Time flies by, and it's sweet.
He Yanzhi and Guan Wenru were newlyweds, their happiness as sweet as honey.
He Yanzhi showered all his tenderness and care on his lover whom he had lost and found again, and Guan Wenru was completely immersed in this belated happiness.
They cooked together, took walks together, he taught her to ride horses, and she read books with him. Their days were ordinary but filled with small, warm moments.
Wan Tao eventually listened to Guan Wenru's advice and found a way to bring his elderly mother and two children from their hometown.
As Guan Wenru had predicted, Gu Siyu was indeed impatient and couldn't stand being wronged. She was incompatible with Aunt Wan's traditional values and lifestyle, and she lacked patience for her two stepsons who were at an age that even dogs wouldn't want to touch. After several encounters, conflicts frequently broke out.
Caught in the middle, Wan Tao was at his wits' end and finally gave up on the idea.
However, Gu Siyu seemed to be stuck in a rut, feeling that Wan Tao had let her down. She repeatedly came to Wan Tao's house to harass him, and even had a heated argument with Wan Tao's wife.
During an argument, Wan Tao finally lost his temper and said harshly to the outspoken Gu Siyu, "Gu Siyu! Listen to this! Even if I, Wan Tao, remain a bachelor for the rest of my life and grow old alone, I will never marry you! Forget about it!"
These words shattered Gu Siyu's last hope and self-esteem.
She was probably disheartened, or perhaps out of spite, and not long after, she hastily married an unknown soldier from an ordinary family in the cavalry regiment and was quickly transferred away from there.
This farcical unrequited love affair ended in such a hasty and regrettable way.
He Yanzhi, on the other hand, received a promotion order due to his military achievements and outstanding abilities, and will soon be transferred back to the Capital Military Region.
The sun was shining brightly on the day I left.
Guan Wenru looked at the place where she had lived for several years... a place filled with both pain and ultimately sweet memories, and her heart was filled with emotion!
But more than anything, it's about anticipation for the future.
She and He Yanzhi are finally about to embark on a new life together.
In this life... she didn't let He Yanzhi have any regrets!
...
After a long and winding journey, we finally returned to the capital.
Their new home was settled in the military compound.
Exhausted from their journey, the two rested early.
He Yanzhi quickly fell asleep, his arm still habitually wrapped around Guan Wenru.
Guan Wenru was also asleep, sleeping very soundly.
...
After an unknown amount of time... a strange feeling slowly pulled Guan Wenru out of her slumber.
It seems like... someone is watching her?
And... a very soft, suppressed sob?
Her eyelids felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and it took her a long and arduous effort to finally open them a tiny slit...
The blurry vision gradually focused…
The first thing that catches the eye is the familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling.
It's not the roof beam of that room in Courtyard No. 1, nor the snow-white ceiling of our new home in the capital...
It's more like... more like the east wing of the courtyard house in her memory...
She moved her eyes extremely slowly…
Then……
She saw it!
Three fluffy little heads were gathered around the bed!
Three identical boys, with chubby faces and around ten years old!
Their eyes were red and swollen like little peaches, and their faces were still wet with tears. They were staring at her intently, filled with love and immense sorrow!
Those eyebrows and eyes... those features... they are clearly a combination of a miniature version of He Yanzhi and herself!
Triplets?!
Guan Wenru's pupils suddenly contracted!
It felt like my heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, then suddenly released, and all the blood rushed to my brain!
Unbelievable shock and ecstasy overwhelmed her like a tsunami!
Is it still a dream? Or...?
She suddenly wanted to call out their names...
He Yi…
He Qi…
He Sheng…
She gave birth to triplets!!
She wanted to sit up, to reach out and touch them, to hold them tightly in her arms!
But... she was horrified to discover that she couldn't move at all!
Her body felt like it wasn't her own; it was heavy, numb, and completely unresponsive to her brain's commands!
Now, she can only move her eyeballs very slightly!
She couldn't make a sound!
Only a very faint... almost inaudible hoarse sound escaped from his throat!
Her unusual behavior was immediately noticed by her three children who were keeping a close eye on her!
He Sheng, who was closest to her, was the first to react. His eyes, red and swollen from crying, widened suddenly, his mouth forming an "O" shape. Filled with immense surprise and disbelief, his voice changed, and he screamed out in a shrill voice:
"Mom?! Mom! You're awake?! You're finally awake!! Dad! Grandma! Grandpa! Someone come quick! Mom has opened her eyes!!"
He Yi and He Qi, who were standing nearby, also became instantly agitated, their tears flowing even more fiercely. They rushed to the bedside, their voices trembling and choked with sobs, vying to call out:
"Mom! Mom! Can you see us?"
"Mom! It's me, He Qi! Do you recognize me, Mom?"
The children's excited yet fearful cries struck Guan Wenru's soul like the most real tolling bell!
This is not a dream!
She's awake!
She returned to this life where her parents and brothers were still alive, and she had married He Yanzhi from the very beginning, even having triplets with him!
Her children!
Her triplets!
Wow... he's already so big!
How long did she sleep?!
The children were right in front of her!
She's crying!
They're calling her!
The immense emotional shock was like a flood bursting its banks, instantly shattering all of Guan Wenru's mental barriers!
The chaotic fog has been completely dispelled!
Fragments of memories from past and present lives spun and collided wildly, finally fitting together perfectly!
She remembered!
I remember everything!
She is Guan Wenru! She is the factory manager of a feed processing plant! She is He Yanzhi's wife! She is the mother of He Yi, He Qi, and He Sheng!
At the market, she was stabbed by a thug while protecting her child and became a vegetable!
I've been in a deep sleep ever since!
And that long and vivid dream... was it her subconscious mind making amends and corrections for her regrets from her past life while she was in a coma?
Overwhelming joy, sorrow, bitterness, guilt, and endless longing for the three children before her... all these emotions intertwined, almost tearing her apart!
She desperately wanted to respond to the children, to hug them, to tell them that their mother was back!
Mom will never leave again!
But even with all her might, she could only manage a few violent tremors in her eyelashes, and a single, scalding tear slid down her cheek with difficulty…
But even this slight movement was enough to make the three children ecstatic!
"Mom cried! Mom really woke up!"
"Mom! Don't cry! We're all here! We miss you so much!"
"Dad! Someone, come quick!"
The children's cries, hurried footsteps, and screams from outside the door shattered the tranquility of the house.
Guan Wenru lay there, unable to move, only to have tears streaming down her face, soaking her pillow.
She finally... woke up!
