Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

In 2014, there was only a little over a month left before the college entrance examination.

Meng Chuan, a senior high school student, did not choose to study intensively.

Instead, he faked illness and took leave to go out and buy milk tea for his girlfriend.

Unfortunately, Meng Chuan was involved in a car accident on his way home and suffered a severe brain injury, remaining in a coma for a full month.

However, what no one knew was that during this month...

Meng Chuan had a very, very long dream.

In his dream, he failed his college entrance exam, and his girlfriend broke up with him.

He spent all of his family's savings to attend an ordinary private junior college.

I finally made it to my junior college graduation in 2019.

However, it experienced the most sensational mask incident in the world in history.

The blow of losing his job right after graduation left him depressed.

He then returned to the countryside to live off his parents.

I went on a blind date arranged by my mother.

They emptied the wallets of several generations of their family to renovate the rural house as their wedding home.

However, during the wedding, the bride refused to get out of the car because of a dispute over the "change of address" fee.

In a fit of anger, Meng Chuan canceled the wedding.

A farcical wedding made both families the laughingstock of the surrounding area.

The bride's family members come to her house every day to cause trouble.

They said Meng Chuan had tainted the bride's innocence.

They demanded that Meng Chuan pay them 30 yuan in compensation.

The impoverished Meng family had no money left to pay compensation.

The bride's family members then came to her house and splashed paint and excrement on it.

In these unsettling days, my mother, whose health was already poor, fell seriously ill.

He passed away not long after.

My father became increasingly taciturn, started drinking heavily, and eventually passed away from illness.

A perfectly happy family of three was turned into a family torn apart and its members killed.

……

"Son, you're awake? Are you feeling unwell?"

When Zhang Mei saw her son Meng Chuan open his eyes, she was immediately excited.

Meng Chuan turned his head with a somewhat confused look in his eyes.

Looking at the familiar yet haggard face before her, tears welled up like a burst dam.

"Mom, you're still alive? Waaah, Mom, your son misses you so much, waaah..."

Meng Chuan could no longer bear it, jumped off the hospital bed, hugged Zhang Mei, and burst into tears.

Meng Chuan had always been deeply troubled by his mother's death.

His mother worried herself sick over him from a young age, and eventually died because of him.

Seeing his mother alive again, Meng Chuan's guilt and grievances turned into tears.

"Son, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother. I'm perfectly fine. It's you who almost..."

Zhang Mei couldn't hold back her tears either.

One reason is that my son woke up.

One concern was whether there was something wrong with their son's mind, as he kept talking nonsense.

"It's good that you're awake. I'll go call the doctor."

A voice, slightly choked with emotion, rang out.

Meng Chuan then realized that his father was also by his bedside.

Meng Chuan looked at his father, but the father he remembered, who had become weathered and had cloudy eyes ten years later due to the hardships of life, was gone.

Although my father's temples were now gray, he was still in good spirits.

Her eyes revealed her deep love and expectations for him.

Only at this moment did Meng Chuan become certain.

Those nightmarish ten years were truly just a fleeting dream.

Although the dream was so real, so real that if Meng Chuan tried hard to recall it, he could even remember everything that happened every day during those ten years.

"No matter what, I will never let the tragedy of those ten years repeat itself in my life."

Meng Chuan secretly made up his mind.

The doctor came in quickly to examine Meng Chuan and informed him that he was out of danger.

You'll need to stay in the hospital for observation for two more days. If everything is fine, you can be discharged.

This finally put Zhang Mei and Meng Jianguo at ease.

"Dad, Mom, the college entrance exam is in a week, I want to be discharged from the hospital."

Knowing that he had been in a coma for a month, Meng Chuan became anxious.

The tragedy of those ten years in my dream all started with failing the college entrance exam.

Meng Chuan must make changes.

"Son, you've just woken up and still need to rest. The college entrance exam is important, but a few more days won't make a difference."

