He had never seen Qiaoqiao wear that red sweater before, but on her, it accentuated her small face, as pink as peach blossom petals. She sat in front of the table with a set of carving knives he was very familiar with, which her grandfather had left her. On the table, a few stones were placed there.
Qiaoqiao wasn’t carving, instead she seed to be gazing lancholically out of the window. After a mont, she let out a long sigh, holding a stone in her hand, and a teardrop fell upon it.
She stared in a daze, then gave a mocking smile, quickly wiping away the tear. Qin Yize felt a pang in his heart and unconsciously called out, "Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao..."
But unfortunately, Qiaoqiao didn’t respond at all.
Only then did Qin Yize realize he couldn’t move.
It was as if ti had frozen him in place.
Then, Qin Yize seed to feel a bit dizzy because the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
He saw himself!
The living Qin Yize, wearing a training uniform full of frost, pushed open the door.
That was him, yet not him!
Because he had never treated Qiaoqiao in such a manner, or rather, it should have been the attitude he assud he could have towards Qiaoqiao when he first t her.
Standing outside the door, he clenched his fists. If he could move, he would have beaten that version of himself ferociously.
How could he be such a bastard!
However, the more painful part was yet to co.
In the blink of an eye, the calendar flipped to the Spring Festival of 1989, and Qin Yize, frozen in ti, was full of doubts but couldn’t figure them out.
According to the flow of ti, he should be lying in a hospital bed now, even if due to the passage of ti, it was already the day of the Spring Festival, but this scene wasn’t right.
How could they just return from the Northern Border City to the Imperial Capital for a family reunion, they had long left that place, that house had been assigned to others, and they had no relation to the Northern Border City, while his workplace was at the headquarters in the Imperial Capital.
Moreover, the most important thing is that at this ti, Gu Tianfeng’s family actually lived in Stone Town, Gu Qiaoqiao had nothing to do with Yubao Square, because on the evening of the third day of the New Year, a classmate ca to visit him, and ntioned Yubao Square in the Imperial Capital, noticing Qiaoqiao’s love for carving, and Qiaoqiao’s small face was full of longing.
This isn’t right!
Although it seed like it was going to happen in the future, it wasn’t!
And all this finally proved Qin Yize’s conjecture, what he saw was although himself and Gu Qiaoqiao, it was another Qin Yize and another Gu Qiaoqiao, it was the lives of two others, not his and the current Qiaoqiao’s life.
If delving deeper, could it be he and Qiaoqiao’s past lives?
Thinking of this, Qin Yize was suddenly shocked, feeling as if he stood in an imnse glacier, cold and stiff.
What’s going on?
Why could he see his and Qiaoqiao’s past lives?
Could reincarnation really exist in this world!
His mind was spinning rapidly, yet his eyes remained fixed on everything in front of him. He didn’t see it continuously, only in fragnts. He saw Xiao Yu and Bai Yun isolating Qiaoqiao, he saw his mother’s helpless yet disdainful attitude towards Qiaoqiao.
Genuinely treating Qiaoqiao well, only Grandma did.
He was extrely heartbroken, yet powerless!
He could only keep cursing at his bastard self.
Then, the scene shifted to the sumr in the Border City, he returned from a field survey, it was already midnight when he got back. Even though it was another Qin Yize, at this mont, he sohow clearly felt that version of his own mood.
A month apart, he missed Qiaoqiao, missed her a lot!
Sleeping in the tent at night, he heard himself quietly murmuring Qiaoqiao’s na, in the office he saw himself reach out gently stroking that Roaring Tiger Forest, eyes and brows full of love.
Qin Yize thought, from now on, that other Qin Yize should treat Qiaoqiao well, rather than neglect and indifference.
As he wished, in the past life’s tiline, Qin Yize opened Qiaoqiao’s door, he had drunk a bit, with the drink’s intention he turned on the light, by this ti Qiaoqiao had woken, staring dazedly at Qin Yize standing at the door with her drowsy, shining eyes.
Her eyes, starting out hazy, suddenly cleared as if the starlight had fallen into them, lighting up all at once, the girl slowly curled her lips, revealing a bright smile.
He couldn’t help but feel his heart flutter.
But the next mont, he saw his past life self, with a cold face, scanning Gu Qiaoqiao, and without saying a word, he turned to his own room.
This idiot!
Outside of ti, Qin Yize clenched his hands tightly and kept cursing angrily, but unfortunately, no one could hear his roar.
Until the moon was at its zenith, the brilliant smile froze on Qiaoqiao’s young and slightly childish face.
Qiaoqiao couldn’t understand why Qin Yize, who hadn’t returned for a month, just left again without a word?
Had she done sothing wrong again to make him unhappy?
The girl desperately thought about what she did wrong, but thought and thought and couldn’t figure it out.
Qiaoqiao seed like a lone, helpless young beast, holding a pillow tightly in her arms, tears dripped down, she cried in sadness and helplessness but didn’t dare cry out loud, afraid the Qin Yize next door would hear, the girl muffled her face with the pillow, thin shoulders slightly trembling...
While the bastard version of himself next door was at that mont constantly ruffling his hair in frustration.
He even slapped himself, murmuring to himself, "You obviously miss her so much, why couldn’t you say a word when you saw her, you idiot fool..."
He too followed, madly cursing.
Yet the days still had to continue, but fortunately from then, he seed to realize he indeed was sowhat foolish, shouldn’t treat Qiaoqiao like that, he cooked for Qiaoqiao, read to her, chatted with her, took her out to play, and the smile returned to the girl’s face.
The cold indifferent air between the two seed to have vanished, although not like ordinary couples, but the ambiguous air always flowed gently between them, and he also felt Qiaoqiao seed to grow day by day, transforming fascinatingly.
And all of these ca to an end one day in early August.
Sothing happened to Qiaoqiao!
She was taken to Southwestern Great Mountain, sold to a fool, he saw Qiaoqiao being madly beaten up by that Fool’s Mother, saw that vile woman using iron tongs to pick up burning hot coals...
Qin Yize felt he was going crazy, his eyes bloodshot, struggled desperately, using every ounce of his strength to rush forward, roaring like a beast, face full of tears, but at this mont he felt what was flowing on his face was not tears, but blood.
