《Reborn with My Wife》


 Chapter 1: Explosion (1)

    Chapter 1: Explosion (1)


    It was the month of November. Jiangbei City, Jiangbei Province, China.


    The night was cold and windy, and people on the road were in a hurry. After all, it was already 10 o''clock in the evening, and the weather was so cold.


    Jiangbei City, was the capital city of Jiangbei Province. Although it was only a small third-tier city, it was also a provincial capital, and there were things that big cities should have here. Therefore, the consumption level has always been high.


    There were 4 counties and 5 districts in Jiangbei City, and this story starts from the 5th district, the Xinjian District.


    Xinghua Road in the Xinjian District, this road was amercial street in the Xinjian District. The crowds were surging, and the snack and supper shops along the road were full.


    But the buildings here were all dpidated. Each building had only 7 floors. There were no elevators, no property, not even a parking space. These buildings were over 20 years old. People who live here looked forward to them being demolished every day. But it just didnt happen.


    *****


    In front of the residential building, the dim street lights flickered, and it was quiet. Everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep.


    And on the third floor of one of the buildings was brightly lit through the curtains.


    "Wife, let''s do it please" An urgent and a bit miserable voice sounded.


    It was a young man with ck-rimmed sses. He was wearing pajamas, rubbing his hands and smiling as he looked at the woman lying on the bed.


    "I''m tired, sleep."


    The woman on the bed said in a cold voice.


    "Tired tired, Tu Sisi, tell me, when are you not tired? Eh? You take care of our son. You cook and wash clothes at home every day. You are more tired than I am at work. Tell me, how long have we been without doing that?" Gu Xia asked with a sneer.


    Tu Sisi sat up with a frosty face when she heard those words, her long xen hair was draped behind her, and her delicate face fell. She first nced at the child who was sleeping beside her, and saw that he was fast asleep. Then she raised her head and said coldly, "I just coaxed Chengcheng to fall asleep? And, you wanted to wake him up? What else do you think about all day long except for that shit?"


    "Hehe yes, I only think about this shit. Im exhausted from work every day. Isnt it normal to think about that at night? But since Chengcheng was born, we only have one time per month on average. Only once! We are only 30. I''m far from being old, but I''m living the life of an old man." Gu Xia sneered.


    "It''s just you who worked hard? Youe back in the middle of the night every day. When youe home, the fumes of alcohol on your body can kill people. When youe back, you either fall asleep or go crazy with alcohol. You''re working hard? I haven''t asked you about the fact that you sometimes have the scent of women on your body. Can you exin the smell of perfume? You lost your temper with me today, if it wasn''t for Chengcheng, I would have divorced you already." Tu Sisi nced at Gu Xia with contempt, and asked with a sneer.


    Gu Xia felt that he was about to explode with anger, and he suddenly thought about what he was really working so hard for!


    <em>I run business during the day, till my feet are blistered, and at night I have to apany clients to drink andugh like they are my grandfather. I have to drink even if I cant and vomit, just to make a deal and make more money. As for the perfume on my body, There must be more or less women on some asions, but I have always acted upright, and I have never messed around outside. Unexpectedly, when it came to my wife, she thought I was eating, drinking, and ying every day!</em>


    Gu Xia has never been so angry and sad like today. In the past, even if his wife didn''t let him make out with her, Gu Xia could solve it by himself at best, but he couldn''t ept his tiring work every day, earning money to support his family and paying the mortgage. But, what he still couldn''t understand was the word "divorce". Was it that easy to say?


    Gu Xia was very worried, he didn''t know why it became like this.


    "Hahaha. Divorce? Divorce is good! I knew you had this idea for a long time, well, tomorrow I will fulfill that for you. And you can finally go to your Hu Chao. I know you have always been obsessed with him." Gu Xiaughed madly.


    Gu Xia frantically put on his clothes, and then walked out of the house.


    Tu Sisi saw Gu Xia wearing clothes and walking out, even though she regretted what she just said, but when she saw Gu Xia going out, she became angry again, and said loudly to Gu Xia''s back, "Okay, we will divorce tomorrow, who cares?."


    "Crack~"


    The sound of closing the door responded to her.


    "Ah~"


    Tu Sisi threw the pillow on the floor, lying on the bed she sobbed in a low voice.


    *****


    The kitchen opposite Gu Xia''s house had a strong smell of gas, and the pipe of the gas tank cracked. Through that small gap, the gas started leaking. Maybe the owner didn''t turn off his gas after cooking at night, which caused gas leakage.


    *****


    After Gu Xia went out, he tightened his clothes, but he still felt extremely cold. Looking at his watch, it was almost 12 o''clock. Gu Xia took out his mobile phone and wanted to call his few friends. I wanted them toe out to drink and talk with him, but his fingers didn''t dial out those numbers.


    Gu Xia knew that if he called, they would definitelye out, but it was veryte at this time. In addition, they used to drink and y until they went backte. Their wives had long been angry and med him every time they met. Yes, and the rtionship between them was not very good because of this. If he called them out now, they would definitelye out, but Gu Xia didn''t want them to quarrel, so he didn''t dial out the phone. It was because they were brothers that he had to be considerate for them. They were no longer unmarried young men, and everything must be considered clearly.


    Gu Xia walked quickly to ate-night snack shop downstairs. There were many people in thete-night snack shop, but there were still two empty tables. As soon as Gu Xia entered the door, he heard the clear voice of the proprietress, "Oh! Gu Xia is here. Now, sit here, you haven''t been here for a while, are you the only one today?"


    "Yah bring me a te of Braised Sheep Scorpion, a te of peanuts, and a bottle of Ninshan." Gu Xia said with a smile. (Goblin: Braised Sheep Scorpion is a dish made from sheep spinal cord, from neck to the tail,plete vertebrae. Google it, it looks delicious! Ninshan is a brand of wine.)


    "Okay, wait." After the proprietress finished speaking, she twisted her waist with a smile and went to ce the order.


    After a while, the steaming hanging pot was lifted up, hung on the hook above the table, lit with charcoal fire, and a fragrance came out.


    It was great to have some Braised Sheep Scorpion on this cold day. The strong smell of meat, the spicy aroma, reminded him of the past.

 Chapter 1: Explosion (2)

    Chapter 1: Explosion (2)


    Eating the Braised Sheep Scorpion while drinking white wine was very refreshing, but unfortunately he was alone. However, he just finished arguing with his wife, and drinking alone did not seem all that bad.


    After drinking, his anxiety had been reduced a lot. He could get rid of a thousand worries when he got drunk.


    He didnt know how long he had been drinking, but there were not many customers left in the restaurant. And there were already two empty bottles in Ninshan in front of Gu Xia. Gu Xias face looked pale and his eyes were a little dazed. The Braised Sheep Scorpion in the hanging pot in front of him has been already eaten.


    Gu Xia looked down at the table, his eyes wandering.


    This was the ce he and his wife first met. At that time, he was 18, and she was 17. She followed her best friend Wang Qian, and he was also forced toe by Li Sicheng. Because at the time Li Sicheng was chasing Wang Qian, he was embarrassed toe alone, so he pulled him toe with him.


    Gu Xia vaguely remembered that it was December of 2008. The weather was very cold, only two or three degrees. That day, Tu Sisi was wearing a knee-length white down jacket with light makeup on her delicate face and a long ponytail.


    The grievances he had due to being forced disappeared in an instant! Gu Xia could hear his heart thumping. He had never been in a rtionship before. One reason was that he didn''t like it, and the other was that he had to work every day except in ss. So he had no time for love.


    At that time, to Gu Xia and Tu Sisi it seemed as if they had known each other for a long time. Gu Xia and Tu Sisi got along and chatted during the whole process, while Li Sicheng and Wang Qian, who were the protagonists, didn''t say anything except a few words until they finished eating.


    In the next few years, Gu Xia and Tu Sisi were always together. They were never tired of being together every day. After Tu Sisi graduated from university, the two got married. Then Gu Xia started to run a business, and Tu Sisi became pregnant. After having a baby, she had to take care of the baby at home.


    Gu Xia couldntprehend why the two people who were so much in love at the time had now transformed into what they were today?


    Was he wrong? Or she had changed, Gu Xia didn''t know, and didn''t understand.


    "Madam, get me another bottle of wine."


    Gu Xia raised his head and shouted with a hazy look.


    "Gu Xia, are you still drinking? You have already drunk two bottles. Besides, it''s almost 2 o''clock now. You haven''t gone home yet. I''m not afraid that your wife won''t let you enter the bed!" The proprietress sat directly opposite Gu Xia and smiled.


    "Xiaoyun, go to the kitchen, get the mutton, and then you can get off work." The proprietress instructed, and walked over to the bar to get a bottle of wine.


    "Gu Xia, what''s the matter with you today? Youre drinking alone, what''s the matter with my sister? I''ve known you for so many years, and this is the first time I''ve seen you in such a low mood?"


    With a ss of wine, she looked at Gu Xia in front of her. She knew that Gu Xia was already drunk. Few people knew that the more Gu Xia drank, the paler his face became.


    The proprietress also heard Gu Xia who was drunk once say that this kind of drinking was not shameful at all. But, she heard people say that kind of thing happened due to poor liver function, and it was very bad for the body.


    Originally, thedy boss wanted Gu Xia to leave, but seeing that he was in a bad mood, she had to leave him alone. She decided to wait a minute, then take him home herself. She was quite close to his family anyway.


    "Sister Li, do you think women will change when they get married?" Gu Xia asked drunkenly.


    "The matter of marriage is quite a hard thing to understand, and I also don''t understand. This sisters own matters are quite chaotic, so how can I help you solve your doubts!" Sister Li took a sip of wine and sighed.


    "Hehe, nearly 10 years! I''ve been with her for almost 10 years, how many 10 years will I have in my life! I don''t know why we''ve gone further and further apart." Gu Xia said, his eyes were wet, he lifted the ss to drink the liquor inside and kept shaking his head.


    Gu Xia handed the proprietress a cigarette, then lit one for himself, took a deep breath, and felt some choking smoke flowing in his lungs and throat What does it feel like? Gu Xia didn''t know either, he only knew that the smoke was circting in his body, and he was very happy.


    "A toast to freedom, a toast to death


    Forgive my dullness and dispel my confusion


    Well, Im always awry after dawn


    Sober people are the most absurd


    Sober people are the most absurd."


    <em>[Goblin: The lyrics are from the song "Xiao Chou" (; Drown Your Sorrows) written,posed and sung by Mao Buyi. Google it to hear the full song.]</em>


    Gu Xia started humming a song that came out of nowhere. He only knew that he had heard it, but he couldn''t remember where. But for some reason, he could sing it. Maybe it was because he felt the same way!


    "I''ll help you up the stairs. The proprietress, Sister Li, offered to help.


    "No, uh~ I know the way, it''s so close, I can climb it, you go back, I''m leaving." Gu Xia waved his hand and walked staggeringly towards the home.


    Sister Li didn''t mind this. After all, she hadn''t collected the money in her shop and the door was not locked, so she had to shout, "Then you be careful."


    Gu Xia waved his hand and walked to the house on his own. When he walked to the door of the house, Gu Xia didn''t open the door, but sat down against the door. After sitting down, he suddenly felt his stomach churn.


    "Ughurgh..cough!"


    Gu Xia vomited while holding the door, tears and snot running down.


    Tu Sisi heard the sound of the door, and her first reaction was to get up to have a look, but remembering what just happened, she resolutely went back to bed. Her tears flowed down from her cheeks.


    After Gu Xia finished vomiting, he sat directly on the floor, his whole body felt heavy, with saliva dripping from his mouth, he groaned.


    *****


    At this time, in the opposite house, the male owner was about to get up to go to the toilet at night. He had a habit of lighting a cigarette before going to the toilet. In his words, he would rather not go to the toilet if he had no cigarettes. He walked to the living room as usual, took out his cigarette and walked to the toilet door. While lighting the cigarette, he suddenly smelled an odor, and he was shocked, and his thought cleared, but it was already toote, because his finger had already pressed the lighter.


    "Boom!"


    Suddenly, the mes were all over the ce, and the continuous sounds of explosion could be heard.


    Gu Xia heard a thunderous sound, narrowed his eyes and looked in front of him, and suddenly the door in front of him burst open with a bang, and mes quickly rushed out.


    The st hit Gu Xia''s body, as the door of Gu Xia''s house burst open, and the me quickly filled Gu Xia''s house.


    At the moment when the mes approached, Gu Xia murmured, "That''s fine, I''ve already died a hundred times, I just hope that Sisi and Chengcheng are all right."


    <strong>Goblin:</strong> I have seen my fair share of domestic unrest (around me). It is not a happy thing to experience. Yes, there are times when it all seems hopeless, but if they got a second chance, what will they do? Will they keep their love alive?

 Chapter 2: Ten years ago

    Chapter 2: Ten years ago


    "Argh my head hurts!"


    It was still in amunity building on Xinghua Road, Xinjian District. On a single bed, a handsome teenager with long hair sat up, then he touched his face to get a clear sense. He looked like the young version of Gu Xia from the past.


    It was rainy weather, and the room was somewhat dark. Gu Xia was wearing a patterned white shirt and jeans. His eyes were dazedly open, and he kept rubbing his temples.


    "Ehwhere is this? Didn''t I get burned to death?"


    "This isn''t this the bed I slept on when I was in high school? Is this a dream?" Gu Xia looked at his body after getting out of bed, then he spoke in a dazed voice.


    "Shi*t it hurts! Isn''t this a dream?"


    Gu Xia pinched his thigh, and suddenly hissed in pain, sucking in a breath of cold air.


    Gu Xia was stunned, he couldn''t understand what was going on.


    Suddenly he got up and ran to the sink in the toilet without even wearing shoes. He stared nkly at himself in the mirror for more than ten minutes.


    "Is this a rebirth? The same as the one written in those fantasy novels?" Gu Xia said to himself.


    "Isn''t there any system or something attached to me or even some old grandfather?" Gu Xia touched his entire body with both hands after speaking, but he didn''t find any rings, pendants, or anything like that. (Goblin: Nice one author!)


    "Forget it, it would be better to not think too much about it if I don''t understand it. If there is something, then I will naturally find out in the future. If there is nothing, thats fine too. I will just live a dull life as usual. Just look at those people who got systems or an old grandfather, they have to save the world at every turn."


    Gu Xia walked to the living room and saw the calendar on the wall, it showed the date July 5, 2008.


    "July 5, 2008? That isnot long after the National College Entrance Examination. I remember that my score was just enough for the second grade. In my previous life, I envied those people of the same age who earned 3,000 a month in the factory. So, I didnt go to get myself admitted to the university. I was tempted by the words of my ssmate when he said that the factory was full of beautiful women. And at that time, I thought that I had only passed the exam with a second grade, so it would not be very useful. In the end, I went to work in a factory outside the city, and did not study in the University. My parents got very upset as well.


    Gu Xia clenched his fists, he remembered that when he went to the factory to work, he didnt even tell his parents, and his parents were very angry about it.


    He could still remember that when his grades came out, his parents were all smiles all day long. They told people wherever they went that their son got admitted to the university. But, he disappointed them both.


    Thinking about it now, he was really ignorant at that time!


    Gu Xia secretly vowed, <em>In this life, I will go to the university to learn things well. I will make my parents happy, and proud of me. I will change my destiny, so that I will no longer be the same as my previous life.</em>


    "Knockknock!"


    The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Gu Xia''s thoughts. He opened the door, and there was a fat young man standing at the door.


    "Gu Xia, are you at home alone?" the fat young man asked softly, and looked inside after he finished speaking.


    "Well, don''t worry, I am alone, my mother is not at home,e in." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    This fat young man in front of him was the culprit who tempted him to go to the factory in his previous life. His name was Li Yuanbao.


    What this guy was most afraid of was his mother. Because when they were studying, Gu Xia and Li Yuanbao went to the Inte cafe to y games. And it was Li Yuanbao who taught Gu Xia to y fantasy games like Dungeons and Warriors, and Journey to the West.


    At that time, when Gu Xias pocket money was not enough, he often stole his fathers cigarettes and went to the store to sell them. Thirteen packs of Liqun were sold in the store for ten yuan, and then he went to the Inte cafe with the money to y games on the Inte. (Goblin: Liqun is a Chinese cigarette brand.)


    Every time his dad found out, he couldnt avoid being beaten up. That also led to Gu Xias mother scolding him every time she saw Li Yuanbao. His mom was very familiar with Li Yuanbaos mother, which made the poor guy unable to avoid her scolding.


    "Gu Xia, I''m going to Shenhai City, are you going?" Li Yuanbao said while sitting on Gu Xia''s bed.


    Gu Xia couldn''t helpughing when he heard those words. Seeing this Fatty again made Gu Xia very happy. In his previous life, he returned home after working in the factory for half a year, while the fatty continued working in the factory. After that, Gu Xia became an owner of his own business, and apart from some asional phone calls, there was no more contact between them. They never met again.


    Gu Xia felt that he had to persuade Fatty, because he felt that Fatty was eloquent and had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. If he could do something better, why should he have to go to the factory?


    "Fatty, why do you want to go to the factory?" Gu Xia asked.


    "Eh this, there are many girls in the factory, and the sry is also not low. It''s about 3,000 yuan a month, and thats quite a lot, so isn''t it good?" Fatty thought for a while and replied.


    "Heh, who did you hear it from?" Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "I heard it from a distant cousin of mine, he has been working there for four years, and his sry is now 5,000, and he has also found a wife there. The couple makes more than 8,000 a month. Everyone says his life is better. So I also want to go. My parents also agreed with me, and said that I''d better find a beautiful wife there." Fatty said with a smile.


    "So do you think you can adapt to the life in the factory? Can you adapt to the life of getting up at seven in the morning to go to work, working overtime until ten o''clock in the night, and taking only two days off a month? Don''t talk about chasing girls there, you won''t even have the time to get a proper sleep! Do you think this kind of life is what you want?" Gu Xia recalled his experience in the factory in his previous life, and couldn''t help but get a little emotional.


    That factory was really not suitable for young people. In there, you will have no time tomunicate with people, no time to make friends, no time to fall in love, and you will spend the whole day in the factory on the one-third of an acre, just like living in a prison. Except for the fact that there is a stable sry and a ce to live, that ce is no different.


    If young people stay there for a long time, their spirit will be worn down. Gu Xia really didn''t want Fatty to go to the factory. Of course, he couldn''t decide that for him. But, he could at least give an opinion.


    "I don''t know. You also know that my grades have not been very good. If I don''t go to the factory, where can I go?" When Fatty heard Gu Xias questions, he didn''t know how to answer, and spoke in a low mood.


    "I think you can try to do sales work. If you do it well, the sry will be very high. That job is like the current insurance salesman, loan officer, etcand the monthly sry is in tens of thousands. You can also exercise your eloquence andmunication skills, and work more freely. Except for meetings in the morning and evening, the rest of the time is your free time. You can do whatever you want, as long as your performance is good. Gu Xia told Fatty what he had in mind.


    "The sry is in tens of thousands? My God! My dad makes 5,000 a month and even that is enough for our family to live for a month, and have enough left over. What is the concept of tens of thousands a month! Dont you know? You can eat whatever you want and y whatever you want!" Fatty stared at Gu Xia with wide eyes and said exaggeratedly.


    "Hehe, that''s right, you can eat whatever you want, and y whatever you want." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "Then what do you think I should do? Should I sell insurance or be a loan officer?" Fatty asked excitedly.


    "You can be a loan officer. Right now the country''s financial industry is just emerging, all aspects of policy arex. It is the optimum time to start a business."


    Gu Xias suggestion that Fatty should try to be a loan officer was not a casual thing. It came from the basis that Gu Xia was also a loan officer in his previous life. The threshold for being a loan officer was low and the ie was high. Moreover, the current financial market had just started, and it was very profitable to do it now.


    "I''ll go back and discuss with my parents and ask for their opinions. What about you, what are you going to do? Are you going to the university?" Fatty nodded and said.


    "Well, I''m going to Jiangbei University." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Oh, well, remember to introduce me to a beautiful girl from the university." Fatty winked and smiled.


    Gu Xia told Fatty some tips for running the business, and Fatty didn''t leave until it was dark.


    After Fatty left, Gu Xia went to the kitchen to cook, and then went to the refrigerator to take out the ingredients to wash.


    He was going to prepare dinner before his parents came back, so that they could have warm food when they came back. As for his sister, she should be back soon as well. She and her ssmates went to y who knows where and they would not be home all day long.


    Gu Xia''s father was a decoration worker. He went out early and returnedte everyday from work, while his mother did housekeeping outside. The two earned quite a lot of money every month. They paid more than 3,000 mortgages a month, and saved on household expenses. They also had some savings, so Gu Xia did not have to worry about food and clothing since he was a child.

 Chapter 3: Family

    Chapter 3: Family


    "Kacha!"


    Gu Xia was cooking thest dish when he heard the door open, thinking that it should be Mom who came back at this time.


    "It''s delicious! Mom~ you came back so early today, huh~ delicious."


    Hearing a cute girly voice in the dining room, Gu Xia knew that it wasn''t his mother who just came back, but his sister Gu Qin, who just happened toe back early and see the stir-fried pork with mushrooms. Gu Xia walked out of the kitchen carrying the vegetables, and saw his sister Gu Qin bending over and eating the vegetables with her hands.


    "Ahemm!"


    Gu Xia coughed heavily, and saw his sister turning her head to look at him, her delicate face had be chubby due to her mouth being stuffed with vegetables.


    "Look at you, grabbing the vegetables and eating them without even washing your hands. Our parents haven''te back yet, so don''t get the vegetables dirty." Gu Xia said angrily, finding this scene a little funny.


    "Hmph, stinky Gu Xia. Dont scare me with our parents. If I like something, of course I will eat it." Gu Qin gave Gu Xia a look, thinking he was being nosy, and then grabbed a piece of braised pork with her hand to put it in her mouth.


    "Pop~"


    Gu Xia pped the back of Gu Qin''s hand with his hand, not allowing her to grab the food to eat.


    "Ah! Gu Xia, why did you hit me? Look at what happened to such a good piece of braised pork. It fell to the ground after being pped by you like that. Hmph~ I''m going to the kitchen to tell mom that you bullied me." Gu Qin angrily said and then went to the kitchen.


    "Mom, you see Gu Xia bullying me again, Mom? Mom~"


    Gu Xia arched the corners of his mouth when he heard the voice of Gu Qin in the kitchen, andughed, this little sister! She has been mischievous since she was a child, and liked to make fun of him. She liked to grab anything delicious from him. Every time, his parents remained partial towards him. Thinking of these childhood events, Gu Xia smiled.


    "Hey, didn''t Mome back? Who made this dish?" Gu Qin asked in confusion, not seeing her mother anywhere.


    "Hmm~ of course it was me, your brother. How is it? It''s delicious, right?" Gu Xia said deliberately.


    "Wow~ And I was wondering why it was so unptable? No wonder it doesn''t taste like Mom''s cooking, so you made it!"


    "Oh~ it turns out to be so unptable! Then who was the little pig who stole the food just now. She used her pig trotters to keep stuffing the vegetables in her mouth, and said it was delicious? No, I have to go look around, and find out where that little pig go." Gu Xia said in a strange voice and looked around, pretending to be looking for something everywhere, which made Gu Qin roll her eyes at him again.


    "Gu Xia, you are the little pig, you are a big stupid pig, a big dumb pig, hum~" Gu Qin pouted.


    Gu Xia said, "Hehe, it turns out that the greedy pig is you!"


    "Ah~ I will kill you for making fun of me!"


    "Ah, let go, let go, it hurts, are you a dog?"


    "I was a dog from the start, hum hum~"


    *****


    The two quarreled for a while. The end result was several tooth marks on Gu Xia''s arm, and he rubbed his arms constantly, while Gu Qin had a smug smile on her face.


    "I say, you bite people every time you cant win. Just look at these tooth marks on my hand, how can I see people now!" Gu Xia said dissatisfied.


    "Humph~ Who told you to call me a pig?" Gu Qin squinted at Gu Xia and said.


    Gu Xia didn''t answer her words, just looked at Gu Qin quietly. He really enjoyed this feeling of warmth at the moment, this feeling was veryfortable.


    He hadn''t experienced this for a long time. After Gu Xia got married in his previous life, the two of them had less and lessmunication, and they became a lot more distant. Now that he was bickering with his sister again, it felt too good.


    "Kacha~"


    The door opened again, and a man and a woman walked in. The man was in his forties, with short hair, wearing a white T-shirt and denim pants. His clothes were covered in white porcin dust. He held a lit cigarette in his hand, and wrinkles around his eyes, he walked in with a stern smile on his face.


    The woman was wearing a id shirt and jeans, with waist-length hair tied behind her back, she had bright eyes and a faint smile on her face.


    This man and woman were Gu Xia''s parents, Gu Feng and Deng Ling.


    "Dad, Mom, youre back,e and eat!" Gu Qin shouted cheerfully.


    "Well, we''reing."


    "OhWhat is that the case today? The food is ready, Xia Xia, did you do this? Our Xia Xia is so sensible." Deng Ling looked at the steaming food on the table and said to Gu Xia with a smile.


    "Mom~"


    Gu Qin thought to herself that she would please her mom by asking her toe to dinner, but her mother did all she could do to praise Gu Xia instead.


    "Haha, our Qinqin is also sensible." Deng Ling smiled and patted Gu Qin''s head.


    "Okay, let''s eat." Gu Feng sat at the dining table and said with a smile.


    "Huh? When did Xia Xia''s dishes taste so good? It''s almost as good as what we ate in a restaurant." Gu Feng took a bite of Fried Pork with peppers and looked at Gu Xia in surprise.


    "Oh~ I''ll try it too." Deng Ling heard that and picked up a piece of Shiitake Mushroom and put it in her mouth.


    "Yeah, Xia Xia, the dishes you cooked a few days ago were just average, how did you make them so delicious today?" Deng Ling looked at Gu Xia meaningfully.


    "Hehe, I learned from watching food shows on TV these days, how is it? It''s delicious, right?" Gu Xia pretended to be smug.


    He would never say that he graduated from high school in his previous life, stayed in the factory for half a year, and then went to a restaurant to learn as a chef for two years. Otherwise, how could he improve his cooking skills by only watching TV?


    "A food show? I didn''t expect you to watch that kind of thing. But it''s alright. It just so happens that we need someone to prepare all the meals next summer. After eating the dishes Xia Xia made, I don''t even want to cook anymore. It won''t be as delicious as yours. I feel hurt! I''ve been cooking for decades, but it''s not as delicious as the food you prepared after watching some show for a few days, I''m heartbroken!" Deng Ling said with an exaggerated manner.


    Gu Xia had a wry smile on his face when he heard those words, he didn''t expect to be booked for a summer job by his mother like this, but Gu Xia did not mind it.


    "All right, I''ll cook for the whole summer." Gu Xia nodded and said.


    Eh? Gu Xia, who was eating with his head down, found that everyone was looking at him, and their gazes were extraordinarily strange.


    "Gu Xia, do you have a fever?"


    After speaking, Gu Qin touched Gu Xia''s forehead with her hand.


    "It''s weird, you don''t have a fever! Then why are you so abnormal today? Before, you were asked to sweep the floor and wash the dishes, but you kept beingzy. Today, we asked you to cook every day, and you agreed. Has the sune out from the west?" Gu Qin stared at Gu Xia with a strange look on her face.


    Gu Xia looked at his parents only to see them agree with Gu Qin''s words. He couldn''t help but smile bitterly. Was he really such an ipetent person in his previous life? He didn''t even remember, what a shame!

 Chapter 4: Were we both reborn?

    Chapter 4: Were we both reborn?


    At night, the noise from the downstairs snack shop and the roar of cars could be heard from the window. Living in this old-fashionedmunity was like that. You had to ept all the noise, unlike in the countryside, where it was quiet and calm.


    Compared to that quietness though, Gu Xia prefered the ce where he lived now, after all, he had lived there for decades in his previous life.


    Gu Xia was thinking about what to do next?


    Should he invest in some startups like those protagonists in rebirth novels?


    Gu Xia didn''t want to and couldn''t. First, he didn''t have money or technology, so he couldn''t do it at all. After all, he didn''t have a system or an old wise grandfather to help him, and he was still a human being.


    I don''t know what Sisi is doing? She should have just graduated from high school by this time, right?


    Now she should still have a crush on Hu Chao, that handsome guy in her ss, right?


    She can live a carefree life every day now, and doesn''t have to worry about taking care of her child, or to buy vegetables, wash clothes and cook every day, right?


    "Hey, why do I feel so irritated in my heart?"


    Gu Xia tossed and turned and couldn''t fall asleep, his head was messed up, and he didn''t fall asleep untilte at night.


    *****


    In a modernmunity in Xianghu District of Jiangbei City, there was an artificialke next to thismunity. As thismunity was built on thekeside, it was called Lakeside Community. The greenery in themunity was abundant, everywhere there was green vegetation, of course there were many mosquitoes as well.


    Themunity was silent, and on the 21st floor of Building 20, there was a 16- or 17-year-old girl who also couldn''t sleep. On the top deck of the double deck bed, in addition to the girl, there was a girl around 25 years old.


    The girl had t bangs, her jet-ck hair spread out on the pillow like a ck waterfall, and her eyes looked extra bright under the moonlight.


    The older girl was lying on her stomach and sleeping peacefully.


    "Haaah~"


    Aplicated sigh was heard in the room.


    "I really want to see my Chengcheng!" Her voice was so subtle that even the girl next to her could hardly hear hermentation.


    Tu Sisi has been in a daze all day, and she still couldn''t ept the fact that she was reborn. When she woke up today, she was still looking for her son everywhere, but the strange and familiar environment and the strange gazes she got from her family made her almost copse.


    She only remembered that she was lying on the bed, suddenly she heard a roaring sound, and the mes rushed into the room. She only had time to pounce on her son, and then she lost consciousness. When she woke up, she was back in time ten years ago.


    "Heh I wonder what happened to that dead guy? What happened to himwas he also reborn?" The room returned to tranquility again.


    *****


    The next day, Gu Xia was woken up by the rm clock at five o''clock. This was what he had set upst night. In his previous life, he often jugged in the morning whenever he had time. Now that he was reborn, this habit should not be lost. After all, the body was fundamental.


    Gu Xia gently opened the door to wash up, then used a bowl to cook porridge. After he went out, he gently ran on the road. The most taboo thing in jogging was running fast, as the stamina would notst long. Gu Xia knew a high-ranking official when he was doing business in his previous life. That customer taught Gu Xia a set of running skills, so when Gu Xia started running, his pace was regr, neither fast nor slow. He ran, and at the same time flexed the muscles of the whole body .


    At this age, Gu Xia was very thin. At 1.75 meters tall, he only weighed about 110 pounds, and he looked very thin.


    Gu Xia couldn''t help thinking of his previous life. After he got married, he ran a business and socialized every day, and his weight soared to more than 150 pounds. His stomach was like a pregnant woman in six or seven months.


    "Gu Xia, you came out for a run so early?" A middle-aged woman pushing a tricycle shouted to Gu Xia.


    "Ah, Aunt Zhang, are you out going to sell vegetables?" Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "Yeah, I go out every day at this time, and I''ll bring some to your houseter." Aunt Zhang smiled.


    "Don''t, you often bring vegetables to my house, which makes my family feel embarrassed." Gu Xia touched his nose and said helplessly.


    Auntie Zhang lived opposite his own house. She often brought some vegetables to his house after she returned at noon. He felt sorry, so sometimes when he bought food, he would give it to her, or he would invite her and her daughter to eat.


    Speaking of this auntie, her life was also hard. Her husband passed away for more than ten years, and she raised her daughter alone, relying on selling vegetables to make a living. And, her daughter Li Jingjing was also a very good person. Every year she performed at the top of her grade, and she was also very enthusiastic. There was not a single person in Gu Xiasmunity who could say that she was a bad girl. Most of the vegetables that Aunt Zhang sold were grown by themselves, and they were nutritious and hygienic.


    "Hey, you boy, you dont have to be so courteous with this aunt. Your mother also buys food for Jingjing, and you also help Jingjing with her homework. Will it hurt us to give you some vegetables? It''s fine as long as you dont dislike it. Aunt Zhang waved her hand and then rode the tricycle away.


    Gu Xia hurriedly ran two steps and shouted, "Auntie Zhang,e to my house for dinner at night and call Jingjing too."


    Okay~" Aunt Zhang replied from a distance.


    Gu Xia ran around the road in the center of the new district. It was almost seven o''clock when he got home. His Mom and Dad had already gone out, and the porridge in the bowl had reduced. His parents had finished drinking the porridge and went out.


    Gu Xia took a cold bath and felt much morefortable. The summer in Jiangbei City was very hot, and it could reach 40 degrees at noon during the day, ranking third in the country. It was really very hot.


    Gu Xia drank two bowls of porridge with dried radishes. Seeing that the door of his sister''s room was still closed, it was likely that she yed with her mobile phone tilltest night.


    Gu Xia took out his Nakia 3100 mobile phone. In college, his father gave it to him as a reward. Although it was not thetest Nakia mobile phone, the 3100 model cost more than 1,000 yuan. Gu Xia''s father only used a mobile phone that cost about 500 yuan. It could be seen how happy he was when Gu Xia was admitted to the university. When he first bought it, Gu Qin was greedy for it and kept saying that their father was partial, until Gu Feng promised her to buy a good mobile phone when she was also admitted to the university.


    Gu Xia entered QQ, and the DiDi prompt sound continued to ring.


    Gu Xia clicked on his high school group and saw a bombardment of more than a hundred messages!


    Li Xia: "Do you have time on July 7th? Why don''t we go out on an outing, just to say goodbye to our high school life. Those who agree, go sign up and pay 50 yuan each, and I''ll talk it out with the teacher''s side."


    Li Xia was the monitor of Gu Xia''s ss. She was beautiful, good at studying, and very popr in the ss. Many people had a crush on her, so as soon as she took the initiative, many people responded immediately.


    There were more than fifty people in the ss, and forty-seven people agreed to go. Because it was yesterday''s information, it was better to go directly tomorrow.


    Originally, Gu Xia didnt want to go, but after thinking about it, he thought it would be better to go. It was the first time in a while he would get to see his ssmates and teachers after many years. Otherwise, it would be difficult for everyone to meet each other again in the future. This outing would be very pure, and it won''t be like everyone''s gatherings in the future, when all they would do was topare and brag about themselves. (Goblin: Soso true! Thats why I dont attend my highschool gatherings anymore. Seems too fake and awkward. I dont feelfortable at all.)


    Gu Xia left the group and scrolled down, and found that the monitor Li Xia had sent a message asking if he would go, Gu Xia replied with a word, and then came out of QQ.


    Gu Xia felt that he was very bored. This mobile phone was not like the ones from his previous life.He could only stay connected with his circle of friends, and there were no other features for entertainment.


    Gu Xia had to turn on the TV and found that it was either a rey of My Fair Princess or a TV series like Journey to the West that he had watched hundreds of times. He then changed the channel again and started watching the news.

 Chapter 5: That glimpse of white

    Chapter 5: That glimpse of white


    At noon, because he didn''t buy vegetables, Gu Xia was going to cook some noodles for lunch. His sister Gu Qin went out to y with her ssmates, so Gu Xia was the only one at home.


    "KnockKnock!"


    While Gu Xia was watching the news, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a pretty girl standing outside. The girl was wearing a white dress, with a long ponytail, and her delicate face had no makeup.


    "Brother Xiao Xia, are you at home? I thought no one was there," said Li Jingjing on the opposite side.


    Gu Xia looked at Li Jingjing in front of him, and was in a trance for a while. He remembered that she was admitted to a first ss University in his previous life, which caused a sensation in themunity. Who would have guessed that she fell in love in the university and learnedter that her boyfriend had cheated on her. Beset with grief, she jumped from the roof of a building, and this flower-like girl withered before her age.


    "Oh, it''s Jingjing, have you eaten yet? Come in." Gu Xia came back to his senses.


    "No, have you eaten yet?" After speaking, Li Jingjing walked into the room and casually sat on the sofa.


    "That''s right, you sit for a while, watch TV, I''ll give you something to eat." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Okay~"


    *****


    After a while, Gu Xia came out with two bowls of shredded pork and egg noodles. The noodles were evenly sprinkled with chopped green onion, which looked particrly attractive.


    "Eat away!" Gu Xiaughed.


    "Mmm, it smells so good!" Li Jingjing smelled the aroma of the noodles, looked at the green chopped green onions on the milky white noodle soup, and found her appetite.


    Immediately, there was a "sssrrrpppp" noodle-eating sound in the dining room.


    "Ha~ That was delicious, I''m so full! It''s all your fault, those cooked noodles were so delicious! I couldn''t help it." Li Jingjing touched her stomach and said with contentment in her voice.


    Gu Xia pouted, this girl had eaten two big bowls of noodles, how can she eat so much?


    When Li Jingjing saw Gu Xia looking at her strangely, she couldn''t help blushing, and she kicked Gu Xia''s legs with her feet in anger.


    "Hey! You dead girl, why are you kicking me? I didn''t say anything to you." Gu Xiained helplessly.


    "Hmph~"


    Li Jingjing wrinkled her nose and snorted softly, ignored Gu Xia, and put the bowls and chopsticks on the table in the kitchen.


    "Just put the bowls there, I''ll wash itter." Gu Xia said, looking at Li Jingjing''s back.


    "Krrrnnn!"


    "Ah!"


    The sound of breaking the bowl and Li Jingjings pained cry resounded in the kitchen.


    Gu Xia hurriedly got up and ran to the kitchen, and saw that the ground was full of pieces of bowls, while Li Jingjing was sitting on the ground, clutching her bleeding hand, breathing roughly in pain.


    Gu Xia hurriedly grabbed Li Jingjing''s hand, looked at it and found that except her thumb, all the fingers of her left hand were cut by the fragments. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep. It was said that the fingers were connected to the heart, so no wonder she was in such pain.


    Gu Xia held Li Jingjing''s arm, ready to help her up first.


    Before she could stand still, Li Jingjing cried out in pain and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Xia supported her, otherwise her butt would also be covered with the sharp debris as well.


    "Ouch~ I twisted my feet and I can''t walk."


    Gu Xia asked her to lean against the wall and she squatted down with her white thighs in full view. Gu Xia hurriedly stabilized his mind and looked at her ankles, and found that the swelling was very serious. It was likely that it was twisted quite badly.


    Helpless, Gu Xia could only carry her to the living room, feeling the softness on his back and the fragrance on the girl''s body, Gu Xia couldn''t help but feel a little nervous, but fortunately, Gu Xia was not really a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy and could control himself.


    On the other hand, Li Jingjing buried her head on Gu Xia''s neck. She felt the heat from Gu Xia''s hands on her thighs, as well as the pressure on her chest, all of which made Li Jingjing feel shy and flustered, her beautiful face turned rosy, even the roots of her ears turned red.


    Li Jingjing, Gu Xia and Gu Qin have known each other since childhood.


    Growing up together, when someone bullied her when she was a child, it was always Gu Xia who helped her. Gu Xia took care of her like a big brother, but as she grew older, it evolved into an inexplicable emotion. Li Jingjing didnt know if it was love or not, she only knew that she liked being with Gu Xia very much.


    "Come on, sit down lightly, I''ll take a basin of water to wash the wounds on your hands first, then put a Band-Aid on you, and finally rub safflower oil on your ankles."


    After saying that, Gu Xia went to the kitchen to get a washbasin and some water, to carefully clean Li Jingjing''s wound.


    Li Jingjing looked at Gu Xia who was looking down while seriously washing her hands, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. There was an inexplicable joy in her heart.


    "Okay, I''ll put a Band-Aid on for you."


    Gu Xia didn''t know what Li Jingjing was thinking. He wiped Li Jingjing''s hands dry, wiped some disinfected iodine, and then put the Band-Aid on.


    Gu Xia looked up at Li Jingjing and found that her face was blushing. He thought it was because of iodine.


    "Ah! What did you say?" Li Jingjing came back to her senses and asked with a bewildered face.


    "What''s wrong with you? What are you thinking? You didn''t even hear me when I was talking?" Gu Xia rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly.


    Li Jingjing''s face turned even redder, like her face was smeared with rouge. She lowered her head to hide her blush and didn''t speak.


    Gu Xia was puzzled, wondering what happened to this girl? She looked like a girl in love.


    However, Gu Xia soon shook his head, because he had never heard of Li Jingjing falling in love in high school in his previous life. Even if an ident happened in college, she was a sophomore. She is only a sophomore now, and she still has two or three years to go.


    Unable to figure it out, Gu Xia didn''t think too much about it. He went to the room and took out safflower oil, ready to massage her ankle.


    When he came out, Gu Xia felt it was funny that this girl was still bowing her head.


    "Okay, don''t lower your head like that, you look like an ostrich,e on, lift your feet up, I''ll give you a massage with safflower oil, or it will be bad if you hurt your bones. I will use safflower oil to massage your foot. It will be fine soon." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Yeah"


    Li Jingjing just wanted to lift her foot, but she immediately retracted it, because the skirt she was wearing was knee-level, if she lifted it up, her panties would be exposed. She didn''t n to go out to y today, so she wasn''t wearing safety pants.


    "What are you doing? You''re still in a trance, raise your feet!"


    Gu Xia saw Li Jingjing''s dy in raising her feet, so he had to lift her feet up and put them on his knees, then took off her sandals and put them down. He put a little safflower oil on his hands and massaged it gently.


    Gu Xia looked at Li Jingjing''s fair feet, and the tiny blue veins on them were clearly visible.


    During the whole process, Li Jingjing lowered her head with a flushed face, and the fingers of both her hands were constantly clenched.


    After about ten minutes of massage, the swelling at the ankle had subsided a lot. Gu Xia wanted to ask if Li Jingjing''s foot was better, but he looked up but caught a glimpse of the white again, and hurriedly turned his head, screaming "sin" in his heart.


    The two were in a lull for a while, and Gu Xia felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately he immediately adjusted his mentality and said, "Are your feet better? You should sit down for a while, watch TV, I''ll go shopping. Come to my house for dinner tonight, your mother wille too."


    "Oh"


    Li Jingjing replied in a low voice.


    Gu Xia looked at Li Jingjing who was still bowing her head, then shook his head and went out. Since he called Aunt Zhang over for dinner, although she would definitely bring some dishes at night, he still needed to buy some meat dishes.


    "Wheew!"


    Gu Xia wiped the sweat from his head, it was really hot today! It was likely that it was 38 degrees!

 Chapter 6: I miss her a little

    Chapter 6: I miss her a little


    It was summer, the asphalt road was roasted by the sun and exuded an unpleasant smell. It felt sticky and ufortable when he walked on the road.


    After walking for more than ten minutes, Gu Xia arrived at the vegetable market. There weren''t many people buying vegetables in this market at the moment. Many vegetable vendors were in their sheds. They used the cables to plug in electric fans, and enjoy the cool air leisurely. Many vegetables had already gone to waste from the heat of the sun.


    Gu Xia knew that Aunt Zhang would bring vegetables over at night, so he only bought some meat ingredients for dishes that he was good at, such as pork feet, fish, spare ribs. Of course, he also bought some vegetarian options such as tofu and potatoes, as well as some seasonings.


    After buying the vegetables, Gu Xia touched his pocket, and there was only less than 100 yuan left in it. Out of the 200 yuan that his dad gave him yesterday, it cost more than 100 yuan to buy ingredients. He was actively buying so many ingredients, after so many years. He didn''t care too much about saving money, after all, in front of the happiness of his family the money was really useless.


