Traditional views on marriage are no longer the choice for everyone, and the number of people who respect their own heart, choose not to marry, and choose not to have children is gradually increasing.

While finding someone you deeply love and who will stay faithfully with you until old age remains the aspiration and choice for most people, more and more are realizing that before meeting the right person or facing the mundane realities of married life, family is no longer the sole focus of their lives. Work, career, and hobbies are gradually playing a more important role in their lives.

So, given today's complex society and busy lifestyle, is marriage and having children the right choice? Is it a lifestyle suitable for everyone?

"I'm still anxious, after all, this is the last year."

“...I see...because it’s third grade now…” Chizuru nodded, then looked at Lin Yan very sincerely.

Lin Yan seemed to understand.

After all, this is the final year of the experiment, and whether or not things can be changed depends entirely on this year. What will the outcome be?

Does everyone live a happy life?

The regret continues...

Life is full of helplessness.

this is life.

"I'm really sorry to have stopped you here. I should go back now."

"Um...can I have your phone?"

"You...you've completely bewildered by this sudden threat..."

"That's not what I meant. You can fill in the gaps in what I didn't say. You're not a primary school student anymore."

"What!?"

"Anyway... I mean, could you please give me your phone number? I mean, I want to be friends with you. A lonely woman with no friends is trying to take that first step."

"This is such a simple thing... please figure it out yourself!"

"You're really stupid!"

I'm so sorry I didn't get it!

"However, if you speak your mind clearly like this, you won't cause any misunderstandings, and I don't think anyone will reject you!"

"It's great that you can say it!" Lin Yan subconsciously patted Himawari Chizuru's head, then suddenly realized that the person in front of him was an adult of similar age or even slightly older than him. How could he treat her like a child?

"!"

Hyuga Chizuru immediately slapped Lin Yan's hand away. Her face turned slightly red, and she seemed a little embarrassed. How cute!

"Idiot, please don't treat others as idiots."

"These are things that can't be said out loud..."

"Let's make a trade!"

"Oh! Sorry!" Lin Yan let go of Himawari Chizuru's hand, seemingly a little embarrassed. After all, it had been a long time since he had been in contact with the opposite sex, let alone a girl. He never expected to be so nervous; it was quite rare for him.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry for grabbing your hand so suddenly! Because at my previous school, if a cell phone was found, it would be confiscated immediately! So I was thinking that it would be troublesome if it were found! I just wanted to help you cover your phone... um..." Chizuru Himera smiled and nodded.

Lin Yan smiled as well.

The other person finally laughed.

It's still a normal smile. It seems that no human being is incapable of smiling; it's just that people's smiles become so restrained when they're nervous.

"After talking to you, I've found you to be a very interesting person!"

You just managed to laugh!

"Oh, really?" Before long, the two were able to communicate smoothly. In fact, people like Lin Yan are very good at getting along with others.

Lin Yan possesses such beauty.

……

Several hours had passed since Lin Yan parted ways with Chizuru Himeragi, and he had already written his self-criticism. He looked out the window listlessly.

Peaceful daily life.

A peaceful world.

At the same time, Ye Mingliao also recorded the day's 'performance'.

[The person in charge of the Rebirth Experiment Report is Ye Mingliao, and the subject is Lin Yan]

April 8th

The opening ceremony finally arrived. It was Lin Yan's first day of school.

I clearly gave him the calendar.

However, he did not do any prior confirmation, which suggests that his mindset was somewhat lacking.

On the first day, I was not only flustered because of the exam, but I even forgot to bring my stationery.

He decisively took this plan as an introduction to obtain a year's living expenses and a job opportunity.

Although he himself wanted to get through the year peacefully and quietly,

But it was very noticeable from the first day of class.

“I’m writing a report right now. I really admire how you can have such a pleasant conversation with someone you’re meeting for the first time and who is much older than you.”

"Huh? I already said that at noon! I'm not happy at all. I'm so tired! It's normal to talk to someone in this situation, right? Just let it happen, just let it happen!"

"Many people can't chat so naturally. You're amazing!"

"...What are you doing... It's disgusting..." Lin Yan was really not used to Ye Mingliao's behavior sometimes. He was a normal man, but Ye Mingliao's perverse sense of humor was really hard to fathom, especially his ever-changing personality.

Sometimes he just acts like a little kid who loves to watch the drama unfold.

"You even exchanged phone numbers with your classmate, Nidai, after school!"

"You saw it?" Lin Yan was really annoyed. Was this guy really that gossipy? Did he have to ask about something like this?

This is private space.

However, it's not certain that there will be no private space.

"So you really do like that type—"

"She asked me for her phone number first!!" Lin Yan wasn't going to panic over something like this, but he didn't want to argue with the guy in front of him any longer.

He didn't want to delve into this world.

Including Chizuru Hitsuro.

