WeChat chat.
[You transferred 5,200 RMB to Lin Shanshan.]
Su Can: "Happy birthday, Lin Shanshan, I like you!"
[The 5,200 RMB transfer has been accepted.]
Lin Shanshan: "I'm sorry, Su Can, but I don't want to date right now."
"Can you give me some time to think about it?"
"I accepted the money, but please take back your feelings."
.......
Looking at the chat history on the WeChat app.
Su Can fell silent.
Five minutes ago.
When he slowly opened his eyes, he found.
Everything around him was identical to the guys' dorm from his college days.
Without a single difference.
After giving himself a hard slap across the face.
Su Can realized this was no dream.
Only then did he realize that he might have been reborn.
And the very first thing after his rebirth.
Su Can immediately picked up his phone.
The moment he saw the date on the phone displayed as October 9, 2013.
A vague sense of foreboding rose in his mind.
"Damn it!"
"October 9th?"
"Isn't that heartless bitch's birthday on October 8th?!"
"Could it be that I was reborn right after that incident happened?"
Thinking of this.
Su Can immediately opened the WeChat chat.
And the 5,200 RMB transfer record on the chat page.
Was so glaringly painful!
Su Can was completely numb!
Damn it all, heavens.
If you're going to give someone a rebirth, at least pick a decent time!
Why did you have to pick right after this happened?!
Su Can was simply left entirely speechless!
Lin Shanshan was the campus belle from his college days.
And also the first person he had a secret crush on in his life.
Upon learning that Lin Shanshan's birthday was in October.
Su Can had spent his entire summer working in an electronics factory.
Plus his usual part-time jobs.
He had finally managed to save up 5,200 RMB.
Then.
Last night.
He tried to invite Lin Shanshan out on a date for dinner and a movie.
Only to be rejected by Lin Shanshan.
Unable to get over it for a moment.
He was dragged out for barbecue and drinks by a few bad-influence friends from his dorm.
At the drinking table.
Su Can was egged on by a few idiot roommates to confess his feelings to Lin Shanshan.
He was also quite drunk and not entirely in his right mind.
And directly transferred all his savings earned from summer work and part-time jobs to Lin Shanshan.
Along with the message: "I like you!"
And as a result, he received that preposterous reply from Lin Shanshan!
"I accepted the money, but please take back your feelings?"
This incident dealt a massive psychological blow to Su Can!
So much so that from graduating college at twenty-two.
All the way until he was thirty and established in his career.
He maintained the good habit of not touching a single drop of alcohol!
For no other reason!
Whenever Su Can got even slightly drunk, this melodramatic incident would replay in his mind.
He would be so mortified he wished he could crawl into a hole.
And wanted to smash his head against a wall!
........
Furthermore.
The most crucial point was.
This Lin Shanshan was no good bird either!
He only blamed himself for being too naive back then.
Su Can only came to his senses much later.
Back in middle and high school.
He was just an honest kid devoted entirely to his studies.
What did he know about romance between men and women?
After entering college, however.
Lin Shanshan actually took the initiative to ask for his WeChat.
Seeing that she was pretty.
Su Can handed it right over.
And naturally began letting his imagination run wild.
Only later did he find out.
On the very first day of school, Lin Shanshan.
Had asked for the WeChat of virtually every decent-looking guy on campus.
To use modern internet slang.
This was a fishing master casting a wide net to catch fish.
And Su Can was unfortunate enough to become one of the fish in Lin Shanshan's pond.
Working to earn money for her birthday gifts and all that.
That came later.
What made Su Can feel the most ashamed of all was.
After experiencing the 5,200 RMB transfer incident.
He had still foolishly continued to act as Lin Shanshan's loyal simp for over three more years.
Why do they say a first love makes a guy the most innocent?
Every time he thought of this, Su Can wished he could travel back in time.
And slap his past self hard across the face a few times!
Only after graduating from college did Su Can finally understand.
All that bullshit about not wanting to date.
Was purely because she looked down on him for being poor.
Because less than a year after college graduation.
Lin Shanshan got married in a whirlwind.
And the groom was none other than her company boss's son.
A second-generation rich heir worth hundreds of millions!
The moment he received Lin Shanshan's wedding invitation.
Su Can felt as though he had been struck by lightning.
His entire mind went blank.
Looking at the 'groom' on the invitation who was even shorter than Lin Shanshan.
He couldn't help asking on WeChat.
"Is this the standard answer?"
"How is he better than me in any way?"
And Lin Shanshan's reply was equally concise.
"Although he's not as tall as you, nor as attentive."
"The way he drives a Ferrari with one hand is really handsome!"
At that moment.
Su Can finally saw reality clearly.
Lin Shanshan was a thorough, manipulative bitch.
From beginning to end, the only thing she loved was money.
From then on, Su Can closed off his heart and locked away love.
Never daring to trust in romance easily again.
It is safe to say.
The pain this woman inflicted on him.
Was immensely profound.
Yet thanks to Lin Shanshan.
After suffering such a cruel blow in matters of the heart.
Su Can poured himself entirely into his career.
Before turning thirty.
He had already risen to become the general manager of a listed company.
With an annual salary approaching ten million!
However.
Because of working himself to the bone, he had also left lingering root causes for illness in his body.
It seemed that during a drinking banquet.
After going into circulatory shock and sudden death due to excessive alcohol consumption.
He had been reborn right back to this present juncture.
.........
Thinking that he was already someone who had died once anyway.
Su Can simply stopped caring altogether.
And immediately threw off all pretense, sending the message.
"Bitch, return the money!"
He sent this message filled with anger.
Although these 5,200 RMB weren't much.
By the time he was thirty, Su Can didn't know how many 5,200s he had earned!
Yet none of them cut as deep as this 5,200 RMB!
Because this was earned in a factory.
Screw by screw.
With his own blood and sweat!
Allowing such a manipulative bitch to squander it made Su Can feel worse than death!
........
Meanwhile.
Inside the girls' dorm.
Lin Shanshan was playing with her newly purchased Apple 5s phone.
Showed off smugly to her roommates.
"The latest 5s, how is it?"
"Looks good, right?"
"A simp gave it to me when he confessed to me yesterday!"
"Too funny!"
"Just some poor loser, and he wants to date me?"
"Talk about a toad lusting after a swan's meat."
Just as Lin Shanshan was boasting wildly.
A chat message suddenly popped up on her phone.
The contact remark read [Simp No. 43 Su Can, 1.8 meters tall, has abs].
Seeing that the message was from Su Can.
The corners of Lin Shanshan's lips curled up.
She smiled and said: "The simp is back looking for me again, let's see what he wants."
However.
When Lin Shanshan opened WeChat to check the message.
Her complexion instantly turned pitch black.