    Gu Xia wiped the sweat from his head, and his upper body shirt was already soaking wet. It was too hot this day. What Gu Xia hated most was summer, which was hot and ufortable, and there were also nasty things like mosquitoes and flies.


    When he got home, he found that Li Jingjing was leaning on the sofa and had fallen asleep, and the TV was still ying My Fair Princess. Gu Xia turned off the TV and turned the fan on to maximum power while shaking his head. He took care to not wake her, and went to his room to change his shirt. Although the weather was hot, if the wind from the electric fan kept blowing on his body, it would dry his sweat.


    Gu Xia looked at the clock. It was 3:30 pm. He thought that he had nothing to do, so he went to his room and took out the high school textbook to read. Although he was reborn 10 years in the past, Gu Xia had almost forgotten all this knowledge. Therefore, in order to avoid appearing ignorant when he went to the university, Gu Xia nned to review this knowledge. Although it was not very useful, it was better than not reading it.


    Gu Xia''s university admission examination was filled in for Jiangbei University. Jiangbei University was in the urban area, not too far from his home. It took only two hours by car. Gu Xia''s college entrance examination score was more than ten points higher than Jiangbei University''s admission score, so if he studied well, Jiangbei University was a sure thing.


    *****


    "Brother Xia, why are you reading the textbook for the second year of high school?"


    Li Jingjing, who was still a little sleepy, asked suspiciously when Gu Xia was reading the textbook for the second year of high school.


    "Hmm~ ah, I have nothing to do now, I''m studying this so that I won''t forget it."


    Gu Xia was so absorbed in the book that he didn''t even notice when Li Jingjing had came in. It wasn''t until she spoke that he came back to his senses and replied.


    "Oh, that''s right! Then I''ll read it too. I''ll be sitting here reading your high school textbook. If you don''t understand anything, you can call me!" She sat on the edge of Gu Xia''s bed, her ankles were stimted by the medicinal properties of the safflower oil, and she was feeling much better. Now she could even move her feet gently.


    Gu Xia squinted his eyes, and his eyes felt a little sore. So he massaged his eyes with his fingers. He didn''t want to be as near-sighted as in his previous life where he wore sses every day.


    Looking through the window, he saw that the sun had gone down, and the phone showed that it was a quarter past 6.


    Gu Xia put away his textbooks, and he was going to prepare for the evening meal. "You keep reading, I''m going to wash the vegetables and prepare to cook."


    "By the way, call your mother toe over for dinner. My parents are about toe back."


    And then he began to wash the vegetables. It took more than half an hour for Gu Xia to wash and cut the ingredients.


    His younger sister Gu Qin hade back while he was washing vegetables and was talking to Li Jingjing in the room.


    In Gu Qin''s room, the door was locked and the curtains were drawn. Li Jingjing was trying on Gu Qin''s new dress. She was just taking off her skirt when she was attacked by Gu Qin on her chest.


    "Jingjing, I haven''t seen you for a few days, and you''ve grown up again! I don''t know which bas*tard will be so lucky in the future." Gu Qin giggled andughed.


    "Who told you to touch me, hum, I''ll touch you too."


    Unwilling to be outdone, Li Jingjing threw Gu Qin onto the bed, and the two started fighting on the bed, asionally revealing spring light that would dazzle even a blind man''s eyes.


    *****


    "Sister Ling, are you off work?"


    "Yes, sister, let''s go and have dinner at my house. Xia Xia called us in the afternoon and asked us to invite you over for dinner, and Jingjing is also there."


    "Okay, I just brought some vegetables."


    "Oh, you should juste and eat, what are you doing with the vegetables?"


    Gu Xia heard voicesing from the door, it was his Mom and Aunt Zhang. Gu Xia put down the kitchen knife, when he opened the door and saw the two were still talking at the door, he couldn''t helpughing, "Auntie Zhang is here! Mom,e inside if you have something to say, why are you still standing at the door?"


    "Xiao Xia is cooking? Just now your mother told me about your cooking. I hear your food tastes even better than the restaurant, and this Auntie will try your craftsmanshipter." Aunt Zhang smiled when she saw Gu Xia wearing an apron. (Goblin: Here the word "Xiao" means little.)


    "Don''t listen to my mother, Auntie, talk to my mother first, and I''ll go finish cooking." Gu Xia took the dishes from Aunt Zhang.


    "Okay, let''s go."


    Gu Xia returned to the kitchen, opened the bag, and selected the water spinach and beans inside before washing.


    Then it was time for cooking. Gu Xia took out another new pot from the cab. He was going to use two pots for cooking, one for cooking fish and ribs, and one for cooking vegetables. He was going to use the pressure cooker to stew the pig feet.


    Not long after, Gu Xia''s father, Gu Feng, also came back, and Gu Xia also brought tes of fried dishes to the table.


    Gradually there were nine dishes on the table, including Soybean Pig Feet, Braised Crucian Carp, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Tomato and Egg Soup, Roasted Pork with Beans, Spinach Stalks, Mapo Tofu, Hot and Sour Potato Shreds, and Chili Fried Pork. It was all very tasty looking, and the strong aroma filled the entire dining room. (Author''s PS: I''m doing this in the middle of the night, are you hungry again when you heard the name of these dishes?) (Goblin: The author is evil!)


    "I didn''t expect Xiao Xia to be so good at cooking! These dishes are full of color and fragrance. They must taste very good. I didn''t expect Xiao Xia to have this skill. In the future when you find a wife, your wife will enjoy happiness." Aunt Zhang said in surprise, at first she heard Deng Ling say that Gu Xia''s cooking was like a restaurant, she definitely didn''t believe it, because no one would believe that a graduate freshman from high school had this skill, but after seeing these dishes, she believed it.


    "Didn''t I just say it, Xia Xia''s cooking is good!" Deng Ling said with a smile.


    "Brother Xia''s cooking is amazing!" Li Jingjing also praised.


    Before Gu Xia could speak, he heard Gu Qin say, "That''s right, you have to see who''s brother he really is." After speaking, she looked at Li Jingjing proudly, and those who didn''t know would think it was all actually her cooking.


    "You didn''t do it, so what are you proud of?" Li Jingjing immediately retorted.


    "Because he''s my brother!" Gu Qin nced at her and said.


    "Alright, alright, stop arguing, you two, let''s eat, Xia Xia go to the refrigerator and get me two bottles of cold beer, and then bring out the drinks for you Aunt Zhang and Jingjing." Gu Feng interrupted the quarrel between the two. Said to Gu Xia.


    "Okay"


    Gu Xia took arge bottle of fruit juice to Gu Qin and asked her to pour it on Aunt Zhang and the others, then took out four bottles of beer, two for his Dad and two for herself.


    "Xia Xia, you drink too?" Gu Feng said in surprise.


    "Well, it''s too hot today. So I wanted to try drinking some beer." Gu Xia smiled.


    "You didn''t you always say that beer was unpleasant to drink? Why are you suddenly drinking it today? You haven''t had alcohol before, so don''t drink too much." Gu Feng urged.


    "Okay, let''s eat, let Xia Xia drink if he wants to drink it! Xia Xia is going to university soon, and he''s an adult. If you can drink, so can he." Deng Ling red at Gu Feng and said.


    "Yeah, Brother Feng, it''s okay, he won''t get drunk if he doesn''t drink too much beer, Xiao Xia is almost eighteen." Aunt Zhang also agreed.


    Gu Xia didn''t speak. If he answered, he would have to continue talking about this topicter. He drank a ss in one breath, and the dryness and heat all over his body suddenly disappeared. Drinking cold beer this summer was really a joy in life!


    What was there more to say?


    There were warm food and happy hearts.


    The meal ended with smiles andughter. All nine dishes were eaten while everyone was talking, andughing. After the meal, Gu Xia automatically cleaned up the tes and went to wash the dishes.


    After Aunt Zhang and Li Jingjing left, his parents were still watching TV. His sister went back to the room with her mobile phone after taking a shower. Gu Xia went back to his room to turn on the air conditioner, then took a shower, and went back to the room after saying goodnight to his parents.


    Gu Xiay on the bed and looked at the familiar room, but there were many things and people missing in the room.


    "Ah I miss her a little"

 Chapter 7: The one who wont get girls

    Chapter 7: The one who wont get girls


    Gu Xia didn''t know why, but he went to bed very early that night and it was before ten o''clock. This was also because mobile phones were not smart and did not have as many functions. Therefore, people of this time would watch TV at night, or chat in QQ.


    What Gu Xia didn''t know was that there was a girl downstairs, looking at the third floor of his house with aplicated face. The girl was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, and it couldn''t hide her good figure even at such a young age. She watched on for more than ten minutes before leaving.


    This girl wass Tu Sisi who hade to Xinghua Road for supper with her sister.


    This night, Tu Sisi''s sister, Tu Fangfang, got paid, so she invited her sister to have ate-night snack. She originally nned to eat it near her home, but who knew that Tu Sisi woulde here to eat. Tu Fangfang noticed that her sister was very familiar with this ce, but thought that Tu Sisi must''ve been here before. How would she know that her sister had lived here for several years in her previous life. So, she keptining that Tu Sisi had brought her to such a far away ce for supper, which cost her dozens of yuan for a taxi.


    "Why did it take you so long to use the toilet? The barbecue is already here, let''s eat it! I have to say, although it is a little far away, the taste is pretty good." Tu Fangfang said when she saw her sistering back.


    "If it didn''t taste good, then I wouldn''t have brought you here to eat." Tu Sisi said in a low voice.


    She looked at this familiar shop. Compared with her previous life, the facilities in it were much newer, and the proprietress was only in her twenties, just at the age of blooming flowers.


    "Why do you seem so nervous these days? Are you secretly thinking about your little boyfriend outside?" Tu Fangfang said with a look of gossip on her face.


    "Did you think about your boyfriend yourself?" Tu Sisi nced at her and said.


    Her sister was 6 years older than her. Since she didn''t go to the university, she went out to work very early. She had been working in a hotel.


    One day, she brought her boyfriend home and said that she was going to get married. At that time, she was pregnant, which made her parents and herself stunned. How could she bring a boyfriend home quietly, and dere that she was pregnant? Fortunately, her boyfriend, Tang Qiusheng, was very nice, and he was very kind to her sister, so there was no objection from her family.


    "Nono, don''t talk nonsense!" Tu Fangfang blushed when she heard those words, and then quickly denied it.


    "Haha~"


    Tu Sisi smiled and looked at her. What else could she say? Yes, she just had to keep watching and experience it herself.


    Tu Fangfang was in a state of turmoil. She felt that she had done a good job of keeping secrets! And she had only been seeing him for less than a year, how did Sisi know that? Did she bump into her on a date? Or did she peek at her phone?


    Seeing her uneasy look, Tu Sisi felt a lot better. While eating the grilled fish, she secretly said in her heart, <em>No matter what you think, you can never imagine that I was reborn ten years from the future. Not only do I know that you are in love, but I also know when you will get married and have children.''</em>


    It''s just that Tu Sisi would never say these words out loud, otherwise it would be too shocking.


    *****


    The next morning, Gu Xia got up early to run as usual, then finished breakfast and went out at 8 o''clock.


    He took out his bicycle and was about to go to the district square. Since he agreed to go to the ss reunion, Gu Xia would naturally go there on time.


    But the appointment was to meet at 10 o''clock. He wanted to cut his hair first. Now he had very long hair on his head. Gu Xia didn''t like it very much. Although this hairstyle was popr now, but as a person who had been reborn, Gu Xia Xia couldn''t really ept it.


    In the barbershop, he asked the barber to shave the hair on both sides and the back ording to his own requirements, and make short pieces on the top. Only then did Gu Xia pay for it with satisfaction. This hairstyle wasfortable. Before this haircut, his bangs covered his eyes, the hair on the sideburns and the back reached to his neck, it was really unbearable! It felt so refreshing now! Now that he had cut all that hair off, his head felt a lot lighter in an instant.


    The men and women on the street had the same old hairstyles and looked at Gu Xia with strange eyes. They seemed to be wondering why he kept his hair so short and did not follow the trend at all.


    Gu Xia rode his bicycle and moved slowly to the square. The sun was not very strong today, so it was not particrly hot.


    When we arrived at the square, the time was 9: 40 am. Gu Xia locked his bicycle and walked to the fountain in the square. There were many adults and children ying in the square, and some elderly people were exercising.


    When Gu Xia walked to the fountain, there were already more than a dozen people standing there chatting. Gu Xia looked at those people, some he could recognise, and for some he had no impression at all.


    "Gu Xia is here." ss leader Li Xia shouted.


    "Hello. Haven''t the others arrived yet ? It''s 10 o''clock." Gu Xia nodded and inquired.


    "I just asked in the group chat, they''re almost here!" Li Xia said while looking at her phone.


    "Gu Xia, why did you get such an ugly hairstyle? It''s not as good-looking as it used to be. Did you forget that now our long hair is popr." A boy who was not impressed by Gu Xia''s new hairstyle looked at his hair andmented.


    "Hehe, I think this is cooler." Gu Xia smiled.


    "I think Gu Xia''s hairstyle is good, he seems much more refreshed, and he looks energetic, so he looks like a boy." Said another girl named Tang Dandan.


    "He he " Gu Xia smiled, touched his nose, but didn''t answer.


    "Hey~ Gu Xia, I heard that you were admitted to Jiangbei University? We can be ssmates from now on." Li Xia smiled.


    "Wel ss leader, you also went to Jiangbei. With your grades, aside from those major universities in the capital, there was no problem getting into a first ss university, right?" Gu Xia asked in surprise.


    "I was too nervous during the entrance examination, and I didn''t perform well. My dad asked me to repeat the exam. I didn''t want to repeat the exam, so I applied for Jiangbei University." Li Xia''s face darkened, and she responded with a somewhat depressed mood.


    "It''s okay, even if you didn''t get into the one you wanted, you can still learn things in the one you have. As long as you study hard, who can say what will happen after you find work in the future? So many students from those famous universities struggle to find jobs everywhere every year, don''t they?" Gu Xiaforted her.


    "Yeah! ss leader, it''s alright, don''t be sad." Tang Dandan also spoke up.


    "Hey, it''s okay, it''s been a long time since I finished the exam, and I''ve figured it out a long time ago. Maybe this is my life! Besides, who can say what will happen in the future? There are so many rich people in the world, and some of them have never gone to university. Didn''t they still seed? Right!" Li Xia said with a smile.


    Li Xia saw a group of peopleing from a distance, and recognized that they were her ssmates and the teacher. So she turned her head and said, "Okay, the teacher and other students are also here, let''s go over and say hello to the teacher!"


    "It''s good to see you, head teacher."


    "I hope you''ve been well, Mr. Zhang."


    "Our teacher is dressed very handsomely today!"


    "The ss leader also looks very beautiful today!"


    *****


    The two groups of people met, and everyone said hello, then began chatting.


    Gu Xia felt that he couldn''t fit in and had nothing to say. After all, he didn''t even remember two-thirds of the people. Many people still listened to them chatting and talking about their life. His psychological age was different, and he had nothing to talk about with them, so he was just standing on one corner.


    He watched them chatting happily, those who were admitted to university were looking forward to their campus life, and those who didn''t were talking about what they were going to do, exuding a high-spirited atmosphere.


    "Gu Xia!"


    Gu Xia turned his head to look, it turned out that it was the fatty Li Yuanbao who was calling him. This guy was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and he was sweating profusely, wiping the sweat off his face from time to time.


    "Fatty, it''s time for you to control your weight. How fat are you? Exercise more, or you won''t be able to get girls like this." Gu Xiaughed.


    "Who said I can''t get girls! I watched on TV that many girls like fat boys, they say they have a sense of security. But youyou were already so thin, and now that you cut your hair so short, you look thinner, just like a bamboo pole. You will make girls feel insecure like this, and you are the one who won''t get any girl." Fatty pouted and said.


    Gu Xia shook his head with a wry smile. He wanted to use the allure of girls to stimte this friend and make him lose weight, but he was taught by him instead.


    "ssmates, let''s go! The bus has arrived." The head teacher, Mr. Huang, shouted.


    Everyone walked to the gate of the square together, and saw a dpidated bus parked on the side of the road from a distance. Everyone got on the bus and took a seat. The bus drove to Meiling in the suburbs.

 Chapter 8: On the bus

    Chapter 8: On the bus


    Meiling was located on the edge of WL District. It was a famous tourist attraction in Jiangbei City. It was surrounded by mountains and had beautiful scenery. Many people would go there for outings and campings. In addition, if the locals visited there, the ticket was only 20 per person. If someone had 50 yuan, the extra money would be reserved for everyone to eat and y.


    Based on the experience Gu Xia had of driving by himself from the square to Meiling in his previous life, it would take about an hour and a half to get there. It was almost noon. Everyone in the bus was chatting, and some were ying on their mobile phones. Gu Xia sat with Fatty sitting in the seat beside him. Fatty was looking at his phone andughing, Gu Xia nced at it and found that this guy was reading one of those perverted womanizer novels. He was reading, smiling, and the expression on his face was lewd. Gu Xia was speechless. In this day and age, unlike in the future, there was a great shortage of entertainment.


    These days online literature was particrly popr. After all, there were still more teenage boys reading novels these days. And those boys liked to read some womanizing novels. How many wives did they have to have! More than ten! Novels that are written in a special way were very popr.


    Gu Xia could honestly im that he had no love for such novels both in his past life and this life.


    Moreover, as a reborn person, he had already read the novels written by other great writers. After reading all those novels, it was boring to read them again, so he did not read them. It was better to rest and sleep in the bus when he had time.


    "Ahem! Everyone be quiet, I just asked the driver, it will take more than an hour to get to Meiling, and it''s boring to sit in the bus. I happened to bring a microphone and stereo from home, why don''t you all sing? We will sing and pass the time. How about it?" Li Xia, the ss leader, took out a microphone and a small speaker from her backpack and spoke up.


    "Okay~"


    Everyone responded happily. Even Fatty stopped reading novels and stared straight at the microphone. KTV singing culture was quite high these days. After taking sses, they basically hadnt gotten the time to visit karaoke that much. So at the moment singing was still a very fun activity for everyone. (Goblin: Karaoke Television.)


    Gu Xia shook his head helplessly. He wanted to sleep, but now he couldn''t. Gu Xia couldn''t help but be a little puzzled. He couldn''t remember if he had such a party in his previous life. Although he went to the factory in his previous life, he still went there at the end of July. If there was a party, he should remember it, but Gu Xia had no impression of it at all. Could it be that due to his rebirth there was a butterfly effect?


    "ss leader, you go first, you are so beautiful, you must sing well." A boy suggested.


    Li Xia smiled at the boy when she heard the words, and the boy suddenly had an excited look on his face. At first nce, you could tell that this guy had a secret crush on Li Xia, and some other boys who had a secret crush on Li Xia suddenly secretly hated themselves for not taking this opportunity to express themselves.


    "Okay, I''ll start first. I''m not good at singing. Don''tugh at me." Li Xia didn''t dy. The audio microphone was originally from her own home, and she usually sang at home, so she still had a sense of her own level. She had confidence, plus boys and girls of this age, who didn''t like to express themselves?


    The two teachers watched with great interest. After all, the university entrance examination was over, and everyone wanted to have a good time.


    "Then let me sing a song of courage to everyone!" Li Xia cleared her throat after speaking.


    "Finally made the decision


    I don''t care what others say


    So long as you are also certain


    Love only needs courage


    To face the world


    As long as you are certain


    My love is meaningful


    It must be said that Li Xia''s singing was very good. After singing, everyone apuded enthusiastically and praised her.


    "Then who will be next?" Li Xia asked after singing.


    Gu Xia looked at the expressions on many people''s faces, and saw that even Fatty was hesitating.


    Gu Xia looked at Fatty and suddenly had a fun idea.


    When Fatty was not paying attention, he pushed him hard, forced the still hesitating Fatty out of his seat, then pointed at him and said, "Li Yuanbao wants to sing."


    Gu Xia gave Fatty, who was still a bit confused, a cheering look,pletely ignoring Fatty''s resentful re.


    "Okay then, next Li Yuanbao will sing." Li Xia shouted with the microphone.


    Everyone in the bus looked at Fatty, and he suddenly felt a little weak in his knee. When had he experienced such a situation where so many people were watching! His face was flushed all of a sudden, but Fatty still went to the front of the bus to take the microphone.


    Gu Xia looked at the red-faced fat man and couldn''t helpughing.


    "Sing~"


    "Come on, sing, Fatty!"


    "Come down if you can''t sing, I''ll sing."


    When the others saw Fatty standing there and not singing, they allughed at him.


    When Fatty heard all this, his face turned even redder. Gu Xia saw Fatty looking at him, and immediately gave him an encouraging look and gave him a thumbs up.


    Maybe Gu Xia''s encouragement yed a role, and Fatty sang without saying anything more. He sang the Red Sun of Hong Kong singer Li Keqin, but Fatty''s voice was not suitable for this song. Although he worked really hard to sing it correctly, this song needed to be sung very fast, and it was also a Cantonese song, so Fatty couldn''t keep up with the tune.


    "Booo~"


    There was a burst of boos in the bus, and it made singing even more unbearable for Fatty.


    "Fatty, don''t go up if you can''t sing. Do you want everyone to see your fat face?" A boy sitting behind Gu Xiaughed. (Goblin: I just dont get why people are so mean to fat people. Its the same for short people as well. We are all just trying to live, and living is quite hard already. So why not leave them be. Dont think that this only happens in novels and dramas. This happens a lot in reality as well.)


    Hearing those words, Fatty could no longer continue singing. He lowered his head and put down the microphone, ready to go back to his seat.


    But seeing Gu Xia get up and walk in front of the person who justughed at him, Fatty thought that he was going to stand up for him, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold him back, but Gu Xia patted his hand, indicating that it was okay.


    Everyone else in the bus also looked over, afraid that Gu Xia would hit someone, they were all ready to take action.


    Gu Xia looked at the thin and weak boy with sses in front of him. He just knew that his name was Li Cheng. The guy looked at him with a frightened expression, with his hands in front of his chest, for fear that Gu Xia would hit him.


    "Did you think I''ll hit you? You''re wrong, I won''t hit you, I''m just here to tell you some things. Just now you wereughing at Fatty for singing badly, but Fatty at least had the courage to go to the microphone, how about you? Do you dare? When youughed at Fatty for being fat, did you take a closer look at yourself, you look like you suffer from severe kidney deficiency, and your hair probably hasn''t been washed for a week?


    And there is this stench on your body, its so bad that even the flies are staying away from you. Just look at the ssmate next to you, although he is sitting with you, even he is ashamed to see your actions. In fact, he dislikes your actions very much.


    Oh by the way, what is your name? Sorry I forgot! Although we have been in the same ss for so many years, you couldn''t even make me remember your name! You are like a transparent person, its pitiful! When you saw that Fatty couldn''t sing well, youughed hard at him, so as to make yourself more noticeable, but you are wrong, when youugh at others, first you should see if you yourself are any better!" Gu Xia said expressionlessly. (Goblin: I think thats enough MC, you are now walking into the realm of hypocrisy.)


    Everyone else in the bus, including the teachers, looked at Gu Xia in astonishment. They didn''t expect that this boy, who was usually so taciturn in the ss, would insult someone so badly.


    Li Cheng was left speechless by Gu Xia''s words and his face turned red. When he was told off by Gu Xia, he felt that the situation was really bad. But he said angrily, "Who do you think you are? Who are you to say that to me? You thought I didn''t see it, you pushed Fatty out just now, and he didn''t want to go at all. Wasnt it because you pushed him, that he had to sing? Or do you think its okay to push others?"


    "Yes, Fatty was pushed out by me, I admit it, but at least Fatty dares to sing, how about you? Lets give you the microphone, do you dare to sing? Can you sing?" Gu Xia continued.


    "Yes, I don''t dare to sing, and I can''t sing. I have never sung with a microphone, but what about you? Do you dare to sing? Can you sing? Don''t pretend to be a big-tailed wolf here, thinking you are some big deal!" Li Cheng asked Gu Xia provocatively with bloodshot eyes due to anger.


    "Hehe, you said I didn''t dare to sing? And I can''t sing? What a joke, then listen with your ears and see if I can sing or not! But if I sing well, then you have to apologize to Fatty, and if I don''t sing well, then I will apologize to you. Do you dare to gamble?"


    "Okay, who''s afraid of who?"


    Gu Xia walked to the microphone and said to the ss leader, "ss leader, do you mind if I sing?"


    "Okay, you can sing!" Li Xia looked at Gu Xia with surprised eyes and said.


    Gu Xia took the microphone, looked at the people in the bus and said, "I''ll give you a song that best expresses my mood right now."

 Chapter 9: 36b

    Chapter 9: 36b


    That''s right, Gu Xia was going to sing the song "Ten Years".


    Gu Xia felt that this song really expressed himself the most at the moment. The same ten years, the same feelings.


    Gu Xia plugged the data cable of the mobile phone into the stereo, and the prelude to the song sounded in the stereo.


    Gu Xia closed his eyes and recalled all kinds of events from his past lives, both happy and sad


    If those two words didn''t exist


    I wouldn''t find myself in such distress


    Ten years ago


    I didn''t know you


    You didn''t belong to me


    We are still what we used to be


    Like strangers


    We walk through familiar streets


    Ten yearster


    We are friends and we can say hello


    Its just weve lost our love


    No reason to hug anymore


    Lovers eventually be friends


    (Goblin: "Ten Years" is a song sung by Eason Chan,posed by Lin Xi and Chen Xiaoxia, and arranged by Chen Huiyang .)


    After singing, tears had already welled up in Gu Xias eyes.


    <em>Live your life well! </em>He said goodbye to his past life with this song.


    Gu Xia opened his eyes and found that everyone was staring straight at him, and their eyes were full of emotions due to shock.


    "p! p!"


    "Superb! I didn''t expect Gu Xia to sing so well, it made this old man almost cry." Teacher Huang, the head teacher, took the lead in apuding.


    Another math teacher, Teacher Zhang, also apuded. With the two teachers taking the lead, the apuse sounded like a tidal wave.


    "Young man, you sing really well, it''s not much worse than the original one, and I could hear that you sang this song with strong emotions, and it was really good." The driver also praised him .


    "Thank you everyone!"


    Gu Xia took a deep breath, thanked everyone, put down the microphone and looked in Li Cheng''s direction.


    Everyone also followed Gu Xia''s eyes. Gu Xia sang this song so well, even the teacher and the driver agreed, so Li Cheng must have lost, and everyone was ready to see if Li Cheng would apologize.


    Li Cheng''s expression changed constantly, but he finally stood up, walked up to Li Yuanbao and said, "Student Li Yuanbao, I''m sorry, I shouldn''t haveughed at you, please forgive me."


    "It''s okay, it''s okay." He waved his hand and forgave him.


    After Li Cheng apologized, he nced at Gu Xia, as if to say that I apologized, okay.


    Gu Xia nodded slightly following his gaze, and then returned to his seat.


    Afterwards, some ssmates went up to sing, but after listening to Gu Xia''s song, they suddenly felt bored when they heard others sing.


    Gu Xia leaned on the seat and looked at the people and things that kept shing past the window, his eyes did not blink, as if something attracted him outside the window.


    Time passed quickly, the bus finally arrived at the gate of Meiling, everyone got off the bus one after another, and then the ss leader Li Xia bought the tickets and distributed them to everyone. Then they went to the restaurant next to the gate to eat. After all, it was already noon. After dinner, everyone lined up to enter the scenic spot.


    Gu Xia walked at the back, breathing the fresh air, looking at the green everywhere, and his whole being seemed rxed and happy.


    The most famous attraction of Meiling was the Lion Peak. The Lion Peak was famous because the peak was shaped like a squatting lion. When youe to Meiling, you must go to the Lion Peak. They could see the Lion Peak from the entrance of the scenic spot at the foot of the mountain.


    Because the group had just eaten, they all walked slowly to the Lion Peak, chatting andughing along the way. The head teacher brought a camera and took pictures of the students from time to time.


    "The way up the mountain is ahead. This road is not easy to walk. Everyone, be careful, don''t fall, let''s take a group photo when we go to the top of the mountain." The head teacher shouted from the front.


    "Okay~"


    The people behind all responded, full of energy.


    "Gu Xia, why are you walking at the end?" Fatty walked next to Gu Xia and asked.


    "Isn''t it the same in the front or the end? Why do I have to walk in the front?" Gu Xiaughed.


    "But, butdidn''t the teacher say that you have to fight for the first ce in everything? You have to fight for it in studies, exams, work, and everything. I think this is a good thing." Fatty said.


    "That''s right, but if you''re fighting, it depends on the reason and whether you really need it or not. If you obviously don''t need it, what''s the point of fighting?" Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "Anywaysthank you for today." Fatty suddenly looked at Gu Xia seriously and said.


    "Thank me for what?" Gu Xia asked suspiciously.


    "Thank you for helping me in the bus."


    "If I hadn''t pushed you out, you wouldn''t have been ridiculed, so I had to take responsibility for what I did. In the end, I shouldn''t have pushed you out." Gu Xia patted Fatty on the shoulder.


    "Even if you pushed me forward, I wasughed at for my bad singing. If I sang well, I would not be ridiculed, but praised." Fatty said with a smile.


    "Okay, let''s skip this topic, let''s not talk about it. By the way, how about work? What did your parents say?" Gu Xia asked.


    "My parents didn''t agree with me to do sales. They still insisted that I go to the factory. They said that the sry was stable. I couldn''t convince them. I''ll be ready to go in a few days." Fatty smiled wryly.


    "That''s it then. That''s also fine. When you''ve done something for yourself in there, I''ll go to join you. Then you''ll have to take care of the food and the girls." Gu Xia joked.


    Sure enough, it was still the same as in his previous life. Fatty still went to the factory. But he decided to let it be, hed just have to go see the guy himself when he had the time! They couldn''t be aspletely unconnected as they were in his previous life.


    "When it''s time for vacation, remember toe back and hang out with me," Gu Xia said.


    "Don''t worry, wait for me toe back and invite you to eat and drink spicy food." Fatty patted his chest and said.


    "Hehe, don''t go showing off your 36b." Gu Xia said and ran forward.


    "What 36b? Ah! Gu Xia, don''t run, you stinky brat called me 36b? Stop, I''m going to beat you up today." Fatty reacted, and immediately roared and ran after Gu Xia.


    However, due to Fatty''s loud shouting, everyone on the road heard it andughed. Some students didn''t understand what 36b was, so they asked the people around them. A student looked at the female students in the ss again, and said with a smile: "Well, it might be urate. It''s bigger than the girls in our ss, and it even bounces while running." But, he immediately waved his hand to apologize.


    The girls looked at Fatty, and then looked at themselves, and suddenly their hearts were full of grief and anger. They really couldnt evenpare to the chest of a boy! It was really shameful!


    All me went to Gu Xia for saying 36b, and hurting their self-esteem.


    Gu Xia didn''t know that he was being cursed by the girls, but he wouldn''t care even if he knew.


    After all, Gu Xia was a person with a rtively low EQ. Just take Li Jingjing''s strange expression in the incidents yesterday as an example, if it was someone who has been in love for a long time or has a high EQ, wouldnt he immediately realize what was in her mind?


    But Gu Xia didn''t notice it. This was also rted to Gu Xia''s previous life and emotional experience. In his previous life, Gu Xia graduated from high school and stayed in the factory and the kitchen, and only ever fell in love with Tu Sisi. The two connected as if they belonged to each other from the start. It could very well be said that Gu Xia had no experience in pursuing girls, and it had molded Gu Xia''s current personality. (Goblin: EQ is emotional intelligence. In simple words, hes just dense. Now we know the main reason behind their conflict in their past life, and the author is also telling us that there will be a lot of drama due to it in the future. On the bright side, he seems to be redeeming his past mistakes. So lets see just how much he can change.)

 Chapter 10: To go or not to go?

    Chapter 10: To go or not to go?


    It was already 3 o''clock in the afternoon when they managed to climb the Lion Peak. Everyone was a little tired. Even if the weather was not very hot today, everyone was sweating profusely. After a short rest, the teacher instructed everyone to stand in line and asked a nearby tourist to help take a group photo. Then they all parted in groups of twos or threes, and chatted while sitting or standing.


    Gu Xia stood on the lion head of the Lion Peak. From there, he could get a panoramic view of the WL area. Gu Xia couldn''t help but think of a poem, "I will be at the top of the mountain, and the hills will be small before my sight."


    Although this Lion Peak was not famous for its size, it was about the same height as the other mountains of Meiling. And it was the highest among the Meiling mountains. So the view was quite grand.


    Gu Xia took a deep breath, and a sense of freedom was born in his heart. This kind of carefree feeling felt really good!


    *****


    On the way back, the bus was unusually quiet. Everyone was tired, some were sleeping, and some were ying with their mobile phones quietly, not as noisy as when they came.


    Gu Xia helplessly looked at the sleeping Fatty. This guy was very noisy today and he didn''t rest at all. And he really had enough leisure to eat food then go to sleep!


    When it was time to get off at the square, the sky had already turned dark. After Gu Xia said his goodbyes, he rode his bicycle to his house. The road was full of people rushing off work. At times like this, there were not too many cars on the road, so there was not that much of a traffic. However, the traffic of this time period was not standardized yet. Unliketer, when there would be traffic police on duty at every intersection, the people now just crossed the road at will, regardless of whether the red light or the green light was on.


    When he got home, his parents had alreadye back and the food was ready. After dinner, he just sat on the sofa and watched TV.


    "Brother Feng, have you received the money you lent your friend for building that hotel yet? After receiving the money, we will demolish the old house in the vige and make a new one. Everyone has built a three- or four-story western-style house there, but only ours is still old." Deng Ling asked.


    "Oh that! Not yet, you also know that Gu Yun is not only my childhood friend, but were also from the same vige. His hotel has just opened, so how can he have money to give me back! He asked me today if he should convert the 200,000 yuan into shares and distribute them to me, but I did not agree." Gu Feng shook his head and said.


    "Hmph! He wants to be clever and give shares. Who knows whether his hotel is at a loss or a profit? And we will also have to pay 70,000 to 80,000 yuan to help him renovate the hotel. You have to ask him to be quick, you understand?" Deng Ling urged her husband.


    "I know, I know, I''ll deal with it." Gu Feng said a little irritably, in fact, he was a little interested in investing in shares, but after what his wife said just now, he decided to forget it.


    Gu Xia heard the conversation between his parents and his thoughts turned. Gu Xia had a deep impression on this incident. Gu Yun, a childhood friend of his father who was also from the vige, opened a hotel in the Xinjian District. The building of the hotel was the old dormitory of the armed police. It was rented to him, so the venue was veryrge.


    It was rumored that it took a lot of money to open it. The cafeteria was veryrge, which could amodate about 300 tables for banquets. There was also a 5-story hotel building with hundreds of parking spaces. After the opening, it caused a sensation in the whole area, due to the new area not having such a big hotel before. And the most important thing was that the parking space was the best of all the hotels in the new area. How did the hotel make money? Of course, the most important thing was the banquets. There were many parking spaces in the hotel so naturally, many people who held banquets would choose this ce.


    He remembered that in his previous life, the business of this hotel was very popr. Every year, the reservations for the banquets were lined up from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. In just two years, it opened branches all over Jiangbei City, with a worth of nearly 100 million.


    Gu Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Dad, I think you should be a shareholder, now the catering industry is a hot cake. And Uncle Gu''s hotel is very big, it can amodate a lot of people and has a big parking space. Plus there is also the hotel business, its poprity is certain. And who do you think rented him that hotel? The Armed police!


    He either has a good rtionship or knows someone who is an official, and his hotel is surrounded by government units. As soon as his hotel opens, lets not talk about the people who will hold banquets, the people from the government will also drive in a lot of business. So it is a sure thing for him to make money, so I suggest that you think about it.


    Dad, if the business is sessful and makes money, then the annual dividend will be very objective. This is a long-term investment and will return considerable ie. Even if they dont earn much, the catering industry generally does not lose money. "


    "No, no, I don''t agree. I want the money now, and we need it now." Deng Ling said hurriedly.


    Gu Feng didn''t say a word, he frowned for a moment and said, "Xia Xia, what you said makes sense, I will consider it carefully."


    "Anyway, I disagree." Deng Ling still insisted on her own opinion.


    "Let''s go, dont make a ruckus, let''s go back to the room and talk." Gu Feng got up and dragged Deng Ling back to their room.


    "Bang!" And closed the door.


    *****


    "Qinqin, don''t just watch these romantic TV dramas all day long, read more books, you will have to attend the university entrance examination next year, so try to do well and make our parents happy." Gu Xia said while patting Gu Qin on her head.


    "Dont worry, I''m in the top 30!" Gu Qin rolled his eyes and said proudly.


    "Hehe, you are speaking as if that is something amazing. If you can enter the top ten like Jingjing, then your future will be more stable." Gu Xiaughed.


    "Hmph~ You don''t have to tell me that." Gu Qin went back to her room angrily. Ever since she was a child, she could notpare with Li Jingjing in her studies. Even if she worked very hard, her exam scores were not as high as hers. All that made the prideful Gu Qin quite discouraged.


    *****


    In a blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and there were only 5 days left to leave school. During this one month Gu Xia basically stayed at home every day and read books, not only from high school, but also junior high school. Sometimes he had to ask Gu Qin or Li Jingjing about something he didn''t understand, so they kept asking questions, but every time Gu Xia just smiled and didn''t say a word, because he couldn''t answer at all.


    And his father finally persuaded his mother to be a shareholder in the hotel. ording to the hotel''s investment of about 2 million yuan, they gave his father 10% of the shares. His father did not have to participate in the hotel management, and had 5,000 yuan worth of free meals in the hotel every year, plus the year-end dividends.


    During this period, Gu Xia secretly went near Tu Sisi''s house once, but did not see Tu Sisi. As he did not get to see Tu Sisi, Gu Xia had toe back without any results. He went there just to make sure one thing, whether Tu Sisi was also reborn like him. Maybe she didnt, and that Gu Xia felt quite rxed. Or maybe, deep down he didn''t want to believe the opposite?


    *****


    In the middle of the night, Gu Xia put down his phone, rubbed his sore eyes. He was chatting with Fatty just now. He learned that this guy was doing okay in the factory, saying that there were many beautiful girls, and he was losing weight to pursue a girl. It was a girl in the workshop of course.


    They had been chatting until it was 11:30, and when Gu Xia said that he was going to sleep, Fatty reluctantly stopped sending messages.


    "Beepbeep!"


    Gu Xia picked up the phone and looked at it. It was a message from Li Sicheng, a junior high school ssmate. Gu Xia looked at the message and was stunned, because just like in his previous life, Li Sicheng asked him toe meet a girl with him.


    Gu Xia couldn''t give a reply for a long time

 Chapter 11: A near miss

    Chapter 11: A near miss


    "DiDi..DiDi"


    "Did you fall asleep? So what do you say?" Li Sicheng asked again.


    Gu Xia came back to his senses, and he was struggling for an answer. He clearly wanted to avoid going there, but there was a voice in his heart that seemed to say "go", and that made Gu Xia very confused.


    Gu Xia took a deep breath, seemingly having made a decision, and replied, "Ill go."


    "Okay, then I''ll let you know at the time."


    Instead of avoiding the matter, it was better to face it directly. Didnt he want to know if she had been reborn? Maybe this was an opportunity.


    After Gu Xia made a decision, he felt much more rxed physically and mentally, so he turned off the lights and went to sleep.


    *****


    Next day in the afternoon, Gu Xia received a message saying that the meet was at 6:00 p.m. in the Liu Ji night snack shop downstairs, which was the one Gu Xia often went to.


    Gu Xia made dinner at home, told his sister that he would be going out, then took a cold shower and went out. He walked to Xinghua Road, looked at the sign of Liu Ji Supper Shop, looked dazed for a while, and then after a deep breath, walked through the door.


    "What does this handsome want to eat?" the waiter asked.


    "My friend is inside." Gu Xia pointed to the second floor and said.


    "Okay."


    Gu Xia saw that the proprietress was busy collecting money and cing orders, and smiled, it was great!


    Gu Xia walked up to the second floor and saw that Li Sicheng and Wang Qian were sitting there. Nothing was ced on the table. It was likely that they had just arrived.


    Li Sicheng sat there with a blushing face. Gu Xia did not see that familiar figure, and his heart rxed. He was feeling a little nervous, but he rxed because Tu Sisi didn''te. He was nervous because if Tu Sisi was reborn, she would know that she would meet him today. Is that why she didn''te?


    Gu Xia didn''t know, he just shook his head and walked in the direction of Li Sicheng.


    "Gu Xia, here!"


    When Li Sicheng saw Gu Xia, he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted. Sitting here alone felt like he was sitting on pins and needles!


    Gu Xia smiled. Li Sicheng was not very good atmunicating, and was a person who usually did not talk a lot. Now that he had to chat with a girl, he felt really shy.


    Gu Xia walked over, looked at Wang Qian and said, "Hello, I''m Gu Xia, this guy''s best friend."


    "Hello, I''m Wang Qian." Wang Qian introduced herself.


    "Have you ordered anything?" Gu Xia asked with a smile.


    "Not yet, we were waiting for you to order! This is your territory, you must know what would be good to eat." After seeing Gu Xia, Li Sicheng said with a smile.


    "Okay, then I''ll go ce the order, but don''t me me for being a wolf~" Gu Xia said and stood up.


    Li Sicheng didn''t study after graduating from junior high school. He studied cooking in a restaurant. After learning, he went to Jiangbei University''s snack street to open a small fast food shop. He could earn seven or eight thousand every month minus the expenses. Wang Qian was acquainted with him. Li Sicheng became totally opposite of his usual self on QQ. He could talk fearlessly on QQ, which was why he could ask Wang Qian out for dinner.


    Gu Xia walked downstairs, and the waiter asked, "Handsome, what do you want?"


    "One serving of lobster, one serving of crab shells, two pieces of roasted meat, three servings of chicken feet, and four bottles of beer, one bottle of drink." Gu Xia said quickly without even looking at the menu on the kitchen counter.


    "Okay, wait a moment." The waiter quickly finished writing down his order.


    Gu Xia turned around and was about to walk downstairs. Suddenly, he turned and ran out the door. He ran to the opposite corner before stopping. He frowned, looked around, and then walked back.


    Gu Xia just saw a figure walk into this corner alley. That figure looked a lot like Tu Sisi, but when he ran over, he didn''t see anyone.


    Gu Xia shook his head, thinking that he was just hallucinating.


    What Gu Xia didn''t know was that at the corner, a girl was looking at his back with tears running down her cheeks. This girl was Tu Sisi. She just hid behind a garbage truck and didn''te out until Gu Xia walked away.


    Today, she actually promised Wang Qian that she woulde, but she was dyed for a while because of a temporary incident. So, she camete.


    She actually didn''t want toe with Wang Qian, but there was always a desire in her heart that drove her toe, so she came in the end. She almost went in, but when she walked to the door, she saw that Gu Xia was ordering food, and then quickly turned around and walked away.


    Tu Sisi hid in the corner and kept crying. She finally became sure of one thing, that Gu Xia was also reborn, otherwise he would not have run over so quickly when he saw her figure.


    But since he was reborn, why didn''t hee to find her?


    Did he want to leave her alone?


    Or did he not know she was reborn at all?


