Taking advantage of the family's slumber, Xia Xiao entered the space and asked Shitou, "Gege, did the Xia Xiao from my last life die?"
Shitou said, "She's definitely gone. Haven't I told you? She had just died, and that's when you were reborn in her body. You don't need to dwell on this; it's not your fault. It's the arrangement of fate."
"Then, could that Xia Xiao become the me from before?" Xia Xiao asked again.
"How would I know that? I'm not fate. Fate is a mysterious thing; it's not human, nor is it a god, just a miraculous existence that you can't touch or fully grasp. It's intangible, yet seems to exist tangibly."
