I was born and listened to my neighbor's older sister talk about her family of origin.

[Ding! Rebirth System Check-in Area.]

(Multiple female leads, no female characters sent as gifts, no female characters sent as gifts, I'm going crazy, I really won't send female characters as gifts!!!! Look at the tags!! Damn, I didn't even know there was such a weird term as "female character sent as gifts" before I wrote this story, who is it that likes to send female leads as gifts?! I'm about to start crawling in a dark and twisted way!! Ughhhhh!!)

(You can criticize the plot, you can criticize the male lead! But you can't criticize the female lead! The female lead belongs to the male lead!!!)

---

Jiang Ye felt like he had been squeezed out.

The surroundings were originally humid and warm, but when the somewhat stale air from outside entered his lungs, he couldn't help but let out a dry howl.

Accompanied by a cacophony of noise that was barely audible.

A crisp, mechanical sound appeared in Jiang Ye's mind.

[Ding! Succubus System Bound!]

Jiang Ye: "..."

In an instant, he understood his situation.

Yes, I was reborn, and I even got a standard system.

It's still the succubus system!

His body and soul seemed to have separated; he could feel his body crying out, but his soul was very quiet and peaceful.

At eighteen, you entered a very ordinary second-tier private university with very average grades. In university, you vowed to study hard and change your life, but all you changed was your weight.

It's not necessary to say that both times were quite ordinary.

At twenty-two, you graduated weighing 200 pounds. Lacking education, good looks, and connections, you could only land a job at a wildly successful startup.

At 22 and a half, unable to bear the 996 work schedule, you quit your job and, clinging to the idea of ​​loving your parents, went to work for a real estate agency, just to coast along.

Very good, as expected of me, I can't take any more of this hardship.

Jiang Ye nodded.

Before he transmigrated, he was working hard at his desk coding, sitting for long periods, working overtime late into the night, and had three layers of belly fat.

Too much puffiness is unacceptable.

So he died suddenly?

At twenty-four, you were doing quite well as a real estate agent, making a good fortune and successfully finding a girlfriend.

[At 25, your girlfriend bought an apartment from you at an insider price, successfully saving on agent fees, and then dumped you.]

[You're heartbroken, and in the middle of the night you're squatting by the roadside, completely drunk, when you run into someone you know.]

[Xu Zhiyu, the girl next door you were with when you were little. After you moved out of that dilapidated old neighborhood when you were sixteen, you never crossed paths again. You never expected that you would meet again in this way.]

You're heartbroken, while she's selling grilled sausages on the street, looking haggard. She's not even thirty, but she looks like she's forty.

You recognized her, wanted to know what was wrong with her, and wanted to help, but she remained silent, refusing to say anything, and even tried to escape.

[At that moment, an out-of-control truck hurtled towards you. To save you, Xu Zhiyu pushed you out of the way and fell into a pool of blood herself.]

[You were devastated. While arranging Xu Zhiyu's funeral, you learned from her neighbors that her father had been beaten to death for owing high-interest loans, and that Xu Zhiyu was responsible for repaying all his debts.]

To pay off her debts, she worked tirelessly every day, even selling one of her kidneys in the process.

You found her residence, and in her tiny bedroom, less than ten square meters in size, you discovered a box.

Inside the box were many things: a candy wrapper, a beautifully shaped heart-shaped stone, a toy frog, and many other familiar yet unfamiliar items.

[These were all gifts you gave her when you were little.]

So, you were the girl next door's unrequited love.

……

White Moonlight?

Jiang Ye felt an indescribable silence welling up inside him.

Xu Zhiyu, he remembered it very clearly.

She was a girl living next door to him, two years older than him, and very beautiful, the kind of beauty that would make someone a school beauty.

When he was young, he was arrogant and conceited, lacking self-awareness. He always clung to this pretty older sister, thinking of her about everything, good and bad.

Later, because of her cold reaction, she gradually understood what was going on, and the two drifted apart.

Unexpectedly, that aloof and distant girl next door actually regarded me as her ideal woman.

Jiang Ye truly didn't believe it.

[The host's incompetent and mediocre life has been reviewed. A task is now being issued.]

Jiang Ye: This system really has a sharp tongue.

Xu Zhiyu's personality stems from her family background. She is aloof and taciturn, yet she deeply craves love and dependence. However, her low self-esteem and sensitivity often prevent her from expressing her emotions.

[Task: Listen to Xu Zhiyu's family background, help her open up and release her pent-up emotions.]

[Comment: Crying it out will make you feel much better.]

[Task Reward: Appearance +10.]

Add 10 points to appearance?

Jiang Ye's spirits lifted slightly.

If he completes the mission, wouldn't he become a handsome man?

A line of text appeared on the light blue panel in front of me.

[Out of 100, the host's highest score in their previous life was 45.]

[Evaluation: An average-looking guy with unremarkable features and a slightly greasy appearance. Even if you give him +10 points, it would only make him less greasy.]

Jiang Ye: "..."

He was so angry he wanted to yell, but instead a mouthful of cold air was forced into his mouth.

He suddenly opened his eyes, surrounded by rapidly receding trees, and in front of him was a face with an enlarged chin.

Looking at it from below, it's truly hard to look at.

Hao Mei lowered her head and saw that Jiang Ye had opened his eyes, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Oh, son, you're awake? Are you hungry?"