Chizuru Himeragi has her own life to live, while Lin Yan is someone who will leave this world sooner or later. That's probably what he thought back then too. If he can spend this period of his life peacefully in this world, that would be the best ending for him.

"Still being stubborn~ You were clearly holding her hand..." Ye Ming said with a mischievous grin, his eyes narrowed, as if he was still enjoying the gossip.

He had been watching many entertaining shows, but he never expected this experiment to be just as interesting.

Moreover, the man before him seemed more interesting than any of the previous test subjects.

Is it Chizuru Himeshiro?

Whether she can change may also depend on the man in front of her; he should be a man with such charm, without a doubt.

Lin Yan just thought this guy really deserved a beating.

However, he might also be an interesting guy.

In the future, life might be boring without an interesting person, so let's play a fun game instead.

"Just try to be friends with her more!"

"……oh?"

“I was in the same class as her last year, and she always seemed to be alone. So seeing you two together after school today gave me a sense of peace, and I was quite happy.”

Ye Ming was still very serious at this moment, and you couldn't tell at all that he was the guy who looked like a scoundrel onlooker just now.

As expected of Yoru Akira.

However, in Lin Yan's opinion, Ye Mingliao was nothing more than a naive person.

But Ye Mingle can never truly fathom his inner thoughts.

"Hiyo's smile is very rare. It's amazing that you were able to see it on the first day."

"Oh……"

Every time Lin Yan thought of Hyuga Chizuru's smile, he felt a warmth in his heart. No matter how introverted or difficult a person may be, their heart may be the softest. Therefore, he was willing to lend a helping hand and help Hyuga Chizuru fulfill her wish.

So, what is Chizuru Himeragi's true wish?

Is her true wish really to integrate into society? Is it really just to get along well with other people? Is that really all there is to it? What will happen between her and Chizuru Himuro in the time to come?

Lin Yan had slightly higher expectations for this.

Although he knew the identities of these experimenters and the final outcome, every step he took within the process was unique, a completely different experience from reading a book as an unrelated reader—it was special.

"Mr. Lin Yan!? Are you alright?"

"……Um……"

"Then keep up the good work on this experiment from tomorrow onwards."

"Oh, oh..." Lin Yan hung up the phone and received a text message from Chizuru Himawari. The message was sent via "LIME", which is equivalent to WeChat.

"Thank you for your help all this time. I'm a Japanese proxy. Thank you for your help today. I will definitely return the 1,000 yen I borrowed from you tomorrow. Please continue to guide me in the future."

It's a very formal message format, somewhat like a colleague with professional interactions, both in terms of wording and tone. It doesn't sound like a high school student at all, which makes sense since Chizuru Himeragi is an adult who has entered the workforce.

Not only that, there's also an adorable cat emoji for chatting, which looks quite cute and doesn't seem like the serious and unsmiling style of Chizuru Hishiro at all.

It actually creates a kind of endearing contrast.

"Don't worry about the money. I should be thanking you. I was quite uneasy when I first transferred here, and I'm very happy that you asked about my phone number. By the way, this 'awkward cat' sticker looks a bit like you?"

Lin Yan hadn't used this kind of chat software to communicate with other people for a long time, so he couldn't help but feel a bit rusty.

0014 Paranoia [Please Subscribe]

He remembered using similar chat software in his original world back in 2010, when he was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Counting the time in this other world, has his original world already reached 2020? That's twelve years.

So, he must be twenty-seven years old.

"Meow~"

Here's another adorable emoji. This is a message from Chizuru Himeragi, and this girl is truly unexpected.

"Damn it... Don't say things that make people think like that! You bastard, you sadist..."

Ye Ming's inner thoughts were indeed in turmoil, but as an adult, he knew his job was important and that he would never act recklessly; he had his bottom line.

Moreover, Lin Yan is indeed very special.

……

It's 6:30 in the morning.

Lin Yan was already on his way to school. It was quite a distance, so he needed to take the tram. Getting up so early in the morning felt like a distant memory. Before coming to this world, his daily life was the same: waking up, eating breakfast, taking the crowded subway, and then arriving at school to begin the monotonous and boring high school routine.

I found a small note in the shoe cabinet; it looked like it was from Chizuru Hinoshita. I never imagined that people still write letters these days; it was quite unexpected.

In the classroom.

Lin Yan encountered Chizuru Hishiro.

"Hiyori-kun!"

"Good morning."

"Good morning. What... is this all about...?" Lin Yan still wanted to ask about the letter, so he asked directly.

"This is the thousand yuan I borrowed from you yesterday. Thank you very much."

That's not what I asked!

"What...what did you do to Ying Shi? And why did you tape him up? Why did you use such a strange method..." Lin Yan asked, his voice trembling as he suppressed a laugh.

"Because I felt that giving it back to you directly seemed too serious and boring, I looked it up online and found some strange folding methods, so I decided to use this one."
