognized all of the numbers, but none of them belonged to Li Qingcang.

Ye Tianxin looked forlornly at the beads on the table. She turned to ask Wu Tong, “Mom, before the explosion, I was wearing these beads until they suddenly broke. Do you think it was a sign that something bad happened to Qingcang?”

“That means that Qingcang is all right. The beads had protected him from harm.”

Wu Tong took the beads and placed them on her hands. She recognized them.

“Tianxin, did Grandpa give you these beads when Qingcang brought you to the mountains?”

Ye Tianxin was shocked. “Mom, how do you know?”

“Grandpa called and told me about it. He said he looked at both Qingcang and your zodiacs. Grandpa had warned QIngcang that something bad would happen if both of you insisted on being together. Qingcang did not seem to be bothered by this matter; he had always thought for himself since he was little. Once he has decided on something, nobody could change his mind. Of course, I don’t believe in this, either…”

Ye Tianxin’s lips quivered.

Her palms suddenly felt sweaty.

She felt like she had been stabbed by a knife.

A cold chill ran down her back.

“Mom, it’s not true right?”

How could it be?

Li Qingcang had never told her about what Grandpa Li said. He had never agreed to them being together.

“Tianxin, does it matter whether it is true or false? What’s important is that both of you have decided to be together. You should stick it out as a couple and face all challenges together.”

Wu Tong led a shaken Ye Tianxin to the couch and sat her down. She took a tissue to wipe away the tears from Ye Tianxin’s eyes.

“Tianxin, he was already a soldier by the time you two got together. It is inevitable for soldiers to get into dangerous situations, and Qingcang has always had to deal with danger. How can you get upset over something so trivial?”

Ye Tianxin could not stop her tears from streaming down her cheeks.

She never knew what Grandpa Li had told Li Qingcang.

Was it true that she and Li Qingcang’s fates would clash?

Perhaps she should get someone to examine their zodiacs and teach her how to avert the dangers.

“Mom, I’m so terrified. I don’t know what to think now. I seem to have lost all my senses.”

Ye Tianxin used her hand to wipe away the tears from her face.

Wu Tong consoled her. “Tianxin, I get why you feel this way, but you also have to think about the people who love you. What are we supposed to do if you keep acting like this?”

Tears continued to roll down Ye Tianxin’s cheeks. She was sobbing very hard.

She just could not control herself.

The thought that she could be the cause of Li Qingcang’s mishap saddened and scared her at the same time. She felt very helpless.

She could not help but blame herself for what had happened.
