When Chen Zhendong woke up in the dark again, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He sat on the hard bed, his fingertips touching the rough fabric of the security guard uniform.
After a moment of silence, Chen Zhendong slowly got dressed, opened the dormitory door, and went out.
Looking at the towering buildings of the group behind him, Chen Zhendong, who was exercising early in the morning, had a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Seeing her dream take shape and come true step by step, Chen Zhendong was happier than anyone else.
Chen Zhendong, somewhat clumsily opening his phone, was about to check the time when a notification popped up.
It's news that a top celebrity's relationship has been exposed.
Chen Zhendong stared at that face for a few seconds, then turned off his phone and continued his morning run.
A month ago, Chen Zhendong had an unbelievable experience; he was reborn.
Chen Zhendong's memory is still stuck on the scene of the ransom being torn up.
He only managed to say the word "wife" to Jiang Tian before he lost his voice.
Do you regret it?
Do you hate it?
Chen Zhendong's final moments were filled with regret.
I'm sorry, my wife, I can't continue to strive with you, and I won't be able to see your bright future...
It's a real shame about Chen Zhendong.
He wanted to stay with Jiang Tian for a very long time.
pity.
Back in his dorm, Chen Zhendong took a shower. The face reflected in the mirror was unfamiliar yet handsome, except for the mole on his left eye—it was exactly the same as the one he remembered.
But in the end, it wasn't him.
Chen Zhendong didn't know why he was reborn as a security guard. He only knew that after the security guard's parents passed away, he had been working as a security guard at the company.
Jiang Tian's company offers excellent benefits. In a first-tier city where land is incredibly valuable, having accommodation is more important than anything else.
In the security room on the third basement floor of the building, Chen Zhendong stared at the surveillance footage, adjusted his posture, and began his work.
He no longer hoped to be with Jiang Tian; so many years had passed, and she already had a boyfriend.
I heard she doesn't go back to her hometown much anymore.
Their relationship should have ended before their rebirth.
He was content as long as he could see her; he didn't ask for anything else.
A duty roster was posted on the wall of the security room, and Chen Zhendong looked for his current name for a while.
He stared blankly at the words "Pick up midnight snack and deliver it upstairs" after his name for a while.
It is a company policy to provide employees with late-night snacks when they work overtime.
The company has been very busy lately, and the task of delivering late-night snacks to the management team who are working overtime after midnight has fallen to the security guards.
Chen Zhendong specifically asked the team leader to switch shifts—because he knew that Jiang Tian had been staying in the office until the early hours of the morning lately.
He had no other thoughts than to see her, to get a good look at her...
These days, he has very few legitimate reasons to get close to her; at the very least, he can go upstairs to deliver takeout.
When the time came, Chen Zhendong carried a lot of takeout upstairs. Faced with the employees' thanks, his face stiffened slightly.
Because he still had to deliver it to Jiang Tian.
She is alone on the rooftop now.
"Mr. Jiang, the late-night snack is here."
Chen Zhendong took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm.
His voice, though muffled by the door, still sounded as calm and steady as ever.
But no one knew that he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
"Come in."
He pushed open the door, put down the takeout, and didn't even dare to look at Jiang Tian's face.
"Could you please put it on that table over there and open it for me? I'm in a meeting right now and it's not appropriate for me to move around."
Jiang Tian took off her headset and said something to Chen Zhendong, who was looking down.
"……OK."
Chen Zhendong carefully opened the takeout container.
He heard fluent foreign languages.
When he came in, the contract negotiations were nearing their end, and now they were almost over.
Chen Zhendong had carefully taken care of everything, and was just about to tell Jiang Tian that he was leaving when her phone rang again.
Jiang Tian was staring at the screen when her phone suddenly rang on the table.
For some reason, Chen Zhendong could sense her exhaustion.
She looked at her phone screen for a while, then finally swiped to the green button.
"Jiang Tian, are you still working?"
"Um."
"Can you stop focusing on work all the time?" her boyfriend's disgruntled voice came through the receiver. "My movie launch is tomorrow, are you coming?"
Jiang Tian's tone remained unchanged: "I told you, I need to finalize a contract this week, I don't have time to go."
"The contract is more important than me?" The other person's voice was slurred with drunkenness. "Jiang Tian, have you ever even considered me a human being? Whom I look like doesn't mean I'm not an independent person. Jiang Tian, have you ever even liked me—"
Hearing the words on the other end of the phone, Chen Zhendong stood there, as if struck by lightning.
Jiang Tian didn't seem to care that there was someone else in the room.
She said into the phone, "You're drunk."
The person on the other end suddenly sounded suppressed and choked with emotion: "...I'm not drunk, Jiang Tian, I don't want to be a substitute anymore...Let's break up..."
"good."
"You really never liked me... What's the point of this relationship? Aren't you afraid of retribution for toying with people's hearts? Jiang Tian, don't contact me again."
The other party hung up the phone.
Chen Zhendong's back was ramrod straight.
He never expected her to date like this!
Did she even take good care of herself?
"Sorry, thank you for the delivery. You can go now."
Having just ended a relationship, Jiang Tian's tone was calm and collected. She lowered her head and continued writing, effectively telling Chen Zhendong to leave.
Chen Zhendong's steps seemed to be frozen in place.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Seeing that he was still standing there, Jiang Tian was clearly somewhat dissatisfied.
