Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Xu Xing didn't ask for Yan Chiju's reply right away, but after he finished speaking, he took her to eat barbecue.

How could Yan Chiju resist this temptation? Once he was tricked by Xu Xing into taking a bite, he couldn't help but take a second bite, and ended up with a mouth full of oil stains.

Seeing Yan Chi's jealous mouth, Xu Xing laughed a little and handed her a few tissues.

After Yan Chiju borrowed a tissue, he lowered his head shyly and wiped his mouth carefully.

The two of them clinked glasses and drank while making skewers, chatting from time to time. Most of the time, they enjoyed the silence of the moment, and the occasional roar of the grumpy old man playing games could be heard from deep in the hall.

Yanchi vinegar also started with small sips and then drank it in sips.

She couldn't even remember the last time she had barbecue.

It seems like when I was still in elementary school...

At that time, I was carefree and living in the happiest time. I probably never thought that suffering would never greet anyone in advance, and it didn't matter whether you were fully prepared or not.

"You...what happened today..." Yan Chijuan drank his third bottle of cold beer, his face turned red and his head was slightly tipsy. Looking at Xu Xing's face, he couldn't help but asked with confusion in his heart, "You don't

Curious?"

Xu Xing drank his wine and looked at Yan Chijuan as if he were looking at a newcomer who had just joined the job at the workplace drinking table.

The little girl is still a little too young, and her psychological defenses have softened after just one barbecue and three bottles of wine.

Fortunately, Xu Xing is not a bad person, and he has no intention of getting to the bottom of Yan Chijuan's family affairs.

"If I asked, would you tell me?" Xu Xing asked.

"Well..." Yan Chijiu lowered his head and remained silent.

If it was Xu Xing, she might have said that, right?

But maybe I won’t say it.

She was afraid that if she spoke out, she would lose a friend.

It wasn't that she was worried that Xu Xing would look down on her, but that once she said it, she might not be able to look at him as an equal in front of Xu Xing.

There are always people who are willing to show kindness to her out of sympathy and compassion, such as the webmaster lady at this Internet cafe.

But she knew very well that it was impossible to be friends with each other by relying only on the sympathy of others, because the status of the two was not equal.

Being well-matched not only applies to marriages, but also often applies to friendships. Friendships of charity are often fragile and fragile.

This is also the reason why circles of friends are formed.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not too interested in your past." Xu Xing shrugged and said slightly relaxedly, "Although a person is just a blank sheet of paper when he is born, under the atmosphere of family and society,

It will naturally blend into different undertones.”

"Before we have independent self-awareness, we are blank sheets of paper that are painted by other people's brushes."

"Imagine it." Xu Xing held up a mutton skewer and said calmly, "Now we have a blank piece of paper. We go out on the street and ask everyone we meet to draw a stroke on it. What do you think you can draw?

What?"

"So to me, it doesn't matter what background color was rendered on the paper before that."

"The important thing is that when the brush really falls into your hands, even if the background of the paper is dark, you can paint it into a bright starry sky."

"To put it simply," Xu Xing finished eating the mutton skewers, threw the wooden skewers into the plastic bag, took a sip of refreshing beer, and finally concluded, "the bullshit things that have ruined the situation in the past are over, the point is to move forward.

look."

"For example, the salary of three thousand yuan is in front of you."

"Another example is the college life you are about to face."

"These are far more important than the past."

"Am I right?"

Yan Chijiu looked at Xu Xing blankly, with an inexplicable feeling flowing in his heart.

In fact, she understands all these truths, from what people around her say, what teachers comfort her, people who sympathize with her, or what they read online.

But I don’t know why, but the same truth seemed to have magical power when it came from Xu Xing’s mouth.

It was obvious that they had just met each other not long ago.

It's really strange.

"Are you so moved?" Xu Xing was startled by her, and quickly picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Only then did Yan Chijue suddenly come to his senses, quickly turned his head away, and wiped it with a tissue.

It's easy to have mood swings after drinking alcohol. Xu Xing couldn't help but sigh, such a fresh and thick chicken soup can still have such a good effect in this era.

It's just that Yan Chijuan didn't say anything about what happened at home in the end, but he just drank more beer.

After the two of them finished fucking, they continued to play a few more games. Xu Xing didn't even remember when he fell asleep.

