Two intense emotions, like two extremes, tore at Jiang Xun, causing him excruciating pain all over his body.
He gently took Song Shiwei's hand in his own, then placed her hand against his forehead, softly inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from Song Shiwei.
In an instant, the unbearable heartache in his heart was soothed.
Jiang Xun felt a warmth that reached the very depths of his soul.
He never believed that one person could enter another's heart in just a few months.
Now, he believed it. Song Shiwei had won his heart in just a few months. He would feel happy Song Shiwei was happy, and he would feel sad when Song Shiwei was sad.
He was very happy during his Song Shiwei, but he couldn't imagine a life without the Song Shiwei.
He prayed silently, hoping things weren't as he imagined.
Weiwei won't leave; they still have a future.
Song Shiwei, fast asleep, was completely unaware of the inner turmoil Jiang Xun was going through at that moment.
She dreamed of someone.
That person who looked eight-tenths like her, the rumored "Song Shiwei" who was hated to death by everyone.
When she first appeared in her dreams, she thought she was hallucinating.
But when "Song Shiwei" spoke to her, she realized she had met the original owner of this body, "Song Shiwei."
She panicked instinctively. Could it be that "Song Shiwei" had returned to claim her body?
She had indeed been occupying this body for far too long, and had forgotten that she was a transmigrator and was using someone else's body.
She apologized almost instinctively, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take over your body, I was suddenly thrown here."
"If you want to come back, I can..."
Song Shiwei said awkwardly, but the other "Song Shiwei" smiled faintly, "No need, Weiwei, I just wanted to see you."
"Actually, I'm the one who's sorry to you. I forcibly dragged you into this world."
"I am actually dead, but I have been given a chance: to be reborn or to find someone to replace me and start over."
"I don't have the courage to start over. I know that no matter how many times I try, I can't beat Song Yurou. I have no choice but to choose the second option."
Song Shiwei recalled the original owner's experiences in the original novel, and remained silent for a long while.
In the original novel, Song Shiwei truly suffered a lot. She spent her entire life trying to heal her misfortune and desperately save herself, but in the end, she did go mad and watched herself die.
She never received any care or concern from her family, and she lost everything she longed for most.
"Weiwei, do you know what I want most? It's love, endless love, boundless love. I lack a sense of security, which is why I frantically seek validation from others, wanting everyone to value me and love me."
"But I forgot that to receive love, one must also love others. Love is mutual; no one gives unconditionally, and no one obtains love through illegal means."
"I was so foolish before. I always thought that only if I defeated Song Yurou would my father see me and love me. But I was wrong. Even without Song Yurou, my father wouldn't love a good-for-nothing. Even without Song Yurou, my father wouldn't like a gloomy and jealous person like me."
Song Shiwei's voice was soft, yet it carried a deep sense of inferiority.
Song Shiwei was terrified when she heard this; Song Shiwei really was a typical people-pleasing personality.
Perhaps she should say something.
Song Shiwei mentally prepared herself before bursting into a tirade, "Weiwei, do you mind me calling you that? You don't need to feel inferior, you're amazing! Your father doesn't love you because he's a complete scumbag! And your brother is a scumbag too! They're nothing! Let's ignore them!!"
"Do you know that your father is a complete scumbag? He's always wanting more than he has, and he's a 'phoenix man' (a man from a poor background who achieves success in society). He's disgusting."
We don't need the love of such scum! Loving ourselves is the most important thing.
In her dream, Song Shiwei cursed, panting heavily, her face flushed as she stared at the "Song Shiwei" before her.
Song Shiwei's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately smiled. "Thank you, Weiwei. I'm very happy now. Do you know who I am now? I am you."
Song Shiwei:?
No; didn't she already die suddenly? What happened?
"Song Shiwei" continued, "I know you're dead, but the System Bureau granted me a small privilege. He said my life had been too miserable, so he let me live again."
Song Shiwei:?
"Good heavens, I've never seen anything like this before! It's come back to life!" Song Shiwei murmured.
"Song Shiwei" seemed to have guessed what he would say, and the expression on her face became increasingly subtle. "It's not that he came back to life, it's that he was possessed and brought back to life."
Song Shiwei:...
Okay, that makes sense too.
"Weiwei, do you know, it wasn't until I transmigrated into your body that I finally understood what love is."
"The director of the orphanage really loves every child. Whenever she has time, she calls me. She cares about my life and my health, and every day she tells me to eat more and wear more clothes. I've never experienced this kind of warmth and kindness before."
"The children at the orphanage love me so much. I love being with them. They happily call me 'sister,' share their snacks with me, hug me, and give me big kisses. I feel so happy every day."
