Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

The weather in March is like a child's face; this downpour comes quickly and goes quickly.

Around 3 o'clock, it gradually turned into heavy rain, and then into light rain.

By sunrise, the sudden rain had completely stopped.

Before Lu Yuan fell asleep, he seemed to see a ray of sunlight shining through the window and onto the curtains.

The sun rose as usual, warming the damp, chilly air after the night rain.

The two people inside were still fast asleep, as if they were in their own little world.

Unaware of the weather changes outside, nor how much time has passed in the outside world.

They embraced and nestled together, letting the sun rise and set, and the clouds drift by outside.

The first snow of 2002

It arrived a little later than usual.

Bus No. 2 parked on the eighth floor

It took away the last fallen yellow leaf~

An untimely cell phone ring woke Lu Yuan from his sleep, causing him to groggily open his eyes.

The random ringtone made Lu Yuan momentarily dazed.

I was reborn in 05 and heard Dao Lang's song from 04, which was about the first snow of 02.

Lu Yuan shook his head to try and focus his scattered thoughts, but his body was still not fully awake. He struggled to lift his head and search for the source of the sound.

The sound seemed to be coming from the floor at the foot of the bed, accompanied by a muffled vibration.

I vaguely remember that I didn't take my phone out of my clothes yesterday.

With Zhou Mei's armor-piercing strike, he and his clothes were left on the ground.

Lu Yuan wanted to get up to get his phone and turn off the annoying ringtone.

Just as I was about to get up, I realized that my arm was being held firmly down, and now it feels slightly numb.

Zhou Mei curled up beside Lu Yuan like a kitten, her head resting on Lu Yuan's arm, and one of her jade-like legs draped over Lu Yuan's body.

A faint snoring sound could be heard, completely unaffected by the ringing.

Lu Yuan shook his head indulgently. There was nothing he could do. Regardless of whether it was important or not, the ringtone was really noisy.

It is your boundless tenderness that melts the ice and snow~

Your sweet words changed the season~

"It's quite fitting for the occasion," Lu Yuan thought to himself, but he could only nudge the alluring goddess beside him.

"Don't bother me... I'm really sleepy..."

"Let me sleep for a while."

The atmosphere of a rainy day always makes people sleep very soundly, but Lu Yuan is young and impetuous, and his CD refreshes very quickly.

I was completely exhausted in the bathroom. Logically speaking, after taking a shower, everyone should get some sleep and recharge. Working day and night would take a toll on the body.

However, Zhou Mei, being a newbie, didn't have a good grasp of the refresh time.

Most importantly, Zhou Mei is very strong-willed, a trait she developed from growing up in the chaotic and turbulent world of Yulong.

But lately, choosing scripts and investing in film crews has been very draining.

Zhou Mei didn't want to admit defeat in any way, especially when facing this man who was more than ten years younger than her.

So when Lu Yuan shook her again, Zhou Mei instinctively thought he was going to wake her up.

Zhou Mei was dazed and exhausted, and all she wanted to do was rest.

After all, I hadn't slept for more than a few hours.

Seeing that Zhou Mei showed no signs of waking up, Lu Yuan felt not only happy but also somewhat guilty.

Because of him, she hadn't gotten much rest all night, and Lu Yuan felt very guilty, looking at Zhou Mei with pity.

Lu Yuan didn't want the noisy ringtone to disturb Zhou Mei's rest.

They could only quietly and slowly pull their arm out from under Zhou Mei's head.

"Good brother, I'll do whatever you ask for next time."

Hearing Zhou Mei's dreamlike murmurs, Lu Yuan felt a pang of guilt. Had he been bullying her in her dream?

Lu Yuan finally pulled his arm away and patted the goddess's shapely buttocks...

After removing Zhou Mei's legs from his body, Lu Yuan stood up and covered Zhou Mei with a blanket.

I put on a bathrobe and pulled out my phone, which was still playing music non-stop, from a pile of clothes.

Without time to look closely, and afraid of disturbing Zhou Mei's rest, Lu Yuan pressed the call button and went to the balcony, carefully closing the balcony door.

The Peninsula Hotel had excellent soundproofing, but Lu Yuan was still worried that his voice on the phone might disturb Zhou Mei, so he was very careful.

"Feed? Feed? Huh, why is no one talking after the call is connected?"

"Feed? Is the signal bad?"

Only then did Lu Yuan put the phone to his ear. He hadn't had a chance to look at it before, but when he heard the voice, he realized it was Ah Biao.

"Hey, hey, I heard you, I heard you, what's up?"

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

"Damn, did you just wake up? What time is it?!"

"Huh? What time is it? I didn't check the time." Lu Yuan patted his cheek, trying to make his voice sound less lazy.

"I've been working so hard to help you out there, and you've just been sleeping soundly in your hotel room?!"

"I was just too tired and overworked yesterday!"

The other party suddenly became suspicious.

"You went back to the hotel yesterday, didn't you? Did you do anything bad? You wouldn't actually be with my goddess, would you?!"

"Oh, you're overthinking it. I didn't do anything wrong."

Lu Yuan answered with unusual nervousness. Sure enough, one should not speak carelessly when not fully sober.

Otherwise, it would be easy to expose your secrets.

"So what did you do yesterday?"

"Oh dear, I made plans to play StarCraft with my friends yesterday."

"It's the RTS genre that was popular a few years ago, where everyone develops their own city base and then attacks each other until someone finally surrenders."

"Oh dear, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Ah Biao didn't know what StarCraft was, but he understood that Lu Yuan was talking about the game.

"Damn, look at your age! Still playing video games, and even all night long. From now on, please order a kids' meal when you eat out."

"How come I didn't know you had such a sharp tongue?"

Lu Yuan gazed at the sea and wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

He managed to smooth things over. If he had known that he had slept with his goddess all night, he probably would have been ready to fight him to the death.

"Don't you play video games?"

"I started killing people when I was 16, and I haven't played video games for a long time."

Ah Biao was as fierce as ever.

"That's such a pity, that's a man's romance. By the way, what did you want to see me about?"

"There's been some progress on the matter you asked me to handle yesterday."

Lu Yuan was very surprised. He didn't expect A Biao to be so efficient. He originally thought that this matter would take at least a day or two to resolve.

Unexpectedly, a clue emerged just one night later.

"Wow, Ah Biao, you've really impressed me."

"Alright, you continue to investigate, and I'll try my luck at the place you mentioned this afternoon."

"Don't worry, if we really find it, I'll give you an extra bonus for your trouble."
