rebirth against the times

For a long time after buying Hongwan Plaza, Bai Shuo always felt that his life was unreal. Every now and then, he would always run to Hongwan Plaza, find a place to sit quietly, and observe Hongwan Plaza.

Everything. Seeing the depressed appearance of Hongwan Plaza, I couldn't help but feel happy. Although I knew that some things couldn't be rushed, it was his first time to try such a huge investment, and he couldn't help but feel an unquenchable fear in his heart.

Even though the holiday at work was over long ago, he couldn't muster the desire to work. After three days of fishing and two days of netting, he worked for a few days. After discussing with Zhuzi, he decided to apply for a leave of absence without pay.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the group of homeless people. In the eyes of outsiders, he was really just a person who was idle and wandering around all day long. This state lasted until a person returned.

Cao An was always one of the most active among his best friends. On this day, Cao An came to Bai Shuo excitedly and said mysteriously: "Brother Geng, there is someone you definitely want to meet who wants to meet you. I have made an appointment with him at Luo Shihu.

Want to go to the bar?"

"Who is it? What I want to see the most right now is 'Grandpa Mao'. Nothing else can interest me." Bai Shuo asked lazily. What worried him the most at this time was the issue of money. After investing so much, Bai Shuo asked lazily.

Needless to say, the remaining money will slowly bottom out as time goes by, which makes me feel very uneasy.

"Let's go, I guarantee you will be happy." Cao An couldn't help but pulled Bai Shuo towards the bar with a beard. As soon as he entered the bar, Bai Shuo saw three people sitting side by side in the same place, with their backs to him.

, without looking at Bai Shuo's face, he knew it was Zhu Zhu and his two other best friends, Yao Tao and Wan Bo. Opposite the three of them, there was a person sitting across the table, but he was blocked by the three and could not see clearly.

"Hey, look who's here." Cao An shouted over there. The three people in Zhuzhu turned sideways and turned around, and the man sitting opposite him also poked his head out of the gap between the three sides. Bai Shuo saw it.

The man had long hair shawl, fine eyebrows and bright eyes, and exquisite makeup, which made him look bright. Bai Shuo walked slowly over and came to the front of the man.

"You're back?"

"You're here."

The two asked almost at the same time, and then smiled happily at each other. After the other party gave up a seat, Bai Shuo sat down side by side with her. This person was none other than Bai Shuo, the "Shuangshu of Bai Town" among the group of best friends.

One of the so-called twin sisters, Bai Shuo's crush since childhood - Xu Chan.

It turns out that Xu Chan came back this time to deal with some matters at home. Xu Chan has been without his father since he was a child. After going to Shanghai, he married a local rich second generation and took his mother over two years ago. But this

There is an old house next to it that has always been empty. Due to the urban construction needs of Baijia Town, this house needs to be demolished, so Xu Chan came back specially to deal with the formalities. Of course, he also took this opportunity to stay for a few days with friends.

Have a little get together.

In the past, if Bai Wanting was a gentle and charming talented woman, then Xu Chan was a heroine who enjoyed grudges. In the past, Xu Chan, Bai Shuo and others were very close. They smoked together, skipped classes, drank together, and sang karaoke.

Among young people, Xu Chan can be regarded as the eldest sister. At this moment, everyone is drinking coffee and milk tea, chatting about the past years. Although Bai Shuo and Xu Chan are sitting next to each other, it seems that they can never regain the same feeling as before.

Xu Chan is now a little less flamboyant and a little more calm. Even her clothes and speech and behavior are very different from before. She looks more and more like Bai Wanting. She drinks coffee and talks about the upper class people in Shanghai.

Something new. Although he still smokes, his behavior is less domineering and more elegant.

Bai Shuo felt that these changes were not bad, but he was no longer the same Xu Chan. However, in everyone's memories, Bai Shuo still regained some of his previous happiness. There was a math exam, Bai Shuo was fired for letting Cao An

However, the invigilator discovered that although the two of them were not cheating, they collected the papers that were not halfway completed in advance. If they failed the exam, both of them would have to be beaten up by their parents. As a result, that night Xu

Cicada led the two of them directly into the school and reached the teacher's building. Cao An couldn't get in because he was too fat, so Xu Chan climbed into the building alone and stole the two people's test papers from the teacher's office. Then he replaced them with

Someone stood guard and asked the two of them to write the correct answers on the test paper in the corner with a flashlight. After that, Xu Chan stuffed the two test papers back intact by himself, and led the two of them quietly.

Leave. As a result, Cao An got a score of 90 in mathematics that semester. For this reason, Cao An's father also rewarded Cao An with a new game console. That year, while playing games, Cao An said to Bai Shuo and Xu Chan: "I want to

If not, let’s do it again next time.”

