Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 273 Jealousy’s Attack

On New Year's Day, I still had dinner at home in the evening.

From the next few days, Xu Xing will have to follow his parents to have dinner at relatives' houses.

For example, this large family is headed by Xu Lisong. Xu Lisong has two sons, namely Xu Jian and Xu Yi.

Xu Lisong's two younger brothers, Xu Xing's second grandfather and third grandfather, each have two and three children respectively.

After spreading out like this, the three generations of the three families can be gathered together, and there will be about thirty people.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, the Xu family comes in turns, starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year and having a meal at each house.

This year, the second grandpa’s house was the first to set up the banquet. On the afternoon of the second day of the lunar new year, Xu Xing and his party followed Xu Lisong to the second grandpa’s house not far away.

The three pairs of elderly people were the happiest. During the Chinese New Year, when they saw the whole house full of family members gathering together, their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.

Among them, the second grandfather's second son, who is also Xu Xing's cousin, is considered the most promising one in the entire Xu family.

When I was a child, I was admitted to the Kyoto University of Posts and Telecommunications. After graduation, I first stayed in a national laboratory. Later, I followed the national policy and started a company. After making progress, it was acquired by a state-owned enterprise. Now I am a senior executive in that state-owned enterprise, and I am also an associate professor at the University of Posts and Telecommunications.

All in all, he has a very exciting and rich resume, and he has always been the leader of his family.

In comparison, Xu Jian had been staying in Xu Lisong's old factory for so many years, and it did pale in comparison.

But this year it's different.

After Sun Wanhui's clothing company became famous, Xu Jian gained a lot of confidence after meeting these relatives, although he could not be considered arrogant.

Then I thought about it, his son has more potential than him, he has not even graduated from college, and his achievements are already higher than everyone here, so what else does he have to feel inferior to?

If he hadn't taken the initiative to show off such a thing, Xu Jian would have wanted to pull everyone together and talk about it.

Even so, when others asked about their clothing business, Xu Jian was still quite proud and shared this year's profits with them.

In other words, Xu Jian can still talk about his own family, but he must be more modest when speaking to others.

Unlike this guy Xu Xing, he was very humble and low-key from beginning to end, and had no intention of exposing his identity anymore.

Anyway, Qunxing Company has already had a showdown with his parents about this matter, and Xu Xing also knows very well that sooner or later, his identity will not be hidden, so now he just lets nature take its course.

After arriving at the second grandfather's house, I got together with my brothers, sisters, and brothers of the same age, and took a few little ones to run around in the fields to have fun, throw firecrackers, and then go to a nearby canteen to buy snacks.

In the evening, after everyone at the three big tables had finished eating, the small group ran to the bedroom upstairs, threw several large bags of snacks on the bed, and then took out playing cards and gathered together.

It doesn’t matter if there are more people. Two decks of cards are put together and everyone plays turtle drawing. A small king is used as a turtle. The king is drawn out and idle. After the rest of the people divide the cards, all the pairs in their hands are thrown out, leaving only the list in hand.

inside.

After that, draw the next player's cards in order. If you draw a pair, you can throw the card away, and then continue to draw. If you can't draw a pair, it's the next person's turn.

Whoever holds the turtle in the end loses and has to accept the punishment, which usually involves drawing a turtle on the forehead and then having to imitate a turtle and crawl around on the bed.

The big boss Xu Xing was having a great time, eating snacks while playing.

Xu played with him every year, always trying his best to make Xu Xing take away the turtle card.

After finally waiting for Xu Xing to lose once, she cheered and asked others to help her hold this guy down and draw a turtle on his forehead.

We played until early in the morning. When we saw that the snacks were almost gone, everyone except those who were too sleepy ran to sleep. Others swarmed downstairs, brought various small fireworks and firecrackers, and ran to the yard to play.

.

While playing, Xu Xing took pictures of this scene and sent them to Yan Chijiu to see.

Soon Yan Chijiu came to reply.

[Vinegar]: You look so playful, I’m so envious.

【Xu Xing】: Haven’t you slept yet?

[Jinge]: I was caught by Gong Ao to catch up on a project. I didn’t get off work until after ten o’clock tonight. I dragged Sister Yuanyuan to live with me. I just finished taking a shower.

[Xu Xing]: That was really hard work...

When Xu Xing saw the news, he felt a little ashamed, and then became speechless. He really had no idea what to do with Gong Ao, a game maniac.

How many days has it been since the Chinese New Year?

Even if most companies are in a hurry to find employees to come to work, they will wait until the sixth and seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

In particular, Xu Xing did not force him to come back so early, so he had to rush back to work.

