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

"I'm telling you, I'm sure I haven't misremembered this!"

"It's either late April or early May... it's definitely before the earthquake in Southwest China!"

"That day I had just returned from Yunaan. When I came out of the airport, the first thing I saw was you, Qingyan."

"A long black Bulgari trench coat, right? And he's pulling a large black suitcase!"

"At the time, I didn't recognize you... By the time I wanted to get a better look, you had already gone towards the security checkpoint."

"After that, I came out of the departure level passage to get a taxi."

"Then I saw Lin Ran pulling a white suitcase and going into the airport through another passage on the other side."

"Oh right, he was wearing a trench coat at the time, and I think he was wearing a plaid shirt underneath?"

"I wore the same outfit as when we went to karaoke during winter break!"

"Oh dear, I told you I have a good memory—Qingyan, you have to prove it for me..."

Sun Yi was still talking non-stop on the other end of the phone.

But at this moment, the sound became somewhat blurry and distant to Su Qingyan.

It felt as if an electric current had surged up her spine and rushed to her head, almost making her tremble and freeze in shock.

because……

Sun Qi's description is correct.

The outfit she mentioned in her words was indeed referring to herself.

Will not admit mistakes.

Similarly, regarding the outfit worn by that person at the airport at that time...

She remembers it perfectly clearly.

My boyfriend's suitcase is indeed white.

Aside from the trench coat, the only plaid shirt she owned was one she bought for him herself last spring while shopping at the mall, and it was the same one he wore home during winter break this year…

and so.

This wasn't drunken talk.

There's no nonsense.

After the gathering at Qian Gui KTV during the winter break this year, the couple chatted casually as they walked home.

They asked each other if they had been to the southwest last April.

They all denied it.

and so.

She lied.

--But.

Why would my boyfriend lie?

At that time, I took over the affairs of Junsheng Southwest.

The reason for his repeated trips to the southwest was to prepare as much as possible for the earthquake disaster before it struck.

--But.

—My boyfriend also quietly went to the southwest.

—And what is the purpose of this...?

……

My heart was already pounding and trembling violently.

She seemed to have already vaguely thought of an answer that almost made her heart freeze.

But she wasn't sure.

Barely managing to calm his wildly beating heart, he hurriedly hung up the call with Zheng Weiwei and Sun Qi.

Su Qingyan quickly pressed the number keys on her phone, trying to dial again.

At that moment, her fingers were trembling, and she almost pressed the wrong button several times.

After much difficulty, I finally managed to make a phone call.

After a few beeps.

Han Ling's voice came from the other end of the receiver:

"Hello...madam?"

"What's with you?"

Su Qingyan took a deep breath, trying to control her turbulent emotions and make her tone sound ordinary and calm.

But when I opened my mouth to ask that question, I still found my voice was a little dry and tight:

"Last April."

"Is Lin Ran...?"

"Have you been to the Southwest?"

A question without any reason.

This surprised Han Ling on the other end of the phone.

But before that, the proprietress had also chatted with her during a visit to Kaixin.com, asking her about many stories about Mr. Lin.

So she wasn't surprised at the moment. After trying hard to recall, she quickly gave her answer:

"Correct."

"I've been there."

"It must have been more than once."

"It was a business trip for a project."

"It was the 'Super Brain' mini-program that our company had just launched around that time."

Su Qingyan was suddenly stunned:

"The strongest brain?"

Han Ling on the other end of the phone readily nodded:

"correct."

"Back then, we were promoting 'The Brain' in schools."

"Originally, Mr. Kobayashi didn't need to go on the business trip himself, but he took this matter very seriously and even chose to go to such a far place in the southwest."

"After all, he was the one who proposed the entire 'Super Brain' project in the first place."

"This includes a variety of question bank solutions for Q&A competitions, different themes designed, and tailored to different cities and regions—"

"I remember the plan we devised for the Southwest region back then was..."

Han Ling was still trying to recall: "It's just..."

next moment.

But a slightly trembling female voice murmured in response:

"Geological Disaster Prevention Special Topic"

Han Ling on the other end of the phone suddenly slapped her forehead in realization:

"Correct!"

"It's about geological disaster prevention!"

"Boss lady, you have such a good memory! I remember that this topic was personally proposed by General Manager Lin at the meeting!"

"And I never expected... that this special feature had only just been promoted in universities in the southwest region when the earthquake struck!"

"Many people in the southwest region have actually avoided disaster thanks to our popular science education on earthquake disaster prevention!"

