The love I had for Zhao Yanyan was mixed with the memories and feelings form my previous life, but what about for Zhao Yanyan? We’ve only known each other for four months, her love for me could be said to surpass everything, I aim her only one in her heart. I don’t understand why Zhao Yanyan would be so dead set on loving me, supporting me, treating my pride as hers, and definitely supporting what I think is right. This was like an entirely different person compared to the Zhao Yanyan who was cold to any man in my previous life.

It was because of Zhao Yanyan’s coldness towards man, that I took my time, waited without fear, and still didn’t make up my mind to confess. Until she was about to get married with Xu Qingwei, I was unable to see any hints. If she had Zhao Yanyan’s current personality, then she should have stuck to Xu Qingwei everyday! I don’t understand if Zhao Yanyan changed, or if the Zhao Yanyan in my previous life and this life were two different people.

“Why are you so good to me…” I whispered lightly while embracing Zhao Yanyan.

“Your question is pointless, towards your loved one, do you really need a reason?” Zhao Yanyan giggled after hearing it.

“I’m being serious with you, don’t laugh,” I said seriously.

“Okay, serious then serious! Let me tell you, I think I already liked you in my previous life,” Zhao Yanyan said seriously.

“Previous life?” I repeated weirdly.

“En. Do you remember the dream I told you just now at your home? I had that dream when I was sleeping again,” Zhao Yanyan said.

“What did you dream of?” I asked urgently, was the original history really going to continue in Zhao Yanyan’s dreams?

“I dreamt that we both got into Huaxia University, but we didn’t seem to be in the relationship we are in now, I loved you a lot in my dreams, I felt that you also seemed to like me yet that might be a mistake, basically the feelings between us two were weird! Then you woke me up!” Zhao Yanyan would always twitch her eyebrows whenever she talked about the dream.

The speaker has no particular intention in his words, but the listener reads his own meaning into it! My body shuddered! This wasn’t a dream at all, but truth that has happened! Furthermore if it really was as Zhao Yanyan said, could it be that Zhao Yanyan always loved me in my previous life? Then why would she marry Xu Qingwei? A bunch of questions popped into my mind.

“Liu Lei, what is it?” Zhao Yanyan asked me caringly after seeing my seemingly painful expression.

“Nothing much, I just thought of something,” I answered perfunctorily. My mind was in a mess, and could not calm down to think about any questions. Thinking back to the bits and pieces between Zhao Yanyan and I in my previous life, the depression, and pain Zhao Yanyan showed right before I died, perhaps she truly loved me?

I was silent the entire way. Zhao Yanyan didn’t disturb me either, and only until we nearly reached the entrance of Zhao Limin’s mansion did she say to me, “Don’t think too much about it, I just won’t talk about that dream anymore!” Then she flew into my embrace, her mouth kissed m on my cheek, and said, “I’m going back, Liu Lei, I love you!”

Yeah, why am I thinking about it so much? No matter what, I already possess Zhao Yanyan for real now, and obtained all of her love. No mater what the previous life was like, the Zhao Yanyan in this life will always be mine alone, this is already enough, what else was I dissatisfied with, unhappy with? It doesn’t matter if the Zhao Yanyan in front of my eyes is the Zhao Yanyan from my previous life, my love for her was definitely real, I had turned all of those thoughts from my previous life into my love for her. The Zhao Yanyan right now is the one I love most in this life. My mood brightened up in an instant.

I reached my hand and pulled Zhao Yanyan, who was about to leave, and hugged her tightly, then whispered softly beside her ear, “Yanyan, you are the one I love most in this life.”

Zhao Yanyan replied passionately after hearing that, and stuck her body onto me, and kept on nodding.

Time slipped by us, even in the cold wins, we could still feel each other’s body heat.

“Kiss me…” Zhao Yanyan closed her eyes, and whispered softly beside my ear.

I kissed her passionately without any hesitation. Our movements were already going crazy, this was the first time Zhao Yanyan and I kissed so fiercely, th desires in our heart exploded in that moment.

In the ice cold surroundings, Zhao Yanyan and I were still covered in sweat…

“Di—— Di——“ Suddenly a car horn rang beside us.

The focused Zhao Yanyan and I jumped, and our bodies subconsciously separated.

F̲u̲c̲k̲, who is this, a car makes you somebody? I’ll buy a bulldozer, no an armored car, another day, and send you flying. Just as I raised my head in anger, I noticed the one who interrupted us was Zhao Junsheng’s Honqi car.

“Hai…! Hai…! I won’t mind you youngsters’ business, but you can’t do it on the streets, and treat it as if no one’s around?” Zhao Junsheng rolled down the windows, and stuck his head out.

“Dad~!” Zhao Yanyan said embarrassedly as she stomped the ground.

We walked to the side of the car, Zhao Junsheng opened the door and said, “Get in the car.”

Zhao Yanyan and I sat on the back row, when I got on the car, I used an extremely tiny voice and said to Zhao Junsheng, “You are to ruin the board director’s good thing, be careful of me firing you.”

Zhao Junsheng didn’t take heed to it, laughed a bit and replied, “If you fire me, I’ll get my daughter to deal with you.”

I wanted to say something more, but Zhao Yanyan already got on, so I could only close my mouth. Currently, Zhao Yanyan didn’t know my real identity, she only know I made an input method and cooperated with Zhao Junsheng’s company, as for the newly established Shuguang Corporation, Zhao Yanyan thought that Zhao Junsheng had done it all by himself. She didn’t even know that she had 10% of the company’s shares.

“It’s the winter, and look at you two, covered in sweat! Quickly wipe yourselves!” Saying that, Zhao Junsheng handed two paper towels to us.

Zhao Yanyan and I rubbed off the sweat on our heads in embarrassment, Zhao Yanyan also shyly dipped her head down, and seemed to want to stick her head into the down jacket.

“Have a seat with us okay? Don’t catch a cold!” Zhao Junsheng saw that I was really hot, and so he said to me caringly.

“Okay, I’ll also go and see Grandpa Zhao,” I said. I would definitely catch a cold if I returned like this, it was better to rest a bit.

“Hehe, your Grandpa Zhao told me he misses you a lot, and since you came by yourself, just the chance to eat together!” Zhao Junsheng said with a smile.

This was a good idea, I became the guest here, since I didn’t get to eat till I’m full at noon, I stuff myself full tonight.

1. N/a

I put on my clothes to send Zhao Yanyan home after eating, under my mom’s fierce demand. It was winter, and was the New Year, there weren’t much people on the streets, a girl alone was not very safe.

My dad was also on the side, smiling craftily, clearly it was to create an opportunity for me. Towards parents like these, I was already speechless. Good grades were really more important than anything, I’ve never seen them so cheerful in my previous life.

To be honest, even if my parents didn’t say anything, I would definitely send Zhao Yanyan back, this is my own wife, who’s going to care about her if I don’t?

When we just walked out of the compound, Zhao Yanyan placed her hand on my arm, and leaned in towards me.

“Heh, you’ve done my mom in!” I said in a displeased tone, I currently felt that my mom wasn’t my mom, but Zhao Yanyan’s mom. Just take the meal for example, not only did I barely ate anything, I had to pretend to be really full.

“Ai, you’re so stingy! Getting angry with me just because of this!” Zhao Yanyan pouted and said in a tone like she was wronged. “Aren’t I just trying to establish a good relationship with your mom so I can successfully become your legal wife in the future! What’s more, isn’t my dad done in by you? Look at how happy my he gets every time you go over!”

I sweat! So she still remembers about the legal wife thing, this chick is pretty smart, she knows that she has to pass by my mom if she wants to be my legal wife, as long as my mom agreed, then no other woman can take her place.

“What did you say with my mom?” I held Zhao Yanyan’s hand and asked.

“Nothing much really, I just told her how we got to know each other,” Zhao Yanyan said with a smile.

“My mom doesn’t know we’re already together right?” I was scared that Zhao Yanyan accidentally said something about how I already ate her, then problems will arise.

“Who got together with you?” Zhao Yanyan asked.

“We didn’t get together? Who was it just now that wanted to be my legal wife?” I pinched Zhao Yanyan’s bright red cheeks and asked.

“Don’t flatter yourself, your mom was just selling you to me, and kept on talking about your virtues! Haha~ Liu Lei, we’ve been together for so long, why don’t I know you have this many merits?” Zhao Yanyan rocked with laughter.

“What did my mom say to you?” I couldn’t help but asked.

“I’m not telling you, haha, this is way too funny! Why couldn’t I see a single virtue that your mom said about you?” Zhao Yanyan laughed so much that she almost suffocated.

“Heh! Laugh, laugh some more! You’re not telling are you!?” I put my hands into the shape of a claw and started tickling Zhao Yanyan under her arms.

“Aiya~! Stop it, haha, quickly stop it, I’ll say it okay, haha!” Zhao Yanyan immediately surrendered after I started tickling her.
“What did she say?” I retracted my hands and said.

“Your mom said you’re honest, and didn’t like to talk. Although you’re a coward, you’re reliable! Haha! I forcefully withheld my laughter! You’re honest? Don’t like to talk? You’re cowardly? Hahaha! Liu Lei, how do you act at home? Why did you leave such an impression for your mom!” Zhao Yanyan laughed.

So it’s this! If I hadn’t been reborn, what my mom said was indeed the truth, but why did I feel like these aren’t any virtues? They are obviously faults! I really don’t know if my mom’s helping, or ruining things. Thank god Zhao Yanyan is already mine, and what she said was only more laughing material.

“What else did my mom say?” I felt like that spoke for a long time, and not just these things.

“Your mom also asked me if I had in-laws etc., haha!” Zhao Yanyan said.

“Then what did you say?” I quickly asked.

“What else can I say? I just answered honestly,” Zhao Yanyan said mysteriously.

“My young mistress, can’t you just say everything at once! What do you mean answered honestly?” I really couldn’t help it, why did girls pause so much when talking.

“Answered honestly means no, I’m not like Xia Jing, who’s already decided by both your mom and the Lei family as their daughter-in-law,” Zhao Yanyan glanced at me sourly.

Why was Xia Jing brought up again? Ai! I wonder how this chick Xia Jing is doing, it has been a month since she was brought back to Yanjing. There wasn’t any news in the meantime, she didn’t even call once, and then there’s that annoying Lei Xiaolong, he pisses me off just when I think of him! F̲u̲c̲k̲, I’ll speak to old bro Yama one day if I get desperate, and get him to send to xiaogui to end that Lei’s life earlier.

I was originally in a joyful mood, when I thought of Xia Jing, it turned sullen. Although I hadn’t been with the little beauty for long, only three days, but her figure couldn’t be erased from my memories, whenever it is in the middle of the night, I would think of this little beauty that stayed on the same bed as me for three days, and about the ambiguous rubbing between us.

“What is it, hubby?” Zhao Yanyan also noticed my silence, and asked anxiously.

“Nothing really, I just thought of some unhappy things,” I said. Just let nature take it’s course when it comes to Xia Jing.

“Do you miss Xia Jing?” Zhao Yanyan asked carefully.

“En,” I nodded and didn’t deny it.

“Don’t worry, Liu Lei. I have a feeling, Xia Jing will definitely return to your side!” Xia Jing embraced softly and said.

I caressed Zhao Yanyan’s face that was frozen red, and kissed that little mouth.

“En… Meanie… This is on the streets!” Zhao Yanyan resisted a little and said unclearly.

I tightly embraced Zhao Yanyan, our tongues entwined together.

“Yanyan, thank you,” I said softly.

“Hehe, idiot! What are you thanking me for,” Zhao Yanyan said lovingly.

“I’m thinking about other women, yet you’re not angry and is counseling me instead,” I caressed Zhao Yanyan’s hair and said thankfully.

“Don’t be a fool, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t jealous. Which woman wouldn’t want their lover to be devoted to one? You’re so excellent, it’s hard to prevent others from seducing you! But we’ll make it clear now, you can only have one Xia Jing apart from me!” Zhao Yanyan said calmly to me.

“Then what about Ye Xiaoxiao?” I looked at Zhao Yanyan with a smiling yet not smiling expression.

