"Then it's settled."
Xie Tingzhou's gaze returned to Ye Zhen's face. "Zhen'er, may I bite you?"
Ye Zhen didn't ask why, and replied, "Okay, where do you want to bite?"
Upon learning that Xie Tingzhou was about to bite his arm, she helped him sit up. A group of children and grandchildren behind her rushed forward to help, but Ye Zhen waved them away.
She hugged the thin man and brought her arm to his mouth. Xie Tingzhou bit down hard, leaving a row of shallow teeth marks.
He laughed, "With this mark, I'll be able to find you in my next life."
Ye Zhen's tears fell. "Then I'll bite you too. I'll bite your wrist. I'll make sure it's a girl who bit you. That way, even if I don't find you quickly, other girls won't be able to make a move on you."
"good!"
With all his might, Xie Tingzhou gave Ye Zhen his final act of affection before passing away peacefully beneath the crabapple tree he had planted himself.
Five years later, Ye Zhen also passed away peacefully on a swing under the crabapple blossoms.
Her soul left her body, and she saw three children holding her corpse and weeping bitterly, burying her with Xie Tingzhou...
After wandering in the human world for a while, she was taken to the Hall of Merit, where she met her great-grandparents and returned to her youthful appearance.
They embraced her, saying, "Good child, you have accumulated immeasurable merit in this life. You may make a request to the Hall of Merit."
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I want to be Xie Tingzhou's wife again, with the memories of my past life."
The two of them personally accompanied her to the Yellow Springs, across the River of Oblivion, skipping the Meng Po soup, and directly to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Before Ye Zhen jumped into the vortex of reincarnation, the two hugged him again, and Shi Yu said once more, "Don't be afraid, we're here for you."
...
In the 1960s, in a military hospital in southern China, Ye Jinghong's hometown, a loud cry rang out.
The nurse came out carrying the baby and called out to the family, "Political Commissar Shi, Commander Ye has given birth to a daughter."
Upon hearing this, the anxious man quickly went to the nurse, glanced at the baby in the swaddling clothes, and asked, "How is my Jinghong?"
The nurse smiled, "Commander Ye is very good."
Ye Zhen heard the man's voice and opened her eyes, but she couldn't see very clearly. However, the voice was her father's, and his surname was also Shi. Her mother's name had not changed.
Could it be that after she reincarnated, her parents were still her parents?
A moment later, the delivery room door opened, and the woman was wheeled out. The man rushed over and said, "Jinghong, you've suffered so much. I wanted to be with you, but they wouldn't let me in."
The woman in labor rolled her eyes. "I told them not to let you in. Women's faces contort in childbirth, and I don't want you to see me like that..."
The two chatted on and on, and Ye Zhen smiled. They really were her parents.
The nurse holding her exclaimed in delight, "Oh, the baby is smiling!"
The new parents were busy looking after their daughter, and when they saw her smiling foolishly, they couldn't help but adore her.
As an infant, Ye Zhen ate and slept, slept and ate. She wanted to find Xie Tingzhou, but she was too small and her legs were too short. The adults wouldn't let her run around, so she was really powerless to do so.
When she was five years old, she went with her parents to attend the funeral of a battalion commander. At that funeral, she saw a boy with teeth marks on his wrist, and it was Xie Tingzhou's face.
He was the battalion commander's son. His mother ran away with someone when he was young, and he and his father depended on each other for survival. Now that his father is gone, he is all alone in the family.
Ye Zhen clung to Political Commissar Shi's leg, "Dad, I like this older brother. Shall we take him home?"
Commissar Shi was a doting father to his daughter and never refused. “Okay, Dad will figure something out. From now on, you’ll have an older brother.”
Ye Zhen, with her hair tied in pigtails, shook her head frantically, "No, it's not my brother, I want to marry him."
Commissar Shi was in a dilemma. No matter how much he doted on his daughter, he couldn't bring his comrade's child to be his daughter's child groom.
Commander Ye suggested, "Why don't we ask the child what he thinks?"
Ye Zhen volunteered, "I'll go ask."
No one knows what Ye Zhen said to the child, but after the child finished arranging his father's funeral, he went home with Ye Zhen...
