Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

A wind carrying moisture blew around us.

The wind blew against their half-wet shoulders.

Chen Jianji didn't look at her, still staring at the asphalt ground in front of him, where water was constantly splashing.

Seeing his silence, Lin Qingxue knew she was right.

The two of them just stayed there quietly.

No one spoke again.

All around was the sound of rain continuing to fall, "splashing".

It wasn't until quite a while later.

Lin Qingxue then slowly spoke.

"I won't do that."

Chen Jianji's eyes flickered slightly.

Lin Qingxue's voice continued.

"Aside from personal emotional issues, I will take responsibility for what I am obligated to do, and I would never abandon my family for this reason."

These words were spoken.

Lin Qingxue could feel the already cool air pressure around her getting even colder.

She looked up.

Chen Jianji was already looking at her at some point.

His eyes held a mocking and cold glint.

Do you think you understand yourself very well?

Lin Qingxue met his gaze without backing down.

The meaning is obvious.

Chen Jianji looked into her clear yet stubborn eyes.

The hand gripping the umbrella handle tightened.

After a long while, his hoarse and deep voice rang out.

"Then what if I say..."

"He disappeared after you married me?"

"Can you still be so confident in yourself?"

The voice just fell.

A moment of astonishment flashed in Lin Qingxue's eyes.

She seemed to have never expected this situation.

A scene seemed to flash through my mind.

Hotel...wedding dressing room...bridal suite...

She saw herself dressed in red, her cheeks flushed.

I also saw Chen Jianji with the groom's bridal bouquet hanging on his chest, looking all smiles.

Guests gathered around, and cannons fired in unison.

All the images flashed by rapidly during the projection.

Until it stopped at a text message.

[Congratulations on the first snowfall of the lunar calendar.]

But don't forget, all your current happiness is built on my suffering.

...

Fragments of memory, like ink staining the scene, have cast a shadow over what was once a vibrant and lively atmosphere.

Lin Qingxue saw Ayan's parents waiting for news in their hometown.

She dared not say that Ah Yan's disappearance was because of her.

She saw herself still living her life in the same routine.

The guilt in my heart was temporarily suppressed until my daughter was born, and the family was filled with joy.

But every time the night is quiet, she curls up in bed.

Life is getting better and better.

She became increasingly panicked.

She kept replaying that message in her mind, along with the old sayings of the older generation in the village.

Sure enough, fate can't be that kind to people.

If... Ah Yan really has disappeared.

The scene changes again.

Two elderly people, almost entirely white-haired, came into Lin Qingxue's view.

They looked at themselves with kind smiles.

"Xiaoxue, you said last time that Ayan went abroad for further studies, it's been three years now, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Lin Qingxue's pupils contracted.

The screen suddenly went dark.

"Why aren't they back yet..."

That aged voice continued to echo in her ears.

Hey!

A soft sound.

Lin Qingxue suddenly came to her senses, her heart pounding as she gasped for breath.

The old man's gentle question had almost suffocated her.

Until things calmed down.

Lin Qingxue looked up.

They then realized that the two of them had somehow arrived at the bus stop.

There's a rain shelter here, so you won't get wet without an umbrella.

"You were spacing out just now, what were you thinking about?"

Chen Jianji held the folded umbrella in his hand and spoke in a detached voice.

Lin Qingxue stared blankly at his profile.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Peng!

Chen Jianji felt his arm being grabbed by a hand.

He slowly turned his head.

I saw Lin Qingxue's face, wet with rain.

Her eyes were cold and her voice was firm.

"No matter what happened to him."

"I might feel guilty, and I might find it hard to face."

"But I still don't believe that I would become estranged from my family and neglect my children because of this."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Jianji frowned, his expression gradually turning grim.

Lin Qingxue was stunned for a moment.

Only then did I belatedly realize that I had forgotten the sudden change in his demeanor when the child was mentioned on the mountain.

Lin Qingxue quickly released her grip and explained in a low voice.

"I think we...we must have had a misunderstanding in our dreams too."

Chen Jianji looked away and slowly sat down on the stone chair.

There's no misunderstanding; people change.

Lin Qingxue stood there, looking down at him quietly.

I tried to find a trace of a lie based on my familiarity with him.

Unfortunately.

not at all.

Lin Qingxue turned her body to face the asphalt road.

His eyes were deep and dark, and a strange anger shone on his pale face, which was being blown by the wind.

Ah Yan is still so immature.

At worst, we can just cut ties with her and never speak to her again, right?

Do you really want to feel guilty and drag your parents down with you?

This idea is so naive...

I think of those two elderly people with much more gray hair and wrinkles.

Lin Qingxue's expression grew increasingly grim.

His hands were clenched into fists, and his whole body was trembling.

She took several deep breaths.

After finally calming down,

He then turned and walked towards Chan Kin-kee.

Then she slowly squatted down in front of him.

Looking at the girl in front of me, half of her shoulder was wet, her hair was soaked by the rain, and some strands of her hair were sticking to her cheeks.

Chen Jianji was somewhat stunned, then frowned.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Qingxue looked up at him, gazed into his eyes, and said earnestly.

"I haven't thought of it yet, but think about it carefully, am I really like what you said?"

"What are you bringing up? I didn't agree to it!"

"What do you want to do that I won't support?"

Her voice was soft, and as she spoke, she gently grasped Chen Jianji's wrist.

"Don't think about it with anger. Calm down first, and then think about it carefully, okay?"
