When Chen Bing came to her senses again, she found herself on a high-speed train, with her classmate Shang Yunmiao fast asleep next to her. Shang Yunmiao's head was resting on her shoulder, and her two little hands were still tightly holding her arm.

Wow, looks like you've got it.

I told you Chen Bing was a good guy.

Based on their clothing and appearance, Chen Bing deduced that they were on their way to and from university by high-speed train.

"Hey, Shang Yunmiao, I'm back."

He patted her shoulder without ceremony, and after the little girl woke up groggily, Chen Bing casually pinched her cheek.

"Hmm...what's wrong? Oh, it's you!" She finally realized who was next to her. "You're back?"

"Yes, you're back. Are you surprised?"

"It's not exactly a surprise." After saying this sincerely, Shang Yunmiao tidied her messy hair and stared at Chen Bing for a while.

"It really is different now. Her skin tone seems a bit darker, and she looks a little more muscular. Her temperament has changed too. She used to be very serious and earnest, but now she seems more mischievous."

With one hand resting on Shang Yunmiao's shoulder, Chen Bing listened to her story with great interest.

After saying all that, Shang Yunmiao fell silent again, simply staring blankly at him.

"What? Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"Hmm... I did have it, but I forgot about it when I actually met you."

Chen Bing smiled, thinking that although Shang Yunmiao in the dream was more independent and mature than the real Shang Yunmiao, she was still essentially a bit dull.

"If you don't ask me, then I will ask you: how old are you now, and what year of college are you in?"

"Twenty-one years old, a junior in college."

When are you going to confess your feelings to Chen Bing?

Upon hearing these teasing words, Shang Yunmiao immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

"No, don't try to tease me... He confessed his feelings to me about three months before the college entrance exam... I promised him that if we could get into a university in the same city, I would say yes to him."

"Oh~ how about it? I'm pretty good, right? I've been really good to you since we got together, haven't I?"

Shang Yunmiao blushed slightly and nodded silently.

"Have you told him about me?" Chen Bing asked again.

"No... I think it's a secret of mine."

With a smile, Chen Bing wisely reminded her, "I suggest you say it sooner rather than later. With your idiotic manner, he must have already noticed."

Seeing the girl nod, Chen Bing thought that Xiao Shang probably had this plan in mind all along.

"Really nothing you want to ask me? I probably don't spend much time here each time."

Upon hearing this, Shang Yunmiao became slightly anxious. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Then... then may I ask, what does Chen Bing like the most? Our third anniversary is coming up soon, and I want to give him some gifts."

"A gift?" Chen Bing thought about what she would want, and then immediately came to an answer.

Have you ever done anything adult-like with me?

Shang Yunmiao avoided eye contact, clearly embarrassed by the question. After a struggle, she finally overcame her psychological barrier and nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Hmm... I did it for our first birthday together after we got together..."

Asking such a question to a little girl, I guess I really am a bad person~

"Then I know what you should give her." Chen Bing smiled mischievously and casually put his arm around Shang Yunmiao's shoulder, while the girl raised her eyes and listened attentively.

"I reckon Chen Bing is usually very polite and gentlemanly towards you, right?" Seeing Xiao Shang nod, Chen Bing continued, "Although he may seem very serious, he's actually a repressed pervert. He definitely watches a lot of porn and likes, and his favorite type is the younger sister type."

For the anniversary, dress sweetly, like a cute, clean white dress, and remember to call him "brother" a few more times. Also, he really loves feet, so remember to wear white socks.

The young woman in the dream seemed even more proper and innocent than in reality, so upon hearing these lewd remarks, she was immediately stunned, even shocked. Of course, amidst this shock, there was also a touch of embarrassment.

"Haha, you're so cute."

Chen Bing pinched Shang Yunmiao's cheek again, noticing that the train was about to enter a field of light. Knowing his subconscious nature, he knew he would have to move on to another location after entering this light.

So he spoke again to say goodbye to Shang Yunmiao.

Are you leaving again?

Chen Bing nodded uncertainly, "About five seconds left, four, three..."

"Then, then, then, please don't come if it's on your wedding day!"

For a moment when the light flashed, Chen Bing's expression froze slightly, then she smiled again.

It seems Chen Bing is really capable; he managed to coax Shang Yunmiao to this extent...

Opening his eyes, Chen Bing thought he was probably going to disappoint Shang Yunmiao, because he was currently in the backstage dressing room of the wedding banquet. Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Bing guessed that he was the protagonist of today's wedding.

Oh well, I'll be leaving soon anyway, I just need to make sure Xiao Shang doesn't notice.

As Chen Bing was thinking this, she saw the door to the dressing room suddenly open, and a familiar figure walked straight out from outside.

And he is...

Chen Bing?

That's strange. Why did you always possess me before, but this time and the time when I was a child you appeared alone?

Chen Bing stood up with great interest and looked at this guy who was not exactly the same as herself.

