My girlfriend is from the future!

"I say, if I were the reborn He Tianran, would you still believe me?"

People always like to subconsciously pursue things with extreme contrasts, because it is really fascinating. To put it in a vulgar way, it is to persuade prostitutes to become good people and to seduce good women to have affairs; to put it in a more artistic way, it is to watch the witch die of love and the conspirator die of loyalty; to watch the ascetic climax, the libertine beg for mercy, the lewd and immature, the cowardly and violent...

Human nature is common in certain situations. It is hard to say that Wen Liang, who hosted the prank at the time, did not have such a mischievous mentality, wanting to see what kind of crazy scene He Tianran, who seemed loyal and timid but was actually loveless and autistic, would be like after getting love and losing love.

Whether it was out of revenge or the aforementioned bad taste, now that the situation has changed and He Tianran has taken the initiative, he used the same trick again. He also wanted to see what kind of contrast this person who is now warm and bright in front of him will be when he loses his luster after all the trust...

At the very least, men also want to know what the unchanging "essence" of a person that women talk about is...

Besides, trusting He Tianran and believing in his rebirth are not the same thing in terms of trust...

When a person expresses trust to another person, it is based on the other person's past real experience, so the word "reality" is the important basis for the establishment of this trust; but now everyone is an adult, and the mysterious and fantasy word "rebirth" is destined to fade away as they grow older and their understanding of reality increases.

So, is this another joke, or a game or something...?
Hearing these words, Wen Liang was in a trance for a moment. Thoughts kept flashing through her mind, and a sense of familiarity slowly swept over her body and mind. The class reunion, Zhang Zhifan, Ye Jiaqi, and He Tianran in front of her, all these people and events connected together, finally making her remember something, and she couldn't help but tell it out loud:
"What you said...reminds me of the opening remarks that a bunch of my friends wrote for me during that prank."

He Tianran's eyes dimmed, and his whole body seemed to become gloomy.

"Then... do you think I will believe it?"

Wen Liang didn't look at him, but just lowered her head and recalled for a moment, then nodded and said briefly:

"You can."

"Why? Because of my childish and ignorant character? Because I was ignorant of the world at that time? Or because you are Wenliang?"

He Tianran's tone unconsciously became heavier, but Wen Liang didn't seem to notice. He raised his head and smiled calmly:
"I think you will believe this, not because my appearance is so fantastic or reasonable; not because I said I was reborn, I came from the future, I know you well, how much benefit I can bring to you, etc. These are not the main factors."

"…Then what do you think can make me believe you?"

"It's not about believing me..." Wen Liang corrected and paused, "It's about... accepting me. I don't think you at that time would reject someone who actively expressed his love to you. As for the words of rebirth or time travel, it's nothing more than a little bit of the romantic color you like. Whether the person who loves you is me, Wen Liang, or someone else, the result is actually the same."

Hearing this, He Tianran fell silent. Then, as if unwilling to accept this statement, he asked again in a huff:

"What about now? If I say I'm reborn, do you believe me?"

But as soon as he said this, the man seemed to lose his temper, his eyes drooped, and he said regretfully and self-deprecatingly:

"Haha~ I feel like I'm just making fun of myself for saying this kind of nonsense. Only a fool would believe it."

"I believe it~!"

A crisp response, like a pool of autumn water, instantly washed away He Tianran, who was habitually in a state of self-pity.

The man raised his head in disbelief, staring at the nonchalant and extremely "stupid" woman in front of him, only to see her repeating:
"I thought it was something else, it's just a rebirth, I believe you!"

"You... aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"

"Hmm? What did you lie to me about?"

Wen Liang narrowed his eyes, like a pair of crescent moons hanging on his face.

Just as Wen Liang said, she knew that if she had used similar words to deceive He Tianran back then, he would have accepted her because he lacked love in his youth. It was not because he believed in her, but because he lacked love.

Therefore, when a mentally sound adult believes in the word "rebirth" without any actual evidence, it is definitely not based on reality, rationality or... trust.

It's definitely something else besides these sober words.

The woman is really a good actor. Her movements and expressions don't make people feel that she is out of character at all. Does she really believe it?
He Tianran didn't think so, but he could clearly feel that the woman in front of him would fully cooperate with what he said, because from the other's smiling face, he saw a kind of... indulgence, a kind of permissiveness, a kind of preference, and all these emotional things were mixed together, and the man understood the entire content of this "trust".

As for his clumsy rebirth drama, Wen Liang...was more than happy to accept it.

In fact, there is another very appropriate word, called——

Drink poison to quench thirst.

She knew that what she said was a lie, but she was willing to believe it all. It was like swallowing a poison pill as if it were candy.

He Tianran wanted to ridicule him, but the moment Wen Liang said that he believed in himself, the man felt as if there were thousands of butterflies dancing in his stomach, and they were about to fly out as soon as he opened his mouth. He felt drunk and numb.

"So... now that you're reborn, what do you do next? Have you ever thought about changing anything? Like... making up for your regrets?"

