1979: My fiancée is a goddess

"Wow~"

"Wow~"

She realized that she seemed to be slowly rising from the dark depths of the sea, with the sound of wet, salty waves echoing in her ears.

The deep, icy sea ice, strong enough to freeze the mind and consciousness, is slowly melting away.

As time went by, she could feel her frozen consciousness slowly returning to normal.

Then, the coldness was replaced by warmth and gentleness.

It's like coming from the deepest part of the Antarctic ice sheet, to a mountain stream in springtime, where petals float and flow, and then being thoroughly warmed by the sun.

This feeling was like when she was a child and performed a dance on stage at the kindergarten's New Year's Day performance. Because she was sick with a fever, her performance was full of mistakes, and the teachers and children laughed out loud.

It felt exactly the same as when I was alone, wiping away tears, as I came off the stage, only to stumble and fall, only to be caught and comforted by my mother in her arms.

Warm and soft, with a delicate and refreshing gardenia scent, it instantly evoked her memories of her innocent and naive childhood.

"It feels exactly the same as my mom's..."

She murmured softly, a faint, watery sadness and bitterness rising in her heart.

I long to run into my mother's arms and cry my heart out, just like when I was a child.

But she knew it was impossible.

because……

My mother passed away a few years ago, leaving me completely behind.

To her, this woman named Liu Xiaoli was both her mother, who gave birth to her, raised her, and depended on her for survival.

She is not only a gentle and patient teacher, but also a close and best friend.

They talked about everything, and were considerate and tolerant of each other.

No one ever treated her like that again.

Before leaving, the mother's biggest worry was still her daughter.

Because she was all alone in the world.

"I'm all that's left in this world, there's nothing left to miss. But... Mom, Sisi has come to see you now."

If Liu Yifei remembers correctly, she should be dead by now.

It wasn't due to any accidental car accident, plane crash, sudden death from staying up all night, or deliberate murder by a criminal...

She remembers that it was just an ordinary night. After arranging her announcements, endorsements, and schedule, she took a hot shower, wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and lay comfortably in bed to sleep.

After having a vague dream, he passed away peacefully and naturally without any illness or pain.

She remembered that in the older generation's parlance, this was called dying peacefully in one's sleep.

That is, one's wishes in this world have been fulfilled, and there are no more worries or attachments.

"Perhaps when the world realizes of my death, many people will mourn for me... But these things are not important to me at all. There are few people in this world who care about me and who care about me."

Liu Yifei sighed, shook her head, and put those past worries behind her.

Everything from her past life—whether it was debuting as a teenager, becoming the white moonlight of two generations, being called a celestial being, or accumulating wealth over the years…

All these mundane things vanished into useless ashes with the cool breeze that blew in through the window that night.

All that remained was her naked soul.

Perhaps this is the ultimate secret of life.

"Souls, so is this the underworld or heaven?"

Liu Yifei suddenly became curious about where she was now, and whether it was as people were saying.
The underworld, hell, heaven...

If this really is...

So... so mother?
Will she retain her consciousness like I do?
Will she still wait for him quietly somewhere, just like she did when he was a child, and give him a gentle and reassuring hug?
"Yes, Mom will definitely wait for me and look forward to our reunion."

Liu Yifei murmured softly, and then an impulse arose in her heart.

She really wanted to see what this place was like.

Think about this.

Liu Yifei then realized that she seemed to have kept her eyes closed the whole time.

She tried to open her eyes.

But her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them no matter how hard she tried, as if she didn't have eyes at all.

"Don't ghosts have eyes?"

After careful consideration, Liu Yifei realized that she might be trapped in a cognitive bias.

Ghosts are ultimately just remnants of consciousness; how could they have eyes like a physical body in the material world?

Perhaps soon, this consciousness will also dissipate like a rootless duckweed.

Realizing this, Liu Yifei felt a pang of anxiety.

It's not because I'm afraid of my own dissipation.

But she still wanted to see her mother again, even if it was just a faint hope of seeing her once more.

She also longed to see her mother's gentle smile again, to hear her mother's soft and melodious voice, and to smell the delicate fragrance of gardenias emanating from her mother...

"Hiss—Ahhh!"

Suddenly, Liu Yifei felt a jolt in her soul, and waves of pain, as if she were being squeezed and ravaged, swept over her entire body.

She felt as if she were being squeezed and ravaged, as if she were being forcibly shoved into a narrow passage by a pair of invisible hands, or as if she were being swept into an invisible vortex.

The pain was intense, and I felt dizzy.

I don’t know how long it took.

