Chapter 3: Will Tragedy Repeat Itself?

  "Am I dead? Am I dead?" Nie Zhenbang felt a bit dizzy, he clearly remembered jumping down from the tower, could it be that modern society's advanced medical technology had saved his life?

  Just as Nie Zhenbang was deep in thought, a voice suddenly rang out beside him: "This classmate, there's no need to pretend to be dizzy to avoid punishment. I've seen people pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be poor, and pretending to be fierce, but you're the first time I've seen someone pretend to be pitiful like this. Alright, alright. Since you're a new university student, I'll let you off this time. You just reported for duty, and your courage is quite impressive. Nowadays, students are getting bolder and bolder. If I catch you again next time, there won't be such good things."

  Opening his eyes, Nie Zhenbang stared at the person in front of him, stunned. This... is this Qin Teacher? The security guard who guarded the Bo Ya Tower? How can he be so young? He looks like he's only in his twenties.

  This isn't the scene where I snuck up to the Bo Ya Tower after reporting for school myself back then? Teacher Qin firmly wanted to catch me and take me to the student affairs office. But, I pretended to be dizzy, looked pitiful, and Teacher Qin let me off easy. Immediately afterwards, I walked out of the school, but coincidentally ran into Yang Anna who had gotten into a car accident. In order to save Yang Anna, Nie Zhenbang himself was hit by a car and his left leg was broken, from then on becoming disabled. Although he fortunately found his biological father, this however marked the beginning of his tragic life, until he ended his own life at the Bo Ya Tower twenty-four years later.

  Is this a dream? But why does this dream feel so real. Just as Nie Zhenbang was pondering, beside him, Teacher Qin spoke up: "Classmate, are you okay? Do you want to go to the school infirmary to take a look?"

  Nie Zhenbang hastily stood up, waved his hand: "No more, no more. Teacher Qin, I'm sorry to trouble you, this is an old habit of mine, it will get better on its own, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll leave first."

  Watching Nie Zhenbang leave, Qin teacher was puzzled and muttered: "This kid, is he pretending to know my surname? It's really strange, am I so famous in school?"

  Not far away, Nie Zhenbang stopped again and walked to the lake, looking at his own clear face in the water, a white long-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of blue trousers. His hair was parted on one side, which was very popular nowadays. Nie Zhenbang was shocked again. Could it be that he had been reborn?

  As he thought of this, Nie Zhenbang's heart was filled with a surge of wild joy. Could it be that heaven had taken pity on him and given him another chance to make up for the regrets of his past life? But as an illegitimate child, his brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, even his father and stepmother all looked down on him and disliked him. This was already a difficult hurdle to overcome. Could he overcome it this lifetime?

  Twenty years of humiliation had already tempered Nie Zhenbang's mind to be extremely strong. It took him almost half an hour to come back to his senses. Whether it was rebirth or a dream, whether it was Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuangzi, in short, he was now back in this era. At this time, the Nie family was still a renowned top-notch aristocratic family, one of the few existing in the capital city. Since heaven had given him this opportunity, no matter what lay ahead, whether it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, Nie Zhenbang would not be at peace if he did not take the challenge. Moreover, there were still the kindnesses of Nie Ziyu and Ye Shuyan, as well as those people who had given him painful memories. Not taking revenge was not in line with Nie Zhenbang's character.

  Just thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang immediately got up. If the rebirth was true, then, next. Just an hour later, at the school gate, a car accident would occur. A speeding van would crash into a little girl who was going home from school, and he himself would become disabled in the accident.

  Back in the dormitory, looking at his roommates. Nie Zhenbang was stunned again, and the 1.7-meter-tall Li Zhenghong from Chuxiong Prefecture in southern Yunnan Province would become the vice mayor of Nanhai City, Guangdong Province, 20 years later. He was then investigated by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for serious disciplinary violations and eventually imprisoned. Nie had no connection with him, but only remembered this person when he saw the news later on.

  "Zhenbang, where have you been? Everyone in the dormitory is here, let's have dinner together tonight?" Li Zhenghong said with a smile.

  People in Chu Nan are fond of learning, and every year they take the college entrance examination. The scores of Chu Province are the highest in the country. As the liberal arts champion of Chu Province's college entrance examination, Li Zhenghong has his own pride. Facing Nie Zhenbang, Li Zhenghong has a kind of innate sense of superiority, and he also speaks with great arrogance.

  Looking at Li Zhenghong's appearance, Nie Zhenbang felt some disdain in his heart. However, it was also nothing unusual. People like this, in the previous life, he had seen many of them. Many officials fawned on the Nie family. But as the Nie family declined, not stepping on you would be considered good already.

  At this moment, Nie Zhenbang was puzzled that in his previous life, there wasn't this segment. That day, Nie Zhenbang returned to the dormitory very early and had never met Li Zhenghong before. Perhaps it was because of the delay that he had this encounter now.

  "No, Zheng Hong, you guys eat first, I still have something to do. This way, after today, I'll treat all of you brothers again. I'm leaving first." At this time, Nie Zhenbang was no longer in the mood for this. He urgently wanted to know whether this strange matter was true or false. Nie Zhenbang immediately ran off.

  At the same time, he was also overjoyed in his heart. If what happened next really came true, then the things that had been happening in his strange long dream might all be real after all. And what just happened told Nie Zhenbang that the future could be changed. It seemed like everything was heading in a good direction.

  He almost ran out of the school gate, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street. Nie Zhenbang was stunned, with past events clearly floating in his mind. Looking at the passing pedestrians, Nie Zhenbang was also anxiously waiting.

  Now, Nie Zhenbang has two options. First, find Yang Anna ahead of time and take her away from the danger zone. However, Nie Zhenbang is also hesitant at this moment, wondering if this is real or just a dream, as this matter is really too strange. Another option is to wait for the rabbit to come to him, waiting here until something happens. Although there is danger, it's not a bad idea. With preparation, Nie Zhenbang also has confidence that he won't end up like in his past life.

  About twenty minutes later, a familiar figure appeared in front of me. A small girl with a delicate face and a red scarf around her neck, with three stripes on her arm representing the badge of a Young Pioneer Brigade leader.

  This is Yang Anna. As the saying goes, "small and mischievous, big and well-behaved". This sentence does not apply to Yang Anna, from small to large, Yang Anna has always been the focus.

  Just then, as Yang Anna walked within two meters of her standing position, an out-of-control van would rush over from the left side.

  Save or not save? Nie Zhenbang was also struggling, if things happened, it would prove that his dream was true, save! What if he himself became disabled again. At that time, he would be recognized by his aunt Nie Guorong and biological father Nie Guowei. In the end, Nie Guowei would take this illegitimate son back home. After the old man's thunderous anger, he reluctantly accepted him. Later on, he became the most inconspicuous and unwelcome person in the Nie family. Must he really repeat a tragic life? Not save! Could his conscience rest easy? For 24 years, even if parents, sisters, all relatives gave up on him and drew a line with him. But this weak-looking girl in front of him had always stood by his side, supporting and caring for him. If not saved, it would either be disability or death, could he really bear it? At this moment, Nie Zhenbang was also hesitating. Left hand hell, right hand heaven. This multiple-choice question was not easy to answer.

  The thought flashed by. The 50-meter distance also passed in an instant. At this time, a shrill cry came from the side of the road, and when I looked up, a white van was speeding towards me. It was this van that created Nie Zhenbang's miserable life. What was supposed to happen still happened.
