Many years later, on Su Jin's twenty-ninth birthday.
It was also the year she became an outstanding young entrepreneur.
In recent years, she has returned to her hometown and contributed to its development.
Her former fans in the entertainment industry could often see her on Channel 13 and Channel 17.
They will share pictures of their own TV in the super topic.
Su Jin in the picture looks exactly the same as she did a few years ago, except that her hair is much shorter, her face is a bit tanned, and she is dressed simply.
They introduced the rice paddies and local delicacies to the villagers.
During an interview, the host asked her, "What do you think about the comments online that you made your fortune because of your ex-husband?"
Su Jin's expression remained unchanged.
Only I know how difficult this journey has been.
However, it is also a happy one.
"I used capitalists' money to redistribute resources, to give back to the people of my country and to my hometown. I, Su Jin, have a clear conscience. I wonder if the person who asked this question has ever eaten rice produced in my hometown?"
...
Su Jin walked slowly through the rice paddies, the setting sun casting shimmering light on the water like tiny gemstones.
The light of dusk filled the gullies and ravines of the land.
Just as she was immersed in the warm atmosphere, her phone rang. "Hello?"
It was Lin Shi. "Oh, the busy man finally answered the phone! So, where are you going to celebrate your 29th birthday?"
Su Jin chose to celebrate her birthday in autumn, not for any other reason than that autumn is the harvest season.
"Hmm, I haven't decided yet."
It feels like just yesterday what happened with the system.
It seems I've broken the curse that I'll die before the age of twenty-nine.
After finishing her call with Lin Shi, Su Jin got up to go home.
I saw a figure moving around in the rice paddy.
Su Jin wanted to go up and remind him that it was time to go home for dinner.
"Why……"
She stopped talking and went up to take his straw hat off.
The man felt a chill run down his spine and frantically tried to cover his face.
"Gu Xingze?"
The person whose name was called froze and slowly lowered their hand.
"Haha... What a coincidence."
Su Jin crossed her arms and found it amusing. "You mean, you just happened to travel hundreds of kilometers from the city to get here, just happened to come into my village, and just happened to run into me here?"
Gu Xingze chuckled awkwardly twice.
"I just thought the scenery here was nice, so I came to take a look."
He must be over thirty by now, yet he's still so immature.
Su Jin returned the hat to him.
"I'm going back now, bye-bye."
Gu Xingze hurriedly pulled his feet out of the field, and without even wiping them, he grabbed his shoes and followed after them.
"Go back where?"
"You're asking a stupid question. Of course I'm going back to my own home."
Gu Xingze asked in a low voice, "Can I come to your place?"
"Huh?" Su Jin stopped in her tracks. "Has the Gu family gone bankrupt? I haven't heard anything about it. Otherwise, how come you don't even have money for a hotel?"
Gu Xingze didn't dare to raise his head; even at thirty, his imposing presence seemed diminished by her.
"No... I came in such a hurry that I didn't bring any money."
Su Jin took out fifty bills from her pocket. "Here you go. You don't need to pay me back the rest."
When she got to her front door, she habitually took the mail out of the mailbox.
In this day and age, very few people write letters anymore.
However, Su Jin and Shen Yanxiu agreed to write letters to each other.
Why are you still following me?
Gu Xingze rubbed his nose. "I want to talk to you. It's been so long, hasn't it?"
"What's there to say?"
Even so, Su Jin still let him in; it wouldn't look good to turn someone away.
I opened the letter sent by Shen Yanxiu.
"The world I haven't seen for so long, I often think of it."
The osmanthus flowers by the door are in bloom; I imagine you smell just like them, bringing me joy.
"I've prepared your birthday present. I'll rush back to celebrate your birthday, wish you happiness, and give you a hug."
"I am very happy living here."
"How fortunate I am to love you."
Su Jin closed the letter.
"What are you looking at? Why are you laughing like that?"
Gu Xingze's eyes kept glancing at her hands, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
"What's it to you?"
Su Jin got up, intending to go to her bedroom to sleep.
"You can sleep on the sofa, but don't touch my things."
"Wait a minute," Gu Xingze said.
"Jinjin...why haven't you come even once? Am I really that annoying to you?"
He was referring to Luo Feifei's murder four years ago, during which he lay in the hospital for a long time, and Su Jin never visited him.
"Didn't I already ask you on WeChat? Even if I go to see you, I'll just say the same things. What's the difference?"
Gu Xingze opened his mouth, his eyes drooping.
"No."
That's all he could say. He's not a young man anymore, and he can't resort to those tantrums and tantrums.
That's what he thought, but as soon as he saw Su Jin, he couldn't help but stick close to her.
For the next few days, he stayed at Su Jin's house under the pretext of cooking for her.
This has caused the old lady next door to stop introducing young men to Su Jin.
However, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief. At first, in order to avoid her aunt introducing her to boyfriends, she lied and said that her two previous boyfriends had both died, claiming that she was a jinx to her husbands.
Unexpectedly, the old woman became even more excited, "That's because they have bad luck! They don't have that kind of fortune, unlike us, who have very strong lives! We're definitely not afraid of being cursed."
When the day arrived for Shen Yanxiu's arrival, Su Jin went to the station to pick him up.
Years have passed and his features have become gentler. The scars on his arms have faded, but the deepest one on his wrist is still very noticeable.
"A Jin."
Su Jin gave him a hug.
