Chapter 1: Starting Over



Yi Wei did not return to his room until late at night. He came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, lay down on the bed, covered himself with the quilt and hugged himself tightly.

The feeling of exhaustion made him want to sleep, but he didn't dare to sleep. He should have died on that cold night, so why was he still alive? Why would he come back here? Is time going backwards? Or is he really reborn?

Yi Wei put his hand on his stomach, feeling the firmness and flatness of his abdomen, his hand couldn't help but tremble. Apart from feeling very tired, there was no other abnormality in his body, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Although he tried hard to think, he still couldn't tell whether this was reality or just a dream because he was not completely dead. And is the so-called world in the book that he had dreamed of before real?

Yi Wei was too tired to think, and slept all night in a daze, half asleep and half awake.

………………………………………………

When he woke up the next day, Yi Wei sat up suddenly. After looking around the room, he slowly leaned against the head of the bed, then forced himself to concentrate and think seriously.

Judging from what happened last night and the current situation, he was indeed reborn. Although he also hoped that what had happened was just a dream, the feelings of pain and sadness still remained in his heart, forcing him to face reality.

Yi Wei got up from the bed, walked to the window into the sunlight, and stared at the scenery of the courtyard outside in a trance. Thinking about the things that happened in his previous life, his mood was very complicated and heavy. He could not say that he was faultless. He did do some stupid things, but he also suffered greater harm. But since God has given him the chance to start over, he should cherish it. In this life, he doesn't want love, family, or all the things he cared about in his previous life. Living a good life is more important than anything else.

There was a sudden reminder sound at the bedside, and Yi Wei walked over and raised his hand to press the screen on the wall.

"Master Yi Wei, Madam wants you to go over to her place for breakfast. Your mother has already arrived." said the maid's face that appeared on the screen.

"I understand." Yi Wei turned off the screen, closed his eyes and took a long, deep breath. Even if he didn't want to see them again, he still had to face what he had to face.

After washing and changing clothes, Yi Wei left the room, walked outside the dormitory yard, and took a car to Gu Heng and his mother's residence.

After getting off the car, Yi Wei walked through the courtyard corridor and prepared to enter the restaurant.

As soon as he reached the door of the restaurant, Yi Wei paused when he saw the happy and cheerful scene inside. In his previous life, he had never been able to fit in with such a scene no matter how hard he tried, but now, he no longer cared to fit in.

Jiang Shuqin saw Yi Wei coming over and said with a smile, "Good morning."

"Good morning, Aunt Qin." Yi Wei turned to look at Zhao Zhen and said, "Good morning, Mom."

"Good morning." Zhao Zhen looked at Yi Wei and said with a smile.

After Yi Wei sat down, he said good morning to Gu Heng and Yi Xuan, and then started to eat breakfast.

Yi Xuan glanced at Yi Wei quickly. When facing Yi Wei, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and uneasy.

Zhao Zhen looked at Yi Wei and said, "Yi Wei, I have discussed with your father and decided to celebrate your birthday in ten days. This year is your twentieth birthday, so we will invite more relatives and friends to come and celebrate with you."

"My birthday should be around for a while, right? Although I celebrate it in advance every year, isn't it a little too early this year?" Yi Weiyi said calmly while eating breakfast.

"Your father and I are planning to take you on an overseas vacation after your birthday party. It will just be the three of us, so we thought of holding the birthday party for you in advance so that you can have fun with peace of mind." Zhao Zhen smiled and explained the reason they had already discussed.

Yi Wei put down the cup of milk in his hand and said, "Since you have already decided, what else can I say? Anyway, I never have the right to decide. Come to think of it, I have forgotten the exact date of my real birthday. It doesn't really matter whether I celebrate it or not. Anyway, I haven't celebrated my real birthday since I returned to the Yi family."

Yi Wei's words made Zhao Zhen stunned for a moment, because Yi Wei would not usually say such things, and now they were at Gu's house, which made her a little embarrassed.

Yi Xuan's hand holding the chopsticks also stopped, his eyes drooped, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

Gu Heng immediately became anxious when he saw Yi Xuan like this. He wanted to comfort Yi Xuan, but he thought Yi Wei was not yet aware that they had broken off the engagement, so he could not show his concern for Yi Xuan.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Jiang Shuqin, who had no expression on her face, and then said to Yi Wei with a slightly forced smile, "This year is your 20th birthday, how can we not celebrate it? This trip is specially prepared to celebrate your 20th birthday. It is a token of love from mom and dad for you, and that is the greatest meaning."

Yi Wei smiled and said, "I don't care about those forms. What's most important to me is the thought. I'm also looking forward to the trip. Thank you, Mom. Please thank Dad for me."

Zhao Zhen was relieved to see that Yi Wei did not continue to complain or express dissatisfaction, and then said: "Mom is here to take you home for dinner today. When you get home, you can thank your dad yourself."

"Okay." Yi Wei smiled and nodded.

Jiang Shuqin picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. Although she did not show any emotion on the surface, she couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. She really didn't like Yi Wei at all. If he wasn't Zhao Zhen's biological son, and if Gu Heng hadn't insisted on getting engaged to Yi Wei despite her objections, she would never have been willing to let him get engaged to Yi Wei.

