She Destroyed His Face, I Helped Him Rise. But He Loved Only Her—Reborn, I Walked Away Cold.Added:
The year the Oscar-winning actor went bankrupt, the Beijing socialite princess ordered his face to be ruined. But after he rebuilt his empire using my resources, he kept her as his pampered mistress, ruthlessly chaining her to his side, vowing brutal revenge. He forbade her from straying beyond 3 m. They ate, drank, and slept together. To strip her freedom, he forced her to spend monthly 5 million checks down to the last penny.
Yet when Song Yao and I were kidnapped together, he saved her first, leaving me to plunge into the abyss where sharks tore me apart. So when I was reborn and saw Song Yao cornering Shen Qi with her gang again, I pretended not to see them and walked away without hesitation. This lifetime, I'll make sure to witness the truth. Without that pretty face of yours, Shen Qi, what exactly will you use to stage a comeback? One, award-winning actor Shen Qi single-handedly made his family's resurgence the talk of the entire internet.
The dual identity of a business prodigy and a fallen star catapulted him to A-list fame in his seventh year of obscurity. At this moment, facing the press corps, he remained composed and witty. His calm and distinguished demeanor radiating through his eyes and smile. A reporter asked him, "Shen, what's your biggest regret in life?"
Shen Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, their gleam revealing unfathomable emotions. "I lost a bouquet of my favorite jasmine flowers. I want to find her again."
The screen froze on Shen Qi's words.
This marks the seventh year Shen Qi and I have been together. I'd never seen him look so tender yet with regret. Pushing open the window, I gazed at the garden full of jasmine blossoms, my heart turning to ice. He knew perfectly well that roses were my favorite. Loving someone is like tending flowers. Song Yao was the blossom Shen Qi cherished most, the woman who nearly scarred him for life. To exact revenge, he kept Song Yao captive, forcing her to share his bed and table.
And all this, I only discovered it today. The entire garden of jasmine he planted with his own hands was all for Song Yao. "Sun Yan, what does it matter that you built his business empire? I'm the one he truly loves." Song Yao let out a coquettish laugh, her eyes brimming with charm. "Sun Yan, thank the heavens you saved him seven years ago.
He'd never have achieved this glory without you. This is ridiculous."
Forcing me to blow through 5 million daily like some spoiled brat. When the truth came out, it felt like a dagger plunging straight into my heart.
Bloodied and broken, the pain cut right to the bone. Memories of all my connections with Shen Qi flashed through my mind. Two, Shen Qi has long been the idol I deeply admire. In my past life, when I saw Song Yao trying to ruin his face, I immediately stepped in to save him.
I couldn't bear to see him lose everything, not even that strikingly handsome face. So for Shen Qi's sake, I willingly conceded profits to Song Yao.
Our companies happened to have a recent collaboration. Song Yao only released Shen Qi after securing her gains. After saving him, I initially saw him purely as an idol. Yet he treated me with boyfriend-level tenderness and care.
Shen Qi would pick me up from work when I stayed late at the office. When I was sick with fever, Shen Qi stayed by my side, taking care of everything with thoughtful attention. It wasn't until death that I finally understood all he'd ever done was to make me fall completely for him. This way, he could effortlessly leverage all my resources to stage his comeback. During media interviews, his eyes brimmed with tenderness and his smile was understated. Shen Qi vowed with absolute conviction, "I'll only marry Sun Yan in this lifetime. She's my one and only salvation."
I helped him wholeheartedly and never doubted him for a second. I waited with all my heart for Shen Qi to marry me after he made his mark in the world. But he said, "I can't marry you in good conscience until I've avenged this great wrong." So he had me work with him to bring down the Sun family's company by any means necessary. Shen Qi then kept Song Yao by his side, claiming it was for revenge. Yet his so-called revenge meant she couldn't stray beyond 3 m.
They ate, drank, and slept together. He vowed to strip her of freedom, yet handed her a monthly 5 million check she was forced to spend.
I was lost in his tenderness from those early years until the kidnapping laid bare the brutal truth. Three, Shen Qi stepped on many toes to secure his position. The day I found Song Yao, Shen Qi's enemies came for revenge. They actually kidnapped both me and Song Yao.
Shen Qi pursued them all the way to the island's edge. But he said between me and Song Yao, he could only save one.
The sea wind howled, bitingly cold, bound yet unfazed. Song Yao smiled with childlike innocence. Guess who he'll choose. Every night he'd hold me tight, begging me not to leave. He should have saved me instead. Pity you're not the jasmine that made him wait seven years.
For seven years, I helped Shen Qi rise from the ashes and reclaim his glory.
Between Song Yao and me, one's a savior, the other his nemesis. I was absolutely certain Shen Qi would choose to save me.
But the moment he cried out Song Yao, my heart shattered completely. So seven years of devotion still couldn't make me his first choice. Seven whole years couldn't melt a single heart. When pushed off the island, Song Yao used the momentum to slam into me, sending me plummeting into the abyss where I met my watery grave. I cast one last glance at Shen Qi. His pupils were dilated with horror, eyes bloodshot. He lunged toward me like a madman, desperate to grab me.
But Song Yao blocked him with vicious determination. "None of this matters anymore. The moment he gave up on me, my heart died." So Song Yao was always the pure white jasmine in his heart. How ridiculous. She's the jasmine blossom of his heart. But what am I? He seduced me, made me fall hopelessly in love, then exploited my devotion for his own gain.
How tragic that only in death did I see his petty, scheming nature. As consciousness slipped away, my soul drowned in bitter regret. If there's a next life, I'll never repeat the same mistakes again, even if Song Yao slashes Shen Qi's face to ribbons. It's none of my business. Four, when I opened my eyes again, news of top actor Shen Qi's family bankruptcy had spread throughout the entire school. He begged everyone for help, desperate to salvage even the slightest loss, even resorting to pleading with City A's most spoiled princess, Song Yao. The rumor was spreading like wildfire across campus.
OMG, Shen Qi just got dragged into the classroom by Song Yao. Even an untouchable god like the emperor of cinema can't escape the little princess's clutches. The scene before me felt so painfully familiar brought tears to my eyes. I'd actually been reborn, back to that fateful day seven years ago when I saved Shen Qi. Passing by the classroom, I hesitated and stopped. The door was left ajar. Song Yao intended to humiliate Shen Qi publicly.
Without the slightest restraint, she coiled the whip in her hand and lashed out with a sharp crack. "What does being a top-tier actor matter? You'll still grovel at my feet begging for mercy."
Shen Qi's striking features and chiseled jawline made him dazzlingly handsome.
Beats of sweat rolled down his forehead, tracing the contours of his face. He knelt there, his body drenched in blood, racked with pain. Shen Qi clenched his fists involuntarily, veins bulging across his knuckles.
"He doesn't deserve that face. Bring me hot water. I'll ruin his pretty features." The reason Song Yao despised Shen Qi's face at this moment was its uncanny resemblance to her first love's profile. Given Shen Qi's current condition, he wouldn't survive without intervention. That scalding cup of water Song Yao threw would mark the end of his acting career. Five, Shen Qi suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes locking onto me. His eyes were breathtakingly beautiful, cool, elegant, and aristocratic.
It was precisely those mesmerizing eyes that had enchanted me in the first place. Veins bulged on Shen Qi's forehead as he strained to push himself off the ground, a pained grunt escaping his lips. "Su Sun Yan." Standing among the jeering students, I flashed him a faint smile. He'd better stop deluding himself that I'd save him. At Song Yao's command, her lackey immediately scrambled to fetch hot water. Tiger Bot prevents document piracy.
Choose Tiger for book-finding bots, reliable and hassle-free. He clenched his fists, swallowing his emotions in silence. The water dispenser stands at the hallway corner. Beating the lackey to the punch before they could find a cup, I flipped on the dispenser's heating switch. What's the point of lukewarm water at 60 to 70 degrees?
Unless it's boiling at 100 degrees, how could it possibly match the agony of being torn apart by sharks in the ocean depths? Shen Qi, in this lifetime, I'll make you watch as the woman you love most destroys that handsome face you're so proud of with her own hands.
Six, when the scalding boiling water was handed to Song Yao, steam rose violently from the rim of the cup. Song Yao glared at Shen Qi with disgust and flung the boiling water at his face. "Don't blame me. Blame that face of yours." Shen Qi instinctively recoiled, dodging in the blink of an eye. Freeze, fuming.
Song Yao shot a glare. Her two lackeys instantly cut off Shen Qi's escape route. Now he's trapped. The remaining half glass of water traced a perfect arc through the air. Shen Qi reacted swiftly, raising his arm to block, but only managed to shield half his face.
The other half of his face and part of his neck instantly flushed red, erupting in large blisters. Shen Qi's hands trembled violently, veins bulging painfully on their backs as sweat dripped down in beads. The agony was unbearable.
Yet his dignity as an award-winning actor forbade him from crying out in public. As if unsatisfied, Song Yao delivered another vicious kick to Shen Qi's abdomen. "Who said you could dodge?
I'm here to ruin that entire pretty face of yours. The sight of it makes me sick." Shen Qi's body went limp, his face half flushed with fever. He no longer had the strength to resist or struggle, his lips trembling, eyes glistening with unshed tears.
Shen Qi fixed me with a gaze brimming with desperate helplessness, pity. I wouldn't show him an ounce of mercy.
That's exactly what he deserves. Sun Yao tilted her chin slightly, commanding her lackey, "Fetch another cup of water. If another cup of boiling water gets thrown, forget about his face being ruined. He'll be in too much pain to even walk out that door." Shen Chi was acutely aware of this fact. In desperation, he clumsily grabbed at Sun Yao's sleeve. "Spare me.
I can make you the hottest star." Seven.
Sun Yao frowned in disgust and shook off Shen Chi's hand. "What do you mean?"
Shen Chi's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke with that utmost sincerity. "I'm willing to share all my resources with you, make you a top-tier actress. In exchange, you'll preserve this face of mine." Hearing this, I froze in shock.
In his past life, when Shen Chi kept Sun Yao by his side, he'd once mentioned her greatest wish was to go viral across the internet.
But Sun Yao's old-fashioned father refused to let her appear in the media spotlight, unwilling to invest resources in her career. Shen Chi's words couldn't have been more perfectly timed. They hit exactly what she desired most. How does he know about Sun Yao's secret now?
Before I could think further, Sun Yao actually seemed tempted. "All right then. How exactly are you going to help me?" "My agent booked me for a dating adventure reality show.
Be my partner. I'll personally introduce you to the entertainment industry." Shen Chi is a top-tier superstar and an award-winning actor who rose to fame at a young age. As long as he's got looks and fans, he's never truly down and out.
As it happens, this dating show was actually produced by my family's entertainment company. With just a few words, Shen Chi managed to soothe Sun Yao. "Great. I'll be waiting." After Sun Yao left through the front door with her entourage, I, standing at the back door, turned to leave as well. But Shen Chi suddenly strode over and grabbed my wrist. "Sun Yan." Shen Chi's eyes were bloodshot, burning with intensity. "Yan Yan, how could you bear to watch my face get ruined?" He stared at me intensely, all his usual aloofness gone. "So, you're abandoning it?" Eight. His words made me sick to my stomach. I jerked my hand away instantly, locking eyes with him.
Could it be he's also been reborn? Shen Chi didn't notice my probing gaze.
Seemingly lost in memories of my past devotion to him, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Yan Yan, why didn't you save me just now?" I raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Why should I save you? It was Sun Yao who ruined your face. What's that got to do with me? And yet you come here to confront me. Are you out of your mind?" With that, I turned and walked away to conceal my rebirth, leaving a bewildered Shen Chi behind. During my career planning phase afterward, I kept hearing updates about Shen Chi and Sun Yao. They filmed a dating show episode together, but the reception was disappointing. Sun Yao's entitled princess attitude on the show sparked backlash from netizens. After finally reuniting with the jasmine he'd lost for 7 years, I can't wait to see how overjoyed Shen Chi must be now. So, I took the initiative to attend the variety show in person. Every episode of Love Adventure is broadcast live.
Though there are scheduled breaks and live interviews during recording, that day, while passing by Sun Yao's lounge to see what was happening, she was absolutely furious inside. "You want me to ask my father for help, to hand you business resources and connections to revive the Shen family? Shen Chi, who the hell do you think you are?" Through the window, I saw Shen Chi lower his head helplessly enduring Sun Yao's humiliating taunts. In his later years of the previous life, the accomplished Shen Chi domineeringly controlled Sun Yao.
But now, the tables have completely turned between them. "Do you have any idea that ever since I entered the entertainment industry, Dad froze all my cards? I've lost every penny of my allowance. Shen Chi, even Dad is mad at me. How am I supposed to help you?" Shen Chi's eyes burned with desperate hope as he pleaded earnestly, "Sun Yao, he's your father. Just put in a good word for me. Give me this chance, and I can make a comeback."
Sun Yao swung her arm and delivered a stinging slap across Shen Chi's face.
