After talking it out, both of them felt much more at ease. All those worries and hesitations were gone, and they were left with only the peace of enjoying life.
Lan Shuang and Jiang Mu faced aging calmly. At the end of their lives, they held each other's hands tightly, said nothing, pressed their lips together, gave each other a last kiss, and closed their eyes at the same time.
After returning to the system space, Lan Shuang touched her lower lip. 888 came to her and asked, "Host, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to rest?"
Lan Shuang slumped in the chair for a moment and asked, "Is there a fresher world out there? These are all too heavy lately."
888 thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Yes, how about the campus? Let me give you a taste of my youth."
"That's great!" Lan Shuang suddenly jumped up from her chair. "A university campus? You can just date right away, that's great, and there aren't so many rules. This is it!"
As she spoke, she walked towards the teleportation array, not noticing 888's unnatural expression.
888 silently opened the teleportation array, waved at Lan Shuang, and whispered, "This isn't a university campus, host. This is a high school campus. You have to take the college entrance exam again."
The smile on Lan Shuang's face suddenly froze.
She was just about to scold 888 for being unreliable when the formation started to work and teleported her away with a whoosh.
Lan Shuang: “…”
…
The darkness receded like a tide, and there was a sudden noise in her ears. Someone bumped into her body. Lan Shuang opened her eyes and looked over. She saw a boy wearing a dark blue school uniform and a backpack, holding a basketball. He turned around apologetically and was about to apologize, but when he saw her, his face changed and he walked away quickly.
Lan Shuang: “?”
The memory came to her at this moment, Lan Shuang's eyes went dark, and she quickly retreated to stand under a big willow tree.
Turning around, I saw a dense crowd of people, all wearing the same color school uniform.
It’s just that the colors of the lines on the sleeves and the trouser seams are different. She looked down at her sleeves and saw that the two lines on her sleeves were dark gold, which looked pretty good.
888 said guiltily, "Host, you are in your second year of high school now. I have sent you all the information. Take a good look at it. This mission is not too difficult. Work hard and you can enjoy life once you finish it!"
Lan Shuang closed her eyes and said sinisterly, "Thank you."
888 immediately pretended to be dead.
…
The original owner of this body was a transfer student who had just entered the second year of high school. He did not go to school here before, but to an aristocratic private high school in a first-tier city. His original plan was to go abroad after graduating from high school, attend university abroad, and then return to China to work after graduation.
This was her original dream, because she liked the city abroad very much and planned to travel while studying.
However, this beautiful fantasy was shattered after a ruthless accident.
The original owner was very fair and beautiful, with eyes of a special amber color, like a doll. In addition, her family was rich, so she was very popular in school, like a little princess surrounded by stars.
She was the only daughter of her parents, and later her father adopted a son, who was the orphan of a painter friend of his.
It was the product of a one-night stand when he was young. The woman abandoned the child and disappeared without a trace. The painter was handsome and romantic but suffered from severe depression. As he grew older, he became more and more withdrawn. Finally, he could not live anymore and chose to commit suicide after finishing his last painting.
The child was only six years old at that time and his name was Mu Yan.
The original owner's father felt sorry for him and adopted him into his home to keep him company with his little daughter, and he didn't ask him to change his name.
Mu Yan is four years older than the original owner and gives in to her in everything. Although he is taciturn, he is very considerate. The original owner used to like him very much and their family relationship has always been harmonious.
But the good times did not last long. In the second half of the original owner's freshman year in high school, the Lan family's original business encountered financial problems. When Lan's father was trying to raise money, his partner ran away with the money, leaving him alone in the mess. The company was on the verge of collapse overnight. The projects on hand had no money to go on, and the bank was urging him to repay the money. Soon the company could not sustain itself and went bankrupt.
Dad Lan ran around to fill the hole. One rainy night, he had a car accident because the driver of a large trailer truck on the opposite side was driving due to fatigue. When the police arrived, half of the car was already hanging in the air. Dad Lan died on the spot and there was no chance to rescue him.
When Lan's mother heard the news, she almost fainted. She rushed over with her two children, knelt on the ground and cried.
The original owner's good days ended at this time.
Lan's father passed away, and the money they borrowed was only enough to cope with the situation for a while. Soon, debt collectors came to their door and blocked them every day and refused to leave unless they paid. Lan's mother was under too much pressure and was hospitalized many times. The original owner's treatment in school also plummeted. Those who knew her family situation could not help but sneer at her and add insult to injury. Her usual "good friends" also drew a clear line with her, for fear that she would ask them to borrow money.
The original owner gradually became silent and introverted. Mu Yan was busy taking care of Lan's mother and the original owner, struggling to support himself.
The original owner felt even worse, and later all the villas in the family were sold. Mother Lan scraped together money to make up for half of the shortfall, and moved to this city with the original owner and Mu Yan. This was her hometown, and she had an old house to live in.
The original owner was also transferred to the high school here. Because she was busy making money to pay off debts, Mother Lan came home less and less often, and the original owner couldn't see her. Mu Yan also had to go to college, and worked several jobs in his free time to make money, so the original owner was left alone at home.
She couldn't help, so she started to give up on herself and overeat. Soon after a holiday, she had become fat and was getting fatter.
Her personality also became gloomy and depressed. After transferring here in her second year of high school, she stopped communicating with anyone and gradually became isolated, which aggravated her psychological problems.
Instigated by some people with ill intentions, she began to confess her feelings to Gu Bo, the top student and school idol.
After being rejected several times, Gu Bo said some harsh words. The original owner was ridiculed and mocked by those people. She was overwhelmed and jumped from the building, ending her life which should have been brilliant and beautiful.
…
Lan Shuang couldn't help but lament when she saw this: "Family really has a huge impact on a child, but being able to enlighten oneself is also very important."
888: "Yes, host."
"Many times, choosing death is actually an impulse. If you calm down and think about it carefully, it is unnecessary."
Lan Shuang looked at the young faces coming and going, "Besides, she is still so young, there are still many possibilities in the future."
888 sighed, "So her wish is to study hard, cheer up, not make the same mistakes again, not make her mother and brother sad, and apologize to them for disappointing them."
Lan Shuang nodded: "I understand."
"So the time I've traveled through now is the last time she confessed her love and got rejected, right?"
"Yes, host. It was this time that she suddenly woke up after being stimulated. Unable to face reality, she chose to commit suicide."
Lan Shuang was silent for a moment, then shook her head as she watched Gu Bo appear in her field of vision. "Then I won't confess this time."
This life will probably be longer
