Rebirth

Girls are always sentimental. No girl's emotions are not like silk woven from drizzle, moist and gentle. A light touch will cause them to scatter and break at your fingertips, turning into fine, dense mist, hazy and full of sorrow.

"Will we break up in the future?" An Nuan suddenly asked.

"If we break up, I'll kill myself."

An Nuan playfully punched Liu Chang'an, then pouted and smiled. Although his answer seemed casual and perfunctory, An Nuan didn't dwell on the matter any further.

Liu Chang'an confessed his feelings to her today, and she felt as if she had just stepped on a beehive. Bees were buzzing all around her, stinging her head, but she still wanted to stick her claws into the beehive, get them covered in honey, and lick them with her tongue, revealing her intoxication.

An Nuan then realized that Miao Yingying really shouldn't be pressuring Lin Xinhuai like this. While Lin Xinhuai's considerations might not align with mainstream Volkswagen, Miao Yingying was now demanding that Lin Xinhuai give up his ideals for her. If the two of them couldn't end up together, wouldn't Lin Xinhuai regret it or feel resentful?

At that time, Lin Xinhuai may not have achieved his ideals and may feel resentful, but he may also not have ended up with the girl who prompted him to change his life.

An Nuan recalled Liu Chang'an's words. In these matters, Liu Chang'an displayed an unexpected maturity, unlike other boys his age.

"What do you think of Miao Yingying and Lin Xinhuai?" An Nuan asked, suddenly feeling like she had a gossip subject of her own. This was a completely different feeling from chatting with her girlfriends. His opinions and views were more important and more interesting to her.

"What do you mean, how about it?"

"It's about your opinion on their relationship, or something like that."

No opinion.

"You say it! I want you to say it!" An Nuan teased Liu Chang'an by pinching his little finger. Even though they were dating, their old habits wouldn't change; it would always be An Nuan bullying Liu Chang'an.

"They're not a good match. Miao Yingying and Bai Hui are similar. In Bai Hui's eyes, Lin Xinhuai Miao Yingying isn't a good person to date. Although Miao Yingying is with Lin Xinhuai, she actually thinks Lin Xinhuai's not good, just like Bai Hui. In other words, especially during the period when she's closer to Gao Dewei, Miao Yingying will make comparisons. She'll gradually start to feel that Lin Xinhuai is inferior to Gao Dewei in this way and that."

"Gao Dewei, is this related to Gao Dewei?" An Nuan and Gao Dewei Gao Dewei, of course, very close, and she knew him well. "Gao Dewei became the fuse for someone else's breakup? That sounds absurd, like someone saying it's all the moon's fault—utter nonsense."

"Bai Hui may not have meant it, but she would definitely prefer Miao Yingying to be with Gao Dewei, and would unconsciously express it, giving Miao Yingying the impression that she is more suitable to be with Gao Dewei. This kind of implication is very common in our daily lives, Miao Yingying will gradually accept this implication, and then she will lack expectations and respect for Lin Xinhuai, becoming someone she can be with but doesn't care about breaking up with."

"What you're saying is so unemotional!" An Nuan felt that what Liu Chang'an was saying wasn't gossip at all, but rather behavioral and psychological analysis.

"Regardless of how feminism promotes and argues, in reality, when girls lack respect and admiration for their male partners in daily life, their relationships are prone to crisis. Miao Yingying doesn't think gaming talent is worthy of respect and admiration, but she admires Gao Dewei." Liu Chang'an could certainly see this, "Although she doesn't think she's fallen for Gao Dewei, admiration can easily turn into affection."

"How come I don't see that Miao Yingying admires Gao Dewei?" An Nuan didn't have that kind of insight.

"Many people can only accept criticism, ridicule, and mockery from those they approve of. They easily think their self-esteem can withstand it. Look at Gao Dewei, he often... he often describes Miao Yingying fairly. Miao Yingying Miao Yingying Gao Dewei argue, but she doesn't really get angry. But Lin Xinhuai easily makes her angry." Liu Chang'an smiled slightly. "This is a direct manifestation of not placing Lin Xinhuai on the same level of respect as Gao Dewei... it's not because she and Lin Xinhuai are in a romantic relationship that she can get angry so easily."

