Rebirth: I Like You

The two finally got back home before dinner, and everyone saw them returning with so many things and came to help carry them back.

"Where's grandpa? Why can't I see him?"

"He went fishing with Lao Ji from next door. He heard that you won a prize in the essay competition, and he has been bragging about it to others all day."

An Shuangling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After putting all her things away, she decided to go out and see her grandfather.

After all, it was very close to the time when her grandfather had the accident in her previous life. Although she was not sure about the exact day, An Shuangling only knew that he was hit by a car, rolled from the roadside into the river, injured his leg, and choked on a lot of water.

These days, An Shuangling reminds grandpa every day to be careful when going out and not to go fishing.

The fish pond is on the side of a main road, and people often fish there. The owner is a good friend of my grandfather. He never charges my grandfather any money and often invites him to go fishing.

After moving the last bit of stuff back, An Shuangling said hello to her grandmother: "Grandma, I'm going to go see Grandpa fishing and ask him to come back for dinner."

Grandma smiled and said, "Then go ahead and tell him to come back for dinner quickly. Be careful about traffic safety on the way."

After hearing this, An Shuangling nodded vigorously.

In early May, the pear blossoms on both sides of the road were still in full bloom, and when the wind blew, they fell all over the ground. She was wearing a goose yellow dress today, and the pear blossoms fell on her head, shoulders, and face.

The children playing by the roadside stared at her intently.

The children's clothes were covered in dirt, and the girls' hair was covered in cobwebs and dry leaves.

The cute little girl with round face looked up and asked her brother: "Is that sister a fairy? She is so beautiful!"

Her mother told her bedtime stories every night, one of which was about fairies descending to earth. It was said that fairies were very beautiful.

The brother replied embarrassedly: "Silly sister, there are no gods in this world, they are all made up by people, they are not real."

The little sister didn't believe what her brother said, she ran towards An Shuangling, her brother couldn't hold her back in time, and covered his face helplessly. How embarrassing!

"Sister, hello! Are you a fairy from heaven? I want you to turn me into a bag of spicy noodles, is that okay?"

Seeing how cute she was, with her round, rosy little face and bright eyes full of curiosity, An Shuangling couldn't help but reach out and rub the little girl's hair, then took out two coconut candies from her pocket and handed them to her.

"I'm not a fairy, I'm an ordinary person. You should go home quickly. There are so many cars on the roadside, it's very dangerous."

The little girl skipped back to her brother with the candy in her hand.

An Shuangling walked quickly towards the fish pond. Just as she reached the edge of the pond, she heard someone shouting, "Get out of the way!" That voice was so familiar.

An Shuangling's heart was beating fast, her mind went blank, and she ran towards the fish pond.

I saw a car rushing out of control towards the fish pond where my grandfather happened to be sitting.

"puff"

Grandpa fell into the fish pond and kept struggling in the water.

"Hurry up, help, someone has fallen into the water."

The water in this fish pond is quite deep, estimated to be more than two meters high, and there is silt at the bottom. It rained a few days ago, and the water level is quite high.

An Shuangling's heart seemed empty. Although the weather was warm today, she felt as if she was falling into an icy cave.

When she ran to the fish pond, she saw her grandfather struggling in the water, slapping the surface of the water constantly, and the water in the fish pond kept pouring into his mouth.

Her grandfather was over seventy years old. Seeing him struggling in the water, she hated herself for not being able to swim.

The old people on the shore were all in their seventies or eighties like my grandfather, and they were all poor swimmers, so none of them dared to jump into the water to rescue.

They went to find a long bamboo pole to pull An Shuangling's grandfather up.

An Shuangling didn't dare to hesitate and was about to walk into the water to pull the person back.

Grandpa Tan beside her grabbed her and asked, "Can you swim?"

"I won't."

"Then how can you jump into the water to rescue him? Don't worry, a young man has already jumped in."

She looked at the water surface and saw that a young man had pulled her grandfather out of the water.

Seeing An Shuangling looking at him and smiling at her, her big white teeth were particularly dazzling.

The grandfather grabbed the boy's clothes and was pulled ashore by the boy. The grandfather had been coughing because he had just choked on water.

"Thank you, classmate."

"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake for me."

After pulling the person ashore, the boy walked straight to the little girl and looked at her quietly.

Her black grape-like eyes were full of anxiety, her long curly eyelashes were trembling, and the wind blew her hair into disarray.

"How will you be here?"

"This is my grandpa. Thank you for saving him. I will never forget your kindness."

"Oh, what are you going to pay me back with?"

"I won't talk to you for now. I need to go see if my grandpa is okay."

An Shuangling quickly walked towards her grandfather and patted him gently on the back.

After grandpa coughed up the water, An Shuangling gently helped grandpa up from the ground.

Panlong's entire body was soaked and dripping with water, his hair sticking to his scalp.

A snow-white shirt stuck to his body, and one could vaguely see that he had a good figure and long, slender and strong legs. He was looking straight at the little girl.

Grandpa Qin said, "Brother, I was so scared. How could that car lose control and crash into this side? Thanks to this young man today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Brother, are you okay?"

An Shuangling's grandfather turned around and looked at the car that had knocked him into the water, and asked loudly, "Where did the car come from? Why did it hit us?"

As soon as I asked the question, my grandfather started holding his legs and crying, probably because he was hurt by the car.

I saw that my grandfather’s face was pale and weak, and he looked like he was in great pain.

"What's wrong, Grandpa, are you okay? Let's go to the hospital right away."

Grandpa waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We have medicine for injuries at home. We can just apply the medicine when we get home. There's no need to go to the hospital."

"Okay, I'll help you back. Can you still walk?"

"Old man, let me carry you on my back."

Panlong squatted down after he finished speaking. An Shuangling helped her grandfather over without hesitation.

"Panlong, just follow me. I'll lead the way."

"You two know each other."

"Grandpa, this is my college classmate Panlong."

"Oh, I see. Thank you so much for being my classmate today. Otherwise, I, your grandfather, would have lost my life here. I never thought that the fish I have been fishing for for more than ten years would be bumped into the fish pond today."

"Old sir, I'm so sorry. I'm the owner of this car. I don't know why the car suddenly lost control today and crashed you into the fish pond. I'm really sorry and I'm willing to compensate you for any losses. Here is my business card, please take it."
