Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 232

In Zachary Cheng's room, Chen Jieyu listened to his words and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him.

Endless surprise first appeared in her eyes, and then her eyes gradually became more and more complicated. Finally, she could only quickly lower her head, staring at the wine glass in her hand.

She didn't want Zachary Cheng to see that her eyes were slightly red under her gold-rimmed glasses.

Comfort is a very common word.

But the word coax is not.

For many girls who grew up surrounded by love, it may be nothing.

If Lin Lu were present, she might have said, while her heartbeat was slightly accelerating, "Hey, you're a little oily!"

But Chen Jieyu is different.

The word coax, the word that most people think of, may be coaxing a child.

But looking at her childhood, is this the case?

She is just an unwanted daughter in the family, a girl who has been labeled a loser since she was born.

She lives a cautious life at home and does not dare to make mistakes.

She has been helping with housework at home since she was a child. Children sometimes make unintentional mistakes, but what awaits her will be rage, even beatings and scoldings.

Moreover, the more you cry, the harder the other party will scold and beat you.

The other person will only become more irritated.

She had never experienced such a thing as being coaxed.

Even her mother, who was her only spiritual support, would only mention the word "sensible" to her repeatedly.

Of course, occasionally there are also "be strong", "be obedient", "admit your mistake", "be sweeter", etc.

When she went to college, she worked hard for scholarships and worked as a student to earn money.

After entering the society with half a foot early, it is natural that they will be severely beaten by society.

People like her who came to a big city from a small place can clearly feel how out of tune they are here.

It was a very hard journey for her, and she had to hold on all by herself.

She has also heard some words of comfort, but sometimes you can only get short-term comfort if you tear open your wounds and show them to your friends.

You think that the other person is a closed tree hole, but he may use your suffering as a talking point to the outside world.

What you get in exchange later will be even greater pain.

For Chen Jieyu, she needs emotional value too much.

But this thing, Cheng Zhutai will give it to him.

Just a simple word of coaxing would be extremely destructive to her, and it would suddenly make her emotional again, and she would lose all her armor.

Chen Jieyu has long been accustomed to internal friction.

But the strange thing is that these two encounters with Zachary Cheng, they would collapse emotionally and "embarrass themselves" in front of him.

"Didn't you say you were in a better mood? Why are you still crying?" Zachary Cheng got up and went to the bedside to get some paper and handed it to her.

Sometimes, crying is quite magical.

You might just cry secretly, hold it back for a while and then hold it back.

But others pointed it out and asked why you were crying. My dear, suddenly the tears will be like incontinence. You can't help it at all, and they will continue to flow out on their own.

Zachary Cheng looked at Chen Jieyu, who had been dropping little pearls, and sat across from her without saying a word.

It's not that he, a bitch, really doesn't want to be comforted, it's just that he thinks: "In this state, the ears may be the same as deaf, and they can't hear what you are saying at all."

He felt that Chen Jieyu was already immersed in her own emotions at this moment.

Her perception of the outside world is weakening.

In fact, it is.

Of course, the initiator must be this piece of shit Zachary Cheng.

He is poking people's hearts.

To be honest, Chen Jieyu is definitely younger than he was before his rebirth.

However, compared with him now, Chen Jieyu is many years older.

What's more, he is a student and she is a counselor.

However, if you take a closer look at some men getting along or falling in love with women who are older than themselves, some men will use a trick, that is, they will insist on calling each other: sister.

There is a secret here, you can taste it carefully.

Of course, if you want to be your sister's little puppy, that's another story, it's another route.

What Zachary Cheng just did is actually somewhat similar to this kind of behavior.

Chen Jieyu cried like this for several minutes, and Zachary Cheng kept passing her new tissues.

Finally, when she took another tissue, she whispered: "Thank you."

Cheng Zhuze leaned down slightly, then looked at her face, and said in a teasing tone: "It's okay this time, the eye makeup is not stained."

This immediately reminded her of the last time she was in front of him and her eye makeup was all stained.

"I didn't draw today." She put down the tissue and said.



Chen Jieyu didn't wear eyeliner or mascara at all today.

Zachary Cheng smiled, sat on the sofa chair, lifted a corner of the window screen, and looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Then, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Good guy, I got something out of this casual look!

"Look outside." He began to invite Chen Jieyu to eat melon together.

The counselor glanced at him with her still slightly red eyes, and then looked out the French window with a puzzled look on her face.

Soon, a slight surprise appeared on her face.

They caught Liu Feng and Chen Tingting kissing!

"Of the three adopted sons, Liu Feng is the one who wins my heart the most."

"Based on respect for women."

"Forget it, I won't take pictures anymore!" Zachary Cheng thought to himself.

If this was photographed and sent to Chuan'er, Chuan'er would probably die on the spot.

