When Lin Min opened her eyes, she found herself tied to a shabby wooden house.
His hands and feet were tied up.
She could smell the strong smell of gasoline.
Her Senior Brother, He Qi, was standing in front of her.
He stared at her with a gloomy look.
Lin Min moved her hands and feet and opened her eyes wide in horror. "Senior brother, where am I? Who kidnapped me?"
The man didn't seem to expect her to wake up so early.
Under his gold-rimmed glasses, a trace of nervousness suddenly flashed across his eyes.
He didn't say anything.
Lin Min struggled with her hands and feet tied up and shouted anxiously, "He Qi, answer me. What's going on?"
She remembered that it was He Qi who had said that he would take him to treat a big shot. She followed him to the car without any doubt.
How could this be?
He Qi looked terrible. He took a step forward and said in a cold voice, "Lin Min, don't blame me. You blocked the quiet road and made her lose everything she has. I can only kill you." The man with a gloomy look looked at the woman sitting on the ground and said in a cold tone.
Lin Min's head shook. "Get... get rid of me?"
It was only then that Lin Min realized that her senior brother had tricked her out on the grounds of going out to see a doctor. He was actually trying to kill her.
He wanted to kill her for that vicious woman?
She couldn't accept that her Senior Brother, He Qi, could do such a cruel thing to her.
They had been fellow disciples for more than ten years.
He Qi was mesmerized by that woman and lost his mind!
Her face was full of horror. "Senior brother, you want to kill me for Tang Jingrong? Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven if you do this? Everything she has belongs to me. She approached you to use you to watch me. You were cheated by her. Do you know that?"
"So what? She said that as long as I kill you, she will be with me."
He Qi's face had an almost abnormal smirk.
"No, no!" Lin Min hysterically struggled to free herself. "He Qi, you can't do this. You devil, I have no grudge against you. Let me go!"
"No enmity?" He Qi sneered. "Lin Min, you're not in the wrong. The wrong thing is that you appeared in our lives. If it weren't for you, everything would have been hers forever, and everything about me would have been mine. Do you understand?"
What do you mean by 'my'? Lin Min's mind was filled with the idea of survival. She didn't understand what He Qi meant at all.
She just begged instinctively, struggled, and wanted to escape from here.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
A small flame rose from the lighter in He Qi's hand.
Then, he casually threw it away...
...
At the moment when she was swallowed by the raging fire, she seemed to hear Gu Jingchuan's voice.
He was roaring, "Lin Min, I'm coming to save you..."
...
When Lin Min regained consciousness again, she had a severe headache. She slowly opened her eyes, lifted her heavy eyelids, and then saw the quilt on the back of the big red peony. She blinked, and then saw a simple wooden wardrobe at the top of the brick bed with the word "Red" pasted on it.
"The character 'Xi'?"
"Is this the wedding room?"
She looked at the dark beam on the roof in confusion.
He looked dull.
"She didn't die?"
Did the fire not burn her to death?
How could it be possible!
"Back to the present?"
She turned her head mechanically. Then, a handsome and sickly face caught her by surprise.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Lin Min sat up on the heated brick bed in shock. Her eyes were as wide as copper bells as she looked at him in disbelief.
"Gu Jingchuan?"
How could this be?
How could she sleep with Gu Jingchuan on the same brick bed, or in the wedding room?
She had gotten married to Gu Jingchuan for a short period of time, but that was more than a decade ago.
"Did I dream of marrying Gu Jingchuan again?"
Because of this knowledge, Lin Min pinched her face hard and felt a real pain.
He reminded her that this was not a dream!
She looked around the so-called wedding room. The scene in front of her was exactly the same as the scene in the depths of her memory.
She looked at the man sleeping on the other side of the brick bed in a daze with a mysterious look.
He slept very well and breathed evenly. There was no sign of waking up at all.
He carefully raised his hand and touched his face.
It was gentle.
She looked around the hut and the man on the brick bed again.
Then, he pinched the back of his hand hard.
It was not a dream. Everything was real.
Had she been reborn?
When this thought came to her mind, Lin Min looked around the room anxiously, trying to prove that what she knew was right.
A few seconds later, her eyes fell on the hand-cutting calendar hanging on the wall. On the top page of the calendar, it was written the 6th of August 92nd.
August 6, mystic, the day of her and Gu Jingchuan's wedding.
Lin Min was so agitated that she felt a slight pain on her forehead.
She reached out her hand and touched it, and felt something like gauze on her forehead.
She looked out of the window at the rising red sun.
She had an answer in her heart. Was she reborn on the second day of her marriage with Gu Jingchuan in the second year?
Back then, her parents forced her to marry a half-naked man like Gu Jingchuan for her sister, Lin Jiao. On her wedding night, she hit the wall in despair and broke her forehead.
Gu Jingchuan was also opposed to this marriage. He made a scene at home and was fed sleeping pills by his family.
Lin Min looked at the man's sickly face on the brick bed, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She carefully reached out her hand and touched his cheek again. The real touch of his skin made her heart really complicated.
At this moment, she heard the sound of the door being unlocked.
Then, the wooden door was slowly pushed open from the outside.
Then, the middle-aged woman poked half of her head in.
"Lin Min, can you stop fooling around? I beg you, Jingchuan will definitely be cured in the future. The doctor said that his injury is only temporary, and our family is also giving him active treatment..."
The plainly dressed woman hid at the door and pleaded with him in a pleading tone.
Lin Min looked at the familiar yet strange face in her memory and her expression relaxed.
Gu Jingchuan's mother!
A woman who only had a two-day relationship with her.
Seeing that Lin Min was staring at her in a daze and did not speak, Wang Guifang carefully walked over and said in a flattering tone, "Xiaomin, breakfast is ready. I'll bring it over for you, okay? And your forehead, I'll ask Jing Ming to buy some wounded medicine on the street and wipe it for you. Don't make trouble anymore, okay?"
Lin Min didn't answer her mother-in-law's question. She raised her hand, pointed at the man sleeping next to her, and asked Wang Guixiang, "He... what's going on? Why isn't he awake yet?"
It had been at least half an hour since she woke up. Outside the window, birds were chirping. The sky was already bright, but he was sleeping soundly and showed no signs of sleeping.
Was he really fed sleeping pills as he was in his previous life?
Wang Guifang didn't expect that Lin Min would take the initiative to ask about her son. First, there was a look of surprise on her face. Then, her eyes flickered and she hurriedly replied, "Oh, Jing Chuan, he will wake up soon."
