Rebirth and the Beautiful Soaring

Yu Fei was very familiar with Yu Hong's residence at the Academy of Fine Arts; it was quite a beautiful place.

As a master of traditional Chinese painting, Yu Hong enjoyed the highest level of housing benefits, with his own independent courtyard.

Whether it's the plane trees there or the city flower of Wulin, they are all cherished memories for Yu Fei.

The city flower of Wulin is the osmanthus. Every year in the golden autumn of August, the sweet fragrance of osmanthus fills the air, and the aroma is truly refreshing and wonderful.

It's just a little regrettable that we can't experience the fragrant aroma of the osmanthus tree until it blooms, which is still ten days to half a month away.

As Yu Fei approached the gate of the courtyard, a woman in her fifties came out and called out to him, "Feifei, come in quickly, Auntie has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Aunt Pan, I'm so sorry I'm late."

Since his grandmother passed away, Yu Fei's grandfather hired Aunt Pan, a nanny from his hometown of Yuhang, to take care of his daily life.

Yu Fei remembers that Aunt Pan was an excellent cook and a kind and gentle person. Even after Grandma Loulan married Grandpa, she was still the one who took care of the family's life.

Therefore, in fact, Aunt Pan was like family to Yu Fei.

As Yu Fei chatted casually with Aunt Pan, he felt an extraordinary sense of warmth. He wanted to cherish everyone who had been kind to him in his past life.

This is not simply gratitude, but the profound truth of life that he has come to understand as a reborn person.

Just like the song "Fireworks" says, we always want to have something again after we lose it, and we always want to look back after we part ways.

Some truths are very simple, but how many people can truly understand them?

After chatting with Aunt Pan, Yu Fei remembered that his aunt had said he would call her every day to report, so he thought for a moment and then dialed the number.

The person who answered the phone was her aunt. Fang Yi's voice said, "Hello, who is this?"

Hearing his aunt's familiar and pleasant voice, a wave of longing washed over him, and Yu Fei chuckled softly, "Auntie, Fei Fei misses you."

"You brat, you think you'll miss your auntie when you go to the glamorous world of martial arts? I don't believe you!"

"Auntie, there's really nothing fun about Wulin. It's just a bit bigger than Linxian, with more people, taller buildings, and a West Lake. But we also have Fairy Peak in our hometown. I still prefer Linxian."

"Now that you say that, I believe you. Actually, when you're not around, I feel empty inside and just don't feel right."

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll be back to be with you soon."

"Well, at least you have a conscience, your aunt didn't spoil you for nothing. By the way, although you're going to Wulin City for fun, you can't neglect your studies when you have free time. And you should also take out your ukulele and play it when you have time."

"I promise I'll play the ukulele every day. As for my studies, Auntie, don't you trust me?"

"Your aunt is just worried that you're getting too wild!"

The two chatted casually, and by the time they hung up, half an hour had passed.

Yu Fei recalled his aunt's coquettish words and felt a little amused. How come he never noticed in his past life that his aunt could be so funny now!

With a happy mood, Yu Fei couldn't help but think of Zhou Meihua.

They say that a day apart feels like three autumns, and Yu Fei really wanted to call her, but he knew it wasn't appropriate, so he had to give up the idea.

The luncheon was quite high-profile, and Yu Fei, as Yu Hong's grandson, got to know a renowned figure in the calligraphy and painting world again.

It's a pity that Yu Fei chose the path of music; otherwise, these master-level figures could have guided him to the pinnacle of the art world.

Yu Fei spent the next two days sightseeing and shopping.

Yu Hong kept his promise and bought him a set of fountain pens of different colors.

Yu Fei thought Zhou Meihua must want one too, so he secretly went back and bought another set.

The closer it got to the start of the school year, the more Yu Fei longed to see Lin Yang.

However, he seemed to have a hard time finding a suitable excuse to get his grandfather to agree to let him go to the capital.

But he was unwilling to play the disappearing act with his grandfather, which was not the attitude a person of his age should have.

However, as the saying goes, there is a will of Heaven in the dark.

Just when he was feeling troubled, a golden opportunity fell into his lap.

My grandfather was actually selected by the higher authorities as one of the calligraphy and painting experts to guide the restoration of the murals in the Forbidden City. He will soon be going to the capital to participate in the discussion of restoration opinions.

Although Yu Fei is a reincarnated person, it is impossible for him to remember everything. Moreover, this happened during his ignorant junior high school years, so it is perfectly normal that he did not have any impression of it.

Overjoyed, Yu Fei begged his grandfather to take him to Beijing for a trip.

Yu Hong already felt guilty for not being able to be with his grandson, so when he heard that his grandson wanted to go to the capital, he agreed.

On the morning of August 27th, Yu Fei and his grandfather boarded a plane from Wulin to Beijing.

On the plane, Yu Fei imagined all sorts of scenarios of meeting Lin Yang, as well as Lin Yang's various reactions after the meeting, and of course, how he should deal with them.

When the plane landed at Beijing Airport, Yu Fei couldn't help but feel a special excitement. He was finally going to see his teacher and sister, with whom he had shared many years of friendship, again.

Upon arriving in Beijing, Yu Fei and his grandfather were received by government staff and checked into the Beijing Hotel.

Grandpa had important business to attend to in the afternoon, so Yu Fei got the chance to be free.

Yu Fei hailed a taxi and eagerly arrived at Huachen University.

Entering this familiar campus, Yu Fei's memories seemed to instantly return to his past life.

During his four years at Huachen University, Yu Fei was constantly busy with studying and starting his own business.

At the tender age of twenty, a chance encounter while buying a computer led him to embark on his entrepreneurial journey for the first time. He opened a personal computer retail company in Zhongguancun and earned his first pot of gold.

Speaking of his first entrepreneurial venture, two people gave him tremendous help: his mentor, Teacher Lin Yang, and his aunt, Fang Yi.

The former offered him advice and devised plans, while the latter provided him with the funds to start his business.

If it weren't for their support in his past life, Yu Fei believed he might not have embarked on the path of entrepreneurship, and might have ended up doing a stable nine-to-five job like most college graduates.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. Being your own boss may seem glamorous, but only those who have actually done it know the hardships involved. Most people only see the glamorous side of them in public.

Following Lin Yang's memory of the girls' dormitory he had lived in during his university years, Yu Fei arrived at the building.

With only a few days left before the start of the semester, some girls who had returned to school early were already walking into their dormitories with their luggage.

The dormitory supervisor saw Yu Fei, stared at him, and asked, "Who are you looking for, young man?"

"Hello, Auntie, I'm looking for Lin Yang from room 520. Could you please call her for me?"

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll call her dorm and see if she's there."

The call was connected quickly, but a different person answered.

After exchanging a few words, the dormitory supervisor hung up the phone and said to Yu Fei, "Young man, Lin Yang, whom you are looking for, has already left the school."

Yu Fei was stunned. How could this be?

According to the memories Lin Yang had told her in her previous life, she spent the entire summer before starting graduate school at the university.
