Rebirth as an official

In a coffee shop on Zhongshan Avenue in the provincial capital, a young man and woman sat opposite each other.

The sun shines on their faces through the window, and the mottled light and shadow dance on the girl's long hair, while the boy keeps his head lowered to stir the coffee.

The atmosphere in the store is so quiet and warm, as if time has stopped at this moment.

Soft music plays in the coffee shop, adding a sense of romance and tranquility to the space.

The girl's eyes were filled with tears, while the boy's face looked ashamed.

"Beibei, I'm sorry for you." Li An's voice was trembling.

"No, it's not your fault." Zhai Beibei shook his head gently.

"It's my fault. No explanation I can make can make up for the harm done to you." Li An said.

Zhai Bei said nothing, she was trying hard not to shed tears.

Li An watched his beloved cry in front of him, and the heartbreaking feeling was like a sharp arrow, piercing deeply into his heart.

Zhai Bei's tears finally couldn't help but flow down, like broken hearts, and Li An's heart was also broken.

Li An clenched his fists and his nails dug deeply into his palms. That was the only pain he could feel.

That pain, that helplessness.

He could only sit there, helpless, watching her tears fall.

"Li An, I'm going abroad." Zhai Beibei said while wiping her tears.

"Going abroad? When?" Li An was stunned.

“My employer had an opportunity to study abroad, and I was selected.”

"Li An, I'm leaving. You don't have to feel guilty. I decided to leave you."

Li An sat blankly in his seat, and the other side was empty.

Zhai Bei's gentle words were still echoing in his ears.

Li An was filled with guilt and pain.

He recalled the scene when his beloved left, the eyes filled with tears and the grief-stricken expression, which made his heart twist like a knife.

He didn't know how he should face her departure. He only felt that his heart had been torn apart and empty.

What was once sweet and warm has now turned into pain and self-blame.

Thinking of the promise he had made to her, but failed to fulfill it.

Thinking of the love I once had for her, but failed to cherish it.

"I failed her after all!" Li An unknowingly crushed the glass in his hand. The broken glass pierced his skin, and the scarlet blood quickly stained his palms red.

The Third Inspection Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Next to an antique tea table, Li An and Tang Bochuan sat opposite each other, sipping tea and chatting, looking very relaxed.

"Try this good tea that my friend brought specially from the south." Tang Bochuan poured the tea from the fair cup into the tea cup and pushed it to everyone.

Li An picked up the cup, took a sip, and tasted it carefully. It was indeed good.

"Yes, yes, Lao Tang's tea is indeed good, but why does it feel like I drank it at Linjiang Hotel?" Li An said with a smile.

Tang Bochuan was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "You have a good tongue, you can drink this."

"Haha, I guessed it. With your character, Old Tang, how could you miss this opportunity?" Li An joked with a smile.

"Are you really not considering changing places and returning to Jiangdong with me?" Tang Bochuan once again extended an olive branch.

"Old Tang, you don't have to persuade me. I told you that I have no interest in the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission." Li An shook his head.

"Hey~" Tang Bochuan sighed.

"Old Tang, I'd like to lend you some tea to pay homage to you. Thank you for helping me so much. If it weren't for you, I might be in prison. I don't know how long it will take to resolve Lin Jiang's matter." Li Anduan Picked up the tea cup.

"You're welcome, this is my job, not to mention you are my proudest disciple." Tang Bochuan also picked up the cup and took a sip.

Li An felt warm in his heart when he heard this and smiled sweetly.

"By the way, Old Tang tells you something, am I leaving Qingchuan?"

"Ah? Where are you going?"

"The province happened to be organizing the selection of cadres for border assistance recently, so I signed up. This time it's more urgent and I will be leaving in two days."

Linjiang City Railway Station, on the platform, three young people stood there, the sadness of parting filled the air.

"Anzi, do you really want to leave?" Chen Shanhe's tone was filled with reluctance.

"We are already standing here, we must leave." Li An seemed very relaxed.

"Anzi, Yating is due to give birth in two months. You should at least wait until the baby is born before leaving." This was Xu Kai's attempt to stay.

"Hey~" Li An, who originally looked relaxed, had a look of pain on his face.

Zhai Bei left, but he has never gotten over the guilt and pain. He has been avoiding Qiu Yating's matter. He is like a tortoise, no one wants to stay in his own world.

"Let's talk when I get back."

Li An sighed and said nothing more. After saying goodbye to Xu Kai and Chen Shanhe again, he boarded the train.

The train started and quickly disappeared from sight amidst the huge vibration caused by the friction with the rails.

Although the provincial capital is cold in winter, it has a different kind of beauty.

The snowflakes are falling, making the whole city pure and quiet, as if it is an untarnished fairy tale world.

