Rebirth caused a scandal, but accidentally saved Bai Yueguang

Chapter 66: Lovers finally get married (5k chapters)

Xu Zhe'an reacted and put the letters he had read back into his schoolbag. He took the fifth letter in his hand and walked towards the intersection.

He stopped a taxi and told Jiang Yun his destination before he replied with an OK.

He leaned back in the back seat and opened the last letter. Just holding it in his hand he could feel that it was thicker than the previous ones.

There was a big heart on the candy wrapper, followed by a note and two new pieces of letter paper.

The note contained only two sentences:

[Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, since you've always been proactive. Let me be the one to confess.]
The driver was a female master. She saw Xu Zhe'an's unstoppable smile through the rearview mirror above the driver's seat and was infected by it.

Although I don’t know why I’m happy, but after working hard for a long time, when I see someone with a smile on their face, my mood will involuntarily relax a lot.

Xu Zhe'an slowly unfolded the letter. Jiang Yun's inner journey was already 90% complete. Only these words remained in his hands, and driven by curiosity, he began to read them carefully.

See Xinan (5):
This is a letter written by 18-year-old Jiang Yun to Xu Zhe'an. Thank you and your uncle and aunt for the carefully prepared birthday party. I am very happy and satisfied.

On May 5th, we began to connect because of an unexpected event. Equally unexpected was me, and your offer to take me back to your home.

After hearing this, I felt a brief burst of joy, but then I was struggling.

It's not a struggle between shyness and caring about reputation. I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself, won't be able to suppress my love, and do something "frivolous" to you.

(It turns out that there really isn't, haha.)
Although I had liked you for a long time, my heart belonged to you completely after you helped me solve the house issue.

(I always said I'd wait a while for two reasons: one was the house issue, and the other was that I wasn't sure what my future would be like, and I didn't want to be a burden to you.)
Looking back on those days, I find them truly unforgettable. I did so many "bad things" without telling you, and you still don't know about them.

For example, I never sleep when you take a nap. Instead, I sit next to you, whisper to you, look at your face, and wipe the sweat off your face.

Luckily, you sleep soundly and never open your eyes. Otherwise, how would I explain it to you if I caught you?

And I am only bold in my mind, but actually I am quite thin-skinned. If I really encounter such a situation, I will probably be embarrassed to death.

hee hee~
I used to think that my 18th birthday would be ordinary. How could those warm and romantic scenes mentioned in novels happen to me?

But what happened? It actually happened right before my eyes. All of this is because I met you, the best Xu Zhe'an in the world.

My birthday wish is:
Become a better person and be with Xu Zhe'an forever.

(A bit greedy.)
2013 5 Month 18 Day.

-

(This supplementary paragraph is of utmost importance. You must read it in its entirety on the evening of June 6th.)
Your kindness is so great that I don’t know how to repay it. I have nothing... I really can’t think of a way.

Today's confession is that I want to express my feelings to you, and it is definitely not an attempt to escape the repayment I owe you.

Whether you agree or not, I can accept it.

After all, paying back debts is a natural thing. You may like someone, but it cannot be used as a shackle to make you feel that everything you pay is your due.

I remember you once told me: Love is always a feeling of indebtedness. I refuted you then, but now I deeply understand it.

What I can be sure of is that you will come to find me when you see this.

But I have a condition. You have to sign your name on the bill at the back. There are pens and ink pads in your backpack. I have to see these things before I can accept the next step in our relationship.

When Xu Zhe'an saw this, he hurriedly turned the letter over and his smile faded. Every expense and corresponding matter on it was very detailed.

Things had come to this point, so he had no choice but to agree. He signed his name and put his fingerprint on it, then took a photo and sent it to Jiang Yun.

……

In front of Xuefu Road Kindergarten.

Jiang Yun saw Xu Zhe'an's message and replied "OK." Then she returned to her previous state, her eyes fixed on the small classroom.

The kindergarten has been renovated over the past decade or so, but due to its location, it cannot be expanded, so the buildings and facilities are replaced every year.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but never fell. In her blurred vision, it was as if she had returned to that time...

It was pouring rain and a crying little girl met a kind little boy who came to her with five candies in his hand and comforted her.

