"You...you saw it all?" she asked, biting her lip.
Li Huai nodded. "The child was playing with that piece of paper and paper airplane at home, and I happened to see it."
It's over, it's completely over. Zhao Qinglan's mind went blank for a moment.
Seeing her stunned expression, Li Huai quickly said, "Only I saw that piece of paper, and I've already burned it. Qinglan, you don't need to worry about others finding out."
He burned them, so he wasn't burning insects that night. It turns out he already knew that night.
Zhao Qinglan felt that she was too stupid. Perhaps because she had been doing well since her rebirth, she was able to overcome any setbacks in the end, and thus lost the vigilance she should have.
Perhaps she was too comfortable at home.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "So you've been leaving early and coming home late these past few days, avoiding me?"
Yes, if it were her, after reading those contents, she would probably also think that this person has a problem.
Fearing his wife would misunderstand, Li Huai began to explain.
"Qinglan, I... I'm just afraid that I want to ask for an answer, but you might not be willing to answer."
Zhao Qinglan gave a wry smile.
Her rebirth was her biggest secret, one she planned to keep hidden for the rest of her life.
But to everyone's surprise, because of her negligence, it was exposed so early.
"What do you want to know?" She didn't know how to answer.
Looking at him, Li Huai asked seriously, "Qinglan, why did you write those things down?"
"Would you believe me if I said it was all just a guess?"
"As long as you say it, I believe it."
Looking into his trusting eyes, Zhao Qinglan couldn't bring herself to make up an excuse.
One lie requires countless more to cover it up.
Is she really going to make up an excuse to appease her closest people?
But if she doesn't make things up and tells the truth, will he think of her as a monster?
Thinking of her warm home and looking at her sleeping son not far away, her heart was filled with conflict.
Fine, she'll take the gamble.
The worst-case scenario is that Li Huai can't accept it, and she leaves with Xiao Duo and Sanwa.
Although this would make her very sad, compared to her previous life when she was all alone, now her mother and sister are by her side, her daughter is safe and sound, and she has also gained a son, so things are much better now.
Having made up her mind, she gritted her teeth and said, "I have something to tell you."
"You talk, I listen."
"This might sound bizarre, but anyway, let me explain." She didn't know how else to explain.
Bizarre? Li Huai's heart tightened upon hearing this word.
Could it be that his wife is some kind of demon or monster incarnate?
"I have actually lived one life already."
Upon hearing this, Li Huai's eyes widened. Had he lived a lifetime?
Zhao Qinglan naturally noticed his reaction, but since she had already spoken, she gritted her teeth and continued.
"I don't know if you remember me saying that I have a benefactor with the same name as you, which is why Brother Aiguo found you by chance."
Li Huai nodded. Of course he remembered that, and he had wondered about it for a long time.
"Actually, the person I was looking for was you. That was just an excuse I made up. I was just trying it out casually, but I didn't expect Brother Aiguo to actually find you."
Why would Qinglan take the initiative to find him? They shouldn't have had any interaction before. Li Huai's doubts grew.
However, he refrained from interrupting and listened to his wife continue.
"I knew you in my past life, and we were husband and wife."
Hearing this, Li Huai actually felt quite happy.
“However, we met late in our previous lives. I died of an illness in 2013, and when I woke up, I found myself back in 1976, when I was still young.”
In just a moment, Li Huai realized that she was sixty years old when she passed away, and he immediately felt heartbroken.
However, he was still quite shocked by what he heard.
"You mean, you are still you, but you've already lived once, lived to sixty, and then returned to the past?"
"That's right, that's exactly it," Zhao Qinglan nodded. "Isn't it incredible?"
This is beyond incredible.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Qinglan smiled bitterly and said, "I know this sounds absurd, but I'm telling the truth. I've been advising Sister Wei Hong and Sun Wen to study hard because I know that the college entrance examination will be reinstated."
"So, what you wrote on that piece of paper is something that will definitely happen in the future?"
"If the butterfly effect I create isn't significant, those things will definitely happen." She didn't know if her rebirth would change anything.
"The butterfly effect?" Li Huai was somewhat puzzled.
Zhao Qinglan had no choice but to give him a brief explanation of the word's meaning.
Actually, seeing that he didn't shout or do anything else while listening to her talk, Zhao Qinglan's heart, which had been in her throat, had already calmed down a bit.
Although he found his wife's words frightening, Li Huai surprisingly didn't think she was talking nonsense and had already half-believed them.
It seemed that only in this way could her unusual behavior be explained, and he could also sense her emotions; she hadn't lied to him.
As for verifying the truth of what she said, it's actually quite simple: just see if the major events she wrote about actually happen.
It's been seven or eight years now. The most recent "reform and opening up" period on paper is seven or eight years, isn't it?
"Qinglan, I believe what you're saying. Can you tell me about our past lives?"
He really wanted to know how they got together in their past life and how they lived to old age.
At this moment, Li Huai felt heartbroken that his wife had passed away from illness at the age of sixty, but given their current circumstances, sixty was not a young age.
