Insufficient balance

  "Is it a dream? My head hurts..."

  It was a hospital room filled with the smell of disinfectant, and in it, there was also a faintly visible nurse, who at this moment was slightly bowing her head. A series of movements showcased her slender and elegant curves. Looking at the two round and plump buttocks swaying under his eyelids, Ye Jun subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch them, muttering that it was just a dream that would dissipate at dawn.

  "Don't move!"

  A sudden voice of restraint came from beside his ear, and Ye Jun instinctively lowered his hand, a sense of embarrassment rising in his heart as if he had been caught doing something shameful.

  At this time, a female doctor walked towards him, with towering breasts, long and slender legs, paired with a crisp white uniform on her body, having both dignified sanctity and a hint of devilish fatal temptation.

  It's her!

  Ye Jun's mind flashed back to a segment of memories that had long been sealed, it was this woman, it was this stunning face that made him fall and sink for the rest of his life. All because this important woman to him unfortunately died in a car accident that couldn't be told whether it was an accident or intentional.

  Ye Jun clearly remembered that in his 19th year, a series of misfortunes befell him. First, his father, who held a high position, died suddenly, causing the Ye family's originally unshakeable political status to collapse. Although his uncle and other relatives didn't abandon him, they distanced themselves from the Ye family at the first opportunity, choosing to protect their own interests. Next, Huayang Group, which his mother had founded, was infiltrated by industrial spies, resulting in a huge financial hole that couldn't be filled. Those so-called business partners not only lost their former understanding and reason but also began buying up shares of Huayang Group's stock, nearly causing the company to plummet to a halt and even threatening to take over the chairman position!

  Facing this predicament, Ye Jun, who was still conquering university courses, immediately made the decision to drop out of school and take over the business from his frail mother. He managed to turn the tide and successfully rescued the Huayang Group from the brink of collapse. Many industry insiders were generous with their praise, after all, when everyone had given up on this company, Ye Jun was still able to complete the three key steps of restructuring, reforming, and financing in a short period of time, pulling the Huayang Group back from the edge of death. This was truly remarkable, especially considering that Ye Jun was only 20 years old at the time!

  However, these capitalists apparently did not know that Ye Jun's exposure of such a shocking and astonishing business talent was entirely due to an accidental acquisition of a watch during his university days.

  Even with this magical watch, it can't change the fact that his mother was overly anxious and left him, nor can it change the scene of his beloved girlfriend's tragic death in front of him. After that, Ye Jun seemed to hate everyone in the world as if they owed him something. He spent every night singing and dancing, indulging in wine and women, numbing himself with pleasure, until he finally died from excessive drinking in a luxurious brothel filled with gold and beauty.

  As a string of memories flooded his mind, Ye Jun discovered that the woman in front of him was actually his long-dead lover. He trembled as he raised his hand, hardly able to believe it: "Guoyun?"

  This woman, who hovered between angel and devil, subconsciously revealed a hint of displeasure, but still politely said: "Hello, please call me Dr. Chen."

  "Dr. Chen..."

  Ye Jun muttered to himself, unaware that a layer of sourness had welled up in his eyes. He began to stretch out his hand towards his thigh, gritted his teeth and pinched it hard. The pain transmitted from his thigh was both real and clear. For a moment, he was both shocked and delighted, and exclaimed: "Dr. Chen, where is this?"

  "Of course it's the hospital! Strange, I heard you're a candidate this year, how can you walk on the main road and get hit by bricks?" A nurse beside him suddenly turned around, Ye Jun couldn't help but brighten his eyes, because this nurse was also an acquaintance of his, and even his matchmaker. If it weren't for this beautiful nurse named Qin Rou secretly matchmaking, he might not have been able to get close to Chen Guoyan, who had always adhered to the principle of "men are not allowed".

  Brick? Candidate?

  Ye Jun was stunned for a moment, and he didn't care about the headache coming from his head. He tried to get up, and at the same time, his eyes seemed to be searching for something.

