Rebirth: Back to before my girlfriend dropped out of school

Tong Yusui really didn't know about this. After all, she was still in school, and it was not a good thing for her to be involved in those things. Therefore, from the beginning, she tried to reduce her presence. She had to show up, but she couldn't be too conspicuous either.

Ji Ze is a very good candidate. Of course, Tong Yusui cannot completely trust him for the time being because she does not have her own team. Ji Ze's subordinates are all his confidants, and she can easily be sidelined.

At the beginning, she guessed that Ji Ze might be reused, but it was impossible for him to manage the dock alone, and Master Hai would not trust him.

Mu Xingzhou talked a lot over there, and seeing that Tong Yusui really seemed to know nothing, he relaxed a little and made an appointment with Tong Yusui to meet at Tianhao Hotel on the weekend.

One phone call couldn't dispel his suspicion.

After hanging up, Tong Yusui continued to check her phone messages. Ji Ze hadn't told her about his promotion, but this didn't make her doubt him. Instead, she felt more passive at the moment. She thought of someone else...

"What's wrong?" Seeing her frown after she answered the phone, Xia Zhuomian couldn't help but ask.

Tong Yusui heard the voice, put away his phone, turned around, and said with a smile, "Now that Liu Yang has fallen, the pier is ours."

Hearing the word "pier" again, Xia Zhuomian smiled very reluctantly, "Oh, really? That's good."

"What's wrong with you?" Tong Yusui was a little confused and panicked when she saw his distraught look. This wasn't the first time Tong Yusui had seen this, and she felt something was wrong. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Xia Zhuomian shook his head, lowered his head sadly, then suddenly looked up, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and warned her seriously, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Be sure to pay attention to safety. If you can let others handle things, let them handle them. Don't go out to sea..."

He said a lot, and repeated it again after he finished speaking, fearing that she would forget any of it.

This was the first time she saw Xia Zhuomian like this. She couldn't help but reach out and hold his arm. "What's wrong with you? Don't worry. I'm just a small fry now and can't even go out to sea!"

She continued, "It's Ji Ze. He now manages the dock."

Tong Yusui just wanted to announce the good news in advance. Since Mu Xingzhou didn't get it, the pier was basically hers. She was confident about this, but she didn't expect that this would make Xia Zhuomian uneasy.

Ji Ze? It was him.

"That's good, that's good." Xia Zhuomian said it twice and finally calmed down.

Seeing that Xia Zhuomian's mood had stabilized a little after a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you very against the dock?"

But the only thing Wanjiang can compete for is the wharf, and she has no other choice for the time being.

What Xia Zhuomian didn't want to talk about was a painful memory.

But Sui Sui obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He spoke, his eyes vacantly looking at the silver-black river surface. "Back then, the first thing you took wasn't the wharf, but other small businesses. Mu Xingzhou was stronger back then. The wharf had already been operating for several years when you came to Wanjiang. You were very busy in the following years, running around inside and outside and finally got the wharf. You also drove Mu Xingzhou abroad. At that time, I thought you wouldn't be in any danger, until that day, when you said there was a batch of goods that was very important and needed you to keep an eye on it in person. You left that afternoon, and I waited for you at home for three days, but you didn't come back. Later, later..."

His breathing quickened, his face was pale and struggling, as if he had a nightmare that he didn't want to wake up from. "They said, they said..."

Tong Yusui felt a sudden pain in her heart when she heard this. She instantly understood something and hugged Xia Zhuomian in her arms. "Don't say anything. I understand everything. I understand everything."

Xia Zhuomian nestled in her neck obediently, a little dazed, tears streaming from his eyes, but he remained dazed, as if he had become accustomed to the sadness. "They said you were dead, the cargo ship exploded, and there was no trace of your body..."

Tong Yusui's arms around him suddenly tightened, and his body disappeared without a trace. It was so cruel. Poor Mianmian who had been waiting for her to come home.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I won't go out to sea," she promised.

The person in his arms didn't react at all, still staring at the calm water with a vague look on his face.

He had been to the pier. It was his first time there and also his last time. It was a late autumn afternoon and it was very cold. The sea breeze pricked his body like needles. The sea was still calm, with waves gently surging up and then slowly receding. There was no sign of the horror of the sea at all.

There was nothing on the sea except some ships anchored against the shore. There were no ruptures after the disaster, no wreckage of ships, nothing at all, only the endless sea that swallowed everything.

Xia Zhuomian didn't believe that the man was dead, and he didn't dare to believe it.

But that person just disappeared like that, and the world went on as usual, as if no one remembered him except him.

He waited for her for seven days, but finally couldn't wait any longer, so he and his confidants held her funeral. A photo, a black jar filled with burned old clothes, and a simple funeral with almost no trace of her began so hastily.

There were few people coming, or maybe a lot, he didn't know, he just knelt there, waiting for the verdict of fate.

But nothing unexpected happened, and the funeral went smoothly. He had never wished for anything less than at that moment. He wished someone would suddenly burst into the scene and say, "I'm not dead yet, why have a funeral?" But no, nothing, only silence. He closed his eyes, hoping it was all a dream, and then he was transported back in time. He was overwhelmed with surprise, yet also afraid it was just a dream he had while keeping vigil...

Now that his life was back on track, he thought he'd forgotten the painful past, but he hadn't expected that he couldn't recall it at all. Whenever he thought of that sea, that past, he couldn't help but tremble, as if he were back to that afternoon...

Tong Yusui knew that she died in her previous life, but she didn't know how she died. She remembered the scene when they first met and he burst into tears when he talked about death. He didn't dare to mention it and didn't want to mention it, but she opened the scar again.

Tong Yusui was extremely annoyed. The person in her arms didn't move. She could feel the wetness on her shoulder and felt even sadder. "Mianmian, I was wrong. I should have made it clear to you that I don't care about a pier."

"We've been to Jiangcheng before. Master Hai has both shady and overt businesses. Perhaps the reason he sent me to school was to give me more options. That's why I let others take charge and gave up on directly robbing the city. Don't worry, I really won't die for a pier. I can even choose not to go out to sea, really."

Really? Xia Zhuomian was stunned for a moment when he heard the anxious voice in his ear. Is this what Sui Sui thinks?

"Maybe this is why I regretted not going to school in my previous life. Maybe after being with you, I also wanted a stable life, but reality didn't allow it, so I regretted not continuing to go to school. Besides, you have changed the past, haven't you? We will definitely be fine."
