Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

He Ziyu knew Jiang Chengyu too well; he knew that Jiang Chengyu must have been puzzled for a long time before bringing up this topic today, and he couldn't help but say it.

After all, the connection of memories is different from dreaming. The former is more real and gives you a sense of being there. Just like every time he dreams that he is in a sea of ​​fire, the intense pain and helplessness have long since transcended the dream itself. It is like a thorn deeply embedded in his memory, which cannot be erased.

Jiang Chengyu must have experienced a sense of reality that she had never felt in her dreams, which is why she subtly brought these things up to him.

"You should be able to tell that I've been avoiding this topic before. On the one hand, I felt that rebirth was unrealistic, and even if I presented a lot of evidence, people who hadn't actually experienced it would still have doubts."

"On the other hand, our past lives were filled with more suffering than happiness. Knowing those unpleasant things is nothing but suffering and has no meaning whatsoever."

"So I choose to hide it, to pretend it doesn't exist."

"But sometimes fate likes to play tricks on people. Even though I was reborn, I passed on my past life memories to you through dreams..."

"Don't you think this is unnecessary?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyu remained silent for a moment.

Then slowly slow down the car and pull over to the side of the road.

"I think it's very meaningful," Jiang Chengyu said, looking into his eyes. "Because I dreamed about those things, I know that our love is not accidental."

"Because I dreamed about those things, I know that the feelings between us have transcended life and death, and are not just empty words."

"Because I dreamed about those things, I know how much suffering you went through in your past life, how much you needed to be cared for, and I also know where your love for me came from and where it will go."

"So this isn't superfluous; it's God's way of bringing us closer together."

Jiang Chengyu grasped He Ziyu's hand, something flickering slightly in his eyes.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, and He Ziyu tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth, but he still couldn't help but tear up.

"So you were lying to me when you said you dreamt my face was pixelated, right?"

"..."

"And those two people, you saw who they were, right?"

"..."

He Ziyu raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye, turned his head away, and muttered softly, "Idiot."

Even after all these years, Jiang Chengyu still unconsciously puts his feelings first, as if he has long regarded it as a habit ingrained in his blood.

And this is precisely the level he can never reach, no matter how hard he tries.

"Let bygones be bygones. At least we've been together in this life, and there are still many decades to go." Jiang Chengyu pinched He Ziyu's chin with two fingers, turning his face back. "As long as our hearts can stay together, this life is worthwhile."

He Ziyu stared at Jiang Chengyu for a few seconds, then suddenly unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over, hooked his arms around Jiang's neck, and kissed him.

On a bustling street, two people embrace, a reunion that transcends past and present lives.

At this moment, He Ziyu and Jiang Chengyu's world consisted only of each other.

……

Moon City time, 2 PM on the 8th.

Zhou Ying's rapid-fire calls woke up He Ziyu and Jiang Chengyu, who were still fast asleep.

He Ziyu groggily reached for his phone, and as soon as he pressed the answer button, he heard Zhou Ying's excited voice coming through the receiver.

"Ah Yu, are you all ready?"

"Hmm? What are you preparing?"

He Ziyu, who was not fully awake, asked a question casually, which immediately ignited the fuse of Zhou Ying's rambling.

"What preparations? It's the wedding, of course! You don't sound asleep, do you? My little darling, is Chengyu next to you? Give him the phone, I'll talk to him..."

Without thinking, He Ziyu stretched his hand to the side. After a while, he remembered that Jiang Chengyu was also asleep, so he put the phone to his ear again.

"Mom, he's sleeping. Tell me what's wrong."

"Why is he sleeping too? What did you two do last night?"

"The two of us..." He Ziyu paused, realizing that his mother might be having wild thoughts, and quickly struggled to sit up, "The two of us went to see a movie last night."

"Why did you have to watch the movie the day before the wedding...?"

"Mom, it's only a little past eight." He Ziyu yawned, a hint of despair creeping in as he looked at the time. "The wedding hall doesn't open until eleven, so there's no point in us going too early."

"Then at least get up and tidy yourself up, take a picture and send it to me so I can see. Also, did you bring all your documents?"

"The documents were submitted yesterday, so I can just go there today."

After patiently explaining to Zhou Ying, He Ziyu hung up the phone and couldn't fall asleep anymore.

He woke up Jiang Chengyu, who was still sleeping next to him, and said that he was a little hungry.

"Didn't you eat enough yesterday?" Jiang Chengyu asked lazily, his voice slightly husky and sexy because he had just woken up.

"What did I eat? I only had a baked rice dish last night, not even as much as you..." He Ziyu suddenly froze halfway through his sentence, his face turning bright red.

This guy even used a double entendre with him!

He Ziyu jumped off the soft bed, stretched, and prepared to take a shower.

"After I finish showering, you must have some delicious food and drinks laid out in front of me, or you can go and get your marriage certificate yourself."

