At this moment, Ye Shimei shook off Rong Jinbo's hand and said angrily, "Have you had enough of this?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Rong Jinbo seemed to realize that he had gone too far and whispered, "Ye Shimei, I'm sorry, I..."

Ye Shimei glared at him, turned and ran away.

Ling Zhibo glared at Rong Jinbo fiercely and chased after him.

Rong Jinbo and Xiao Jingyu were left standing there. Xiao Jingyu shook his head helplessly: "You, you are always so impulsive."

Rong Jinbo looked in the direction they left and fell into deep thought.

Ye Shimei ran, her thoughts in a mess. She didn't think about her previous life, because in her previous life, she refused her father to see Rong Jinbo. This time was different, why did Ling Zhibo and Xiao Jingyu appear at Rong Jinbo's place? Moreover, Ling Zhibo's behavior this time was very different from that in the previous life.

Ye Shimei stopped, gasping for breath, his heart full of doubts. At this time, Ling Zhibo caught up with him.

Ling Zhibo gasped and said, "Ye Shimei, don't run away."

Ye Shimei looked at him and asked, "Ling Zhibo, what's going on? Why did you two show up together?"

Ling Zhibo's eyes flickered, and after a moment's hesitation he said, "Ye Shimei, some things are hard to explain right away, but I don't want you to get too close to Rong Jinbo."

Ye Shimei frowned: "Why? You have to give me a reason."

Ling Zhibo took a deep breath: "Because... because Rong Jinbo is not as simple as you see."

Ye Shimei was even more confused: "Then please explain it clearly!"

Ling Zhibo hesitated to speak: "This..."

Rong Jinbo and Xiao Jingyu walked over happily with smiles on their faces. Ling Zhibo remained silent, staring intently at the document in Xiao Jingyu's hand.

Ye Shimei suddenly said: "I'm tired, I'm going home to rest."

Rong Jinbo suddenly saw Ye Shimei's tired face and hurriedly said, "I'll take you home."

Ye Shimei was about to refuse when Rong Jinbo pulled her arm and walked towards the parking lot.

Xiao Jingyu shouted from behind: "Then be careful on the road."

Ling Zhibo still stood there, looking at their departing backs with a gloomy face.

Ye Shimei remained silent the entire way, simply staring out the window at the receding street scene. Rong Jinbo tried several times to break the silence, but he didn't know where to begin.

Finally, Rong Jinbo cleared his throat and said, "Ye Shimei, don't take what happened today to heart."

Ye Shimei turned her head, glanced at him indifferently, and said, "How can I not think about it? You are all weird."

Rong Jinbo smiled bitterly: "There are some things that I can't tell you now."

Ye Shimei snorted coldly: "How long do we have to wait?"

At this time, the car stopped downstairs of Ye Shimei's house.

Rong Jinbo helped Ye Shimei open the car door and said, "When the time is right, I will tell you everything."

Ye Shimei ignored him, got out of the car and walked home.

Rong Jinbo looked at her back and murmured to himself, "I hope you can understand."

After returning home, Ye Shimei lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Everything that happened today kept appearing in her mind.

On the other side, after Rong Jinbo drove away, he fell into deep thought. He knew that some things could not be hidden for long.

Ye Shimei went to the bathroom to wash her face. Looking at herself in the mirror, she recalled every detail of her past life. She knew she was no longer the innocent 13-year-old, but a 29-year-old woman with a mature mind and a seasoned personality. She vowed to protect her family this time.

But Rong Jinbo and Xiao Jingyu had no idea that Ye Shimei had such a mature heart. In their eyes, she was just a little girl.

Ye Shimei took a deep breath and said to herself in the mirror: "In this life, I will not let the tragedy happen again."

She walked out of the bathroom, her eyes becoming extremely determined.

Ye Zhenbang and Lin Wanyi stood and watched Ye Shimei coming. The three of them then sat on the sofa, and Xiao Cui quickly brought a plate of fruit.

Ye Zhenbang was the first to speak: "How's your acquaintance with Rong Jinbo?"

Ye Shimei lowered his head slightly, fiddled with his fingers, and said, "Dad, it's just like that, nothing special."

Ye Zhenbang frowned and said, "Shimei, Dad thinks Rong Jinbo is a good kid, don't take it lightly."

Lin Wanyi echoed from the side: "Yes, Shimei, get more contact."

Ye Shimei raised her head and said helplessly, "Mom and Dad, love can't be rushed."

Suddenly, Ye Shimei thought of Ling Zhibo's figure and smiled unintentionally. Ye Zhenbang and Lin Wanyi saw Ye Shimei's unintentional smile, looked at each other, and Ye Zhenbang said: "This child."

Lin Wanyi smiled and continued, "It seems that our Shimei has someone in her heart."

Ye Shimei finally came back to her senses, her face flushed, and she scolded, "Mom and Dad, what are you talking about!"

Ye Zhenbang laughed: "Shimei, what is there to be embarrassed about telling your parents?"

Ye Shimei bit her lip and said, "Really not, don't guess."

Ye Zhenbang smiled and said, "Shimei, Dad thinks Rong Jinbo is 25 years old, only 12 years older than you. Age is not a problem."

Ye Shimei was suddenly shocked when she saw Ye Zhenbang say this, thinking that her father thought her lover was Rong Jinbo.

Lin Wanyi noticed that Ye Shimei's eyes were not right, and patted Ye Zhenbang's hand and winked. Ye Zhenbang was stunned at first, then smiled and nodded.

Ye Shimei hurriedly said: "Dad, you really misunderstood, I don't have that kind of feelings for Rong Jinbo."

