She Lives without Regret in This Life

A green train passing through the Southern Small City traversed the vast northern plains. Inside the train, it was bustling, filled with people. In the sleeper compartment, a burly man held a boxed meal, trying his best to keep his voice down as he called to the girl sleeping on the bunk bed.

”Yun Bo, wake up, it’s time to eat.” He called once, but seeing the girl still had her eyes shut, he reached out to feel her forehead, which was burning hot. However, before he could withdraw his hand, the person who initially had her eyes closed suddenly opened them, and the coldness in her eyes seemed to penetrate to the bone.

Her actions were faster than her eye-opening speed. Her right hand was like lightning, swiftly grabbing the man’s wrist, and with a push and a pull, she easily dislocated his entire arm.

”Yun Bo, it’s me.” Fortunately, the man’s reaction was also quick. Although everything happening before him exceeded his imagination, at least he wasn’t embarrassed enough to scream and shout.

Gu Yunbo sat up in bed, and the first thing she saw was her slender, fair wrists, appearing so fragile as if they might break with a little force. Her mind went blank for a moment.

What kind of ghostly appearance is this?

Slim to the point of pity, as if experiencing a famine at home.

She slightly furrowed her brow, her seventeen-year-old face still carrying traces of childishness.

”Yun Bo, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

Gu Yunbo turned her gaze to the man, who appeared to be in his forties, with dark skin and a very burly build. His eyes showed concern as he looked at her, and judging by his response earlier, he must be a rescue comrade.

She had spent enough time at Xilin University to have some discernment.

While Gu Yunbo was lost in wild thoughts, her gaze fell upon the man’s face, and the sharpness of her look almost made the man feel fear.

It was truly baffling; she was clearly just a seventeen-year-old girl, who had never left Dashan since childhood. How could she have such a look? When he was coming, his wife mentioned that she was just a naive girl who hadn’t seen the world.

Buried memories were unlocked, and Gu Yunbo hesitantly asked, ”Are you Ping Guo Fei?”

”Silly girl, I’m your Uncle Ping! How could you forget?” Ping Guo Fei showed a simple and honest smile.

Gu Yunbo nodded hesitantly and then shook her head, but her hands acted quickly, almost instinctively restoring Ping Guo Fei’s arm to its original position with nimble motions.

”You’re quite something, little girl. No wonder your Aunt Zhu praises your mother to the skies.” Ping Guo Fei moved his arm and, after confirming there were no after-effects, handed her the boxed meal he had in his other hand.

”Hehehe...” She couldn’t help but let out a cold smile. The greatest enemy of this lifetime was engraved in her bones from a young age. It was her only motivation to survive as a child. Even after taking revenge, she could not forget.

Zhu Meihua.

Ping Guo Fei’s wife.

”Here, have some food first!” Ping Guo Fei picked up a water cup and went to another end of the carriage to fetch water.

Gu Yunbo clutched the boxed meal in her arms, dazed, and opened it to the window, watching the scenery outside gradually retreat. The green train was exceptionally long, estimated to have more than twenty compartments. Her compartment was toward the front, and when the train made a turn, she could clearly see the compartments behind.

She rubbed her aching temples, still unable to believe everything she saw.

It was too familiar.

Yet too strange.

In her memories, this was the scene when she was first brought to the Ping Family at the age of seventeen. It was Ping Guo Fei who had specially taken leave from the rescue team, traveled to the remote Southern mountain areas, and brought her out of Dashan.
