    Reader note

    (The female lead in this book is wild and alluring; the author, a veteran, guarantees quality.) (Brain storage is free.)…Wang Yi felt that fate had played a cruel joke on him. He woke up to find himself back in 1999, at the college entrance exam site. From 2023, back to 1999. From a greasy middle-aged man, he was transformed back into a handsome 18-year-old! Are you kidding me? How could something so absurd happen? But after being stunned for a full ten minutes, pinching his thigh until it was bruised, Wang Yi finally accepted the fact. But why, at the college entrance exam site? Who decided this rebirth time? Did they have a grudge against me? The blackboard clearly displayed: "Jiangxing City Unified College Entrance Examination, 1999!" "July 8th, Chemistry!" "Exam Time: 15:00 - 17:00!" Looking at the chemistry exam paper before him, Wang Yi felt as if struck by lightning. The words MOL, HCO3, and various cations and anions, electrons, the periodic table, Avogadro's constant… he had learned them all before, but now, looking at them was like reading an ancient, incomprehensible book. Except for a few common ones, he couldn't recall anything at all. Forget solving the problems, he couldn't even understand the questions. He remembered watching a short drama about rebirth where the female lead was reborn twenty years in the future, returning to the college entrance exam era, and miraculously remembered all the knowledge points and the questions, managing to get 700 out of 750 points. He envied those kinds of brains. But he didn't have one!! Rubbing his aching head, he realized there was no merging of his current memories; his memories remained from 2023. So, forget about solving the problems on his own! Fortunately, before his rebirth, he had almost finished the chemistry exam. Only the last two major questions remained, so he decided to leave them blank. The 1999 college entrance exam used a 3+2 model, and he was taking the science stream, meaning that after chemistry, only English would be left the next day! Wang Yi remembered that in his previous life, he scored over 590 on the college entrance exam, but his worst subject was English—only 70 out of 150, practically a disability in English. But this time was different. He had intensively studied English and even worked abroad for two years, so his English was fluent. At this moment, he couldn't help but recall his situation before his rebirth… His name was Wang Yi. He was a programmer in the software department of Huawi Group, with an annual salary exceeding one million. The night before his rebirth, the company held a celebration banquet to commemorate the successful development of a mobile operating system whose various metrics far exceeded targets. As a key technical member, he was directly promoted and given a raise, along with stock options, by the company's CEO at the banquet. In his excitement, he drank too much. He blacked out. He woke up to find himself reborn. Promotion, raise, stock options—before he even saw a glimpse of them, it was all gone! Are you kidding me? Wait… the college entrance exam? Wang Yi quickly focused his mind. Did that mean there was something extremely important that he could still salvage? In his previous life, just three days after the college entrance exam, on July 12, 1999, a major event occurred. Wang Yi's father, Wang Xiao, was caught having an affair and fell to his death from the eighth floor of the Hongri Hotel. Wang Yi's mother, Shi Qingqing, was involved in a car accident while rushing to the scene. In less than an hour, Wang Yi lost both parents. This event was a devastating blow, plunging him into his darkest hour and drastically altering his life. Thinking of this, Wang Yi felt a surge of energy, sweat beading on his skin. His eyes sharpened. Heaven had given him a second chance; he had to prevent that tragedy from happening. Whether Wang Xiao lived or died didn't matter; his mother had to be saved. Fortunately, that matter would have to wait a few more days; there was no rush now. Wang Yi sat in his seat, starting his eye-scanning mode, hoping to steal some luck from his surroundings with his 5.0 Eyesight, and ideally solve the two big questions. But soon, he was spotted by the proctor. Meeting those eyes that seemed to see right through him, Wang Yi pretended his neck hurt, twisted it a few times, and then lowered it again. Thinking it would be a waste to leave it blank, he haphazardly copied a few formulas onto the exam paper and scribbled something down. That's it! Whatever! "Ring ring!" The bell rang, the exam was over. Wang Yi walked out of the classroom to the second-floor balcony. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before him, he felt it was all unreal. By 2023, Jiangxing No. 1 High School would be long gone, replaced by a commercial building. "Let's go home, let's go back to Mom!" "Mom's probably on leave these days!" Just as he went downstairs, he ran into a chubby boy. "Brother Yi!" The chubby boy had a watermelon-shaped haircut, a round face, and two dimples when he smiled. Wang Yi looked at him, feeling a sense of familiarity, but couldn't quite place his name: "What's your name again?" "Holy crap, Yi-ge, did you mess up your exam? It's me, Wu Qi." "Oh, Fatty, you've suddenly become so youthful, I almost didn't recognize you." Wu Qi, just one character short of marrying Shishi, what a pity! The two had known each other since childhood, best friends! They'd bathed together, eaten chicken together, played games together, chased dogs together, but they were used to calling each other by nicknames, and he genuinely couldn't remember his real name. Mainly because after Fatty got married and had children in his previous life, he became henpecked, and their contact gradually decreased. Fatty then asked, "Yi-ge, how did you do on that chemistry exam?" Wang Yi casually replied, "Easy!" Fatty frowned and said, "How did you solve the last two big questions? What were the answers?" Wang Yi said, "I didn't do them." Fatty immediately perked up again: "Come on, let's go to the toilet, I'm dying to use it!" The two quickly went to the toilet. As Wang Yi washed his hands, he carefully looked in the mirror. Young! Energetic! Quite handsome! Looking at himself, Wang Yi grinned. Twenty years later, he was overweight, his hairline receding, breathless after climbing just a few flights of stairs, his posture unpredictable… He was nothing like his current 18-year-old self, full of energy, capable of even carrying a tigress on his hind legs… "Brother Yi, I was quite worried about you before, afraid you'd be influenced by He Shuying and fail your college entrance exam," the fat man said, looking at Wang Yi in the mirror. "Who is He Shuying?" Wang Yi, still somewhat dazed from his rebirth, didn't immediately recognize her. Unexpectedly, a clear, cold female voice rang out behind him: "Idiot!" The two quickly turned around. Before him lay a flawless, radiant face, youthful and ethereal, with sparkling eyes like stars. Her skin, smooth and delicate without makeup, was fair and rosy, with delicate eyebrows, red lips, and pearly teeth. Her hair was styled in a high ponytail, and she wore a light yellow blouse and blue jeans, exuding a graceful charm even in her youthful innocence. The girl before him slowly merged with a girl from Wang Yi's memory. This was the goddess, the white moonlight, and the number one school beauty in the hearts of all the boys at No. 1 High School! Her name was Huang Wei! True to her name, she was unparalleled in her beauty! She was also a genuine academic star, ranking first in exams every year. However, this school beauty had a somewhat aloof personality, preferring to be alone and having few friends. Rumor had it that she also had violent tendencies. Once, a suitor and his friends ambushed her in the bike shed, and she beat all four men into the hospital, while she emerged unscathed. Moreover, Wang Yi was her classmate. Huang Wei had just come out of the restroom and was washing her hands at the tap next to Wang Yi. Wang Yi looked at her and said, "Were you talking about me? Am I stupid?" Huang Wei's cold eyes looked at him through the mirror: "Yeah, so what?" Just because she's the school beauty doesn't mean she's so great. Just because she can fight doesn't mean she's so great. The fat guy quickly pulled him away: "Brother Yi, let's go, or we'll get beaten up!" Me... Forget it, I just got reborn, I won't stoop to her level. After walking a few steps, they saw a plastic Coke bottle lying on the ground. There was a trash can not far away. Wang Yi, his childlike heart overflowing after his rebirth, kicked it, hoping to imitate Stephen Chow and kick the Coke bottle into the trash can. But unexpectedly, the bottle didn't fly in the intended direction, but flew straight forward. "Bang!" By sheer coincidence, it hit the back of a middle-aged man with a receding hairline on the head. Wang Yi and the fat guy were both stunned, including Huang Wei who followed behind. "Oh no, it's the headmaster!" The fat guy stammered. The Mediterranean-looking headmaster turned around angrily and rushed over: "Who? Who threw a Coke bottle at me? Was it you?" Uh—Wang Yi looked around and slowly pointed at Huang Wei: "It was her!" Little girl, you called me an idiot, so I'll make you take the blame for me, just to be fair. "Damn it, Yi-ge, don't drag me into this if you're looking for trouble!" "Offending Huang Wei is worse than offending the headmaster!" The fat guy muttered to himself, his legs trembling. He secretly glanced at Huang Wei and, sure enough, saw that the school beauty's face was ashen with anger, her eyes flashing coldly, looking like she was about to hit someone. But in the headmaster's eyes, the fat guy's expression was tantamount to confirming that