She folded her arms in the shade of the tree, letting the midday breeze lift her hair on the sides and the hem of her skirt at her ankles.

……

When the car drove into Xuefu Road, Xu Zhe'an had already packed all his things into his schoolbag.

He had been waiting for this day, from his past life to this one, and it was a torment and agony. The closer he got to his destination, the faster his heartbeat grew, and he kept taking deep breaths and exhaling.

"Young man, are you feeling unwell?"

The female driver noticed that something was wrong with Xu Zhe'an, so she slowed down the car and asked anxiously.

"Auntie, I'm fine."

Xu Zhe'an waved his hand and smiled.

"Just a little nervous."

The female master felt a little uneasy when she heard this answer.

"Why are you so nervous in broad daylight?"

Xu Zhe'an exhaled again, his nervousness swept away, and he answered confidently:

"Go meet someone you like."

The driver laughed out loud when he heard it.

"Understand, understand."

She felt relieved and returned to her normal speed.

Five minutes later, Xu Zhe'an saw Jiang Yun standing there blankly with her back to the road through the car window.

Because parking is prohibited in front of the kindergarten, the driver could only drop him off at the nearest intersection, which was a hundred meters away.

After the car stopped, he paid the bill, picked up his things and went out.

But then he remembered one thing... he forgot to prepare flowers and was only busy reading letters on the way.

He thought about it carefully and realized that the nearby flower shops were a bit far away and it would definitely take a long time to go there now.

As I looked around, my phone rang. I looked down and saw:
[Jiang]: Don’t you want to come over? I can see you.

I raised my head and looked at Jiang Yun's position. She was waving at me.

I’ll make up for it later.

Xu Zhe'an put away his phone and walked quickly towards where Jiang Yun was standing. After taking two steps, he started running.

You can see spots of light shining through the lush leaves onto her head, making her look even more youthful and brighter.

When he was only two steps away from Jiang Yun, Xu Zhe'an stopped.

"Awaited."

"Have you finished reading it all?"

Jiang Yun asked, walked behind Xu Zhe'an, took out two tissues from the side of her schoolbag.

She came back to him again and stood on tiptoe to wipe the sweat off his face.

"Then I have to finish reading it. This is Jiang Yun's love for more than ten years. It's so sincere, how can I let it down?"

Xu Zhe'an lowered his head cooperatively and spoke in a calm and extremely sincere tone.

"Okay."

Jiang Yun took small steps and threw the used tissue into the trash can next to the tree.

He walked behind Xu Zhe'an again, opened his schoolbag and took out the fifth letter. His hands moved very lightly and he carefully checked the page of the bill.

"How could I possibly lie to you about this?"

Xu Zhe'an turned his head and said to Jiang Yun behind him:
"Don't worry, I won't joke about my future wife."

"I definitely believe you."

Jiang Yun smiled brightly, and after confirming that everything was correct, she put the things back where they belonged.

Taking a look is to feel at ease and to have no psychological burden.

"is that OK?"

Xu Zhe'an took Jiang Yun's wrist, pulled her into his arms with a little force, looked down into her eyes and asked.

"Don't worry, I want to examine you."

Jiang Yun broke free from Xu Zhe'an's arms, pulled him up and walked two steps towards the kindergarten gate.

After stopping, she pointed inside and asked:
“What can you see?”

Xu Zhe'an put his hand on his chin and cleared his throat in a pretended deep voice.

"A little dark-skinned girl was hiding behind a pillar and peeking, wasn't that right?"

"That's right."

Jiang Yun nodded, turned her head slightly and looked at Xu Zhe'an, smiling shyly:
"But in my eyes, the most vivid image is your unbridled smile. Not just in kindergarten, but from elementary school until now. I especially love seeing you smile; it's so infectious and healing."

"I'm not that amazing. When I was little, my mom told me my face wasn't straight and told me to smile more and it would be fine. Over time, it became a habit."

Xu Zhe'an denied it. He only glanced at Jiang Yun's eyes and immediately looked away.

He usually always talks about all kinds of teasing, but now he is defeated.

"Cough, cough."

