Trapped in the Same Day

"Tick-tock, tick-tock!"

The crisp sound of an alarm clock echoed outward.

Zhang Yang sat up from the bed, his face full of resignation.

"It's like this again!"

Zhang Yang shook his head.

"Thud, thud!"

As soon as Zhang Yang finished tidying up, a knock on the door spread out.

A trace of a smile curled across Zhang Yang's face.

"How did you get so drunk coming back?"

Zhang Yang frowned, looking at the tall-figured woman outside the door.

This was Lin Xiaofei.

She was his wife's best friend, attending university in Linchuan, and therefore living at their house.

Lin Xiaofei's face flushed slightly, and she blinked as she looked at Zhang Yang.

"Zhang Yang, will you have another couple of drinks with me?"

"Drink? Haven't you had enough?"

Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of strangeness.

"Hehe, it's my first time drinking with you, what do you mean?" Lin Xiaofei had too much to drink, walking toward the inside of the room while swaying her body, speaking casually.

"First time drinking?"

A thought stirred in Zhang Yang's heart.

"You're going to break up with that bastard Lin Dongqiang, and half an hour from now, he'll be shouting downstairs."

Zhang Yang spoke expressionlessly.

This scene before him was the first time drinking for Lin Xiaofei.

But for Zhang Yang, it was already the ten-thousandth time drinking.

He remembered clearly even what Lin Xiaofei's next action would be.

"Are you prophetic then? Then guess."

Lin Xiaofei let out a hiccup, but the smell of the alcohol was very light, faintly carrying a slight fragrance within it.

"What color am I wearing?"

A smile carried across Lin Xiaofei's pretty face as she placed a hand on Zhang Yang's shoulder and asked with a frown.

"That..."

Zhang Yang, however, froze.

His eyes revealed a faint playfulness.

"Purple."

"You..."

Lin Xiaofei was stunned, and her drunkenness instantly sobered up by more than half.

Could this fellow have peeked at her?

What she wore today were hot pants, and though she was drunk, she was drunk.

Her mind was very clear, though.

There was simply no way this fellow could have seen it!

"This doesn't count. We live together, who knows when you peeked?"

Lin Xiaofei waved her hand again, a pair of phoenix eyes carrying a faint suspicion.

"Oh, then that mole on your thigh, you remember it, right?"

Zhang Yang shook his head instead, sighing inwardly.

This kind of conversation, he and the woman before him, had already repeated countless times.

"You!"

Lin Xiaofei was stunned once more, her pretty face full of bewilderment.

The location of that mole was so concealed.

Even she herself had only noticed it inadvertently; how could this fellow possibly know?

"Hey!"

Zhang Yang sighed softly, his gaze growing slightly dim.

"You... you wouldn't be perverted enough to peek at me sleeping, would you?"

Lin Xiaofei blinked, still carrying a three-tenths intoxication.

"No."

Zhang Yang's gaze flickered.

Clearly, every single time, she took the initiative herself; where would he ever need to slack off?

"Then... how did you know?"

As she spoke, Lin Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.

"I know everything."

Zhang Yang looked calm on the surface, but his heart was drumming.

Damn it.

I've already slept with you nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times.

Fortunately, time is constantly repeating in a samsara.

Otherwise, it really would be hard to deal with.

"You just love to brag. If you're so amazing, does my sister know?"

As she spoke, a trace of tear stains appeared on Lin Xiaofei's pretty face.

That man had been together with her for a year, and he was indeed her preferred type.

Yet every time, he beat around the bush, trying to get her to surrender her body.

If not for being able to stay in Linchuan for work, how could she have stooped so low?

Thinking of spending the next few decades suffering all kinds of grievances in front of such a man, the tears on Lin Xiaofei's pretty face fell like a broken string of beads.

"Alright, that fellow is nothing much. I've got this! You go inside and rest."

Zhang Yang shook his head.

Thump, thump!

The knocking on the door sounded again. Lin Xiaofei, however, shook her head slightly and reached out to grab Zhang Yang's arm.

"You—don't leave, don't leave..."

Zhang Yang let out a soft sigh, but still shook off Lin Xiaofei's arm and went to open the door.

"Zhang Yang? Where is Xiao Fei?"

Outside the door, Lin Dongqiang wore a sneer.

Before knocking, he had already stood outside the door for half a day.

This Lin Xiaofei was unwilling to sleep with him, yet she was all over this useless piece of trash?

Did she really take him for a fool?

"Lin Dongqiang, Xiao Fei has already broken up with you. Don't pester her anymore from now on, or I'll make you pay. Now, get lost right this second."

Zhang Yang raised his brows, his eyes filled with aloof coldness.

He had stayed on this exact same day for so long now; what was there to be afraid of?

Anyway, no matter what he did today, time would reset tomorrow.

"Oh?"

"Since when did a trash like you get so much backbone?"

"You and this bitch couldn't actually be having an affair, could you?" Lin Dongqiang chuckled, his eyes full of playfulness.

"You think you're pretty badass, huh? Since when do you get to manage my business?"

Zhang Yang's expression darkened completely.

"I'm telling you, the Lin Family mansion is on the verge of collapse. Within three hours, it's going to be finished. Do you believe it?"

The playful look on Zhang Yang's face grew stronger.

As he spoke, he stepped forward, completely blocking Lin Dongqiang outside the door.

