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

Chen Jianji stood there, stunned.

"It was dangerous to drive this vehicle up the mountain road, so we parked it on flat ground here."

"That vehicle isn't here anymore. We came down the mountain road late, so the two drivers who delivered the goods probably already drove it away."

Warm breaths mixed with sounds kept ringing in my ears.

Chen Jian stood there for a long while before slowly speaking, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"When I bought this car, it only cost 17,000 including maintenance."

Lin Qingxue leaned lazily against him, as if she had finally run out of strength.

"Buy two years in advance, the year will be different."

"And the car dealer, seeing that I was in a hurry, didn't offer me much of a discount."

Chen Jianji's voice was devoid of emotion.

"Do the cart drivers who haul goods also raise their prices if you're in a hurry?"

Lin Qingxue remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly a little embarrassed, but still nodded in agreement.

"Um..."

I have no experience in buying things.

Chen Jianji suddenly asked again.

"So now that you're out of money, aren't you going to save it to lend to that Li family?"

"I remember you only received your bonuses after you had paid your tuition fees."

He paused, then added something ambiguous.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't give up those things for me?"

Lin Qingxue remained silent, holding the key in her hand and gently rubbing the teeth marks she had just left.

He spoke after a long pause.

"As I said, nothing else matters."

"You only need to know the important sentence."

Which sentence?

Chen Jianji asked subconsciously.

But the words had barely left his mouth when...

He remained silent.

That sentence.

He heard it the night before he left.

I had a sleepless night.

Just as Chen Jianji was in a daze.

He was suddenly poked on the shoulder.

"Could we get into the car to take shelter from the rain?"

"I have clean clothes in my bag that I can change into."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Jianji tightened his grip on the person behind him.

Then he slowly stepped forward, his footsteps creating splashes of water.

......

In the car.

The key is already inserted into the lock cylinder, and the vehicle has been started.

The engine hummed, and hot air was billowing from the air conditioning vents.

The passenger window was slightly ajar, letting in a light splash of rain, not much.

After Chen Jianji finished doing all this, he got up from the driver's seat, bent over and walked over the armrest to the back seat.

"This way the air circulates better, and it won't feel stuffy when the heating is on."

"This car has a full tank of gas; it should last until the rain stops."

At this moment, Lin Qingxue was sitting on the other side of the back seat.

As she explained, she unzipped her backpack and took out a set of clothes.

She thought for a moment and handed it over.

"You're wearing this?"

Chen Jianji looked at her slightly damp hair, then lowered his head.

I looked at the white T-shirt and black trousers in her hand.

Chen Jianji raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lin Qingxue's backpack.

"Don't we have school uniforms?"

As he spoke, he reached out and took it.

"Turn around."

Lin Qingxue gave him a deep look, and when she turned back, she couldn't help but say something.

"Then remember to pay me back."

Chen Jianji ignored her and quickly changed his clothes.

It fits quite well.

He glanced down at it.

Wait, isn't that his own school uniform?!

Chen Jianji was somewhat surprised, but looked up at the other side.

"Why haven't you changed yet?"

Lin Qingxue had her back to him, hugging her schoolbag tightly, her voice still very low.

"You turn around too."

"oh..."

Chen Jianji turned his head to look out the car window.

Raindrops continued to patter against the car window, making a crackling sound.

Water streamed down the window, making the view increasingly blurry.

Chen Jianji watched for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Is this beat-up car worth it?"

"The same style is available in our county, so it's a waste of thousands of yuan in shipping fees."

at this time.

Lin Qingxue, on the other side of the back seat, had also changed into dry clothes.

I just took out a towel and started drying my hair.

Upon hearing this, she paused slightly in her work, but continued wiping.

"This is the only one you'll want."

"If you take it, it's worth it."

Upon hearing this answer...

Chen Jianji smiled silently.

"Oh..."

He placed his hand on the car window.

