Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 231

On the far left side of the lawn, Chen Jieyu drank two-thirds of the red wine in one gulp, frowning slightly.

Drinking such a large glass in one breath would still cause her body to feel temporary discomfort.

They are now playing Truth or Dare, and the penalty for drinking is set to be relatively high.

In this way, everyone is actually forced to answer questions and complete tasks.

Among the people present, except Zachary Cheng, everyone was a little confused as to why Chen Jieyu was drinking?

They speculated that Teacher Chen probably didn’t have a boyfriend. Otherwise, why shouldn’t he admit it?

People like Dong Dong and others thought: "It seems that there is someone I like, but I don't want to tell him about it."

"Hey, there must be someone hidden in your heart that you can't love!"

The three naughty dogs smelled a hint of gossip.

Our Teacher Chen is so beautiful, but there is still a man she can’t win over?

Which man is so awesome?

Damn it, he really deserves to die!

The girls began to have random thoughts: "Has Teacher Chen been hurt in any way, but she still can't let go of that person, so she doesn't want to talk about this topic. Then she gets upset and takes the initiative to find a drink."

"It felt like her expression just now was a bit complicated."

Only Zachary Cheng turned his head and glanced at her deeply, with some guessing in his heart.

Chen Jieyu looked at him, who had been looking at her, but her eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses actually dodge away.

It was this dodge that allowed Zachary Cheng to capture some more information.

He knew very well that there were only a few possibilities for choosing not to answer such an easy question.

Or maybe I don’t want to talk to students about this because of my status, but if that’s the case, why don’t you just sit here and have fun? They were all drinking together with the students, but it wasn't actually a big deal.

Or there really is someone I don’t want to mention.

Of course, it is indeed possible to have a person whom you cannot love.

However, there is another possibility.

That's why she avoids this question because of the person in her heart
Just sit here!

At this moment, truth or dare continues.

Zachary Cheng picked up the red wine and began to pour wine into Chen Jieyu's glass. According to the rules, he poured it to two-thirds of the glass.

He had drank with her and knew that her drinking capacity was actually quite good.

But there was definitely a huge gap between him and the wine gods he had encountered in his previous life.

However, he felt that the game should be over before Chen Jieyu drank too much.

With Liu Feng and others' drinking capacity, they couldn't play this game for more than a few rounds.

After about half an hour, Zachary Cheng could tell that they had drunk too much.

For example, Liu Feng helped Chen Tingting drink once. She had a poor drinking capacity and wanted to act like a hero, but Chen Tingting was very sober.

It's almost time to break up here.

At this moment, Chen Jieyu's phone lit up and received a text message.

She glanced down, her eyes dimming slightly.

"What's wrong?" Zachary Cheng asked casually.

"Nothing, the phone is in arrears." She answered the situation truthfully, but didn't say much else.

It really rained all night when the house was leaking.

Sometimes life is so weird. The more money you have, the more things you have to spend money on will come one after another.

Zachary Cheng looked at her and didn't ask any questions.

Now the game can no longer continue. If you want to drink more, you can play here for a while. If you don't want to drink, you can go back to your room.

Zachary Cheng and Chen Jieyu got up and went upstairs together, but Zachary Cheng still held the wine bottle in his hand.

"Are you worried lately?" Walking on the stairs, this 'male bestie' started to ask.

"That's right." Chen Jieyu nodded.

"Let's chat?" he asked.

"Where to go?"

"Go to the living room of my room," he said.

Chen Jieyu was already a little tipsy, but she still looked around instinctively.

"Don't worry, there's no one." Zachary Cheng shook his head and laughed.

But it's true. After drinking, the counselor and the student walked into the same room together. If someone saw this, it would be okay!

Therefore, after entering the room this time, Chen Jieyu closed the door at the speed of light.

The two sat on the sofa again.

Zachary Cheng picked up the cup in the room and planned to go to the bathroom to wash it.

Before washing, he asked: "Do you still want to drink?"

He didn't ask if you could still drink.

After Chen Jieyu thought for a while, she nodded slightly.

It's a rare trip out to relax completely.

She wanted to forget these troubles, talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow, and think about future difficulties later.

This counselor is actually feeling a bit depressed right now.

On the one hand, it’s that question you get when you play Truth or Dare.

She actually has the answer in her heart, and she knows it very well.

However, perhaps because of taboos or other reasons, she herself was unwilling to face it or face it.

Maybe even because of low self-esteem?

In addition, she had been deliberately not thinking about the embarrassment of her current life today.

But the sudden text message about overdue mobile phone brought her back to her original state.

Now, she has to choose to recharge her phone bill little by little. After using up a little, she will recharge some more.