Zachary Cheng witnessed this scene purely as a spectator, but Chen Jieyu was completely different.

After she and another man drank a lot of wine, it was enough for her to be alone in the same room, and they actually watched other men and women making out downstairs.

This made her feel a little bit ashamed. Fortunately, after the alcohol touched her face, her cheeks were already slightly red.

It's late at night now, and many students have probably gone back to their rooms. There should be no one on the big lawn.

Liu Feng and Chen Tingting were now in a remote corner with no one around, and they thought they were living in a world of two.

But Zachary Cheng's room was originally at the deepest part of the corridor, the innermost room, so he could see it.

The only thing to blame is the darkness around here. Liu Feng didn't dare to take Chen Tingting to places too far for fear of an accident.

From Zachary Cheng's point of view, it was normal for a young couple to have a little intimacy together.

Young people, you can understand, you can understand!

But Chen Jieyu couldn't help but get up, put down the window screen that Zachary Cheng had raised, and then simply closed all the curtains in the room.

"Stop looking," she said.

"Huh?" Zachary Cheng raised his eyes to look at her and nodded: "Okay."

In fact, he didn't have much desire to spy on them. At first, he just wanted to confirm whether they were the squad leader and the league secretary.

"I'll go to the bathroom then." Chen Jieyu said.

"Okay." Zachary Cheng nodded.

When Chen Jieyu walked into the bathroom, she didn't want to go to the bathroom, but stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.

Fortunately, my cheeks were just red, and then my eyes were red.

She turned on the faucet, washed her hands first, then dipped a paper towel in some water, and gently pressed it on the corners of her eyes.

After the counselor put on the gold-rimmed glasses again, he put his hands on the sink, took a deep breath, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

She could feel herself falling again tonight.

Although she had drunk alcohol, at least her brain could still stay awake at the moment.

This is the most terrible thing.

Another sober sinking.

I clearly feel that I am sinking

When Chen Jieyu walked out of the bathroom, Zachary Cheng happened to be pouring wine into his wine glass.

He raised his head and glanced at the counselor who was walking towards her. He felt that the straight, loose trousers she wore were indeed not as good as a professional skirt, and were a little tasteless.

The last time I went out to drink with her, she was wearing a skirt and stockings.

But at the back, the stockings were hooked and a slit was opened, adding a touch of charm.

Zachary Cheng seriously suspected that Chen Jieyu always bought some OL-style clothes for easy matching and to save money.

Some people don't think too much when buying things.

For example, if you see a piece of clothing and you like it, you buy it. After I bought it home, I found that there were no pants or shoes that could match it.

In the end, I had to buy pants and shoes just for it.

As for the OL style in the workplace, the overall style is actually relatively uniform, and they are all more formal.

It will be more worry-free to match, and in many cases it can also show more texture.

After Chen Jieyu sat down on the sofa, Zachary Cheng took the wine bottle and asked, "Are you still drinking? You didn't drink too much, right?"

"Drink a little." Chen Jieyu saw that he had just poured wine into her wine glass, so she thought about drinking a little more with him.

The two of them drank and chatted like this.

The counselor's chat box has opened up a bit, and he is willing to talk more about his own affairs.

She would occasionally ask Zachary Cheng about his family situation.

But the good news is that Zachary Cheng's family is known to favor girls over boys. Neighbors, relatives and friends all know that little Youzi was raised as a princess, and Zachary Cheng was a guard with a sword in front of him until he died.

Compared with Chen Jieyu's family situation, this is in extremely sharp contrast.

"Then your sister must be a very lively and cute little girl." She said softly.

"Of course." Zachary Cheng turned on his phone and took out a photo of Xiaoyouzi to show her.

After reading it to her, he smiled and said, "Actually, one of the original intentions of opening a claw machine store was to open it for my sister."

"Of course, she is eyeing the milk tea shop now."

Chen Jieyu smiled accordingly. Although she was envious in her heart, she was already a little used to it.

She was born in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, which is actually a relatively light place in the country in terms of favoring sons over daughters.

But this phenomenon will definitely still exist everywhere.

It's just that she grew up in the Sichuan and Chongqing area, and she met few female classmates in similar situations to her. On the contrary, she met more female classmates who were loved by their parents.

Zachary Cheng's cell phone rang at this time, and he picked it up and looked at it.

Unexpectedly, it was a WeChat message from Hu Yan.

It was a newly painted self-portrait of hers.

Ever since he slipped and sent the self-portrait to Zachary Cheng last night, the two of them seemed to have returned to their original state.

As soon as she has new paintings, she will still send them to Zachary Cheng and her junior sister immediately.

This kind of thing was taboo last night simply because the boss had just sent me back to the hotel, and I sent him this picture in a bathrobe. It was too tempting.

