Chapter 1Reflection at the Lake

John looks at the beautiful sunset on the horizon—watching its light shine on the lake. Alexia sees him & comes running up to him.

"I knew you would be here," said Alexia.

"How did you know?" John replied.

Alexia stops & chuckles for a second.

"Well, you always come here when you are feeling down. That or you try to sleep or drink it away."

Alexia walks up next to him & sits down right next to him on his right. She rests her head on his shoulder.

"It looks beautiful, doesn't it?"

"Yes, Alexia, yes, it does. It is one of the few things that brings me peace in my sad, depressing life," John replied.

"You & this sunset on the lake," Just as John said that Alexia put her arms around him. "I am your best friend & will always be here for you, no matter what!"

"I know, Alexia," John replied.

Alexia looks up at him & smiled, "I have been your friend since we were 10. I am not going to throw our friendship away after so long!" Alexia rested her head back on John's shoulder.

"Also, who else is going to deal with your bullshit better than me? Hell, name a person who is better at dealing with you than me!" Alexia jokingly asked.

John chuckles for a bit, "No one is better at that than you, Dimples."

Alexia immediately replies, "HA! Told you!"

John smiles, "Do you remember why I started calling you 'Dimples'?"

"Because when we were like 5, you thought my dimples were holes in my cheeks. You were a weird child John," Alexia said, chuckling.

John looks at Alexia, "I know I was, but not as weird as you were! Do you remember that weird dress that you got from your grandmother? It made you look like you were from the 1920s."

Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Thirty years old—that was the age people often referred to as the time to stand tall and firm. At this age, some were splendid and dazzling, intoxicated in a world of wealth, while others were desolate and dim, confined to rope beds and clay stoves. Lin Mo belonged to the latter. At thirty, he was still a porter, toiling away to earn a living. His daughter was bullied by a male classmate at school—simply because his family was well-off, the school chose to turn a blind eye. His wife, already pregnant, was secretly working at a supermarket to supplement the household income without his knowledge. As he lay awake looking at his wife by his side and his daughter sleeping soundly in the little bed, Lin Mo felt so aggrieved he shed tears. Despite working hard every day until his back could no longer straighten, he still couldn't change the dire state of their lives. However, it was at this time that the Daily Intelligence System suddenly awoke. [Daily Intelligence has been updated] [1. Neighbor Wang Youcai secretly used his retirement funds to tip 10,000 yuan to a beauty in a live stream under the nickname Black Chicken.] [2. The police will perform a surprise inspection at the Red Romance Foot Bath at 12 o'clock tonight.] [3. Victory Bird will launch a ground assault against Hass in three days.] [4.

Right at the moment he was about to be publicly rejected at graduation party after confessing his feelings with a bouquet of flowers to the school beauty, Yu Sisi, and about to become a joke among his peers for years. "I...I am reborn?" The wheels of a new fate begin to turn. All along, the school beauty Yu Sisi has only been deceiving and playing with him. In his past life, Li Zhiyan himself did not know and became a laughingstock, but now, as a reborn person, he has already seen the true face of this girl. He chuckled coldly, glanced at the mother of Yu Sisi on the side, the 41-year-old Aunt Gu Wanzhou. She was mature, intellectual, elegant, kind, considerate, low-profile. The sex appeal of a mature milf lady was radiating all around. Li Zhiyan decisively picked up the flowers, ignored the school beauty, and boldly confessed his feelings to this attractive mature woman in front of everyone. "Lady Gu, actually, I've had feelings for you for quite a while.” [Male lead, 18; female lead, 40+]
