Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

The first time Xu Xing woke up and opened his eyes, he realized something was wrong.

There is an extra layer of warm quilt on my body.

This way of sleeping with a quilt and the air conditioner blowing on is indeed a great enjoyment in summer.

But Xu Xing clearly remembered that before he fell asleep, the quilt was neatly placed aside, and he didn't move it at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing couldn't help but raise his head and look back in the direction of Yan Chijuan.

Unexpectedly, Yan Chijiu also happened to look towards him with a guilty conscience, and the two people's eyes immediately met the radio wave.

Yan Chijuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around with a guilty conscience, leaving Xu Xing with a plump back of his head.

But Xu Xing already knew the answer.

This girl is quite good at taking care of people.

Lowering his head and sniffing the slightly fragrant sheets, Xu Xing couldn't help but feel some strange emotions in his heart, but they were quickly forgotten by him.

Lifting the quilt and sitting up, Xu Xing neatly folded the quilt again, got out of bed and stretched out by the window, squinting at the sunset outside the window, only to realize that it was already evening.

It seems that I haven’t replied to Xu Niannian just now.

So Xu Xing sat back in his seat and looked at the QQ chat history. Sure enough, Xu Niannian still couldn't control his temper and looked for him several times.

[Nian Nian]: Is sister here? What do you think?

[Nian Nian]: Do you have any comments to make?

[Nian Nian]: The painting style and everything can be changed. This is just my initial personal idea. Sister, if you have any suggestions, you can tell me directly.

Seeing Xu Niannian's cautious appearance on QQ, Xu Xing suddenly burst into laughter. It was hard to imagine what his cousin's expression and inner thoughts were like when she typed these sentences.

I really want to take a look if I get a chance.

Xu Xing sent her the documents he had compiled before and replied along the way.

[Jun Jiuer]: Go ahead and send me the renderings when they are basically formed.

【Niannian】:Okay!

Xu Niannian comes back in seconds.

It seems that he has been sitting in front of the computer, waiting for him to reply to the message.

The little girl is still too young.

We still don’t even know what kind of games this studio is working on, what games it has made before, its approximate level of strength, who its boss is, and who is responsible for the connection.

Moreover, the contract for the outsourced part-time job has not been signed yet, and he is already so humble.

To put it nicely, it sounds like he is humble, low-key, sensible and polite, but to put it badly, it means...well...thinking of this, Xu Xing felt that he was still a bit too harsh.

After all, Xu Niannian was just about to enter his junior year and had little social experience. It was normal for him to be so targeted and manipulated by an old man like himself that he could not withstand such an offensive.

Instead of struggling with others when she enters the workforce later, it would be better to study hard under her dear brother first.

After finishing Xu Niannian's side, it was almost six o'clock in the evening.

Yao Yuanyuan brought the food, and Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan finished their work for the day and chatted while having dinner.

Yao Yuanyuan next to her was not in a hurry to leave. She sat on the sofa and picked up snacks to eat without any courtesy.

"Why don't you leave?" Xu Xing glanced at this guy, "Don't worry about downstairs?"

"I asked someone to take over for me, so I can rest at night~" Yao Yuanyuan lay comfortably on the sofa, eating snacks and squinting her eyes comfortably, "Hey, how is the game you made? Can you play it?"

"It's still early," Xu Xing said, "I'll wait until the art resources are in place and the initial version is released before I can play it with you."

"Then what are you going to do after dinner?"

"Playing games." Xu Xing said matter-of-factly, "We combine work and rest, and we can also make some extra money."

"Then I'll come too!" Yao Yuanyuan immediately raised her hand and shouted, "It's been a long time since I played games with Juju."

Xu Xing didn't care. He glanced at Yan Chiju and saw her nodding in agreement, so he agreed.

After the two of them finished eating, Li Zhibin also rushed over.

"Is everything done at the supermarket?"

"Hey." Li Zhibin was a little proud. He didn't expect that he had such organizational skills. After taking care of his parents and classmates, the first day of supermarket work has been arranged for today, and the cost was only a dozen yuan. "Here I go."

If three students come to work on rotation, three students a day, it will only cost 450 yuan a month."

"Why did it become three?" Xu Xing asked curiously.

"Ahem." Speaking of this, Li Zhibin's face suddenly became strange, "Man A likes girl B, but girl B likes boy C, and there's nothing I can do about it..."

