Back in High School to Save My Wife

The year Liang Qi married her wife, Jiang Yuan, she was already twenty-eight. Her career was thriving, she had no worries about food or clothing, and their life together was uneventful but smooth in every respect.

In Liang Qi's eyes, her wife was gentle and obedient, and never lost her temper with her.

Her only flaw was that she did not like to talk.

Liang Qi had complained to her friends countless times that her wife was too introverted. It was only after her wife died that she found a large supply of antidepressants and more than ten years of diagnostic reports in the bedside table.

That night, she was driving to a company meeting when she lost focus and crashed into a guardrail.

When Liang Qi opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she was eighteen.

On the tree-lined path at school, she saw her wife, still a high school student, being pinned against a wall and bullied by a group of vicious girls.

Her heart pounding like a drum, Liang Qi raced over and rescued her.

Grinning, Liang Qi said, "Little sister, how about you stick with big sis from now on?"

Jiang Yuan frowned. "You scared my friend. Aren't you even going to apologize?"

Liang Qi: ???

I thought I was rescuing my wife, but I actually made things worse?

Ten years ago, Jiang Yuan was aloof and solitary, constantly singled out at school, like a block of ice that could never be warmed.

Her deskmate, however, had no sense of self-preservation and was always teasing her.

Everyone at school knew Liang Qi liked Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan remained unmoved.

One day, Jiang Yuan saw her deskmate on the sports field, gathering all her besties and gesturing excitedly. "When she gets here, you all do this..."

Jiang Yuan looked puzzled. "Hm?"

Hearing her, Liang Qi instantly hid behind her. Crying, she tucked the onion in her hand out of sight. "You really came to save me! I knew you loved me!"

Jiang Yuan: ...

Keep pretending. Go on, pretend some more.

I would spend my life kissing your wounds with tenderness and embracing love, becoming a source of warmth that burns forever in your ice-cold life.

Scheming green tea girl X aloof beauty, both top students.

The gong is reborn and saves the shou. Both are each other's first and it has a happy ending.
