"Jiang Che, you..."

Gao Yun watched in disbelief as Jiang Che walked away without looking back.

Jiang Che was supposed to take everything over directly.

Why did he just leave like that?

Gao Yun turned to look at Su Rongyin.

Su Rongyin bit her lip, puffing with anger, "We'll go by ourselves!"

She quickened her pace, the large bags she was carrying already causing her back to ache, her small frame on the verge of collapse.

...

In the internet café, Jiang Che solo-killed the opponent's Yasuo for the second time, skillfully playing the flute while turning to the slightly chubby juvenile beside him, "Call me daddy!"

Chen Yunsong stiffened his neck, "One more game! I don't believe you're that good!"

"Come on, we agreed on best of three, first blood, first tower, a hundred minions, you've lost two games in a row, even your shorts are gone, hurry up and call me daddy!" Jiang Che gave him no chance.

"I..." Chen Yunsong stammered, his face flushed.

They often took advantage of each other, but to actually call the other "daddy"...

"One 'dad', one bag of crunchy noodles!"

Jiang Che suddenly held up a finger.

Chen Yunsong jumped up, went to the counter, and came back with two bags of Little Raccoon noodles.

This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".

The father-son battle ended with Chen Yunsong buying two bags of crunchy noodles.

They had a great relationship.

But the pride and face of youth always needed to be maintained.

Each with a bag, they crunched away.

It was pure friendship, with no other elements mixed in.

In fact, years later, the relationship between Chen Yunsong and Jiang Che hadn't changed.

This guy married a virtuous wife, and they didn't keep in touch much, but when Jiang Che was at his lowest, they lent him thirty thousand yuan, despite their own high monthly loan pressures.

After Jiang Che became successful, he naturally didn't forget Chen Yunsong.

You could say.

Chen Yunsong was the kind of best friend Jiang Che could trust without a second thought.

"Jiang Che, what are you planning to do next?" Chen Yunsong asked, crunching away, turning to Jiang Che.

"What to do? Study hard, improve every day!" Jiang Che replied.

"I'm not asking about that, I mean Su Rongyin..." Chen Yunsong asked.

"Of course, let bygones be bygones. I've been chasing for so many years, got rejected, it's time to wake up!" Jiang Che raised his hand to cradle the back of his head, speaking lightly.

"Are you serious?" Chen Yunsong looked skeptical, "Your words are too polished, something's off."

"Of course I'm serious, what's off about it." Jiang Che stood up and walked away, "Let's go!"

"Where to?" Chen Yunsong hurried to catch up, then ran back, "Damn it, we haven't checked out yet!"

After settling the bill for both machines, ten minutes later, Chen Yunsong followed Jiang Che to a barbershop.

Watching Jiang Che already seated in front of the mirror, Chen Yunsong confirmed again, "Jiang Che, are you really going to cut your hair? I remember you've had this mushroom head since you were a kid, think it over, don't be impulsive!"

"I'm not being impulsive, it's not like I'm shaving it all off, just changing the hairstyle, changing the mood. Tony, don't mind him, let's start." Jiang Che smiled at the barber in the mirror.

Being called "Tony" instead of "Master" put the barber in a good mood, and he cut Jiang Che's hair with ease. Soon, a slightly longer, tousled hairstyle appeared in the mirror.

Jiang Che took off his glasses, revealing an unbelievably handsome face.

Clothes make the man, and with a new hairstyle and the heavy black-framed glasses gone, Jiang Che instantly transformed into a heartthrob.

After being reborn, Jiang Che discovered many differences in himself.

First, his eyes, which were over two hundred degrees myopic, were no longer nearsighted.

His skin became fair and delicate, without a single blemish.

Most importantly.

His physical condition improved greatly, and all the minor flaws in his physique disappeared, his body from top to bottom, even in the middle, was perfect.

It seemed.

This was the benefit of Jiang Che's rebirth!

The barber was stunned.

He looked at his own hands.

Did he really cut this?

"Jiang Che, you..."

Chen Yunsong was even more dumbfounded.

If he hadn't watched Jiang Che undergo this transformation right here, he would have suspected Jiang Che had plastic surgery!

But upon closer inspection, it seemed he hadn't.

Jiang Che was already quite handsome, it was just the black-framed glasses and thick mushroom head that made him look nerdy.

Now, it felt like he was unsealed.

Walking out of the barbershop, Chen Yunsong felt happy for Jiang Che, his steps lightened, "Old Jiang, I think if you confess to Su the school belle now, your chances are really high."

"Confess my ass."

Jiang Che cradled his head with his hands, "I've already figured it out, there are plenty of fish in the sea, college life is where it's at, with such a great life ahead, why hang on one tree?"

"Huh?"

"Don't 'huh' me! Let's go, everyone back to their own homes, my parents are probably back."

Watching Jiang Che's departing figure, Chen Yunsong scratched his head, "Is college life really that good? He even gave up on chasing Su the school belle..."

On the way home.

A warm breeze brushed his face.

Jiang Che's mood was exceptionally pleasant.

If I could relive my youth, with a little gold and a little wind.

This was a line from a novel in his past life that left a deep impression on Jiang Che.

He had often stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his top-floor office, fantasizing about how great it would be to return to his youth.

Unexpectedly.

He really got to live again!

In his previous life, after failing the College Entrance Examination and dropping out, Jiang Che followed Su Rongyin to Jinling City.

By then, they were no longer in the same world.

No matter how much he pursued, the distance between them grew.

Eventually, they became strangers.

After completely parting ways, Jiang Che finally woke up and picked up his life again.

Starting from scratch, he clawed his way up, and by his forties, he had built a company from nothing, reaching a scale of ten figures, becoming a well-known young entrepreneur with a stellar reputation.

And now, he returned from being a high-ranking boss to an eighteen-year-old with nothing.

Overnight, years of effort vanished.

But Jiang Che had no regrets.

A second chance at youth was priceless!

Moreover.

Jiang Che had lived once, knew the trends of the times, had past success, and experience dealing with all sorts of people... making money wasn't difficult!

Standing in front of the familiar door, he heard faint sounds inside, his mother Chen Feirong telling his father Jiang Liyun to call him and ask where he had gone.

He took out his key and entered the house.

Seeing his parents from this time again after a lifetime apart.

Jiang Che's heart was filled with indescribable excitement.

"Dad! Mom! I'm back!" Jiang Che called out excitedly.

"You little rascal, you still know how to come back? Your dad says the house smells like beer, what did you do? Tell me honestly!" Chen Feirong came out of the kitchen with a spatula, hands on her hips.

Her voice reached him before she did.

"?"

Jiang Che looked at Jiang Liyun.

"Sip..."

His father strategically sipped his tea, not even glancing at Jiang Che.
