Chapter 1 Rebirth on the line of death
In the dark room, Wang Ming woke up sweating all over. Before he could realize what was going on, a biting pain came from his head. The pain came from the soul and could not be described in any vocabulary. Even the cruelest punishment in the world was not even one in ten thousand!
Wang Ming whined in pain, grabbed his hair with both hands and bit his lips tightly. He soon could not bear the pain. He howled and rolled from the bed to the floor, struggling, rolling, hitting the wall, and instantly lost other feelings in his body, with only one word: pain!
This pain makes people have no concept of time, space, or even thoughts. It is unknown how long it has been, maybe a minute, an hour, a day, or even a century, when Wang Ming lies on the floor with his body curled up.
A blood light seemed to flash in the dark night. Wang Ming's eyes slowly opened, and the capillaries in his eyeballs had broken. The first thing that caught his eye was a blood-red world.
Wang Ming struggled to sit up from the floor, moved his body, leaned against the wall, and looked at the ceiling with blurred eyes. A mixed smell was rejected in his mouth, with sadness! Gratitude! Bitter! Sweet! More sad!
In the dark night, Wang Ming took out a box of unsmoked cigarettes at the head of the bed, trembling with his hands, lit one, took a suck, and spit out a long smoke, as if all the loneliness and pain were floating in the air with the smoke and gradually dissipated.
He wanted to calm himself down, and the impact of a large amount of incredible information on his brain made him marry into his dreams and couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality.
The first scene after waking up, he hugged Yang Yang's begging for mercy, and amid the desperate shouts, he hugged him tightly and jumped from the place where Guan Ying fell. He swallowed his last breath when he watched Yang Yang's brain burst! How could he not die? Is everything a dream?
No, it is impossible. Twenty years of life trajectory is imprinted in his memory. Everything is so real, it is impossible to be a dream.
If those memories are not dreams?
Wang Ming suddenly realized something, got up from the ground as fast as possible, turned on the switch, and the extremely familiar room appeared in front of him. This was the house left to him by his parents, and he was sold after graduating from college!
An incredible thought poured into Wang Ming's mind. Did God hear his wish and give himself a chance to be reborn?
Wait!!! Which year is today? Which day is it?
Wang Ming frantically searched for tools that could determine the time, and finally saw the date that he would never forget on the familiar phone in the living room. 2000.3.08, 19:30.
March 8th, today is March 8th, the nightmares-filled day twenty years ago in my memory. After this day, Wang Ming's life was without sunshine, without love, and only endless darkness.
"Seven-thirty! Haha, seven-thirty!" The tears in the eyes could no longer help but rush out. Wang Ming laughed wildly and murmured: "It's still time, it's still time!"
Wang Ming wiped his tears and gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Yang, wait for me, I'll go find you now. Guan Ying is waiting for me, wait for me, I will definitely save you!"
Wang Ming rushed out of the door and stopped a taxi at the entrance of the community. He took a seat in without waiting for the driver to speak. He looked at the driver tightly and said, "How long will it take to get from here to Linji University!"
The driver saw that Wang Ming's eyes were bloody and there was still a smell of alcohol on his body. He hesitated for a moment and said, "If there is no traffic jam, it will look like fifty minutes to an hour!"
Wang Ming took out five hundred yuan and put it on the dashboard of the taxi, "The money is all yours when you arrive at Linji University in half an hour!"
The driver's eyes lit up. It's 2000 now. If one night shift earns only two or three hundred, five hundred is not equal to the income of one night shift. He packed the money as quickly as possible, "Sit down!"
The driver suddenly started the car and ran to Linji University as fast as possible, fighting for 200 yuan. Even if he was fined by the traffic police, he would only have 200 yuan and still 300 yuan left.
"It's time, it's time!" Wang Ming told himself over and over again that for Wang Ming, this is the speed of life and death, and it's the time for him to race against the god of death! He only knew that Guan Ying was killed tonight, and he could not be sure of the specific time, so he could only return to school as quickly as possible.
The cold wind blew, and the memories of the last twenty-four hours of the previous life emerged from Wang Ming's mind like a rush. It was the day of class reunion, and the shocking changes that night made him reborn.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Ming walked into the Haoyue Hotel calmly, walked through the luxurious hall, took the elevator to the banquet hall, and sat down in an unnoticed corner. He was like an invisible man, watching everything coldly, with no joy or sorrow in his eyes, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Today is the day of the class reunion, and as usual, the focus is Yang Yang, the current mayor of Chunchang City.
Yang Yang, a top student in the Chinese Department of Linji University, is synonymous with tall, rich and handsome. His grades are always the first in the class from elementary school to high school. It was not until he met Wang Ming in college that this record was broken. The two people's fight began from the beginning of school. The class leader, propaganda minister, and student union president, each fight between the two ended with Wang Ming winning.
And that accident was the node where the fate of the two people changed.
After the accident, Wang Ming fell into pain and regret and could not extricate himself, and his halo gradually faded away. Yang Yang was not affected and continued to move forward, as if he was supported by noble people, step by step. Twenty years later, he has become the parent official of the eight million ordinary people in Chunchang City, the capital of Linji Province.
Only in the corner was a woman emitting mature beauty looking at Wang Ming in surprise, as if she couldn't believe that this was the boy who was so popular on campus back then.
Wang Ming's hair that had been born early, the unconcealed pain in her eyes made her pity, heartache, and regret all kinds of complex emotions arose from her heart: "How come he is so old?"
Is it because of the past? Did he not let it go? Has he been spending more than twenty years of regret? The red wine in the glass was poured into his throat again and again, and Tian Nina's eyes became more and more confused. After other classmates exchanged greetings, caring or pretending to care, Tian Nina felt an impulse in her heart and walked to Wang Ming with firm steps.
After seeing the visitor, the pain in Wang Ming's eyes slowly faded away and he smiled: "Nina, long time no see! Are you okay?"
Tian Nina felt even more heartache. Are she afraid that others would suffer from him? She leaned forward, stretched her head, and pressed her side face. The heat exhaled from her red lips squirted into Wang Ming's ears like a rush, and she whispered: "Come with me!"
Wang Ming frowned slightly. Is it just like people often say that the class reunion is the lover reunion? She wants to happen to her? Then she was wrong. She could reject her twenty years ago, but she would also reject her today.
"Guan Ying's death was not an accident, she did not commit suicide!"
When Tian Nina's figure disappeared, Wang Ming had not yet woken up from the shock. Didn't Guan Ying commit suicide? Guan Ying did not commit suicide!
Wang Ming suspected this matter more than once and secretly investigated it!
However, the emergence of the suicide note, the police's investigation of the scene, the testimony of the students, and all signs indicate that Guan Ying committed suicide. For twenty years, Wang Ming has been living in regret. If the two of them had no misunderstanding that day, they would not have been careless and would not have chosen to die. This idea will always bite Wang Ming's heart! This is also the root of Wang Ming's pain!
