Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

Chu Luo thought he couldn't possibly believe it, but Jin Wuchen took it to heart.

"Your nightmares are images of him doing bad things, right? As if you were witnessing it yourself?" Jin Wuchen walked up to her and wrote on her palm, asking.

Chu Luo was taken aback and nodded. Surprisingly, he didn't find it absurd or nonsensical.

Jin Wuchen recalled her various unusual behaviors, such as when she said the dam would have an accident during the heavy rain, and when she mentioned the epidemic, all of which were accurate. Chu Luo's expression when she saw Long Yu also seemed to recognize him.

Chu Luo said she had several vivid dreams in which she saw many things that would happen in the future.

At the time, Jin Wuchen was skeptical, but he believed her anyway. Now it seems she wasn't lying.

"Are the people and things after I woke up the same as in my dream?" Jin Wuchen actually wanted to know if he had already appeared in her dream and wasn't a good person.

Is it because she saw Fei Zhiyou in her dream that she trusted him so much?

Chu Luo shook her head and said, "Not entirely. For example, my friend Fei Zhiyou and many others aren't like that. It all depends on human actions."

What she meant was that she had never seen Fei Zhiyou or him in her dream.

The Chu family will eventually persecute and force her to marry. So who will be the person who accompanies her in her dreams and has an emotional entanglement with her?

Suddenly, a person named "Chen Shu" appeared in Jin Wuchen's mind.

Jin Wuchen didn't want to miss this opportunity and wanted to know about her past entanglements with Chen Shu, so he wrote Chen Shu's name in her palm.

Fei Zhiyou once said that she always felt that statement seemed somewhat different from what she expected.

The person who was with Chu Luo had also said that the two seemed to have known each other before.

Chu Luo was extremely familiar with these two words. In her previous life, when she still had feelings for her children and thoughts about them, she had written "This is for your personal use only" on envelopes many times.

But it ultimately came to nothing, and Chu Luo never had any more romantic feelings for anyone after that.

When Jin Wuchen saw Chu Luo's expression, he knew he hadn't guessed wrong; there really was some past between them.

"Is he your lover?" Jin Wuchen wrote the question on her hand.

Chu Luo smiled with relief and began to talk about her entanglement with Chen Shu.

In one of her lifetimes, Chu Luo arrived at a place called Guanyu. Unfortunately, a drought struck, compounded by the man-made disaster of Feng Zhe concealing and taking away the disaster relief funds.

Many people died or fled, too busy to even take care of themselves.

At that time, the disciples of Shao Sheng Fei Hong in the local area spontaneously took action to help those suffering from disaster.

At that time, a great scholar from Guanyu established an academy there, which was quite famous, and many students came to study there.

They didn't leave either, and started helping out. It was because of these scions of prominent families that some money was raised from Jiangcheng.

Chu Luo, who was helping out there at the time, became familiar with them and the students of Shaosheng.

Together they searched for water and dug a well.

Chen Shu is a man of few words, gentle in temperament, polite and compassionate, and very hardworking. Apart from his appearance, you would never guess that he was raised in a privileged family.

The two truly met when Chen Shu rescued people from a collapsing house. He saved both adults and children, but the children had injuries to their hands and feet and were quite frightened. Chu Luo, who happened to be passing by, saw this and quickly stepped forward to help clean their wounds and apply medicine.

Despite being injured, Chen Shu quietly retreated to the side of the crowd, glanced at his bleeding hand, and discreetly hid it in his sleeve.

Chu Luo, who was bandaging her wound, inadvertently witnessed this scene and stepped out of the crowd to inquire about his injuries.

"It's nothing, just a minor scratch," Chen Shu replied somewhat embarrassedly.

He had actually met Chu Luo before, but they weren't close. Now that a girl was taking the initiative to show concern for him, he was at a loss for how to respond.

"I have medicine, I can help," Chu Luo continued kindly, seeing his taciturn and somewhat shy appearance, she wanted to talk to him more and tease him.

Chu Luo has her own methods for helping find water sources during disaster relief, so she has a good relationship with the students of Shaosheng Academy and the people of Guanyu Academy.

Chu Luo had always longed to read and be with these learned people. She also readily took every opportunity to learn from them, and much of her vocabulary and knowledge came from these people.

She learns quickly and always has new insights, which people enjoy sharing with her.

Chen Shu was full of enthusiasm and knowledge, but he had not suffered much hardship and had little experience dealing with ordinary people. When he was assigned to help out, the teacher of Guanyu Academy asked him and a few others to help each other with Chu Luo.

As Chen Shu spent more and more time with Chu Luo, he grew to appreciate her more and more. Even though Chu Luo was dressed as an extremely ordinary person at the time, Chu Luo found him interesting. The two became more and more familiar with each other, and Chu Luo found it amusing that he would blush when teased, so she often joked with him.

In his spare time, he would patiently and gently explain the words on the book to Chu Luo.

His concern for Chu Luo was always subtle and understated; he always did more than he said.

As time went on, Chu Luo noticed that Chen Shu's gaze towards her was starting to change; wherever she was, his eyes never left her.

Whenever Chu Luo turns around, he is sure to be staring at her intently.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, and Chu Luo couldn't be unaware that she actually liked the way he liked her.

The two began exchanging letters, and he expressed uncertainty about Chu Luo's feelings for him. He only knew that he enjoyed being with her; she was lively, bright, intelligent, kind, and understanding.

The two spent half a year together in Guanyu, a time of helping people and studying, which was tiring yet fulfilling.

Chen Shu didn't want to immerse himself in such days; if it could continue like this forever, he would be willing.

But things don't always go as planned. As the year draws to a close, his family is urging him to go home, and his classmates and friends are all leaving.

He put away his intention to express his love to Chu Luo, wanting to wait and say it later. He was afraid that Chu Luo would disagree, he was also afraid that it was too early to say it, and he felt that he had not yet achieved fame and success and would fail his parents' expectations...

He had too many concerns, and thinking that there was plenty of time in the future, he returned to Jiangcheng.

After the New Year, Chu Luo was tricked into returning home by Madam Chu using the excuse that her mother was sick.

She had already run away from her arranged marriage, and this time when she returned, she was kept under even stricter surveillance.

Madam Chu went around looking for a husband for her, wanting to marry her off. She could escape on her own, but she still had a mother who was still obsessed with her father.

She was thinking that if she could get married, she would want to marry Chen Shu.

She wrote a letter to Chen Shu, initially just telling him that she had also returned to Jiangcheng.

Chen Shu was overjoyed and began to reply. A day apart felt like three autumns. Chen Shu had not seen Chu Luo for many days, and his longing for her was like the tide over Guanyu, unstoppable.

This was the first time Chu Luo had ever liked someone. Chen Shu was a very good writer. Although he never said he liked her in his letters, they were full of affection and sincerity. This was one of the few moments of warmth she had during the days she was trapped in the Chu family.
