Rebirth: I Want to Be a Hot Heroine

The next day, the weather was not very good, Duan Yunchong flew to China early in the morning, Qin Guanjiu and Shen Jiangshi went to Jun Jiu for a meeting at 7:30.

Qi Xingyan and Bai Ran were sleeping upstairs.

Lin Tong was also still sleeping in a daze. She felt sleepy after taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

She didn't even notice when Qin Guanjiu left.

It was already past ten o'clock when Lin Tong woke up sleepily. She reached for her cell phone and took a look at it.

A strange text message popped up.

Lin Tong clicked in to take a look.

"Jiaojiao, thank you for not blaming me for what I did to you. You have found your own happiness now. I am happy for you and wish you the best. If possible, I would like to talk to you and wait for you at Cafe No. 2 in Upper City. Whether you come or not, I will wait for you. I also want to make a break with the past."

It was a very long text message. Lin Tong felt complicated after reading it.

She didn't know whether she should go or not, nor did she know whether Tao Ruiyi just wanted to chat with her.

Lin Tong thought for a while, took a screenshot of the text message and sent it to Qin Guanjiu.

"After much thought, I decided to go meet him. I will bring a few bodyguards with me, so don't worry."

After she finished sending the message, she got up, packed up for a while and prepared to go out.

He called a few men in black to follow to avoid any unnecessary accidents.

When she arrived, Tao Ruiyi was already sitting there. He didn't have the whole place reserved, so the cafe was very crowded.

Lin Tong also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Tao Ruiyi really just wanted to chat with her.

Walk into the coffee shop with light steps.

Tao Ruiyi was wearing a light-colored casual shirt with his jacket draped over the back of a chair.

He still looks so handsome, and the teardrop mole on his left eye adds a hint of melancholy to his overall temperament.

He looked down at the newspaper casually placed on the table.

Lin Tong approached him quietly and tapped the table with his knuckles.

Tao Ruiyi then raised his head and looked at her in surprise, the sadness in his eyes instantly turned into joy, "I thought you wouldn't come."

Lin Tong pursed her lips and said nothing. She sat down and took off her exquisitely crafted knitted jacket, revealing the light-colored undershirt underneath.

She wore no makeup and her hair fell loosely on her shoulders.

"Does Qin Guanjiu know you are coming?" he asked.

Lin Tong nodded.

Tao Ruiyi smiled bitterly, "I knew you would tell him, but it doesn't matter."

"I just want to talk to you. I guess you will be returning home soon, and I will stay here. I am afraid we will never have the chance to meet again."

Tao Ruiyi added, his eyes raised slightly in an arc, and the teardrop mole under his eyes also moved upwards with the movement.

Lin Tong looked at him, not knowing what to say. Her feelings for Tao Ruiyi were too complicated.

Thank you? Definitely.

If you want to talk about blaming her for something wrong, there is a little bit of it. He faked her death and brought her to Canada, and then he hypnotized and brainwashed her at all costs.

"I'm sorry." Tao Ruiyi's cold voice suddenly became low. He held the cup with both hands and lowered his eyes.

"I shouldn't have faked your death, nor should I have hypnotized you by injecting faith. You can blame me and beat me, but I don't want you to hate me. You saved my life, and you gave me hope. I hurt you, and that's an indisputable fact, Jiaojiao..."

"Don't call me Jiaojiao, just call me Lin Tong." Lin Tong said in a complicated tone.

Tao Ruiyi chuckled and forced a smile, "Okay, Lin Tong."

"You saved me before, so we have exchanged lives for each other's. Don't dwell on the past anymore. We have to move on, right?"

Lin Tong said softly.

Tao Ruiyi's kindness in saving her could not be repaid, and in fact could not be offset.

Saying this would just make them both feel better.

"Yes, Jiao...Lin Tong, you are becoming stronger and stronger." He stared at her dark eyes, his curled eyelashes trembling slightly, like light wings fluttering.

Tao Ruiyi tightened his grip on the cup.

"I'm not the only one who's become stronger, you too."

"Really?" Tao Ruiyi asked back, "I changed because of you, and you changed because of whom? Qin Guanjiu?"

A hint of anger gradually grew in his eyes, but he then concealed it well.

Lin Tong shook his head. "He was just one of the reasons, not all of them. During those years when Tao Shiyu bullied me, I was too cowardly. I thought about ending it all, but then I realized that there is no need to give in and be weak all the time, and there is no reason to bully others. I am just an ordinary person who wants to live a more comfortable life. I have the right to resist. I woke up more because of myself."

"I couldn't understand Tao Shiyu's hatred for me before, but now I understand it. I have also repaid it. People's cognitive abilities are limited in each period of time. I made what I thought was the right decision at the time, and so did you. So I won't feel remorse or guilt about it anymore, and I don't blame you either."

"But we all have to slowly wake up and change. The reason why I am becoming stronger and stronger is because I have the ability and ambition. I am no longer the original Lin Tong."

As she spoke, a faint smile appeared on her lips, as if she had let go of the past.

After Lin Tong was reborn, he realized that he was a selfish person. He considered his own feelings first and then others.

Her idea was simple: if she couldn't even handle her own emotions, how could she care about others? Especially since Tao Shiyu had dealt her a heavy psychological blow, it taught her a lesson.

If not the people around her, then others can be her second or third choice.

What she said was from the heart. Qin Guanjiu was indeed not the sole reason for her change, but he would be the reason for her to continue to become stronger.

Tao Ruiyi nodded in understanding, saying in a neutral tone, "That's great."

Lin Tong picked up the delicate spoon in the coffee cup and stirred it, his eyes darkening, "Maybe you think I'm selfish, but I'm sorry, I can't accept your feelings."

She paused for a moment, and her words hit Tao Ruiyi straight in the heart. She said, "I am not exaggerating when I tell you that he is my second life."

Her heart had long been given to Qin Guanjiu, and she could never fall in love with anyone else. At that time, Lin Tong thought that if Qin Guanjiu really had a lover, she would not disturb him, and she would watch him live a happy life.

Tao Ruiyi chuckled. He didn't expect Lin Tong to say this. The sharp blade stabbed into his heart, bringing out a bloody patch.

He was in excruciating pain, but he couldn't even cry out a word of pain.

Even though she was so heartless, he still loved her. Seeing her sitting across from him alive, the love in his heart surged wildly.

The little Lin Tong appeared in her mind, and she looked at him worriedly, "Brother Rui, go quickly!"

She could do so much to help him escape, how could she not have feelings for him?

How can you just forget it?

She chose to save him without hesitation, and he was willing to become her executioner without hesitation.

They are so well matched...

Tao Ruiyi was speechless. The coffee in front of him was cloudy. He took a sip and found that it had no taste at all.

He put down the cup, raised his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were clear, "I'm going to the bathroom."