"Um……"

Jiang Chengyu smiled and watched He Ziyu walk into the bathroom.

……

The couple started preparing for today's wedding well in advance. Fortunately, the final appointment time for registering their marriage was on the same day as the Old Brick Wall Karaoke Club, which meant that they could complete the formalities during the day and go out to have fun in the evening.

During his stay in Copenhagen, He Ziyu not only visited some tourist attractions, but also secretly studied a lot about old brick walls in order to avoid being turned away on this day and ending up only able to look at Jiang Chengyu from afar.

After taking a shower, He Ziyu wrapped himself in a towel, casually dried his hair, and returned to the living room.

Jiang Chengyu had already bought breakfast and returned. There were many things he liked to eat on the table, especially the grilled sausages from the convenience store downstairs, which were sizzling with oil. He Ziyu only took one look before rushing over to them like a hungry wolf.

"I was just saying it casually, and you actually went down and bought it?"

"Every word you've said to me is important." Jiang Chengyu handed the heated milk to He Ziyu. "My mom told me to keep an eye on you and make sure you get enough nutrition. She said you're so thin you're practically skin and bones. If you don't gain weight when you get back, she'll probably call me in for a talk."

He Ziyu held a milk in his left hand and a grilled sausage in his right, raising an eyebrow.

"I weigh over 110 pounds, how can I be skin and bones? It's just that I look thinner when I'm wearing clothes."

After chatting and eating breakfast, Jiang Chengyu went to take a shower. At 10 a.m., the two put on the suits they had prepared in advance and prepared to video report to Zhou Ying.

"Hey, wait a minute." He Ziyu suddenly remembered something and called out to Jiang Chengyu, "Could you bring me the small blue checkered bag from the bathroom?"

Jiang Chengyu put down her phone, turned around, and went into the bathroom.

After receiving the small blue bag, He Ziyu opened it and took out several things that Jiang Chengyu couldn't understand.

"These are..."

"The cosmetics, Xiao Jing packed them for me before I left."

"How could Xiao Jing have something like this?"

"He's a sports star now, a public figure, and he's still following the idol route, so it's normal for him to wear makeup for the camera." He Ziyu said, opening a small round box and splashing the foam-like substance inside on Jiang Chengyu's face.

Seeing how enthusiastically he was using him as a practice subject, Jiang Chengyu couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure your skills are up to par?"

"Hey, you look down on me, huh?" He Ziyu raised an eyebrow. "Although I haven't eaten much pork, I've seen pigs run, especially back in college. The girls in my class put on makeup every day, so I've learned how to do it by watching."

Under He Ziyu's meticulous guidance, Jiang Chengyu indeed became more energetic and spirited than before.

"What should we do? Won't you get kidnapped if you go out like this?" He Ziyu cupped Jiang Chengyu's face in his hands, looking at him from left to right, liking him no matter how he looked at him.

He thought Jiang Chengyu was handsome when he was in high school, but back then Jiang Chengyu still had a bit of a childishness, unlike now, when he has become more and more mature and has completely evolved from a "handsome young man" to a "handsome young man".

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Jiang Chengyu pinched He Ziyu's nose and shook it gently. "You got more than twice as many love letters as I did in college, and you even had someone bring you milk tea every day."

"Isn't it because I seem easier to get along with? Unlike you, you always have that stern face like a teacher..."

"I just don't want them to have too many thoughts about me."

After finishing with Jiang Chengyu, He Ziyu started working on himself. Once they were both done, they finally video-called Zhou Ying.

"Mom, we're ready."

"Great, great, really good..." Zhou Ying grinned from ear to ear as she saw the two people in the video, all ready to go. "By the way, Cheng Yu, look who's here!"

The camera then shifts to Shen Murou.

"Mom?" Jiang Chengyu was a little surprised, not expecting to see his mother here.

Shen Murou greeted them with a smile and said, "I'm here today to accompany Ayu's mother shopping. She said she wants to help you look at couple rings and things like that."

Zhou Ying added from the side, "When it comes to jewelry, we women definitely know better. Cheng Yu's mother and I will pick some out and send them to you!"

Seeing his mother's enthusiasm, He Ziyu didn't refuse and even asked her to pick out some couple watches, necklaces, brooches, and the like.

After hanging up the video call, Jiang Chengyu asked He Ziyu, "Aren't you tired having Mom shop for so many things all at once?"

Upon hearing this, He Ziyu gave him a look that said, "You don't understand."

"I'm not afraid of her being tired, I'm afraid of her not being tired."

"My mom is different from your mom. She has always been a housewife, and her life revolves around her husband and son. She only finds a sense of value in taking care of us."

"So I hope she will always feel that her son needs her."

In his previous life, his mother left early, leaving a lingering pain in He Ziyu's heart.

Now he only hopes that his mother can be happy and leave all her worries until he turns fifteen.

……

At 10:30, the two left the short-term rental apartment and headed to the city hall.