It doesn't matter today. After all, the boss went on an autumn trip and is staying in a B&B outside. He won't be back today.

"Drawing again? You've been drawing a lot lately." Zachary Cheng typed in reply.

"I had a huge burst of inspiration, and I feel like I'm going to make progress again." Hu Yan answered truthfully.

My pen is out of control, and inspiration gushes out.

She returned to the hotel after dinner, but today her junior sister Yue Lingjing slept with her in the hotel, so Yue Lingjing was also there.

She went to the bathroom to draw it alone. After all, she would still feel ashamed if she made some strange poses in front of her junior sister.

By the way, Hu Yan also suggested that Yue Lingjing be her model, and she would also draw one for Yue Lingjing.

As a result, she rejected him in a panic with a red face!

After Zachary Cheng briefly chatted with Hu Yan for a few words, he put down his phone.

What he was feeling at the moment was actually very strange.

Sitting in front of her was a counselor who had drunk a lot of alcohol. A man and a woman were alone in the same room. She had cried just now and was in a very fragile emotional stage.

Then, I just sat in front of her, looking at the self-portraits that other girls sent me!

Gee, it still feels like playing with fire!

What's even more outrageous is that Hu Yan's outfit in today's comics is a very loose shirt.

There is only one shirt.

It's roughly like the feeling you get when you wake up early in the morning and find that the woman next to you has no change of clothes and is wearing a shirt from your wardrobe.

And Chen Jieyu, who was sitting opposite him, was also wearing a white silk shirt, wasn't she?

It can be said that each has its own merits.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jieyu asked when she saw Zachary Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at her clothes.

"Nothing." Zachary Cheng drank the wine in the glass helplessly.

He was using this to suppress the flame that was rising slightly in his heart.

What a fox, you were very good at choosing the right time to post pictures yesterday, which affected my sleep, and you are even more good at choosing the right time to post pictures today!

At this moment, the two heard some noise on the corridor outside the room.

Probably a few boys went back to the room.

Some of the boys didn't know whether it was because they were drunk or because they were born with loud voices, but they could be heard clearly through the door.

"Damn it, it's rare to go out for an autumn outing. I spent the whole day playing "Sheep Got a Sheep"!"

Zachary Cheng recognized this voice and it was Zhou Kang.

"Have you passed?"

"It's too much! You can't even pass this game even if Einstein comes!"

"I just told you to come over and have a drink, but you insist on fighting with it! You're an idiot!"

Chen Jieyu raised her head, looked at Zachary Cheng and smiled.

Cheng Zhuze said softly: "Believe it or not, Zhou Kang will continue to play when he lies in bed later."

"I believe it, I believe it." Chen Jieyu nodded slightly, but did not refute this.

The two probably guessed that most of the students should have returned to their rooms by now.

It is already twelve o'clock in the evening, and it is getting colder and colder outside. Many people go upstairs because they are freezing.

Anyway, even if you want to continue playing and drinking, you can still do it in the room.

Zachary Cheng continued to pour himself wine, and then only poured half a glass for Chen Jieyu.

"We're talking here, so the neighbors can't hear us, right?" Chen Jieyu asked suddenly.

As everyone knows, when a man and a woman are alone in the same room, if you say something like a guilty conscience, it will actually further exaggerate the ambiguous atmosphere.

Zachary Cheng pointed to the wall in front of him: "This wall in the living room is connected to the next door."

"The room is quite far apart. If you're worried, can we go inside to drink?"



After saying that, he stood up directly.

Then, he lowered his head and looked at her.

Chen Jieyu had no choice but to stand up and pick up her wine glass.

Zachary Cheng's room was the largest room in the entire B&B, and it was quite spacious inside.

He sat directly on the carpet beside the bed, then patted the place next to him and motioned for Chen Jieyu to sit down.

"With the sound insulation of this room, as long as you don't shout in my room, no one will hear you." He said.

"Why am I yelling in your room?" Chen Jieyu muttered angrily, then sat down slowly.

She and Zachary Cheng were not sitting close to each other, but they were not too far away either.

There is a wine pot and two wine glasses in the middle.

There was a small Bluetooth speaker in the room, so he asked, "Can I play some songs?"

After he connected the Bluetooth of the stereo with his mobile phone, he opened his playlist and started random play.

The sound of music flowed in the room, it was Mayday's "Embrace".

Zachary Cheng just clicked it casually, but he didn't expect that the lyrics of this song were quite suitable for the occasion.

"Hide your tiredness,

To express one's embarrassment,

Indulge your own wildness,

Find your own tomorrow. "

In other words, the third sentence is not very suitable for the moment.

