Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 183
In the small private room, the heat from the oven was radiating, and the aftertaste of the rice wine made people feel slightly hot.
Many people say they cannot see the future, but actually they can see the future?
Chen Jieyu was stunned for a moment when she heard Zachary Cheng's words, which seemed a bit confusing, but she quickly understood the meaning.
Yes, those people who say they can’t see the future really can’t see it?
Wrong, these people often see their own future.
It’s just that I don’t see a bright future, or the future I want, or the future I expect.
And this happens to be the norm in this fucking world.
Many people feel that they are the protagonists of the world when they are young.
But after entering society for a few years, people will slowly understand their own mediocrity, and then slowly begin to accept their own mediocrity.
Many people will realize that their future is likely to be decided at this moment.
As for Chen Jieyu?
What about her future?
She actually knew it very well, just like Ming Jing'er.
Zachary Cheng's words were like a knife piercing her heart.
When I returned to Hangzhou from my hometown, the tired feeling I felt while sitting on the train swept over me again.
She had only one thought at that time: she felt so tired, really tired, and she really hoped that she could change her way of life and live more easily.
Just when the beautiful counselor was a little lost, Zachary Cheng's words came to her ears again.
He seemed to always be a bit generous when talking to her, as if he didn't regard himself as a student.
"I said such philosophical and awesome things, why don't you ask me for a drink?" He tapped the wine glass on the table gently.
After saying the pretentious words, you have to praise yourself.
To be honest, as a born-again person, it is indeed difficult for him to completely regard himself as a freshman.
But he did regard Chen Jieyu as his teacher.
After all, what a wonderful identity a teacher is!
Chen Jieyu smiled bitterly and clinked glasses with him.
After drinking all the rice wine in the small cup, she looked at Zachary Cheng and said, "People like you rarely feel confused, right?"
In her opinion, Zachary Cheng should be the kind of person with very clear goals.
"I'm confused. I don't know how much money I can make in the future." He started again.
If an ordinary person said this, it would sound like they were unsure whether they would be able to make money in the future.
But when it comes out of his mouth, it means something else.
Chen Jieyu shook her head and laughed. This boy seemed to have this kind of behavior when he spoke to her.
Sometimes people, after talking about some in-depth topics, open their hearts to a certain extent, and then return to the original conversation rhythm, they will feel more open and relaxed.
Cheng Zhulao stabbed her heart with a knife, leaving her full of holes. She was starting to lose her temper. She really couldn't keep her guard up.
What's more, for her, he definitely captured the moment of her collapse when she was in the corridor of the East Building.
It was just that he took care of his emotions and face in a very natural way at that time.
But the strange thing is that you seemed to be very warm and emotionally intelligent at that time, but why did you change your face at the dinner table!
This made her feel a little confused about the boy in the class sitting in front of her. She thought he might be worse than she thought?
In the private room, the two of them had already finished their second bottle of rice wine.
The small wine pot is not big, and Chen Jieyu's drinking capacity seems to be okay.
Her emotions have been piling up during this period, and she actually needs an outlet in her heart, preferably someone to talk to.
But she never thought before that this person would be her creditor and her student.
In fact, she later thought that her usual packaging and carefully constructed persona might have collapsed in front of him.
Whether it's your makeup, your outfit, or your circle of friends, they are all packaged very delicately.
But in reality?
I can't even get 50,000 yuan.
At the same time, this also indirectly proves that her family background is not good.
She also wanted to live a good life, but the result was that she had to try her best to live a good life on the surface, let alone really live a good life.
In the end, almost all the barbecue on the table went into Zachary Cheng's stomach.
The two of them drank three bottles of rice wine in total.
He could see that this beautiful counselor was already getting drunk.
You can tell just by looking at her sitting posture.
The two well-proportioned calves wrapped in black stockings were now stacked on top of each other, and then tilted to the right together, with their knees pressed against the wall.
She supported her head with her right hand, while her left hand continued to gently rub circles along the edge of the cup.
The eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses have become completely hazy and blurred.
Even the plump lips were no longer tightly closed, but opened a tiny gap.
Her somewhat serious and ascetic temperament can be said to have completely disappeared.
In addition, Chen Jieyu was wearing an OL professional attire and exuded the aura of a mature woman, which made Cheng Zhudu feel that she was quite charming at this moment.
What's more, the two of them are still in a small box, and there is a slight sense of taboo caused by each other's identities.
"Can I still drink?" Zachary Cheng asked.
"Huh?" Chen Jieyu's eyes were half-draped. After hearing this, she raised her eyes and looked at him, maintaining her last trace of sobriety: "It's almost the same."
"Okay, then stop drinking." Zachary Cheng didn't pour the wine for her at first, only pouring it for himself.
Chen Jieyu looked at him and said abruptly: "What you just said about seeing the future is quite right."
"What the hell are you doing? Let me guess the mentality of Tai Chi. Listen and see if what I say is right."
He stared at Chen Jieyu's slightly red face, and the other party also looked at him.
"Have you read the book "Mountain and Moon"?" Zachary Cheng asked.
"No, but I've heard of it." Chen Jieyu replied.
