Who gets reborn with a daughter?

●

Look closely, this man's name is Fang Chusheng.

Half an hour ago, he agreed to spend New Year's Eve at Hangzhou Amusement Park with his senior, the painter Jiang Yiling. He thought it would be a normal date, but he didn't expect to run into his childhood sweetheart, Bai Xiaochu, here.

Inside the Ferris wheel cabin, he calmly looked at the two girls sitting opposite him.

After a conversation, he learned that this was the senior student and his childhood sweetheart's plan, and they wanted him to make a choice.

"Ah Fang, do you want me, or her?"

Bai Xiaochu bit her lip lightly, as if she had used all her strength to ask that question.

Jiang Yiling crossed her arms, her fox-like eyes narrowed, and her gaze swept over Fang Chusheng and Bai Xiaochu.

Fang Chusheng wanted to say "I want both", but he knew there was no way to have it all in this world, so he could only turn his head to look out the cockpit window.

The windowpane reflected the faces of two girls, both waiting for his answer.

Fang Chusheng clenched his fist, feeling a sense of wanting to do something but being unable to.

Neither his senior nor his childhood sweetheart were officially his girlfriends, but he did a lot of things that would make her his girlfriend.

Indeed, his behavior, like his name, lived up to the name "Chu Sheng".

"Why……"

With a soft sigh, Fang Chusheng closed his eyes. We're all adults, why do we have to make choices?

"Xiaoxue, how long are you going to keep running away?"

Jiang Yiling suddenly spoke, her words carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Fang Chusheng is an online novelist who used the pen name "Du Diao Han Jiang Xue" (Fishing Alone in the Snowy River). He and Jiang Yiling also met through online novels.

"Afang..."

Bai Xiaochu clutched the hem of her clothes and secretly glanced at Jiang Yiling.

"Phew!..." Fang Chusheng exhaled, opened his eyes, and whispered to the two women, "If only we could do it all over again..."

"Bang!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a loud bang was heard.

Holy crap!

Fang Chusheng was startled and quickly looked out the window. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was New Year's Eve fireworks in full bloom.

He had just thought that God had taken pity on him and deliberately caused the Ferris wheel to crash.

Happy New Year, Afang.

Bai Xiaochu opened her mouth slightly, but the sound was drowned out by the explosion of fireworks.

Today is the last day of 2024, and there will be a New Year's Eve fireworks show at Hangzhou Amusement Park.

Fireworks blazed outside the Ferris wheel, but a menacing atmosphere pervaded its interior.

Amidst the booming sound of fireworks, the Ferris wheel quickly reached its highest point.

Fang Chusheng clenched his fist, hoping the fireworks show would continue until the Ferris wheel finished.

During the prayer, a firework inexplicably changed direction and hurtled rapidly toward the Ferris wheel.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted as dazzling fireworks burst forth atop the Ferris wheel.

In an instant, the Ferris wheel shook violently and collapsed toward the ground.

"ah!!!"

Screams erupted, leaving everyone inside the Ferris wheel stunned.

"Damn! I was just kidding!"

Fang Chusheng never expected that his "wish" would come true; heaven actually created an accident for him.

"Afang (Xiaoxue)."

Bai Xiaochu and Jiang Yiling were pale.

Without thinking much, Fang Chusheng hugged the two women in his arms.

"Ah Fang, I...I love you..."

"Fang Chusheng, I won't let you off the hook in my next life..."

●

The air was sweltering, and the room was spotless.

Fang Chusheng suddenly opened his eyes; the room's layout was unfamiliar to him.

He quickly realized he was in a hospital. He never expected that riding a Ferris wheel would lead to an accident, but thankfully he was still alive.

"I wonder how they are doing."

He thought of Bai Xiaochu and Jiang Yiling. He had held the two women tightly when the Ferris wheel crashed. Now that he was still alive, the two women must be alright.

Thinking of this, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled down, and he closed his eyes to stop thinking.

"Afang?"

Suddenly, an uneasy female voice rang out.

"Xiaobai, are you alright?"

Fang Chusheng recognized Bai Xiaochu's voice, but something was strange; Bai Xiaochu's voice seemed to have become younger.

He didn't think much of it, assuming it was a problem with his hearing.

"What could possibly happen to me? But you, I told you swimming was too dangerous, but you insisted on going in. Luckily, an old man was passing by, otherwise…"

Bai Xiaochu's voice stopped abruptly; she was already sobbing.

"swim?!"

Fang Chusheng was dumbfounded. He hadn't had an accident while riding a Ferris wheel, so how did it turn into swimming?

Then, he opened his eyes and looked down. The sobbing JK girl next to him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, looking exactly like a high school student.

"You...you're Bai Xiaochu?!"

He rubbed his eyes. The girl in front of him was indeed Bai Xiaochu, but she looked like she did ten years ago.

"Ah Fang, are you... alright?"

Bai Xiaochu began to suspect that Fang Chusheng might still have some lingering doubts.

Fang Chusheng didn't say anything and began to check his body. He was completely unharmed and didn't look like he had fallen from the Ferris wheel at all.

"Ah Fang, don't scare me."

Bai Xiaochu grabbed Fang Chusheng's arm.

"Phew!..." Fang Chusheng took a deep breath. "Xiao Bai, what's the date today?"

"August 21st".

"August...what year?"

"2013, Fang, what exactly happened to you?"

Bai Xiaochu's unease grew increasingly serious.

"2013..."

Fang Chusheng murmured to himself, as long-buried memories began to flood his mind.

In 2013, after graduating from high school, he confessed his feelings to Xie Yuwei, one of the school's most beautiful girls, after a class dinner.

As expected, he was rejected.

Feeling depressed after being rejected, he went swimming in the stream the next day and ended up drowning. Fortunately, his childhood sweetheart, Bai Xiaochu, found an older man who saved his life.

"I really didn't want to be reborn..."

Fang Chusheng opened his mouth slightly, and the image of the Ferris wheel flashed through his mind. He had just made a casual remark at the time, but his wish had come true.

"Rebirth?"

Bai Xiaochu tilted her head in confusion.

"It's nothing," Fang Chusheng said, pulling himself out of his thoughts and rubbing his temples. "Xiaobai, I want to be alone for a while."

Bai Xiaochu wanted to comfort him, but then she remembered Fang Chusheng's failed confession and his eventual departure.

After she left, a slender figure lingered suspiciously at the door of the ward.

Fang Chusheng looked up and saw that Bai Xiaochu had changed into a beige short skirt. He immediately called out, "Xiaobai?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaochu ran away in a panic.

"..."

Fang Chusheng hesitated, but didn't think much of it.

Lying in bed, he intended to use his phone to pass the time, but suddenly realized he didn't have one.

The year 2013 was a significant turning point, as most students switched to smartphones that year.

According to his past life experience, after his failed confession and drowning, his father would rush back from out of town to see him, and would also buy him a laptop and a smartphone.

Why 2013?

He was speechless; things were stuck in limbo for 13 years.

In the gaming sector, Tencent and NetEase are already giants, while NetEase is just starting out, but it will take off in a few years.

E-commerce is developing steadily, while industries such as live streaming, food delivery, and ride-hailing are still in their early stages, but the market has already been divided up, and ordinary people cannot get involved without funds.

Fang Chusheng clearly remembers that during his freshman year, the two food delivery platforms, ChouTuan and QianDu, spared no expense in competing for the market. A meal only cost a few cents and even came with a Coke.

Imagine what it will be like ten years from now: the minimum order fee for food delivery will be 20 or 30 yuan, and the delivery fee will be 7 or 8 yuan, which is comparable to robbery.
