Chapter 407 Extra: Lu Yunxiao’s Spring Dream (Dream 2)

Old Lady Lu seemed to be very perceptive, "You guys chat."

After grandma left, it took a while for Lu Yunxiao to speak, "You didn't listen to what I said."

"I just like you. Everything I do for you is my own will, but that doesn't mean I don't love myself. Loving you is like loving myself."

This is the eighteen-year-old Jiang Yi!

She dared to say any sweet words, which made him feel embarrassed to hear them in his previous life, so he asked her to restrain herself.

But at this moment, his heart almost melted, turning into a ball of heat that surged to his eyes. After several attempts to restrain himself, his fingers were almost broken before he resisted the urge to hug her.

"Do you know what love is? At your age, do you know how to love someone?"

"Why don't I understand?" She said unconvincedly, "I like you, I want to see you every day, I want to be with you, I want to treat you well, this is love. Is it that complicated?"

The girl had a pair of clear, beautiful eyes, full of the enthusiasm and fearlessness of an eighteen-year-old.

She only had eyes for him.

His Adam's apple rolled again and again, suppressing the surging emotions, "Then do you understand who I am? You don't know anything, you just know that I'm good-looking, so you fell in love with me at first sight. You imagined me to be the way you wanted me to be, but if you dig into my inner self, you will be very disappointed."

"You mean I'm superficial? Admittedly, I was attracted by your handsomeness at first, but I also got to know you. You respect your grandmother and mother, you work hard, rush to the front on missions, and take care of your comrades. Everyone praises you."

Lu Yunxiao laughed at himself, and looked at her with hot eyes, "Then do you know that there is someone in my heart? Do you know who it is?"

Jiang Yi felt as if she was stabbed, her face turned pale, "What did you say? Do you have someone in your heart?"

Her eyes widened. "I don't know, and I haven't heard of it. Are you lying to me?"

"I didn't lie to you. It's the girl you met yesterday. Her name is Su Wanqing. I liked her when she first went to the countryside as an educated youth. But she liked my brother Xiaofeng, so I suppressed this relationship."

Lu Yunxiao watched himself stretch out the dagger and stab her. It was like stabbing himself and it hurt so much. Everything he hadn't told her in his previous life, he confessed to her this time.

"Maybe Xiaofeng also knows that I liked Su Wanqing. I will marry you because I want him to feel at ease and use you to forget that person. In this case, are you still willing to marry me?"

Jiang Yi clenched her fists. "How could you do this? I can tolerate you not loving me temporarily, but I can't tolerate you having someone else in your heart."

"This is nothing, Jiang Yi." The knife had already been stabbed, and it hurt no matter what. "I came back from my previous life. What I just said was about my previous life."

She was stunned for a moment, "How...how could such a strange thing happen?"

"It's true. Although I had someone in my heart in my previous life, I decided to give up the thought. I was also moved by your careful care of me, and my grandma liked you, so I married you.

We had sex on the night of our wedding, and then you got pregnant. A year later, not long after you gave birth to your baby, my brother Sun Xiaofeng died while trying to save me. Before he died, he asked me to take care of his child, Sun Ye. Because I had too much contact with his widow, and because I was confused, I made you angry again and again. We quarreled, slept in the same room but not on the same bed, and later..."

He told everything that happened in his previous life.

Just skipped the part about Nie Can.

The more the girl listened, the paler her face became, until finally, she burst into tears.

"When the little fruit was here, I never gave you happiness. After the little fruit was gone, you and I tortured each other for thirty years. You hated me and never forgave me until you died. And I didn't even have the time to say the last word "I'm sorry" to you." His heart ached so much that his voice choked again and again.

"Even so, are you still willing to marry me?"

Jiang Yi was already crying. "I don't know. If what you said is true, I would tremble all over just listening to it, let alone experiencing it."

She wiped her tears, but they seemed to be gone. She cried, "Did you lie to me? Just to stop me from marrying you?"

Without waiting for his answer, she continued, "But I can't understand why you would use such an absurd reason. It's too unbelievable, even a TV series can't make it out. So, I think what you said is true."

"It won't be long before you know whether what I said is true." It was only more than a year since the earthquake.

"Go take the college entrance examination, Jiang Yi."

Jiang Yi stared at him blankly, tears still flowing.

"You have such good grades, you will be admitted to a very good university. Life is not only about love, but also about career, family, friends, and people who truly love you. They will also be waiting for you in the future."

As he said this, his heart was cut open again, and the smell of blood filled his nostrils.

"But I've skipped classes so many times just to pursue you, and the school said they want to expel me," Jiang Yi said.

"I will plead for you. There are still two months before the college entrance examination. It's not too late to review now. You must have confidence in yourself," he said.

Jiang Yi looked at him steadily, in a trance, in pain, and reluctant. Lu Yunxiao knew that he had cut a knife in her pure heart and also cut off her own halo. She was no longer stubborn. "I listen to you."

