Chapter 1, Life Rewind

"What does your pregnancy have to do with me?" Zhang Hehuan blurted out without a second thought

His mother had long been deceased. Fifteen years ago, while on vacation aboard a private jet, his family encountered a tropical storm and perished. Only he survived, having been fortunate enough not to be traveling with them.

First, I went to the newsstand at the entrance of my home to buy a copy of today's "Pengcheng Daily" and inquired about the location of the ventilation station.

After fifteen years, as the sole legal heir, he inherited the entire family fortune, becoming the youngest billionaire in Asia.

Zhang Hehuan watched as the motorcycle sped away, leaving her with nothing but a blank stare.

What business is it of yours

Have you finished drinking it

As the two walked into the scorching July, Zhang Hehuan was experiencing such disdain for the first time in his life. Until today, countless women had eagerly sought to marry him, attempting to achieve financial freedom by bearing his offspring, as numerous as fish crossing a river.

Who are you

A middle-aged woman with disheveled hair glared at him fiercely. Seeing his reaction, she rushed over and slapped him again: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and get to work!"

Zhang Heyue extended her small hand painted with black nail polish and said, "When will you pay me back the one hundred yuan you owe?"

There is no time to contemplate life, as he pushes his bicycle with a gas cylinder to the gas station to exchange gas. He is still unclear about the situation, but one thing is certain: the current economic conditions of the family are indeed very strained

Zhang Heyue rolled her eyes, seemingly unwilling to engage with him

It is now 1 PM, and he has decided to take a trip, curious about what the woman who could hurt him looks like

Zhang Hehuan, warm and fragrant, embraced with a full heart, found it somewhat amusing and exasperating: "Please don't be too moved, I am not doing this for you..." Before the words were finished, she was pushed onto the bed by Lin Ran.

Zhang Heyue was just about to argue with her when a punk with dyed yellow hair rode over on a roaring Honda motorcycle, coming to Zhang Heyue's side: "Xiaoyue, let's go, Brother Mao will take you out to have some fun"

Zhang Hehuan handed over her identification card

When paying, he counted his wallet and found that he only had thirty-five yuan in total. He found his ID card and deduced from the date on the newspaper that he was not yet twenty-one years old. There was also a black Centurion card from American Express inside. He immediately felt happy, as if there was still hope. However, it wasn't long before he calmed down; the world had changed, and he wondered if this card could still be used

Zhang Hehuan turned her face and shamelessly said: "Wife, your ID card!"

His younger sister, Zhang Heyue, is starting her third year of high school, and his older sister, Zhang Hexin, is also in Pengcheng. She lost her job two years ago and opened a small eatery. As for his father, Zhang Jiacheng, he hasn't heard his mother mention him; could it be that he has really passed away? Zhang Hehuan finished a large bowl of hand-pulled noodles amidst his mother's nagging and, under the urging of his flip-flops, completed the household chores of scrubbing pots and pans, washing dishes, wiping the table, and sweeping the floor.

Zhang Heyue climbed onto the car without a second thought, and Zhang Hehuan called out: "Where are you going?"

You need not be afraid, I have no intention of entangling you. Accompany me to the hospital, let us resolve this matter, and then we shall go our separate ways. In fact, Lin Ran is more concerned that Zhang Hehuan might cling to her.

Home!

Lin Ran stared at him in astonishment, which quickly transformed into anger as she gritted her teeth and said: "Zhang Hehuan, are you denying the things you have done yourself?"

"Hey, how are you speaking, girl?"

Zhang Hehuan blinked, feeling somewhat wronged in her heart. How could I not remember having done anything to you?

Zhang Hehuan then confirmed that the person who had made the appointment with her was indeed herself, and thus walked over, sitting down opposite Lin Ran to closely observe this suddenly appeared unfamiliar ex-girlfriend

Lin Ran and Zhang He Huan are high school classmates. Having known each other for so many years, this is the first time she has seen Zhang He Huan being so generous. It seems that Zhang He Huan truly loves her and wants to restore their relationship in this way. Unfortunately, it is too late; she will not turn back.

Lin Ran gazed at him with a dazed expression in her eyes

Zhang Hehuan pinched herself again, it truly is not a dream

As soon as the two individuals became entangled, Lin Ran's phone began to ring. When she reached out to grab the phone, her wrist was seized by Zhang Hehuan

He stared wide-eyed as if he had seen a ghost, and then he slapped himself hard.

The other party fell silent for a moment, and after a while finally said: "Did you not block me?"

You! You dumped me? Zhang Hehuan is getting closer to the truth, this is a completely new experience, as he used to be the one who dumped others

Lin Ran suddenly pushed him away and hurriedly ran towards the restroom

Have we offended you in any way?

"Stop dawdling, hurry up and change the gas!" Liu Yunsi turned around and continued to hang her clothes out to dry

I asked you why you are dressed like this

Zhang Hehuan's bathrobe was torn open, and Lin Ran's face was pressed against his sturdy chest: "Hehuan, thank you for still being willing to do so much for me, I am sorry."

