After Being Reborn, I Must Confess My Love!

On the day of his twenty-eighth birthday, Song Ning carefully wrote down his wish list for being reborn.

If he could live his life over again, he hoped to:

1. Stop living for other people. Study hard and take the college entrance exam.

2. If possible, get into the same university as Lu Nanxi. If he couldn't manage that... then at least go to the same city!

3. After graduation, stop thinking about making money all day. If life is meant to be enjoyed, then enjoy it, or what was the point of coming into this world?

4. Take better care of himself. Stop rushing around all day and looking so disheveled. Nobody likes that.

5. Eat three proper meals, sleep well, and get regular checkups. Checkups are really important.

6...

Song Ning spent an entire afternoon writing down eighteen wishes.

When he got to "19," he paused, set down his pen, and gazed out at the autumn scenery beyond the hospital window, lost in thought.

If possible, he hoped that in his next life, at the very least, he would find the courage to say one thing to Lu Nanxi.

I've had a crush on you for a very, very long time.

One day, seventeen-year-old Lu Nanxi began having frequent dreams.

He dreamed that Song Ning disappeared after taking the college entrance exam. His phone number was disconnected, and the address in his school-home notebook led to an empty house. Lu Nanxi searched for him like a madman, but couldn't find him anywhere.

It wasn't until ten years later that he finally saw Song Ning again, lying in a hospital bed, gaunt and fast asleep.

A sheet of paper lay by Song Ning's pillow. When Lu Nanxi saw the words "Wish List for Being Reborn" written on it, he clenched the fist hanging at his side so hard that the veins stood out.

He thought that he, too, wished he could go back to high school, to a time when there was still a chance to change everything.

He would hold on tightly to Song Ning and ask why he had disappeared, why he had never contacted him, what had happened to him over the years, and what all these wishes meant

He would ask what the unfinished nineteenth wish was, too.

The day after waking from the dream, Song Ning, lively and in perfect health, walked into the classroom and sat down beside him, as full of energy as ever.

The boy was sunny, handsome, and a little mischievous. After sitting down, he tilted his head to look at Lu Nanxi, gazing at him for a long time as if he couldn't get enough.

Then Song Ning broke into a grin and said hoarsely, "Lu Nanxi, it's been a long time."

At that moment, Lu Nanxi's pupils contracted sharply.

A premonition rose in his heart.

Perhaps a miracle really had come to them.