Huang Wei was the one who threw the Coke bottle. Wang Yi played the good guy again: "Teacher, Huang didn't do it on purpose. She meant to throw the Coke bottle into the trash can, but she accidentally hit you. I'll apologize to you on her behalf. You won't be angry, will you?" Huang Wei looked at him coldly. But she didn't refute him; instead, she really took the blame for Wang Yi. Was it a change of heart, an apology for calling him an idiot earlier? As expected, the expected scolding from the head of student affairs didn't happen. The head of student affairs looked at Huang Wei, his anger completely gone, and instead smiled, saying, "Oh, it was Huang Wei who accidentally hit him. It's alright, it's just a plastic bottle! It didn't hurt at all. By the way, Huang Wei, how was the college entrance exam?" Huang Wei replied, "Not bad! Teacher, I'm sorry!" "It's alright, it's alright! That's all for now, keep up the good work tomorrow!" What a good teacher! However, Wang Yi believed that if he had admitted to being the one who hit him, the head of student affairs wouldn't have been so lenient. This wasn't just because Huang Wei had good grades, but also because she had good parents. Her father was a criminal police captain, and her mother was a department-level leader in a certain department. Seeing the head of student affairs leave, the fat guy immediately said, "I... I have something to do at home, I'll go first, bye-bye!" The fat guy slipped away quickly. Wang Yi, alone with Huang Wei, felt a little guilty: "Well, good luck on the exam, see you later." He also took off running. Huang Wei sneered, "You think you can just run away like that? No way!" She took off chasing after him at breakneck speed, like a wild dog let loose. Wang Yi tragically discovered that, perhaps because he had just been reborn and was still a bit weak, he couldn't outrun the fat guy; the fat guy was yelling ahead, "Brother Yi, don't follow me! Run somewhere else! Don't get me in trouble!" Damn, this is a childhood friend, this is a brother! Wang Yi turned and ran into the small playground, but Huang Wei, like a cheetah, leaped over the flowerbed and tackled him to the ground. I…I've been ridden like a horse by the school's number one beauty! Huang Wei sat on Wang Yi's waist and suddenly twisted his ear: "Run! Why aren't you running anymore? Wang Yi, I didn't expect you to dare report me? No, you're framing me, making me take the blame for you. Tell me, what are you going to do about it!" Wang Yi struggled a few times, but couldn't break free at all. "Huang Wei, get down! Lots of people are watching!" "Oh, so what?" "People will think we're having an affair." "I don't care!" "But, but I do care! You'll make it so I can't find a girlfriend or a wife, are you going to take responsibility? And your children will have to take my surname, are you willing to accept that?" Huang Wei chuckled coldly: "You're dreaming!" At that moment, quite a few passing students saw this scene and immediately started gossiping. "Isn't that Huang Wei, the number one school beauty? What happened? Who's that boy being sat on?" "It must be some blind fool trying to eat swan meat. Now look at him, the boxing champion school beauty!" "Damn, being ridden on by Huang Wei, why should he get off easy? I could do that too!" "If you can, then you do it! You might end up in the hospital later." "..." Wang Yi listened to these pointing fingers and felt his face burning. He was a tall guy, almost 1.8 Meters, and he was being beaten up by the school beauty sitting on him—it was so embarrassing! What should he do? Wang Yi started to panic. This girl, would she really punch me and send me to the hospital? Not only would I ruin my exams, but he'd finally been reborn, able to avert disaster. Was everything going to be ruined because of this girl? No, he couldn't just sit and wait to die. Giving in? That didn't seem likely! This wild girl was impervious to reason; she probably wouldn't soften her heart. He racked his brains, trying to figure out how to stop a girl from clinging to him. Finally, he came up with a brilliant plan. Wang Yi turned his head with difficulty, looked into Huang Wei's eyes, gathered his emotions, and said in a dejected yet affectionate tone, "Okay, Huang Wei, actually, I want to tell you something! I've liked you for a long time. Can you be my girlfriend?" "???" Huang Wei looked surprised. The next second, she grabbed his waist and twisted it hard. "Ah—" Wang Yi screamed. This was completely unexpected. He thought that upon hearing this reason, the school beauty would immediately panic and run away, but she actually used such a cruel method, twisting him even harder than his mother. "Wang Yi, you're such a bastard! You confessed to He Shuying the day before yesterday and got rejected, and today you're saying you like me? Do you think I'm just a backup plan? If you dare say that again, I'll knock your