“Ye Xiaoxiao?” Zhao Yanyan momentarily blanked after hearing this name, and then said angrily, “Wow, you really have a relationship with Ye Xiaoxiao! I’m not going to care about you anymore.” However she still fell into my embrace.

“I’m sorry, Yanyan! I’m really sorry!” I didn’t know what to say. “This mouth… Ai, why did I mention her now!”

“Don’t say anymore, I’ll support you. Who made it so that I like you so much,” Zhao Yanyan laid in my embrace, feeling my heartbeat and said softly.

1. N/a

“Mom, you guys are back!” I fixed the collar of my shirt at the last minute, and opened the door.

“Why are you so slow! Didn’t I already tell you to wait for us by the door!” My mom asked me weirdly after seeing me pant.

“This… there’s a guest over,” I said awkwardly.

At that moment, Zhao Yanyan also walked out of my with herself properly dressed, she said quietly when she saw my mom, “Hello Auntie!”

“Aiya! Leilei why didn’t you say that we have a guest earlier, do didn’t eat lunch yet right? Old Liu, wash the fish quickly, and hurry on making food!” My mom ordered, causing my dad to get through into the kitchen without even having time to change.

“Auntie, don’t get so busy, I’m alright,” seeing that my mom started to make lunch right after she got back, Zhao Yanyan immediately tried to stop her.

“It’s alright, even if you didn’t come we still have eat, let Leilei’s dad get busy, we’ll chat,” my mom said affectionately

I was going to faint, what’s wrong with my mom, she’s getting even more enthusiastic than me after seeing a beauty, last time was Xia Jing, this time was Zhao Yanyan.

“Guinv, sit, don’t stand there! Leilei, quickly pour some water for your classmate, aren’t there drinks on the balcony, take it all here!” My mom roared at me.

“Auntie, it really is fine, I don’t need to drink water,” Zhao Yanyan immediately shook her hands.

“It’s alright, let Liu Lei busy himself,” my mom didn’t know that Zhao Yanyan’s heart would hurt even more with her working me so hard.

As expected, Zhao Yanyan gave a sorrowful look at me, I returned an “it doesn’t matter” smile to her. When I brought the drinks there, I heard my mom chatting with Zhao Yanyan, “Guinv, what’s your name?”

“Auntie, I’m called Zhao Yanyan,” Zhao Yanyan also relaxed quite a bit, and didn’t have that restraint that she had before.

“Zhao Yanyan, this name is good. Are you in the same class as Leilei?” My mom asked while smiling.

“Yes, the two of us are desk mates,” Zhao Yanyan answered.

“Oh, so you’re desk mates! Desk mates are good, you can help each other in academics!” My mom took over the drink in my hand and passed it to Zhao Yanyan.

“Auntie, how does Liu Lei need help with his academics!” Zhao Yanyan started to make me look good again.

“Then let Leilei help you,” my mom was also really happy to hear Zhao Yanyan praise me.

“Mom, just say a few less words, Zhao Yanyan is second in the year, she doesn’t need my help,” I also opened a bottle of drink, to be honest, I really a bit thirsty. The XXOO in the entire morning was physical exercise.

“Ahh, that’s even better! One of you is first, the other is second, you have to communicate more in the future!” My mom already started holding hands with Zhao Yanyan in this short period of time.

“Leilei, go and help your dad out in the kitchen, don’t just stand here,” my mom found something for me to do when she saw me standing there idly.

I gave Zhao Yanyan a look to signal her not to say too much. Zhao Yanyan immediately returned a “don’t worry” expression to me.

“Dad, you don’t need to make so many dishes, enough is fine,” I said to my dad, who was dealing with the fish.

“How can that be, we have to make it look better with a guest at home!” My dad placed down the cleaned fish, and started to heat the wok.

“Oh yeah, Liu Lei. Tell dad, what’s with that girl?” My dad finally had some time, and started to interrogate me.

“What do you mean what’s with her? She’s my deskmate!” I started to act dumb.

“Deskmate? If she’s a deskmate you would let her visit? You better be honest with me, do you like her?” I didn’t think my dad wouldn’t cut any corners and went straight to the topic, causing me to be unsure of how to reply.

“I——I——“ I really didn’t know what to say.

“Leilei, there’s no outsiders in the kitchen. Just the two of us man here, Dad is going to warn you right now, if you like her then tell her earlier, don’t drag it on. I can tell that girl is quite pretty, there must be no shortage of people that fancy her right? Children your age getting into a relationship isn’t anything special, your mom and I were also around your age when we met back in the day, your old man, I, will tell you one thing that, and that’s he who strikes first prevails, if it wasn’t I who confessed to your mom first, then you might not exist!” My dad said exultantly.

I was completely shocked after hearing that, is this still my dad? Why is he completely different from the serious and solemn father he usually was?

“Hai—— Hai——! Don’t space out, hurry up and help me wash the vegetables. Don’t tell what I told you to your mom, it’s our Liu family’s ancestral esoterica!” My dad coughed a few times and said to me.

Ancestral esoterica? Why haven’t I heard about it before? If you guided me like this in my previous life, then I might have gotten Zhao Yanyan at the time.

“Okay now, son! This chick isn’t bad, there’s nothing wrong with her looks, don’t disappoint your old man!” My dad clapped my shoulders, causing all the fish scale to stick onto me.

“I ——“ I felt so awkward that I didn’t know how I was supposed to reply, was I supposed to say I already did it with Zhao Yanyan?

I helped out my dad familiarly, actually I know how to make all these dishes as well, since I didn’t lack any chance to make them in my previous life, but I can’t give away too much. Even so, my dad still praised me with a hint of confusion, saying that the vegetables are cut much tidier than before.

After the two of us got busy for a while, three dishes, a soup and a fish was very quickly placed on the dining table.

“Come over and eat!” My dad set the table, and said to my mom and Zhao Yanyan who were chatting happily in the living room.

My mom led Zhao Yanyan to the dining table with a smile, Zhao Yanyan’s expression was also full of smiles. What did they talk about? Looking at their intimate expression, my mom couldn’t have taken in another goddaughter right?

“Yanyan, you’re hungry right, eat first, there’s no need to care about anyone else! Treat this as your own home,” my mom handed Zhao Yanyan a pair of chopsticks.

En? This phrase seemed really familiar, I remember the last time I visited Zhao Yanyan’s home, Zhao Yanyan’s mother also said this to me.

Thinking to this point, I raised my head, and noticed that Zhao Yanyan was looking at me, we smiled at each other, most likely she also thought of this.

I felt really confused the entire lunch, my mom kept on getting food for Zhao Yanyan, every time I wanted to reach my chopsticks over, my mom would take away what I was going to get, I even started thinking if she really gave birth to me. My dad didn’t say much at the table, it was my mom talking most of the time, many times it was my mom that said something which caused Zhao Yanyan to laugh out loud after hearing it, while my dad and I remained confused, was this what they called women’s topics?

Furthermore, what made me extremely annoyed is that, my mom didn’t just complain once about how she really regretted giving birth to a boy, it would be great if she gave birth to a daughter, not only could they chat normally, they can also go shopping together. Zhao Yanyan immediately said that she would often come over to my home and talk with my mom after hearing that, making my mom really happy.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yanyan would laugh sneakily like a cat that successfully stole fish.

1. N/a

Unless, there really was some misunderstanding here?

The Zhao Yanyan in my previous life, was actually always interested in me, it’s just that I was too dense, and didn’t realize it?

Thinking about this possibility, I had a cold sweat.

Although there was no way of proving this guess, and I don’t know the truthfulness in it. Since that is something from the previous life, but once this thought has formed, it became something that I could not eras.

Now that I think more about it, Zhao Yanyan was a beauty among beauties, yet she could remain unmarried till she was thirty, that was a bit unusual.

Although there were many men that were often unmarried at the age of thirty something, since successful people often married late, but women that haven’t married at thirty something was rarer than rare.

You can’t say there aren’t any, but there definitely wasn’t a lot. Despite that, those women that didn’t marry would still have boyfriends! Women like Zhao Yanyan who haven’t even had a boyfriend at thirty something, either had mental issues, or it was due to some other reasons!

Thinking about those small moments in my previous life with Zhao Yanyan, although I didn’t say much to her during school, I always kept an admiring attitude and looked up towards Zhao Yanyan.

With an inferior mindset, I felt like I would not be worthy of Zhao Yanyan, no matter how hard I tried to catch up, I always felt that there was a distance between her and I, this type of distance, wasn’t something that simple hard work could make up.

Only until we started working, did I slowly began to take off, to the point that my position in the company gradually over took Zhao Yanyan, only then did I recover my confidence.

Yet on the day I was preparing to confess to Zhao Yanyan, I received news of Zhao Yanyan’s marriage!

This change that struck me as a heavy blow, caused my entire person to feel like it had fallen into an ice crevice, at that moment my brain was filled with deep regret and emptiness.

Yet I didn’t think anything about it, I was muddleheaded the entire time throughout the wedding to when I died from alcohol overdose, I didn’t think carefully about what was wrong about it.

Furthermore after my rebirth, I had intentionally avoided this period of history, and didn’t want to touch upon this depressing past, and didn’t think about any of the details.

However, since the topic has reached here today, I once again thought carefully about my previous life, and finally found something unusual!

Even if Zhao Yanyan and my assistant Xu Qingwei was getting married, why didn’t I hear anything about it before? Nor did I see any hints about it?

Zhao Yanyan was someone I quietly watched over, if she had a boyfriend, was it possible that I couldn’t have noticed any detail?

Furthermore, Xu Qingwei was my assistant, and someone by my side, if he and Zhao Yanyan had a lover’s relationship, who I have not noticed? Was I just a blind person in my previous life?

I shook my head silently, and rejected this notion from the bottom of my heart. Despite my lack of confidence in my previous life, I wasn’t an idiot, it was impossible for me to be incapable since I had reached the position of the regional company.

Then what was Xu Qingwei and Zhao Yanyan’s sudden engagement for?

This was something I couldn’t understand at all, but, in my heart, I thought of a possibility that made my heart jump! Perhaps, if it really was like Zhao Yanyan said, her in my previous life, was definitely interested in me, it’s just that she was a girl, and was too embarrassed to express it, and always waited for me to take the initiative, perhaps I… Chased after her in inferiority over and over again, without a single hint… This caused Zhao Yanyan to feel dispirited, perhaps she just casually chose a marriage partner.

Since she wasn’t young either, at thirty something, a woman was no longer young, she couldn’t delay any longer! Even if she wanted to delay, her family wouldn’t agree.

However, all of this, was just my guess, there was a bit of regret, but fortunately the heavens did favor me a lot, and allowed me to return back to 1994, my high school era, and allowed me to restart my life.

This life I will leave no regrets behind!

Yet, perhaps, this was just my imagination, just like what Zhao Yanyan had said, outside of this world, there was another similar parallel world, her and I were in it as well, so were other people.

It’s just that the story between them were different. Perhaps in the Zhao Yanyan and I in that world, were deeply attracted to each other, what Zhao Yanyan felt, was her thoughts from another world.

Of course, or maybe, Zhao Yanyan just muddled her dreams with reality, and throw her own thoughts into her dreams and affected it.

Thinking to this point, my heart finally calmed down… I was really worrying for nothing! Why did I think so much into it? It doesn’t matter about the previous life, this life is the most important.

In this confusion, with a bit of sleepiness, I also gradually fell asleep.

“Ding —— Ding —— Ding ——“ A clear telephone ringtone sounded out, and woke me up from my slumber.

Who’s calling me right at noon, I immediately ran over to the living room and picked up the phone.

“Hello, who are you looking for?” I said in a habit.

“Leilei, so you’re home! Your dad and I are going to be home really soon, open the door for us later, we’re carrying too much stuff in our hands!” My mom’s voice came out from the phone.

Why’s my mom back? Didn’t she and my dad go and visit my grandma? I remember in my previous life, the two of them stayed at my grandma’s home for three days, this was only the second day.

“Mom, why are you back so quick?” I immediately asked.

