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

Lin Qingxue tilted her head back, wanting to see the person's face clearly, rather than the back view that had appeared countless times in her dreams.

The room was just too dark.

Chen Jianji also lowered his head, his whole being like a shadow in the moonlight.

Vague and unreal.

In the past two days, Lin Qingxue has been unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.

But at the moment.

She gripped the man's arm with both hands, feeling the warmth of his skin against her fingertips.

She finally said the words she had been unable to utter to persuade him to stay.

There was no time to think, no time to rehearse.

It was rushed and urgent.

It's like someone who has been mute for too long has lost their voice.

But it is also the most intense and genuine.

Chen Jian stood in the shadows, his body stiff for a moment.

He seemed unable to believe that Lin Qingxue could say such a thing.

I felt the two hands gripping my arm tightly.

Chen Jianji slowly squatted down, his backpack hanging on his side with one hand, dangling to the ground.

Lin Qingxue's eyes followed his movements and slowly fell down.

I just kept staring at his face.

But it's still not clear.

She could only feel the other person's gaze, which was also fixed on her.

It was as if they were confirming something.

now.

Lin Qingxue knelt on the bed.

Chen Jianji squatted on the ground.

The two of them stared at each other, one tall and one short.

No one spoke again.

Chen Jianji did not agree.

Until I don't know how much time had passed.

Lin Qingxue's breathing became rapid, and her heaving body finally calmed down.

She lowered her head and leaned forward.

in the dark.

She gently rested her head on the man's forehead and swayed it gently from side to side.

A sudden action.

This caused Chen Jianji's pupils to constrict slightly.

In her previous life, she often did the same when she was playing around with Xiaotong.

"I remember now..."

You can scold me or hit me, it's all up to you.

"Could you...?"

"After I've dealt with the traffic police, can you take me back with you?"

"I don't want to be left here alone."

Lin Qingxue suppressed her emotions and spoke in a low voice.

She wanted to reach out and hug the person in front of her, to stop him from leaving.

But I don't know when my wrist was damaged.

He was grabbed by the back of his hand and couldn't move.

Chen Jianji still didn't reply, only after a long while.

He slowly opened his mouth, his voice filled with deep weariness.

"You are not her."

"She wouldn't say these things to me."

Suddenly.

Lin Qingxue paused, then suddenly looked up and met his gaze.

It was just for that instant when their foreheads parted.

Chen Jianji stood up, took a step back, and slowly released his grip.

"But you will eventually become her."

Lin Qingxue bit her lip hard, a metallic taste spreading from the corner of her mouth.

"Not even giving them one chance, just sentencing them to death?"

She said this, and then looked up.

"Wouldn't that be... a bit unfair?"

Even though the ward was dimly lit, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.

Chen Jianji could still see her pale yet stubborn face in his mind.

Lin Qingxue's voice continued, its broken, breathy tone carrying a strange, alluring quality that captivated the heart.

Chen Jianji turned around almost instantly, his back to her.

"You've changed a lot, and I believe you'll be even better off."

"But let's stop here."

Hearing this answer.

Lin Qingxue was still persistent and couldn't help but ask further.

Why?

Chan Kin-kei took a deep breath before speaking.

"It's my problem."

"I don't dare to gamble anymore, and I don't have the courage."

As he spoke, he adjusted his backpack and walked away.

This time.

The person behind him did not reach out to stop him again.

But when Chan Kin-kei reached the door and placed his hand on the doorknob, he stopped.

He applied slight pressure with his palm, and the room door opened.

Warm white light streamed into the corridor.

This made his silhouette even more blurred.

Chen Jianji opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Only one sentence was left.

"Practice driving diligently."

Done.

Chen Jianji took a step forward and stepped out of the ward.

Squeak.

The room door was slowly closed.

That glimmer of light was reflected in Lin Qingxue's eyes.

As the door closed, it slowly disappeared.

Until it goes out.

in the room.

She knelt in place like a statue.

The entire space fell into complete silence.

Even the sound of breathing seemed to stop at that moment.

...

Chen Jianji leaned against the wall next to the door of the ward.

He gripped the backpack strap tightly, then loosened his grip.

This cycle repeated itself for an unknown period of time.

He lowered his head, staring at the smooth floor tiles of the hospital corridor, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Lin Qingxue will not change.

If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't ignored her from the cafeteria onwards, and even spoken rudely to her...

She will continue to walk slowly, following the same steps she took in her previous life.

By now.

Chen Jianji's initial anger and despair upon seeing the diary subsided.

They finally began to face their marital problems.

Lin Qingxue only ever kept the ledger in her heart for everyone, including herself.

Everything else is more important than him and his family.

There was something between them.

It's no longer just a matter of one person or one event.

It's about mindset and values.

This is something that, at its core, cannot be changed.

In the early stages, you might be able to get along with someone based on enthusiasm and tolerance.

But later on, this gap will only deepen and become impossible to bridge.

Rather than that.

It would have been better to give up on the idea in the first place.

This is better for everyone.

Chen Jianji said to himself.

He slowly got up and finally walked away along the corridor.

Until we arrived at the hospital entrance.

Chen Jianji looked up at the sky.

In the distance, the morning sun, hidden in the clouds, was slowly rising, gradually revealing its colorful rays.

Beneath the clouds, dappled shadows of trees swayed and danced.

Under the ginkgo tree on the street, a girl waved and shouted loudly in this direction.

"What are you looking at? Go home!"