teeth out!" With that, she stood up, tossing her ponytail and striding away with her long legs. Wang Yi got up and sat on the ground. He lifted his shirt to look. Holy crap, it was all purple. "Brother Yi, Brother Yi, are you alright?" The fat guy reappeared furtively, glanced at his waist, and grinned, "It's okay, just a pinch, I didn't really hit you! I was really worried you'd be beaten to death!" "Get lost! Damn it, you call yourself a brother? When your brother's in trouble, you run faster than a dog." "I'm weak as a chicken, staying here would be pointless! If I lived, I could at least collect your corpse." "Get lost, you're spewing filth." "Who said that? I'm just spewing profanities." "Okay, okay, you know how to describe things." The two then walked arm in arm toward the school gate. Suddenly, a sweet, delicate voice rang out from behind. "Wang Yi!" Two girls walked up from behind. One was dressed maturely and alluringly, quite attractive; the other was short and plain-looking. Looking at the attractive girl, a long-buried memory surfaced in Wang Yi's mind. He Shuying?! She was also a school beauty at Jiangxing No. 1 High School, but school beauties are ranked. Some busybodies had listed the six most beautiful girls in the school, collectively known as the Six Great School Beauties. Huang Wei was the pinnacle of Jiangxing No. 1 High School's looks, the undisputed number one school beauty, while He Shuying was on the floor, ranking sixth. Unlike Huang Wei's natural beauty, He Shuying's beauty was entirely artificial, relying on clothing, makeup, and various other embellishments to package herself as an "exquisite" school beauty. In his previous life, Wang Yi had been fooled by her deception and then pursued her relentlessly for three years. Just the day before the college entrance exam, he was still confessing his love to her. Unfortunately, he was rejected. He Shuying was a bit like a fishpond owner; she didn't explicitly reject him, just kept him hanging on, occasionally offering a glimmer of hope, though she had too many fish in her pond. Wang Yi ultimately failed to win her over. And after his family's troubles, she completely kicked him out of the pond. Seeing her again now felt like a lifetime ago. "Wang Yi, how was your exam? You've had a long day, let's go eat. A new Japanese restaurant opened on Nanshan Street, the first in the city, I heard it's really good," He Shuying said, casually tossing her backpack to Wang Yi. It was as if having Wang Yi carry her backpack was a great favor. Having him pay for her Japanese food was an honor for his ancestors. "Thud!" Wang Yi didn't move, and the pink backpack fell to the ground. He Shuying frowned slightly: "What are you doing? Why didn't you take my bag?" Wang Yi looked at her and said, "Didn't you reject me?" He Shuying was stunned for two seconds, then said angrily, "Wang Yi, you're being too childish. Didn't I tell you the other day that we're still young, let's talk about it when we get to college! Besides, I've been good enough to you, haven't I? I even came all the way here today to ask you to treat me to dinner, to give you a way out, what do you want from me?" This is the daily operation of a professional fishpond owner! Although the term "fishpond owner" didn't exist in this era, she had already taught herself it and mastered it. Coming all the way here to ask you to treat me to Japanese food, and even saying she'd treat you, she's really going to great lengths. Family, isn't that amazing? I'm so grateful! Wang Yi looked at He Shuying's face and suddenly grinned: "What I mean is, He Shuying, please break up with me! I'm not good enough for you!" After saying that, he hooked his arm around Wu Qi's shoulder, "Fatty, let's go!" Watching the two figures quickly leave, He Shuying stomped her feet in anger. "What does he mean? What's his attitude? Haven't I been good to him?" "Shuying, I think Wang Yi is embarrassed because he was rejected after confessing to you and all the classmates know about it, so he's saying this on purpose." Feng Liqin said from the side, "How could he dare to break up with you? He'll be back in a few days, it's not the first time." He Shuying thought for a moment and said, "You're right, that jerk, he's getting angry." Meanwhile, Fatty Wu Qi said to Wang Yi, "Brother Yi, you were right not to treat He Shuying to Japanese food. I heard this restaurant is run by Japanese people, the first one in the city. My cousin went there, it's too expensive, it might cost at least two hundred yuan per meal!" In 1999, rice was only nine cents a pound, and pork was two yuan and fifty cents a pound. These were considered normal prices. As for housing prices, the difference with later generations was huge. Old houses in Jiangxing city now cost several hundred yuan per square meter, but in later generations they rose to twenty or thirty thousand yuan, or even higher. One hundred