That slap packed a serious punch. The impact left half his face discolored, flushed with an angry crimson. But what puzzles me is, how could he appear completely unscarred on camera when half his face was supposedly burned before?
After venting her anger, the mercurial Sun Yao suddenly flashed him a grin.
"Fine then. Shen Chi, play nice during the livestream, and that contract you're after, I've got ways to make it yours."
With that, she turned on her heel and left. Sun Yao stormed off too fast to witness the spectacular scene that followed. Nine. The side of Shen Chi's face that Sun Yao had struck quickly became swollen, red, and festering. His humiliated eyes bloodshot, he kept grabbing tissues to wipe the blood from his face. But the more he wiped, the more the blood spread, and his skin deteriorated faster. Enraged, Shen Chi completely lost it in the break room, kicking chairs wildly.
As if he wanted to smash the whole place to pieces, the corner of my mouth twitched into a cold smirk. Nothing delights me more than watching Shen Chi's pathetic breakdown. This is his true nature. Without me, he's nothing.
Perhaps my gaze burned too intensely, for Shen Chi noticed. He turned warily, crimson eyes narrowing with suspicion.
"Who's there?" Our gazes locked in an instant. Shen Chi staggered out desperately, as if spotting his salvation. "Yan Yan, did you come here just to see me?"
I dodged the question, deliberately provoking him. "Your face looks so strange." Shen Chi froze, his head bowing slightly as he kept murmuring, "I'll fix it. I'll make it perfect again soon, just the way you like it." No wonder he maintains flawless skin on camera. Turns out he's been secretly getting cosmetic procedures all this time. But with disfigurement this severe, recovery would normally take years of gradual treatment. To bounce back to his original appearance overnight, he must be using some shady cutting-edge tech. Once Shen Chi gets a taste of success, he'll become addicted, spiraling into the abyss of cosmetic procedures. "You said you loved me. Yan Yan, I refuse to believe you're as shallow as those people who only care about my looks." Shen Chi stared at me stubbornly, his eyes bloodshot, voice hoarse with emotion. "Yan Yan, you're my only hope now. The loan sharks are practically hunting me down. You wouldn't want to see me driven into a corner, would you?" In Shen Chi's eyes, the 20-year-old me was just a starry-eyed girl blindly worshiping him. Too bad he was wrong. With a faint smile, I said mercilessly, "You're begging the wrong person, Shen Chi. With that face of yours, what makes you think you could please me? Forget Sun Yao. Even I find you repulsive." Shen Chi's eyes darkened, the hope in his gaze vanishing instantly. He stood frozen as if struck by lightning, trembling from head to toe.
I turned to leave when he suddenly called out to me. "Don't go, Sun Yan.
I'll become the person you love. You once said I was the only celebrity you ever followed in the entertainment industry." I smirked mockingly and turned back to look at him. "Are you even worthy?" Anyone would be worthy, except Shen Chi. After betraying my trust and throwing away 7 years of devotion, how dare he expect me to still love him? How revolting. 10. When filming resumed for season two, Sun Yao still refused to rein in her temper. Every dangerous challenge was forced upon Shen Chi alone, with him bearing all the punishments, while she simply played the pampered princess.
This sparked outrage among many netizens. In this duo game, Sun Yao resorted to dirty tricks just to beat the rival couple. She rammed her car into them, sending the young actress crashing down with a tailbone injury that required immediate medical attention. This finally sparked public outrage.
She injured someone without even apologizing, yet had the audacity to smile while accepting awards. Is this how Beijing's little princess behaves?
What's Shen Chi thinking, bringing someone like that into the circle, acting like a bootlicker catering to that spoiled every damn day? Is Shen Chi even a man? Can't even muster a word in front of Sun Yao. God, I can't stand watching those two. As a result, Sun Yao's reputation took a serious hit before she even officially entered the scene.
During the intermission, she lashed out furiously at the netizens' criticism.
"Who told her to be so fragile? It's just a tailbone fracture, not like she's dying. What's the big deal? Backslash Shen Chi, don't you agree? Backslash."
Shen Chi stood silently to the side and gave a wordless nod. Sun Yao smiled in satisfaction before turning to direct the crew. "Since she's gone to the hospital, just hand all the footage over to me. I want every shot with perfect lighting. I'm going to make everyone adore me."
Her words left the entire room in stunned silence. When the director remained silent, Sun Yao shot him a contemptuous glare. "Anyone who dares oppose me can forget about working in this industry ever again." "Miss Song, this isn't something I can decide. You'd better talk to Sun Yan about it." Sun Yao turned her head, her gaze settling on me. She issued a direct command. "Add highlights for me." Eleven. I don't agree with Sun Yao's statement at all.
This is live broadcast.
If we give you all the screen time, sharp-eyed netizens will see right through it. Hearing this, Sun Yao let out a cold snort and said impatiently, "So what? We'll just hire some internet trolls when the time comes. If you dare refuse, I'll make sure my father cuts all business ties with your family. From now on, don't you dare come crawling to my family for favors. My father's word is law in Beijing's elite circles.
Neither you nor your pathetic father can afford to cross him. Humph."
Little does Sun Yao know her days as Beijing's golden girl are numbered. Ever since my rebirth, I've been racking my brains using memories from my past life to devise countless strategies. The first step, helping my father forge alliances to take down the Sun family. I was initially against adding highlight scenes, but since Song Yao insisted, skipping her spotlight moments would make me the worst kind of ingrate. Got it. Let me highlight that for you. Song Yao flashed a satisfied smile.
I chuckled and said, "On one condition, you follow my lead. There's a waterside romantic duo scene." Yun, eager to flaunt her figure on camera, Song Yao nodded without hesitation. Yet, the normally reticent Shin Chi seemed suddenly provoked. He jerked his head up, voice trembling with emotion.
"I object." I deliberately sighed.
"Well, that settles it then." Song Yao wouldn't let Shin Chi ruin the opportunity she'd fought so hard to secure. "Shin Chi, who gave you the right to object?" Sun Yan, "We'll proceed as you suggested. Shin Chi has no say in this." With a satisfied smile, I told the director to start filming immediately. The romantic aquatic photo shoot for two was mainly shot by the heated pool at a private spa club. Song Yao slipped into a sexy swimsuit.
Flaunting her youthful figure before the camera, with a graceful dive, she plunged straight into the pool. Shin Chi, however, remained stubbornly planted at the pool's edge, refusing to get in. His face turned deathly pale, fists clenched tight. After swimming a lap, Song Yao noticed Shin Chi still hadn't entered the water. She immediately furrowed her brows and demanded, "Shin Chi, why aren't you in the water?" He wiped the sweat from his brow with his fingertips and made an excuse.
"I've caught a cold and don't feel well.
Maybe I'll skip swimming today." Song Yao nodded with slight disappointment.
"All right, then." Before Shin Chi could catch his breath, Song Yao yanked him straight into the water. Caught completely off guard, Shin Chi landed with a loud splash. His tall frame crashed into the water, sending waves splashing everywhere. This sent Song Yao into fits of laughter. "Ha ha ha, Shin Chi, don't tell me you're afraid of water." Standing before the camera, I couldn't help curling the corners of my lips. The show begins. 12. Shin Chi hasn't lifted his head since entering the water. He held his breath underwater, his entire body gradually sinking. Song Yao frowned, her face full of confusion. "Shin Chi, what kind of game are you playing?" Paying no heed to Shin Chi's condition, she kept swimming.
So, he held his breath underwater for another minute. Shin Chi kept his head buried in the water like an ostrich, arms wrapped around himself.
Song Yao was growing impatient. "Shin Chi, what exactly are you trying to pull?" Even with cameras rolling, Song Yao still held back a bit. Yet, viewers in the livestream started getting suspicious. "Shin Chi knows how to swim.
Why is he holding his breath underwater this whole time? Shin Chi's been holding his breath for 3 minutes now. He's about to reach his limit. Is the production team just going to ignore this? If Song Yao hadn't dragged him into the water, this wouldn't have happened, right?"
Shin Chi was clearly struggling, bubbles gurgling to the surface as he flailed in the water. Even the director panicked, fearing this might turn fatal. I immediately grabbed the director's arm and warned him, "Hold on." Zoom in the shot. For minutes had passed, I knew Shin Chi had reached his limit. Only then did Song Yao realize things had spiraled out of control. She desperately tried to drag Shin Chi out of the water.
Holding his breath for too long left Shin Chi completely drained.
Without even the strength to struggle, as Song Yao hauled him out of the water, his face surfaced moments later. The director stood dumbfounded while I swiftly zoomed in, capturing an extreme close-up of him. The livestream exploded. The entire internet is in shock. #shinchis pallid, festering skin, and crimson burns were fully exposed on camera without any foundation to conceal them. Traces of cosmetic repairs still lingered on his face.
But, this face had been ruined by the rushed high-tech restoration. "Ah!" Song Yao let out a piercing scream, her face twisted in shock as she shoved Shin Chi away violently. Song Yao scrambled ashore, her fingers trembling uncontrollably. "You freak! I'd never partner with someone like you." Shin Chi's back slammed against the cold wall as Song Yao's piercing scream jolted him into instant awareness. Realizing the camera was shoved right in his face, his momentary clarity dissolved into sheer panic.
He frantically covered his face with trembling hands. "Stop filming. Who authorized this?" The transformation of Shin Chi's face was witnessed by the entire internet. His once prided handsome face was utterly ruined by his own doing, then exposed by his beloved Jasmine herself. News of Shin Chi's disfigured appearance skyrocketed to trending topics. Overnight, A-list actor Shin Chi was toppled from his godlike pedestal. 13. The entire internet is buzzing about Shin Chi. #shinchis disfigured # #shinchi career over # Netizens are divided in their opinions about Shin Chi's situation. Now, it's Shin Chi who should feel insecure. Huh, no wonder he's fawning over Song Yao like that.
Trying to become Beijing's golden boy through marriage. How hideous. Shin Chi's face clearly shows artificial enhancements. What's there to be insecure about when you already had a perfectly handsome face? Song Yao ran for the hills ages ago. As if a Beijing socialite would ever date an ugly guy.
Keep dreaming.
Netizens got it right. Song Yao has already refused to be paired with Shin Chi as an on-screen couple. Overnight, Shin Chi's career took a nosedive. All his contracted brands issued termination notices. Even his upcoming dramas replaced him as the lead actor. Shin Chi's current appearance makes public appearances problematic. The dual blow to his career and mental health left Shin Chi completely devastated. I saw him again a week later. The heavy snow fell all night long.
The moment I pushed open the door, I saw Shin Chi. Shin Chi had been standing in the snow all night. The noble bearing of his past life has long faded. Stripped of that aloof elegance, he's now indistinguishable from any common man.
"Nian Nian, snowflakes clung to his lashes as white frost crowned his head.
Nian Nian, I've lost my home and have no one to rely on, all because of Song Yao's doing." With tears glistening in his eyes, Shin Chi pleaded urgently. "I know you have a kind heart.
For the sake of the affection you once held for me, could you take me in?" As he spoke, scalding tears rolled down his cheeks, and he hung his head in utter dejection. "The truth is, I've always cared for you deeply. I just realized my feelings too late. I thought heaven had taken pity on me, granting me this second chance. Who knew you'd avoid me like the plague? Nian Nian, take me in.
You're all I have left." I curled my lips, watching his crocodile tears in silence.
He played the devoted lover so convincingly, he almost believed it himself. What a waste of acting talent.
I was utterly disgusted. "Uncle Li, throw him out. Don't let such trash in again. I won't have him freezing to death at my doorstep and bringing bad luck." Shin Chi panicked instantly. In desperation, he dropped to his knees before me. "Nian Nian, if you won't believe me, I'll stay kneeling here until you do." 14.
He thinks putting on this love-lorn act and playing the desperate husband will win my sympathy. Let him kneel there if he wants. I'd love to see how long he can last. Shin Chi knelt motionless at my doorstep as the blizzard raged outside, the bitter cold piercing to the bone. Frozen into a statue-like stillness, he eventually trudged away in silence.
I never saw Shin Chi again after that day. Every time I walked to school, I could feel phantom footsteps shadowing me. Every time I turned around, there was never anyone behind me. That day, I glanced at the calendar and suddenly remembered something. I stepped into a quiet spot and immediately called my father. "Dad, stay safe overseas and make sure to get regular check-ups." In his past life, my father worked relentlessly, often neglecting meals and rest, which eventually led to him developing stomach cancer. The memory of my emaciated father lying on that hospital bed still brings a dull ache to my heart. "Dad, don't brush off what I'm saying. Get regular check-ups and eat properly. You hear me?" Before I could finish, someone snatched my phone and abruptly ended the call. My head jerked up, locking eyes with Shin Chi's furious gaze barely contained beneath the surface. "Sun Yan, you've been lying to me all along."
Shin Chi's expression darkened abruptly, his lips pressed thin as his voice turned hoarse. "Did you also get reborn?" His bloodshot eyes remained fixed on me, glinting with an unsettling obsession. "No wonder I've been feeling like someone's been shadowing me lately." Shin Chi, "So, what if I've been reborn? In our past life, you chose Song Yao. And now that she's no use to you, you come crawling back to me." I gave him a once-over and smirked coldly.
