Chapter 5: “Reborn” Lei Yating

Chapter 5: “Reborn” Lei Yating

Understanding was one thing, but Zhou Huirong felt that as the dormitory leader, she should unite her roommates.

It takes a thousand years of fate to share a dormitory room. If she could save Xiao Hong, then she should save her. She could not just watch her fall into depravity.

“Hmph!”

Bai Xiaoxiao disliked Xiao Hong, but she also could not stand the dormitory leader’s habit of playing the saint and being generous with other people’s sacrifices. She could not help rolling her eyes.

Lei Yating was taking a nap on the upper bunk, while another girl sat cross-legged on her bed playing a game with headphones on, not hearing the confrontation between her roommates.

Looking at the two girls, Pei Ye found it rather novel.

A single dormitory room could actually squeeze in eight people!

Back when she was studying, a dormitory room housed at most two students. Later on, everyone even had their own apartment.

Seeing that Pei Ye was not responding, Zhou Huirong and Bai Xiaoxiao quickly lost interest.

The time for Bai Xiaoxiao’s facial mask was up. Just as she was about to go wash her face in the corridor washroom, the dormitory door opened.

It turned out that the roommates who had gone shopping at the supermarket had returned.

As soon as she came back, she said, “That scared me to death! Someone died in a traffic accident near our school!”

Bai Xiaoxiao said, “Another traffic accident death? That makes three this month already, doesn’t it? Who died this time?”

“How would I know who it was? I saw it on my way back from the supermarket. One of the cars was even a Maserati, a sports car worth millions!”

“Tsk, every car you see is a Maserati. The cheaper models from that brand only cost a few hundred thousand to a million. Stop calling everything a multi-million sports car.”

Bai Xiaoxiao came from a fairly wealthy family. Her family had savings of one to two million yuan, making her the rich beauty of the dormitory.

The girl being mocked did not mind.

“That’s not the point. The point is that someone died. I heard he was a tall, rich, handsome guy. What a pity.”

“Any man who’s even remotely decent-looking and has a wealth halo in your eyes becomes a tall, rich, handsome guy. That term isn’t that cheap.”

Bai Xiaoxiao disliked several of her roommates.

They had seen too little of the world and were easily impressed. Everything made them gasp in amazement.

Just because someone drove a Maserati of unknown value, he was a tall, rich, handsome guy?

Who knew if it had just been rented to show off?

If she used Yves Saint Laurent or Givenchy lipstick, could she also brag about using luxury goods?

Zhou Huirong interrupted them.

“Enough. The dead deserve respect. It’s not good for you to discuss them like this.”

Bai Xiaoxiao snapped back.

“Who was discussing the dead? You’re the only one who knows how to be a good person!”

Scenes like this happened in the dormitory every day.

“You’re all so noisy!”

Zhou Huirong was about to say something else when Lei Yating, who lived on the bunk above Pei Ye, suddenly lost her temper and kicked off her blanket.

Everyone fell silent. Lei Yating sat up and swept her gaze across them in horror.

After a while, the sweat-soaked Lei Yating suppressed her waking anger and quietly said, “Sorry,” before climbing down from her bed and heading to the toilet.

Dormitory 4021 was very close to the corridor restroom. Everyone could hear the sound of Lei Yating slamming the door.

The bang was loud enough for several neighboring dormitories to hear.

Bai Xiaoxiao said, “Tsk, what a temper after waking up!”

A bad temper after waking up?

Pei Ye glanced toward Lei Yating’s bed and curled her lips.

She knew Lei Yating was not angry from waking up.

Lei Yating had been “reborn.”

She had died full of injustice and been reborn full of hatred. Naturally, her temper was explosive.

Pei Ye’s guess was correct. At that moment, Lei Yating was squatting in a restroom stall, her expression more vicious than that of a malicious ghost.

Ha ha ha! The laughter was suppressed in her throat and sounded utterly deranged. “I actually came back to life!”

Lei Yating had been reborn, reborn to a point before everything had happened.

This year, she was still an innocent nursing college student. She had not yet been tricked into pregnancy by her top student boyfriend from the neighboring Building 233 and forced into marrying him.

