Chapter 2: Rebirth, Grasping One's Fate!

  A vast and endless darkness, not a glimmer of light to be found, Yun Shui's head was throbbing with pain, she was like a trapped beast trying to find a way out, but couldn't escape the darkness. She was desperate to let out a loud cry, just then, it seemed as though some sound drifted over from afar.

  It was a crisp and clear girl's voice, constantly calling out Yunshui's name, with a hint of worry and anxiety, which slightly calmed Yunshui's restless heart.

  "Yunshui, are you okay? Yunshui?"

  That voice was still shouting non-stop, and Yun Shui heard it and couldn't help but wonder who was calling her, and shaking her so hard that her head hurt.

  Yun Shui opened her eyes and first saw a girl's face, an oval-shaped face with shoulder-length short hair. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a youthful and alluring aura about her. Yun Shui stared at the girl, dazed for a moment, before suddenly remembering that she had jumped down from upstairs!

  That dull and deafening roar, as well as the indescribable agony, couldn't be wrong. It definitely wasn't a dream!

  So is she dreaming now? From such a high place, she fell down and didn't die but is still alive, now unconscious and dreaming?

  I dreamed of that already fleeting youth like flowing water, but isn't it said that at the moment of life and death, one sees all the important people in their life?

  Why wasn't it the two pairs of parents, nor her brother, nor her natural enemy Shen Zhenzhen, nor the young man standing under the Cinnamomum camphora tree holding a book quietly, but instead she dreamed of this face of a girl that she had gradually forgotten?

  The girl's name is a nice-sounding one, called Xiao Manli, and everyone likes to call her Manli.

  Jasmine is a relative on Cloud Water's birth parents' side, but due to various reasons, they drifted far apart, so the two ultimately only knew each other slightly better than strangers. When this girl finally passed away, Cloud Water had almost forgotten her, and now seeing this face again gives one a very dazed feeling.

  Does Yun Shui think he is going to die too? So the people in his dreams are all dead. Are they here to take him away together?

  Jasmine stared at Yunshui, who was staring blankly at her own face, and waved her hands in front of him, worriedly saying: "Yunshui, did you hit your head or something? I'll accompany you to the hospital to take a look!"

  Hit her head? Yun Shui thought that the face of Dreaming Jasmine was very clear, and the sound of her voice was also very clear, unlike her usual dreams, which always had a messy feeling. This dream really felt so real.

  No way, how could the back of her head hurt so much? How can a dream have a painful feeling?!

  A wave stirred up in her mind, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pinched the face of the girl in front of her. The skin was soft and warm to the touch, a very real feeling.

  Jasmine cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face. She hadn't expected Yunshui to suddenly grab her face with such force, as if trying to rip off a piece of flesh! She quickly used both hands to try and pry Yunshui's hands off her face.

  Yun Shui's hand was grasped by that pair of hands, feeling the real power and temperature, she was really shocked, thinking this wasn't a dream!

  At this time, a piece of golden yellow thing suddenly fell from the air and landed on Yunshui's face, with a faint scent of bitterness spreading to the tip of her nose.

  This is the fragrance of flowers!

  Yun Shui Song let go of Mo Li's hand, sat up suddenly, and felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, but she ignored it and looked at the scenery in front of her.

  Here is a lawn, the lawn is yellow and green, it's obvious that winter has just passed, and new grass has just grown out. There are still a few yellow wild chrysanthemums blooming in some places. There are many pine trees around, blocking the view, but you can still see the white buildings in the distance. On this lawn, there are also many peach blossoms planted, which are now blooming with strings of tender yellow flowers, swaying like stars in the wind, and suddenly a tender yellow one fell off.

  All of this is so clear, clear to the point where it's hard to believe that one is dreaming.

  Yun Shui's heart was first shocked, then dazed, and finally filled with more and more joy, until she was over the moon. She thought of a possibility, one that she had originally thought was impossible - she had been reborn!

  Yun Shui was also browsing the internet, at that time when the trend of rebirth and regeneration was popular, she who was extremely dissatisfied with her life, had hoped more than once to be reborn, thinking that if she were reborn, she would definitely change her life. She always thought it was just a beautiful dream. But now this beautiful dream seems to have come true, Yun Shui was overjoyed but then became uneasy, and started worrying that this was too realistic of a dream!

  "Yunshui, what's wrong with you? Why did you pinch me just now? Ah, your head seems to be bleeding, didn't you get into a fight? But it wasn't me who hit you, why did you hit me? Did you really hurt your brain? I'll take you to see a doctor! Right, we need to tell the teacher first and also call your family."

  Jasmine rubbed her still flushed face, originally still a bit resentful and angry, but as soon as she saw Yun Shui was injured, she immediately didn't mind anymore, thinking that he must have just woken up and was still dazed.

  Yun Shui listened to Jasmine's words, thinking that this was indeed a school, and she had really returned to her student days. She vaguely remembered that there was such an incident, where she had a dispute with someone in the corner of the school and was pushed down, hitting her head on a stone and passing out. At that time, it was also Jasmine who woke her up, but she felt embarrassed and hurt too much, so she drove Jasmine away.

  "Jasmine, thank you, no need to call the teacher or parents, I'll just go to the hospital and take a look myself."

  "Ah...... okay......"

  Jasmine blinked in surprise, and Yunshui had always been a spoiled girl in her eyes, like a little princess. She had never seen Yunshui be polite to anyone before, with basic phrases like "please", "thank you", and "sorry" never having been heard from Yunshui's mouth before - this was the conclusion drawn by their classmates after investigation. Now that she heard Yunshui say thank you to her, she felt a little honored.

  Yun Shui also noticed Jasmine's unhidden surprise, and she quickly understood what was going on. She sighed inwardly. At that time, she was still the high-and-mighty, spoiled Yun Shui who didn't know human emotions or worldly affairs, doing whatever she pleased - not the later Yun Shui who was disliked by everyone and finally began to hope to be liked and accepted, becoming gentle and courteous.

  Speaking of Yunshui's past life, let's just call it a past life for now. It was a large tea table with cups on it!

  Yun Shui was born into a happy family and grew up like a princess, but in her second year of high school, something happened that only occurs in TV dramas - she was discovered to not be the biological daughter of her parents, but rather someone else's child who had been switched at birth in the hospital! And just like that, her life fell from heaven to hell!

  Is she still going to fall into that hell-like fate in this life? Yun Shui clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth and vowed in her heart: Absolutely not!
