In June 20X9, city A, Huo's house.

There was a photo on the coffee table in the living room. Huo Cheng's eyes stayed on the photo for a short time. He raised his head without much fluctuation, and looked at Huo Tingxiao opposite.

"This is Shen Wanying, 23 years old this year, the same age as you. You have met when you were young, do you still have any impressions?" Maybe it was because he suddenly talked about marriage with his son, Huo Tingxiao's tone was a little uncomfortable, "You Grandpa asked you to meet her tomorrow."

"Yeah." Huo Cheng nodded invisibly and didn't say much. He has always talked less, so Huo Tingxiao didn't find it strange to have such a reaction.

It's just that this is Huo Cheng's lifelong event. He still wants to hear more of Huo Cheng's own opinions: "I know that your grandfather will arrange a blind date for you as soon as you return to China. It's a little urgent. You go to see Shen Wan tomorrow. Ying, if you don't want to get married, I will firmly reject this matter with your grandfather and will not force you."

"Well." Huo Cheng is still the same word, his tone and expression have not changed much from just now.

Huo Tingxiao was at a loss for words, and after two seconds he said, "If there's nothing else, you can go upstairs to rest first, and don't be late for the meeting tomorrow."

"I know." This time Huo Cheng said two more words, and when he left, he took the photo of Shen Wanying on the table.

The place to meet the next day was set at Tianxiaju, and Huo Cheng's grandfather reserved the most expensive private room for them.

Huo Cheng arrived earlier than Shen Wanying. After he entered the private room, he sat in his seat and waited quietly. After a while, Shen Wanying also arrived. Huo Cheng was facing the direction of the door. As soon as she opened the door, Huo Cheng saw her.

Shen Wanying wore a red retro style dress, and her hair also made a retro updo to match the style of the skirt. Her face is very small, and even if this hairstyle can't modify her face too much, it still looks delicate.

When she saw Huo Cheng sitting inside, Shen Wanying was surprised for a moment, and soon she showed a polite and decent smile to Huo Cheng, and said to him apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I'm late."

"No, I came early." Huo Cheng stood up, and after Shen Wanying came in and sat down, he sat down in his original position again.

The waiter came over with the menu, and Huo Cheng asked Shen Wanying to order. After the dishes were ordered, the two started chatting from the only time they met when they were children. Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward, there was no cold scene. Huo Cheng has lived abroad since he was a child, and Shen Wanying University is also studying abroad, so the two talked about studying and living abroad.

After the dishes were served, Shen Wanying asked Huo Cheng with a smile: "Mr. Huo, although we had a relationship when we were young, today should be the first official meeting between the two of us? Regarding our marriage, you Do you think we've known each other for too short a time?"

Huo Cheng raised his eyes slightly to look at her and replied, "No."

In February 20X3, seventeen-year-old Huo Cheng opened his eyes in country M.

The computer was on, and there was a picture of a girl on the screen.

Huo Cheng's mind went blank for two seconds before realizing that he had been reborn back to the age of seventeen.

- He has been back for two days, but he is still a little uncomfortable.

He didn't remember how he fell asleep just now. Before falling asleep, he was looking at Shen Wanying's Weibo.

Today is Shen Wanying's seventeenth birthday, and she posted a photo of her wishing on a birthday cake to Weibo. In the photo, Shen Wanying closed her eyes reverently, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised in the candlelight, looking in a good mood.

Her appearance overlapped with that in Huo Cheng's dream just now, and the question she asked herself echoed in Huo Cheng's mind.

"Mr. Huo, do you think we have known each other for too short a time?"

No, of course not. Because in the time Shen Wanying didn't know, he had liked her for thirteen years.

From the first meeting at the age of ten to the reunion at the age of twenty-three.

And this Weibo. This is not what Huo Cheng paid attention to after he was reborn, but what Huo Cheng paid attention to all the time when he was abroad. Although it's been a long time, Huo Cheng still remembers that day, Shen Wanying's news was suddenly sent to a group of international students where he belonged.

As if to prove something, he clicked a few times on the computer with the mouse and found the screenshot he had saved at that time.

"In the alley of City A after school, two groups of delinquent teenagers had an appointment for a fight, and the atmosphere was tense. At this time, an ordinary female middle school student passed by and gave them a math problem. As of the time of writing, the two groups of students who made the appointment are still there. problem-solving."

Seeing this news again, Huo Cheng's mouth twitched slightly. At that time, the news was only posted on the private Weibo of the classmates who wrote the manuscript. Unexpectedly, it suddenly became popular in the student circle. Even Huo Cheng, who was far abroad, saw the news of Shen Wanying in the group.

That's right, the ordinary female middle school student who happened to pass by was Shen Wanying.

Later, Huo Cheng thought about why this Weibo became popular - mainly because of the photos of Shen Wanying.

Today, the relics of this Weibo are still there, and when you click in, you can see everyone's various comments. Shen Wanying also replied below, so many people followed the clues and found her Weibo.

When this incident was the most popular, Shen Wanying's Weibo traffic was comparable to that of Internet celebrities, but over time, everyone's enthusiasm gradually faded. Like Huo Cheng, there are very few people who follow Shen Wanying's Weibo from the third year of junior high to college graduation.

