Rebirth of the Protagonist

Halfway through the wine, I finally got to the point.

As the wine flowed, Song Yuqing finally broached the subject. With a hint of hope and pleading in her voice, she said, "Young Master Lin, I asked you out for an important matter. I hope I can get your help."

"What's the matter? Tell me, and I'll help if I can," Lin Beifan replied, putting down his utensils and listening intently.

"Well, it's like this..." Song Yuqing began explaining the financial challenges facing her hospital.

"I see," Lin Beifan nodded. "Let me handle it."

With that, he deftly picked up his phone and sent a message. After a moment, he looked up and said, "I've spoken to the head of our marketing department, and they've agreed. Just bring your documents to our office tomorrow and follow the procedures."

"Is that it?" Song Yuqing looked surprised.

"Of course, it's not a big deal," Lin Beifan replied casually.

"Aren't there... any other conditions?" Song Yuqing asked, incredulous.

Lin Beifan chuckled. "What more could I ask for? Everyone faces financial constraints at times. You help me, and I help you. That's how business works, right? I believe that under your management, Song Hospital will thrive. And when you do, don't forget about our family business."

"Absolutely! Here's to Young Master Lin!" Song Yuqing raised her glass of wine cheerfully.

Lin Beifan raised his glass in return. "Cheers!"

With the important matter settled, Song Yuqing relaxed. She gently swirled her wine glass and looked at Lin Beifan with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, I've realized that you're not like the rumors say."

"Oh? And what do the rumors say I'm like?" Lin Beifan asked.

"According to the rumors, you're depicted as a wealthy second-generation who's ignorant, spends all day idly, and relies solely on your parents' money! But now, you seem completely different! You make me feel like a refined gentleman, a knowledgeable scholar, and a carefree sage who sees through everything..."

Song Yuqing shook her head. "You seem so enigmatic to me! Can you tell me which version is the real you?"

Lin Beifan smiled. "They're all me."

Song Yuqing was surprised. "All you?"

"Yes, it's all me! I am the ignorant and idle rich second-generation, the refined gentleman, the knowledgeable scholar, and the sage who sees everything! Whenever I need to, whenever I'm happy, I can be anyone! As for what others think, I don't care! Because I don't live for them!"

Song Yuqing's heart stirred. She couldn't explain why, but seeing the man before her, she felt a strange sense of admiration.

With a hint of bashfulness, she said, "Young Master Lin, don't call me Miss Song, it sounds too formal! Just call me Yuqing, or even Sister Song! After all, I'm older than you! Hehe."

"In that case, don't call me Young Master Lin, just call me by my name, or you can call me Xiaofan!"

"Okay! Let's exchange WeChat accounts for easier communication in the future!"

"I'll add you right away!"

And so, their relationship transitioned from strangers to friends with the exchange of contact information.

They continued to chat and laugh over dinner, but Lin Beifan kept glancing at the restaurant door.

Where's the male protagonist, Xiao Chen? Why hasn't he arrived yet?

Meanwhile, a handsome man wearing sunglasses and a hat lurked in the distance, his eyes filled with fury.

"You two lovebirds are at it again! Especially you, Song Yuqing, you shameless woman! Despite being engaged to me, you're cozying up with him! You have no regard for the proprieties of women! Well, this time, I'll teach you a lesson!"

This man was none other than Xiao Chen, the male protagonist and descendant of a renowned doctor, also Song Yuqing's fiancé.

Yes, he too had been reborn.

Returning to the beginning of the story, when he descended from the mountains with his medical skills to seek refuge with his fiancée.

Although he hadn't seen her since childhood, the moment Xiao Chen laid eyes on Song Yuqing, he considered her his own. Following her discreetly, he observed her laughing and conversing intimately with another man, sparking jealousy within him.

Driven by jealousy, he attempted to assert his dominance, believing his lineage as a descendant of Ghost Valley would secure his victory. However, he was consistently outmatched by his rival in every duel, leading to humiliating defeats.

Confused and frustrated, he couldn't comprehend how an ignorant rich second-generation like Lin Beifan could be so formidable. Thankfully, fate granted him a chance at rebirth—a protagonist's privilege.

Determined to rewrite his destiny, Xiao Chen vowed vengeance against Lin Beifan. He swore to bankrupt him, reduce him to begging on the streets, and reclaim Song Yuqing as his own.

With grim determination, he faced the pair opposite him. This was a crucial moment in his story. Their burgeoning relationship threatened his plans, and he resolved to intervene, seizing the opportunity fate had presented him.

As Xiao Chen staggered closer, pretending to be inebriated, Lin Beifan's attention was drawn to the commotion. He cast a surprised glance at Xiao Chen, noting the unexpected state of the usually composed protagonist.

Despite his curiosity about Xiao Chen's condition, Lin Beifan's anticipation for the impending test of his wish outweighed any concerns. Excitement coursed through him as he contemplated the potential outcomes.

Eager to see the effects of his wish unfold, Lin Beifan addressed the system with anticipation, ready to command its power once more.

"System, I make a wish..."
