Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

I always feel that Wen Lingyu's love for me in this life is inexplicable. I have tried my best to avoid him, but I still can't get rid of him.

I wanted to get rid of him desperately because I firmly believed that he liked me but was just making an excuse for being gay and tricking me into being his "gay wife."

Everyone was telling me how much Wen Lingyu liked me, but I always thought he was just pretending and trying to stay as far away from me as possible.

For a while, I even fell into a vicious circle of "everyone is drunk but I am sober": you all say good things about him, but I am the only one who knows his true face; you all want to be friends with him, but I am the only one who stays away from him.

With this mentality, I set up a unique quadrant for him: anyone or anything close to this quadrant would be automatically classified by me into the "not allowed and stay away" area.

This has also hurt many people. For example, Mu Zijin was once a victim...

I suddenly remembered the three words Wen Lingyu said to me when we parted ways in the county town: "I am not."

I really didn't think too much about it at the time. I just wanted him to leave quickly and didn't think about the question of "what he is not".

Now that I think about it, was he explaining to me that “he is not gay”? That means… he knows that I am also born again…

Indeed, what I can think of, he can definitely think of with his intelligence.

Oh, so many questions...

Let’s go to bed first.

Invite him to dinner tomorrow...

Wen Lingyu is different from Ms. Lin. I can act recklessly in front of Ms. Lin, and I can guess Ms. Lin's psychology presumptuously, because we are mother and daughter, and some things don't need to be made so clear. Wen Lingyu is too smart, and in front of such a high IQ person, it seems that nothing can be hidden, and I don't even know when he guessed my identity.

So after thinking it through, I decided that this dinner would be a confession one.

Sincerity is the sure winner.

Wen Lingyu dressed up carefully, from her hairstyle to her clothes and accessories, every detail was very deliberate.

"The cuff you gave me hasn't been designed yet, so I can only find something similar." Wen Lingyu's tone was firm yet cautious.

He and I both knew that this was a reunion, a reunion across lifetimes.

A line from a play rang out in my mind at an inopportune moment: "I'm standing right in front of you. Do you think I look like I used to?"

"Are you so confident that I will recognize you?"

"Because you are A-Lin, a person who will do something with determination as long as he wants to. When you took the initiative to ask me out, I knew that A-Lin had figured out some things, and there was finally a chance for the relationship between us to be eased." He handed over a bouquet of flowers and popcorn chicken.

"I remember when I first gave you roses, you said they were the most frivolous thing and it would be better to give you something that could fill your stomach."

I didn't answer. "The economic base determines the superstructure. At that time, I was worried about my livelihood every day. Money was the only thing on my mind, so of course I didn't care about flowers. Now it's different. I can live a good life instead of just surviving."

Wen Lingyu laughed at himself, hiding the popcorn bouquet behind him, "So I am still stuck in the past."

"Actually, I prefer to see you when you're younger. You're only 25 now, aren't you?" His outfit deliberately imitated his past self. The suit he wore when I knew him, the hairstyle he wore when I knew him, and even the cuffs were similar.

Wen Lingyu fiddled with his hair and said, "I thought I could play the emotional card."

"Then you should know that we have no feelings for each other."

"Cheng Lin, I don't believe you haven't fallen in love with me."

"I was touched, so what?" I looked at him with an open look in my eyes and an even more open heart. "In my once dull life, you once briefly warmed me up. There's nothing to hide about it. I tried to be brave once, and you know the result."

"We were almost together, weren't we?"

"But I don't think it was even close. Even now, I'm still glad that I didn't get together with you. Wen Lingyu, I believe you have your reasons, but to me at that time, it was unforgivable."

The curve of Wen Lingyu's mouth was shaking uncontrollably, just like a withered leaf about to fall from a bleak tree in this season. "I know...some things, once they happen, can never be undone. But Ah Lin, believe me, I really am not..."

"I believe it." I looked into his eyes seriously. "I have believed it since I figured out your identity. After all, there is a matter of life and death between us, isn't it?"

Wen Lingyu smiled, but a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, "Ah Lin, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? I haven't helped you in anything."

"No, meeting you is my greatest salvation."

Maybe it’s because I’ve heard too many different kinds of love words in the past year, so I don’t feel any pain when Wen Lingyu says this in such a flowery way. I’m already immune to it…

"Lin...can we...start again as friends?" It seemed like he had been thinking about it for a long time and finally mustered up the courage to say it out loud.

I took my time picking up the food. "Of course." I paused, not missing the surprise in Wen Lingyu's eyes. "On the condition that I know what I want to know."

Wen Lingyu held his chin up, his pair of peach blossom eyes were gentle and affectionate, with a natural warmth. "Whatever Ah Lin wants to know, I will tell you everything I know."

"Why did you die?"

"I'm sick and don't want treatment."

"When did you wake up?"

"Eighteen years old. I am honored to be reborn on the eve of the darkest moment in my life. I changed my fate and prevented the tragedy from happening." He leaned forward and said in a low voice, "A-Lin, I am clean now. Do you want to see my medical examination report?"

I coughed and focused on the food in front of me. Going to a strange country to study at a young age, and with this kind of appearance, I can probably guess what he has been through.

"So you became the youngest MD at Harvard?"

"I just took advantage of my rebirth... More importantly, I want to see you as soon as possible. I want to show you a healthy, excellent and perfect me."

"Then Dr. Wen, can you explain our current phenomenon from a scientific perspective?" His tone was more relaxed than expected.

Wen Lingyu's Adam's apple moved slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes before his mouth. "Ah Lin, when necessary, metaphysics can be believed. Science can't explain it. Maybe God just can't bear to see us, a pair of miserable mandarin ducks~"

He tapped his fingers on the table. “I’m asking you again very seriously.”

"I am answering you very seriously. The time machine can take people back to the past, but you and I both know that we are not. We have truly died and are starting over again to make up for past regrets and create a different future. Lin, this is fate. I believe there are more than two of us in this world, no... three. But who cares? The world is still developing every day. It's enough for me to care about you..."

“You also know my mother…”

"Just look at the way my aunt treats me."

"Wen Lingyu... One last question... What happened after I died?"
