Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat

Jiang Yan had been reborn. In his previous life, he was duped by his own father—who ended up in prison—into taking on the responsibilities of the family. He had to care for his grandparents in place of his father, show respect to his uncles, maintain brotherly love... In this life, he only wanted to breat free from these bloodsuckers, find a sugar "daddy", and by the way, nourish his stomach. ***** Song Jiawen felt something was weird. That guy from next door—who had to return to the countryside to study because his father was imprisoned—suddenly switched from literature to science and joined her class, and even moved to the seat behind her. Ostensibly, he did it so she could tutor him in physics and biology, but why did she always feel like he had an ulterior motive? ***** Years later, as Jiang Yan watched the soup simmering in the pot while soothing his son in his arms, he glanced back at his wife, who was leisurely watching TV on the sofa with her legs crossed, and thought miserably, this meal ticket he had married into was proving to be quite a struggle!

Chapter 426: Underestimating Human Nature

Dai Lei had called Gao Jie after finishing the barbecue and returning to the dormitory; by then, it was already ten o'clock at night.

"Hello, may I ask who is calling?"

Gao Jie's voice was soft and pleasant, as always. Back in high school, because of her voice, she had been recommended by the homeroom teacher to be the school's broadcaster. Prose, poetry, and other texts that seemed dry and dull were brought to life through her reading.

During the long class breaks, as he rested on the railing at the classroom door, he often found himself unconsciously reciting along with her voice.

It hadn't been many years since those days, yet the memories now seemed like a world away. The girl who would laugh with dimples in her cheeks as soon as she spoke was on the other end of the phone, making Dai Lei feel uncertain for no apparent reason.

He had intended to just make a call to explain, but now he didn't know what to say.

"Hello?" Gao Jie asked again, not hearing a response.
