Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

After Jiang Chengyu helped He Ziyu pack his luggage, he didn't linger. He went home, tidied up a bit, and then went out with Jiang Guosheng.

In the past few days, his father has started taking him to some social events, where he meets company executives. Every time they come home, his father will specifically introduce the background of these executives. I wonder if this is laying the groundwork for him to take over the company in the future.

……

Three days later, in the early morning, the group departed from their respective residences to Wolseong International Airport.

He Ziyu was so excited the night before that he barely slept. After getting in the car, he was so sleepy that he leaned on Jiang Chengyu's shoulder and dozed off.

After an unknown amount of time, He Ziyu felt someone gently pat his shoulder. He opened his eyes and found that the car had stopped at the entrance of the airport terminal.

Jiang Chengyu: "Ayu, we've arrived."

He Ziyu yawned, sat up straight, and stretched out his right hand in front of Jiang Chengyu.

Jiang Chengyu understood immediately and took out a mint from her pocket and placed it in his palm.

He Ziyu unwrapped a mint and popped it into his mouth, instantly sobering up considerably. When he opened the door to get out of the car, he found that the driver had already helped them take their suitcases out of the trunk.

"I'll help you with your luggage."

"Uncle Chen, please wait," He Ziyu said, grabbing the handle of the suitcase. "We can go in ourselves."

"Then, young masters, please be careful on your journey. Call me anytime if anything happens."

"OK."

There weren't many people at the airport in the early morning, and the two quickly checked in and went through security.

"Ah Yu, are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat."

He Ziyu nodded, "We also need to buy motion sickness medicine."

He hadn't flown in so long that he had almost forgotten he was prone to motion sickness. He only remembered that he hadn't brought any motion sickness medication when he overheard two young girls talking about it while going through security.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyu patted his head and said, "No need to buy, I have some in my bag."

"You brought it?" He Ziyu asked, somewhat surprised. "Aren't you immune to airsickness?"

"I brought this for you."

"But I don't think I told you I get airsick, did I?"

"I did say that," Jiang Chengyu looked at He Ziyu, "We talked about bungee jumping before, and you said you couldn't stand the feeling of weightlessness, like being on a boat or an airplane, you just couldn't handle it."

Upon hearing this, He Ziyu felt a strange, indescribable emotion welling up inside him.

He never expected that what he had casually said back then would be remembered by Jiang Chengyu, and that he would remember it to this day.

Noticing He Ziyu's unusual behavior, Jiang Chengyu asked curiously, "What's wrong, Ziyu?"

He Ziyu scratched his palms and couldn't help but say, "Brother Yu, you're so good to me..."

Whether it's the previous life or this life.

The boy in front of her only ever had himself in his eyes.

Jiang Chengyu blushed a little when she was suddenly praised.

He smiled and said, "I'm your boyfriend, isn't it only natural for me to be good to you?"

He Ziyu nodded slightly, a sentence he had once seen flashing through his mind.

There's no such thing as "should" or "shouldn't," only "whether one is willing or not."

Jiang Chengyu's willingness to treat him well was his good fortune, and only those who have been reborn can understand how hard-won this good fortune is.

……

Before long, the two arrived at Starbucks.

He Ziyu found a seat and asked Jiang Chengyu to buy breakfast while he watched the luggage.

Jiang Nanqiao posted a photo in the travel group.

The photo shows her and Han Zhiruo sitting in a car, leaning together and making a peace sign.

[Jiang Nanqiao: We're almost there, how about you guys?]

[He Ziyu: Having breakfast at Starbucks at the airport.]

[Jiang Nanqiao: Wow! You guys are way too early!]

[He Ziyu: Better to be early than late.]

[He Ziyu: Have you had breakfast yet? Do you need me to buy you some?]

[Han Zhiruo: No need, we've already eaten.]

[Jingran: Ayu, I've passed through security. I'm coming to find you guys now. Please order me two chicken paninis!!!]

[Bei Yao: One...]

Traveling is more fun with more people. The six of us chatted enthusiastically in the group chat, and we were already having a great time even before we met in person.

Although He Ziyu had many friends in his previous life, they never went on trips together. This was partly because their feelings for each other were not pure enough, and partly because they didn't have much in common.

They can drink together, sing together, and flaunt their wealth together, but they can't sit down and have a quiet chat together. It's as if once they take off their masks, they become complete strangers.

Five minutes later, Jingran and Beiyao arrived at Starbucks.

Jingran plopped down opposite He Ziyu, panting, and said, "I overslept today and didn't have time for breakfast. My stomach has been growling the whole way here..."

Bei Yao: "That's not a reason for you to order two paninis."

Jingran: "You talk too much!"

After their argument, the two took off their down jackets, revealing matching hoodies underneath.

He Ziyu recognized the brand's hoodies, which are known for their affordable luxury and have been very popular in the last two years. The ones they were wearing were the couple's style launched this season.

"Your outfits are great, they must have cost a lot of money!"

Jingran adjusted Beiyao's hat and said, "My mom bought it, I don't know how much it cost."

