Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

"Students who haven't paid their class dues yet, remember to pay them."

After the military training in the evening, before everyone left, class monitor Xue Weiqiang said, "In addition, if no other students come to apply for the scholarship for poor students tonight, I will submit the application form to the counselor at noon tomorrow."

After saying this, he continued: "In the past two days, I have communicated with the class committee of the 2nd Work Management Class. Our class meeting on September 1st will be held on the playground and basketball court in the afternoon, and then we will meet again after dinner.

Gather in the big classroom and watch a movie together."

"We will buy some small gifts and snacks at that time. The specific expenses will be announced in the QQ group after the event. If you need it, you can check it at any time."

After saying this, Class 8 students were finally dismissed.

Lu Pengyou took the lead and walked towards the cafeteria. He did not forget to announce to his roommates with great vigor and arrogance: "Look, it must have been because there were too few girls in our class before. When the class meeting is held, I will let you see it."

My charm!”

We have known each other for more than a week. Although Zhang Nong doesn't talk much, he always hits the point directly: "Brother Lu, whether you can find a girlfriend actually has no significant relationship with the ratio of men to women. I heard that some

Boys, even if there are more girls in the class, have never been in love once in four years of college."

When Lu Pengyou heard this, he immediately became angry: "They are cowards! Just wait and see, I will be single on the spot on September 1st!"

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Xu Xing patted him on the shoulder, "With brothers accompanying you, you don't have to have such high demands on yourself."

As soon as Xu Xing finished speaking, Yan Chijuan, who was next to him, had already stepped forward and whispered: "Xu Xing, do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

"Oh, let's go." When Xu Xing heard Yan Chijie's words, he nodded habitually, turned around and said hello to his roommates, "Then you can eat, I won't come with you."

Lu Pengyou looked at the backs of the doggy couple leaving, and suddenly his face was full of black lines: "You are riding a horse..."

Jian Jiashu on the side patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay. Xu Yingying also came to see me several times. I didn't go to dinner with her. I ate with you all."

Lu Pengyou: "...You might as well not say this."

Zhang Nong: "So I think what I said before is correct, right?"

"You big-headed devil!"

…

"I borrowed my roommate's mobile phone to log in to QQ at noon." Yan Chijuan walked beside Xu Xing, turned to look at the boss and said, "Sister Yuanyuan said in the group that the downloads of our game exceeded 10,000?"

"Well, yes." Xu Xing nodded.

"Isn't that a lot of money?"

"Almost, I've recovered my money for the time being."

"Then boss, do you want to go out to celebrate together?" Yan Chijuan finally revealed his true purpose and asked cautiously, blinking his eyes, "Xu Yingying recommended a barbecue restaurant to me, saying it was very good, and there seemed to be some discounts recently.

Activities can save a lot of money.”

When Xu Xing heard that there was a discount, and it was nearing the end of the month, he had been frugally spending for almost half a month. In fact, he didn't even spend 500 yuan, and he basically took other people's money...

Anyway, you will receive the game share next month, so there is no need to go out of your way to save money now.

So Xu Xing nodded and agreed: "Okay, we really should celebrate."

The two people were originally walking towards the cafeteria with the crowd, but suddenly turned around and walked towards the outside of the school gate.

After confirming that he could go out to eat with his boss, Yan Chijuan felt happier and started to talk a little more along the way.

"Boss, why did the number of downloads only reach 2,000 on the first day of the recommendation, and then increased to 10,000 on the second day?"

"Because only the platform was exposed on the first day, and the publicity carried out by our studio worked later."

"Studio promotion?"

"Well, before school started, I contacted about twenty online bloggers from the United States and signed advertising contracts with them. I just asked them to upload their promotional videos yesterday."

"So that's it." Yan Chijiu suddenly understood, and then he understood the reason, "But advertising is very expensive, right? How much does it cost to find more than 20 bloggers?"

"Fortunately, I'm looking for bloggers with only tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of followers." Xu Xing shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "And the contract we signed only requires a deposit first, and the subsequent amount will be based on the data in the video and

The conversion rate is determined step by step, and no one-time payment is required.”

"Based on the current trend, the final total payment will probably be tens of thousands of dollars."

"But if it's just a down payment, a few thousand dollars is enough."

After deducting development costs, Xu Xing only had a deposit of about 40,000 yuan on hand.

