The pain in his waist and abdomen felt as if someone had gruesomely cut it open and roughly stitched it back together with large needles.

Shen Nan furrowed his brows tightly and thought to himself, "Why am I still feeling this pain even after I'm dead? Didn't they say that when people die, it's like a flame extinguished?"

In his irritable and restless state, a pair of gentle and cool hands reached out and lightly touched his forehead, smoothing out the furrowed brows with the thumb and forefinger.

Shen Nan was stunned for a moment before slowly opening his eyes.

The first thing that caught his eye was the warm sunlight, which made him immediately turn his head to avoid it. His vision was filled with a white blur, and before he could recover, a young and uniquely seductive voice sounded in his ears:

"Are you awake?"

The short two words made Shen Nan suddenly open his eyes wide.

Afterwards, a youthful yet handsome face, cool and distant while also containing a hint of tenderness, occupied his entire field of vision.

The retina had just transmitted the image to the brain, and the nerves retrieved a matching name from the memory cells. Meanwhile, his body had already reacted—

He quickly shrank to the edge of the bed, creating distance. His eyes scanned around rapidly, but he didn't find a suitable weapon at hand. He had no choice but to use the bedsheet to resist.

The other person froze, maintaining a posture of holding a cup of water, with a bewildered look on their face, "Nannan?"

Shen Nan shivered and fell off the bed.

During his fall, the scenery transformed into a parabolic curve, and coincidentally, an old yellow calendar on the wall crashed into his line of sight —

March 12, 20xx, the sixth day of the second lunar month, Arbor Day. It is suitable for praying for blessings, fasting and making sacrifices, traveling, moving, entering a new home, construction, breaking ground, and burial ceremonies. It is inauspicious for betrothal, consecration, setting up a bed, marriage, and opening a market.

Shen Nan thought, surely there must be something wrong with my eyes.

When he touched the cold floor, a slight pain shot through his tailbone. Subconsciously, he used his hand to rub it, only to feel the warmth of his own body. He froze for a moment, then hesitantly and confusedly thought:

It seems like I didn't die?

At the other end of the bed, two words frightened the person so much that they fell off the bed. The main culprit hurriedly came over to help him up.

The refreshing scent of mint emanating from the young man caused Shen Nan's nostrils to twitch slightly. He evaded the other person's attempt to touch him, retreating to the corner, and slowly called out his name: "..."

"Shao Bei."

Shaobei.

It had been so many years since he had last said this name so clearly. Shen Nan couldn't believe it himself, but as soon as he spoke, he realized that he wanted to cry!

Shao Bei nodded hesitantly, sensing that Shen Nan had become somewhat strange. In the next moment, she noticed that his eyes had become moist.

Shao Bei was startled, "Did you get hurt from falling? Come here, let me hold you!"

Shen Nan hadn't even had time to react when Shao Beilei, in an imposing and swift manner, princess-carried him. In such close proximity, the scent of Shao Beilei's minty fragrance filled his breath. But now, this scent made him tremble with fear. He just wanted to struggle, but before he knew it, he was gently placed onto the bed. Shao Beilei touched his face, and his fingertips slid across his eyelids. Then, hastily calling out "Teacher," Shao Beilei hurriedly ran off.

Shen Nan: "......"

After the school doctor reexamined him, Shen Nan hesitated and confirmed that he seemed to have been reborn ten years ago.

Ten years ago, when he and Shao Bei had not yet become enemies.

At this moment, Shao Bei was attentively listening to the admonishments of the school doctor. His peripheral vision occasionally fell upon Shen Nan, who was lying on the sickbed. Shao Bei, still in his youthful appearance, had a relatively gentle and tender countenance. His hair, eyebrows, eyes, and lips were all soft, lacking sharpness, and naturally not giving anyone the impression that this person would become the feared North Young Master in the future, causing others to tremble at the mere mention of his name in the underworld.

After listening to the doctor's instructions, Bei Shao at the moment said to him, "Nan Nan, I'll go buy lunch for you. Just wait for me."

Shen Nan felt extremely uncomfortable hearing him use such an intimate title, wondering why he didn't remember that Shao Bei used to call him that way before.

When he contemplates, his brows will unconsciously furrow. Seeing this, Shao Bei walks over and is about to reach out, but Sheng Nan immediately avoids him, sensing his intentions.

His hand, which was halfway raised, froze in place. A dazed and confused expression flashed across his eyes, as if he hadn't understood what had just happened.

Shen Nan didn't dare to meet his gaze and averted his head, remaining silent.

Shaobei had no choice but to go buy lunch.

In the school infirmary, only Shen Nan and the young school doctor were left. Shen Nan had already forgotten a lot about his student days. After graduating from high school, he entered society and went through ups and downs, so he had already forgotten what it was like to be a student.

The school doctor looked at him with a gentle smile, resembling that of an elder, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you still having a disagreement with your boyfriend?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Nan subconsciously retorted, but halfway through his sentence, he abruptly paused and looked at the school doctor in horror, asking, "What...did...you...say?!"

The school doctor was startled by his sudden shout: "I say, you and your boyfriend..."

Shen Nan widened her eyes and said, "How could I possibly have a boyfriend?"

The school doctor stared at him for a moment and then chuckled, "Shen Nan, who doesn't know that Shao Bei is your boyfriend now? Don't worry, we don't discriminate against same-sex relationships."

Shen Nan: "......"

Is this fucking a question of discrimination or not?!