"Me too." Zachary Cheng smiled: "I haven't read it either, but I know there are some interesting words in it."
"There is one passage in it. Let me read it to you and see if anyone can figure it out."
Zachary Cheng picked up his phone, entered a few keywords into Baidu based on his vague memory, and immediately found the original text of this paragraph.
"[I was deeply afraid that I was not a beautiful jade, so I didn't dare to study hard, but I half believed that I was a beautiful jade, so I didn't want to mediocrity and live among the rubble. So I gradually separated from the world and alienated the world, and the result was that Yes - letting resentment and shame increasingly fuel the cowardly self-esteem in my heart.]"
Chen Jieyu opened her mouth, intending to say something, but in the end she just remained silent.
She felt that she couldn’t say she had hit all of them, but she had hit most of them.
Especially that sentence - I half believe that I am a piece of beautiful jade.
When Zachary Cheng saw that she was silent, he grinned and said, "Did you get at least part of the truth right?"
Chen Jieyu looked at the smile on his face, bit her lower lip slightly, and finally laughed at herself and said, "You think it's funny too, right?"
However, Zachary Cheng stabbed her several times today and had no intention of stabbing her anymore.
It's time to give her some healing spells.
"Actually, I had a stage where it was a bit like what is said in this paragraph."
Zachary Cheng was telling the truth. It should have been when he had just graduated from college in his previous life and was in the early stages of starting a business.
But soon he was no longer like this.
Because he realized right away - I am a fucking piece of beautiful jade, and a top quality jade!
Carve! Carve it hard for me!
It's best to carve a dragon!
Chen Jieyu looked at him and said, "Really?"
"Ang. And to be honest, why should I think you are ridiculous? To be honest, given your conditions," he looked at Chen Jieyu before continuing: "In fact, there are many easier ways to live. ."
"Teacher Chen should have no shortage of suitors in school, right?" Zachary Cheng asked with a smile.
"If I put it more bluntly, maybe it's not just young people who are pursuing it, right?" he said.
Chen Jieyu heard this and did not refute.
What Zachary Cheng said was indeed correct. She had indeed had such an experience and had received hints from some middle-aged men.
"You seem to know this very well?" She suddenly said this in a teacher's tone.
She felt that because of their status, they unexpectedly came up with such a topic, and she couldn't help but say such a sentence, as if it was an occupational disease.
"I understand, otherwise why would I say that if you don't pay back the money, I will go to the forum and say that you are being kept by me?" Zachary Cheng's generous temper can be said to be on display steadily.
"You must not be short of girls to like you in school, right? It's easy to find a girlfriend. Who would think that you need to support others?" Chen Jieyu said.
"This is not the same thing. A girlfriend is a girlfriend, and support is support. And some of them can't be said to be support. They are just pure lovers." When they reached the professional field, Zachary Cheng became more excited.
――Let me talk to you carefully!
"Stop it, stop it." Chen Jieyu felt that she was getting drunker. She held her forehead slightly and quickly interrupted him.
She drank a little too much, and then stayed in a small space with a tall and handsome student, chatting about such topics, which made her feel a sense of taboo.
Zachary Cheng smiled and just made some random jokes with her.
"Since you can't drink anymore, let's go. The chauffeurs I ordered have arrived." Zachary Cheng said.
Didi Daidai appeared in 2015, but in 2014, there were actually many people doing it, but there was no super big platform.
In many cities, there are actually companies that specialize in driving services.
But later Didi directly dominated.
Chen Jieyu stood up holding the table, and then began to put on her suit jacket.
Slippers were required to enter the box, so her feet were only wrapped in a layer of black stockings, and the black stockings on her calves seemed to be a little snagged, probably because they were accidentally scratched somewhere.
After the two put on their shoes, Zachary Cheng received a call from the driver, and then waved to her to follow him.
After getting into the car, she sat in the back and Zachary Cheng sat in the passenger seat.
It turned out that the driver was a very talkative person. As soon as he got in the car, he praised the car very much and said that his dream car was this Land Rover Discovery.
The two men just sat in front and talked about cars.
Well, man, it’s hard to resist talking about cars!
Just like it's hard not to talk about women.
Chen Jieyu sat in the back without saying a word. As the car drove, she began to feel more and more dizzy.
Not long after, the Land Rover drove near the gate of Polytechnic University.
Before getting off the car, she realized something.
"Zachary Cheng, did you pay for the order just now?" Chen Jieyu remembered that she didn't pay for the meal.
"Master, just stop here." Zachary Cheng first started to chase people away, then turned to look at Chen Jieyu who was sitting in the back seat: "Of course I bought it a long time ago, otherwise the boss would treat us to something to eat?" "
"But today I agreed to invite you."
"No need, you are not sincere at the dinner table."
"No, no, I was really a little dizzy when I left, so I just followed you out." Chen Jieyu explained quickly.
Although she is in financial distress now, she must pay for this meal.
"I'm not saying you're not sincere because you didn't pay earlier. I mean, you want to treat me to dinner because I lent you money and helped your family solve problems, right?" Zachary Cheng said.
"But Teacher Chen, you didn't tell me the truth about the real use of this money. Is my guess right?" The creditor stared at the debtor and said