“Yeah, your dad said he’s afraid you’ll be bored at home, and there wouldn’t be anyone to cook for you, the two of us discussed it so we returned earlier. Your dad said you worked hard studying, so we just went to the farmer’s market at the market and bought you some fish, to make you something good to eat!” My mom said happily.

It can’t be? Was it because my academics improved in this life, so my parents are treating me better than before? But you don’t need to come back earlier right, isn’t this ruining things for me?

My mom saw that I didn’t reply and immediately asked, “What, Leilei, you don’t want your dad and I to be back earlier?”

“How could I, I do, I do! I’m just too happy, so I couldn’t react!” I immediately came back to my senses.

“Okay, then I’m hanging up! Although your dad’s phone bills can be claimed at the factory, we can’t waste it,” my mom said then hung up.

I hurriedly ran back to my bedroom, and woke Zhao Yanyan up at the as time as I got dressed. “Get dressed quickly!” I shouted.

“What is it? Is it dark outside?” Zhao Yanyan was woken so suddenly by me, and opened her sleepy eyes dumbly, and looked at me in confusion.

The Zhao Yanyan that just woke up, was indeed cute, but I didn’t have any time to observe in detail, and said to her in a hurry, “My mom is downstairs, she’ll come up soon!”

“What?! Your mom is back?” Zhao Yanyan suddenly jumped up from the bed, and rushed around to find her clothes, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? Aiya… What are we going to do?”

“I only just received the call!” I smiled wryly, “What else can we do, clean up hurriedly and then welcome them!”

At that moment, both of us were in an extreme hurry, we swiftly cleaned up the bedroom, the simply cleaned up the living room, until there were no suspicious traces did we let out a sigh of relief.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Zhao Yanyan and I looked at each other, it was lucky that we just finished cleaning up, or else we’ll be in deep trouble.

I got Zhao Yanyan to pretend to be coming over to visit, and sent her to my room, then I stood up to open the door.

1. N/a

“Miss, it’ll be a hundred and thirty two kuai,” the cashier lady repeated again.

“What’s with you?” I asked Chen Weier weirdly.

“I… didn’t bring enough money,” Chen Weier muttered quietly.

Hehe, so she didn’t bring enough money! I was wonder why this chick had this expression, so she wants to borrow money from me, but was too embarrassed to ask.

I took out two hundred kuai from my pocket and handed it to the cashier lady.

“Thank you, I’ll definitely pay you back next time,” Chen Weier thanked me after picking up the books.

“No problem,” I smiled, what’s two hundred kuai, I’ve given you two hundred something thousand already.

“Then… I’m going back,” Chen Weier said to me after we went out of the book store.
“I’ll take you,” I said.

“It’s fine, I can get back myself,” Chen Weier shook her hands and refused.

“Okay then, take care,” I didn’t force it, and just reminded Chen Weier.

“En, I got it,” Chen Weier nodded, and ran away with a red face.
I turned around, and just wanted to go back, then suddenly notice Guo Qing was looking at me not too far away with a smile.

“Boss, you’ve done school beauty Chen Weier?” Guo Qing noticed that I saw him and immediately rushed over.

“Why are your thoughts so lecherous, we’re just talking about studying!” I poked Guo Qing and said.

“That’s true, that’s true, the number one in first year and the number one in third year should obviously study together!” Guo Qing said.

“What? You said Chen Weier is first in third year?” I asked in surprise. This chick’s academic was actually unaffected by all the things she had to do for home.

“It can’t be, Boss! You don’t even know this! Chen Weier is the famous incarnation of beauty and intelligence!” Guo Qing didn’t believe that I didn’t even know this. However I truly didn’t know this, I always thought that girls like Zhao Yanyan, who were both beautiful and intelligent, were rarer than rare, I remember Zhao Yanyan was given such a title in my previous life, but due to an accident, which is me, she could only remain second.

In this period of time, every time I was with Zhao Yanyan, I would always feel unusually energized, without a hint of tiredness. I didn’t understand why this would occur, could it be due to me getting reborn? However old bro Yama didn’t tell me anything special about people that got reborn, and already told me clearly that I wouldn’t have superpowers.

“Liu Lei, aside from this world we live in, do you think there’ll be another world which is similar to ours?” Zhao Yanyan suddenly asked while she leaned on my shoulders.

“There probably is,” although I didn’t understand what she meant, but since people can get reborn, then it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if there’s another world.

“Then do you think that world will also have a Liu Lei and Zhao Yanyan?” Zhao Yanyan asked me while looking up at the ceiling.

“Another world? Another Liu Lei and Zhao Yanyan?” My heart leaped, and repeated these two phrases. This chick can’t have noticed that I have been reborn right?

“En. Do you remember that time in the hotel at Yanjing, when you told me that story?” Zhao Yanyan turned around, and leaned completely on me. This was a her favorite position when she was with me, just like a hug fried dumpling.

“I randomly made up that story!” I said.

“But I feel like that story is real!” Zhao Yanyan said affirmatively.
“Why do you say that?” I quickly asked.

“I’m not so sure, it’s just that I’ve kept on having this dream in this time period, I dreamt of another you and I, but the things that happened in the dreams have never happened yet feels oddly familiar,” Zhao Yanyan twitched her eyebrows and said to me.

“What did you dream of?” I could faintly feel that something wasn’t right.

“It’s not so clear, the Zhao Yanyan I dreamt of liked Liu Lei, but that Liu Lei wasn’t as much as sweetheart as you, he was essentially a block of wood. For example, you shook hands with me on the first day of school, but the Liu Lei in my dreams was very shy and didn’t reach out his hand in the end. Also…” Zhao Yanyan continuously gave me examples, and I was already shocked to the core.

Because I knew that what Zhao Yanyan said were not dreams at all! They were scenes that had occurred in my previous life!

There couldn’t be such a coincidence right! Could it be that due to my change, the things that should have happened now occurred in Zhao Yanyan’s dreams? But this doesn’t make sense, since history has changed, then those things were no longer history, why did they appear in Zhao Yanyan’s dream?

“Yanyan, can you tell me when you started having these dreams?” I stared into Zhao Yanyan’s eyes and asked seriously.

“What are you doing, your eyes are so scary!” Zhao Yanyan turned her face to the side, and didn’t look at me in the eye.

“Tell me quickly!” I said anxiously.

“I’ll tell you since you asked! It was ever since we came back from Yanjing, more correctly speaking it should have started during the few days in Yanjing… it seems to have-have started ever since you did that to me!” Zhao Yanyan said with a red face.

After her and I did that? Could I have just passed my memories of my previous life to her? That doesn’t make any logical sense, it seemed like I had a one-sided crush on her in my previous life, it wasn’t her who had a crush on me.

As expected, Zhao Yanyan also seemed to notice this issue, she thought about it for a moment, and said, “Liu Lei, do you remember the story you told m? The Liu Lei in it always loved Zhao Yanyan, and the Zhao Yanyan in my dreams always loved Liu Lei!”

“Okay, don’t think so much into it! I think it might be something you and I thought up, wasn’t there a saying that whom one thinks about during the day, is the one that dreams about come night!” I quickly tried to explain.

“Perhaps,” I could see that Zhao Yanyan didn’t really believe what I said.

Don’t talk about Zhao Yanyan, even I didn’t believe the explanations were necessary, but what could I do even if I didn’t believe it? I really didn’t know why something like this would happen to Zhao Yanyan, it was something I couldn’t explain, now that Zhao Yanyan asked me, would I be able to explain it?

Everything started becoming weird following my rebirth, although I was still the same me, Zhao Yanyan was still that Zhao Yanyan, but it was like we were in a parallel dimension.

Regardless of me, or Zhao Yanyan, our personalities changed. Perhaps Zhao Yanyan’s dream was the reason why she could fall in love with me so much.

If it wasn’t for this dream, with Zhao Yanyan’s personality, she couldn’t have fallen that easily.

However, what made me didn’t understand was that, I had been reborn, this was something I could be certain of. Yet Zhao Yanyan hasn’t been reborn, she was still a person from this era! Furthermore, the Zhao Yanyan in my previous life should have had no interest in me.

1. N/a

“Guozi-ge eating my candy is because you recognize me, how would I dare to take your money!” The candy seller stuttered.

“F̲u̲c̲k̲ your mom, what do you mean by not taking the money I’m giving you?” Guo Qing said darkly.

“Yes-yes, then I’ll just accept the money for the cost,” the candy seller freaked and immediately changed his mind.

“That’s more like it, or else people will say I, Guozi, ate and didn’t pay,” Guo Qing reached his hand into his pockets, rustled around in it for a long while, and finally took out a few coins, and threw it to the candy seller.

“Is it enough?” Guo Qing asked.

“Enough, enough, this is too much!” The candy seller didn’t dare to say not enough, who doesn’t know Guo Qing’s name around the market, there is a sentence going around the vendors, as great as the tax bureau and industrial and commercial bureau it doesn’t compare up to one of Guozi-ge’s sentence.

“Is that so? It’s too much,” Guo Qing casually took back two kuai, and said, “It’s fine now right.”

“Yes, yes!” The candy selling didn’t dare to say anymore in fear of Guo Qing troubling him even more.

“F̲u̲c̲k̲, he really is a evil merchant, those three pieces of candy tricked three kuai from me!” Guo Qing swore.

Hearing that, the candy selling on the side nearly peed his pants, he said with a crying face, “Guozi-ge, please don’t mess with me anymore, I don’t want any money, I don’t want any money!”

“Then wouldn’t I be robbing you?” Guo Qing said in annoyance while taking back his three kuai.

“It’s xiaodi⌈¹⌋ that treated Guozi-ge to the candy!” The candy seller quickly said.

“Oh, that’s fine, thank you!” Guo Qing patted the candy seller and said with a smile.

“Boss, quickly go and eat candy in the corner with dasao, what are you still standing here for?” Guo Qing turned around, and smiled lecherously towards Chen Weier and I.

Chen Weier immediately blushed after hearing that, and quickly shook her hands, “I’m not —— that —— that dasao.”

“Wasn’t what your friend, Guo Qing, did a bit too much?” Chen Weier said to me.

“It’s not really too much, wasn’t it the same when they were asking you for money!” I said.

“That’s true, it’s good that those people got punished a bit, or else they would go and trick other people,” Chen Weier agreed with me seldomly.

“That’s right, why did you think of buying this type of candy? Haven’t you seen that these often trick people?” I pointed to the candy and asked.

“My dad always wanted to eat this type of candy, but he’s reluctant to buy it. Since I saw it coincidentally today, I wanted to buy some for him, I thought it was ten kuai per 500 grams, who knew it was per 50 grams,” Chen Weier said embarrassedly.

“Oh,” I nodded. “Why did you come out? Aren’t you selling Mala Tang?” I asked weirdly. It was nearly mealtime, why did Chen Weier come out at his tim?

“My older brother went over, and told me to come out for air, I also just wanted to go to the bookstore,” Chen Weier said.

“Oh? You’re also going to the bookstore?” I pretended to be surprised. It was very realistic, even I thought I was going to go to the bookstore.

“Yeah, you’re going too?” Chen Weier thought that I was also going seeing my expression.

“Then let’s go together, what a coincidence,” I said naturally, without pretentious expression. This type of lie was far too simple for a old business fox like me.

“Okay,” Chen Weier didn’t find it right to refuse after I said so. Since I just helped her out.

The two of us walked on the street, one at the front, one at the back. Originally we were supposed to walk side by side, yet Chen Weier always waited faster or slower than me. Perhaps Chen Weier thought that walking shoulder to shoulder would make us seem like a couple, making it too ambiguous.

Songjiang city’s Xuefu Bookstore was established in 1990, it was currently the largest bookstore within Songjiang province, it covered 3600 squared meters, and had a standalone garden and parking lot, the number of books it had was among the most in the country, it can be said that aside from pirated copies, all genuine books could be bought here.

“What book are you going to buy?” I said when Chen Weier and I got on the bookstore’s elevator.

“It’s going to be the National Matriculation Examination soon, I want to buy a few more revision guides,” Chen Weier said.