"Do you think I admire you too?" An Nuan looked at Liu Chang'an with great suspicion. "You often mock me too! I don't even want to be angry with you!"

"Yes, even if we were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, if you didn't idolize me, and I made fun of you in our daily conversations, you would really get angry." Liu Chang'an nodded.

"I'm just letting you have your way!" An Nuan felt that even if Liu Chang'an's words about Miao Yingying made a lot of sense, An Nuan was still An Nuan. An Nuan snorted twice, "You get bullied by me every day, you're not strong at all."

"Then I'll let you admire me."

An Nuan's eyes sparkled as she looked expectantly at Liu Chang'an's retreating figure, then she quickly skipped and hopped after him.

Liu Chang'an led An Nuan on a long run. Fine beads of sweat appeared on An Nuan's forehead. As he looked around, she hopped along with her feet together.

Liu Chang'an saw a singer performing, with a guitar around his neck, a microphone in front of him, and a mobile phone broadcasting live. Further ahead was a large QR code for passersby to watch.

This is now standard practice for street performers; if they don't also do live streaming while performing, it would be too simplistic.

Liu Chang'an swiped fifty yuan and said to the singer, "Hey buddy, can I borrow your equipment for a bit? Can you do me a favor?"

The singer glanced ahead and finally stopped jumping around, revealing a slightly shy An Nuan.

"Okay, but I want to do a live stream." The singer took the phone and live stream stand; this kind of thing always attracts attention, and viewers love to watch it.

"No problem."

They were both straightforward.

Liu Chang'an borrowed the guitar, hung it around his neck, and casually strummed the strings.

"Look everyone, this guy's getting all romantic, his moves are so professional..." The singer said while livestreaming, turning to An Nuan, "This is a super beautiful woman, oh my god... how could I say yes? I should have refused!"

An Nuan blushed slightly, her fingers playing with her hair.

"Hello everyone, I am a reborn person." Liu Chang'an gestured towards the camera.

The singer couldn't help but laugh.

An Nuan glanced around. Fortunately, there weren't many people stopping on the street at this time. The scattered glances weren't a big deal for An Nuan; she was a beautiful girl who looked stunning wherever she stood.

"Actually, I'm very, very old. My life has been filled with many regrets. Reborn into this day, like the protagonists of many rebirth novels, what I need to do is confess my feelings to the beautiful girl who has haunted my dreams for so many years." Liu Chang'an pointed at An Nuan and shouted, "An Nuan, I like you!"

An Nuan smiled shyly, biting her lip. She said those words so many times today, yet they were still incredibly moving.

The guitar started playing, the intro to a song that An Nuan was familiar with; it was a song that was often played at home.

"A song by Jonathan Lee, 'Bewitched,' is an older man's confession to her. Thank you."

"...

Someone asked me what's so good about you.

I still can't forget it after all these years.

Even the most beautiful spring breeze can't compare to your smile.

Those who haven't met you won't understand.

Whether it's being bewitched or not

Whether it's a karmic connection from a past life or not

However, none of this matters anymore.

If you can come back into my arms

Whether it's fate or not

Whether it was a prank on your part or not

However, none of that matters anymore.

I'm willing to follow you to the ends of the earth.

Although time always flies by and makes people grow old.

Although love is always troublesome

Although we cannot know what the future holds.

..."

After Liu Chang'an finished singing, he continued in the song's weathered and mature voice, "I'm so lucky to have been reborn to this day. Everything will be completely different because of my confession... I don't know if you have the chance to be reborn, but I think you all have the courage to confess to the girl you're thinking of right now!"

An Nuan ran over and hugged Liu Chang'an's neck, her eyes moist. At this moment, she felt as if Liu Chang'an had truly been reborn!

"I'm bewitched by you," Liu Chang'an said to An Nuan.

"I admire you," An Nuan said.

Go confess your feelings, young man! Don't wait until you're reborn.

It's almost the end of the month, so please give me your monthly votes. If you feel a connection, take advantage of this feeling and confess your feelings. If you succeed, remember to come back and support me.
