*hiss!!*
Lei Feng woke up in the middle of the night thanks to the pain he was suffering from because his mother Zhao Lang lashed him with her father's belt.
He was a thin boy with angular face due to malnutrition over time. His spine was slightly bent.
His small frame was noticeably underdeveloped for his age, with ribs subtly protruding through his thin, pale skin. His face, though youthful, bears signs of distress; his cheeks are sunken, and his eyes, though bright, may appear hollow or glazed.
"Why does it hurt so much? Am I not dead?"
Confused, Lei Feng looks around the dimly lit room with a foul smell filling the whole room. It smelled as if someone never cleaned their room for a decade.
Gaining some clarity in his thoughts, he tried to get up but the pain brought him back to reality.
"What happened here? Why does my back hurt so much? ...Ahh!!"
And then it came, memories resurfaced making Lei Feng realize that he was back to his final year in High School.
Today was the day when his father Gu Feitian lost the 20,000 yuan he left in his bedside drawer.
As soon as the commotion occurred, his bother Gu Tianchen blamed him by using his green tea b!tch skills and what happened next was nothing short of one-sided brutal torture.
Mother Zhao Lang picked up her favorite Leather Belt from her husband's almirah and started hitting Lei Feng while questioning him about 'why' he did that.
Yes, what she asked was 'why' and not 'if' he did that, this can show how one-sided the arrangements in this house were.
While she was hitting him, his Eldest sister and Second sister were standing there looking at him with disgust in their eyes adding some past mistakes to aggravate the whole scenario towards the worse.
His good adopted brother on the other hand displayed his transcendent level Green tea skills and asked his dad Gu Feitian not to punish him severely as it was not a big deal.
Only after Lei Feng started bleeding did Gu Feitian ask her to stop and instructed the Butler Uncle Fu to throw him in his room i.e. Basement utility room, where Lei Feng was at present.
His father added "No meals for him tonight, if I hear someone gave him food he/she doesn't need to stay in this house"
With this everyone dispersed and while he was being carried like a sack of vegetables, he saw a smirk on the face of Gu Tianchen who was returning to his room.
Only later in the night, Aunt Wang who was the only one in the house that cared about him came to his 'room' and applied some medicine did he go to sleep.
This brought us to the present. Lei Feng realized that he was reborn.
...
After sorting out the memories and comparing them with the present he confirmed that he was reborn on the day he confessed to his girlfriend Qin Xiaofei but during the confession, Li Wu along with several of Gu Tianchen's buddies broke into the scene and humiliated him.
Stomping on the flowers he bought they mocked him, "Haha, b!tch you have guts to confess to a girl our brother fancy? If you don't want to die, better roll or I will send you to reunite with your foster mother."
Feeling humiliated, the original body fought back only to get outnumbered and rubbed to the ground.
Then his adopted brother heroically entered driving a Mercedes S class and took Qin Xiaofei away, leaving everyone in awe.
When he came home, he was in no mood to do anything so he came to his room and slept, until later in the evening all this happened.
Neo was floating above his head seeing all this.
Originally Neo planned to contact him right away but he soon realized that an additional stat had appeared on his planned host which showed increasing emotional value.
Turns out higher the emotional value fluctuation higher the dependence of the Host on the System when they bind lowering the consumption of energy when using his powers.
So, Neo decided to wait till his emotions were at their peak before communicating.
"Ahhh!!! Why? Why? Why!!!!? Wasn't the suffering from my original life not enough that I ended up in this situation again?"
"No, not anymore, I won't suffer again. I will change everything. Hahah!!... Ah!!"
"Hiss, it hurts so much. That witch Zhao Lang did not hold back at all. Wait, I will let you see who the real winner is soon"
....1000 words omitted
Seeing the emotional value not increasing any further, Neo started the process of binding.
[Ding! System found a suitable host.]
[Bounding in 60 seconds. 60,59,58....20....3...2...1...Binding Successful.]
[Binding Successful, rebirth operation completed...connecting to the world will...suppressing the rejection of reborn soul...suppression successful.]
[Congratulations kid you have been brought back to the most important period of your life and now this almighty system is at your service]
"Who?!!!! Who is talking? Show up!!"