“Let’s go and have a look together,” I said. I remember I often visited this place when I was in the Third Year, now that I think about it, I did miss those books quite a bit, it was a chance to have a look at it with Chen Weier.

In 1995, revision material wasn’t all over the place like it was later on, but it wasn’t too lacking either, Xuefu Bookstore had an entire floor dedicated to selling revision material for students.

I saw Chen Weier pick up a function question bank, it was called “High School Worked Function Examples”, I’ve seen this book in my previous life, the questions inside were a bit different to the course, although the explanation was pretty good, it wasn’t very useful for the National Matriculation Examinations. Of course, I only found this out after attending the National Matriculation Examinations, because this book was treated as a “bible” by some people in our class.

As expected, Chen Weier was immediately attracted by the contents of that book, and started reading enjoyably.

“Although this book does explain stuff in quite a bit of detail, but the questions within are a bit different to those of in the actual exam,” I said to Chen Weier. I felt like I did have to warn Chen Weier a bit, so she would walk less curved paths.

“Really? How do you know, a lot of studious classmates inn my class strongly recommend this book!” Chen Weier said in disbelief.

“Because I’ve seen this book, and have compared it to various past papers!” It couldn’t be helped, I could only answer like this. Or was I supposed to tell her that I’ve seen this book in my previous life?

“Oh? You’ve read it? But this is a guide for Third Year?” Chen Weier looked at the student that just started First Year in disbelief.

“Yeah, I already self-studied all of the courses for high school,” I could only continue randomly making stuff up.

“You learnt all of the courses for high school!?” Chen Weier shouted in surprise, causing everyone else in the book store to look our way.

Chen Weier stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and covered her mouth with her hands. She was way too surprised just now that she became too loud.

“Ah, I remember! They say that our school’s first year has a genius freak, and got 493 marks in the mid term tests, Math, Physics, Chemistry and English were all full marks. I remember he’s also called Liu Lei, are you that person?” Chen Weier opened her mouth wide and pointed her finger at me.

“Probably,” I nodded unsure of what to do. However isn’t this name of genius freak a bit too ehh, why doesn’t it sound good.

“No wonder! So you’re this good! Then I’ll listen to you, I won’t buy this book,” Chen Weier’s gaze towards me became a gaze of admiration.

So being good in academics was so great in school, I said proudly to myself in my heart. It looks like this is an opening, I should talk about academics a bit more with Chen Weier, at the same time… Hehe.

After that, I recommended Chen Weier a few exercise books that were very helpful for me in my previous life, and one of them was even the exercise book with the most accurate questions for the National Matriculation Examination in Chen Weier’s year.

When we were going to pay, I noticed Chen Weier was really slow in paying, and looked at me with a weird gaze.

“Ge, why did you come?” Chen Weier asked weirdly after seeing Chen Yong has come.

“Weier, you and mom all shouldn’t work so hard now! That person gave me another fifty thousand,” Chen Yong said while patting his satchel.

“Which person? Is it the big boss that wants to reserve… reserve my that?” Chen Weier asked shyly.

“En, I saw him just now. He was really angry, and scolded me about not telling him that we ran out of money,” Chen Yong nodded and said.

“Ge, don’t you think this person is an idiot? Why is it for?” Chen Weier asked weirdly. From Chen Weier’s perspective, the person that could make this request would be no different from Yu Gang, and just wanted to possess her. How could he be like this guy, reserving herself then continuously throw money at them, and not take any actions to her, isn’t he scared of her running away?

“Weier, don’t say stuff randomly! I think your brother met a good person! Don’t talk about reserving you, even if that person wants to marry you, mom will agree!” Chen Weier’s mother said.

“Mom, don’t say that. They are so rich, they wouldn’t be interested in me,” Chen Weier lowered her head and said.

“But this is quite weird, Da Yong, what does that boss do?” Chen Weier’s mother asked.

“Would they tell me that? Okay now, just don’t ask, those are their business secrets,” Chen Yong said.

“Okay. Oh yeah Da Yong, since you came, then help mom a little, and let your meimei go out and take a break, the waking up early and sleeping late has made her really tired recently,” Chen Weier’s mother said.

“Sure, Weier, didn’t you say you wanted to go to the book store last time? Go, let older brother look over here for a while,” Chen Yong said.

“But, what about dad’s side?” Chen Weier said worriedly.

“It’s fine, dad already slept after finishing drip-feeding, and there are also nurses,” Chen Yong said.

After Chen Yong left, I wandered around near the market aimlessly, it really was a lonely New Year’s Day.

Suddenly, I noticed that there was a group of people in front of me. I was just bored, if I didn’t go and look I would be an idiot.

So it was a young man selling Babao Candy having an argument with their customer. I’ve seen Babao Candy in my previous life, it is just candy that is made using a mixture of walnuts, pine nuts, almonds, peanuts and other similar nuts and sugar. This thing is very heavy, and the price is also ridiculously expensive, about ten kuai per 50 grams. Just a small piece would require, seven, eight or ten kuai.

What made me most surprised was that the customer buying the candy was Chen Weier!

“I asked you how much is it just now, you said ten kuai!” Chen Weier said.

“I did say ten kuai, but I didn’t say ten kuai per 500 grams!” The candy selling youth said.

“But this is too expensive!” Chen Weier said like she had been wronged.

“Expensive or not, you wanted to buy it, did I force you with a knife?” The candy selling youth snorted.

“Then I’ll just not buy!” Chen Weier said quietly.

“Not buying? You buy when you want to, and refuse to buy when you don’t feel like it, you think the market is your home?” The candy selling youth immediately got annoyed when he heard Chen Weier said she wasn’t going to buy it.

“That’s right, the candy’s already been cut, if you don’t buy it who are we supposed to sell it to?” The other youths with him started fanning the flames.

“Quietly, be willing and take out eighty kuai!” The candy selling youth said.

“Aren’t… aren’t you just robbing!” Chen Weier bit her lips and said angrily with a red face.

“You can’t say that, you got me to cut the candy, how am I robbing? Be careful with what you say girl!” The candy selling youth got even more annoyed.

Seeing the situation like this, I pretty much understood the goal of this bunch, they are just a group that scam people with word play, and doing so really cause you to unable to actually pick out anything wrong.

“Don’t say anything, if you don’t give over the money today, then don’t think that you’re going to leave!” The candy selling youth slammed down the knife onto the table with a “pa” sound and said cockily.

I did see enough fun, if I just look anymore I think that Chen Weier will cry, thus I walked up, and said to those selling candy, “What’s going on?”

Seeing that I stood up for her, Chen Weier looked thankfully towards me.

“It’s none of your business here, wait on the said!” The candy selling youth said impatiently seeing that someone was being a busy body.

“What do you mean none of my business? Haven’t you heard that “Everyone mind everyone’s business’?” I said uncaringly.

“F̲u̲c̲k̲, where did you brat jump out from, who didn’t let you out without tying up your pants?” The candy selling youth’s partners pointed at me and said.

“Please don’t use your fore finger to point at me, because when you’re pointing towards me, there are three fingers pointing towards yourself!” I remembered a sentence said in “Youth and Danger”.
“Ha—— Ha——” The moment words I said it, everyone in the surroundings including Chen Weier all laughed.

“F̲u̲c̲k̲, you’re looking to get beaten up right!” The candy selling youth shouted.

“Who’s looking to get beaten up? F̲u̲c̲k̲ him, I can’t even feel fine playing pool. Let’s see whose acting so cocky?” A voice rang out, I could recognize this voice even if I turned into dust, it was definitely Guo Qing.

As expected, the crowd gave away a path the moment Guo Qing came over.

“Guozi-ge!” Those selling candy immediately calmed down, and said respectfully.

“Aiya, isn’t this Boss? Why are you here?” Guo Qing immediately noticed me, who was standing on the side.

I was going to faint, why does this brat come to ruin it every time something good happens, last time it was when I was going to kiss with Zhao Yanyan in the classroom, this time I was about to save a beauty, he came again.

“Hello, Lei-ge!” Those delinquents behind Guo Qing also recognized me, and immediately greeted me.

“What Boss, these few candy sellers are about to beat me up!” Since Guo Qing came, I won’t be able to save the beauty anyways, so I sold everything out.

Guo Qing stared at them, those candy sellers immediately came over and bowed, and kept asking us to forgive and forget, they had eyes but didn’t recognize Mt. Tai, don’t go onto their level, they nearly kneeled down for me.

“Okay now, what are you pretending to me? Where did the will to hit people go?” Guo Qing used the knife on the table, and casually cut off a piece of candy and placed it in his mouth, he chewed a bit and said to the few delinquent lackeys, “F̲u̲c̲k̲, this candy is pretty good, came and have a taste.”

Those delinquents weren’t anyone someone easy to deal with, they were used to bullying people, and forcing people to buy and sell, now that their boss spoke up, they immediately surrounded them and started eating.

Guo Qing casually handed me the piece that Chen Weier wanted just now and said, “You wanted this right?”

I didn’t refuse, and immediately took it over and handed it to Chen Weier.

“This isn’t good right?” Chen Weier said. Although she also dislikes those people selling candy, she still couldn’t do this kind of taking without paying.

“It’s fine, take it, I’ll give him the money later,” Guo Qing ate another piece of candy and said.

1. N/a

“AI? Boss, isn’t that Chen Weier? Why is she selling Mala Tang here?” Guo Qing pointed in front with shock.

“Two bowls of Mala Tang,” I handed Chen Weier five kuai.

Chen Weier just wanted to give us the change, when Chen Weier’s mother went over, and said, “Aiyaa, it’s Guozi-ge, how would I dare to take the money! Weier, return the money quickly!”

Chen Weier looked at Guo Qing and I with disgust, and prepared to return the money to me.

I got annoyed, this Guo Qing, he must have gotten used to walking sideways in the area, these little stall owners don’t dare to piss him off. Due to this the little bit of good impression Chen Weier had for me all disappeared into thin air.

I quickly refused, “Auntie, how could we eat if you don’t take our money, what’s more is that Weier already treated me to a bowl the other day already. Running your small scale business isn’t easy, and you need to save up money to treat illness.”

Guo Qing immediately understood what I meant after I said that, and immediately said, “Auntie, just take the money. Don’t worry, if there’s anyone that comes trouble you in this area, just say that I Guozi is watching over you.”

Chen Weier glared at me, then gave me one kuai of change. It was as if she was saying, if you dare to not pay, I’ll kill you.

I pretended to not see, smiled and asked, “Weier, your brother?”

“Taking care of my dad in the hospital, the surgery was really successful, my dad’s resting,” the moment this was mentioned, Weier’s face was full of smiles. Chen Weier’s impression of me wasn’t bad, she just didn’t understand why I was mixed with people like Guo Qing.

I was busy with company stuff, and haven’t visited Weier’s Mala Tang for about a month, I’m not sure if the money I gave Chen Yong was enough. He never called me again after giving him two hundred thousand.

“Did you get enough money for the surgery?” I asked. Don’t talk about two hundred thousand, two million, twenty million, I could even take out two hundred million without twitching my eyebrows.

“My —— My brother borrowed two hundred thousand. However the kidney donor took away a hundred and fifty thousand, and we couldn’t do anything about it. The surgery fee took eighty thousand, my mom and I borrowed thirty thousand, so we got enough,” since it was New Year’s Day, and there weren’t many people on the streets, Chen Weier started chatting with me while sitting on a chair. Speaking of borrowing two hundred thousand, Chen Weier obviously blushed, I think she’s too shy to say the money came from selling herself.

“Then that’s great! But that money isn’t from that Yu Gang right?” I asked deliberately. Yet I was scolding Chen Yong in my heart, call me if you didn’t have enough money, borrow money for what!

“No,” Chen Weier immediately shook her head. I could tell that, Chen Weier was in a good mood. It may be due to her father’s illness having been treated, she didn’t dislike me asking her these questions.

Then I talked casually about some daily stuff, such as how Mala Tang stall isn’t profitable etc., then Guo Qing and I left the Mala Tang stall.

