Chapter 1: That night

Views:

"Boy, this beating today will teach you a lesson. If you dare to offend Ji Su again, I will break your legs! Do you understand?"

Wen Liang felt a pain on his face, and opened his eyes in confusion. What he saw was an extremely handsome face, with slanting eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin lips tightly pursed into a line, and dark eyes shining brightly under the dim street lights. This face seemed familiar, and although his expression was trying to pretend to be mature, the soft face shape and childish voice showed that he was just a child.

who is he

Wen Liang moved slightly, and a sharp pain came from his calves, lower abdomen and chest. In an instant, it spread along the tail of the spine like an electric shock, and went straight into the most sensitive cerebral cortex. Even though Wen Liang was 28 or 29 years old, he had started practicing Taekwondo very early, and his mind was honed to be extremely firm, but he also groaned in pain, and his whole body was sore and weak.

What's going on

Memories flashed through my mind like a movie: Tan Yu, the dojo, Xu Yao, the yellow skirt, the figure moving, the graceful way she spun with her legs raised… Oh, right, after get off work, I went to the Taekwondo gym near the company with my best friend Tan Yu to do daily exercise. Xu Yao, my high school classmate who I hadn’t seen for nearly ten years and only met by chance last year, came to challenge me for the fourth time after losing three times. When the two of us were competing, I slipped, and the last thing that was engraved in my mind was Xu Yao’s sharp but beautiful back kick…

Wen Liang smiled bitterly in his heart. This girl was too cruel. They just joked with each other for a few times, but she wanted to fight to the death. If she made a mistake this time, she would be laughed to death by Tan Yu...

“Bang!”

Suddenly, he was slapped in the face. A streak of blood flowed from Wen Liang's mouth. The childish voice just now said viciously: "Damn it, you are still laughing? You think your grandfather is farting, right?"

Wen Liang finally came to his senses. The person in front of him was not Tan Yu. He turned his head and looked around, and was stunned.

A narrow street appeared in front of him. Not far away were two piles of construction waste half a person's height. From time to time, a foul smell came with the breeze. It was quiet all around, with only a mottled street lamp above his head emitting a faint light. Wen Liang was stunned and was kicked in the stomach again. This time, the attacker was a man next to the handsome boy. He was tall and big, with fluffy and messy hair and a thick beard on his lips, but his face was still as childish.

"Gu Wenyuan, why are you wasting so much time talking to him? Don't you agree? Beat him and he will agree!"

Gu Wenyuan

Wen Liang hadn't heard of this name for many years.

More than a decade ago, Wen Liang was far from being as smooth and versatile as he is now. He was thin, weak, and had a little boyish inferiority complex. His grades were average in the class. He was neither ugly nor handsome. He had no special skills or characteristics. He was not outstanding and did not cause trouble. This kind of person, in layman's terms, is called a common face. In a profound sense, he can't be fat even if he swells his face. He belongs to the group of otakus who look at others as if they are air, but I smile at everyone.

Wen Liang looked up at the two of them, then looked at himself, and his face finally changed color.

A thin body, weak arms, a shabby plaid short-sleeved shirt and dark green thin pants, and a pair of Double Star sneakers worth a dozen yuan on his feet. What on earth is going on

The tall man was about to attack, but Gu Wenyuan blocked him with his hand and whispered, "Okay, this kid is silent, don't let him get beaten silly. His father is a city cadre after all, but he looks so useless. Ha, beating him will dirty our hands, let's go!"

Gu Wenyuan turned around and left. The tall man looked at Wen Liang, who was curled up in a ball, with disdain, spat, and left.

Wen Liang did not react to all this. He just stared around blankly, not moving a muscle.

for a long time.

Wen Liang struggled to get up despite the pain and sat on the lamp post. After a long while, he murmured, "So... So I've returned to the past."

More than ten years ago, when Wen Liang graduated from junior high school and received his high school admission letter, he was so happy that he bumped into Ji Su at the classroom door while holding a popsicle. As luck would have it, the big popsicle hit his classmate.

The defensive power of summer clothes is so fragile that it is not worth mentioning. Coupled with the shrill laughter of classmates in the class, Ji Su felt embarrassed and annoyed. She slapped Wen Liang in the face and ran away crying.

Unexpectedly, the matter was not over yet. That night, a male classmate named Zhou Xiaochang, who he had a decent relationship with, asked him out to play, but he was tricked into this alley and beaten up by Gu Wenyuan and Mu Shanshan.

Mu Shanshan, it’s hard to imagine that the tall, rough and unkempt man has such a lovely name.

This one-day and one-night humiliation deeply hurt the 16-year-old boy's pitiful self-esteem. After three years of high school and four years of college, Wen Liang became even more timid and cowardly, and his personality became weird and withdrawn. Apart from Tan Yu, he had almost no friends. If he hadn't met a kind girl Liu Yan after work, Wen Liang's life could be said to be almost ruined. Liu Yan spent three years to completely change Wen Liang, so much so that Xu Yao, a former classmate, who was such a high-minded girl, also fell in love with Wen Liang inexplicably after they met again.

You know, if a beautiful woman is willing to cause trouble for you, it means she is interested in you. Otherwise, do you think she has enough free time to fight? Wen Liang certainly understood this, but he already had Liu Yan, so he could only reject Xu Yao tactfully. However, he didn't want to be retaliated by her and had to beat him up in the arena, which was an unprovoked disaster.

Thinking of these past events, Wen Liang finally calmed his heartbeat and slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. In his previous life, Gu Wen was far ahead of him. He first graduated from high school and was admitted to Tsinghua University, and then returned to the provincial capital. Before he was 30, he was already a leader among his peers, which was beyond Wen Liang's reach.

Even if he worked twelve times harder, he still couldn't compare to Gu Wenyuan's good background.

Gu Shitong of Qingzhou is the richest man in Jiangdong Province.

Wen Liang slowly stood up holding the lamppost. A meteor streaked across the starry sky. The dark night was split in two by the ray of light, but then closed again in an instant, just like this black and white, upside-down and confused life.

Since God has given me a chance to start over, regardless of right or wrong, black or white, in this life, I just want to be free and happy.