yuan in the year before Wang Yi's rebirth could be used as a thousand yuan. Only Wang Yi's family was relatively well-off, giving him a few hundred yuan in pocket money each month. Wu Qi, on the other hand, only received a few dozen yuan. "Japanese food? Heh, she's dreaming," Wang Yi said with a cold laugh. "Brother Yi, you're not serious, are you? Really going to break off your friendship with He Shuying and stop pursuing her?" The fat man asked. "Why would I lie?" "I don't believe it! You don't seem like that kind of person!" "..." Wang Yi said fiercely, "Fatty, listen up, if I, Wang Yi, continue to be He Shuying's lapdog, I'm a real dog." The fat man was stunned: "Llapdog? Heh, Brother Yi, that description fits you quite well." "Alright, hurry home and study! Good luck!" Wang Yi was in a hurry to go back to his mother and didn't have time for idle chatter. ... Wang Yi boarded the No. 5 Bus at the school gate, following his old memories, heading towards his home. In 1999, buses with air conditioning would have a "K" added before the name, like the K5 route. Unfortunately, this bus wasn't air-conditioned. On this sweltering day, with so many people, Wang Yi felt like he was turning into a salted fish after just a few minutes of being crammed on. These days, nobody was glued to their phones scrolling through short videos or reading novels. Smartphones weren't around for another ten years, and even owning one was rare. Everyone was like sardines in a can, staring blankly out the window. Finally, the female conductor sitting next to the driver shouted at the top of her lungs, "Cuiyuan No. 1 District is almost here! Cuiyuan No. 1 District! Get ready to get off! You can get off from the front or back door!" The bus erupted in chaos. Wang Yi stepped on several people's feet, and amidst the shoving, finally managed to get off. Across from the bus stop was the entrance to Cuiyuan No. 1 District. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Wang Yi felt a lump in his throat, overwhelmed with mixed emotions. In his previous life, right after graduating from university, he sold his house here, essentially escaping the city to develop his career in Shenzhen! It's been almost twenty years since I last came here. It's still exactly as I remember it. Building 7, Unit 1, Room 301. Wang Yi nervously knocked on the door. He was afraid this rebirth was just a dream, afraid a stranger would open the door… Until the door opened and he saw a woman standing before him, her hair tied back and wearing an apron, Wang Yi's jaw trembled, his heart felt like it was about to stop, and he couldn't speak. "Xiao Yi, you're back. Was the exam difficult?" A gentle and long-lost voice sounded, and Wang Yi's eyes instantly reddened. He rushed over and hugged her. "Mom…" Wang Yi didn't want to cry, but he really couldn't hold back. Wang Yi's mother was named Shi Qingqing, a nurse at Jiangxing City Central Hospital. During Wang Yi's college entrance exam period, she specially changed her shift and took leave to take care of her little darling at home. Unexpectedly, after the exam the next day, he came home and hugged her, crying his eyes out. Shi Qingqing's heart skipped a beat; she had a bad feeling. If it were just a bad test score, given her son's personality, he would never cry like this, so… "Wang Yi, did you cheat during the exam?" Shi Qingqing had a beautiful face, naturally gorgeous, and looked like she was in her thirties even though she was in her early forties. She was usually gentle and smiling, but when she got serious, she was incredibly fierce, and she could beat people even harder than Wang Yi's father. Wang Yi was taken aback. Shi Qingqing continued, "You got caught cheating? You were disqualified from the exam?" Wang Yi wiped his face: "No!" Shi Qingqing looked puzzled: "Then why are you howling like that? Oh, you got rejected again?" Wang Yi was shocked: "How did you know?" Shi Qingqing laughed: "Of course someone told me." "Holy crap, it must be that fat bastard Wu Qi!" Wu Qi's mother was also a nurse at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and had a good relationship with Shi Qingqing. This was why Wang Yi had been able to play with Wu Qi since childhood. Shi Qingqing knew about this because Wu Qi had told his mother, and then the news spread back. As a result, Shi Qingqing said, "It wasn't Wu Qi's mother who told me, it was your homeroom teacher, Teacher Gao." "???" "Son, love is about mutual consent. If someone doesn't like you, don't be so stubborn. Someone will like you in the future! Besides, how old are you? You're not even fully grown yet. Do you know how to handle a woman lying in front of you?" Wang Yi was shocked. What kind of indecent words were these? No wonder she's a nurse; she shouldn't be teaching children bad things. "During the college entrance exam, crying over something like this, you're really something. Don't you know