Chapter 1

"Breaking news, a new type of influenza virus, TZ-S001, has been discovered in the United States. The source of the virus is currently unknown..."

Chen Fei had just opened his phone to play a game when he inadvertently clicked on the news notification that had just appeared. After hearing the first two sentences, he rolled his eyes and immediately exited the news.

"What the hell? What's going on with the United States lately? Three states were hit by tornadoes the day before yesterday, and yesterday a giant meteor fell and destroyed two buildings, killing over a thousand people. Now there's a new type of flu virus! It's clear that it's still safest in our country!"

Chen Fei held his phone, waiting for the game to load, and sighed with a sense of concern for the country and its people.

At that moment, a scream came from outside the bedroom.

"Ah! Chen Fei! The bathroom is clogged again! Hurry up! It's disgusting!"

Hearing this, Chen Fei darted out of the bedroom and rushed into the bathroom in two quick steps. He skillfully worked on the toilet, preventing a disaster from happening.

Chen Fei squatted on the ground, taking a deep breath. Turning his head, he saw a pair of long, straight, milk-white legs, which made his mouth dry. Before he could stand up, the owner of the legs grabbed his ear and pulled him up.

Mu Meiqing glared at Chen Fei with her big, expressive eyes and scolded him in a low voice.

"Hey! Chen Fei! Didn't I give you 1000 yuan to replace the toilet? It's been a week, and you still haven't done it?"

Chen Fei looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, who combined beauty and strength, and nervously smiled, answering, "Well... Sister Qing, I'm a bit short on cash... So... I... I used your money... I promise I'll replace the toilet within seven days! I promise!"

Seeing Chen Fei's pitiful face, Mu Meiqing let out a cold snort and released his ear. However, before Chen Fei could relax, his other ear was grabbed by someone else. The familiar scent of perfume made him shudder. Then, a woman's playful and teasing voice came from beside him.

"Sister Qing, don't listen to him, he's lying again!"

The speaker was a red-haired woman in a wine-red chiffon nightgown. Her flawless, fair face was accentuated by a small mole below her left eye, making her even more alluring.

If Mu Meiqing was as cold as ice, then this red-haired woman was as passionate as a flame, making many men willing to be consumed by her.

Chen Fei turned his head to look at Nangong Jin, trying to hide his guilt, and said, "Sister Jin, you can't frame me! By heaven and earth, how could I lie to Sister Qing!"

Nangong Jin, who had anticipated Chen Fei's response, smiled and waved a black phone in front of Chen Fei. It was the phone he had left on the bed.

"Will you tell me your new phone password?" Nangong Jin asked with a sly smile.

Hearing this, Chen Fei subconsciously thought of something and felt a bit nervous.

"Um... Sister Jin, that's my personal privacy, don't be too much!"

Chen Fei's defense made Nangong Jin smile slyly. She leaned in closer, her breath warm, and said in a lazy voice, "Little Fei, do you have any secrets from me? I know everything, including the encrypted files on your phone. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being rough!"

Nangong Jin then grabbed Chen Fei's ear and brought the phone screen in front of him. Before Chen Fei could react, the screen displayed "Face ID verification successful."

Nangong Jin let out a cold snort and, with ease, opened the WeChat app on the phone, showing the recent transaction records to Mu Meiqing. Seeing the game recharge records, Mu Meiqing's face turned cold, and the temperature around them seemed to drop.

"Do you have anything else to say? Is this your conscience?"

Mu Meiqing glared at him with her clear, big eyes, her voice angry.

Chen Fei shrank back, not daring to meet Mu Meiqing's eyes, and answered in a deadpan voice, "Well... I... I have class tomorrow, can you not hit me in the face?"

"Ah..."

The bathroom then echoed with ten minutes of惨绝人寰的叫声。

"Chen Fei, that 1000 yuan will count as a month's rent. As for the toilet, I'll have someone replace it tomorrow. You've really disappointed me!"

"Little Fei, if you had cooperated and confessed, I might have pleaded for you. Now... my hands are too tired from hitting you, so the dirty clothes for both Sister Qing and me are yours to wash!"

Mu Meiqing and Nangong Jin left the bathroom, each carrying a basket of clothes and dumping them in front of Chen Fei. Chen Fei looked at the pile of clothes, feeling utterly helpless. Mu Meiqing's clothes were only a few pieces, but Nangong Jin's were over a dozen, including socks and undergarments!

Chen Fei's head hung low, his face ashen. What the hell was going on? After beating him, they made him do the laundry. Was there anything more outrageous?

Chen Fei truly regretted his moment of lust. Now, it was easy to invite trouble but hard to get rid of it. He didn't know how long he would have to endure such a miserable life.

This all started a year ago...

Because it was the May Day holiday, Chen Fei's parents decided to travel abroad. Unfortunately, one of the passengers on the plane had bad luck, leading to the death of everyone on board, including the flight attendants and the pilot. Thus, Chen Fei became an orphan.

