Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Alone in his bedroom, Xu Niannian stood quietly by the window, looking out the window at the silent courtyard and the snow-covered fields across the street.

After saying good night to Xu Xing and Yan Chiju, Xu Niannian returned to the bedroom, turned on the air conditioner, took a change of clothes, and took a simple shower.

At this time, she had just finished taking a shower. She was simply wearing a thin nightgown, her long white legs were wearing wet slippers, and she was listening to something.

In fact, I couldn't hear anything, I could only hear the whine coming from the air conditioner, like a whisper.

But when such a sound reached Xu Niannian's ears, it was like the sound of the man and woman flirting in the bedroom next door. It pierced into Xu Niannian's heart, as if it could pierce bright red bloodshot threads.

.

"If you are a boyfriend and girlfriend, they will definitely do something." Xu Niannian put her hands on the window sill and murmured, lowering her head. Her hair covered her lonely and uncomfortable look, "Obviously it should be

It’s just a normal thing.”

But when she thought about this, she felt uncomfortable.

Although logically speaking, she was the one who actually came a step later.

She even had close contact with Xu Xing in bed a few nights ago, and even did something even more outrageous on her birthday two months ago.

So, as expected, it’s all Xu Xing’s fault.

Xu Niannian bit his lips, feeling angry and resentful. He wished he could slap Xu Xing again and then put this matter down completely.

But whenever she wanted to make such a decision, there was always a voice in her heart, whispering vaguely, tempting her.

"What if Xu Xing changes his mind?"

"Or what if one day, the two people in the next bedroom have relationship problems?"

Although thinking this way makes Xu Niannian feel despicable, at this point, Xu Niannian can't think of a better way.

It's like reaching a dead end with no way to move forward.

But it was clear that there was only the last wall left to reach the original goal, yet it was so close yet so far away.

The only way out is to retreat, which also means that all previous efforts and emotions are in vain.

Otherwise, you can only hope that this wall will fall down on its own one day.

What a disgusting feeling.

Xu Niannian took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly.

He turned around and left the window, sat on the bed, then lay down and covered himself with the quilt, leaving only his eyes exposed.

Originally there was still a coolness in the quilt, but as time went by, it quickly became warmer.

It would be great if there was one more person with the body temperature around me.

Xu Niannian turned to look at the half empty pillow next to him, and thought of the scene in the bedroom next door.

At this time, this is how Xu Xing and Jianju sleep in the same bed, right?

You might even be doing something embarrassing.

Xu Niannian pursed her lips and closed her eyes, forcing herself not to think about such things. But once she closed her eyes, these imaginary scenes seemed to appear in front of her eyes involuntarily, making her feel as if her mouth was full.

Cotton, I can’t scream.

If possible, she would rather Xu Xing not tell her anything, so that she would not become like this.

I don't know what those two people are doing now.

Xu Niannian turned sideways, half of his face buried in the pillow, and only one misty eye was exposed. He couldn't see anything clearly in the dim bedroom.

…

Next door, after washing up, Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan went to bed.

But it was the first time he spent the night at Xu Xing's grandparents' house. Yan Chijuan was still very reserved. He didn't let Xu Xing come over to him immediately. Instead, he shrank to one side and carefully covered his beautiful figure with the quilt.

"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and we can finally sleep together again. Why don't you take the initiative?" Xu Xing lay down next to her, glanced at such a timid Yan Chiju, and couldn't help but laugh, "They are all asleep.

, it’s impossible to come to our place in the middle of the night, you can just stay at your own home.”

"This is different..." Yan Chijiu muttered, but after lying like this for a while, she couldn't help but move closer to Xu Xing's position. She didn't stop until their arms and skin touched each other.

A man and a woman were alone in the same room. Xu Xing couldn't hold it back for long. From the time the skin of the two people's arms touched together to the time their lips touched each other, it only took a minute or two in total.

The snorts in the bedroom, the sticky saliva after kissing for a long time, the gasps that stopped immediately after a brief separation, and the sounds caused by the friction between the quilt and the sheets in the bed.

It's all intertwined.

Xu Xing didn't let her go until Yan Chijiu was so confused and infatuated by the kiss, her eyes were blurred, her mouth was moist from the kiss, and her body bones were all soft and hot.

