After the two thugs left, the area downstairs finally returned to peace and quiet.

A gentle evening breeze caused the leaves of the trees along the roadside to sway softly.

Gu Jia clutched the hem of her clothes, her expression still complex.

More than 50,000 yuan is no small sum.

Lin Yuan had just settled her debts without hesitation, and this kindness weighed heavily on her heart.

She raised her head, looked at Lin Yuan earnestly, and spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Dr. Lin, I will definitely pay you back this money."

"I will save up slowly and pay it off as soon as possible."

Looking at her earnest and stubborn expression, Lin Yuan felt a warmth in his heart, smiled and nodded gently, without refusing.

He is very clear.

The two are currently just ordinary doctor and patient, not exactly close.

If he insists that the money doesn't need to be repaid and is simply waived, it would be too deliberate.

It will only make Gu Jia feel more guilty, more awkward, and even afraid to face him again.

Let things take their natural course; that's the best way to get along.

"No rush."

Lin Yuan spoke gently and calmly.

"You can pay me back whenever it's convenient for you. I don't need the money."

After saying that, a hint of doubt quietly rose in Lin Yuan's heart.

Based on his understanding of Gu Jia from his previous life.

She lives a very disciplined life, with a regular schedule, and doesn't like to compare herself to others or spend money recklessly.

They are very frugal with their money and rarely have large expenses.

Logically speaking, she should never have incurred debts.

It's even less likely that they would seek out loan sharks to borrow money.

This is completely out of character for her.

What kind of trouble forced her to borrow 50,000 yuan at exorbitant interest rates?

Lin Yuan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked softly.

"Gu Jia, are you having some kind of trouble?"

"Why did you borrow so much money?"

Upon hearing the question, Gu Jia's eyes dimmed slightly.

She never wanted to mention this to outsiders.

It was buried deep in my heart, suppressed for a long time.

But tonight, Lin Yuan just solved her biggest problem and shielded her from all the embarrassment.

If one simply avoids the topic, it would be too inhumane.

After a moment of silence, Gu Jia gently raised her head and looked towards the quiet, tree-lined path deep within the residential area.

"Dr. Lin, would you like to take a walk with me?"

"it is good."

Lin Yuan didn't ask any further questions and nodded in response.

The two did not go upstairs, but walked slowly side by side along the quiet path in the community.

The streetlights cast long shadows of the two people.

The journey was quiet and peaceful, with only the gentle evening breeze blowing by.

After walking a short distance, Gu Jia finally spoke softly, her voice low and filled with a sense of bewilderment and bitterness.

"Dr. Lin, do you believe in fate?"

The unexpected question startled Lin Yuan slightly.

He had no idea that Gu Jia would suddenly ask this.

After a moment, his eyes hardened, and he answered earnestly.

I believe you.

His rebirth and transcendence of reincarnation is the greatest destiny he could have.

If one does not believe in fate, then there is no such thing as destiny in this world.

Hearing his confident answer, Gu Jia gave a soft, bitter smile.

Hidden behind her smile were untold regrets and sorrows.

"hehe……"

"I have a friend."

She paused, her voice lowering slightly, as if recounting a long-forgotten dream.

"You might not believe it, but his name is exactly the same as yours."

"Also called Lin Yuan."

"Isn't that a coincidence?"

This moment.

Lin Yuan's face remained calm and expressionless.

He simply raised his eyes quietly and listened attentively as she continued her story.

But only he himself knew.

Deep within his chest, his heart trembled violently.

A gentle evening breeze carried the faint coolness of the grass and trees as the two strolled slowly along the tree-lined path.

Gu Jia lowered her eyes, her voice light and airy, like a bygone era that could not be grasped, and slowly continued speaking.

"I used to be colleagues with Lin Yuan, who shares your name, at the same company, Lantian Technology."

"He's incredibly talented. He's down-to-earth and intelligent. He became a senior engineer at a young age, and everyone in the department praises him."

"Back then, we were very close. We would meet up for dinner after get off work, and on weekends we would go shopping and watch movies. We got along very well."

When talking about those small, tender moments from the past, Gu Jia's tone softened a bit, but it didn't last long before it gradually faded away.

She gripped the strap of her handbag tightly with her fingertips, her throat tightening slightly.

"I've liked him for a long time, but I've kept it to myself and never dared to say it."

"Later, I mustered up my courage and went to the flower shop to pick out a bouquet of red roses. I made up my mind to confess my feelings to him that night."

"But... Waaaaah..."

At this point, Gu Jia's words suddenly stopped, and she could no longer continue.

The grievances and sorrows that had accumulated over countless days and nights could no longer be contained, and two warm tears rolled down her cheeks without warning.

Large teardrops fell onto the back of my hand, leaving it icy cold.

That unspoken feeling hidden deep in her heart was a knot in her heart that she couldn't overcome.

Thinking about the regrets of the past makes my heart feel like it's being crushed by a huge rock, and I can't breathe because of the pain.

Seeing her tearful and heartbroken appearance, Lin Yuan's heart also clenched, and a wave of bitterness washed over him.

The scene of the car accident in his previous life flashed through his mind instantly.

Before the incident, he did receive a message from Gu Jia. The message was gentle, saying that she had a surprise for him that night and that he must wait for her.

Afterwards, he was resurrected in another body, but he could never figure out what that surprise was all about, and a vague question remained in his mind.

Hearing Gu Jia's explanation, Lin Yuan instantly understood everything.

It turned out that the surprise she had been preparing for so long was the bouquet of roses she had used to confess her love.

That day, she was filled with joy and ready to embark on a journey of mutual affection, but he was involved in a car accident on the way and never got to hear that confession.

A crush that was never even expressed turned into a regret that could never be made up for in a lifetime.

Lin Yuan looked at the girl beside him who was silently shedding tears. His throat tightened, and a thousand words were stuck in his chest, but he couldn't say a word.

Through countless cycles of reincarnation and the cruel twists of fate, we have wronged her far too much.