"Later, everyone in our company was joking and talking about it—"

"Seriously, he truly lives up to his reputation as our CEO, Lin! So farsighted, so prescient! He even foresaw something like this, hahaha—"

……

The phone signal was poor.

Han Ling's voice was somewhat intermittent as she continued to enthusiastically talk about her boss, Xiao Lin's, ability to foresee the future.

But Su Qingyan was no longer listening to Han Ling's words.

My hand holding the phone even started to tremble slightly.

The moment the truth is revealed.

It was like a roar in her mind!

Kaixin.com

CSO.

Southwest China earthquake disaster.

The Brain.

Suddenly, the memory became incredibly clear again, and thoughts rushed in like a flood bursting its banks.

The Brain should not have been a game created by Kaixin.com in 2008.

In her memory, this game should have been a product released by another company many years later.

The concept of "making Happy Farm a public good" should not exist.

Ant Forest is probably a later invention.

【Happy Review】is the equivalent of 【Dianping】 in later times.

【Happy Sharing】is a clone of 【Xiaohongshu】.

The rating system that swept through campuses was likely to be the signature feature of Hupu (a popular Chinese sports forum) a few years later...

As memories from two lifetimes intertwine and overlap.

Each one is verified.

The truth of a certain answer seems to be about to be revealed at this moment.

She should have known.

She should have known better.

When so many "reasonable" things come together, it is itself the greatest irrationality.

Or rather.

The truly "reasonable" answer has always been there.

It's just that she subconsciously ignored and forgot about it time and time again.

Yes.

Who would have thought?

I used to think that everything was because of my arrival as a reborn person, like a butterfly flapping its wings.

But I never expected this.

In such a vast world.

Perhaps there was never just one butterfly.

……

My hand holding the phone was still trembling slightly, because of the turbulent emotions I was experiencing.

Behind her, Tibetan children emerged from the classroom, looking at the fairy-like older sister who had spent the entire morning with a mixture of confusion and worry.

Just a moment ago, he had such a warm and happy smile on his face.

At this moment, it seemed as if something serious had happened, and it seemed as if his emotions were no longer able to be contained.

Su Qingyan held her phone.

The call with Han Ling has just ended.

I went back to the first page of my contacts, and the first contact's name in the first line was that of my closest and most familiar friend, "Lin Erchui".

His chest heaved rapidly.

She wanted to press the call button for this note.

My fingers were almost touching it.

Yet an indescribable emotion suddenly made her feel fear and want to back down.

The truth is almost right before our eyes.

It seemed as if she was about to personally remove the veil covering it.

Yet, at this moment, she still couldn't help but feel uneasy and bewildered.

Can we really be sure?

Is it 80% or 90% certainty?

But what if the final outcome is that one out of ten percent, or even just one percent, of unexpected events?

When she asked that question to the person on the other end of the phone, filled with the greatest hope and expectation, she received a bewildered and shocked negative response...

[Could it be that I'm just overthinking things again?]

Such evidence—

Is there sufficient evidence?

Can you confirm this?

Can you be 100% sure?

Throughout two lifetimes.

Even the decisive and ruthless female CEO of Junsheng Group had never experienced such a moment of anxiety and uncertainty.

Just when you're about to muster up your courage, you seem to shrink back and lose all your courage in the next second.

At this moment, Su Qingyan held her phone, her mind in turmoil!

At this moment, the Tibetan children beside them seemed to have seen something ahead and suddenly burst into joyful cheers.

Then, he couldn't wait to run past Su Qingyan and excitedly sprinted towards the school gate.

In front of the school gate.

Two young women, probably in their early twenties, walked in carrying large bags of bread, snacks, and shopping supplies.

The children rushed towards him.

The two girls also had joyful smiles on their faces, patting one's head and pinching the other's cheek, chatting affectionately in fluent Tibetan.

immediately.

As if remembering something, the children pointed towards Su Qingyan on the steps in front of the classroom.

The two girls then looked over.

My first impression was of her cool and beautiful appearance.

Then it seemed as if they recognized something.

The two girls' eyes lit up immediately, their faces showing disbelief, excitement, and surprise.

"Why!?"

"You, you are... a legitimate couple!??"

……

Su Qingyan had not yet recovered from the turbulent and chaotic thoughts.

I had just heard a sudden, delighted shout from the other person and was instinctively looking up.

The two girls, however, couldn't wait any longer and quickly came forward, surrounding Su Qingyan and chattering excitedly:

"Oh! It really is!"

"That fairy-like sister on the couple's account on Kaixin001!!"

Wow, she looks even better in person than in photos!
