Xu Jinzhi was genuinely frightened, her mind still replaying the scene of the last time she had seen Xie Yanchuan in her previous life. Even as she listened to Xie Yanchuan's solemn promises, she still clung to him, unwilling to let go.
Some truths that she had long refused to face were now magnifying overwhelmingly.
After Xie Yanchuan's death in her previous life, she had comforted herself with the thought that it was no big deal, that her life was the same without Xie Yanchuan, unchanged.
She had still led a good life, one that many envied.
Even until her own death, when she thought of Xie Yanchuan, Xu Jinzhi still felt that she had not loved Xie Yanchuan all that much, that it was merely because he was such a good man that made him hard to forget.
Having been reborn, she chose to be with Xie Yanchuan again for many reasons.
