My girlfriend was reborn.

Chapter 160 My Heart Aches for Cheng Shuangjiang

early morning.

Zhou Heming woke up.

He first felt a dryness in his throat.

After heating up the fireplace all night, he now feels that if he pinches his nose even slightly, it will bleed.

Then, Zhou Heming felt the softness of the girls hugging him on both sides.

Both of them are the kind of girls who habitually hug something when they fall asleep. Lu Qian used to hug a shark-shaped pillow she bought from the furniture store, while Cheng Shuangjiang hugged a blanket or pillow.

After getting together with Zhou Heming, the object of their affection became their boyfriend.

Both of them looked very tired, their breathing even, their warm bodies pressed against Zhou Heming.

After briefly recalling last night, Zhou Heming immediately stopped his imagination from wandering.

If lying in a bed with three people on the day of the college entrance exam was a dream he never even imagined in his life, then what happened after Lu Qian woke up last night was a scene Zhou Heming would never dare to imagine in his next life.

Although they only scratched the surface because they didn't have any of those fancy things, it was still a sleepless night for Zhou Heming.

As a result, Cheng Shuangjiang, who is usually an early riser, couldn't wake up today.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heming felt that the room was not only warm but also very quiet.

He glanced out the window.

Snow stopped.

Although the sky remained overcast, the breathtaking snowfall of yesterday had vanished, leaving only a biting wind that occasionally pattered against the windows with a low, muffled sound.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Heming decided not to get up, so as not to disturb the two girls.

He looked at the sky outside, contemplating the future.

If the weather continues to clear, the rescue team should arrive by the afternoon at the latest, and the three of them will soon be out of a job.

Zhou Heming admitted that he did have some thoughts in his mind, hoping that the daily life of the three of them would not be limited to this room.

But he was indeed restraining himself, telling himself that it was time to wake up from the dream.

The three of them were able to achieve harmony in this little house because they didn't need to consider anything outside, they didn't need to think about tomorrow, they could simply enjoy the present moment.

Once they leave, Zhou Heming will become Lu Bai's boyfriend again, while Cheng Shuangjiang will revert to being her neighbor.

At this moment, Zhou Heming felt the girl on his left move. He turned his head and saw Cheng Shuangjiang open her sleepy eyes.

“Ah He. Hmm, Zhou Heming.”

Cheng Shuang spoke subconsciously, then immediately changed her form of address.

The moment Zhou Heming saw her, everything he had been thinking about vanished.

At least for now, he doesn't need to let those thoughts interfere with his current happiness.

"Just call me Ahe."

Zhou Heming said softly, and gave her a light kiss on the forehead.

"Frostfall."

Call her name.

After staring at Zhou Heming for a moment, the girl immediately bit her lower lip, her cheeks flushed, and looked away.

"When you call this name, are you thinking of me or...?"

Before Cheng Shuangjiang could finish her words, which were tinged with jealousy, Zhou Heming pulled her close and stole her words with a deep kiss.

Zhou Heming only released the girl when her breathing quickened, whether due to a rapid heartbeat or lack of oxygen.

"I think of you, I call out to you, even if you're a little clumsy, introverted, and awkward, I still love you."

once.

The reborn Cheng Shuangjiang used this method to tell Zhou Heming that he was very important and how much she loved him.

Now, Zhou Heming is telling 18-year-old Cheng Shuangjiang in the same way that you don't need to pretend to be anyone, just be yourself, and someone will love you.

Perhaps it was because Cheng Shuangjiang had such a personality before that, after being reborn and experiencing those things, she was able to understand what kind of affirmation Zhou Heming, who had a similar personality, needed most.

"You don't need to try to distinguish yourself from her. No matter what kind of person you become, I will always choose you, the you in front of me."

Zhou Heming put all his thoughts into words, and then he saw that Cheng Shuangjiang's eyes and nose were red, and tears were about to spill out.

He gently embraced the girl, letting her bury her face in his chest, and patted her back lightly to comfort her.

"Sigh, Heming, you've made the girl cry again."

