Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

After dinner, Xu Xing ran to the study next door, where he and Xu Niannian played online games and peeked at external information together.

Then Xu Niannian called him a pervert.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, after taking a shower and lying on his bed, Xu Xing yawned and took out his mobile phone, and logged on to QQ to take a look.

I found out that there was news from Li Zhibin.

[A Bin]: I can’t sleep. Can you chat with me?

[Yicao Yanyu]: Have you arrived at school?

【Abin】: No, I won’t report to Beijing University until tomorrow. I’m staying in a hotel now.

[Yifanyanyu]: Hotel? You and Hu Hualin?

[A Bin]: Damn! What are you thinking? Mom, please follow me! I have a room by myself!

【一蓓雨】: It’s boring.

[A Bin]: Can we talk about something serious?

[Yicao Yanyu]: What else can we talk about? Are you going to buy sanitary napkins before military training?

【Abin】:???

[Yifengyanyu]: Remember to wear sunscreen and foot pads, otherwise you will suffer.

【Abin】: Why do you feel so understanding?

[Yicai Yanyu]: My sister is a college student. Are you joking with me?

[Abin]: Do you have any other suggestions?

[Yicao Yanyu]: Yes, and it can last you a lifetime.

【Abin】:What?

【一蓓雨】:Don’t accept women who take the initiative to approach you.

[A Bin]: Stop talking, you are just trying to trick me in different ways!

Xu Xing curled his lips, turned over and lay on his side, opened QQ space, and saw what Wang Jiaxin had just posted.

[Wang Jiaxin]: In life, you must always have expectations for surprises, so that you can live up to your experience in this world. Whenever I feel lost and lonely, I look back and you can always be my surprise.

Below are three pictures, one is a selfie of the hand, the other is a selfie with half of the face covered, and then a beautiful picture showing the reflection of a person on the ground.

Xu Xing: "..."

The technique of making this dynamic is so perfect that even Xu Xing is not sure whether this guy has set "Only Xu Xing is visible", or "Only Fish Pond No. 1 is visible" or something like that.

After thinking about it, Xu Xing continued to pull down instead of making him feel disgusted.

Many students who also started school in mid-August have posted updates, and even the boring Li Zhibin didn't forget to post.

[A Bin]: College, work hard! (Fist fist fist)

It's really simple.

However, there are also many people who have not started school yet and have to wait until September or even October, so they will post something like "I'm so envious" or "Hahaha I can still spend another month" in QQ space.

And just when Xu Xing was admiring and savoring his youth, someone sent another message.

[Nian Nian]: Are you nervous about reporting in tomorrow?

[Nian Nian]: If you are too nervous, I can still reluctantly take you to report.

[Yicao Yanyu]: You can just rest, I don’t need you.

[Nian Nian]: Minda is quite big inside! Be careful not to get lost alone.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Don’t worry, as a handsome guy like me, when I walk in school, the beautiful seniors will take the initiative to guide me.

[Nian Nian]: You can pull me down! Look how beautiful you are.

[Yicao Yanyu]: When will you start school?

[Nian Nian]: Probably at the end of the month, I remember it was two days before your opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony for Xu Xing and the others is on September 1st. It seems that if you want to see Xu Niannian at school, you will have to wait until two weeks later.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Then don’t miss me. Don’t be tempted to come to school to bring me drinks.

[Nian Nian]: What the hell is that? You don’t want me to ask my sister to give you drinks during military training, and then help you look good in the class, right?

[Yicao Yanyu]: It’s not impossible for you to say so.

[Nian Nian]: Go away, it’s a beautiful idea.

[Yicai Yanyu]: Then I will go find Senior Sister Yu, she will definitely be happy.

[Nian Nian]: You can save it. She will be busy after school starts. There are a lot of things waiting for her at the Student Affairs Center.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Why do I feel that you are so idle? Why is Senior Yu so busy?

[Nian Nian]: In my sophomore year, I quit all the departments and clubs. It was a complete waste of time.

[Nian Nian]: Sister Yu, you are in the work-study department of the Student Affairs Center. The atmosphere there is probably better, and they help poor students arrange part-time jobs on campus.

[Yicao Yanyu]: With such a comparison, it’s natural that you don’t have a boyfriend.

[Nian Nian]: I was just trying to keep myself clean! Otherwise, with your sister’s beauty, wouldn’t she have a different boyfriend every day?

[Yi Li Yanyu]: With your brother’s appearance, is there any chance to change one in a day when you go to Mingda? It’s not bad to change one in a week.

[Nian Nian]: You can try and see if I can chop you up.

Okay, this was a bit dangerous, so Xu Xing ended the topic decisively.