    Tu Sisi didn''t know, she cried for a while, then she got up and called a cab and left. On the way, she sent a message to Wang Qian saying that she was noting.


    There were always so many near misses in life.


    *****


    Gu Xia walked upstairs with a frown on his face.


    The dishes and beer had already arrived, and he sat next to Li Sicheng.


    "Sicheng, go to the opposite seat, it''s not convenient for me to eat if you sit here." Gu Xia said deliberately, gesturing to Li Sicheng with his eyes as he spoke.


    Who would have thought that this guy pretended not to understand what he meant, he didn''t speak, and just handed a bottle of wine to him.


    Gu Xia became a little speechless. He created opportunities for this guy, but he pretended to be stupid, and so Gu Xia had no choice but to quit.


    "Are you studying?" Wang Qian asked Gu Xia.


    "Yes, Ill begin my freshman year soon." Gu Xia replied in surprise.


    "Which university did you get into? Was your university entrance examination difficult this time around? I''m only a sophomore in high school, and I will take the university entrance exam in the future, so I''m a little nervous." Wang Qian''s eyes lit up when she heard his words, and she continued with her questions.


    "HmmIt was definitely difficult, but it would be best not to be too nervous. Just treat it with a normal mentality. If you are too nervous and that leads to a bad performance, it will not be worth all the hard work." Gu Xia thought for a while and said.


    "Sicheng, pour drink for Wang Qian''s cup! Why are you sitting like a statue when you''re the one inviting someone to dinner?" Gu Xia saw that Wang Qian was still keen on asking questions, and hurriedly poked Li Sicheng beside him.


    Hearing his urging, Li Sicheng immediately stood up and poured a drink for Wang Qian, then smiled, "Here"


    "Thank you~"


    Gu Xia felt quite ufortable after ate supper, and Wang Qian kept asking him this and that. It was as if he was the one who had asked her out, and Li Sicheng, the dead wood, just stayed quiet.


    It continued like that until 9 o''clock in the evening, when Wang Qian stood up and said, "I''m going home, or my mother will scold me."


    "By the way, Gu Xia, let''s add each other on QQ! This way I can ask you any questions about my studies." Wang Qian looked at Gu Xia with a smile and suggested.


    Gu Xia looked at Wang Qian''s twinkling eyes which stared straight at him, and smiled bitterly in his heart, <em>Now this is quite the pickle! Sigh</em>


    Gu Xia looked at Li Sicheng who was still busy eating at the table and couldn''t help but feel helpless, <em>This guy</em>


    Gu Xia could only give his id QQ to Wang Qian, and then said to Li Sicheng, "Sicheng, go and send Wang Qian home."


    "Ah!"


    Gu Xia watched the two walk away and couldn''t help but sigh in his heart, <em>That Li Sicheng, will he be able to catch up with Wang Qian!</em>


    In his previous life, Li Sicheng pursued Wang Qian for seven or eight years, but he could not catch up with Wang Qian. Later, when Wang Qian married the blind date arranged by her family, Li Sicheng finally stopped thinking about her.


    Gu Xia really hoped that it would not be like his previous life again in this life!


    After a few minutes, Li Sicheng came back, and Gu Xia said, "Didn''t I tell you to send her home? Why did youe back so quickly? You didn''te back after you put her in the cab, right?"


    "Hmm." Li Sicheng responded, and then suddenly picked up the beer bottle and took a sip.


    "Do girls dislike boys like me who aren''t studying?" Li Sicheng looked at Gu Xia and asked.


    "Why do you think so? Then, are you implying that people with less education are all bachelors?" Gu Xia immediately retorted.


    "Then why does Wang Qian keep talking to you alone? And when she heard that you were admitted to university, her eyes lit up, and I"


    Li Sicheng went into a daze, and then took another sip of beer.


    "Sicheng, don''t be like that. This is the first time you and Wang Qian met. It''s normal for her to act unfamiliar with you. And for the reason she talked to me, maybe she''s looking forward to being admitted to a university!" Gu Xia could only say this.


    "Did you know? I liked Wang Qian the first time I saw her. I didn''t believe in love at first sight before, but now I believe it, but she doesn''t seem to have any feelings for me!" Li Sicheng said angrily.


    "Someone will not necessarily fall for you on the first day. You have to take the initiative. You have to ask her out to go shopping, eat something, and asionally buy something for her. Remember what she likes to eat, wear, and visit. Otherwise, will you just wait for the girl to take the initiative to say that she likes you? Is that even possible?" Gu Xia advised him from some experience that he had in his previous life.


    "Right, I must catch up with Wang Qian!" Li Sicheng said firmly.


    "I wish for your sess,e here, lets toast." Gu Xia said while raising the bottle.


    The two didn''t finish drinking until 11:00. They drank two cases of beer. Li Sicheng drank a lot and almost passed out. Because Li Sicheng lived in a store, Gu Xia sent him back to the store before returning home. It was already past 12 o''clock by then.


    Gu Xiay down on the bed, his head a little dizzy, and he quickly fell asleep.

 Chapter 12: Jiangbei University

    Chapter 12: Jiangbei University


    Early the next morning, Gu Xia got up. Today was the day of the new student orientation of the university. Although there would be no sses today, Gu Xia decided to go early because he was looking forward to it. He regretted not going to the university in his previous life, and now he could make up for it.


    Gu Xia brought some things for the student orientation, and his mother packed his clothes and other items for him. Although the university was not very far from his home, it was still three or four hours'' journey back and forth. It was not very convenient for him toe home every day, so Gu Xia chose to live on campus, ande home when it was vacation.


    "Xia Xia, you have to take care of yourself at the university, you hear? While its important to study hard, you must eat and sleep well, and don''t lose weight." Deng Ling urged her son.


    "Mom, don''t worry! I''m not a child, I know how to take care of myself, and the university is not far from home, so I cane back often." Gu Xia listened to her mother''s advice and felt warm in his heart. All mothers love their children.


    "Well, you should wait for the bicycle for two days, I will ask your father to borrow the hotel''s van to send it to you, so that you can ride out to y if you have nothing to do." Deng Ling continued.


    "Well, okay, Mom." Gu Xia replied with a smile.


    Gu Qin on the side suddenly said, "Gu Xia, you are not allowed to fall in love at the university. I heard that many people let themselves go as soon as they go to the university, and often skip sses to date and fall in love. Even if you do, let me and our parents know. We will check her out for you, you got that?"


    "Hehe~"


    Gu Feng and Deng Ling bothughed when they heard those words.


    Gu Xia nced at her, pinched her face, and said, "Youre still a little girl and you want to advise your brother? You better take care of yourself, study hard, and get into a good university next year, you got that?"


    "Oh~ I hate you, don''t pinch my face." Gu Qin said dissatisfied.


    Gu Xia ignored Gu Qin''s dissatisfaction, opened the door, and said, "Mom and Dad, I''m leaving."


    "Go. Tell me if youck something at the university, and I''ll send it to you, dont you forget it! If there''s not enough money just call me." Gu Feng said.


    "I know Dad, I''m leaving, and I''ll be back soon." Gu Xia waved his hands and walked down with his suitcase.


    When he walked downstairs, Gu Xia was stunned, because he found that there was a pretty and lovely person standing in front of him.


    Li Jingjing was standing there wearing a white dress in the sun. She seemed like Snow White from that fairy tale.


    "Brother Xia, this is for you." Li Jingjing stuffed something in Gu Xia''s hand, and then hurried upstairs.


    Gu Xia looked at the running figure of the girl, and there was still the fragrance of the girl in the air. Gu Xia looked at the transparent jar in his hand, which contained many folded paper cranes. The paper cranes were all folded with paper of various colors.


    Gu Xia smiled, put the jar into the backpack on his back, and then looked back at the window of the stairwell, and saw Li Jingjing standing there, Gu Xia smiled and waved, and then walked ahead without looking back.


    "Beep beep"


    Gu Xia turned on the phone and clicked on the message.


    "Brother Xia, remember to miss me!"


    <em>Haha~ This girl. </em>Gu Xia didn''t think Li Jingjing loved him, how could she know what love was at her age? It''s just that she grew up with him, she has a good impression of him, and she just regarded him as a brother-like figure. She would understand the difference when she met someone she truly liked.


    Thinking about the matter with the person she liked, Gu Xia felt sad. At that time, he was afraid that the same tragedy as his previous life would happen again, but in this life, he wanted to save Li Jingjing. As for how he would save her, wasnt it still too early to worry? Gu Xia also had no thoughts.


    Gu Xia stopped a cab and took out the ss jar once he was inside. He left for the factory without telling anyone in his previous life, and he never received this ss jar.


    Gu Xia opened the stopper and ced a few paper cranes in his hands. The paper cranes were very delicately folded. It obviously took a lot of thought to fold them, that girl probably spent a lot of time folding these paper cranes.


    Gu Xia put back the paper crane, put down the jar, closed his eyes and rested.


    *****


    More than an hourter.


    At the gate of Jiangbei University, after Gu Xia paid for the cab, he dragged his suitcase and stood at the gate of Jiangbei University. The door was full of freshmen who came to report, many of them were brought by their parents by car, and there were many vendors selling snack, popsicles at the gate. .


    Jiangbei University, as two local books and one for foreigners, had a history of more than 100 years. The gate was made of white marble with two red words "Jiangbei University" written on it. There were also two guards standing at the gate.


    <em>This is where I will study and live for the next four years!</em>


    Gu Xia dragged the suitcase to the gate, showed the admission notice, and the guard let him enter the campus.


    As soon as he entered the campus, he saw that there were many tables beside the road. The tables were full of people, and there was a banner behind each table.


    "The Department of Computer Science warmly wees the freshmen of the department"


    "The Department of Foreign Languages warmly wees the freshmen of the Department"


    "The Department of History warmly wees the freshmen of the Department"


    They were all banners weing new students from each department, and the number of people at the desks of each department were different. Popr majors such as Computer Science and Economics and Management were crowded. The History and the Foreign Languages departments were also very popr.


    In the Department of Chinese Language, the majority of the students were female, and the group of girls were talking andughing, which attracted the boys to turn their heads and look over.


    Gu Xia had applied for the Department of Economics and Management. Originally, Gu Feng wanted Gu Xia to apply for the most popr Computer Science Department, but Gu Xia did not want to study there, because at the Computer Science Department he would have to face theputer every day, which seemed boring.


    Gu Xia went straight to the registration office of the Department of Economics and Management. Before he could even get close, a senior said, "Brother, are you from the Department of Economics and Management?"


    Gu Xia nodded and replied, "Yes."


    "That''s right, Hu Feng, there is another one here, you can bring him over to sign up." The senior turned his head and shouted back.


    "Let''s go, junior, follow him to sign up." The senior said to Gu Xia.


    "Okay, thank you, senior." Gu Xia walked aside after saying that. There were more than a dozen people gathered there, all of them from the Department of Economics and Management.


    "Let''s go, I''ll take you to the freshman reception desk of the department to sign up." Senior Hu Feng said.


    After walking for about ten minutes, he arrived at the reception desk for new students. Hu Feng said he would be waiting at the door.


    There were two teachers sitting inside, and the line was full of students who wanted to sign up. Gu Xia also stood in line.


    It had to be said that the teacher at the reception was very efficient, and it was Gu Xia''s turn soon.


    "Please show your ID card, admission notice, and admission card." said one of the teachers.


    Gu Xia opened the backpack, took out the papers one by one and put it on the table. Then the teacher carefully read it one by one, and then he entered the information on theputer.


    "Okay, this is your registration card. Your dormitory number is room 333. Take your things and go to the dormitory first." The teacher handed Gu Xia a piece of paper.


    "Okay, thank you teacher." Gu Xia thanked him and went out. Senior Hu Feng was waiting at the door, and there were two other seniors waiting with him.


    "Okay, let''s go, I''ll take you to the dormitory building." Senior Hu Feng smiled.


    Then there were things like paying for the admission procedures in the dormitory. By the time he was done, it was already noon. Gu Xia decided to have lunch first, and then go to the dormitory to sort things out.

 Chapter 13: Roommates

    Chapter 13: Roommates


    After Gu Xia finished his lunch, he dragged his suitcase and walked to the boys'' dormitory. His dormitory number was 333, which was on the third floor of the boys'' dormitory. Gu Xia walked to the door of the 333 dormitory, opened the door and walked in, only to see a young man inside.


    The youngster was making his bed, after seeing Gu Xia walk in, he smiled and said, "Hello, Im Wang Qun from the Foreign Language Department. Wang of King'', and Qun of Leader (Shepherd). Ie from Sichuan province."


    "Hello, Im Gu Xia from the Department of Economics and Management. Gu of Ancient'', and Xia of Summer. Im a local." Gu Xia also nodded in response.


    The young man in front of him had a darkplexion and was thin. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed eyes, a floral shirt and floral breeches, and two flip-flops on his feet, looking quiteid back.


    "There are still two people who haven''t arrived yet, so find a bed for yourself first!" Wang Qun said.


    "Hmm."


    Gu Xia put things on top of the other bottom bunk, spread the mat, and hung up the clothes.


    Bang!"


    "I''m exhausted!"


    The door was pushed open, and a tall and strong young man walked in with two backpacks and two suitcases.


    As soon as he walked in, he said, "Is there someone here already? Hello, I am Liu Shu. Liu of Willow Tree, and Shu of Arithmetic. I am from the Department of Economics and Management."


    Gu Xia and Wang Qun introduced themselves to each other again.


    "Huh Jiangbei is too hot, I can''t stand the heat!" Liu Shuined.


    "Hehe, you are from the north, and you must not be used to the weather here. Jiangbei City is famous for its hot weather in the country. It''s quite okay now, but when autumnes, it will be even hotter." Gu Xia smiled.


    "That''s terrible!" Liu Shu sighed.


    "Do you smoke?" Liu Shu took out a packet of Liqun and handed it to Gu Xia and Wang Qun. (Goblin: Remember Liqun is a Chinese cigarette brand.)


    Both of them shook their heads, indicating that they dont smoke.


    Although Gu Xia smoked in his previous life, he was not addicted to smoking. He only smoked because he had to apany his clients. Now that there was no need for that, Gu Xia would naturally not smoke.


    The three of them talked for a while, and the fourth roommate also arrived. He was a handsome young man. He came in and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Li Wen, I''m from the Department of Computer Science, and I''m from Beijing."


    "You came here from Beijing to study at this university? There are many good universities in Beijing, right? Plus if you are a local, the score line would have been lower." Wang Qun pushed his golden eyes and said.


    "I had no choice, my girlfriend came to this university, so I had toe." Li Wen shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly.


    "Fu*k!"


    "Fu*k!"


    Wang Qun and Li Wen cursed out loud.


    Even Gu Xia looked at Li Wen with admiration. He didn''t expect this guy toe here to study from a bustling metropolis like Beijing just for his girlfriend. What if they broke up someday? And he could also convince his parents, which was amazing as well.


    "You are throwing around dog food as soon as youe in, is this really okay? You are making us, who have been single for almost 20 years, feel bad for not being in any rtionship. We are still considering whether to fall in love in the university. And here you are happilying to the university with your girlfriend. s~ even dead people are more popr than us!" Wang Qun said in an exaggerated manner.


    "Hmm~" Liu Shu nodded in agreement.


    "By the way, do you know what day the military training will take ce?" Gu Xia changed the subject, fearing that they would keep arguing like this for the rest of the day.


    "The day after tomorrow! Don''t you know? It was on the notice board at the gate of Jiangbei University." Li Wen asked strangely.


    "I really didn''t pay attention to this, I was in a hurry to reach the department office." Gu Xia touched his nose and said.


    "I didn''t notice either. I was busy looking at beautiful women at the time. Did you see them? My god, there are so many beautiful women in the Foreign Language Department! And the quality is quite high. It seems thating to Jiangbei University was not a mistake." Wang Qun, that wretched fellow said with a smile.


    "Haha~ I also heard that there are many beauties at Jiangbei University." Liu Shu alsoughed.


    "I just don''t know how long the military training is? I hope it won''t be too long. It''s too hot today, and we will turn into ck charcoal if we stay under the sun for a long time." Wang Qunined.


    "Jiangbei military trainingsts for a month. I already asked the seniors, the military training will be over by the National Day holiday." said Li Wen, who was making the bed.


    "Is the military training time fixed? Is there any difference?" Gu Xia asked suspiciously.


    He really didn''t know, no one ever told him as he never went to university in his previous life.


    "Well some take ten days, some are twenty days, most take a month, so the time of military training is different, some are before the start of the university, and some are after the university." Li Wen seemed to know a lot about the university, and said without hesitation.


    "Oh, so thats it." Gu Xia was suddenly enlightened.


    "Haha~ These things can be found online." Li Wenughed.


    "Why don''t we rank ourselves from the eldest to the youngest ording to age like on TV?" Wang Qun suggested.


    "It goes without saying that I must be the eldest. I was born in January 1989." Liu Shu said excitedly.


    "Uh.. I cantpare." Gu Xia waved his hand and said. <em>I am only 90 years old this year, and I still have many years to go. How can Ipare? I really can''tpare!</em>


    Li Wen and Wang Qun also nodded in recognition of Liu Shu''s position as the boss.


    "Who is the second bro?" Wang Qun looked at Gu Xia and then at Li Wen.


    "I was born in March of 1990, you two should be older than me, right?" Wang Qun asked anxiously, he didn''t want to be the second bro.


    Gu Xia shook his head to indicate that he was not as old as him, and then looked at Li Wen.


    Wang Qun also looked at Li Wen, only to see Li Wen being expressionless and not speaking, as if he was the second bro.


    "Wow haha~ I''m not the second bro, hehe~" Wang Qun jumped up excitedly, smiling from ear to ear.


    "Although I don''t want to admit it, I still have to tell you that you are the second child. I should be the youngest. I was born on the first day of the first lunar month in 1991, so Ill have to disappoint you, dear second bro." Li Wen suddenlyughed.


    Gu Xia was stunned for a while, he didn''t expect that Li Wen, who looked so gentle, was so ck hearted! As he remained silent just now, everyone thought that the second bro was him, who would have known that there would be such a big reversal.


    It was really excellent acting!


    "Hahaha~" Liu Shu pped his thigh, andughed wildly.


    "Okay, Li Wen, you tricked me." Wang Qun pointed at Li Wen and said with a sad face.


    "Forget it, if I am the second bro, then so be it! I wont be angry, but the fourth bro, you have to make up for my mental loss, and you have to invite the three of us to have a good meal at night." Wang Qun just had a sad look on his face, but now he demanded that Li Wen would have to treat them with a smile.


    They were all talents!


    "How can I let the fourth bro treat guests? Even if we want to, Ill be the one doing it. I am the boss." Liu Shu was the first to object.


    Gu Xia heard his words and said, "Don''t treat us as guests, everyone''s the same, everyone is a student."


    "I treat you, isn''t it just a meal?" Li Wen smiled.


    "That''s right, you are very rich, the trolley case is from Herms, the clothes you wear are Versace, and there is Adidas on your feet. This outfit alone is worth tens of thousands of dors. If you don''t make him pay, then who will pay?" Wang Qun said the price of the things Li Wen had on his body.


    Gu Xia was shocked when he heard his words. He only knew about Adidas, and he had never seen the others. This guy was indeed a native of Beijing! So rich!


    "Okay! Fourth bro, you have money and you are a good guy. I agree to let you treat us this time, and it will be my turn next time." Liu Shu looked at Li Wen and said.


    "It''s nothing difficult, it''s the work of fate that we met, and it''s just that my parents made some money." Li Wen said indifferently.


    "Okay, let''s go to dinner at seven o''clock in the evening. Now its only three o''clock, why not go y some games?" Wang Qun suggested.


    "Yes!"


    "Good!"


    Li Wen and Liu Shu both agreed, Gu Xia didn''t want to go, but everyone was going, so it would look bad if he didn''t go, so he agreed.


    The four of them happily walked towards the university gate.

 Chapter 14: The collision of fates

    Chapter 14: The collision of fates


    At the Battle Inte Cafe at the entrance of Jiangbei University, Gu Xia and the others were sitting in a private room.


    "What game do you guys y?" Gu Xia asked.


    "Would you like to y Dungeon and Warriors? My level 50 Berserker will carry you to farm your levels." Wang Qun said proudly.


    "Such a high level? I''m only level 32." Liu Shu eximed.


    "Okay, then well let the second bro lead us to absolute glory." Li Wen smiled.


    With that in mind the four people logged into the game. When Gu Xia logged in to the game, and saw his game character, Asura, who was level 54. The character was called Gu Xia Xia.


    Gu Xia was stunned. Was his character level 54? He really didn''t remember.


    <em>NownowWhich 50th-level guy just said that he wanted to carry us?</em>


    <em>Come out, and look if you can say that again!</em> Gu Xia secretly thought.


    "Come on,e to the game and assemble a team first, and I will carry you to level up." Wang Qun said with a smile.


    Soon Wang Qun, Liu Shu, and Li Wen joined the team. Gu Xia was nowhere to be seen, but there was a level 54 Asura who kept applying to join the team, but Wang Qun refused every time.


    Wang Qun raised his head and shouted to Gu Xia, "Gu Xia, why haven''t youe yet? It cant be that not only you''re a level 1 but you also don''t even know how to y, right? Damn it, this Asura is really annoying and keeps asking to join the team."


    "Can I say that I am that Asura?" Gu Xia said with a wry smile.


    "Fu*k! Is this 54th-level Asura your character? You''re too good at pretending, I thought you were only level 1?" Wang Qun looked at Gu Xia resentfully with a sour expression on his face.


    "I don''t remember either, I haven''t yed for a long time." Gu Xia exined.


    "It seems that the real fat thigh here is Gu Xia!"


    The four of them teamed up to level up until they were tired and could y no longer. By the time they walked out of the Inte cafe, it was 6:50 in the evening.


    "Gu Xia, you are a local, rmend us some delicious restaurants nearby." Li Wen asked.


    "My family doesn''t live near here, how would I know where to eat! There''s a row of restaurants over there. Let''s go and see which one is more popr. Then choose the most popr one, how about it?" Gu Xia touched his nose and suggested.


    The other three were even more unfamiliar than him, and they all nodded in agreement with Gu Xia''s opinion.


    The group of four finally chose a restaurant with a rtively hot business for dinner.


    "Four students, sit here, the menu is on the table, what do you want to eat?" the waiter asked.


    "What signature dishes do you have?" Li Wen asked.


    "Our signature dishes include braised small turtle, spicy crayfish, rice noodles, and braised beef feet." The waiter said with a smile.


    "Bring all the four dishes you just mentioned, and then you can bring two more vegetable dishes." Li Wen said without caring for money.


    "Okay, please wait a minute." The waiter went to ce the order after memorizing the dishes.


    "Haha~ The fourth bro is really generous." Wang Qunughed.


    "If I am treating you to a meal, then Ill do it grandly. You said that I was covered in gold, so if I get stingy here, wouldn''t I lose my face?" Li Wen said indifferently.


    "Haha, that makes sense!" Liu Shu said and gave him a thumbs up.


    Gu Xia found that his three roommates were quite fun and friendly. He felt very fortunate to have these three roommates with him for the next four years.


    Soon the dishes were served one by one. This was how restaurants were. They gave priority to serve the dishes for those with high consumption. Gu Xia''s table ordered food worth only 700 or 800 yuan, and it equaled the food consumed by several other tables. Most of the people who eat here were students, and the consumption level of students was not very high.


    "Waiter, bring us a case of beer." Wang Qun shouted at the bar.


    "Hello, what kind of beer do you need? There are Jiangbei Beer, Xuejin and Budweiser, which one do you drink?" The waiter soon came up and asked.


    "Of course it''s Budweiser, do you still need to ask? " Wang Qun looked at Li Wen with a smile and answered.


    "OK, please wait."


    *****


    The four of them drank three cases of beer before they finished. Wang Qun and Liu Shu both drank too much. There was no way they could walk back, so Gu Xia and Li Wen could only support one each back to the dormitory.


    "Hey~ I''m exhausted, this second bro is quite heavy, even though he looks thin." Li Wen put Wang Qun on the bed and said with a sigh.


    "Hehe~ Hes heavy? What about the big bro I''m supporting?" Gu Xia smiled bitterly as he looked at the big bro Liu Shu, who was quite tall.


    "This Budweiser is a bit too strong, I have to take a bath before going to bed." Li Wen shook his head and frowned.


    Gu Xia looked at his watch. It was almost nine o''clock. He remembered that he didn''t buy anything like toothbrushes and towels, so he said, "Go to sleep, I''ll go shopping outside and buy some daily necessities."


    "Okay~ Remember to close the door."


    *****


    Gu Xia asked the guard at the gate of the university and learned that therge supermarket was only two kilometers away. The gate of the university was full of small shops, but they didnt have what he wanted. Feeling helpless, Gu Xia could only walk there.


    At present, there were no Mobike or small yellow bikes. If there were, it would be much more convenient to ride a bicycle.


    Gu Xia asked another person on the road before walking to the door of the supermarket. There was a steady stream of peopleing in and out of the supermarket. Gu Xia bought some daily necessities in the supermarket. When he came out, the supermarket was almost close to closing down.


    "Di Di~"


    Gu Xia opened his QQ, and the notification kept ringing.


    His sister Gu Qin sent several messages:


    "Brother, is university fun?"


    "Smelly Gu Xia, why don''t you reply to my messages, hum~"


    "Gu Xia???"


    Gu Xia carried the baggage in one hand, and typed back: "I just left home today, you miss me already?"


    The next message was from Fatty: "Ask yourself if you have gone to school to report."


    And the ss leader Li Xia sent a message asking which department he was in.


    Gu Xia replied to the messages one by one.


    Since Gu Xia kept his head down and replied to the message, when he got out of the elevator in the supermarket, he didn''t notice that someone was tying their shoces in front of him, and shed with the person''s butt.


    "Ah~"


    A coquettish cry sounded, and a girl in a white T-shirt and jeans was knocked to the ground by Gu Xia.


    Gu Xia''s face changed, and he immediately said, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, are you hurt?"


    After saying that, Gu Xia put down the things in his hand, and saw the girl sitting on the ground, her long hair covering her face, her hand covering her right foot, it was probably twisted by his bump.


    <em>Other things don''t matter now, her feet are more important, I''ll help her up first! Then go to the hospital to have it checked. </em>Gu Xia grabbed the girl''s hand and helped her up.


    "Hey~ it hurts, how can I walk, didn''t you see me tying my shoces? And you bumped into me first, did you do it on purpose? Are you a pervert?"


    The girl was helped up, and without looking at Gu Xia, she cursed him for a while.


    Her voice seemed very familiar to Gu Xia. He didn''t look at her properly before, but now that he looked at this figure carefully, it was really too familiar.


    And the girl turned her head to look at him after cursing. She was just trying to tie her shoces, but some idiot bumped onto her butt, and she even hurt her leg. All this made her very angry. Thinking that a ce that should not be touched was hit by a man, she felt so angry that she almost died from anger, but when she turned her head, she was stunned.


    Under the dim street lights, a boy was supporting a girl, and the two gazed at each other like that for a long time, which attracted pedestrians who were passing by, some even pointed at them.

 Chapter 15: Long time no see

    Chapter 15: Long time no see


    "Hey~ Hubby, you see how romantic those two are. I want to do that too!" A girl looked at the boy and girl who looked at each other under the streemp, and said coquettishly to the boy beside her.


    "I don''t want to do that, it''s shameful." The boy said disdainfully.


    "You don''t really dont love me at all, lets break up!" The girl said angrily.


    "Are those two stupid? What are they looking at for so long without blinking?"


    "Are they filming a TV series? But I don''t see the camera!"


    ****


    Click!


    "I was having trouble finding a background picture for my QQ profile, this will be perfect, hehe~" A boy took a few pictures of the two with his mobile phone.


    Many people were talking about Gu Xia and the girl.


    Gu Xia had already guessed who the person in front of him was just now, but when he saw that face, especially when he saw the eyes that were exactly the same as his previous life, Gu Xia felt a "boom" in his mind, losing his ability to think. He had an intense urge in his heart to take her into his arms.


    Tu Sisi has been very upset all this time, especially after seeing Gu Xia secretly that night, she became even more upset. Now, she didn''t know what to do. How should she face Gu Xia?


    Tonight, she was here with her ssmates to have some fun in Jiangbei. She wanted to rx. Her shoces became loose and she wanted to tie her shoce. Unexpectedly, she was knocked to the ground and her feet were twisted. And the most disgusting thing was that the person bumped her buttocks. At first, she thought this guy was not a good person, and he was definitely a pervert.


    Tu Sisi wanted to curse more, but after seeing this person''s face, she became stunned as if her acupuncture point had been sealed.


    Because he was Gu Xia!


    The man she loved the most, the man who slept beside her in the same bed for countless nights, the man who said he wanted to be good to her for the rest of his life!


    Was this fate?


    *****


    "Long time no see"


    Tu Sisi was the first to speak and break this embarrassing situation.


    "Long time no see, you are you okay?" Gu Xia felt his voice tremble, he didn''t know the reason why.


    "I''m fine. I eat well and sleep well every day. I don''t have to worry about money, rice, oil, salt, and cooking every day. Of course I''m fine." Tu Sisi bit her lip and said with a smile.


    Gu Xia swallowed his saliva, his eyes became a little wet without him knowing it, <em>Yes, she doesn''t need to suffer with him anymore, so of course she will be fine</em>


    Gu Xia took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Oh that''s good, congrattions on living the life you''ve been looking forward to, and you don''t have to cook, wash, and take care of children every day."


    "Of course, you don''t know how rxed I am now. I don''t have to be exhausted with my children every day, and I dont have to deal with you at night." Tu Sisi said with aplicated face and forced a smile.


    "Yeah, I''m fine now, I don''t have to pretend to be fine every day, and I don''t have to get drunk all the time." Gu Xia raised his head. He was afraid that his tears would fall any moment.


    "Are your feet okay? Shall I take you to the hospital?" Gu Xia asked, looking at her feet.


    "It''s okay, my ssmate went to the toilet and will be here soon. If you have something to do, go first!" Tu Sisi turned her head and said her piece.


    "Then I''ll go first." After Gu Xia thought of something, he hurried to the university.


    Those who were watching the fun became confused,<em> What the hell.. what happened to these two people? They looked like lovers, but what with this sudden turn of events?</em>


    *****


    Gu Xia ran fast, with tears in the corners of his eyes. He ran to the artificialke in the university before stopping. He put his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, and his whole body trembled a little.


    "Aaaaaarrgh!!!!"


    Gu Xia suddenly raised his head and let out a loud cry.


    He just wanted to hug Tu Sisi so much!


    But can it really be so? It was not easy for her to live the life she liked, did he want her to experience the same suffering as their previous life?


    In the woods not far away, there was cursing and the sound of dressing up.


    After Gu Xia shouted, as if he had exhausted all the energy in his body, he fell directly on the grass behind him.


    His pair of red eyes looked at the dark night sky, the tears in the corners of his eyes had dried up.


    *****


    After Gu Xia left, Tu Sisi sat on the ground and hugged her legs, her face buried in her knees. From her trembling body, one could see that she was crying silently.


    "Sisi! What''s wrong with you? Who bullied you? Why are you crying?"


    A girl with a baby face hurried over. She was Ouyang Dan, Tu Sisi''s ssmate.


    Seeing that Tu Sisi was silent, Ouyang Dan couldn''t help but hurriedly say, "Sisi, why arent you talking! What''s the matter?"


    Tu Sisi looked up, her face was full of tears, her eyes were red, her whole body was like an eggnt beaten by the cold, and she lost her energy.


    "Dandan, aaaa ah ah ah!!!"


    Tu Sisi hugged Ouyang Dan fiercely and burst into tears.


    Tu Sisi was very sad, <em>Why?</em>


    <em>Why do I miss him so much, but I can''t say it outloud?</em>


    <em>Why doesn''t he understand how I feel?</em>


    Why? (Goblin: Because he''s dense, that''s why! And youre quite the tsundere yourself!)


    Is their bond as husband and wife from their previous lifepletely broken?


    Tu Sisi cried heartbreakingly, and she hated Gu Xia''s ruthlessness.


    Ouyang Dan couldn''t take her to the hospital until Tu Sisi finished crying and her eyes were swollen.


    *****


    It was just like that saying,


    "I don''t ask, you don''t tell, this is distance;


    I ask, you don''t tell, this is estrangement;


    I ask, you tell, this is trust;


    If you don''t tell, I dont ask you, this is tacit understanding;


    Even if I dont ask, you tell me, this is dependence.


    *****


    At two o''clock in the morning, Gu Xia returned to the dormitory, his face did not look very good, there were many traces of mosquito bites on his body, and his eyes were a little red and swollen. He picked up his clothes and went to the bathroom.


    "Whoo"


    The icy water poured from the top of his head to his feet, Gu Xia''s face was facing the sprinkler, and the water kept shooting on his face.


    <em>What are you still looking forward to?</em>


    <em>Are you looking forward to reconciling with her?</em>


    <em>There is no going back, nothing can go back to how it was.</em>


    She no longer had to suffer with him, and she no longer had to be angry with him every day.


    <em>You should bless her!</em>


    But why does it hurt so much?


    Was he unwilling to let her go?


    Gu Xia didn''t know.


    That night, the two of them were destined to be sleepless.

 Chapter 16: A twist?

    Chapter 16: A twist?


    The next day, Gu Xia slept until 3 o''clock in the afternoon and didn''t get up. He didn''t fall asleep until 5 o''clock in the morning.


    After Gu Xia got up, he was the only one in the dormitory, and the other three probably went out to y.


    After Gu Xia got out of bed, he stood in front of the mirror on the washstand and looked at his somewhat haggard self in the mirror.


    "Dam*n, I really cant take this! She actually despised me, dam*n it! No, I want to make it clear to her, otherwise this fire in my heart won''t go away." Gu Xia said to himself.


    Gu Xia washed up quickly, then went out and took a taxi to Tu Sisi''s house.


    At the entrance of Lakeside Community, Gu Xia paid the taxi driver, got off and walked towards the location of Tu Sisi''s house.


    "Knock knock!"


    Gu Xia knocked on the door of Tu Sisi''s house. Seeing that no one opened the door for a long time, he realized that they were probably not at home.


    So he sat on the stairs of the safety passage next to the elevator and waited until seven o''clock in the evening, but no one came back.


    Gu Xia frowned and looked at the room number 2101. The address was the right one, but it was getting sote, what happened to them?


    So he decided to forget it and go eat something first, as Gu Xia hadn''t eaten anything the whole day.


    After eating and buying a pack of cigarettes, Gu Xia continued to sit at the entrance of the stairs and wait.


    At nine o''clock at night, no one came back. During this period, Gu Xia even knocked on the door twice, fearing that someone hade back while he was eating.


    "It''s sote, why havent theye back yet?"


    Gu Xia threw away the half burnt cigarette in his hand, got up and took the elevator to go down. He had been waiting for so long, and it was sote, he determined that they would note back today.


    However, when Gu Xia first entered the elevator, the doors of another elevator opened, and Tu Sisi was helped out by her parents and sister. Her feet were wrapped in bandages, and she jumped out on one foot from the elevator door.


    "Its okay, Dad, Mom, I''m fine, I just sprained my foot. You guys are being too serious, you didnt have to waste your day off for me!" Tu Sisi said tenderly.


    "You are too careless. Fortunately, you didn''t hurt your bones, otherwise you would suffer too much." said Tu Sisi''s mother, Tang Chunhua.


    "Okay, we''re home. Sisi, you have to take a good rest at home these two days, I''ll ask for a leave from school for you." Her dad, Tu Jianguo said softly.


    "Don''t worry, Dad, Mom, I will take care of myself." Tu Sisi said with a smile.


    "Mom, isn''t there also me? I''m on vacation these two days, so Ill be at home, don''t worry!" Tu Fangfang also said.


    Tang Chunhua wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.


    "Knock Knock!"


    Tu Jianguo walked ahead to open the door, and saw a young man standing at the door. Tu Jianguo frowned and said, "Who are you looking for?


    It was Gu Xia who was at the door. He just walked to the door, and after thinking about it, he asked the security guards of themunity. He learned that the Tu Sisi family had just returned, so he returned immediately, and he kept giving himself courage along the way. He was almost worn out.


    "Thatdad, is Sisi at home?" Gu Xia said the wrong thing due to his nervousness.


    "What did you just call me?" Tu Jianguo said sharply, his face darkened.


    "Ah! Nouncle, is Sisi at home? I have something to tell her." Gu Xia shook his head, sobered up and hurriedly changed his words.


    "Jianguo, who is it?" Tang Chunhua heard their voices and came over and asked.


    Tu Fangfang helped Tu Sisi and came over as well.


    When Tu Sisi saw Gu Xia, her face was happy at first, and then she secretly thought, <em>Why is this bad guy here?</em>


    "Sisi, you are here? I have something to tell you." Gu Xia said in a deep voice when he saw Tu Sisi.


    "Sisi, who is he?" Tu Jianguo asked with a frown.


    "Yoe to my room and talk." Tu Sisi said to Gu Xia.


    After finishing speaking, she said to her father, "Mom and Dad, I''ll tell you about thister. It''s quiteplicated right now."


    In Tu Sisi''s room, Tu Sisi was sitting on the bed by her sister Tu Fangfang.


    Gu Xia was standing aside.


    "Sister, can you go out first?" Tu Sisi begged her sister.


    Tu Fangfang nced at her sister, then at Gu Xia, and walked out of the room with a sigh.


    "Why are you standing, why don''t you close the door?" Tu Sisi said to Gu Xia who was standing stupidly.


    "Oh!"


    Gu Xia responded, hurriedly closed the door, and locked it.


    Tu Sisi rubbed her head, <em>What a mess!</em>


    This guy ran straight to her house to meet her. So how will she exin this matter to her parents!


    "Don''t you have something to tell me? Say it?" Tu Sisi said with a huff.


    "Are you really not going to get back together with me?" Gu Xia said, looking straight into Tu Sisi''s eyes.


    "Why do I have to get back together with you? Do you want us to continue to be the same as in our previous life?" Tu Sisi said expressionlessly.


    "Butbut we are married and have a son! How can that be just denied?" Gu Xia said with agitation.


    "That''s from our previous life. Are we married now? Do we have a child? Who knows?" Tu Sisi said sarcastically when she saw Gu Xia be so agitated.


    "You!!! Why are you being so heartless?" Gu Xia said angrily, and continued: "I originally nned to have a good talk with you, I thought we would work together and start anew, but I didn''t expect you to think like this!"


    Tu Sisi was stunned when she heard his words, and she felt happy for some unknown reason!


    Although Tu Sisi was a little happy in her heart, she asked, "It''ll not be the same with a new start?"


    "How could it be the same? Based on our previous life experience, we will definitely have a better life." Gu Xia said in an irrefutable tone.


    Tu Sisi didn''t like Gu Xia''s tone of voice. She didn''t like it even when they got married in their previous life. She squinted at him and said, "Heh, who do you think you are?"


    "You..why are you still the same as before and you haven''t changed at all!" Gu Xia spoke with a livid face when he heard her words.


    "Are you not the same as before as well? Your character is still as stinky and hard as a whetstone." Tu Sisi immediately retorted.


    "Tu Sisi!"


    "What!"


    Tu Sisi looked at the furious Gu Xia. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but it disappeared quickly.


    After a while, Gu Xia asked, "What are we going to do?"


    "What should I do?" Tu Sisi asked suspiciously.


    "Huh! We are in this rtionship now! What are your ns?" Gu Xia said with a deep breath. He felt that he always got angry very easily when talking with Tu Sisi, and he feared that hed lose his cool sooner orter.


    "No ns." Tu Sisi saidzily, leaning on the bed.


    "What do you mean by no ns?" Gu Xia couldn''t help roaring in a low voice, looking at her indifferent attitude.


    "It doesn''t make any sense!" Tu Sisi replied, seeing Gu Xia''s face bing more and more ugly, she pouted and continued, "What do you think I should do now? Do I run out and tell my parents that we were reborn and came back from a previous life. That I''ve been married for several years and have children? So what should I do? I''m still a little confused. We have too much dissatisfaction with each other, and there are also many estrangements, do you understand? "


    "So, let''s first recognize our own hearts! Otherwise, even if we get together now, wont we fight every day like in our previous life? And face countless troubles?" After speaking her mind Tu Sisi looked at Gu Xia, whose expression was constantly changing. When she saw him light a cigarette, she asked, "Are you going to the university now?"


    "Hmm." Gu Xia nodded.


    "Then you should continue going to the university! We are too young now, I''m only in the second year of high school, I don''t want to think about so many things now, I just want to live the present well first." Tu Sisi said indifferently.


    "You mean that we''re going our separate ways?"


    Gu Xia stared at Tu Sisi, and asked in a hoarse voice.

 Chapter 17: Then pursue me again!

    Chapter 17: Then pursue me again!


    "Leave all this to our hearts! Touch your heart, perceive what it thinks, and feel it carefully." Tu Sisi said softly, and after she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and put her hands on her chest.


    Although Gu Xia thought it was a bit ridiculous, he involuntarily followed Tu Sisi and also closed his eyes and put his hand on his chest.


    After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xia opened his eyes in confusion. Seeing that Tu Sisi was still in that position, he couldn''t help being a little speechless. Does it take so long? Did she really feel the so-called voice from the heart?


    After a while, Tu Sisi still didn''t open her eyes, Gu Xia became a little impatient, but he still stood there like a fool, but he eventually gave in.


    "Tu Sisi"


    Gu Xia called out softly, seeing that she didn''t respond, he walked to her side, and gently pushed her, but she still didn''t respond, and a slight sound of mild snoring came to his ear. She was obviously asleep.


    Gu Xia was both angry and a little distressed. He was angry that after she had said such a solemn thing, but then she fell asleep, and made him stand there like a fool for such a long time.


    Sadly, she probably hadn''t slept sincest night.


    "Haahh!"


    Gu Xia looked at her bandaged feet, sighed, and pulled the nket over the bed to cover her stomach.


    She had wrinkled her brows, and she looked so weak. Gu Xia reached out, smoothed her brows, and Tu Sisi seemed to have felt it, as there was finally a smile on her face. It seemed that she was having a sweet dream in her sleep.


    Noticing that her mobile phone was on the bed, he used her mobile phone to send a message to himself, so that he could get her phone number, and he could call if anything happened. He did so because he and Tu Sisi both changed their previous numbers after they got married. So he couldn''t remember her previous number.


    When Gu Xia walked to the door and was about to open it, he suddenly remembered, how should he get out?


    This was not like his past life, in the eyes of his father-inw and mother-inw, he was just a stranger!


    Gu Xia wanted to wake Tu Sisi up and let her help him get out, but after seeing that she was fast asleep, he thought about it and decided against it.


    Gu Xia gritted his teeth, hardened his resolve, and said in his heart, <em>Its a good day to die!</em>


    As soon as Gu Xia opened the door, he felt a murderous aura covering his whole body, he couldn''t help shivering, and most of his drunkenness dissipated instantly.


    What he saw was, three people sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at him with murderous gazes, as if he had stolen their family''s ancestral treasure.


    Gu Xia originally nned to run out while they were not paying attention, but now it was definitely impossible to run away, so Gu Xia could only smile bitterly in his heart.


    "Sit!"


    Tu Jianguo pointed to the sofa opposite him and instructed, although he only said one word, but he spoke with an unquestionable tone.


    Tu Jianguo was a soldier when he was young. Although he had been discharged from the army for so many years, he still retained his military style.


