Oh, heavens, how cruel you are to me…
Looking back on his past self, Shen Yunhao couldn't help but sigh.
The higher you fly, the harder you fall.
Before young Shen Yunhao could even fly, he fell from a high platform and was covered in bruises.
Having a useless bone structure not only means he can't cultivate, but also that his basic physical qualities are much worse than ordinary people, which is undoubtedly fatal for Shen Yunhao, who has dreamed of becoming a martial arts hero since childhood.
Especially in an environment like the Shen family, the Yunxiao Escort Agency was renowned, and Shen Yunxiao was considered a hero of his generation, yet his son was so mediocre...
Words filled with malice, such as "useless" and "gold digger," often echoed in Shen Yunhao's ears.
This phenomenon became even more serious after Shen Yunxiao went missing.
Having experienced a huge blow, Shen Yunhao often had the illusion that the whole world was isolating him.
He became taciturn and couldn't get along with anyone. The only person he had by his side was a fat cat.
That is, milk tea had already been by his side back then.
These past years have not been easy. In order to get rid of the "good-for-nothing" label, he even thought that since he could not learn martial arts, he would prove himself through literature.
With Shen Yunxiao's connections, the Shen family was willing to nurture this third young master, and the private school and academy arrangements were quite complete.
After years of studying and several imperial examinations that proved he was completely unsuitable for academics, the Shen family gave up on him entirely...
Just consider it as raising an insignificant, nominal young master. The Shen family is large and wealthy enough to afford it.
As for the marriage contract with Fairy Ning, the Shen family did not take it to heart.
Everyone knows that the mortal and immortal realms are separated. How could a fairy with a promising future really marry a good-for-nothing young master?
Do you expect that marriage certificate to bind the immortals?
That's ridiculous.
Until last month...
On the day Shen Yunhao turned eighteen and came of age, news suddenly came from the mountain that Fairy Ning was returning to fulfill her marriage agreement...
This news was like a nuclear bomb, shocking everyone in the Shen family, including Shen Yunhao himself.
At first, he was somewhat skeptical, until the next day, when Ning Yuan personally came to discuss the wedding date... The Shen family was in complete uproar.
Some people are happy, some are sad.
What's gratifying is that even a useless third young master can contribute to the family and help the Shen family find such a powerful patron.
What's sad is that such a useless person has such good luck, and what merit does he have to receive the favor of the immortals?
Shen Yunhao still clearly remembers the way Shen Muchi and Ning Yuan looked at him back then.
Shen Muchi's gaze was as if he were looking at a fine piece of porcelain; though it had no practical use, it was of considerable value...
As for Ning Yuan... that was undisguised disdain and contempt.
He initially arranged this marriage to help the Ning family climb the social ladder by marrying into the Shen family, but unexpectedly, the situation has reversed, and he has ended up benefiting someone else.
However, the will of the immortals is something that mortals cannot resist, and even he, as her father, has no right to interfere with Ning Yuyao's own wishes.
After the news spread, everyone was talking and joking, but... no one cared about Shen Yunhao's own thoughts.
He spent a long time with Ning Yuyao when he was young, and always treated her as his child bride. So there must have been feelings involved.
But after eight years of living in a daze, he himself doesn't know how much of that affection is left.
Therefore, the first thing that came to his mind after confirming the news wasn't the memories of his time with Ning Yuyao, but rather...
You are a fairy, cultivating Taoism in the Moon Palace, with a bright future ahead of you, yet you come to marry a mortal like me.
What's the point?
His own experience over the years has taught him: the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment...
Therefore, he didn't feel particularly happy or expectant about Ning Yuyao's return to fulfill the marriage agreement.
Of course, the real reason he finally decided to call off the engagement was because... he seemed to hear those familiar words again.
"When you're a child, you rely on your father; when you grow up, you rely on your wife."
"Born to be a gigolo, truly a good-for-nothing."
It feels like those days...
What happened next was only natural.
To preserve his last shred of self-respect, he not only went so far as to break off the engagement with the Ning family, but also put on a smug and arrogant act on the day of the wedding.
This is also the most worrying thing for Shen Yunhao who has returned from time travel.
How could I have done something like that back then?
They've practically handed themselves to you, and they're so good-looking. Whether they're sincere or not, just say yes first...
Is it really worth it for that so-called self-esteem?
Now look what's happened! The person got so angry that they left, which means they've offended the Shen family, the Ning family, and even Ning Yuyao's sect all at once.
How do we clean up this mess?
"I'd rather stay in the 21st century and be a happy single dog. Why bring me back here?"
Back to reality, Shen Yunhao sighed heavily.
"Meow--"
Just then, an untimely meow interrupted Shen Yunhao's thoughts, and a round cat tumbled into the room from the windowsill.
"milk tea?"
Upon seeing the cat, Shen Yunhao skillfully rummaged through the cupboard and pulled out a bag of dried fish, chuckling, "It's still here after all."
"Meow!"
The cat happily jumped onto the table and started munching on dried fish. Its chubby body didn't affect its eating speed at all.
"Seeing you, little one, is the only thing that can make me happy."
Shen Yunhao stroked the soft fur on the fat cat's back, then suddenly frowned: "Strange... why did I name you Milk Tea? This name..."
Now, Shen Yunhao carries the memories of another life, so he naturally understands the meaning of "milk tea".
But I didn't know back then why I was given such a name.
Shen Yunhao couldn't remember it no matter what he tried, so he stopped thinking about it.
Looking out the window at the slowly darkening sky, I couldn't help but sigh, "I've spent the whole day reminiscing about the past; I should be looking to the future... But given this situation, do I even have a future?"
"Forget it... why think so much? Every day we live is a bonus. Maybe if I die I'll travel back in time. Milk tea! Time for bed!"
"Meow!"
The chubby little cat, having eaten and drunk its fill, jumped onto the bed.
At this moment, Shen Yunhao suddenly recalled the dream he had last night and the scene he had seen this morning.
"milk tea……"
"Meow!"
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you!"
"???" The cat looked puzzled.
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously..."
"..."
"milk tea……"
"Meow?"
"Transform into a loli!"
Milk Tea: "(#￣︿￣)"
"Never mind, I was overthinking it. Time for bed..."
Shen Yunhao was unaware that after he fell asleep, a very faint white mist emanated from his body, and then...
The milk tea lying in my arms sucked into my mouth!
The cat stretched contentedly and continued to sleep soundly, clearly unaware that it had inhaled something.
Outside the window, the night was slightly cool, revealing a hint of inexplicable chill.