“Boss, why don’t you express something to her?” Guo Qing asked weirdly.

I laughed and said, “You don’t understand this now right, you have to take it slow with these independent girls.” I patted Guo Qing’s back and said.

“Oh,” Guo Qing nodded like he didn’t fully understand. “Boss is obviously different. If it was me then I would directly ask her if she likes me or not, never mind if she doesn’t.”

“It’ll be weird if you managed to get girls like this,” I mocked.

“Don’t say that, there are a lot of chicks that are willing to follow me, I’m just not willing,” Guo Qing said with pride.

“Those are just some little taimei⌈¹⌋ right!” I gave away the secret.

“How’d you know?” Guo Qing immediately got discouraged, like a frosty eggplant.

In the afternoon, I said my farewells to Guo Qing in front of the billiard hall. That brat said he needed to have fun with his bros.

After Guo Qing left, I directly called Chen Yong. The phone number Chen Yong left me was the hospital number, after being redirected a few times, I finally heard Chen Yong’s confused voice, “Hello? Who’s looking for me?”

“Chen Yong, why didn’t you f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g call me?” I got angry just hearing Chen Yong’s voice, not speaking up when the money’s not enough, and even got Chen Weier to borrow money, what if the girl was tricked by people with ill intentions, then wouldn’t I die of regret

“You —— You are Liu Lei right, what——what did I do wrong?” Chen Yong was shocked, and stuttered in the phone.

“Why didn’t you tell me after spending all the money! And you went to borrow?” I said angrily.

“I… This… That…” Chen Yong nearly went dumb hearing my words, what was unimaginable for him was that I actually took the initiative to call him to give him more money!

“How much more do you need?” I asked. I felt a bit annoyed, this Chen Yong, we said it at the start that he’ll say it when he needs money, and yet now he’s still hesitating, who knows if he actually has a brain, “Shouldn’t you say something? Don’t just this and that!”

“Ah ——, Chen Weier and them borrowed thirty thousand, the two of them also earned three thousand something kuai, we still owe others twenty seven thousand,” Chen Yong answered honestly. Chen Yong did think of asking me for money at the time, but he felt too embarrassed to, “I was thinking that you already gave us two hundred thousand, so it’s enough, I felt embarrassed to ask you for money.”

“Your meimei will be mine in the future, you’re still embarrassed? Okay now, I’ll wait for you at the entrance to the Huaxia Bank near the market entrance, call a cab over!” I snorted then hung up.

Yet I had to wait for more than half an hour. Chen Yong came down from a bus and came really slowly.

“Didn’t I tell you to call a cab?” I said angrily.

“I-I just have 5 kuai left in my pocket,” Chen Yong grimaced.

It looks like I was wrong to blame him, now that I think about it, the money his family earned have more or less all been used to repay the debt, how would he have money in his pocket.

Chen Yong and I entered Huaxia Bank, I walked straight to the VIP counter inside. I handed over a bank card, this is my share of profits from Shuguang Corporation, Zhao Junsheng turned the previously anonymous account into one under my name.

“Withdraw thirty thousand… No, withdraw fifty thousand,” I said to the clerk.

“Sir, here is fifty thousand, please receive it,” very quickly, fifty thousand was placed into my hands. The treatment of VIP really was different.

“Here, buy some supplements for your father with the remaining money,” I gave the money to Chen Yong.

Chen Yong got so worked that he didn’t know what to saw, he was really confused about my generous gifting method. The first time I gave two hundred thousand when he asked for eighty thousand, this time I gave fifty thousand when he asked for thirty thousand. What was the goal of this young man that was pretty much the same as his meimei? He has nowhere o spend his money? It doesn’t look like it, from the simple way he dresses, he doesn’t seem like those who doesn’t treat money as money. Could he truly like his meimei? Even so, he doesn’t need to just dump two hundred and fifty thousand!

“Oh yeah, don’t let Weier get so toiled, call me if the money’s not enough,” I said to Chen Yong when I left.

Zhao Junsheng found it really weird at the time, will someone buy it since they set the price so high? However I, who was clear with the direction of history, knew that due to my appearance, Microsoft couldn’t help but to release Windows 95 early, the Office 95 that was to go with it was still in development, and had not past testing. On the other hand my Shuguang Office 95 already included all of the functions of Office 97, and I have used the WPS Office I saw in my previous life as reference, and entire that it would support WPS, CCD and other file formats used in foreign office software, the Office 97 in my memory was sold at precisely this price, and received success, Therefore I also set Shuguang Office 95 at this price.

Although Zhao Junsheng found it weird, he still followed my instructions, and didn’t think that Shuguang Office 95 would end up with even more sales than Windows 95. Towards this weird situation, Zhao Junsheng and I clearly knew that Windows 95 can be installed on multiple computers for a official operating system, yet it wasn’t like that for Shuguang Office 95, Shuguang Office 95 also had my encrypting techniques that was unable to be broken by the current computing realm, it was an encryption technique that encrypted both the disc and registered the phone, pirated versions would not be able to be made in this era.

I estimated in my heart, at the end of 1995 in my previous life, Microsoft received a profit that reached 6 billion dollars within the 4 months of Windows 95 being released, if I go with that, then the profit that my Shuguang Office 95 received would be even higher, my profits will be 8.25 billion, and this is assuming the sales are the same, from the looks of it, the sales of Shuguang Office 95 was even higher than Windows 95.

“Xiao Liu, our Shuguang Office 95 managed to sell for nearly 1 billion USD!” Zhao Junsheng called me early in the morning on New Year’s day.

“Oh, is that so?” Shuguang Office 95 was only part of the plan, there are a lot of software ideas which I haven’t made yet,” I already knew this result would occur. I did have a lot more ideas, finance software, graphic software, media software, antiviruses will all become areas with huge profits.

“Hehe, my glory of a life time were all realized these few days of Shuguang Corporation opening! The central government has already recognized our business as a private technology business to be developed and protected, you can’t even imagine how many beneficial policies there are!” Zhao Junsheng said happily.

Actually everything he said was inevitable, the appearance of Shuguang Corporation virtually led to the development of Huaxia’s economy and trade, the government was naturally going to be happy about it.

“Oh yeah, Xiao Liu, I am starting to regret not accepting your share back then, 1 billion USD, if you gave me 10% then I would have 100 million, and that’s 500 million Huaxia currency, I won’t have to worry about money my entire life!” Zhao Junsheng said laughingly.

“I don’t care about that, who told you to reject it back then. Now that you want it, it’s too late! But you can talk about it with Zhao Yanyan, and see if she’s willing to give her shares to you?” I said craftily.

“Yanyan? Never mind. Just treat it like I was kidding, your bomu and I can’t even spend all the money I made before. I’m not in Shuguang for money, it’s because it can give me pride, and the pride of the people!” Zhao Junsheng said full heartedly.

“Okay, you want pride, I want money, we won’t interfere with each other,” I laughed and hung up.

It’s the first day of the New Year, what should I do? I called Zhao Yanyan first, I haven’t XXOO with her for a long time, since there’s no one at home today, I thought perversely.

The result disappointed me very much, Zhao Yanyan was going to celebrate at Zhao Limin’s home, the entire family was there, so she couldn’t accompany me. I could also hear Zhao Junsheng’s roar in the phone: Xiao Liu I just hung up, and you’re already calling my daughter!

I hung up the phone and smiled wryly, coincidentally, the phone rang again.

“Hello, who is it?” I picked up the phone.

“Boss, what are you going to do today?” This voice was definitely Guo Qing.

“Not much, how about going out together? I said.

“Sure, see you in front of the market in half an hour,” Guo Qing said.

After half an hour, I saw Guo Qing, who was wearing a black suit and sunglasses, clearly this was the boss of the underworld on TV.

“F̲u̲c̲k̲, what’s this, do you think you’re Xiao Ma Ge? You are just an Old Tun,” I rushed up and gave him a fist.

“F̲u̲c̲k̲ your mom, who the hell are you!?” Before Guo Qing said anything, I was surrounded by four or five rascals with colored hair.

“Who? Who your mom, quickly call Lei-ge!” Guo Qing kicked the delinquent that spoke.

“Hello Lei-ge——“ All of those delinquents said together.

“Okay, go play on the side, there’s no business of yours here,” Guo Qing said, and waved his hand to tell the few delinquents to go over to the billiard hall on the other side of the stret.

“Who are these?” I pointed to the colorful figures.

“Just a few lackeys I just accepted from around her. They’re from the market, they don’t know much else except to act pretentious, and after getting beaten a little they immediately submitted,” Guo Qing said while lighting a cigarette. Then it to me.

“I couldn’t tell, but you’re awesome now, already going around the society,” I pushed away the cigarette that Guo Qing handed me.

“Heh, my ability isn’t exaggerated, beaten ones like them is just child’s play,” Guo Qing said proudly.

“I really couldn’t tell, let’s spar a bit when we have time?” I hands have been getting itchy these days as well, I didn’t know why, but I always felt really energized.

“Boss, although you’re Boss, but your physique, I really shouldn’t say much, I can already get to a draw with Coach Zhang,” Guo Qing clapped my shoulders and said.

“Hehe, it’s not that I’m scolding you, looking at what you’re wearing, didn’t you see everyone on the streets avoiding you? I feel really weird with you,” On the way, people always hid faraway from wherever Guo Qing passed by.

“F̲u̲c̲k̲, that just means I’m cocky, I’ll beat whoever won’t submit to death!” Guo Qing said uncaringly.

I sighed in my heart, continuing on like this, Guo Qing wasn’t far away from those criminal organizations, I don’t know if the Huaxia government could stand his existence under such circumstances. It wouldn’t matter much if these organizations don’t cause any trouble, but once they do, they’ll get arrested, and either be imprisoned for a lifetime, or be sentenced to death.

I have to remind Guo Qing, but how was I supposed to say it? Guo Qing finally found some target in life, if I killed off his dreams, he might collapse into shambles, this wasn’t what I wanted to see.

What I had to do now, was make him understand that without hurting his pride, and like him walk a unique path. Looking at Guo Qing, who was beside me, I had to think about it carefully again and speak to him about this.

Since the current Guo Qing could only be counted as a delinquent, and couldn’t be classified as a member of the underworld.

December 26^th 1994, was an important day.

On this day, Shuguang Technology Corporation officially opened, it’s children companies include Shuguang Microelectronics Limited and Shuguang Software New Technology, Zhao Junsheng assumed the role of the CEO of the corporation.

The day it opened, Uncle Zhao called really early, and reminded me to not get the time wrong. Originally I didn’t want to attend this type of occasion, but I couldn’t stand the countless persuasion, and could only attend as an invited guest.

The ribbon cutting was set at Uncle Zhao’s original company at Fazhan Road. Tiangheng Computers was restructured and turned into Shuguang Software, Uncle Zhao took the chance to also rent the other floors on the original office, and established that as the office of the corporation. Due to this ribbon cutting being really grand, and more than 1000 people attended, the local government couldn’t help but to send the traffic police to Fazhan Road to temporarily seal off the path, and prevent cars from passing. Of course, this was also in order to give face to Zhao Junsheng’s father, Elder Zhao.

Officials from all levels in the province and city attended the ribbon cutting ceremony, the occasion was more magnificent than thing ever before. A lot of rich businessmen and important officials in the government all came to congratulate, and Zhao Junsheng also gave an awe-inspiring speech as the CEO of the corporation.

Zhao Junsheng used a voice that excited the people and said, “The people of Huaxia now rise in the IE field as well!’

After the ribbon cutting ceremony ended, Zhao Junsheng said he was going to bring me to meet some people in the upper class, but I refused. It’s not that I didn’t want to get in contact with these people, but I didn’t want my identity to be exposed so early. If the fact that a high school student managed to create such a large corporation was known by some people with ulterior movies, then it was unavoidable for them to cause some issues. However Zhao Junsheng wouldn’t agree no matter what, and was hell bent on introducing me to some officials in the province and the city, it couldn’t be helped, after a discussion, I could only appear as the son-in-law of Zhao Junsheng, which is also Zhao Limin’s grandson-in-law, and shook hands with each and everyone of these officials.