    Gu Xia remembered that on the day of his marriage in his previous life, Tu Jianguo said to himself, "Gu Xia, if something is wrong with Sisi, you can tell her or tell me, but if I find out that you hit her or that you have other women outside, I will chop you up and feed the dogs!"


    That event perfectly showcased Tu Jianguo''s temperament.


    Gu Xia sat on the sofa cautiously, the situation was pressing, there was no way out of this. If this was his previous life, he could do whatever he wanted here, but in this situation, he had to be careful!


    Besides, he couldn''t just say, "Dad, I''m your future son-inw! I married your daughter in our previous life. I gave you a grandson, and we hugged each other''s shoulders and drank wine."


    If he said these words, Gu Xia didn''t doubt that he would definitely be beaten up by Tu Jianguo with his military boxing. His nose would be bruised and his face would be swollen, and then he would be kicked out as a lunatic.


    Gu Xia controlled his emotions, and recalled the first time he saw his father-inw and mother-inw in his previous life, and finally had a little courage in his heart.


    "Don''t you have anything to say?" Tu Jianguo frowned when he saw Gu Xia sitting there stupidly without speaking.


    "Ahoh, that uncle, aunt and sister, I have liked Sisi for a long time, and just now I suddenly had an urge to see Sisi, so I rushed to your house recklessly and scared you. I am here to say sorry to you." Gu Xia stood up, bowed, and said sincerely.


    "Oh! Even if you liked Sisi for a long time, you think you cane to my house to act wild? If you don''t give me a proper exnation today, believe it or not, I will send you to the police station." Tu Jianguo sneered.


    Tang Chunhua next to him pocked Tu Jianguo with her hand, then looked at Gu Xia and said, "Son, what''s your name? Are you Sisi''s ssmate?"


    "Auntie, my name is Gu Xia, and I am currently a freshman at Jiangbei University." Gu Xia replied.


    "You''re in a university! Then how did you meet Sisi?" Tang Chunhua''s expression improved when she heard that Gu Xia was studying in university. What she was most afraid of was that the boy in front of her was someone who didn''t study and was an unemployed ruffian.


    "My friend knew Sisi''s ssmate, and I also met Sisi through my friend." Gu Xia thought for a while and replied.


    "Oh, so thats it!" Tang Chunhua nodded and said.


    "Humph!" Tu Jianguo snorted coldly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Tu Sisi''s voice.


    "Dad~ It was me who called Gu Xia here."


    It turned out that Tu Sisi was woken up by the sound outside, so she came out and spoke while leaning against the wall.


    "Sisi, your foot is still injured, didnt I tell you to be careful?" Tang Chunhua hurried over to support her daughter, and said angrily.


    "It''s okay, Mom, it''s much better now." Tu Sisi said with a smile.


    "Sisi, what''s the matter with you and this kid? Can we talk about it now?" Tu Jianguo asked when his daughter sat down.


    On the other side, Tu Fangfang looked at Tu Sisi with a smile but not a smile, she remembered the embarrassment she felt when Sisi said that she was in love at supper that night. This was karma, this was really a work of heaven!


    "Dad, how should I say this it''s not just Gu Xia who is chasing me. I made an appointment yesterday with him to apany me to buy books today. Who knew that my foot was injured and I forgot about it, so Gu Xia ran all the way here." Tu Sisi said bashfully to her father.


    "Sisi! You''ll be in the third year of high school soon, you can''t fall in love at this time, you have to focus on your studies, you do know that right? I''ll turn a blind eye to it when you get into the university, but it''s definitely not possible now." Tu Jianguo reprimanded.


    "I"


    Just as Tu Sisi was about to speak, she was interrupted by Gu Xia, and heard Gu Xia say, "Uncle, don''t worry, I won''t interfere with Sisi''s study, and Sisi didn''t agree to my pursuit yet. She also said that she would wait until she gets into the university. Besides, I drank too much with my roommate in the same dormitory at the beginning of this evening, so I lost my temper and came to meet Sisi."


    "Hmph! It''s almost the same thing." Tu Jianguo said slowly.


    "Gu Xia, didn''t you say that your ssmate just asked you for something?" Seeing that her father''s expression was getting better, Tu Sisi turned her head and winked at Gu Xia.


    "Ah that''s right! Uncle and auntie, just now my ssmates sent a message saying that they have something to do with me, so I''ll have to take my leave first." Gu Xia saw Tu Sisi''s wink, and hurriedly stood up and said.


    "Xiao Gu, won''t you sit down for a while?" Tang Chunhua asked politely.


    "No, no, Auntie, I''ll go first." Gu Xia got up and walked towards the door.


    "Goodbye uncle and auntie, goodbye sister." Gu Xia said his farewell and went out.


    When he got off the elevator, his phone suddenly received a message from Tu Sisi.


    "If you still love me, then pursue me again!"

 Chapter 18: Military Training

    Chapter 18: Military Training


    Gu Xia didnt know whether tough or cry when he saw this message.


    Pursue her? How would he do that?


    Gu Xia felt that Tu Sisi had given him a difficult problem.


    Was there anything more nonsensical than pursuing your wife again?


    Shouldn''t they just make an appointment for a room and have a nice roll on the bed together?


    Gu Xia felt that his head was starting to hurt, and it seemed necessary to read some books like Thirty-Six Strategies for Pursuing Girls.


    ****


    After Gu Xia left, Tu Sisi finally got her parents to calm down after a while of coaxing. Just after returning to the room, before she could catch her breath, her sister came in.


    "He he he~"


    Tu Fangfang''s strangeughter seemed really harsh in Tu Sisi''s ears!


    "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, don''t act so weird, or I''ll tell our parents that you have a boyfriend at work." Tu Sisi threatened with anger and feeling that it was quite funny.


    "Don''t! We haven''t determined our rtionship yet, you can''t be so cruel!" Tu Fangfang immediately begged for mercy.


    "Hmph~" Tu Sisi gave her a nk look and sneered.


    "Sisi, that kid just now is really pursuing you?" Tu Fangfang asked.


    "Of course, your sister is so beautiful, isn''t it normal for someone to pursue her? Do you need to make such a fuss?" Tu Sisi said angrily.


    "But you''re only in high school, and you''re going to take the university entrance examination next year. It''s not a wise choice to fall in love at this time! Our parents will definitely oppose it, they just fooled you for now, because they don''t want to quarrel. And you see, they will definitely keep an eye on you in the days toe." Tu Fangfang''s analysis was quite urate.


    "Just let them watch~" Tu Sisi said nonchntly.


    "You~"


    *****


    In the next room, Tu Sisi''s parents were discussing this matter.


    "Jianguo! In the blink of an eye, our children have grown up, and Sisi even has suitors." Tang Chunhua sighed.


    "Hehe, we are getting old." Tu Jianguo said, hugging his wife.


    "What do you think of him todaythat Gu Xia?" Tang Chunhua asked.


    "That kid is alright, although a little reckless. But who was not reckless when they were young? It''s just that Sisi is going to take the university entrance examination next year. I don''t want her to fall in love at this time. Although some junior high school students have started falling in love now, but It''s the same as ying house. Just take a look at your nephew. At the age of sixteen, he made someone pregnant and was forced to get married. And look at how they are living now. Just two days ago your brother called me to borrow money and said that all his money was used to support his son." Tu Jianguo said earnestly.


    "Well, I talked to Sisi just now, and she also promised that she would not fall in love with that Gu Xia before the university entrance examination." Tang Chunhua said slowly.


    "Well, I hope so!" Tu Jianguo sighed. "Okay, it''s gettingte, wife, let''s go to bed!"


    "What are you doing, you shameless old man."


    *****


    As soon as Gu Xia entered the dormitory, he heard Wang Quns joking voice, "Our third bro is back? I haven''t seen you all day today, did you go to pick up girls?"


    "There is a girl, but even if I want to pick, it''s not so easy!" Gu Xiaughed.


    "I just asked casually, but I didn''t expect that there really is a girl! Haha, how is she? Is she pretty?" Wang Qun said strangely.


    Liu Shu and Li Wen also looked at Gu Xia after hearing this.


    "She''s not from our university, but she''s pretty, but I haven''t got her yet." Gu Xia touched his nose and said.


    "It''s good to have a goal, but I don''t even have a goal yet!" Liu Shu said quietly from the side.


    "Hehe~"


    Gu Xia didn''t argue with them, it was quitete, so he picked up the towel and went to take a bath. After taking a bath, the four of them talked for a while, and then they all went to sleep. After all, there will be military training the next morning.


    Gu Xia was looking forward to tomorrow''s military training.


    Now that there was a chance to experience something new, Gu Xia was naturally very excited.


    Before going to bed, Gu Xia sent Tu Sisi a good night message. After waiting for a while, he didn''t get a reply for the message. She had probably fallen asleep. Gu Xia also put down his phone and closed his eyes to sleep.


    Early in the next morning, Gu Xia got up, woke the three of them up, then quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, put on his camouge uniform, and went to the training ground together.


    The military training was not the same as Gu Xia imagined. It was very boring. They practiced standing posture all day. In addition, the sun was also very merciless. There were some people who directly fainted from heat stroke.


    Back at the dormitory in the evening, everyone went straight to sleep, after all, they were too tired.


    Just like that, a month passed in a blink of an eye.


    Today was thest day of military training, and tomorrow was the National Day holiday. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was discussing where to go on this National Day.


    And during this month, Gu Xia and Tu Sisi had not met each other. After all, Tu Sisi''s third-year curriculum was very tight, and Gu Xia didn''t have time to go to see Tu Sisi after the military training every day. But, they didmunicate a lot via text messages.


    Tu Sisi didn''t like to use QQ that much, and every time he sent text messages, that also made Gu Xia''s phone bill skyrocket.


    The instructor had informed them that each department would coborate to hold a social gathering in the evening on thest day of the military training, which was also a tradition of Jiangbei University.


    This news made all the boys excited, because it meant that there would be many girls!


    Gu Xia looked at the rows of boys around him, all with their hairbed and shiny, with smiles on their faces.


    This was thest day of the military training. In the evening, he saw a circle around the yground and it was full of people. The middle of the training ground was lit brightly with lights. And everyone''s faces were full of smiles.


    Gu Xia, Wang Qun, and Liu Shu sat together, while Li Wen went to the Foreign Language Department to find his girlfriend.


    The chief instructor stood in the middle and shouted, "Students, be quiet and listen to me."


    Seeing that everyone was quiet, the chief instructor said with satisfaction, "I won''t say polite words, and I believe everyone also doesn''t like listening to them. Every year we go to different universities for military training, and I can''t remember just how many freshmen we have managed to inspire to join the military. But, as the saying goes, there is always next year. Its always good to have hope right?"


    The instructor smiled when he saw everyone looking at him curiously and said, "That is, I hope everyone can join our Army after graduating from university. Those who are interested can join. The army needs fresh blood, and it needs highly knowledgeable talents. Of course, I hope that no matter whether you join the army or work, you will contribute to our mothend, and always remember your roots!"


    Thest sentence was almost roared by the instructor.


    "Everyone can consider what I said, and if you don''t want to, just take it as a joke" The chief instructor said.


    "Okay, I am talking too much, I see that many people are impatient. Then I will hand it over to our beautiful instructor and let her take over from here."

    Chapter 19: Are you asking me out?


    "Everyone be quiet, I will be the one hosting the party from now on." A hot female instructor walked to the middle and started talking.


    "Everyone must contribute a performance for the asion, it doesnt matter whether it''s singing or dancing. So who will volunteer toe up first?" The female instructor nced around and smiled.


    "Ille!" A girl raised her hand and said.


    "Very good, what''s your name? What will you be performing for everyone?" The female instructor asked with a smile.


    "Hello everyone, I''m Xia Wei from the Chinese Department. Ill perform a dance for everyone, I hope you like it." The girl said shyly.


    "Good~"


    Everyone apuded, and many boys even whistled.


    Xia Wei danced the ballet with gracefulness. Although she was wearing a camouge uniform, her beautiful face and figure quickly conquered many boys.


    Gu Xia listened to the people beside him talking about Xia Wei. When he heard that they wanted to pursue her, he couldn''t help but smile.


    "Thank you all!"


    After Xia Wei finished dancing, she bowed to everyone, and then returned to her ce.


    "Thank you very much for the dance performed by Xia Wei, so who is next?"


    After that, people continued toe on stage, some people performededy sketches, some danced and sang, it was very lively!


    *****


    "Who else ising? I noticed that in today''s party, it was the girls who came on stage the most. What about boys?" said the female instructor as she looked around.


    Many boys looked eager to try, but they didn''t get up. After all, it took real courage to perform in front of so many people. And, with so many girls watching, if the performance was not good, it would lead to a massive loss of face.


    Anyway, Gu Xia didn''t want to go on stage. He couldn''t do anything except sing. Even if he sings, he had enough of that on KTV for a long time in his previous life, and he also really didn''t want to be in the limelight.


    "Gu Xia, sing a song." Suddenly a sharp female voice was heard.


    Gu Xia was stunned for a moment, he looked towards the voice, and saw Li Xia looking at him with a smile.


    Gu Xia suddenly felt that there were 10,000 divine beasts running around in his heart. When did he ever offend her? What was she calling him for?


    "Gu Xia, sing a song!"


    Li Xia shouted again. This time, she was not alone, but many people followed.


    "Gu Xia, sing a song!"


    "Gu Xia, sing a song!"


    More and more people followed the flow, shouting loudly, their voice resounding throughout the training ground.


    Gu Xia could only smile bitterly when he heard everyone calling out his name.


    "HeyGu Xia, isn''t that you?" Wang Qun asked Gu Xia while pocking him with his elbow.


    Gu Xia squinted at him and didn''t answer.


    "Is that even a question? It must be Gu Xia! Gu Xia, why don''t you go to the stage?" Liu Shu said affirmatively.


    Haahh Gu Xia sighed, stood up slowly, and walked towards the center of the circle.


    When everyone saw that the main protagonist had appeared, they all stopped shouting and looked at the boy named Gu Xia in the middle.


    Gu Xia already had quite a handsome face, but after a month of military training, he tanned a little and looked more masculine. After they saw him, many girls'' eyes lit up.


    "Hello everyone, I''m Gu Xia. And, I am also the Gu Xia everyone was just screaming for!" Gu Xiaughed.


    "Hahaha~"


    Everyone was amused by Gu Xias words, and they allughed.


    "Since my old ssmate Li Xia tried so hard, I naturally have to work hard as well, or I will not be worthy of her hard work!" Gu Xia looked at Li Xia and spoke with a look of resentment.


    Everyone apuded and cheered. When Li Xia saw that everyone was looking at her, her face flushed, and her eyes red at Gu Xia, knowing that he was taking revenge for calling him out just now.


    "I will be singing the song, [Who do you think of when you''re alone]".


    After Gu Xia looked at the instructor on the side, the instructor immediately released the tune of this song.


    The familiar tune of the song slowly started ying. This song was Tu Sisi''s favorite. This song was the ringtone of Tu Sisi''s mobile phone in their previous life. Every time she heard this song, she would also sing it. And, Gu Xia wouldin about this to her every time, [Are you not tired of singing this song, and I am almost tired of listening to it.]


    "Your mood is always rushing


    To chase after everything


    You want to grab a littlefort


    [omitted]


    Who do you think of when youre alone


    Do you want to find someone to apany you?


    To share your happiness and sadness


    Only I can feel


    (Goblin: A song by singer Zhang Dongliang)


    Gu Xia''s hoarse voice resounded all over the training ground. The way he sang was different from how Zhang Dongliang originally sang. Zhang Dongliang sang it a little briskly, with the feelings of missing someone, while Gu Xia sang with the feeling of reminiscence.


    After the song was over, a thunderous apuse sounded, Gu Xia bowed to express his thanks, and returned to his position.


    "Yes! Third bro, you can be a star now." Wang Qun joked.


    "Third bro, did you see that when you sang just now, so many girls looked at you with glowing eyes? If I could sing as well as you, I would be as popr too, and I''d definitely be able to get a girlfriend in no time." Liu Shu looked envious and hateful.


    "Hehe, how can it be so exaggerated." Gu Xia touched his nose and said.


    Soon, the party wasing to an end. After all, it was already eight o''clock, and everyone had not eaten dinner yet.


    At the end of the party, a strange thing happened in Gu Xia. There were several girls who came asking for his QQ and phone number.


    This scene made the other boys quite envious. They all looked at Gu Xia with murderous eyes. If eyes could kill, then Gu Xia would have died tens of thousands of times.


    "How will our [Love Song Prince] thank me!" Li Xia walked over and said, her face flushed, thinking of the words of the girl next to her just now.


    "ss leader, I didn''t even ask you to settle the ount yet, and you want me to thank you?" Gu Xia said with a pouted lip.


    "You really don''t know what''s good for you! Didn''t you impress so many girls with this opportunity? This will help you a lot in pursuing girls!" Li Xia said angrily.


    "Really! So why don''t you be my girlfriend, ss leader! How about it?" Gu Xia looked at Li Xia with a sullen look in his eyes and said.


    "Keep dreaming~"


    Li Xia blushed when Gu Xia looked at her, and remembering what herpanion just said, she could only run away with a blushing face.


    *****


    After dinner, Gu Xia was lying on the bed watching the news, and suddenly Tu Sisi sent a message,


    [You were very impressive today, The Love Song Prince!]


    Gu Xia was puzzled by this, and replied, [What do you mean?]


    [Singing love songs in front of so many people, messing around with pretty flowers behind my back, humm~]


    [I''m being wronged! I didn''t even want to sing!] Gu Xia couldn''t help shouting.


    [If it wasn''t for my ssmate''s sister who took a video and sent it to her, I wouldn''t have known if the handsome Gu could be so majestic.] Tu Sisi replied with a pang of jealousy.


    [Hehe~ Do you have any ns for the National Day?] Gu Xia hurriedly changed the subject.


    [No ns, why are you asking? Do you have any ns?]


    Tu Sisi''s response to the message was very fast this time. Gu Xia had just sent it, and she replied.


    [Then youe to People''s Park tomorrow, and I''ll take you to y. It just so happens that Li Sicheng and Wang Qian will be there. We will also have somepany.] Gu Xia replied.


    [Are you asking me out on a date?]


    Gu Xia looked at the message, smiled bitterly, and replied helplessly,


    [Yes, how about it, Young Miss Tu, will you give me some face!]


    [Then I shall reluctantly apany you!]


    [See you tomorrowgood night!]


    [Good night!]

 Chapter 20: The taste of first love

    Chapter 20: The taste of first love


    Early the next morning, Liu Shu and Wang Qun both went home by car, while Li Wen went on a date with his girlfriend Wang Yan.


    Gu Xia was the only one left in the dormitory. Gu Xia thought about it for a moment and called his father.


    "Oh! Xia Xia, are youing back today? I''ll drive there to pick you up!" His dad Gu Feng''s voice came from the phone.


    "Dad, I won''t be going home in the next two days. I''ll go back in a few days. You and Mom should also spend some time together." Gu Xiaughed when he heard his Dad''s familiar voice.


    "You arenting back! Are you going out to y with your ssmates? Pay attention to safety, you hear? I''ll give you two thousand yuan on the cardter." Gu Feng urged.


    "No need for that Dad, I still have some money." Gu Xia hurriedly said.


    "Its okay, it costs money to socialize outside, and you can''t be stingy with your friends, understand? Although our family is not that rich, we can''t let people look down on us and think were petty. Dont take advantage of others, but also dont suffer losses, you understand? Whoever treats you well, you treat them better, this is the way to make friends. Gu Feng carefully advised.


    Gu Xia heard these words, and there were bursts of warmth in his heart. No matter how old the children were, they would always be a child in the eyes of their parents. It was the same in his previous life, his parents often came to their residence, and every time they would bring food with them.


    In the past, Gu Xia relied heavily on his family. Back then, Gu Xia felt that his parents should support him for everything, but after that moment of life and death, Gu Xia in this life finally understood the love his parents have for him.


    Gu Xia secretly vowed, <em>I must be self-sufficient, and not be the same as my previous life. In the past, I worked so hard every month, but I earned only enough money for monthly use. I must not repeat the same mistakes in this life. Whether it is for my parents, Sisi, or in order to live a better life in the future, I have to work hard!</em>


    "I know Dad, don''t worry! Have you ever seen me suffer losses?" Gu Xia smiled.


    "Well, call me when you''re done ying around, and I''ll pick you up. Your father just bought a car. I''ll pick you up ande home. Your mother talks about you every day." Gu Feng said.


    "Hmm~ I''ll go back in a few days and take a good look at your new car." Gu Xia said with a choked voice, and his eyes couldn''t help but get wet.


    Realizing that the sound of Gu Xia''s voice was not right, Gu Feng asked anxiously, "Xia Xia, what''s wrong? Did something happen?"


    "Dad, it''s alright. There was a gust of wind just now, and the sand caught my eyes. Dad, how are you and Mom? How is Qinqin?" Gu Xia hurriedly exined.


    "Hey, we''re doing well, it''s been more than well actually! Fortunately at that time, I followed your advice and invested in the hotel, and now the hotel business is very hot! I did the math, and ording to that, we will be able to get back our money when the New Year''s dividends are distributed. Now, you don''t have to worry about the family, and you should take care of yourself, you got that?" Gu Fengughed.


    "That''s good, I will take good care of myself as well, Dad, don''t worry!" Gu Xia smiled.


    "Well, then lets hang up." Gu Feng hung up the phone after he finished speaking.


    "Dududu"


    Gu Xia heard that his father had hung up the phone and he put away his mobile phone. He suddenly had an idea. The real estate business would start booming in a few years. Although the real estate industry has just experienced a financial turmoil and it was in a downturn, but this was only temporary.


    Now it was only 5,000 yuan per square meter, but it would rise to 15,000 yuan in a few years. So what would happen to all those old houses? They would need to be renovated, of course!


    And, his father was already engaged in decoration as well. So Gu Xia decided to go back and discuss this matter with his father to open a decorationpany.


    Those decorationpanies in his previous life made a fortune. If his father didnt enter the decoration business, and he didnt get a slice of the pie, he would be wasting the opportunity he got from his rebirth. In addition, he was a sales team leader in his previous life, and he understood the market quite a bit. He was majoring in management in this life, so he could also help his father with some management rted matters.


    Gu Xia looked at the time, it was eight o''clock, and his mobile phone also received a message that his Dad had transferred 2,000 yuan.


    Gu Xia wore a white shirt and jeans today with a pair of white sneakers. Tu Sisi had said in the past that she liked him wearing a white shirt the most.


    After Gu Xia washed up, he washed his head again in the morning, took out Wang Qun''s hairspray, sprayed his hair, and went out with a shiny head. Wang Qun, that guy was very fashion conscious, hairspray, wax, hair gelhe had them all.


    Gu Xia took a taxi and set off. When he arrived at the People''s Park, Li Sicheng and Wang Qian had already arrived. Li Sicheng also dressed up today and Wang Qian dressed beautifully as well.


    Gu Xia saw the two standing at the door talking andughing. He couldn''t helpughing, it seemed that the rtionship between Li Sicheng and Wang Qian had grown a lot! Maybe Li Sicheng would really be able to get the beauty in this life!


    "Sicheng, Wang Qian, have you been waiting for a long time?" Gu Xia walked over and smiled.


    "We also just arrived, why are you alone? Didn''t you say you would bring a girl with you? Where is she?" Li Sichengughed.


    "She should being soon! I just sent her a message, and she said that she is almost here, and it should take two minutes at most." Gu Xia said as he looked at his watch.


    "Lets wait in my car! It''s too hot outside." Li Sicheng said, pointing to a white Chevrolet Cruze in a parking space not far away.


    "Heh! What do we have here, you already bought a car." Gu Xia said while punching his arm with his fist.


    "On a mortgage, my shop hasn''t opened for a long time, and I have to pay the mortgage every month. I even asked my dad for 10,000 yuan when I bought this car.! Otherwise, how could I have so much money!" Li Sicheng seemed quite shy and he said while scratching the back of his head.


    "Anyway, you are much better than me now. We were in the same ss, but now you have a car and a house, s~ the gap in status! President Li, give me a thigh to hug in the future." Gu Xiaughed jokingly, and pretended to beg. He squatted down and hugged Li Sicheng''s thigh, making Li Sicheng almost kick him in fright.


    "Hehehe~"


    Wang Qian saw Gu Xia joking with him from the side, and sheughed until her stomach hurt .


    "Don''t make fun of me, I didn''t continue with my studies, so I look better than you for now. When you graduate from university and find a good job, you will surpass me in minutes!" Li Sicheng waved his hand.


    "That''s not necessarily true. Now, there are more and more fresh graduates in the country who can''t find jobs every year. That old notion of the more books they read, the more money they make, and the more knowledge they have, the more job opportunities they will have is a thing of the past. Now everything in this society depends on connections, and that is the key." Gu Xia said his thoughts, and immediately made Li Sicheng and Wang Qian nod in approval of his statement.


    "Heh~ Our Love Song Prince can also talk about the philosophy of life! It''s quite amazing!"


    Turning to look, they saw Tu Sisi standing aside, pping andughing.


    Tu Sisi did not wear a ponytail today, but had her hair loose, wearing an emerald green dress and a pair of t sandals.


    Gu Xia''s eyes lit up. He had never seen Tu Sisi dressed like this before. Her whole persona gave birth to a familiar new feeling in Gu Xias heart. Yes, it was the taste of first love.


    "You look very beautiful today." Gu Xia sincerely praised.


    "You mean I wasn''t pretty before." Tu Sisi asked Gu Xia, tilting her head.


    "You are beautiful every day, especially today." Gu Xia pouted and said.


    "Sisi, howe it''s you! Are you Gu Xias" Wang Qian came over and said in surprise.


    Tu Sisi nodded with a smile.


    "Really? Are you and Gu Xia dating?" Wang Qian said in disbelief.


    "Not yet I haven''t agreed to him yet, and it will depend on his performance!" Tu Sisi nced at Gu Xia and said.


    "Hah"


    "Okay,dies, it''s gettingte, we should get going." Li Sicheng honked his horn in the car and shouted.


    "Let''s go, we will talk on the way." Wang Qian pulled Tu Sisi into the car.


    Gu Xia sat in the front row seat, and the two girls sat in the back row. As expected of a new car, the air conditioner was quite good. Gu Xia was feeling a little cold. So he turned off the air conditioner lest they would get sick from the journey.


    Li Sicheng started the car, turned on the navigation, and drove towards the destination of this time, Mount Tai.

 Chapter 21: Buying things

    Chapter 21: Buying things


    "Sicheng, you are driving too slowly! There are no cars here. Why are you driving 20 or 30 yards an hour? When are we going to get to Mount Tai? It''s 140 kilometers from here to Mount Tai." Gu Xiained about Li Sichengs driving.


    "I just bought a car not long ago, and it''s still on manual transmission. What do you think I am, a race car driver? Besides, weve almost reached the highway." Li Sicheng said without squinting, still looking ahead.


    "That''s right, I think Li Sicheng''s driving is quite good, very stable, and he doesn''t run rampant like some other people I know." Tu Sisiughed.


    "Hehe"


    Gu Xia smiled bitterly.


    In his previous life, he drove very fiercely. Every time he drove, he would overtake and yell at people, and he often went past the limit when he drank too much. He still remembered eating at his father-inw''s house once. He drove so fast on the way home that Tu Sisi was almost frightened to death.


    "Sicheng, y some music and I want to listen." Wang Qian said with a smile.


    "Okay." Li Sicheng put the disc, and a melodious song sounded in the car.


    "Di di di!"


    Gu Xia''s cell phone message rang, Gu Xia took out his cell phone, looked at the message, and found that it was sent by Tu Sisi. They were in the same car, but she wanted tomunicate through a message, what the hell was this?


    "My aunt is here. I didn''t bring sanitary napkins. Would you like to buy them for me?" (Goblin: The term Aunt usually refers to that part of the month for women.)


    Gu Xias face had a ck line,<em> Buy sanitary napkins? Damn it, I never bought it before even when we were married, and you want me to buy that for you?</em>


    Feeling helpless, Gu Xia turned to Li Sicheng and said, "Sicheng, find a store and stop the car. I have to buy something."


    "Oh, okay."


    Li Sicheng parked the car, Gu Xia got out of the car, gritted his teeth and walked to the store. This was his first time buying this kind of thing. It was really embarrassing!


    When Tu Sisi saw Gu Xia getting out of the car and going to the store, the corners of her mouth slightly raised up, and she felt very happy.


    "Boy, what are you buying?"


    Upon entering the store, an aunt approached him and asked.


    Gu Xia saw that there were several people in front of the cash register who were preparing to pay the bill. He was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to buy sanitary napkins, so he had to say, "I''ll take a look first."


    After saying that he would look around, he walked inside the store alone. Gu Xia looked at the row of sanitary napkins and couldn''t help but worry. Which one would be better to buy?


    Gu Xia didn''t know which brand Tu Sisi used, so he had to pick two packs at random, and only went to pay the bill when he saw that there was no one at the cashier.


    "A total of 50 yuan, young man, are you buying it for your girlfriend!" The cashier aunt said with a smile.


    Gu Xia responded with a flushed face, "Yes."


    Gu Xia hurriedly paid the money, then ran out of the store, and when he got into the car, Gu Xia deliberately kept the ck stic bag behind him, otherwise if Li Sicheng saw it he would probably die ofughter.


    Gu Xia didn''t speak or look at Tu Sisi after getting in the car. He nced in the rearview mirror and saw Tu Sisi''s half-smiley eyes looking at him, and he turned his head in a hurry.


    "Gu Xia, what did you buy just now? Take it out and let us take a look." A strange smile shed on Tu Sisi''s face, and she deliberately caused trouble.


    "Yes, I just saw you carrying a ck bag, what is it? Is it food?" Wang Qian also asked.


    "Ah~ I didn''t buy anything, I didn''t buy anything, just some toiletries." Gu Xia hurriedly waved his hand.


    Gu Xia thought to himself: It''s not what you eat, it''s what you eat elsewhere.


    Gu Xia red at Tu Sisi fiercely in the rearview mirror, this woman wanted to deliberately embarrass him, she was really evil.


    "Toiletries! Did you buy mine? I told you to buy something for me." Tu Sisi saw Gu Xia staring at her and continued.


    "I bought it, I bought it." Gu Xia smiled helplessly.


    "If you bought it then show it to me. If I don''t like it, I don''t need it." Tu Sisi said in a cute tone.


    When Gu Xia heard the words, he fell into a dilemma. It is not good to give, and it is not good to not give. Its not good for my heart!


    Suddenly, he gave up and said, "If you want to see it, I will show it to you!"


    After he finished speaking, he threw the ck bag to Tu Sisi,


    Then he lowered his head and pretended to y with his mobile phone, but his eyes were ntingly staring at the rearview mirror.


    Tu Sisi grabbed the ck bag, but it was snatched away by Wang Qian. After she opened the bag, Wang Qian had an inexplicable smile on her face, and her eyes kept sweeping over Tu Sisi and Gu Xia.


    When Tu Sisi was looked at like that by Wang Qian, her face flushed, she hurriedly grabbed the bag, put it behind her, and red at Wang Qian.


    "What is it! Is there any drink? Give me a bottle if you have one. I''m dying of thirst." Li Sicheng asked.


    "Drink your head, just drive your car." Gu Xia said angrily, and punched him.


    "If you don''t have a drink then its fine, why are you beating me?" Li Sicheng screamed back, feeling aggrieved.


    Gu Xia ignored him, bowed his head, his face was a little hot, and he was embarrassed and angry. He had never been so embarrassed as he was today.


    "Hehe~ I can''t believe that you guys have developed to this stage, Sisi, you''re not being honest, you just said that you didn''t promise to be with Gu Xia, but now you ask Gu Xia to buy this for you, hum~ I think you''re quite cheeky." Wang Qian said while looking at them strangely.


    "What?." Li Sicheng asked.


    "Shut up!"


    Wang Qian and Tu Sisi roared at the same time.


    Frightened, Li Sicheng shrank his neck, hurriedly shut up, and drove seriously.


    Seeing Wang Qianughing all the time, Tu Sisi couldn''t help but start tickling her in anger, and said angrily, "Thisll teach you tough at me~"


    "Haha~Sisi, stop tickling, haha~"


    "You''re so embarrassed that you''re angry, haha~ Stostop tickling, Big Sister!"


    Wang Qian said while being out of breath from all theughing.


    "Hmph~ I''ll spare you this time, and I''ll never let you go next time." Tu Sisi retracted her hand and hummed.


    "Haha~ Sisi ah Sisi, this time your weaknesses are in my hands! Humph~" Wang Qian wiped away her tears and continued.


    When Tu Sisi heard this, she reached out to tickle her again.


    Wang Qian hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don''t, don''t, I didnt say anything!"


    Although Wang Qian didn''t say anything, her eyes kept looking at Tu Sisi and Gu Xia.


    Gu Xia felt nothing, but Tu Sisi was really embarrassed, and her ears were all red.


    Gu Xiaughed in his heart, <em>Werent you feeling quite daring, and you let me buy sanitary napkins, humhow does it feel now!</em>

 Chapter 22: A woman’s sixth sense

    Chapter 22: A woman¡¯s sixth sense


    After getting on the highway, Li Sicheng increased the speed of the car. Both Tu Sisi and Wang Qian said they wanted to have a quick nap, and instructed the boys to wake them when they got to the destination.


    Gu Xia was ying the game of Tetris with his mobile phone. Unfortunately, there were no games like BUBG on the mobile phone. Even if there was, the current mobile phone couldn''t run it.


    Gu Xia missed his previous life a little. He could swipe Weibo, Moments, and y BUBG in moments like this. But now he couldn''t y anything, so he could only y Tetris to pass the time.


    Gu Xia didn''t talk to Li Sicheng. After all, they were on the highway, so he couldn''t be distracted while driving. Who made Li Sicheng, this newby, a driver?


    At noon, the car stopped at the highway service area, Gu Xia woke the two girls, and then the four continued on the road after eating.


    After driving for a while, they got stuck in a traffic jam on the highway. After all, it was the National Holiday. A lot of people came out to y around. Because of the traffic jam, they had to move really slow on the highway.


    It was not until ten o''clock in the evening that they reached the foot of Mount Tai.


    Gu Xia was feeling dizzy in the car, and his back was sore. After getting out of the car, he stretched his waist.


    "Let''s go find a hotel first, and then go to eat something! Now is the most prosperous time of the year for tourism, and hotels are not easy to find, and there are far fewer hotels now than in the past." Gu Xia suggested.


    He still remembered that time he and Tu Sisi went on a trip in their previous life, and they spent a long time looking for a hotel in the middle of the night, nearly avoiding sleeping on the streets.


    Fortunately, Mount Tai was a well-known tourist destination in the country, and there were quite a few hotels. The four of them booked two rooms, put away their clothes, and then went out to eat together.


    "What do you want to eat?" Wang Qian asked.


    "Anything is okay! I''ve been in the car all day and I''m exhausted. After eating, I just want to rest." Tu Sisi said.


    "You guys are still tired from sittingfortably in the car. I drove the car all day, and I stepped on the clutch and brake so many times." Li Sicheng pouted.


    "Sicheng, your kidneys are not good! Your legs are weak at such a young age. How can you be with Wang Qian in the future!" Gu Xia teased, and then looked at Wang Qian.


    When Tu Sisi heard the words, her face turned red, and she gave Gu Xia a nk look.


    "Gu Xia, boy, is your face feeling itchy?" Li Sicheng shouted through gritted teeth.


    "Gu Xia, you want to die? You''re so bad!" Wang Qian stomped her feet and said angrily.


    "Haha~"


    Gu Xia smiled and walked into a restaurant first.


    "Sisi. You have to do something about your Gu Xia." Wang Qian took Tu Sisi''s hand and shook it, and said in a sullen voice.


    "He doesn''t belong to my family, why do I have to care about what he does?" Tu Sisi gave her a nk look and smiled.


    "He buys that for you woohoo~"


    Before Wang Qian could finish speaking, Tu Sisi covered her mouth, and she could only whimper.


    "You got a death wish! There are so many people here, and you are saying such things." Tu Sisi said shyly.


    "Huh~ You almost suffocated me, and you did it, so what are you afraid of?" Wang Qian took a deep breath and squinted at Tu Sisi.


    "What did I do, what are you saying?" Tu Sisi rolled her eyes and asked.


    "You know it yourself." Wang Qian said strangely.


    "I dont want to talk anymore, I''m hungry, let''s go eat." After Tu Sisi finished speaking, she walked to the restaurant.


    "Heh, youre feeling guilty" Wang Qianined to Tu Sisi''s back.


    "Qianqian, let''s go in too!" said Li Sicheng, who was bewildered while listening to their banter.


    "Hmm~"


    *****


    In the restaurant, Gu Xia had already ordered and was drinking a bottle of cold beer.


    Gu Xia squinted and enjoyed the feeling. It was reallyfortable to feel the cool breeze from the air conditioner and drink cold beer in this summer heat.


    "Just look at this pervy expression of yours, who knows what dirty thoughts youre thinking" Tu Sisi saw Gu Xia''s intoxicated expression, and couldn''t help butin.


    Hehe~ What do you think Im thinking?" Gu Xia smiled at Tu Sisi and gave her a wink.


    "Go die! Can''t you be serious, your mind is full of filth every day." Tu Sisi said angrily.


    "I didn''t say anything, why are you getting so angry? It can''t behehe"


    Gu Xia took a sip of beer and looked at Tu Sisi with a smile.


    Tu Sisi wanted to beat him up, but when she saw Wang Qian and Li Sichenging in, she resisted the urge and gave Gu Xia a hateful look.


    Seeing this situation, Gu Xia couldn''t help butugh.


    *****


    It was 11:30 pm when the four of them returned to the hotel after dinner.


    Because there were two rooms, Gu Xia and Li Sicheng had to share one room, and Tu Sisi and Wang Qian had one room.


    Gu Xia wanted to share a room with Tu Sisi, but he had no choice. He couldn''t tantly tell Wang Qian to change the room. Not to mention whether Wang Qian would agree or not, Gu Xia was sure that Tu Sisi would definitely beat him up.


    Tu Sisi, who had been taught defensive techniques and military boxing by her father since she was a child, was not very hesitant in her actions. In his previous life, Gu Xia was beaten up by Tu Sisi because of the problem of sharing the same bed. Whenever Gu Xia wanted to fight back, the murderous look in his father-inw''s eyes would appear in his mind, and he immediately gave up.


    Since Li Sicheng took a bath first, when Gu Xia came out of the bath, Li Sicheng had already fallen asleep.


    Gu Xia looked at the air conditioner, and then looked at Li Sicheng. He was really like a 13 year old. He didnt turn on the air conditioner, and he even slept under a quilt. Gu Xia admired Li Sichengs personality.


    Gu Xia turned on the air conditioner, turned on the TV, and watched the news while leaning on the bed. Fortunately, this was a spacious room or he would not be able to sleep with this snore that sounded like thunder.


    Gu Xia thought, <em>If Wang Qian knew that Li Sicheng snored so loudly in his sleep, what would her expression be like?</em>


    *****


    And, at the same time Tu Sisi in the next room was looking at Wang Qian, who was also snoring. She was speechless for a while. She didn''t expect that her friend had the habit of snoring. Since the two had never lived together in their past life, she didn''t know.


    Tu Sisi was also thinking, What would Li Sicheng think if he knew that Wang Qian snored?


    "Hah~"


    Tu Sisi sighed,y down on the bed, and sent a message to Gu Xia, "Are you sleeping?"


    Seeing that Gu Xia didn''t reply, he probably fell asleep.


    "He''s really a pig! He slept so early."


    Tu Sisi muttered, then put the phone on the bedside and turned off the lights to sleep.


    Tu Sisi really wronged Gu Xia this time, because at that moment Gu Xia was picking up the phone call from his sister Gu Qin.


    "Gu Xia, I heard from Dad that you were traveling, where did you go to y?" The crisp voice of Gu Qin came through the phone.


    Gu Xia smiled and said, "Just arrived at Mount Tai."


    "Wow~ Mount Tai! It''s the mysterious Mount Tai written in the books. I read that there were many emperors there in ancient times where they gave Zen! I really want to go! Smelly Gu Xia, you didn''t take me there." Gu Qin eximed in admiration, and thenined


    "Hehe, I''ll take you to y next time." Gu Xia smiled and touched his nose.


    "Hmph~ Who knows when that next time wille. I say, did you get a girlfriend, and this time you are going to y with your girlfriend?" Gu Qin asked with a snort.


    "No, it''s just a ssmate, don''t talk nonsense." Gu Xia retorted.


    "Cheh you still want to lie to me. From the perspective of a woman''s sixth sense, you definitely brought a girlfriend to y with." Gu Qin did not believe him.


    "Dead girl, whats all this nonsense about a woman''s sixth sense? Are you a woman? You''re a little girl at best. You better watch less TV series in the future. You''re talking nonsense all day long now." Gu Xia rebuked helplessly.


    "Hmph~ Mind your own business, alright, I''m going to sleep, remember to bring me the specialties from many ces when youe back, if you don''t bring it, hmph! you''re dead." Gu Qin gave him a threat.


    "Okay, I will do that. Now go to sleep!" Gu Xia hung up the phone after saying that.


    Gu Xia felt helpless when the callsted for more than ten minutes. Every time his sister called, she always had to talk for more than ten minutes, and she still wanted to talk more. It was a headache!


    "Um~ A message?"


    Gu Xia saw that there was an unread message, and opened it, it was the sentence "Are you asleep?" sent by Tu Sisi


    Gu Xia replied, "Not yet, can''t sleep, what are you doing?"


    Gu Xia stared at the phone for more than ten minutes without receiving any reply from Tu Sisi. Gu Xia gave a wry smile, thinking that she probably fell asleep.

 Chapter 23: The past

    Chapter 23: The past


    The next day, everyone got up very early. Although they slept sotest night, they didn''t want to waste the time they had to enjoy the outdoors.


    Only Gu Xia kept yawning sleepily. Last night, he watched TV and didn''t fall asleep until after two in the morning. If Li Sicheng didn''t wake him in the morning, Gu Xia would have slept until the afternoon at the very least.


    "Gu Xia, did you go out to do burryst night? You have been yawning since you woke up." Wang Qian looked at Gu Xia and teased him.


    "It''s all your family''s Li Sicheng''s fault." Gu Xia nced at her andined.


    "Gu Xia, do you want to die!? Since when did Li Sicheng be my family?" Wang Qian said with shame and anger.


    Although Li Sicheng was pursuing her, and even though she was about to agree to him, this guy couldn''t just keep saying such things like this! She was a girl after all!


    "Hehe~" Tu Sisi covered her mouth, then smiled and said, "Qianqian, you should just go out with Li Sicheng already!"


    "You two are shameless, sooner orter, you won''t beughing like that anymore, hmph~" Wang Qian said angrily.


    Gu Xia and Tu Sisi didnt say anything, they only smiled. Wang Qian became more angry, she turned her head and said to Li Sicheng, "Didn''t you see that I was being bullied by them! Why are you just standing there like a block of wood?"


    "Hehe" Li Sicheng didn''t reply, he scratched the back of his head andughed.


    "Humph!"


    Wang Qian snorted coldly, but did not continue scolding Li Sicheng. Although Li Sicheng was a little dull, he was really good to her. In fact, this trip was also proposed by Wang Qian. No matter what Wang Qian asked for, Li Sicheng tried his best to her with a smile. This moved Wang Qian, and she promised Li Sicheng to be his girlfriend when they went back.


