Along the way, Wang Zibo talked a lot, but Chen Hansheng basically did not respond. He was trying to adapt to Hong Kong 17 years ago.
After graduating from university, Chen Hansheng felt that the economic development of his hometown was not good, so he stayed in the provincial capital, Jianye. Occasionally, he would go home to see his parents, but he came and went in a hurry, so he did not have time to pay attention to the changes in his hometown.
Only in the early morning when he was drunk would he feel touched and reminisce. But the next day, it was quickly replaced by the busy reality.
"What's the point of being reborn like me?"
Chen Hansheng felt very depressed. In 2019, he had money and status, a company, and subordinates. He did not meet the basic requirements of a reborn person who was cuckolded, had both parents dead, was poor, and suffered from hunger and cold.
"Damn it, I really didn't want to be reborn!"
Chen Hansheng could not help but curse. Wang Zibo was talking about the embarrassing incident last night when Chen Hansheng was drunk and insisted on confessing to Xiao Rongyu. He was stunned for a moment, "Are you listening to me?"
"Oh, I'm listening."
Chen Hansheng casually said, and then touched his pocket. There was no wallet, no mobile phone, and no express payment. He sighed and said to Wang Zibo, "Do you have money? I want to buy something from the convenience store."
"Do you want to buy water?"
Wang Zibo was considerate. He knew that his mouth would be dry after a hangover, and it was quite hot today.
"What do you want to drink, Jianlibao or Coke?"
Wang Zibo was going to buy him a meal.
"Mineral water is fine, and a pack of cigarettes." Chen Hansheng replied.
Wang Zibo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chen Hansheng, "When did you learn to smoke? Why didn't I know?"
Chen Hansheng was a little impatient. Why didn't he feel that his childhood friend was so long-winded? He waved his hand and said, "I'm not in a good mood, so I'm smoking to relieve my boredom."
Wang Zibo hesitated for a while, but he still went to buy cigarettes obediently. The convenience store was right outside Harbor City No.1 Middle School. Chen Hansheng looked at the wide iron gate and thought to himself, "These are the memories of my three years in high school."
After a while, Wang Zibo came back. "Here's your cigarette."
"Heh, how long has it been since I last saw Hongpagoda Mountain?"
Chen Hansheng couldn't help but laugh. Ever since he started working, he rarely smoked this brand. He skillfully tore open the packaging and handed one to Wang Zibo. "Do you want one?"
Wang Zibo hesitated for a while, but in the end, he decided to smoke one with his brother.
Wang Zibo was still a typical student with a thin-skinned face. Unlike Chen Hansheng, who had been ravaged by the society, Wang Zibo obviously had a different standard of doing things.
Chen Hansheng directly rolled up his trousers to his knees, sat on the curb and puffed out smoke. He narrowed his eyes and thoughtfully looked at the students passing by.
Wang Zibo was bashful. When he smoked, he even turned his head and took a quick puff. Then, he hid the cigarette butt behind his back and blew out wisps of smoke from his mouth, just like a f * cking crane flask.
Wang Zibo smoked carefully, but when he glanced at Chen Hansheng, he commented, "Xiao Chen, your smoking posture is very cool."
Chen Hansheng was an old smoker. Even the way he flicked the ash was very rhythmic.
"Practice makes perfect."
Chen Hansheng replied indifferently. Wang Zibo was even more envious. Chen Hansheng's expression at this time was both pretentious and annoying, but it was really quite handsome.
Before he finished smoking, a group of people rode over from not far away. Wang Zibo quickly extinguished the cigarette butt and reminded Chen Hansheng, "Throw it away quickly."
Wang Zibo's action also shocked Chen Hansheng, "There are teachers in there?"
"There is no teacher. They are all our classmates," Wang Zibo explained.
Chen Hansheng originally wanted to throw it away, but when he heard this, he took it back. He respected the profession of a teacher, but what was so good about high school classmates? They had already graduated, so what?
This group of students was probably also here to get the admission letter. They were looking forward to college life, talking and laughing along the way. When they passed by Chen Hansheng and Wang Zibo, they all stopped.
Chen Hansheng's current appearance was very sloppy. He was tired after a hangover, and also confused after being reborn. He sat on his back with a cigarette in his mouth. If it weren't for his 18-year-old face, he would have looked like a middle-aged greasy uncle.