Just as Yan Chijiu received the news, Xu Xing directly moved the battlefield, leaving Xu Niannian to dry out for the time being.

[Vinegar]: Boss, when should we set off tomorrow? Morning or afternoon?

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Let's go in the afternoon. There's no need to be in a hurry. There's nothing to do there in the morning.

[Vinegar]: Then will you come over tomorrow morning?

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Come on, type more code before school starts, and it will be easier after school starts.

[Vinegar]: Uh-huh!

[Yi Li Yan Yu]: Remember to pack your luggage in advance at night so as not to leave anything behind.

[Vinegar]: It has been packed and ready to go at any time.

[Yicao Yanyu]: Okay, go to bed early and don’t work overtime secretly.

In the private room of the Internet cafe, Yan Chijuan was squatting on a chair and watching QQ. After seeing this message from Xu Xing, he suddenly felt guilty and blushed. He had the illusion that he was suddenly caught doing something bad.

【Vinegar】: I'm not working overtime... I've already taken a shower and am lying on the bed.

[Yi Liao Yanyu]: Oh, yes, you can bring bed sheets, quilt covers, etc. Although the school will also have them, it will be cleaner to use your own.

[Vinegar]: Okay, I understand.

After the two of them chatted, Yan Chijiu continued to type his own code.

Xu Niannian was urging him to reply.

[Nian Nian]: You won’t fall asleep, will you?

【Nian Nian】: Come back to me as soon as possible if you are not dead.

[Nian Nian]: Do you want me to take you there tomorrow?

[Yicao Yanyu]: You said you don’t want it, so you really want to give it to me?

[Nian Nian]: You think too much, it’s just a sister’s concern for her brother.

[Nian Nian]: If you don’t want to give it away, you won’t give it away. No one cares about it.

Xu Xing also hoped that Xu Niannian would get the art resources early, so why would she waste time on such a trip?

It's better to let her stay at home.

After all, he promised to report with Yan Chijuan. How to deal with multiple Xu Niannian?

If Yan Chijiu accidentally exposed the existence of the studio, Xu Xing was worried that he would report to the Prince of Hell instead of the university.

However, Xu Xing doesn't plan to keep it secret for too long. After the domestic version of Fruit Assassin is officially launched, it will almost be time for a showdown with Xu Niannian.

After all, by that time, the game will be finished, and the art resources of Fruit Assassin have been integrated, so there is no need to rely on Xu Niannian's supply of art resources.

By then, if Xu Niannian is willing to stay, of course everyone will be happy.

If you cannot accept such an outstanding younger brother for a while, choosing to leave will not affect the studio's subsequent game development.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing sighed immediately.

All said and done, it was all caused by lack of money.

If he had money, he wouldn't have to think of ways to get Xu Niannian to take the bait. After all, it would be too difficult to find a reliable artist for 1,500 yuan.

Xu Niannian still uses it easily.

I am a novice, but my skills are high. I am still new to the workplace and it is best to train me. In order to complete the task, I have to work overtime without telling my boss.

It's really hard to find good employees even if you're looking for a lantern.

If the Fruit Assassin project had lost two dear employees, Yan Chijuan and Xu Niannian, Xu Xing would probably still be typing the code and searching for various pirated art resources on the Internet.

I will never create a work with such exquisite graphics and smooth operation.

[Yicao Yanyu]: Anyway, thank you sister.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: It's getting late, I'll go to bed first.

[Nian Nian]: Why did you suddenly start fanning???

[Niannian]: Hello!

[Nian Nian]: Are you really asleep?

Just after saying the disgusting words, Xu Xing didn't want to pay attention to Xu Niannian for the time being. He was just about to turn off his phone and go to sleep, when he received another message from this guy Li Zhibin.

[A Bin]: I still can’t sleep even though I’m riding a horse...I feel excited and scared at the same time.

[A Bin]: Do you think it’s normal for me to be so nervous?

Seeing his pretentious look, Xu Xing immediately curled his lips and replied.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Come on, university! (Fist, fist, fist)

【Abin】:???

…

August 16, six o'clock in the morning.

Xu Xing got up early and when he walked out of the bedroom, he smelled the aroma of porridge and fried eggs coming from the kitchen.

I turned around and saw that my mother was frying eggs and my father was serving porridge.

Rubbing his eyes, Xu Xing thought he was dreaming: "The sun is coming out from the west?"

"What are you doing standing around?" Sun Wanhui glanced at him, "Hurry up and wash up and have breakfast."

"Oh, here it comes."

Xu Xing went into the bathroom and washed up briefly, then sat at the dining table and had breakfast with his parents.

I don’t know how long it has been since the three of them sat at the same table and had breakfast like this.

