Chapter 2 Rebirth (2)

A familiar figure was reflected in a mirror not far away, it was herself, yet possessed an indescribably odd quality.

She had secretly married Qin Jiran at the age of twenty-three, divorced secretly at twenty-six, and then a year later had a car accident, after which she spent two years as a comatose patient. In that year after her divorce, her image had changed drastically, she even cut her waist-length hair, but now, whether it was the style of the pajamas she was wearing or the glossy, waist-length black hair, everything gave her an illusion as if time had reverted to a certain point she once knew.

Su Yanyi felt somewhat uncertain as she started to search, eventually finding her phone in a very familiar place. The phone was still switched on, and after checking the calendar, Su Yanyi became quite distressed.

"Are they playing a trick on me? Or..." There was a brief pause, followed by a trembling voice tinged with surprise, "Have I really returned to three years ago?"

Su Yanyi had always been someone whose emotions were not easily discernible on her face, yet at this moment, her face was full of surprise. Whether it was truly waking up or rebirth to three years earlier, to Su Yanyi, it was absolutely great news!

Su Yanyi calmed her somewhat rapid breathing, moved her fingers, and dialed a familiar number. The phone was quickly answered, and Su Yanyi, with her sharp hearing, picked up on the familiar ringtone coming from outside the bedroom. It was Qin Jiran's ringtone.

She opened the door, hurriedly stepped out, and heard a very familiar voice both on the phone and in reality.

"Yanyi?" Qin Jiran's voice was a bit hoarse, seemingly trying to be gentler, yet still it came across as harsh and made him seem very aloof.

Su Yanyi stared blankly at the man in front of her, countless memories riotously surging in her mind. The scene from her memory overlapped perfectly with the present moment. Back then, she had also walked out of her bedroom to see Qin Jiran, emanating a hard and cold aura, sitting there expressionless, which made him seem distant and indifferent.

And this was also why Su Yanyi, in her previous life, had never imagined that this man liked her. This man always carried a hardness and aloofness with him, how could he make her feel even a trace of warmth!

But perhaps because she already knew of this man's feelings for her, right now, his expression seemed to carry a different flavor in her eyes, the warmth and confusion hidden behind his apparent hardness suddenly made her think of the adjective "cute."

"Why are you here?" After organizing her tumultuous thoughts, Su Yanyi finally spoke, echoing the words from her past life.

"Are you hungry? I'll make breakfast, let's eat together," Qin Jiran said somewhat awkwardly, but he concealed it well, trying to sound casual.

In the past, Su Yanyi wouldn't have noticed the change in this man's expression. She had always thought their relationship was based on cooperation or even transactional, never caring about what was really in this man's heart. Their interactions were cool and emotionless, she didn't need to pay any attention to this man's feelings.

But now, perhaps because she was aware of this man's feelings for her, she could no longer ignore the changes in his expressions, easily discerning the confusion and exhaustion hidden within.

Su Yanyi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she could only remain silent.

Yet her silence and expressionless face, in Qin Jiran's eyes, led him to a misunderstanding, believing it to be a silent rejection.

She didn't even want to share a breakfast with him anymore.
