To marry the poor boy Felix Thompson, I nearly cut ties with my parents. For ten years together, I worked tirelessly, quitting my job to stay home and care for his bedridden mother. He was touched, whispering sweet nothings in my ear and promising he would never betray me. We became the couple everyone envied. But then his first love came back. He abandoned me time and again for her. When she complained of discomfort, He even dragged me, pregnant, out of the car on the highway. “Wait here by the road, I’ll be back for you soon,” he said. With that, he started the car to leave. But in that moment, a vehicle came speeding towards me from behind. By the time I realized what was happening, I was already lying in a pool of blood… When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day Felix confessed his love to me. “Say yes, say yes!” “Wow, you have to accept!” The cheering crowd around us made me feel disoriented. The pain of my bones shattering under the car’s impact was still vivid in my mind. Felix stood before me, still with a touch of youthful innocence. He held out roses, looking at me tenderly, his ears red as blood. “Be with me, Olivia.” He offered the roses to me. But I remained motionless, my body stiff as a board. Had I been reborn? Seeing no reaction from me, Felix smiled. He assumed I was just shy. He raised his voice and asked again solemnly, “Olivia Carter, will you be my girlfriend?” Just then, a cold breeze blew past. It cleared my muddled thoughts somewhat. I looked past the crowd to see Rachel Frost, smiling smugly in the background. Only now, in this second life, did I realize Rachel had been there the day Felix confessed to me. I remembered how many times later, when I met Rachel, She would look at me with a mixture of pity and superiority. She said, “The only reason Felix confessed to you was because of me.” Later I found out it was because Rachel liked Samuel Morrison, so she pushed Felix to be with me. The goal was to cut off any hopes Samuel had for me. It wasn’t until after my death, when my soul lingered in this world, that I learned Samuel had always harbored feelings for me. He took care of my funeral, looked after my parents, and even sought revenge against Felix and Rachel… I looked at Felix, his eyes full of tender affection. He really seemed to love me deeply. Only after dying once did I realize it was all an act. How could someone fake love so convincingly? To everyone’s shock, I forcefully knocked away Felix’s roses. I enunciated each word clearly: “I don’t accept. I don’t like you, Felix Thompson.” With those words, the entire crowd fell silent. The smile on Felix’s face became strained. “You’re… joking, right?” Rachel could no longer control herself and rushed out from the crowd, pointing at me, “Stop playing hard to get. Everyone knows you like Felix!” I looked at her coldly. In my past life, Rachel and I didn’t know each other at this point. I had only heard about this first love a few times from Felix. I replied sarcastically, “Do I know you?” Rachel was stunned. I shouldn’t have known her, yet she seemed to know all about my situation. Because of Samuel, she had been stalking me on various social media platforms. I didn’t notice Felix giving Rachel an odd look. Rachel jutted out her chin, “I’m Felix’s good friend. I’ve been helping him pursue you, so of course I know you.” “Is that so? But isn’t he in love with you?” With those words, the crowd fell silent again. Felix anxiously spoke up, “No, that’s not true. I don’t like her, I like you.” Rachel pretended to be hurt, rubbing her eyes. “How can you spread such rumors? Felix and I are just good friends, nothing more.” Her affected manner made me sick. I grabbed Rachel’s left hand without warning. There was a ring-shaped tattoo on her ring finger. “Just friends? Then why do you both have matching ring tattoos?” The onlookers instinctively looked at Felix’s hand. Sure enough, he had the same ring-shaped tattoo on his ring finger. In my past life, before Rachel returned to the country, Felix’s explanation was that he simply thought the tattoo looked cool. Later when I discovered Rachel had the same one, I had a huge fight with him.
To appease me, he went to have the tattoo removed. He hugged me and said Rachel was just a first love from when he was young and foolish. He insisted I was the only one in his heart now, and Rachel was in the past. I believed him then, which led to my tragic end later. In this new life, I wouldn’t be so foolish again. Felix could no longer maintain his calm facade. He hurriedly tried to cover the tattoo, explaining to me, “No, it’s not what you think. I was young and stupid then. If it bothers you, I can have it removed…” He rubbed at the tattoo with his other hand until the skin broke and bled. “It’ll be gone soon, I promise…” I found his act pathetic. Felix’s acting skills had really improved. If I hadn’t died once before, I truly would have believed he loved me. I didn’t bother arguing further and turned to leave. But as I turned, I saw Samuel Morrison standing in the distance. His hands