The rains started to fall on Rongcheng as night fell, adding a chill to the already cold air. In the midst of the ancient city's skyscrapers, there was a bustling noise... yet the lights were dim and distant.

In Tang Wu’s living room in Chun Tian Shang Jing, which is located on the same ring line as “Rongcheng Ji Gu” where Su Can resides. Under the bright flowered porcelain chandelier, Mr. Tang is going through newspapers with his name mentioned prominently.

Mu Hui raised her lips lightly. At home, she rarely displayed such a gentle smile, "What genius Are geniuses so common in this world You're being too deliberate about it. Who are you trying to impress"

Mr. Tang awkwardly chuckled and glanced at Tang Wu's bedroom. The door was open, and the house was quiet; as long as they didn't whisper, they could hear each other clearly.

Mu Hui continued, "This is typical of only reporting good news and not bad. Whatever he has done well in America or at school is being highlighted. This can only mean that this child is excellent and diligent at school; he’s far from being a genius though." Although she said so, her tone was rather gentle.

Mr. Tang then said, "In my opinion, our daughter resembles you in temperament, personality, and thoughts..." As he spoke, he leaned closer to Mu Hui's ear and whispered in a drawn-out tone, “I’ve observed this child while I was in Shanghai; she’s steady and reliable with an air of leadership. She’s somewhat similar to me when I was her age. Otherwise, how could our daughter be so protective over him He’s just like you.

Mu Hui, full of charm, playfully smacked the mischievous Mr. Tang, "You’re not serious."

Mr. Tang rubbed his hands together with a round face tinged red, “To be dignified in public and playful at home requires rare genius; such women are few and far between. This is the secret to a long-lasting marriage; those lacking this dual talent find long-term affection incomprehensible. In that sense, my wife is indeed a genius.”

Mu Hui allowed herself to be embraced by Mr. Tang, murmuring softly, "People aren't like us in the past anymore; there’s no one to compare with now. Back then, we didn’t rely on our parents and struggled up from nothing, but it was a happy time just being together. Were people's views of success as singular back then Fame, wealth, and success were measured by individual value. Now young people are increasingly restless; can today’s values be compared to when I’d queue in the early morning for milk and steamed buns for Xiao Tang Wu What did I want from you back then"

Mr. Tang held Mu Hui's soft hand, gently rubbing it as he laughed softly, “Yes, yes, my precious princess didn’t ask for anything when she married me. You stayed with me in Xia Hai for ten years and gave birth to our beautiful daughter. In the eyes of many young people today, there’s a provincial bureau chief’s daughter at your workplace who is someone special. Her boyfriend, an army division cadre's son, was such a nice guy, could cook, and his family liked him as their future daughter-in-law. After three years of living together, they had some trouble and broke up. She married another man within months; he was lazy but came from a wealthy home. Compared to the cadre’s son, this new husband wasn’t worth much at all. How do you explain what those young people are thinking"

"Because there are now too many bad cases, young people's thoughts have diverged from ours to a point that is hard to bridge. The situation they face is no better than what we experienced back then. Therefore, I am being more cautious. As for Tang Wu and Su Cen, I don't intend to take an all-or-nothing approach towards them. They are both only eighteen years old; at this age, the future is full of uncertainties, so talking about a long-lasting relationship now seems premature.

"Once they graduate from their senior year, their lives will diverge like fish in different rivers. Even if they meet and merge into larger bodies of water, it doesn't guarantee that they'll travel along the same current. There are also distinctions within the same current, such as surface versus deep waters. They will eventually understand that marriage is not the same as romance and cannot be taken lightly. Economic factors, lifestyle differences, cultural and ideological gaps, family background disparities, work location differences—all these elements make their relationship complex and incomparable to what we experienced back then.

"If I were to express my preference for one of them now and encourage their relationship to develop, would that be meaningful Nowadays, people declare eternal love while spending their parents' money without thinking about the future or planning ahead. I am genuinely worried about how these post-80s kids might suddenly experience collective heartbreak.

What exactly happened in 2001

The Shenzhou II spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at Beijing time on January 10, 2001, and successfully entered its designated orbit. This exciting event came as no surprise to Su Cen, who knew that after two more unmanned launches, China would officially become a third space superpower.

Human civilization has two clear milestones: the extent of human exploration in outer space and the depth of development in aerospace technology; and the degree to which microscopic world's matter can be analyzed. Today, it seems civilization is reaching a peak stage that faces numerous issues such as ecological environment, racial problems, resource allocation, and religious beliefs.

Three years after Su Cen's rebirth, George W. Bush became the President of the United States in January 2001, initiating global changes and controversies. This administration was highly criticized for its handling of international affairs.

In his second semester of senior year, this website’s new address has been changed to: please log in to read!

The collision between a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter jet occurred, leading the American reconnaissance aircraft to make an emergency landing on Hainan Island's Lingshui Airport, while the Chinese fighter was damaged with its pilot missing.

Events unfold as Su Cen understands them, but there are some things beyond his control or influence.

All he is is a reborn soul, not a god.

The moment at Rongcheng No. 27 High School, among the schools with lush banyan trees, evergreen shrubs, and ginkgoes, the sign reading "Days Until College Entrance Exam" changes daily.

