You girls should hurry inside. Text me on WeChat when you get there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng gently ran his fingers through Tan Hua’s dark, silky hair, feeling a pang of reluctance himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. Then you have to miss me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was low, clearly still heavy with the emotion of their parting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. How could I not think about a girlfriend as beautiful as you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng wrapped his arm around Tan Hua’s slender waist, and seeing the envious stares from passing men, he couldn’t have felt more pleased with himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Having a top-tier girlfriend was a massive status boost.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... see you in Chengdu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua rose onto her tiptoes and pressed a faint, red lip print onto Qi Sheng’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Tan Hua turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If she stayed even a moment longer, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to leave.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng smiled, touching the faint, lingering warmth on his face as he watched them disappear from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the car, Qi Sheng didn’t rush to start the engine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he opened WeChat and sent a message to Tan Hua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng: \"Have a safe trip.

He first went to Jianshe Road for a bowl of Malanhua hand-pulled noodles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after filling his stomach did he leisurely drive home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Sunshine Garden District.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was located in a desirable school district, with everything from elementary to high schools nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they bought it back in ’11, it was only 1,900 yuan per square meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the price had risen to around 6,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Qi City was just a fourth-tier city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residential complex was mid-range, so not many people bothered to buy a designated parking spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone just parked outdoors, relying purely on luck to grab a spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this hour, it was impossible to find parking near his building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng drove around for a bit longer before finding an empty spot two buildings over and expertly backing the car into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sandwiched between BYDs, Accords, and Toyotas,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His A8 looked completely out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A million-yuan luxury car had no business being in a mid-range complex like this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The cost of a single scratch would be heartbreaking.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Building 37, Unit 4, Apartment 301.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he reached his front door, Qi Sheng strangely felt a little nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Rebirth... you wouldn’t get it unless you’d been through it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the keys out of the backpack he was carrying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After opening the door, Qi Sheng saw the apartment was pitch-black. His parents were clearly already asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng casually flipped on the living room light and changed his shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he get a close look at this apartment they had lived in for almost ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his rebirth, his family had long since moved away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This apartment had been sold, becoming a distant, sealed-off memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A two-bedroom, one-living-room place, only 72 square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank goodness it was a walk-up, or the usable space would have been pitifully small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise Qi Sheng made woke his mother, who was a light sleeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min looked at her son, a bit stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, just got home. Is Dad asleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng smiled and nodded. He knew why his mom was staring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t just lost ten jin; his looks had completely transformed. It would be a miracle if she wasn’t surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the changes were mostly that his skin had cleared up and brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His acne scars and blemishes were gone, but his features were still the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He went drinking with his old classmates today, so he’s sleeping like a log. How was your trip?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min poured Qi Sheng a glass of water and asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was great. I bought you and Dad two new phones. Let me set yours up first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng took a tightly sealed Huawei Mate RS out of his backpack; it was the vibrant red one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Huawei phone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min quickly waved her hand. \"I don’t need such a nice phone. You should use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, don’t worry, I bought one for myself and one for Dad, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng smiled and showed her his own phone, then continued to tear off the plastic film and unbox it to help his mom switch her SIM card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I downloaded some common apps for you, and I also transferred your WeChat and contacts over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bustling about for ten minutes or so, Qi Sheng finally had it all set up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his mom admiringly turn the new phone over in her hands, unable to put it down, Qi Sheng couldn’t help but break into a warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his last life, he had been completely ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t even bring himself to buy his mom a new Vivo phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this life, he was determined to let his mom and dad experience the joy of having a son who could spoil them rotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, the camera on this phone is so clear, and the screen is so sharp. It must have been very expensive, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After playing with the phone for a bit, Zhu Min sensed something wasn’t right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she had never used a high-end phone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she knew that even the iPhones her friends used didn’t feel as premium as this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not too expensive, only 12,999 yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng just smiled, seeing no reason to hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone in the know would recognize the price of a phone like this at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>",1464,"2026-06-03T03:29:35.555Z","2026-06-03T03:29:39.083Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e0560ba93024196c06f6cea078949d27236f94a6094a7648b85f85fe7edaee3","tycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-chapter-13","tycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-chapter-11",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-cover.jpg"]
