Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 176

"It's done." The waitress said in the hot pot restaurant.

After the photo was taken, she spoke in a very soft voice, as if she was afraid that people at other tables would hear her: "Handsome guy, beautiful girl, you two are the most photogenic guests I have ever photographed today."

"Here's the photo." She handed the photo over.

"Thank you." Zachary Cheng took it.

The photos taken by Polaroid cameras will not appear immediately. Many people will choose to shake the photos with their hands a few times, as if this will make them appear faster.

Zachary Cheng has always felt that this is the most interesting part of taking photos with Polaroids.

Slowly watch the picture emerge bit by bit on the photo, from part to whole, from blur to clarity.

He was not in a hurry to sit back across from him. The two of them sat on the same bench in the hot pot restaurant, watching the scenes in the photo emerge little by little.

Then, the problem came.

They are not a couple, nor are they a couple living together. They can take a photo back to their shared home.

Now there is only one photo, who should I give it to?

Undoubtedly, Serena Shen has not thought of this yet.

She was now staring at the photo with great interest, watching the picture emerge bit by bit.

Obviously, she also found this process more interesting.

Even looking at the group photo, a little strange emotion spread in my heart.

It seems that it is not the things in the photos that are emerging and spreading bit by bit, but her inner world.

Zachary Cheng in the photo looks a bit naughty. After all, he was still acting mischievously when taking the photo.

Serena Shen lost a bit of the coldness in reality.

She looked at Biye's palm that Zachary Cheng placed behind her head, and for some reason, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Zachary Cheng looked at her from the side, and then he said slowly: "Should you take this photo or should I take it?"

"Huh?" Serena Shen turned to look at him and realized that there was only one photo.

This hot pot restaurant is really stingy.

She really wanted this photo.

At this moment, she didn't think deeply about it. If there was an extra photo with a boy in her home, she might have to find a place to hide it, and she couldn't leave it blatantly.

"Forget it, I'll leave it to you." Zachary Cheng said directly.

If that's the case, then it's just on the passing line, and it just gives this girl another photo with herself in her home.

How could Zachary Cheng be satisfied with just this?

Therefore, he definitely needs to do something to dry up the ambiguous atmosphere.

When Serena Shen was about to put the photo away and put it in his bag, he suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

The cold girl was slightly stunned, not knowing what he was going to do.

He picked up his phone, quickly turned on the camera function, and then took a picture of the photo she was holding in her hand, as well as her left hand holding the photo.

After doing this, he Shi Shiran stood up and sat back across from Serena Shen.

After finishing the hot pot meal, Zachary Cheng smelled his clothes after paying the bill and muttered: "Tsk, it smells like hot pot."

After hearing this, Serena Shen also raised her arm and smelled the clothes slightly.

"You and your aunt should have arrived in the same car this afternoon." He said to Serena Shen.

"Yeah." She nodded.

This means that she now has no car, and the car was driven away by Wang Yushan.

"Auntie said she was coming to pick me up, but she didn't go home either. She was busy with something nearby." Serena Shen said.

"That's okay."

"And you?"

"Me? I came here on my little electric donkey." Zachary Cheng smiled.

This reminded Serena Shen of that night when the evening breeze blew.



After the two separated, Serena Shen got into Wang Yushan's car.

"Have you eaten hot pot?" Wang Yushan asked Serena Shen.

"Well, I have a smell all over my body." Serena Shen replied.

"Then go back and wash your hair and take a shower."

"Um."

As a stepmother, although she usually got along with Serena Shen as friends, she didn't talk or ask too much, nor did she mention Zachary Cheng specifically.

Wang Yushan always felt that Ning Ning was a very independent person.

She should be able to handle her own emotional life clearly.

If she wants to talk to him about something, then she must be willing to listen and talk.

But if the other party didn't have this plan, she wouldn't ask more questions.

Of course, she was actually very curious.

After the white Porsche Cayenne drove to the parking space at home, the young mother and daughter went back to their rooms.

Serena Shen walked into her bedroom and put the bag in her hand on her side of the bag wall.

Her cloakroom is very spacious, with more than twenty compartments on one wall, all of which are used to store bags.

But before that, she immediately took out the Polaroid photo.

The cold girl looked down at the photo, looking at Zachary Cheng's funny hand behind her. For some reason, she walked to the full-length mirror in the cloakroom, imitated his movements, and made a gesture on her head.

"Silly." She complained softly, but there was a slight smile on her face.

But for a moment, she was a little confused and didn't know where to put the photo.

She tore off a piece of paper, placed the photo inside the paper, folded it, and wrapped it. It's like putting a letter in an envelope.

"Use her as a bookmark," she thought to herself.

Serena Shen opened the romance novel that she hadn't finished yet, took out the exquisite bookmark inside and replaced it with this simple bookmark.

She sat at the table, looking at her new bookmarks a little distractedly.