As an only child and of legal age, Chen Fei inherited a 140-square-meter apartment, a black SUV originally worth 230,000 yuan, 500,000 yuan in savings, and... 600,000 yuan in mortgage debt.

Chen Fei was just a sophomore at a third-rate university in the city. With no income, he couldn't afford the mortgage. However, Chen Fei, though not academically inclined, was not stupid. He knew that nothing was as valuable as real estate, so he used the 500,000 yuan in savings and the 120,000 yuan from selling the car to pay off the mortgage in one go.

In the end, Chen Fei inherited a 2,000,000 yuan apartment and 20,000 yuan in savings.

Chen Fei was a big spender, often spending 800 to 1,000 yuan a month on games, plus daily expenses, which quickly depleted his savings. Unwilling to work, Chen Fei decided to rent out his apartment. He only needed one bedroom, and his apartment had three spacious bedrooms, even the balcony, which he used as a gym, could be converted into a bedroom.

The neighborhood where Chen Fei lived was a mid-to-high-end area in Zhongnan City, with a prime location. The apartment, though not luxurious, was well-decorated. Such apartments were rarely rented out, and Chen Fei's low asking price attracted interest quickly. In the morning, he posted the listing, and by noon, he received a call. When he showed the apartment, he was captivated by the two tall, beautiful women and agreed to rent to them without hesitation. Little did he know, this decision would bring him into a living hell.

...

It took Chen Fei two hours to wash all the clothes. By the time he finished, Mu Meiqing and Nangong Jin had already returned to their bedrooms to rest.

Chen Fei lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling utterly drained. Others envied him for having two beautiful tenants, but only he knew the hardships.

Mu Meiqing and Nangong Jin were not from Zhongnan City, but they worked there. Mu Meiqing was an orthopedic doctor at the city hospital, and Nangong Jin was a yoga instructor. They were both high-level students at the Zhongnan Longteng Taekwondo Club, holding blue belts. They had become friends through taekwondo.

To Chen Fei, Mu Meiqing and Nangong Jin were like two roses with thorns, one snow-white and one blood-red.

"Mu Meiqing! Nangong Jin! You two heartless foxes, I'll get you one day!"

Chen Fei clenched his teeth, thinking viciously, and drifted off to sleep, dreaming of himself in a position of power, with Mu Meiqing and Nangong Jin obedient to him...

When Chen Fei woke up, it was 9:30 AM the next day. Mu Meiqing and Nangong Jin had gone to work, leaving him alone in the house.

Chen Fei rubbed his sleepy eyes and was about to get up when a basketball-sized blue light ball appeared in the center of his bedroom.

The moment the blue light ball appeared, Chen Fei felt a chaotic wind pressure in the room, and even the bed seemed to tremble.

Still groggy, Chen Fei initially thought it was a hallucination. However, within three seconds, the blue light ball had expanded to over a meter in diameter, and the intense wind pressure made it hard for him to breathe.

Whoosh...

The next second, the blue light ball disappeared, and a black figure appeared in front of Chen Fei.

"Phew... Successful 28th time travel! Checking time and coordinates..."

"The year and month are accurate, the date is off by seven days, but it's not a big issue. Phew... Finally successful, it's still the same here..."

Chen Fei rubbed his eyes three times and even bit himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating!

The black-clad figure was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing black leather pants and black high-top boots. He had a black, knee-length, fitted leather coat and a high-tech metal arm guard on his right arm. His hair was styled in a messy braid, tied into a loose ponytail, giving him a saintly gunslinger vibe. He was looking down at the high-tech arm guard, muttering to himself. Because he was facing away from Chen Fei, his face was not visible.

Chen Fei looked around and saw the door still closed, puzzled about how the black-clad figure had entered his room!

Through the window? But this was the 11th floor!

Unable to figure it out, Chen Fei decided it must be a burglar, and a very professional one at that!

What the hell! Burglary in broad daylight? How dare you be so brazen!

Chen Fei walked to the door, grabbed a metal bat he hadn't touched in a long time, and crept up behind the black-clad figure.

"I'll hit you!"

Chen Fei shouted and swung the metal bat at the back of the black-clad figure's head!

Just as the bat was about to hit, it was caught by a powerful hand, which bent the metal bat out of shape.

Chen Fei's scalp tingled, and he stood there, stunned. At that moment, the black-clad figure slowly turned around, lifting the visor that covered his eyes, revealing a strong, handsome face.

Seeing this face, Chen Fei felt his mind go blank, as if he were in a surreal, delusional state. The man's face was strikingly similar to his own!

Chen Fei was completely confused. Could this be a long-lost half-brother? Did his father have such a scandalous past?

"Who... who are you?" Chen Fei asked, his face full of uncertainty.

The black-clad figure looked at Chen Fei, a meaningful smile on his lips, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Struggling to accept the idea of suddenly having a brother, Chen Fei was taken aback by the black-clad figure's unexpected response, a shocking one!

"Ha... My name is Chen Fei. I'm you, 12 years from now!"