  "Don't look anymore, the college entrance exam has already ended. You've been unconscious for three days and three nights." Qin Rou said with a smile.

  Ye Jun heard this and was greatly shocked, subconsciously saying: "What year and month is it now?"

  "You're not hit by a brick, are you?"

  Qin Rou heard the words and laughed, after all, Chen Guo Yun had repeatedly checked Ye Jun's brain and determined that everything inside was normal. However, seeing Ye Jun's anxious expression, she explained: "It is currently June 11th, 1996."

  In 1996?

  Ye Jun heard the words, and before he could think clearly, he suddenly saw a man and a woman standing in front of the door. In this instant, Ye Jun's eyes became moist, because these were his biological parents who had left him one after another.

  Ye Jun really hoped that this was not a dream that would end in vain, he could clearly feel the real existence of his father Ye Yangsheng and mother Dong Suning, listening to his mother's meticulous care and comfort, as well as his father's occasional nagging and teachings. In the past, Ye Jun would only hum impatiently, but today, he surprisingly listened with an open mind, which made Dong Suning overjoyed, constantly praising Ye Jun for growing up sensible.

  "You kid, you just said you understood, how did you expose your fox tail so quickly? Don't disturb Dr. Chen's work, got it?"

  Two days passed, and Ye Jun's body got better and better. He also clearly knew that he was not sleeping in a sweet dream, but had returned to that gray and white heart-wrenching past. This time, he vowed that he would never let tragedy befall him again, nor could he allow the various regrets of the past to continue to entangle his mind.

  "It's all right, Auntie."

  When facing Ye Jun's occasional excuses to get close, this behavior that should be blamed on sexual harassment in Chen Guoyan's eyes has always been ruthless. However, considering that Ye Jun is a patient and has not made any overly improper moves, plus Dong Suning is by his side, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he will tolerate it and endure it silently.

  Today is the day Ye Jun is discharged from the hospital. Seeing her son's energetic appearance, as a mother, Dong Suning couldn't bear to let Ye Jun continue to suffer in the hospital. After all, there was no air conditioning in the ward, and instead, it emitted a strong smell of disinfectant. In this June weather, it was completely a kind of torture.

  When handling the discharge procedures, Ye Jun had been 'disturbing' Chen Guoyan from time to time. Dong Suning, who doted on her son, would not have guessed through Ye Jun's intentions, but she turned a blind eye, after all, she was eager for her son to get married and have children. She was quite satisfied with Chen Guoyan's cleverness and competence, of course, the most important thing was that she appreciated Chen Guoyan's virtuous and gentle nature, this kind of daughter-in-law who can be both elegant in the hall and diligent in the kitchen is not easy to find, since her precious son liked her, as a mother, how could she interfere?

  However, Chen Guoyun's growing impatience was noticed by Dong Suning, who was good at observing people's expressions. She stepped forward to stop Ye Jun's nonsense and avoid going too far, while lowering her voice to say: "Tonight, your dad invited Uncle Guo to come home for dinner to celebrate your discharge from the hospital, and it seems that Xiaoyu will also be coming."

  Guo Xiaoyu?

  Ye Jun heard this and finally suppressed his entangled thoughts about Chen Guoyan. Although Ye Jun was also clear that he and Chen Guoyan were now just slightly more familiar strangers than fleeting passersby, he still couldn't hold back the unusual feeling in his heart. After all, even if it was just a past life, Ye Jun's relationship with Chen Guoyan had been one of husband and wife in bed, lovers under the covers, their understanding of each other not limited to physical intimacy, but also extending to mental connection, as if they shared a spiritual bond.

  The Ye family and the Guo family have always had a very good relationship. Speaking of Ye Yangsheng and Guo Haisheng, they are iron buddies who have been playing together since childhood. In their words, when they are together, or even just sitting around, they know what each other is thinking. However, the two also have differences. For example, after entering society, one chose to enter politics, while the other chose to do business. But different careers and aspirations did not hinder the brotherly affection between them. Since Ye Yangsheng was appointed as the vice mayor of Guangnan City, Guo Haisheng moved his family to Guangnan City, and the two families often gathered together, enjoying each other's company.