were in his pockets, his expression cold. He still had that rebellious look, like he didn’t care about anything in the world. Yet it was this same man who, upon hearing of my death, aged overnight. My eyes instantly welled up with tears. I ran towards him. “Sam, I’ve missed you so much.” Samuel was a bit taken aback, but still opened his arms to catch me. I buried myself in his embrace, greedily listening to his increasingly rapid heartbeat. At that moment, the world seemed to stand still. There was only Samuel and me. I didn’t hear Felix’s anguished cries, or Rachel’s jealous and resentful wails. Samuel drove me home. My parents had already prepared dinner and were waiting for me. Seeing my parents, my eyes immediately turned red. If there was anyone I truly owed an apology to in my past life, it was my parents. Seeing me cry, my parents became anxious. Mom hugged me, asking worriedly, “What’s wrong, sweetie? Did someone bully you?” Dad sat nearby, drumming his fingers on the table. I couldn’t speak through my tears. Samuel explained for me. He recounted how Felix had confessed to me today. My dad slammed the table and stood up. “I knew that boy was no good. Too scheming, not a suitable match at all.” Mom gently stroked my head, comforting me softly: “Olivia dear, don’t be sad. He’s not worth your tears.” I nodded, hugging Mom tightly. At that moment, the reality of my rebirth hit me like a tidal wave. With my parents and Samuel comforting me, my emotions gradually calmed. We all sat down at the dinner table to eat. This warm family scene made me think of the times I had cut ties with my parents in my past life. Guilt washed over me again. “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. I was so foolish… I won’t do it again…” My parents didn’t understand what had happened, but they just kept comforting me. Before bed, I received a message from Felix. “Olivia, I’ve had the tattoo removed. Are you still angry?” Looking at the message, I suddenly remembered that at this point in my past life, Felix and I were already together. Meanwhile, Samuel had gone abroad, and Rachel had followed him. But this time, I hadn’t gotten together with Felix, and neither Samuel nor Rachel had left the country. After calming down completely, I began to review everything that had happened today. Felix’s behavior was very strange. The way he looked at me held an inexplicable possessiveness, and a hint of hidden madness. In that instant, my heart skipped a beat. He had come back too. My hands shook as I blocked and deleted Felix’s contact information. The shadow of death loomed over me at that moment. In my panic, I received a call from Samuel. I answered it urgently, as if grasping at a lifeline. “Sam…” “What’s wrong? Did Felix scare you today?” “I… yes…” “Don’t be afraid. As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you.” Samuel’s voice seemed to have a magical effect, gradually calming my heart. I fell asleep to Samuel’s gentle words. After I blocked and deleted him, Felix quieted down for a while. I didn’t see him for several days. Just as I was breathing a sigh of relief, an unexpected incident occurred. That day, I went to the hospital to buy some cold medicine. By chance, I ran into Felix’s mother who was there for a follow-up appointment. She had always been in poor health. In my past life, even with my careful care, her condition worsened year by year until she was bedridden within a few years. At this point in time, Felix’s mother could still walk, albeit with difficulty. I instinctively took a step back, hiding around the corner. Felix had just arrived at his mother’s side with a stack of test reports. I heard his mother sigh. “Ah, if I have to be hospitalized, it’ll be troublesome for you to come take care of me. What about your work? I don’t want to affect your career.” “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll have Olivia quit her job to take care of you.” “Would she be willing? I heard her family is well-off. She’s delicate, how could she take care of someone?” “Of course she would. She’s very domestic and caring.” Felix’s voice was full of certainty. I felt as if I’d been plunged into an ice bath. No wonder he kept pursuing me even though he didn’t like me. He just wanted me to take care of his mother for him. His mother’s voice continued, “But… don’t you like that Rachel girl?” I froze in place. I suddenly remembered Felix’s mother tightly grasping my hand on her deathbed, saying “I’m sorry.” My eyes suddenly welled up with tears. So Felix’s mother had known all along that I wasn’t the one her son truly loved, yet she had accepted my care without qualms. I thought Felix would immediately agree with his mother’s words. To my surprise, he quickly retorted, “Mom, please don’t say things like that anymore. I don’t want Olivia to misunderstand.” “My wife can only be her, in this life and the next. She belongs only to me.” I leaned against the wall, my fists clenched tightly. His mother still seemed a bit worried. “But what if she finds out the truth…” “Even if she knows, she won’t leave