These officials were very curious about my identity, someone that could become Elder Zhao’s grandson-in-law couldn’t be normal, and looking at Zhao Limin’s attitude towards me, it was obvious that he accepted this marriage. Everyone was guessing about my background and the power I represent, however even if thy thought so hard that hey broke their brains they would not be able to guess that my background was my worker parents. They would also never be able to imagine that I was the true master of Shuguang Corporation behind the scenes.

Something a bit more interesting also occurred. Jiang Yongfu also attended this ribbon cutting ceremony. When Zhao Junshng introduced me to Jiang Yongfu as the “son-in-law”, the expression on Jiang Yongfu’s face was embarrassed to the max, he shook hands with me bitterly, and just wanted to go and find a hole in the ground to hide in. At the same time he also broke a sweat for himself, fortunately he got there in time last time, and didn’t let that b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ Yang Shuguang cause any huge trouble. Or else it was very likely for him to already be one of those traffic police creating order or police that was patrolling around.

Since Jiang Yongfu could also be countered as a local magistrate that was neither very important nor ignorable, I didn’t make it too hard for him, said softly beside his ear, “I know you had nothing to do with it last time, so don’t worry! If I was going to take revenge, it would also be towards that Fat-a̲s̲s̲ Yang!”

Jiang Yongfu looked at me thankfully, and said seriously, “Say it anytime if you can use me, Old Jiang!” Actually Jiang Yongfu was also clear that with my current identity, there were almost nowhere that he would come into use. However for his own future, he still had to say it.

However I did have somewhere that Jiang Yongfu could com into use, Guo Qing was getting more and more cocky, and was very famous in the society around Fourth High, who doesn’t know Wanming Guozi, ever since he broke the opponent’s had when he fought a few rascals from the technical school, this name became really well known. If he continues on like this, it’s hard to not have a day where he’ll be arrested, so the reason I have Jiang Yongfu a way out was so that Guo Qing can know him through me.

After a round, there was a pile of various business cards in my ad, these people all took up important positions in businesses or the government. I placed these name cards away, there might be a time when I can use it in the future.

After that, under Zhao Junsheng’s company, the different officials also visited the office and the software company. The factory of Shuguang Microelectronics Limited was located in outskirts of the city, and was far from here, so they gave up visiting there.

After we ate, the ribbon cutting ceremony officially ended at four something in the afternoon.

All of the media gave Shuguang Corporation a lot of importance and recognition. Shuguang Corporation become a shining new star in the IT realm of Huaxia with dignity, and had over 1.5 billion Huaxia currency invested in it, this was never seen before in the industry.

Other people, including everyone from the corporation, all thinks that Zhao Junsheng had the final say in Shuguang Corporation, none of them knew that Zhao Junsheng was a naked director without any bit of shares. According to the arrangement, I held 90% of Shuguang Corporation’s shares, Zhao Yanyan held 10%. I, as the absolute shareholder of Shuguang Corporation, did not appear on the ribbon cutting ceremony.

The same day that Shuguang Corporation officially opened, Zhao Junsheng once again announced a news that made people drop their glasses —— Shuguang software will be introducing “Shuguang Office 95” that could be used on Windows 95.

Shuguang Office 95 was developed a masterpiece under my leadership, and developed by those programmers originally working for Uncle Zhao as well as the newly employed programmers. Not only did it possess the functions I saw in Office 97 in my previous life, what was most attractive was that it could support the files of both WPS and CCED! This allowed the users to choose to use the easy to operate Shuguang Office 95 without losing any of their original data!

This was also the first software developed by Huaxia that was based on the Windows platform! In comparison, Microsoft was not surprised by this, because this shock was nothing compared to the shock that had in Huaxia before. However Microsoft could never dream that the owner behind the scenes for Shuguang is me, the person that sold them the Shuguang operating system!

After Shuguang Office 95 was put onto the market, Microsoft immediately sent over emails, asking if they could cooperate with us to develop versions for other languages, I got Zhao Junsheng to reject the offer, because we don’t lack money anymore, this could all be done ourselves, there was no need for other people to participate and share profits with them.

Shuguang Office 95 achieved a huge success after being introduced, Zhao Junsheng immediately got his subordinates to translate it into many different languages such as English, Japanese, Korean etc. to sell in other countries. Almost everyone that bought Windows 95 would also buy Shuguang Office 95, as time passed, the orders at Shuguang increased crazily, Zhao Junsheng couldn’t help but get the factory to produce another batch of Shuguang Office 95.

Windows 95 was sold for 4000 Huaxia currency within the country, but I insisted on getting Zhao Junsheng to set the price of Shuguang Office 95 at 5500 Huaxia currency, the price in foreign countries was also higher than the price for Windows 95.

In the underworld.

“Yama-daren, there’s another person that committed suicide today,” Judge A said.

“There are already plenty of laws in the world of the living, why are there people that commit suicide? Could there be a grievance?” Yama asked weirdly.

“It’s probably a suicide for love!” Judge B said.

“Oh? There are suicides for love these days?” Yama had an expression as if he saw a ghost. (He seems to be a ghost himself right?)

“Yeah, how is there true love in this era, I haven’t seen suicides for love in several hundred years!” Judge A said.

“En, that’s right!” Yama was also interested in this person that committed suicide for love, “Bring that one here, this Yama will judge him in person!’

“Yes!” A xiaogui answered, and swiftly floated out of the palace.

After a while, a xiaogui brought a beautiful and depressed female ghost onto the palace of Yama, the female palace was made to kneel onto the floor.

“Who is down there!” Yama asked.

“Replying to Yama, I am called Zhao Yanyan,” the beautiful female ghost said.

“Zhao Yanyan? That’s a good name! Say it, why did you die!” Yama asked.

“I committed suicide,” Zhao Yanyan said.

“F̲u̲c̲k̲! I know you committed suicide, I’m asking you why did you commit suicide,” Yama glared angrily at her.

“For the one I love, because he died,” Zhao Yanyan said. However this Yama was pretty hilarious, and wasn’t scary like he was portrayed in movies. From the looks of it, he seems pretty easy to talk to him, she’ll beg him a little later, and may even let her and Liu Lei be a couple in the next life.

“How did that person die? What’s he called, say everything, if he didn’t reincarnate yet, then I can help arrange you two to meet in the underworld,” Yama said. There was a ruling in the underworld, for those who died due to grievance or for love, there were different treatments.

“He’s called Liu Lei, he died of a heart attack,” Zhao Yanyan said while being worked up, she never though that she would be able to see her loved one in the underworld when she died.

“En? Liu Lei? Why was this name so familiar?” Yama said as he pondered.

“Yama, he’s your gandidi!” Judge A reminded.

“Oh! That’s right! F̲u̲c̲k̲, look at my memory, bring me those melatonin that people burnt for me later so I can supplement myself!” Yama suddenly remembered.

“En… About this… Liu Lei isn’t in the underworld anymore,” Yama said awkwardly.

“What! He already reincarnated? So quickly?” Zhao Yanyan fell onto the floor in shock.

“Ai, what a pitiful woman!” Judge B sighed.

“Yeah, but there was only that one spot for rebirth, or else it’ll be great for her to get reborn!” Yama said regretfully.

“Oh yeah, Yama-daren, according the rules of the underworld, those that committed suicide for love can have a chance to find their loved one again!” Judge A suddenly thought of something.

“You’re telling her to eat ‘Zhuiqing Dan’?” Yama asked, then immediately shook his head and said. “No no, this dan is way too poisonous.”

“What is drug is it? I can see Liu Lei after eating it? Let me eat it quickly!” Zhao Yanyan suddenly shouted while worked up.

“Ai! Girl, it’s not that this king is not willing to give it to you, this Dan is way too poisonous!” Yama said, “Judge A, explain it!”

Judge A cleared his throat and said, “After ingesting this ‘Zhuiqing Dan’, your soul will automatically go back to the moment when you just started liking that person, in other words into your previous body. It is similar to rebirth, but it isn’t rebirth. That’s because your memories in this life will be sealed, including everything you have experienced in the underworld.”

“Then how is it poisonous?” Zhao Yanyan asked weirdly.

“Let me finished!” Judge A continued, “You must receive that person’s love within a year, and sleep with him, only then will the poison in your body be transferred onto your loved one, not only you’ll be fine, you’ll also gradually restore the memories of your previous life. However if you didn’t receive his love and sleep together, then you will die because of the poison, and will become a wandering spirit, never to reincarnate.”

“But you said that poison will be passed onto his body?” Zhao Yanyan asked anxiously.

“What’s with you, girl, you aren’t worried about your own well-being, and is worried about that person?” Judge A asked weirdly.

“Perhaps, this is love,” Zhao Yanyan said faintly. “Never mind, death is death, as long as I can see him again, I’ll be really happy, I won’t pass the poison to him.”

Yama didn’t think Zhao Yanyan would say that, and was a bit surprised, and thought, my little bro has that hand? He didn’t notice it. Remembering that Liu Lei is his own little bro, Yama didn’t want to hide it from Zhao Yanyan, since she’ll forget everything she knows after rebirth. Even if he tell her, she can’t bring the memory through rebirth, these things will only be hidden in the depth of her memory, even though it may occasionally pop up in dreams, she definitely won’t recall it.

Thus he gave Judge A a cue.

“Fine, I’ll tell you, that poison not only has no harmful effects towards men, and will change his constitution, let him possess some powers that normal people doesn’t, in your words it’s called superpowers, and could also be called supernatural abilities, this can be said as a reward for his love to you,” Judge A saw that Yama agreed, and immediately explained for Zhao Yanyan.

“Oh, then give it to me quickly,” Zhao Yanyan felt relieved after hearing that the Dan had no ill effects for Liu Lei.

“Are you sure? You won’t remember these things after ingesting it, if he doesn’t do that with you, you’ll die for no reason whatsoever!” Judge B reminded.

“Aiya, how can you be so long-winded, just give it to me quickly!” Zhao Yanyan said impatiently.

“Heh! This isn’t just empty warning! Judge B is right, X̲X̲X̲ in the Tang dynasty and X̲X̲X̲ in the Qing dynasty and X̲X̲X̲ in the Republic of China all took this drug, but didn’t receive their love, and died of the poison in the end!” Yama reminded.

“I’m not scared!” Zhao Yanyan said firmly.

“Okay, Judge A, go and get it for her!” Yama shook his head. Then he thought, hopefully my little bro won’t disappoint this infatuated girl.

Judge A handed Zhao Yanyan a Dan and said, “Think about that person’s name when you take it, then you’ll return to the moment you fell in love with him!”

Zhao Yanyan received the Dan, and swallowed it without any hesitation.

Yama sighed, “Ai, we don’t know if she can succeed or not! If my little bro calls me, I have to remind him a little. However I can’t call him yet, ai, this phone’s function, I have to get the two fellows Edison and Bell to add the finishing touch, or else it won’t work!”

“However if that person really received superpowers, wouldn’t he be invincible?” Judge A said worriedly.

“What’s the problem with that, that person is our Yama’s didi, invincibility is normal! Worry your a̲s̲s̲!” Judge B glared at Judge A and said.

“Oh yeah, didn’t my didi want superpowers? The superpowers are here, it’s up to him to see if he can grasp it!”

1. N/a

Eversince Zhao Yanyan returned from Yanjing, she had weird dreams every single night.

She didn’t really pay much attention to it at the start, but then the dreams became more and more realistic, and every night’s dream was linked with the previous one!

Another one of herself, and another Liu Lei will always appear in the dreams, after a while, she started to be unable to tell which one was the dream, and which was reality.

Every character in the dream, every dialogue, even every action and her thoughts at the time were so realistic, as if it truly happened. However it seemed like it didn’t as well, because in the dream she was already in second year, and had to select her subject, she asked Liu Lei like a fool, do you think I should choose humanities or sciences?

What was it? Zhao Yanyan didn’t just think that they were purely dreams anymore, dreams cannot continue, and wouldn’t give that feel as if she was really there. Every time Zhao Yanyan woke up, the things that happened in the dream would be fresh on her mind, as if it is scorched into her brain, and can’t forget it even if she wanted to.