Another time, a small contractor from out of town bullied them. Since they didn’t know the origin of the other party, everyone did not dare to take action rashly. Later, they found out that the small contractor liked to go to a large bar to drink, so Xu Chan insisted on it.

I went to that bar every day for a week to work as a beer princess. I finally managed to get close to the foreman, found out his details and daily habits, and provided some important information to everyone. Once, the foreman and his mistress

After the tryst, Bai Shuo, Cao An, Zhong Pengcheng, and Zhu Zhu blocked the door and gave her a good beating. The man did not dare to speak out because he was afraid that his mistress's affairs would be exposed, so he had to suffer the consequences. Soon after, he was in

Baijia Town disappeared.

When talking about these things, everyone was very happy, and Xu Chan seemed to have returned to his childhood, sometimes showing some of his past temperament. Cao An sighed: "Sister Chan, in fact, I have always thought that you would not join the CIA as a

What a pity for the beautiful agent."

Xu Chan laughed loudly: "You have watched too much TV. Female agents always end well. Isn't it bad that I am like this? Aren't you happy for me?"

Cao An giggled and scratched his head: "Of course, of course, as long as you are happy, we will be happy for you. Um, right? Chang Geng."

Bai Shuo had a dark look on his face and glared at Cao An. "You are happy with you. Why are you holding me back? Do you want you to tell me if I am happy?" Cao An also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and immediately

The topic started.

The next day, in order to welcome Xu Chan back to Baijia Town, Cao An organized a larger party. All his childhood best friends gathered in the most famous hotel in the town to see the goddess again. In a few years,

, Not to mention that Xu Chan's demeanor is even better than before, everyone has also changed a lot, but Xu Chan insisted on calling out names and nicknames one by one, which made everyone feel honored.

Just as everyone was rejoicing, suddenly two familiar figures entered the hotel and went directly to the simple dining table in the booth. "Hey, Bai Wanting!" Someone shouted immediately, and everyone looked over. Sure enough, it was Bai Wanting and her husband Liang Ying.

Bai Wanting also noticed the movement here, and looked at each other. She was slightly surprised when she saw that they were all her childhood playmates from Baijia Town, and there was also Xu Chan. In fact, although Bai Wanhao had

Money, but the business is getting bigger step by step. Bai Wanting was one of everyone's playmates in Baijia Town when she was a child. However, as the Baijia business grew bigger and bigger, Bai Wanting's studies became better and better, and everyone

The things she came into contact with became more and more different, and Bai Wanting finally drifted away from everyone.

"Sister Wanting, what a coincidence, are you two together? Why don't we sit down together?" Cao An suddenly said something, and everyone fell into silence. Cao An also immediately realized that this was inappropriate. In fact, what everyone was thinking

It’s all about Bai Wanting’s status now, so why would she sit and eat with these people? Who would have thought that Bai Wanting actually smiled happily: “Okay, we are worried that the dinner between the two of us will not be lively.”

So to everyone's surprise, Bai Wanting and Liang Ying walked directly to this side. Cao An immediately asked everyone to squeeze in and gave up two seats for Bai Wanting. Liang Ying naturally looked at Bai Shuo, and then

He sat down quietly with Wanting.

Liang Ying also knew most of the people. Although they didn't have much contact with each other, they didn't seem unfamiliar. After the food was served, everyone was chatting while eating the food. Someone suddenly sighed: "Today is really rare.

, I’m afraid our two sisters from Bai Town haven’t met each other for five or six years.”

This time, there is really no one to mention. In fact, although Xu Chan and Bai Wanting are called "Two Shus" by everyone, they have never been in love since they were young. Wanting thinks that Xu Chan is domineering, and Xu Chan thinks that she is overbearing.

Wanting's pretentiousness is actually just out of women's jealousy. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Although the two of them are sitting at the same table today, they are far away from each other and have never spoken to each other. This detail has always been noticed by everyone, but

It has never been broken.

At this time, the topic was brought up, and the two of them could no longer pretend to turn a blind eye. Bai Wanting first responded to this question: "Yes, since I was busy with my studies and later went to the UK to study, I have less time to meet you.

Less and less.”

Xu Chan immediately understood Bai Wanting's subtext. It was a satire that she had not been admitted to college and was only a high school student. She was not as smart as her. She was a talented person who had returned from overseas. Just as Bai Shuo and others were pinching Xu Chan's

Sweating, fearing that she would run away like before, Xu Chan smiled slightly and said, "That's right, since I met my current husband, I went to the Magic City and have hardly been back in these years, so naturally I can't

You can meet Wanting. Wanting has been smart since she was a child, and she has always been the best among us in her studies. But I say, this woman should be kinder to herself and not work so hard. The most important thing is to get married.