"Who do you think you're fooling?
You might not find it disgusting, but it's making me sick." Shin Chi pleaded urgently. "Nian Nian, I know you blame me, but you're seeing me as some villain. I genuinely want to make it up to you. Every word is true." I stared at him with icy contempt. "You think I'd believe that? After surviving life and death, 7 years of wholehearted devotion, I no longer harbor any feelings for Shin Chi. Not even hatred is worth wasting on him." Shin Chi's gaunt figure swayed slightly.
His pupils trembling as he murmured, "I'll make you believe me. I know you've always blamed me for not choosing to save you back then. I thought they wouldn't dare push you over. That's why I chose Song Yao instead." To him, my life truly didn't matter. After all, he was willing to stake his bets on me without a second thought for the risks.
Besides, it was Song Yao who violently shoved me down in the first place.
I couldn't be bothered to waste more words on Shin Chi and simply walked out of school. From that day onward, Shin Chi seemed to have an epiphany and stopped pestering me. My daily commute to school and participation in various competitions kept me thoroughly engaged.
That day when I left school, my driver got stuck in traffic and hadn't arrived yet. I had just hung up the phone. A large hand suddenly covered my mouth and nose from behind. A suffocating sensation hit me.
And I instinctively reached for the dagger hidden at my waist. Then, a familiar voice rang out, "Be gentle.
Just knock her out." It's Shinji. I slowly sheathed the dagger and feigned unconsciousness, collapsing to the ground in sync with him. Shinji, "Since you find life too bitter, then let me personally send you off." 15, after being tied up, I was shoved into a car and taken all the way to the island's edge. This familiar scene, it's where I died last time.
But they didn't just kidnap me. Sonya's here, too. When Sonya came to, panic washed over her face. Bound at the wrists and ankles, the duct tape over her mouth had been torn away. "Who the hell are you? Name your price. My father will pay whatever you demand. Just don't hurt me." Feigning regained consciousness, my gaze locked onto Shinji rushing to the rescue with frantic urgency. What a meticulously staged performance. The kidnapper forced Shinji to choose between me and Sonya.
"You can only save one of them." Sonya's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this. Seeing Shinji, it was as if she'd spotted her savior. Shinji, "Help me, quick." Her eyes were wide with panic as she spoke in a trembling voice. Shinji, "If you save me now, I swear I'll get my father to give you the resources to make your comeback." Shinji took two steps forward, ignoring Sonya's desperate screams. His gaze fixed solely on me. "Nian Nian, let me save you this time, okay?"
I curled my lips into a mocking smile.
Truly worthy of a top-tier actor, his performance was flawless. Shinji's eyes brimmed with tenderness. His voice laced with faint regret. "Sun Yan, after your death, I realized my mistake. I never should have chosen Sonya. Ever since you died, my soul left with you. I've been living a living hell each day. Now that fate's giving me a second chance, I won't lose you again." I deliberately provoked him, countering, "Isn't Sonya your true love?
The one you called the only pure jasmine in your heart?" 16, Shinji's eyes turned murderous in an instant, burning with unmistakable hatred. "No. How could I ever fall for the woman who disfigured me? If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have ended up like this. She dragged me down, promising resources, yet I groveled at her feet like a dog, and she never once looked at me with respect."
Shinji's gaze at Sonya burned with murderous intensity. With a wry smile, I reminded him helplessly, "How can you prove what you're saying is true? Why should I believe you? Empty words mean nothing, don't you think? A dog-eat-dog world is the most entertaining spectacle. I'll turn Shinji into a blade consumed by hatred, one that'll pierce the heart of the woman he loves most." Hearing this, Sonya was the first to sense something amiss. Her face filled with terror as she suddenly turned her frightened gaze toward me.
"Sun Yan, we've never had any grudge between us.
Why are you deliberately sowing discord?
Never had any grudge." Shinji was right about one thing. In my past life, with my family's power and influence, those kidnappers wouldn't have dared throw me overboard. At the critical moment, it was Sonya, freshly untied, who shoved me straight into the abyss. If this doesn't count as a blood feud, then what does?
Lowering my lashes to veil the hatred in my eyes, I smiled faintly. "Sonya, I didn't say anything."
It's Shinji who needs to make the choice, not me. Shinji advanced step by step toward Sonya. Each step he took filled Sonya with dread. Her face turned deathly pale, her voice growing increasingly shrill. "Shinji, if you actually believe her, you're falling right into her trap. I'll give you all the resources you need. I'll help restore your face. I apologize for everything I've done." Shinji's expression remained unchanged, his bloodshot eyes burning with pure hatred.
"You did this to me. Once I deal with you, Nian Nian will forgive me. We can go back to how things were." "Stop pretending. None of this was ever about me. Shinji." Their roles were reversed in this life. Consumed by hatred for Sonya, he used my name both to soothe his conscience and beg for my forgiveness. Driven to desperation by Sonya, shrieking, Shinji snapped. He grabbed a dagger and pointed it straight at her.
Sonya's eyes widened in terror. At the critical moment of life and death, she recklessly charged into Shinji. Caught completely off guard, he dropped the dagger with a metallic clang. Seizing the opportunity, Sonya snatched the dagger, cut the ropes, and pointed it at Shinji. "Shinji, have you lost your mind?" Shinji let out a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with desolation. "I've gone mad, and it's all your fault." With that, Shinji moved to shove Sonya into the sea. After all, the depths would swallow all evidence.
But Sonya was ruthless, too. As she was pushed over, she thrust the dagger at Shinji with all her might. "Shinji, I swear I'll make you pay for this." 17, scorching crimson blood streamed down the back of Shinji's hand. Shinji doubled over in pain, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. "Dead men tell no tales." Sonya's body plummeted from the island. In my past life, Shinji abandoned me knowing full well I couldn't swim. But this time, the Sonya thrown overboard knew how to swim. She was swimming desperately in the sea. Well, good luck to her then. I thought today's spectacular drama would end right there. To my surprise, Shinji walked straight toward me. He reached out to grab my hand, but I dodged it effortlessly. "Shinji, you don't actually think I'd forgive you just like that, do you?" I let out a cold chuckle, my gaze piercing through him. "I'll never forgive someone like you. You killed Sonya.
You killed my past self. Your hands are drenched in blood. Your very blood is filthy. You're absolutely disgusting, you know that." Shinji's expression darkened instantly, his eyes flashing with intense fury. "So you've been lying to me all along. Is that it?" I responded with silent laughter, which served as my tacit admission. What a pity he came to his senses too late.
Shinji let out a near-maniacal laugh.
Gritting through the pain in his abdomen, "I told you, dead men tell no tales."
His obstinate gaze fixed on me, the smile twisting into something sinister and unhinged. "Sun Yan, let's die together and all this, shall we? Maybe we'll get another chance at rebirth."
With that, he lunged at me with all his strength. He was trying to drag me down into the abyss with him. What a damn nightmare. 18, I'd already untied the hemp rope. Pulling out the stun gun I'd kept ready at my waist. Cranking it to maximum voltage, I swung it at him with all my strength.
Seven brutal strikes, one for each wasted year of my past life. Shinji's furious expression instantly crumbled into trembling weakness. He writhed in agony on the ground, crimson eyes burning into me. "Shinji, did you really think I'd be as defenseless as in our past life? I'd been untied since the moment you started this charade. Sun Yan, thank the heavens you saved him 7 years ago. He'd never have achieved this glory without you." Shinji, during my disappearance, my family's driver has already called the police. Shinji personally pushed someone into the sea, witnessed by the kidnappers and seen by me. There's no way he can escape. Shinji helplessly cupped his face in his hands, tears streaming through his fingers. "Sun Yan, I thought you'd forgive me." "Save your arrogance for the police." By the time the police arrived, Shinji was too exhausted to resist. Even as the officers dragged him away, his gaze remained fixed on me. "Sun Yan, how could you be so cruel to me? You're truly heartless." Humph. Let him pour out all his bitterness to the police.
After Sonya fell into the deep sea, the police launched an extensive search and rescue operation. She was found on the shore during the search and rescue operation. She knows how to swim, most likely made it to shore on her own.
However, she suffered severe head trauma and is still in critical condition. I've secured postgraduate admission without exams.
And my father wants me to take over the family business first. Using the business tactics I mastered in those 7 years of my past life, I systematically dismantled Sonya's family enterprise. I won't lay a finger on her myself, but I'll make sure she starves to death. I want to watch Sonya become an ordinary person, her arrogant demeanor worn down by life's hardships. Pity she'll never open her eyes to see her world again.
Sonya suffered severe head trauma.
And the delayed rescue efforts resulted in missed critical treatment time. She's now in a vegetative state. Shinji was convicted of premeditated murder and sentenced to prison, where he'll spend the rest of his days in perpetual darkness. As for me, I've gained not just a new life, but fresh perspectives and understanding. In this life, I just want to live well and ensure the safety and happiness of those I love. Shinji's mistake doesn't represent everyone. He got the punishment he deserved.
And I'll keep moving forward toward a bright future. The end. Story two. The foster husband was very cold, and he never said I love you to me in 10 years of marriage. Before I died, I found the letter he had prepared for a long time, but the name on it wasn't mine. It turned out he was just cold towards me.
The first thing I did after reincarnating was to cancel the engagement and encourage him to deliver the letter. He turned red with anger and for the first time yelled at me. "Li Wan, who asked you to meddle?" One, an hour before the elevator accident, I was cleaning the attic and found a yellowed love letter. The familiar handwriting, the familiar signature. The name at the beginning, however, wasn't mine. This was a love letter that Lin He wrote to another girl. The moment the elevator fell, I was still thinking. I hadn't yet found out who the girl he liked was, what she looked like, or whether she was much better than me. Two, when I woke up again, the sun outside was very bright.
My head was dizzy, and my best friend Shen Pan was holding my hand and sighing. "You finally woke up. You scared me to death. It's lucky that someone nearby reacted quickly and carried you to the infirmary." The girl in front of me, wearing a high school uniform and with a face full of collagen, made me momentarily unable to react. Shen Pan from 17 years ago. The warm feeling on my hand told me that this was not a dream. I really have been reborn. A figure ran in from the door.
Flashing through the light and appearing in front of me. Are you okay? Lin He looked at me calmly, holding bread and milk. A familiar memory was suddenly recalled. Yes, that day I overslept and didn't have breakfast. And I fainted during the break time due to low blood sugar. Lin He handed me the food and watched me eat it. That morning, Lin He's class had a physics quiz, but he skipped class for me and later got scolded by the head teacher. At 17, I was still caught up in the pink bubble of his concern for me. But now, at 32, I clearly knew that Lin He was just following his father's promise to take good care of me. Lin He's father and my father were comrades in arms. Later, Lin He's father sacrificed his life.
And his mother took the compensation money and ran away. My father took Lin He in to raise him because he felt sorry for him. Because he was living under someone else's roof, he always obeyed my father's words and never dared to defy him. From that day on, Lin He became my little shadow. Everyone behind our back secretly teased us, saying that I had a obedient child bride. Later, my father found out about my little thoughts and teased Lin He to be our son-in-law. But he didn't say a word.
At that time, I thought he was introverted and shy. But now I think I was really foolish. Three, during class, I was distracted, constantly replaying my past life. I don't want to trouble Lin He anymore. Maybe if I don't marry him, he will be happier and I won't die afterwards. After class, the teacher made us stay 10 minutes longer. And after class, the students rushed out in a flock. I was packing my things when I saw Lin He had been waiting for me at the door for a long time.
Looking down at the set of wrong questions in his hands, the light illuminated him, making him look even more lonely and cold. We walked out of the teaching building in silence. Lin He has always been like this, cold and indifferent, as if he doesn't care about anything. I looked at his back and suddenly stopped in my tracks. Lin He, you can go back first. You don't need to walk with me anymore. You don't need to wait for me in the future. Why? There's no reason. You are free, Lin He.
I walked towards the back street of the school, intending to buy a few workbooks to improve my poor math skills. The person behind me caught up with me and coldly asked, "What's wrong with you again? Is it because I was late in the morning? Or did you not like the milk I bought? There was only that flavor left in the supermarket." The moonlight shone on him, cold and lonely. His gaze seemed to say, "What's your little game this time?" I tried to explain, "It's really not like that.
The college entrance exam is coming up and everyone's time is precious. You don't need to waste it on me. I need to work hard as well." Lin He stood in place, probably for the first time hearing me say such words. I used to really like clinging to Lin He. I didn't get into Beijing University, but he did.
However, he finally chose to stay in our city with me because of a word from my father. I used to naively think he liked me, just that he didn't say it out loud.
He must be regretful, after all.
That was his ideal university. Four, Lin He didn't come after me anymore. I went into the bookstore and picked out a few practice books that suited me and also took a composition book. When I went to pay, I realized that the money in my pocket was gone. I was puzzled and walked through the bookstore again, but couldn't find it. I didn't know whether it was stolen or just accidentally dropped. I sighed and was about to come back tomorrow to buy it. When I turned around and bumped into someone.