me. She loves me more than life itself.” Saying this, Felix fell silent. His mind was in turmoil. After a long while, he spoke again, “Don’t worry, she’s just playing hard to get. I’ll coax her back soon.” I couldn’t listen anymore and walked out. Seeing me, they both looked surprised. Felix’s mother hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at me. After his initial shock, Felix’s face lit up with undisguised joy. “You came! I knew you couldn’t stay away from me.” “I’ll be magnanimous and overlook your mistake from the other day.” I didn’t speak, just stared at him steadily. Felix began to feel uneasy under my gaze. But he didn’t want to back down. He had been mocked quite a bit lately for being rejected by me. So out of stubbornness, he deliberately hadn’t come looking for me for several days. I suddenly laughed, “Mistake? What mistake did I make, Felix Thompson?” “You deliberately hugged Samuel that day to provoke me, and you… you even blocked me.” I tilted my head, stepped forward and slapped him hard across the face. Felix’s mother, who had been pretending to be oblivious, immediately jumped up and bared her teeth at me. “What are you doing!” I shrugged, “Can’t you see? I’m slapping him.” With that, I turned and walked away coolly. It wasn’t until I had completely disappeared that Felix realized he had been slapped. 4 As I reached the hospital entrance, I ran into Rachel. I wanted to just walk past her and leave, but she grabbed my wrist. She was the epitome of the “innocent vixen” – pure-looking face but voluptuous figure, the type of girl often described online as having both innocence and sex appeal. She looked me up and down, then sneered. “You really are shameless, aren’t you? You made a big show of rejecting Felix before, and now you’re here at the hospital to see that old lady?” “What I do is none of your business.” I forcefully shook off her hand and was about to leave. But she stumbled dramatically, hitting the handrail of the stairs. This scene was all too familiar. I had experienced it in my past life too. Back then, I had been at a loss for words, only knowing how to defend myself. Of course Felix didn’t believe me. He just looked at me coldly, then gave me the silent treatment for a week. By that time, I had almost given up on our relationship. But he took the initiative to apologize, saying he shouldn’t have doubted me, and begged for my forgiveness. It wasn’t until this moment, looking at the past from a god’s-eye view, That I realized Felix’s behavior towards me was nothing more than giving me a slap followed by a sweet treat. Sure enough, Felix appeared. His face still bore the clear imprint of my hand. Rachel lay on the ground, crying silently, the perfect picture of a pitiful victim. Just as I thought Felix was going to berate me, he walked straight to my side. “Are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you?” These words stunned even Rachel. For a moment, her coquettish, vulnerable facade twisted into an ugly grimace. She said in disbelief, “Felix, I’m the one who’s hurt. Can’t you see?” Felix seemed not to hear her, only looking at me with concern and a complex expression. I had no idea what game he was playing, so I just rolled my eyes and left. But Felix followed closely behind me. Rachel was still shouting in the background, but neither of us paid her any attention. At the intersection, Felix finally couldn’t hold back and grabbed my hand. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at me cautiously, “You heard what I said to my mom earlier, didn’t you? Don’t misunderstand, it was all just talk.” I didn’t answer this question. Instead, I leaned close to his ear and whispered, “You came back too, didn’t you? Don’t play dumb.” I felt his grip on my hand suddenly tighten. The streetlight above cast a flickering shadow on his face, splitting it into light and dark halves. The left side showed his cold cruelty towards me after meeting his first love again, while the right side reflected his anguish after my death. In my past life, as a disembodied spirit, I had seen him suffer immense pain upon learning of my death. But was this pain due to losing a free caretaker, or because things had spiraled out of his control? “So you… came back too.” Felix’s voice trembled. His eyes were full of painful struggle. “I knew you had come back from the moment you rejected me.” “But I didn’t dare believe it, didn’t dare think about it. I was afraid you would hate me…” “Felix Thompson, let’s end it here.” I forcefully pried his hand off me, stepping back to create some distance. Then, I secretly took out the pepper spray Samuel had given me this morning. I sprayed it directly in Felix’s face. As he cried out in pain, I turned and ran. The next day, I posted a photo on social media of Samuel and me holding hands. With the caption: “Found my soulmate, wishing to grow old together with you.” 5 My social media exploded instantly. Friends flooded the comments section: “Wonderful, a perfect match made in heaven.” “I’ve been shipping you two for ages, finally you’re together!”
