When he woke up, Chen Kai felt a splitting headache. He secretly swore that he would never drink so much again.The global economic situation has not been optimistic recently. As the overseas department of an investment bank, Chen Kai and his colleagues are under tremendous pressure.
After finally completing a big order, he naturally needed to relax. Alcohol and beautiful women were indispensable. So after a night of revelry, Chen Kai woke up again and looked at the girl next to him who had just woken up and subconsciously covered her body with a quilt...
"ah..."
Chen Kai couldn't help but cover his ears at the girl's loud scream.
"Why am I here?"
The girl spoke English with a pure British accent.
However, at this moment, he was not in the mood to answer the girl's question, but tried his best to recall...
After he got hungover, a strange girl appeared beside him. Chen Kai was not surprised by this. After all, in their industry, they were under a lot of pressure and had a lot of fun. They did this kind of thing with their friends a lot. However...
Why is it that today it's a foreign girl, and she's speaking English? It's not that he can't understand, but it's a little... weird.
He clearly remembered that he met a pair of sisters at the bar last night, and brought them to the hotel after drinking. Could it be that one of his friends played a special game with him when he was drunk?
Although he really couldn't remember the reason, he still had to face it under the current situation.
Fortunately, this foreign girl with flaxen hair, a few freckles on her face, and a familiar look, seemed to have calmed down a little. She reached out to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground, muttered something, and then after getting dressed in the quilt, she picked up the bag on the bedside table and walked into the bathroom.
Listening to the faint sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Chen Kai knew that the other party should be taking a shower...
From the light shining through the gaps in the curtains, he could tell that it should be daybreak now.
Subconsciously reaching out, I picked up the phone on the bedside table...
Huh?
Looking at the rather "nostalgic" Motorola flip phone in his hand, Chen Kai suddenly felt at a loss...
In addition, he finally remembered that the layout of the room he was in seemed to be slightly different from the room he stayed in at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel last night...
What's going on?
At this moment, he suddenly felt as if an electric current went straight through his brain, and a series of scenes like a movie flashed before his eyes...
It seemed as if his brain was like a trash can, with too many things forced into it, and even the top of his head was about to be lifted up...
Then, Chen Kai's eyes went dark, and he fell on the bed again...
…
"Are you OK?"
When he regained consciousness, Chen Kai opened his eyes and saw the girl's slightly nervous face.
That face still looks so familiar.
"I... should be fine now. Maybe I was a little tired last night..."
Hearing Chen Kai's words, the girl seemed to have thought of something, her face slightly reddened, and she glared at him:
"Asshole, I shouldn't have cared about you, I'm leaving..."
At this time, the girl was already dressed. She was wearing a purple sweater and a plaid skirt, with black cotton socks and long boots underneath the skirt.
As she spoke, she picked up her windbreaker from the sofa beside her and put it on, then grabbed her shoulder bag and turned to walk towards the door.
When her figure was about to disappear around the corner of the porch, she suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked at Chen Kai deeply, and said:
"Last night... it was just a mistake. I was in a bad mood and went to the bar to drink too much. You know, I hope we can forget about that..."
Until the sound of the door closing was heard, Chen Kai was still lying there. His head didn't hurt as much as it did at the beginning, but apart from the feeling of hangover, the most troublesome thing was his current situation.
Chen Kai... Well, he shouldn't be called Chen Kai anymore, his current name is Barron Cavendish!
Yes, now he has the memory of two people in his mind, one is Chen Kai, and the other is from this young man named Barron Cavendish.
After getting up, he walked to the bathroom. In the mirror on the sink, he saw the handsome blond white face that belonged to his current body - Barron Cavendish.
This reality is hard to accept, isn't it?
Who would have thought that Chen Kai, who was originally in 2023, would go directly to 2002, 20 years ago, and become a native British man after a night of indulgence...
Chen Kai...now Barron, he felt that he needed to sort out his thoughts and slowly accept this incredible reality.
After washing his face, he looked at the slightly childish face in the mirror again. He couldn't help scratching his hair...F**K, what kind of bullshit plot is this!
...
The phone was a Motorola flip phone that was quite popular at the time, but it was turned off. It must have automatically turned off after running out of power last night...
Fortunately, he remembered that there was a charger in his bag, so he took it out, charged his phone, and finally turned it on successfully.
At the same time, he also saw the time displayed - May 20, 2002, and now it was eight o'clock in the morning...
Walking to the window and pulling open the curtains, Chen Kai looked at the slightly gloomy scenery outside through the glass in the room and began to recall Barron's memories.
Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?
These are probably the first things he needs to figure out.
It was not until he was brought back to reality by the sound of midi music and looked in the direction of the sound that he realized that the sound was the incoming call tone of his Motorola mobile phone.
After all, Chen Kai had almost forgotten the ringtone of this "old-fashioned" feature phone.
Sean the butler?
Looking at the name displayed on the phone for the incoming call, he had associated the corresponding image from Barron's memory.
In fact, the original owner of Chen Kai's current body, Barron Cavendish, is a true Englishman, and he also comes from a noble family.
Well, his family is not an ordinary noble family, but one of only twenty or so families with dukedoms in the whole of England - the Cavendish family!
In 1605, the ancestor of the Cavendish family was named Baron Cavendish, and later Earl Devonshire in 1618. Then, more than three hundred years ago, the great-grandson of the first Earl Devonshire was named Duke Devonshire. Over the past three hundred years, the Cavendish family has produced several generations of politicians and scientists. It can be said that it is one of the oldest dukedoms in England, and ranks in the top ten in terms of seniority among all dukedoms in England!
In such a family, before going to college, Barron received the most traditional British aristocratic education. Before high school, he lived in his family's Darcy Manor in Derbyshire.
Butler Sean has served their family for more than forty years and has watched Barron grow up since he was a child.
