Reborn as a Painkiller

[One]

They had known each other for four years and been married for three.

On the surface, Cheng Zhou was a warm, mature man. In reality, he was secretly passionate, difficult, and always said the opposite of what he meant.

So it was only natural that Jing Yu learned from someone else that Cheng Zhou had held onto an unforgotten first love for years.

You can't force love. Jing Yu, being considerate, suggested a divorce. "Let's stay friends."

"..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the call.

On his way to the divorce proceedings, Jing Yu was in a car accident. The car was wrecked, and he died.

Reborn, he returned to the eve of starting high school.

Jing Yu: I got more than ten years for free, so I might as well make the most of them.

He didn't stay in his hometown like he had in his previous life. Instead, he chose to attend a prestigious high school in a big city.

But he never expected to meet Cheng Zhou there, when they weren't supposed to meet until ten years later, while studying abroad.

[Two]

After starting high school, Cheng Zhou met a strange guy.

Though they'd only known each other for a short time, the guy was inexplicably familiar with him and knew all sorts of things about him, as if he understood him very well.

He knew Cheng Zhou had severe motion sickness and was allergic to mangoes. He even thought something was wrong with Cheng Zhou's legs and told him to take his medicine properly.

"There's nothing wrong with my legs. You must be mistaking me for someone else."

Cheng Zhou's expression turned a little cold.

Jing Yu froze, as though recalling someone. "Oh, right. Your legs are fine now..."

"..."

For some reason, Cheng Zhou felt even more irritated.

Later, once they got to know each other, this guy even started lecturing him, earnestly advising him:

"You need to open your mouth. You're a mute all day long. If you don't say what you're thinking, how will anyone know?"

"..."

Cheng Zhou: Jing Yu is the most annoying person in the world.

[Three]

Before the college entrance exams, Cheng Zhou made up his mind.

If Jing Yu couldn't get into a university in his city, he would apply to one in Jing Yu's city.

They'd been inseparable throughout high school. They'd stay that way forever, Cheng Zhou thought, naturally.

But...