Wen Liang supported his chin with his hand, tilted his head and asked with a smile.

Looking at the other person's smile, He Tianran's unprovoked desire for revenge instantly dissipated. Everything was fine in his life now. No one was at fault. Everyone's future was bright. If he really wanted to retaliate against something, it would make him seem too contrived...

He sighed deeply and smiled helplessly:
"It used to be, but now... it's gone."

"But if there were no regrets in life, how boring it would be..." Wen Liang was very dissatisfied with this answer. She seemed to really want to do something about it, so she continued: "Besides, there is no point in you being reborn like this. How about I help you find it?"

He Tianran laughed dumbly, "Can you help me find it?"

Wen Liang nodded, "Yes, I'll help you find it!"

"How to find it?"

"You don't have to worry about this, but before I help you start, He Tianran you have to agree to one condition of mine, only then will I be willing to help."

The girl folded her arms, with a playful look on her face, and actually used this as bait to negotiate the price. "What are the conditions?"

"It's nothing, actually. I just think you have a lot of tricks when you talk. Since I choose to trust you and want to help you now, you should give me some relative trust, right? So in the rest of our conversation, except for normal questions, you have to use declarative sentences and not end with rhetorical questions!"

Wen Liang sounded like he was pouring out his grievances, and spoke with gnashing teeth.

He Tianran said playfully: "But if that's the case... we'll probably be out of things to say soon, and it might be embarrassing if we run into some situations."

The girl waved her hand and said confidently: "Don't worry about it. This kind of thing will never happen to me."

The man tapped his fingers on the table a few times, pretending to think for a while, and finally answered:
"Okay, this is what you said, I promise you, so how are you going to help me?"

As soon as he said this, Wen Liang raised his hand and pointed at his nose as a warning. He Tianran realized his own question and raised his hands helplessly:
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. I just want us to get started quickly."

Seeing the man cooperate so well, Wen Liang rolled his eyes, put his hands down and placed them on the table, then he leaned forward and asked:

"You said you are the reborn He Tianran?"

"You can say that."

"Then what was our relationship before you were reborn?"

"Enemy relationship."

Wen Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Okay, okay, at least it's better than no relationship. If it's an enemy, then do you know your enemy?"

"Why should I understand my enemies?!"

"Um--?!"

A nasal warning made He Tianran helpless again, and he had to admit it reluctantly.

"Well, I guess... I understand."

"That's right. You don't understand me, so how can you take revenge on me? Right! Then let me test you. What do I like to do most?"

"Liar."

"..."

Such a straightforward answer made Wen Liang's throat smother and his face turned black.

"So what are my strengths?"

"The advantage is that he is a good actor, so he is very good at deceiving people."

As expected, honest statements do lead to some awkwardness, and at this moment someone's fist is starting to harden.

"What are the disadvantages?"

"The shortcoming is that I am not stupid, but I am too lazy to use my brain. I am unreasonable when I can take action. I am used to doing whatever I want. Over time, I have become a donkey that obeys the will of others. When I encounter disobedience or something that does not go my way, I cannot keep my composure, so it is easy for me to expose some character flaws."

Wen Liang gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Thank you so much for your evaluation!"

"No, it should be."

"You know my strengths and weaknesses so well, but what about my other hobbies? For example, what is my favorite movie?"

"do not know."

"Then what are my favorite songs and my favorite foods? You don't know that, do you?"

"I don't know... I think what you're asking has no necessary connection with helping me find my regrets."

Wen Liang said matter-of-factly, "Of course there is a connection! I'm such a beautiful woman, and I've known you for such a long time, but you don't have anything to talk about with me, and we can't even match the password. Don't you feel sorry?"

Okay, this is warm and cool.

She has indeed always been so confident. She continued to speak:

"Remember, my favorite movie is A Moment of Romance starring Andy Lau and Jacklyn Wu. At the end of the movie, Jacklyn Wu is wearing a wedding dress, Andy is wearing a white suit, and the two of them are riding a motorcycle on the viaduct in the city at night. It is the most romantic scene I have ever seen."

What does this have to do with me?
He Tianran thought about it in his heart, but because it was a rhetorical question, he held back the words. Seeing Wen Liang's face full of longing when he mentioned this, he changed his way of expression and complained:

"Yes, Andy was driving with a nosebleed, it was so romantic that he almost died, leaving Jacklyn Wu alone on the elevated road to look for her lover. This BE scene is really impressive."

Wen Liang's face suddenly fell, he rolled his eyes and said angrily:

"He Tianran, you are such a straight man! You were more romantic before you were reborn than you are now! Come with me!"

After saying that, she stood up, grabbed He Tianran's hand, and rushed out the door in a hurry.

"Where are you taking me? To eat Chongqing noodles?"

"Eat, eat, eat! Eat your big-headed ghost's noodles! It's inexplicable! Also, don't talk to me with rhetorical questions! You have violated the rules three times!" (End of this chapter)