It's a rare all-nighter at an Internet cafe. The last time he was so cool and unrestrained was back in his previous life when he was a freshman and sophomore in college.

At the end, he only vaguely heard Yan Chijie say: "Then I agree, but if my level cannot meet your requirements, you must tell me directly."

…

"Hey, hey, wake up."

Xu Xing fell asleep, half asleep and half awake, when he felt someone shaking his shoulder.

He reluctantly opened his eyes from the intense sleepiness, raised his upper body from the table with half-closed eyes, and yawned widely.

"hiss……"

After just one night's sleep in the Internet cafe, Xu Xing felt like his whole body was falling apart, with pain everywhere, and he didn't know how Yan Chijuan had been doing in the past two years.

He turned his head and looked aside, only to realize that it was the network administrator girl calling him.

"I asked my mother yesterday." Yao Yuanyuan said quietly, "I can rent the private room to you."

"Oh?" Xu Xing raised his eyebrows and instantly became energetic, "Can it be cheaper?"

"Let's talk about that for another time. I just want to ask you a question." Yao Yuanyuan asked quietly, "You want to work with JianJiang to build this studio, right?"

"Yes, everyone agrees."

"That's okay." Yao Yuanyuan nodded with satisfaction and said proudly with her hands on her hips, "My mother said that if you two plan to play games during the summer vacation, you can choose the private room upstairs for you to use for free."

She said this not as if her mother agreed, but as if she had made the decision herself, with a proud look on her face.

Xu Xing was a little dazed. He didn't expect such a good thing: "Real or fake? Free?"

"Of course it's true." Yao Yuanyuan waved her hand and said, "The current business of Internet cafes is not very good. We usually don't rely on this to make money. We just treat it as supporting young people to start their own businesses."

"The last sentence was said by my mother, not by me."

Yao Yuanyuan's face lit up when she said this: "Hey, let me tell you, the environment in our private room is great, you have to cherish it."

"And here at Juju, we also have a single bed in the store that can be moved there for her to use."

"But if you want to order food, you still have to pay. We don't cover this."

Hearing this, Xu Xing couldn't help laughing: "Thank your mother for me."

"You don't need to thank me." Yao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him, "It's just for the sake of jealousy, otherwise I will definitely charge you money."

Yan Chijuan has lived in the Internet cafe for two years. Not only Yao Yuanyuan knows it very well, but Yao Yuanyuan's mother also knows a little bit about the situation. She helps this girl whenever she can, and even gives priority to her in the power-training tasks that the Internet cafe receives.

"Let's not talk about it for now. When the jealousy wakes up later, you can just take her up. The private rooms are all empty. You can choose yourselves." Yao Yuanyuan waved her hand to Xu Xing and returned to the front desk, "I'm busy first."

Xu Xing stretched out on the chair and saw that the time was just past seven in the morning. However, being interrupted by Yao Yuanyuan, he couldn't sleep for a while, so he simply got up and went to the restaurant next door to have breakfast.

When I came back, I brought two meat buns and a cup of soy milk and put them on Yanchi's vinegar table.

Yan Chijuan's sleeping position is more comfortable than Xu Xing's.

She was already petite, with her head leaning on the back of the chair, her legs stretched straight on her suitcase, her whole body barely stretched out, and she fell asleep on the chair.

But no matter what, sleeping like this is not as comfortable as sleeping in bed.

Xu Xing was inevitably a little touched when he thought that this girl had been sleeping like this for two years.

Looking at Yan Chijuan's delicate sleeping face in the dim environment of the Internet cafe, her hair was slightly messy, which made him want to help her brush away the messy hair and sleep more comfortably.

He didn't know if Xu Xing's eyes could also bring about touch. He didn't even look at it for a few seconds before Yan Chijuan's eyelashes fluttered twice and he opened his eyes in confusion.

"woke up?"

"Well..." Yan Chijue stretched out on the chair with difficulty and straightened his body.

After sitting up straight, she smelled the aroma coming from the table. She subconsciously opened the plastic bag and took a bite of the meat bun.

As a result, the meat juice inside was too hot, and she hissed and opened her mouth again, her cute and delicate look flashing in Xu Xing's eyes.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat yet." Xu Xing pulled her chair back, then picked up her suitcase, motioned for her to follow, turned and walked towards the second floor of the Internet cafe, "Take you to where we will be for the next two months.

Check out the studio."
