The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

Su Qingyan had a dream.

In her dream, she was thirty-four years old, with a net worth of billions and a successful career.

Although she has been single for many years, it has only allowed her to devote all her energy to her work, which she enjoys immensely.

Until that torrential rainy night.

The two enormous beams of light from the overloaded heavy truck shattered the night and pierced through layers of rain as it arrived.

She realized what was happening too late and couldn't dodge in time. At that moment, she was almost ready to despair and accept her fate.

Suddenly, a figure appeared and lunged forward, pushing her away with all its might.

In that instant, she turned around in a daze.

This was the first and last time I saw the other person's face clearly.

He must have been a man around my age, with a handsome and warm face beneath his tousled black short hair. For some reason, I also felt a sense of familiarity and warmth towards him.

At the funeral, the man was awarded a medal for his bravery.

The other party's parents, who had rushed from their hometown overnight, were overwhelmed with grief as they supported the coffin, almost fainting from crying uncontrollably.

She turned down all business collaborations and official business, dressed in black gauze, and burdened with immense grief and self-blame, she diligently took on all the arrangements for the funeral, conscientiously handling all the big and small matters.

After the funeral, the parents of the benefactor were taken back to the hotel.

She knelt down before the two elders and kowtowed three times.

She solemnly vowed that from now on she would take on the responsibility of supporting her savior's parents, and that she would be their most considerate daughter and most dutiful daughter-in-law.

The two elders took their benefactor's coffin back to their hometown.

She was surprised and astonished to discover that the other person was from the same hometown as her, both being from Yunan.

Moreover, the name of her benefactor, whom she learned on the day of the car accident—Lin Ran—gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It felt as if we had met before.

Upon arriving home, despite Lin Ran's parents' advice, she insisted on taking on the responsibility of caring for the elderly couple and cleaning the house, naturally embracing her roles as a daughter and daughter-in-law.

After cleaning the living room and master bedroom, she went to Lin Ran's room.

This was also the first time in her life that Su Qingyan had entered a man's bedroom alone.

According to the elderly couple, their son stopped living at home after graduating from high school, so the room contained traces of Lin Ran's boyhood before he turned eighteen.

Standing there, looking around, every game disc, magazine poster, certificate, and every detail seems to reflect the boy from back then.

Until she inadvertently discovered the photograph hidden beneath the glass of the desk—

Graduation photo of Class 30, Grade 11, 2006, Yunan Middle School.

……

The gold-embossed lettering caught her eye, and she felt as if she had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.

dizzy.

My head is buzzing.

Then, almost frantically, she searched through the photos and found her 18-year-old self, looking aloof and proud, radiant and captivating, the undisputed focus of the entire group photo.

And then there was that quiet, shy boy, standing lazily in the most inconspicuous corner of the crowd with his head drooping.

Then I remembered everything.

The torrent of memories rushes back, and the sealed time slowly unfolds the film reel of the past.

So this is the Lin Ran I know.

A sense of déjà vu means that you already know each other.

It wasn't a chance encounter between strangers who bravely stepped forward; it was a long-awaited reunion between former high school classmates after more than a decade. Before they could even catch up, they hastily risked their lives to help each other.

Staring blankly at the photo, she suddenly burst into tears.

She only had a vague impression of her high school deskmate, and even recalled that she had never had a formal conversation with him.

But now she owes him a debt of gratitude that she can never repay in her lifetime.

Fortunately.

She also has plenty of time to slowly get to know him again.

Lin Ran has had the habit of writing a diary since she was a child, and a whole stack of her diaries from childhood to adulthood is piled up on the bookshelf.

After hesitating for a long time, and after obtaining permission from Lin Ran's parents, she began to look through Lin Ran's diary.

The diary entries are detailed and fragmented, ranging from what Lin Ran ate each day to his entire student life.

She started flipping through the first diary, and while reading it, she couldn't help but laugh at some of the interesting stories, or feel empathy and heartache for the sad and heartbreaking things Lin Ran recorded.

gradually.

She discovered that her high school deskmate was actually so upright, brave, and kind, possessing so many qualities that she didn't know and admired.

slowly.

She was completely immersed in these diaries, feeling Lin Ran's joys and sorrows, and she herself seemed to experience joy, sadness, happiness, and depression along with him.

It was as if she and Lin Ran had established an unprecedentedly close connection on a spiritual level.

Like a true soulmate.

When she flipped to her high school diary entries, she was even surprised to find that she herself was mentioned in the diary.

It turns out that this introverted and shy high school classmate had once secretly liked her, but she never had the confidence and courage to admit it.

【coward……】

If only I could live my life again—

Let me take the initiative to pursue you.

Lying on Lin Ran's bed that night, before falling asleep, she couldn't help but daydream like this, a slight smile curving her lips.

But when she fell asleep, it was as if she had entered a dark world.

In the boundless darkness.

She saw what appeared to be Lin Ran's figure drifting in the distance.

Suddenly!

A heart-wrenching, intense pain, a heavy, overwhelming sadness, and a wave of self-blame and guilt surged over me!

It made her subconsciously and desperately reach out to the other person.

It seems so close, yet it always just slips by a little bit.

She was so anxious she almost cried.

A strong sense of resentment, regret, and remorse filled my chest!

They refused to give up.

They struggled desperately to keep stretching their arms forward.

A little bit.

Just a little bit closer!

at last.

Through her persistent and determined efforts, her outstretched hand finally touched the other person.

As if she had found a treasure, she desperately mustered her last bit of strength, lunged forward, and tightly grasped the other person's hand, their fingers intertwined!

Suddenly.

Darkness collapsed.

The surroundings seemed to gradually brighten.

I could faintly hear the familiar roar of my high school homeroom teacher from over ten years ago—

On the last row of desks in the fourth group, Su Qingyan propped herself up on her arms, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she slowly sat up.

Then, to my astonishment, I found myself in a bright and clean classroom.

The air was humid and hot.

The surrounding environment and everything felt both distant and familiar.

Looked up.

She met the gaze of the person sitting next to her.

The boy had delicate and handsome features, and his fluffy, messy black hair was so soft it seemed almost easy to ruffle.

Su Qingyan recognized the other person without any difficulty.

In an instant, her eyes reddened.

A complex mix of emotions—excitement, joy, heartache, and relief—overwhelmed her, and without a second thought, she threw herself into a tight embrace, disregarding the stares of everyone around her.

Amidst a tremendous roar and uproar.

Su Qingyan choked back tears, her voice trembling with sobs:

"I found you!"

……

The fragrant breeze blows in my face.

Nephrite is in my arms.

Because of the huge uproar from the students in the classroom, I didn't hear the beautiful school beauty's classmate sobbing on my shoulder.

Lin Ran was completely dumbfounded at that moment.

A giant question mark seemed to slowly rise above my head—

【What the hell? 】

【what's the situation? 】
