Following the memories in his mind, Long Aotian walked towards his home.
The novel described the story between the male and female leads at great length.
Long Aotian's family situation was barely mentioned.
As Long Aotian had transmigrated, he didn't have the original owner's memories.
He could only recall the relevant plot points from his mind.
In the plot, it seemed to have been mentioned that his parents' divorce was the reason for Long Aotian's prejudiced personality.
But according to the original text's description,
Long Aotian's father, in order to let the uneducated Long Aotian continue his schooling, found connections and spent money to barely get Long Aotian into a vocational university.
From this, it could be roughly seen that Long Aotian's father actually cared a lot about Long Aotian.
And at the end of the story in this novel, the reason Long Aotian failed was:
Firstly, because the plot required it; the villain must fail.
Secondly, because his father, in an attempt to persuade him to change his ways and not continue down the wrong path, got into a car accident on the road, which caused Long Aotian to completely collapse.
While he was thinking, he had already returned to the compound.
It was called a compound, but it was actually an old, rented apartment building.
Opening the door, the smell of smoke and alcohol immediately assailed him.
He walked into the room.
A thunderous snore echoed.
A middle-aged man was lying on the sofa, already asleep, and on the table, there was a plate of unfinished pig ears, a plate of peanuts, and two empty white wine bottles.
This was Long Aotian's father in the book, Long Batian, a butcher who also operated a meat shop in the nearby wet market.
Long Aotian sighed slightly at the sight.
Indeed, in such an environment, it was no wonder that the Long Aotian in the original book had a prejudiced personality.
"Dad, wake up, wake up..." He called out twice but couldn't wake the old man.
Long Aotian could only help the old man up; fortunately, Long Aotian was well-built, so even though it took some effort to help the old man into the room, he managed.
Returning to the living room, he opened the window, and the breeze through the window dispersed much of the unpleasant smell in the room.
Then Long Aotian rolled up his sleeves and started to tidy things up.
After cleaning the living room,
He took a shower in the bathroom before returning to his own bedroom.
He turned on the light, and a hundred-yuan bill was lying on the bed.
He glanced back at the old man's room, a smile playing on Long Aotian's lips, then he closed the door.
Lying on the bed, he held the hundred-yuan bill in his hand, examining it repeatedly.
Since he didn't know how to go back for now, he might as well experience life anew in this world.
While changing Hu Yuying, he also needed to make some changes himself.
In the original novel, there was not only a sweet romance line between the male and female leads but also many entrepreneurial story lines.
Long Aotian could make good use of all of these.
As he thought, Long Aotian also drifted off to sleep.
The next morning.
His phone alarm rang.
Long Aotian turned off his phone, got up and washed, glanced at the old man who was still sleeping soundly, and walked out of the door.
Early morning at the cafeteria entrance.
Li Qian looked at Hu Yuying standing at the cafeteria entrance and asked, "Hu Yuying, what are you standing here for?"
Hearing the voice, Hu Yuying looked up at Li Qian, remembering what Brother Long had told her yesterday.
She straightened her back and said with a smile, "Li Qian, I'm waiting for someone."
Hu Yuying used to always like to hunch her back and lower her head, giving off an indescribable feeling of dullness and gloominess.
Now, standing tall with her back straight and smiling directly at the other person, at least she looked much more comfortable.
She was only eighteen years old; at this age, she should be more cheerful.
"Waiting for someone?" Hu Yuying had only transferred to this school yesterday.
In the class, it seemed that besides herself and two other girls who had spoken to her, she hadn't seen Hu Yuying actively speak to anyone else.
Could it be that...
Remembering the scene from last night's evening self-study where Hu Yuying taught Long Aotian, she looked at her and said in surprise, "You're not waiting for Long Aotian, are you?"
"Oh, Hu Yuying, did you forget what I told you?"
"Long Aotian is moody; if he's in a good mood today, his attitude will be much better, but if he's in a bad mood, he'll chase after even a passing dog and slap it twice."
"You should still keep some distance from Long Aotian."
Li Qian and Long Aotian had been classmates for over two years, so naturally, she understood Long Aotian better than a new transfer student.
Long Aotian's various fights and brawls from before still seemed vivid in her mind.
"No, he's not as bad as you say."
"Actually, he's a really good person."
Remembering how Long Aotian helped her not get bullied yesterday, told her to be his Little Follower and protect her, bought her food, and even guided her and helped her change...
Hu Yuying truly didn't think Long Aotian was that bad.
Although he always said he would hit her, he never actually did.
Seeing Hu Yuying speak up for Long Aotian, Li Qian rolled her eyes at her: "Don't be deceived by his appearance; even though he's tall and handsome, think about why everyone in the class is afraid of him!"
"Why is even Wang Shuo afraid of him? It's our senior year now; don't let him ruin your studies and your future."
"Mhm, I know." Hu Yuying knew Li Qian said these things for her own good, but Hu Yuying trusted her own judgment.
When no one else stood up to help her, it was Brother Long who stood up to help her.
Although everyone was afraid of Brother Long and said he was bad, she really couldn't bring herself to say anything bad about him.
Perhaps Brother Long left a bad impression on them, but she knew what he was like to her.
Li Qian sighed helplessly, "Then I'll go to the cafeteria first."
"Okay." After saying this, Hu Yuying was briefly lost in thought, then added, "See you in class."
Hearing this, Li Qian, who had already walked away, turned back and said with a smile to Hu Yuying, "See you in class."
Seeing Li Qian's smile towards her, Hu Yuying didn't know why, but her mood also brightened.
Even a relaxed smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
"Communicating with people isn't as difficult as you imagine, right?"
Hearing this voice, Hu Yuying turned back in surprise, and when she saw it was indeed Long Aotian, her smile became even more charming: "Brother Long."
As soon as she said this, she immediately realized, had Brother Long been here earlier? Had Long Aotian heard everything she and Li Qian just said?
She secretly glanced at Long Aotian, wanting to see if he was angry.
"What are you thinking about? Is your Brother Long such a petty person?" Seeing Hu Yuying's secretive expression, Long Aotian knew what her simple little mind was thinking.
Besides, Li Qian wasn't wrong.
If he hadn't transmigrated, and according to the development in the original novel, Hu Yuying would probably have been so scared upon seeing him that she would have curled up in a ball and trembled...
