He was reborn, returning to his miserable starting point in high school, where he was strung along and treated as a servile dog by the school beauty.
In his previous life, his humble efforts ...
Dongfang Wantang easily caught the pillow, smiling mysteriously: "We've been cultivating since childhood, so theoretically we can..."
"Stop! I don't want to hear any more theories!" Su Wanwan covered her ears. "All I know is that some people's eyelashes flutter like butterfly wings when they're pretending to be asleep!"
Liu Mengran suddenly seemed to notice something, pointing to the red mark on Dongfang Wantang's collarbone: "Wantang, what's this...?"
Dongfang Wantang hurriedly pulled up her collar, which only prompted Su Wanwan to pounce on her and tug at it: "Let me see! Wow, what's this new design? Did Han Feng secretly give you a tattoo?!"
"It's not a tattoo!" Dongfang Wantang rolled around on the bed in embarrassment, trying to hide. "It's...it was an accidental bump..."
Suddenly, the sound of a spatula being used and a faint whistle came from downstairs. The three of them immediately stopped and pricked up their ears.
"Is he making breakfast?" Liu Mengran blinked. "It's been so long since I've had him cook."
Su Wanwan grinned mischievously and pulled out her phone: "How about we guess what delicious food he's making today?"
The three were playing around when footsteps came from the stairs. They swiftly lay back down in their original positions, closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep, though their eyelashes trembled violently.
The door opened, and the aroma of bacon and toast wafted in.
"Get up, you little sleepyheads!" Han Feng stood at the door with a tray, his voice full of affection. "I'll count to three, and if you're not up, I'll take away your breakfast. One..."
The three women remained motionless.
\"two......\"
Liu Mengran's stomach let out a rumble, much to her dismay.
"Two and a half points..."
Su Wanwan was trembling all over from trying to suppress her laughter.
\"three!\"
Three pillows flew towards the door at the same time, but Han Feng dodged them as if he had expected it, placing the tray steadily on the ground: "Looks like none of you are hungry? Then I'll enjoy this Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon all by myself..."
"Robber!" Su Wanwan pounced on him like a hungry tiger. "That's my salmon!"
Liu Mengran and Dongfang Wantang joined in the competition, and the four of them started bickering. In the end, breakfast was divided equally, although Su Wanwan insisted that her fried egg was smaller than everyone else's.
"My fried egg is clearly smaller than yours!" Su Wanwan protested, pricking her plate with the tip of her fork. "Han Feng, you're being unfair!"
"It's your own fault for not choosing well when you were grabbing it," Han Feng calmly took a sip of his coffee. "How about we switch?"
Su Wanwan immediately protected the plate: "Dream on!"
Liu Mengran gracefully cut open the Eggs Benedict, the golden yolk flowing over the English muffin. She noticed Dongfang Wantang's gaze frequently drifting towards the coffee table in the living room—where a photo of the three of them from last autumn sat. In the photo, Han Feng had one arm around Liu Mengran and the other ruffling Su Wanwan's hair, with golden ginkgo leaves in the background.
Dongfang Wantang quickly lowered her head to drink her juice, but Liu Mengran had already caught the fleeting look of loneliness in her eyes.
"Today is a rest day," Han Feng suddenly announced. "All missions, cultivation, and work are suspended." His gaze swept over the three women, finally settling on Dongfang Wantang. "I'll spend the whole day with you."
Su Wanwan's fork clattered onto the plate: "Did the sun rise in the west? Busy Han is actually taking a vacation?"
"How about the amusement park?" Han Feng wiped the mayonnaise from Liu Mengran's mouth with a tissue. "We can take lots of pictures."
Dongfang Wantang suddenly looked up, her eyes shining like stars. Han Feng winked at her, everything understood without a word.
"I want to ride the roller coaster! Ten times!" Su Wanwan raised her hands high.
"A haunted house!" Liu Mengran exclaimed excitedly. "I heard a new immersive horror hospital theme park has opened."
Dongfang Wantang suggested softly, "How about... a carousel?"
Three pairs of eyes turned to the astrologer, who blushed and explained, "I always wanted to sit on it when I was little, but I've always been cultivating within my family..."
"It's settled then!" Han Feng declared. "Roller coaster, haunted house, carousel—we'll have them all."
An hour later, the four stood under the huge archway of "Starry Sky Paradise". Su Wanwan had already bought rabbit ear headbands and distributed them to everyone, and even Han Feng was forced to wear a black cat ear - amidst Liu Mengran's sly laughter and Dongfang Wantang's shy gaze.
"Let's start with the most thrilling one!" Su Wanwan dragged Han Feng towards the "Galaxy Fall" roller coaster. The near-vertical drop made Liu Mengran hesitate, and Dongfang Wantang's face turned pale.
"You guys wait downstairs." Han Feng handed the bag to Liu Mengran. "Buy some drinks while you're at it, we'll be down soon."
The mechanical sounds of the roller coaster climbing mingled with Su Wanwan's screams. Liu Mengran and Dongfang Wantang stood outside the railing, watching the small car stop at the highest point and then plunge down at almost freefall speed.
"Aren't you afraid?" Dongfang Wantang asked softly.
Liu Mengran shook her head: "I rode it too many times when I was little. But you..." She glanced at Dongfang Wantang's hand gripping the railing tightly, "Do you really want to ride the carousel?"
Dongfang Wantang nodded, her gaze following the blurry figures on the roller coaster: "Before, in the clan, we could only see the outside world through the star chart." Her voice was as soft as a dream, "The first time I actually rode the subway, the first time I ate ice cream, the first time..." Before she could finish speaking, her face turned red.
Liu Mengran glanced at her thoughtfully, then suddenly grabbed her hand: "Come on, let's go buy it. Before they come down."
When Han Feng helped the weak-legged Su Wanwan back, they were greeted by two girls munching on pink. Su Wanwan immediately perked up: "Where's mine?!"
"Go buy it yourself." Liu Mengran said with a mischievous grin, taking another bite.
Han Feng magically produced a blue item from behind his back: "I expected that."
The next stop was the haunted house. While waiting in line, Su Wanwan confidently declared herself the bravest, but as soon as they entered, she was so frightened by a zombie that it jumped onto Han Feng's back. Dongfang Wantang, on the other hand, was surprisingly calm and even accurately predicted the location of each scary spot.
"This isn't fair!" Su Wanwan protested, clinging to Han Feng's neck. "Wantang, you definitely cheated!"
Dongfang Wantang smiled and said, "It's just that my senses are more acute."
Liu Mengran clung tightly to Han Feng's arm the entire time, trying to appear calm, but she nearly tore Han Feng's sleeve when the chainsaw killer appeared. Han Feng had to hold Su Wanwan with one hand and Liu Mengran with the other, while also trying to keep Dongfang Wantang from getting lost, making the scene quite chaotic.
While having lunch at a themed restaurant, the four of them compared photos of each other's embarrassing moments in the haunted house and burst into laughter. Su Wanwan insisted on setting the photo of Han Feng backing away in fright as her phone wallpaper, only stopping when Han Feng threatened to release a video of her crying and screaming while clinging to a staff member.
As the afternoon sun softened, they finally arrived at the carousel. Dongfang Wantang stood beside the magnificent white horse, her fingers lightly tracing the painted decorations on its mane, her eyes like those of a child who had just received a Christmas present.
