Returning to university, starting with confessing to his ex-wife, his counselor.

"You son of a bitch, Tony Leung, stop pretending to be asleep and get up and keep drinking!"

In a daze, Liang Chao heard someone calling him. With a sway, the intense feeling of weightlessness subsided rapidly, and the tearing pain in his internal organs disappeared instantly.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

[Chen Zihao?]

[Ha~ I actually saw Chen Zihao. Am I really dead?]

Looking at the skinny man with acne-covered face in front of him, Liang Chao forced a bitter smile.

Chen Zihao, a native of Jinxi Coal City, was the college roommate of his who died in the first year after graduation.

The reason was that after graduation, he returned to the coal-producing city and stayed at his girlfriend's house at her invitation.

The day after he moved in, he triggered the "male kill line" and was sued by his girlfriend.

Despite Chen Zihao's mother providing evidence that the woman had repeatedly sent WeChat messages saying "[Xiaohao, I miss you so much]" during her detention, it still couldn't change the outcome of her two years and nine months in custody.

During his probation, Chen Zihao had a moment of despair and drank some beverage that was supposed to ensure the crops would grow normally.

"Ah Hao... Holy crap!!!"

It was a rare treat to see an acquaintance in the underworld, and Liang Chao was quite happy. He wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but as he stood up, his body suddenly went limp.

--boom!

After a dizzying moment, he slammed his right cheek into the floor again.

Ding--

At the same time, a tinkling sound rang out, like a summer wind chime from a distant memory, its sound crisp and melodious.

Actually, you like yourself more from many years ago. He was braver than you, had fewer regrets, and believed more than you. But time, it's not impossible to turn back.

[The spring breeze has its own tender feelings for the flowers, granting you a youthful spirit once more! Congratulations, host, you have successfully loaded the Perfect Life System.]

"system?"

Liang Chao remained motionless, his face turned to the side, staring intently at the small characters on the floor, his heart pounding.

He considered a possibility—could it be that I didn't die, but...was reborn?

"Holy crap! Liang Chao, what's wrong with you? Move around! You...you're not dead, are you?!"

A sharp, explosive sound rang in Liang Chao's ears, pulling him back to reality.

"Class monitor! Class monitor! Counselor! Come quick! Liang Chao is in trouble! I can't move him no matter what I do!"

Just as he was about to get up, he heard Chen Zihao shouting anxiously in his hoarse voice.

Almost instantly, all the students who weren't drunk gathered around in the dining hall where the class had their get-together.

Some stood, some squatted, and they formed a circle around Liang Chao.

She didn't say anything, just stared "straight" at the boy on the floor who had his eyes open but wasn't moving.

Seeing those familiar faces and considering his surroundings, Liang Chao finally realized when he had been reborn.

—September 21, 2013, shortly after military training ended, the third day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

That was the night of the class's first get-together!

"Students, what are you all doing gathered here?"

While he was in a daze, a crisp, tender voice suddenly rang out, which Liang Chao found very, very familiar.

"counselor!"

"Hello, Teacher Yang!"

The congested crowd spontaneously parted to make way, and Liang Chao turned his gaze, then froze, completely motionless. It was as if even his heartbeat and breath had been detached from his body with the appearance of that person.

She was a beautiful older sister... whom he couldn't rate!

It was what he had been thinking about day and night...

"Alright! Liang is fine, everyone can disperse!"

The newcomer glanced at the student on the ground, and seeing that he didn't seem to be in any danger, he puffed out his cheeks and let out a sigh of relief.

She was tall, about 1.72 meters, and wore a beige long dress. She had a distant and aloof demeanor, giving off a cold and unapproachable vibe.

But when she opened her mouth, it was a loli voice...

"Did someone just take a picture? Delete it!! We're all classmates, no taking pictures of other people making fools of themselves!" Suddenly, she straightened her face and tried to look serious.

However, because her voice is so tender and crisp, even when she's angry, it sounds like she's being coquettish.

Under the bright lights, Yang Shuxi stood with her hands on her hips, blocking Liang Chao's way. A cool breeze blew in through the door, ruffling her bangs, like a beam of starlight being crushed and scattered by her fingers.

Inside the restaurant lobby, pairs of eyes unconsciously darted away, yet couldn't help stealing glances at her.

Real-world universities are not like those in novels; they don't have those cringe-worthy titles like "department beauty" or "campus beauty."

But some girls always make people unable to resist stealing glances, and then glances again, and countless glances.

"Still not admitting it?"

The crisp, tender voice rang out again, and the boys' expressions shifted slightly. They glanced at Liang Chao, who was still lying on the ground, and hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.

No, why didn't we think of pretending to be drunk?

Damn it! Liang Chao, that bastard!

Led by Chen Zihao, the group of animals deleted Liang Chao's "handle" in front of the counselor, then dispersed in distress, their expressions even more unpleasant than Chi Leshi's.

Seeing this, Ms. Yang, who was a counselor for the first time, breathed a long sigh of relief.

Is this the dignity of a teacher?

Sure enough, I was born to be a teacher!

Yang Shuxi unconsciously raised her chin, feeling a little happy.

Then he bent down, propped himself up on his knees, looked at the students on the ground, and said gently.

"Liang Chao, are you alright? Do you need me to help you?"

Seeing the boy remain silent, staring blankly at her as if he had lost his soul, Yang Shuxi couldn't help but frown.

She stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of the boy.

"Liang Chao, what's wrong with you... oh my god~~"

Yang Shuxi gasped in surprise when her delicate, fair hand was grabbed.

Just as she was about to reprimand him, the boy on the ground suddenly sat up, threw himself into her arms, and exclaimed.

"Sister! Waaah~"

"!!!"

The sudden embrace startled Yang Shuxi, who blinked, somewhat bewildered.

After realizing what had happened, her face flushed red instantly.

Oh no! We've run into a traitor!

Yang Shuxi panicked and immediately tried to push the traitor away.

"That won't do!"

"Liang Chao, please calm down!"

She was at a loss when, unexpectedly, the "traitor" left her chest on his own.

He looked up and said something.

"Wife~~"

Upon hearing this, Yang Shuxi's brain went blank for a few seconds.

"You...you just...what did you just call me?" she stammered, doubting whether she had misheard!

"..."

Upon hearing these two words, Liang Chao himself was dumbfounded.

He didn't dare to reply, glanced around, and lowered his head guiltily.

Upon seeing this, Yang Shuxi's heart skipped a beat.

Twisting his neck, he slowly turned his head.

In the quiet hall, there were more than a hundred students and teachers from three classes. Their expressions were different, but their actions were surprisingly consistent—they pricked up their ears and put down their chopsticks.

Yang Shuxi: "!!!"