Bah!

What top student?

He was nothing more than a shameless phoenix man.

In her previous life, Lei Yating had dated the phoenix man for less than a month before being sweet-talked into bed by him.

Although she was hopelessly in love, she had not wanted to become pregnant so early.

The phoenix man, however, worried that he would not be able to remain in the city after graduation. He planned to create a fait accompli and use a child to bind Lei Yating to him.

As a result, he secretly punctured the condoms before having sex with Lei Yating. After they rented hotel rooms several times, Lei Yating became pregnant!!!

When Lei Yating learned the news, it was like being struck by lightning. She panicked and did not know what to do.

The phoenix man told her that condoms were not one hundred percent effective, and product quality could never be guaranteed. Since the pregnancy had already happened, they should keep the child. He would take responsibility!

This display of boyfriend-like reliability reassured Lei Yating considerably. In the end, she ignored her parents’ opposition and married the penniless phoenix man.

After marriage, the phoenix man gradually revealed his true nature.

Using the excuse that Lei Yating only had a vocational college education and that nursing work was exhausting and had no future, he persuaded her to drop out and become a full-time housewife, saving the expense of hiring a nanny.

When she gave birth and was observing the postpartum confinement period, the phoenix man brought his mother from their hometown, claiming that a mother-in-law should take care of her daughter-in-law. He also brought along a divorced younger sister who was dependent on the family.

The apartment had been bought by Lei Yating’s parents, yet it became the stronghold of the phoenix man’s family. Lei Yating’s voice in the household grew weaker and weaker, and she was constantly criticized by the old woman.

Several years later, the child had grown up, and the phoenix man had climbed to a managerial position in his department, attracting the attention of his boss’s daughter.

To become his boss’s ideal son-in-law, the phoenix man and his mother devised a plan. That vicious old woman actually splashed sulfuric acid on Lei Yating’s face and then hacked her to death with a kitchen cleaver.

During the few days she wandered as a ghost, she saw the true faces of that poisonous mother and son. She saw them occupy her home. She saw her parents, whom she had gradually drifted away from over the years, forced to bury their own child. She saw her biological daughter being beaten by the old woman and verbally abused by her own father. She even saw the mistress and the phoenix man doing shameless things on what had once been her marital bed.

Anger filled her chest. Lei Yating wished she could become a malicious ghost and tear that adulterous pair apart with her bare hands!

The next moment, her weightless body suddenly regained substance, and noisy arguments entered her ears.

“You’re all so noisy!”

Lei Yating shouted angrily, then froze in astonishment.

She actually saw several familiar people who were more than ten years younger?

The women in their early twenties were all youthful and vibrant, their faces full of collagen, far from the exhaustion and bitterness she remembered.

Lei Yating hurriedly apologized and went to the restroom, hiding in a stall to calm herself.

She had been reborn.

The phoenix man had not yet stolen her virginity.

And...

Lei Yating stared blankly at the iPhone 6 in her hand for a long time.

She had been about to send a QQ message to break up with that scumbag when she was inexplicably notified that she had joined a QQ group called Heavenly Court Immortals Group.

Every member in the group seemed afflicted with chuunibyou, using names such as Chang’e Fairy, True Lord of the Marvelous Dao of Qingyuan, Mysterious Spirit Doumu Primordial Sovereign, Wenchang Emperor, Divine Lord Mengzhang of the Azure Dragon...

Oh, Lei Yating’s own QQ ID was Suqing Fairy. She was probably dragged into the group by mistake because of that.

She had just been about to leave when an internet user with the ID Supreme Heavenly Official of Bestowed Blessings sent a red packet.

Following the principle that only a fool turns down free benefits, she quickly grabbed one. The system informed her that she had obtained a Fortune Gathering Talisman from the red packet sent by Supreme Heavenly Official of Bestowed Blessings.

Meow meow meow???

What exactly had she grabbed?

Wasn’t it supposed to be money?

Lei Yating suddenly remembered the red-packet novels she had read before and tried claiming the Fortune Gathering Talisman.

The next second, her eyes widened in shock as she stared fixedly at the object that had appeared out of thin air in her hand.
