Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife

Ever since the hospital's last frank discussion, Koji Ishino has never sent any paintings to Luohan Hall again.

Now that everything has returned to normal, Tang Wenwan has more time to think about her agreement with Jiang Kaichen.

As she approaches her twenties day by day, Tang Wenwan in the two lives no longer has the expectations and excitement of her previous life. She thinks more about what kind of future she wants.

"Xiaoxue, have you ever planned your life?"

Sitting side by side with Hashimoto Yuki in the corridor, Tang Wenwan looked into the distance thoughtfully and asked Hashimoto Yuki.

"planning?"

Hashimoto Yuki asked, swinging her feet boredly and looking confused.

“How to plan?”

"Didn't Mr. Hashimoto say that he would send you down the mountain when you came of age? Have you thought about what you're going to do after you get down the mountain?"

Tang Wenwan asked casually.

"No, you know I don't want to go down the mountain, so I don't even want to think about what to do after I go down the mountain."

Hashimoto Yuki frowned and was a little reluctant to talk about this topic.

"I'll just do whatever the master tells me to do. Who cares?"

She replied indifferently.

"What kind of person do you want to be in the future?"

Tang Wenwan stared at the arhats on the ground not far away and continued to ask. It sounded more like she was asking herself than asking Hashimoto Xue.

"You can't rely on Master for your whole life. Do you want to protect Master one day?"

The pair of eagle eyes appeared in Tang Wenwan's mind again. How she wished she could stand shoulder to shoulder with him instead of being collected like a porcelain doll for the rest of her life.

"Yes, I want to protect Master. I will accompany Master for the rest of my life."

Hashimoto Xue was a little confused by the question. She looked at Tang Wenwan as if she understood, but also as if she didn't understand.

"Then what can you use to protect Master?"

The wind blew the bamboo leaves all over the ground. Looking at her own shadow in the setting sun, Hashimoto Yuki was asked as if she was a still picture and fell silent.

"Teacher, I brought you something."

Just as the two little girls were lost in thought, Guan Ben Liangxiong walked in with a package.

"I heard you're having a birthday, so I came to ask what your wish list is so I can help you prepare it in advance."

"Well, I need to say goodbye properly. I will be leaving Japan after this birthday."

Tang Wenwan took the package and led Guan Ben Liangxiong to the tea table.

"What? You're leaving?"

Hashimoto Yuki screamed in shock.

"Does master know?"

Hashimoto Yuki followed behind with a reluctant look on her face and asked.

"I have been in Japan for two years now, and I have to say goodbye. Master, I will go and tell him in the next two days."

Tang Wenwan walked to the tea table and sat down, motioning for them to sit down as well, and began to make tea for them.

"Well, Jiang Kaichen is eager to catch you back immediately. He is patient enough to have endured until now."

Guan Ben Liangxiong had heard the news a long time ago. He sat down, took the teacup calmly, and looked at Tang Wenwan's frustrated face meaningfully.

"Are you reluctant to leave?" he asked jokingly.

"We can't bear to part with you either!" He looked at Hashimoto Yuki and said with a hint of meaning, "And the one lying in the hospital."

"How is Ishino Koji?"

Tang Wenwan didn't know how to respond to his sensational topic, so she had to divert his attention.

"That kid has been pretty quiet lately. He just asked me to send you this. I don't know what kind of treasure it is."

Guan Ben Liangxiong pointed at the package on the table, his eyes moved slightly, revealing a hint of inquiry.

"what is this?"

Hashimoto Yuki also came over curiously.

Tang Wenwan felt that if she didn't take it down in front of the two of them, she would not be able to explain herself.

Several thick picture albums, plus a school introduction.

"Wow, what kind of paintings are these?"

Both Hashimoto Yuki and Kanmoto Ryoo were attracted by the picture album at the first moment. The little girl even couldn't wait to pick up a copy and started flipping through it page by page.

"This is a special introduction to Italian frescoes, which appeared earlier in ancient Greece and Rome. During the Italian Renaissance, frescoes reached their peak and were widely used in the decoration of churches and palaces in Europe.

It is like the Ukiyo-e paintings handed down from the Edo period in Japan, a traditional art form with a long history.”

Tang Wenwan's eyes lit up and she took the enrollment brochure of the fresco school in her hand.

Guan Ben Liangxiong saw everything, frowned calmly, and said with a forced smile:

"This kid knows you won't accept his paintings, but he still comes here to show off his presence."

Tang Wenwan squeezed the enrollment brochure in her hand again and pushed the picture albums towards Guan Ben Liang Xiong.

"These styles are really worth studying. I leave them to you. Take a good look at them. Maybe they will inspire you to create new amulets."

~~~~~~

"Teacher, I'm leaving."

Tang Wenwan knelt in front of Hashimoto Kosuke and carefully brewed a cup of tea for him.

Kosuke Hashimoto didn't say anything. He took the tea and just looked at her steadily, as if to ask her to finish what she was saying.

"But I haven't decided where to go yet."

Feeling as if she was exposed, Tang Wenwan became panicked for a moment, and it was only in front of him that she was always exposed.

“You don’t want to go back.”

Kousuke Hashimoto took a sip of the tea in his hand and laughed softly.

“There are many roads, you will only know them if you walk them.”

He put down the teacup and looked at Tang Wenwan with squinted eyes.

“I’m afraid I’ll go the wrong way.”

All the courage became weak under the gaze of those eyes. Tang Wenwan lowered her head, her voice filled with dejection.

In this life, she has indeed always wanted to try different changes, but what she can't let go of deep in her heart is her attachment to Jiang Kaichen, she can't let it go.

"Do you regret doing this over again and getting to where you are now in a different way?"

Hashimoto Kosuke asked in a deep voice.

Tang Wenwan twirled the corner of her Taoist robe, frowned, and went over in her mind everything that had happened since her rebirth.

"No regrets."

She raised her head and looked at Hashimoto Kosuke bravely.

Kosuke Hashimoto smiled and nodded, and then stopped talking.

“I want to be myself.”

Under the gaze of Kousuke Hashimoto, Tang Wenwan remembered what she had asked Hashimoto Xue and suddenly blurted out these words.

“But I don’t know what I should be like.”

After saying that, she slumped her shoulders in frustration and began to sulk in frustration.

In the previous life, I used all my energy to fight against Jiang Kaichen, thinking that what I was fighting for was freedom.

But in this life, after gaining freedom, I don’t know what true freedom is, and I feel that life is confused across time and space.

"What prompted you and Xiaoxue to come to Japan in the first place?"

Hashimoto Kosuke's voice came again warmly.

"If you want to have a different life, come here whenever you want."

Tang Wenwan tried hard to recall the night of their farewell at the dock. Her resentment towards Jiang Kaichen had completely blurred, and the only clear memory she had was that she had a very strong desire to come to Japan.

"Then go if you want to go. Life has many possibilities, and your thoughts will take you wherever you want to go."

Looking at Hashimoto Kosuke's encouraging eyes, Tang Wenwan once again thought of the admission brochure, and her eyes gradually became less confused.
