“Chen Yuexin, don’t think I actually married you because I wanted to. That was just a front. The one I really love is Liu Yingqiu. We’ll split up sooner or later.”
“Fine then. In that case, let’s get a divorce.”
“Sure, but you leave with nothing.”
“No problem.”
The memories of her previous life surged like a tidal wave into the newly awakened girl, Chen Yuexin, leaving her complexion pale.
This was already the thirtieth time.
The overlapping of bad memories and nightmares had woken her before her alarm even went off.
“Gu Linxue, even if I’ve been reborn, do you have to haunt my thoughts like this?”
‘Maybe I’m the one who can’t let go.’
Truth be told, in her previous life, Chen Yuexin had devoted herself wholeheartedly to Gu Linxue, turning down the advances of many beautiful women.
Though the path had been rough, after graduating from college, she still tied the knot with Gu Linxue.
Too bad Chen Yuexin was just Gu Linxue’s tool.
The marriage between Gu Linxue and Chen Yuexin was nothing but a performance, a show put on for their families.
Behind the scenes, Gu Linxue had already been getting cozy with her good friend, Liu Yingqiu.
So as far as Chen Yuexin was concerned, lesbians? Absolutely terrible.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this hatred that when Chen Yuexin left a divorce agreement behind and walked away in anger, she unfortunately got hit by a truck, was reborn, and became a girl.
And everything had returned to the very beginning.
Back to her freshman year of college.
Staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar dormitory surroundings, Chen Yuexin still couldn’t get used to it.
Her roommate was still sound asleep, but Chen Yuexin, jolted awake by unpleasant memories, no longer had any desire to sleep.
Pushing aside the snow-white strands of hair that had slipped from her temple, she squinted and lay on her side, looking at the news.
“According to relevant department statistics, our nation’s female-female birth rate has risen to 7%, setting a new historical high.”
“In recent years, the average marriage age for women has dropped to 20.”
“New policy released: Purchasing a new energy vehicle with a marriage certificate entitles you to a 30% national subsidy.”
Chen Yuexin couldn’t take it anymore. In a fit of rage, she uninstalled the platform.
‘It’s all lesbian news, every single day. Can’t I just live?’
Complaints aside, after nearly a month of observation following her rebirth, Chen Yuexin was certain of this world…
There were only women.
‘Why did I get reborn into a world with only girls?’
‘How can lesbians even have babies?’
‘So… is my husband my wife?’
Countless questions followed.
If this was God’s joke on her, then she believed it.
God is a les.
Her light purple pupils were shrouded in intense reluctance.
If this was what rebirth meant, she’d rather not have it at all.
It was all because in her previous life, she was forced to leave because of a lesbian relationship.
Sad. Mushroom.
Even so, life had to go on.
As long as she didn’t run into people like Gu Linxue and Liu Yingqiu in this life, she would be fine.
But in the memories of this life, there still seemed to be traces of them.
After rebirth, the clash between her previous life’s memories and her current life’s memories made it hard to recall exactly what happened with Gu Linxue and Liu Yingqiu in the past.
At least so far, she hadn’t seen them at this key national university.
In this life, Chen Yuexin’s relationship with Gu Linxue and Liu Yingqiu seemed rather delicate, as if the three of them had agreed to go to the same university.
Deep down, Chen Yuexin didn’t want that at all.
In this life, she had endured for three years, and ultimately exceeded expectations on the college entrance exam, deliberately applying to Guangnan University, a school whose score requirements neither of them could meet.
Thus, she finally rid herself of those two clingy people.
‘Looks like this life’s Chen Yuexin doesn’t like Gu Linxue and Liu Yingqiu, that pair of good friends, either.’
Regardless of past or present life, the desire to stay away from those two was the same.
Let them go be lovey-dovey with each other.
The alarm had just rung, but she shut it off before the bell could even sound.
Her little feet touched the slightly cool floor. As a good roommate, she needed to wake up her only roommate, Chen Yiyi.
She gazed at the girl’s delicate sleeping face.
Sleek black hair spread out on the pillow like a blooming flower. Even in her dream, the corners of her mouth were lifted, as if she were having a wonderful dream.
“Yiyi, wake up. We have to get going for the military training morning exercise.”
“Mmm… Yuexin, I can’t eat anymore. Stop feeding me.”
Chen Yiyi suddenly grabbed Yuexin’s jade-like finger that was poking her cheek. Just as she was trying to figure out what dream she was having, the sharp pain from her fingertip made her instantly understand what Yiyi was doing in her sleep.
“Chen Yiyi! You’re biting me! Wake up already!”
…
On the way to the training ground, Chen Yiyi kept apologizing to Chen Yuexin.
Chen Yuexin’s face was dark. She was unhappy and walked forward in quick, small steps.
“Yuexin, don’t be mad anymore. I really didn’t mean to.”
Chen Yiyi had repeated this sentence three or four times, but Chen Yuexin just wouldn’t speak.
“My dear Yuexin, don’t give me the cold shoulder. It’s Crazy Thursday today. Let me treat you, how about that?”
Chen Yuexin suddenly stopped, and Chen Yiyi took the opportunity to stand in front of her.
“You said it.”
Hearing the slightly forgiving tone mixed in with the displeasure, Chen Yiyi nodded vigorously, her dark eyes blinking nonstop.
“I said it. I swear to the heavens.”
The corners of Chen Yuexin’s mouth lifted.
