Chapter 2

Wang Chun didn't throw his phone for no reason; it was because he knew what was about to happen today.

Sixty days ago, at this very time, Wang Chun received a call from Yingzi asking him to book a private room. This call not only cost him half a year's salary but also made him hand over his casual girlfriend to a rich second-generation.

Thinking about how he had spent money to let another man date his girlfriend, the veins on Wang Chun's neck bulged.

The car accident from sixty days ago was about to happen again. Wang Chun would be tricked into paying the bill and breaking up with his girlfriend, just like before. The only difference was that Wang Chun now knew the outcome, and he had accidentally smashed his beloved phone.

"Ah... my phone!"

Wang Chun came to his senses, wailing as he looked at the shattered remains of his phone on the ground. He wished he could just bash his head against the wall and die. This was a phone he had saved up for two months to buy!

Was it worth it, all for a woman?

Wang Chun, who was constantly reflecting, squatted down and tried to reassemble the shattered phone. After picking up a few pieces, he gave up, finally accepting the harsh reality. His burst of anger had been so intense that it left no chance for the phone to be repaired.

"Hmm, if that Taoist sends me back in time again, my phone will be saved?" Thinking about this, Wang Chun's mood improved significantly.

...

When it was nine o'clock, Wang Chun's girlfriend, Yingzi, arrived with a few friends, saying more people were on their way.

Just like two months ago, when Yingzi introduced everyone, she only mentioned that Wang Chun was her friend, not her boyfriend.

Although they had met sixty days ago, Wang Chun had no impression of these people because, back then, he had no contact with them and didn't even enter the private room.

Yingzi asked for the room number and led the group straight in. Although no one looked down on Wang Chun, no one noticed the bearded security guard, treating him as if he were air.

If it were before, Wang Chun wouldn't have felt anything, after all, he was just a lowly security guard. But today, the feeling of being ignored was particularly unbearable, and every time he was discriminated against, his head would throb slightly, as if reminding him.

Yingzi wasn't exactly Wang Chun's official girlfriend; "casual girlfriend" would better describe their relationship. However, whether she was a girlfriend or a casual girlfriend, it was still painful to have her taken away.

What was even more unbearable for Wang Chun was that he had to pay for a rich second-generation to date a girl!

If this could be tolerated, what couldn't be?

For Wang Chun, losing a girlfriend was understandable; he believed in fair competition, and if he lost, he lost. The problem was that he was also tricked into paying half a year's salary, which was intolerable.

The lights were bright, and the streets were bustling. The Greek Mythology business was at its peak, with people constantly entering and leaving. The entrance was crowded with handsome men and beautiful women, and the roadside was lined with shiny luxury cars.

Thinking about how he was about to spend half a year's savings to pay for others, Wang Chun felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He had no heart for work, but it was a busy time, and he couldn't leave.

Finally, around eleven o'clock, Wang Chun vaguely remembered that in about an hour, Yingzi and her group would be leaving, drunk.

"Manager Chen, could you please tell them I have something to do?" Wang Chun said to the hall manager, Manager Chen, with a fawning expression.

"No, it's the peak time for guests to leave," Manager Chen said, sitting behind his desk and scrolling through his phone, checking lottery information. He usually collected bills for others to earn some extra money.

"Manager Chen, it's really urgent, please help me..."

"No." Brother Hua was staring intently at his phone screen, clearly waiting for the underground lottery results.

"Fire me then!" Thinking about how he might lose half a year's salary, Wang Chun's anger surged, and he threw his hat onto the sofa, turning to go upstairs.

For Wang Chun, this lowly job was far from worth the cost of the private room. If he had to bear a huge debt, he might as well quit.

Without a doubt, Wang Chun was a decisive person. After weighing the pros and cons, he wouldn't compromise.

Of course, the key reason was that Wang Chun believed that if he went back in time and restored his previous life, today's events would be as if they never happened, revealing his true nature...

"..."

Watching Wang Chun go upstairs, Manager Chen was stunned. In his impression, Wang Chun was a sycophantic little security guard. Although he was looking at his phone, he still saw Wang Chun throw his hat, an action filled with a mysterious ferocity.

Manager Chen was taken aback, looked at Wang Chun's back as he went upstairs, and then glanced at the congested traffic outside. After hesitating, he went out to maintain order—there was no point in arguing with a security guard over a trivial matter, and hiring employees was not easy these days.

When he reached room 2028 and pushed the door open, Wang Chun was stunned. The private room was already packed, with bottles of alcohol scattered on the coffee table and the floor, including some expensive red wines, which made his scalp tingle. The air was thick with the smell of alcohol.