It was obvious that he was dressed in a suit and tie, and wore a pair of refined glasses. He looked very serious, excellent, and composed, which was quite different from his carefree personality.

When the composed Chen Bing saw him, a look of surprise appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared.

"You're the one Yunmiao was talking about... right? I used to wonder if I had a split personality, but now it seems I really don't."

"Oh~ Xiao Shang told you." Chen Bing walked up to Chen Bing, looked at him curiously for a while, and said, "Speaking of which, I even held you when you were little."

The usually composed Chen Bing was amused. He was speechless for a moment, then laughed and said, "What's that?"

The two men smiled at each other and pulled up chairs to sit down.

"Yun Miao isn't here, so why don't you tell me properly where you came from? Don't worry, I won't tell her."

"It's okay. The reason we didn't tell Xiao Shang the truth was just to tease her. It's fine if you tell her the truth..."

"This is a secret between us men."

A secret between men? Chen Bing was immediately intrigued by this idea. After pondering it for a while, he nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, let me tell you all about it. Actually, in my eyes, you are all my dreams."

"Lucid dream?"

“That’s right. It’s a bit silly to explain things to someone in a dream, but I’m thinking, what if this isn’t a dream, but something from a parallel universe? So I’ll explain it to you properly. Unlike you, I have two lives. In my previous life, Shang Yunmiao apparently died in an accident when she was five years old.”

"Is it the time she mentioned when you saved her?"

Chen Bing nodded, signaling him not to interrupt, and continued, "So I didn't meet her in my first life, but at the age of 24, I died from an accident falling from a high-rise building. When I came to my senses, I found myself back at the time of my birth. In my second life, I went to a different kindergarten, I think it was called Bilingual, and that's where I met Xiao Shang."

Isn't Xiao Shang's mother our junior high school Chinese teacher? In my past life, she took care of me when I was in junior high, so in my second life, I also took special care of her daughter. That's how we became familiar with each other.

Because of the memories of an extra lifetime, I displayed exceptional intelligence in my second life, which quickly won Shang Yunmiao's favor. Around when? Probably from the age of three.

When I was five years old, the accident didn't happen because of my presence, and I continued to live with Xiao Shang.

Life went on happily until two years ago when I married Xiaoshang, and then a few months ago she found out she was pregnant. This dream was just something I had on an ordinary night.

After listening to Chen Bing's explanation, the composed version of Chen Bing sneered and then said sarcastically, "How dare an adult lie to a little girl? You have such a thick skin."

Anyway, Chen Bing's shamelessness wasn't something that started just today, and he didn't care at all about the sarcastic remarks from his more composed self.

"Never mind that. Anyway, I've had Xiao Shang like me since I was three years old, that's a skill. Besides, this little girl has been treasuring things related to me since she was very young, and I take them out to look at them when I have nothing to do. Oh, right, she also often calls me brother. Ah, it's just so wonderful to think about."

Upon hearing this, the composed Chen Bing couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in her eyes.

"If I had the chance, I'd really like to show you those. Oh, by the way, where is Xiao Shang now? Is she wearing her wedding dress yet? Take me to see her."

The composed version of Chen Bing stood up warily, blocking Chen Bing's way and said, "Then don't even think about it. I have photos here. You can just look at the photos."

Tch, you stingy person. What's so great about photos? Do you think I care? When I get back this time, I'll dig out the wedding dress and let Xiao Shang wear it.

Although that's what she thought, Chen Bing still obediently stuck her head out to look at the photo on the screen.

So cute! Wearing a wedding dress makes her look even more ethereal than usual.

After admiring the view for a while, Chen Bing sat back down in her chair, crossed her legs, and said, "Is there anything else you want to ask me? I don't think I'll be here much longer."

The composed Chen Bing shook his head, indicating he had nothing to say. The two men then sat in their chairs, exchanging silent glances.

"What you just said actually answered a question that has puzzled me for a long time."

Chen Bing looked at the person opposite her with curiosity, wondering what kind of confusion this person in her dream could be experiencing.

"Although many people praise us as a destined couple after hearing the story of Yunmiao and me from childhood to adulthood, I often wonder if that's really the case? If fate takes an unexpected turn in some corner, will we really be together?"

Now, your appearance, your story, seems to be telling me that even if there are some setbacks on the journey, even a tragedy like her untimely death, fate will guide us towards our eventual reunion.

He smiled faintly and gently stroked the diamond ring in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Chen Bing felt a surge of emotion. Before he could fully process it, he felt himself being turned over, and when he came to his senses, he was already in his bed at home.

I woke up from the dream, and it seems...

Clenching his fist, Chen Bing tried to recall the dream he had just had.

But like a flood that has receded, when everything has gone, all that remains is a mess.

Chen Bing vaguely remembered having a deeply memorable dream, but he couldn't recall the specifics.

