1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 126: Ten Years of Answers
This is the boldest thing Meng Shulan has done since her rebirth. She actually took the initiative to confess to Gu Hansong.

This was the first time she had done such a thing in her two lifetimes. Needless to say, she felt very nervous. Her heart was beating fast and her face was red. She didn't dare to look at him, but just kept her head down and stared at her toes.

Meng Shulan was very sure that he was interested in her, but how would he respond?
When did this person start to be interested in me?

Did you have feelings for each other before, or did this feeling just develop in the past few months?

If he liked her before, why didn't he say anything in his previous life?
Why did you distance yourself from me all these years?
I have a lot of questions to ask.

But the ruthless gap between the two worlds means that some answers are destined to remain unattainable.

Meng Shulan remained silent, waiting for his answer.

But she waited for a very long time, maybe four or five minutes, and the people around her didn't react.

"?"

Doesn't he want to say something?

I'm confessing my feelings to him!

Meng Shulan felt a little strange and was about to turn her head to look at him when Gu Hansong grabbed her hand that was resting on the stone.

Meng Shulan shuddered all over.

Okay, okay, expressing it through actions is direct enough!
Her face turned even redder, her heart beat faster and faster, and her brain felt like it was filled with paste and couldn't think straight.

So this is what it’s like to interact with someone you like!

My previous self was so pitiful.

A faint sadness welled up in Meng Shulan's heart.

Just at this moment, Gu Hansong, who was originally about one meter away, moved over and sat side by side with her, shoulder to shoulder.

Meng Shulan's back tensed up.

Fortunately, he didn't take the next step and just sat side by side holding hands.

After a while, when Meng Shulan's energy had subsided, she turned her head to look at him, and then found that Gu Hansong was just like her, staring at the ground and not daring to look at anyone, his ears and neck were also red.

He was so innocent when he was young, but he also had a shy, awkward and embarrassed side.

very nice.

I wish they could stay this happy forever.

But would God really be so kind to her? Not only would he give her a new life, but he would also give her a life of carefree, healthy, and longevity?

Meng Shulan wondered if she was too greedy.

Forget it, I don’t want to think too much about it. I have to say what I want to say, otherwise it would be unfair to him.

Meng Shulan shrank back and tried to pull her hand out of his grasp.

However, Gu Hansong held on very tightly, and seemed reluctant to let go. He raised his delicate phoenix eyes and frowned at her.

Facing each other at such a close distance, his face was so handsome that it almost killed her.

Meng Shulan said, "I have something else to say. After you listen, decide whether you still want to hold my hand."

Gu Hansong tightened his grip, "Do you want to go back on your word?"

"What do you mean by regret? It's not what you think."

What's wrong with this guy? He suddenly became fierce.

Am I the kind of person who treats feelings as a joke?

Gu Hansong: "If it's not true, then don't say anything."

"Huh? You're too overbearing!"

Gu Hansong didn't say anything, but just held her hand tightly.

After waiting for so long, they finally reached this point. What's wrong with being a little domineering?

Meng Shulan's heartbeat began to speed up again. This man's dominance really hurt her!
Really...

"Gu Hansong, if, I mean if, my time is short, would you still be willing to be with me?"

At this point, Meng Shulan no longer needs to ask questions about whether to get married or not.

In this day and age, people are dating with the intention of getting married, so there is no need to ask about those things.

Gu Hansong didn't understand what Meng Shulan meant.

"What do you mean by time is short?"

He looked into her eyes, puzzled. Meng Shulan: "For example, an accident, or an illness. For example, I have an incurable disease and only have ten years to live."

This is what Meng Shulan wanted to say to him.

Confession is just confirmation, telling him that the main reason is that his life is short.

She just said it, but she felt so uncomfortable in her heart. Although it had just begun, she could no longer let go.

Sure enough, some things are hard to let go once you have them, even for just a moment.

This may be the reason why Meng Shulan avoided and was unwilling to face it before.

Meng Shulan tried hard not to let the smile fade, but her eyes were serious.

Gu Hansong frowned. He didn't understand what she meant and why she said that.

After a while, he asked, "What do you mean? Are you feeling unwell?"

Meng Shulan shook her head, "No, I mean if."

"if?"

Gu Hansong thought for a moment, "So, are you testing me?"

test?

Meng Shulan: "No, this is just a hypothesis."

"What if?"

Gu Hansong: "That's a ridiculous assumption. I won't answer it."

Meng Shulan: “…”

This person didn't play by the rules. He didn't offer any comfort or promises or anything like that about the future. He actually refused to answer!
Meng Shulan: "You know my grandpa, right? He was said to have liver cancer and passed away in his forties. I heard that there's a chance this disease can be passed down to future generations."

Gu Hansong: "Who told you that?"

"I……"

In the previous life, this was the hypothesis given by the hospital!

How do I tell him this?
Gu Hansong is a very meticulous person and he will find any loopholes.

Meng Shulan was a little bit at a loss for words and started to quibble, "I'm just giving an analogy. It's a one-time thing, not an absolute one. If I got this disease at such a young age and only had ten years left to live, what would you do?"

It seems that this problem cannot be avoided.

Gu Hansong: "I will take ten years to answer you."

I'll give you ten years to answer, that's his answer.

Meng Shulan was stunned and looked at him blankly, not knowing how to react for a moment.

She thought of many possibilities, and also thought that he would firmly say that he would stay with her, even if it was only for a short time.

But he never expected that his answer would take ten years to compose.

This……

Meng Shulan didn't know how to answer him. Her eyes were red and her heart was filled with emotion.

"Gu Hansong, will you regret it?"

“I didn’t know until ten years later.”

"Okay." This will also take ten years.

Meng Shulan laughed and put her head on his shoulder.

The two sat on the rock and chatted for a while, then prepared to go back.

I went out to buy some manuscript paper, but ended up being away for an hour. When I got back to the yard, I didn't know how to explain it to my sister.

After the two stood up, their holding hands separated.

The feelings of this era are young and pure, with just the right distance, and are very beautiful.

Meng Shulan got off the bus at the town entrance. She asked Gu Hansong to go first and she would walk back.

Although the two have expressed their feelings to each other and decided to be together, the current situation is not suitable for public disclosure.

Just hold on a little longer, there is still half a year left. After next year's college entrance examination, she will take Gu Hansong's hand and take him back home.

Gu Hansong didn't say much and just nodded slightly.
