Chapter 1: An 8-year-old's naivety shouldn't be disliked.
In August, the afternoon sun in Yancheng was still bright.
Cars came and went on the road, and on the sidewalk beside the road, Jiang Cheng got up from the ground and brushed the dust off his knees.
"To fall on such a wide road, that's so embarrassing..."
Jiang Cheng cursed his bad luck inwardly and unconsciously glanced around. A red sedan was parked nearby, with the window open, and he could see the woman sitting in the driver's seat.
Having already moved beyond his lowbrow tastes, he was still momentarily amazed by the woman's charm.
The woman had exquisitely beautiful features, her red lips were as vibrant as blood, and her large, slightly cold eyes were staring straight at him as she leaned back lazily in her chair.
Seeing Jiang Cheng looking over, the woman couldn't help but chuckle, as if she was amused by his appearance.
Jiang Cheng immediately looked away; he had really lost face!
But when Jiang Cheng looked up, he was stunned.
The roadside street was sparsely populated, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the green trees. Two discarded plastic bags twirled and spun in the wind, a scene that was both familiar and strange.
"Wasn't I just taking a break in my office chair?"
Jiang Cheng stared blankly at the bunch of red roses wrapped in pink oil paper lying on the ground in front of him.
He may forget the gentle breeze, he may forget the green leaves, but he will never forget that afternoon when he held that bouquet of flowers.
Twenty years ago, during the summer after the college entrance examination, one afternoon, he held a bouquet of flowers like this and confessed his feelings to Zhou Chuyao, whom he had liked and pursued for a long time.
The process is blurred, and so is the result.
In a daze, he only remembered that after that day, he pursued it for many more years.
Until Zhou Chuyao's wedding, Zhou Chuyao, with tears of joy in her eyes, said to him, "Thank you for your blessing, you will always be my best friend."
It was then that he learned that Zhou Chuyao, who had always been single, was already in someone else's arms.
……
After repeatedly confirming, Jiang Cheng was certain that he had been reborn.
I was reborn to that afternoon 20 years ago.
Fortunately, I'm still on Earth, still myself, unlike in the novel where I went somewhere else.
He took two steps forward and picked up the wrapped bunch of red roses from the ground.
You can avoid the detours in life, but your youth should not be looked down upon.
I took a sniff; the flowers smelled wonderful, like the sky of an eighteen-year-old and the gentle afternoon breeze.
"Jiang Cheng, why are you so slow?"
Suddenly a clear female voice came from inside. The voice was familiar, but it sounded a little immature.
Jiang Cheng looked up and saw Zhou Chuyao, wearing a white t-shirt with a doll print, jeans, and white sneakers, running towards him.
Jiang Cheng looked dazed, but he knew that what was rushing towards him was youth, not the future.
"Jiang Cheng, what are you doing? We agreed to meet at the intersection. I waited for you for so long, and you're just standing here in a daze."
Thank goodness I saw you, otherwise I don't know how much longer I would have had to wait.
Zhou Chuyao frowned, her expression displeased.
"Hey, what is this?"
Zhou Chuyao saw the bouquet of flowers Jiang Cheng was holding, and her face lit up with joy, but the joy was fleeting, and she said seriously:
"Are you planning to send me flowers and confess your feelings?"
"Jiangcheng, let me tell you, you can't do this. You can't confess your love to people on TV. No one will like someone like you who has no redeeming qualities. People will only lie to you!"
Luckily, we have a good relationship..."
Towards the end, Zhou Chuyao's tone softened as she said, "It's good that you confessed to me. I won't lie to you. Actually, I like you too, but I haven't decided yet."
"Hurry up and give me the flowers, let's go shopping first."
As Zhou Chuyao spoke, she reached out to take the bouquet of flowers from Jiang Cheng's hand.
Jiang Cheng flinched slightly, dodging her hand.
I can hardly believe it; I actually had the privilege of hearing such outrageous remarks firsthand.
However, this doesn't seem to be the first time.
In the future, everyone will know that this is the lowest level of operation. At this time, there is no concept of PUA. In fact, for some gifted people, it is something they can say off the cuff.
For example, Zhou Chuyao.
"What do you mean, Jiang Cheng!"
Zhou Chuyao didn't get the flowers and looked at Jiang Cheng with displeasure. Jiang Cheng never refused her!
Jiang Cheng just looked at her, but didn't want to talk to her. He stepped forward and brushed past Zhou Chuyao, smelling the flowers he was holding.
It seems to be stronger and clearer than the previous fragrance.
Looking up, the red sedan was still parked by the roadside, but the woman inside had already gotten out.
She leaned against the driver's side door with her arms crossed, looking at him curiously.
The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with striking features, a high nose bridge, a small face, and a slender figure with curves in all the right places.
She was wearing high-heeled sandals, her fair feet resting on the curb.
She wore black trousers that reached just above her ankles, instantly revealing her long, straight legs. She also wore a black tight-fitting tank top and a light white outer garment.
In later generations, this type would be called a mature, sophisticated woman.
Jiang Cheng saw his curious eyes and, as if possessed, stopped and glanced at the roses he was holding.
You can avoid the detours in life, but the naivety of youth should not be disliked.
Jiang Cheng, holding a bouquet of roses, walked up to Shen Youqing amidst her slightly surprised gaze.
Shen Youqing glanced at the roses that were handed to her, then pointed at herself with her manicured finger, "Seriously, little brother? You dare to hit on an older sister like me?"
Jiang Cheng was stunned the moment he handed over the flowers. Did he think he was so great after being reborn that he didn't care about saving face?
But the Overlord had already drawn his bow; this arrow could not be left unreleased!
Being rejected by the woman in front of him would truly be a double tragedy, no, a triple one.
I just tripped and fell...
Jiang Cheng licked his lips and said seriously, "I'm a college student. I may not have much else, but I'm bold."
Nothing is more effective than the title of college student, which emphasizes purity and innocence!
Moreover, in the early years, there were few college students, and the title of college student often carried additional weight.
Shen Youqing looked at her younger brother, who was slightly taller than her even though he was wearing high heels, and suddenly reached out to cover her mouth, threw her head back and burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that the straps of her suspenders seemed unable to bear the weight.
If it were any other young man, he would surely be blushing with embarrassment standing in front of the woman at this moment.
But having been reborn into Jiangcheng 20 years ago, he could only give her a polite glance as a sign of respect, since it was their first meeting.
Since we're not familiar with each other, it's not appropriate to keep showing respect.
It took Shen Youqing a while to finally stop laughing. She stretched out her beautiful finger and dabbed at the tears in the corner of her eye.
Then, with a strange expression, she glanced at Zhou Chuyao behind Jiang Cheng and said to Jiang Cheng, "Aren't you afraid that your sister will lie to you?"
Jiang Cheng said, "I'm a little looking forward to it."
Shen Youqing was taken aback. He hadn't expected that his younger brother, who said he was bold, was truly bold.
Moreover, he has delicate features and is indeed quite handsome.
Shen Youqing reached out and took the flowers from Jiang Chen's hands, sniffed them lightly, and then reached out and grabbed the car door handle.
"Well, little brother, you actually have the guts to get on the bus?"
