Morning labor started, and it wasn't until noon that she finally went to bed.
After a hasty lunch, Tian Jing's stomach began to ache terribly after eating two bowls of sweet egg soup, the pain coming in waves that made her clench her teeth. Su Dan Xiaoshuo Wang
Li Zhengguo anxiously wiped his wife's sweat, while Sister-in-law Niu hurriedly told him to leave, "Your son is slow enough, don't cause trouble here. Go boil water, and have Li Min bring it inside."
Pain~
Waves of tearing pain made Tian Jing cry out.
Hearing Tian Tian's cries, Li Zhengguo didn't want to leave.
Tian Jing didn't want him to see her giving birth; it might leave him with psychological scars, right? "Zheng Ge, you go out."
Mother Li and Sister-in-law Niu pushed him out together.
Tian Jing took a breath. It hurt so much. She had actually planned to have three more?
"Hold it in for now," Sister-in-law Niu commanded.
Just as Tian Jing felt she was about to die from the pain, Sister-in-law Niu encouraged her, "Take deep breaths and push downwards as if you're defecating."
Tian Jing felt like laughing but couldn't. She was in so much pain.
After what felt like an eternity, Tian Jing finally heard something encouraging.
"Push a little harder, the head is showing."
But Tian Jing felt she had no strength left.
Seeing her daughter-in-law exhausted, Mother Li picked up the wine bottle her son had prepared earlier and poured the yellow liquid into Tian Jing's mouth.
Sister-in-law Niu smelled the medicinal scent, saw Tian Jing regain her strength, and started directing again.
"Ah!"
A wave of unbearable pain washed over Tian Jing. In her agony, she instinctively pushed down. It felt like the relief of finally expelling a stubborn bowel movement, and a sense of ease followed.
However, she felt herself becoming lighter and lighter, as if she were floating.
As she drifted, she saw a barren wasteland. Armed police with guns stood in rows, facing a person bound and kneeling on the ground.
Not far away, there was a large green truck filled with bound and gagged people.
Soon, one by one, people were pulled off the truck.
Only a beautiful woman and an ordinary-looking man remained.
When it was the woman's turn, she told the man she would never see him again in this lifetime.
Turning back, the woman didn't see the man's lips move.
Tian Jing clearly saw the man say, "I will find you in the next life."
With the sound of a gunshot, Tian Jing saw the beautiful woman's soul depart her body.
Curiously, she followed the soul as it drifted into a household.
The young mistress of the house had just discovered she was pregnant. The soul drifted into her belly, and no one noticed.
The man was happily telling his wife they would name their daughter Tian Jing and their son Tian Jing.
The woman chided her husband for an unfair name for their son.
The man chuckled, saying he was especially looking forward to a daughter.
Tian Jing thought her name was too common.
Just by chance, a family was planning to give their baby the same name as hers.
She wanted to float away but found she couldn't.
The affectionate interactions between the couple were so heartwarming that she couldn't bear to leave.
The woman often gently stroked her belly, talking to the baby inside.
The man bustled about, cooking for his wife and encouraging her to eat more when she felt nauseous.
After an unknown period, the man's parents arrived from town with a hen and eggs to see their daughter-in-law.
Tian Jing was astonished to find that the man's parents were her own grandparents.
Then, she looked closer at the man and woman. They were her parents in their youth!
No wonder she couldn't bear to leave.
No wonder she felt she had something important to do, yet still didn't want to leave. These were her parents.
No!
What about the woman? The woman who was shot, why had she taken her parents?
Tian Jing was anxious but helpless.
A few months later, the woman gave birth to a baby girl.
The girl grew to resemble her more and more. Tian Jing breathed a sigh of relief. This was her.
During elementary school, her parents took her to and from school, a warm and happy life.
In middle school, her father drove her. The girl always thanked her father and smiled sweetly at him.
Tian Jing watched and smiled along.
During the summer holiday before her third year of middle school, her grandparents died in a car accident.
She cried with the girl, and amidst her grief, she felt fortunate that her grandparents had passed away earlier.
Because after school started, the apocalypse would arrive.
Tian Jing desperately wanted to tell the girl, but no matter how she called out or floated in front of the girl, she couldn't be heard or seen.
The apocalypse arrived amidst her anxiety.
The family of three drove towards the base.
On the way, their car ran out of gas. They abandoned the car and walked, enduring countless hardships.
On a night when they were attacked by zombies, the father sacrificed himself to protect the girl and her mother, urging them to live well and that they would be safe once they reached the base.
"Dad!"
"Dad!"
Tian Jing and the girl cried out together for the man being gnawed on by zombies.
The woman, with tears in her eyes, pulled the girl away, determined to keep her daughter alive.
As they neared the base, the woman was bitten by a pursuing zombie while protecting the girl.
The woman quickly pushed the girl away, telling her to hurry and live well.
The girl, alone at the base, barely survived. Just as she was about to be assaulted, she awakened her powers.
From then on, the girl gained status at the base, but she wasn't happy. Why hadn't her powers awakened sooner?
Time flew by. Six years later, the base was surrounded by zombies, and as they were about to turn into zombies themselves, the girl self-detonated her powers and awoke at the end of 1975 in the Tian family, becoming Tian Jing of the 1970s.
The girl became Tian Jing?
Then who was she?
Tian Jing asked herself. Who was she?
Was she the girl? Was the girl the beautiful woman who was shot? That beautiful woman was indeed Tian Jing, whose real name was Chen Jing.
"Sweetie, wake up. Don't leave me alone."
Warm raindrops fell on her face, and a hoarse voice echoed in her ears.
"Sweetie, don't sleep anymore. Wake up quickly."
Who was calling her? Her father used to call her that, though he always called her Xiao Tian Tian.
The raindrops on her face increased. "Sweetie, be good, get up. You've slept for a whole day and night. Get up, or I'll spank your little bottom."
"You dare!"
"Sweetie? You're awake?"
"Mmm, you woke me up."
Tian Jing opened her eyes and saw a disheveled, teary-eyed, haggard man. He was the ordinary-looking man from the truck.
He was her man. In two lifetimes, he was hers, and she was his Jing Jing.
"I saw my mom and dad."
"Don't leave me," Li Zhengguo bent down and embraced her. "Sweetie, you promised me you'd take me with you. You almost broke your promise."
"I also saw a beautiful woman and an ordinary-looking man on a green truck, both bound and gagged."
Li Zhengguo looked up in surprise. "You?"
"Yes, I saw you say you would find her. I saw... then you woke me up."
Li Zhengguo lowered his head and gently kissed his treasure. "When I heard the gunshot, my only prayer was to stay by your side and compensate you. I never expected you to have had an intermediate life, and that I wouldn't have followed you into your second life."
"Hmph, in my second life, I had loving parents and grandparents. I didn't need you."
Li Zhengguo immediately kissed her. How could she not need him? He wouldn't allow it.
Remembering that the person in his arms had just woken up, Li Zhengguo dared not kiss her deeply or for too long.
"Sweetie, your second life was heaven's compensation for you. Returning to the first life must be heaven's compensation for me. See, heaven favors us so much. We are a match made in heaven."
"Yes, yes, you're right." Tian Jing didn't argue with her husband.
Li Zhengguo lowered his head and kissed her again before letting go. "I'll go get you some porridge."
"The baby?"
"My mother is with her. She's asleep."
"Boy or girl?"
"A boy. Sweetie, we're not having any more. It's my fault for being so selfish. Dr. Yang said your body hasn't fully developed yet, and you got pregnant too early."
"We'll discuss it later. Hurry up and get me some porridge, I'm hungry."
"Okay. Wait obediently."
