At Wenshu Junior High School, Liu Yue, Liu Xiaoling, and Yu Jingya all attended the same school.
Liu Yue often visited her younger sister Liu Xiaoling, and thus frequently encountered Yu Jingya.
As they spent more time together, they naturally became acquainted.
Every time they met, Yu Jingya and Liu Xiaoling would affectionately call Liu Yue "Big Sister," which made Liu Yue like this lively girl even more.
Avoid the gossiping older sister at the door.
Liu Feng carried a bunch of things out of the car and into the kitchen, inevitably getting a few more scoldings from He Qunfang.
Soon after, Liu Xiaoling and Yu Jingya arrived.
Liu Feng took out a large bag of spicy strips and gave one bag to everyone. Whether it was the child Lin Hao or the adult He Qunfang, they all said it was delicious.
When He Qunfang heard that Liu Changqing worked at this spicy snack workshop, she was overjoyed.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that this job was much better than working in the fields or carrying bricks on construction sites.
Yu Jingya ate spicy snacks in small bites, her big, watery eyes squinting as she smiled brightly.
She always stayed by He Qunfang's side, helping her wash vegetables and get plates, and would occasionally hand He Qunfang spicy snacks, which made He Qunfang praise her endlessly.
Liu Yue, watching from the side, couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up.
The room was filled with laughter and chatter, it was quite lively.
At dinner time, the Liu family's table was laden with a sumptuous feast, the aroma of which was mouthwatering.
Yu Jingya was a little reserved when she first visited the Liu family, but she quickly relaxed under the warm hospitality of the Liu family.
He Qunfang smiled and served her some food: "Jingya, don't be shy, eat more."
"Thank you, Auntie, your cooking is delicious." Yu Jingya smiled shyly, feeling both grateful and happy.
In rural areas, middle school students rarely have the opportunity to eat such a sumptuous meal.
Life was really tough; we might not even get to eat meat once a week.
At school, we ate pickled vegetables. When we got home, our parents rarely bought meat. We could only have a proper meal during holidays.
"Eat as much as you like, don't be shy." He Qunfang continued to enthusiastically serve her food.
Yu Jingya glanced at Liu Feng shyly.
Fearing she might have some concerns, Liu Feng said gently, "Jingya, eat as much as you can. This beef is especially delicious; you should try some too."
As he spoke, he personally served Yu Jingya a large spoonful of beef, and then took the lead in eating it heartily.
Liu Yue and He Qunfang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a strange smile.
At the dinner table, everyone ate and chatted, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Although Liu Feng didn't talk much, he frequently cast caring glances at Yu Jingya, making her feel warm.
She glanced at Liu Feng again, a special feeling welling up inside her—the affection that had quietly arisen since their first meeting.
She lowered her head, her heart beating faster than usual.
After the meal, Liu Feng suggested that everyone play cards to get to know each other better.
During the card game, Yu Jingya displayed her cleverness and quick wit, having a great time with the Liu family.
Liu Feng observed quietly from the side, occasionally offering suggestions that drew cheers from everyone.
It was late at night, and Liu Xiaoling prepared to take Yu Jingya home to rest.
Liu Feng, carrying a lantern, went out to see him off.
He and Yu Jingya followed side by side behind Liu Xiaoling on the muddy path, where some potholes were still filled with rainwater.
This was the first time Liu Feng had ever used a lantern since his rebirth, and with his cultivator's eyesight, it was completely useless.
He forgot to buy some flashlights for the family.
They walked slowly, and Liu Feng would occasionally remind Yu Jingya to watch her step and avoid some mud pits.
The orange glow of the lanterns danced on the muddy path, adding a touch of warmth and light to the dimly lit trail.
The chirping of insects nearby and the barking of dogs in the distance mingled with the footsteps of the three people, creating a beautiful nocturne.
"Thank you for today, Sister Liu Yue. If it weren't for me, Sister Liu Yue wouldn't have been beaten..." Yu Jingya said remorsefully.
"It's not your fault, it's just that the other party was too arrogant and domineering," Liu Feng comforted him.
"If I were the one who got hit this time, what would you do?" Yu Jingya asked softly.
Liu Feng smiled slightly and said, "I'll beat him until he begs for mercy. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can call me using my older sister's phone, and I'll definitely help you."
Yu Jingya nodded, looked up at Liu Feng, her beautiful eyes shining brightly in the night.
She said earnestly, "Liu Feng, you are such a good person, I... I admire you very much."
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng felt a strange sensation, but he quickly concealed it and laughed, "It's nothing, helping you is the right thing to do, after all, you're Sister Xiaoling's friend and my old classmate."
The two chatted all the way to Liu Xiaoling's house. When they parted, Yu Jingya mustered up her courage and whispered, "Liu Feng, I...I have something for you."
She took a small envelope out of her pocket and handed it to Liu Feng.
Liu Feng took it, pulled out the letter, and glanced at it.
Yu Jingya lowered her head shyly and turned to leave.
Liu Feng quickly called out to her, "Yu Jingya, wait a moment."
Yu Jingya nervously turned her head to look at Liu Feng, her bright eyes seeming to glisten with tears.
"Liu Feng, do you think I'm not a good girl?"
“No, you’re a good girl,” Liu Feng quickly replied. “Actually, I wanted to tell you a story.”
In this life, he received Yu Jingya's letter six months earlier than expected, which immediately touched his heartstrings.
He didn't want to hurt the girl in front of him anymore.
In his past life, Liu Feng was a dull and taciturn boy.
When he received Yu Jingya's letter, he simply replied with four irrelevant words: "You are very beautiful."
Liu Feng replied very honestly with those four words.
Because Yu Jingya is indeed very beautiful.
In junior high school, many boys pursued her, but she never gave them a kind look, except for Liu Feng, whom she was particularly fond of.
They often blocked Liu Feng's classroom door or had someone pass him a note asking him to leave.
Liu Feng was at a loss and his face turned red.
Later, Yu Jingya dropped out of school and went to work in another city with her parents. She would write to Liu Feng every month until the day she got married.
But at that time, Liu Feng had someone else in his heart, a girl who was getting further and further away from him.
He never had the courage to confess his feelings like Yu Jingya did. By the time he finally mustered the courage, she was nowhere to be found.
That girl was Wang Juan.
Coming to his senses, Liu Feng said gently to Yu Jingya, "Do you believe that we knew each other in our past lives?"
To Liu Feng's surprise, Yu Jingya replied, "I believe that from the moment I first saw you, I believed that we must have met in our past lives."
"Did you ever like me in your past life?"