what's important? Let me tell you, your dad already said that if you can't even get into a junior college, you shouldn't study anymore and can go work as a laborer with him." Wang Yi immediately said, "Mom, that confession was just a joke, I didn't take it seriously! I couldn't help it because I saw... You have crow's feet around your eyes. Without realizing it, my mom has gotten old, and I haven't even taken care of you yet!" Shi Qingqing immediately pushed her son away and ran to look in the mirror. Crow's feet? Not bad! This son of a bitch, he just knows how to scare his mother! Seeing his vain mother, Wang Yi's mood improved. Countless nights he'd thought of that face; now, seeing her alive, what could he possibly be unhappy about? "How did the exam go? Tell me honestly!" Shi Qingqing asked. "So easy!" "Speak plainly!" "Incredibly easy. I doubt you could even pass the imperial examination." "Keep dreaming. Go wash your hands and eat." Shi Qingqing didn't have high expectations for her son; a bachelor's degree would be best, but a junior college would be fine too. Wang Yi checked the time and asked, "Where's your husband?" He didn't even want to call that man "Dad." Old dog Wang, unworthy! Shi Qingqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your dad's working overtime at the company today. He'll be back late. They're finishing up a project, very busy. Don't blame him." Wang Yi's face darkened. Was he working overtime at the company, or was he having a meal with another woman? He decided to find out tonight. If he could expose this beforehand, he wouldn't be caught cheating by the police, wouldn't have fallen to his death, and his mother wouldn't have gotten into trouble. After finishing his meal, Wang Yi made an excuse to go for a walk to clear his head, and then went out. He checked the time after going downstairs; it was only 6:30. So early, he probably wouldn't catch his father cheating. He strolled leisurely through the old neighborhood, feeling his youthful body and experiencing the bygone days. He encountered several elderly men and women he remembered from his past life who had long since been cremated. "Little Yi, out for a walk? How did the exams go?" "Not bad, not bad." "Don't pretend! Your mother always said your grades were terrible, you couldn't even get into a junior college. You should just go work on a construction site with your father, it's a waste of money to send you to school!" "???" Those old folks are so uncultured. Books are a treasure trove of knowledge, books are a treasure trove of beauty. They actually believed his mother's casual jokes? Oh well, respect the dead, I won't stoop to their level. At the entrance of the neighborhood, Wang Yi took a taxi directly to the Jiangxing branch of Dongfang Third Construction Company, where his father, Wang Xiao, worked as the office director in charge of administration. His mother said he was working overtime, but Wang Yi didn't believe her. He planned to go to the company office to check if he was there. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw his father, Wang Xiao, quickly coming out of the company gate, carrying a bag and walking away. "He really is at the company!" "Is he getting off work and heading home?" Wang Yi frowned. He had come to detonate the landmine beforehand, otherwise the threat couldn't be eliminated, but now it seemed he'd made a wasted trip… However, he quickly realized something was wrong. Wang Xiao usually rode a motorcycle to work; he wasn't walking home. Wang Yi quietly followed. He saw Wang Xiao turn a corner and enter a building. It was the Red Sun Hotel. "Damn it, you old lecher!" "You can't escape the Red Sun Hotel, can you?" Although he already knew that Wang Xiao had met his end here in his previous life, and today was the day Wang Yi was taking the college entrance exam, his father was here fooling around with another woman. His hatred intensified. If it weren't for saving his mother, he would have turned around and left, never caring about this scum again, whether he lived or died. But he still went in. They only missed each other by a few dozen meters. Wang Xiao had already gone upstairs, and Wang Yi saw the elevator go up to the eighth floor, but he didn't know which room Wang Xiao had gone to. What to do? After thinking for a moment, he walked towards the front desk. In 1999, hotel computers weren't common, but there was definitely identification registration for room check-in. He approached a receptionist in her early twenties: "Miss, could you do me a favor? My dad is staying at your hotel, but I don't know which room he's in." The receptionist looked at Wang Yi with some surprise: "What did you call me?" "Miss"—that kind of address didn't exist in this day and age! Wang Yi smacked his lips: "Auntie!" The receptionist immediately said, "Auntie? Do I look that old? 