Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

midnight.

During the military training period, after the lights were turned off at ten o'clock in the evening, the four people in the dormitory were still awake.

Jian Jiashu had just finished taking a shower and was sitting at the desk with the lamp on, wiping some skin care products on his face.

Zhang Nong closed his book after turning off the lights, went to bed and lay down, preparing to sleep.

Lu Pengyou sat on his bed, crossed his legs and looked down at his phone, the fluorescent light shining on his face.

On the opposite side, Xu Xing was holding Lu Pengyou's Pineapple Computer, finally able to advance the development process of the Android version of Fruit Assassin a little further.

If it weren't for the fact that the Pineapple Computer belonged to Lu Pengyou and was difficult to take out, and Yan Chijuan was very tired from military training every day, otherwise Xu Xing would have really wanted to lend this computer to Yan Chijuan so that she could work hard at night.

However, thinking that this was a bit excessive, the boss Xu Xing still took care of it personally.

"Old Jane, aren't you tired from doing it on your face every day?" Lu Pengyou changed his position and lay down on his side, holding the phone in one hand and supporting the bed with the other, looking at

When Jian Jiashu was still working hard on his face, he couldn't help but be speechless.

Jian Jiashu was not angry, he just said with a smile: "Everyone has their own interests. This is my interest, just like you like to spend time picking up girls."

Probably because he was targeting Jian Jiashu, Zhang Nong, who usually rarely talks, also intervened: "At least Jian Jiashu's skin has improved after taking care of her skin. Brother Lu, you picked up girls but didn't pick up any of them."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Lu Pengyou felt a little uncomfortable because of his heartache, "If you say that, I will cry for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a camera suddenly lit up on the bed opposite, and Lu Pengyou was blinded by the photo: "Damn! What are you doing, Lao Xu?"

"Look at you crying." Xu Xing chuckled, "I'll save the beautiful memories for you."

"Go away! I get angry when I see a winner in life like you." Lu Pengyou gave him two big words from a distance, and then said after calming down, "I have decided, we still can't just focus on the class.

You have to look at the whole school!”

"I've said this before." Xu Xing added.

"That's what I said now!" Lu Pengyou waved his hand and then asked, "So is there any way you can help me quickly get to know enough girls from other classes? I think casting a wide net is better than hanging on a tree.

Much better."

"Yes." Xu Xing typed on the keyboard, not forgetting to give advice to his roommate, "In the past two days of military training, we will probably choose the members of the national flag team. If you can succeed in the election, you can walk at the forefront of the phalanx waving the national flag.

, I guarantee you are the most handsome boy in the whole academy."

"Really?" When Lu Pengyou heard this, he felt that it was a bit reliable. He clapped his hands and said, "Then I have to give it a try."

…

In the junior dormitory building in the West District, Yu Youjia was walking back to her dormitory, twisting her sore neck a little to relieve the fatigue of the day.

When she returned to the dormitory, opened the door and walked in, her face was suddenly startled. She looked at Xu Niannian, who was wearing pajamas under the bed opposite her with the light on, and was a little surprised: "Why are you back?"

"I'm busy, we'll talk later." Xu Niannian was typing on the keyboard of his computer. He had no time to talk to his roommate for the time being and was catching up on the progress he had left during the day.

Yu Youjia was not in a hurry. She just took a closer look at what Xu Niannian was doing and found that she was still working on the art resources that she had temporarily helped with for a month. She couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't we get it done before? Why are there new ones?

mission?”

"What we made before were foreign versions, but now we are making a domestic special version, which will add some skins and backgrounds with our country's own characteristics." Xu Niannian explained a little.

"That's it, then let me help you."

"No, no, you go take a shower first." Xu Niannian declined politely, "I have plenty of time here, but I was delayed a little bit today and am a little rushed."

Seeing her refusal, Yu Youjia said no more and went to take a shower after changing her clothes.

After more than half an hour, when Yu Youjia finished taking a shower and returned to his desk to finish blow-drying his hair, Xu Niannian finally completed today's tasks, turned off the computer and climbed into bed.

Seeing that she had ended the fight, Yu Youjia finally asked again: "So if you don't blow up your air conditioner at home, why did you suddenly come to school? There are still two weeks before school, right?"

Xu Niannian, who was lying on the bed, was just about to cover himself with the quilt. When he heard Yu Youjia's words, he immediately sat up from the bed again, glared at her in the darkness, and said depressedly: "It's not all up to you."

."

Yu Youjia had just finished drying her hair and hid the hair dryer. A question mark gradually appeared on her face.