"I actually took a photo of the group photo with my mobile phone."

"I don't know what he means."

On the other side, Zachary Cheng rode a small electric donkey home.

After arriving home, he had a casual chat with Liu Jiani and said that he was busy with something.

What a joke, her breasts are so big, she asked me to taste the new designs she designed.

I can't even understand your design.

He had nothing to do and checked his circle of friends.

Then I saw Chen Jieyu, the counselor of my class, sharing an English song.

Zachary Cheng has heard this song before. It is a relatively emo song, and it sounds quite depressing.

"What time is it this evening? Is it too late to Yiyun?" He complained a little.

"Didn't she say she would go back to her hometown during the National Day holiday? She also promised me to scold her brother."

"There seems to be some problems in her native family, and I don't know what happened in the past few days." The creditor thought in his heart.

In fact, Chen Jieyu has indeed experienced a lot in the past few days.

She went home on October 2nd.

After returning home, her mother remained the same, asking her how she was living alone in Hangzhou.

My father is still the same, but this time he has helped the family a lot, so his attitude is slightly better than before, and he even took the initiative to put some food for himself at the dinner table.

Chen Jieyu was born in a family that was extremely patriarchal. Her mother was better off, but her father and grandparents were particularly serious in this regard.

It is actually very sad for girls to grow up in this kind of family.

All this is not only reflected in life, but also in spiritual persecution.

Chen Jieyu is actually very happy that they finally got their wish. Her mother gave birth to a second child in secret, and finally gave birth to a younger brother.

Fortunately, the baby was a boy.

This is good, because they will not continue to scold my mother in front of me, accusing her of not being able to give birth to a son, which makes me feel their disgust and hatred for me.

Oh, by the way, in fact, I had already had an abortion before this.

She remembers clearly that when she went to pay the fine for having a second child, her father and grandparents were all beaming. When neighbors asked how much they paid, her father said with a smile, "It's a comfortable payment!"

And she was just a loser in their eyes.

In addition, her father is an alcoholic and sometimes beats people when he drinks too much.

She and her mother had both been beaten, but her brother never had.

When Chen Jieyu was a child, she didn't understand why his mother wouldn't divorce him even though he beat people.

But as she grew up, she understood more and more, and after seeing more and more examples on the Internet, she gradually understood something.

There are many couples like this in the world.

Human nature is complex, really.

Sometimes she feels that she is quite complicated, very complicated.

Speaking of which, Chen Jieyu doesn't have much dislike for her younger brother Chen Qi.

In her mind, her brother was not actually bad in nature, he was just enjoying the family's preference for him as a matter of course.

He still has basic respect for his sister. He also liked to pester her when he was a child, and even protected her when he was beaten.

This is also the main reason why she is willing to help him solve the 60,000 yuan.

But she still hasn't listened to some of the views her grandparents have instilled in her since she was a child. Later she realized that if she really lived according to what they said, she would be the kind of brother-supporting demon mentioned on the Internet.

She can help at critical moments, but she will never live for him!

In the past few years, Chen Jieyu's life has actually been a little easier.

Because she has a decent job that her family can show off to the outside world.

For a person from a small place, it is indeed very respectable to work in a university in a big city like Hangzhou.

Also, I am indeed beautiful, or in their eyes, this is not called beautiful, but should be called exquisite?

They firmly believe that they can find a good family to marry, and they firmly believe that they can sell themselves well.

Little did he know that she had never thought of getting married at all. She was an extremely firm non-marriage advocate.

She also doesn't want to have another experience of being "sold out" in her life, which will make her feel even more humble and have less self-esteem.

No, as she gets older, they keep saying that she is an old girl, and the older she gets, the less valuable she is.

When she returned home on October 2, she actually had a small emotional breakdown.

The reason is simple. Her brother Chen Qi is not at home and has gone out to play.

She borrowed 50,000 yuan from Zachary Cheng, and for the next period of time, she had to pay him back 4,000 yuan every month. She would live an extremely embarrassed life in Hangzhou and had to live on a budget.

The reason why this happened was because he hit someone on his motorcycle!

But the initiator went out happily during the holidays.

She remembered that when she was a child, she accidentally broke something and received a slap in the face.

Losing money is another waste of money.

But my precious son is different. He can also spend money on traveling.

Today, Chen Qi Travel is back.

As soon as he returned home, he saw Chen Jieyu sitting in the living room.

"Sister, where are your parents?" he asked.

"Playing cards." Chen Jieyu said calmly: "Mom went shopping."

"Is it fun?" She raised her head and asked Chen Qi suddenly.

"It's fun! It's fun to go out with friends. Going with family is boring!" Chen Qi said.

"After you bumped into someone, you changed your clothes and went to the store, and you still spent money to travel?"

"What are you talking about? I did accidentally hit someone. That idiot didn't look at the road. What can I do?"

"And you only lost more than 800 yuan, which is not a lot, isn't it?"
