章 4: The Second Chance

Because at that time, Chen Anwen saw the son of the Yang family, who was known as a hooligan and a scum, looking at Li Chenmo with hatred and jealousy. At the same time, she also noticed an educated youth twisting her handkerchief with jealousy clear in her eyes when she looked at Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu.

Connecting the clues together, she can guess that the son of the Yang family and the educated youth teamed up to plot against Lu Jueyu. At first, she didn't understand why an educated youth wanted to harm her sister-in-law, who was clearly only a daughter of a farmer. She inquired around and found out that the educated youth had feelings for Li Chenmo.

As for the son of the Yang family, he has long coveted Lu Jueyu's beauty. After Chen Anwen found out, she told the Lu family. Although they were unwilling to betroth Lu Jueyu to Li Chenmo, they had no other choice. If they don't betroth her to him, they will be sent to prison. Because of her young age, they agreed to postpone their marriage for two years.

Now that the wedding date is approaching, Lu Jueyu is in a depressed mood. The gossip and rumors in the past two years have brought her a lot of pressure. A few days ago, she fell into the river. No one knows how she fell into the river. Fortunately, she was found by their production team leader's daughter. Otherwise, she would have drowned long ago.

Chen Anwen guarded her all night, but Lu Jueyu was in pain at the moment. Currently, she is having a confusing dream. In her dream, she experiences two lives that intertwine at certain moments. One time, she knew that her dream was the novels she read. But another time, she felt that this was not a dream, but her own life.

There is only one thing similar between the two lives, and that is the young man. In modern times, this young man is her college senior. They had no contact because of their different majors, but for some reason, she always met him by accident.

In another era, he was her benefactor and also her fiancé. In the dream, she only had gratitude for him, without any romantic feelings. Therefore, when she got engaged to him, she was unwilling because she longed for a marriage with love.

At the end of the dream, she saw the young man on the same plane as her, in the seat behind her. When she saw his gentle gaze on her, she panicked and cried out.

"You can't board this plane! Senior, you should leave!"

But no matter how she warned him, he couldn't hear it. When the plane took off, the fear in her heart became more intense. She could only watch him get up from his seat in a panic and hug her before the plane crashed. With an explosion, her eyes snapped open.

When Lu Jueyu suddenly opened her eyes, Chen Anwen was startled. She was sleepy, so she took a nap. When she felt the jolt from the bed and heard Lu Jueyu's heavy panting, she opened her eyes. She looked at her sister-in-law's blank eyes, and her heart trembled.

Her heart beat faster in surprise. Coupled with Lu Jueyu's blank gaze, Chen Anwen felt chilled in her heart. When she came back to her senses, she quickly stood up and patted Lu Jueyu's cheek.

"Jueyu, can you hear me?" she called to her.

Seeing that she didn't respond, she increased her voice and called her again.

"Jueyu! Can you hear me?"

This time, Lu Jueyu's gaze began to regain focus. She looked at the young woman in front of her and nodded. Because of her dreams, she knows who this young woman is. But at that time, she still couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality.

The young woman hurriedly left the room and came back with a group of people. When they saw her, there was relief and happiness in their eyes. She looked at their faces one by one, and remembered that these people had also appeared in her dreams. It was her life in the 1970s.

Mother and Father Lu saw their daughter looking at them blankly and worried that the high fever had burned her brain. There have been several cases in their village where villagers became stupid due to high fever.

Mother Lu hurried over, held her hand, and asked, "Jueyu, do you know me?"

After a while, Lu Jueyu finally nodded and said hoarsely, "Mother."

They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her hoarsely calling Mother Lu. While they were busy attending to her needs, she was struggling to recall her own memories.

She clearly knew that she was born in modern times and died in a plane crash. The dream she saw was her life, and she had to die. She doesn't know what happened that brought her back to life in a different era, or rather, in the novel she read before she died.

She turned her head and looked at those 'characters'. Their expressions, actions, and words are as real as those people in her previous life. It was hard for her to imagine that everything was just a string of words written by someone.

Lu Jueyu does not think that she is living in the novel, but rather that the novel is actually a bridge connecting this world and the previous world. In other words, she was reborn in a parallel world, and the body she occupied was another 'her'. As for where the other 'she' went, she had no idea. Perhaps, 'she' was already dead and she happened to cross over and occupy the body.

After thinking about it, she decided to live well. Although she heard from her grandparents that life in the 1970s was very difficult in her previous life, she is very grateful that she got a second chance to live. Her only regret is her college senior. If she had sensed his feelings sooner, though briefly, they might have had a chance to be together.