Chen Jieyu can endure poverty and abjection.

Children who have not received much love since childhood have long been used to this.

Her pain mainly comes from the fact that she always feels that she has settled in Hangzhou, has a stable job, and has a new life!

But this time the 50,000 yuan made her realize that it didn't.

She even lost her only hope in this family.

At this moment, Zachary Cheng washed the water glasses and placed one in front of her.

When he poured the cider into two glasses, he poured a little for her and a little more for himself.

"You have been drinking red wine just now. It is best not to mix the wine with others, so don't drink too much." He gave a warm reminder.



He didn't want to see this abstinent counselor wearing gold-rimmed glasses lying on the toilet in his room and vomiting.

That's too devastating.

Chen Jieyu nodded slightly.

"Tell me what's on your mind." Zachary Cheng said.

The other party glanced at him, then lowered his head, put his finger on the cup, gently turned the cup, and whispered: "Zachary Cheng, do you think I am a fake person, that my life is fake and hypocritical, or that Live a vain life."

Zachary Cheng smiled and said directly: "Yes!"

"You're not fucking talking nonsense, of course you are," he added.

Chen Jieyu looked at the wine in the cup and fell into a long silence.

Yes, her carefully packaged persona had completely collapsed in front of him. Of course he would feel that she was fake.

Moreover, perhaps to a truly wealthy person, her "refined poverty" should be obvious.

Several times she wanted to defend herself and tell her the reasons and why she was like this, but in the end she hesitated.

Zachary Cheng smiled and continued, "Do you know why many people find socializing tiring?"

"Why?" She is also the kind of person who finds social interaction very difficult.

"The reason socializing is tiring is because many people try to show qualities they don't have." Zachary Cheng said what some people look like when socializing.

He is okay because he lives a free and easy life.

For example, if you want to show off, just show off, no matter what!

Of course, the consequence is - I am reborn.

"Actually, you don't need to tell me this. Have you forgotten the passage in "The Story of the Mountain and the Moon" that I talked about when I had a drink with you last time?"

Chen Jieyu nodded slightly: "I remember it. Later I went to the library to borrow this book and I have finished reading it."

"Oh, don't talk to me about the content of this book. I haven't read it, I've only seen some fragments." Zachary Cheng didn't pretend to be knowledgeable.

She looked at his appearance and smiled.

The two raised their glasses and each took a small sip.

The wine was getting stronger, and Chen Jieyu felt a little hot, so she took off her thin coat, wearing only a silk shirt.

This skin-friendly material can fully show off her slim body curves.

It's just that after a person drinks a little too much, her body will naturally sag a little.

This makes the long hair look more disheveled, but the ascetic feeling on the body has indeed weakened a bit.

Zachary Cheng sat across from her like this, and the two of them chatted.

Occasionally, they would raise their wine glasses together and take a sip of fruit wine.

In fact, through some of Chen Jieyu's words and deeds tonight, Zachary Cheng had already obtained her answer in the truth or dare game.

Come on, it's almost late at night now.

Even drinking with a member of the opposite sex in the room, still chatting openly, showing one's vulnerability, and really just treating him as a male best friend?

Of course, Zachary Cheng could probably guess what was on her mind and what was worrying her.

He speculated that it might still be related to the original family.

This thing is not something you can choose, but it is difficult to break away from.

The suffering caused by a bad native family will come from time to time.

He suddenly thought of Chen Jieyu's ending in his previous life.

There must be a lot missing in her heart.

Moreover, does this kind of person who is used to living a strong life really feel that it doesn't matter that he is helpless?

Does she really not care about someone who has never been pampered since she was a child?

Of course not.

Fortunately, when Zachary Cheng really wanted to comfort someone, he still had some ability in this area.

He will say a lot of things that sound reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, they are all nonsense. There are also some gags interspersed in the middle. Anyway, he is generous to begin with, so you will only find him acting in his true self, which will be a bit funny.

First, I'll get you in and make you confused, and then change the subject to make you laugh.

The problem is definitely not that easy to solve. A few words can't solve it. He hasn't thought about what problem he can solve for her now.

As a scumbag, I may not be able to give you anything else, but I will definitely give you a lot of emotional value.

At the end, Chen Jieyu raised her eyes to look at him and said softly: "Thank you for comforting me. I feel better."

Zachary Cheng looked at her red cheeks and slightly blurred eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses, feeling the taboo and ambiguity of being in the same room with an alcoholic counselor.

He knew very well what the woman in front of him needed and what she longed for in her heart.

He also knew very well which method was the most fatal to her.

Do you want to thank me for comforting you?

Zachary Cheng leaned forward slightly and said in a very calm tone:

"No, I think I'm trying to trick you."
