"I'm just really happy," he said, taking my hand and kissing the back of it gently. "Doesn't this prove that you're a bit jealous?"
I never expected that in this lifetime, he wouldn't agree to break up; instead, he treated me even better.
In the days that followed, we watched movies together, had dinner, and enjoyed fireworks by the river, just like usual.
But I always felt that this world was too fake, as if it were all just a dream.
Days passed peacefully without a ripple.
On campus, classmates gossiped endlessly, but there were no more intimate photos of them circulating.
I had been on edge for a long time, yet my roommate remained as usual, not speaking harshly to me or taking any drastic actions.
It was as if everything I had experienced in previous lifetimes was merely an image from a parallel world.
Everything felt so strange, like a sign before an impending storm.
Sure enough, when I returned to the dorm one day, I found Xu Jiaying crying on her bed while two roommates tried to comfort her carefully.
"What happened?"
Seeing my question, my roommate quickly pulled me outside the door.
"I heard that Jiajia's boyfriend's family is in trouble; they went bankrupt! Apparently, it was due to some leaked business information—they were set up by a rival company! Gu Yuan's father has been sent to prison and is facing twenty years! And then..."
She hesitated to continue.
"The Gu Family is deeply in debt. Gu Yuan couldn't take the blow and jumped off a building..."
...
The Gu Family went bankrupt? Gu Yuan jumped?
I could hardly believe my ears. Was this about the proud and strong-willed Gu Yuan?
Life is unpredictable; something that had never happened across several lifetimes gave me a sense of temporal dislocation.
My roommate quietly tugged at my sleeve and whispered.
"Jiajia is acting really strange. You know how close she was with her boyfriend. I'm worried she might do something drastic... So we decided that we should take turns watching over her and not let her be alone until she calms down!"
Although I still harbored lingering feelings about past events, at that moment—perhaps out of compassion—I agreed.
In the middle of the night, while my roommates were sound asleep, I found myself wide awake.
I pulled back the bed curtain, only to find Xu Jiaying still awake. Perhaps sensing my movement, she turned her head to look at me.
Her gaze was as calm as a still pond, yet it inexplicably reminded me of a hollow-eyed puppet, sending a chill down my spine.
I heard a rustling sound from beneath the bed and saw her quietly getting off, heading straight for the dormitory door.
With the experiences of previous lives weighing on me, I felt a lingering unease towards her. However, after lying in bed for a long time, I finally got up and hurried after her.
The sound of her footsteps echoed from the staircase, guiding me through the darkness. I turned on my phone's flashlight and followed her all the way to the rooftop terrace.
Under the bright moonlight, I saw her in a daze, wanting to comfort her but unsure of how to begin.
Suddenly, she spoke up.
"Su Yi, my boyfriend once wanted to be with you."
What? I was taken aback; it seemed impossible just by thinking about it.
"But you have enough self-awareness to know that he said that just to get back at me."
A chill crept up my spine, spreading throughout my body until it exploded in my head.
"However, Gu Yuan is too lonely. Why don't you go keep him company?"
She slowly raised her head, a smile playing on her lips. There were no tears in her eyes—only madness that instantly transported me back to the moment she had strangled me in my past life.
She had also been reborn!
Realizing this, I understood the danger I was in and quickly ran downstairs.
If she had indeed been reborn, then Gu Yuan's death was likely not an accident but an act of revenge! And aside from Gu Yuan, the person she hated most was undoubtedly me!