In addition to the tuition and living expenses reserved for himself, he asked Yao Yuanyuan to convert the rest into U.S. dollars to pay the deposit for the advertising contract.

This is undoubtedly a big gamble for other companies.

But for Xu Xing, it is nothing more than borrowing a little bit of Fruit Assassin's future earnings to accelerate the spread of Fruit Assassin.

In the previous life, although the game Fruit Ninja was popular all over the world, it still needed a certain period of fermentation in the early stages.

This fermentation period can be as short as one month, as long as half a year or even longer.

Although Xu Xing has enough confidence, if the catalysis can be accelerated, no one will be willing to wait so long.

After all, Xu Xing, who returned from the future to the present, has almost all Wang Zha in his hands, and all he lacks is the start-up funds for the project.

After stimulating the potential of Fruit Assassin, a cash cow, Xu Xing can naturally launch other projects as quickly as possible and start cash flow as soon as possible so that he can compete for those new tracks in the next few years.

However, Yan Chijuan hadn't thought of this yet, and it just sounded a little painful: "Tens of thousands of dollars? Doesn't that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars? It's enough to make several fruit assassins."

Xu Xing smiled helplessly: "When making a game, it's really important to ensure its quality, but sometimes, not every quality game is a good one. Good marketing methods are also important for the cost of the game.

component."

The two walked out of the school gate while chatting. Xu Xing glanced at the row of restaurants opposite, turned around and asked, "Which barbecue restaurant are you talking about?"

"Xu Yingying said there is a Korean barbecue restaurant next to Malatang." Yan Chijuan said, his eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the opposite side, and he pointed to the Korean barbecue restaurant and said, "I found it, it should be this one.

.”

"Let's go." Xu Xing has been eating other people's meat dishes during this period. He can't eat enough every time, and he has already become very greedy.

Today, Fruit Assassin's sales exceeded 10,000, which means he has unlocked the seal on his wallet and can finally open it up and have a good meal.

So he walked across the street with Yan Chijuan and walked quickly to the entrance of the barbecue restaurant. He didn't carefully read the detailed description of the promotions next to the door sign and walked straight into the barbecue restaurant.

"Welcome." The waiter inside was enthusiastic. When he saw the guests coming in, he immediately greeted them and asked with a smile, "Are they two guests?"

Xu Xing nodded, and the waiter immediately led the two of them to the double seat by the window and brought over a menu: "You two are ordering here. If you need anything, you can call me anytime."

After taking the menu, Xu Xing started to read it, while Yan Chijuan on the opposite side stopped the waiter and asked curiously: "I heard that you have a special promotion here recently, is it true?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot." The waiter apologized quickly and brought out a list of discounts from the front desk. He looked at the two of them and smiled ambiguously, "This is our couple's discount, 10% off the entire store.

There is also a set menu for couples, where the meals are 20% off the original price, so you two can take a look.”

"By the way, since it's a couple package, if you want to get the discount, you two need to prove your relationship."

"We don't have high requirements. Considering that many student couples here are shy, we only need to hug for three seconds."

Yanchi vinegar: "???"

Xu Xing: "???"

"Wait a minute." When Xu Xing heard this, he quickly said, "We..."

"We have to prepare!" Yan Chijuan loudly interrupted Xu Xing's words, and said to the waiter with his ears flushed, "Can you give me some time to prepare?"

"Okay, it's okay." The waiter smiled politely, "I'm right over at the front desk. You can call me anytime when you're ready."

After saying that, the waiter retreated to the front desk, leaving the two of them sitting facing each other.

"You only told me it was a promotion, but you didn't say it was this." Xu Xing said in a low voice.

Yan Chijie was actually a little confused at this time, and explained in a low voice: "Xu Yingying only said that there were discounts, and I didn't know what it was like..."

"Then what did you just do..."

"I, I don't want to save money..." Yan Chijue was a little shy, blinking to avoid Xu Xing's sight, and said with a guilty conscience, "10% off the entire store, 20% off the set menu, I can save a lot of money."

Xu Xing looked at Yan Chijie helplessly, a little speechless: "Just to save these dozens of dollars, why don't we?"

"Actually, it's nothing, right?" Yan Chijuan put his hands on his knees and lowered his head, not daring to let Xu Xing see his expression and eyes at this time, "If you can save dozens of dollars by hugging me, I

I wish I could hug you every day."

What about a man instead?

