Chen Hao looked at the Fairy Sister in front of him, with her neat bangs and long, straight black hair—a brand new version he hadn't seen in his previous life.
Not only had he never seen her appearance, but her personality also felt a bit lively and unpredictable.
Was she flirting with me just now?
It's been a few years since we last met, and the Little Girl has really grown up, hasn't she? She's even using a honey trap?
“Xiao Baozi, what have you been up to lately?” Chen Hao shook his head, shaking off the romantic thoughts; he needed to maintain an elder's image in front of the Little Girl.
“I just don't know what to do. I’ve been playing for over half a year, just waiting for you, Uncle, to rescue me,” the Little Girl said, reaching up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, even though her hair wasn't messy.
She was indeed flirting with him, but Chen Hao was unaffected, focusing solely on swishing the beef in the hotpot.
Earlier, the Little Girl said he looked very green now, which was actually because he was very thin. Chen Hao had been a picky eater since childhood, so he was relatively thin until he graduated from university.
Later, after graduating from university, unwilling to be an extra, he relied on his handsome face to find a rich woman who supported him, and that's when he started working out. One good thing about working out was that it cured his picky eating habit; after eating fitness meals for a while, he felt that as long as there were carbs, everything was damn delicious.
In his thirties, due to his strong physique, it was indeed the peak of his attractiveness in his previous life. But he wasn't unattractive now; he was just a bit thin. He needed to eat more and quickly get his body back in shape; a strong body combined with a 20-year-old face would be even more handsome.
“Uncle, why did you suddenly regain your memory? I thought you had disappeared! I was sad for quite a long time.”
They hadn't seen each other for several years, and now, just a few casual words brought back their previous intimacy. The Little Girl immediately began asking the questions she cared about most.
Chen Hao's main occupation in his previous life was being a kept man, and his side job was a film review streamer on a short video platform.
Because Fairy Sister had a lot of traffic, he often reviewed Fairy Sister's works, but Fairy Sister's works, well, those who know, know.
Chen Hao, after all, also graduated from the Film Academy, so he still had some pride. His videos were usually over 10 minutes long, with the first half-minute praising Fairy Sister's face, and the next ten minutes or so filled with various complaints about her acting and her choice of films.
Because he liked to complain about Fairy Sister and had reviewed all her works, he was labeled as the head of Fairy Sister's anti-fans, attracting hundreds of thousands of followers.
Chen Hao didn't care; he was just trying to make a living. Some people liked watching him complain about Fairy Sister, and he was happy to cater to the traffic.
To gain followers, he planned a live commentary on the Fairy Sister's falling into water incident. As a result, while he was giving a live commentary in Jiuzhaigou, he accidentally slipped and fell into the water in the same way as Fairy Sister...
Perhaps Fairy Sister's fans were very resentful and wanted him to experience a real-life “You can do it, you go?”
It's also possible that the exact spot where he fell into the water coincided with Fairy Sister's falling spot, causing him to transmigrate from 2024 to 2004.
At that time, Fairy Sister was filming the return of the condor heroes, and she fell into the water and fainted. Then Chen Hao took advantage of the situation and transmigrated into Fairy Sister's body.
Fairy Sister was only unconscious, not dead, so the result was that the two of them fought over the body. Fairy Sister was the original, while Chen Hao was an outsider, so he usually couldn't win against Fairy Sister.
To gain more control over the body, Chen Hao gave Fairy Sister a spoiler about her future life. He also wrote songs for her, talked about future entertainment industry events, and so on.
The two went from initial confrontation to peaceful coexistence and got along quite well.
Later, after Fairy Sister finished filming the return of the condor heroes, she found an excuse to go to Chen Hao's hometown and tried to contact the 15-year-old Chen Hao in 2005. Then, the soul of the middle-aged Chen Hao from his previous life transferred into the current Chen Hao's body.
However, what Fairy Sister didn't expect was that as soon as this guy returned to his own body, he immediately forgot his memories from his previous life and what happened while he was in her body.
Actually, the souls of the middle-aged Chen Hao and the young Chen Hao shared the same origin, and they began to merge as soon as they met. This merging process took several years, during which occasional sporadic memories from his previous life would surface, but they were incomplete.
It wasn't until a few months ago, when the two souls fully merged, that he remembered everything, including his intermediate transfer into Fairy Sister's body.
Chen Hao originally wanted to pretend not to know her. After all, he hadn't seen this girl for several years, so he could just act as if the 'transfer' never happened.
But after thinking about it for a while, he still felt it wouldn't work.
This girl knew his secret of rebirth. If he remained unknown his whole life, he might be able to keep this secret.
But he didn't want to give up the cheat of rebirth; sooner or later, he would stand out. At that time, Fairy Sister would definitely notice something unusual and would still come looking for him, which would instead make their relationship distant.
That's why he called Fairy Sister a few days before the new student orientation, telling her that he was back.
Fairy Sister helped Chen Hao swish the beef while listening to him explain the process of soul fusion over the past few years.
But she wasn't too concerned about that; as long as Uncle was back, it was good. What she cared about more was how Uncle looked now.
He was clearly a handsome uncle, and suddenly he turned into a green junior. It was so hard to get used to.
Also, watching Chen Hao speak slowly and deliberately in a feigned mature manner, she always couldn't help but want to laugh.
This guy used to often feign profundity to trick her into letting him use her body. At that time, he looked like an uncle in his thirties, and she was only 17, so she didn't notice anything unusual.
But she was 22 now, and this guy was only 19, yet he was talking to her in the manner of an elder. It was too incongruous.
“So that's how it is. Do I still have to call you Uncle in the future? Won't others think we have some weird quirk?” The Little Girl's eyebrows danced with excitement. She had called him Uncle for over half a year and now wanted to get some advantage back in terms of address.
Chen Hao thought for a moment and said, “Privately, you can still call me Uncle. If there's someone else around, just call me by my name.”
“I’ll just call you Haozi. Calling you by a nickname feels more intimate,” the Little Girl decided, not caring whether Chen Hao agreed or not.
Regarding the nickname Haozi, she learned about it a few years ago when she first met Chen Hao, and it even caused a bit of news at the time.
However, several years had passed, and many media outlets had forgotten about it, but in a while, the two might often be together, and that incident from a few years ago would definitely be dug up again, which could be used to explain how they met.
“You can call me whatever you want, but I’ll still call you Xiao Baozi.” The Little Girl had her own mouth, and Chen Hao couldn't force her. But he was indeed a soul in his thirties, so he couldn't possibly call this Little Girl "senior." He just couldn't bring himself to say it.
Hmm, calling each other by nicknames, fair!
“How have you been these past few years?” Chen Hao finished, and it was the Little Girl's turn to speak.
After he regained his memory, he also searched online for news about this girl, knowing that she had signed with Sony Music and even went to Hollywood to film a movie, “wanted.” He also found it quite amazing.
However, online news isn't very reliable, and the specific inside story would only be truly accurate if she told it herself.
