Chapter 1

"Forehead, where am I?"

In the room, Chen Yu slowly opened his eyes and carefully examined his surroundings.

What he saw was not the familiar white hospital room with its pungent smell of disinfectant. Instead, he found himself in a small room.

The room in front of him was a bit old, with a bedside table filled with various study books and a few junior high school textbooks. On the other side of the bed, there was a brand new computer and several web novels.

Chen Yu remembered that this computer was a reward from his older sister after he was admitted to a key high school.

As for the novels, he saw titles like *Battle Through the Heavens* and others, which were his favorite novels during junior high school.

It was because of these novels that Chen Yu later became a web novelist.

Everything in front of him was both familiar and a bit strange.

Isn't this my childhood room? What's going on? Am I dreaming?

Since he bought a house in the mountain city, he had almost forgotten what the old house looked like.

He got out of bed and walked to the mirror. The young man in the mirror looked somewhat delicate, about 1.75 meters tall, with a smooth, fair face and a somewhat slender build.

This was his appearance during junior high school. Looking at his younger self, he almost couldn't believe that he had become his childhood self.

He looked at the calendar on the wall, which clearly showed September 1, 2012, instead of 2022.

In other words, he had somehow traveled back 10 years?

"No, this must be a dream. Wake up quickly!"

Saying this, Chen Yu stretched out his hand and pinched his face hard. It hurt, but nothing changed; he was still in the room.

Maybe the force wasn't enough. He should try rolling off the bed; that should wake him up.

Saying this, he wrapped himself in the blanket and rolled off the bed, hitting the bedside table. A red bump appeared on Chen Yu's forehead.

"Ouch, that really hurts."

At this moment, Chen Yu realized he was still in the room, and the pain from the collision felt very real. It seemed he wasn't dreaming.

After a moment, Chen Yu calmed down and confirmed the incredible situation.

He seemed to have been reborn!

He never thought that a scenario that only existed in TV shows and novels would happen to him. He had written many novels about rebirth, and now he was experiencing it himself.

He wondered if there was a system. Since he had been reborn, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a system or some kind of golden finger.

Thinking this, Chen Yu whispered to himself, "System? System, are you there?"

After a long time, no one answered him. He felt a bit disappointed. It seemed that what he read in novels was all a lie.

After calming down, Chen Yu began to piece together the events of his previous life.

In 2022, Chen Yu was diagnosed with terminal cancer. During this time, his girlfriend, Tang Shiyun, had been taking care of him.

At that time, Chen Yu knew his illness was incurable, so he didn't want to burden Tang Shiyun and suggested they break up.

"Shiyun, let's break up. I'm not doing well now. You're still young; find someone else. Otherwise, I'll be worried about you in the future."

"I don't want to find anyone else. If we can't be together in this life, then in the next life, or the one after that. I'll stick with you, and you can't get rid of me. You'll always be my silly boy."

Tang Shiyun smiled and continued, "Besides, you don't have a high education, you're not very capable, and you're not that handsome. You're so stupid. Who else would want you, my silly boy?"

"Shiyun, I'm sorry, I..."

Just as Chen Yu was about to say more, Tang Shiyun put her slender finger on his lips to stop him, saying softly, "Silly boy, can we be together in the next life?"

Looking into Tang Shiyun's clear eyes, Chen Yu, lying in the hospital bed, didn't say anything more. He nodded.

"Okay, if there is a next life, we'll fall in love again, and we'll get married..."

They met in college, and both had thought they would hold hands and walk together to the altar.

But a serious illness changed everything.

A few weeks later, Chen Yu passed away due to cancer.

Since heaven had given him a second chance, he couldn't live like he did in his previous life. He had to find Tang Shiyun and give her the best life possible. Chen Yu thought this to himself in the room.

"Xiao Yu, are you still in bed? You're going to be late! Do you want to be late on your first day of school?"

In the room, Chen Yu was constantly recalling the moments he shared with Tang Shiyun in his previous life when an angry voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Then, a woman walked in.

The woman was named Chen Xinyue, Chen Yu's older sister.

She had a beautiful oval face, somewhat similar to Chen Yu's, a tall and slender figure, and long black hair that reached her waist. Her bright, large eyes were captivating.

It was still very hot in the mountain city in September. She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a black short skirt, perfectly showcasing her long, slender legs. She wore white sneakers.

After their parents died in a car accident, Chen Xinyue, as the older sister, had been taking care of Chen Yu. She even gave up the opportunity to go to college to find a job.

Especially during the days when Chen Yu was sick with cancer, Chen Xinyue and Tang Shiyun took turns taking care of him.

An older brother is like a father, and an older sister is like a mother.

In Chen Yu's heart, Chen Xinyue was like a mother, and she and Tang Shiyun were the two most important people in his life.

After being reborn, seeing his young sister again, Chen Yu felt a deep sense of emotion, and a tear rolled down his cheek.

When Chen Xinyue pushed the door open and saw Chen Yu with tears in his eyes, she was startled.

"Xiao Yu, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Initially, Chen Xinyue was a bit angry that Chen Yu hadn't gotten up by 7:00, but when she saw him with tears in his eyes, her heart softened, and her anger subsided.

"What happened to your head? Did you fall out of bed? Did you hurt yourself?" Chen Xinyue asked with concern.

