Can only I see it?

[Image]

On the very night that ST Yaolai was delisted, Chen Xiao's life also came to an end.

In his final moments, there was only one thought in his mind.

That was, if there were a next life, he would never trust anyone again, especially women.

Before his consciousness dissipated, Chen Xiao felt the entire world shaking.

"Huh? Didn't I die?"

After opening his eyes, Chen Xiao's body tensed up, and his eyes widened in shock.

Because standing before him was a familiar woman.

A woman with whom he had only had a connection during his youthful years.

Her eyes held a hint of resentment as she chided, "You should exercise more when you have nothing to do."

Then, she walked into the bathroom on her own.

Chen Xiao was completely bewildered, "What the hell is this? Hell? Or Heaven?"

...

After a full half hour of calming down, Chen Xiao finally accepted the joy of his rebirth.

He lay comfortably on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and sorted through his chaotic thoughts after rebirth.

Beside him snuggled a docile and gentle woman, her fair, delicate fingers slowly drawing circles on his chest.

"Chen Xiao, shall we go to Moyin Residence next week?"

"I'm busy next week, and it's time for you to go."

The woman chided, "You little heartless thing, are you already backing out on your word?"

Chen Xiao smiled but said nothing, thinking to himself that they were both seasoned foxes, so why was she putting on a show for him?

Just then, the phone rang.

The woman took a look, quickly climbed up, tidied her clothes, carefully checked herself over to ensure everything was in order, sprayed some perfume, and then pressed the answer button.

"Darling, I'll be there right away. Wait for me a little bit, okay? You must buy that bag I've been eyeing for me today~"

As she spoke, she walked out of the room without even looking back.

Chen Xiao didn't care. This woman's name was Sun Ying, and she was a junior at Jinning University, one year ahead of him.

And the person she was contacting was Xing Yanqing, a senior executive at the Qiankun Investment Company in Jinning City.

Thinking of this person, Chen Xiao gritted his teeth in hatred.

Because the reason he ended up on the rooftop in his previous life was all thanks to Xing Yanqing.

Chen Xiao looked at the messy room, and his anger suddenly vanished.

"Heh, heh, heh. I didn't expect that I would be able to collect some interest first!"

"Awesome!"

The grudge of trying to kill him for money and the humiliation of having his wife stolen could not be left at that; he had to pay it back a hundredfold!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao took out his phone, composed a message, and sent it to Sun Ying.

"I'm free next weekend. See you at Moyin Residence."

Soon, Sun Ying replied, "Are you crazy? Don't contact me proactively!"

Two minutes later, she sent another text message.

"I'll send you the room number later."

Chen Xiao smiled, tossed the phone aside, and began to seriously think about his future life.

Living a second life, besides the goal of finding a way to destroy Xing Yanqing, Chen Xiao was actually a bit lost.

He hadn't lived a very successful life in his previous one; after graduation, he worked a routine job, and a few years later, he partnered with classmates to start a small internet company.

Just as it was about to take off, his wife from his previous life swindled him into bankruptcy and left him with massive debts.

Chen Xiao only knew some general directions for the next ten years.

For example, how many times a certain automobile group's stock price would multiply, or that the food delivery industry would rise in the next two years, the sharing economy would boom, and housing prices would skyrocket.

Other fragmented information was very blurry.

But those big businesses had nothing to do with him for the time being, a student who was only in his second year of university with only 1000 yuan in living expenses in his pocket.

1000 yuan wasn't even enough to buy one lot of that automobile group's stock.

In his previous life, he was only forced to trade stocks once, and that one time was his undoing.

He also didn't understand the ups and downs of the stock market.

Therefore, Chen Xiao didn't plan to touch the stock market again; the waters there were too deep, and ordinary people couldn't handle it.

He just wanted to use his foresight to seize some small opportunities around him and save up more money before graduation.

Then buy a house, mortgage it, and buy another house; at the very least, he remembered where the high-value properties would be in Jinning City in the future.

He would strive to have eight or ten high-quality properties in his hands in ten years, become a landlord, live a life of luxury every day, without worrying about food or drink, and just live freely and easily.

To hell with stock trading, internet startups, and marriage.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao leaped off the bed.

Not to mention the promising future, just the fact that he had returned to his youth was exciting enough.

There were so many girls in university; in his previous life, he was too shy and reserved, so he missed out on all of them. This time... I'm coming! Hahaha...

After tidying up a bit, Chen Xiao went to the front desk to check out of the room.

The hotel was not far from the school, so Chen Xiao chose to walk back.

It was a perfect opportunity to take the time to appreciate the world before him, which was both familiar and full of freshness.

Having lived two lives, although the scenery Chen Xiao saw was familiar, the feeling was completely different.

In his previous life, he was an ignorant youth when he was in school; in this life, his young body contained a soul that had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Chen Xiao swaggered along the way, his gaze sweeping unscrupulously over every pair of long legs, not knowing how many eye-rolls he had harvested.

When he returned to the dormitory, only Ji Yuzheng was playing a game.

In the narrow aisle, his beanbag chair took up more than half the space.

As soon as he saw Chen Xiao enter, Ji Yuzheng, holding a lighter in his hand, asked like a dog in heat.

"Brother Xiao, you got a cigarette?"

If it were his previous life, Chen Xiao would definitely have said no, and then held back from smoking himself.

But this life was different; he casually took out his cigarette case, tossed one to Ji Yuzheng, and lit one for himself.

"Xiao Zi, where did you run off to early in the morning?"

Chen Xiao chuckled inwardly; this grandson was still the same old jerk, calling him Brother when he needed something, and Xiao Zi once he was done.

"What else could I be doing? Girls, obviously."

Ji Yuzheng was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Holy shit, that's awesome!"

This made Ji Yuzheng, who had been in a long-distance relationship for over a year, extremely envious; he even felt that the cigarette in his mouth, which usually made him feel like he was floating in heaven, had lost its flavor.

Chen Xiao ignored him further, opened his computer, and began to search for the information he needed from the ocean of news.

"Huh?"

Chen Xiao rubbed his eyes; on the monitor, a message was actually floating.

[May 23rd, Luyuan Wood Industry maximum increase of 6.7%]

No matter how Chen Xiao scrolled, this message remained floating on the monitor.

He looked at the date; today was clearly the 22nd, so how could he be receiving news from the 23rd?

"Little Ji, come look at this news from the 23rd."

Ji Yuzheng finished his cigarette and turned his head, extremely reluctantly.

"Where is there any news from the 23rd? Did you overexert yourself and get kidney deficiency, causing hallucinations?"

Chen Xiao pointed at the exceptionally clear news and asked again, "It's right here. You don't see it?"

"Get lost, stop messing with me. Isn't that just the weather forecast?" Ji Yuzheng said.

Chen Xiao was stunned, wondering if he really was weak.

That wasn't right; it had been forty minutes, so he wasn't weak...

Chen Xiao habitually took out his phone, intending to take a picture to check.

As a result, the moment the screen lit up, before he had opened any software, the phone displayed the same information as the computer.

Holy shit! This message, could it be that it wasn't a hallucination, but rather... only I can see it?
