Rebirth: Illuminating a Brilliant Life

Chapter 147 Turbulent Waters of Love: Su Xuan's Norwegian Love Song and Past Entanglement

After Su Xuan emerged from that failed marriage, her life seemed to be on a loop; everything remained the same, and those habits clung to her as if cursed.

Cheng Ran, like a moth drawn to a flame, relentlessly pursued Su Xuan with burning love, his attentiveness almost melting anyone's heart.

But Su Xuan's heart was like it was encased in a thick layer of ice, completely ignoring Cheng Ran's attempts to be friendly. Even when Cheng Ran offered his heart to her, she wouldn't even lift an eyelid, remaining as cold as an iceberg, resolutely shutting out Cheng Ran's passionate feelings.

It was as if love and romance in the world had nothing to do with her. She stubbornly guarded her loneliness and pride in her own world, causing Cheng Ran's enthusiasm to be repeatedly thwarted. She struggled bitterly in this pursuit of unrequited love.

What a coincidence! Su Xuan's younger sister, Su Han, yearns for the mysterious academic world of Norway, hoping to travel across the ocean to study and embark on her own brilliant life chapter.

But her heart was in turmoil, like fifteen buckets of water being drawn up and down. She was completely clueless about life in Norway, and the safety concerns kept her tossing and turning, unable to sleep, as if the land ahead was a chaotic place of uncertain fate.

After much deliberation, Su Han gritted her teeth and decided to first take a "survey" trip to Norway, just like a soldier about to go to the battlefield who needs to scout out the terrain first.

As for Su Xuan, it was as if she had been suddenly pushed by the hand of fate. The moment she heard her sister's decision, some inexplicable premonitions and images involuntarily surfaced in her mind, as if a voice was urging her incessantly.

As if guided by fate, she gripped her younger sister's hand tightly, her eyes revealing a resolute determination, and said firmly, "Hanhan, I'll go with you! No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, we sisters will face them together!"

The tone suggested they were embarking on a perilous adventure, not a simple trip abroad. No one knew what unexpected storms and turbulent waves this journey would bring to their fate...

By a twist of fate, the two sisters, each with their own complex emotions, embarked on this unknown journey to Norway with slightly heavy steps.

The plane sliced ​​through the sky, speeding towards that distant and unfamiliar country. Su Xuan sat by the window, her eyes seemingly calm as still water, like a deep pool, undisturbed. But her slightly trembling fingertips and the occasional furrowed brows subtly revealed the turmoil and struggle deep within her heart, like a surging sea.

The shadow of her past failed marriage, like an inescapable haze, always loomed over her heart, leaving her feeling lost and helpless about the future, as if she were in a thick fog, unable to discern the direction ahead.

This sudden, seemingly accidental trip is like a mysterious fork in the road of her life, deliberately set by the god of fate. It is full of unknowns and variables, and it subtly hints that something unexpected may happen. All of this makes her both look forward to it and afraid of it.

As the plane slowly landed on Norwegian soil, Su Han, like a vibrant and curious little bird, couldn't wait to plunge into exploring this unfamiliar land.

She tirelessly traveled between various schools, carefully examining every facility and the strengths and weaknesses of every major, leaving no detail overlooked that might influence her study abroad decision. At the same time, she immersed herself in the unique local customs and culture, wholeheartedly experiencing the distinctive charm of Norway. The exotic atmosphere permeating the streets and alleys excited her, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation for her future study abroad life.

Su Xuan, like a silent guardian shadow, quietly followed behind Su Han. Occasionally, a hint of envy would flash in her eyes, a longing for her younger sister's youthful vitality and limitless future, mixed with a touch of melancholy for her own lost years.

Their footprints covered every corner of Norway. Along the way, all sorts of people came and went like a revolving lantern. What unexpected stories would these chance encounters bring to their journey and even their lives? Everything was just beginning, like a mysterious and wonderful drama slowly drawing its curtain...

One day, while visiting the Bergen fish market, Su Xuan was invited by a friendly Norwegian stall owner to try the local specialty seafood soup. The stall owner, Hans, was tall, handsome, and witty. He communicated with the sisters in broken but earnest Chinese, telling them about the origins of the seafood and the deep affection Norwegians have for the sea. Su Xuan was touched by Hans's enthusiasm, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

During a conversation with a local international student, Su Han learned about an upcoming Sino-Norwegian cultural exchange festival and excitedly dragged Su Xuan along to attend. At the festival, Su Xuan became very interested in the traditional Chinese paper-cutting art on display and stopped to watch.

At this moment, Eric, a Norwegian man who was also attracted by paper-cutting, came over. He asked Su Xuan about the cultural connotations of paper-cutting in fluent English. Su Xuan responded nervously in broken English, but Eric's warm and friendly eyes gradually put her at ease. The two chatted happily and even exchanged contact information.

As their time in Norway lengthened, Su Xuan and Eric's interactions became increasingly frequent. Eric would take her to explore hidden gems deep within Norway, from tranquil fjords to ancient forest trails, each place bearing witness to their footsteps and laughter. During one stroll along the beach, Eric gently took Su Xuan's hand, and her heart skipped a beat; the icy barrier encasing her inner self seemed to begin to crack.

Meanwhile, Su Han also encountered her own troubles during her school visits. The competition for her desired major was extremely fierce, and the high admission requirements made her hesitate.

But Su Han had an indomitable spirit, so she began to study Norwegian day and night and prepare materials for the entrance exam, often so busy that she didn't even have time to eat.

Su Xuan saw this and felt heartbroken. She temporarily put aside her budding feelings and fully supported her sister, accompanying her to the library and cooking nutritious meals for her. The two sisters supported each other in a foreign land, and their bond grew stronger.

However, the peaceful days didn't last long. Cheng Ran somehow learned about Su Xuan's new life in Norway, especially her frequent contact with Eric.

Consumed by jealousy, Cheng Ran recklessly flew to Norway. When he appeared before Su Xuan, his eyes were filled with anger and resentment. "Su Xuan, how could you let me go so easily? I've done so much for you!"

Cheng Ran questioned loudly, completely ignoring the strange looks from those around him. Su Xuan was taken aback by this sudden situation. Looking at the man she once knew, she felt a mix of emotions.

Eric noticed Su Xuan's unusual behavior. He stood in front of Su Xuan and said to Cheng Ran in broken Chinese, "She has her own life now, and you shouldn't bother her."

Cheng Ran was enraged by Eric's actions, and the atmosphere between the two became tense. A conflict arising from love seemed about to erupt, and Su Xuan was caught in the middle, in a dilemma, not knowing how to quell the storm, and at the same time becoming more confused about the future of her relationship...
