Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon when Yan Chijuan came out.

Xu Xing, who was waiting here, glanced at her, and then Yan Chijue avoided him with an unnatural expression, not daring to continue to look at him.

Even when he walked out of the police station, he deliberately avoided Xu Xing, as if he didn't want to be with him.

From Yan Chijuan's perspective, today's farce was more like a sharp thorn that punctured the thin membrane between her and her new friend, ruthlessly exposing the ugly scars inside.

Yan Chiju, whose wounds were torn open, was like a clown in a circus who stood in the center of the circus facing the audience after a performance error.

Although he is full of ugliness, he still seems to be pretending to be strong and put a smile on his face.

For the past two weeks, she felt very happy.

The long game of college entrance examination is finally over, and your hard work is about to be rewarded.

I also met Xu Xing and Li Zhibin in an Internet cafe. They could talk to me without any care, and would never ask about my situation, nor would they make any condescending and merciful actions.

It's as if everyone is just normal friends, coming to the Internet cafe to have fun together.

And relying on the recommendation of her friends, she successfully completed a part-time job as a model and earned a clean four hundred yuan.

She didn't keep the money all to herself. From her perspective, Xu Xing also received a commission of 100 yuan, which was considered a mutual benefit.

Just like she dragged Xu Xing to do game training.

Common prosperity is reasonable.

She liked this feeling very much.

But these beautiful illusions, after Xu Xing witnessed everything in the Internet cafe just now, seemed to be like beautiful porcelain, shattered on the ground.

A broken glass bottle, even if your hands are cut and bleeding, can't be put back together to be as good as before, right?

When Yan Chijuan walked out of the police station and saw Xu Xing, he felt grateful, but also full of inferiority and resistance.

It seemed that after this incident, it was time to draw a clear line with Xu Xing and the others.

It seems that people from two worlds cannot stay under the same sky after all.

But before Yan Chijiu could react, Xu Xing grabbed her wrist and led her towards the Internet cafe.

For a moment, Yan Chijuan's inner shyness and humiliation surged into her heart, and she subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she was a little greedy for the warmth and couldn't help but get entangled.

Before she could struggle for long, Xu Xing took her back to the Internet cafe and asked her to sit back in her seat.

The change scattered on the floor had already been collected by Li Zhibin and others and put back into the plastic jar.

The clothes and pants that were thrown on the floor were all picked up by the Internet cafe proprietress and neatly put back in the suitcase.

Xu Xing sat down on the seat next to Yan Chijuan. Without asking her any questions, he turned on the computer and said, "Come on, it's time to help me make money."

…

Yan Chijiu didn't know what was going on with him.

All I know is that time flies by quickly.

The two people started playing in double queue at four o'clock, and in the blink of an eye it was past ten o'clock in the evening.

Li Zhibin and the others had gone home long ago, and only Xu Xing was still with her.

After playing a game, Yan Chijuan heard Xu Xing's PHS ringing, and looked at the dark sky outside the window, realizing that he was going home too.

Thinking of this, Yan Chijiu could not help but feel a sour taste in his heart.

But Xu Xing did not answer the phone immediately. Instead, he opened the web page and searched for basketball videos. After clicking play, he placed the earphones next to his PHS before pressing the listen button.

"Hey! Mom?!"

"Where are you? Why haven't you come back yet?" Sun Wanhui asked in confusion as she listened to the sound of sneakers rubbing against the court and the basketball hitting the ground coming from the other end of the phone.

"It's a class reunion. The squad leader has rented a basketball court. They rent it until early in the morning. We don't want to waste money." Xu Xing made up one lie after another, "It's too late. You go to bed first. We'll fight."

Maybe we’ll have a late night snack after this.”

"You just finished the college entrance examination and you are so crazy? You should pay attention to your safety!" Sun Wanhui couldn't help laughing and scolded, "Are there many people? Parents are worried, you know."

"There are only eight or nine left." Xu Xing said, "The squad leader's house is nearby, in a big villa. If it's too late, we will go directly to his house to lay the floor."

"Which monitor is it?"

"Just Xue Weiqiang, parents will be praised by teachers as the one who will definitely be admitted to Beijing University." Xu Xing was not stingy with his words of praise, "Mom, you must have heard of it."

"Oh~ I have an impression." Sun Wanhui suddenly understood. When she heard that it was the top student who took the lead, she felt relieved and just warned, "I understand. You should pay attention to yourself. If you sleep outside, remember to send a text message before going to bed.

."

"Okay, Mother."

"Just talk nonsense."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing looked at Yan Chijiu, tilted his head and gestured to her: "Finished asking for instructions, continue?"

Yan Chijiu hesitated for a moment, then asked: "...won't you go home?"

"I've said so, isn't it too embarrassing to go home now?" Xu Xing smiled and said, "Do you still want to fight?"

"...Hmm." Yan Chijiu responded and was about to nod.

But the next second, her stomach rumbled.

Yan Chijuan blushed a little and lowered his head without looking at Xu Xing.

But soon, Xu Xing's stomach began to growl.

The two of them looked at each other. Yan Chijiu couldn't help but the corners of his eyes slightly curved, while Xu Xing spread his hands helplessly: "I seem to have forgotten to eat dinner."

At this time, the restaurant next door has long been out of food, but fortunately it still provides barbecue service.

When Xu Xing came back after ordering a large plate of barbecue, he cooked the skewers with Yan Chi Vinegar, and also drank a few cans of cold beer.

"Isn't this... very expensive?" Yan Chijiu was a little hesitant, but the fragrant barbecue smell was so enticing that she kept swallowing her saliva.

"It's okay, I used this to bribe you." Xu Xing pushed the beer in front of her, "Can you drink this?"

Yan Chijuan looked at the sweaty beer, nodded reluctantly, and asked doubtfully: "What do you mean by bribing me?"

"You should be able to program, right?" Xu Xing helped her open the can, handed it over, then opened his own bottle and took a big sip, "You also know that I am making a game."

"Yeah." Yan Chiju held the beer can with both hands, and the cool body of the can felt soothing to her palms. She lowered her head slightly and took a shallow peck. She thought of some possibility, but felt it was a bit unreal.

"So I want to hire you to join my studio, what do you think?" Xu Xing picked up a mutton skewer and handed it to Yan Chijuan. He also picked up one and took a big bite.

Yan Chijiu blinked, he didn't expect that this was really the case.

But she immediately became embarrassed, put the beer can on the table, rubbed the sticks of the mutton skewers with her two little hands, and whispered: "I only have a thousand yuan in total now, and I have to pay at least one more for college tuition and living expenses."

If I save three or four thousand, I probably won’t be able to do anything..."

"Three thousand a month." Xu Xing interrupted her and said straightforwardly, "How about it? Come to my studio and get a salary of three thousand a month, including food and accommodation, until the school starts, which is about two months, six thousand should be enough.

Bar?"

Yan Chijue: "..."

As soon as Xu Xing said these words, Yan Chijuan was immediately speechless.

what to do?

So excited.

Three thousand yuan a month includes food and accommodation. As a newly graduated high school student, where can she find this kind of salary?

But, is this too much money?

"You, where did you get your money?"

After holding it in for a long time, Yan Chijiu finally asked this question which she found very offensive.

"I have saved up my New Year's money for more than ten years." Xu Xing said with a serious face, "There are only tens of thousands of yuan in total, so I am serious about inviting you here, not just for fun."