Just then, Lu Qian's voice came from behind. She leaned her head close to Zhou Heming's ear and whispered.

"No, this is it."

"It was touching."

Cheng Shuangjiang raised her head and answered while sobbing.

"Alright, you can be touched all you want, I'm going to get up and wash up."

Lu Qian kissed Zhou Heming's cheek, climbed off the bed, and looked out the window.

"The snow has stopped. I wonder if communications have been restored yet."

She turned on her phone, which she had turned off to save battery, and went into the bathroom.

Cheng Shuangjiang trembled slightly in Zhou Heming's arms. She raised her face, and her pitiful appearance made the young man feel a pang of heartache. He kissed away her tears and then covered her pale cherry-colored lips with his own.

"This is the 137th time."

"Our lips parted," Zhou Heming whispered.

Last night, with Lu Qian stirring things up, the two of them went a bit too far and were just one step away from taking it to the next, so they kissed quite a few times.

"So you still remember."

Cheng Shuangjiang smiled and smoothed the hair on Zhou Heming's forehead.

"I won't forget it."

After Zhou Heming finished speaking, he remained silent for a moment.

He knew that the promises he made now were probably just a mirage, and if he left this little house, he would probably have to bury everything that had happened in the past two days deep in his heart.

But I also want to make a vow at this moment.

Even if we leave this place and have to forget everything that happened here, I will never forget everything we did, and I will never forget the love we had for each other.

In response, Cheng Shuangjiang raised her face.

"It's okay if you forget, Ahe. As long as you can be happy, even if everything that happened here was a dream, it doesn't matter to me."

She kissed Zhou Heming again.

After washing up, Lu Qian stood at the bathroom door, looking at the two people whispering sweet nothings on the bed, and smiled helplessly.

*
Just as Zhou Heming had predicted.

Communication was restored in the morning.

Although the signal was very poor, at least the school was informed that the three were safe.

According to Cheng Shuangjiang, this sudden heavy snowfall is over, and the area will experience a long period of gloomy weather, with temperatures plummeting and winter settling overnight.

In the afternoon, rescue vehicles from relevant departments arrived, and the three people, wrapped in warm clothing, were put into the vehicles and taken back to the school.

When getting on the bus.

Zhou Heming glanced at Cheng Shuangjiang, then took Lu Bai's hand.

He is very clear.

This period of time was a memory left to him by Lu Bai because he loved him deeply.

This is a memory that is only meant to be cherished; it cannot be spoken of, cannot be thought of, yet cannot be forgotten.

Next, Zhou Heming will spend the rest of his life with Lu Bai, while that stubborn eighteen-year-old girl is destined to become a memory for him.

He confessed his love, received a response, and they pledged their lives to each other, spending unforgettable sleepless nights together. What more could he ask for? What more could he possibly desire?
On the way back, Zhou Heming and his group...

Fu Yuqing and Cheng Lingjun were walking on the snow-covered grassland.

The snow at the school wasn't as heavy as in the forest, but even so, deep footprints of the two people were still left on the pristine white snow.

Without the sun, the gloomy sky seemed very low, creating an indescribable sense of oppression.

The two walked one after the other toward the distant hillside.

On that hillside, there was a tree covered in snow. If Zhou Heming and Lu Bai were here, they would definitely recognize it as the same tree they had seen under the moonlight that night.

The footprints stretched all the way to the base of the tree.

The vast, snow-white earth, the leaden, gloomy sky, the solitary tree, and the two people walking slowly together create a desolate and lonely scene.

"This is a birch tree."

Fu Yuqing pointed to the tree and said in a deep voice.

“There are many here, row upon row, to prevent sandstorms and conserve water and soil.”

She then pointed to the distant forest. "Actually, the people here are sometimes like birch trees. Once you've stayed here long enough and experienced the wind and sand, even the most difficult times don't seem so bad."

She seemed to be sighing.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lingjun walked to the tree.

“I used to think that you have your aspirations and I have my responsibilities. We both understand each other’s personalities and know that we can’t abandon what we believe in.”

