If Time Falls Silent [Reincarnation]

[Blurb] [In the future, the person you love will die in the past.] At fifteen, Jing Nian fell in love with a man. He was tall and handsome. Whenever they met, he would be wearing a handsome police uniform, and crouch down to buy Jing Nian her favorite cotton candy. Jing Nian asked the man why there was always a faint sadness in his gaze when he looked at her. The man fell silent, then reached out and ruffled Jing Nian's hair. "Because," "I love you." Fifteen-year-old Jing Nian had yet to understand what "love" truly was. They spent spring, summer, and autumn together. The man appeared at irregular times, but Jing Nian knew that the next time would come, and she would meet him on some street corner, holding his old umbrella. Until that winter, when the man died on the icy snow. Blood flowed across the entire intersection, and he still clutched the old umbrella in his hand. Jing Nian wept inconsolably. She buried her love forever in the winter when she was fifteen. * Ten years later, twenty-five-year-old Jing Nian got into an argument with her landlord and angrily went straight to the police station to report him. An important case happened to be under investigation at the station that day. The place was full of uniformed officers, all exuding a cool, disciplined air. Jing Nian angrily told the officer taking her statement about her landlord's oppressive behavior. The officer listened impatiently, and while he was getting a drink of water, another policeman took his place. The young officer who had just arrived picked up his pen and asked her in a professional manner, "Ma'am, please tell me your name and address again." A familiar voice rose from her memories. Jing Nian looked up. The face across from her gradually merged with the one in her memory. When Jing Nian said nothing, the young police officer repeated himself in a cool voice, "Hello, ma'am. I'm Officer Wen Yuan, and I'll be taking your statement from here." "Please repeat your name and address." "Uncle, what's your name?" "..." "Wen Yuan."