Upon hearing this, He Ziyu felt a sour taste, as if he had just eaten a lemon.

Jingran and Beiyao's accidental public announcement of their relationship immediately garnered their parents' support. Now, not only do they no longer need to avoid each other, but they can also openly hold hands and wear matching outfits...

These are precisely the wishes that He Ziyu has always dreamed of fulfilling.

A short while later, Jiang Chengyu brought back the breakfast he had bought.

While waiting for Jiang Nanqiao and Han Zhiruo, the four of them ate and chatted.

Jiang Chengyu noticed that He Ziyu was staring at the clothes of the two people opposite him. Realizing something, he picked up his phone and sent a private message to Han Zhiruo.

[Jiang Chengyu: Could you please provide your home address?]

Han Zhiruo assumed that Jiang Chengyu was just making a record for travel safety, so he sent it to him without thinking.

Jiang Chengyu replied with a thank you, then found a friend in her contacts who did personal shopping in the US, sent him photos of several hoodies, and asked him to ship them to the appropriate address.

……

After Han Zhiruo and Jiang Nanqiao finished the security check, it was almost time to check their tickets. The six of them moved to the ticket gate and started queuing.

At their insistence, the round-trip tickets were all in economy class, and no assistants accompanied them. However, He Ziyu was not worried. After all, everyone except Jing Ran was very mature, especially Han Zhiruo and Jiang Chengyu, who were fluent in spoken English. It would definitely be safe to be with them.

After boarding, everyone found their seats according to their assigned number.

He Ziyu chose a window seat not because he wanted to see the scenery, but because he didn't have to talk to the flight attendants while sitting there, and Jiang Chengyu could help him choose his meal when needed.

"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."

Having taken motion sickness medication beforehand, He Ziyu soon began to feel sleepy, his eyelids drooping. Jiang Chengyu helped him put on a neck pillow, covered him with a blanket, and took out a book from his backpack to start reading.

The flight from Yuecheng to the United States takes more than ten hours each way, and the journey can be quite boring. Jiang Chengyu was worried that He Ziyu wouldn't be in the mood to read, so he specially downloaded several two-player games for him on his tablet.

However, it seems that mini-games are no longer of any use.

He Ziyu was completely unaware of the entire process from taxiing to takeoff until Jiang Chengyu put down his tray table and set out lunch, at which point he groggily woke up.

"Breakfast is here?"

"It's lunch." Jiang Chengyu handed him a torn piece of yogurt.

lunch?

How come he remembers it was seven in the morning when he closed his eyes?

"I slept for so long?" He Ziyu stretched lazily in his seat, took a sip of his yogurt, and said, "If I take another nap, will we reach our destination?"

Jiang Chengyu: "If you can fall asleep."

He Ziyu really couldn't sleep, and when he woke up, he was wide awake.

Because he had taken motion sickness medication, he wasn't dizzy. He would look out the window at the scenery for a while, and chat with Jiang Chengyu for a while. He was in a state of high excitement.

"Brother Yu, is there a bungee jumping place over there? Let's go bungee jumping!"

"It's winter now, and many places are closed. Let's wait until summer vacation to go."

"What about skiing? Winter and skiing go perfectly together!"

"Don't you dislike sports?"

"That was before, but I like it now," He Ziyu said, winking. "Maybe it's because I love everything about her."

In his past life, he was timid and dared not do anything, and died when he was only in his early twenties. In this life, God has given him an extra life, so he must cherish it!

……

Two hours later, He Ziyu's excitement had completely worn off, and he fell asleep again, leaning on Jiang Chengyu's shoulder.

The cabin was dark, and the passengers were all resting quietly. Accompanied by the regular sound of the engine, He Ziyu slept soundly and did not wake up even when the plane encountered turbulence.

However, he had a dream during that brief period of time.

In his dream, he heard the flight attendants trying to calm everyone down over the intercom, but the plane continued to shake more and more violently. Some children were so frightened that they cried loudly, and the young passengers also began to become anxious.

He Ziyu felt a pang of panic and quickly grabbed Jiang Chengyu's hand.

Then, just like in her past life, she asked in despair and fear, "Brother Yu, are we going to die?"

Jiang Chengyu didn't speak, but just quietly looked at him.

Startled by this unusual situation, He Ziyu clung tightly to Jiang Chengyu, his voice almost pleading, "It doesn't matter if I die, but you must live. I don't want to, and I can't, lose you again..."

"Ayu?"

"How are you?"

Jiang Chengyu's call successfully pulled He Ziyu out of his nightmare.

He Ziyu opened his eyes in a daze and saw Jiang Chengyu looking worried in front of him. Without hesitation, he threw himself into Jiang Chengyu's arms.

Thankfully, it was just a nightmare...

The plane is still flying smoothly, and everything is fine.

"Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here." Jiang Chengyu gently comforted He Ziyu, the words he had just uttered in his sleep echoing in his ears.

He said: I don't want to, and I can't, lose you again...

Why "again"?