Perhaps she had the ability to see the future? But that wasn’t it, because the dreams started when school started and she shook hands with Liu Lei, the Liu Lei in the dreams wasn’t as daring as the one in real life, the Liu Lei in the dreams had a red face, and didn’t dare to shake hands with her even after a long while, and the things that happened later didn’t occur in the dreams. Therefor Zhao Yanyan didn’t think this dream had any connection with real life, but why did the things that happened in the dreams seem so real?

That Zhao Yanyan loved Liu Lei in secret, but Liu Lei seemed always seemed indifferent whenever she hinted at her feelings.

Zhao Yanyan was really scared, she wanted to tell this all to Liu Lei, but didn’t know how to begin! Could it be because she loved Liu Lei too much? Perhaps! Zhao Yanyan didn’t know herself why did she love Liu Lei so much, for example on the first day of school, Liu Lei seemed awfully familiar to her. That feeling was like the two of them knew each other before…

Turn back the time to Zhao Yanyan’s wedding in the previous life, onto the story that Liu Lei doesn’t know about.

In the hospital.

Zhao Yanyan caressed Liu Lei’s thin face, while tears flowed down her face. She choked, “Liu Lei, if you told me these words earlier, I would have married you at all cost! Did you know, I waited for these words from you for fifteen years!”

Scenes from the past flashed through Zhao Yanyan’s mind…

That little boy who didn’t even dare to shake hands with herself… (Perhaps it was then, her heart was given to him)

The foolish boy who acted indifferent towards her very obvious hints when choosing subjects… (Already asked him so many times “Do you want me to take humanities or sciences”)

That genius boy who actually got first in the year in the last few mock exams in the third year… (Did he work so hard for me?)

That familiar figure that appeared in in the registry office of Qinghua University… (He really came, I nearly went dumb from the excitement)

That new star in school that was always surrounded by beauties… (Is he the same person as he was in high school? But he seems to act indifferent to the pursue of the beauties~ It can’t be for me right? Happying…)

He actually worked in the same corporate company as myself after graduation… (Could this be a coincidence? He can’t have looked at my employment letter in secret right… Being narcissistic…)

That excellent man that continuously worked, and got gradually promoted… (Why does he only care about work, I’m already twenty eight, I will no longer be young after a few years…)

The man commanding the ocean and winds, who sat upon the throne of Microsoft’s CEO of the Huaxia region at the age of thirty one… (Ai! Could it be that he never liked me at all! I’m already thirty-one, if I don’t marry then no one will want me anymore!)

That man is actually so close with Xu Zhongbang’s daughter, they are chatting and laughing… (What is their relationship? Dismaying, and somehow randomly accepted Xu Qingwei’s proposal when my head was heated.)

On the day of Christmas, I handed my own wedding invitation to that man… (Last chance, if he confesses to me before my wedding, I will definitely marry him, I’m so anxious…)

Fifteen years of memories, was fresh in her mind just like yesterday, Zhao Yanyan laid across that stone-cold corpse, and continued to weep.

That night, Zhao Yanyan cancelled her engagement with Xu Qingwei, and stumbled back into her own apartment alone.

She opened the drawer, and took out a diary from within, she opened the diary, from it a photograph fell out —— That was a graduation photo of Songjiang Fourth High’s graduating class of 1994.

Zhao Yanyan caressed the face of the person in the photograph softly, this was her only photo taken with him, tears flowed form the corners of Zhao Yanyan’s eyes.

Looking at her own diary, that name appeared pretty much on every single page, Zhao Yanyan smiled. At least she already obtained his love, everything else wasn’t that important anymore, isn’t that right?

We who don’t understand love, hate, passion, worry and torment

Think love is just like the ever-changing wind and clouds

Believing that one day love will be forever more

And in that moment time will freeze

We who don’t know how to express tenderness

Still think that starcrossed love exists only in ancient stories

How painful it is to part? How intense the pain

When dreams are buried in the misty rain of the South River

Only when we’ve had our hearts broken do we understand

The beautiful and depressing song of “South River” rang out from the amplifier…

On the next day, all of the newspapers had a shocking news on the front page: “Microsoft Huaxia region’s CEO dies mysteriously attending a subordinate’s working, the bride commits suicide through overdose of sleeping pills that night.”

Was it a coincidence or was there more to it, rumors begun to spread through newspapers, magazines and television, people continuously voiced their suspicions.

However, the deceased has deceased, two young man and woman, left like this. They left this world carrying their co-worker’s confusion, the media’s suspicion, and the troubles of public opinion.

The only one who knew the truth was Xu Qingwei. He seemed to have predicted this situation beforehand, he sat along in the new home, and sighed quietly.

Zhao Yanyan, belongs to that man in the end, she died, she died for love. She could finally be with him like she hoped.

Xu Qingwei was vexed, why couldn’t he compare up to Liu Lei in anything, even in love. He was a complete and utter failure. He had thought that after Zhao Yanyan marries himself, she would finally give up, and be content with him.

However he didn’t think that Liu Lei would die not earlier nor later, but right on the wedding, and dead is dead, he had to say something to Zhao Yanyan right before he died, resulting in Zhao Yanyan breaking off the engagement and ran back to her own home…

He didn’t think that this leave, will be a permanent one.

Xu Qingwei felt like there was no meaning in living anymore, even if he continues to live, how would others see him? A failure?

1. N/a

I hugged Zhao Yanyan, and started cooperating with her…

“Mhmmm…” Zhao Yanyan wanted to speak, but her tongue was entwined with mine.

After a long while, Zhao Yanyan finally pushed me aside, and said with a red face, “You’re so terrible! Ruoyun-meimei is just on the side, you actually ——“

I chuckled and looked up, and noticed Xu Ruoyun was looking at us with wide eyes. Her face was already infinitely flushed…

Although Zhao Yanyan and I were extremely happy playing around in the park, Xu Ruoyun was clearly disinterested. However I didn’t care about him, I didn’t bring her over to play, I was only coexisting peacefully with her, due to Xu Jinde’s face.

When we left the cultural park, Zhao Yanyan and I sent Xu Ruoyun onto the bus first before we parted reluctantly.

Xu Ruoyun didn’t go back home directly, but was called over by a senior in the Computing Association.

“You are sure that the input method he made was copied?” Xu Ruoyun looked at the data in her hands, and asked in disbelief.

“Definitely! I got the official version of Windows 95 through internal relationships, there was a pinyin input method that came with it which is exactly the same as Shuguang pinyin input method! IT is also called that, the only difference is that it works in the Windows platform, and Liu Lei’s is for a DOS platform. I am certain that this Liu Lei must have seen the input method within Windows, then moved it to a DOS platform. This type of naked plagiarism actually dare to claim it as a Huaxia original!” A man said.

“But it could be Windows that copied Lie Lei?” Xu Ruoyun asked.

“That’s definitely impossible, are you unclear with what kind of company Microsoft is? How could it go and copy someone else?” The man said confidently.

He thought that, Xu Ruoyun was really overestimating this man called Liu Lei, who did he think he is? Let an international company copy him? Isn’t that like a joke?

That was like hearing a millionaire borrowing money from a beggar. It was too ridiculous.

“That’s true! Heh, if it really is like this, I have to reveal this! Such a failure would actually appear in the computing world!” Xu Ruoyun raised her fist and said hatefully.

“Of course! Oh yeah, Ruoyun, my dad copied a new game from his coworker today, do you want to try it over at my home?” The man said.

“No, I still have to hurry back home to write a program, leave it for another day,” Xu Ruoyun said without any expression.

After Xu Ruoyun left, a cold smile appeared on the man’s face. Fight over a woman with me? I’ll cause your name to shatter. Heh, you brat wants to silently get rich? You didn’t know that I have a way to get the sample for Windows 95 right?

This time, including the Shuguang Computers that’s with you, is going to be doomed together! Heh.

This man was called Li Boliang, he was the president of the Songjiang Youth Computing Association, and also a talented student of Songjiang University’s first year the Computing course .

Before meeting Xu Ruoyun, Li Boliang thought that all the girls that messed with computers were dinosaurs, because there was not a single beauty in his course. The first time he saw Xu Ruoyun who came to sign up for the Computing Association, Li Boliang was blown away by the beautiful girl, and made her the target that he would pursue for the latter half of his life.

However the feeling Xu Ruoyun gave him was rather distant, although he hinted that he likes her many times, Xu Ruoyun never had any reaction. The relationship between the two just developed in neither a good nor bad direction.

Li Boliang felt that the two were closer than friends, but definitely not lovers. Despite this, Li Boliang wasn’t in a hurry, since Xu Ruoyun was young, only in the first year of high school. There was plenty of time to come, there will be a day when Xu Ruoyun falls in love with him.

The reason he had such confidence was because he know that Xu Ruoyun was a computer fanatic, she would always admire computing masters that are better than her, and he was the best in the computing world in Songjiang city, if Xu Ruoyun wants to find a boyfriend, then he would be her best choice.

However, accidents will often happen.

Ever since Xu Ruoyun returned from the competition in Yanjiang, it was actually another boy’s name that kept on coming out of her mouth —— Liu Lei.

Not only that, but she often praised Liu Lei for this and that, as well as the fact that he got two first places in Yanjing by himself, and was a computing geniu etc. This angered Li Boliang, he could faintly feel that this Liu Lei may become his rival in love, so he investigated him in secret.

However, when he found out that Liu Lei had participated in the development of the Shujiang input method that was all the heat within the country, he deflated.

This input method was the pride of the entire computing world, and was called a revolutionizing work for Chinese input methods in the twentieth century! Everyone, including LI Boliang himself, was using this input method.

At that moment, Li Boliang found out that he was definitely a frog at the bottom of a well, and the difference between him and that Liu Lei wasn’t just a tiny bit, even if he worked hard for ten years, he may not be able to produce such a perfect input method!

However there really were coincidences, LI Boliang’s father borrowed an official version of Windows 95 from a friend, after installing it Li Boliang noticed that Liu Lei’s Shuguang pinyin input method had a 99% similarity with the input method that was in Microsoft’s Windows 95, not only that, even the name was the same —— both were called Shuguang input method!

At the time, Li Boliang wanted to laugh crazily, the heavens were really helping him! This Liu Lei’s work was actually plagiarized.

On the following day, Li Boliang immediately found Xu Ruoyun, and told her all about it, Xu Ruoyun immediately became really angry. She always looked down upon those people that loose face for the computing realm, she thinks that Liu Lei shouldn’t have plagiarized no matter what, and after that, he actually shamelessly claimed that it was a Huaxia original, and it was the pride of Huaxia! That was truly losing face for Huaxia’s computing industry.

Therefore Xu Ruoyun decided that she will get closer to this Liu Lei and investigate his actions in secret, and will sue him at court when she needs to, and deal with this kind of trash by law!

Li Boliang was very satisfied with Xu Ruoyun’s reaction, and he was already sure in his heart that Liu Lei’s Shuguang pinyin input method was definitely plagiarized! From his point of view, Liu Lei’s name shattering into pieces was only a matter of time!

Now, he just needed to collect evidence, as long as he had enough evidence, he can reveal it using the media, when that happens, he doesn’t need to do anything, the comments by people will ruin this Liu Lei.

When a fall is shattering, people will push it down, all of the other media will also rush forward, and it could be foreseen that this Liu Lei was done for, he will have no chance to come back in the future!

Li Boliang thought that he really was a genius, and was even able to think of these ideas.

1. N/a

Only after I rushed over to the cultural park did I notice that it was still early. If I knew this would happen, I would have talked a bit more with Chen Yong, so I wouldn’t have to wait here idiotically.

I used this chance to go over to the flower shot beside the part, and asked them for something with a few sentences, then paid the money. I really wasn’t treating Zhao Yanyan that well, not only was I not single-minded in relationships, I haven’t truly gift her anything when I was with her, in this period of time, since I was busy opening the company with Zhao Junsheng, I desolated the chick quite a bit, but she never had a single word of complaint.