"Haha, Zhang Yang, did you fucking drink alone at home?"

"Don't just drink—are you too poor to afford food?"

Lin Dongqiang shook his head and sneered. As the dignified young master of the Lin Family, his word was always law; yet a waste of a man like the one before him actually dared to talk to him like this.

Was he courting death?

"Make Lin Xiaofei come out and see me right now, or else I'll fucking finish you two off tonight." Lin Dongqiang frowned, his eyes filled with playful mockery.

The Lin Family was a wealthy tycoon family in Linzhou.

The mansion on the verge of collapse, finished in three hours?

What a joke?

"Fine, today I'll let you know what a gap really is. The Lin Family is about to finish? Even if it's finishing, I'm going to finish you off first!" Throwing down those words, Lin Dongqiang strode away.

Zhang Yang watched the back of Lin Dongqiang, amusement showing in his eyes.

He and his wife had fallen in love freely, but because his mother-in-law was overbearing and Zhang Yang usually seemed weak, he had ended up marrying into the Cheng family as a matrilocal husband. He had been trapped in this exact same day for a full thousand years!

After becoming a live-in son-in-law, although Zhang Yang endured all sorts of cold stares and disdain, his wife, Cheng Dongxue, had always treated him fairly well.

Originally, Zhang Yang thought his life in the future would simply be a routine, three-point-line existence, living out this utterly ordinary life.

However, ever since that day, Zhang Yang discovered something.

No matter what he did the day before.

As long as he woke up at eight o'clock the next morning, everything would reset.

At first, Zhang Yang even tried using all kinds of different methods to break through the restriction.

Gradually, though, Zhang Yang gave up.

To pass the boring time, Zhang Yang had inquired about a lot of news regarding these major families, and this matter concerning the Lin Family was an absolute certainty.

Furthermore, he had mastered far more than just the secrets of many prominent families.

Even during this span of a thousand years, making use of his ample time, he had conversed with Martial Arts grandmasters, chatted with renowned medical experts, and had a certain degree of contact with the top existences across every single industry.

Although these big shots did not remember Zhang Yang at all.

Yet Zhang Yang had acquired a massive amount of valuable experience from them.

He had even studied with them for very long periods of time.

A full thousand years!

For the most part of the first fifty years, Zhang Yang was infatuated with Martial Dao, and finally, in the fiftieth year, he ascended to the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

During the next fifty years, Zhang Yang indulged his passion for Medicine, and using those fifty years, he attained extremely high accomplishments in Medicine.

By the time the second century arrived.

Zhang Yang already felt that ordinary things could no longer spark any interest in him.

Instead, he began delving into Daoist arts, physiognomy, and feng shui, and for a full hundred years, Zhang Yang also made substantial progress in these areas.

Later on, Zhang Yang spent another hundred years learning the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Throughout this millennium, Zhang Yang had basically learned just about everything that could be learned.

Because he had plenty of time and was far more focused than ordinary people.

Thus, his attainments in every aspect were extremely high!

This was the source of Zhang Yang's confidence!

"Zhang Yang, why are you being so foolish?"

"He is a member of the Lin Family, and the Lin Family is not someone we can afford to offend." Having experienced this ordeal, Lin Xiaofei was already more than half-sober.

Her gaze toward Zhang Yang also held a slight change.

She used to think that this best friend's husband was completely useless.

Yet she never expected that he would actually offend the young master of the Lin Family for her sake.

"Zhang Yang, you should hurry up and leave, shouldn't you? What kind of person this Lin Dongqiang is, I know very well—he will definitely not let you off easily." With a worried expression on her face, Lin Xiaofei walked over to Zhang Yang's side and urged him in a low voice.

"Leave?"

Zhang Yang shook his head slightly.

He really did not know how to explain this matter.

Anyway, once the time reset tomorrow morning, these Lin Family members would not have any chance to come looking for trouble with him at all.

"I'm not leaving. If I leave, what will happen to you and Dongxue?"

Zhang Yang frowned and spoke with helpless resignation.

He could not bluntly say that Lin Dongqiang would not get the chance, so he had to substitute another explanation.

"You!"

Lin Xiaofei instantly froze.

Her eyes were filled with a stunned expression.

Originally, in her own eyes, this useless man actually knew how to worry about her?

"Zhang Yang, aren't you afraid they'll come looking for trouble with you?"

"Not afraid!"

Zhang Yang spoke righteously, yet he could not help feeling a pang of guilt in his heart.

If time did not reset, Zhang Yang would never dare to offend a major family like the Lin Family.

"You're saying time will reset? Is that true?"

Lin Xiaofei blinked her eyes, her gaze filled with astonishment.

Zhang Yang's demeanor was simply too composed, causing doubt to inevitably begin sprouting in her heart.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Yang smiled, a hint of playfulness carrying in his eyes.

"Then will you keep me company and have a couple of drinks?"

"Why do we still need to drink?"

Zhang Yang was stunned, his eyes filled with helplessness.

"Won't time reset? Since time is going to reset, do you dare to sleep with me?" Lin Xiaofei narrowed her eyes. Because she had been drinking, her complexion was flushed red, and her gaze carried a trace of intoxication, making her look extremely alluring indeed.

Taking this scene in before his eyes, Zhang Yang could not help his heart swaying.

"I—"

Zhang Yang was still hesitating, but those tender, vibrant red lips had already met his.