Nestled in Xu Xing's arms, Yan Chijuan closed his eyes and felt indescribable peace of mind.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the bedside rang. It was Yan Chijuan's mobile phone.

Xu Xing stretched out his arm and took the phone over. After taking a look, he handed it to Yan Chijuan and said, "This is from Sister Yuanyuan."

As soon as he heard it was Yao Yuanyuan, Yan Chijuan immediately picked up the phone. After answering the call, he asked cautiously: "Hello?"

"Hey." Yao Yuanyuan said over there, "You said you were going to find Xu Xing, have you seen him now?"

"Yeah, I see." Yan Chijiu nodded.

"Then are you coming back today?" Yao Yuanyuan asked again, "It's already past ten o'clock."

"Isn't the answer obvious?" Xu Xing, who was hugging Yan Chijuan's soft body, said to the other end of the phone, "My girlfriend sleeps with you for a few nights, so just be satisfied."

"What the hell?" Yao Yuanyuan was immediately annoyed when she heard Xu Xing's voice, "Are you two going a little too far?"

Yan Chijiu blushed a little at what he said, and quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister Yuanyuan, I won't be back today. You should go to bed early today, and you don't have to wait for me."

"Where do you live in Xu Xing?" Yao Yuanyuan asked. She gradually came back to her senses and asked in surprise and suspicion, "Aren't you two already lying on the bed?"

"It's good to know, so can you stop disturbing me?" Xu Xing said with a smile.

"Damn!" Yao Yuanyuan suddenly felt like she had been stuffed with dog food.

Yan Chiju, who was leaning in Xu Xing's arms, turned red at what he said, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth: "Stop talking."

Hearing Yan Chijue's eager tone, Yao Yuanyuan on the other end of the phone suddenly sounded resentful: "So I've really fallen asleep? Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Yan Chi was embarrassed to be called jealous, but Yao Yuanyuan had no intention of continuing to squeeze her. She shook her head and said, "I won't tease you anymore. If you don't come back tonight, I will go directly back to my place. Good night."

"

"Well..." Yan Chijiu nodded, "Good night, Sister Yuanyuan."

After finally hanging up the phone, Yan Chiju breathed a sigh of relief, put the phone back on the bedside, and retracted it into Xu Xing's arms.

The two of them were so gentle and quiet for a long time before slowly chatting again.

Xu Xing shared with her the interesting things that happened in the countryside these days.

Including his parents, they reacted in surprise when they found out the identity of the boss of his company.

I had a snowball fight with sisters Xu Niannian, Xu Suisui, and Li Zhibin. As a result, Li Zhibin was the most criticized.

Fireworks were set off, snowdrifts were blown up, snowmen were built, and turtles were painted.

During the Chinese New Year, there are so many things to share.

In comparison, Yanchi vinegar's place is much more monotonous.

"Aunt Pei divorced her husband when Sister Yuanyuan was very young. Over the years, she has always taken Sister Yuanyuan and her parents to celebrate the New Year with her."

"But because Aunt Pei is usually very busy, sometimes she works outside even during the Chinese New Year and New Year's Eve, so many times, there are actually only Sister Yuanyuan and her grandparents."

"This year is not bad. Aunt Pei is back, but after the New Year's Eve dinner, she went to work again the next day, so Sister Yuanyuan and I didn't have anything else to do, so we went back to work."

During the Chinese New Year period, the company is also relatively deserted.

Except for the employees who were lured back to develop new projects by the high overtime pay proposed by Gong Ao, most of the other employees who stayed and worked overtime during the New Year were just to maintain the basic operation of some projects.

Either it's too far away from home and I'm too lazy to go back this year.

Or my home is in Shanghai, which is more convenient, and I can still go to work normally, so I can earn some overtime pay, and by the way, I can legitimately avoid the blind dates that my family urges me to do.

After Xu Xing finished sharing his New Year experience, he hugged Yan Chijuan and listened quietly to her talking about these little things.

However, from beginning to end, Yan Chijuan only talked about what happened after New Year's Eve.

Including her going to Yao Yuanyuan's house to have New Year's Eve dinner, making dumplings, watching the fireworks on the street, and calling Xu Xing to say Happy New Year.

