"Yaoyao, I don't know why, but I keep having the same dream lately. In the dream, you suddenly have a younger brother, and my parents even betrothed me to him."

"How could that be? The only person you'll marry is Xu Yan, not anyone else."

"But that dream was too real. That person seemed... seemed to be named Xu Ruo. And in my dream, Xu Yan wasn't your biological brother; Xu Ruo was. It's really strange."

"That's even more impossible. I only have one younger brother, Xu Yan. There's no such person as Xu Ruo, and I don't know anyone like that. You just haven't been resting well lately, is it because you're a freshman in college and not used to it yet?"

"Maybe..."

Listening to the conversation inside, I subconsciously stopped in my tracks.

At that moment, my heart began to beat at an extremely fast speed.

If I'm not mistaken, those voices belong to Gu Nianci and Xu Yao.

But what Gu Nianci said...

Is it a dream?

Could it really be a dream?

What she described was clearly my experience in my previous life.

How could such a thing happen?

"Afraid to go in?"

While I was lost in thought, Gu Lianyi's voice interrupted my thoughts. At this moment, she was no longer as suddenly cold as before, but just looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I shook my head slightly, then took a deep breath.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

"But I think I just heard them talking about Xu Ruo inside."

"I remember your name is also Xu Ruo..."

Gu Lianyi looked at me.

"A coincidence, perhaps," I shrugged. "But didn't you tell me you were just here to meet your arranged marriage partner?"

Gu Lianyi said helplessly, "I don't know what's going on either."

"But they're all the same age."

"Judging from the voices, one is Xu Yao from the Xu family, and the other is my younger sister, Gu Nianci."

When Gu Nianci was mentioned, Gu Lianyi's expression became much more complicated.

"But since we're here, we might as well stay here."

"Consider it helping me resolve this matter," Gu Lianyi said apologetically. "I'll give you some compensation later."

"No need," I shook my head. "Let's go inside."

Gu Lianyi nodded slightly, but I could sense that she seemed to be thinking about something.

However, she didn't say anything more and went straight inside.

There were indeed three people in sight.

Gu Nianci, Xu Yao, and Wang Tianfang.

Gu Nianci and Xu Yao looked quite young at this time.

If I do the math, Gu Nianci and I are the same age, eighteen.

Xu Yao is a year older, but only nineteen.

Both of them were young girls.

They were whispering to each other.

Wang Tianfang sat silently to the side.

Upon seeing us, all three of us looked up at the same time. Gu Lianyi took my hand and walked in gracefully. "I'm sorry I'm late."

When Wang Tianfang saw Gu Lianyi, a gentlemanly smile immediately appeared on his face.

He stood up and said, "It's never too late for Miss Gu to come."

But as soon as he finished speaking, his gaze fell on me again. When he saw that Gu Lianyi was holding my hand, his face suddenly darkened.

But he quickly smiled again and looked at me, saying, "And who is this?"

Gu Nianci and Xu Yao, who were standing nearby, also looked over.

Gu Lianyi smiled slightly and introduced, "This is my boyfriend."

"Xu Ruo".

"Xu Ruo?" Upon hearing my name, Gu Nianci was visibly taken aback and asked uncertainly, "Sister, you said his name is Xu Ruo."