Is this it

The two individuals gazed at each other, both feeling quite frustrated and helpless. The heavens may bring unforeseen storms, and people may encounter fortunes or misfortunes at any moment. This is the reality.

Zhang Hehuan, feeling agitated, initially intended to pursue the perpetrator, but was dissuaded by Lin Ran

Zhang Hehuan recognized that the middle-aged woman before him was his mother, Liu Yunsi

He was completely bewildered, truly a sight to behold

We need to hurry to the hospital, otherwise we will be too late

Mom

Lin Ran once again confirmed that as long as she is with him, she will be unlucky, and the words "Zhang He Huan" and "good fortune" have no connection whatsoever

Lin Ran looked at him in astonishment, can he not have any shame? How many times has he preferred to take her into a small grove just to save a little money on the hotel? He is so stingy, Lin Ran is growing increasingly disgusted with this man, who possesses a handsome appearance but lacks any manliness in his actions

... ...

Zhang Hehuan pointed to the Hilton across the street

As the president of Star Domain Media, there should not be too many female stars vying for affection

What more do you want? I have also given you opportunities; it is you who have not made the effort.

"Go on pretending, I am Lin Ran." The other party was clearly angry.

Zhang Hehuan took out his Centurion card, and the front desk manager's eyes lit up. One should not judge a book by its cover; this scruffy young man must be a second-generation rich kid

The midday sun was so blinding that he could not open his eyes, and before he could adjust to the light outside, he felt a slap on the back of his head

Lin Ran pointed to the Home Inn ahead, looking at Zhang Hehuan, clearly seeking his consent. Her intention was quite simple; she just wanted to find a place to take a shower and clean her clothes.

Where is it? Please send me a location.

Zhang Hehuan suddenly recalled his wish at the Wealth List Forum last night. He said that if heaven granted him an opportunity, he would use all his wealth, even at the cost of his life, to ensure the safety of his family. He spoke with great emotion, earning applause from the audience. Could it be that all the wishes he made have turned into reality

Lin Ran nodded, took something out of her bag and handed it to him. Zhang He Huan initially thought it was a stirring stick and almost inserted it into the coffee cup, but was timely stopped by Lin Ran. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pregnancy test stick

Lin Ran shook her head to indicate that it was unnecessary; given her current physical condition, there was no need for that, and she also knew that Zhang Hehuan did not like it either

You come out for a while

Zhang Hehuan is not someone like Liu Xiaohui who remains unperturbed in the face of temptation. Lin Ran is originally his girlfriend, and she is genuinely moved by him. She intends to bid farewell in a way that is both profound and simple. Zhang Hehuan decides to indulge her nostalgia while also tapping into his memories, reaching out to grab a paid Durex from the bedside.

The receptionist scrutinized him, noting that there were not many visitors dressed like him. She then glanced at Lin Ran, who was bowing her head behind him, and said, "Both of your identification cards need to be registered"

Do you still consider yourself a brother? Don't you have any shame?

Upon returning home, I was met with a barrage of nagging from my mother. From her incessant remarks, I learned that I am a recent graduate from the School of Media at Pengcheng Normal University. I did not pass the postgraduate entrance examination this year and am currently unemployed at home

The room is somewhat stuffy, and the ceiling fan is struggling to rotate.

You listen to my explanation

He hung up the phone, opened his mobile phone, and could not find the WeChat app at all. Suddenly, he remembered that it was 2011, and WeChat had just been launched and had not yet become popular. It would not be until two years later that it would become a sensation. However, there was a QQ app on the phone. After several attempts, he found that the password was incorrect. Zhang Hehuan decided to give up. In his past life, he had never known the meaning of effort.

Zhang Hehuan's life rewind unfolded in the smoky atmosphere of the shantytown

Zhang Hehuan was stunned by this slap; it seems that no one in his memory dared to treat him, the overbearing CEO, in such a manner

I felt that the features were almost nine-tenths familiar, and upon closer inspection, wasn't this his own sister, Zhang Heyue? Thus, I pushed the cart and walked over.

Sir, would you prefer to pay in cash or by card

Zhang Hehuan has already entered, and Lin Ran can only brace herself and follow.

Upon realizing this, he began to feel that something was amiss, completely amiss! Wasn't he supposed to be on his own luxury yacht?

Upon answering the phone, a pleasant female voice came through the receiver: "Zhang Hehuan, where are you?"

Who are you

"Is it just about eating and sleeping? Can you not aspire to something greater as an adult?"

Lin Ran's face was slightly flushed: "I think I might be pregnant..."

Zhang Hehuan's head throbbed painfully, as if a strange soul had been forced into a strange body after a hangover. He struggled to crawl out of the narrow bed. This small room was too dilapidated; the lead-gray cement floor was somewhat damp, the white walls were yellowing, and there was some mold at the base of the walls. The walls were adorned with autographs of numerous female stars, more than half of whom were familiar faces.