    "Okay, let''s get going. If we only keep talking like this, it will be noon." Tu Sisi looked at the time and reminded them.


    "Let''s go!"


    *****


    The four of them walked all the way to Mount Tai. While standing at the foot of the mountain, they were unable to see its peak which was towering into the clouds.


    Gu Xia and Li Sicheng acted as coolies, carrying backpacks for the two girls with food and some of their belongings.


    "Here~ take this, or you will be a piece of coal."


    After speaking, Tu Sisi threw a bottle of sunscreen to Gu Xia, and she took out another bottle and applied it on her arms and neck.


    Gu Xia also applied it on his body like Tu Sisi. He had tanned a lot during his military training. If he tanned more again, he would be even darker than Gu Tianle.


    Wang Qian and Li Sicheng also applied their sunscreen and the four of them continued walking up the path of the mountain.


    Tu Sisi suddenly frowned, turned her head and said, "You all go up slowly first. My stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom. Ille join youter."


    "Why don''t I wait for you here! Sicheng, you and Wang Qian go first." Gu Xia thought about it and quickly suggested.


    "Okay, then you guyse quickly!" Li Sicheng nodded and said.


    Gu Xia found a tree and stood under it. The sun was so hot at this time of the day that he couldn''t bear it.


    "Di Di Di!"


    Gu Xia''s cell phone suddenly rang, it was a message from Tu Sisi.


    [Bring me a sanitary pad from my backpack, I forgot to bring it.]


    Gu Xia suddenly felt like his head was about to explode, you are in the women''s toilet! Big sister, why do you keep making me do such embarrassing things!


    [What if there is someone in the women''s toilet, how can I get in?] Gu Xia replied.


    [There was no one inside when I came in, soe quickly.] Tu Sisi responded quickly.


    Gu Xia hesitated for a moment and walked to the women''s toilet. He kept looking left and right along the way, feeling a burst of shame in his heart.


    When he arrived at the entrance of the women''s toilet, Gu Xia was still too embarrassed to go in. If he is seen, his reputation would be ruined, and he might be arrested by the police. Gu Xia fell into a great dilemma.


    "Di Di Di"


    [Why haven''t youe yet?]


    Tu Sisi sent another message, Gu Xia gritted his teeth, looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he quickly ran into the women''s toilet.


    Is it Gu Xia? I''m herehere!


    As soon as Gu Xia entered, he heard Tu Sisi''s voice.


    "Quick! Open the door, take it." Gu Xia ran over and urged.


    Gu Xia kept looking at the toilet entrance, afraid that someone woulde at this time.


    Tu Sisi slightly opened the door, reached out to catch the thing, and quickly closed the door.


    Gu Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he was about to go out, he heard the voices of two girls at the door, and hurriedly said in a low voice, "Tu Sisi open the door quickly, someone ising."


    Tu Sisi also realized that the situation was urgent, so she hurriedly opened the door, and Gu Xia ran inside in a sh.


    Because the bathroom was too small, Gu Xia and Tu Sisi stood there staring wide-eyed at each other as soon as he entered, and the atmosphere turned very tense.


    "It''s so hot outside, my underwear is soaking wet, it''s really ufortable!" Said a female voice outside the door.


    "Yeah!" Another girl''s voice was also heard.


    When Gu Xia heard the voices, he became very nervous! He looked at Tu Sisi, and saw that her face was covered in fine sweat, her mouth was exhaling hot air, and her snow-white neck was full of sweat because of the tension.


    Gu Xia''s originally nervous expression calmed a lot because of this. He looked at Tu Sisi''s twinkling eyes, and a tent formed in his trousers to express his mood.


    Tu Sisi felt the heat of his breath on her ears, turned her head to look, and was suddenly startled. She saw Gu Xia breathing heavily, looking at her with red eyes, and there was an intense atmosphere in the air.


    When Tu Sisi heard the two people leave, she hurriedly pushed Gu Xia away, opened the door and ran out.


    When Gu Xia was pushed away by Tu Sisi, he also woke up, and hurriedly walked out of the women''s toilet.


    The two walked up the mountain one behind the other, without saying a word along the way, and the atmosphere between them was extremely awkward.


    Gu Xia wanted to speak several times, but he didn''t know what to say, so he could only silently walk behind Tu Sisi.


    Although the two had countless intimate contacts in their previous life, Gu Xia had a strange impulse in his heart just now. He suddenly felt that his feelings for Tu Sisi were a little different from the past. Gu Xia couldn''t figure out exactly what was different. It might be due to their rebirth.


    "Why are you two so slow? We''ve been resting here for a long time."


    Gu Xia looked up and saw Wang Qian and Li Sicheng shouting at them from above.


    When the four of them managed to walk all the way to the top of the mountain, it was already evening. They were just in time to watch the sunset.


    Standing on the top of the mountain and watching the sunset, they fell into an entirely different mood.


    Li Sicheng and Wang Qian were standing next to each other, while Gu Xia and Tu Sisi stood close side by side.


    "Gu Xia, do you still remember our past?" Tu Sisi suddenly asked a question.


    "Of course I do. I often dream about it in the middle of the night, and I even dreamed that our family was still together." Gu Xia said with a look of reminiscence.


    "I really miss my Chengcheng!" Tu Sisi closed her eyes and said in a dreamy way. (G: Chengcheng is the name of their son.)


    <strong>Goblin:</strong> Sorry for posting sote. I was busy with something in irl.

 Chapter 24: Tu Sisi faints

    Chapter 24: Tu Sisi faints


    "Wait until we give birth to Cheng Cheng in the future, and we can still tease him as before and watch him grow up." Gu Xia hugged Tu Sisi and said in her ear.


    Tu Sisi leaned against Gu Xia''s arms, looked at his young face and said, "Can we really have our Cheng Cheng again?"


    After speaking, she leaned back into Gu Xia''s arms and said, "I''m very afraid. I haven''t dared to think about it for these past few months. But I''m really very afraid"


    Gu Xia hugged Tu Sisi tightly, and with a gloomy expression on his face, he kissed Tu Sisi''s forehead and said, "Okay, when we have a baby in the future and we call him Cheng Cheng, he will be just as cute as Cheng Cheng."


    "Hmm"


    Ever since Gu Xia was reborn, he never dared to think of his son, not because he didn''t want to, but because he knew that his son had left him forever.


    Gu Xia remembered that when Tu Sisi was in the delivery room, it was winter, and he walked outside the door smoking a cigarette, and waited all night long even though it was freezing cold.


    He remembered getting up in the middle of the night to change his diapers, prepare milk, and when that little guy called him Dad for the first time


    It''s not that he didn''t want to remember, but he loved him so deeply that he didn''t dare to think about him now that he lost him. Because when he thought about him, his heart hurt as if it was being ripped apart!


    *****


    At night, the four of them went down the mountain together, went back to the hotel to rest after dinner, and nned to go to other ces nearby the next morning.


    Gu Xia had just finished taking a shower when he heard a hurried knock on the door. He opened the door, and saw Wang Qian standing at the door with a face full of panic. When she saw Gu Xia, she hurriedly said, "Gu Xia, hurry up, something has happened to Sisi. "


    Hearing this, Gu Xia hurried to the next room, only to see Tu Sisi lying on the bed, Gu Xia rushed over and shouted, "Sisi, Sisi, why are you like this?"


    Seeing that there was no response from Tu Sisi, Gu Xia turned around and asked, "Wang Qian, what''s wrong with Sisi?"


    "I don''t know either! I was just watching TV when I heard Sisi calling me, so I ran to the bathroom. As soon as I got inside, Sisi fell on top of me and passed out. I don''t know what happened to her!" Wang Qian said in a panic.


    "Don''t worry! Gu Xia, get in the car with Sisi on your back, and lets take her to the hospital." Li Sicheng hurried back to his room to get dressed.


    Gu Xia carried Tu Sisi on his back and followed Li Sicheng to the parking lot.


    "Sisi, don''t worry! We haven''t shared our life with each other yet, didn''t you say you want to have another child with me?"


    Gu Xia was sweating profusely, and he kept talking nonstop.


    "Quick! Sicheng, hurry up."


    As soon as he got in the car, Gu Xia urged Li Sicheng to drive faster.


    Li Sicheng also knew that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly increased the speed. Fortunately, it was night and there were no cars on the road.


    After arriving at the hospital, Li Sicheng went to find a doctor. After a while, the doctor on duty came. He asked Gu Xia to put Tu Sisi into the inspection room, and then asked the nurse to close the door.


    Outside the inspection room, Gu Xia was walking around, feeling extremely anxious. He didn''t understand what happened to Tu Sisi. She was fine during the day, why did she suddenly pass out at night?


    "Gu Xia, don''t worry, the doctor is checking, don''t worry, Sisi will be fine." Wang Qianforted him.


    "Yes, wait for the doctor toe out, let''s sit down and wait for the result!" Li Sicheng also said.


    "Hah"


    Gu Xia sighed, sat on the chair, lowered his head and kept grabbing his hair with his hands.


    After half an hour, the doctor came out, but Gu Xia felt like a century had passed.


    "Doctor, how is she?" Gu Xia hurriedly asked.


    "The patient''s health is not an issue. We won''t know detailed results until the examination resultse out. The patient will wake upter, so you should go and pay the fee first." The doctor took off his mask and said.


    "There won''t be a problem, right?" Gu Xia asked nervously.


    "I''ve already said that the patient is fine. As for why she lost consciousness, we won''t know until the test resultse out. Just wait!" the doctor continued.


    "Okay, thank you doctor!" Gu Xia said gratefully.


    When Gu Xia arrived at the payment office and learned that he had to pay 5,000 yuan, his expression suddenly changed. With the 2,000 yuan his father gave him, he still needed more than 3,000 yuan, so he had to borrow it from Li Sicheng.


    After paying the fee, Gu Xia walked into the ward, and Tu Sisi in bed still did not wake up.


    "Go back and rest first! I''ll be watching here, and I''ll inform you when Sisi wakes up." Gu Xia said to them when he noticed Wang Qian with a tired face.


    "No, I''m also staying here to wait for Sisi." Wang Qian stubbornly shook her head.


    Gu Xia looked at Li Sicheng, and when he saw that he also shook his head to signal that he would not leave, Gu Xia didn''t say any more.


    Tu Sisi''s face was pale, there was a needle in her hand, and her brows were tightly wrinkled, as if she was in pain.


    Gu Xia held her hand tightly and softly said, "Sisi, don''t be afraid, I''m by your side!"


    Seeing this, Wang Qian pulled Li Sicheng, and then the two quietly walked out of the ward, guarding outside.


    "Sisi, wake up! As long as you wake up, I will do whatever you want me to do."


    "Sisi, don''t you want to hold Cheng Cheng? Let''s have another child together, okay?"


    "Sisi, wake up!"


    Gu Xia kept talking and tears kept streaming down his face.


    Since his rebirth, Gu Xia had never felt so uncertain and helpless as today. Even if it was an absurd matter as rebirth, he epted it very quickly.


    He thought that without Tu Sisi, he could live a better and more rxed life, and he could y around without care and pick up girls.


    But at the door of the supermarket, when he first met Tu Sisi, and when he learned that she was also reborn, that string in his heart suddenly twitched. He knew that his thoughts were ridiculous, and he really couldn''t live without her!


    "Sisi, do you still remember when we got married? You had been pregnant with Cheng Cheng for two months at that time, and everyone said that I was so lucky to be able to marry such a beautiful wife as you. Yes, they were right, it is my blessing to be able to marry you." Gu Xia said in a low voice with a face of reminiscence.


    In the middle of the night, the hospital was quiet. In the corridor, Wang Qian fell asleep leaning on Li Sicheng. Li Sicheng was looking at Wang Qian who was sleeping with a happy face.


    And Gu Xia was too sleepy because he didn''t sleep wellst night, and fell asleep with his face on Tu Sisi''s hand.


    *****


    Gu Xia, who was sleeping, hadn''t slept too deeply, so when he felt the hand under his face move, he woke up immediately.


    Gu Xia rubbed his eyes and looked at Tu Sisi, only to see that her eyes were still closed, but her mouth was moving. Gu Xia got excited and hurriedly said, "Sisi, you are awake!"


    "Hubby, go see if Cheng Cheng is hungry, make some milk for him to drink" Tu Sisi said in a dreamy voice.


    Gu Xia was close to Tu Sisi''s mouth, but when he heard this sentence, he was filled with self-disgust. He touched Tu Sisi''s face and whispered in her ear, "Don''t worry, Cheng Cheng is sleeping after he had milk."


    When Tu Sisi heard the words, a smile appeared on her face, and then she fell asleep again.

 Chapter 25: Delusional disorder

    Chapter 25: Delusional disorder


    Gu Xia looked at the time. It was already six in the morning. He moved his stiff body and continued to wait for Tu Sisi to wake up.


    "Gu Xia, eat something!" Li Sicheng came in early and urged him.


    "Put it here! Thank you, Sicheng." Gu Xia said in a hoarse voice.


    Hearing this, Li Sicheng punched him on the shoulder and angrily said, "We are brothers, so why are you thanking me!"


    Gu Xia looked at Li Sicheng''s haggardplexion, and felt a warm feeling in his heart, so he softly said, "Thats right, were brothers."


    "I''m just outside, you better call me if you need something, alright?" Li Sicheng looked at the unconscious Tu Sisi and said with a sigh.


    "Hmm"


    Gu Xia ate something and quietly continued to guard.


    The door of the room pushed open, and a doctor came in. He nced at Tu Sisi, and asked Gu Xia, "Is the patient still not awake?"


    "Yes, she hasn''t woken up yet, doctor, have the resultse out?" Gu Xia hurriedly asked.


    "Who are you to the patient?" The doctor asked.


    "I''m her husboyfriend, you can show it to me." Gu Xia almost said the word husband, and hurriedly changed his words.


    "Thene with me!" The doctor nodded and said.


    In the doctor''s office, the sign on the doctor''s chest showed that his surname was Li. At the moment Doctor Li was sitting at the table, and Gu Xia was sitting opposite of him, nervously looking at the doctor.


    "The patient''s body is quite healthy. As for why she fainted, we have checked and suspected that it may be a psychological or mental illness. Since the patient has not woken up yet, we are not sure what the cause is." The doctor looked at the test results and said.


    "Psychological or mental illness?" Gu Xia froze for a moment and asked in disbelief.


    "Yes, you can go apany the patient first. Once she wakes up, you have to notify me, and I will arrange for a psychiatrist to check her." Director Li said.


    "Okay, thank you Doctor Li." Gu Xia stood up and thanked him.


    After Gu Xia returned to the ward, Wang Qian and Li Sicheng hurried forward, and Wang Qian asked anxiously, "What did the doctor say?"


    Originally, she also wanted to listen to what the doctor said, but Gu Xia asked her to stay here. If Tu Sisi woke up, she would also need someone to take care of her, so she didn''t go.


    Gu Xia pretended to be rxed and said with a smile, "It''s okay, the doctor said that Sisi was anemic during this time, and you also know that it was that time of the month for her, so she fainted, and she will wake up very soon"


    Gu Xia continued, "Okay, now you and Sicheng can go rest! I will stay here."


    When Wang Qian heard that Tu Sisi was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Thats good, well go back to rest first, and when Sisi wakes up, remember to call me as soon as possible, okay? Well just sleep for a while ande back."


    "Okay, don''t worry, Sicheng, take Wang Qian back to rest, I''m going to be okay here." Gu Xia nodded and said to Li Sicheng.


    "Okay, call me if you need anything." Li Sicheng nodded and said.


    "I knowI know!"


    Gu Xia walked into the ward only after watching the two of them leave, and was stunned as soon as he entered, only to see Tu Sisi standing by the window, staring nkly outside.


    "Sisi, you are awake?Thank god!" Gu Xia rushed over and grabbed Tu Sisi''s shoulder.


    "Gu Xia, I''m hungry." Tu Sisi said numbly.


    "Okay, you wait here, I''ll buy you something to eat." Gu Xia said hurriedly.


    "Also, don''t forget to pick up Cheng Cheng, his kindergarten is about to close soon." Tu Sisi shouted.


    Gu Xia had just walked to the door when he was stunned. He was struggling to ept this.


    It seems that the doctor was right. This sickness was not of the body, but the mind!


    "Hmm"


    Gu Xia responded, and the moment he went out, tears kept pouring out without stopping.


    No wonder Tu Sisi was acting a little strange on the top of Mount Tai yesterday!


    She misses her son so much!


    Gu Xia took a deep breath, wiped his tears, and went to the hospital cafeteria to buy her some porridge and steamed buns.


    When he came back, there was a doctor and two nurses standing in the ward. Just when Gu Xia wanted to go in, he was stopped by the nurse.


    "Give me the food, you have to wait at the door, the doctor is checking," Said one of the nurses.


    Gu Xia walked outside the door, and he knew that the doctor was a psychiatrist.


    Gu Xia clenched his hands tightly, feeling uneasy in his heart, he was really afraid.


    At this moment, Tu Sisi''s parents and sister ran over, and after seeing Gu Xia, Tu Jianguo hurriedly asked, "How is Sisi?"


    "They are still checking her condition inside, and we won''t know until the doctores out." Gu Xia replied.


    "How could such a thing happen? I didn''t want her to go out this time. Tu Jianguo, if you didn''t agree, could Sisi have such an ident? If it wasn''t for the hospital calling us, we would still not know." Tang Chunhua said angrily.


    "Mom, don''t talk too much. When the doctores out, we''ll know how Sisi is doing. Don''t worry, Sisi has always been tough, she''ll be fine." Tu Fangfangforted her mother.


    "Gu Xia,e with me, I have something to ask you." Tu Jianguo pointed to the end of the corridor and said, and he walked over there.


    Gu Xia nodded and followed.


    Tu Jianguo handed a cigarette to Gu Xia, and he lit his cigarette and took a deep breath. Looking at Gu Xia, he said, "What''s going on? What did the doctor say?"


    Gu Xia took a deep breath and slowly repeated what the doctor said to Tu Jianguo.


    "So the doctor said that Sisi has some kind of mental problem?" Tu Jianguo frowned.


    "Hmm" Gu Xia nodded in response.


    "How is that possible? Sisi has always been healthy since she was a child. She even had very few colds and fevers. How could there be a problem with her psychology? Haahh" Tu Jianguo sighed.


    "Uncle, wait for the doctor toe out and well ask the doctor again!" Gu Xiaforted him.


    "That''s the only way, thank you for your hard work." Tu Jianguo said with a slow expression when he saw Gu Xia''s dark circles and tired expression, knowing that he had been caring for his daughter.


    "It''s okay, uncle, this is what I should do." Gu Xia shook his head and said.


    *****


    Everyone waited outside the door, and they didn''t speak. They were all worried about Tu Sisi inside. Some timeter, Li Sicheng and Wang Qian also came over.


    Gu Xia was worried. If the doctor diagnosed Tu Sisi with a psychological problem, and coupled with the strange state Tu Sisi was in for the past two days, his father-inw and mother-inw would definitely be suspicious. When the timees when they ask him about Sisi, what should he say?


    Gu Xia couldn''t help but have a headache. He searched for Tu Sisi''s condition on the Inte. Many people said that it was a mental problem, and it was a problem that urred when someone was missing someone or something to the extreme. There have only been two cases of this situation in the world. And there has never been such a case in China.


    If this is the case with Sisi, then it will be very tricky.


    Gu Xia can only pray secretly in his heart.


    "Creeck!"


    When the doctor and nurse came out, Tang Chunhua hurried forward and asked, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"


    "I have checked your daughter''s mental state repeatedly, and I can initially determine that she suffers from a mental illness called "Psychotic Delusional Disorder." The doctor slowly said.


    "What kind of disease is this Psychosis?" Tu Jianguo asked with a frown.


    "As the name suggests, Psychosis refers to when a person misses someone or something to the extreme, so that the spiritual world evolves into a virtual world. People with this disease will often enter the world they imagined. Theyll say and do strange things." The doctor exined.


    "How could my daughter have this disease? Doctor, how can we treat it?" Tang Chunhua cried.


    "Keep her hospitalized for a few days. If it''s not serious, she can recover with treatment. If it''s serious, then you need to contact foreign experts. There is currently no one with the experience in treating such diseases in China." The doctor shook his head and said.


    "She has to go abroad! Is it so serious?" Tang Chunhua''s body softened for a while, she said in shock.


    "Chunhua, didn''t you hear the doctor say if it''s a serious situation? Wait until we find out." Tu Jianguo supported his wife andforted her.


    "Okay, if there are any issues, you can tell the nurse to call me." The doctor left after saying that.


    "Jianguo, how could Sisi have this kind of disease! My Sisi!" Tang Chunhua cried while leaning against Tu Jianguo''s arms.


    "Okay, stop crying, let''s go in and see Sisi!" Tu Jianguoforted his wife.


    Tu Sisi''s parents and sister all walked into the ward, leaving only Gu Xia and Li Sicheng.


    Gu Xia sighed and said, "Sicheng, Sisi''s family is here, you and Wang Qian should go back to rest first!"


    Li Sicheng nodded and asked, "What about you?"


    "You go first, I''ll go back by myselfter." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "Okay, then take care of yourself, you know? There is 10,000 yuan in this card, you have to take it, don''t refuse, if you refuse, you will punch your face! I will send the password to your mobile pher." He took out the bank card from his pocket and put it in Gu Xia''s hand.


    "Then Gu Xia, be careful." Wang Qian also said.


    "Don''t worry! You go to the hotel to rest first, and I''ll find youter." Gu Xia waved his hand and said.


    <strong>Goblin:</strong> I just want the readers to that such things can indeed happen. A mother''s love for her child is immeasurable.

 Chapter 26: Devastated

    Chapter 26: Devastated


    (Disimer: None of the characters in this novel promotes or supports smoking. Smoking causes cancer. Smoking kills.)


    Gu Xia stood alone in the stairwell in a daze. He didn''t know what was being said in the ward. He couldn''tprehend what happened to Tu Sisi.


    His mood was very irritable, partly because of Tu Sisi''s illness, and partly because of the doctor''s words.


    "Hahh"


    Gu Xia sighed. Then he walked to the door of the ward. Noticing that the door was still closed, he thought that they were still talking inside. So he went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, and squatted on the stairwell to smoke. Although there was a No Smoking sign on the wall, Gu Xia was much too irritated at this moment to care about that.


    Time passed and a sound of footsteps came closer. Gu Xia looked up and saw Tu Jianguo walking over with a sullen face.


    Gu Xia''s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Sisi''s illness was really serious?


    "Uncle, how is Sisi?" Gu Xia asked while still holding a cigarette.


    "I don''t know yet, and I couldn''t see anything wrong. Sisi is still the same as before. At least I didn''t see much of anything the doctor said just now." Tu Jianguo said with a frown.


    "Uncle, don''t worry, maybe Sisi doesn''t have that kind of mental disorder at all! After all, the doctor also said that there are no such cases in China." Gu Xia could onlyfortably say.


    "HahhI hope so!" Tu Jianguo said with a sigh.


    "When Sisi''s motheres out, you can also go in and see Sisi." Tu Jianguo said.


    "Hmm"


    The two men in the stairwell continued to smoke cigarettes, both worried for the same girl, but their troubles were different. After all, what Gu Xia knew, Tu Jianguo didn''t know.


    In the ward, Tu Sisi was drinking porridge with steamed buns, chatting andughing with her mother and sister, and there was no sign of any abnormality described by the doctor at all.


    Seeing this, Tang Chunhua and Tu Fangfang breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense minds also rxed at this moment.


    "Sisi! Are you full already? What else do you want to eat? Mom will buy it for you." Tang Chunhua said while stroking Tu Sisi''s hair.


    "No need, Mom, this is enough for me." Tu Sisi said sweetly.


    "It''s all your dad''s fault. I told him not to let you go out to travel. You''ve never been so far away since you were a child." Tang Chunhuained.


    "Mom, don''t me Dad, it was I who wanted to go traveling." Tu Sisi shook Tang Chunhua''s hand like a child.


    "You! You were spoiled rotten by your father." Tang Chunhua said angrily.


    "Sisi, are you feeling any difort?" Tu Fangfang asked.


    "I''m fine, sister, let''s go home! I want you to cook braised pork for me to eat. The braised pork you make is the best." Tu Sisi said to Tu Fangfang in a cute voice.


    "The doctor said that you still have to be observed, and when we go back, your sister will make you a big te of braised pork, okay?" Tu Fangfang said with a smile.


    "What is there to observe! Look at me, I''m fine, we should go back now, Mom~" Tu Sisi insisted.


    "Sisi, you have to listen to the doctor''s advice. Mom is staying with you here, so isnt that okey?" Tang Chunhua said helplessly.


    "Okay then"


    *****


    Gu Xia didn''t get to see Tu Sisi until the evening, and his mood became more and more irritable.


    Originally, at noon, he wanted to go in to see Tu Sisi, but he was told by Tang Chunhua that Tu Sisi had already fallen asleep. She also told him to go get a good rest, and not disturb Sisi''s rest.


    He knew that his mother-inw was ming him for inviting Tu Sisi to travel and not taking good care of her, which made Sisi be like this.


    Gu Xia was sitting alone on a chair downstairs in the hospital, with dense cigarette butts scattered under his feet. He had already smoked two packs of cigarettes today, his expression was sluggish, and his eyes kept dozing off. He was feeling fatigued, and this fatigue was more of a mental one.


    "Here"


    A bottle of drink was handed to Gu Xia.


    Gu Xia looked up and saw Tu Fangfang standing in front of him.


    "Don''t take it to heart, her mother is in a bad mood because of Sisi. She has resentment towards you for this matter, so she didn''t let you see Sisi. You should go back to the hotel to rest first! I think you''re going to fall ill like this." Tu Fangfang said softly.


    After seeing that Gu Xia didn''t respond, he continued, "And you are still young, so there will be more opportunities to meet in the future, you understand? Go back, take a bath, get a good night''s sleep, and thene to see Sisi in a refreshed state. Wouldn''t that be better? Look at you, your beard has grown out, and you look sloppy."


    "Alright then! I''ll be going back first." Gu Xia thought about it and nodded.


    When Tu Fangfang saw Gu Xia''s figure leaving, he couldn''t help but sigh.


    Really a crazy person.


    *****


    When Gu Xia returned to the hotel, Li Sicheng was not in the room. He guessed that he went out with Wang Qian.


    Gu Xia took a cold shower, theny on the bed and fell asleep.


    When he woke up, it was already the next afternoon, and he had slept for nearly twenty hours since he sleptst night.


    Gu Xia washed his head and shaved his beard. He looked at his refreshed self in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.


    "Creek!"


    "Gu Xia, wake up! Come, and eat something, I guessed that you were about to wake up at this time, so I brought you something to eat, eat it!" Li Sicheng walked in and offered him food.


    "Well, don''t say it, I''m really hungry."


    Gu Xia was not polite, picked up the food and ate it.


    "Where''s Wang Qian? Why isnt she with you?" Gu Xia asked while eating.


    "Sheshe''s feeling a little unwell, so she''s resting in the room." Li Sicheng scratched his head.


    "Oh~ you have to take good care of Wang Qian, don''t be like me and make her sick too." Gu Xia urged.


    "Don''t worry! Go to the hospital after dinner! I''ll meet you thereter." Li Sicheng smiled.


    "Okay, take care of Wang Qian! I''ll take a taxi." Gu Xia waved his hand and said.


    "Alright then!" Li Sicheng was not worried about Wang Qian, so he easily agreed.


    Gu Xia quickly finished eating, said hello to Li Sicheng, and took a taxi to the hospital. On the way, he also bought a bunch of Tu Sisi''s favorite lilies at a flower shop.


    When he arrived at the hospital, Gu Xia hurried to the ward, but when he opened the ward, he saw that there was no one in it, and the ward was clean and tidy, as if no one lived here from the start.


    Gu Xia was stunned for a while, then turned to look at the door number at the door, it was the right one! But what about Tu Sisi?


    Gu Xia hurried to the nurse''s desk and asked, "Hello, what happened to the patient at number 345?"


    "They have already gone through the discharge procedures in the morning." The nurse replied.


    "What!"


    The flower fell on the ground, but Gu Xia didn''t even look at it. He felt that he had difficulty breathing, and his heart felt very painful.


    Gu Xia took out his mobile phone and dialed Tu Sisi''s number, but no one picked it up. Gu Xia continued to call again and again with the same result.


    <em>Why?</em>


    <em>Why didn''t you tell me when you left?</em>


    <em>Why don''t you answer the phone?</em>


    Gu Xia walked out of the hospital like a walking corpse, and sat in the same position asst night, smoking fiercely.


    Gu Xia''s hand holding the cigarette was shaking, his eyes were looking at the ground without focus.


    After sitting there until the evening, he was found by Li Sicheng and Wang Qian who came to look for him.


    Li Sicheng patted Gu Xia on the shoulder, not knowing what to say or how tofort him.


    He and Wang Qian also went to the ward just now. They also asked the nurse and learned that the Tu Sisi family had left.


    Even Wang Qian felt that Tu Sisi had gone too far this time. She also called and was hung up, making Wang Qian angry to death.


    Wang Qian felt angry for Gu Xia in her heart. <em>Gu Xia guarded you by your bed sleeplessly, but you woke up and didn''t even see him, and left without saying goodbye. Who does that?</em>


    She didn''t feel good about it at all!


    "Come on! Lets go home."


    Gu Xia threw away the cigarette in his hand, stood up, and then walked outside.


    His voice was hoarse and dry from smoking too much, and his figure was a little unstable. His visage cast a gloomy shadow under the street lights.

 Chapter 27: She’s gone?

    Chapter 27: She¡¯s gone?


    On the way back, Gu Xia sat alone in the back row, leaning there with his eyes closed.


    Wang Qian and Li Sicheng didn''t speak either. The atmosphere in the car was very quiet, except for the whistling of the wind outside the window.


    "Gu Xia, don''t be angry, maybe the phone is not with Sisi?" Wang Qian turned her head andforted.


    "I''m not angry, I''m just feeling a little tired due to thesest two days." Gu Xia said with his eyes closed.


    Seeing this, Wang Qian sighed and did not continue to speak. The car drove all the way until they finally returned to Jiangbei City the next day.


    On Xinghua Road, after Gu Xia said goodbye to the two of them, he walked home, carrying the local specialties that Li Sicheng bought near Mount Tai. He bought a lot, so he gave some to Gu Xia.


    Gu Xia looked at the time. Today was October 5th. There were still two days before the end of the holiday. These five days have been really hard on him.


    Gu Xia opened the door, and found that there was no one at home. His parents had gone to work. The two of them never had a fixed rest time. The only time they rested was when they had nothing to do. His sister also went out to y outside.


    Gu Xiay on the bed, and his body rxed for the first time in a while. Only when he was at home was the time when he would be the most calm and rxed. After all, your home is always your own harbor and your own support!


    Gu Xia stayed at home for the next two days. He called Tu Sisi several times during this period, with the same result, which showed that it was turned off.


    Today on the 7th, at night, Gu Xia nned to visit Tu Sisi''s house.


    "Brother, are you leaving again?" Gu Qin asked while eating.


    "Yeah, the ss will officially start tomorrow." Gu Xia patted Gu Qin''s head and smiled.


    "Hehh, Gu Xia, tell the truth, did you get a girlfriend? You''ve been in a bad mood these past two days, it''s like you''ve lost your love." Gu Qin asked with curiosity in her eyes.


    Gu Xia touched his nose awkwardly, not knowing whether tough or cry. This girl was chasing him around every day and asked this question repeatedly, it was really a headache!


    "No, no, you stupid girl, focus more on your studies, don''t care about these things all day long, and children should not meddle with adults'' affairs." Gu Xia said helplessly.


    "Hmph! You? Youre an adult? Hehe~ You are hardly a year older than me and you call me a child. Is it the courage that the university gave you?" Gu Qin rolled his eyes and mocked.


    Gu Xia''s teeth felt itchy, and under Gu Qin''s dissatisfied eyes, he pinched her baby-fat face, and went to take a bath without looking back.


    "Hmph~ Youre feeling guilty after being caught"


    When Gu Xia heard the voice behind him, he couldn''t help but touch his nose and smile bitterly.


    Gu Xia went out after taking a shower. His sses would start the day after, he would have to go back to the university tonight. So he wanted to go to Tu Sisi''s house tonight.


    Because it was still early, Gu Xia did not take a taxi or take a bus, but rode a bicycle.


    The sky was a little dark, and the streets were crowded with people. Some were shopping, some were just getting off work, so the crowd was surging.


    Gu Xia rode a bicycle through the crowd. He looked at many people who just got off work and were waiting for the bus, then remembered the time when he just began doing sales in his previous life. He also squeezed into the bus every day like them, rushing around every day to earn a living. And then he bought a car and didn''t need to do this anymore.


    The wind was blowing and the sun was setting, and he had to endure the crowds of the city every day. Thinking about it again, his life was really not easy!


    It took Gu Xia more than two hours to reach Tu Sisi''s house. Just when Gu Xia was about to lose the feeling in his calf, he finally arrived.


    Gu Xia parked his bicycle, then got on the elevator. When he arrived at the door of Tu Sisi''s house, Gu Xia tidied his clothes and hair, took a deep breath, and knocked on her door.


    "Knock! Knock!"


    No one opened the door. Gu Xia frowned and continued to knock on the door, but no one opened the door.


    Gu Xia was suddenly in a bad mood, so he could onlyfort himself in his heart, and say that they went out.


    "Creeck"


    "Young man, don''t knock, no one is at home, they are out."


    It turned out to be an aunt who opened the door and spoke to him.


    "Auntie, do you know where they went?" Gu Xia asked.


    "I heard that they were sending someone to the airport, but I didn''t hear it too clearly." Auntie thought for a while and said.


    "What!? How long have they been at the airport?" Gu Xia''s expression changed and he asked hurriedly.


    "Its been more than half an hour! Why, boy, are you in a hurry to find them? Give them a call if you are in a hurry! Ahah! He just left? The young people these days! He just ran down the stairs." The aunt looked at Gu Xia''s figure andined.


    Gu Xia was feeling very anxious. Did the thing he was most afraid of finally happened? Is Sisi seriously ill? Did she need to go abroad for treatment?


    <em>But why don''t you talk to me?</em>


    Gu Xia frantically ran out of themunity, and kept looking around on the road, but he didn''t see a taxi for a long time. Where was the taxi when you needed them?


    Finally, Gu Xia saw a taxi and hurriedly waved to stop it.


    "Driver, to the airport, please hurry up, thank you!" Gu Xia said.


    "Okay!"


    *****


    Jiangbei Airport was located on the edge of Jiangbei City. It took nearly an hour to pass from the city even if there was no traffic jam. When Gu Xia arrived at the airport, more than an hour had passed.


    Gu Xia hurriedly got out of the taxi and went to the airport to ask the staff when thest flight was. He learned that thest flight for tonight took off more than ten minutes ago, and he would have to wait until tomorrow morning for the next one.


    When Gu Xia heard the words, it was as if all strength just left his body. He was still toote!


    The foreignnd was so far from home, and he didn''t know where she was. Even if he knew where she was, did he have money to go see her like he had in the past?


    Standing in the deste area outside the airport, Gu Xia couldn''t help but feel sad. He looked up to the sky andughed, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes.


    "Ha ha ha ha!"


    "God, why are you torturing me so much ever since I have been reborn?"


    "Haaahh!"


    *****


    At night, there was a light rain. Gu Xia took a taxi and got off at the entrance of the university. There was a stereo at the entrance of the barber shop at the entrance of the university, and the hottest songs were ying in it.


    "I wasn''t good enough for you before


    I''m felt so sad


    I just me myself


    Why I didn''t hold your hand


    When I lost you


    I realized how important you are


    It''s no use saying sorry now


    Although my heart hurts


    I only me myself


    Why I didnt say I love you


    So I want to say now


    I love you!


    After losing you


    I can''t even breathe."


    Gu Xia liked this song a lot when he was young in his previous life, but now, Gu Xia hated this song very much.


    Because listening to it made him cry!


    Gu Xia looked at the time. It was already 11 o''clock in the evening. When he returned to the dormitory, his three roommates were already asleep. After Gu Xia washed up, he justy on the bed, as he was still a little dazed. He suddenly felt that he didn''t know what to do in the future.


    There was no Sisi!


    There was no Cheng Cheng!


    There was nothing left!


    "Hahh!"


    "Ting!"


    Gu Xia took out his mobile phone, and saw that it was a message from his father,


    [Xia Xia, have you reached the university yet? Your mother said your clothes were old, so I gave you 1,000 yuan in your card. You should buy some new clothes, alright? I wanted to call you, but I''ll send you a message since it''s gottente.]


    Gu Xia''s nose turned sour, and tears flowed out. Yes! I have my parents and my sister!


    "I know, Dad. You and Mom should also take care of yourself, and tell Qinqin that I will bring her something delicious next time." Gu Xia replied.


    "Hmm" Dad returned the message.


    Gu Xia took a deep breath and secretly said to himself, "Cheer up, Gu Xia!"

 Chapter 28: Stunning legs

    Chapter 28: Stunning legs


    Early the next morning, Gu Xia woke up with Li Wen and the other three. Then he took a shower, and went to the cafeteria to have some breakfast before going to ss.


    "Hey~ Third Bro, where have you been ying these days?" Liu Shu asked.


    "I didn''t go anywhere, I just stayed at home." Gu Xia casually answered and continued drinking porridge. He didn''t want to talk about Mount Tai anymore.


    "You locals are just like us non-locals! I went back home to help with farm work, and I didn''t go out for a day." Liu Shu spit out bitter water.


    "I went to my sister''s ce to y for a few days, but I didn''t feel good." Wang Qun also joined the conversation.


    "It''s still Li Wen who wins. He has his girlfriend in his arms every day. I don''t think he even took a step out of the hotel door! Hahaha!" Wang Qun joked.


    "Fu*k you, you won''t even keep your mouth shut when you eat!" Li Wen angrily shoved a steamed bun into his mouth after hearing this.


    "Uuuuafh!


    Wang Qun hurriedly took out the steamed bun in his mouth as if he was vomiting.


    "Hahahaha~"


    When the three saw Wang Qun ying the joker, they couldn''t helpughing, and Gu Xia''s mood improved a lot.


    In the morning, there were very few people eating in the cafeteria. Everyone either slept until ss or went to the university gate to eat.


    The four of them talked,ughed and ate breakfast, and left the cafeteria. After all, each of their departments was different. Only Liu Shu and Gu Xia were from the same department, so they went together, but they were not in the same ss. Of the five sses, Gu Xia was in the third ss, Liu Shu was in the first ss, and they separated when they got to the building of the Economics and Management Department.


    Gu Xia came to ss 3 of the Department of Economics and Management, and saw twenty people sitting inside. Some had their heads down, ying with their mobile phones, and some were reading books. Gu Xia''s arrival did not make everyone look up. After all, he was not a beautiful woman. When there are more wolves and less meat, only beautiful women would attract attention.


    Gu Xia casually found a seat and sat down, waiting for the teacher''s arrival. One after another, students entered the ssroom, and soon there was less than ten minutes before ss began.


    Because Gu Xia sat in thest row, and everyone was still unfamiliar with each other, no one talked to him. Gu Xia was also quite happy about it.


    "Gasp!"


    "Wow~ so beautiful!"


    "That figure is out of this world!"


    Gu Xia, who was ying Sokoban with his head down, heard a burst of exmation. He looked up, and saw a tall, fair-skinned girl standing at the door of the ssroom. She was wearing a id shirt and id skirt, revealing a pair of long white legs.


    When Gu Xia saw those legs, the word "stunning legs" shed in his mind.


    The girl saw that everyone was staring, and her face turned red. She looked around, and when she saw that only Gu Xia was sitting alone in the back row, she walked towards Gu Xia.


    "Hey~ beauty, sit here with me, the guy next to me is not in the same seat as me."


    "Beauty, sit here. You can even sit on myp!" (G: What a creep!)


    When the male students saw the beautiful woman going towards Gu Xia, many of them started calling her.


    Gu Xia saw her sitting next to him with a burst of aroma. He smelled it, and thought, <em>Hmmm Chanel. She is a rich girl.</em>


    "Hello, my name is Xu Mengying." The beauty introduced herself.


    "Ah! My name is Gu Xia." Gu Xia said in a daze.


    The male students in the ss looked at Gu Xia with jealousy. They wished it was them sitting in Gu Xia''s seat.


    Besides Xu Mengying, there were only two other girls in the ss, and these two girls also looked at Xu Mengying with jealousy, because they were not as good-looking as her!


    Originally, when Xu Mengying hadn''te, the other boys showed their hospitality in front of them. But, when Xu Mengying came, she immediately attracted the attention of the boys in the ss.


    Tok! Tok! Tok!


    There was a sound of high-heeled shoes at the door. Everyone looked at the door, and saw a woman in her thirties walking in through the door with textbooks in her arms. She wore ck-rimmed sses, giving people the image of an intellectual beauty.


    Her gaze turned sharp as she nced at the ssroom. Seeing that no one waste, she nodded and said, "Hello, ssmates, I am your four-year university tutor and an honorary associate professor of this school. My name is Wu Jiahui, you can call me Teacher Wu."


    "Hello Teacher Wu!"


    Everyone shouted in unison.


    "Wow~ Can teachers be so sexy? It seems that our ss will be more eye-catching."


    "Yeah yeah"


    Gu Xia smiled when he heard the whispering voices around him. It seemed that his university life would be really colorful!


    "Okay, be quiet. Next, I''ll be calling out your names. Those who have been named will stand up and introduce themselves." Teacher Wu patted the table and solemnly said.


    "Li Liang"


    A boy stood up and timidly said, "Present! Everyone, I''m Li Liang."


    Gu Xia looked at him and gave a very brief evaluation. From his timid appearance, he knew that such people do not like talking very much.


    "Wang Dandan"


    "Present!"


    ""


    ""


    "Gu Xia"


    Gu Xia heard his name, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Present! Everyone, my name is Gu Xia, a local. I am 18 years old this year, and have no girlfriend yet. I like to read, y basketball, and admire beautiful women."


    When everyone heard Gu Xia''s self-introduction, especially when they heard the part that he didn''t have a girlfriend and liked admiring beautiful women, they all burst intoughter. Even Teacher Wuughed.


    "Okay, sit down!" Teacher Wu said with a smile.


    Gu Xia sat down and looked at Xu Mengying next to him. He saw that she was covering her mouth andughing. When she noticed that Gu Xia was looking at her, she blushed and hurriedly turned her head away.


    "Xu Mengying"


    "Present! Hello everyone, my name is Xu Mengying, I live in Xingzi City next to Jiangbei City." Xu Mengying stood up and shyly introduced herself.


    "Very well, everyone has introduced themselves, remember their names, they will be your ssmates for the next four years." Teacher Wu said with a smile.


    "Let''s fix the seating order ording to the current seating. There is no need to adjust it." Teacher Wu continued.


    Those who were looking forward to changing seats suddenly had a bitter look on their faces. They thought that they could change seats and see if they could sit with Xu Mengying. Even if they were not so lucky, it would be better to sit with the other two girls!


    The boys looked at the rough big boys next to them, and couldn''t help sighing. They all looked at Gu Xia and the other two boys who were sitting with the girls with envy and hatred.


