Chapter 1: Transmigrating

“Brother Qin asked you a question! What kind of death are you looking for?”

As soon as Qin Shiwu opened his eyes, a large mouthful of pool water came in through his mouth and nose, the hair on the back of his head was grabbed, pulling him out of the pond and flinging him to the ground.

Qin Shiwu rolled and lay down on the ground, thinking vaguely: Who would dare to hit me in Provincial No.
1 High School?

He remembered that he had a big fight with his parents in the student affairs office, and then flew out of the building*.

(* 飞檐走壁: idiom meaning to leap onto roofs and vault over walls (usually associated with martial arts.)

When he reached the wishing pond, he was unknowingly tripped over by a blind student and fell into the pond.

Fortunately, the water of the wishing pond was not deep, but his head was suddenly hit hard, and when he raised his head again, he heard someone swearing at him.

Strange.
Qin Shiwu’s position in Provincial No.
1 High School is indestructible and he is a well-deserved gang leader.
From juniors to seniors, who doesn’t retreat after hearing his name? Who dares to beat and scold him in school?

“Brother Qin, this boy is very insidious.
How about letting it go for today*?”

(* 要不然今天打一顿算了?: mtl translates this as ‘why don’t you beat him up today’ and other similar questions but 算了 means something like drop it or leave it at that, and according to the 2nd dialogue after this one, i decided to leave it as ‘drop it’ lol)

The voice came up in his ear again, and what fell with the voice was a fist hammered in his face.

Qin Shiwu was beaten in the head, and he heard another sentence: “What are you being arrogant for? Our Brother Qin is in charge of Provincial No.
1 High School, understand?

Yes, Brother Qin is in charge of Provincial No.
1 High School.

Qin Shiwu, whose face was black and blue, admitted dazedly.

He is the “Brother Qin” of Provincial No.1 High School, but who is this second “Brother Qin” bold dog who came out of nowhere?

Is the title “brother Qin” hereditary?

Dare to take advantage of his quarrel with his parents to make a sneak attack? It’s really fucking bad…

“Brother Qin, this kid seems to be an idiot.
Beating him is like beating cotton.
It’s no fun.”

Qin Shiwu lay down on the ground for a while, and after a sharp pain in his body, he suddenly sat up, ready to give a kick to the person behind him.

But when he sat up he first saw a teenager standing in front of him, about seventeen, tall, fair-skinned, refined features, sharp and beautiful, blue and white school uniform worn crookedly, sleeves pulled up to the wrists, layers piled up in many folds, zipper open, revealing the two skull broken sleeves inside, looking at him indifferently.

It seems that he is the Brother Qin.

When Qin Shiwu saw the teenager’s face, he paused in bewilderment, pinched his face and blurted out, “… Dad?”

The person beside the teenager also froze for a moment, turned his head and said, “Qin Chu, this kid has been beaten out of his brain?”

Hearing the name, Qin Shiwu froze in place… it’s really his dad’s name.

The teenager named Qin Chu, in theory, is Qin Shiwu’s father, with the exact same looks and temperament.

But from a scientific point of view, he is not Qin Shiwu’s dad.

His father is in his thirties this year, and the teenager in front of him, carved out of the same mold as his father, is clearly only seventeen years old.

Moreover, his father is currently furious in the student affairs office.
If he wants to beat him up, he would do so in the student affairs office.
How can he run to the pond? Not to mention there are people around him calling him “brother Qin”.　　

It is only logical to call Uncle Qin!

Qin Shiwu was confused.
He pinched his face first and gasped in pain.

Immediately afterwards, he confirmed in his heart: I’m not dreaming? Am I still dreaming? Does it hurt even if you’re dreaming?

“Fool.” Hu Si, the man beside Qin Chu, spat: “now you know to call dad.
Why were you arrogant just now?”

He turned his head, “Qin Chu, do you still want to fight?”

Qin Chu looked at Qin Shiwu and said condescendingly, “if there’s a next time, don’t come to school.”

These words were extremely arrogant, as if the school was owned by his family.

The appearance of this stinky fart also made Qin Shiwu feel particularly familiar.
After thinking about it, isn’t he just like this when he makes a show of authority at school?

Until after the two of them left, Qin Shiwu was still stunned in place and did not react.

He looked to the right and found that this was the school’s garbage disposal place, in the vegetable garden behind the playground.

Qin Shiwu had studied in Provincial No.
1 Junior High School for three years, and had just been promoted to senior high school.
The school had not changed.
He couldn’t be more familiar with this place.

Five minutes later, a melon head* student appeared in the vegetable garden.
He hurriedly ran over and shouted, “Qin Shiwu, are you okay?”

(* 瓜皮头: apparently this refers to bowl-cut-like hairstyles? look it up on google images and see for yourself lol)

Qin Shiwu was beaten black and blue.
He didn’t look okay at all.

Guapitou* just asked out of courtesy and didn’t care about Qin Shiwu’s wounds.

(*TN: Guapitou = melon head.)

The main purpose is to gossip.
Guapitou said: “I told you not to provoke He Yuanyuan.
Don’t you know the relationship between Qin Chu and her? An unmarried man and unmarried woman.
What is this? This is an ‘undisclosed couple’! You are rushing to harass people, aren’t you looking for death?”

Qin Shiwu returned to his senses, ignored Guapitou’s artificial nonsense, and pointed to himself: “my name is Qin Shiwu?”

Guapi measured his forehead: “You were beaten silly? You’re not blaming me for not coming to save you, how dare I save you? The school teachers turn a blind eye to Qin Chu.
If I save you, I can only be beaten with you.
It’s better for one person to die than two.”

Qin Shiwu swallowed and asked calmly, “What year is it now?”

Guapitou reported the current year, and thoughtfully said the month and date.
After that, he hesitated: “what’s the matter? Is your brain is really damaged by Qin Chu?”

… Fuck.

Sixteen years ago!

Qin Shiwu thought in horror: what’s going on?

He just had a fight with his parents.
How could he go sixteen years back in time?

Although Qin Shiwu usually read a lot of novels and watched a lot of TV dramas, he was always skeptical.
He never thought that he would win the jackpot one day and promptly transmigrate!

If it was really sixteen years ago, then that… that Qin Chu just now was really his father? When his father was young?

Qin Shiwu hurriedly asked, “Is this Provincial No.
1 High School?”