Xu Xing didn't mind this, but he was a little bit dumbfounded.

The gameplay and core of the card game "Myth Comes to the World" are actually not much different from traditional PC card games.

The only difference lies in the way the card duel is presented, which is quite different from traditional cards.

The entire game duel page is divided into two levels: upper and lower.

The lower layer displays several character cards in the player's hand, while the upper layer of the screen displays the character image of the corresponding card, as well as the opponent's character.

In the most classic map push gameplay, the player's opponent is not other players, but the mobs and BOSS in this map, which is also commonly known as PVE gameplay.

After entering the game, the characters automatically attack and release skills to fight against the mobs on the map.

When the energy bar is full, players can actively control the release of card characters' ultimate moves based on changes in the game on the field.

To be honest, when Xu Xing came up with this plan, Gong Ao had never thought that a card game could be designed like this.

Years ago, at Xu Xing's request, he led a team to build a card system, which was mainly used to build a numerical framework and calculate various skill interactions and damage calculations between cards in real time.

Now that the initial setup is completed, you can enter the next stage of development and try to put some of the first set card characters into this system for testing.

Yan Chijuan started working in the company with Yao Yuanyuan since the first day of the Lunar New Year yesterday, and naturally she was recruited into the project team by Gong Ao.

However, since it is overtime work during the Chinese New Year, the overtime pay will definitely not be less.

Many of the employees who were persuaded by Gong Ao to return to the company during this period came for overtime pay.

[Jiujiu]: Actually, it’s not bad. The new game is very interesting and everyone is very motivated.

[Xu Xing]: Just take your time. This game must at least wait until 4G is rolled out before it can run. Otherwise, the current mobile phone network speed may not be able to support it.

[Jiujiu]: Let’s not talk about work. Are you having a dinner party today?

[Xu Xing]: The second grandpa’s house invites guests to dinner. Tomorrow it will be the third grandpa’s house, and the day after tomorrow it will be our house. They are all the same people.

[Vinegar]: It feels so lively, there are so many people.

[Xu Xing]: It’s okay. It’s like this in our village. A whole family gathers together, and ours is not that big.

[Xu Xing]: When I passed by a house today, there were two tables in the house, three tables in the courtyard, and three tables outside the courtyard gate. Those who didn’t know it thought they were getting married.

【Vinegar】: I feel like it’s relatively rare in Shanghai. There were only five people at Sister Yuanyuan’s house for the New Year’s Eve dinner, including me.

[Xu Xing]: So when you went to your dad’s house before?

【Jinju】: There are only four of us, and Aunt Qu is okay with me.

[Xu Xing]: Then you said you wanted to know something before, when are you going to tell me?

[Jiujiu]: Well... don't worry, I'll tell you when you come back. Anyway... it's not a big deal.

【Xu Xing】: OK.

[Xu Xing]: But, you really don’t plan to come to my house?

[Jiujiu]: No, I’m at work now.

【Xu Xing】: Then I have to tell you something.

[Vinegar]: What?

[Xu Xing]: I told sister Nian Nian about our affairs.

【Vinegar】:Ah?!

When Xu Xing said this, it was obviously a normal thing, but Yan Chijue felt as if his affair was discovered, and he looked very shy.

【Jiangju】: What did Sister Nian say that year? You don’t blame us for not telling her, right?

【Xu Xing】: Don’t worry, she asked me to cherish you.

Yan Chijuan, who was holding a mobile phone, was lying on the bed, his cheeks were red, and he was twisting his body happily.

"Are you chatting with Xu Xing again?" Yao Yuanyuan, who had just taken a shower and went to bed, saw her holding her mobile phone like this and easily guessed what this girl was doing, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Yan Chiju sweetly pressed the screen of his phone and replied to Xu Xing's message.

[Vinegar]: Sister Niannian didn’t say anything else?

【Xu Xing】: Just ask her.

【Jiangju】: I don’t want to ask, will Sister Niannian be angry after keeping it secret for so long?

【Xu Xing】:What do you think?

As he said that, Xu Xing sent her a selfie with a turtle drawn on his forehead. It was obviously Xu Niannian's masterpiece.

The two chatted for a long time, and Yan Chijuan was teased by Xu Xing from time to time, shaking in bed.

Next to her, Yao Yuanyuan yawned, her face speechless: "You dragged me over to sleep with you. Don't tell me that you just wanted to show off to me in front of me."

"Okay, okay, I'll be fine soon."

Yan Chijiu said this while moving his hands non-stop.

