Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The next morning, just as An Xiaohai woke up, the door to his hospital room was pushed open. A petite figure rushed over and threw herself into An Xiaohai's arms.

It's Lin Xuan'er, that foolish woman who never married because of herself!

An Xiaohai was in a lot of pain from the impact, but he didn't blame Lin Xuan'er at all. Instead, he reached out his left hand to hug her and stroked her long, flowing hair.

In another life, when An Xiaohai stepped out of prison, the first thing he saw was his mother, Pan Zhuangzhuang, and this silly woman.

At that time, Lin Xuan'er's hair was already gray.

Lin Xuan'er was quickly pulled away. Originally, she could only stand outside the ward window and talk to An Xiaohai, but when she saw An Xiaohai wrapped in bandages, she rushed in without hesitation.

"Xiao Hai, it's all my fault! It's all my fault!..."

Lin Xuan'er cried so hard that her face was streaked with tears, and she could no longer utter a complete sentence. She could only keep blaming herself.

An Xiaohai accidentally stabbed someone to death because of Lin Xuan'er.

Not long ago, An Xiaohai returned to the village for summer vacation. He was playing mahjong with someone at the village entrance when Pan Zhuangzhuang rushed over and said that Lin Xuan'er had been bullied. Without thinking, An Xiaohai and Pan Zhuangzhuang rushed over together.

Apojiao Village is a fishing village, and most of the villagers are fishermen. At the end of the village, there is a small fish market where Lin Xuan'er helps her family sell fish during her holidays.

That day, a group of hooligans came to the fish market. The leader was the son of the village chief of the neighboring Shatou Village. This guy was a notorious scoundrel who usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly because of his father, the village chief.

Lin Xuan'er was a well-known beauty, and these hooligans naturally couldn't resist going up to flirt with her.

Although Lin Xuan'er looks very cute and gentle, she has a very fierce personality.

When An Xiaohai and Pan Zhuangzhuang arrived, Lin Xuan'er was confronting the group of guys with a sharp knife for picking fish. However, the other side had a large number of people and they had forced Lin Xuan'er into a corner.

How could An Xiaohai stand this? Without saying a word, he rushed over and started fighting with the other party.

In the chaos, a sharp knife somehow ended up in An Xiaohai's hands, and An Xiaohai, without knowing why, plunged the knife into the other person's abdomen.

It all happened so fast that An Xiaohai was still in shock when the police arrived. The man who had been stabbed, however, was already dead.

This is why An Xiaohai went to prison.

"Xuan'er, don't cry, I'm fine!" An Xiaohai's words were steady and powerful, like a strong tranquilizer, and Lin Xuan'er quickly regained control of her emotions.

"Officer Liu, please, please let Xuan'er stay here with me for a few minutes, okay? Just a few minutes, please!" An Xiaohai pleaded earnestly, looking at Liu Cong.

"This... is not in accordance with the regulations!" Liu Cong was clearly in a dilemma.

"Officer Liu, just three minutes, please? Please!" An Xiaohai pleaded again.

If Liu Cong agrees, An Xiaohai will not only get to spend some time with Lin Xuan'er, but it will also be an excellent opportunity to survive, which An Xiaohai cannot miss.

"Alright then, but I have to be there. Three minutes, you only have three minutes!" Liu Cong finally relented, still holding a sliver of sympathy for this college student prisoner.

"Thank you, Officer Liu! Xuan'er, come here!"

Upon hearing An Xiaohai's call, Lin Xuan'er threw herself into his arms again and burst into tears.

Liu Cong glanced at the two of them, found a seat, and sat down. He then looked down at the registration book in his hand. There was nothing interesting about the registration book; he was simply showing An Xiaohai and Lin Xuan'er the utmost respect.

An Xiaohai gently hugged Lin Xuan'er, nuzzling his cheek against her hair, and inadvertently brought his mouth close to her ear:

"Xuan'er, keep crying, but listen carefully, you have to do a few things for me."