"I don't think I asked you to come to school in advance, right? Or am I remembering it wrong?"

"Oops." Xu Niannian patted the quilt a few times in annoyance. His long hair was a little messy, and he said gloomily, "Have you forgotten? Do you still remember what you told me yesterday?"

"What did I say?" Yu Youjia frowned, touching her chin and thinking carefully, "That barbecue restaurant has a promotion in the next two days, so you plan to come over to eat? But that is a couple's event, I'm not following you

Tell me?"

"No, think about it again."

"I said the Student Affairs Center is too busy. It would be great if there were some people to share the load, so?"

"Don't be so sentimental, thank you."

"What else could it be?" Yu Youjia didn't want to guess anymore. After tidying up the desk, she climbed onto the bed opposite Xu Niannian, lay down and covered herself with a quilt, and said casually, "I can't come here to find your brother.

Catch the traitor."

As soon as the words fell, the dormitory fell into silence for an instant.

Become audible.

For several seconds, no negative voice was heard from Xu Niannian. Yu Youjia, who was lying on the bed, was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat up from the bed, hugged the quilt and looked at Xu Niannian opposite, and blinked.

Blinking again: "...you can't, right?"

Xu Niannian, who was on the bed opposite, had his legs bent at the knees, his hands wrapped around his thighs, his chin resting on his knees, his long hair flowing down, the ends of his hair seeming to be far away from the bed.

Seeing Xu Niannian like this, Yu Youjia didn't know what to say, and finally asked jokingly: "Is it possible that this is the legendary brother control? If your brother is in love, you won't be so lenient, right?"

"

Yesterday evening she went out to eat with her boyfriend Zhou Jing, and happened to meet Xu Niannian's younger brother Xu Xing in a Malatang shop. She also discovered a girl who was suspected of being Xu Xing's girlfriend.

After returning to the dormitory in the evening, Yu Youjia didn't think much about it. When chatting with Xu Niannian, she changed the topic and mentioned this sentence by the way.

At that time, Xu Niannian's reaction was not very good. He just jokingly asked what the girl looked like and whether they had any close interactions.

It seemed to Yu Youjia that these were relatively common reactions, so he didn't take it to heart and passed after a few words of conversation.

But who knew that just because Xu Xing might have found a girlfriend, Xu Niannian, a sister, would have such a big reaction that she rushed to school from home half a month in advance, just to confirm whether Xu Xing had found a girlfriend?

This kind of behavior is a bit beyond the scope of ordinary sisters.

To be honest, Yu Youjia has known Xu Niannian for more than two years, and he has never seen her look so sentimental at this time.

After all, in her impression, this girl has always been cheerful and generous, usually laughing and joking, and can quickly infect others with her happiness.

This is one of the reasons why Yu Youjia will become good best friends with her.

But unexpectedly, when Xu Niannian's younger brother Xu Xing was admitted to Min University and fell in love, Yu Youjia actually saw another side of Xu Niannian that was different from the past.

"Then are you sure? Xu Xing and that girl." Xu Niannian did not answer her question, but instead asked, "Do you think they are in love, or do you think they just look alike?"

"It's just a feeling, right?" Yu Youjia recalled a little, "At least the interaction between the two didn't look like a real couple, it was more like friends going out to eat alone, but people mistakenly thought they were a couple. It was embarrassing and helpless.

What does it look like?”

"I'm not sure, after all, it happened yesterday."

"Anyway, if you think about it carefully, unless they don't want others to know that they are in love and deliberately hide it, I don't think they are still a couple."

"After all, they are in college now, and their parents will definitely not mind them falling in love, so the chance of pretending is not high."

Xu Niannian sat on the bed opposite, listening to Yu Youjia's analysis word for word, and comparing the situation during dinner today, his anxious heart finally calmed down a little.

From this point of view, it should be true that as Yu Youjia said, Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan are not in a relationship.

Xu Niannian's mood gradually became clearer, and he finally lay down on the bed again, covered himself with a quilt, and breathed a sigh of relief.

But Yu Youjiake, who was opposite him, felt itchy. He couldn't maintain the restraint of a lady. He grabbed the railing beside the bed with both hands, leaned forward with his upper body, and asked: "So you and your brother

What's going on? You should explain it clearly."

Xu Niannian didn't respond. He just pulled the quilt up and covered his entire head.

Seeing her evasive look, Yu Youjia laughed helplessly, but it was hard to continue asking questions. In the end, she lay down on her bed, covered herself with a quilt and got ready to sleep.