The nearest liquefied gas station is also two kilometers away from his home. Zhang Hehuan made a phone call, requesting that the liquefied gas be delivered directly to the newsstand, for which he paid an additional five yuan as a delivery fee.

Zhang Hehuan waited for her to come out before going in himself. After taking a shower, he emerged wearing a bathrobe and saw that Lin Ran had not yet changed her clothes. She was standing by the window, gazing at the street view outside, her figure in the bathrobe appearing somewhat enchanting.

Lin Ran quickly took out her ID card and handed it over, then hurriedly escaped to the waiting area. She could no longer bear the gaze of outsiders; if she were to become this person's wife, she would never be able to hold her head high for the rest of her life

Zhang Hehuan looked around and saw a girl in the distance wearing a white baseball cap, a red T-shirt, and jeans, gazing back at him. She had straight hair, a fair complexion, large eyes, and a good figure. According to his strict scoring criteria, she seemed to score around 80 points. As their eyes met, noticing that Zhang Hehuan did not react much, she could only wave at him.

The Wanda Plaza in the East District is conveniently located on Line 1 of the subway. Having taken the subway only a handful of times in my life, I exited the station and successfully found Starbucks. I pushed the door open and stepped inside, where the air conditioning was strong and the aroma of coffee beans wafted through the air

What do you need from me

I know I am sorry for you, but I cannot bind my future to someone like you who lacks ambition, and your family's circumstances...

Just as they were lost in thought, a small car suddenly passed by them, its wheels rolling over a puddle of wastewater, splattering mud everywhere. The two individuals, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, had no time to dodge and were both splashed with foul-smelling dirty water.

Lin Ran's eyes were wide open, and his mouth was agape. Is he pretending to be sincere, or has he genuinely had a change of heart? Given his usual behavior, he wouldn't actually let himself go Dutch, would he

As soon as my mother left, his phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number

Lin Ran had prepared two cups of coffee in advance, one of which was for him. Zhang Hehuan picked it up and took a sip; the cappuccino was a bit sweet, and he preferred black coffee. It seemed that this nominal ex-girlfriend lacked an understanding of him.

Zhang Hehuan habitually rubbed his hair, got out of bed, and approached the old-fashioned three-door wardrobe. Squinting, he gazed at the mirror in the center. The person in the mirror was indeed himself, but he appeared significantly younger, with his small belly mysteriously vanished, replaced by well-defined abdominal muscles

The date on the newspaper is July 17, 2011, proving that he has indeed returned fifteen years into the past. He currently resides in Pengcheng, Pingjiang Province, where Zhang Hehuan's ancestral home is located. However, his family has moved to Huhai since his grandfather's generation, so he does not have a profound impression of this city. This time, not only has his life regressed, but the social context has also completely changed. He must have returned to a parallel world from fifteen years ago.

The pain serves as proof that one is not dreaming. After calming my shocked emotions, I found a set of cheap clothes from an old wardrobe and put them on. On the bedside was a cracked Coolpad phone, and next to it was a canvas wallet, which I stuffed into the pocket of my baggy shorts. With a feeling of unease, I opened the door.

Lin Ran suddenly turned around and ran over, throwing herself into his arms, holding him tightly; after all, five years of being in love still held feelings.

Without waiting for him to explain, Lin Ran took off her bathrobe, her pale body shining brightly.

Zhang Hehuan nodded, stood up, and was still prepared to take responsibility for the impulsiveness of youth, intending to accompany her to the hospital. A man must never back down on matters of principle, but the key issue is why he has no recollection of the events at all

What business is it of yours?

"You are really stingy. I know I have hurt you, but... sigh, you came out this time because there is something very important I need to discuss with you in person. At 2:00 PM, I will be waiting for you at the Starbucks in Wanda Plaza, East District."

Mother went to my sister's shop to help in the afternoon, letting him fend for himself

Lin Ran sighed, not wanting to waste any more time on this topic

I am your brother

When did that happen? He truly does not remember borrowing money.

Zhang Hehuan transferred the liquefied gas cylinder onto his car and, while pushing his bicycle home, noticed a heavily made-up young girl looking at him with cold eyes. He thought to himself that this girl was dressed in a rather tacky manner, resembling a salon worker.

His life has reset, returning to fifteen years ago overnight, but it should not have been like this fifteen years ago. The villa has turned into a dilapidated house, and his mother has transformed from an elegant and refined lady into a strong-willed housewife

Upon entering the room, Lin Ran first went to take a shower

The standard is somewhat low

Zhang Hehuan was somewhat agitated; he indeed needed to relieve some stress in a certain way and prove to this era that he had returned

Lin Ran bit her lip, and the words "I will pay" were about to slip out.

Zhang Hehuan actually felt a bit anxious, unsure if this card could still be used. After the pre-authorization was successful, he finally felt relieved, took the room card, and brought Lin Ran to the hotel supermarket to swipe the card and purchase two outfits.

I know that we have broken up, but breaking up does not mean that you can be irresponsible

can