Jiang Yun naturally noticed Xu Zhe'an's action. After coughing twice, she suppressed her smile and jokingly said:

"Mr. Xu is also shy? Don't hide, I don't eat people."

"I'm not shy. The car is a little uncomfortable and I need to relax."

After Xu Zhe'an finished speaking, he held his forehead with his hand to make his explanation more convincing. "Oh~"

Seeing this, Jiang Yun took a small step forward to Xu Zhe'an, raised her head with a smile on her face, and blew gently at him.

"Then take it easy first. If you need a shoulder to lean on, I can give it to you."

She shrugged as she spoke.

After hearing this, Xu Zhe'an didn't hesitate at all. After seeing the position clearly, he bent down and rested his forehead on Jiang Yun's shoulder.

"Come home for dinner later. I have to go back to clean up the house this afternoon. If you're hungry, you have to eat out, okay?"

Jiang Yun patted Xu Zhe'an on the back and asked softly.

"No, I have to follow you wherever you go. The food outside is not tasty."

Xu Zhe'an answered in a deep voice.

"It's very dirty, it will make you uncomfortable. Besides, I haven't cooked in a long time, so all the kitchen utensils are unusable."

After Jiang Yun finished explaining, Xu Zhe'an fell silent, so she raised her hand and touched his face.

"Hey~ Is my cooking really that delicious?"

"I give it full marks."

Xu Zhe'an straightened up and said firmly:

"So I have to follow the chef. The others don't suit my taste."

"That……"

Seeing that he looked normal, Jiang Yun put her fingertips lightly on her lips and asked:
"Do you like my cooking or me?"

"It must be you. Being able to cook is just the icing on the cake."

Xu Zhe'an answered seriously.

"That's it."

Jiang Yun nodded thoughtfully, then smiled sweetly and said in her soft voice:
"What a coincidence, I like you too."

At this point, Xu Zhe'an's heart suddenly beat fast. He paused for a moment before speaking:
"you……"

"Shh~"

Jiang Yun hurriedly interrupted Xu Zhe'an and made a gesture to keep quiet.

"Do you know why it's here? For a little girl who's unfamiliar with the place, your initiative will stay with me forever."

Xu Zhe'an nodded vigorously, and saw her take a step back and turn to face him.

Under the light, the tears in her eyes were obvious, but her crying tone was not discernible at all:

"What's coming next is a bit long, so you'll have to bear with me. I used to not understand what kind of emotion I felt for you. Was it admiration and yearning? At first, it was. It was this admiration that sustained me through a nearly bleak childhood and prevented me from being dragged down by a broken life. It was also my yearning for you that gave me a firm goal, allowing me to walk towards you step by step."

After hearing what she said, the tears in her eyes gathered into tears, rolling down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes.

Just as I was about to help her wipe it, she waved her hand, wiped it with the back of her hand and continued:
"The road to see you was extremely bumpy and difficult, so I walked a little slowly. Although it was extremely difficult, when I met you again, all the scars were healed because of you. I originally thought I was too late, but it turned out that you were also waiting for me. Fortunately, no one else held your hand.

Phew~"

She let out a long sigh, stretched out her hand towards him, and a sweet smile hung on her tear-stained face.

"Can I hold your hand now? The kind that we can never let go of for the rest of our lives? Will you agree?"

"can."

While answering her, he decisively extended his hand, and as soon as it touched her, she held it tightly. Then he heard her speak again:

“In the past, I didn’t want to be anyone’s vassal, and I didn’t want others to be my vassal.

I am me and you are you.

But now I hope we will be us.

My feelings for you haven't lasted a day, a month, or a year, but twelve years. It's the candy-eating-without-crying days in kindergarten, the gazing at each other from afar at 12, the enduring longing for our next encounter at 15, and the desire to spend the rest of my life with you at 18. Once you've made up your mind, there's no regret.

"No regrets, I..."

He was halfway through his words when her hand, gripping him, suddenly loosened. Then, the two shoulder straps of his schoolbag were tugged firmly. A soft squeeze gripped his body, and his slightly dry lips were suddenly pressed against two moist, aggressive lips. His hand, previously resting nowhere, naturally rested on her waist, and he closed his eyes and kissed her.