Lin Xuan'er continued to sob, but she tightened her grip on An Xiaohai's arm slightly; she had heard what An Xiaohai had said.

"First, tell my mom to prepare 30,000 yuan at any cost, then go to Wan Shu Xing on Bading West Street, ask the owner to order Zhonghua cigarettes, leave the money and leave, don't take the cigarettes."

But remember to write my name and the prison where I'm being held on a piece of paper and put it in the money.

Second, have Pan Zhuangzhuang go to Wang Tiejun, the captain of the anti-drug squad in Shenhai City, six days later, and try his best to pass him a note.

The note had the words "Shanghai Hawk" written on the front and my name and the prison I was serving my sentence in red on the back.

Third, tell Pan Zhuangzhuang to stop messing around outside and find a job on Guoqiang South Road. Don't worry about the salary; even being an apprentice is fine. We'll talk about it when I get out.

Fourth, you must not give up on your studies. It doesn't matter if you didn't get into university this time. You can retake the exam for another year and choose a major such as biomedical science, finance and accounting, or English.

You must do these four things well. If you do them well, I will have a chance to get out sooner. Do you understand?

Lin Xuan'er stopped sobbing and looked up at An Xiaohai, her eyes filled with surprise. The fact that she hadn't gotten into university happened after An Xiaohai was arrested, so logically An Xiaohai shouldn't have known about it.

"Did you understand?" An Xiaohai looked into Lin Xuan'er's eyes and asked softly with a smile.

Lin Xuan'er nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it! Xiao Hai, you have to take good care of yourself. I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes, I will always wait for you!"

Seeing Lin Xuan'er looking up at him with a serious expression, An Xiaohai's eyes reddened.

No matter how long it takes, I will always wait for you!

If this were said 30 years from now, almost no one would believe it, but An Xiaohai knew that this seemingly foolish woman in front of him had actually done it.

Lin Xuan'er waited for him for a full 20 years! Twenty years later, she gave him her whole heart and soul without hesitation, but he was too much of a scoundrel at the time, so much so that he completely betrayed her feelings.

This time it won't be like that. I will take good care of you for the rest of my life!

An Xiaohai could no longer control his emotions and grabbed Lin Xuan'er, kissing her passionately. Lin Xuan'er was startled, but immediately began to respond enthusiastically.

"Ahem... three minutes are up!" came Liu Cong's reminder from the side.

An Xiaohai didn't blame Liu Cong. Liu Cong had already been quite accommodating. An Xiaohai gently pushed Lin Xuan'er away.

"Xuan'er, it's time. Go now, and take good care of yourself!"

"Okay, I'll take good care of myself, and so will you!"

Lin Xuan'er bit her lip, forcing herself not to shed another tear, and turned away cleanly and decisively. Lin Xuan'er had admired An Xiaohai since childhood; to her, An Xiaohai's words were the truth.

Lin Xuan'er was determined to fulfill the request An Xiaohai had made to her. She knew perfectly well that An Xiaohai was trying to save himself, and she couldn't afford to ruin it.

Is it worth it?

Watching Lin Xuan'er's departing figure, Liu Cong couldn't help but ask. He knew a lot about An Xiaohai's situation and was well aware of the entanglement between him and Lin Xuan'er.

"It's worth it!" An Xiaohai smiled and nodded gently.

In Liu Cong's eyes, this nod was incredibly heavy!

"Alright!..." Liu Cong let out a soft breath: "You should rest well. From now on, you must study hard, reform yourself well, and strive for a reduced sentence."

"Okay, I will, thank you, Officer Liu!"

Liu Cong glanced at An Xiaohai, and originally wanted to say something, but in the end he could only let out a long sigh.

Liu Cong left.

An Xiaohai lay on the hospital bed, looking at the ceiling, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Everything that needed to be done has been done; now all that's left is to wait.