That familiar texture.

This gave him the first real sense of overlapping with his previous life.

Chen Jianji didn't say anything more, nor did he turn around.

He was patted on the shoulder.

Chen Jianji slowly turned around.

Lin Qingxue raised the steam eye mask she had taken out.

"Do you want to take a nap first? I'll wake you up when the rain stops."

Chen Jianji looked at her.

Inside the car, soft lights were on the roof, and the heating was on, but it wasn't stuffy.

My clothes are dry, so I can sleep comfortably.

really.

No matter where.

Lin Qingxue was able to arrange it like a home.

Chen Jianji did not move.

Lin Qingxue stared at him for a long while.

Only then did he slowly get up and move over, putting the steam eye mask on the other person.

"Go to sleep, you didn't sleep at all last night."

Chen Jianji countered with a question.

"You're not asleep either?"

"I was asleep, but I woke up because it was hot and I couldn't fall back asleep since I had to finish my shift today."

"oh..."

Chen Jianji didn't explain anything; in any case, everything was already pitch black.

You can't see anything, so it won't be awkward.

He stretched out his body, leaned back in his chair, and was about to rest for a while.

But not long after.

My right shoulder sank.

Chen Jianji paused.

He didn't say a word.

Inside the car, the two of them quietly closed their eyes.

Until the breathing gradually became even and gentle, echoing softly in the car.

......

I don't know how much time has passed.

Chen Jianji removed his blindfold.

He looked at the darkening sky.

The rain has stopped, and the night sky is now sparkling.

Chen Jianji looked at the person who was still sleeping soundly to his right.

The corners of her mouth curved slightly, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Chen Jianji did not wake Lin Qingxue.

He looked at the steering wheel in the driver's seat.

This car had been with him for many years in his previous life.

Even after he made money, he still couldn't bear to replace it.

Just like his father-in-law's feelings towards that motorcycle.

He also cherishes the past.

Chen Jianji couldn't help but sigh softly.

He'd like to drive, but he doesn't have a driver's license yet.

It's still hundreds of kilometers from home.

How do I drive home?

Tsk.

It will cost another sum of money to ship it back.

Chen Jianji couldn't help but say it again.

"A waste of money."

But after he finished speaking...

The person next to them had already woken up at some point.

She sat up straight and looked at him calmly and earnestly, asking him a question.

"Do you want it or not?"

Chen Jianji also looked at her, but quickly looked away and rubbed his slightly sore arm.

"I'll pay you back later, consider it my payment."

Lin Qingxue's eyes flickered, but she did not refuse; she simply nodded.

"Anything is fine."

She has also become more concise in her speech.

Chen Jianji chuckled and looked out the window again.

A light flashed in the depths of the sky.

Chen Jianji stared for a while before finally speaking slowly.

"There was a shooting star in the sky."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Qingxue moved closer and looked out the car window.

Until I saw the light flashing as it slowly moved through the clouds.

She finally couldn't help but laugh.

"The one flying that slowly is an airplane, not a shooting star."

Chen Jianji looked down at the cheek leaning towards him.

That smile.

Chen Jianji has almost never seen it.

So she can laugh like that too.

Lin Qingxue was still staring at the passenger plane slowly passing through the sky.

This time, it seemed she had put down all the messy burdens on her shoulders and stayed in the car with this person.

I felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

Even just watching an ordinary airplane together.

All of this made her extremely happy.

Perhaps that's why he never yelled at me again after I got on the bus.

so...

Have they made up?

Thinking of this, Lin Qingxue slowly raised her eyes to look at Chen Jianji.

I just looked up.

He then noticed that the other person had been staring at him the whole time.

Lin Qingxue was stunned for a moment.

"you..."

Before she could finish speaking...

Chen Jianji leaned back in his seat, gazing intently at the night sky outside the car window.

After a long while, he chuckled softly.

"Yes, it wasn't a shooting star."

......