'Miss' sounds nice, please call me 'Miss,' but we can't just reveal guests' information." Wang Yi said, "He's my dad, can't I reveal that too? Miss, please help me, I'm a college entrance exam candidate this year, I need to talk to him about something important, otherwise I won't be able to get into the exam hall tomorrow." "Your exam admission ticket is with your dad?" "Yes... Ah!" "What's your dad's name? Let me check for you!" "Thank you, Miss, you're so beautiful and kind, you'll definitely find a Prince Charming someday." "I already have a little prince." It turns out that the lack of widespread cell phone use has its advantages, otherwise the receptionist would definitely have said, "Call your dad!" Although Wang Xiao did indeed have a Motorola phone. The receptionist searched for a long time but couldn't find Wang Xiao's name, so Wang Yi gave another name: Shao Meifeng. That's right, the one who was caught having an affair with Wang Xiao. And sure enough, she found it. Room number: 801. The receptionist looked puzzled: "Wait a minute, you're looking for your dad. Who's Shao Meifeng? Is she your mom?" Wang Yi shook his head: "No, she's my aunt." Before the receptionist could react, he ran straight to the elevator, laughing as he said, "Thank you, miss. When I get into Tsinghua University, I'll take you on a day trip there." Watching Wang Yi get on the elevator, the receptionist smiled, wondering to herself: Why are his dad and his aunt sharing a room? That's so inconvenient! Could there be some story behind this? She should have called up to ask, but Wang Yi's banter made her forget. Wang Yi quickly went up to the eighth floor and finally saw room number 801. Just then, the door to room 802 across the hall suddenly opened. He instinctively turned around and saw someone who should absolutely not be there. Boxing champion and school beauty Huang Wei?! Huang Wei also saw Wang Yi. Their eyes met, and Huang Wei's gaze shifted from shock to coldness. Then she grabbed Wang Yi's ear, dragged him forcefully into room 802, and slammed the door shut. "Hey, hey, Huang Wei, what are you doing? Let go! If you don't let go, I'll hit you back!" Huang Wei pinned him against the wall and sneered, "What am I doing? I'd like to ask you what you're doing! Wang Yi, did you lose your mind after He Shuying rejected you? You actually followed me all the way here?" Wang Yi had only been thinking about catching her cheating, but now he was a little confused. How did Huang Wei end up here? He glanced around the room; there was no one else. The desk lamp was on, and the room was filled with textbooks and workbooks. It seemed she had just been working on a test. "What are you doing here?" Wang Yi asked. Huang Wei stared at him: "Do I need to report to you?" However, Wang Yi had a rough idea by now. During the college entrance exam period, some students found their homes too noisy or the commute too far, so they simply stayed in hotels—it was common practice. Seeing Wang Yi still looking around... Huang Wei slapped Wang Yi's face a few times. "You've got some nerve, daring to follow me! Wang Yi, I used to think you were a bit stupid, but now I realize you're actually a little abnormal." Wang Yi's eyes widened. "You think I'm stupid? You little brat, who are you calling stupid!" "You've been completely fooled by He Shuying for three years and you still haven't woken up. What else is that but stupidity?" "I... Okay, I admit I was a bit stupid before, but not anymore! I've broken off all ties with her!" "Does that have anything to do with me?" "No." "Then why are you following me?" "I'm not following you, you dragged me in here. I'm looking for my dad!" Huang Wei paused for three seconds, then sneered, "I think you're looking for death. You're going to my room to find your dad? Are you trying to call me mom?" Wang Yi pouted. "My dad's in 801!" Huang Wei paused for a full seven seconds this time, thinking about what had just happened. Maybe... She really had misunderstood. Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly pushed Wang Yi towards the door. "Go, go, go find your dad across the street, don't bother me here!" The door opened, and Huang Wei pushed Wang Yi outside: "Remember, if you haven't seen me here today, nothing happened between us..." Before she could finish speaking, the door across the street, 801, suddenly opened. Wang Xiao opened the door and saw his son, who was entangled with Huang Wei, and he was completely stunned.

    The unique "beast-like superpower" setting subverts traditional urban fantasy. In this world, the boundary between humans and beasts is not innate, but rather awakened through experience. The protagonist, Gao Yang, unexpectedly acquires a mysterious bloodline and is forced into a racial war spanning millennia. Beast-like beings lurk in the modern city, and superpower organizations are rife with undercurrents. The setting is novel, and the world-building is grand and self-consistent.
