Chapter 2: Chapter 1 Rebirth: The Turning Point of Fate_2
It was precisely because of this that he scored less than five hundred on his college entrance examination, barely making the second-tier university cut-off line.
"That car accident, it wasn't a simple accident!" Thinking of the car accident that killed his parents, Su Chen's eyes turned frosty. With memories of his past life, he knew that the accident was man-made, nothing accidental about it.
"Heh... although I sought revenge in my past life and even succeeded, the price I paid was ultimately too great. This life won't be the same!" Su Chen vowed silently in his heart.
In fact, there was another secret: the parents who died in the car accident were not his biological parents.
But!!! To him, they were even more caring than his own flesh and blood; in the depths of Su Chen's heart, they were his mom and dad.
"That girl, Lanxin..." Su Chen couldn't help but look towards Lin Lanxin.
Why did he have an intersection with Lin Lanxin? It was because after the college entrance exams, he had prepared to forgo university to find a job to support himself. Thus, he applied to a company, and it just so happened that the chairman of the company was Lin Lanxin's father.
That day, he met Lin Lanxin, who had also finished her exams and was visiting her father at the company.
At the time, Su Chen did not know Lin Lanxin's identity and thought she was also job hunting like him.
More coincidentally, they took the same elevator, and when it reached the twelfth floor, the power suddenly cut out, trapping them both inside. Furthermore, the elevator started creaking and swaying somewhat, the whole situation frightening to a degree.
Lin Lanxin was scared and began to cry softly. Originally, Su Chen was not in the mood to console her, despite how exceptionally beautiful she was, but then, seeing Lin Lanxin cry more and more fiercely, he eventually couldn't help but start comforting and encouraging her.
Two shichen later, they were rescued by firefighters.
Lin Lanxin asked for his phone number.
Su Chen gave it to her, but deep down, he didn't care, thinking they would never see each other again.
Afterward, he failed to get the job. To be precise, he applied to more than a dozen companies and was rejected by all. Therefore, he locked himself in his rental room for three straight days, neither eating nor drinking, even considering suicide!!!
However, he never imagined that on the third day, someone would knock on his rental room's door.
The visitor turned out to be Lin Lanxin.
"Su Chen, so this is where you live! I've been looking for you for so long!" Su Chen would never forget Lin Lanxin's smile at that moment, like a bright star in the ink-black night sky, warm and lustrous.
After that, during the summer vacation after the college entrance exam, Lin Lanxin would come to his rental room every ten days or so to help him clean up his place.
Moreover, as the summer vacation was coming to an end, Lin Lanxin brought him a piece of news. She had found someone to inquire on his behalf, and Chengfeng University was willing to recruit him without any tuition fees for four years, even offering to cover his meal expenses.
Su Chen wanted to decline, but in the end, he agreed, merely attracted by the promise of free meals.
After enrolling at Chengfeng University, it was quite a coincidence that Lin Lanxin was in the same class as him. Her care and concern for him grew, even going so far as to persuade him to live with her in an off-campus apartment.
However, Su Chen was not grateful at all because he felt inferior. He couldn't dare to imagine, nor could he believe, that Lin Lanxin would like someone like him!
"This silly girl, she scored six hundred forty-nine points in the entrance exam, enough to attend any top-notch university in the country, yet she lied to me, saying she scored only five hundred three, just so she could go to Chengfeng University with me!"
"This silly girl, when my score was barely enough to get into Chengfeng University, where would any scholarships come from? Free meals? All those scholarships and meal expenses were paid for by her, out of her own pocket!"
"This silly girl, she only wanted to take care of me, and that's why she rented a one hundred twenty-square-meter apartment, but insisted on saying she had a bad relationship with her roommates and didn't want to stay in the dormitory. She also wanted me to live with her, claiming she was scared alone and it would be a waste to have so many empty rooms."
"This silly girl, who was clearly a young lady, clearly had no cooking skills, yet for my sake, she secretly learned how to cook."
As past events flashed before him like a movie, Su Chen was in agony, unable to describe his guilt towards Lin Lanxin.
These 'foolish acts' were all done by Lin Lanxin quietly. In his past life, he learned of everything only after her death.
I'm such a jerk, an idiot, immature to the extreme!!!
In my past life, when Lin Lanxin's body appeared before me, that was the moment, like being struck by lightning, I suddenly awoke.
Later on, by a twist of fate, I gradually became the Mysterious Qi Grandmaster and the Master Alchemist. But what does it matter? Lin Lanxin was already dead, the regret of my lifetime could never be made up for. I was tormented every moment, constantly praying to be given another life.
Yet unexpectedly, heaven really gave me a chance.
"If I weren't reborn, today, Lanxin would die," Su Chen murmured to himself, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Since I've been given another life, I will, of course, stop everything!
Involuntarily, he thought of a person—Xu Ming. This man was the reason for Lanxin's death.
In my past life, it took me a whole year to investigate and uncover the truth after Lanxin's death.
This Xu Ming was the son of a chairman of a listed company in Chengfeng City, with wealth and power.
At the birthday party this afternoon, Xu Ming would also be present. Then, at the birthday gathering, he would be captivated by Lanxin's beauty and confess on the spot.
