"Chen Yu, this afternoon at five o'clock, outside the school playground in the small woods."
"I’m bringing people to settle things with Shi Lezhi."
"Sure, brother, just come."
Chen Yu snapped awake, finding himself sitting at his desk, holding a book. He closed the book and tossed it onto the desk just as he received a phone call.
Chen Yu was taken aback.
"What’s going on?"
A confident voice came from the phone, sounding rather manly:
"Of course, it's a fight."
"Men should settle things with their fists."
"Shen Jin!"
Chen Yu scoffed.
"What can’t be solved by calling the police?"
The voice on the other end shouted back:
"Are you still my brother or not?"
Chen Yu snorted coldly:
"If you were really my brother, you wouldn't be calling me to fight."
With that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
After hanging up, Chen Yu stared in disbelief, his eyes wide open. What was going on? What was this situation?
He instinctively looked down at his clothes and confirmed his predicament upon seeing his school uniform. He had crossed over into this novel that made him both angry and anxious.
Rubbing his temples, Chen Yu tried to recall what had happened before. He remembered lying in bed reading a recently popular novel. The name of the pathetic side character in the story was exactly the same as his own, which made it easy for him to relate.
After witnessing the side character's pitiful actions, he had exploded in rage. Then, out of nowhere, a sharp pain gripped his heart, and he fainted.
"How could I suddenly be in a book? Did I die from anger?"
"Ding! Novel Reversal System successfully bound."
Suddenly, a noise startled Chen Yu as he looked around in confusion.
"Who is speaking?"
Chen Yu looked around for a long time but couldn't find the source of the voice.
"Stop looking; my voice is in your consciousness."
As a seasoned novel enthusiast, Chen Yu had a premonition.
"Are you my Goldfinger System? Haha, it seems every transmigrator needs a system."
Chen Yu felt a surge of excitement.
"Yes, host. System 9527 is at your service."
Chen Yu nervously asked, "System, am I dead?"
His hands instinctively clenched; after all, the concept of transmigration was too bizarre, and the question of life and death made him somewhat anxious.
"No, host. You just fainted from being overly emotional."
Hearing this response, Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest.
"That's great! So how do I go back?"
He asked with growing excitement.
"The host must fulfill the original owner's wish to return to your world," 9527 replied.
"How... how do I do that? What was his wish? You have to tell me! And what about the plot? I haven't finished reading the novel!"
Chen Yu anxiously shouted in his mind.
The system seemed to pause for a moment before the mechanical voice sounded again.
"Plot transmission begins."
The original owner had excellent grades since childhood.
In the same building across from him lived a neighbor with a daughter named Liu Ru Yan, who was a year older than him.
As a child, she was already a beauty—gentle, virtuous, and intelligent.
The two had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, attending kindergarten and elementary school side by side.
The original owner was very fond of this older sister by a year.
He entered middle school a year later than Liu Ru Yan and developed feelings for her during that time.
To pursue his vague affection, he worked hard and successfully skipped a grade.
After graduating from middle school, they both entered the same high school and were placed in the same class, which thrilled the original owner.
In their first year of high school, the top class paired with regular classes; the original owner's mother, Duan Xia, helped him choose his partner named Xiao Jiba.
Xiao Jiba came from a rural background and had a difficult family situation; his biological mother left when he was still an infant.
His father struggled to raise him and later started a small business, earning just enough money to sponsor him into high school with several thousand yuan.
Xiao Jiba was also quite a handful; he was two years older than the original owner.
When he graduated from junior high school in his first year with poor grades, his father spent money but couldn't get him into high school. The following year, he repeated the grade, barely managing to scrape by. Through various connections, he finally managed to pay his way into a high school.
By a strange coincidence, the original owner bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Jiba. The original owner's mother, Duan Xia, said that it was precisely because they looked alike that she chose Xiao Jiba as someone to help her son. She claimed it was an overflow of maternal love; she couldn't bear to see someone who resembled her son struggling academically.
