Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

Shi Xi still had a smiling look on his face. He looked at Liu Wangxue's changing expressions and knew what she was thinking without having to guess.

Liu Wangxue didn't know whether he should suppress his eagerness to explore. After a little hesitation, he asked, "How did you know?"

Shi Xi did not answer her, but said: "In fact, what you think of as rebirth should not be called 'rebirth', but the adjustment of the wheel of fate."

Liu Wangxue blinked, not understanding the words for a moment: "What do you mean? What wheel of fortune?"

Shi Xi did not explain. If he had not been looking at Liu Wangxue, Liu Wangxue would have thought he was talking to himself. He said, "The wheel of fate in this world has been manipulated by an external force, and the fate of many people has changed because of it. The relationship problems between you and Brother Qingsong, the setbacks at work, and all the misfortunes in your life are all due to this. You should have been smooth sailing."

He sneered at this point, as if he remembered someone he hated: "Fortunately, an old monk arrived in time and adjusted the roulette wheel before it fell apart. However, the old monk had been injured before, and was interfered with by thieves when he was casting the spell. Although the roulette wheel was adjusted, the time reversal went wrong and it failed to return to the starting point."

Liu Wangxue subconsciously asked: "Original point?"

"It refers to the moment before the Wheel of Fortune was invaded by external forces." Shi Xi explained, and then said, "So, the time of your rebirth was deviated. If time could go back to the starting point, you should be reborn on the day when the first semester of high school ended."

After hearing this, Liu Wangxue had only one feeling: What a blessing! Fortunately, she was not reborn back to high school. With her bad attitude when she was just reborn, she absolutely did not believe that she could grit her teeth and persevere for three years, let alone be admitted to Ocean University in the end!

She thought so and told Shi Xi. Shi Xi listened with a smile, but did not comment on it. Instead, she asked her, "You didn't fill in Haishi University as your first choice in the college entrance examination, right?"

Liu Wangxue was about to be surprised that he even knew this, but then she changed her mind and thought that since he already knew about things like rebirth, it didn't seem surprising that he also knew this, so she replied, "No, my first choice back then was Peking University."

The Department of Literature at Jingshi University is the top 1 in the field of screenwriting in China. Liu Wangxue set this goal in the second semester of his senior year, and spent the rest of his time studying hard just to get in.

Shi Xi said: "If the wheel of fate runs according to the normal trajectory, during the summer vacation of your first year in high school, you will meet Brother Qingsong in the film and television city you passed by while traveling, and you will successfully enter Jingshi University, and then you and Brother Qingsong..."

"Wait, wait a minute," Liu Wangxue interrupted him and asked, "What do you mean I will meet Xu Qingsong in that film and television city?"

During the summer vacation of her first year in high school, Liu Wangxue's parents took her on a trip. They heard that there was a film and television city in the local area, so the family of three went to visit it. Then they met a young screenwriter, and Liu Nanshan sat and chatted with him for a long time. The young screenwriter talked about many interesting things in the industry, and Liu Wangxue listened with great interest. As a result, she became interested in the screenwriting industry. After returning home and checking the information, she decided to study playwriting in the future, and thus set the goal of taking the college entrance examination.

Liu Wangxue then asked, "You saw him, so Xu Qingsong was there too?" He thought, what year was Xu Qingsong in when he was in the first year of high school? Yes, sophomore.

"He's not here," Shi Xi shook her head. "I mean, if the wheel of fate runs according to the normal trajectory, Brother Qingsong will also travel there that summer, and you will meet each other."

After Shi Xi finished speaking, he gave her some time to digest it, and then he went on to say, "You will meet each other, leave your contact information at that time, and become friends. You will successfully enter Beijing University and become alumni with Brother Qingsong. You will naturally fall in love and be together. When you graduate from university, you will start a family, live a happy life, work smoothly and worry-free, and you will always love each other and accompany each other until old age."

Liu Wangxue thought of Xu Qingsong's ex and calculated in her mind that when she graduated from college, Xu Qingsong was already working. It was his first year after graduating from graduate school: "He had just gone to work in Hai City at that time. Could it be that - No, he was focusing on his career at that time and had no idea of ​​getting married."

"Don't ignore the premise I mentioned." Shi Xi said with a smile.

After he gave her some pointers, Liu Wangxue understood and smiled apologetically, "I didn't understand it all at once."

"Putting aside this premise," Shi Xi continued, "Do you know why Brother Qingsong insisted on going to Hai City to work?"

Liu Wangxue nodded: "He told me that Luminance Technology was one of the best game companies in China at that time. As for work, if you have the ability, you must join a good company."

Shi Xi shook her head: "All choices are determined by fate. He doesn't want to get married because he met the wrong person. He wants to go to Hai City because you are there."

Liu Wangxue had a "are you kidding me" expression on her face: "How is that possible? He and I didn't know each other at that time and had never met before. Besides, he had a girlfriend at that time."

Shi Xi looked into her eyes and said, "Because you are destined to be together. Even though the trajectory of the wheel of fate is messed up, the thread between you that is pulled by fate has not broken. It is trying to correct it. So just like you chose to stay in Haishi after graduation, all your choices are the result of it trying to correct it, so that you can meet."