    Gu Xia noticed these murderous gazed, touched his nose, and jokingly said to Xu Mengying, "It takes a lot of courage to sit next to you! What do you think, will someone hit me after ss?"


    Xu Mengying was stunned for a moment, she didn''t understand what Gu Xia said for a while. It was only when she noticed the gazes of others, that she understood, and her face turned red again. She gave Gu Xia a nk look, and whispered, "Then go to Liang Jingru. And, let her give you courage!" (G: A pun aimed at the hit song Courage by Liang Jingru aka Fish Leong.)


    Gu Xia was stunned when he heard her words. He didn''t expect that this girl who blushed and looked shy at every turn could also make jokes.


    *****


    At the same moment, at Tu Sisi''s home.


    Both Tu Jianguo and Tang Chunhua had gone to work, and only Tu Sisi and Tu Fangfang were at home.


    Tu Fangfang looked at her younger sister''s dejected appearance and sighed in distress, "What''s the matter with you? Haahh"

 Chapter 29: Torment

    Chapter 29: Torment


    Tu Sisi''s face was haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, and she stared nkly at the floor.


    "Since you like him so much, then why are you lying to him? What''s the use of torturing yourself like this!" Tu Fangfang sighed.


    It turned out that when Gu Xia came to their house a few days ago, Tu Sisi''s family took her to another province by ne to seek treatment.


    "Sister, don''t talk about it anymore, how can I be with him like this? You can see as well, I''m not living like a human being, I am a ghost, and I often get sick. I hate my current self." Tu Sisi said with sad eyes.


    "Hahh! How could such a good person get this kind of disease, what an injustice!" Tu Fangfang couldn''t help crying.


    "Maybe this is life!" Tu Sisi silently cried.


    "Okay, Sisi, Dad has contacted his friends from the military in abroad. After a few days, we will send you overseas for treatment. You will definitely get better." Tu Fangfangforted her sister.


    "I don''t want to go, the treatment will cost 500,000! Sister, where can our family find so much money! And it''s not entirely sure that I will be cured." Tu Sisi hugged her sister and cried even more sadly.


    "Okay, you don''t have to worry about these things. Dad said it''s ok, so it''s ok. Don''t you believe Dad? When did Dad ever lie to us?" Tu Fangfangforted her again.


    "Aaahh"


    Tu Sisi burst into tears.


    *****


    After ss, Gu Xia was lying on the table to get some sleep. He didn''t know where to go if he went out, so he might as well sleep for a while.


    "Bang Bang!"


    Someone pped Gu Xia''s table. Gu Xia looked up and saw a young man with a haircut like Hao Nan, with pierced ears and a leather jacket, was pping his table. Behind him were two more people.


    Gu Xia remembered that this guy was from his ss, but he couldn''t remember his name at the moment.


    Gu Xia nced at him and said, "Is there something wrong?"


    "Youre Gu Xia, right? Let''s change seats, you got no problem with that, right?" The man in the leather jacket said arrogantly.


    Gu Xia nced at Xu Mengying, who was sitting with lowered head, and secretly said, <em>Beautiful women are all sources of troubles!</em>


    Gu Xia said to the man in the leather jacket,"Why should I change seats with you? If you want to change positions you should go and ask the teacher to tell me. If the teacher tells me to change seats, Ill do that. So who are you to tell me? Are you someone from outside the university? Can a gangster enter the university too? If you don''t leave, I''ll call the security."


    Hearing Gu Xia''s bluffing and intimidation, the man in the leather jacket looked left and right, and then said angrily, "Who? Who are you calling a gangster from outside, this is called fashion, fashion, do you understand? And I''m a student in this ss, so what if you call the security guard? I''m not causing any trouble."


    "Oh~ it turns out that you are a student in our ss! I really didn''t know. As for the fashion you are talking about, I''m sorry, I can''t understand it." Gu Xia spread his hands and said.


    "Ha ha ha!"


    Everyone else in the ss burst intoughter.


    "You~" The man in the leather jacket was speechless for a moment, and pointed at Gu Xia with trembling fingers.


    "Boy, you are so arrogant, you don''t even know our Brother Long?" said a short man behind the man in the leather jacket.


    "I''m still not as arrogant as you. Do you know why? You want to show your prestige in the university, and you didn''t even bother to look at what''s next to the university! Do you know why Jiangbei University''s public security environment ranks high in the country? Because next to the university gate is the Public Security Bureau." Gu Xia said sharply.


    "If you want to change seats, then go to the teacher. You can either ask the teacher to tell me, or you can ask Xu Mengying to sit next to you. Don''t think that I don''t know your thoughts. If you want to chase Xu Mengying, you can rely on yourself. Don''t provoke me." Gu Xia stood up after speaking.


    The leader, Long Ge and the others were frightened and took two steps back, thinking that he really was going to do something.


    Gu Xia sneered, <em>You young children want to mess with me? When I worked in my previous life, what kind of people have I not seen? I have a stream of knowledge about such people, including government officials, ordinary office workers, and people from various levels of society.</em>


    Even if he started a fight, Gu Xia was not afraid of them even though he was alone. There were many people who fought. Of course, not all fights were the same. Fighting depended on ruthlessness. If you are more ruthless than your opponent, he will be afraid of you. And Gu Xia had already died once, so what was he afraid of?


    Gu Xia walked out of the ssroom on his own, went to the toilet, and returned to the ssroom, only to see that the man in the leather jacket, Long Ge, was sitting in his seat, talking to Xu Mengying with a smile on his face. Gu Xia walked over to take a picture, then he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go to the other side and don''t disturb my sleep."


    Seeing this, Brother Long, the man in the leather jacket, did not get angry, he got up and walked to the other side of Xu Mengying.


    "Then, Mengying, why don''t we go to dinner tonight? I know there is a good steak house nearby. I''ll take you to eat, okay?" Brother Long smiled at Xu Mengying.


    No."


    Xu Mengying, who was reading a book, rejected his offer.


    "How about going to sing?"


    "No."


    ""


    No matter what he said, Xu Mengying didn''t say anything more than No, and the poor guy didn''t say a word again.


    Gu Xia lied on the desk and secretlyughed, <em>Singing and eating steak? She has Chanel sprayed on her body, have you ever heard of that thing?</em>


    It was obvious that she was not interested in him, and the guy still continued to insist, which was really thick-skinned.


    There were two sses in the morning, and the second ss was about to start. Gu Xia took out the textbook to read it. Gu Xia already knew a lot of the contents from this textbook, but he still needed to read it to freshen his memory.


    "Ding Ding!"


    The ss bell rang, and Brother Long reluctantly returned to his seat.


    Gu Xia nced at him, but didn''t say anything cruel to this kid. After all, this was real life. It was not like those revenge plots in the novel. Everyone goes to the university to study, even if they are a little ruffian, they dont just run around beating people.


    "It''s annoying!"


    Xu Mengying next to him muttered.


    Gu Xia smiled and said, "Beauty is the original sin!"


    Xu Mengying red at him when she heard the words. She wanted to say something, but when she saw the teachere in, she didn''t say anything.


    *****


    In a blink of an eye, a day had passed. On this day, Gu Xia went to the cafeteria for lunch, and spent the rest of the time in the ssroom, except for reading and sleeping.


    In the evening, Gu Xia was thinking of going home. Today was his dad''s birthday. Although the family didn''t say it, Gu Xia still remembered it.


    Gu Xia went to the mall and bought a belt for his dad. His dad had been using the same belt for almost ten years, and the leather was almost rotten.


    He stopped a taxi to go home.


    Gu Xia didn''t know that not far behind, there were two girls looking at him. These two girls were Tu Sisi and Tu Fangfang.


    One day, Tu Sisi suddenly said that she wanted to see Gu Xia for thest time. After all, she was about to go abroad and wanted to have a look at him.


    Tu Fangfang agreed and waited with her at the gate for a long time before they saw Gu Xia. But Tu Sisi was just watching from a distance. Even when he went to the mall, she just watched from afar.


    Seeing her sister burst into tears again, Tu Fangfang couldn''t help but sigh and said, "What foolishness! It''s better not to look at him!"


    After they finished, she took her sister to take a taxi home.

 Chapter 30: Planning for the future

    Chapter 30: nning for the future


    When Gu Xia came home and opened the door, the house waspletely dark. Gu Xia turned on the light and saw that there was no one at home, and there was no trace of anyone eating. He couldnt help but be a little puzzled. It should be his Dads birthday today! So why was no one at home?


    Gu Xia took out his mobile phone and called his father, but didn''t get an answer. So, he called his mom again, and the phone call connected.


    "Xia Xia, why did you call? Are you out of money?" Mom said with a smile.


    Gu Xia smiled bitterly when he heard her words, was he the kind of person who often asked his family for money?


    "No, Mom, isn''t today Dad''s birthday? I came home, but there''s no one here, and Dad didn''t answer the call, so I asked you." Gu Xia asked.


    "You''re back? Why didn''t you tell me earlier? We''re having dinner at the hotel. It''s your Uncle Gu Yun''s Mengxuan Hotel. It''s on Xinjian Avenue. Come over here. Your aunt Zhang and Jingjing are there too." Tang Chunhua was pleasantly surprised when she heard that Gu Xia was back.


    "Okay, I''ll go there right away." Gu Xia replied.


    Gu Xia closed the door and went out and took a taxi. After all, it would take more than 20 minutes to walk there.


    At the entrance of Mengxuan Hotel, Gu Xia paid the money and walked through its magnificent gate. The lighting inside was like daytime. There were two sections in the hotel, one for dinner and one for parties.


    Gu Xia could see across the window, that the hotel was pretty overcrowded, and there were people toasting to each other everywhere. There were two rows of beauties in cheongsams weing the guests standing at the entrance of the hotel. (G: The cheongsam, also known as the qipao, is a Chinese dress worn by women. It is most often seen as a longer, figure-fitting, one piece garment with a standing cor, an asymmetric left-over-right opening and two side slits.)


    When Gu Xia walked to the door of the hotel, they immediately bent down and shouted, "Wee!"


    Gu Xia nodded secretly. It was understandable why Uncle Gu Yun made a fortune in a short period of time in his previous life. The service alone was very good. In fact, the meals in the hotel were almost the same quality.


    "Hello, sir, how many people do you have for dinner?" The man at the front desk asked.


    "Take me to the 3-6 box." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Okay, pleasee this way." A waiter led the way.


    Gu Xia followed the waiter all the way to the inside. The decoration inside was more ancient style, and the walls of the seats were old, which gave it an antique look.


    At the door of the box, the waiter opened the door, and Gu Xia saw his dad and others sitting there and eating. There was a big cake in the middle of the table.


    "Xia Xia is here,e in quickly." Gu Feng smiled.


    "Dad, happy birthday!" Gu Xia walked in and smiled, and handed the gift to Dad.


    "Haha~ My son is so attentive. He noticed his dad''s belt was old, and he bought a new one for me." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "Brother, why are you back?" Gu Qin blinked her eyes and asked.


    "What nonsense, its Dad''s birthday. So why wont Ie back?" Gu Xia patted her head and replied.


    "Brother Xiaoxia" Li Jingjing called out sweetly. (G: Xiaoxia = Little Xia)


    Gu Xia nodded to her with a smile, and then spoke to Aunt Zhang next to her, "Hello Aunt Zhang!"


    "Okay, Xiao Xia, sit down and eat." Aunt Zhang smiled.


    "Dad, where is mom?" Gu Xia asked when he saw that his mom was not there.


    "Your mom went to talk to Aunt Liu. AhAunt Liu is your Uncle Gu Yun''s wife, you haven''t seen her before." Gu Feng exined.


    "Oh." Gu Xia nodded and replied.


    "Xiao Xia, is your study okay?" Aunt Zhang asked.


    "Fortunately, the courses in the freshman year are very loose." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Next year, Jingjing and I will also go to university, and we will go to a university that is better than you, humm!" Gu Qin said softly from the side.


    "Ha ha ha"


    Gu Feng and Aunt Zhang bothughed together.


    "Okay, you have to do what you say." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "Hmph! Of course, we will. Right Jingjing?" Gu Qin asked Li Jingjing.


    "Hmm." Li Jingjing also smiled and nodded.


    "Oh! What are you talking about that makes you look so happy?" At that moment, Tang Chunhua came in and asked.


    *****


    After the meal was finished with everyone happy, Gu Feng drove everyone back in their car.


    Gu Xia was sitting in the car and smelled the fresh smell in the car. It didn''t take long for them to buy a car, and there was still a new smell. This car was a Volkswagen Touran. It was a bit simr to the Wuling Hongguang in the future, but its configuration was definitely better than the Wuling Hongguang. After all, it cost a lot more.


    "Xia Xia, how is this car? Is it okay?" Gu Feng asked.


    "Yes, this car is big enough to sitfortably." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    After returning home, Gu Xia sat on the sofa and said to Gu Feng, "Dad, do you have any intentions to open a decorationpany?"


    "Hmmwhy are you suddenly asking about this?" Gu Feng, who was drinking water, wondered.


    "Dad, I think although you have invested in the hotel, it is after all not your own business. If you open a decorationpany, then you can be your own boss, and you don''t have to do things by yourself anymore. You can leave it to others. You only need to coordinate the overall situation, so that you can earn more money without having to work so hard yourself.


    Gu Xia continued, Plus, you may have also felt that now, more and more people are buying houses. So when there are more people buying houses, dont all their houses need to be decorated? Therefore, it is safe to open a decorationpany now. And even if it doesnt make much money now, thepany will be there, and its poprity will increase with time. Thepany will be an old local brand! Do you think everyone will choose an old brand or a new brand for decoration?" Gu Xia had already thought about it and analyzed it.


    "I also thought about opening a decorationpany before, but the most important issue is the problem of manpower. It is important to solve the manpower problem in the early stage. Otherwise, even if I start the business, it will be superfluous if I have no skilled workers." Gu Feng pondered for a few minutes and expressed his thoughts.


    "That is not a problem anymore! Dad, you know so many people who do decoration, and they know more people. We can give them more wages in the early stages, and even though thepany will earn less, they will definitely be willing to work for us. "Gu Xia analyzed.


    Gu Feng nodded.


    "Hmm."


    *****


    The next day at dawn, Gu Xia arrived at the university in his father''s car.


    "Dad, go back! Drive carefully." Gu Xia waved at his father in the car.


    "Okay, call me if you want anything." Gu Feng said and drove away.


    At this point, there was still no one on the university campus. After all, it was only seven o''clock. In summer, the sun rose at five o''clock. Gu Xia ran twops in the field, went back to the dormitory to take a shower, went to have breakfast with Liu Shu and the others, and then returned to the dormitory after sses.


    Gu Xia sat on the desk, and kept writing in his notebook. He was writing down some ns to make money. Although he was only a freshman, many things had to be nned in advance, otherwise, although he was reborn, a lot of things would be hard to remember when he needed them.

 Chapter 31: Tu Sisi goes abroad

    Chapter 31: Tu Sisi goes abroad


    For the next few days, Gu Xia spent quietly studying, and nothing serious happened.


    At six o''clock on Friday night, Gu Xia and Liu Shu were ying Dungeon and Warriors in an Inte cafe.


    "Gu Xia, fight seriously, this abyss is really difficult!" Wang Qun shouted.


    "Understood, arent I fighting hard already?" Gu Xia said helplessly.


    "Ding!"


    Gu Xia looked down at his phone, and there was a message. He put down the mouse, picked up the phone and looked at it. It was sent by Wang Qian, and Gu Xia clicked on the message.


    [Gu Xia, Sisi is at the airport now. She is going abroad soon on the 8 o''clock flight. Sisi didn''t want me to tell you, but I secretly went to the toilet and sent you this text message,e quickly!]


    Gu Xia stood up immediately in shock, a long-lost warmth poured into his heart, he immediately pushed away the chair and ran outside.


    "Hey! Gu Xia, were getting killed here, what are you ying? Where are you going!" Wang Qun shouted.


    "Forget it, well fight again if we die! Gu Xia must be in a hurry." Li Wenforted him.


    Gu Xia rushed out of the Inte cafe, saw a taxi parked on the side of the road, and hurried up to it.


    "Where do you want to go?" the driver asked.


    "Airport, please hurry up!" Gu Xia was about to open the taxis door after saying that.


    When he opened the door, Gu Xia was stunned for a moment, because the beautiful Xu Mengying was sitting inside.


    "Is there someone in my car? You should wait for the next one!" said the taxi driver.


    "No, I''ll wait for the next one! Gu Xia, if you are in a hurry, go first." Xu Mengying got out of the car after she finished speaking.


    "Thank you," Gu Xia thanked her gratefully.


    "Go, hurry up! Jiangbei Airport." Gu Xia urged.


    "Okay, sit tight."


    *****


    In the waiting room of Jiangbei Airport, Tang Chunhua embraced Tu Sisi with tears on both of their faces. Tu Jianguo, Tu Fangfang and Wang Qian were standing beside them.


    "Sisi! When you get to the United States, you must take care of yourself. Your dad and I will visit you when we have time. You should listen to the doctor''s words and receive treatment with peace of mind, you understand?" Tang Chunhua felt sad to part with her daughter.


    "Yes, I know Mom, you and Dad should also take care of yourselves. You have already sold the house, and you have to rent a house to live in, woohoo~" Tu Sisi couldn''t help crying into her mother''s arms.


    "Daughter, don''t cry~" After speaking, Tang Chunhua also cried while hugging Tu Sisi.


    "Don''t cry, you two. Why are you crying for so long? We can go abroad to see Sisi in the future, and she''ll be back when she recovers." Tu Jianguo couldn''t stand such a sad sight.


    "Yeah, Mom." Tu Fangfang also said.


    *****


    "Please hurry, uncle!." Gu Xia kept looking at the time and urged the driver.


    "I also want to hurry up! There are so many cars on the road, so how can I drive so fast? What would we do if there is an ident! We''ve been rushing all the way already, just wait until we get on the highway." The taxi driver said helplessly.


    "I''m sorry, uncle, I really want to meet someone very important at the airport. If I''mte, I''ll regret it for the rest of my life." Gu Xia hurriedly apologized and then exined.


    "It looks like you''re having trouble with your girlfriend, and your girlfriend is leaving, right?" The taxi driver said with the expression of someone who had experience.


    Gu Xia touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "Something like that."


    "Young man, don''t be discouraged! Let this uncle teach you. Girls need to be coaxed, first of all, you have to be sweet, when she is upset, buy her something nice, and say something nice. If talking doesnt work. Just kiss her like they do on TV!" The taxi driver gave him free wisdom.


    "Ha ha"


    Gu Xia''s anxiety was somewhat relieved when he heard the words of the taxi driver.


    At 7:30, at the airport, Gu Xia paid the money, got out of the taxi and ran to the waiting room.


    After checking the time from time to time, he finally arrived at the waiting room after 41 minutes.


    Gu Xia looked around. After all, the waiting room was veryrge and there were many people, so it was impossible to find her at a nce.


    Finally, in a corner, he saw Tu Sisi who was saying goodbye to her father. Her eyes were hazy with tears and her expression was not very good.


    Gu Xia immediately ran over there and shouted, "Sisi!"


    Gu Xia''s voice spread throughout the waiting room, and everyone turned to look at him.


    Tu Sisi had said her goodbyes and was about to board the ne. Suddenly she heard a familiar voice calling her, and her body trembled, this was the voice of the person she missed day and night!


    Tu Sisi turned around and looked at the sprinting figure. He had lost a lot of weight, and Tu Sisi''s tears couldn''t help flowing down after she saw that. She wanted to get on the ne without looking back, but she didn''t know why she couldn''t move her feet.


    When Tu Jianguo and others saw Gu Xiaing, they all consciously walked aside and let the two talk.


    "Aren''t you going to speak to me even when you are leaving?" Gu Xia said in a trembling voice.


    "I"


    Even though Tu Sisi had a thousand words to say to the man in front of her, she didn''t know what to say. She hugged Gu Xia hard,y in this familiar embrace, and tried to breathe the smell of his body, because she wouldn''t be able to smell it for a long time in the future.


    "Why didn''t you contact me? Why didn''t you say goodbye? Do you know how much I missed you?" Gu Xia hugged her tightly and let out his feelings.


    "I know, I know it all, I''m the same! But I have this diseaseuh!"


    Before Tu Sisi finished speaking, Gu Xia kissed her.


    The two kissed passionately, as if they wanted to merge their own bodies into each other.


    After a long time.


    The two separated, and Tu Sisi said with a reluctant expression, "I''m leaving."


    "I" Gu Xia wanted to say that he didnt want her to leave, but it would be too selfish, and Tu Sisi was going to treat a disease.


    "I will go there to see you, trust me!" Gu Xia said seriously.


    "Yes, I believe in you." Tu Sisi said with a smile, she was already satisfied to meet Gu Xia before she left.


    "Okay, I''m really leaving, remember toe and see me! If you don''te, I''ll have a blond Chengcheng with a foreigner." Tu Sisijiao said angrily.


    "You dare!" Gu Xia said with a straight face.


    "Okay, go! I will see you again. When I see you, you will see a different me." Gu Xia said softly.


    "Heh! I''m going to get treatment for 5 years, and I''m going to a university there as well. What should I do if I miss you?" Tu Sisi said tenderly.


    Gu Xia thought for a moment, then took off the bracelet on his hand and put it on her. He had it since he was a freshman in high school.


    Gu Xia said, "This is what my mother got for me from the temple, and I always had it with me. Now this is yours. If you miss me, just look at this bracelet."


    "Yes! I''ll take good care of it. I have to go now."


    "Hmm."


    "Mom, dad, sister, Qianqian, goodbye, I''m leaving." Tu Sisi waved.


    "Goodbye!"


    Tu Sisi turned around and got into the ne. When she turned around, tears fell from her eyes, and she secretly said, "Goodbye my family. Goodbye my lover and friends."


    <strong>Authors note:</strong> I have read everyone''sments in the past few days. Many people said that the story was abusive, and some people said that it was not a good read. But what I want to say is that when two people are together, they will definitely not only have sex, but there will also be conflicts. This book has more than 60,000 words written so far, and I basically keep the speed of at least two releases a day. This book can''t meet everyone''s taste, and even the great God cant achieve that, so I can only keep writing. My original intention was to write this book well, so that readers who really like this book can read itfortably.

 Chapter 32: Clubs

    Chapter 32: Clubs


    Gu Xia watched Tu Sisi enter the cabin, his mood was extremelyplicated, and his heart felt a little heavy when he thought that she would be gone for several years.


    Gu Xia secretly said to himself, <em>I have to make money quickly, or I won''t be able to go abroad to see her.</em>


    "Gu Xia, let''s go!" Tu Jianguo sighed and patted his shoulder.


    "Okay, uncle." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    Outside the airport, Tu Jianguo drove out of the parking lot with Tang Chunhua and three people in his car. Gu Xia didn''t get in his car because their destination was not the same way.


    "Gu Xia, I''ll take you there! Otherwise, it will cost a lot of money to take a taxi back." Tu Jianguo asked.


    "No need, uncle, let''s go. If you want to send back Wang Qian and me, then you will basically have to circle the entire Jiangbei City. So I''ll take a taxi by myself, hurry up." Gu Xia said while waving his hand.


    "Alright then! Goodbye." Tu Jianguo nodded.


    Tang Chunhua and Tu Fangfang also nodded to Gu Xia.


    "Gu Xia, let''s go, bye." Wang Qian said with a wave of her hand.


    "Goodbye."


    Gu Xia watched the car drive away and smiled. It was great that he got to see Tu Sisi today!


    By the time Gu Xia took a taxi back to the dormitory, it was almost 10 o''clock. He didn''t eat dinner and felt a little hungry. Unfortunately, there was no takeaway at this time. If there was a takeaway, he could just order takeout.


    <em>Takeout? By the way, I can make a takeaway tform myself!</em> Gu Xia thought excitedly.


    However, he was immediately depressed because he had no money!


    <em>I only have ideas but no technology and no money, how can I do it!</em>


    "Hahh"


    Gu Xia sighed, he still needed money for everything he did in his previous life!


    Gu Xia took a shower and went to the dormitory to ask his roommates, "I''m going out to eat, are you going?"


    "Ah, I''ll go, I just wanted to go for a drink, these two guys are toozy to move." Liu Shu got up and agreed to go with him.


    "Hehe, let''s go, let''s eat something and drink some wine." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Li Wen, why don''t we go too! You will havepany~" Wang Qun asked Li Wen when he heard his words.


    "I cant go with you, I''m going to take a break. In the past few days, we had coding ss every day, which almost blows my head off." Li Wen waved his hand.


    "Okay, then I''ll go." Wang Qun also got up and put on his clothes.


    "The third bro is pretty good at keeping up his appearances." Liu Shu pointed at Wang Qun and pocked fun at him with a smile.


    "Let''s go!" Gu Xia shook his head and said.


    The three came to the night snack shop on the snack street in front of the university.


    Gu Xia ordered some barbecue and a beer, and then the three found a ce to sit down.


    "This university life is not as colorful as people say. Its no different from before. In addition to sses, I just eat and sleep all day." Wang Qunined.


    "That''s because you don''t have a girlfriend, so what do you expect? If you had one, youd be living well, like our fourth bro." Liu Shu nced at him and sneered.


    "You seem to have said the same thing before." Wang Qun also retorted.


    "Okay, stop arguing, drink, drink!" Gu Xia opened the bear bottle and interrupted them.


    "Come on, drink!" Liu Shu stopped and took a sip of wine.


    Hey Gu Xia, Wang Qun, what are you going to do in the future!" Liu Shu asked.


    "Me? I don''t know, anyway, Im going to do what I have to do to earn money, but it''s better to have my own business. It''s too early to talk about this, we are only freshmen, and now we''ll have to learn a lot of things first." Gu Xia took a sip of wine and said.


    "I don''t know either. But, my parents want me to take the civil service exam. They want me to be like them, to have an iron job. What about you, big bro?" Wang Qun said with a wry smile.


    "Me!? I will go back to my hometown to find a job, and I won''t ask for a high sry. As long as I can be closer to my home, so that I can take care of my parents." Liu Shu took a sip of wine and continued, "My family is in a rural town, my parents are both farmers. They have only me as their son at home. If I go to work far away after graduation, I would worry about them. After all, they are also getting old."


    "Lets toast, so that we can realize our own dreams in the future, cheers!" Wang Qun said with a toast.


    "Cheers!!"


    *****


    The three of them didn''t go back to the dormitory until one o''clock in the morning, and fell asleep when they got to the dormitory.


    The next day was Saturday. Gu Xia had no ss on Saturday, but had sses on Sunday, and it was the same for the other two.


    The next day, when the three got up, Li Wen had already gone out, and there was breakfast on the table.


    After Gu Xia had eaten breakfast, he heard some noise outside. He walked to the dormitory window and looked down. When he saw a group of people gathered around below, he couldn''t help asking. "What''s going on down there? Why is it so lively?"


    "It seems that the clubs are looking for members! Li Wen said yesterday that he was going to apply for the club today. Let''s go down and see." Wang Qun walked over and said.


    "As for info on the clubs, I seem to have seen it in the university notice board. There are several clubs such as taekwondo clubs, calligraphy clubs, painting clubs, etc." Liu Shu also gave extra information.


    "Oh." Gu Xia nodded, he didn''t go to the notice board, and he didn''t ask anyone, so he didn''t know this.


    In fact, the university students today liked to browse the Tieba forum to learn about thetest news of the university.


    Only people like Gu Xia who didnt go to the Tieba forum and Weibo in their previous life did not know this. He only yed games on theputer and on his mobile phone.


    "Let''s go then! Let''s take a look and join one if there is a suitable one." Gu Xia said enthusiastically.


    "Do you think a club is something you can join as you wish? They have requirements and the applicants need to be assessed." Liu Shu nced at him and said.


    "There are still requirements and assessments?" Gu Xia deliberately acted surprised.


    "Of course, each club has different requirements. The more popr the club, the higher their requirements. If there are no requirements, then everyone could enter, so wouldnt that be no different than a vegetable market?" Liu Shuughed.


    "Okay, let''s go and have a look." Wang Qun said while spraying hairspray on his head.


    "You bastard, you keep spraying that every day, and make this room smell bad." Liu Shuined while looking at the stinky Wang Qun.


    "Hehe~ You think I don''t know who used my hairspray two days ago?" Wang Qun nced at him and mocked.


    Gu Xia patted his forehead. He felt really helpless in front of these two guys. They really had to bicker every day.


    "You guys continue to talk, I''ll go first." Gu Xia left the dormitory door after speaking, he didn''t want to hear these two guys bickering anymore.


    "Wait for me!!"


    Wang Qun and Liu Shu shouted from behind.


    Gu Xia walked to the leisure area of the dormitory building. It was rtively empty. Many students put their quilts on the grass here to bask in the sun. Some people were already basking in the sun.


    More than a dozen clubs had set up booths, each booth had tables in front of them, and each table had a person sitting behind it. The tables were full of people.


    Gu Xia looked at the introduction on the table which said that you needed to learn Go to join the group. Gu Xia shook his head. He had never learned Go, and he was not interested in this thing.


    Gu Xia watched several clubs one after another, but he didn''t see the club he wanted to join, plus there were too many people, so he couldn''t read them all as carefully. So hey down on the bench under the tree to rest.


    After a while, Gu Xia fell asleep.

 Chapter 33: Adoptive grandfather

    Chapter 33: Adoptive grandfather


    [Note: The author decided to change the plot that had previously developed from chapters 33 to 36. I guess it got too serious and dramatic for a slice of life story. So he decided to scrap it all and start with a new development from chapter 33 again. I will be deleting the previous chapters as well.]


    "Hey! wake up."


    Gu Xia was woken up by an elderly voice, he opened his eyes, and saw an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a washed-white tunic. The man was pping him on his cheek to wake him.


    "Young man, why did you fall asleep here?" The old man asked.


    "Hello, elder. I was just thinking about whether there is a suitable club, and I wanted to join one, but after looking at a few, I didn''t see a suitable one, plus there were too many people here, so I came here to rest and fell asleep here." Gu Xia rubbed his eyes, and said with a wry smile.


    "Elder, what is your name?"


    "Haha. My surname is Xu, you can just call me Grandpa Xu." The old man smiled. After he finished speaking, he sat beside Gu Xia and said with a smile, "So what type of club do you want to join? There are so many clubs in this university. Is there any that you like? You should understand that the club will also be of great help to you, especially the people in it. If you can create enough connections, the club will also be a great boost to your career. "


    "Well I haven''t really thought about all that, I just want to join a club that I''m interested in. A club that will be of some help with expanding my horizons in the future." Gu Xia thought about it and pondered.


    "In that case, I suggest that you join the Literature Club. As one of thergest clubs in Jiangbei University, the Literature Club includes talents from various departments. You can join in and meet some like-minded friends. The Literature Club is a great ce for acquiring knowledge. It can make people progress quickly, after all, there are some truly knowledgeable people in it." Grandpa Xu analyzed.


    "A literary club?"


    Gu Xia thought about it for a while. Literary Clubs were, to put it bluntly, a club where knowledge was explored. There were all kinds of people in it, so it was a good choice for him.


    "How about it? Did you make a decision?" Grandpa Xuughed.


    "Grandpa Xu, I have listened to your suggestion, but I still have to think about it and take a look." Gu Xia smiled.


    "It''s good that you want to think about it. Young people should think clearly about what they do, otherwise they will easily suffer." Grandpa Xu said with a smile and nodded.


    "Hehe, didn''t you older generations say that suffering is a blessing?"


    "That''s bullshit! Who wants to suffer? If young people lose too much, they lose their indomitable spirit. If young people be old-fashioned, then how are they different from us old guys?" Grandpa Xu sneered. .


    "Young people must have a spirit of never admitting defeat, and dare to try new things no matter what. It''s not a bad thing to fail. What''s truly bad is not being able to stand back up when they fail. They don''t even know where they failed!"


    "What Grandpa Xu said is very reasonable, this Gu Xia has learned a lot." Gu Xia thanked him seriously.


    "Heh speaking of learning, it''s rare that someone is willing to listen to an old man like me, I have to thank you. Thank you for your willingness to speak with me, this poor old man."


    "I was very happy chatting with Grandpa Xu, and I learned a lot. In the future, if Grandpa Xu wants to talk to someone, you can call me, and I wille to listen to your teaching at any time." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Haha. Thats good, well then, this old man is really happy today! So, Gu Xia, how about I recognize you as my adoptive grandson? It''s good if you want to, and it''s fine if you don''t want to, we''ll still chat." Grandpa Xu said with a smile.


    "Grandfather"


    Gu Xia heard his words and stood up, bowed to Grandpa Xu, and then spoke respectfully.


    Even if he didn''t recognize him as an adoptive grandfather, by Grandpa Xu''s age, it was not an exaggeration to call him Grandpa!


    "Haha~ Good, good grandson, good!"


    "I can''t believe that even though this old man''s son and grandson are not by his side, now I have a good grandson by my side. God treats me Xu Tianxiang, very well!"


    "Grandpa, aren''t your sons and grandchildren here? How can they rest assured knowing that you are here alone?" Gu Xia asked.


    "Theythey cant apany this old man here. They are very busy all day long, and they all are living a good life in the capital. Theye here once a year to visit me." Xu Tianxiang sighed with some sadness.


    Gu Xia heard his words, and couldn''t help but think about some things from his previous life. Back then, he was busy earning money every day, and he also rarely visited his parents.


    Not to mention that Grandpa Xu''s son and grandson were far away in the capital. It was so far away from here, and living in that ce must be very busy and hectic.


    But no matter how busy you are, you should always visit your parents!


    "Never wait to care for one''s parents"


    This sentence makes a lot of sense only after the death of ones parents, but when your parents are gone, what is the use of understanding this sentence?


    So it is important to take advantage of the parents being alive. You have to be more filial and visit them more often!


    Money was endless, but your parents were getting older every day.


    "Grandpa, don''t you still have this grandson? In the future, I''ll go to your ce to eat and drink when I have nothing to do. Don''t think I''m annoying." Gu Xia joked.


    "Haha~ Come if you want to, this old man doesn''t have anything else, just a lot of wine and rice."


    "Why not go right now? It''s almost noon, soe to my ce to eat with me. Let us two grandfather and grandson have some drinks." Xu Tianxiang said happily.


    "Okay."


    The two walked all the way while talking andughing, they looked quite like a grandfather and grandson, not at all like people who just met.


    The world was really full of mysteries.


    What Gu Xia didn''t know was that, by just recognizing an adoptive grandfather, he woulde across an opportunity of a lifetime. Of course, this was something to talk about in the future.


    Gu Xia followed Xu Tianxiang all the way to the teachers'' dormitory.


    Gu Xia smiled. Sure enough, Grandpa Xu was a teacher at Jiangbei University. Otherwise, how could an old man just appear inside the university and behave and talk like an intellectual?


    It was just that Grandpa Xu was very old, so why hasn''t he retired yet?


    He had to just wait and askter!


    The teachers'' dormitory was different from the student''s dormitory. The teacher''s dormitory wasposed of separate houses. Each house was not that big, but it was enough for a family to livefortably. This was also one of the benefits of Jiangbei University. The welfare of the teachers had been improved, so that they could have their own independent rest environment. If they lived together like it was in the student dormitory, the teachers who were married and had children, would definitely find it inconvenient.


    Xu Tianxiang opened the door, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit wherever you like, just think of it as your own home."


    After saying that, he went inside the room.


    Gu Xia looked at the interior. The interior of this house was very simple, with only some basic living furniture, but what attracted Gu Xia most was a set of military uniforms hanging on one side of the wall. It was washed clean, there were many patches on it, but the most shocking thing was the medals hanging on the chest.


    There were dozens of medals densely packed together, and Gu Xia looked at it with deep and heartfelt respect. <em>I didn''t think that Grandpa Xu was also an old soldier, a veteran from the Second Sino-Japanese War!</em>(G: It was a military conflict (19371945) that was primarily waged between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan.)


    The reason theter generation could have their current peaceful life was all because of people like Grandpa Xu who fought with their lives. Each medal represented a battle of life and death again and again, and each patch represented the pain of being hit by a bullet!


    Xu Tianxiang walked out of the room, holding a cup in his hand. After he saw Gu Xia staring straight at his military uniform with a solemn and yearning expression, he couldn''t help smiling. He really did not judge wrongly. A person who could look at a military uniform for so long, with a face of longing and respect could never be a bad person. It seemed that he had to pave the way for this adoptive grandson, otherwise he would have let the young man call him adoptive grandfather in vain.


    "Hahaha. Don''t look at it so much, it''s just a military uniform that is about to rot, what is there to see,e here and drink tea." Xu Tianxiangughed.


    "In my eyes, this is not just a military uniform, but your honor, Grandpa, a feat worthy of staying in the descendants'' memory forever." Gu Xia said solemnly.


    "Okay, lets stop talking about that. Let''s go, apany this old man to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden. Ill let you have a taste of my craft today."


    Xu Tianxiang''s face was full of pride when he heard what Gu Xia said. This was also an indelible fact, It''s just that his descendants didnt care a lot about it.


    "Okay, I''m going to see what grandpa has grown. I''ll do the cooking. There''s no reason for grandpa to cook for his grandson." Gu Xia nodded and said.


    The grandfather and grandson picked some vegetables in the vegetable garden, and Gu Xia cut some bacon, and quickly cooked three dishes and brought them out.


    "I didn''t expect you to be able to cook. It tastes good. In the future, you shoulde to eat with me every day, and cook for me, haha" Xu Tianxiangughed.


    "If grandpa really wants, then I will cook for you every day." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    Xu Tianxiang took out a bottle of Maotai from the cab. Gu Xia had never seen this kind of Maotai before. He guessed that it was a high-end product. (G: Maotai or Moutai is a style of baijiu, a distilled Chinese liquor, made in the town of Maotai in China''s Guizhou province.)


    "Come on, let us grandfather and grandson have two sses of this wine! They buy me cigarettes and wine every time theye back to visit. I didn''t want to drink it so I just put it away. Im feeling quite happy today, so let''s drink."


    Gu Xia knew that they must be his children and grandchildren. It seemed that grandfather was really very lonely! There wasnt even anyone to apany him for a drink.

 Chapter 35: I love you

    Chapter 35: I love you


    [Warning! This chapter contains extra dose of sugar!]


    In the famous Hilton Hotel in New York, Tu Sisi and Hu Chao were sitting at the dining table. There were stacks of exquisite food on the dining table, including foie gras, steak and other famous food in western restaurants. And, there was also a bottle of Lafite.


    Tu Sisi looked at the western food and the red wine in the ss in front of her, which practically screamed vanity. <em>I really underestimated the life of the rich.</em> Tu Sisi said to herself.


    "Come on, Sisi." Hu Chao raised his ss with a smile.


    Tu Sisi raised the ss, nodded, and took a sip of wine.


    "Sisi! Is there any ce you want to go see? I''ll take you there tomorrow!" Hu Chaoughed.


    "No, I''m here to treat a disease, not to travel." Tu Sisi said expressionlessly.


    "That''s right! Then I''ll take you to Professor Smith''s ce tomorrow! I happen to have something to talk about with Professor Smith too." Hu Chao shrugged and smiled.


    "Hu Chao, you should go back! Don''t waste your time with me, you should be studying hard, not wasting your precious time here."


    "Study? I''ve transferred to New York. Both of us are in the same school, in the same ss."


    Tu Sisi, ""


    Tu Sisi really wanted to use the military boxing her father taught her to give him a beating, why does this guy want to be so badly beaten?


    *****


    After Gu Xia vomited out his insides, he fell asleep on the grass under a tree.


    Apparently Gu Xia would have to spend his afternoon in his sleep again. Now, he slept all morning and slept again in the afternoon.


    When he woke up, it was already 7 o''clock in the evening, Gu Xia rubbed his eyes, it was already getting dark, so he stood up.


    "Plop!"


    Because of his sleeping posture, the blood cirction of his feet was not smooth, and he fell to the ground as soon as he tried to get up, as legs were weak.


    Gu Xia rubbed his numb thighs and smiled bitterly.


    It really was as it said in an advertisement of a certain wine, "Although the wine is good, don''t be greedy."


    Gu Xia dragged his tired body back to the dormitory. There was no one in the dormitory. They probably all went out to y around.


    Gu Xia took a bath and felt much better. He took out his mobile phone and found that Tu Sisi had called him in the afternoon, but he had no recollection of it at all. He must have been drunk, so he immediately dialed Tu Sisis number.


    Tu Sisi had just gone to bed not long ago. She had gotten off the ne in the middle of the night. She had just finished eating, and it was now 4:00 a.m. on New York''s side.


    The phones ringing woke her up, and Tu Sisi took the phone sleepily and pressed the answer button.


    [Hello who is it?]


    "Sisi, its me! You went to bed so early? Have you arrived in the United States?"


    It did not ur to Gu Xia that Tu Sisi would be actually sleeping.


    "You idiot, it''s really early in the morning here!" Tu Sisi scolded helplessly.


    "Uh I forgot, I saw that you called me, so I called you back."


    [You were drunk again, don''t you know how to drink less? Is wine so good? You didn''t drink enough in your previous life, and you are still drinking it now. You are a university student now, and you are still getting yourself drunk. You really dont change.] Tu Sisi keptining.


    Gu Xia touched his nose when he heard herints. He often returned home drunk in his previous life, which caused a lot of trouble to Tu Sisi, so much so that her resentment was this deep.


    "I promise, Ill try not to get drunk in the future! But I really had no choice but to be drunk today!"


    [Why was there no choice? Do you want to say that you and your dormitory roommates were too happy and drank too much, or was it a friend''s birthday?]


    Hearing Tu Sisi repeating the excuses he had made in his previous life, Gu Xia really couldn''t helpughing.


    "It''s like this, I made an adoptive grandfather at the university this morning, then went to his house for dinner. I saw the military uniforms and medals in his home, and then listened to grandfather''s stories about the Sino-Japanese War. You also know that I like watching TV and movies about the Sino-Japanese War, and I am interested in this aspect of things, so I was very happy? Its okay to drink if someone is happy, right? So I ended up drinking too much."


    After Tu Sisi quietly listened to Gu Xia''s words, her face became much gentler. Of course, she knew that Gu Xia liked these military and war-rted things. In her previous life, he often drank with her father when they got married, and pestered him to tell stories about his days as a soldier. The two of them often became drunk, and they hugged each other as brothers in arms.


    Thinking of what happened in the past, Tu Sisi couldn''t helpughing bitterly. At that time, Gu Xia also dragged her to say that he would go to the army and told her to wait for him at home, and also said that she was not allowed to cheat or something.


    After listening to a lot of his nonsense, Tu Sisi became angry and punched him twice.


    [Then you have to treat that adoptive grandfather well. When I go back, you have to take me to see grandfather.]


    "Okay, when youe back, I will take his granddaughter-inw to see the grandfather. He will surely be very happy, but before you go to meet my adoptive grandfather, you have to go with me to see my parents, as well as my grandparents in the countryside. I want to let my dad meet his daughter-inw from his previous life, haha"


    [Hateful!]


    [Hmmokay.]


    Tu Sisijiao snorted, and then replied softly.


    Tu Sisi touched her face, <em>Um~ I feel a little shy, how could this be?</em>


    Havent I already seen them in my previous life?


    Is it because it would be the first time we are going to meet each other?


    Am I nervous?


    Well, it must be that


    Tu Sisiforted herself.


    "I still can''t get used to this. Where are you staying now? Is it a hotel?" Gu Xia asked.