Hmm... it seems to be a dream about Xiao Shang. In the dream, she didn't seem to like me at first, but in the end, she couldn't escape my clutches and ended up with me.

Damn it, this little brat has gone too far! How dare she dislike me? No way, where's our wedding dress? I have to get it out for her to wear and then give her a good scolding!

Chen Bing thought this fiercely, then got up and found her in the kitchen preparing breakfast, and hugged her tightly from behind.

"Hmm... Brother, you're awake? I saw you were sleeping very soundly, so I didn't wake you..."

Chen Bing silenced Xiao Shang's rambling with her mouth, savoring her breath before letting go.

"I just had a dream."

After putting the spoon down, Shang Yunmiao turned around and hugged Chen Bing, asking softly, "What dream did you have?"

"I dreamt that you stopped liking me when we were in elementary or middle school, and it took me a lot of effort to win you back," Chen Bing recounted with a hint of resentment.

"What's so special about that?" Shang Yunmiao covered her mouth and chuckled. How could she possibly dislike Chen Bing? She wouldn't even dare to think about it. "But in the end, didn't you still manage to win me over?"

Nodding uncertainly, Chen Bing continued, "So it's like fate that we were destined to be together. But..."

"but?"

Chen Bing glanced at Shang Yunmiao, thinking that the doctor had said during her previous prenatal checkup that she should be able to conceive at four months.

"But how dare you not fall in love with me sooner? That's a heinous crime! I'm going to teach you a lesson tonight!"

A hint of anticipation—oh no, a slip of the tongue—was visible in Shang Yunmiao's eyes; it should be a hint of panic.

Panicked, Shang Yunmiao asked weakly, "Could you be a little gentler?"

"Of course." Chen Bing kissed Shang Yunmiao on the forehead with satisfaction, then let go of the girl and helped her prepare breakfast.

"Oh, right, Xiao Shang."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Did I tell you? Actually, I'm a reincarnated person..."

.

This book is complete.

Just a few simple words:

Thank you for the ending, and thank you everyone.

At this point, after a full year from planning to reality, this book has finally come to an end with a million words!

First, I must criticize myself. The beginning of the book was alright, but in the middle, when I was updating several times a day, the quality declined significantly in pursuit of quantity and revenue. Furthermore, a lot of inappropriate and vulgar content appeared, leading to the book being blacklisted and causing serious problems with the timeline of the entire book.

I sincerely apologize for failing to present a book that is as perfect as possible.

I should realize that the genre I write is slice-of-life and romance, and I should focus on producing high-quality content, rather than blindly pursuing word count and efficiency.

Towards the end of the book, due to the "little black room" incident, my long period of inactivity, my laziness, and my addiction to games, my update efficiency dropped again and again. I can only apologize for that.

After I've finished criticizing, let me say something positive.

As I write this part of the story, I am truly filled with emotion, moved that true love prevails and that I and everyone else have accompanied Mr. Chen and Xiao Shang through many years of their lives.

Novels that span from birth to marriage are probably rare in the realm of romance slice-of-life stories, right?

Come to think of it, my book's tag seems to be "urban farming," and I don't know what I was thinking when I was creating this book, choosing this emoji.

Getting back to the point, I really like both Mr. Chen and Xiao Shang's personalities; they are both aspects of my own personality.

Now that it's coming to an end, I feel a bit emotional, but if I think about it, I believe that Mr. Chen and the others will always live in our hearts.

As many of you know, I, Qingfeng, am a sophomore in college who earns a considerable income by writing novels in my spare time. Although my income plummeted after being blacklisted, it's worth noting that this book had over 200,000 readers in its peak month or two, generating over 10,000 yuan in revenue per month!

And all of this is inseparable from your heartfelt companionship. Thank you!!!

I still remember some of the readers' names vividly; I could probably recite more than a dozen if I wanted to. But there are simply too many to list in detail, so I won't go into too much detail due to space constraints.

There was one person who left a particularly deep impression on me, but I won't name him here.

They've been following my book since my very first one, for over a year now. I remember when the novel was banned and I was barely updating it, they still kept updating it every day at dawn, rain or shine, fueling my passion. I'm so grateful; I'll never forget that feeling.

Besides that, I generally remember most of the people who frequently post in the comments section, as long as they don't change their profile pictures and names.

Thank you everyone, thank you for being with me this past year.

To be honest, this is the first book I've ever properly finished, and I'm truly grateful. I have so much to say, but when I try to put it down, I don't know what to say. All I can say is thank you.

Finally, let me give you a quick plug. My new book, "After Rebirth, I Choose to Accept the Confession," is currently being updated at a leisurely pace up to Chapter 8. It should be getting back to a normal update schedule soon, since finishing the old book really saved me some trouble.

I won't go into too much detail here, because there's just too much to say.

Dear readers, the journey through the martial world is long, and I look forward to meeting you all again...