  As for Guo Xiaoyu, the impression is that she was a shy and kind beautiful girl. Unfortunately, that disaster not only took away Ye Yangsheng but also took away Guo Haisheng. Ye Jun knew very well at the time that if Guo Haisheng had not insisted on rescuing Ye Yangsheng, he would not have died, and Guo Xiaoyu would not have lost her father. In the end, both Ye Jun and Guo Xiaoyu were pitiful children. So, after Ye Jun took over the Huayang Group in his previous life, he especially took care of the orphaned mother and child of the Guo family.

  Reluctantly leaving the Guangnan City People's Hospital, Ye Jun sat in the private car and glanced through the rearview mirror to find that Dong Suning, who was driving, didn't have his attention on him. Without changing his expression, he stroked the watch on his wrist, which seemed ordinary and even cheap, like a two-dollar watch from a street stall. But Ye Jun knew that this was a divine watch that could bring him glory and wealth!

  "Ding Dong, Start!"

  “5…”

  “4…”

  “3…”

  “2…”

  “1…”

  "Program started, fingerprint recognition in progress."

  "Fingerprint recognition successful, proceeding with iris recognition."

  "Iris recognition successful, Mr. Ye, congratulations on successfully passing through the time tunnel."

  Time tunnel? Ye Jun was shocked, could it be that this unexpected return to 17 years old was the doing of this mysterious watch?

  "Can some abilities be activated now?"

  Although there was still Dong Suning in the car, Ye Jun's communication with the watch was completely mental transmission, which outsiders couldn't hear. At first, when communicating with this divine watch, Ye Jun thought he had encountered a lingering ghost, and even suspected that he had gone mad. However, after gaining great benefits, Ye Jun became more and more convinced.

  "Mr. Ye, sorry, due to passing through the time tunnel, all data has been damaged, and only the original data can be initialized!"

  "What? How long will it take to recover?"

  "Sorry! Mr. Ye, your authority is not enough, you are not allowed to access this information!"

  "My god!"

  Ye Jun was taken aback by the words and subconsciously muttered a sentence, which made Dong Suning, who was sitting in the driver's seat, extremely puzzled: "Xiao Jun, what's wrong with you?"

  "It's nothing, just thinking that this unexpected disaster ruined my college entrance exam makes me a bit annoyed." Ye Jun heard and quickly found an excuse to gloss over it.

  "I've discussed it with your dad, and we hope you can retake the exam next year. After all, this time your total score in the college entrance examination is not ideal. Even if your dad has great connections, he won't be able to arrange for you to get into university."

  "We'll talk about this later, I need some time to calm down."

  Dong Suning sighed secretly, thinking that Ye Jun did not want to retake the exam or had some resentment towards it. However, in recent years, college entrance examination scores have become increasingly transparent, and even if Ye Yang became the vice mayor of Guangnan City, he couldn't irregularly control a duck egg's file. But Ye Jun didn't take the re-examination seriously at all, his mind was all tangled up with this mysterious watch that would drag him down at this critical moment, and he was at a loss for what to do.

  "When can some of this data be restored?"

  "Sorry! Mr. Ye, your authority is not enough, you are not allowed to access this information!"

  "How can I upgrade my permissions?"

  "Sorry! Mr. Ye, your authority is not enough, you are not allowed to access this information!"

  "What permissions are required to view this information?"

  "Sorry! Mr. Ye, your authority is not enough, you are unable to access this information!"

  …

  "What the heck! What can that old man actually do?"

  Ye Jun asked a dozen questions in a row, all of which were rejected in a formulaic tone, leaving him frustrated for a while. However, instead of continuing to hear those repetitive rejections, after a long time, a message suddenly appeared in his mind: "Mr. Ye, the system is still under repair and temporarily pushes out the character talent system. You can get some talent points every month. Since you are the first customer to try this system, the system will give you an extra talent point as a gift."