Liu Yifei vaguely felt the tail of her consciousness finally and silently pass through a thin membrane.

My soul trembled slightly, a feeling that lasted only a moment.

It felt like returning to the eternal home of her soul, giving her a sense of peace and groundedness.

It was as if this was where she was meant to be, her soul's home. "Could it be that we've arrived at our destination?"

As Liu Yifei thought this, she gradually felt nervous and uneasy, and also looked forward to seeing her mother.

I don't know how much time passed, but my familiar five senses began to gradually connect.

First comes hearing.

"Dong Dong~"

"Dong Dong~"

A series of faint, rhythmic sounds came, like someone tapping a small drum in your ear.

Is this a welcome to new souls?

Liu Yifei thought to herself, "But it doesn't seem like it. Maybe it's a heartbeat?"

The next moment, a blurred visual link.

Although she still couldn't open her eyes, she could vaguely perceive her surroundings through a thin barrier.

The space before me was dark and narrow, shaped like a cave. The cave walls were faintly translucent red, like flesh and blood, with tiny folds scattered around. The entire cave seemed to be alive, gently undulating.

"How terrifying... Where am I?"

Liu Yifei shivered, somewhat frightened: "It feels like I've entered a den of demons."

She continued to sense everything around her. Not far from her, there was a small, oval-shaped sphere floating in the air. Inside it, something seemed to be moving around, as if it had a life of its own.

"What is this? It can actually float in the air? No... it's not in the air, it seems to be some kind of liquid?"

"Wait... this looks like amniotic fluid?"

As the information gradually came together, when she finally saw the tiny life inside, it was as if a lightning bolt had struck her heart, leaving her stunned on the spot.

"Hoo hoo...that seems to be a developing baby?"

Liu Yifei took a deep breath and muttered incredulously to herself, "Then...then wouldn't I be..."

The overwhelming sense of bewilderment and the slight thrill of a chance to survive left her mentally blank, her thoughts in turmoil.

After an unknown amount of time, a baby floated over from not far away.

It adhered to her through a thin membrane.

She could clearly feel the other person's delicate, fragile little hands and feet kicking and dancing joyfully.

It seems like the other party is welcoming me?

At the same time, she also felt a sense of kinship.

Liu Yifei snapped back to reality, her senses focusing on herself.

She sensed that her body was even smaller than the baby opposite her, her body fragile and curled up, her arms and legs thin with bluish veins showing through. She couldn't help but murmur in disbelief:
"Could I have been reborn? Reborn as a baby still in its mother's womb? And a twin at that?"

This conjecture gradually came to fruition as she reflected upon and observed.

"But if I were really reborn, what would this world be like?"

"Fantasy, supernatural, xianxia (Chinese fantasy), or perhaps modern urban fantasy?"

Liu Yifei recalled the online novels she had read in her spare time, and the bizarre and fantastical worlds in those stories aroused her great curiosity.

But then she thought, what's more important to her right now is...

Sadly, I probably will never see my mother again.

What kind of people will the mother and father be in this life?
Liu Yifei's mood sombered again, and she thought sadly.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a loud, somewhat indistinct sound came to my ears.

The baby in front of me, who was almost twice my size, seemed to be frightened by the sound. It curled up pitifully and hid its little head in my arms.

It looks like they're setting off firecrackers outside.

Liu Yifei thought to herself.

Firecrackers were relatively familiar to her; this world should not be too different from her previous life, which gave her a greater sense of security.

"But she's so timid, she got scared so easily."

Liu Yifei has already observed carefully and confirmed that the baby opposite is a girl.

My mood improved a little.

As the sound of firecrackers subsided, the sound of a door opening came from nearby.

Then came a muffled voice, which seemed to be a man's voice.

"Get up and eat, Xiaoli!"

"Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and we're all going to make dumplings together."

"Wait! Xiaoli?!"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened suddenly, and then she felt a shaking sensation as if the world was shaking. She bumped into the baby in front of her, who she didn't know was her younger brother or sister, and was immediately dizzy.

"Hmm~~ Kaiyan, bring it in, it's so cold outside, I can't get up~"

In her hazy state, she heard a familiar voice etched deep in her heart.

She remains as gentle and serene as ever.

However, compared to what she remembered.

It has more of the crisp, lovely, soft, and sweet quality that belongs to young girls, sounding more like a girl playfully teasing her lover.

"Phew... Is that you, Mom?!"

Silent tears fell from her heart. At this moment, the initial sadness, confusion, and helplessness of arriving in the city were gone.

She is not alone in this world.

She also has her mother.

My mother must have come into this world first, just to wait for me, right? (End of Chapter)