"Oh my god!" The person exclaimed and his comic book fell. He hurriedly tried to protect the grilled skewers in his bowl. "I'm sorry. Why is it you again?"
A familiar lazy tone. I looked closely and it was Song Su, a close friend from university. How come I met him now? It's quite a coincidence. Classmate, I took you to the infirmary this morning when you fainted. Are you okay now?" Uh, "Oh, I'm fine. Thank you." It didn't occur to me until later that I had such a coincidence with him.
I don't know what kind of past life I had. Song Su picked up the comic book.
Seeing me hesitating in place, he took the book I was holding and paid for it together. "I saw you walking around the store just now, like you were looking for something. Did you lose your money?"
I quickly nodded. This guy really is the one who will study criminal investigation in the future. He noticed so carefully. I said I would return the money to him tomorrow and Song Su waved his hand.
"Just treat me to dinner tomorrow." We walked out of the back street and the night street had fewer people, only a few students passing by. Song Su looked at the delinquent youths huddled together smoking ahead and turned to say he would send me home. He went to the garage to get a black motorcycle. The motorcycle followed him, showing off its power and coolness. Five, he dropped me off at the foot of my building and the roar of the motorcycle finally disappeared.
I was afraid of being scolded from the building above, so I hurriedly told Song Su to leave quietly. Song Su laughed, "You can't be quiet. My dear is so amazing." It sounded weird. Was about to say goodbye to him, but he suddenly raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice. "Did you know that person? He seems to have been looking at you." I turned around and saw Lin He slowly walking from the entrance of the residential area. Strange. He was supposed to go back first. Why is he slower than me?
"Yes, I know him." Song Su felt relieved, waved his hand and left with a casual roar. Lin He went up the stairs with me and there was an inexplicable sense of pressure in the silence. The elevator door closed and he suddenly spoke. "Is this the direction you're striving for?" "No, it's just a coincidence. That's really convenient."
His tone was calm, as if he didn't care much. I didn't continue explaining. When he got home, Lin He would finish his homework and then take a shower.
While he was walking into the bathroom, I quietly sneaked into his room and found the love letter. He always hides things in the same place, under the pile of books. It was easy to find. I opened the letter, but I couldn't figure out who Li classmate was. Could he be a classmate in his class? Considering his cold and indifferent attitude, he probably wouldn't be able to get close to anyone. Maybe I should help him a little. Six, the next day, I went to school with dark circles under my eyes.
After checking all night, there were no girls with the surname Li in Lin He's class except two boys with the surname Li. Math class was once again confusing.
Even if I were reborn, I would still not be able to solve the problems I couldn't solve before. It seems that the gap between me and Lin He is destined to be irreparable. At noon, I was about to invite Song Su to lunch, but Lin He was waiting at the door again, holding my favorite dessert. "I told you not to wait for me anymore, right?
You should do what you need to do." Uh, "Thank you. No need to buy for me anymore." Lin He looked puzzled and sighed slightly. "Li Wan, what did I do to offend you? You've been avoiding me lately." "It's not your problem. It's my problem. I just figured some things out." I walked towards the cafeteria, then remembered something and turned back to say seriously, "By the way, my father was just joking when he said for you to be his son-in-law. You don't have to take it seriously.
And you don't need to listen to him too much, Lin He. Good luck with your college entrance exam. Go to your ideal university." Lin He frowned, as if confused about why I said these things.
I arrived at the cafeteria and Song Su was already waiting for me at a seat.
"What's this?" Song Su glanced at the bag in my hand. "Eclairs. Here, have one. Thanks for helping me yesterday."
"Hey, no need to be polite." Song Su waved his hand, but then smelled the fragrance of the dessert and couldn't resist eating one. One makes two. He ate a few and there were some crumbs on his mouth. I was about to remind him when a cold voice suddenly came out. "No wonder you wanted to get rid of me.
Are you two dating?" Song Su was startled and almost choked. I turned back and met Lin He's cold gaze, feeling as if I had been caught in an affair.
"No, no. I'm not his wife anymore." Song Su noticed the awkwardness between us and excused himself to get the food.
"No, I just met him. We're just classmates." I was telling the truth, but Lin He impatiently interrupted me.
"Don't explain to me. On Friday after school, Chen Pan wanted to try the new product at the dessert shop across from the school and pulled me to go with her." He said it coldly, turned around indifferently and seemed a little angry. Song Su came back and asked me quietly who that person was. Looking at his gossipy eyes, I thought he thought I and Lin He were a couple. I briefly explained our situation and Song Su smiled knowingly.
"Oh, childhood sweethearts. He seems to care about you a lot." "Not at all. Lin He couldn't wait to get rid of me. On Friday after school, Chen Pan was going to try the new products at the dessert shop across from the school and pulled me along. This dessert shop has been open for a long time and it has always been very busy.
Lin He bought me the egg tart here. Chen Pan ordered two mango mousse. While waiting, I heard the staff say that there was a shortage of lemons and they were discussing it with the owner, Mr. Li. I caught a glimpse of a girl in a school uniform walking towards the back area of the shop.
Is she the daughter of Mr. Li? She's surnamed Li. Her name is Li Qian. I have seen her on the list of the English composition competition before. Her grades are very good and she has always been in the top 50. Yes, she has participated in many competitions and she is very academic. She has some connection with Lin He. No wonder Lin He often buys me desserts because every time I come here, I can see him looking at the person he wants to see. After each purchase, he always looks very happy.
I thought he was because of me. A swollen, bitter feeling arose in my heart, which I forced down. To confirm that the love letter was from Li Qian, I approached her when she came out.
"Hello, Lee. I'm a friend of Lin He's.
He forgot something. Ah, did he? Lee Qian didn't have such a high level of vigilance. She checked her backpack and said in confusion, he only explained two problems to me, then lent me his math notebook. He probably didn't leave anything behind. They definitely knew each other.
I looked at the familiar orange-covered notebook. This was one I had bought for Lin He. I used to ask him math questions, but he wasn't very patient. I was too embarrassed to say I didn't understand, so I stopped asking later.
Maybe I got it wrong. I'll tell him later. I left with Chen Pan, who excitedly handed me a mango mousse, but I had no appetite. When I was feeling down, everything tasted bitter. Why aren't you eating? Isn't it delicious?
Chen Pan pushed me. Hey, what did you say to Lee Qian just now?
Nothing. How do you know her name is Lee Qian? Chen Pan looked around and lowered her voice. Because my friend said she was the adopted daughter of Li Lao Ban, and then I remembered her. Oh, eight.
Now I know who the author of the love letter is, and I feel much lighter in my heart. I wonder what kind of expectations and feelings Lin He had when he wrote this love letter. I envy Lee Qian.
I'm recalling when I confessed my feelings to Lin He in my second year of high school. What did he say back then?
Oh, he said understood. The tone was cold and distant, as if it were a bother. In the evening, I finished organizing the wrong questions and planned to review some English words.
The phone lighted up, and Song Su sent me several documents. Song Su, this is my mother's math test paper. You can do it, too. Ask me if you don't understand.
His mother is a training teacher for the Olympiad math class, so I also got some extra tutoring. I thanked him and sent a meme. Suddenly, the door of the room opened. Lin He entered with a gloomy expression. This was the first time he had entered without knocking. Did you touch something in my room? He didn't say what it was, but I knew. My heart felt uneasy, and I took the letter out from the drawer. Sorry, I didn't mean to peek. I had intended to play matchmaker for them, but I didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly. Lin He took back the letter.
Probably because his secret was exposed, his face was very bad. I felt a sourness in my heart, but still gathered my courage and said, I know who you wrote about in the letter. It's that girl from the dessert shop, right? Since you like her, you should confess to her sooner.
She's so excellent. What if someone else gets her first? Anyway, the college entrance examination is coming soon.
After it's over, you can pursue her properly. Then you can buy desserts for her openly without having to use the excuse of buying for me. Who asked you to meddle in my business? He stared at me with a deep gaze, full of anger. I just want you to be a bit happier. Happier? He snorted. I guess you're eager to get rid of me now that you've started dating someone else.
You said you liked me before, but you've changed pretty quickly. I was stunned, not expecting him to think that way. You don't like me.
So, do you expect me to hang on to one tree forever? I retorted angrily. Yes, you'd better not hang on to me. I find it unlucky, he said coldly, then turned around and left, slamming the door. I bit my lower lip, trying hard not to let tears fall. Damn Lin He, I will never like you again in my life. Nine. For the next week, I didn't say a word to Lin He. My father thought we were both studying hard, so he didn't say anything. I'm free this weekend. I'm going to the library with Song Su to do problems.
His grades are better than mine, and his thinking is more flexible. He often explains problems to me. When I feel stressed, he will take me for a drive on his black motorcycle. Just thinking about us being good friends for a long time makes me have some expectations for the future. Maybe I've worked twice as hard this time, and my grades improved by more than 10 places in the monthly exam. My father was so happy after getting a call from the homeroom teacher. Lin He, who was making coffee, heard it and glanced at me, muttering with a low laugh, wow, dating didn't affect your studies. You, too. You were infatuated with someone, but it didn't stop you from getting first place in the exam. I intentionally provoked him back, turned around, and went back to my room to study, not looking at his dark expression.
College entrance exam countdown, 1 month. That was the time when I was the most indifferent. My mind only focused on studying and scores, with no time to think about love. June comes with the hot weather, along with the college entrance exam. This time I was well prepared, and I wrote with confidence.
Even the last math problem, which I used to give up on, I could at least answer something this time. Although I didn't know if the answer was correct. 10. The final bell rang, ending the exam.
It also marks the end of my high school life once again. I walked out of the exam room and saw Lee Qian and Lin He standing together. She seemed to have not done well on some questions and was impatiently checking answers with him.
Maybe it's because love makes one see beauty in the beloved. Lin He is always more patient with her than with others.
I passed by them and ran towards Chen Pan and Song Su. We had agreed to go to the amusement park, KTV, and Happy Valley, and have a great time.
During the time before the results came out, I was constantly out having fun, and my father didn't even bother to manage me anymore. It's strange that Lin He calls me every day and asks me what time I'll be back. Sometimes, if I come back late, Song Su will ride his bike to send me home. Every time he runs into me, he will make some sarcastic remarks.
For example, today is my birthday, and I'm officially 18 years old. I came home late at night, had some alcohol, and Song Su didn't ride his bike. He walked slowly with me. When I got to the building, he suddenly called out to me, Lee Wan, from now on, I'll spend every birthday with you, okay? The sky was too dark, and I couldn't see his expression clearly. Thinking that this was the beginning of our revolutionary friendship, of course it's good. You're my best brother. I slapped him several times, and he coughed with a hint of loneliness in his eyes. You hit hard.
You almost didn't have a brother anymore. We looked at each other and laughed. We just happened to meet Lin He when he came down to throw out the trash. He looked at us with resentment and said in a bad mood, Lee Wan, it's already past 12. Aren't you going home?
Hey, go back. Your little childhood friend is calling you. Song Su whispered teasingly, waved at me, and reminded me to go home and have some honey water.
11. The elevator was going up, and Lin He was still talking.
For the first time, I found him talkative like an old woman. Are you annoying? I'm back, aren't I? He stiffened, his tone strange. Am I annoying? You promised me you'd be back before 10. What if something happened to you? How would I explain it to Uncle?
Today is an exception, and I'm with Song Su. There's no danger. Even if I don't come back, I have somewhere to go. Going out at night? Where else do you want to go with him? Don't think because you're dating he can do whatever he wants.
Lin He's tone became serious, his whole body full of alertness. I looked at him strangely. Why are you so angry? He looked away uncomfortably and fell silent, entering the house. I was pouring water when he spoke in a low voice, you have your birthday today. Why didn't you invite me? Oh, I forgot.
Actually, I didn't forget. I just didn't want to think about unhappy things on such a happy day. Lin He lowered his eyes and went to the fridge to get me some honey. After a while, he handed me a blue box. Happy birthday.
Thank you. I finished the honey water, but I didn't feel like opening the gift box. He hesitated for a while, then seemed to want to say something but held back, and went back to his room with his head down. I don't have high expectations for the gift he gave me. He used to give me a doll every year. Those kind of dolls you can get by scanning a QR code on the street. Common dolls you can see everywhere. No.
My bed is still filled with those stuffed toys. I opened the box without much interest and was instantly stunned.
It was a handmade little girl carrying a sunflower backpack, very similar to me when I was young. The person who wove it was clearly a beginner, with two obvious holes visible to the eye. He actually made it by hand. This is really rare in my life. 12. The day the college entrance exam results came out. My father accompanied us to check the scores.
Lin He unsurprisingly still got high scores, 698. When I saw the score of 622, tears immediately flowed down my face.
Great, great. You really made me proud, my father said with red eyes, patting my head, and said he would take us out for a big meal that night. My father took a screenshot of the score and quickly posted it on his social media to show off. By the way, Wan Wan, where do you plan to go to school? When are you going to fill out your application? I'll stay in a 985 university here.