The ridiculing words almost popped out of Xu Xing's mouth, but he was able to hold them back in time.

If this situation continues, the girl in front of me may no longer be able to hide her feelings.

Xu Xing held his forehead with his right hand, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Yan Chiju in front of him. In his mind, he could still recall the scene when he and this little girl met in an Internet cafe for the first time.

At that time, Yan Chijuan had an indifferent expression, squatting on a chair in the Internet cafe, ignoring anyone's attempts to strike up a conversation.

If it weren't for that admission ticket, maybe the two of them would never have any intersection in this life.

Xu Xing thought about Yan Chijiu's expectations after accepting the invitation to model, his joy after receiving a 400-yuan red envelope, his helplessness and depression when facing the mess on the ground and his bad mother, and his hope for life after getting a job. Every day

He worked overtime secretly at night and even hid stars in the sachet given to him...

Although they had only known each other for less than three months, it seemed that there were already many memories to savor, and the strong woman from a foreign company in her previous life who was cold and ruthless to everyone seemed to have gradually faded into his memories.

It's just that Xu Xing was not in the mood to consider these issues in detail for the time being due to his previous busyness.

Now that Fruit Assassin is on the right track for the time being, the early layout has been firmly established, and after the effects of the advertising video have begun to show, the studio's follow-up funding should not be a problem.

At this time, Xu Xing finally had some leisure time to examine his current college life.

Finally, he looked at Yan Chijiu, who was a little worried, and quietly raised his head, glanced at him secretly, and found that Xu Xing was still looking at him, and immediately shrank back. Xu Xing couldn't help but laugh, and simply stood up and faced the front desk.

Shout: "Waiter!"

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Yan Chijiang's wrist, and pulled her up from her seat, who was only less than 1.6 meters tall.

Yan Chijuan was startled by Xu Xing's sudden movement. He let out a soft "yeah", staggered and came to Xu Xing, almost throwing himself into his arms.

However, when he thought that he was surrounded by diners, Yan Chiju was a little shy. He lowered his head and stared at the toes of the two of them, blinking his eyes, and then managed to distract himself and stop himself from being so nervous.

"Are you ready?" The waiter looked at the two people with a smile on his face and already had a guess in his heart.

These two people are either still in the ambiguous stage, which is a good opportunity to break the membrane, or they have just been together for a short time, and at most they are holding hands, not to mention kissing, and they have probably never even hugged each other.

.

So after Xu Xing nodded to her, the waiter smiled very cooperatively and said: "Then you can start at any time. I will count down for three seconds, and it will be considered successful when the countdown reaches one."

"Yeah." Xu Xing nodded, then lowered his head and asked, "Then I'll hug you?"

At this time, Yan Chijuan finally plucked up the courage, raised his head slightly, and his eyes became moist unknowingly. In the end, he only dared to look at Xu Xing, then quickly lowered his head and responded in a low voice:

"Um."

When the surrounding guests saw this scene, they all stopped and looked here with interest.

There were even little sisters who came to eat together. Seeing such an ambiguous scene, they couldn't help covering their mouths and making a sound.

Especially when I saw that both of them are handsome men and women, and they are very cute and have the most adorable height difference, it felt like I was seeing the male and female protagonists of a TV series, pushing and shoving, talking and laughing.

However, Xu Xing didn't pay attention to his surroundings at this time. He just took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hands, and walked around Yan Chijuan's shoulders and back.

Slowly, carefully, little by little, slowly tighten your arms.

After Yan Chijuan felt Xu Xing's strength on her back, she also cooperated silently and moved closer to Xu Xing's arms.

Two small hands, like two small claws, gently rested on Xu Xing's shoulders, and his head leaned sideways against Xu Xing's chest, listening to his fierce heartbeat at the moment.

It turned out that the boss was also so nervous... The moment he felt Xu Xing's heartbeat, Yan Chijue was comforted. Part of the original nervousness was immediately relieved. What was more, he felt the adrenaline brought by the first serious hug.

intense stimulation.

The boss's arms are so warm...the chest is so strong...the heartbeat is so fast...ah! The boss even touched my hair...and even touched my waist...um...did my breasts get touched?

ah……

At the end of the thought, Yan Chijuan felt a little shy and subconsciously wanted to step back a little to avoid the pressure on her chest becoming too stuffy.

