Past Life, Birthday

Chapter One

In the evening, two little men with schoolbags and red scarves were walking on the way home from school.

The little girl is about seven or eight years old, with croissant braids, carved and jade like a porcelain doll.

The boy should be half a head tall, and he is also very handsome, and walking with the little girl holding hands, they really is a pair of golden boy and girl.

"Brother Fei, did you prepare a birthday present for me today?"

The girl's voice was soft, tender and sweet.

The boy tilted his head and glanced at the girl, and the maturity and gentleness that did not match his age flashed in his dark, austere eyes.

"You guess?"

"I can't guess, just tell me, brother!"

The girl shook her hands together, acting softly.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "You'll know in a little while, if i say it now, there will be no surprises, anyway, you will definitely like it."

"Well then, if i don't like it, I'll be angry."

The girl puffed up her face and stared at him cutely.

"Very well."

Ye Fei smiled and looked at the red sun in the distance, filled with happiness and longing.

It has been a week since his rebirth. He has accepted this fact and thanked God for giving him such a chance.

The girl next to her is named Xia Yuchan, who is his childhood friend.

In his past life, Ye Fei has always treated her as a younger sister, and Xia Yuchan has been silently by his side during his short life of 27 years.

Ye Fei failed in the college entrance examination. It was Xia Yuchan who encouraged him to repeat his studies for another year, and accompanied him to study hard every day, and they were admitted to their ideal university together.

Xia Yuchan accompany him to buy drunk when he was disappointed in college. When he fell ill, Xia Yuchan also took good care of him.

After graduating, the job was not going well, and when the big city was in poverty, Xia Yuchan bought food for him every other day, and secretly asked the landlord to advance the rent for him.

Until the end, his relationship with his current girlfriend at that time, coupled with the pressure of work, caused him to have headache and encountered a car accident while walking on the road.

The kind passerby called the emergency call, then picked up his mobile phone, and called the people he often contacted during the recent call.

When his life was dying, Xia Yuchan's panic and helpless expression appeared in his sight, followed by her hysterical crying.

He wanted to reach out his hand to wipe her tears, but the rapid passing of life made him lose the strength to even raise his hand.

"Thank you… yes, sorry, take care of yourself…"

Ye Fei's lips moved slightly, leaving his last words silently.

"No—no, I don't want you to die…no, woo… I like you, brother Fei, I have always liked you, I want to marry you, stay together for life, life after life, don't leave me , Please, don't leave me alone…"

Xia Yuchan threw herself on him, crying, begging, and uttered the emotion she had been hiding in her heart.

In his mind, memories of more than 20 years with Xia Yuchan flashed past like scenes from movies.

Ye Fei realized that it turns out that the person who are truly worthy of his love and cherishness are close at hand.

At the last moment when his consciousness dissipated, he remembered a classic movie line.

There was once a sincere love before me. I didn't cherish it. If God could give me a chance to do it again, I would definitely…

Then, he was really born again, and he became a glorious elementary school student when he was ten years old.

...

Today is April 25, the tenth day of Ye Fei's rebirth and Xia Yuchan's eighth birthday.

Ye Fei's father, Ye Weiguo, and Xia Yuchan's father were classmates in primary school. The two went to elementary school, middle school and high school together, and they have been close friends for many years.

The two families live in the opposite door, and they are like a family on weekdays. This is also because Ye Fei used Xia Yuchan as his sister in his previous life and did not consider other reasons.

At this time, at Xia Yuchan's house, her mother, Chen Hong, was busy cooking a table of good dishes, and two middle-aged men were sitting in the living room playing chess and chatting.

Among them, Ye Fei's father, Ye Weiguo, has a rougher appearance. As for his mother, Ye Fei's only impression comes from the few photos he left, because his mother has not been there since his birth.

It is said that the root cause of his mother dying is when he was born.

Ye Weiguo joined the army after graduating from high school, and was transferred to the frontier to stay away for a long time. His strong charactered mother concealed his illness and carried him alone with her. Because of tiredness, she gradually broke down.

After Ye Fei's mother was hospitalized, Ye Weiguo learned of his wife's condition and took the initiative to leave the army despite his wife's dissuasion. He returned home to take care of her and Ye Fei. However, Ye Fei's mother was too weak and finally failed to step off the operating table.

After Ye Fei graduated from university in his past life, he learned about it from the drunk Ye Weiguo. Before that, Ye Weiguo had been telling his mother that his mother had passed away accidentally due to a heart attack.

Ye Weiguo always blamed himself for the death of his wife, and he never looked for it until Ye Fei died in a car accident.

Another middle aged man with glasses and a more refined appearance is Xia Yuchan's father Xia Wenhua. He was a rare college student in the 1980's and now works in the Municipal Education Bureau.

"Why haven't the two children come back, do you want to pick them up?"

Chen Hong brought a dish on the table and glanced at the open door with worried eyes.

"It's okay, isn't there Ye Feu, don't worry!"