I want to be close to my father. Chen Pan and Song Su seem to also plan to study in the same province. Okay, then I don't have to worry about you going to a distant city where you don't know anyone. I didn't do well last time, so I had to choose nursing as my major. This time I can choose to study medicine. My mother passed away when I was very young. Back then, medical technology wasn't advanced, so I want to contribute as much as I can. Lin He saw his own score and seemed unsurprised.
Lee Qian's score is probably similar to his. They can go to Beijing University together. That's really great. While my father was on the phone, Lin He suddenly asked me, do you want to stay in the local area mainly because of Song Su? Do you really like him that much? What's that got to do with you? I'm a bit annoyed with him now, feeling like he's been getting too involved lately. Lin He was staring at me, and his expression was no longer as indifferent as before.
Lee Wan, if you say so, I can also stay in this province with you. No need. You have such good grades.
Staying here would be a waste. You should go to your ideal Beijing University. Lee Qian is probably also going to get in, and you two can keep each other company. I didn't give her the love letter. Oh, my phone lit up and Song Su was calling me. I was just about to answer the call when Lin He grabbed my wrist looking a bit angry. Don't you care at all? Care about what? Care about you.
Who said not to hang on one tree worried about bad luck? He turned pale all of a sudden when I repeated the exact words back to him. I pulled my hand away and went to the balcony to answer the phone.
13, Song Su's parents both work in this province so he stayed here and his college application was consistent with mine. Great. We can ride bikes together again. After that day, I didn't pay much attention to Lin He's movements. Whether he chased Li Qian or not, it had nothing to do with me.
A month passed. I spent every day with Song Su learning to drive and taking the driving test and I got a bit tanned. Lin He received the admission notice from Beijing University and he left without saying goodbye to me at the start of the semester. As if he was upset with me.
The daily life of a medical student is so busy. There's so much knowledge to learn. I run between the library and the classroom every day and Song Su has to choose a time to invite me to eat.
During the final exams, I looked at two thick books like bricks and felt like crying. Song Su noticed I was getting thinner and often brought me food and kept me company while I studied. Why do you look so relaxed? Don't you need to study at all? I asked him. It's all in my head. He shrugged.
I enviouly look at every person with a good memory. Probably because Song Su often comes to see me, the classmates started talking and thought he was chasing me and I also vaguely felt something that he was different from others towards me. But Song Su always acted as if everything was the same so I didn't initiatively point it out. After the exam, I celebrated Song Su's birthday at school, but my mind was preoccupied with whether I had answered my pathology questions correctly.
Song Su looked at the candles and smiled. I don't have any wishes. Maybe I'll wish for you. Li Wan, don't be so serious. I'll wish for you in the future. Will that make you smile? I forced a smile and didn't hold back at all. I hope I don't fail the class.
Please. Okay, the heavens have heard. He blew out the candles smiling with a look of indulgence in his eyes. 14, during the summer vacation, I met Lin He who I hadn't contacted for half a year. He still chose law and seemed to be frequently involved in various debate competitions and club activities and was quite busy. For the past two weeks, we have been getting along peacefully like strangers until Thursday night. Lin He went out to a friend's gathering and came back very late. I was almost asleep when I heard a stumbling sound at the door which knocked into the entrance cabinet. I walked out and saw Lin He sitting on the floor looking dejected. What's wrong?
Did you get drunk?
I was about to make him some honey water when he suddenly grabbed my wrist. Li Wan, I met Song Su today. Then what? He said you two never actually got together. Oh, I responded indifferently not knowing how I had triggered his nerves. Lin He suddenly stood up and pushed me against the wall. His eyes filled with complex emotions. Why didn't you tell me? Why did you let me be mistaken for so long? Is it fun to play with me? Do you know how much I He didn't finish speaking.
His red eyes looked like they were about to cry. I looked at him without any expression, but I wasn't really emotionless inside, but I just found it funny. Lin He, I explained to you before, but you didn't want to listen.
Now, what position do you have to question me? In silence, he seemed to recall a scene from a long time ago in that cafeteria where he saw Li Wan sitting with a boy. He had to admit that at that moment he felt very annoyed.
This feeling had been continuing until now.
Getting deeper and deeper. Lin He wiped his eyes and looked at me with courage.
Li Wan, I think I can't let go of you.
Can you continue to like me? I had imagined this scene many times before, but when it actually happened, it was already too late. No, why? He became anxious and tightly gripped me. Was it because of that love letter? I was immature before, couldn't tell the difference between love and admiration.
I don't like Li Qian. I just felt a kind of mutual understanding with her.
Is that true? But I never felt your love for me. I only felt his impatience and indifference towards me. Give me a chance. Let's start over and I'll make sure you feel it properly. Okay, he begged with a drunken gaze staring at me as if I were the last lifeline when he was drowning. But he didn't feel it. He hurt me at this moment. I pushed him several times, but he didn't let go. The more I resisted, the more anxious he became. Li Wan, please, please like me again. He bent down to kiss me.
I panicked and turned away and I slapped him. The loud sound shattered the quiet night. The pain on my face brought his sanity back. Lin He suddenly let go. I'm sorry. I I didn't listen to his explanation and ran back to my room. 15, the next day, I tried to act like nothing happened, but Lin He's eyes looked very guilty. At noon, Song Su came to pick me up. We had agreed to go see the latest released movie today. He knocked on the door lazily and even put on sunglasses to show off.
As soon as I opened the door, he saw my gloomy expression and his face turned serious. What's wrong with you? Are you sick or in a bad mood? It's okay. I reached for my hat to put it on and he suddenly grabbed my wrist. A red mark, even some bruising, was clearly caused by external force. Who did this? He became alert and even showed some police-like demeanor. I accidentally hurt myself. Song Su clearly didn't believe me. His eyes fixed on Lin He on the sofa and he grabbed his collar and pulled him forward. Did you bully her? Yes. Lin He has been staring at us since earlier and he's already extremely annoyed. You bastard. Song Su suddenly swung a punch and I was so scared that I grabbed him immediately. It seemed that Lin He had found an outlet for his frustration pulling Song Su to fight with him. I was flustered and shouted for them to stop.
If my dad comes back and sees the mess, he'll definitely scold us to death. Stop fighting.
Can't you be calm for a moment? I grabbed Song Su and pulled him away seeing that he had a wound on his face.
How could a future people's police officer be so impulsive? However, Lin He's face wasn't much better either.
Song Su had been trained and he specifically targeted the painful spots.
Lin He's face was pale, but there were no visible marks for the time being.
Song Su didn't dare to say a word when I glared at him. He weakly said, "The movie is about to start. Let's go."
Why are you watching a movie you're injured like this? Come with me to buy some medicine. I angrily pulled him out of the door completely forgetting that there was another person who was also injured. Lin He looked at the two figures walking away feeling lonely as he covered his abdomen. After buying the medicine, I applied it to Song Su and he winced in pain. Don't fight recklessly anymore. What you learned is for protecting the people not for fighting.
Humph, he bullied you.
And you're still defending him. I'm not.
I'm speaking for you. If you get reported and punished, won't it affect your job as a police officer? Song Su was taken aback. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but then it dropped again due to the pain. Li Wan, you're so worried about me. No, you have 16. Since the argument with Lin He, he hasn't done anything extreme anymore, but he really seems to have started liking me trying to make me feel it every holiday.
He comes back to cook for me and gives me carefully prepared gifts. On my birthday, National Day, Christmas, there's always his presence at school. I see him with dark circles under his eyes from traveling by plane. I just feel he's wasting his time.
But he only cares about whether I'm happy or not. My senior year birthday, also the end of my undergraduate studies. I studied for 7 years in a row and after that I would move to another campus. Song Su was sent to do a task by the bureau and couldn't come back to celebrate my birthday. Lin He was cooking in the kitchen and he had prepared all the dishes I like. I was staring at the chat window with Song Su distracted. What are you looking at?
Dinner is ready. Nothing.
I don't know what Song Su has been busy with these days. Is what he's doing dangerous? If he Li Wan, Lin He coldly cut me off and I suddenly came back to my senses realizing that the person sitting in front of me was Lin He.
You've been mentioning him since I came back. He looked very dissatisfied but also helpless. Oh, sorry. Li Wan, when will you finally look at me? Eat. This soup looks good. Lin He felt he had tried hard enough. Why couldn't he go back to the past?
Late at night, I was about to go to sleep when my phone lit up. Song Su, open the window. I quickly pulled back the curtain and saw Song Su standing below waving something that was glowing on his hand. I ran down and looked at him in surprise. You said you might not be back from the mission. Yes, but I couldn't help it. I promised someone and I'll be with her every birthday from now on. He handed me the bottle that was glowing in his hand. The fireflies are flying inside.
Flickering in the dark. It's for you. I saw it when I was on a mission. I thought you might like it. Thank you. I smiled at him feeling that he had more to say. I vaguely guessed what it was, but he kept looking at me and finally sighed gently. Li Wan, happy birthday.
17, Song Su was interning. I was in graduate school. When Song Su became a team leader in the police station, I had just started my internship in the hospital. Every time I see people suffering from illness or death, I feel a bit sad until one day several seriously injured people were brought to the hospital. Song Su was among them.
His abdomen was stabbed. His spleen was injured and he was bleeding heavily. My mentor worked hard to save him and only after the red light in the operating room went out did he stabilize. I took a moment to check on him and his face was pale as if he wouldn't wake up any second. I had red eyes and silently prayed that he wouldn't have any more problems late at night.
I was reviewing neurosurgery knowledge by his bedside when I suddenly saw his finger move slightly. Looking up, I met his eyes. Lee Wan, did you save me? No, it was my mentor. I only helped a little bit. I got up to check his condition, asked if he felt dizzy or wanted to vomit, and recorded everything. Then I felt relieved. You look very professional now. Song Su smiled, his eyes bright. Of course, I did study hard for 7 years. Then I'll rely on Dr. Lee in the future.
What are you talking about? Don't let me see you in the hospital again. He smiled, gently touching my fingertip with his wrist. After hesitating for a while, he didn't take my hand. A nurse came to call me for rounds, and I gave him some instructions before leaving.
Then came the busy daily routine. Song Su stayed in the hospital for a month, and many colleagues came to visit him.
Every time I went for rounds, his friend would wink and make a face as if everyone understood.
But Song Su didn't show any reaction at all until the day he was discharged. He didn't say anything, and he still called me Dr. Lee. I handed him the medicine in a bad mood and wrote down the instructions clearly. Hey, Song Su, is there anything you want to say to me?
What? I will strictly follow the medical advice. He pretended not to know. I glared at him in anger. You'd better never say it. 18. In the following years, Song Su often went on missions, traveling all over the country.
And sometimes I couldn't reach him. Lin He was still as excellent as ever, entering a top law firm after graduation and became a top lawyer within a few years. He is now very rich and sometimes sends me some strange but very expensive things. I haven't even had a chance to open some of them. They're all piled up in my father's study. The hospital is too busy. Sometimes I don't even have time to eat. Lin He came to see me a few times, but he didn't say much, and I had to go back to work again.
He still doesn't give up. Whenever he has time, he contacts me, and sometimes he sends flowers to the hospital.
Sometimes when I'm drunk, he calls me and repeatedly asks me, Lee Wan, how can you possibly like me? Tell me. Okay, why are you doing this to me? You were the one who liked me first. How can you just change your mind? I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those things. Please come back. Let's continue to like each other. Lee Wan, I really miss you.
No one's feelings change all of a sudden. In the many years we'd been together, in the 10 years we got married in the previous life, he had so many chances to say I love you. Since he didn't, then it's over. Look forward.
19. Time passed quickly, and I'm now 32 years old again. In the previous life, I died in an elevator accident in December of that year. I don't know if anything will happen this year. The phone rang and interrupted my thoughts. Song Su's lazy voice came through. Dr. Lee.
My birthday is next week. What are you going to give me? I let out a cold laugh. I'll give you the best wishes.
This guy has been dragging his feet for so many years not to confess his feelings to me, making us not a couple but yet closer than one, which has seriously affected my love life. He even wants me to give him gifts. Dream on. He smiled faintly and said, the bureau is planning to promote me. My overseas assignments will be reduced.
And I can stay in this province permanently from now on. Oh, and then what? I also played dumb with him. Then, this year's birthday wish I made myself, if my wish is to confess my feelings to you, do you think it will come true? You try it. I tried to stay calm, but a bit of sweetness rose in my heart. Before the phone call ended, a nurse rushed in and said the director needed to hold an emergency meeting. I quickly took my notebook and rushed over.
The director said that a magnitude 8 earthquake had occurred in Tongcheng, and the hospital needed to send personnel for support. No wonder I felt a dizziness at noon. It wasn't a delusion after all. I'm on the list. I quickly gathered my things and followed the group to Tongcheng. When I arrived at the scene, there was a pile of ruins and cries of sorrow. My colleague and I didn't have time to grieve. We immediately joined the support efforts.