On weekends and holidays, Duan Xia would invite Xiao Jiba to their home to tutor him. During these times, she would prepare a feast for both boys, hoping to nourish them. However, despite the good intentions of the mother and son, it all went to waste. Xiao Jiba still became Ghostfire Yout.
When Ghostfire Yout rang out, it meant that the parents had wasted their efforts. What broke the original owner's heart was that during one weekend trip home, he discovered that his crush, Liu Ru Yan, was actually flirting with Xiao Jiba. It dawned on him that Xiao Jiba had been patient enough to come over for tutoring just so he could have opportunities to chat with Liu Ru Yan during their shared trips.
It was never about studying at all. The original owner was awkward and clueless about romance, while Liu Ru Yan was quiet; both were model students living a calm and uneventful life without any ripples. The arrival of Xiao Jiba brought a spark to Liu Ru Yan's eyes. With a voice as sweet as honey, Xiao Jiba captivated her.
As they spent more time together, Liu Ru Yan's rebellious side began to surface. The two became inseparable, shining like the brightest Ghostfire Yout under the night sky. However, after getting together with Xiao Jiba, Liu Ru Yan's grades plummeted from the top class to an ordinary one.
That summer after the college entrance exams, tensions between Xiao Jiba and Shi Lezhi erupted. It wasn't anything major; it started late at night when they were riding Ghostfire Yout around town and accidentally bumped into each other. Xiao Jiba thought it was intentional and felt he had to retaliate; otherwise, he would lose face.
As misunderstandings piled up, their conflict deepened. They had fought several times already. Perhaps it was due to the long-standing pressure after the exams; both boys were young and hot-blooded. In a heated exchange of words, things escalated into violence.
Shi Lezhi ended up severely injured and hospitalized. As the older brother figure, if Xiao Jiba were caught by Hat Uncle, he would definitely face jail time. What shocked the original owner was that his own mother, Duan Xia, suggested he turn himself in at the police station for Xiao Jiba. Her reasoning was that since he was still a minor, he wouldn't face severe punishment—at most just some fines and education.
Liu Ru Yan also rushed to the original owner's home, pleading desperately by his side. The original owner, unfamiliar with the law, softened at their pleas and agreed to help them. As a result, he was sentenced to three years in prison because the other party's parents refused to forgive him.
When the acceptance letter from a prestigious university arrived at his home, Duan Xia consulted Xiao Jiba, suggesting that since they looked alike, Xiao Jiba could take the original owner's place at university. Xiao Jiba shaved off his blonde hair and grew it out black. That summer, while the original owner was in prison, Xiao Jiba attended university.
The original owner's father, who had been away for years, returned home only to learn that his beloved son was in prison. He blamed Duan Xia for not raising him properly and demanded a divorce. Before the divorce was finalized, the original owner’s father, drowning his sorrows in alcohol, got drunk and fell asleep on the road, only to be crushed by a passing truck.
Upon his release from prison, the original owner was stunned to find that Duan Xia had married Xiao Jiba's father—more accurately, they had remarried. It turned out that the mother who had abandoned Xiao Jiba was Duan Xia herself. Initially helping Xiao Jiba was indeed an overflow of maternal love; she had noticed that Xiao Jiba's father was doing well in business and felt guilty towards Xiao Jiba.
During the time he was incarcerated, Duan Xia never visited the original owner even once. After his release, he received not a single penny of compensation from the insurance company for his father's death.
Feeling frustrated, the original owner returned to his hometown to take over his grandfather's land and began growing flowers. Gradually, he established a Fresh Flower Farm that gained some local fame.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jiba was merely playing around at university and struggled with poor grades, almost failing to graduate. After finally obtaining his diploma, he became ambitious and planned to start a business but ended up losing everything he invested.
In a fit of frustration one stormy night, he drove under the influence and hit someone. That night, amidst heavy rain, Duan Xia and Liu Ru Yan knelt before the original owner, pleading earnestly.
“Please help your brother just this once; he’s drunk but you’re sober—his punishment will surely be lighter.”
“Chen Yu, can you bear to see my child born without a father?”
Under their moral coercion, the original owner took the fall again, resulting in another seven years of imprisonment.