Then there is the time to go to work after the Chinese New Year, work in the company, what progress has been made on the projects, and what problems have been encountered.

I came here after get off work today and she has to go back tomorrow morning.

"Then let's go back together tomorrow morning." Xu Xing said.

"Ah?" Yan Chijue was stunned for a moment, then he immediately responded, "Oh, oh oh... you said before that you went back on the fifth day of the lunar new year."

"Well, after the relatives here have invited guests, I don't want to go to the banquets of other relatives who are more distant. I can just let my parents go." Xu Xing shrugged, "There are a lot of things waiting for the company after the new year.

I'll take care of it and leave after I tell my parents tomorrow."

Having said this, Xu Xing glanced at Yan Chiju who was very happy, rubbed her head, and his tone softened, and then said:

"Now, Miss Jealousy, can you tell me about it?"

"You went to your dad's house before and said there was something you wanted to know."

"Now that I've seen it, you should be able to share it, right?"

After hearing what Xu Xing said, Yan Chijue fell silent for a moment, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything immediately.

"Well..."

She looked a little embarrassed, it was hard to speak, or she didn't know where to start.

Xu Xing didn't want to embarrass her, he just said very thoughtfully: "It's okay. If you haven't thought about what to say, don't worry about telling me this. I'm just curious."

"It's not that it can't be said, it's just that it's a bit difficult to say." Yan Chijie sighed, with a very troubled expression on his face, "And I don't know if this is true now, and there is no other way to know the truth."

"What do you mean?" Xu Xing asked strangely.

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Yan Chijiu was a little helpless and looked quite lonely, "The real reason why my parents divorced may have little to do with Aunt Qu, and it was my mother who initiated it

divorce."

"What do you mean?" Xu Xing was a little confused and confused, "Your mother took the initiative to propose a divorce, isn't it just because your father and that Aunt Qu..."

"This...it's a long story."

Yan Chijiu scratched his head in distress. Maybe he still wasn't sure of the authenticity of the situation, so he just said this.

"My dad and Aunt Qu are actually college classmates and have been together before graduation."

"But Aunt Qu is from a rural area in the south of Hujian Province. Her family background is very poor. My grandparents don't like her very much. I hope my dad can find a local girl."

"Well... you should be able to understand that many local families in Shanghai are like this. They are relatively exclusive, and their marriage partners tend to be local."

Xu Xing: "...Good guy."

Hearing what Yan Chijue said, for some reason, Xu Xing seemed to have already guessed the next direction of the matter.

But he still asked: "What then?"

"Then my grandparents separated my dad from Aunt Qu and arranged a blind date for my dad."

Yan Chijiu continued, "But my dad is still secretly with Aunt Qu in private, and the blind dates on the surface have always been perfunctory."

"It was still in the last century. My father's job was all through referrals from the family. Grandpa Wo controlled the financial lifeline, so he could only cater to his ideas."

"Later, there was really no other way, and I happened to meet a woman on a blind date who didn't want to get married, so my dad made a plan with her and decided to fake the marriage."

Xu Xing: "...This woman is your mother?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Yan Chijiu still nodded with difficulty: "Well...according to Aunt Qu, that should be it..."

"But since it was a fake marriage, why did your father and your mother..." Xu Xing felt that there was something wrong with the logic of this matter, so he closed his mouth again and looked down at Yan Chijuan. Seeing that her face was gloomy, he couldn't help it.

I don't know if I should keep asking.

"So this is the man." Yan Chi pursed his lips with jealousy, "It was obviously a fake marriage, but after the marriage, wasn't it because my mother was pretty that I couldn't hold it back in the end?"

Xu Xing opened his mouth, not knowing where to start, and even looked a little embarrassed, even a little guilty.

Those who didn't know this thought that Yan Chijiu already knew about his affair with Xu Niannian and was making insinuations here.

"If this is true..." Yan Chijue got into Xu Xing's arms tightly and hugged him hard, "then my appearance in this world may really be just a mistake."

Xu Xing's heart trembled when he heard her trembling tone, and he immediately hugged her hard: "No, even if it was a mistake, you are my correct answer."

"real?"

"Um."

It's just like solving an equation, sometimes there may not be only one correct answer...