[Jiujiu]: I really want to see you. It’s been four days since I last saw you.

[Xu Xing]: I will come back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, at least until our family has finished the banquet.

[Vinegar]: I know~ There are still three days left.

…

Although it is said that it will take three days for Xu Xing to come back.

But the next day after the conversation, Yan Chijuan became a little absent-minded.

Although I am still serious when working, when it is time to rest or eat, I always think about Xu Xing.

But she was afraid that she would disturb him if she kept sending WeChat messages, so she kept enduring it.

It wasn't until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year that Yan Chiju couldn't hold it any longer. After talking to Yao Yuanyuan, he got in the car, called Li Zhibin to ask for directions, and drove towards the countryside.

She set off in the evening. Because she didn't know the way, and it was in a rural area, the navigation was not very accurate, so she took the wrong route twice.

When she drove to the countryside, she first arrived at the door of Li Zhibin's house and took Abin's navigation system with her.

"It's really here." Li Zhibin opened the car door and sat in the back seat, rubbed his hands and blew in the hot air, glanced at Yan Chijuan in the driver's seat, and sighed twice, "Drive forward, Brother Xu.

Home is a little further ahead.”

"Sorry to trouble you." Yan Chijiu thanked him softly, "You didn't tell Xu Xing that I was coming, did you?"

"I didn't say anything, don't worry." Li Zhibin still has this kind of ethics. Since Yan Chijiu planned to surprise Xu Xing, he followed the instructions, "The road here is relatively narrow. Slow down when crossing the intersection, and be careful on both sides.

car."

"Hmm." Yan Chiju drove the car steadily towards Xu Xingjia's house, "Can I park the car there? I heard him say that his family was entertaining guests for dinner tonight, and I didn't know if there was a table in the yard.

"

"That's it." Li Zhibin nodded, and after wandering his mind for a while, he directed, "Then when you get to their intersection, turn left first. There is a relatively spacious open space over there for parking, and then we can walk over there.

Already."

"OK."

One person in the car directed the other person to hold the steering wheel, and soon found the open space Li Zhibin mentioned and parked the car.

After getting out of the car, Yan Chijuan handed the car key to Li Zhibin and said, "Thank you, how about you go back and drive my car."

"Ah? I actually walked back..." Li Zhibin looked at the car keys in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he accepted them. Judging from Yan Chiju's tone, he probably planned to stay at Xu Xing's place tonight.

Oh shit.

How come these two girls are so good?

I rushed to find this guy Xu Xing.

Li Zhibin felt the corners of his mouth twitch when he thought about Xu Xing being dragged up to drink and chatting about Xu Xing's relationship issues the night before.

Looking at the jealous look in Yan Chi's eyes, it was clear that he was not the one who wanted to be in two different situations, but Li Zhibin felt a little guilty for no reason.

I really don’t know what Xu Xing is thinking.

"Let's go, let's go, I'll take you there first." After Li Zhibin took the car keys, he left without any rush, taking Yan Chijuan with him to the entrance of Xu Xing's house.

The lights on the country roads are very dim. There is only a dim white street lamp every ten meters on the roadside.

Yan Chijuan followed Li Zhibin and walked forward. From a distance, he could see the courtyard with warm lights over there.

"It's just past the intersection in front of you, do you see it?"

"Yeah, I saw it."

The two people said this and gradually approached the intersection.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers exploding suddenly came to mind at the corner of the intersection, and then Yan Chijue heard a very familiar sound coming from the other side.

"Xu Xing! Give me a warning when you step on the horse and explode! You scared me! You want to be beaten, right?"

"Hey! I missed it, I missed it! My hand slipped just now, I didn't mean it."

"Can you slide your hand again? Let me see why you didn't slide it on purpose."

The footsteps around the corner were loud and after a while, Yan Chijuan and Li Zhibin, who had already reached the intersection, saw clearly what was happening on the other side of the corner.

Xu Niannian, who was frightened by the sudden sound of firecrackers, was chasing Xu Xing just now. When the two people at the intersection looked over, Xu Niannian had already caught up with Xu Xing and jumped directly onto Xu Xing's back.

"Do you know how much you weigh?"

"I asked you to scare me? This is the punishment you deserve."

Xu Xing looked helpless and had no choice but to carry Xu Niannian on his back.

As a result, the next second, the two people were stunned on the spot, looking at the two people at the intersection.

This moment.

The most panicked person was Li Zhibin.

"What should I do? This scene is too exciting!"

The CPU in Abin's mind has been overloaded and burned out. Looking at this scene, he just feels a little suffocated.

Is this what Shura Field smells like?