There are not enough supplies here.
The roads are also inconvenient to access, and many medicines are missing.
We all posted on WeChat to call for help, and Lin He immediately contacted me, saying he could donate supplies. Me, thank you, Lin lawyer. Lin He, how do you thank me? Is that all you can say to me? Me, I have to go to work. Lin He, take care. Contact me if you need anything. 20. Late at night, I was about to take over the shift with a colleague when a sudden tremor made people panic.
Quick, get under the table. My colleague shouted. I had just taken a step when the ground suddenly gave way. The broken earth blocks fell quickly. Then there was darkness, and I lost consciousness.
The second earthquake was not as strong as the first, but the damage was still significant. I was trapped below, pinned by the rocks, unable to move.
I don't know how long it had been, but my body started to go numb, and my hands lost sensation. I was parched and too weak to even shout for help. The darkness around me made me think of the moment the elevator lost gravity. Was it all predestined? Am I still going to die? My phone in my pocket lit up, and I saw it was Song Su calling, but I couldn't answer it. That's terrible. I even got a second chance at life, but still couldn't hear the confession from the person I like.
My consciousness gradually faded away, and my body also started to lose warmth.
A hurried voice came from above. Lee Wan, where are you? 21. It felt like I had slept for a century. When I woke up, I found myself back at the hospital where I work. Lee Wan, you're awake. How are you? Is there anywhere that hurts?
Song Su was looking at me anxiously, his eyes filled with tears. I shook my head.
How was the rescue? Are the colleagues who were trapped with me okay? He was angry.
But then grabbed my hand as if he had found something precious. Good. Good that you're awake. He bent down, and tears fell on my hand, especially scorching. Did you save me? Yes, I couldn't reach you, and then our team was sent for support. Thank you. Thanks.
You've saved me, too. We're even. Song Su called a doctor to check me, then bought me a nutritional meal and fed me bite by bite, like taking care of a child. I stayed in the hospital for a few days.
And Song Su watched over me for those few days. On the day I was discharged, Song Su suddenly wasn't there. I packed my things by myself and planned to go home and have a good meal. As I was about to leave the hospital, roses suddenly started falling from the sky. I hadn't even reacted yet. Song Su was dressed formally, kneeling on one knee in front of me, the diamond ring in his hand shining. Lee Wan, I like you. I've liked you since high school, but because of my career, I've always been afraid to be stable with you, worried about holding you back. Now, can you give me this chance?
Lee Wan, will you marry me? His colleagues and friends were throwing petals around, and my colleagues were also cheering. I was so embarrassed my face turned bright red. Who came up with this stupid idea? It's so cheesy. I covered my face, catching a glimpse of a well-dressed figure outside the crowd.
Lin He was holding a bouquet of roses, as if he had rushed over.
With sweat on his forehead, his face was pale, and he touched the square box in his pocket. Dr. Lee, how much longer do you want me to kneel? Song Su asked me in a low voice, his eyes filled with anxiety. I laughed and said, I do. The ring was perfectly sized for my ring finger. Finally, I waited for it. Song Su suddenly hugged me and cried excitedly. Wow, Captain, are you okay?
The girls didn't cry. Do you understand?
That's love. I'm so envious. If I go back to high school, is it still possible? I don't want to be a lonely king anymore. That night, I received a message from Lin He. Are you really going to marry him, Lee Wan? I was with you the longest. Why is it him in the end? Take another look at me.
Okay. I deleted the message and blocked him. The person behind me wrapped around me and kissed me. Focus. 22. The day I married Song Su, Lin He didn't come, but he sent a very expensive diamond. When Song Su saw the gift, he started to act suspiciously, thinking that Lin He still had ulterior motives. Then he set the diamond on a collar and put it on my father's poodle.
A year after my marriage, Lin He was still single. Later, I got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, and he was still single. My father even advised him to find a girlfriend soon, as there were so many girls chasing him. He silently drank, his face dark and gloomy. After dinner, Lin He looked at the little girl in the crib and bit his lip. Lee Wan, she looks like you. Hmm.
If only back then, he didn't finish, held back his feelings, and sighed slightly. Song Su frowned and looked at him suspiciously. What are you thinking?
She's my wife, legal. Don't have any wrong ideas. Lin He laughed bitterly.
She's only legal for now. Life is so long. Who knows when they might get divorced? He thought maliciously, a bitter feeling rising in his heart. You.
Song Su wanted to punch him again, but restrained himself in front of the family. On the way back, Song Su was in a bad mood. He wanted to scold a dog just for passing by. In the middle of the night, Song Su suddenly got up and asked me, wife, where did you put the marriage certificate? What's wrong? I'm going to hide it. What's wrong with you? I went back to sleep, and he started thinking about where to hide it. End of main text. Extra chapter. My name is Lin He. From the first day I arrived at the Lee family, I knew that I and Lee Wan would never be equal.
Although Uncle Lee was very kind to me, if Lee Wan fell down, he would blame me for not watching her properly. So I always followed Lee Wan and protected her. People say I'm a man who lives off his wife's family. I didn't argue back, because that's how it is, living under someone else's roof. I really hate that feeling. I also hate Li Yuan because of the hatred for the house. She always lingers around me wanting to follow me to do this and that. I can't refuse her.
But I feel repulsion from the bottom of my heart. In order not to make my uncle think that I'm an ungrateful foster child, I have to please Li Yuan and not let her get angry. As I grew older, she became more and more beautiful and well-behaved. I started to often glance at her and when she found out, I would pretend to be cold and say she was vain.
I don't want to fall in love with her. I don't want to lose my last bit of dignity. However, in my second year of high school Li Yuan confessed her feelings to me. I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, but I forced myself to suppress it. Her response to me was a bit disappointed, but the next day she kept chasing after me. One day, she got sick.
The medicine was too bitter and she asked me to go buy her dessert. Seeing her about to cry, I had no choice but to agree. In the dessert shop, I met Li Qian. She had accidentally broken a freshly made cake and her adopted father scolded her for being useless and a burden.
If I hadn't been there, that man might have been even harsher. I watched Li Qian's carefulness and feel that we are the same. Later, I often made an excuse to buy desserts for Li Yuan and went to the store to look for Li Qian. Every time I bought desserts, I didn't rush back. I sat in the store feeling like I had gotten a moment of respite.
Those were the few times when I didn't have to take care of Li Yuan's and uncle's emotions. Sometimes we would talk about our family backgrounds. Li Qian would always sigh, but then she would try hard to study like a tenacious little grass. I should like girls like her. Only she could understand my feelings. I wrote Li Qian a love letter, but I never sent it out. I always felt that my feelings for her weren't enough and that would be unfair to her.
Recently, Li Yuan has been acting strangely.
She always wants to get rid of me. I saw her laughing and talking with Song Su. I probably guessed that they were dating.
Saying that she likes me, she changed so fast. I was secretly happy thinking I could get rid of her. At the same time, I was a bit angry. Why did she like someone else? Later, I found that the love letter was missing. I instinctively suspected that Li Yuan took it. I felt a bit panicked and angry and went to look for her. She was surprisingly calm.
As if it didn't matter to her who I liked. I was very annoyed. On the day of filling in the college application, I told Li Yuan that I could stay with her, but she's not interested in me anymore.
I was both angry and upset. So I went to Beijing University far away. After arriving, I felt very regretful again.
I'm not by Li Yuan's side, but Song Su is. Li Yuan doesn't talk to me anymore and even if she does, her lips are always mentioning Song Su's name. I really hate this. The girl in front of me wearing a high school uniform and with a face full of collagen made me a bit unable to react. Yelling, but no matter what I do, we can't go back. Many years have passed and Li Yuan and Song Su never ended up together. I think I still have a chance, but Li Yuan is very busy and always ignores me. I gave her the most expensive things, but she no longer smiled at me like before. I am very scared. Until Li Yuan was rescued, I was completely broken and suddenly realized that I couldn't wait any longer.
I had ordered a diamond ring and flowers and rushed over. It was still too late.
I feel so regretful. Song Su was right.
I had so many years to keep Li Yuan, but I didn't. I made her sad. I myself pushed her into someone else's arms. I don't want to wish them well. I just want to wish Wan Wan well. Forever happy. Story two. I've married my childhood friend 38 times. Each time, my former fiance, Ji Guai Fan, would come to wreck the wedding scene.
He would tear off my veil with a gloomy expression and rough movements. Ji Ran, how dare you marry another man without my permission? Ignoring my cries and pleas, he would take me back and house arrest me subjecting me to wanton humiliation. I resisted, struggled and even called the police trying every means to escape, but every time I would be caught by Ji Guai Fan. He threatened me with the lives and fortunes of my childhood friend's entire family and my career prospects forcing me to compromise again and again. However, when I finally compromised and stayed by his side obediently, he thought I was rigid and lifeless. I was reborn 37 times and each life ended badly. During my 38th rebirth, I didn't want to endure it anymore since every choice seemed to be wrong. Then I choose for Ji Guai Fan to die. One. I opened my eyes again and saw the gentle and affectionate face of my childhood friend, Qin Zhan. He choked up and said, "Ran Ran, I've finally married you." But there was no ripple in my heart. This is my 38th rebirth. Including the original life, I have married Qin Zhan 39 times. Each time, the wedding was never completed smoothly. Ji Ran, sure enough, the next second, Ji Guai Fan's enraged voice sounded. I turned my head and saw his figure already appearing at the end of the red carpet staring at me with a gloomy expression. Qin Zhan immediately stood guard in front of me protectively.
"Don't be afraid."
He said firmly, "Today is our wedding. I won't let anyone ruin this wonderful day." It's useless. The Ji family is a business tycoon with great power and influence. So even though Qin Zhan and I kept the news of our marriage airtight and we even set the wedding location on the back mountain of a distant relative's hometown of Qin Zhan, he could still find out and come in time to stop it. And Qin Zhan and I, one is an orphan with no one to rely on and the other is an ordinary student from a small town who excels in exams against Ji Guai Fan, the only son of the Ji family. It's simply like a mayfly shaking a tree or a mantis trying to block a cart. Qin Zhan had already instructed his relatives that as soon as Ji Guai Fan appeared, some people would immediately hold hoes and machetes intending to intimidate them, but obviously, they were no match for these well-trained professional bodyguards. Ji Guai Fan didn't even ask them to take action.
He threw out large amounts of red banknotes and those villagers immediately bent down to pick them up.
Escorted by bodyguards, Ji Guai Fan came to me unobstructed. Qin Zhan was held back by the bodyguards and shouted heartbreakingly, "Ji Guai Fan, you're not allowed to touch her." Ji Guai Fan ignored him and just sneered at me. "Ji Ran, you've really got some nerve." He tore off my veil and corsage in one go and there was an uncontrollable violence between his handsome eyebrows and eyes.
"How dare you marry another man without my permission?" Aiya, checking in at the famous scene. "Brother Ji is so handsome. I think the female lead should stop struggling and just submit to our brother Ji. Yeah, yeah. He is already realized his mistake. He loves you so much. Just go back with him obediently."
My pupils trembled. I was shocked when I saw these colorful bullet comments in front of me. These didn't appear in the previous 37 times. "Ji Ran, are you even listening to me?"
Seeing that I didn't react much, Ji Guai Fan became even angrier. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me wanting to leave.
"Come with me. Didn't you always want to marry me? We'll go back and get married.
Stop being angry. Love me obediently like you used to and I'll spare Qin Zhan." Why isn't the female lead saying anything? Is she stunned by brother Ji's domineering handsomeness? How is that possible? She must be thinking about running away in her heart. This drama is about forced love.
So she won't be so obedient. This man is so despicable. When the female lead was running after him, he was extremely annoyed by her. Now that the female lead doesn't love him anymore, he's sticking to her. Those who slandered him before, get out. Make it clear that it was the female lead's mother who first tried to get something in return for her kindness which led to this engagement for the female lead. Brother Ji really didn't like the female lead in the early days.
Is he supposed to sacrifice his whole life just because he was saved by her mother? I couldn't agree more. And the female lead's mother was also very scheming. If she hadn't thought that the Ji family was rich, she wouldn't have jumped into the water to save brother Ji.
So brother Ji is pitiful. In the early days, the female lead was really submissive and not likable. It's normal for him to dislike her. I thought I had already become numb after experiencing the chaotic lives of the previous 37 times, but when I heard someone say that my mother was scheming, I couldn't help but feel angry. My mother wouldn't have died if it wasn't for saving Ji Guai Fan. She had already escaped from my abusive father with me and found a good job.
Our lives were about to get better. She was such a good swimmer, but just because Ji Guai Fan, who was drowning, desperately pressed her underwater, she exhausted her strength. After sending Ji Guai Fan to the shore, she sank. She didn't even leave me a last word. How could she have tried to get something in return for her kindness? Okay, okay.
