Chapter 1

On February 29, 2008, a Friday, at the Queen's Pier in Hong Kong, outside the Queen's District.

"Xizai, you're still young, you shouldn't be thinking about dating. You should focus on your studies and get into a good university, understand?"

"Auntie, I understand," Wang Guanxi said helplessly, looking at the auntie who sold milk tea. Her name was Shufang Ping, and she sold milk tea outside the Queen's District. She was very热情 and kind, unable to have children, and remained unmarried. She adopted a little girl from an orphanage years ago, named Shujinghan. She was extremely beautiful, with a fantastic figure, and was the prettiest girl in school. Wang Guanxi had long been captivated by her, and the memory was vivid. One day, during a school field trip, she carried two small steamed buns with her. Wang Guanxi was hungry and couldn't resist biting one.

At that moment, she opened her eyes, angrily pushed Wang Guanxi's head away, and ran off.

At this point, Shufang Ping said again, "If you get into the University of Hong Kong, Auntie won't object to you pursuing Jinghan."

"This is the love letter you wrote to Jinghan. Take it back now. Auntie didn't open it."

"Take it."

"Focus on your studies from now on. Jinghan needs to study. If you really like her, don't disturb her studies now."

As she spoke, Shufang Ping handed the beautifully crafted love letter back to Wang Guanxi.

"I'm returning it for her."

Wang Guanxi took the love letter, his face serious. "Auntie, don't worry. I won't deliver any more love letters to Jinghan."

He had just been reborn today, and the love letter was placed in Shujinghan's backpack yesterday. Today, Shufang Ping talked to him and returned the love letter on Jinghan's behalf, just like in his previous life.

Following the original course of events, Wang Guanxi had indeed listened to Shufang Ping, kept the love letter he wrote, and didn't disturb Shujinghan anymore. As a result, they never got together. When Shujinghan went to university, she was sent to Cambridge University for further studies due to her excellent grades.

Shufang Ping's actions today were indeed wise, and he couldn't help but admire her protective nature. However, since he had been reborn, he wasn't going to fall for her tactics again.

"Huh? You didn't write it?" Shufang Ping was stunned, very surprised. Then she asked, "Xizai, you're not lying to Auntie, are you?"

Wang Guanxi said seriously, "I haven't spoken to her in a long time. This love letter was written by another boy in school, and he asked me to give it to Jinghan."

"Huh? Is that so?" Shufang Ping asked again, "Who is he?"

Wang Guanxi said apologetically, "Auntie, I can't tell you."

Shufang Ping asked, "Why can't you tell me?"

Wang Guanxi replied, "What if you go to the school to find him? He would lose face. I can't betray him."

Shufang Ping said, "Alright then. Focus on your studies and don't think about dating. You're still very young. Tell your male classmate to stop disturbing Jinghan's studies. Otherwise, I'll go to the school and talk to the teachers and his parents."

If she had known, she would have opened the love letter to see who wrote it.

Wang Guanxi said firmly, "Auntie, don't worry. It won't happen again. I'll keep an eye on it. If anyone disturbs Jinghan's studies, I'll tell you right away."

"Alright then," Shufang Ping was relieved and gave Wang Guanxi a cup of milk tea.

"Have a cup of milk tea. It's free, no need to pay."

"Auntie, you keep it."

"Take it, take it."

Then, Wang Guanxi drank the milk tea and entered the Queen's District.

The district was made up of old, ordinary residential buildings, narrow, crowded, and dilapidated. The density was overwhelming, and people with a fear of density wouldn't want to come to such a place.

Many of the residents' homes were corroded by rain, and black moss grew in many places.

The residential buildings had no balconies, only small iron rods where various clothes, including women's underwear and panties, were hung. When the wind blew, they would fall to the ground or onto other people's windowsills.

The buildings were also covered with old air conditioners, densely packed.

This was a poor area in Hong Kong, and there were many such districts in the city.

Hong Kong was a place where every inch of land was valuable, with high prices and living costs. Housing prices were unaffordable. People who had worked in Hong Kong for decades or half their lives, unable to buy a house, could only rent and live in cramped conditions, with no hope of buying a house.

The house in the Queen's District was left by Wang Guanxi's grandparents.

"2008, I've been reborn," Wang Guanxi, wearing a light blue school uniform and carrying a small black backpack, sighed.

This was where his home was.

He was currently 16 years old, born into a very ordinary family in Hong Kong, with both parents working ordinary jobs.

He was quite handsome, with a narrow, long face, evenly distributed features, and a well-proportioned face. His eyes were not large but were bright and full of spirit. He had thin lips and a slightly small mouth, giving him a cool and handsome look. Wang Guanxi lived up to his name.

He quickly returned home. Due to his recent rebirth, he still had many memories to process, and his head felt a bit dizzy. So he put down his backpack and took a nap.

When he woke up, his parents had already returned, and dinner was ready.

"Xizai, you're up. Get ready to eat," his mother, Mo Yunzhen, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes. "I made your favorite stir-fried pork belly with green beans tonight."

It was a very fragrant dish.

"Okay, I'll be right there," Wang Guanxi washed his face and mouth, then went to the small living room.

His father, Wang Junming, had just finished hanging clothes and still had wet hands. He said to Wang Guanxi, "Xizai, we're out of laundry detergent. Go buy a pack."

He gave Wang Guanxi 100 Hong Kong dollars to buy the detergent.

Wang Guanxi took the money, went to the supermarket downstairs to buy the detergent, and then did some housework with the family.

Dinner was simple, with stir-fried pork belly with green beans, eggplant, and egg noodles, all very fragrant.

The family of three enjoyed their meal.

Suddenly, Mo Yunzhen asked with a smile, "Have you been disturbing Shujinghan's studies recently?"

When she came home from work today, she happened to meet Shujinghan's mother, Shufang Ping, and they chatted.

Wang Guanxi explained, "I haven't disturbed her."

Mo Yunzhen smiled, "Today, Shufang Ping told me that you and another boy in school have been disturbing Shujinghan's studies. You even helped deliver a love letter to her."

"Did you write it?"

Wang Guanxi replied, "How could I have written it? I haven't spoken to her in a long time."

He didn't expect Shufang Ping to still be worried about him, thinking he still had designs on her daughter. So she told his mother.

Really, was it necessary?

It felt like she was treating him like a thief, preventing him from getting close to her daughter.

Fortunately, he didn't admit to writing the love letter, or he would have been called in for talks every day.

Mo Yunzhen smiled, "That's good. Don't affect her studies, and don't neglect your own."

"You're still young, don't rush into dating."

Wang Guanxi replied, "I understand. I won't help anyone deliver love letters anymore."