But these Shen Wanying didn't know, just like she never knew that Huo Cheng loved her.

In Shen Wanying's eyes, their marriage might just be a business marriage. After the meeting in Tianxiaju, their marriage went very smoothly, and it didn't take long for them to officially receive the marriage certificate. Huo Cheng's last memory in his last life was his and Shen Wanying's wedding anniversary.

That day was the anniversary of their first wedding. Huo Cheng saw his wife, Shen Wanying, stabbing a knife into his abdomen.

There are some things that Huo Cheng can't understand. For example, he doesn't know why Shen Wanying did this, or he doesn't even know whether Shen Wanying loves him or not.

A year is not a long time, she may not have fallen in love with herself, but even if she does not, it is not enough for her to kill him, right

Why is that

At that time, something happened to the Shen family's company, and Shen Wanying's aunt was also imprisoned for suspected commercial crimes. There were rumors that these were all done by the Huo family. Did she believe these rumors

After the accident in the Shen family, the Huo family has been helping out, and Huo Cheng also explained to Shen Wanying as soon as he heard the rumors outside. Could it be that because they had no emotional basis, she didn't believe his words

This reason could not convince Huo Cheng of himself.

Shen Wanying was not someone who would commit such extreme acts of murder because of such a thing. Even if she didn't believe him, she would investigate the matter herself and find evidence that would benefit the Shen family. Killing him would not help the Shen family except to vent his anger.

So what else

Huo Cheng looked at the photo of Shen Wanying on the computer and didn't move for a long time.

Human nature is to seek profit and avoid harm. Since he knows that he will be killed by Shen Wanying in the future - no matter what she is for, then he should stay away from Shen Wanying in this life. As long as she doesn't interact with her anymore, she will naturally not happen to be killed by her in the future.

But after he was reborn, he would still read Shen Wanying's Weibo, and he knew that he could not stay away from her.

In their last life, they were married, and they only spent a year together. She didn't believe that he was excusable. If in this life, he knew her earlier, and married her no longer because of marriage, would things be different

He wanted to make up for the time he missed.

He wondered what he had overlooked.

Huo Cheng made a decision in his heart, so he turned off the computer and went downstairs to find Huo Tingxiao.

Today is the weekend. Huo Tingxiao is resting at home. When Huo Cheng went down, he was sitting on the sofa watching the news. Huo Cheng walked over, stood beside him and called, "Dad."

Huo Tingxiao seemed to realize that he was going downstairs. He turned slightly and looked up at Huo Cheng: "What's wrong?"

Huo Cheng was silent for a moment before he said, "I want to go back to China."

Huo Tingxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could see that he was very surprised. He and Huo Cheng have been living abroad for seven years. He never thought that Huo Cheng would suddenly propose to return to China.

He suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked Huo Cheng calmly, "Did something happen? Returning to China is not a trivial matter. Why do you suddenly have such thoughts?"

Huo Cheng lowered his eyes slightly, and after a few seconds he said, "It's nothing, I just want to go back."

Huo Tingxiao didn't speak, Huo Cheng was seventeen years old, and his personality was calmer than that of ordinary children. He was bored in many things and would not tell others. The teenager was in a sensitive period. He suddenly proposed to return to China. Huo Tingxiao was very worried: "Huo Cheng, I always feel that you are a little different these two days. If something happened at school, you can tell your father."

Huo Chengdao: "Really not, maybe it's just not suitable."

Huo Tingxiao: "..."

It's been seven years, and now you're starting to feel uncomfortable? Is it too slow to respond

Huo Tingxiao naturally didn't believe this reason, but Huo Cheng didn't seem to plan to tell him the truth either.

"Huocheng..."

"Dad, I'm really fine."

Huo Tingxiao looked at him for a long time, and then asked him, "What about the university? Are you going to stay in China to study?"

Huo Cheng really didn't think about the university, but since Shen Wanying went abroad to study at university, he should also be with him: "The university should go abroad."

Huo Tingxiao: "...?"

Then why did you sing this live

Huo Tingxiao slowed down secretly, pulled Huo Cheng to his side and sat down, looking like he was about to have a long talk with him: "Huo Cheng, tell your father honestly, are you stimulated? I am your father, you have It's okay to tell me anything."

Huo Cheng looked at him: "No."

Huo Tingxiao chatted with Huo Cheng again and again for ten minutes, but still didn't ask why he suddenly wanted to go back to China. In the end, he could only compromise: "Well, if you insist on returning to China, I have no objection."

He thinks this is the rebellious period when Huo Cheng finally arrives.

With Huo Tingxiao's approval, Huo Cheng didn't appear ecstatic, he still replied "um" lightly.

"If you want to transfer back to China to study, there are still a lot of formalities to go through. I will be responsible for helping you hand over from the school, but you have to think about which school you will study in after returning to China, and where do you plan to live? Dad? You still have to stay here, do you plan to go home alone or live with your grandfather?"

Huo Cheng thought for a moment and replied, "I live alone."

Huo Tingxiao did not agree: "you should go live with your grandfather. You are not yet an adult. I can rest assured that someone will take care of you."

"… Um."

"I'll call your grandpa in a while. Have you thought about the school?"

"Well." Huo Cheng nodded, "The No. 1 private middle school in City A."
