Rebirth, Starting from 2005

Chapter 1: Rescue Big Brother

On June 28, 2005, it was sunny.

After lunch early, Yan Xin took the fishing rod he made to the small river outside the village to fish.

On a summer afternoon, the temperature was very high. Although he sat under the shade of a big poplar tree by the river, he felt quite hot and depressed. He thought:

"Why isn't that guy here yet?"

"It's so hot, doesn't he know it's hard to wait for someone?"

It looks like he is fishing, but in fact he is waiting for someone.

Wait for a short-lived person.

Yan Xin is a reborn person. He returned to 2005 from the future more than ten years later, and returned to the summer when he was eighteen years old.

If the world still runs according to the track he remembers, then, in the afternoon of this day, there will be a teenager who failed the college entrance examination and committed suicide by jumping into the river here.

He wants to prevent this from happening.

That young man was named Feng Chen, and he was a classmate from elementary school to junior high school, but the friendship between the two of them was very average, they could only be regarded as acquaintances, not very good friends.

But this Feng Chen has a younger sister named Feng Xi.

In Yan Xin's memory about the future, it was a woman who had been entangled with him for several years. She was his wife and later became his ex-wife.

It was an unpleasant memory.

It's not that Feng Xi is bad, Yan Xin thinks it's not easy for this woman. After getting married, she took care of his bedridden father for a few years, and took care of his father until the end of his life. He has always felt guilty about this woman.

It was precisely because of this sense of guilt that he waited here on this hot day, waiting for the appearance of that short-lived ghost that he should have called uncle in his previous life.

I was sure that I had been reborn. Back in 2005, Yan Xin was quite happy at that time, thinking that with the memory of the next ten years, he would live a better life than his previous life no matter what.

There is also a chance to make up for something that I feel regretful when I think about it.

Originally thinking of going out to work right away, but suddenly remembering that Feng Xi's brother Feng Chen committed suicide by jumping into the river on June 28th, he changed his mind and saved this short-lived ghost first.

Not bad for those few days.

The marriage life with Feng Xi in the previous life was not happy, and in this life he doesn't want to have anything to do with Feng Xi, especially the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

But he still hopes that this woman who has been his wife for several years can live a happier life.

Rescue Feng Chen, Feng Xi will not need to bear the burden of providing for his parents in this life alone.

Even if she bears half of it with her brother alone, she will be under much less pressure and will not have to live so hard.

He heard from Feng Xi that Feng Chen committed suicide by jumping into the river on this day.

The exact time is unknown.

All I know is that we still had dinner together at noon, and looked very depressed. When I went to his room in the afternoon, I saw no one but a suicide note.

Then I asked many people to look for him, and only found his pair of slippers under a big poplar tree by the river, knowing that he jumped into the river here.

It was only in the evening that he was picked up, but by that time it was hopeless.

And Yan Xin is sitting under that big poplar tree now, and there are no slippers under the tree, which means Feng Chen hasn't jumped into the river yet.

In order to avoid being late, Yan Xin finished his lunch at half past eleven today, and it was not twelve o'clock when he came here.

He didn't know the exact time when Feng Chen jumped into the river, so he could only wait like this.

It's really uncomfortable to stay here on a hot day, even if he knows that he is saving a life and the happiness of a family, he still feels uncomfortable.

I don't know how long I waited before I heard footsteps coming this way.

He poked his head out from behind the tree and saw a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old walking towards the big poplar tree like a walking corpse.

Their eyes met, and the two of them stood there in a daze.

Yan Xin looked at this face, compared it with Feng Chen in his memory, and finally matched.

This is Feng Chen, his classmate from elementary school to junior high school.

Yan Xin did not do well in the high school entrance examination, and he was in No. 2 Middle School, while Feng Chen was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, so the two did not go to high school together.

Feng Chen recognized Yan Xin and asked, "Yan Xin, what are you doing here?"

He was also very depressed.

He made up his mind to commit suicide by jumping into the river, but there was a man by the river.

He remembered that this guy named Yan Xin could swim.

Moreover, there were people on the other side of the river embankment, and with a loud voice, it was not a problem to call a dozen people for help.

Jumping at this time, there is a high probability that you will die.

That would not be like committing suicide, but performing suicide.

Yan Xin raised the thin bamboo pole in his hand and said, "I'm fishing here, what about you? What are you here for?"

Feng Chen said gloomily, "Don't do anything, you're in a bad mood, come here and sit for a while."

"What's wrong?" Yan Xin asked knowingly.

Feng Chen squatted down, put his head in his hands, and sighed:

"If you fail the college entrance examination, you will not be able to go to university."

Yan Xin didn't take it seriously: "If you can't go to university, you can't go to university. What a big deal? I didn't pass the exam either."

Feng Chen glanced at him and thought to himself: "Can I compare with you? You are a student of No. 2 Middle School, and I am a student of No. 1 Middle School."

The quality of teaching in No. 2 Middle School and No. 1 Middle School is too different. Yan Xin felt a little shame that a mere student from No. 2 Middle School dared to be compared with his outstanding students from No. 1 Middle School.

But the fact is that both of them did not pass the exam.

It made him feel even more humiliated.

Still couldn't help but argue, saying: "Originally, I shouldn't have this score. I could get more than 500 points in several simulations, but the pressure was too great during the college entrance examination, and I couldn't sleep for several nights. In the end, I passed There is a buzzing in the examination room..."

As he spoke, he began to cry:

"Originally, I could have been admitted to university... That's not my real strength..."