Fu Yuqing looked over.

Compared to when they parted, Cheng Lingjun seemed to have changed a lot, yet it also seemed that nothing had changed.

"But later, Shuangjiang told me that people like us like to hide all our worries and overthink things by ourselves. Sometimes, we say we're doing it for the other person's good, but we're actually thinking about ourselves."

Cheng Lingjun reached out and gently stroked the rough bark.

“Like us, I feel that you have fulfilled your wish by staying here, and you would be unhappy if you were with me. You also feel that I need to take care of my family and it is impossible for me to give up everything to come to you. Neither of us has the courage to face everything that has changed because of our choice.”

"But it's already very late."

Fu Yuqing knew Cheng Lingjun's consciousness, and she also came to the birch tree.

"These were planted when we separated, and now they're growing tall and lush."

The two have been separated for twenty-two years.

It's even less likely that Fu Yuqing would abandon the students here and go to Jiangcheng to find Cheng Lingjun.

It's even more unbelievable that Cheng Lingjun would give up his job in Jiangcheng to stay here with her.

Even if the two of them made such a choice, it would leave a lingering resentment in their relationship, and they would live in the shadow of regret for the rest of their lives.

"Actually, I think that although Shuangjiang looks only eighteen years old, she lives a more enlightened life than us forty-year-olds."

Cheng Lingjun turned around and looked at Fu Yuqing.

"She told me not to let one regret lead to an even bigger one. In this world, there is nothing that two people who truly love each other cannot overcome together."

"Shuangjiang is indeed a very courageous girl."

Fu Yuqing nodded slightly.

"Yuqing, what I mean is, are you willing to work with me to overcome the difficulties we may encounter next?"

Cheng Lingjun said solemnly.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean?"

Fu Yuqing was taken aback and suddenly looked at Cheng Lingjun.

“I think your idea of ​​building a school here is good, but you also need to consider the actual situation. Moreover, you, as a teacher, definitely cannot manage both. On the other hand, I have been a teacher in a key high school for many years and have served as the head of the teaching and research group and the grade group leader. I have a lot of experience in school management.”

As Cheng Lingjun spoke, he reached out to grab Fu Yuqing's hand.

She instinctively tried to dodge, but Cheng Lingjun quickly grabbed her and held her tightly with his other hand.

“I can use my connections to establish a corresponding education support project here. This will definitely be a big project, requiring a lot of help and a long time. So, Qing, would you like to work with me?”

Fu Yuqing stared blankly at Cheng Lingjun.

Despite her weathered appearance, she now displayed a shyness reminiscent of a young girl.

"I do."

She nodded, and under the birch tree, she welcomed a happiness that was twenty-two years overdue.

Although there were some unexpected incidents.

But the variety show still proceeded smoothly.

Due to the cold weather, there were fewer outdoor activities, and most classes were held at the school.

Regarding the fact that there were very few clips taken at the ranger's hut that day, He Youwu did not criticize the three of them.

On the one hand, it's best that the three of them are safe and sound; on the other hand, the cabin was without power at the time, so it's reasonable that they didn't record anything.

However, He Youwu found it strange that while Zhou Heming and Lu Bai were fine, Cheng Shuangjiang seemed to have figured things out after that day and suddenly distanced herself from Zhou Heming quite a bit.

It's that kind of relationship that went from having great chemistry as a couple to just being ordinary collaborating guests, like the relationship between Ji Yanshi and Xiang Yunlang and Liu Xunzhu.

Could it be that the three of them said something while they were in the cabin?

At least, it's good that everyone is alright.

He Youwu didn't dare to ask further.

It was late September.

While Su Hong and the others were still in Ningjiang, enduring the scorching sun and experiencing the lingering heat of late summer in one of the four "furnace cities".

Zhou Heming and his group were freezing in Hanhai Township.

Fortunately, after the previous heavy snow, the sponsors provided a lot of winter clothes and some heating equipment, so we wouldn't be woken up by the cold at night.

