Parallel world, Earth.
In Jiangcheng, China, in an ordinary rented room, beer bottles lay scattered haphazardly on the floor.
Ye Chen woke up from his deep sleep. Before he even opened his eyes, he felt waves of dizziness in his head and his throat felt like it was on fire.
At the same time, a brand new memory rushed into his mind. The two memories intertwined, making his head, which was already dizzy from the hangover, even more swollen.
"Ouch...ouch...hiss..."
Ye Chen couldn't help but groan in pain, enduring the dizziness and nausea, he got up, found a bottle of mineral water, and gulped it down in one go.
Then, a churning sensation came from his stomach, causing him to gag a few times.
He pursed his lips tightly and ran to the bathroom, where he vomited violently on the sink, filling the rented room with a sour, foul smell.
Ten minutes later.
Ye Chen looked up and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face reflected in the mirror of the sink: a pale, handsome face with messy hair and the traces of a hangover still lingering on his tired face.
He tapped his head, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "I never thought I would actually time travel."
In his previous life, he started from scratch and became a famous young entrepreneur with a illustrious reputation and friends all over the world.
Before he transmigrated, he was studying a foreign language with a Western friend. Just as he was getting into the swing of things, everything went black. When he woke up again, he had already transmigrated to a parallel world.
Having absorbed another memory, Ye Chen understood why he had gotten drunk.
......
Yesterday evening.
Ye Chen had booked dinner at an upscale restaurant and was looking forward to seeing his girlfriend, Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan passed the civil service exam, and he was overjoyed. He specially spent a month's salary to celebrate, which he had saved up for a long time.
However, as long as my girlfriend is happy, it's all worth it!
Soon, a woman dressed in white casual clothes, with a graceful figure and pretty face, walked into the restaurant. After looking around, she quickly found where she had been.
Ye Chen stood up to greet her with a smile. Chen Yuan walked slowly to stand in front of him, looked at the young man in front of her, lowered her eyes, and said calmly, "Ye Chen, let's break up."
"You can't give me everything I want."
"In this world, without money and connections, you'll never be able to afford a house. I don't want to keep renting with you."
"In the future, you and I are destined to be strangers. Let us accept our fate."
As Chen Yuan finished speaking, she looked up at Ye Chen's dazed expression and felt a pang of pity. She softly comforted him, "You are a good person. I hope you can find someone better."
After saying that, she turned and left gracefully without a trace of regret.
"I...I've been friend-zoned!"
Ye Chen snapped out of the shock of the sudden breakup, opened his mouth but said nothing, and kept repeating the same sentence in his mind.
The first sword strike after landing is to slay the one I desire!
Just a few days ago, he was mocking others for breaking up because they had gone ashore (i.e., getting out of poverty).
Unexpectedly, retribution came so quickly; in the blink of an eye, he became the protagonist of the story.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt a surge of resentment and urgently needed to vent it!
"Waiter, bring me beer!"
......
My memory stops here, and I can't remember anything after that.
Ye Chen shook his head and uttered two words: "Idiot."
Having traversed the sea of flowers before his transmigration, he easily deduced that Chen Yuan only saw her predecessor as a short-term meal ticket.
It's a shame that her predecessor used to fawn over her all day long, taking care of her food and drink and giving her expensive gifts.
A simp will end up with nothing.
They deserved to be time-traveled.
Ye Chen looked at his youthful face in the mirror, his lips gradually widening as he couldn't contain his elation.
I've traveled through time.
They've gotten younger too.
Although he went from being a wealthy entrepreneur to an orphan who had nothing after waking up one morning.
But Ye Chen had no regrets whatsoever.
Returning to one's youth is something that money can't buy!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just then, there were several knocks on the door.
Ye Chen calmed his excited emotions, opened the door, and stood outside a young man wearing an orange work uniform, holding a package in his hand.
"Is this Mr. Ye Chen? Please sign for your package."
Ye Chen was taken aback, remembering that this was a gift his predecessor had bought for Chen Yuan, which should have been given yesterday.
That way, he can deliver it at dinner.
Now that's obviously not necessary, it's perfect for me to use!
The deliveryman outside the door saw the young man staring blankly at him and felt a little uneasy. This order was overdue, and if he was complained about, he would definitely be penalized, and another day's work would be for nothing!
He quickly put on a smile and apologized, "I'm so sorry, I had too many packages to deliver yesterday, I was overwhelmed, that's why..."
"Haha, thank you for the delay!"
Ye Chen snapped out of his daze, grinned, interrupted the deliveryman's apology, and, under the deliveryman's astonished gaze, quickly signed for the package and closed the door.
"What a weirdo! Does he have mental problems? What a waste of such a handsome face!"
Outside the door, the deliveryman muttered a couple of words, then turned and left.
I feel so much more relaxed now that I don't have to get complaints. I'll deliver a few more orders today!
Inside the rented room.
Ye Chen opened the express box, revealing a beautifully packaged high-end skincare product, something like Deep Sea Mystery, which was very expensive.
Chen Yuan kept insisting on having a set, but this was a real strain for her, who had just started working. One set of skincare products was equivalent to three months' salary for her.