Liu Wangxue murmured: "But we didn't meet."

"Because it wasn't strong enough, and it broke later." Shi Xi closed his eyes in pain. "Once the trajectory is disrupted, other destiny traction lines will take over. Different forces will compete with each other, and both will suffer in the end."

Liu Wangxue's heart trembled inexplicably.

"In fact, you have passed each other countless times." Shi Xi said, he turned the cat's eye ring on his hand. The emerald green cat's eye looked like a real cat's eye, it came alive and blinked, very playful.

It was at this moment that Liu Wangxue noticed the ring on his hand, as if it appeared out of thin air. But the next moment she had no time to worry or look closely, because the ring projected an image above the coffee table, as if it was a miniature projector.

Liu Wangxue was so shocked that she leaned back and raised her eyes. She found that the scene in front of her was her and Xu Qingsong.

The night we went to Xu Qingsong's grandpa's house for dinner, Liu Wangxue said that she and Wenxi had visited that neighborhood during the National Day holiday of her sophomore year. Xu Qingsong said that he had spent that National Day holiday at his grandpa's house, and asked if they had met at that time. At the time, they both denied it, and they both felt that if they had met, they would not have no impression of each other.

But in the scene before her eyes, Liu Wangxue and Wenxi accepted the dates from Grandpa Sun, thanked him and continued to walk inside, and then passed by Xu Qingsong who was returning. The scene changed to a pedestrian street not far from Grandpa's house. There were several scenes where she and Xu Qingsong walked towards each other and passed each other. In two scenes, she and Xu Qingsong even stopped in front of the same stall to look at the small things sold by the stall owner.

Then the scene turns to a mirage, with lights and shadows flickering. Just as Shi Xi said, we met countless times but didn't recognize each other...

As Liu Wangxue watched, her heart ached, and she couldn't help but cry, "How could this be? He and I... How could I have no memory of this?"

Shi Xi stroked the ring with his finger, and the emerald cat's eyes blinked again, and the picture above the coffee table disappeared. He took out a tissue and handed it to Liu Wangxue, sighing softly: "The invading power manipulates the wheel of fate, and its purpose is to plunder..." He paused here and said: "You can understand that the power is preventing you from meeting each other. Even if you meet, you will not leave any impression on each other."

Watching Liu Wangxue wipe away her tears, Shi Xi continued, "In fact, the fateful traction between you two has been successful. It should be said that it was almost successful."

Liu Wangxue immediately looked up and looked at him with tearful eyes.

Shi Xi said: "Last November, he started watching your live broadcast. This was the last ditch effort of the fateful traction line between the two of you. It made Brother Qingsong notice you, and then cut off the latecomer between you and Mu Jingsheng."

He pushed the entire tissue box toward Liu Wangxue and continued, "However, in - let's call it your previous life, in the timeline of your previous life, it strangled the ones who came after it, but it itself broke due to exhaustion of power. Without the traction line of fate, your destiny was shattered, so you encountered many misfortunes afterwards."

Liu Wangxue felt a pain in her heart again, and tears fell down. All the pain brought by the cyberbullying flashed through her mind again. It would be a lie to say that she didn't hate him. She felt that the lives of herself, her family, and her friends were all played around by this so-called "external force." Liu Wangxue asked Shi Xi: "Why are you telling me this?"

Originally, when she was reborn, her parents were alive and well, her friends were not injured, and she successfully avoided those experiences and had a new life, so she was relieved.

But now, what did Shi Xi want her to do by telling her all this? To let her experience what it means to be "powerless" again?

Shi Xi said: "Please forgive me. I am not telling you this to ask you to seek revenge. You are just a mortal and you have no way to fight against it."

Liu Wangxue was stunned and said in shock: "Didn't you say that the wheel of fortune has been adjusted? Could it be that the power has not disappeared yet?" Will she and the people around her be affected in the future?
Shi Xi smiled, as if everything was under control: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal anymore. Besides, it's not your responsibility. I have an appointment with the old monk, I will clean it up slowly."

Liu Wangxue felt relieved a little.

Shi Xi seemed to be waiting for her to calm down, so he didn't say anything else. The room fell into silence for a while.

Liu Wangxue was indeed trying to calm down and digest all this information. The events before and after her rebirth flashed before her eyes like a slideshow.

Suddenly, she realized that her previous life was not over. If she followed that timeline, she didn't know what would happen after she rolled down the hill. Oh, and there was Xu Qingsong. What was his fate in a place she couldn't see?

Liu Wangxue asked Shi Xi this question, and Shi Xi said: "The future of the past never happened. As for Brother Qingsong, you still don't want to know. In this life, just love him well."

Liu Wangxue wanted to ask more, but Shi Xi said, "Actually, I didn't plan to tell you this. I wanted to tell Brother Qingsong. But when I woke up, I was very weak and couldn't see anything. I wasn't sure if he had any memories of that timeline. I just fully recovered a few days ago. I came to see you and Brother Qingsong today because I wanted to tell him this. But the first time I saw you two, I realized that he had no memories of that timeline, but you did. After some hesitation, I decided to come to you."

