Yang Yue thought for a moment and unleashed her ultimate move.
"Xiao Yue Attack: image.jpg"
Wang Yue opened the image again.
*Hiss* So white.
Utterly indecent.
"Xiao Yue Attack: /blush/blush/blush"
Yang Yue thought, this still won't get him?
She knew boys' minds too well; no matter how handsome, they were all lecherous.
Although Wang Yue was at the age of youthful vigor, his mind was not.
A girl like Yang Yue would sacrifice her allure to achieve her goals.
Looking is fine, but don't actually get involved, or it won't be so easy to shake them off.
Wang Yue was not a saint, but he wouldn't let lust cloud his judgment.
"wy: A bit sleepy, going to bed now."
Wang Yue replied.
Yang Yue was a little confused, why wasn't the script unfolding as she expected?
Shouldn't Wang Yue be video calling her right now, or having a lively chat on voice call?
What was the meaning of going straight to sleep?
"Could he be a craftsman?"
Yang Yue frowned, thinking it was possible.
Pretending to sleep, but actually going to hone his craft.
Still, this just proved her charm.
So she replied with a smile.
"Xiao Yue Attack: Remember to be restrained, senior~"
Wang Yue didn't reply again. This girl knew too much.
But he had no interest in doing anything with Yang Yue's photos.
He was aiming for the cool, aloof male god persona!
How could he be so crude?
...
On the first day of the National Day holiday, Wang Yue overslept.
He didn't get up until noon.
After lunch, Wang Yue went out.
There were noticeably fewer people on the streets today, likely traveling, but national flags fluttered everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere.
Wang Yue's milk tea shop had been renovated, and the equipment was installed and tested.
Now all it needed was a signboard.
His main purpose today was to order a signboard.
Wang Yue had already decided on the shop name.
It would be called "Mercury Records."
Since the song hadn't been released yet, there were no copyright issues. Wang Yue planned to register the name as a trademark.
Wang Yue searched for a long time and finally found a reasonably sized advertising company.
As he walked in, a girl greeted him, smiling, "Handsome, can I help you with anything?"
Wang Yue smiled and nodded, "I want to order a signboard."
"Okay, what kind of style are you looking for? What's the content?"
the girl asked.
Wang Yue explained his requirements in general terms.
Customizing a signboard was quick, only taking two days.
After paying the deposit, Wang Yue left.
The entire process was very efficient, taking less than half an hour.
But as soon as he stepped outside, Wang Yue noticed that the sky, which had been clear and sunny half an hour ago, was now overcast.
A gust of strange wind blew, rustling the leaves.
"Is it going to rain?"
Wang Yue glanced at the sky and muttered unluckily. It seemed he would have to spend the day at home.
"Ding! Butterfly effect detected, world lines are undergoing irreversible changes. Host, please prepare for adaptation."
The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly chimed in again.
"What does that mean?"
Wang Yue was a bit confused.
"Simply put, the host's rebirth has altered history. The destinies of many people have changed because of you, for better or worse. Therefore, the host may encounter many unexpected situations that did not happen in his previous life. Please be mentally prepared."
the system explained.
Wang Yue nodded, not entirely surprised.
Since his rebirth, he had already experienced many situations that hadn't happened in his previous life.
But with the system in hand, his destiny had already diverged significantly from that of ordinary people. Now he had the courage to face any unexpected situation.
The originally gloomy sky cleared up again ten minutes later, as if it had never changed.
But at this moment, Wang Yue received a call from his childhood friend, Zhou Dewen.
"Hello?"
Wang Yue answered the phone.
On the other end, Zhou Dewen's voice was anxious: "Wang Yue, hurry to Phoenix Mountain, your brother's been beaten up!"
"I'm coming."
Wang Yue hung up.
So this was the so-called unexpected situation?
Wang Yue's gaze gradually turned cold. If the so-called unexpected situation meant harm to those close to him, then he couldn't help but act decisively.
Phoenix Mountain.
Legend had it that phoenixes once nested here, hence its name.
The entire Phoenix Mountain was an ecological park, where many citizens visited during their leisure time.
Currently, five youths were surrounding Wang Hu, cornering him.
Leading them was a bespectacled youth, his hair almost obscuring his eyes, giving him a somewhat effeminate look.
"Idiot, long time no see. Why are you running when you see me?"
The bespectacled youth crouched down, staring at Wang Hu with a sinister smile.
"Yang Yan, what do you want?"
Wang Hu's face showed anger mixed with unease.
In Wang Hu's memory.
Yang Yan was a madman.
They were junior high classmates.
Back then, Wang Hu wasn't overweight and had a good appearance, even resembling a mixed-race heartthrob.
So he was very popular with the girls in class.
Their conflict stemmed from a girl.
Her name was Zhang Panxue.
Yang Yan liked Zhang Panxue, and Zhang Panxue liked Wang Hu.
Yang Yan pursued Zhang Panxue relentlessly. Unable to win her heart, he turned his love into hate.
One evening after evening study, Yang Yan once again confessed his feelings to Zhang Panxue. She still firmly rejected him, stating that the person she liked was Wang Hu. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
This drove Yang Yan completely insane.
On the way home after evening study, Yang Yan attacked Wang Hu.
He stabbed Wang Hu eighteen times with a shard of glass. Fortunately, Wang Hu blocked with his arm. Later, he received over twenty stitches at the hospital and narrowly avoided shock from blood loss.
But Yang Yan's attack that night wasn't limited to Wang Hu.
He also attacked Zhang Panxue.
He slashed Zhang Panxue's face seven or eight times with a shard of glass, disfiguring her.
Later, Yang Yan was arrested by the police and spent several years in prison. He was expelled from school.
His family also paid over two hundred thousand yuan in compensation, and the matter was concluded.
Wang Hu never expected to encounter this madman again after ten years.
"Hehe, don't be nervous. I'm just happy to see an old friend."
Yang Yan licked his somewhat chapped lips. "Do you know how many years I spent in prison?"
Wang Hu shook his head.
Yang Yan laughed maniacally, "Five years! A full five years. My best years were wasted in there."
"Every time I dreamt at night, I felt hatred."
"Hating you, hating Zhang Panxue, hating my parents, hating this world."
"If Zhang Panxue hadn't rejected me, I wouldn't have done such an extreme thing. If my parents had been more proactive, perhaps I wouldn't have been sentenced. This world is sick. I, who pursued true love, received no response. And you, an idiot, did nothing yet received such pure and passionate love."
As Yang Yan spoke, his expression grew increasingly ferocious. His hair completely covered his eyes. He suddenly slapped Wang Hu across the face.
"Slap!"
The slap was powerful, drawing blood from the corner of Wang Hu's mouth.
Yang Yan laughed heartily, "And I hate you the most. If you hadn't come to this school, if you hadn't appeared in our class, Zhang Panxue and I would have been an enviable couple. It's all your fault. You shouldn't have been born into this world!"
