e supported her waist and tried to sit down beside Fang Yusheng.

Her stomach was too big for her to sit down.

Fang Yusheng helped her.

Qiao Jiusheng sat down beside Fang Yusheng before asking, “Why did you suddenly apologize?”

Fang Yusheng looked at the ground, and many things flashed through his mind.
His expression became guilty and sad.
He said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize you.”

Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.
“When we met, you couldn’t see, so it was normal that you couldn’t recognize me.
I didn’t recognize you either, right?” Qiao Jiusheng thought that he was talking about this lifetime.
Just as she finished speaking, she heard Fang Yusheng say, “If I knew it was you, I wouldn’t have sent you to a nursing home.”

Qiao Jiusheng froze.

She turned around and looked at Fang Yusheng in shock.
“W-What are you talking about? What nursing home?” She had been to a nursing home only in her previous life.

Fang Yusheng turned his head, and their eyes met.
Qiao Jiusheng saw that Fang Yusheng’s eyes were red again.

Fang Yusheng sniffled as though he was about to cry.

“I’m sorry, I really didn’t know that it was you.
Your appearance…” He covered his face with his hand, which was giving the cats food.
The face in his palm was filled with guilt.” Ah Sheng, you’ve suffered so much.
I’m useless.
If I had discovered that Qiao Jiuyin had hidden you earlier, if I could’ve saved you.
Perhaps, you wouldn’t have suffered so much…”

Qiao Jiusheng could no longer hear what Fang Yusheng was saying.

There was only one thought in her mind: How did Fang Yusheng know about my past life?

After a long period of shock, Qiao Jiusheng finally found her thoughts.

She asked Fang Yusheng in disbelief and confusion, “How did you know?”

Fang Yusheng looked at her with a complicated expression.

Should I tell her that I used 40 years of my lifespan in exchange for her rebirth? According to Number 199, in this life, if they fell in love and their wish was fulfilled, he would be rewarded with 40 years of lifespan.
However, as the price of going back in time, 20 years of his lifespan would be deducted.

In this life, he could live till 75.

He was not yet 35 and could still accompany Ah Sheng for more than 40 years.

Fang Yusheng was silent for a moment before saying, “Because I’m also someone who has been reborn.” He was also someone who had been reborn.
He still did not intend to tell Qiao Jiusheng about the agreement between him and Number 199, afraid that Qiao Jiusheng would feel burdened upon knowing it.

Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.
“You… you too?” She was stunned.
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Fang Yusheng said, “I fainted this time because I remembered those things.”

Qiao Jiusheng gave him a knowing look.

She was quiet for a moment, and when she spoke again, her tone was quite calm.
“You mean you knew me from my previous life?”

“Yeah.”

“You’ve seen me before?” Qiao Jiusheng found it unbelievable.

In her previous life, Fang Yusheng was just a stranger to her.
The only connection between them was Fang Mu.
To Qiao Jiusheng, he was only Fang Mu’s older brother.
Other than that, they had nothing to do with each other.
However, Fang Yusheng told her that they had met before!

This indeed surprised Qiao Jiusheng.

Fang Yusheng nodded.
Seeing Qiao Jiusheng staring at him, he explained, “The night before Qiao Jiuyin died, she went to see you.
That was why Bufan discovered your existence.
He went to investigate your identity, but because you were locked up for so many years, he could no longer find out anything about you.”

He added, “Your appearance had changed drastically.
You looked like you were worlds apart from Qiao Jiuyin.
No one could link you to Qiao Jiusheng.
I didn’t recognize you either.” That was why he had to apologize to her.

Qiao Jiusheng did not blame him.
After knowing all this, she did not feel any resentment.

“So, it wasn’t Qiao Jiuyin’s idea to send me to the nursing home, but yours?”

Fang Yusheng nodded.
“Yes, I sent you to the nursing home.”

Qiao Jiusheng acknowledged him.

She looked up at the starless sky and thought of something.
She suddenly asked, “I heard from the director that you donated five million yuan to our nursing home before passing away.”

Fang Yusheng did not deny it.

Qiao Jiusheng asked, “Why?” Since he did not know me, why did he donate money?

Fang Yusheng was speechless.

Yes, in his will, a portion of the money was donated to the widowed elderly for charity.
But why did he have to donate another five million to a quiet retirement home?

Fang Yusheng himself could not answer it.

Seeing him remain silent, Qiao Jiusheng did not probe further.

She was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “After you died, I lived for another nine years.” Wei Shuyi had accompanied her for twelve years.
The year that Fang Yusheng died was the third year after she had entered the nursing home.
She said, “Wei Shuyi watched me leave, so after I was reborn and had no other way out, I went to look for him.

“In the nursing home, he often made dumplings and stir-fried pig liver for us to eat.” Qiao Jiusheng had been locked up for more than twenty years.
She was afraid of hunger and loneliness.
Wei Shuyi had accompanied her and even let her eat her fill and wear his clothes.
Hence, Wei Shuyi was Qiao Jiusheng’s most trusted person, and she was the most grateful for him.

“He’s a good person.”

Qiao Jiusheng agreed with this assessment.

“I’ve seen the diary you wrote.” Qiao Jiusheng tilted her head to look at Fang Yusheng.
When she realized that Fang Yusheng was in a daze, she explained, “After you died, the media made your will and notes public.
Everyone knew that you were a murderer.” But at the same time, this murderer was also a great philanthropist.

Fang Yusheng thought of the things he had written and said, “I’ve loved you for two lifetimes.
Qiao Jiusheng, you’re such a silly and sweet girl.
Wasn’t that worth it for me to do all this?” He stared at Qiao Jiusheng’s face carefully for a long time, but he could not find an answer.

“Perhaps, the more thoughtful a person is, the more they will like a fool like you.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng raised her eyebrows but did not comment.

“As long as you’re not stupid.”

However, Qiao Jiusheng still had a question in her heart.
This question had puzzled her for a long time.
She asked Fang Yusheng, “So why did you suddenly die when you were 55 years old?” She had seen how Fang Yusheng looked when he was dead.
In the newspaper, the photos showed that his expression when he died was especially quiet and peaceful.

He did not look like a dead person at all.
Instead, he looked like he had fallen asleep.

He had died with dignity, wearing a suit and tie.