In the hot weather, two passionate hearts collided here. Fortunately, there were no passers-by in the five minutes.

Even if there is, there is nothing to be afraid of. Even Jiang Yun doesn't care, so Xu Zhe'an doesn't need to worry.

After the two let go, Jiang Yun had a smug smile on her face.

"Hello, my little boyfriend."

"How can you not give me time to prepare?"

Although he almost suffocated, Xu Zhe'an still felt a little unsatisfied.

Jiang Yun stuck out her tongue and explained:
"Because I couldn't help it just like before, hehe~"

"No, I have to return it."

Xu Zhe'an quickly pulled Jiang Yun into his arms, lowered his head and wanted to get back at her, but she covered his mouth with her hand.

"You'll get tired of it after a while, so let's take it slow, okay?"

As soon as Jiang Yun showed her pitiful look, Xu Zhe'an instantly regained his sanity.

"I'll let you go for now, but I won't let you go next time."

"I know~"

Jiang Yun took Xu Zhe'an's hand away, fixed her hair briefly, and invited him:
"I wonder if my gangster boyfriend would like to take a picture with me?"

As she spoke, she had already turned on the camera function of her mobile phone.

Xu Zhe'an put on a look of disgust and shook his head:
"My body is willing, but my mind isn't. Who's the hooligan?"

"Oh, I am I am."

Jiang Yun answered eagerly, then stuffed the phone into Xu Zhe'an's palm.

"Raise your phone and I'll take a photo."

"I'm going to send it out after I finish filming. Let me tell you in advance."

After Xu Zhe'an finished speaking, Jiang Yun raised her head and told him her guess with a smile:

"I've already thought of a title for you, my lovely girlfriend, right?"

"Yes and no, it's my little gangster girlfriend."

Xu Zhe'an smacked his lips and said in amazement.

But Jiang Yun didn't care much. Instead, she took advantage of his inattention and stood on tiptoe to lightly tap his mouth.

"Now? Can you praise me?"

"completely fine."

Xu Zhe'an half-hugged Jiang Yun, moved his phone little by little according to her request, and took pictures repeatedly several times before he got a picture that satisfied her.

I have to say that Jiang Yun is talented when it comes to taking photos. She got a new phone last night, and today she already knows how to take good-looking photos, and her poses are not just the scissors hand gesture.

Satisfied, she set the photo as wallpaper and then took Xu Zhe'an's hand.

"Go home and make you something delicious."

"Uh-huh."

Xu Zhe'an took two steps and suddenly remembered something very important.

He sent the photos he took to his mother.

It happened to be lunch break, and I received a reply in less than two minutes.

[mom]:?
[Mom]: (horrified)

[Mom]: I'll listen to the details when I get back tonight and bring you some cake. (Smile)

[Xu]: It depends.

[Mom]: (Angry)
Xu Zhe'an put away his phone and listened carefully to Jiang Yun talking about her past. This time she talked about the things that made her sad.

After returning home and having dinner, the two changed into clothes that were resistant to dirt, took some cleaning supplies, and headed towards Jiang Yun's house.

It was indeed as dirty and smelly as she had said before. Fortunately, Xu Zhe'an had the foresight to take a pack of masks, put on two layers and started cleaning diligently, trying not to tire his girlfriend out.

Jiang Yun planned to throw away all the things in the two rooms that had been occupied before, except for those left by her parents. After searching, she found less than ten items in total.

Xu Zhe'an asked around and found a place that collected used items. He sold all the items in just one afternoon.

In the evening, 6:30.

"Thank you for your hard work. Mr. Xu, do you want to eat what I cook or should we go out to eat together?"

Jiang Yun took a bottle of drink and came to Xu Zhe'an who was slumped on the sofa. She unscrewed the bottle cap, handed it to him, and asked.

"Don't worry, do we still have a room to clean?"

Xu Zhe'an pointed to Jiang Yun's room.

"Let me help you here too."

"Tsk tsk, your true nature is revealed."

After Jiang Yun finished teasing, she imitated Xu Zhe'an's previous smirk and said:
"Do you want to go in and take a look?"

　Thank you all for your recent recommendations, monthly tickets and rewards.
