Going back to being twenty, taking her heartbroken son to a massage parlor.

A voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Ding!

[The "Host's Midlife Disillusionment and Youthful Arrogance System" has been detected and is now officially activated.]

The next second, a semi-transparent blue panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

Name: Su Mu

Age: 38

[Biological age: 52]

[Physical condition: Obese, moderate fatty liver, severely receding hairline, low physical fitness... Overall assessment: On the verge of collapse.]

[Mental state: Severe depression, lack of motivation, loss of desire to mate... Overall assessment: A walking corpse.]

Charm Value: 5 (out of 100)

[Overall assessment: A greasy middle-aged man who, apart from panting, has basically lost all vital signs.]

Su Mu's face twitched violently.

On the verge of being scrapped?

The Walking Dead?

And this damn charm rating, it's only 5 points?

He couldn't help but think to himself, "What a joke! I was a real heartthrob in college, with girls lining up from the south gate to the north gate to chase me. How could my charm score be only 5 out of 10?"

The mechanical voice responded without any emotion.

When you start reminiscing about past glories, it means you've become a hopeless middle-aged person.

"..."

Su Mu grinned, speechless.

What you said makes perfect sense.

This system is the "Youthful Arrogance" system, designed to help the host shed their greasy image, return to their peak, and rediscover the passion and arrogance of their youth.

[Let the host become the man who makes girls blush and their hearts race again.]

Su Mu's heart, which had long since turned to ashes, inexplicably skipped a beat.

"Tell me, what are your functions?"

When the host performs actions consistent with the definition of "youthful recklessness," they will receive rewards. These include, but are not limited to, lifespan, physical condition, skills, and the elimination of diseases. Returning to twenty years old is not a dream.

Go back to being twenty!

These four words made Su Mu's heart race.

Twenty years old!

What the hell is that age?

That was the age when I could stand at attention and salute at the sight of thighs in short skirts!

It's the age where you can play games all night and still be full of energy on the basketball court the next day!

It's also because he hasn't yet had all his edges smoothed out by the 996 work schedule, and hasn't yet been overwhelmed by the daily grind of life!

[Distributing a newbie gift pack to the host...]

[Distributed successfully!]

[Reward: Age -3 years, Constitution +5 (10→15), Eliminates middle-age ailment 'impotence'.]

As soon as he finished speaking, a warm current instantly swept over Su Mu's entire body.

The fatigue and aches that had accompanied him for years were swept away by this warm current.

I felt much lighter.

The fog that had been troubling him for so long dissipated, and his thinking became clearer than ever before.

He looked down at his protruding beer belly, which seemed... to have tightened up a bit?

More importantly, a long-lost vitality is quietly reviving in a certain part of the body.

Su Mu's nose tingled, and he almost burst into tears on the spot.

Saved!

His fatty liver, his chronic gastritis, his cervical spondylosis, his type 2 diabetes, his prostate that was about to break down... his tattered body parts can finally be saved!

He suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and with a "whoosh," pulled open the heavy curtains.

The dazzling sunlight shone on his face, warm and comforting.

He squinted, looking at the bustling traffic outside the window, and clenched his fists.

He needs to take it one step at a time...

Step by step, I'm back to being twenty!

He wants to personally find that spirited version of himself again!

.......

At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Su Mu and Jiang Yiyao each held a red marriage certificate and walked out side by side.

Divorce certificate.

Jiang Yiyao looked at the notebook she had been longing for in her hand, but instead of the expected elation, she felt empty and inexplicably flustered.

She glanced at Su Mu subconsciously, but was slightly taken aback.

What happened?

I haven't seen him for only two days, and he... looks younger?

The few glaring white hairs that were originally mixed in with black hair have disappeared, the skin on my face is firmer, and even the lingering greasy and tired feeling has vanished without a trace.

Jiang Yiyao felt a pang of discomfort and couldn't help but tease:

Why do I feel like you look a lot younger these past few days?

"Looks like you're not that upset about the divorce. So all that refusing to get a divorce before was just an act?"

Su Mu casually stuffed the divorce certificate into his pocket, his expression indifferent.

"I am sad, after all, we've been together for over ten years."

"But more than anything, it's the feeling of relief from breaking free of shackles."

"The sky is high enough for birds to fly freely, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap freely. Right now, I only feel joy."

He was telling the whole truth.

Faced with the immense temptation of reversing aging and regaining youth, the trivial matter of divorce is utterly insignificant.

All that persistence and reluctance in the past now seems ridiculously foolish.

His only goal now is to rediscover his youthful self.

But these words sounded particularly harsh to Jiang Yiyao.

She felt a tightness in her chest.

She did initiate the divorce, but this guy seems completely unconcerned; that's just too much!

She forced down her displeasure and managed a smile.

"Honey... how about we go out for a farewell dinner, so we can part ways amicably?"

Su Mu turned to look at her, his eyes calm.

"Don't call me 'husband' anymore, it sounds awkward."

"As for having a meal, I don't think it's necessary. Let's try to see each other less often in the future."

"you!!"

Su Mu's decisive and straightforward attitude completely broke down Jiang Yiyao's defenses.

Only then did she truly realize that something important in her life had been permanently stripped away.

That feeling was like losing a loved one.

She bit her lip, a hint of barely perceptible grievance in her voice: "Couldn't you... give me another ride?"

Su Mu raised an eyebrow and looked her up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Want a ride?"

"I'm afraid that you... this old lady, won't want to ride in my car."

"What did you say?!"

Jiang Yiyao's cheeks flushed red with anger.

Su Mu ignored her and walked straight to the roadside, took out his key from his pocket and pressed it.

"Beep beep!"

Not far away, a large vehicle covered with a heavy car cover flashed its lights twice.

Su Mu walked over and yanked off the car cover.

A BMW S1000RR heavy motorcycle, completely black, appeared before Jiang Yiyao's eyes!

The menacing lines and the exaggerated exhaust left Jiang Yiyao completely dumbfounded.

This...this is Su Mu's car?

When did this guy, who's so afraid of scraping the chassis when he goes over speed bumps, buy something like this?

Su Mu strutted up on the motorcycle with his long legs, put on his helmet, and turned the key.

"Boom—buzzing!"

The roar of the engine exploded instantly, drawing the attention of passersby.