Stop arguing. Let's get in the car. The famous scene of having sex in the car is starting. I was stuffed into the car by Ji Guai Fan. The car door closed blocking out Qin Zhan's cries. Ji Guai Fan leaned over and pressed on me. His eyes deep. "Ran Ran, do you know how sad I am?" Perhaps because I didn't scold him hysterically like the previous 37 times, Ji Guai Fan's attitude was much gentler. There was a strong affection in his eyes and his desire gradually rose.
His big hand had lifted the wedding dress and reached under my skirt. "You can't marry someone else. You're my fiance. You're mine. Ran Ran." His lips and tongue wandered on my neck and the hot breath sprayed on my skin making me feel disgusted and sticky. The bullet comments scrolled through the screen excitedly. "Qin Zhan is watching outside the window and our brother Ji is pressing the female lead on the chair and having sex with her." Aiya, so exciting. "Ji Guai Fan." I said softly, "Then do you know how much I hate you?
Ji Guifean paused in his actions and raised a pair of angry and sad eyes. The next moment, I had already pulled out the hairpin behind my head and stabbed the sharp end into his neck. Blood spurted out, too.
The hot and sticky touch was so clear.
Ji Guifean's incredulous and terrified expression still remained in front of me. In a flash, I was back at the wedding scene again. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the grass was green. The groom, Qin Xuan, smiled and looked at me at the end of the red carpet. The bullet comments scrolled through the screen like crazy. Holy Did you all see that just now? Wasn't it my imagination? I saw it. I saw it. The female lead killed Brother G. She stabbed him to death. Goodness me. Isn't the drama I'm watching about the male lead chasing after the female lead and forcing love? Isn't it about her chasing him and him running away and her being unable to escape? How did it turn into a horror scene in the blink of an eye? I remember the original plot wasn't like this.
Isn't it supposed to be the famous scene of the male and female leads having sex in the car? Why did the female lead kill the male lead? Mom, it's so eerie. I don't want to watch it anymore. I want to go home. The male lead who forces women to do things deserves to die. The female lead stabbed him well. So satisfying. Don't be too happy yet, those above. Where's the exit button for this video? A A A. This rebirth occurred a little earlier than before. Ran Ran, I finally married you. Ji Ran.
But, it was only a little earlier. I looked at Ji Guifean at the end of the red carpet indifferently. The female lead's eyes are so scary. She won't try to kill Brother G again, will she? No.
Brother G loves you so much. Isn't it good to go back with him and live the life of a wealthy lady in a wealthy family? Why does she have to kill someone? The female lead is so despicable. Why is she treating the male lead like this?
It was clearly her and her mother who first tried to get something in return for their kindness. She was the one who provoked the male lead first. Now that the male lead has fallen in love with her, she's making that stinky face. Is she looking for trouble? That's right.
The male lead's biggest mistake is that he's been too kind and good-tempered all these years, spoiling her into what she is now. Is Ji Guifean too kind and good-tempered?
Then, what about all the torments I've suffered all these years? Is it the retribution from heaven after my mother saved this scumbag? Either we all had an illusion just now, or this drama suddenly went crazy. The plot will definitely be normal next. That's right.
That's it. Don't be afraid. Qin Xuan stood in front of me just like the previous 39 times. Today is our wedding.
I won't let anyone ruin Qin Xuan. I'm sorry. I pushed him away, tore off my veil and corsage, and walked straight towards Ji Guifean.
Ji Guifean at the end of the red carpet immediately stopped in his tracks, and the violence and gloom between his eyebrows and eyes melted away. He glanced triumphantly at Qin Xuan, who was blocked by the bodyguards behind me, and looked at me with a half smile. Ji Ran, at least you have some conscience.
I didn't say anything. I just stepped forward quickly, and with precision and force, I stabbed the sharp object in my hand into his neck.
Ji Guifean's eyes widened in Ran, Ran Ran. I pulled out the hairpin, and blood spurted out from his neck. Under the sunlight, it was as beautiful as a fountain of blood. After a short moment of silence, a series of panicked screams immediately rang out around us. Murder.
The bodyguards rushed up and pinned me to the ground. Ji Guifean covered his neck, and his body also slumped down uncontrollably. He looked terrified, in disbelief, dazed, and at a loss, as if he couldn't understand how things could have turned out like this. I had clearly walked towards him on my own initiative. I had clearly loved him so much. How could I kill him? In his terrified and confused gaze, I saw myself with blood on my face, and my smile was more carefree than ever before. Holy The female lead killed the male lead again. She's still smiling. My goodness. How can she still smile? A A A. My Brother G. How dare the female lead? How dare she?
Where the hell is the exit button? A A A. I really don't want to watch anymore.
Double kill. Congratulations to the female lead for achieving a double kill.
The last bullet comment caught my attention. However, before I could take a closer look, Ji Guifean, unwilling and resentful, took his last breath. When I opened my eyes again, he had changed his clothes and was alive again. Ji Ran, I'll give you one more chance. Kneel down and wipe Han Ying's shoes clean.
He leaned carelessly on the leather sofa in the private room of the bar, holding a woman in a red dress in his arms, with a haughty and indifferent expression. If you do it, I'll still recognize you as my fiance. If you don't, get out of the G family. Brother Guifean, this isn't very appropriate, is it? After all, Sister Ran Ran has an engagement with you. The woman in the red dress, Jiang Heining, Ji Guifean's childhood sweetheart, pretended to be reluctant and persuaded him.
What engagement? I recognize it, and she's my fiance. If I don't recognize it, Ji Guifean sneered. Those peach blossom eyes that should have been gentle and affectionate were now surging with resentment and jealousy. He enunciated each word clearly. She's a promiscuous and two-faced I remembered. This was 2 months before my wedding with Qin Xuan. Ji Guifean saw me chatting and laughing with Qin Xuan and believed that I was promiscuous and would flirt with any man I saw.
So, he deliberately humiliated me. In the original life, this was the moment when I completely saw through Ji Guifean's true nature and decided to give up on him. What's going on? Why is the timeline getting earlier each time?
Although I'm a fan of the male and female leads as a couple, I have to say that the male lead is really despicable at this time. Just because he saw the female lead chatting with her childhood friend for a while, he wants to humiliate the female lead like this.
The male lead has probably changed dozens of bed partners. The male lead is a young master of a wealthy family. It would be strange if a 25-year-old person was still a virgin, right? Then, what about the female lead? Does the female lead have to wait for the male lead with her virginity intact? It's precisely the male lead's scummyness and despicability in the early stage that can better set off how satisfying it is when he becomes a lackey for the female lead in the later stage.
I like this kind of plot. I like it, and I want more. Where's the satisfaction? I only see the female lead's pain and struggle. The male lead really deserves to die. I support the female lead in killing him for the third time. What?
You don't want to? Ji Guifean looked at me and smiled, but his eyes had no warmth at all. Do you want to be a housewife for your little childhood friend, Ji Ran? Are you really so inseparable from men? Suddenly, he flew into a rage, stood up, and grabbed my neck, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Do you still remember that you're my Ji Guifean's fiance?" For sake. I had difficulty breathing, but I still couldn't help laughing. Ji Guifean, do you know that you're the most despicable person I've ever met in my life? Ji Guifean raised his eyebrows in surprise and said in disbelief, "What did you say?" I said, "I picked up the fruit knife on the fruit plate and stabbed it hard into Ji Guifean's abdomen. Then, I pulled it out and stabbed it in again.
I said you're a despicable person, a despicable person. Did you ever consider me your fiance? Do you still remember that my mother died to save you? Three."
Ji Guifean covered his wound and stumbled onto the sofa. His childhood sweetheart, his close friends, and the hostesses in the bar all let out a scream and scattered like birds and beasts. Ji Guifean looked in pain, but there was still residual anger on his face.
It was clearly you and your mother who tried to get something in return for your kindness. Don't say that to me. I pounced on him and stabbed him with another knife. Then, I held the handle of the knife and twisted it hard. The engagement between you and me was insisted on by your parents. My mother died saving you. I was only 7 years old at that time. Could a 7-year-old child coerce your G family into arranging an engagement between me and you? What's more, don't you know exactly what kind of life I've lived all these years? What kind of fiance am I? I'm clearly a dog that your G family raised for you. In Ji Guifean's wide, terrified eyes, I saw myself, covered in blood and looking frenzied.
If it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have died at all. She was such a good swimmer. It was you who pushed her underwater again and again. Go to hell. Go to hell. Go to hell. I lost count of how many times I stabbed him.
I just felt an unprecedented sense of relief. The resentment and indignation that had been pent up for so many years had finally found an outlet to pour out.
In the end, Ji Guifean lay on the sofa with his eyes wide open. The part below his neck was a mass of blood and flesh, and it was impossible to tell it was a human shape. I was completely drained of strength and slumped down in a pool of blood, laughing with great satisfaction.
The bullet comments that had briefly paused started scrolling like crazy again. Some people thought I was too heartless. Some were scared by me. Some people thought I was quite patient to hold on until now before going crazy.
There were also those who felt sorry for Ji Guifean and cursed me wildly. I didn't care about any of it. I just stared intently at the bullet comments, until finally, another bullet comment popped up. Triple kill. Congratulations to the female lead for achieving a triple kill.
I didn't close my eyes. I watched as the scene in front of me twisted and changed, and in an instant, it became the grand hall of the G family's villa.
The clothes were fragrant, the women's hair was styled beautifully, there were numerous guests, and the music was melodious. This was 3 years ago. It was Ji Guifean's mother's 50th birthday banquet. Before I could snap out of the exhilaration of killing Ji Guifean with my own hands, the 22-year-old Ji Guifean suddenly rushed out and pulled me away. He walked quickly and urgently, and I couldn't keep up at all. I instinctively struggled. Ji Guiefan suddenly turned around, his eyes bloodshot. Ji Ran, is this what you want? Do you even know what shame is? His words were confusing, but I understood he had been drugged. It was an aphrodisiac secretly administered to him by the sworn enemy of the Ji family. The intention was to create a scandal and shame the Ji family.
As a result, Ji Guiefan mistakenly thought that I was the one who had drugged him and took me to the room and raped me. Even though more than 30 lifetimes had passed, just thinking about that night's experience made me feel terrified, and Ji Guiefan is not human at all. He's just a rutting beast.
After that night, I fainted for a full 3 days. As soon as I woke up, I faced the harsh scolding of the entire Ji family.
I always knew you were a restless one.
But I never expected you to be so bold as to drug Guiefan directly at the banquet. Do you know how strong that drug is? It could have hurt Guiefan's body. We raised you so big, not for you to bite the hand that feeds you. I said it wasn't me, that I didn't drug Ji Guiefan, that I didn't know anything about it at all, and that it was Ji Guiefan who raped me. Ji's mother scolded me. Who else should we blame if not you? You're Guiefan's fiance. Isn't that what we keep you for?
Still talking about being raped, pretending to be a chaste and heroic woman. You dared to drug him, but you don't dare to take responsibility. No one was willing to listen to my explanation. Everyone, just like Ji Guiefan, believed that I was a scheming woman who coveted wealth and glory, afraid that Ji Guiefan wouldn't marry me. I was trying to force the issue at the birthday banquet and make them fulfill the engagement and marry me into the family.
I was punished by being put in confinement. A high fever led to pneumonia, and I almost died. Later, when the truth came out and they realized that I wasn't the one who had drugged him, they just casually said, "So it wasn't you. Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Ji Guiefan didn't show the slightest bit of remorse. Instead, he said jokingly, "Well, you made a profit then. Ran Ran, if I hadn't been drugged by mistake, I might never have touched you in my life." Not only did he not apologize, he didn't even admit to wrongly accusing me. "Since you want it, I'll satisfy you." Ji Guiefan's breath, reeking of alcohol, sprayed on my face. His turbid eyes, stained by wine and debauchery, were full of animalistic desire. Stop killing. Stop killing. Although the male lead really deserves to die at this moment, but female lead, baby, you don't want to be trapped in the loop forever, right? Only by following the original plot can you truly get out of the loop.
A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A female lead.
Even if I'm begging you, really stop killing. This world revolves around the male lead. Only by obediently following the original plot will the female lead gain happiness. Why doesn't she understand that? Happiness. Ever since my mother drowned while saving Ji Guiefan, I've no longer had the ability to feel true happiness. Ji Guiefan is the source of all my pain in this life.
As long as he's alive, I'll never be able to be truly happy. Moreover, haven't I tried following the original plot?
Whether I'm gentle and submissive or fiercely resistant, as long as Ji Guiefan is around, I always end up with a bad outcome. I remember this plot was also very cruel. The female lead fainted for 3 days for the first time and was wrongly accused of drugging someone. She was put in confinement, had a high fever that led to pneumonia, and almost died.
Our brother Ji didn't know the truth either. Female lead. Can't you talk to him properly? That's right. At this time, he already has feelings for you in his heart. He just can't accept that the person he likes is scheming against him like this. If you talk to him properly, the result this time will definitely be different from before. I suppressed the urge to vomit and lowered my head meekly and timidly. The bullet comments were filled with joy and excitement. Thank goodness. The female lead is finally willing to make a change. Ji Guiefan snorted coldly and dragged me straight upstairs.