    [Hotel? I''m staying at the Hilton Hotel! Not a in hotel on the street." Tu Sisiughed]


    "Fu*k! Hilton, how much money did my father-inw give you! You are so extravagant, living in Hilton!" Gu Xia eximed.


    Tu Sisi was thinking about whether to tell Gu Xia about Hu Chao being here too. If she told him, this guy would probably be very jealous!


    <em>Hehe~</em>


    <em>Well~ let''s tell him!</em>


    Shouldn''t the husband and wife be honest with each other?


    Besides, she has nothing to do with Hu Chao, so what was she afraid of?


    [Oh! That''s right, Hu Chao is here too, the hotel was arranged by him, and he also transferred here toe to the same school as me.] Tu Sisi said softly.


    "How can that disgusting thing Hu Chao be the same as in our previous life, why does it make me so unhappy? You should just ignore him, wait for me When I''m on vacation, I''ll fly to see you, and then I''ll have to scold him. That guy made me very unhappy in our past life, and he still makes me unhappy now. "Gu Xia didn''t doubt Tu Sisi. After all, she didn''t ept Hu Chao in her previous life, and the two of them had been married for several years, so they had an emotional foundation.


    [Hehe~]


    Tu Sisi smiled She knew Gu Xia would react like this.


    [Okay, I''ll help you scold him at that time. Remember to visit me during the holidays! But you have to have money toe here!]


    "I will find a way! Anyway, I will visit you during the winter vacation, and I still want to go to bed with you. We haven''t rolled the sheets in ten years."


    It was indeed ten years. The two had returned to ten years in the past, so didnt that count as ten years?


    [Annoying~ All you want is to do that every day.]


    Tu Sisi said while blushing.


    [Gu Xia, it''s nice to wear this bracelet, it''s like you''re by my side.] Tu Sisi whispered while touching the bracelet on her wrist.


    Although this bracelet was just a red rope with a few beads, it was very simple, but it represented her Gu Xia!


    "Okay, go to sleep now"


    [Hmm] Tu Sisi responded.


    [Gu Xia, I want to hear you say those three words, can you tell me.] Tu Sisi suddenly said.


    Gu Xia heard her words, touched his nose, and felt a little embarrassed. He was an old man with a wife.


    [Come on, say it~]


    "Sisi, I love you, I love you"


    Gu Xia said more than a dozen strings of I love you in one breath, and heughed at himself after saying that. He secretly asked himself, <em>What is wrong with me? Isn''t it just saying I love you? It''s not like I didn''t say it in the past</em>


    [I love you too~]


    Gu Xia smiled when he heard the voice from Tu Sisi on the opposite side.


    How blissful!

 Chapter 36: Opportunity

    Chapter 36: Opportunity


    "Du du du"


    Gu Xia smiled when he heard the beeping sound of hanging up from the phone.


    Today was really a good day!


    "I love you, I love you, I love you"


    "Oh, I got goosebumps all over my body"


    Gu Xia looked back in shock, only to see Wang Qun and Liu Shu looking at him with lewd smiles.


    Gu Xia shook his head with a wry smile, these guys had heard everything he just said.


    "Third bro, be lenient when confessing, and be strict when resisting. Tell me, where is the girl you hooked up with?" Wang Qun said with a smile, rubbing his hands together.


    His expression seemed like a customer who just did the deed with a pro*titute, and was putting on his pants with satisfaction.


    "What is this thing about hooking up? What we have is true love! Do you understand? Its true love!" Gu Xia stood up with a smile and said righteously.


    "Cheh! True love, who didn''t say it was true love when chasing a girl?" Wang Qun pouted.


    "Third bro, ask your girlfriend to introduce one of her friends to me. If it goes well, I''ll treat you to a meal for a week, no, a month, how about it?" Liu Shu said with some distress, but when he thought about the girl, those meals and the cost seemed to be worth it.


    "I say Big bro, can you be a little bit more dignified, and why do you need Third bros girlfriend to introduce you to a girl? Go get one yourself!" Wang Qun sneered.


    "Haha" Liu Shu sneered.


    "Why didn''t I see you get one? Every day you talk about getting this and that, but none of them pays any attention to you." Liu Shu continued his attack.


    "Youit''s because they have eyes, but are unable to see gold iid jade." Wang Qun defended with a flushed face.


    "Haha" Liu Shu didn''t refute, he also just sneered.


    Gu Xia looked at these two living treasures, who would attack each other every time within three minutes they met .


    "Okay, stop arguing, my girlfriend is not in the country, so I can''t help you."


    Gu Xia spread his hands and said that he couldn''t help. Tu Sisi was really not here, so she couldn''t introduce anyone. Besides, the only one of Sisi''s friends he knew was Wang Qian, and Wang Qian and Li Sicheng were going strong right now. He was not that familiar with the others, and he had only met them once in his previous life.


    "Heh. Look at you being happy" Wang Qun pouted.


    "Hehe, if you really want to fall in love, you can''t just go castings everywhere. If you like one, just go pursue her. If you pursue her with your heart, you will always have a chance to get the girl you like." Gu Xia said to Wang Qun.


    "Hey! That''s what I thought too, but it''s so hard to pursue them!" Wang Qun sighed.


    "Why don''t you stop worrying about getting a girlfriend. Why are you sighing? Maybe you just don''t have fate, and maybe youll get there one day." Gu Xiaforted him .


    "Yes, I don''t want to think about it anymore, let''s go and have a drink." Liu Shu nodded and said.


    When Gu Xia heard the word "drink", his legs softened, he had just sobered up after drinking, and his mouth was still full of the smell of wine.


    He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "You guys go, I''m not going, I drank too much at noon, and shes still a little angry at me now."


    "Okay, let''s go, let us poor brothers who don''t have girlfriends go have a drink."


    Wang Qun hooked Liu Shu''s shoulder and said withment.


    Gu Xia looked at the two people who walked out shoulder to shoulder, and became speechless for a moment. Just now, they were bickering as if they were about to fight, and now they were going to drink like brothers. These two guys were really


    Gu Xia took a shower, and then went out to go to his adoptive grandfather''s ce. The old man lived alone, and it was unknown if he was sober or not.


    In the teachers quarter, Xu Tianxiang''s house, Gu Xia knocked on the door.


    "Squeak!"


    Xu Tianxiang opened the door, he still seemed a little sleepy, maybe he just woke up.


    "Grandpa, you haven''t eaten yet! You go sit down, I''ll cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat. It just so happened that I didn''t eat either. Us grandfather and grandson should eat together."


    As soon as he said it, Gu Xia washed the pots and bowls from noon in the kitchen, and then took out a tomato and two eggs from the refrigerator. He was going to cook the tomato egg noodles.


    Xu Tianxiang looked at Gu Xia who was getting busy in the kitchen,


    He felt thefort of being with a kin.


    Ten minutester.


    Gu Xia came out with two bowls of hot noodles.


    "Come, eat while it''s hot, grandpa." Gu Xia handed Xu Tianxiang the chopsticks.


    "Well! It''s very fragrant! I just woke up and after eating this food, my stomach feels much better."


    "You can eat more if you think it''s delicious, there''s still more in the pot." Gu Xia smiled.


    After eating, Gu Xia cleaned up the tableware.


    "Come here, Gu Xia, sit down and lets have a talk." Xu Tianxiang pointed at the sofa and said.


    "Gu Xia. What do you n to do in the future?"


    Gu Xia thought about it for a moment and said, "I n to start a business."


    "Oh! Starting a business? Why do you have such an idea? Have you ever thought about taking the civil service exam and entering the system? If you have such ns, this old man still has some face, so I can help you." Xu Tianxiang pondered.


    "The system is not suitable for me as a person! I am rather dull, and I don''t like that kind ofplex life. I would like to do something I like and earn more money to live a better life." Gu Xia touched his nose, and said with a wry smile.


    Of course, he knew what his adoptive grandpa meant. He wanted him to enter the bureaucratic system. He was an old revolutionary and naturally knew many people in the political world, but Gu Xia really didn''t like that kind of work that was full of restraints and intrigue.


    And Tu Sisi definitely wouldn''t like it if he entered the bureaucratic system.


    Gu Xia liked jobs where he could be free. Where he could earn money, he could do his own business, and care about no one. When he earned enough money, he nned to travel everywhere with his parents and Sisi.


    "Thats good! Everyone has their own aspirations, and doing business is a good choice. But do you have any ideas for the future? Are you nning to join apany or start from the grassroots level?" Xu Tianxiang nodded and then enquired.


    "I have an idea, but I am stillcking something." Gu Xia smiled bitterly.


    "What''s wrong? Let me hear it."


    "Its money"


    Gu Xia said, embarrassed.


    Xu Tianxiang couldn''t help but be stunned when he heard the words, it turned out that this guy wascking money! That''s right, looking at Gu Xia''s clothes, it was quite obvious that he came from an average family.


    "Lets do it like this. My grandchildren wille over in two days. My grandson is doing some business in the capital, and it seems to be quite big. When the timees, I will ask you toe over. You can talk to him. If possible, I will ask him to invest money in your n, and you can boldly go forward." Xu Tianxiang said after thinking for a while.


    "Thank you grandpa."


    Gu Xia did not act modest, and he really needed a springboard to realize his ideas.


    Moreover, although Grandpa Xu said that he would talk to his grandson, but he was actually helping him. His words would definitely y a big role at that time. Otherwise, why would he ask him toe over when his grandchildren came to visit him?


    "You don''t have to say thank you, since you called me grandpa, this grandpa naturally wants to help you. There''s nothing I can do if you can''t help yourself. You are the one who will be doing the talking when the timees, and I will just y a small role. If you cant make him interested, then I will have no say in this either." Xu Tianxiang waved his hand.


    "Don''t worry, Grandpa, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Gu Xia solemnly assured him.


    "Good well, it''s not too early, go back to sleep!"


    "Okay, goodbye grandpa!"


    Gu Xia returned to the dormitory and thought about which idea to pitch?


    Should he choose takeaway service?


    Or vehicles for hire? (G: like ub*er)


    Both of these industries were very sessful in his past life!

 Chapter 37: Illness

    Chapter 37: Illness


    Gu Xia leaned on the bed, thinking about the sudden rise of the giantpanies in his previous life.


    Fortunately, Liu Shu and the other two went to drink and hadn''te back. Li Wen went to apany his girlfriend as usual and would probablye backte.


    Wang Qunined every day that Li Wen was very likely going to die on a woman''s belly.


    No one was arguing here, and Gu Xia could think clearly in peace, but he couldn''t think of anything more profitable. After all, as a salesman in his previous life, he only knew some things that everyone else knew.


    Feeling distressed, Gu Xia thought, "Forget it, let''s go with the two projects of takeaway and vehicles for hire! The others are really unpredictable."


    Gu Xia took out a pen and paper, and started writing down what he knew about takeaway and vehicles for hire into two ns in a notebook.


    But for Gu Xia, what he was most afraid of was writing this kind of report.


    In his past life, he often had to write a month-end summary report for hispany at the end of each month, Gu Xia always felt very distressed about that. His writing was average and he couldn''t always write what he wanted to express. (Authors PS: Just like me, my writing is not good, and I can''t always express my meaning.)


    <em>Hey! I can ask Sisi to write this for me!</em>


    Tu Sisi studied journalism in university, and her writing was top-notch. In his previous life, Gu Xia often asked Tu Sisi to help him write reports.


    Gu Xia dialed Tu Sisi''s number.


    "Hey, Sisi, get up! There''s aputer in your room! Can you help me type information about food delivery and vehicles for hire from our previous life on theputer, and then send a copy of it to my QQ mailbox?" Gu Xia said in a hurry.


    [Why do you need that?] Tu Sisi askedzily just after taking a shower.


    "Wellit''s like this"


    Gu Xia told Tu Sisi about his talk with Grandpa Xu.


    [Oh, that''s what it is! Good, I''ll write it for youter, you have to thank your grandfather well, you understand?]


    "I know, I know."


    "Alright, just wait a minute, I''ll write it down and send it to you." After Tu Sisi finished speaking, she hung up the phone, then turned on theputer in the room. She thought about takeaways and vehicles for hire, and kept typing on the keyboard.


    She suddenlyughed as she remembered that in her previous life Gu Xia often begged hers to write a summary report for him at the end of the month. At that time, he always rushed to bring back Chengcheng and asked her to write it for him.


    <em>Chengcheng?</em>


    <em>Yes!</em>


    <em>What about my Chengcheng?</em>


    Tu Sisi''s body trembled while sitting in front of theputer, then she got up and shouted, "ChengchengChengcheng"


    She rummaged around in the room like crazy, whether it was the toilet, the wardrobe, or even under the bed, but she still didn''t see her son. So Tu Sisi dialed Gu Xia''s number and asked, [Gu Xia, did you take Chengcheng out to y?]


    Gu Xia, who was wondering when Tu Sisi called himself again, sat up from the bed in a hurry.


    <em>Sisis illness is acting up again?</em>


    Gu Xia calmed down, he couldn''t be in a hurry, he must not panic! He wasnt beside Sisi, so he had tofort her and stabilize her.


    "Sisi, I brought Chengcheng to my parents'' house. They said they hadn''t seen Chengcheng for a long time, so I brought Chengcheng here." Gu Xia said softly.


    [Oh, then remember to bring him backter, and you are not allowed to drink and drive, you understand? Be sure to take good care of Chengcheng.]


    "Hmm don''t worry, it''s veryte, you should go to sleep. When you wake up, I''ll bring our little darling back to you." Gu Xiaforted her softly.


    Gu Xia remembered the events when he was in Mount Tai, the doctor said that she could not be too emotional, so now he could only coax her to stabilize her first, and calm her down. It was best for her to sleep.


    The reason for her illness was that she missed their son too much. It was fine when she didn''t think about him, but if she thought too deeply, she would get sick.


    <em>It''s a pity I''m not by her side, shes too far away.</em>


    [Oh~ but I can''t sleep.] Tu Sisi frowned.


    "I sing a song for you. Don''t you like to hear me sing the most when you can''t sleep? You fall asleep as soon as I sing. "Gu Xiaughed softly.


    [Goodthen you can sing a song for me! When I wake up, you have to bring Chengcheng to see me.]


    "Uh-huh"


    "Your mood is always rushing


    To chase after everything


    Gu Xia sang Tu Sisi''s favorite song. He still remembered that after she gave birth to their son, she was a little depressed and couldn''t sleep all night. At that time, he sang this song to her everyday. And, every time she would fall asleep like a child.


    Holding the phone, Tu Sisi listened to the familiar voice and a familiar song. Her expression softened, a smile appeared on her face, and then she calmly fell asleep.


    Who do you think of when youre alone


    Do you want to find someone to apany you?


    Gu Xia sang over and over again, and tears streamed down his cheeks as he sang.


    He felt sad! Why did God give her this disease!


    Hearing the faint snoreing from the phone, Gu Xia knew that she had fallen asleep, so he hung up the phone with a smile on his face.


    She was still the same as before.


    She still falls asleep listening to his singing.


    Gu Xia picked up the pen and paper again, and started to write. Sisi fell asleep, so he had to write the report himself!


    Gu Xia scribbled on the notebook. He wrote the n as detailed and clear as possible.


    "Gu Xia, you are the only one here!" Li Wen walked in with hisptop and said.


    "Heh you bought aputer?" Gu Xia saw him holding theputer, and asked.


    "Yup! There was no other way, the programming and data taught by the teacher was too difficult. Sometimes I can''t understand it, so I can only buy aputer and let Yiyi teach me. She is better than me at learning this stuff, so I can onlye back to the dormitory veryte every day during this period." Li Wenughed.


    Gu Xia knew that Yiyi was the name of Li Wen''s girlfriend and she was also a Computer Science student. Thest time he had met her outside of university, she was not that tall and looked very innocent and cute.


    "Ha ha"


    Gu Xia smiled, then put the notebook away, and got ready to sleep.


    "Hey~ By the way, Gu Xia. Yiyi said that we should introduce you to a girl and so we have to meet them at the yground after ss tomorrow." Li Wen suddenly said.


    "I''ve seen that girl, she''s pretty good, and she''s very beautiful. She also watched the video of you singing during the military training party and was a little interested in you, so she agreed to meet you."


    Gu Xia smiled bitterly when he heard his words. He already had Tu Sisi, so why would he meet another girl?


    So he waved his hand and said, "I don''t want to fall in love for the time being, so I won''t go. You help me tell Yiyi and say I thank her for her kindness, but I don''t want to fall in love yet."


    "How can that be? Yiyi has told the people in her dormitory that you will definitely go. If you don''t go, wont she lose face!


    Yiyi also invited the other two roommates in her dormitory, and asked me to call Liu Shu and Wang Qun to see if they could hit it off. So whether it is for Yiyi''s face or the happiness of Liu Shu and Wang Qun, you must go. "


    Gu Xia smiled bitterly again, it was what it was, and it''d be bad if he didnt go.


    "Alright, alright"


    Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

 Chapter 38: Man with a wife

    Chapter 38: Man with a wife


    The next day. After the afternoon ss.


    Gu Xia was called out of the ssroom by Li Wen.


    Excited Liu Shu and Wang Qun stood at the door. Both of them were wearing new clothes and their hair wasbed. You didn''t need to look to know that they had used a lot of hair gel.


    "Let''s go"


    Gu Xia said helplessly.


    "Third bro. Don''t you need to change your clothes and take care of your hair? What would they think of you if they saw you like this?" Wang Qun asked.


    Gu Xia looked at what he was wearinga white shirt on the upper body, jeans and sneakers on the lower body, it was alright.


    As for his hair?


    He had his hair cut at home on National Day, and he washed his hair every day.


    And it was all appropriate for a respectable youth!


    Gu Xia had already made it clear that he was justing along because he had to, and he only had his Sisi in his heart!


    Gu Xia sighed in his heart, <em>s~ being so charming is also a sin, it''s all my fault</em>


    "No, it''s good enough, and it''s toote already. We made an appointment to meet at the yground at five o''clock in the afternoon. Let''s get to know each other and go to eat hot pot." Li Wen looked at the time and said.


    "let''s go"


    *****


    When they reached the yground they faced quite the spectacle.


    There was a group of people ying basketball on the field, and a group of people were watching, and many girls were shouting.


    "Huang Xuan really cheers"


    "Huang Xuan really fills his hat"


    "Huang Xuanzhen, I love you so much"


    ".."


    Gu Xia heard the screams of these girls, smiled, and followed their gaze. There he saw a handsome boy who was about 1.85 meters (6 foot) tall. Sure enough, whether it was on TV or in novels, ying basketball was very popr with girls.


    "Who is this? So popr?" Wang Qun said with some resentment.


    "He is a sophomore student, his name is Huang Xuanzhen, and he is the main force of our university basketball team. Last year, when our University and another University yed a game, he helped the University win the game by turning the tide, so he has the current poprity." Li Wenughed.


    "Let''s go, it''s none of our business what they do."


    When they got to the edge of the yground, they saw four girls standing there, all watching the game, pointing at the field and saying something.


    "Yiyi~"


    Li Wen waved and shouted.


    "You are here~"


    Gu Xia looked over and saw that in addition to Yiyi, the other three girls were standing beside her.


    "Hee hee~"


    As Gu Xia approached, he heard the whispering andughter of the girls, their eyes were looking at them, and Gu Xia felt ufortable all over.


    "These are my roommates. This is Liu Shu, Wang Qun, and Gu Xia."


    Li Wen pointed at Gu Xia and the other three for an introduction.


    "Hello, nice to meet you~"


    A girl with freckles on her face waved and smiled.


    "Hello, nice to meet you~"


    Wang Qun said with a smile.


    Gu Xia and Liu Shu both nodded and said hello.


    "Gu Xia, the girl on Sisi''s left is the one I want to introduce to you, how is she?" Li Wen whispered in Gu Xia''s ear.


    "Not bad"


    Gu Xia looked at the girl, who was very delicate and beautiful. Seeing Gu Xia looking at her, the girl also looked at him. Gu Xia saw her raising her eyebrows at him, like a provocation, and couldn''t help but be speechless.


    <em>How was this girl so daring? Shouldn''t you shyly look down? And why are you raising your eyebrows, are you teasing me?</em>


    Gu Xia had a feeling that he was being harassed by the opposite gender, and felt very ufortable.


    "This is Huang Qin and Li Feifei from my dormitory, and this is Han Jing. "


    Li Wen''s girlfriend, Yiyi also introduced her roommates.


    The one who just raised her eyebrows at Gu Xia was called Han Jing, <em>Han Jing? How is she polite?</em>(G: Han Jing means polite.)


    "Your name is Feifei, right? I''m Wang Qun." Wang Qun ran to Li Feifei, who was the freckled girl from before.


    "Li Wen."


    Gu Xia said to Li Wen who was beside him, "I have something to do at the moment, so I''ll be leaving first, you three can go eat."


    Gu Xia had no interest in this kind of thing, he was only interested after earning money now.


    "You''re leaving, how can that be? If you leave, I won''t you my brother anymore, can''t you do that workter? Besides, you dont have to be nervous. It''s not surprising that youll be nervous after seeing so many girls. Dont you want to get a girlfriend?"


    <em>Dam*nYou think that me, an old iron, is nervous? This brother doesn''t have a girlfriend! But this brother has a wife! This brother is a married man!</em>


    But only he knew these words. Gu Xia quite hated Wang Qun for his big mouth. That guy usually gossiped about everything. If he sees something happening with someone, he will make the whole dormitory know about it. So why didnt he talk about him having a girlfriend with Li Wen?


    Wang Qun and Liu Shu had clearly heard what he had said while he was on the phone Tu Sisi!


    If Wang Qun knew that Gu Xia was cursing him in his heart, he would definitely shout that he was being wronged. Li Wen came back at midnight every day and went to ss in the morning. Who had the time to tell him!


    "Okay! But I have someone I like, so don''t worry about me. That Han Jing is not my type. Besides, I think that our big bro seems to be interested in her." Gu Xia said helplessly.


    "Okay"


    Li Wen looked at Liu Shu and found that the guy kept looking in Han Jing''s direction. <em>Did our big bro take a liking to Han Jing?</em>


    Gu Xia smiled secretly, Who knew if their big bro likes Han Jing! The guy now had Han Jing and Huang Qin as options, lets see who he manages to take!


    And who said that Wang Qun was not good at chatting?


    The vibe between Wang Qun and Li Feifei was bing quite heated already.


    "Let''s go! Let''s go eat! There is a new Chuanshu hot pot restaurant in front of the university, let''s chat while eating." Song Yiyi said with a smile,


    "Okay!!"


    *****


    On the way, Li Wen and Song Yiyi walked ahead holding hands, Wang Qun kept talking with Li Feifei, and Li Feifei keptughing.


    Only Gu Xia, Liu Shu and Han Jing quietly followed behind. (G: poor Huang Qin is invisible.)


    The atmosphere was a little awkward. Gu Xia signaled Liu Shu several times to find something to chat with. Who knew that this guy chose to act dead, making Gu Xia very angry.


    Liu Shu was such a boring dude. He could chatter nonstop in the dormitory, but here he became meek like a young wife in front of girls!


    <em>And youment about not having a girlfriend all day?</em>


    "Hey~ Don''t make eye signals with others anymore, your eyes might turn crooked."


    Gu Xia became stunned, was this Han Jing talking to him?


    "Are you talking to me?" Gu Xia pointed to himself and asked.


    "Who else?" Han Jing sneered with narrowed eyes.


    "I saw the song you sang at the military training party, and it was good."


    "It was only so so."


    Gu Xia touched his nose.


    "What, do you hate me so much?"


    "No, why would you think that?" Gu Xia said suspiciously.


    "That means I''m not good-looking?"


    "No, you look nice!"


    Gu Xia couldn''t figure out why Han Jing was asking some nonsense?


    "You don''t hate me, and you think I''m good-looking, so why aren''t you looking at me or talking to me? Are you feeling inferior?"


    ".."


    Gu Xia felt stunned in his heart.


    <em>I said you look nice, and I don''t hate you, so why do you think I''m feeling inferior? Do you want me to stare at you and keep courting you so that I can prove that I don''t feel inferior?</em>


    What was with that logic?


    <em>My Sisi is really the best! She never makes trouble unreasonably, although sometimes she acts a little unreasonable, but shes still very cute. If she was like this, my happy days would be over!</em>

 Chapter 39: Changes in personality

    Chapter 39: Changes in personality


    Gu Xia felt that it was necessary to burst her self-confidence, oh no, it should be called megalomania.


    "First of all, don''t you understand that what I just said was polite? I didnt look at you out of respect. If I keep staring at you, you''ll probably think that I am a pervert. I didn''t talk to you because we don''t know each other, and Han Jing, I''m not feeling inferior, I just don''t want to talk, understand?"


    Gu Xia looked at her expressionless face, thinking, <em>Did I say too much!?</em>


    If she started crying now and said that I bullied her, he would be embarrassed to death.


    "Pfft~"


    "Hehehe"


    Gu Xia, ""


    <em>What the hell is this? I rebuked her, and sheughed? Could it be that water got in her brain?</em>


    "Are you thinking, I rebuked her and shes stillughing? Did water get in her brain?" Han Jing said with a smile.


    "How did you know that?" Gu Xia blurted out.


    "Well~ I won''t tell you, hehe~"


    Gu Xia looked at Han Jing, who was walking a few steps ahead, and pouted, <em>A woman is really iprehensible. But I don''t want to understand her. HellI dont even understand Tu Sisi thoroughly</em>


    They walked all the way to a hot pot restaurant called Chuanxiang Old Hotpot at the gate of the university.


    Li Wen had already reserved a seat. It was a partitioned booth. The table was quiterge and could amodate more than a dozen people to eat together.


    The decoration of the store was also very elegant, with some light music ying in the background. Since it just opened, there were special offers. There were many people who ate hot pot. Although this season was not that cold, the Mid-Autumn Festival wasing soon, so there were still a lot of people who ate hot pot.


    Most of the things ordered were ordered by girls, after all, women were the first priority here.


    Gu Xia only asked Li Wen to order a piece of pork belly for himself. Gu Xia''s favorite food for hot pot was pork belly. He liked to cook it spicy, and then put it in his mouth. Its crunchy and spicy vor had a pleasant taste.


    *****


    America.


    In the Hilton Hotel, Tu Sisi woke up in a daze.


    After waking up, herplexion changed, because she realized that illness had acted up again, and this was the third time it happened.


    The first time was at Mount Tai, the second time was at home, and it was just the third time.


    Fortunately, Gu Xiaforted her, otherwise she would definitely do something out of control.


    Just like thest time she was at home, she had said and done a lot of weird things, almost scaring her parents to death.


    Fortunately, it didnt happen on the street, or in front of Hu Chao and the others.


    Otherwise, things would not end well.


    The first time she passed out and had to be taken to the hospital.


    The second time she fainted at home.


    Fortunately, Gu Xia had helped her this time. It seemed that Gu Xia was really her bane!


    Tu Si then remembered, <em>It seems that Gu Xia asked me to help him with some data?</em>


    <em>Um I have to write it well, if he seeds and earns money, he will be able to see me as soon as possible. I''m a little excited to think about it</em>


    *****


    "Come on, cheers to the first contact between our two dormitories."


    In the hot pot restaurant, Wang Qun shouted with a beer in his hand.


    Thedies also picked up the cup of herbal tea and shouted, "Cheers~"


    Gu Xia looked at Wang Qun whose face was sparkling, and Li Wen and Song Yiyi, who were sitting together.


    And then there was Liu Shu, who was burying his head in his food, why did this guy feel so ufortable.


    Gu Xia thought about it, and he still couldn''t think of a reason, so he also lowered his head and ate the pork belly in front of him.


    <em>Eh?</em>


    There was a te full of pork belly just now, howe there are only two pieces left?


    Gu Xia looked at the two pieces of pork belly on the te in front of him and was stunned.


    Then he noticed that Han Jing''s bowl was full of rinsed pork belly,


    Gu Xia felt aggrieved.


    <em>If you like to eat pork belly, then why didnt you order it? Why are you eating the pork belly I ordered? I have put the pork belly in front of me, and you still ate it! And did your eyes get a cramp? Why are you winking at me? Do you have some kind of illness?</em>


    Gu Xia didn''t look at Han Jing, who was smiling and winking at him.


    He was afraid that he wouldnt be able to control himself and grab the pork belly from her bowl!


    Then he thought how good his Sisi was! Every time they went to eat hot pot, she would help him cook it, and she didn''t eat it herself. She was really the best!


    Gu Xia reluctantly picked up thest two pieces of pork belly and rinsed it, and put it in his mouth, <em>Um~ this is the taste, delicious</em>


    "Waiter, bring four servings of hairy belly to me."


    Gu Xia called the waiter and ordered.


    Gu Xia thought to himself that he could have a good time now, right?


    You want to rob? I will be ready when you try to grab it all and eat it.


    "Gu Xia, drink! Don''t just keep eating!"


    Wang Qun shouted.


    Gu Xia raised the beer and took a sip.


    "Feifei,e, eat this, this is delicious."


    "Thank you~"


    Gu Xia watched as Wang Qun kept feeding Li Feifei, and he was very attentive. It seemed that this kid really liked Li Feifei.


    As for Liu Shu?


    Forget it, let''s not talk about it. Except for drinking, this guy didn''t even raise his head, he just kept eating.


    Gu Xia didnt want to think too much and he just grabbed his rinsed pork belly to eat.


    "Hey~ Gu Xia, your name is Gu Xia, right? Which Gu and which Xia?" Han Jing asked with a smile.


    "Gu from ancient, and Xia from summer."


    "Oh~ your name is so unique."


    Your name is also quite unique." Gu Xia pouted.


    "Thank you."


    ""


    <em>Forget it, I can''t chat with this woman, I can''t continue to chat Ill just eat in silence!</em>


    Gu Xia nced at Liu Shu, this guy always eats with a hairy belly, and he didn''t even eat a few pieces.


    <em>This guy always talked about chasing girls, so why arent you chasing them! Don''t you see Huang Jing sitting there? So go up and chat! Youre a man, what are you afraid of!</em>


    <em>Even if you don''t like the quietHuang Jing, isn''t there still this proactive Han Jing? Why dont you go after her?</em>


    It''s a pity that Liu Shu didn''t know what Gu Xia was thinking, and even if he knew, he would pretend not to hear it.


    "Hey~ Yiyi, Li Wen, you asked us out, just let us see you two kiss! Oh, hey, youre even feeding him." Han Jing joked.


    Song Yiyi blushed when she heard her words, and ran to Han Jing''s side, and the two started bickering.


    "Come on, are you guys men or children? Drink this bottle with me, and lets see who is the real man. Come, drink."


    Gu Xia watched Han Jing finish drinking a bottle of wine in one breath, and was stunned. <em>Are you a man or us, can''t you drink slowly, why do you have to drink in one go? You will have no friends like this</em>


    "Whats the matter? I''ve finished drinking it, are you not a man! Cant you do it? Gu Xia, you drink first."


    After speaking, Han Jing nced at Gu Xia.


    "Yeah, Gu Xia, take the lead, you can''t lose face in our dormitory No. 333! Drink it." Wang Qun coaxed.


    "Gu Xia, men can''t say no~"


    Da*mn, it was really not worth it to make friends!


    Gu Xia shook his head with a wry smile, raised his head and finished a bottle.


    After drinking, his stomach felt a bit bloated. After all, it was 550 ml.


    "Thats more like a man."


    "Come on, Wang Qun, drink one."


    Gu Xia watched Han Jing finish four bottles in a row, Wang Qun, Liu Shu and Li Wen also drank a bottle due to her taunting.


    <em>Fu*k! It was 550 ml a bottle! So, 4 bottles added up to 2200ml. How can you do this without stopping?</em>


    Even if it was water, Gu Xia thought that he couldn''t drink that much!


    Although the beer would be digested after burping a few times and urinating, but drinking 4 bottles in a row like this was amazing!


    Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a master of the wine table!


    "Why am I the only one whos drinking, and you guys aren''t making any movement at all? Cant you drink more? If youre a man, you have to be able to drink." Han Jing shouted.


    Gu Xia and Li Wen looked at each other with a wry smile, indicating their inability.


    "Its only drinking, I''ll go first."


    Wang Qun couldn''t listen to her taunts, so he picked up a bottle of beer and faced her, followed by Li Feifei, Huang Qin, Song Yiyi and the others. Since Li Feifei and the others said they could not drink anymore, they only drank a ss of beer.


    After finishing four bottles, Wang Qun kept huping with a bitter look on his face, and just as he was about to sit down, he heard Han Jing say, "Hey, you haven''t finished the circle yet, why did you want to sit down? Your roommates also haven''t drank yet."


    Gu Xia saw Wang Qun''s expression and knew that he couldn''t drink anymore. It wasn''t because he couldn''t drink more, but because his stomach was full. If he drank more, he would definitely vomit.


    "Forget it! You just drank with us boys just now, and the girls from your dormitory didnt participate. So what Wang Qun did is justified."


    Gu Xia had to open his mouth and he couldn''t just watch Wang Qun drink and vomit. Wang Qun was a proud general and he wouldn''t be able to stand it.


    After he finished speaking, he kicked Li Wen with his foot, gave him a look, and asked him to quickly say a few words. If they drank like this tonight, they all would definitely vomit.


    "Yeah, Han Jing, don''t drink like this, or we all will all get drunkter."


    Yiyi also added, "Han Jing, drink slowly!"


    "Hehe~ okay!"


    Han Jing smiled, but didn''t continue to force Wang Qun to drink. Wang Qun breathed a sigh of relief, he almost vomited out just now, but fortunately held back. If he vomited here, it would be a matter of great shame.


    Gu Xia felt that since his rebirth, his personality had changed a bit, especially since he went to the university, he has be a lot more cheerful.


    In his previous life, he had to pay the mortgage every month, and he had to earn a livelihood. He always felt depressed and tired every day.


    After being reborn, all those pressures were gone, and his personality had changed a bit. Gu Xia didn''t know if this was good or bad?


    <em>But so far, it''s pretty good</em>


    After eating the hot pot, Li Wen proposed to go karaoke. This guy was not short of money anyway, but Gu Xia didn''t go.


    And after chatting, Gu Xia found out that Han Jing studied psychology, no wonder she spoke so sharply But it had nothing to do with him anyways.


    The group went to the karaoke, while Gu Xia returned to the dormitory, and continued to write on the notebook to prepare for another idea.

 Chapter 40: Mid-Autumn Festival

    Chapter 40: Mid-Autumn Festival


    "Ring! Ring! Ring!"


    It was Tu Sisi''s call.


    "Hello, Sisi?"


    Gu Xia said cautiously, he was afraid that Sisi was still ill, that she would ask about Chengcheng again.


    [Gu Xia, I have written your n and sent it to your email. Should read it to see if its okay.]


    Realizing that Tu Sisi was alright, Gu Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay, you are alright!"


    Although Gu Xia himself had written almost the same things, Tu Sisis writing style was much better than his. He could just look through itter, and add some of his own ideas in it.


    "Its all good~ I really should thank you for just now, or else I really don''t know what would have happened!" Tu Sisi said with some lingering fear.


    "Hehe~ Isn''t it okay now, and when are you going to the professor for treatment?" Gu Xia asked.


    [Ill goter, Hu Chao will take me there. He is familiar with Professor Smith. Although Dad gave me Professor Smith''s address, I am not familiar with this ce, and I am afraid that my illness may act up in the middle. He also wanted to take me there. So, its better to be safe.]


    "Well, it''s fine. I can rest assured if he takes you there."


    Gu Xia knew that Tu Sisi was afraid that he would think too much, so she exined it, but with the depth of feelings between the two, how could he not believe her?


    [Thats all, I am hanging up. I''m going to eat something. I''m not used to eating here and I also didn''t eat anything yesterday.]


    Alright, take care of yourself. If you''re not used to eating foreign food, go to a Chinese restaurant to eat. Don''t stay hungry and lose weight. Don''t let me see that you''ve gotten thin. I still like you a little plump and it feelsfortable that way." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    [Hateful!]


    "Bye"


    *****


    Gu Xia opened the mailbox and looked at the n written by Tu Sisi. It was indeed better than what he wrote, but some parts needed to be revised. It was already veryte today. He needed to go to the Inte cafe tomorrow to make revisions, and then print it out!


    After thinking about it, Gu Xia fell back to sleep. Although it was not easy to get drunk from beer, that didnt make it less ufortable!


    In the next few days, Gu Xia spent all his time studying. When he had time, he went to see his adoptive grandfather, cook for him, and chat with him.


    On the contrary, Han Jing called Gu Xia twice, but when Gu Xia repeatedly said that she had a girlfriend, she stopped calling.


    Some things needed to be exined in advance, otherwise the situation would getplicatedter.


    The night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Gu Xia was about to go home, he received a call from his adoptive grandfather Xu Tianxiang.


    "Hey, Gu Xia! Have you gone home yet?"


    "Not yet, I am just getting ready now, what''s the matter, do you need me for something, grandpa."


    "Its like this, isn''t it the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow? My grandchildren and granddaughters wille here tomorrow to celebrate the festival with this old man. They will leave in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Come over for lunch the day after tomorrow! You have to tell him about your ns then."


    "Okay, grandpa."


    "Good, that''s it, be careful on the road."


    "Hmmm"


    After hanging up the phone, Gu Xia looked a little excited. The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, he must do his best. That will be the day when Gu Xia rises.


    *****


    Gu Xia rode the bicycle he rodest time and hummed a song all the way home. He was in a very good mood.


    Finally, the opportunity that belonged to Gu Xia hade, and finally he would no longer be as mediocre as he was in his previous life.


    When Gu Xia got home, it happened that the meal was already set up.


    "Gu Xia, did youe back this early? I didn''t know that you woulde back early to cook, but I will be able to eat your cooking." Gu Qin said tenderly.


    "If you think that the food I make is unptable, then don''t eat itter." Tang Chunhua said angrily.


    "How can I dislike the food you cook, mom! It''s just that Gu Xias food is a little better than the food you cook." Gu Qin hurriedly dragged his mom and said sweetly.


    "You only know how to eat, I haven''t seen you for a few days, and this face is round again. " Gu Xia smiled and pinched the face of Gu Qin, hmmm it''s squishy..


    "I hate it! Mom, you see Gu Xia pinching my face again, my face is bing round because he pinches it so much." Gu Qin shook Tang Chunhua''s arm and said angrily.


    "Haha~ Okay, let''s eat!" Gu Feng called them with a smile.


    "Humph~"


    Gu Xia looked at the angry Gu Qin and couldn''t helpughing, "We can hang a soy sauce bottle on your pouting mouth."


    "Ha ha ha~"


    Gu Feng and Tang Chunhua alsoughed when they heard his words.


    "Stinky Gu Xia, rotten Gu Xia, bad Gu Xia" Gu Qin kept angrily scolding Gu Xia.


    "Xia Xia, I discussed with your Uncle Mao and the others, and they all think that we can do this decorationpany. Now we just need to find an office and people. We are not in a hurry now, and the office is also easy to find, but the material manufacturer is difficult to find. Ah, after all, there are too many materials needed to decorate a family home, and your Uncle Mao and I are going to look for the material factory today." Gu Feng sighed.


    "Dad, you can find that slowly. My advice to you is not to find too poor materials. If the materials are poor, although thepany will make a little more money, it will notst long." Gu Xia nodded and suggested.


    "Yes, your Uncle Mao and I also think the same way. Several material manufacturers have called in the past few days. We didn''t agree. We n to see it for ourselves and then decide." Gu Feng nodded and said.


    "Thats good. You and Uncle Mao are good at this."


    "Alright, by the way, I bought you aptop so that you can check the information. I saw that everyone in university has aputer. Although our family is not very wealthy, but we can do at least that much.


    "Umm thank you dad." Gu Xia told his father some things to pay attention to, and went back to his room to sleep.


    There was aptop in the room. It was a Hu*wei brand. Although it was a domestic brand, Hu*wei, was amongst the world''s top 500 domestic brands, has been leading in technology for a long time.


    Gu Xia was quite skilled at booting, plugging in the wirelesswork card, and running some necessary applications on theputer, such as QQ and music yer.


    Opening the mailbox, he modified the file Tu Sisi had sent him, and saved it.


    He nned to just print it out tomorrow.


    The next day, Gu Xia went out to have fun with Gu Qin for a while and bought her two clothes.


    In the evening, Gu Xia personally cooked a table full of dishes.


    Gu Feng also went to the countryside to pick up Gu Xia''s grandparents for reunion.


    "Xia Xia, go downstairs and shoot firecrackers. It''s time for dinner." Gu Feng shouted.


    Gu Xia responded, picked up the disc-like firecracker at the door, lit it downstairs, and a deafening sound was suddenly heard.


    Others also lit firecrackers one after another.


    Gu Xia thought about the sound of "crackling" outside, smelled the smell of firecrackersit was such a nostalgic smell and sound!


    Although it was not environmentally friendly, it was very useful in festivals!


    Unlike the New Year and festivals in the future, which were mundane and boring.


    After the ban on fireworks and firecrackers in his previous life, Gu Xias family went to his grandfathers house in the countryside every year.


    The culture of fireworks was still the same in the countryside. After all, they would not ban it in the countryside for a while.


    "Come, sit down and eat."


    The family had a lively meal, and his grandparents were also very happy. After all, they were reunited with their children and grandchildren after a long time!

 Chapter 41: Excitement

    Chapter 41: Excitement


    Early in the next morning, Gu Xia was sent to the university by his father. After all, it was thest day off for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he had to continue his sses from today.


    Gu Xia got out of the car and said goodbye to his father, and then printed out the n at the print shop at the university gate.


    Gu Xia wanted to go to the dormitory and ask them to have breakfast together, but after thinking about it, he let it go. Maybe they hadn''t woken up yet, and there were still two hours until the sses began.


    Gu Xia found a breakfast shop at the university gate, ordered two fried dough sticks, a bowl of soy milk, and a basket of Xiaolongbao. (G: Xiaolongbao = soup dumplings.)


    He had heard that this breakfast shop has been open here for more than ten years. It was Gu Xia''s first time eating here as he used to eat in the cafeteria. The business in the shop was very hot at this part of the day.


    Gu Xia took a bite of the fried dough sticks, um~ soft and crunchy, very good, much better than the fried dough sticks in many other shops. Unlike many fried dough sticks in other shops, this one wasnt too soft or too hard, it had an authentic taste.


    After Gu Xia finished eating breakfast, he touched his stomach contentedly, <em>Umm~ so full!</em>


    It was still early, so Gu Xia rested for ten minutes, and then ran around the sportsground. The body was the vessel of the mind, so he had to exercise regrly. Not to mention, Gu Xia insisted on running every day, and his physical fitness had improved a lot. He had grown a bit more muscle, although he still looked very thin, but his physique was much better than before.


    Gu Xia was going to wait until he earns some money, and also go to the gym to train properly. He was reluctant to spend his parents money like in his past life, and now he even had the experience when it came to earning money.


    After bing rich, Gu Xia wanted to experience things that he was reluctant to give up or had no money to experience in his previous life. Otherwise, what was the point of having money?


    After running, Gu Xia returned to the dormitory. His roommates all got up by the time Gu Xia came out after a cold shower.


    "Third bro, you''re so lucky, you can go home for the holidays, and the three of us can only eat out with Yiyi, sigh~." Liu Shu said with envy.


    "Yeah, I wanted to go back, but even if I went back by ne, it would be too rushed, so I simply didn''t go back, and my mother scolded me a lot." Li Wen also said.


