After his son jumped to his death, Lu Chengyuan died alone from illness. When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn in the year his son was a high school sophomore. His wife had passed away not long before, and his son was silently approaching the breaking point under the weight of school bullying and academic pressure.
This time, despite possessing a fortune worth hundreds of billions, he tore up the script for successful parenting. While other parents signed their kids up for outrageously expensive tutoring, he skipped school with his son to play games at a top-tier esports hotel. While others treated teenage romance like a crisis to be stamped out, he personally helped his son plan how to win over his first love and covered all the expenses. On the eve of the college entrance exams, he had his son take a break from school, and the two traveled around the country, calling it a “social studies field trip.”
This was an unconventional redemption, paved with money and wielding companionship as its blade. Lu Chengyuan squandered his time and money on his son, playing games, soaking their feet, traveling, starting a business, and reminiscing about his late wife together. Through countless everyday moments that others considered absurd, he gradually chipped away at the walls around his son’s heart.
From then on, the gloomy, insecure boy slowly began to shine. He learned to laugh and joke, and to sling an arm around his father’s neck and call him “Old Lu.” Years later, Lu Xingchen did not become the top scorer on the college entrance exams, but he did become the youngest legend in venture capital. At his wedding, Lu Xingchen placed his bouquet directly in the hands of Auntie Su, who had always quietly stayed by his father’s side. Then he smiled into the microphone. “Dad, I’ve finished my mission. Now it’s your turn to go find happiness.”
It's a beautiful story about the deep bond between father and son.
