In the hospital corridor, the smell of disinfectant permeated every corner. Anna, Huo Yan and I sat side by side on the bench, waiting for news about my mother's surgery. We had just gone through a tense surgery, and our moods were still immersed in that kind of worry and anxiety, but at this time, a more subtle atmosphere quietly spread between us.

I turned my head slightly and looked at Huo Yan, with a hint of hesitation and inquiry in my eyes. "Huo Yan, do you think everything will go smoothly for Mom's surgery this time?" I asked softly, trying to break the somewhat oppressive silence, and at the same time trying to catch some different emotions from his answer.

Huo Yan raised his head and met my gaze. A hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. "It will definitely go well. The doctors are very professional. We have to trust them." His answer was very ordinary, but it made me feel like he was deliberately avoiding some deeper topic.

I frowned slightly, and my doubts in my heart became even stronger. "I hope so, but I don't know why, I always feel like everything today seems to have happened somewhere before. It's a very strange feeling. Have you ever had it before?" I said carefully, staring at his face tightly, not missing any change in his expression.

Huo Yan's body stiffened slightly, but he soon relaxed. He smiled and said, "Anna, you may be too nervous. Surgery is something that makes people nervous, and it is normal to have some strange feelings. Don't think too much. We will all be relieved when mom gets better." His tone was relaxed, as if he was trying to convince me and himself.

I looked at him, feeling a little disappointed. I could sense that he wasn't telling me the truth. He must have had that strange feeling, but why didn't he want to admit it? "Maybe you're right. Maybe I was just too nervous." I lowered my head and said softly, not wanting him to see the doubt in my heart.

Silence enveloped us again. The occasional footsteps and the nurses' whispers in the corridor made the atmosphere between us even more awkward. I secretly observed Huo Yan from the corner of my eye. He was looking forward with a blank look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Huo Yan, do you still remember what happened when we were little?" I asked suddenly, trying to change the subject and break the deadlock. At the same time, I also wanted to find some clues from his memories of the past to see if he really had the same secret as me.

Huo Yan came back to his senses, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "Of course I remember, we played together and went to school together when we were kids, those days were really wonderful. Why do you suddenly think of asking this?" He looked at me with a hint of confusion on his face.

I smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just feel that time has passed so quickly. We have all grown up. Now that mom is sick again, it makes me feel as if a lot of things have changed in an instant." There was a hint of emotion and a hint of temptation in my words.

Huo Yan nodded. “Yes, time flies. But no matter what changes happen, we have to face them together, right?” There was a firmness in his eyes that moved my heart.

"Well, let's face it together." I said softly, but in my heart I was wondering, when he said face it together, did it also include the secret of our rebirth? If he was really reborn, why didn't he want to tell me the truth?

At this moment, the door of the operating room suddenly opened and the doctor came out. We immediately stood up and looked at the doctor nervously. "Doctor, how is my mother?" I asked anxiously.

The doctor smiled and said, "The operation was successful. The patient is out of danger. He needs to be sent to the ward for observation for a period of time."

Hearing this news, Huo Yan and I both breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in our hearts finally fell to the ground. "That's great, Mom is fine." I said excitedly, with tears of joy in my eyes.

Huo Yan also showed a relieved smile, "Yes, that's great. Thank you, doctor." He said to the doctor, his tone full of gratitude.

Accompanied by the nurses, we followed my mother's bed to the ward. Seeing my mother lying quietly on the bed, her face was still a little pale, but her breathing was stable, my heart was filled with gratitude and relief.

"Anna, stay here with your mother. I'll go buy you something to eat. You've been tired all day." Huo Yan said to me softly.

I nodded, "Okay, then come back soon."

Huo Yan left the ward. I sat by my mother's bed, looking at her face, with a lot of thoughts in my mind. Rebirth was too incredible for me, and Huo Yan's attitude confused me. I decided to wait for him to come back and have a good talk with him. Regardless of whether he was really reborn or not, I hope we can be honest with each other and face the future together.

After a while, Huo Yan came back with some food and drinks in his hands. "Anna, eat something, you must be hungry." He put the food on the table and said to me.

I looked at him, "Huo Yan, can we talk about the topic just now again? I always feel like you are hiding something from me." I said directly, not wanting to beat around the bush.

Huo Yan's eyes flickered a little, and he avoided my gaze. "Anna, don't let your imagination run wild. What could I possibly hide from you? You're just too tired and need a good rest."

I looked at him, feeling a little angry. "Huo Yan, why don't you want to tell me the truth? We grew up together and have been through everything together. Don't you believe me now?" My voice got a little louder and I became a little excited.

Huo Yan looked at me with a trace of helplessness on his face. "Anna, it's not that I don't believe you, but there are some things I don't know how to say. I also have some strange feelings, but I'm not sure if it's true, and I'm afraid that telling you will worry."

After listening to his words, I calmed down a little. "Huo Yan, no matter what happens, we can face it together. Tell me, what does it feel like?" I walked to his side, looked into his eyes, and said seriously.

Huo Yan took a deep breath and then said slowly: "Anna, sometimes I feel like we are repeating something, just like mom's surgery today. I always feel like I have experienced it once before. But I also think it may be my illusion, so I have never dared to say it out loud."

I was excited when I heard what he said. He really felt the same way! "Huo Yan, I feel the same way! I thought I was the only one who felt the same way. What do you think is going on?" I grabbed his arm and asked anxiously.

Huo Yan shook his head. "I don't know either. Maybe we are too worried about our mother, so we have hallucinations. Or maybe we are too impressed by some things in the past, so we have this feeling of déjà vu." There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone, and it was obvious that he was also confused by this strange phenomenon.

I looked at him, feeling a little disappointed. I knew he was still not telling the truth. He must know something but just didn't want to tell me. "Well, maybe you're right. We may really be too tired." I let go of his arm and went back to sit down beside my mother's bed.

Huo Yan looked at me, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, "Anna, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide anything from you. It's just that this matter is too strange, I need time to think it through. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

I nodded, "Yeah, I know. Let's take care of mom first, and we can talk about other things later."

Although we put this topic aside for the time being, my doubts grew deeper and deeper. I knew Huo Yan must be hiding something from me, and this secret could change our lives. I decided to pay more attention to his every move in the future to see if I could find some clues to uncover this mystery.