Ye Zhenbang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Dad is overthinking it."

Lin Wanyi also said, "Shimei, no matter who you like, as long as you are happy, your parents will support you."

Ye Shimei said with emotion: "Thank you, Mom and Dad."

Ye Shimei recalled the raging flames of his previous life, baring their fangs and claws, as if to devour everything. The flames illuminated the dark night sky, and thick smoke billowed into the air. Within the sea of ​​fire, a vague figure seemed to struggle and shout.

Her face turned pale instantly, and her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. She said to Lin Wanyi and Ye Zhenbang, "Mom and Dad, I have something to do and I have to leave." After that, she turned around and left in a hurry, leaving Lin Wanyi and Ye Zhenbang with a look of confusion and worry.

Lin Wanyi quickly stood up and grabbed Ye Shimei, and asked anxiously: "Shimei, what happened? You are so panicked."

Ye Shimei broke free from her mother's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Mom, don't ask me anymore. I really have something to do and I have to leave right away."

Ye Zhenbang also stepped forward and looked at his daughter seriously: "Shimei, is there anything you can't tell us? Are you in trouble?"

Ye Shimei bit her lip, tears in her eyes: "Dad, Mom, there is no time to explain, I will tell you when I come back." After that, she ran out without looking back.

Lin Wanyi and Ye Zhenbang looked at each other, full of worry.

Ye Shimei ran all the way, the horrible scene of the sea of ​​fire flashing through her mind. She came to a secluded corner, squatted down, hugged her knees with her hands, and her body kept shaking.

The driver was driving intently, and Ling Zhibo was sitting in the back seat, looking out the window casually. Suddenly, he spotted Ye Shimei squatting in a secluded corner.

"Stop the car!" Ling Zhibo shouted anxiously.

The driver was startled by the sudden order and quickly stepped on the brakes. The car stopped steadily on the side of the road. Ling Zhibo opened the door and strode towards Ye Shimei.

"Ye Shimei, why are you here?" Ling Zhibo's voice was full of concern and confusion.

Ye Shimei raised her head, tears still lingering on her face. When she saw Ling Zhibo, a hint of surprise and panic flashed in her eyes: "No, nothing."

Ling Zhibo frowned, squatted down, and looked Ye Shimei in the eye: "Don't hide it from me, what happened?"

Ye Shimei bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head: "It's really okay, I'm just not in a good mood."

Ling Zhibo obviously didn't believe it. He gently took Ye Shimei's hand and said, "Come with me. You can tell me anything."

Ye Shimei looked at Ling Zhibo's determined eyes, and her heart warmed. She slowly stood up and followed him.

Ling Zhibo took Ye Shimei to the beach for some fresh air, and they sat at the foot of the stairs. The sea breeze gently blew their hair, bringing a hint of coolness.

Ling Zhibo looked at Ye Shimei quietly, waiting for her to speak. Ye Shimei looked at the surging sea, was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "I remembered some things in the past, and those memories are haunting me like nightmares."

Ling Zhibo held Ye Shimei's hand and gave her strength: "Don't be afraid, speak slowly."

Ye Shimei took a deep breath and continued, "The fire in my previous life has been lingering in my mind. The figures struggling and shouting in the sea of ​​fire seem to be right in front of me." Her voice trembled and her body trembled slightly.

Ling Zhibo held her hand tighter and comforted her, "It's all in the past, Shimei. Don't let the shadow of the past hang over you forever."

Ye Shimei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But I always can't help thinking about it. I always feel that there is a mystery in it that I haven't solved."

Ling Zhibo looked at her with a firm gaze: "Then let's go find the answer together and solve this mystery together."

Ye Shimei turned her head, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes: "Is it really possible?"

Ling Zhibo nodded: "Of course I can."

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, reflecting their hopeful faces.

Ling Zhibo handed the ring to Ye Shimei: "There is one thing that confuses me."

Ye Shimei looked at the ring, which was engraved with "Shimei is grateful and happy Zhibo".

Zhibo handed Ye Shimei a bag containing photos. Ye Shimei opened it and saw that the photos were all children. She was surprised, remembering that in her previous life, she received a bag with an invitation, not photos. "Why do you have this thing?"

Ling Zhibo said solemnly, "I got this by chance, and I always feel it has some connection with our past."

Ye Shimei frowned and looked through the photos carefully: "But who are these children? Why were they given to us?"

Ling Zhibo pondered for a moment: "Perhaps, this is the key clue to solving the mystery of the previous life."

Ye Shimei raised his head, his eyes determined: "No matter what, we must find out the truth."

The sea breeze gradually rose, blowing the corners of their clothes, and the expressions of the two men looked more resolute in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Zhibo recalled going to Rong Jinbo's bar. Under the dim light, Rong Jinbo's face was gloomy, and he was warning Zhibo fiercely: "Hurry up and sign the contract. Otherwise, I will shoot her."

Zhibo saved the woman, who was covered with a black cloth. He thought it was Ye Shimei. His heart tightened and he shouted, "I promise!"

The younger brother quickly handed him the contract and he signed it without hesitation.

Rong Jinbo smiled coldly, raised his hand and shot the woman who betrayed him.

But when he lifted the black cloth, he found a strange face. At that moment, his heart was filled with loss and confusion. He didn't understand why he had such a firm illusion, as if he subconsciously believed that this woman was Ye Shimei. This sudden disparity made his mood plummet to the bottom, and he stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

Seeing Zhibo’s pale face, Ye Shimei leaned on Zhibo’s shoulder unintentionally.