“Guess who,” just as my mind was wandering over the place, a pair of ice cold hands covered my eyes.

I was going to faint, didn’t this chick have enough with this game? Wasn’t she jealous enough last time?

“You are Xia Jing?” I asked.

“No!”

“Then Chen Weier?” I asked again after some thoughts.

“No!”

“Hehe, okay, I know you are Yanyan!” I intentionally took a while to think, before finally saying it.

“You guessed it wrong again!” The person who covered my eyes said coldly.

What? I guessed it wrong? At that moment I could faintly feel that something wasn’t right with the voice, this wasn’t Zhao Yanyan’s voice.

I quickly turned around, and noticed that the person that covered my eyes was actually Xu Ruoyun! What was more unbelievable was that, Zhao Yanyan was actually standing on the side looking at me with a gaze that was smiling yet not smiling.

“Yanyan-jie, who is that Xia Jing and Chen Weier?” Xu Ruoyun asked weirdly.

I sweated, where did these two chicks become sisters?

“Heh, who knows where this playboy carrot⌈¹⌋ found these girls!” Zhao Yanyan snorted.

After that she turned angrily at me and said, “Say it, what is it about that Chen Weier?”

“I just said it randomly…” I quickly explained.

“That’s not right? Why do I remember her as the third on the school beauty leaderboard?” Zhao Yanyan pretended to think and said.

She asking even though she knows it already? She really wasn’t giving me any face, I change the topic in a hurry, “Why are the two of you together?”

“We’ve gotten along the entire time! You haven’t been to the lesson much ever since you won that prize in Yanjing, Ruoyun meimei then joined, and sat beside me, on your original seat,” hearing Yanyan explain, I noticed that I almost completely forgot about Shao Nian Gong.

“Oh yeah, Liu Lei, why are you so good in computing? I thought you only know how to exaggerate at the start!” Xu Ruoyun said to me.

“Oh… about this, hehe,” I answered perfunctorily, was I supposed to tell her I learnt it in my previous life?

“Also, I heard Yanyan-jie say that you made that Shuguang input method? But how can you, a student write such a perfect input method?” Xu Ruoyun said as if she was going to find out till the end.

“…” I was speechless, was this chick here to investigate me?

“Sorry, excuse me!” A girl holding a bouquet of flowers walked towards us, I let out a sigh of relief. Her arrival could also count as helping me out of this situation, or else god knows what this Xu Ruoyun chick was going to pester me about.

“Beautiful lady, a Mr. Liu asked us to give this to you, he wants to say to you that he will love for you an entire life!” The flower-bearing girl said it all in one breath.

However Zhao Yanyan, Xu Ruoyun and I stood there dumbfounded.

“Miss, why aren’t you accepting it?” The flower-bearing girl saw that the expressions of our faces were very weird, but she didn’t say anything wrong? What’s with the three of them?

The flower-bearing girl didn’t say anything wrong, but she was saying it to the wrong target! At that moment, she was holding the bouquet of flowers out to Xu Ruoyun.

Xu Ruoyun looked at me with a flushed face, receiving it wasn’t right, not receiving it wasn’t right either, at that moment the two people stood stiffly there.

“Hahahaha!” Zhao Yanyan was the first that reacted by laughing, and said laughingly and elegantly to Xu Ruoyun, “Ruoyun-meimei, this is all goodwill from Liu Lei, just accept it quickly, haha!”

“AIya! Yanyan-jie don’t laugh at me anymore, this flower is for you!” Ruoyun said with a red face.

At that moment, the flower-bearing girl finally understood, she was presenting it to the wrong target, and immediately bowed her head, and continuously apologized.

“Never mind,” I said awkwardly, “Xu Ruoyun, just keep the flowers.”

Xu Ruoyun looked at me, then looked at Zhao Yanyan, and after seeing the latter smile and nod, she received the flowers shyly.

Suddenly, Xu Ruoyun’s heart wavered, what’s with me, this liar definitely wants to confuse me with flowers! I won’t fall for it, I have to continue to dig out his secrets, and poke a hole through this liar’s ploy!

Thinking to this point, Xu Ruoyun clenched her fists, and silently took the flowers in her hands.

Of course, I didn’t know anything about this. Just having the flower-bearing girl cause such a fiasco, the three of us became a lot more intimate. Xu Ruoyun didn’t appear that constrained in front of me, and started getting high with Zhao Yanyan.

Originally it was a good lover’s world, but was not destroyed by Xu Ruoyun. Although this chick was pretty, I could still sense a sliver of hostility, which made me alert about getting close to this chick. Another thing was that Xu Ruoyun was full of hostility towards me before, but why was she so fine with things this time? Of course I wouldn’t be an idiot and think that Xu Ruoyun fell in love with me, I don’t think that I was that charming. Ploy, there must be a ploy here! But what kind of ploy would a little chick have?

In the afternoon, I was dragged all over the place by the two chicks, and accompanied them on the pirate ship, roller coaster, flume ride, even though I was full of stamina, I still ended up very tired by the two. What caused me to be unable to stand it was that the two chicks actually placed their backpacks over my shoulders, a bouquet of flowers were still in my hands, everyone I passed by looked at me weirdly!

Finally just as I was about to burst, the two chicks finished all the events and rides in the cultural park.

When Zhao Yanyan wanted to ride the jet coaster once again, I finally was unable to keep up, and fell onto the floor with a ‘dang’. That scared the two girls, causing them to start pinching and search for my pulse, but I just didn’t wake up. Actually I was fine, I just couldn’t stand the suffering.

“Yanyan-jie, what happened to him?” Xu Ruoyun asked anxiously.

“I don’t know, he was fine just now,” Zhao Yanyan didn’t know what to do either.

“I heard that people that fainted requires artificial respiration right?” Xu Ruoyun spoke about the little bit of medical knowledge that she had.

Zhao Yanyan hesitated a bit, then finally dipped her head, and pressed it against my lips…

“That’s right! Two hundred thousand,” I nodded, and said assuredly.

Chen Yong started believing me a bit, but still shook his head to see if he was hallucinating.

“You can buy a life with so much money, you’r still going to buy my meimei’s… that and sleep with her? And we can ask you for more if it’s not enough? Bro you’re not sick are you?” Chen Yong was shocked, from his perspective if I didn’t have any mental issues, then I just had nowhere to spend my money.

“Say if it you agree, screw it if you don’t, where did all these b̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲ come from!” I said impatiently.

“Agree, agree, of course I agree! When do you want my meimei?” Chen Yong said eagerly. From his point of view, the earlier he gave his meimei to me, the earlier he could get his father cured.

“I’ll give you the money in a moment, but I don’t want you meimei now. How about this, treat this money as a deposit for your meimei’s virginity, go back and tell her that she has to keep her body for me, I’ll naturally go and take it whenever I want it. If she found someone she truly likes before that, come and tell me, we can dispel our contract anytime. However I will give the money just the same!” I only did this because I didn’t want Chen Weier to sell herself to someone else, but I didn’t want love that was bought. Although I think that I do quite like Chen Weier, but I also wanted her to give herself over to me willingly, and not with this method.

“Ah!” Chen Yong was completely dumbfounded, this was clearly just giving him money for free, that attached condition was essentially nonexistent. After a while, Chen Yong finally slowly stood up, and slowly kneeled down on the floor, and said with a face full of tears, “Bro, I, Chen Yong will always remember your kindness! I won’t say too many words of thanks, I, Chen Yong, is willing to be an ox and a horse for you this entire life!”

“Okay! Men shouldn’t easily cry, men have gold underneath their knees, you broke these two rules together! Follow me to the bank to get money,” I reached out and pulled up Chen Yong, who was kneeling on the ground.

Chen Yong honestly stood up, and laughed like an idiot a bit. I got the waiter over to pay the bill, and went with Chen Yong to the bank.

The industrial bank was near Fourth High, I had placed the thirteen million from Intel and Seagate in there for convenience at the time.

“Withdraw two hundred thousand,” I handed my deposit book over to the counter.

“We don’t have that much, a reservation must be made when it’s above fifty thousand, you can’t withdraw now!” The clerk said without raising her head.

“I have urgent matters!” I said sullenly, what kind of service attitude was this.

“You can’t no matter what! Those that are lining up, next!” The clerk stopped talking to me, and begun to handle the next transaction.

“Bring your branch manager over!” I withheld my anger. What reservation, why did I hear about this! I don’t believe that a bank doesn’t even have two hundred thousand in cash for backup.

“The branch manager is not here!” The clerk answered casually.

“Is there anyone that treats a customer like you?” I was really mad, and slammed my hand down onto the counter.

“Guards, there’s someone causing trouble!” The clerk shouted.

Several guards wearing green military uniforms immediately rushed over and surrounded me, the leader asked, “Who is causing trouble?”

Before I said anything, that clerk already said, “This person! This child, he is causing trouble!”

“What are you all doing?” A middle-aged man wearing a suit walked over.

“Branch Manager Zhang,” The clerk and the guards all greeted.

“What happened?” Branch Manager Zhang asked.

“I came to withdrawn money, but this clerk told me that you don’t have money! The bank doesn’t have money? Is this a joke?” I laughed coldly.

“Could you please tell me how much would you like to withdraw?” Branch Manager Zhang asked.

“Two hundred thousand, but I changed my mind, I want to close my account! Your bank’s service attitude is too terrible,” I threw my deposit book over to Branch Manager Zhang.

Branch Manager Zhang took over the deposit book, opened it to have a look and immediately went dumb. Thirteen million, he immediately understood that the kid in front of him wasn’t a normal person. Furthermore this account was opened at their branch, such a large saving would like to close their account, his end of year bonus was definitely going down the drawn.

Branch Manager Zhang immediately acted like a different person, and toadied, “Little bro, what the clerk did was just her own action, and is not related to our bank, how about this, I will immediately help you change to a VIP card, you don’t need to queue up in the future, and can directly do your business at the VIP counter on the side. This time you want to withdraw two hundred thousand right, I’ll personally help you process it, please wait a moment.”

I was just scaring him just now when I said I wanted to close my account, if I really closed it I then would have to move this large sum of money to another bank, that would be too troublesome for me. Since this Branch Manager Zhang knew how to act, then I shouldn’t say any more.

The efficiency of a branch manager was really quite, within a minute, two hundred thousand in cash and a VIP card were directly placed into my hands. I handed the cash to Chen Yong, and reminded him to be careful on the way.

Under Branch Manager Zhang’s farewell, we left the Industrial Bank. Before I left, I stopped Chen Yong, “Oh yeah, don’t tell anyone about my identity, especially your meimei. Or else I will immediately cease the deal between us.”

Chen Yong hugged the huge bag of money and kept nodding.

“Ge, you said you brought two hundred thousand back?” Chen Weier looked at Chen Yong in surprise.

“Yes! I sold you to someone else,” Chen Yong answered honestly.

Thus he told Chen Weier about reserving her virginity, he just said a CEO of a company paid, and will take responsibility till the end.

However my latter sentence of “if she met someone she truly likes” was automatically filtered by Chen Yong. From his point of view, I was already his benefactor, and if his own meimei could really be with this benefactor, that will also be meimei’s fortune.

I didn’t expect that Chen Yong’s automatic filtering action will cause me quite a bit of annoyance in the future.

Chen Weier didn’t react much after hearing that, and instead got a bit curious about this CEO who reserved her with two hundred thousand. He hasn’t even met her, yet he was willing to throw out so much money? What’s more was that he just reserved it, wasn’t he scared of he going back on the deal once her father’s sickness was cured? What kind of person was this?

And take responsibility till the end? Two hundred thousand was already an astronomical number to her, but this wasn’t enough, that CEO actually said that could ask for more if it was not enough, who exactly was this person?

He paid her so much, just to buy her first night? Even Chen Weier couldn’t really believe it, how could she have sold for so much? This was like a fairy tale.

However, looking at the real cash in Chen Yong’s hands, Chen Weier couldn’t not believe the truth in front of her eyes. This money wasn’t fake, with this money, her father’s sickness…