Despite the biting cold wind, Qiu Yating looked at her swollen belly with a happy smile on her face. This was the anticipation for the little life that was about to be born.

Yating's mother couldn't help but sigh when she looked at her daughter. She already knew everything about what happened between her daughter and Li An.

Although she was very willing to make her daughter's decision, she did not interfere. After all, this matter, to put it mildly, was made by her daughter herself, and Li An was not wrong.

Qiu Quansheng walked to his wife, held her hand and said, "Children will be blessed by themselves, so don't worry about it. Just be a grandma happily."

Qiu Yating's mother still said reluctantly: "Quan Sheng, why don't you talk to Xiao Li."

Qiu Quansheng smiled bitterly and said, "What are you talking about? Xiao Li is in Qinghai-Tibet. Let's look for another opportunity when he comes back."

"Hey~ It's true, Qiu Ya is about to give birth, or she won't come back."

Listening to his wife's complaints, Qiu Quansheng could only console her: "Hurry up and pack your things. Tomorrow is my daughter's due date, and we will send her to the hospital today."

While the old couple were chatting, Qiu Yating suddenly felt bursts of pain in her stomach, and she quickly shouted, "Mom, Mom."

Qiu Yating's mother hurriedly ran over. One look at her daughter's appearance and she knew she was about to give birth, so she quickly called a car to take her to the hospital.

Provincial Capital Maternal and Child Health Hospital, outside the operating room.

Qiu Quansheng and his wife were waiting anxiously at the door, and Li An's parents were also standing nearby.

They came to the provincial capital yesterday and have been staying in a hotel. They rushed over as soon as they received the news.

"My mother-in-law, don't worry, Yating's child will definitely be fine." Na Wenyin stepped forward to comfort her.

Time passed bit by bit, but no news came out from the operating room, which made Qiu Yating's mother even more anxious.

Another hour passed, and suddenly the door of the operating room was pushed open, and a nurse came out and shouted: "Who are Qiu Yating's family members?"

"I am." Qiu Quansheng stepped forward immediately.

The nurse glanced at the middle-aged man with some gray hair and asked doubtfully: "Who are you from Qiu Yating?"

"My Qiu Yating's father."

"Her husband's, why didn't he come?"

The nurse's question made everyone speechless with embarrassment. However, the nurse was very anxious at this time and directly took out the list and said: "The patient is bleeding heavily now and I need you to sign here..."

The nurse talked a lot quickly and explained many things.

Qiu Yating's mother glanced at Li An's parents with a complaining look, which made the old couple even more at a loss.

"Nurse, are the adults and children okay?" Qiu Quansheng asked again before signing.

"Don't worry, we will do our best to ensure the safety of adults and children," the nurse said.

"Thank you for your hard work." After Qiu Quansheng finished speaking and was about to sign, a familiar voice appeared in the corridor.

"Let me sign."

Everyone looked behind them, and a man with dark skin and unshaven beard appeared in front of them. It was Li An who worked in Qinghai-Tibet.

"Anzi!!!"

"Xiao Li!!!"

In everyone's surprise, Li An walked to the nurse and

"Nurse, I am the father of the child. I will sign this."

After speaking, Li An took the pen from Qiu Quansheng's hand and signed his name on the list.

When the nurse saw that the family members around her had no objection, she glanced at the somewhat vicissitudes of life and hurriedly walked into the operating room.

Na Wenyin came over and gave her son a few hard blows, "Why did you come here?"

Qiu Quansheng's face was filled with relief, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't blame Xiao Li, just come."

Everyone stood there waiting quietly. Another hour passed, and a baby's cry came from the operating room.

The nurse came out holding the baby and said, "Congratulations, it's a golden baby."

A crowd of people immediately gathered around, squeezing Li An, who had just become a father, outside. This made him awkwardly stand on his feet and crane his neck to look inside.

The nurse pushed through the crowd, handed the baby to Li An and said, "Girl, this is the bracelet, please see clearly."

Li An didn't even have time to take a closer look at his daughter before he was carried into the operating room by the nurse.

After a long time, Qiu Yating woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes, she saw an unshaven man smiling softly at him.

He gently held Qiu Yating's hand and said, "Yating, you have suffered."

At this moment, Qiu Yating's tears finally burst out. After crying for a while, she sobbed and said, "Why are you here?"

Li An said with a guilty and caring look on his face: "How could I not come for such a big event?"

Qiu Yating said with tears in her eyes, "Where is our child?"

Li An pointed to a small bed next to her, "My daughter is asleep, as beautiful as you."

Li An carefully carried the child to Qiu Yating and put him down.

The tired Qiu Yating stared at this cute little life, her face filled with the brilliance of maternal love, which was an indescribable joy and satisfaction.

"Lee An, give the child a name."

"Then my name is Li Luyun."