Jiang Ye blinked.

Some hazy memories began to replay in his mind while he was in the hospital.

He understood that after several days, he had finally successfully logged into this body.

Congratulations to player Jiang Ye for regaining his initial account. Now, start your new life!

Jiang Ye smacked his lips, raised his head slightly, and looked at his mother.

Tsk.

I never imagined that my mom was so pretty when she was young. She looks so much younger than I remember, like a college student.

Indeed, recalling it, it seems that Hao Mei was only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old when she gave birth to him.

Seeing his mouth opening and closing, Hao Mei immediately wrapped the small cotton quilt around Jiang Ye and reached out to pat the back of the man wearing a studded jacket.

"Jiang Cheng! Your son is hungry, drive faster!"

Jiang Cheng's voice carried on the wind.

"Honey! This 'Ghost Fire' car is already at its fastest speed; it can't exceed 60 km/h in the city!"

Jiang Ye was stunned.

He looked up and saw Jiang Cheng's fluffy blond hair.

Looking back, I noticed that although my mother, Hao Mei, had black hair on top, the ends of her hair were pink.

This layered effect is likely due to pregnancy, which has prevented her from dyeing her hair for an extended period.

Good heavens, he had no idea that his parents used to be a group of energetic young men and women.

The will-o'-the-wisp raced along.

Jiang Ye returned to the home he remembered.

A dilapidated old neighborhood with a somewhat gloomy environment.

Jiang Ye lived in this place for sixteen years.

Opening the door, the house, though less than 80 square meters with two bedrooms and a living room, was decorated very warmly by Hao Mei and Jiang Cheng.

The warm-colored sofa, the wooden floor, the blooming flowers and plants on the balcony, and the sunlight streaming in from outside all give this home a golden glow.

A sense of nostalgia arose in Jiang Ye's heart.

Hao Mei held Jiang Ye and sat on the sofa.

"Home is the best. I was exhausted after being in the hospital for so long."

Jiang Cheng chuckled and stepped forward to massage Hao Mei's shoulders and back: "Wife, you're amazing! You gave birth to such a big, healthy son!"

Hao Mei rolled her eyes at him and pushed his face away with one hand.

"Get lost! You reek of smoke!"

Hao Mei lowered her head and spoke to Jiang Ye in a low voice.

"Baby, it's time to eat!"

As she spoke, she lifted her clothes.

Jiang Ye: "..."

He knew that after his rebirth, the most difficult hurdle had arrived.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth.

Hao Mei's heart melted as she watched Jiang Ye eat obediently.

Her baby is so cute.

Although his eyes are a bit small, his nose is a bit flat, and his lips are a bit thick.

But she's still very cute.

They'll gradually grow out eventually.

Jiang Chengcai scratched his head as he watched this scene.

"Honey, why do I feel like this little guy seemed a bit reluctant while nursing just now?"

Hao Mei didn't turn her head.

"I think you've gone mad from riding your will-o'-the-wisp. Go cook!"

"Okay."

……

In just three months, Jiang Ye grew from a wrinkled, thin child into a chubby young man.

If you don't look closely, it is indeed quite cute.

Jiang Ye spends every day eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping; his brain is almost degenerating into that of an infant.

Fortunately, he finally got to see Xu Zhiyu and her family arrive.

At the dinner table, Jiang Ye was being held by Hao Mei, listening to Jiang Chengcai say mysteriously to Hao Mei:

"Honey, didn't a new family move in next door yesterday?"

Hao Mei pulled her pink hair back. "What? What did you hear your client say this time?"

The so-called customers are actually the customers of the barbershop.

Jiang Cheng opened a barbershop at the entrance of the residential area. His superb hairdressing skills were well-known in the surrounding streets, and the young men in the neighborhood often came to him for trendy haircuts.

Therefore, his barbershop naturally became the neighborhood's information hub.

In his previous life, Jiang Chengcai also started his business with a barbershop. Although he didn't make it very big, he opened several branches in Jiangcheng, and the business was quite good.

So when Jiang Ye was sixteen, his family moved to a better neighborhood and left that old, run-down place.

This is also why Jiang Ye resigned decisively in his previous life.

Because his parents gave him confidence.

If I can't make it in the outside world, I can always go home and inherit the barbershop.

Jiang Cheng was somewhat excited.

"I heard that family's surname is Xu!"

"You know the Xu family, right? The one from the Huike Group!"

Hao Mei swallowed a piece of pork rib: "The one that went bankrupt a while ago? I know, it was on the news!"

She realized what was happening and gasped in surprise, "Holy crap, could it be the place next door?!"

"That's them!"

"Wow, a very important person has arrived!"

Jiang Cheng nodded: "I think we should go and say hello. They used to be a powerful family in Jiangcheng. Even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. It's always good to maintain good relations."

Hao Mei: "Oh, Jiang Cheng, I didn't know you had such a brain!"

"No way, it's all thanks to your excellent training, my wife."

As they talked, the two unconsciously became affectionate.

Jiang Ye sucked on the pacifier in his mouth as if it were a normal occurrence.

This couple is truly as loving as ever.

But was Xu Zhiyu's family actually a wealthy family before? I've never heard her mention it.

His parents wouldn't deliberately tell him about it...

No wonder I always felt that the other person was out of place with those around them; there seemed to be a natural air of nobility about them.