Usually the three of them are completely staggered. Sun Wanhui has to get up very early to open the shop and leave the earliest. If Xu Xing wants to go to school, he will definitely be able to get up before seven o'clock, while Xu Jian can be slower and ready to go to work at nine o'clock. He can arrive at eight o'clock

Then I slowly got up.

After the summer vacation, Xu Xing either got up early to go to the wholesale market with his mother, or slept in and wandered to the Internet cafe at nine or ten.

In short, the family of three rarely meets each other in the morning.

Only today, Xu Xing University started school, and Sun Wanhui and Xu Jian both had to go to the clothing store, which happened to create this scene.

So much so that Xu Xing drank the porridge a little slower. Looking at his parents sitting opposite, the gradually decreasing number of fried eggs, fermented bean curd and preserved eggs in front of him, and feeling the warmth from the food he drank, he felt a little confused for a moment.

It actually made him feel like he wanted to stay at home for a few more days.

But soon, his parents immediately shattered his fantasy.

"Is there still money in the bank card I gave you?" Sun Wanhui glanced at him and said, "Until the money in it is spent, my family will not pay you for living expenses. You will tell me when it is spent.

"

"Oh." Xu Xing responded subconsciously, and then suddenly a thunder exploded in his mind, and he almost said, "...Wait a minute, are the living expenses gone?"

"Are you still short of living expenses?" Sun Wanhui glanced at him, "Isn't the money in the card enough for you to use in school for several years?"

hiss……

Xu Xing swallowed cryptically and nodded calmly: "That's true."

But at this time, there was quite a stir in his heart.

He had indeed received 50,000 yuan from his mother before from the Taobao online store. Counting the 10,000 yuan from his grandfather, there was a total of 60,000 yuan.

In the past two months, I have spent almost 10,000 yuan.

Yesterday, considering that school was about to start, Xu Xing fortunately paid Yan Chiju and Xu Niannian's salary in advance, which is another 4,500.

There is still about 45,000 yuan left, of which Yao Yuanyuan has converted about 40,000 yuan into US dollars according to his instructions, signed promotion and advertising contracts with those bloggers and paid a deposit.

In other words, Xu Xing currently only has a balance of about 5,000 yuan...

Now Yan Chiju, a young employee, instantly has more savings than Xu Xing, the boss, and turns into a rich little woman!

This incident gave Xu Xing a bit of a toothache.

He originally thought he would save 5,000 yuan for tuition, and get 1,500 yuan for living expenses from his mother, and he would be able to regain his health with Fruit Assassin in the next month.

As a result, now that I have paid my tuition fees when school starts, I am afraid that I will only have more than a thousand dollars left at most.

It is not difficult to get through the half month before September. After all, with one thousand yuan in this era, it is very simple to just eat and drink to survive.

But this makes it difficult for him to spend money lavishly without considering his balance.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Xu Xing was suddenly knocked back from being a rich man, and even after paying his tuition, he was not as rich as when he was first reborn.

This is quite uncomfortable.

However, Sun Wanhui and Xu Jian obviously didn't notice anything strange about him. After breakfast, they didn't intend to clean up. They just took their things and went to the door to put on their shoes.

As he walked out the door, he said: "Remember to wash the bowl after eating."

Xu Xing: "...I understand."

After breakfast, Xu Xing got up and cleared the dining table, quickly washed the bowls and put them away. After confirming that there was still a lot of porridge in the pot for his grandparents, he wiped his hands and returned to the bedroom, unpacking the suitcase he had packed last night.

I got up, looked back at the bedroom, and simply walked out of the door.

I have left home many times in my previous life, and it is normal for me not to return for a long time.

This time it's just a few stops away from home. I can come back during the National Day, and I can even go home anytime I want to come back on weekends.

But when Xu Xing walked out of the corridor and faced the sun and blue sky above his head, he felt an inexplicable warmth reverberating in his chest.

A new journey is about to begin.

…

Xu Xing dragged his suitcase out of the gate of the community, walked all the way to the Internet cafe, and walked up to the private room on the second floor.

After opening the door, Xu Xing thought about the fact that he had no living expenses, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Yan Chijie saw that his face looked a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but asked worriedly.

"Jealous." Xu Xing looked at her and asked with a serious face, "What would you do if one day your boss suddenly becomes destitute?"

"Well..." Yan Chijiu blinked, lowered his head again, and after thinking for a long time, he whispered a little shyly, "Well, then I can open a studio and hire the boss as an employee."

"But I may not be able to make a salary of three thousand yuan a month..."

"Is a thousand a month okay?"

Listening to the little employee's cute answer, Xu Xing touched his chin and thought carefully: "It's not impossible."
