Chapter 13

Thinking about the few hours after his rebirth and the meeting with his grandmother, the kind face of his grandmother, and how she had always taken care of his every move with utmost attention to detail, Jin Yufan became increasingly excited, eager to get home as soon as possible.

Just as he stepped off the train, Jin Yufan said nothing, silently leading Lu He out of the station and hailing a taxi. He gave the address and let the taxi weave through the streets of Busan.

Lu He, sitting beside him, curiously glanced a few times at the unusually quiet Jin Yufan but said nothing.

In Lu He's eyes, Jin Yufan might be considering how to convince his grandmother to agree to him becoming a trainee at DSP Entertainment.

After all, at Jin Yufan's age, the allure of becoming a dazzling star on stage was not something a child could easily resist.

Not to mention, even if it were himself, he doubted he could resist such temptation.

However, Lu He didn't know that Jin Yufan wasn't thinking about how to persuade his grandmother. Instead, he was savoring the small details of the few hours he spent with his grandmother after his rebirth.

To be honest, Jin Yufan hadn't really thought about becoming a star. The reason he initially participated in the DSP Entertainment's talent selection was entirely due to his personality, which didn't quite fit with his grandmother's enthusiasm. He wanted to take a break, so he joined the selection.

After that, the many pieces of information about the future of the Korean entertainment industry in his mind made Jin Yufan realize that becoming a trainee and pursuing an artistic career was absolutely the right path for him, at least the most suitable one.

Of course, this didn't mean that Jin Yufan would go to any lengths to force his grandmother to agree to him becoming a trainee at DSP Entertainment.

Too many experiences of deceit and manipulation in his previous life made Jin Yufan unwilling to live such a life again. Although he was introverted, it didn't mean he truly enjoyed being so.

In his previous life, being introverted was a form of self-protection. But now, with his rebirth, there was no need to continue this pretense, which made him feel exhausted.

Moreover, Jin Yufan was human, and humans crave attention and care, being social creatures.

In his previous life, he became increasingly introverted. After rebirth, without the complex situations and issues of his past, Jin Yufan increasingly desired care and attention, longing for the warmth of a family.

After half a month, Jin Yufan used this time to prepare mentally and emotionally for the transition.

If his grandmother ultimately refused to let him become a trainee at DSP Entertainment, Jin Yufan would not hesitate to give up on the artistic path.

For Jin Yufan, with his intelligence and abilities, any path would be feasible and not too difficult. However, the artistic path was simpler, easier, and faster.

But compared to his only living relative, his grandmother, everything else seemed less important.

"Thank you!" After half an hour, Jin Yufan and Lu He got out of the taxi. After Lu He paid and thanked the driver, Jin Yufan led the way into a residential area.

This residential area was very close to the sea, with some places only a few dozen meters away, and others a few hundred meters. The sea was obscured by buildings, but you could still catch glimpses of it through the gaps between buildings.

Although he had lived in this neighborhood since birth, his introverted personality meant Jin Yufan had few friends and rarely went out. Therefore, when he encountered people on the road, they didn't recognize him.

After about twenty minutes of walking, Jin Yufan led Lu He into a building. They didn't have to climb any stairs because Jin Yufan's home was on the first floor.

This was due to Jin Yufan's father, who, considering his grandmother's poor health, used various methods to secure a first-floor apartment. This was something Jin Yufan's father often boasted about.

There was no so-called hesitation as he stood in front of the door. Without any hesitation, he pressed the doorbell.

"Ding~~~~~Ding" The clear and pleasant doorbell rang.

"Woof woof woof..." Accompanied by the doorbell, a sudden burst of fierce barking came from inside the door. From the deep and loud barks, it was clear that the dog was a large one.

A second later, the wooden door behind the security door seemed to be hit by the dog inside. Soon, the sound of the dog scratching at the door could be heard clearly.

"Yufan, what's this?" The sudden barking startled Lu He, who looked worriedly at the door and asked instinctively.

"Ha ha, don't worry, this is my dog, a German Shepherd named General!" Seeing Lu He's fear, Jin Yufan couldn't help but laugh and reassure him.

It's understandable; no one would feel unafraid when suddenly encountering a large, fierce dog.

"General, be quiet!" Jin Yufan kicked the security door instinctively and shouted loudly.

Sure enough, with Jin Yufan's shout, the dog, which had been quite agitated inside, immediately calmed down, though it occasionally made sounds like whining or talking.

Seeing the dog's cooperation, Jin Yufan couldn't help but smile. To be honest, this dog held a very high place in Jin Yufan's heart, as it was his only companion in a sense.

After his parents' death, Jin Yufan became introverted, and his grandmother, worried about his isolation, eventually bought a German Shepherd at Jin Yufan's request.

Jin Yufan, who had been bullied by other children, named the dog "General" without hesitation, meaning he wanted the dog to protect him like a general.

In fact, General did live up to this expectation. As he grew, the large dog quickly gained enough deterrent power. This led to Jin Yufan no longer being bullied in the neighborhood, and he grew to trust and feel close to General, even becoming somewhat dependent on him.

Now, with his rebirth, although he wasn't as dependent on the dog, Jin Yufan had raised a dog before. At that time, for Jin Yufan, dogs were far more reliable than the people around him.

"Who is it?" With a hoarse voice, the wooden door opened, and a grandmother in her early sixties appeared in front of Jin Yufan and Lu He.

The old lady seemed to be in poor health, slightly hunched, and coughed a bit when she spoke.

When she saw her grandson Jin Yufan standing outside, her eyes lit up, and she opened the security door with a smile, quickly stepping out and hugging Jin Yufan tightly.

"Oh, my little treasure, you've been gone for half a month. This is the first time you've been away from me for so long. Do you know that during these half a month, I couldn't eat or sleep well, worrying if you were eating well, sleeping well, and not being bullied?"

As she spoke, tears suddenly rolled down her eyes, dripping onto Jin Yufan's hair.

Hearing his grandmother's words and feeling the wetness on his head, Jin Yufan's eyes gradually turned red.

(Recently, due to some personal matters and the approaching New Year, I have been very busy, and the updates have been slow. I hope everyone can understand and be patient. I promise to increase the update speed after this busy period.)