Liu Wangxue then thought of something and asked Shi Xi, "Since the wheel of fate has been adjusted, then everyone in this so-called "world" should have experienced a rebirth, right?"

Shi Xi nodded, and before Liu Wangxue could ask another question, he answered another question in her mind. He said, "It's just that not many people are reborn with their memories. This is a gift from fate, but whether you can accept it or not is hard to say. So I have to come to you and tell you the whole story."

Holding the tissue wet with tears in her hand, Liu Wangxue instantly became nervous: "You mean, rebirth with memories is not a good thing? Then where will this bad thing happen? To my family or friends?" She thought of Xu Qingsong and took a deep breath: "Or will it happen between Qingsong and me?"

Shi Xi remained calm: "Don't worry, nothing will happen with me here. I tell you this just in case. Remember, if you encounter something that cannot be explained by science in the future, be sure to contact me as soon as possible."

Liu Wangxue nodded seriously.

Shi Xi smiled and reminded her: "But you don't have to have too heavy a psychological burden, don't be too nervous."

Liu Wangxue finally burst into laughter, thinking that Shi Xi was probably afraid that he would be too nervous and disturb him frequently. She also relaxed and joked, "Actually, I'm generally quite open-minded. I definitely don't have the extreme idea that 'there are always villains trying to harm me'."

Shi Xi also laughed out loud. The hand wearing the ring reached into the lapel of his windbreaker, as if casually touching the waist of his suit, and took out a small wooden box. After opening it, he placed it in front of Liu Wangxue. The wood and glass made a light "click" sound when they collided.

Liu Wangxue's eyes were not attracted by the things in the box, but followed the cat's eye on the ring involuntarily. She felt that it was not an illusion just now, and this emerald green cat's eye really looked like a real cat's eye.

Shi Xi noticed it and protected it in a stingy way: "I can't give this to you, even if you like it."

Liu Wangxue smiled, thinking that he looked really childish, which didn’t match his temperament, but inexplicably very lively: “No, I have a cat, and I just think that your gem is very similar to my cat’s eyes.”

"That's really fate. I'll go take a look at it if I have time." Shi Xi said, and then motioned her to look at the small box on the coffee table. "I made it myself. It's a birthday gift for Brother Qingsong, and also for you."

There was a pair of hand ropes in the box. Liu Wangxue took them in her hands and looked at them. They were made of cowhide ropes and strung with an irregularly shaped red stone. It should be a gemstone, with a cold and beautiful luster. However, she had never touched it and did not understand it. Next to the ruby ​​was a small cluster of ginkgo leaves, which were made of gold and jade.

Liu Wangxue instantly understood the blessing from Shi Xi, and was indescribably moved: "A perfect match made in heaven, apricots come in pairs?"

"Xing" is homophonic to "Xing", which means happiness and luck.

Shi Xi clapped his hands, with approval in his eyes: "This is a good name, why didn't I think of it!"

Liu Wangxue: “…”

She put the bracelet back with a smile. Okay, she was being too sentimental, but she was also sincerely grateful to Shi Xi and thanked him.

Shi Xi seemed to have seen through her thoughts and explained, "I didn't think too much when I did it. You and Brother Qingsong must wear this to keep you safe. In addition--"

He seemed to be choosing his words. Liu Wangxue waited for a while, and seeing that he still had no intention of speaking, she asked, "What else?"

Shi Xi simply stopped thinking and said directly: "You had surgery before, which will have a certain impact on your body. There are also some other factors. In short, you and Brother Qingsong should wear this thing for at least a year. Don't take it off during this period. You will definitely have a healthy and smart baby in the future."

Liu Wangxue had only known Shi Xi for half a day, and they were already talking about this topic. She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but she still listened to what Shi Xi said. She didn't know what else to say to him except thank you.

Shi Xi still looked calm: "I once agreed with Brother Qingsong that his future child would recognize me as his godfather, so this is also a gift from me to the future baby." He stood up after he finished speaking: "Sister-in-law, please stay, I'll go back."

Liu Wangxue stood up and saw him out.

Shi Xi suddenly turned around at the door, made a "hush" gesture to her, and said, "Sister-in-law, what I just told you is a secret."

Liu Wangxue smiled and made an "OK" gesture to him.

After seeing Shi Xi off, Liu Wangxue came back and sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, then picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully. As she looked, she found that there seemed to be a galaxy flowing in the ruby. She thought she was dazzled, so she blinked and looked again, and the galaxy disappeared again.

"I'm really dazzled." Liu Wangxue said to himself and put the bracelet back. His mood suddenly became cheerful and he was completely back to the state he was in before Shi Xi came.

She looked up at the wall clock and saw that more than 40 minutes had passed. She remembered that her cell phone was still in the pocket of her down jacket, so she stood up and walked to the coat rack to send a message to Xu Qingsong to ask why he hadn't come back yet. (End of this chapter)
