I Was Reborn, and I'm Lying Flat Now

Shi Nanjing opened his eyes and found himself back in the summer after the college entrance exams.

Thinking of how, in his previous life, he had worked himself to death only to end up lying in a hospital bed hooked up to tubes, with no one to care for him, he calmly hung up on his father and changed his university application from Jingbei University to a local Project 985 university.

After pushing himself to the limit in his last life, all he wanted this time around was to be a lazy fish.

Ding!

[You have been bound to the Lazy Fish Comeback System.]

Shi Nanjing: "…"

Making a comeback was out of the question. He ignored the System's constant notifications and took a bus back to Sanshui Town, a place he had never returned to in his previous life after a twist of fate.

As soon as he got back to town, Shi Nanjing ran into a person and a cat.

The cat was nowhere to be seen during the day, only returning at night to sleep. After eating its fill and being pampered, it would lick its mouth and disappear.

Shi Nanjing: "I've run into a rotten cat."

The person didn't seem rotten, but he did seem a little short on cash. Even in a wheelchair, he worked three shifts: selling breakfast in the morning, working as a massage therapist in the afternoon, and grilling skewers at night. He seemed to be everywhere in town.

Shi Nanjing: "I've run into a workaholic."

Much later, after witnessing a shocking transformation, he finally understood why the cat was never home and why the man was always so busy.

Shi Nanjing folded the wheelchair's armrest away, swung a leg over, and straddled the man. "What I asked before doesn't count. I'll ask you again, Li Chongjun, will you come home with me?"

Li Chongjun smiled and kissed the tip of Shi Nanjing's nose.

Shi Nanjing picked number six from a row of big guys.

He never expected the one who showed up to be a disabled man in a wheelchair.

The man's hair was shaved very short, almost to the scalp. His strong brow made him look a little fierce.

His gray clothes were worn and faded from washing, and Shi Nanjing suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

------It's not easy for disabled people to get back to work.

Just as Shi Nanjing's mind wandered, a voice asked, "Is this pressure okay?"

A pair of long-fingered hands held his ankle, his foot resting on the man's thigh.

Shi Nanjing curled his toes and came back to himself. "A little too much. I can't take that much pressure."

Li Chongjun took a drag of his cigarette and looked at the person who had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Shoes still on, clothes unchanged, things piled up on the sofa and bed.

The living room looked as if it had been ransacked. He stubbed out his cigarette and resigned himself to cleaning up.

Might as well do it. What else could he do, leave?

A lazy fish cuddles a cat, and a man cuddles a lazy fish~

The gong will be able to stand again! It'll take a little help from the right time, place, and people.