When Jiang Shuqin raised her eyes, she saw Gu Heng and Yi Xuan secretly exchanging glances, and her mood immediately improved. She watched Yi Xuan grow up, and she has always liked Yi Xuan very much. Fortunately, Gu Heng and Yi Xuan, these two little enemies, finally recognized their feelings for each other and were able to be together, which fulfilled her wish.

Gu Heng and Yi Xuan grew up together and had a very good relationship. Gu Heng had liked Yi Xuan since childhood and confessed his love to Yi Xuan many times, but Yi Xuan did not agree because Yi Xuan had a secret crush on someone and had always fantasized about being with that person, so it was impossible for her to accept Gu Heng's confession.

Gu Heng knew that after Yi Wei returned to the Yi family, Yi Xuan had been worried that he would be ignored and neglected. After many failed confessions, Gu Heng began to take advantage of Yi Wei, deliberately ignoring Yi Xuan and starting to show kindness to Yi Wei.

It was impossible for Yi Xuan not to see that Gu Heng did it on purpose, so he didn't care much about Gu Heng's little trick, and still thought about the person he had a crush on every day. Seeing that Yi Xuan was not taking the bait, Gu Heng insisted on getting engaged to Yi Wei despite his mother's opposition. However, as they got along, he began to feel attracted to her.

Yi Xuan started to get nervous after he saw that Gu Heng's heart was really starting to waver. Also, some things happened that made him give up on the person he had a crush on, and then he started to take the initiative towards Gu Heng. Gu Heng already loved Yi Xuan deeply in his heart, so once Yi Xuan took the initiative to show her affection, he naturally got together with Yi Xuan very quickly.

Although Gu Heng and Yi Wei are already engaged, their wealthy engagement is like in ancient times, with the parents of both parties writing a marriage certificate. If they want to cancel the engagement, the parents of both parties also need to write a letter of cancellation.

Just a month ago, Yi Xuan and Gu Heng told their parents that they had decided to be together, so they helped Gu Heng and Yi Wei break off their engagement without telling Yi Wei.

The reason why he hid it from Yi Wei was, firstly, because Gu Heng still needed Yi Wei's help to complete some things, and secondly, he was worried that Yi Wei would make a fuss if he knew that Yi Xuan and Gu Heng were going to get engaged. So they planned to wait until Gu Heng and Yi Xuan's engagement party was over before letting him know about this matter. By that time, the matter would have been done and even if he wanted to make a fuss, it would not have had any impact.

Yi Wei thinks about it now, he really can't understand what was wrong with his brain in his previous life, that he fell in love with Gu Heng even though he knew that Gu Heng was using him, and did those stupid things because of him, and in the end he couldn't even keep his child. He really wished he could go back to his previous life and slap that self twice so that that self could sober up a little.

Yi Wei and Yi Xuan were born on the same day in the same hospital. Their parents had the same name, and their mothers lived in ward suites, 301 and 307 respectively, which happened to be right across from each other. Due to a series of coincidences, they were taken away by the wrong baby by the nurse shortly after they were born.

A few days later, the mother of the two was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate after giving birth without any knowledge of the situation. Because Yi Xuan's biological father decided to move his business overseas, one year after they were born, Yi Xuan's biological parents took Yi Wei to settle abroad.

When Yi Wei was three years old, his family went bankrupt and his father died accidentally while avoiding debt collectors. When he was four years old, his mother died of illness and entrusted him to be adopted by her good friends and their couple.

Yi Wei lived a good life in his adoptive parents' home. When he was fifteen, his adoptive father died in an accident. His adoptive mother also lost both legs in the accident. She suffered a mental breakdown due to the loss of her husband and her emotional state was very unstable. Less than a year later, his biological parents, who knew that they had taken the wrong child, found him and took him back on the grounds that his adoptive mother had mental problems.

The Yi family's business in China has been doing better and better in recent years, and their family business has been growing bigger and bigger, but Yi Wei has encountered accidents one after another, from his parents to his adoptive parents. This is one of the reasons why Jiang Shuqin doesn't like Yi Wei very much. She thinks that Yi Wei is unlucky for his parents and maybe even his partner. Even if not, he is not as blessed as Yi Xuan. She specially asked a very powerful master to calculate, and he found that only if Gu Heng was with Yi Xuan, would his life be smooth and all his wishes would come true.

Although Yi Wei was reluctant to leave his adoptive parents' home, he had no choice but to obey the adults' decision. However, returning to his biological parents was the beginning of his tragic life.

The unequal treatment caused great harm to Yi Wei, and also caused Yi Wei's character to gradually change and go to extremes.

In order to consider Yi Xuan's feelings, Yi Hong and Zhao Zhen let Yi Wei return to the Yi family as an adopted son. Because of his status as an adopted son, Yi Wei was looked down upon by Yi's relatives. Later, something happened and Yi Wei finally couldn't stand it anymore and made a big fuss, crying and shouting that since they were unwilling to admit that he was their biological child, then he should be sent back to his adoptive mother. Yi Hong and Zhao Zhen could no longer hide it, so they revealed the truth about the child being taken away by mistake.

Yi Xuan was devastated when he found out that he was not his parents' biological child. He fell ill because he could not accept this fact and had a high fever that wouldn't go away. The whole family was extremely worried. Yi Hong and his wife and their eldest son stayed with him and said many comforting words to him, such as that he would always be their most beloved child and that they would always treat him the best, and they really did it. So in the Yi family, everything revolves around Yi Xuan, and other people's affairs come second.
