Su Xiaofei had been following the younger version of her and Lu Qingfeng for days now, familiarizing herself with how different their lives were compared to what they had in their recent lifetime. If this young man was telling the truth, she might be able to find out why her husband was reborn twice.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
"Calm down. There's nothing to worry about, Mom! You aren't dead yet!" The young man exclaimed, catching Su Xiaofei off guard.
She whipped her head to look at him. She took a good look at him for a long moment.
"What did you just call me?" Su Xiaofei asked in disbelief.
"I don't believe that you've truly forgotten about me, Mom." The young handsome man smiled at her as he stood a couple of feet away from her.
"You..."
So she wasn't just overthinking things. Su Xiaofei thought. She really did know who this young man was, but who could he possibly be?
Wait. He called her mom. It only registered to her what he meant by that.
As she looked at him in disbelief, she couldn't stop the tears spilling from her eyes.
"It's you." She said in a broken voice. Tears well up in her eyes.
She'd never thought that her husband was a sickly child in their original timeline. Was this the reason why her husband imposed a strict health routine on himself?
"He hit you again, didn't he? Damn him. One of these days, I'll smack the hell out of your father." The young Lu Qingfeng frowned as he took in the girl's swollen face and bruised arms. "I told you to run away from him and stay with me instead. Why won't you consider it?"
"And then what? Allow my father to cause a scene and demand money from your family? No way! He's already accepting that I'm not asking you for money or anything. It will be bad if I move in with you." The young Su Xiaofei huffed, taking a seat by the root of the great tree.
"I can't wait to grow up. Once I turn eighteen, I can live on my own." The younger girl said. "It would be nice to see the metropolitan city and see the brightest stars in person."
The young Lu Qingfeng chuckled and wheeled his wheelchair near her.
"You still want to become an actress? They won't hire someone who walks like a yeti like you." He teased her, earning a pout from the young girl, who lightly slapped his arm in response.
"Who are you calling a yeti? Just wait and see! When I become a popular actress, you'll beg me to sign your butt!"
Su Xiaofei couldn't stop the smile spreading on her lips as she watched her younger self and Lu Qingfeng interact. It seemed to her that no matter what lifetime they were in, some things remained the same between them.
"Cities are huge places. Are you sure you want to live on your own when you grow up?" Young Lu Qingfeng asked her.
"Of course not. You'll be my Money Boss, right? You'll help me to settle down in a new place and get me my first gig." The girl beamed a smile at him.
"Sure, sure. Allow me to recover fully first and make a lot of money. However, you have to promise that you won't hug another thigh other than mine." Lu Qingfeng grinned.
It was only then did Su Xiaofei notice that she was younger than Lu Qingfeng in this lifetime. However, regardless of the lifetime she and Lu Qingfeng were in, she had always relied on him the most.
Seeing how deep her bond with her husband was, Su Xiaofei couldn't help but feel guilty for subjecting Lu Qingfeng to all those heartaches and hardships.
