Chapter 2

Wu Cheng, lying on the sand, a hint of a sly smile flashed across his lips, then he struggled to get up and turned to look at Huang Hanwei, who was holding up his right hand, looking foolish, and at Zhao Yazhi, who was covering her small mouth, wide-eyed and disbelieving.

"Huang Big Brother, why did you hit me?"

Wu Cheng looked very wronged, of course, mostly feigned. Although Huang Hanwei did hit him, the force used was not as great as imagined; Wu Cheng just took advantage of the momentum to fall.

However, Wu Cheng did not feel guilty about using such means to frame Huang Hanwei. The marriage between Sister Zhao and this man was fundamentally an unhappy one and had to be broken up!

There used to be no opportunity, and he could only sigh in secret. But now, the opportunity was right in front of him, and not taking advantage of it would be a waste of the chance to be reborn.

Additionally, there was a reason even Wu Cheng himself had not realized: he was venting the negative emotions caused by his inability to see his parents and friends again.

"Are you okay!? Did you hurt anywhere?" Zhao Yazhi rushed back in two steps, holding Wu Cheng's small hand and asking anxiously. Her concern seemed genuine.

Seeing that Wu Cheng was fine, she turned her head and glared at Huang Hanwei, saying, "How can you hit people so casually? He's just a child... I really misjudged you!"

"Ah Chi, I..."

"Chi Sister, don't argue anymore. It's all my fault, all my mistake... I didn't watch my step just now, Big Brother didn't use much force, I fell on my own."

Wu Cheng said in a weak voice, but secretly thought that if he hadn't suddenly intervened, this date would have been very successful. They seemed to have gotten married this year, and it was now June. When did they get married? He had to ruin it!

"Right, right! I really didn't use much force, I..."

"Are you saying my eyes are blind?" Zhao Yazhi was very angry, huffing. Then she helped Wu Cheng up and said, "Let's go! By the way, I don't even know your name? How old are you? Do you have any relatives here?"

Wu Cheng rubbed the back of his head and said, "My name is Wu Cheng, the 'Cheng' in 'inheritance.' I'm ten... fifteen... Chi Sister, don't disbelieve me, I just have some malnutrition. I believe I will grow quickly. My dad said I haven't started developing yet..."

Wu Cheng didn't say his name was 'Wu Zhicheng' but directly used his former name, planning to change it. Compared to 'Wu Zhicheng,' 'Wu Cheng' sounded better.

As he spoke, he secretly made a V sign with one hand behind his back and lightly touched Zhao Yazhi's firm buttocks with the other, saying, "I have an uncle here. He came over twenty years ago. We used to be in touch, but it's been a long time. The address is on some street, my dad knows, but now..."

"Alright, alright, don't be sad, and there's still Chi Sister!"

Wu Cheng pretended to be pitiful while subtly taking advantage of Zhao Yazhi in front of Huang Hanwei, making Huang Hanwei so angry that he shouted, "Mainland kid, take your dirty hands off!"

Hearing this, Wu Cheng's body trembled involuntarily. He lightly pulled on the back of Zhao Yazhi's dress, holding it tightly, looking scared, and turned to look at Huang Hanwei.

"Huang Hanwei, what are you doing?" Zhao Yazhi was really angry.

"Ah Chi, it's not... this kid is no good, he tried to touch your butt just now..."

"You... pervert!" Zhao Yazhi was furious, thinking it was impossible.

"Chi Sister, I... I know Huang Big Brother hates me. Why don't you just leave me alone? I don't want to ruin your relationship..."

Seeing Wu Cheng's 'shameless' face, Huang Hanwei was enraged. He had never experienced such frustration, never been framed and accused without a chance to defend himself.

So, he got angry, cursing, "Despicable mainland kid, die!" and slapped Wu Cheng's small face.

Slap—

The slap was loud. Wu Cheng didn't dodge, enduring it. He felt this slap came at just the right time, and with such low emotional intelligence, he felt he had won too easily.

After hitting him, Huang Hanwei felt a bit regretful. Of course, not for hitting Wu Cheng, but for hitting him in front of Zhao Yazhi. From Zhao Yazhi's fiery gaze, he knew she was really angry. "Huang Hanwei, are you even a man? What kind of skill is it to hit a child?"

"Xiao Cheng, you're not... ah! It's bleeding..."

Zhao Yazhi gently touched the blood at the corner of Wu Cheng's mouth, then turned to glare at Huang Hanwei, saying, "Huang Hanwei, are you even human? How can you hit so hard?"

Before Huang Hanwei could speak, Wu Cheng spat out the blood in his mouth and weakly interjected, "Chi Sister, does he... does he particularly dislike children? Does he treat other children like this too?"

As he spoke, Wu Cheng looked fearful and hid in Zhao Yazhi's arms, but his hands were absolutely well-behaved, not moving around.

"Ah Chi, listen to me..."

