Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Shang Shuyue was stunned.

She never expected Jiang Yan meant this.

She stood up blankly and gazed into the distant horizon from the deck.

The endless moonlight poured down from there, sparkling, gentle and warm.

Just like the gaze from her grandmother so many times in the past.

Shang Shuyue immediately burst into tears.

Jiang Yan did not disturb her, just slowed down the speed of the boat.

"If you want to cry, just cry, no one will hear you here."

"After tonight, you will still be the proud and confident Shang Shuyue."

Shang Shuyue started crying out loud.

Until she was completely exhausted, she sobbed and got up to hug Jiang Yan.

"Thank you, I..."

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment.

Then his heart started racing.

"No... it's what I should do."

"Did you forget? I promised you before."

"Alright, if you keep crying, you'll have to wear sunglasses to class tomorrow, and if anyone laughs at you, I can't help."

Shang Shuyue chuckled.

She wiped away her tears and looked up at Jiang Yan again.

The young man stood on the deck, his white shirt billowed by the sea breeze, and his hair was turned silver by the moonlight.

He was like a seagull, exuding boundless vitality.

And like the ocean waves, lifting her who almost drowned.

This time, she could no longer restrain her surging heart.

"Jiang Yan." The girl's eyes glistened with the moonlight, "Thank you, this time, truly thank you sincerely."

Jiang Yan didn't say anything, just smiled gently.

He sat down beside her.

"If I wake up tomorrow morning and I'm not the same anymore, would you still want to be near me?"

He asked cautiously.

Shang Shuyue, although still not fully understanding, this time she seriously said:

"I would."

His actions tonight were enough for her to forgive him a thousand times in this life.

Shang Shuyue extended her hand, "But only a thousand times, if you do something outrageous over a thousand times, I will sever ties with you."

Jiang Yan hooked her pinky and smiled along.

"It's a deal."

"But there's one more thing, next time learn some boxing, that way you can protect yourself."

"And, if I become bad again, you should stay away from me, your own safety is the most important."

"Oh, also, remember to keep your distance from my sister, she's nice but that's later on, at least for now, stay away from her."

"I'll leave this boat here, whenever you're in a bad mood you can come to drive it."

"But don't bring other boys over, or I'll kick him into the sea!"

...

...

The first light of dawn poured down, Jiang Yan recalled the bits and pieces of last night with Shang Shuyue, and a smile unconsciously lifted the corners of his mouth.

He held his head and forced himself to sit up, and when he was fully awake, his eyes opened to the familiar room.

Looking at his own weary reflection in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Jiang Yan was dazed again.

Was this... a dream?

But this dream felt too real.

His gaze unconsciously moved to the diary on the floor, opened on the exact page of October 28th—

[October 28th, xx year, Sunny

I think I will always remember everything that happened last night.

I've decided, no matter how bad a person Jiang Yan may become in the future, because of last night, I can forgive him a thousand times!]

Jiang Yan's eyes widened.

No!

That wasn't a dream!

That was definitely not a dream!

All the memories surged like the sea.

Jiang Yan couldn't care about anything, grabbed the car keys and rushed out, finally arriving at that port before noon.

Over a decade had passed, and the boat originally there was long gone.

But it was still familiar to his memory.

He ran along the coast, repeatedly shouting Shang Shuyue's name.

But even when his voice was hoarse, there was still no response.

Jiang Yan was so exhausted from running, he tilted his head back and fell onto the sand.

Under the glaring sunlight, he felt only pain.

Why?

Why did he realize things so late?

"Excuse me, you can't lie here."

A suddenly familiar voice came over, and Jiang Yan sprang up like a carp.

Looking back, who else could it be but Shang Shuyue?

She walked against the light, yet her figure was remarkably clear.

Jiang Yan couldn't stop his eyes from turning red and rushed forward to hug her tightly.

"I'm sorry, Shu Yue, I..."

At that moment, the 27-year-old Jiang Yan cried like a 17-year-old boy.

Shang Shuyue patted his back, somewhat comforted.

"I'm already happy you still remember this place."

"So, are you the best version of yourself now?"

In the past, Shang Shuyue always asked him this question.

He always thought she was being strange.

But now, he understood it all.

Jiang Yan nodded vigorously, wiped his tears, and suddenly knelt down.

Shang Shuyue was taken aback.

"Even if you're apologizing, you don't have to do it so grandly, right?"

"No." Jiang Yan wiped his tears again, "I—"

He choked up several times before he could speak.

"Even though it's a bit sudden, but..."

"Last time, you confessed to me by the sea, but this time, I want to go first."

"Shang Shuyue, I..."

He couldn't hold back and cried out again.

Shang Shuyue also couldn't hold back, holding back laughter and patting his back, "Alright, I know what you're going to say, get up first."

"No." Jiang Yan took a deep breath, "Now I'm ready."

"I..." His face was flushing red, "Alright, I'll say it directly, Shang Shuyue, marry me, I promise from today, I won't let you down for the thousand and first time."

After he said that, he looked around quickly and finally found a nice shell in the sand to place in his palm.

"Today is a bit rushed, but soon I will take you to buy a diamond ring even bigger than this shell."

"Really? Then it's a deal." Shang Shuyue smiled and extended her hand. "I won't tolerate any backing out."

Jiang Yan solemnly placed the shell on her ring finger.

The bright sun was shining dazzlingly.

Their story was just beginning.