This is what makes him feel aggrieved the most.

If it's just that you didn't do well in the exam, you won't be so overwhelmed.

Hearing what he said, Yan Xin felt some sympathy, and said, "Then study for another year, and take the exam next year, and try to get into a good university."

Feng Chen was even more sad: "My dad said...my dad said that I failed the exam because I was stupid, and I would still fail the exam after another year. He wouldn't let me repeat the exam...he also looked down on me..."

Yan Xin can understand this.

They are all from the countryside, and the conditions of the Feng family are not very good. They have to support the brothers and sisters Feng Chen and Feng Xi to study, and their family has already owed some debts.

Feng Chen can be admitted to the university, he has a bright future as a mortgage, and he can also borrow money to support his studies.

Now that I failed in the exam, it is not so easy to borrow money if I come to repeat the exam.

Even if his father supports him to repeat his studies, he will not be able to make so much money.

It is useless to say that he is stupid, and that it is useless to repeat the study. He is just looking for a reason not to repeat the study to cover up his incompetence.

But Yan Xin can understand, that's because he has lived more than ten years, knows the hardships of life, and knows that a penny can really suffocate a hero.

Feng Chen was just a child who grew up under the protection of his parents. He didn't know anything about the hardships of life. He was in a bad mood when he failed the college entrance examination, but he couldn't think about it when he was denied by his father.

Looking at the boy squatting on the ground crying, Yan Xin sighed in his heart: "It's still too good to be protected..."

He said, "Then what are you going to do next?"

"I don't know what to do... I feel that life is meaningless..." Feng Chen answered sullenly with his head buried.

Yan Xin smiled: "You don't want to commit suicide, do you?"

Feng Chen didn't answer.

Yan Xin smiled again, and said, "You come to the river, don't you want to jump into the river?"

Feng Chen heard the sarcasm, and looked up at him:

"Are you looking down on me?"

"Uh, a little bit." Yan Xin replied honestly.

"Why do you look down on me?" Feng Chen was unhappy.

"It's just because you want to commit suicide," Yan Xin said. "You are such a grown-up, and you would seek death after a little setback. If you fail your own exams, you will commit suicide if you don't let you repeat the exam. It's strange that people can think of it."

Feng Chen said: "Even if I want to commit suicide, that's my own business..."

"Bullshit about yourself! You're sending your whole family to hell!"

Maybe it was because of the thought of the past life, Yan Xin was a little excited, pointed at him and said:

"You only know that you have to repeat your studies and go to university. Have you ever thought about where the money for your studies will come from? To satisfy your desire to repeat your studies, how many people will your parents have to bow down to? Moreover, do you think that you will be able to borrow money by being humble? "

"You only know that you want to realize your dream, but you don't think about your family's ability to bear it. Even if your entire family is sacrificed, it may not be realized. You are a typical selfish and inhumane person! "

"Your parents have raised you so much and paid for your education. They owe you a lot of debt. You are quite free and easy. You pat your buttocks and jump into the river without any troubles. Have you ever thought about your parents?" ? What would they think?"

"It's been so hard to raise you up so that you can commit suicide?"

"How are they going to bear the pain of losing their son?"

"At that time, your mother will accuse your father of driving you to death for not agreeing to your repetition, and your father will live in regret for the rest of his life."

"You want to say that they deserve what they deserve, well, I won't argue with you."

"But what about your sister?"

"Your parents only have one son and one daughter. Without your son, the responsibility of taking care of the elderly falls on your younger sister. You are free and easy now, but your younger sister will be killed by you for the rest of her life!"

"When she gets married in the future, another family will suffer."

"A man who doesn't take any responsibility when something happens, just wants to avoid responsibility, just wants to throw the burden on others, and wants people to think highly of you?"

"Pooh!"

The more Yan Xin talked, the more excited he became, which completely confused Feng Chen.

I didn't expect to be despised by a scumbag.

And this scumbag still despises him by telling him the truth of life.

What made him feel even more humiliating was that he suddenly felt that what this scumbag said was so damn right.

It's a bit too irresponsible to just die like this.

He stared blankly at Yan Xin, trying to find out the point of rebuttal, but he couldn't find it.

After a while, he said: "Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense, but that is also my family's business, why are you so excited?"

This really caught Yan Xin's question - I can't say that I'm just another family affected by your sister, can I?

I was stunned for a moment, and said: "Is this the point? Why am I excited? Is this the point you need to care about? Isn't the point that you shouldn't commit suicide? You can't grasp the point, no wonder you did so poorly in the exam!"

"You are right, but, but I have already written a suicide note..."

Feng Chen covered his face with his hands,

"You said that the atmosphere has been exaggerated to this point. If I don't jump, will I be laughed at? Will people say that I pretended to commit suicide to force my dad to let me repeat?"

"Forehead……"

Yan Xin, who lived for more than thirty years in his previous life, didn't think it was a big deal, but he also knew that it was normal for a teenager to worry about it.

So he said: "Then you go back early and tear up the so-called suicide note before they find it, won't you be fine?"

"Oh."

Feng Chen nodded, stood up and prepared to go home.

Suddenly, I heard his mother's crying voice from the side of the embankment:

"Chenchen!"

"Chenchen, where are you?"

"You mustn't be overwhelmed!"

Feng Chen looked at Yan Xin anxiously:

"It's too late, they have already seen my suicide note..."

Yan Xin had some surprises - he came here so quickly, why did this uncle die in his previous life?

Looking at the anxious Feng Chen, he tentatively said:

"How about you jump off?"