I casually took a dinner knife from the dining table and hid it in the sleeve of my dress against my skin. Wait a minute.
No. Did I see it wrong? As soon as we entered the door, Ji Guiefan threw me onto the bed and then pounced on me eagerly. Ji Ran, how old are you and already so lustful? Are you so afraid that I won't marry you that you're willing to drug me just to tie yourself to me? Is this your love for me? Ji Ran, fine. I'll grant you your wish.
The dinner knife pierced through the fabric of his suit and stabbed into his lower body without a sound. Perhaps the pain comes more slowly to someone who has been drugged with a powerful aphrodisiac. It wasn't until the blood from my second stab splattered on my face that Ji Guiefan realized it was his own blood, not the blush on my face. For the pain came crashing down, and he involuntarily arched his body. Like a shrimp with its intestines removed. Ji Ran, are you crazy?
The bullet comments were equally in a state of collapse. Didn't you say you would talk properly? Why are you stabbing him again? Talk properly. Why should I talk properly to a beast? He doesn't understand human language anyway, and it would just be a waste of my breath. But I was still in a good mood and replied to Ji Guiefan's words.
I'm not crazy. I'm just fighting back against a rapist who has lost his humanity. Ji Guiefan was twitching in pain and curled up into a ball.
His face was as red as if it were, his eyes filled with shock, anger, resentment, and more than anything, confusion and bewilderment. A rapist.
After understanding the meaning of the word, he became angry. Ji Ran, get it straight. It was clearly you who drugged me. No. If I really drugged you, it would only be rat poison, not an aphrodisiac. Even in such intense pain, Ji Guiefan's expression showed a brief moment of blankness.
He really couldn't understand the deep-seated hatred I had for him. The Ji family had been kind to me. I had been his fiance since I was a child. Whether I truly loved him or loved the Ji family's wealth and power, it was always my own choice. How could I hate him so much that I wanted to kill him? Ji Ran, no. You're not Ji Ran. He dragged his body, which was on the verge of fainting from the pain, off the bed and crawled towards the door. Somebody, help. But just like in the original life, when I was being tortured under Ji Guiefan and desperately calling for help with no response, this time Ji Guiefan's cries for help also went unanswered. I lightly jumped off the bed and locked the door from the inside. Ji Guiefan, why did you think it was me who gave you the aphrodisiac? I had wanted the answer to this question for so long. All these years in the Ji family, I was nominally your fiance, but in reality, wasn't I just a personal nanny that your parents raised for you? No.
A nanny has human rights, a salary, and holidays. I'm different. I squatted down and tapped his face with the blood-stained dinner knife one by one. I not only had to be at your beck and call, but I also had to endure all kinds of humiliation from you and your cronies. Deliberately pushing me into the water, ordering me to go halfway across the city to buy mung bean cakes and then not eating them, making me cook chicken soup for your beloved childhood sweetheart. That's all fine.
Deleting the contract, causing me to mess up the company project and owe a million yuan in debt, snatching away the precious sponsorship spot I get, making me take the blame for your cheating crony, and getting me a major demerit.
One after another. Ji Guiefan, do you know how long I've remembered these things and how long I've hated you?
Although I used to ship the male and female leads, well, I can't do it anymore now. I support the female lead in killing the scumbag.
Brother Ji was a bit mischievous, but the female lead really did live a wealthy life in the Ji family all these years, and brother Ji didn't like the female lead before. With his status, what kind of woman couldn't he find?
It's not like he was tied to a country bumpkin girl from the countryside since he was a child. He was too, you know. Ji Guiefan covered his wound and gasped for breath with difficulty. I admit, I really did these things wrong, but Ran Ran, you also have to understand me.
Having a fiance out of the blue, I wasn't exactly happy about it either. I slashed his face with a knife. Did I force your parents to arrange this engagement for us with a knife? Ji Guiefan, have you forgotten that I was only 7 years old when my mother drowned saving you? The tip of the knife approached Ji Guiefan's eyes.
And only then did fear spread in his eyes. It was your parents who arranged the engagement between me and you in order to have a good reputation for the company. You never even asked about my true wishes. I don't want a goddamn fiance at all. I scratched his face fiercely. I want my mother. I want my living mother. Ji Guiefan, give me back my mother. No. The tip of the knife stabbed deeply into his eye socket, and I heard a scream that was extremely satisfying.
The female lead is so ruthless, but why do I feel kind of satisfied? My brother Ji, don't struggle. Those above, anyway, we can't exit. Otherwise, let's look at it from the female lead's perspective and treat it as a revenge story that makes people feel great. I didn't let Ji Guiefan die as easily as the previous three times. Even if he was blind, he still had his hands. Even if his hands were broken, he still had his feet. The blood flowed bit by bit.
He was in so much pain that he didn't have the strength to scream. When the dinner knife finally stabbed into his neck, I even saw a look of relief on his face. Quadra kill. Congratulations to the female lead for achieving a quadra kill. This time, it was 7 years ago. Ji Guiefan and I were 18 years old and in our senior year of high school. Am I going to search your school bag myself, or are you going to hand over that necklace voluntarily?
The 18-year-old Ji Guiefan had a youthful look in his eyes and brows, but that annoying air of contempt and arrogance seemed to be innate, firmly taking root between his eyebrows. What's going on now? I know. The supporting female character, Jiang Heining, suspects that the female lead stole her necklace and is here to demand an explanation. The male lead knew that Ji Guan Haining didn't like the female lead, so to please her, he directly bought an identical necklace and put it in the female lead's school bag. Huh, no. What does that mean?
Deliberately torturing the female lead.
You guys upstairs just found out. This drama has been torturing the female lead from beginning to end, but now our female lead has risen up and can knock down the male lead and the supporting female character in no time. I ignored the unruly Ji Gu Ai Fan. I looked around and, as expected, saw the looks of disdain or contempt from everyone.
What a pity. This was the classroom and there were no convenient weapons at hand. I wondered if a ballpoint pen could pierce through Ji Gu Ai Fan's neck. Just as I was worrying, I reached into my school bag and felt it.
Immediately, I was overjoyed. How could I have forgotten? During my high school days, I had a serious self-destructive tendency and often carried a small knife with me. Ji Gu Ai Fan, I smiled Can you come over here? I'll give you the necklace. Ji Gu Ai Fan was taken aback.
And his sword-like eyebrows furrowed even deeper, but he still came over and said impatiently, "What trick are you playing this time?" I pulled out the small knife and slashed at his neck with all my might. Ji Gu Ai Fan had no precautions against me, a lackey who had always followed him since childhood, submissive, cowardly, and as soft-tempered as cotton. He couldn't have imagined that I would resist. He couldn't have imagined that I would go for the big move right from the start.
Directly cutting his throat with a knife, Ji Gu Ai Fan covered his neck, which was spurting blood, and stepped back. Ji Ran, Ji Guan Haining supported him and screamed in horror. "Are you crazy?" The classmates who were watching the commotion around us were immediately scared and scattered in all directions.
Ji Ran, I took out the diamond necklace that was said to be worth tens of thousands of yuan from my school bag and threw it at his feet. Ji Gu Ai Fan, you put this necklace in my school bag, right?
Ji Gu Ai Fan opened his mouth futilely, but could only make a strange horse sound. "I really can't figure you out."
I sighed and casually picked up a glass on the table and smashed it. Ignoring the cut on my palm, I held the sharp shard in my hand. Ji Guan Haining was so scared that she screamed. She didn't care about Ji Gu Ai Fan anymore and crawled out in a panic. Ji Gu Ai Fan fell to the ground and looked at me in horror.
"What on earth did I do to offend you that you keep torturing me one way after another? My mother saved you, not harmed you, right?" Five, I crouched down in front of Ji Gu Ai Fan, forcefully stabbed the sharp end of the shard into his chest, and then smiled brightly at him. "See you later, Ji Gu Ai Fan." Ji Gu Ai Fan's pupils dilated and fear and despair welled up from the depths of his eyes. In an instant, he stopped breathing. So satisfying, unstoppable.
Congratulations to the female lead for achieving a pentakill. "You country bumpkin, I will never admit that you are my fiance." I opened my eyes and saw Ji Gu Ai Fan, who was 9 years old, with an angry and flushed face. "People like you aren't even worthy of holding my shoes.
What right do you have to be my fiance?
I'm telling you, don't think that just because you saved me and my parents are protecting you, you will definitely marry me in the future. I'd rather marry a pig than you." Well, 9-year-old brother Ji, so cute. How could the female lead bear to do it?
Yeah, yeah, and he's still so young.
None of those previous harms have happened yet. He's just an adorable little boy now. Female lead, if you teach him well, he will definitely change for the better. "What are you staring at me for?" Ji Gu Ai Fan suddenly rushed over and pushed me hard.
"Don't you dare look at me like that."
My 9-year-old body was still too small and I was a bit unskilled. When I fell to the ground, I realized that my legs were covered in scars and there were bandages on the serious parts. I remembered the 9-year-old Ji Gu Ai Fan had a mischievous personality. He had a dispute with his father and mother because he didn't want me as his fiance.
He ran away from home at such a young age. As soon as he left the villa area, he was almost hit by a car. I rushed over and saved him, scraping my legs in the process. "Ran Ran, you have to remember that if you want to stay in this family, you have to make Gu Ai Fan like you. You are Gu Ai Fan's fiance. You should use everything you have to accompany him and protect him. This is the responsibility of a fiance. Gu Ai Fan's life was saved by your mother. That means your mother's life was exchanged for his. You don't want the person your mother risked her life to save to get hurt, do you?" Ji Gu Ai Fan's parents brainwashed me into everything for Ji Gu Ai Fan. So, even though I was extremely scared when the car came crashing towards us, I still chose to rush out and save Ji Gu Ai Fan, but he didn't appreciate it.
Just like now, he looked viciously at the injuries on my legs and raised his foot to kick me. "I don't care that you saved me. Even if you hadn't saved me, that person wouldn't have dared to hit me. I'm the young master of the Ji family." Before his kick landed on my wound, I got up and charged at him.
Coincidentally, there was a swimming pool right behind him.
Ji Gu Ai Fan fell into the water unexpectedly and opened his mouth to scold me. Ji Ran, you gurgle gurgle gurgle. Ji Gu Ai Fan didn't learn how to swim until he was 14 years old. He struggled in the water and called for help. His gaze gradually changed from anger to fear, but this time, no one would come to save him. I don't know how long it took. Ji Gu Ai Fan's body sank.
He was dead. I looked at the bullet comments still scrolling in the air.
Godlike.
Congratulations to the female lead for achieving a hexakill. Why are there so many people ahead? A gentle female voice that I hadn't heard for a long time sounded in my ear. I opened my eyes, carefully raised my head, and looked at the person. Short, neat hair that reached the ears, a thin and determined face, gentle eyes, and eyebrows that habitually carried a hint of sadness.
Mom, it was Mom. Finally, I finally saw Mom again. "Ran Ran, you wait here for Mom.
There's a big brother who fell into the water over there and Mom is going to save him." No, my heart started beating violently. I clung tightly to my mother's arm, almost wrapping myself around her with my hands and feet. "No, don't go. You'll die. Mom, don't go.
Don't leave me alone. We finally managed to live a good life. Don't leave me.
Don't." I cried heart-wrenchingly, my heart breaking, not caring about anything else. There was only one thought in my heart and eyes, and that was to stop my mother from saving Ji Gu Ai Fan. The one who deserved to die was never my mother. It was Ji Gu Ai Fan. Ji Gu Ai Fan was a jinx, a bad luck charm. Whoever got involved with him would be plagued by bad luck for a lifetime. "What's wrong, Ran Ran? Mom is here. Mom is okay. Don't cry. Don't cry." My mother crouched down and hugged me into her arms. "Ran Ran, don't scare Mom. Mom is fine. Mom won't go then." But my tears still wouldn't stop.
I had lost count of how many years it had been since I last saw my mother.
Ever since she died saving Ji Gu Ai Fan, there had been no glimmer of light in my life. I had struggled in the darkness named Ji Gu Ai Fan for so many years.
This was my 38th rebirth. I seemed to want to vent out all the grievances of the previous 40-something lifetimes. I actually cried myself into a faint in my mother's arms. This time, my mother didn't care about Ji Gu Ai Fan who had fallen into the water anymore.
She picked me up and rushed to the hospital. When I woke up again, my mother was by my side and on the TV, the news of the drowning death of the only son of the Ji family, the richest family in the area, was being broadcast. Ji Gu Ai Fan's parents were heartbroken by the river. Congratulations to the female lead. You have successfully achieved the feat of reversing your life. Next, please enjoy your own life to the fullest. The bullet comments disappeared. Ran Ran, when my mother noticed that I was awake, she quickly pressed the bell to call the doctor and then approached with red and swollen eyes. "How do you feel?" I held her hand, sniffed the unique smell of my mother on her body, and felt the warmth emanating from her. My heart was more at peace than ever before. "I feel extremely good." I wrapped my arms around her neck, as if holding a treasure that I had lost and found again. "Mom, I love you so much."