The mother comforted him with heartache.

Meng Chuan looked at his mother and slowly said:

“Mom, I know you’re worried about me, but I really can’t waste any more time. This month in a coma has made me think about a lot of things. There are some things I have to do, and I don’t want to have any regrets.”

His eyes shone with an unprecedented determination.

Meng Jianguo looked at his son, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"Okay, Dad will go and get you discharged."

As always, Dad Meng Jianguo was concise and to the point.

Although the mother, Zhang Mei, still had concerns.

But under the insistence of her husband and son, she could only nod in agreement.

After being discharged from the hospital, Meng Chuan went home and stayed for one night.

I went back to school early the next morning.

"Xiao Chuan, you're finally back alive."

As soon as he entered the classroom, a fat boy excitedly rushed towards Meng Chuan.

The fat guy's name is Li Dong, and he is Meng Chuan's deskmate.

He was also the only classmate Meng Chuan got along with relatively well.

"Judging from your tone, you wish I were dead sooner!"

Meng Chuan pushed the fat man away with disgust.

He doesn't have a penchant for being hugged by a man.

"How could that be! You have no idea how much I've been looking forward to your return. In the month you were gone, I was at the bottom of every mock test. Waaah, do you know how I've been doing this past month?"

Li Dongru lost his parents.

The only reason Meng Chuan and Li Dong got along so well was because their academic achievements were the sole bond that maintained their brotherly relationship.

Li Dong's family is wealthy, and through their connections, they managed to get him into a top-tier high school like No. 1 High School.

Meng Chuan came from a poor family, but he got into the university based on his own hard work and ability.

But after his senior year of high school, Meng Chuan stumbled into the embrace of love.

From then on, his grades plummeted.

In the end, he ended up sitting next to Li Dong.

In several mock exams, Liu Dong even managed to slightly outperform Meng Chuan by a narrow margin.

Therefore, Li Dong never cared about how many points he scored on tests.

As long as I can slightly beat Meng Chuan, and not come in last place, that's fine.

This was also his father's only requirement for him.

During the month that Meng Chuan was on sick leave, he unsurprisingly came in last place every time.

He's been suffering from being second to last for so long!

"Then you're going to be disappointed. This time I've made a triumphant return, and I'm afraid you'll still be in last place from now on."

Meng Chuan smiled and said to Li Dong.

"Hey! You lay around for a month and still managed to become a king? I studied for a month longer than you, and I have a mock exam tomorrow. If I lose to you this time, I'll treat you to a hamburger."

Li Dong was full of confidence.

After joking around with Li Dong for a while, Meng Chuan returned to his seat and began reading.

Upon opening his textbook, Meng Chuan quickly discovered something utterly unbelievable.

That means I seem to have developed special abilities.

I was able to memorize and fully understand many of the knowledge points in the book after just one glance.

It's just like the legendary photographic memory.

This discovery greatly surprised and delighted Meng Chuan.

Most importantly, in his dream, Meng Chuan had already experienced the college entrance examination once.

Meng Chuan still vividly remembers all the questions from the college entrance examination.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I can rely on my memory of the college entrance exam questions and my photographic memory.

This year's college entrance exam is a sure thing.

And at this very moment, while engrossed in "devouring" the knowledge in the textbook.

Li Dong suddenly nudged Meng Chuan with his shoulder, gesturing for Meng Chuan to look towards the door.

Meng Chuan looked up and saw Wang Ling and Zhao Kuan, the class's sports committee member, walking into the classroom.

Wang Ling is Meng Chuan's girlfriend.

After entering his senior year of high school, Meng Chuan's grades plummeted.

It's inextricably linked to her, my white moonlight.

In fact, if it weren't for buying her milk tea, Meng Chuan wouldn't have had the car accident.

"Old Meng, you need to be prepared. In the month you were gone, Wang Ling and Zhao Kuan have practically made their relationship official."
