100 Days of Rebirth: The Loyal Dog of the Cold and Aloof Actress

"What did you say?"

Meng Tingwan felt like she was hallucinating. "What past life? You, how could you..."

Cheng Yu stroked her tear-streaked cheeks, his eyes brimming with tears, and slowly said, "Listen, I can die with you, whether in the past life or this life, I will be with you."

Meng Tingwan was so shocked that she even forgot to cry.

But the man's words kept replaying in her mind.

She thought that no one would understand her unique experience.

But now Cheng Yu tells himself that he will stay with her.

"You, in your past life, could it be that you also..."

Meng Tingwan's voice choked with emotion, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Cheng Yu felt both heartache and sadness. He gently pulled her into his arms and patted her back. "It's okay, all those things are in the past. Just remember that I will always love you and always be with you."

"No, I don't want you to stay with me. I want you to live a good life and be happy forever."

"I won't be happy without you." Cheng Yu hugged her tighter. "So listen, do you want to tell me everything, hmm?"

Meng Tingwan leaned on his shoulder, tears streaming down her face, her sobs heartbreaking.

After a long while, she finally managed to stop crying and hugged the man's arm tightly.

Cheng Yu shifted his position, picked her up from the soft chair, sat down on it himself, placed her on his lap, and kissed her forehead with his thin lips.

Meng Tingwan closed her eyes, sobbing softly, and said with a thick nasal voice, "I went to the United States not because I didn't reply to your messages, but because I was unconscious for almost five days. When I woke up, I saw the news of my grandmother's death."

“I went to the funeral. I saw you kneeling in front of Grandma’s tombstone, crying so heartbreakingly, so heavily, so sadly. I felt really bad. If I die in a hundred days, how much of a blow it will be to you.”

"Cheng Yu, I don't want to see you sad anymore, I don't want to see you cry like that anymore."

She stroked Cheng Yu's face with one hand, her eyes meeting his.

This man was a man of refined character, the eldest son of the Cheng family, admired by countless people.

When she looks at herself, she always has a gentle and tender expression, like a star in the sky or the moon on earth.

How could someone like that give up their life for themselves?

"Listen."

Cheng Yu's eyes were full of tenderness, his pupils gleaming with a burning light. Every time he called out those two words, it was as if he were speaking sweet nothings.

Meng Tingwan liked him calling her that, because no one else had ever called her that before, only him.

"Ah."

"You gave me hope for life, and you saved me during that incredibly dark time. To me, you are my life. If you were gone, I would be no different from a walking corpse."

As Cheng Yu spoke, a string of tears rolled down his cheeks, making him look pitiful.

Meng Tingwan stroked his face, cursing him, "Idiot, you're just an idiot."

"Yes, I am an idiot, and this idiot has stuck with you. Whether it's this life or the next, you're not going to get rid of him."

Cheng Yu smiled, a smirk playing on his lips.

But to Meng Tingwan, that smile only made her heart ache.

She leaned closer and couldn't help but kiss the man's lips, slowly licking and sucking them.

Cheng Yu put one arm around her waist and the other hand on her head, then opened his mouth to deepen the kiss.

Their breaths mingled as they embraced and kissed, their breathing becoming heavier.

Before long, the room was filled with sounds that made one blush and their heart race.

……

Two hours later.

Cheng Yu carried Meng Tingwan out of the bathroom and gently placed her on the bed.

Then, he went to the side, poured a glass of water, inserted a straw, and placed it near the woman's lips.

Meng Tingwan drank about half a cup, and Cheng Yu drank the rest.

He put the blanket back in its place, then lifted it and lay down, stretching out an arm to pull the other person into a hug.

"Are you tired? Do you want to take a nap?"

Meng Tingwan nestled against him and gently shook her head, "No, I want to finish what I was saying earlier."

"Well, you tell me and I listen."

So Meng Tingwan recounted everything that had happened after her rebirth.

Cheng Yu frowned more and more as he listened.

"I originally thought that the 100 days of rebirth was just a hallucination or a mishearing, but the more I went on, the worse my health became. I would have tinnitus, nosebleeds, and even vomit blood from time to time, but the doctor said that I was very healthy and not sick."

"So I'm afraid that when my time comes I will die, what will you do then? I can't bear to see you so heartbroken for me."

Meng Tingwan is much calmer now, but her voice is still hoarse when she speaks.

"What I said about being angry because you lied to me and hid your identity was just an excuse. When I found out that you were the one who had been with me all along, I was very happy, genuinely happy. It's just that I had a nosebleed at the time, so I left your office in a hurry."

“Cheng Yu, I love you. Maybe it’s because I saw the bite marks on your body, maybe it’s because you’ve always been so tolerant of me, maybe it’s because you’ve always comforted me even when I’ve hurt you, maybe it’s because you risked your life to save me abroad. But no matter what moment it was, I may have fallen in love with you long ago. I just haven’t dared to admit it or take that step.”

"I love you, I love every moment of you, and I want to love you every day from now on."

Meng Tingwan shifted her body and lay on top of him, resting her chin on the man's chest, expressing the feelings she had been suppressing deep within her heart.

This was the first time she had confessed her feelings to someone, and the first time she had said those three words to Cheng Yu.

If I were to actually die, it seems I wouldn't have any regrets.

Cheng Yu stared into her bright eyes, which were filled with love for him. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't resist kissing her lips.

"Listen, I love you too, so much."

“Yes, I know.” Meng Tingwan lowered her face and spoke of her worries, “I didn’t let Cen Yi tell anyone about my coma, nor did I tell anyone that I would die in a hundred days. I’m scared.”

"Don't worry, I'm here." Cheng Yu stroked her smooth skin with his hand. "If you want to keep it a secret, I'll help you."

Meng Tingwan didn't really know whether she should keep it a secret or not, but she definitely couldn't tell anyone right now, since there were still matters concerning the Meng family that hadn't been resolved.

Cheng Yu respected all her decisions, but there was one thing he still needed to confirm.

"Listen to this, you said you wanted a divorce, doesn't that mean it anymore?"

Meng Tingwan smiled slightly, turned to look at him, and said, "Seeing how pitifully you're crying, I won't get a divorce."

"Crying pitifully?"

Cheng Yu was puzzled, then pinched her cheek with his hand, "If I had known you would soften because I cried, I should have cried earlier and cried for a while longer."

"No way, you look awful when you cry."

Meng Tingwan pretended to be disgusted and pushed his face away.

Cheng Yu, however, shamelessly leaned in and kissed her, saying, "Where am I ugly? I learned all my crying scenes from Teacher Meng."

"No, I don't have a student like you."

Meng Tingwan dodged his kiss, her face beaming with a bright smile.

Cheng Yu refused to let her go, and the two became entangled in a mess on the bed.