Lü Xianming's fruitless visit to No. 27 High School led to a cooldown period after an initial surge of enthusiasm among students from No. 4 High School who frequently visited No. 27 High School during the previous period. Overall, these were just reactions of restlessness when the senior year arrived.

In this era where only one-tenth of households in the city had computers, people started with simple forums or chat rooms for white-collar workers and gradually transitioned from some of the earliest graphical online games like 'Million Kings', 'Battle Royale', 'Lianzhong World', and 'Web Romance' to games such as 'Stone Age', 'Legend', 'Magic Baby', and 'Jin Yong's Heroes' in the year 2001.

The students began merely commuting between their dorms or classrooms every day, awaiting the arrival of Black July with a fear that had gripped countless high school graduates across China for several years.

In a small shop selling cross-bridge rice noodles outside No. 27 High School, Wang Weiwei, Lin Ge Ran, Su Can, Tang Wu, Zhang Xian, and Zhang Feifei were in complete control.

Zhang Feifei lifted her head from a bowl of spicy beef coarse rice noodles, her mouth reddened and swollen by the heat of the chili peppers. She was already quite attractive to begin with.

"I've decided to take the arts and sports track for college entrance exams. You're joking! In our school, advancing even one rank in cultural scores is like asking me to risk my life. The people ahead of me aren't pushovers; they all have their merits. This school's success rate in placing students into key universities is terrifyingly high, how could I compete with them based on academic performance Starting from the first semester of senior year, I've basically been spending time in an art studio. You don't know this yet: nearly one-third of our class are arts and sports students across the entire school. Anyway, I plan to apply for Rongcheng University's Fine Arts Institute. How could I possibly compare with Tang Wu She gets chosen by schools themselves, whereas she has to pick her own path—she can even skip college entrance exams if she wants. But I have no choice but to take this route."

Zhang Feifei said with a pout. Although there were many ways for her family to help her attend prestigious schools, she still needed some merit of her own. If she scored only two hundred points in cultural subjects and was abysmal in arts scores, it would make her family's influence less effective.

Zhang Feifei’s words sparked a lot of contemplation among the others. Although they could spend much time together during junior high and senior high school, they couldn't help but think about their separation, a heavy issue for them all to face.

"If you're going to Rongcheng University, that's perfect! I'm also planning to apply there too! We might even end up in the same class," Zhuang Zhiyu said with a smile. His family was based in Rongcheng; although his parents hoped he would study further away for more experience, they were also happy to see him go if it meant getting rid of their headache. But ultimately, Zhuang Zhiyu was just a wealthy young man without deep societal experiences or grand ambitions; being accepted into Rongcheng University was already an incredible achievement for many ordinary high school students.

Su Can secretly cursed this as unfair. Before his rebirth, he had been admitted to a third-rate university, while Rongcheng University, which most students at No. 27 High School considered their second choice, seemed like a pinnacle of academic achievement for him back then.

However, compared to Zhang Feifei and Zhu Zhiyu, those ordinary students would see a gap of 20-30 points as an insurmountable chasm. They could compensate for this gap in many ways.

The unfair distribution of resources is the fundamental cause of societal instability. The Prime Minister's words proved to be prophetic.

"I've been looking at your face for five years now. If anyone wants to continue doing so, don't bother me." Zhang Feifei gave a huge blow to Zhu Zhiyu and continued. "A major gathering is coming up soon. I might have to fly to Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province, where there's a professor teaching at the China Academy of Art. It's said that this year’s art and calligraphy exam questions were set by one of his students. I may need to study for about a month or so. Anyway, things are pretty busy these days, don't worry about me." She looked towards Wang Weiwei as she spoke, her eyes carrying a hint of melancholy.

Everyone quickly responded, "We won’t worry about you. It’s like rain is going to fall and mother has to get married, so if you need to go, just leave. We’ll be waiting for your masterpieces in the future."

Zhang Feifei heard the flattery in their words and said, "Don't act all big and tough. When I become a famous painter with several major galleries under my name worth millions, don’t come crawling to me asking for support. By the way, who among us will have a more promising future Who will become nationally renowned"

Zhang Xian glanced at everyone present, including Wang Weiwei, Lin Zhouwu, Lin Luoran, Zhu Zhiyu, Zhang Feifei, Wei Chao and others, including Su Cun. He suddenly displayed a mature yet mocking smile. "Famous nationwide How do you see the potential in us to achieve that Haven’t we been called the lost generation of the 80s Reflecting on it now, we haven't achieved anything substantial. For years, we've been content with Chinese education and living without any ambition. Now as graduation approaches, after four years at university, let’s go out and continue causing trouble to society."

No one spoke; these people were not easily moved by dreams like those of first-year students. They knew the gap between them and their dreams was too vast. Famous nationwide Nonsense. In ten years, who would remember who they are in a country as large as this. Even if they reach the heights that their parents have achieved, it will only be within a small circle.

Everyone deeply buried these words, which were supposed to inspire them and make their hearts swell with excitement, during their turbulent eighteen-year-old days.

Famous nationwide How far your dreams are, how far you should roll away from them.