But until then, Yan Chijuta suddenly heard the waiter next to him shout: "Three~~~~~~~"

This countdown is really humane.

At this time, Xu Xing no longer cared about complaining about the waiter's naughty behavior, and just silently hugged the girl in his arms tightly.

There is a saying that if Xu Niannian is excluded, this is the first time in his two lives that he has seriously embraced a girl of the opposite sex who is of the same age as him.

Even if you are a reborn person, when facing such a first time, you will inevitably feel excited and your body will tremble slightly.

Yan Chijuan's body is so small that it is easy to fold his arms when he holds her in his arms. With just a little more force, Yan Chijuan can be squeezed tightly into his arms.

But even with her relatively relaxed embrace, Xu Xing could still feel the plump figure hidden under her military training uniform near her chest.

Yan Chijuan's breath passed through his open collar after military training and landed on the skin between his collarbone and neck, causing Xu Xing's breathing to quicken slightly.

He felt that his mind went blank for a moment, and his hands unconsciously touched Yan Chijuan's short hair with one hand, pressed it on the back of her head and caressed it carefully, and the other hand slipped down to her

The hug around the waist became tighter.

It was only then that the waiter shouted in a very evil manner: "Two~~~~ Come on! We will succeed soon!"

So Xu Xing and Yan Chiju simply closed their eyes.

After all, there are so many people watching around, even a big man like Xu Xing would feel a little embarrassed.

But once you close your eyes, the other person's breathing, the other person's heartbeat, the good smell of the other person, and the strength of each other's embrace all become clearer in an instant.

So much so that the two of them felt as if a long period of time had passed, or as if it was just a moment.

Until the waiter's voice suddenly came to my ears: "One!"

!" When Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan suddenly woke up from a dream, they immediately separated and stood on both sides, neither of them dared to look at each other at this time.

"Congratulations to you two~" The waiter looked at the two young people who were just freshmen and was very emotional and very happy. He clapped and congratulated them.

There were also many passers-by who watched their embrace and applauded. Among the little sisters at the table over there who were a little drunk, there was also an older sister who stood up and cheered, but was pulled down by the sisters at the same table with a smile.

After finally returning to his seat, Xu Xing wondered whether the three seconds just now were more than ten seconds.

Maybe even thirty seconds.

Otherwise, if it had only been three seconds, how could his heart be beating so hard?

Opposite him, Yan Chijuan was sitting obediently, with his hands on his knees, and his upper body still uncontrollably rocking back and forth, recalling the smell of the hug just now in his mind.

From time to time he would show a silly smile.

Fortunately, she lowered her head and did not let Xu Xing see her expression at this time.

"Ahem." The waiter on the side reminded thoughtfully, "You two, we've finished hugging you. We can start ordering."

After being reminded by the waiter, the two of them woke up from a dream and quickly started ordering.

If you eat a little later, you might be late for the military training in the evening.

"Hmm, cough, cough." After the food was served, the two of them were halfway through eating. Yan Chiju suddenly added in a low voice and mysteriously, "Just now it was just a joke on our part, all for the sake of discounts and to save money."

"Well..." Xu Xing raised his eyes and glanced at her, as if he was still reminiscing about the soft and petite body in his arms. He soon came back to his senses and nodded cooperatively, "Yes, it was just a prank, just to visit the barbecue restaurant.

wool."

The two people's eyes crossed over the smoky barbecue iron plate, looked at each other, and then lowered their heads to eat the meat in perfect agreement. After saying this, they both felt a little guilty.

But Yan Chijuan was secretly happy in his heart.

Although she initially complained about Xu Yingying for concealing information, now she was secretly thanking her good roommate for her help.

Otherwise, if I really want to wait until the boss takes the initiative to hug her, I really don't know how long it will take until the year of the monkey.

Although the two of them haven't fully explained their relationship yet, Yan Chijuan is very happy and enjoys the feeling of being able to get an electric shock just by looking at each other.

Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry.

Yanchi vinegar.

You are very lucky to have met Xu Xing.

To know how to be satisfied, you must not be in a hurry.

Yan Chijuan reminded himself silently in his mind, flipping the barbecue with tongs in his hand, and then eagerly handed it to Xu Xing.

"The boss eats meat."

"Well, you should also eat more."

Seeing Xu Xing stuffing the barbecue he had baked into his mouth, Yan Chijuan held his face in his hands and watched this scene, feeling that his belly was already full.