The atmosphere was very lively, with loud music playing. Some were drinking, some were shaking dice, some were dancing, and some were whispering, forming small groups here and there.

At a glance, Wang Chun realized that most of the people were students, probably because it was almost the end of the semester at Liu University, and the seniors were about to graduate. Everyone was out celebrating.

"No wonder it cost over eight thousand, with so many people!"

Wang Chun cursed inwardly, spotting Yingzi immediately. She was drinking a toast with a handsome and suave guy, her eyes half-closed in a lovesick expression. Wang Qiang wanted to smash her head with a bottle.

In the end, Wang Chun resisted the urge to smash Yingzi's head with a bottle. He followed the principle of fairness with women; everyone could compete, and he didn't really care about Yingzi. If someone was willing to be the fall guy, he wouldn't bother.

After observing the situation, Wang Chun called out the DJ in charge of the room and the young master who would pay the bill, repeatedly instructing them not to sign the bill under his name. Then, he pushed the door open and entered the room again.

"Playing with me, I'll play you to death today!"

Wang Chun entered the room with a harmless smile, offering toasts and ordering several expensive bottles of red wine—since he wasn't paying for them.

By this time, everyone was already quite drunk, and the people in the room didn't all know each other. They accepted Wang Chun's toasts without hesitation.

"What are you doing here?" When Wang Chun came to Yingzi, she was startled, quickly distancing herself from the rich and handsome guy, her face showing displeasure.

"Nothing, just came to say hi, you guys play on." Wang Chun leaned close to Yingzi, kissed her forehead, and whispered in her ear, "Come to my place later, we'll have a good time!"

"What are you up to?" Yingzi was caught off guard, kissed directly, and looked angry.

"Ha ha ha... you drink, I'm going to flirt."

Wang Chun laughed lecherously and walked to the other side of the room, where he had already spotted a target.

In a corner of the sofa, a girl was drinking alone. The room was dimly lit, but she looked decent, with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary aura.

"Beautiful lady, have a drink." Wang Chun picked up a glass and sat next to the girl, gesturing to her.

The girl looked Wang Chun up and down, smiled slightly, and took a small sip of red wine, ignoring him.

Wang Chun didn't care about her disdainful look. He never cared about the disdain of women, and working here, he had to endure countless discriminatory gazes every day, making him numb.

In Wang Chun's view, whether a woman was热情奔放 (passionate and outgoing) or 冷艳高贵 (cold and noble), once in bed, with the lights off, they were all the same.

"Did a man dump you?" Wang Chun whispered in the girl's ear.

"None of your business!" The girl glanced at the lecherous Wang Chun, frowned, and moved away a bit.

"Damn, do you think I want to bother with you? It's none of my business if you got dumped, I just feel sorry for you!" Wang Chun wasn't the type to pity women, and he spat harshly.

"Pity? Ha, you just want to flirt with me." The girl's face showed a mocking smile.

"Flirt with you? Look at yourself in the mirror! Besides, what can you do if I want to flirt with you? If I want to, I can strip you naked and take you to my bed tonight." Wang Chun's face showed a shameless, lecherous smile. He was already past caring and didn't bother with his image, which was already non-existent.

"Pervert!" The girl coldly snorted, finding his crudeness disgusting.

"Being dumped by a man, what's the big deal? I'm watching my own girlfriend date someone else right now, and I have to swallow my anger and pretend to be happy." Wang Chun drank in one gulp, then looked at Yingzi with a bitter expression.

At this moment, Wang Chun needed to take the first step, to get closer to the girl and make her feel a sense of shared suffering, so he could take advantage of the situation.

"Is she your girlfriend?"

Sure enough, the girl looked at the intimate Yingzi and the handsome guy, showing a sympathetic look.

"I think after today, she won't be my girlfriend anymore." Wang Chun put on a worried expression.

"Sorry..." Seeing Wang Chun's heartbroken look, the girl felt sympathy.

"Sorry for what? In this world, it's hard to find a three-legged toad, but two-legged women are everywhere. Drink, drink, let's drink to the fullest, and don't leave until we're drunk!"

"Ha ha, that's true. It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but two-legged men are everywhere. Let's drink to heartbreak!" The girl laughed at Wang Chun's words, raised her glass, and drank it in one gulp.

"You're not bad-looking, and you're not ugly. There will always be men who like you." Wang Chun comforted her. At this moment, to undermine the girl's confidence, he lied. The girl might have cried, with her makeup a mess, but she was still clearly very beautiful, which was why he was trying so hard.