It was also thanks to the controversy surrounding Liu Xunzhu and Xiang Yunlang, and the subsequent love triangle involving Zhou Heming, that the show gained popularity.

night.

Although there are no variety shows airing tonight, there is "Goodbye, Pear" airing, and it happens to be the episode featuring Zhou Heming and Lu Bai.

Because they had communicated with the production team in advance, the six guests gathered together to watch a TV series today.

I don't know if it's because Zhou Heming and Lu Bai's performance on the variety show boosted the drama, or if the drama itself is of excellent quality, but by the time this episode aired, there was already a lot of online discussion about it.

After the announcement of Lu Bai and Zhou Heming's appearances, viewers from both sides gathered at the broadcast site of the new episode of "Goodbye, Pear".

After waiting a few minutes, the staff refreshed the webpage, and the video appeared.

"It's started, it's started."

As an actress, Ji Yanshi naturally pays attention to the film and television industry. This drama has recently become quite popular, and she is watching it.

Liu Xunzhu didn't look at it, but he had searched for relevant information beforehand. When he glanced at Ji Yan, he also seemed to be very interested.

Xiang Yunlang doesn't usually watch TV dramas, but when he heard that Zhou Heming and Lu Bai were in the show, he watched all the previous episodes in his spare time. He would even secretly wipe away tears when he encountered tear-jerking and touching scenes.

For Zhou Heming.

Public execution.

He realized that he was indeed not suited to be an actor.

What a shame.

He glanced at Cheng Shuangjiang's profile, who was sitting in the front row. Since returning, she had deliberately distanced herself from Zhou Heming. Several times, he tried to talk to her, but the girl just kept avoiding him, as if she had returned to that morning.

Only Zhou Heming could sense that both she and he were actually trying their best to restrain their feelings for each other.

Even a single glance could unleash the overwhelming surge of love.

The classroom went dark, and the TV series began to play.

Fortunately, Zhou Heming was able to immerse himself in the task, and before long, he was seriously studying the arrangement of shots and script.

The script is purely textual content. Many plots, while exciting when read only, become incredibly awkward when translated into visuals. Therefore, screenwriters need to have a certain ability to imagine the scenes so that the director doesn't have to improvise every time.

He plans to find people to prepare for filming his screenplay, "My Girlfriend Has Been Reborn," after he returns to school, and then participate in the College Student Film Festival early next year.

As I watched, I heard sniffling and sobbing coming from the classroom.

Zhou Heming initially thought it was Ji Yanshi, but upon closer inspection, he discovered it was actually Xiang Yunlang.

Ji Yanshi handed him a tissue, and Xiang Yunlang nodded with red eyes as he took it and wiped away his tears and snot.

Zhou Heming glanced at Lu Bai beside him, and the two smiled at each other.

At this point, the episode showed the wedding scene.

Just as director Lu Ban predicted, the wedding held in the funeral home was indeed a stark contrast with a strong visual impact.

Just like a photo of a hospital that Zhou Heming once saw, with newborns on one side and the elderly passing away on the other, it was full of narrative and left a deep impression.

Before he could savor it properly...

Liu Xunzhu suddenly exclaimed softly, pointing to a corner of the screen.

"Is this extra Cheng Shuangjiang?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanshi and Xiang Yunlang, who was still crying, immediately stared at the screen.

In the scene, Cheng Shuangjiang sits in the front row with a moving expression, exuding a faint sadness, showcasing her impressive acting skills.

The three of them immediately turned to look at Cheng Shuangjiang.

Although the relationship between Zhou Heming and the other two seemed to have eased somewhat after returning from the forest ranger's hut, there was still a subtle tension.

Is it going to explode now?

This made Xiang Yunlang afraid to cry.

However, Cheng Shuangjiang remained unmoved, as if the person on the screen was not herself.

After the episode ended, Lu Bai immediately opened his social media app and clicked on the relevant keywords.

Suddenly, I saw a trending topic.

#My heart aches for Cheng Shuangjiang