Since Xu Niannian didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't dig into it.

But after lying like this for about twenty minutes, Yu Youjia felt like he was about to fall asleep, when suddenly the faint voice of Xu Niannian from the opposite side came to his ears:

"Jiajia, after I tell you this secret, you are not allowed to tell others."

"Especially Xu Xing."

"May I?"

With a flick of the brush, Yu Youjia opened her eyes and woke up, raised her upper body and looked towards the opposite side.

Through the hazy moonlight outside the window, Xu Niannian was turning sideways to face Yu Youjia, with a pair of eyes that were filled with mist, like rippling lake water, and like amber flowing with marrow, sparkling, moist, and heavy.

Carrying many complicated emotions.

Yu Youjia looked into her best friend's eyes and fell silent for a moment.

It wasn't until she was sure that she realized the seriousness and privacy of the matter that she solemnly nodded her head slightly.

So she heard Xu Niannian's subtle voice coming over: "I...I am not the biological child of my parents...I have no blood relationship with Xu Xing."

For a moment, the dormitory seemed to fall into a realm of silence.

Yu Youjia opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

In the end, I didn’t know where my thoughts were going, so I just asked: “When did you know about this?”

Xu Niannian didn't seem to want to answer, and turned his back to Yu Youjia, as if he had exhausted all his courage by just saying that.

But a few minutes later, Yu Youjia vaguely heard Xu Niannian's mosquito-like voice coming from the direction of the bed opposite:

"Probably when I was in elementary school."

What Yu Youjia didn't know was that that was when Bi Wenli had just become pregnant with Xu Suisui.

…

…

North America, within the department responsible for arranging the App Store recommendation process.

Nord is sitting in front of the computer, holding the company's Pineapple mobile phone in his hand, playing games.

Of course, unlike other migrant workers who are just lying around and fishing, Nord is not just lazy and having fun, but working hard.

With the App Store recommendation slot in hand, their main task every day is to try out thousands of submitted mobile games, and then judge which games are worthy of a recommendation based on their own experience.

Don't think this is a good job.

If it's an outstanding game, Nord can guarantee that he will play crazy games without eating or drinking for three consecutive days.

But if you play junk stuff every day, not only will you not be able to gain spiritual pleasure, but it will easily cause a lot of mental trauma.

In particular, most games do not have any innovation in gameplay, and basically follow the market trend.

Once a popular game appears on the market, Nord can foresee his nightmare in the coming period, and he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being wasted by a bunch of inferior versions of mobile games of the same type.

And what is criticized but also praised is that their recommendation department has a clear rule that for every game that is recommended for trial play, the trial players must guarantee at least five minutes of playing time.

Only after making sure that you have fully experienced the core content of the game can you be qualified to judge whether it is qualified and can be recommended.

And under such circumstances, Nord finally finished another five minutes and closed the old and crude side-scrolling game in his hand, just hoping to play Mario brainwashing game as soon as possible.

Reaching out to pick up the coffee on the table and taking a sip, Nord rubbed his brow and sighed: "Damn it, I've only been transferred here for a week, and I already regret coming to this hellish place."

"Relax," Myron, a colleague on the side, said with a smile, "Occasionally, you can find one or two works that are eye-catching. Isn't this feeling of looking for fine products in the garbage heap very similar to gold mining?"

"But at least the gold I find can be put into my pocket, and the money I make from the good games I find is not mine." Nord rolled his eyes and said, "This is like giving up your first love, the woman.

It's just as bad as giving someone else a wife and children."

"Ahem." Myron, who was drinking coffee, choked on what he said, but kept smiling and encouraged, "You might as well think about it from another angle, why couldn't it be you who played with other people's wives in advance?"

After hearing this, Nord was silent for a while: "...I have to say, your idea is really wonderful, but I feel like I can't hold on for much longer. I'll have to take a break after playing another game at most."

With that said, Nord opened the next game.

The name of the game immediately lit up on the phone screen - [Fruit Assassin].

After that, Nord didn't say another word for twenty minutes.

My colleague next to me, Myron, got up and was about to go to the toilet. He found that Nord, who just said he was going to take a break, was still trying out the game. He couldn't help but smile and pat him on the shoulder, reminding him: "Hey! Just now, you said you would stop playing one more game.

Don’t screw up your brain.”

Nord was patted on the shoulder by him, and he immediately came back to his senses. He blinked his eyes in a daze, looked down at the Fruit Assassin game on his phone, and then said quietly:

"I literally only played one game."