Zachary Cheng sat cross-legged on the carpet and leaned against the wall. He didn't look at her, but asked, "You haven't had any difficulties in your life recently, right?"

"It's nothing. Who doesn't have some difficulties in life?" Chen Jieyu asked.

"I'm fine, it's going well." This bitch Zachary Cheng started again.

Perhaps because of the influence of alcohol, Chen Jieyu, who was usually unsmiling and serious, gave him an annoyed look.

Not to mention, it is quite charming.

"Have you seen "The Killer Isn't Too Cold"?" Chen Jieyu asked.

"I've seen it. You want to say that line? Let me think about it and how it was said."

"Is life always this painful, or is it only like this when you are a child?" He remembered the line the little girl said to the killer Leon in the movie.

Chen Jieyu replied with Leon's reply in the movie: "It's always like this."

"Tsk, you're a counselor, but your psychology is a bit unsatisfactory." Zachary Cheng looked at her and said.

"Didn't you tell me that? You said: A person who says she can't see her future often means she sees her own future."

"What the hell! Can you blame me for this? It's your own pessimistic attitude towards life, I just pointed it out." Zachary Cheng's main product is a non-stick pan.

Talking about this, he couldn't help but think of Chen Jieyu's ending in the timeline of her previous life. She attempted suicide and then left the Polytechnic University.

Zachary Cheng felt that at this stage, she probably wouldn't want to commit suicide.

She just lived a hard and tiring life, but she could still clearly feel that she was struggling.

So, according to her original life trajectory, what caused her to want to give up her life?

Zachary Cheng had no answer for this.

Because in his previous life, he had only heard all kinds of messy versions and rumors, and he couldn't tell which ones were true and which ones were rumors.

And in this life, he is a reborn person, and he will undoubtedly change the life trajectory of everyone around him invisibly.

So, I'm afraid I won't get the answer either.

Time passed and it was half past twelve.

Although the two of them drank very slowly, mainly chatting, he still noticed that Chen Jieyu probably drank too much.

When she picked up the jug and was about to pour the wine, he raised his hand and pressed the jug.

"Stop it, you've drunk too much," he said.

"I, I didn't." She actually didn't want to go back to the room.

She didn't know why, but she felt at ease even if the two of them sat quietly like this without talking.

"You drank too much." Zachary Cheng repeated again: "I told you, don't drink mixed wine. It's true that you haven't drunk much now, but mixed wine can easily make you drunk."

"Where did you learn this weird fallacy?" The counselor turned to look at him, with a trace of surprise in her hazy eyes.

"Teacher, let's search on Baidu to see if what you said is correct." She raised a finger to indicate a moment.

Zachary Cheng couldn't help but laugh, thinking that she was a bit silly after drinking too much.

He actually asked "Teacher Baidu"!

So, he moved his head slightly closer to her and watched her search.

In fact, during the drinking process, the two people unknowingly sat closer and closer.

At this moment, it started to rain lightly outside.

The rain was not heavy, but the patter of rain could be heard.

Zachary Cheng likes to listen to the sound of rain very much. People like him seem to have a special name, called rain addicts.

Chen Jieyu saw him looking at her mobile phone, raised her eyes and looked at him without paying attention.

She opened Baidu on her mobile phone and was about to type: "Will drinking mixed alcohol make you more likely to get drunk?"

As a result, the phone was snatched away by Zachary Cheng.

Because when Chen Jieyu points her finger on the input box, all the previous Baidu search records will pop up.

He saw the top entry in the search record at a glance!

"Teacher Chen." Zachary Cheng said in a deep voice, rarely calling her Teacher Chen.

"What do you search for on Baidu on weekdays?" He looked at her and looked at her from top to bottom.

"Huh? What?" Chen Jieyu didn't react.

Zachary Cheng took her mobile phone and read out his search records word for word:

"Are there any teachers being kept by students?"

As soon as these words came out, for Chen Jieyu, it was like a thunderbolt!

For a moment, she felt that her heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, her body became tense, and even the fingers on her feet curled up at this moment.

His cheeks, which were already full of alcohol, turned even redder, and even his neck was stained with a slight blush.

"No, it's not what you think." She quickly approached Zachary Cheng and grabbed the phone, half-lying on top of him.

He could feel his arm being squeezed.

Chen Jieyu's palms pressed directly on his thighs to support her body.

It was only at this moment that she realized that there was no point in snatching the phone away from her. What was the use of it?

Zachary Cheng looked at Chen Jieyu who was rushing towards him, a smile appeared on his face, and he said meaningfully: "What am I thinking?"

He lowered his head and looked at Chen Jieyu, who had almost thrown herself into his arms. He looked at the counselor who owed him a huge debt, and once again called her Teacher Chen, which was rare.

"Teacher Chen, do you know what you will do if you are adopted?"