“Alright then. Let’s hit up KFC at noon.”
The sun blazed fiercely; the autumn sun was still scorching.
Having been ‘roasted’ for ten days already, Chen Yuexin felt she was almost fully cooked.
She took the opportunity to mentally command the sun in the sky to rain down. If only she could control the weather.
Too bad she wasn’t Hou Yi; she couldn’t shoot down the sun. She could only get ‘shot’ by it.
Pfft!
Who’s the top and who’s the bottom isn’t decided yet.
There were only four more days left of this military training hell.
Chen Yuexin could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
As the whistle signaling the end of the morning training sounded, Chen Yuexin’s upright back finally slumped.
“Yuexin, let’s go eat KFC.”
Chen Yiyi squeezed out from the flow of people and firmly grabbed Yuexin’s hand.
Her purple pupils blinked twice as she looked at Chen Yiyi, a joyful light naturally shimmering within them.
Taking off her hat, her snow-white hair fell naturally.
Under the sunlight, her snow-white hair shimmered with a light golden luster, catching everyone’s attention.
“Let’s go. To the KFC at the main gate.”
Chen Yiyi went along with her, picking the direction and leaving the training ground.
Chen Yuexin looked at her phone, letting Yiyi lead her. She trusted Yiyi wouldn’t lead her astray.
Bits of conversation drifted to her ears. Chen Yuexin frowned slightly, her gaze becoming alert.
“That girl with the pink hair is so pretty. Her pink eyes are so beautiful. I love it.”
“She’s not wearing a military training uniform. Is she not a student at our school?”
“Who cares if she is or not. Adding her on social media and slowly building a connection isn’t a bad idea.”
Her guard went up higher and higher. Chen Yuexin began to look around, trying to find the pink-haired girl in the passersby’s conversations.
The only person in her memory who matched pink hair and pink pupils was one person: Gu Linxue.
A bright flash of pink appeared in her line of sight. Chen Yuexin quietly sucked in a cold breath.
“Heh, found you, my little cutie.”
The corners of the pink-haired girl’s delicate mouth lifted as she tied her hair into a ponytail, like a hunter who had found her long-sought prey, a hint of triumph in her expression.
Dressed in a JK-style uniform, Gu Linxue’s skirt swayed and fluttered with each brisk step.
“Gu… Lin… Xue…”
She whispered the name of the pink-haired girl, and the blurry fragments of memory in her mind slowly began to emerge.
Chen Yiyi noticed something was wrong with Yuexin. She stopped beside her and tightened her grip on Yuexin’s hand.
“Yuexin, what’s wrong?”
Chen Yuexin couldn’t speak. She just swallowed hard.
Staring at the sly, knowing smile on Gu Linxue’s face, panic surged through Chen Yuexin.
Those fragmented memories connected, slowly becoming clear in her mind.
Gu Linxue came right up to her. Her gaze lingered only for a moment on the hands clasped between Chen Yiyi and Chen Yuexin, and the very next instant, she snatched Chen Yuexin away from Chen Yiyi.
“She doesn’t belong to you.”
Gu Linxue glared coldly at Chen Yiyi, her face like ice.
Chen Yiyi stared in shock at Chen Yuexin, who was pulled into Gu Linxue’s embrace. The adorable white-haired girl’s pupils were filled with panic and unease.
Gu Linxue wrapped her arm around Chen Yuexin’s slender waist, holding her right there in front of everyone.
But Chen Yuexin’s next move caught Gu Linxue off guard.
“Get away from me.”
The moment the white-haired girl pushed her away and quickly retreated, Gu Linxue didn’t let her go, hastily grabbing her wrist.
Her pink pupils were filled with shock, surprise, a hint of coldness, and a hidden trace of annoyance.
“Baby, stop messing around. Come with me.”
“No… I don’t want to…”
Chen Yuexin struggled to break free from Gu Linxue’s hand and hid behind Chen Yiyi.
Seeing this, Chen Yiyi understood that this Gu Linxue was bad news. All she brought Yuexin was pain.
It was time for her to step up and solve the problem for Yuexin. This was a rare chance to show her worth.
Chen Yiyi spread her arms wide, like a mother hen protecting her chick.
“Classmate, please don’t make things difficult for Yuexin. She doesn’t want to go with you.”
Gu Linxue’s only response was a cold laugh.
“Do you even know what our relationship is?”
Chen Yiyi shook her head in confusion.
“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know. What I do know is that Yuexin doesn’t want to go with you.”
Gu Linxue, her face cold, shoved Chen Yiyi away with the force of a bodybuilder.
“She’s my wife. What business is it of yours?”
The words pierced the air, and the air around them filled with the scent of lavender, suffocating Chen Yuexin.
Gu Linxue’s figure completely enveloped Chen Yuexin, as if trapping her in her own personal cage.
“I’m… I’m not… I’m not… Don’t talk nonsense…”
Her words were as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, easily shattered by the breeze.
But Gu Linxue and Chen Yiyi still heard them.
Chen Yuexin’s brow furrowed in pain. The memories of Gu Linxue in her mind were tangled in an endless knot.
One was the Gu Linxue who had an affair after marriage. The other was the Gu Linxue who had chased after her for three years in high school.
Two lifetimes of memories converged at this moment. The sheer volume of information left Chen Yuexin frozen in place.
“Have you forgotten what happened that night, Chen Yuexin?”