Xia Wenhua smiled and relieved, obviously trusting Ye Fei.

"That's right, girl, don't worry, this kid in my family is not very old, but he is still very reliable, especially in the past few days, I feel that this kid has suddenly grown a lot!"

Ye Weiguo echoed with laughter.

"Of course I believe in Ye Fei, but I feel a little worried…"

"Mom, we are back."

Before Chen Hong finished speaking, her daughter's familiar voice came from outside the door, and when she looked in surprise, she saw two little people holding hands walking into the house.

"Auntie, uncle, dad."

Ye Fei called out politely.

"Eh, I'm back."

Chen Hong agreed with a smile, and quickly stepped forward to help the two children take down their schoolbags, and asked: "Why is it a little late to come back today? Is the school dragging down?"

Xia Yuchan dodged her eyes when she heard that, and subconsciously licked her lips, which was a little sweet.

"I ran into a candied haws seller on the road. I was greedy, so we bought and ate it. There were so many people that I have to lined up for a while."

Ye Fei answered with a smile.

Chen Hong glanced at her daughter's little red mouth, how could she not understand what was going on, and amusedly flicked her finger on her daughter's forehead.

"It's you, you little cat who wants to eat!"

"Um… Brother Fei said he was greedy."

Xia Yuchan covered her forehead with a pitiful expression.

"You, just protect her!"

Chen Hong glared at Ye Fei, smiled and waved: "Go, go, wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Xia Yuchan led Ye Fei and ran away in a hurry, and went to the back kitchen to wash her hands.

"These two kids, they really are."

Chen Hong shook his head dumbly.

"How wonderful, Xiao Chan can have such a brother who loves her."

Xia Wenhua smiled, moved the cart on the chessboard, looked at Ye Weiguo and said, "The general is now, you have lost again!"

"How many games have I won with you?"

Ye Weiguo spread his hands indifferently, saying that he was used to losing a long time ago.

"Stop playing, Wenhua, hurry up and get the cake out."

Chen Hong shouted to her husband.

"Okay, come on."

...

On the birthday cake, eight candles have been lit, and the two families are sitting around the dining table surrounded by the little birthday star Xia Yuchan, singing birthday songs.

Under the candlelight, Xia Yuchan's red face was full of joy, and her big bright eyes blinked at the birthday cake.

"Little Cicada, make a wish and blow out the candles!"

(PS: Little Cicada is Xia Yuchan's allias)

Xia Wenhua smiled and said to her daughter.

"Um!"

Xia Yuchan nodded vigorously, closed her hands and closed her eyes, and made her eight-year-old birthday wish, and then blew out the candles.

"Little Cicada, what wish did you make?"

Chen Hong smiled and asked.

"I won't talk about it, it won't work if I say it."

Xia Yuchan shook her head solemnly.

"Well, don't tell me, come, this is a gift from your mother."

Chen Hong took out a small gift box and handed it over.

"thanks Mom."

Xia Yuchan's sweet thanks, can't wait to take it apart, it is a very delicate and beautiful butterfly hairpin.

"Wow, so beautiful, mom, you are so kind, help me bring it!"

Chen Hong took it with a smile, and put it on her head.

"Dad, Brother Fei, do you look good?"

The little girl Xia Yuchan's temperament can't help but start to be stinky.

Xia Wenhua and Ye Fei nodded naturally, making Xia Yuchan smile all over her face.

Later, Xia Wenhua and Ye Weiguo each gave gifts. Xia Wenhua gave his daughter a golden piggy bank, and Ye Weiguo gave a harmonica. After inquiring about Chen Hong, he knew what Xia Yuchan wanted very much.

After receiving so many favorite birthday gifts, Xia Yuchan was so happy, and finally looked at Ye Fei with eyes that have countless little stars.

She is most looking forward to the surprise her brother said.

Ye Fei slipped off the chair, walked over and took out a large gift box from the coffee table, which he had just ran to the opposite house and hid it.

"What is it?"

Xia Yuchan's big eyes are already shining, she can't wait to know it.

"This is a pair of dancing shoes, for you."

Ye Fei handed the gift over.

The gift box was opened, and it was a pair of beautiful and lovely pink dance shoes.

"Wow, thank you brother, I like it so much."

Xia Yuchan used three good words in a row to express that she was really happy and excited.

"Xiao Fei, how did you know that Xia Yuchan was ready to learn to dance?"

Xia Wenhua asked in surprise.

The two of them also decided to send their daughter to learn to dance recently. Even the daughter hasn't told them yet, so they will talk about it after preparing for this birthday.

Ye Fei pretended not to know: "I don't know, but doesn't Xiao Chan like dancing very much? After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to give her this."

In fact, how could he not know about Xia Yuchan's biggest hobby. In his past life Xia Yuchan has been dancing since she was eight years old. She has learned ballet, classical dance, folk dance and so on.

In the various evening parties of the school, as long as she appears, she will be the brightest star in the audience..."