"Hiss..." Xu Xing smacked his lips after hearing this, and couldn't help but remind him, "Are you really not afraid of something happening?"

"What can I do... There are too few people who are in love with each other. Most of them have unrequited love." Li Zhibin said helplessly, "And the ones who are liked are basically concentrated on those three or four people."

This event allowed Li Zhibin to see what regrets were in high school.

Maybe many people can't talk about how much they love a certain boy or girl. At most, they just like the other person secretly because they are good-looking.

If there is no such fate, if you miss it, you will miss it. In a few years, you will probably forget this childish youth time.

But if there is such an opportunity to get along with the other party, most people will not refuse it.

It's a pity that no one cares about interesting souls, and there are only a few good-looking ones. There are always a few "hot sellers" in a class.

This is very embarrassing.

"You are stupid." Xu Xing pointed out again, "Can't you just not give money to those who have a crush on others? Just give more to those who have a crush on others."

"Damn it!" Li Zhibin couldn't help complaining, "Is this a supermarket experience that you've manipulated? Why does it feel like it's almost becoming a blind date?"

"This is called understanding and grasping the user's psychology and prescribing the right medicine." Xu Xing said seriously.

In the so-called dating clubs of later generations, men have to pay to join the club, but women can join for free. In fact, they all have similar routines and underlying logic.

How this supermarket event was carried out, whether it was effective, and whether it had any promotion value, these were not within Xu Xing's consideration.

He has only two purposes, one is to liberate Xu Niannian from the supermarket, and the other is to train Li Zhibin by the way.

Naturally, the instillation of some concepts and techniques is indispensable.

When doing business, you have to have a thick skin, otherwise you will be tied up in many things and you will not be able to do your best.

Just like what Xu Xing did, he essentially deceived Yan Chijue and Xu Niannian, right?

But people who know it don’t think Xu Xing is going too far.

At most, I think this piece of shit is really naughty and does every trick.

"What are you talking about?" Yao Yuanyuan next to her asked curiously.

"Nothing." Xu Xing interrupted the topic, "Do you want to fight? Let's go black."

…

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Zhibin went home first.

Xu Xing continued to fight until ten o'clock in the evening, then got up to pack his things and prepare to leave.

Yan Chijiu walked him to the door of the private room as a habit.

Before leaving, Xu Xing said: "I am going back to the countryside with my parents tomorrow to visit my grandparents. It will take about three or four days. Is it okay for you to be alone these days?"

"Ah?" Yan Chijiu was stunned for a moment, and then he subconsciously felt disappointed in his heart. He didn't answer Xu Xing's words, but blurted out and asked, "When will you be back around?"

"Uh..." Xu Xing didn't know what day he would be coming back. It was originally intended to be how many days he would be able to stay after he went back, but there was no exact number. "I'm not sure yet. Let's contact you via QQ. I'll let you know when I get back."

"Oh." Yan Chijiu lowered his head and looked at the two people's toes, "Then be careful on the road, I'll be fine."

"Well, bye then." Xu Xing waved his hand, turned around and went downstairs.

Yan Chijue watched his back disappear at the entrance of the corridor, then immediately walked into the private room and came to the window, waiting for Xu Xing to walk out of the Internet cafe door, and then watched him go away.

However, the next second, Yao Yuanyuan's teasing and meaningful voice sounded in her ears: "Tsk, tsk, your soul is about to be taken away!"

"Yeah!" Yan Chiju was startled and turned to look at Yao Yuanyuan. Then he remembered that Yao Yuanyuan was still in the private room, and his cheeks suddenly turned red, "I, I didn't..."

"I understand, I understand." Yao Yuanyuan has graduated from college, but she still doesn't know the little things girls have in mind. She laughed twice and said, "It's normal for a man to love a woman."

"What's more, Xu Xing's conditions are not bad. If you are really interesting, you have to grasp it well. Otherwise, when you enter university, there will probably be many people chasing him."

"We are closer to the water than to the moon. I am optimistic about you and jealous!"

Yan Chijiu waved her hands to deny what she said, and hesitantly said: "You, you think too much...I just...I am very grateful to him..."

When she finished speaking, her head almost dropped into the gap, and she spoke softer and quieter. In addition to being shy, she also felt inferior and timid.

"Don't tell him... okay?"

Listening to Yan Chijiu's almost pleading voice, Yao Yuanyuan could only nod in agreement with pity and helplessness.