A good husband. Since I married my husband, I feel very happy. I have someone to take care of everything and consider me. It’s good to be a little woman, isn’t it?”

This time, it was everyone's turn to help Bai Wanting, and Bai Shuo glanced at Liang Ying awkwardly. Xu Chan's words clearly pointed to the fact that Bai Wanting married the "waste" Liang Ying, which has always been the case.

It is a taboo in the Bai Wanting family.

"Women should be more self-reliant. At least half of themselves should be raised up. Being a man's dependency would be too cheap." Wanting did not show weakness where she was stung, and responded even more harshly, directly saying that Xu Chan had lost her price.

Xu Chan no longer kept her good face, and sneered: "Just like a person knows when he drinks water, good may not be good, and bad may not be bad. Sister Bai is still so eloquent." Xu Chan called Bai Wanting's name before, but now she suddenly called out

Sister Bai clearly means that Bai Wanting is older than herself, and also implies that what Bai Wanting is showing off is not what she really wants.

Bai Wanting also had a cold face and no longer maintained her previous smile: "I can't bear to be called sister. I seem to be only two months older than you. But since you were a child, Cicada, you have seemed very mature, even when you are walking on the street now.

People will definitely think that you are my sister."

When Bai Shuo heard this, he was saying that Xu Chan looked older. He couldn't help but steal a few glances at Xu Chan, but after a comparison, he realized that Xu Chan really looked much more mature than Wanting in appearance.

At this time, Zhuzhu saw that if he allowed the two of them to continue talking like this, they might end up flipping the table and scolding them, so he raised his wine glass and interrupted the two of them: "Oh, we are busy talking, we can't stop drinking.

Let us all join together to wish our two goddesses more and more beauty, joy and happiness."

At Zhu Zhu's call, everyone immediately raised their glasses and responded positively. Bai Wanting and Xu Chan didn't know what to say, so they raised their glasses and drank with everyone. After that, the two stopped arguing and returned to a state of turning a blind eye.

They each chatted with the people around them, and everyone at the table carefully avoided certain things, and the atmosphere gradually became quite harmonious.

However, this atmosphere became tit for tat again at the end of the meal. When the waiter came in with the bill, Bai Wanting took the initiative to take out her credit card and said that she had not been with everyone for a long time, and this time she would treat. But Xu

Cicada also immediately took out her card and said that it was rare for her to come back from the magic city, so she would treat her to this meal today.

Seeing this, Bai Wanting said: "Cicada, don't argue. I spend my own money. I have financial freedom and don't need to answer to anyone."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Shuo and others secretly shouted: No, something will happen again. Sure enough, Xu Chan immediately responded: "What's my husband's is mine. It's good to have a good husband."

At this moment, Wanting suddenly held Liang Ying's arm intimately and said, "Well, it's good to have a good husband. My Liang Ying will accompany me wherever I go. Hey, Cicada, you are alone this time

You are back, your husband is not willing to let you run around alone like this?"

Xu Chan frowned slightly, glanced at Liang Ying, and said coldly: "My husband has a successful career and is busy every day. Naturally, he is not free enough to accompany me anytime and anywhere, but true love must pay attention to the substance.

, don’t be like some people who are as good as others.”

Liang Ying has a black hair. No matter what Wanting says, Xu Chan always seems to have only one destination, and that is herself. What she said just now clearly means that although she is not bad looking, she is just fake, so Liang Ying

So depressed.

"Well, yes, companionship is the longest confession of love. Spending more time with the person you love is the most important. Nowadays, some men pretend to be good to women, but are reluctant to spend more time for you. That's why

It's a real treasure. Cicada, you have to pay more attention."

Seeing that the two started arguing again, Cao An returned both their cards from the waiter and said: "Sisters, I organized today, so stop arguing. This meal must be mine."

."

At this time, Bai Shuo pretended to look at the time and said while Cao An was paying the bill: "Oh! We also booked a KTV private room for tonight. What time is it? Everyone, please hurry up, otherwise no one else will be able to stay.

"

Bai Wanting then said that she had something to do in the evening and would not go to the KTV with everyone. Just when Xu Chan was about to say something, Bai Shuo grabbed her and whispered in his ear: "Auntie, please stop talking.

Just a few words, tell me what you want to say and we will go sing later."

Seeing Bai Wanting saying goodbye to everyone and leaving with Liang Ying, Bai Shuo realized that he was still holding Xu Chan's hand tightly and had not let go.