His classmates looked at Chen Hansheng in surprise. In a school like Harbor City No.1 Middle School, female students were not allowed to have long hair, so smoking was almost a sign of depravity.
"Are you all going to get the admission letter?"
Wang Zibo felt that it was necessary to say something.
The group of students didn't say anything. They turned their eyes to a girl in the middle.
This girl was very beautiful. The hem of her skirt fluttered gently in the evening summer wind, giving off a bright and lively vibe. She was at least 1.67 meters tall. Because of the hot weather, her face was rippling with a faint blush. Her nose was straight, her lips were red, and her chin was white. Her eyes were clear and bright under her thick eyelashes, and her soft hair naturally fell to her shoulders.
When the girl stopped her orange bicycle and walked over, Chen Hansheng could even smell the faint fragrance of lilies.
"Chen Hansheng, how can you smoke!"
Her voice was very pleasant, but there was a hint of anger in it.
Chen Hansheng couldn't remember who she was. He could only turn his head and look at Wang Zibo. Wang Zibo didn't understand his intention, and also stared at him. Chen Hansheng had no choice but to ask, "Who are you?"
"Wow."
The group of prospective college students sighed, especially the girls couldn't help but shake their heads. The TV dramas were right. Men changed their hearts really quickly. Last night, he confessed to someone, but after being rejected, he pretended not to know her.
"Hansheng, you shouldn't be like this."
Another boy walked out of the crowd. He was tall and had a warm smile. "Smoking is not your style. I hope you can walk out of the shadow of heartbreak and welcome a better tomorrow. We are all looking forward to your improvement."
These words sounded like comforting and encouraging, but there was always a kind of hypocrisy and condescension. Chen Hansheng had been a boss for so many years. Although he wasn't arrogant, he didn't like to be stepped on by others, especially when they were not familiar with each other.
Even though Chen Hansheng was sitting on the ground, he raised his head and puffed out his chest. His eyes were calm as he silently stared at the boy who was talking. It wasn't until the boy felt uncomfortable that Chen Hansheng said with a sense of scrutiny, "Who the f * ck are you?"
A man with a successful career not only had a generous temperament, but also had a strong sense of dignity. How could a kid who hadn't stepped into society compare to him? Even if he was in the realm of acting tough, he probably couldn't see Chen Hansheng's exhaust, so he was defeated as soon as he came into contact with him.
"You are so disappointing."
The boy threw out a sentence that sounded fierce but was weak at heart. Then, he said to the beautiful girl, "Rong Yu, let's go. Don't care about this kind of person."
The girl didn't listen. She walked closer to Chen Hansheng and said, "If you want to pretend not to know, then I can't do anything about it. But last night, I made it very clear that I don't want to be friends before I graduate."
"If you smoke again, I will tell your mother."
Chen Hansheng was stunned for a moment. He had just traveled back in time 18 years ago, so he didn't want to greet his parents in this way. Moreover, today was the day to receive the admission letter, so there were already a lot of passing students who stopped to watch.
Chen Hansheng thought for a moment, then obediently threw away the cigarette butt.
The girl smiled with a trace of pride. She took out a bottle of mineral water from the basket and said, "Wash your face. We will go get the admission letter later."
"Thank you, I have my own."
Chen Hansheng directly refused.
"Tsk, the old trick of loosening the reins only to grasp them better. You pretend to be cold after your confession failed." The boy just now said with disdain.
However, the girl was quite stubborn. Even though Chen Hansheng didn't want it, she still put the water at Chen Hansheng's feet. Then, with a cold snort, she pushed the cute orange bicycle into the school.
After they had completely left, Chen Hansheng suddenly realized, "She must be Xiao Rongyu."
"Don't pretend in front of me."
Wang Zibo said somewhat discontentedly, "I know that you feel bad after your confession was rejected, but we are good brothers, if you have anything to say, you can say it to me."
Wang Zibo also thought that Chen Hansheng just now was doing it on purpose, his goal was to save his face.
Chen Hansheng also didn't know how to explain, and could only pat on Wang Zibo's shoulder, "After being admitted to university, you are already an adult. Feeling bad alone is an excellent quality of an adult."