"Okay." He wanted to reach out and touch her head, but then pulled his hand back.

His injury had not healed yet, so he went to school in a wheelchair the next day.

He told the principal of No. 1 Middle School about Jiang Yi's situation. Because there were letters of guarantee from the village secretary and the army's political commissar Zhao, the principal also put her name back in because of Jiang Yi's good grades in the past.

He didn't meet her again before the college entrance examination.

But he went to see her secretly.

Seeing her walking into the campus chatting and laughing with her classmates, and seeing her concentrating on studying in the department, she seemed to have sensed something and turned around, but he had already walked away.

Political Commissar Zhao asked, "Boy, you really don't want such a good girl?"

"Yeah, I thought you were going to get married?" Sun Xiaofeng said, patting his shoulder, "But it's fine for her to be like this now. Wait until she gets into college, and then you can be together."

Looking at this former comrade-in-arms and brother, he felt extremely bitter.

This time, he would not let Xiaofeng die in the earthquake.

He kept his distance from Su Wanqing and no longer went to Xiaofeng's house. In his previous life, Xiaofeng was on a business trip, and Su Wanqing had her period and stomach pain and asked him to go, but he didn't go.

Li Meizhen looked strange, "Son, Su Wanqing was in so much pain and you didn't care."

"It's none of my business, why should I care? You should also stay out of it and have less contact with us."

Li Meizhen: “…Hey!”

She chased after him and asked, "Is there really no hope for you and that Jiang Yi?"

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

Li Meizhen pursed her lips, "Indeed, she is not worthy of you. Even if you marry her, I will not treat her well. Or, you and Qiu Xiaochu? I heard from her mother that Qiu Xiao has always liked you. You are from the same compound, so you know each other well."

Lu Yunxiao felt desolate in his heart, "I won't marry her, and I won't marry anyone else. Mom, you are destined not to have a grandson in this life."

"What did you say! Stop right there!" Li Meizhen stomped her feet behind him.

There are more than ten days left before the college entrance examination.

He bought a Hero brand pen for Jiang Yi and gave it to the principal, asking him to give it to Jiang Yi as a reward in the name of encouraging outstanding students.

He saw Jiang Yi going up on stage to receive the award, looking very excited.

The Hero brand fountain pen is finally back in her hands, and she will write a brilliant life.

What was Nie Can doing at this time? Probably on a mission, he thought.

The day of college entrance examination results announcement has arrived.

Lu Yunxiao estimated that he might be even more nervous than Jiang Yi, so he drove to the Yuncheng Education Bureau early.

He saw Jiang Yi and Jiang Yang riding their bicycles together. Jiang Yang was taller and squeezed through the other parents, so it took him a while to copy the grades.

But before he could come out, the principal of No. 1 Middle School was already shouting:

"Student Jiang Yi! 598 points! Yuncheng's top scorer in liberal arts!"

There was an expression of surprise and a little pride on her face.

The classmates surrounded her, and some boys even lifted her up high. The girl's smile was brighter than the phoenix flower on her head. She was as free as a butterfly.

Political Commissar Zhao next to him poked him, "Why don't you go up and congratulate him?"

How could he not want to go up? He wanted to hug her tightly and ask her if she still loved him and if she could marry him after she graduated from college.

"No." The earthquake in South City next March is coming soon.

When he turned the car around, he glanced in the rearview mirror. The girl who was held high up seemed to look at him, her face blank for a moment.

Lu Yunxiao heard that Jiang Yi was admitted to Shandong University with the first place in liberal arts in Yuncheng and the third place in liberal arts in the province.

On the day she received the admission letter, Jiang Yang held a banquet for her and invited the entire village to dinner. Comrades Lin Shuisheng, Lao Wu and others all attended.

But Nie Can didn't go.

Just like in his previous life, Nie Can fell down while performing a mission and is still in the hospital.

The next day, Lu Yunxiao accepted a mission and was going on a business trip for more than ten days. He prepared to go home and tell his grandmother.

"Captain Lu, someone is looking for you."

As soon as he arrived at the duty room, the guard called him, "Hey, Captain Lu, you are so lucky."

His heart skipped a beat.

Outside the door, the girl turned around somewhat nervously.

"I'm here to see you." Jiang Yi said.

At this time, the sky was full of sunset clouds, which made her body look red, as if she was bathed in fire. The smile on her face was beautiful and bright. "Thank you for your encouragement. I was admitted to Shandong University."

"Congratulations." He made his voice sound calm.

But only he knew that his heart was trembling and his body felt like it was being bitten by countless ants. "Study hard, you will become an excellent person."

He could leave, but he couldn't bear to leave.

"But I have a question." Jiang Yi said, "You said we had a son in our previous life. I guess he must be a cute little guy. Now that we are not married, what will happen to him? Is it... that tragedy is destined and cannot be avoided?"