"What's there to explain?" Zhao Yazhi turned her head, looking at Wu Cheng's swelling cheeks, saying, "It must hurt a lot!"

"Chi Sister, I'm fine!" Wu Cheng smiled, pulling at the corner of his mouth. "When I didn't practice hard, my dad hit me even harder. Once he hit my butt so hard it bled, but I was fine after resting for a night!" Wu Cheng thought of the times his father hit him with a whip for not studying hard, feeling both warm and regretful, speechless with emotion.

"Alright, don't cry anymore. In the future, Chi Sister won't let anyone bully you!"

"Thank you, Chi Sister, don't cry either!"

Seeing Zhao Yazhi shed tears for him, Wu Cheng was moved by her kindness and wiped away her tears, secretly vowing to take good care of her in the future!

Cough! This guy was already daydreaming before he even started pursuing her!

Huang Hanwei suddenly felt he was in the way. Seeing their interaction, he really wanted to give Wu Cheng another slap, but he knew the consequences of doing so.

"Alright, alright! I shouldn't have hit him, I shouldn't have been petty, I shouldn't have judged a gentleman by a scoundrel's standards. It's all my fault, okay?" Huang Hanwei suddenly raised his hands in surrender, surprising Wu Cheng and making him take his opponent more seriously.

"Let's go back first, and we'll settle this kid later, okay?"

"Hmph!" Zhao Yazhi huffed, then led Wu Cheng away.

However, Wu Cheng knew that although she was very angry, she wasn't angry enough to break off relations with Huang Hanwei. The revolution was not yet complete, and comrades still needed to work hard!

The rest of the journey was peaceful. On the way, Wu Cheng went to the bathroom, and Huang Hanwei took the opportunity to ask Zhao Yazhi, "Ah Chi, you're not really planning to vouch for this mainland kid, are you? If this kid does something wrong in the future, you'll be held responsible!"

"That's my business!"

"You... how can you be so stubborn!"

"Yes, I am stubborn, what can you do?"

"Unreasonable!"

"Hmph!"

When Wu Cheng returned, he sat next to Zhao Yazhi and noticed the atmosphere in the car had changed. He obediently hid in Zhao Yazhi's arms, looking cautious.

Using cuteness to gain sympathy was something Wu Cheng was very familiar with. Being young was a big advantage. However, for pursuing a woman almost twice his age, it was the biggest disadvantage.

So, what Wu Cheng needed to do was make Zhao Yazhi ignore his age.

To make someone ignore your age, the most important thing was to have an adult's presence, a mature aura. To become mature, one had to be independent, not just in personality but also economically.

However, as he thought about how to make money, the memories in his mind gradually became clearer. It was as if there was a memory tree in his mind, growing larger with his thoughts. Things he had seen but forgotten were now suddenly so clear. Books he had read and forgotten could now be recalled with punctuation, and movies he had seen and forgotten could now be remembered shot by shot... Such terrifying memory made Wu Cheng secretly alarmed.

Is this even human? This is a superhuman ability!

Wu Cheng picked up the magazine next to him and glanced at it, finding that he could read ten lines at a glance and remember them. Although the characters were in traditional Chinese and the text was vertical, the content was clearly imprinted in his mind.

This was not understanding and remembering, but rote memorization!

He felt he was gradually becoming a superhuman!

He put down the magazine without showing any emotion, recalling the movies dubbed in Cantonese in his mind and integrating the Cantonese language.

What was once difficult for him was now easy.

Such a change could only be attributed to the benefits of being reborn in a different time and place.

As the surroundings changed from the outskirts to the city, with buildings that evoked a sense of the times, Wu Cheng felt an infinite sense of nostalgia—this was Hong Kong!

"The place up ahead is Yuen Long, a satellite city of Hong Kong..."

Zhao Yazhi introduced the place to Wu Cheng, who was looking around in amazement. Although Wu Cheng was not very familiar with Hong Kong, he knew that Yuen Long was not far from TVB.

In other words, Wu Cheng considered himself lucky. There were so many beaches in Hong Kong, and if Zhao Yazhi and her friends had wanted to go to the beach, they wouldn't have chosen this place.

So, Wu Cheng felt that Huang Hanwei's purpose in bringing Zhao Yazhi here was not so simple. However, since it hadn't happened, Wu Cheng didn't know what Huang Hanwei's intentions were. Perhaps he wanted to impress Zhao Yazhi in his own way.

Huang Hanwei dropped Zhao Yazhi and Wu Cheng off in Kowloon, then drove away, claiming he had to go to the hospital. This made Zhao Yazhi even more angry.

However, she didn't say much, as Huang Hanwei's reason was legitimate.

Taking Wu Cheng, Zhao Yazhi bought him two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes, then took him back to her residence near Broadcast Drive.

When Wu Cheng washed off the dirt and changed into new clothes, Zhao Yazhi was taken aback. Was this really the dirty boy she had just picked up?