Seeing her worried face, Chen Yu smiled, wiped away his tears, and walked over to Chen Xinyue, giving her a gentle hug.

Chen Xinyue was taken aback by her brother's sudden hug, her body stiffening as if she had been electrocuted, and it took her a long time to recover.

After letting go, Chen Yu smiled, "Older sister, I'm fine. I'm going to school now, or I'll really be late."

"Older sister, don't worry. I'll study hard and get into a good university, then I'll earn money to support you."

Saying this, he picked up his schoolbag, gathered the things he needed for the first day of school, took two pieces of bread and a bag of milk from the kitchen, and hurriedly ran out.

Chen Yu had wanted to try some of his sister's noodles, but time didn't allow it, as he was almost late.

In his previous life, after Chen Yu went to college, they saw each other less and less, and he never got to eat his sister's noodles again.

In the room, after Chen Xinyue recovered from her brother's hug, Chen Yu had already left. She felt that today's Xiao Yu was a bit different from usual.

"Brat, who needs you to support me? It would be enough if you could take care of yourself." Chen Xinyue looked at his departing back, her expression soft and gentle.

Hearing her mischievous brother say this, even if it wasn't true, Chen Xinyue was still happy. After all, her brother had suddenly become more mature.

"Xiao Yu, are you going to school alone? Do you need me to see you off?"

"No need, you should find a brother-in-law for yourself!"

"Brat, take care of yourself!" came her annoyed voice from behind.

Hearing this, Chen Yu hurriedly sped up and ran to the bus stop.

On the bus to school, Chen Yu began to think about what to do next.

After his parents' car accident, Chen Yu was no longer as mischievous as before and started to study hard.

He transformed from a poor student to an excellent one and was admitted to the best high school in the county, the No. 1 High School.

If he could be reborn in elementary school, he might have been able to prevent the car accident, Chen Yu sighed, thinking to himself.

"I wonder where Shiyun is now. She should be at No. 1 High School, I remember she mentioned it."

Living a second life, he wanted to give her the best life possible, treat her like a princess, and not let her suffer any委屈. He wanted her to live a life of luxury.

Thinking of this, he quickly took out his phone, intending to add Tang Shiyun's QQ number, but he couldn't remember her QQ number after thinking for a long time.

In his previous life, although Chen Yu would help Tang Shiyun log into QQ or WeChat, he only remembered the passwords and never the numbers.

Most of the time, Chen Yu couldn't even remember his own QQ number and password, let alone Tang Shiyun's.

Moreover, it was ten years ago, and who knew if Tang Shiyun had changed her number.

As for her phone number, although Chen Yu remembered it, it was from the future. He didn't know what her current number was.

He remembered that Tang Shiyun had changed her phone number several times.

Although they were in the same high school, they didn't have much interaction at the time. They only started to meet and establish a romantic relationship in college.

Therefore, Chen Yu knew very little about Tang Shiyun's current information.

However, it didn't matter. He would surely see her soon once he got to school.

The bus was slowly moving, and after about ten minutes, it arrived at the entrance of No. 1 High School.

Chen Yu got off the bus and walked to the classroom he remembered from his previous life. Everything around him was familiar, unchanged.

It was the first day of high school, and the classes hadn't started yet. His class should be in Room 18, a key class.

Following his previous memory, Chen Yu quickly found his classroom, put his things down, and went to the head teacher to get a day student pass.

No. 1 High School was close to home, and the dormitory conditions were poor. Out of concern for her brother, Chen Xinyue didn't let Chen Yu stay in the dormitory but instead enrolled him as a day student.

She knew the school's food was terrible and lacked nutrition, often featuring bizarre dark dishes. After all, she had dropped out of No. 1 High School.

Moreover, the cafeteria ladies were all masters of the "trembling hand" technique, which was a nightmare for every student. Their hands would tremble, and your food would disappear without you noticing.

As a day student, he would only have to eat at the school for lunch. After school, he could go home, and she could cook something nutritious for him. It was an important time for his growth, and he couldn't eat poorly.

After getting the day student pass, Chen Yu originally planned to find Tang Shiyun's class, but it was the first day of school, and many parents were dropping off their children.

The school was very crowded, and finding Tang Shiyun would be difficult. Who knew where the girl had gone to play, and there were no classes yet.

It would be better to wait until the parents left and then go directly to her classroom.

Chen Yu knew which classroom and class Tang Shiyun was in, so he wasn't in a hurry.

"Hello, everyone. I am your head teacher, Mr. Xu." When the head teacher entered, the noisy classroom instantly became quiet.

After all, the head teacher was the most terrifying creature in student life.

"Alright, it's the first day of school, so there are no classes today. We'll start military training tomorrow. First, introduce yourselves so you can get to know each other."

Since it was the first day of school, the teacher didn't give a lesson but had each student introduce themselves.

They also watched *The First Class of the School Year*, which was a mandatory program at the start of each new semester.

In the past, Chen Yu didn't like watching such programs, but now, after being reborn in high school, he found it interesting, even though he already knew the content.

After going to college, he rarely watched such programs. Now, seeing them again, he felt a sense of nostalgia, as if reliving his youth.

At the same time, in another classroom at No. 1 High School, a sleeping girl slowly woke up, looking around in confusion.

What's going on? Did I also get reborn?
