Chapter 510: Is This Fate?
Yuhai Garden.
Although Chen Fan had only stayed here once with Su Ruochu after buying it.
But afterwards, Su Ruochu would occasionally come to check on it when she was free, clean up a bit, and Old Feng had arranged for regular cleaners to come and tidy up.
So even though no one had lived here for a long time, the house was actually very clean, just a bit musty when first entering.
Chen Fan didn't have Feng Pojun notify the cleaners to come, but instead first opened the windows to air out the place, then took off all the bed sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases in the rooms and put them in the washing machine to clean.
Finally, he rolled up his sleeves and thoroughly cleaned every corner of the rooms inside and out.
This was his and Su Ruochu's house.
Whether in his previous life or this one, Chen Fan had very deep feelings for this place.
So he preferred to clean it himself personally.
By the time he finished, it was already past 2 pm.
Chen Fan hadn't even eaten lunch, and wiped the sweat from his face alone, looking at the refreshed house, finally revealing a satisfied smile.
Originally he had just planned to lie on the sofa and watch some TV while waiting for Su Ruochu to return.
But Chen Fan ended up falling asleep, and even had a dream.
In the dream, he seemed to return to his previous life.
After graduation, the two of them found this place, and after some haggling, finally rented this little love nest that belonged to just the two of them.
Although the house was very run-down, Su Ruochu liked it very much.
She bought fresh flowers to decorate the house.
The two would lean against the sofa eating cheap takeout together, then discuss their future plans.
At that time, those were Chen Fan's happiest days.
Chen Fan would imagine that if he became successful in the future, he could buy Su Ruochu a bigger house, and lots and lots of gifts.
Su Ruochu's dream was to open the window and see the sea, with a garden full of flowers.
So Chen Fan told her, when he had money in the future, he would definitely buy her a detached villa in a coastal southern city, with the front garden filled with flowers.
Whenever he said this, Su Ruochu would never mock Chen Fan for boasting. Instead, she would smile and link arms with Chen Fan, encouraging him:
"Then you'd better work hard, I'll be waiting for the day you fulfill your promise."
Sometimes Su Ruochu would imagine what it would be like when they got married in the future.
They didn't need many children, one or two would do. Chen Fan would earn money outside, while Su Ruochu would take care of the children, cook meals every day and wait for him to come home with the kids.
Unfortunately, before any of this could be realized, an accident came first.
Chen Fan rushed to the scene in a panic, looking at Su Ruochu lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the road.
He couldn't imagine what state he was in at that time.
He only felt that the sky was dark and the earth was collapsing, as if the whole world had already crumbled.
Perhaps, in his previous life, his life had already ended from the day Su Ruochu left him.
"Ruochu, Ruochu..."
"Don't leave me!"
Chen Fan held Su Ruochu and cried heartbrokenly.
He desperately begged the people around for help, but unfortunately no one around helped.
Chen Fan despaired, using all his strength to try to lift Su Ruochu up.
"Ruochu..."
"Chen Fan!"
"Chen Fan, wake up quickly!"
In a daze, Chen Fan heard someone calling his name.
Slowly opening his eyes, he realized Su Ruochu was crouching in front of him, looking at him with a worried expression.
Seeing Chen Fan open his eyes, Su Ruochu finally let out a long sigh of relief, but still asked with some concern:
"Are you alright? What happened to you just now?"
"Did you have a nightmare?"
Chen Fan sat up from the sofa, only then noticing his whole body was already soaked in cold sweat.
So it was a nightmare.
"I, was asleep."
But Su Ruochu was still worried. She pulled Chen Fan close to examine him carefully.
"Are you sure you're okay? Just now your face was deathly pale, and you kept thrashing around, calling out my name."
Su Ruochu was so anxious she was almost crying.
"I was scared to death when I came in and saw this scene just now."
Chen Fan smiled and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Really, I'm fine. Just had a nightmare."
"You scared me to death."
Su Ruochu was still shaken, tightly gripping Chen Fan's hand and refusing to let go.
Chen Fan grinned, "Really, I'm fine. What time is it?"
Glancing outside, he was surprised.
"It's almost dark. I actually slept for so long."
Su Ruochu said softly: "Have you not been resting well these days? Why don't you go sleep a bit more on the bed?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "It's fine. I'll go wash my face, then we'll eat dinner."
Su Ruochu pointed at the dining table, "I called you when I arrived, but you didn't answer, so I bought dinner back."
Chen Fan smiled: "That's perfect, saves us from having to cook. I'm starving now."
Su Ruochu stood up. "I'll go get you a bowl."
Watching Su Ruochu walk into the kitchen, Chen Fan went into the bathroom alone.
The nightmare just now had left his short-sleeved shirt completely soaked.
He simply took it off and threw it in the sink, then stripped naked and took a quick shower.
While drying his hair, Chen Fan looked at himself in the mirror, his expression calm yet profound.
In his previous life, Su Ruochu's car accident happened in the second month after graduation, which was the end of August.
The happy little life they had just begun only existed for two months before Chen Fan completely lost Su Ruochu.
Now it was already the end of June.
There was less than two months left until the time of Su Ruochu's accident in the previous life.
Why would he have such a nightmare now?
Could it be some kind of premonition?
Was this some kind of fate?
Or was everything that happened in the previous life unchangeable?
The more Chen Fan thought about it, the more nervous he became, his face turning slightly pale.
He couldn't imagine, if all of this was fate and couldn't be changed.
If Su Ruochu left him again two months later, would he still have the courage to go on living?
In his previous life, he had already lost her once.
He understood that kind of bone-deep, clear pain.
In this life, he had finally managed to accompany Su Ruochu to this point with great difficulty.
But there were still many regrets unfulfilled.
He still hadn't married her, still hadn't bought her the big house by the sea, still hadn't taken her to see the world, still didn't have their own child...
No!
Absolutely not!
In the mirror, Chen Fan's eyes became frenzied yet determined.
Since he was a reincarnator, he absolutely would not allow all this to happen again.
Even if it was fate, then he would break that fate.
Chen Fan looked down at his own palm, clenching his fist slightly.
His finger joints were faintly white from gripping too tightly.
"Fate, huh?"
"To hell with fate. I will never bow my head to fate in this life."
Chen Fan's gaze gradually became firm.
Even if it was fate, even if everything was destined to happen.
He would still snatch Su Ruochu back from the hands of death.
Absolutely, he would not allow her to leave him.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Fan put on his pants and walked out of the bathroom bare-chested.
In the living room, Su Ruochu was setting out the dishes. She looked up and saw Chen Fan shirtless, feeling a bit shy.
But then she asked in surprise: "Are you... okay? Why do you look so awful?"
Chen Fan smiled and walked over, gently embracing Su Ruochu.
"Wife, in this life, no one can take you away from me."
"Not even the heavens!"