    "Don''t fret about that, who told us toe this far away? There''s no way out now." Wang Qun pouted.


    "You guys! Didn''t you go back for National Day some time ago? You said you felt like not going home for several years." Gu Xia said helplessly.


    "That''s different. This is the Mid-Autumn Festival! It''s hard not to be able to go home and reunite on a family reunion day." Wang Qun retorted.


    "Hehe~"


    Gu Xia squinted his eyes at him and sneered, "What about people who work in other provinces, they onlye back once a year for the New Year, dont they want toe back often? They want to earn more money, save some travel expenses. And, many people work for the sake of bringing more money when they go home during the New Year, and they usually live frugally. Its not that they dont want to go home, but they are reluctant to spend on travel expenses. They have it much worse than us who study, we get so many vacations a year, so be content!


    "That''s true. My cousin works in the capital and only goes home once during the New Year, and he said that he doesn''t earn much money a year. The rent there is expensive, food is expensive, and everything is expensive." Liu Shu nodded and sighed.


    "So we have to study hard, so that there will be a good way to live in the future." Li Wen said.


    "Okay, it''s almost time, let''s go get something to eat and go to ss."


    "Lets go."


    *****


    Gu Xia didn''t go with them. After all, he had already had his breakfast and came to the ssroom much earlier than others. After arriving in the ssroom, he noticed that there was already a person sitting in it. Gu Xia really couldn''t remember their name. After all, their seats are far away. And they usually didn''t speak.


    Soon, the students came to the ssroom one after another.


    "You came so early?"


    Xu Mengying put down her bag and asked.


    "Well, I had nothing to do, so I care a little early."


    "Oh."


    Soon the teacher came in, and the ss officially began. Gu Xia listened carefully and took notes.


    Gu Xia was very serious about learning every ss,


    Knowledge was the foundation. He never went to university in his previous life, but now he had the opportunity to do so. Gu Xia didn''t want to waste the four years of his university life.


    The time always passed quickly when one enjoyed somethin, and soon the morning ss was over.


    Gu Xia packed up the textbooks, and then hurriedly picked up the n and walked to Grandpa Xu''s residence.


    Along the way, Gu Xia''s mood was surging with excitement.


    He kept organizing words in his mind so that he could make this n more attractive to thetter. Although these two projects were very attractive in themselves, it still depended on what Gu Xia said. If he pitched it well, plus the project itself, then it would be foolproof.


    When he arrived at the teacher''s dormitory area, Gu Xia looked at Grandpa Xu''s residence, took a deep breath, and walked towards the house that would change his destiny.


    <em>Yes, this will change my fate.</em>


    Without the injection of arge amount of capital, Gu Xia would never be able to make his ns a reality. This required connections and energy, and if he wanted it to be effective in a short time, he needed a lot of money. Gu Xia had no funds, no connections to speak of, and he also had to spend a lot of time every day for ss.


    So all this has to be done in cooperation with others.


    "Knock! Knock!"


    "Come in!"


    Gu Xia pushed open the door and went in, only to see Grandpa Xu and an elegant man in his thirties sitting on the sofa, chatting with each other. The man should be his grandson. In the kitchen, there was a girl in her twenties who was cooking the meal.


    The elegant man was called Xu Fan. He had a shallow smile on his face, and his eyes were extraordinarily bright. When he saw Gu Xiaing in, his eyes began scrutinizing Gu Xia. Ordinary family background and ordinary person, but how could his grandpa ept such a person as his adoptive grandson?


    When Xu Fan just came back yesterday, he heard his grandpa say that he had epted a good grandson, and the first thing that came to his mind was that someone was deliberately approaching his grandpa. So, he immediately sent someone to check everything about the person. He had to do so, because although his grandpa was old, he had a lot of connections. His oldrades were not ordinary people, and Xu Fan just couldn''t figure out why this young man was epted by his grandfather as his adoptive grandson.


    "Gu Xia,e, this is my grandson Xu Fan." Xu Tianxiang waved at Gu Xia.


    "Hello, I''m Xu Fan, you must be the Gu Xia that Grandpa often keeps mentioning these two days! Well, you are quite the young man." Xu Fan stretched out his hand and said with a smile.


    "Brother Xu, hello."


    Gu Xia shook hands with Xu Fan, and then sat on the sofa as well.


    "Gu Xia, show Xiao Fan the n, and then you young people should have a good chat."


    After speaking, Xu Tianxiang went to the kitchen.


    "Here, Brother Xu, here are the two ns I came up with, please take a look." Gu Xia took out the n from his backpack and handed it to Xu Fan.


    "Hmm."


    Xu Fan first looked at the hired vehicle n, and the more he read, the more startled he became. He originally promised his grandpa that no matter what Gu Xia showed him, as long as it wasn''t too absurd, he would agree to invest some money. As for how much? It would depend on his performance, it may be hundreds of thousands, or tens of thousands.


    But he didn''t expect his n to be so amazing, it was just like two pies that fell from the sky!


    As long as they could operate it properly, those industries he had were just mud!


    These two ns were enough to create two wealthy people who could y an important role in Chinas economy!


    And, I can also enter the top rich circles in the capital, and then


    When Xu Fan thought about it, his whole body trembled with excitement.

 Chapter 42: Reasons for drinking

    Chapter 42: Reasons for drinking


    <em>Wait!</em> Xu Fan calmed down a bit. <em>Theunch of these two projects were rted to mobile phone technology, but the 4G era has not yete!</em>


    He had talked about this with his friends some time ago, he learned that 4G technology would be implemented nationwide by the end of the year. And, the reason why the central government was implementing 4G ahead of schedule was that the project had achieved some explosive breakthroughs, otherwise 4G would at least be dyed for five or six years.


    But how can a freshman write such a detailed n, and it also involves 4G intelligence? How did he find out? Although everyone was saying that 4G wasing, no one knew exactly when it woulde.


    Even Xu Fan learned about it because of his grandfather''s rtionship with some officials in the capital. Was this just a coincidence?


    <em>Forget it, what am I thinking so hard about? How could he know such a thing with his family background?</em>


    <em>Maybe he''s one of those geniuses or something.</em>


    Xu Fan continued to look through the ns, the more he looked, the more shocked he was, and the more fascinated he became.


    There was not only the core content, but also many details listed one by one. For example, for takeaway, one must find a clean and hygienic partner, takeaway itself must be clean and tidy and many other details.


    Gu Xia looked at Xu Fan with an uneasy face. Noticing that his expression was sometimes puzzled, sometimes shocked, and sometimes full of smiles, the big stone in Gu Xia''s heart finally fell. This matter was not a problem anymore, the next step was to discuss the specific operation and share distribution.


    "Really Gu Xia, you are the one that is sending me money!"


    Xu Fan eximed in amazement after reading it all thoroughly.


    "When you came in, I was honestly a little disdainful. I thought that what you wrote would be only subpar. It''s not that I look down on you university students, but that you people don''t understand the market at all except for theoretical knowledge, and you also don''t have any experience. But looking at it now, it was fortunate that I came here, and I must apologize to you."


    Gu Xia immediately waved his hand when he heard his words of apology, "Brother Xu, I can understand your thoughts. If I was in your position, my thoughts would be the same."


    "The thing is, I originally nned to go back to the capital in the afternoon, but now it seems that I can''t go back. I want to discuss these two ns with you, and try to make a feasible n as soon as possible." Xu Fan smiled.


    "But, I still have sses in the afternoon." Gu Xia wondered.


    "It''s all right, I''m going to stay here for a few days, and I''ll bring mypany''s finance and project manager here too. After all, we need to calcte how much money to invest and a lot of specific implementation ns." Xu Fan said excitedly.


    "Okay, so I wille here after sses these few days." Gu Xia nodded.


    "Okay, let''s eat first! The two of you should talkter, the dishes will be cold."


    Xu Tianxiang was sitting on the table and said with a smile. The dishes were ready long ago, but he didn''t bother to call them after seeing that they were chatting vigorously.


    "Hehe, let''s go, Brother Gu Xia, let''s have a good drink today." Xu Fan stood up and smiled.


    He was really happy today, and he was also d that he hade back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Otherwise, would hee across these two projects?


    "Okay!"


    Gu Xia was also very happy that his n to earn money had finally begun.


    And Xu Tianxiang''s granddaughter also walked out of the kitchen. She was dressed in professional clothes and wore ck stockings, which men liked most, on her slender feet. Gu Xia learned that her name was Xu Jiayin, and she was studying at BeijingUniversity.


    "Haha~ Come on, lets drink."


    Xu Tianxiang said with a smile, he was also happy today, his work with his adoptive grandson has been resolved, and his own grandson would stay here for a few more days, so naturally Xu Tianxiang was very excited.


    "Come on, grandpa, this grandson respects you."


    "This grandson also respects you."


    "Okay~"


    Xu Tianxiang smiled and drank again and again.


    "Grandpa, drink less, you have high blood pressure." Xu Jiayin said helplessly.


    "It''s alright, grandpa knows what to do,


    When we were at war, we would drink wine that felt like 72-degree hot knives, and this amount of wine is nothing." Xu Tianxiang waved his hand domineeringly.


    "Xiao Yin, grandpa is happy today, you don''t have to worry about him, I wont make grandpa drink too much." Xu Fan alsoughed.


    *****


    After Gu Xia finished eating, he hurried to the ssroom, jogging all the way. The weather was very hot, Gu Xia had just drank white wine, so his mouth felt dry and his face was flushed.


    When he arrived in the ssroom, he attracted everyone''s attention. In addition to that, he drank alcohol, and the smell of liquor quickly spread throughout the ssroom.


    "Did you drink?" Xu Mengying asked in surprise.


    After all, there were still very few people who drank in the university at this time.


    "Hmm I drank a little."


    "You drank a little!? The whole ssroom smells of alcohol, just wait for the teacher to scold you!" Xu Mengying sneered.


    "Then Ill just get scolded! I didn''t expect to drink this much as well." Gu Xia said helplessly.


    "I really don''t understand why you men like to drink so much. My dad is the same. He socializes here and there all day, andes back home drunk every day. I hate men who drink the most." Xu Mengying said with a frown.


    "Actually, sometimes drinking is ast resort, its probably the same for your dad. If your dad doesn''t go out to socialize, how would he do his business? Would you be able to use Chanel then?"


    "You can''t just look at only one side of things, of course, those who drink and do nothing are exceptions. No one wants to go home drunk to face their wives and children. They also want to go home early to eat and sleep, but sometimes there''s just no other way."


    Gu Xia had a deep understanding of this matter. Wasn''t he an example? Maybe he didn''t earn as much money as Xu Mengying''s father, but the nature was the same.


    "What you said makes sense, but I still think drinking is not good." Xu Mengying nodded.


    "Hehe~ Everyone has different opinions!"


    "You talk like a salesperson or apany owner. Is there no other entertainment at all? To socialize, do you have to go to drink at a bar?


    If you don''t know how to drink, you will be sidelined at the table. Because Chinese people advocate the culture of the drinking table, so whether you are talking about business or making friends, it is mostly at the drinking table."


    Gu Xia shared some of his personal insights with Xu Mengying. He noticed Xu Mengying''s disgusted expression when she said that her father returned drunk every day. He hoped that his words would make her attitude towards her father improve a little.


    "Oh"


    Xu Mengying responded, then frowned and thought about Gu Xia''s words.


    Soon the teacher came in. But his expression changed as soon as he came in, and he asked sharply, "Who drank alcohol? Why does the whole ssroom smell of alcohol?"


    All the people looked in the direction of Gu Xia, many people wanted to watch the fun, and some people were just indifferent. Human nature was like this.


    "Teacher, it''s me."


    Gu Xia ignored other people''s gazes, he stood up and spoke out. A man must be brave when he does something, admit it when he is wrong, and even more so he must admit his mistakes.


    "Gu Xia, why were you drinking? Didn''t you know that there would be a ss in the afternoon?"


    "I know, I admit my mistake, it was my fault." Gu Xia sincerely apologized to the teacher.


    "As this is your first offense, Ill forget it this time, but if there is a next time, I''ll deduct your credits, understand?"


    "Understood, thank you teacher." Gu Xia said gratefully. He thought that the teacher would reprimand him at least for a while, but he didn''t expect the teacher to let him go so easily.


    "Well then the students sitting by the windows should open them all, and the ss will begin now."

 Chapter 43: Money begets leisure

    Chapter 43: Money begets leisure


    There was a ss in the afternoon.


    After ss, Gu Xia went to the toilet, and then washed his face with cold water. Although he was not drunk, because of the hot weather and the white wine, Gu Xia felt dry all over. After finishing, he hurried to the store to buy a bottle of ice water.


    "GokGokGok!"


    He drank the water in one breath, after which he felt much better.


    "Whoo~"


    Gu Xia let out a long sigh of relief and prepared to go back to the dormitory to take some rest. In the evening, he had an appointment with Xu Fan to discuss the implementation n.


    Originally, Gu Xia was going to talk in the afternoon, but Xu Fan drank a lot at noon and was probably still sleeping.


    Back in the dormitory, the others were still in ss, and Gu Xia was lying on the bed with a groggy head.


    He picked up his phone and checked the time. It was 3:30 in the afternoon, it was still midnight in the United States, and Sisi must be sleeping.


    Gu Xia, who originally wanted to call Tu Sisi, suddenly felt a little dull.


    By the way, his mobile phone bnce was almost over, and he had to pay for the call. Last month, he paid 500 yuan for the call and it was now gone. International calls were really expensive!


    Gu Xia shook his head, got up and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, then went to the store, and paid 500 yuan. Seeing that there were only 200 yuan left in his pocket, Gu Xia rubbed his nose with a wry smile. <em>My phone bill is really high. In my previous life, the highest phone bill I had to pay was only 700 to 800 yuan. Now, in less than a month, I spent a thousand yuan on the phone bill alone!</em>


    It seemed that hed be a beggar even before he started to make money.


    Gu Xia couldn''t help sighing, "Money is the source of all evil!"


    Gu Xiay on the bed under the spinning ceiling fan, and fell asleep after a while.


    *****


    When he woke up again, it was already dark outside, Gu Xia looked at his phone, and there were several missed calls, all from Xu Fan.


    Gu Xia immediately called back.


    "Hello, Brother Xu, I''m sorry, I just fell asleep and didn''t hear the phone ring. I''ll be there in a minute."


    "It''s okay, you just woke up, we''ll talk about it when youe."


    "Hmm~"


    Gu Xia took a bath, changed his clothes, and walked to Grandpa Xu''s house.


    It was drizzling outside, and he felt a little cool air on his body. Autumn was almost over, would winter be far behind?


    In three or four months, it will be New Year''s Eve. He had promised Sisi that he would visit her in the United States, but he didnt have the money yet!


    <em>When I will earn enough money, I will buy Sisi a diamond ring. She had been wanting that for a long time in our previous life, and I had been reluctant to buy it. When I earn money, I will buy her a diamond ring and a diamond ne to make her happy. And, when she is happy, I can have a happy event and well finally roll in the bed sheets</em>


    Thinking of that important event, Gu Xia lowered his head and patted his Little Brother, <em>Hmmhold on, you will definitely have a good time during the holiday</em>


    *****


    When he arrived at Grandpa Xu''s house, Xu Jiayin had already cooked up the meal, and Grandpa Xu was not there.


    "Gu Xia is here, let''s eat first!"


    "Brother, Gu Xia is here, let''s eat!" Xu Jiayin shouted.


    "Well, what about grandpa?" Gu Xia asked.


    "Grandpa went to his oldrade-in-arms'' house for dinner, let''s eat." Xu Jiayinughed.


    "Gu Xia is here? Okay sit down, eat first, and let''s chat after dinner."


    Xu Fan, who came out of the room, also wanted to eat first.


    They didnt drink at night. They had already drank at noon and so no one wanted to drink at night. If they drink too much, then it would be hard to have important discussions as drinking would affect their minds.


    After eating, Xu Jiayin went to wash the dishes, Gu Xia nced at her and smiled at Xu Fan, "Sister Jiayin is really virtuous! She can cook and do housework."


    "Hehe, thats my little sister! She had lived with our grandparents since she was a child, and my grandma taught her all this."


    "How about it, my sister is not bad, so you can consider pursuing her, she doesn''t have a boyfriend yet."


    Gu Xia looked at Xu Fan who was winking, and he knew that he was just joking, so he couldn''t help but rub his nose and smile, "Sister Jiayin is beyond my level, and I have a girlfriend too."


    "You already have a girlfriend! Does she study at Jiangbei University too?" Xu Fan said in surprise.


    "She is studying abroad, not here."


    "Ohso its a long-distance rtionshipno, a foreign rtionship, you are farther than a long-distance rtionship. But are you not afraid of any problems in your rtionship?" Xu Fan said with a smile.


    "It''s alright, I believe her." Gu Xia smiled confidently.


    He and Tu Sisi had been in a rtionship for several years as a husband and wife. If they couldn''t even stand this test, then Gu Xia would have nothing to say.


    "Gu Xia, I support you." Xu Jiayin''s voice came from the kitchen.


    "Hehe, thank you Sister Jiayin."


    "Okay, let''s talk about business." Xu Fan said sternly.


    "First of all, Gu Xia, although we have ns, we are still unable to implement them at the moment. Because both projects require smartphones and 4G will not be released until the end of this month. It would take at least a few months or even half a year for most people in the country to use smartphones. And, as for the app you mentioned in your n, we can only start to develop this app after 4Ges out, so what we can do now is to recruit technicians and developers. We have toplete the preparatory work in the early stage, so that when 4G is avable, we can immediately develop apps, and then quickly seize the entire market. Even if there arepetitorster, we would have already eaten up most of the market, and then we will reap the results."


    Gu Xia listened to Xu Fan''s analysis, nodded, and couldn''t help feeling a little discouraged. He hadn''t considered 4G, the most important factor!


    Without 4G, the take-out and taxi-hailing software would not be of any use at all.


    And the current 4G was being implemented several years aheadpared to his previous life! In his previous life it was implemented in 2004. So why was iting out now?


    <em>Is it the so-called butterfly effect?</em>


    Gu Xia didn''t know, but this news was good news for both himself and the Chinese people.


    "Well, it is true that we have to wait for the emergence of 4G intelligence before we can start. The more people use smartphones, the more users we will have, and a huge amount of revenue will follow." Gu Xia nodded and said.


    "As for the investment and distribution of shares, we will discuss that when mypany''s finance and secretary wille tomorrow.


    "Alright."


    "And here"


    "Well, I think this thing here can be done like this"


    Gu Xia listened to Xu Fan throughout the whole process, asionally correcting his views and inserting his own.


    The two were discussing it with great enthusiasm.


    Xu Jiayin was ying a game on her phone, and she gave them their privacy. When they finished drinking, she would go to the refrigerator and continue to get them iced mineral water.


    Unconsciously, three hours passed, and Gu Xia''s n had many traces of alterations.


    "Gu Xia, how is it? It''s almostplete, is there anything else you want to add?" Xu Fan stood up, stretched and asked.


    "For the time being, I don''t have any ideas, so let''s do it like this for now! We''ll modify it slowlyter." Gu Xia thought for a while and spoke.


    "That''s alright, you should go back to sleep first, ande back tomorrow night. Those people from mypany will arrive tomorrow evening, and we''ll talk about it at night."


    "Alright, Brother Xu, Sister Jiayin, I''ll go back first."


    "Good night, be careful on the road."


    When Gu Xia returned to the dormitory, it was almost ten o''clock.

 Chapter 44: The night of popping cherries

    Chapter 44: The night of popping cherries


    Gu Xia''s mood was still a bit excited. Xu Fan was worthy of being a business owner. The conversation with him just now not only made the project n more perfect, but Gu Xia also learned a lot from it. The things he learned were valuable experience. Now, if Gu Xia faced the same problem again, he would know what to do.


    Gu Xia took out his mobile phone and called Tu Sisi. He really wanted to share the news with her. She was someone who he should share the good news with.


    "Du! Du! Du!"


    No one answered, maybe she was busy?


    <em>Forget it, I guess shes busy with something, she will call backter.</em>


    Gu Xia put away the phone,y on the bed and began to read a book.


    *****


    At the same time.


    In a private hospital in New York, United States. This hospital was not that big, but there were many people visiting the doctor. This hospital was very famous in New York because there were many famous American medical experts in it.


    And Tu Sisi was sitting upright in one of the rooms, and in front of her stood a blond man in his fifties. The man''s hair was long andbed back meticulously.


    He was speaking in broken Chinese, "Miss Sisi, don''t worry, your condition is not as serious as you think. You just need to cooperate with my treatment. I am sure of my ability to cure you, but your illness is one that involves the heart. If you can open the knot in your heart, then your condition can be cured quickly. So Miss Sisi, your condition is actually mainly up to you. I can only assist you in your treatment. Be prepared to stay here for some time.


    "I know, Professor Smith, then I will trouble you in theing days." Tu Sisi nodded and said.


    "Good." Professor Smith nodded, then smiled at Hu Chao who was standing beside him: "Xiao Chao, long time no see, how is your father?"


    "Thank you Uncle Smith for your concern. My dad is very good. He talked about you some time ago. He said that someday he will bring a few bottles of Bordeaux aged wine to meet you for a few drinks." Hu Chao smiled.


    "Haha~"


    *****


    Seeing that Hu Chao and Professor Smith were talking merrily, Tu Sisi said goodbye to Hu Chao, and came to the hospital''s garden alone. The garden was full of beautiful flowers, which instantly made people feel better.


    Tu Sisi took out her mobile phone from her backpack and wanted to make a call to Gu Xia. When she saw a missed call notification on the screen, she clicked it and saw that it was Gu Xia. And, Tu Sisi couldn''t help but smile.


    Tu Sisi called back, connected and said, "Gu Xia, you just called me, what''s the matter? I didn''t hear the phone ring because I was in the hospital just now."


    Gu Xia smiled and said, [It''s nothing, I just wanted to tell you that the two projects have been settled, and they will beunched in a while, and then I will be able to earn a lot of money, and I will be able to buy a lot of things for you. You will be able to buy everything that you like and used to like]


    Tu Sisi listened to Gu Xia''s excited words, her heart softened, and a smile bloomed on her face. That smile was much prettier than the flowers in the garden.


    "Alright~ I''m waiting for you to buy them for me. I also met with Professor Smith today. Professor Smith said that he can cure me."


    [Haha~ That''s really double happiness! It''s a pity that I''m not by your side, otherwise we could celebrate.] Gu Xia said with some regret.


    "Hehe~ It''s okay, when youe to the United States, you can take me to celebrate. We will eat a lot of delicious food then." Tu Sisiughed softly.


    [Okay, you have to listen to the professor''s words over there, and take good treatment. Even if you go to school, you should pay attention to yourself. If you feel any difort, you should contact the professor immediately, alright?] Gu Xia instructed.


    "Got it."


    "Gu Xia"


    [Hmm?]


    "Do you miss me?" Tu Sisi softly asked.


    [I miss youI miss you so much that I might die.]


    "Me too"


    *****


    After hanging up the phone, Tu Sisi still had a happy smile on her face.


    "Sisi, who were you calling? You''re smiling so happily."


    Hu Chao came out of the hospital and asked with a smile.


    "I was on the phone with my boyfriend." Tu Sisi said with a smile.


    "Ohboyfriend? That man is really lucky! How can he make you like him so much? I''m a little jealous, haha~" Hu Chao said with a smile.


    "Let''s go, let''s go back!" Tu Sisi didn''t say anything, just smiled and walked outside.


    Hu Chao looked at Tu Sisi''s back, with his handsome face full of intoxication, he secretly clenched his fist, and said to himself, <em>I must keep Sisi by my side. And, it''s perfect that they are separated from each other. This is my chance! I don''t believe that if I stay by your side every day and listen to your every demand, you will not be moved. When that timees, the boyfriend in China will just wait stupidly. </em>(G: I mean, its not a bad n. Its just creepy.)


    Thinking about it, a smile appeared on Hu Chao''s face, and then he hurriedly followed in Tu Sisi''s footsteps.


    "Sisi, let me take you to eat a Jiangbei dish, it''s quite authentic."


    "Okay"


    "Lets go, get in the car"


    *****


    Over a month passed.


    During this period of time, Gu Xia not only was regr in sses, but also called Tu Sisi frequently and talked to each other.


    The project had also beenunched. Xu Fan hired a lot of professional talents. The app had already begun to take shape, and it would beunched in a while. In terms of shares, Gu Xia has 40% and Xu Fan has 60%. Gu Xia was quite satisfied with this allocation. After all, he was only providing project ideas. Even if he did not have it all to himself, the rise of takeaways and hired taxis was inevitable in the future, so Xu Fan giving him 40% of the total shares was already very high.


    Even if he turned his face and didn''t give Gu Xia any shares, Gu Xia couldnt do anything about it, after all, he was just a powerless man!


    So Gu Xia was still very grateful to Xu Fan. Don''t underestimate 40% of the shares. If this project was to make money, 40% may be 400 million or even 4 billion.


    Even if the shares were to be diluted in the future, Gu Xia still had nothing to lose.


    Xu Fan also credited Gu Xia''s ount with 1 million, so Gu Xia was not short of money now. So, the first thing he did was to apply for a passport in order to prepare for the holiday to the United States.


    He paid 200,000 yuan to his father Gu Feng, and asked him to run the decorationpany properly. Regarding his family''s questioning, Gu Xia said that he made some money by doing business with his friends outside, and he repeatedly assured that he was doing a legit business.


    Gu Xia originally wanted to give them 500,000, but Xu Fan said that he should buy a car, so that it would be convenient to go to thepany for a meeting during the break.


    Thepany''s legal owner was Gu Xia, who had to drive to the magic capital. It only takes four hours to drive from Jiangbei to the magic capital. Gu Xia also agrees and ns to pick up the car after a while.


    Since Gu Xia was obedient from childhood to adulthood, his family didn''t say much other than telling him to study hard. After all, if he could earn money, who wouldn''t be happy.


    Gu Xia also bought a 4G smartphone for the first time. The one from Hu*wei cost 5,000 yuan. In this era, the smartphone had juste out, so the price was rtively high.


    Although the fourth generation of Ap*le mobile phones had alsounched, its price was as high as 8,000. But Gu Xia did not buy that. It was not that he had no money, but Gu Xia wanted to support domestic products. Besides, domestic mobile phones were not worse than foreign ones.


    Theunch of 4G smartphones really set off a storm across the country, and major mobile phone stores and business markets have be extremely popr.


    *****


    Gu Xia was walking on the street alone. This was Christmas Eve. The streets were full of apples and flowers. Apples were sold t for up to 8 yuan each.


    There were couples everywhere. Most of the girls were holding flowers and apples, and the boys were all smiling. After all, Christmas Eve was the night most of them would lose their virginity. So, of course the boys would be happy.


    (G: It''s tradition to eat an apple on Christmas Eve. One of the mostmon Chinese Christmas traditions among young people is to send cellophane-wrapped apples as gifts to their friends. The apples are also often sold with printed messages like love'', peace'' and Merry Christmas''.)

 Chapter 45: Li Jingjing’s arrival

    Chapter 45: Li Jingjing¡¯s arrival


    Gu Xia looked at the pair of sweet couples and hed be lying if he said that he did not feel any envy, but it was only that much.


    Lovers did not need to be together every day, as long as their hearts were together that was enough.


    <em>I wonder what Sisi is doing today? Ill just wait and give her a call! Is there winter in the US right now?</em>


    Christmas abroad was just as lively as the Chinese New Year.


    "Ring! Ring!"


    Gu Xia took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was Li Jingjing''s number.


    "Hello, Jingjing! Why are you suddenly calling me today?" Gu Xiaughed.


    "Why, if you don''t call me, cant I call you?" Li Jingjing said begrudgingly.


    "Hehe, how can that be? I''m just busy with my studies." Gu Xia rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly.


    "Brother Xiao Xia, where are you? I''m at the gate of your university,e quickly."


    "Ah! Why are you here, why didn''t you tell me in advance!" Gu Xia said in surprise.


    "I wanted to give you a surprise. Come quickly I''ll be waiting for you at the gate."


    "Okay, I''ll go right there."


    Gu Xia gave a wry smile, wondering why Li Jingjing came to see him so suddenly.


    Gu Xia ran all the way to the gate of the school, and saw Li Jingjing wearing a white down jacket and boots, standing at the gate, constantly rubbing her hands.


    The weather was already very cold. The weather forecast said that it would snow in two days. Today''s temperature was as low as 2 degrees. The weather in Jiangbei was like this. It was too hot in summer and too cold in winter.


    Gu Xia ran over and said, "Jingjing, it''s so cold, why are you here?"


    Seeing Gu Xiaing closer, Li Jingjing said with a big smile, "Isn''t it Christmas Eve today? I came to give you an apple!"


    Gu Xia looked at Li Jingjing, whose face and hands were frozen red, and felt very ufortable. The weather was so cold, and this girl came so far, just to give him an apple!


    Gu Xia smiled, touched her head and said, "Thank you Jingjing, arent you cold? Let''s go, your brother Xiao Xia will take you to eat hot pot."


    "Im not cold, but you are wearing so little, don''t catch a cold." Li Jingjing said softly.


    Gu Xia looked at himself, it seemed okay to him. He was wearing autumn clothes, long pants, a wool sweater, and a woolen coat outside, and that was wearing quite a lot!


    "I''m not cold, let''s go and buy you a roasted sweet potato to warm up."


    Gu Xia ran to the roasted sweet potato stall on the side and said to the old man, "Uncle, give me a roasted sweet potato, heres the money."


    "Okay,d,e here, I''ll give you a big one, be careful to not burn your mouth."


    "Thank you uncle."


    At this time period, the roasted sweet potato was only fifty cents a piece, and it was also quite big, not five yuan a piece for a small one like it will be in the future.


    "Come eat! The roasted sweet potato is delicious and it can also warm your hands." Gu Xia handed the roasted sweet potato to Li Jingjing and smiled.


    He remembered when he was with Sisi before, back when she was not pregnant, and they both went to work. Gu Xia would get off work early, and Tu Sisi worked in a newspaper office. He would buy a roasted sweet potato, put it in his arms and wait in front of Tu Sisi''spany. When she got off work, he would take it out for her to eat. The roasted sweet potato would still remain hot. At that time, even a roasted sweet potato could make Tu Sisi very satisfied.


    "Thank you, brother Xiao Xia. Auh~ it''s so hot!"


    "Lets go, I''ll take you to eat hot pot."


    "Thank you, Brother Xiao Xia." Li Jingjing said sweetly.


    "Hehe~"


    Gu Xia took Li Jingjing to the old Chuanshu hot pot restaurant where he wentst time.


    "Brother Xiao Xia, this ce is very expensive!"


    Li Jingjing saw the decoration inside, it looked quite high-end, much higher-end than the hot pot restaurants in their newly built district. She was a little worried that it would be too expensive.


    "Its fine. Don''t worry, it''s about the same price as our area." Gu Xiaughed. "Come on, take a look and order what you want to eat."


    Gu Xia ordered a pork belly, mutton rolls, beef rolls and a small bottle of liquor for himself, and then handed the menu to Li Jingjing.


    "Ah! You call this not expensive!? A mutton roll is 88 yuan! In our district its only 58 yuan." Li Jingjing said with a frown.


    "Hehe~ It''s okay, this is an urban area after all, you can order whatever you like. Your brother Xia will not get hurt with this amount of money."


    "Alright, fine then."


    After Li Jingjing finished ordering, Gu Xia took the menu and went to pay. When he saw what Li Jingjing ordered on the way, he couldnt help letting out augh. The dishes that Li Jingjing ordered were all lettuce, enoki mushrooms, dumplings, potato chips and cheap things like that.


    Gu Xia thought about it and added her favorite dish, fish head and shrimp slips in the order.


    After paying the money, Gu Xia returned to his seat.


    "Isn''t it cold in here?" Gu Xia asked, looking at Li Jingjing''s red face.


    "It''s not cold, it''s warm in this hot pot restaurant." Li Jingjing said softly.


    "You came so far, aunt didn''t stop you?" Gu Xia asked with a smile.


    "No, as soon as I told my mother that I wasing to visit you, she agreed." Li Jingjing said with a smile.


    "Alright. I''ll take you back after eating! You still have sses tomorrow." Gu Xia nodded and said.


    "Tomorrow is Saturday, there are no sses that day." Li Jingjing said softly.


    "Oh! that''s right, I''m all confused, mainly because the university sometimes has sses on Saturdays and Sundays." Gu Xia touched his nose and smiled.


    "Brother Xiao Xia, This is for this Christmas Eve." Li Jingjing took out a beautifully packaged box from her backpack and handed it to Gu Xia.


    Gu Xia didn''t need to look to know that there was an apple inside.


    "You silly girl, why did you have to go buy this thing? Its a waste of money, even if you want to buy it, I will buy it for you as your brother, so you dont have to buy it for me." Gu Xia said helplessly. (G: Very subtle Gu Xia. Good job!)


    "What''s wrong with it? I haven''t seen you for a long time. I''m thinking ofing to see you because I don''t have ss tomorrow." Li Jingjing smiled sweetly.


    "Hehe~ Come on, the food is here, eat it!" Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "The food service here is so quick!"


    "Well, that''s why I brought you here to eat. Unlike many restaurants, the service here is quite quick." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Hurry up and eat!"


    "You eat too, brother Xiao Xia."


    *****


    After eating, Gu Xia and Li Jingjing walked out of the hot pot restaurant, and a cold wind blew, Gu Xia couldn''t help shivering.


    "Lets go, Jingjing, I''ll take you home." Gu Xia rubbed his hands together.


    "Brother Gu Xia, do you hate me? Why are you driving me away right after dinner?" Li Jingjing''s face looked like she was about to cry.


    Gu Xia couldn''t helpughing bitterly, how could he drive her away! Seeing that her tears were about to fall, Gu Xia felt a huge headache, and hurriedly said, "Then I will send you backter, okay!"


    "Okay! Then why don''t you apany me to walk around your university?" Li Jingjing said with a smile that suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.


    Gu Xia looked at Li Jingjing who had a smile on her face, and couldn''t help but smile bitterly.


    Women, they could really turn their face faster than what it took to turn a book! The ancients never lie.


    "Let''s go! Let''s go! I''m afraid you''ll catch a cold."


    Now that he had agreed, what more was there to be done? Gu Xia could only take her to the university.

 Chapter 46: Hurtful snow

    Chapter 46: Hurtful snow


    Gu Xia took Li Jingjing into the university and walked around the scenic ces.


    The campus at the moment was quite the sight to behold.. The roads were full of fallen leaves, and the wind blew all around.


    There were couples sitting on the bench, snuggling together, talking sweet words of love.


    Gu Xia was walking in front of Li Jingjing, and when the wind blew, he tightened his woolen jacket, it was so cold!


    Maybe it was because they had juste out of the hot hot pot restaurant, and their body suddenly couldn''t ept the cold.


    Li Jingjing followed behind Gu Xia, her eyes constantly scanning the couple who were either snuggling or kissing and hugging, and then looked at Gu Xia''s figure. And, no one knew what came to her mind, her face suddenly flushed red.


    Gu Xia didn''t know what Li Jingjing was thinking behind his back. He felt a little cold all over, and he felt that it would be extremely cold at night.


    Gu Xia felt something fall on his face, looked up, and realized that it had started to snow.


    Snowkes fluttered down one after another, one by one.


    "Wow~ it''s snowing"


    "Yeah~ so beautiful"


    ""


    Everyone on the road cheered happily.


    "Brother Xiao Xia, it''s snowing, it''s so beautiful!" Li Jingjing shouted excitedly.


    "Well the weather forecast said that there would be snow in theing two days. I didn''t expect it to fall tonight." Gu Xiaughed.


    "Let''s go, the snowfall is getting a little heavy, I''ll take you back! Otherwise, you won''t be able to catch the bus when its time for you to go back." Gu Xia said.


    "Brother Xiao Xia, why do you keep urging me to go back, I don''t want to go back, why don''t you stay with me." Li Jingjing said softly with her small mouth deted.


    "It''s sote, it''s still snowing, auntie should be worried about you." Gu Xia said helplessly.


    "It''s okay, cant you see everyone is outside."


    Li Jingjing pointed to the couple and said.


    Gu Xia became speechless <em>Are they the same as us? When people are in love and hor*ny, let alone snow, even if it is hail, they can point to the hail outside and say, Ah, what a beautiful hail!</em>


    <em>Plus I''m almost freezing to death here, why would I want to apany you outside?</em>


    "Alright first, lets just walk for a while, and then I''ll take you home." Gu Xia said helplessly.


    "Yes. Thats more like it~"


    *****


    "Let''s go, Jingjing"


    "But Im not done looking around yet!"


    Gu Xia: ".."


    "Jingjing, it''s already 11 o''clock, let''s go, I''ll take you back." Gu Xia said irritably.


    "I''m not going back, I''ll go back tomorrow." Li Jingjing stared at Gu Xia and said.


    "How can that be? Why are you acting like this? Ill call your mother." Gu Xia said angrily. (G: Get the hint dude.)


    "Why are you getting angry? It''s rare for me to see you once, and I can''t even ask you to apany me, woohoo" Li Jingjing started crying.


    "But, it''s already sote, it''s so cold outside, and we''ve been walking for so long, you should go back, Jingjing." Gu Xia frowned without looking at her tearful face.


    "Brother Xiao Xia, don''t you really know what I mean?"


    Gu Xia was stunned when he heard Li Jingjing''s words. He also vaguely knew what Li Jingjing meant, but he didn''t expect her to say it directly. He thought that she was just acting spoiled, and she would go back after a while.


    <em>Haah!</em>


    I wasnt like he really didn''t feel attracted to Li Jingjing. It would be wrong to say that he didnt feel anything, but some things could only be kept in mind.


    <em>I already have my Sisi, so I cant do anything to feel guilty towards her!</em>


    If he epted Jingjing, it would not only hurt Sisi, but also Jingjing herself!


    "Jingjing, I understand your intentions, but your brother Xiao Xia already has a girlfriend, and you are still young. When you get older, you will find someone who really likes you." Gu Xia sighed.


    "Woooo"


    Li Jingjing heard his words and threw herself into Gu Xia''s arms.


    She kept beating his chest, crying in disbelief, "I don''t believe it, I don''t believe it"


    Gu Xia looked at Li Jingjing in his arms, feeling helpless at the situation.


    She might be feeling pain now, but it would slowly go away. Although it was cruel of him to say it now, it was better than saying itter. After some time passed, she would understand.


    "It''s true, I didn''t lie to you."


    "WooooWhy? Why? What''s wrong with me?" Li Jingjing raised her face, and looked at Gu Xia with tears streaming down her eyes.


    "No, you are good, but I already have someone I like." Gu Xia sighed.


    "Why? Didn''t you read the note I wrote to you?"


    "What note?" Gu Xia asked suspiciously.


    "Ha haI gave it to you, but you didn''t even take it apart at all." Li Jingjing smiled miserably.


    <em>Waitwas that?</em>


    <em>Those paper cranes? Did she write something on the paper?</em> (G: Romance defeated before the denseness of the protagonist!)


    <em>Forget it, whether I saw it or not, the oue was already set in stone.</em>


    "Hey Jingjing, you are still young, you don''t know what love is, and you wille to knowter."


    "Let''s go! I''ll take you back."


    Li Jingjing stepped back, shaking her head constantly and said while crying, "No need, I know how to go back."


    Li Jingjing had never imagined that it had always been her wishful thinking, and that her long-awaited dreams would just end up being dreams. She felt her heart getting cold, colder than all the snowkes.


    "Come on, I''ll take you home."


    Gu Xia grabbed Li Jingjing''s arm with a sullen face, and went to the side of the road, preparing to call a taxi to take her home. Otherwise, in her current state, if something happened, what would he do?


    "Let me go! Why do you care if I don''t go home? Who are you to me?" Li Jingjing shouted, she wanted to get rid of Gu Xia''s hand, but she couldn''t.


    Gu Xia pulled her into a taxi without saying a word. After getting into the car, Gu Xia told the taxi driver the location, and then leaned back on the seat. He looked at Li Jingjing, who was bowing her head, her expression covered by her hair.


    <em>Haah!</em>


    Gu Xia sighed in his heart, <em>This is really bad!''</em>


    Old Xue''s song came from the barber shop outside the university:


    "The snow is so cold and so hurtful


    It reflects my scars deep within


    That love in the dead of night


    It secretlypels my heart


    Reminds me my love for you


    Like a quiet melody


    It slowly eats my heart


    In love with you I lost myself


    A love so earnest, love so deep


    But I still heard you say it''s impossible"


    (G: "Hurtful Snow" is a song written,posed and sung by Xue Zhiqian.)


    Gu Xia started to hate this barbershop. <em>Dont you have nothing else to do than ying some songs on the stereo at the entrance? And why don''t you y some happy songs, why are you ying such a sad song?</em>


    Gu Xia sighed again in his heart.


    Unexpectedly, the person Li Jingjing liked was actually him, so did she also like him in her previous life? It''s just that he didn''t go to the university in his previous life, and married Sisi quite early, so she didn''t get to confess.


    <em>After this girl goes to the university, will she jump off the building tomit suicide after being hurt by a scumbag, like her previous life?</em>


    Thinking of this, Gu Xias mood became more and more irritated, and he didn''t know how to make Li Jingjing see the light.


    When he was first reborn, when he didn''t know that Tu Sisi was also reborn, he really thought about chasing girls everywhere like the protagonists in those novels, but


    These were things that were better left in thoughts!


    No one spoke along the way.


    At the door of Gu Xia''s house.


    After watching the silent Li Jingjing open the door and go home, Gu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and then opened the door of his own house. Everyone in the family had fallen asleep. Gu Xia silently entered, and fortunately he didn''t wake up his parents.


    Back in his room, Gu Xia''s heart was still a little irritable. He called Tu Sisi and wanted to talk to her, but her phone was turned off.


    Gu Xia threw the phone on the bed, then undressed and dug into the quilt.


    Gu Xia looked at the dark bed and sighed, "What a bad day!"


    <strong>Goblin: </strong>Whooohthat was quite the feel. But I must say that the protagonist did the right thing.

 Chapter 47: Snow

    Chapter 47: Snow


    Gu Xia fell asleep in such a dazed state.


    *****


    America.


    Tu Sisi looked at the crowd on the street. There were cheers everywhere, many people danced and sang on the street, it was so lively.


    Tu Sisi went back to her apartment, which was rented by Hu Chao. Originally, Hu Chao didnt want to let Tu Sisi rent it, but after Tu Sisi''s repeated insistence, he agreed.


    However, Hu Chao also spent several times the money next door to Tu Sisi, chased away the renters next door, and lived next door to Tu Sisi.


    Tu Sisi was also helpless about this. But what could she do if he was so rich? It was useless to tell him to stop, so she just let him be.


    Tu Sisi took out her mobile phone and connected it to the charger. Last night, her mobile phone was powered off due to its charge running out. Then Tu Sisi took out the textbook from her backpack to read.


    In addition to going to Professor Smith for treatment for more than a month, she had also been an auditor at a reputed university in New York. Of course, it was only because of Hu Chao''s connections that she could get in. Otherwise, Tu Sisi could only go to an ordinary university. To study at such a renowned university, although it was as an auditor, was not something just anyone could do. An average person wouldn''t even be able to get in at all. (G: An audit is an educational term for thepletion of a course of study for which no assessment of the performance of the student is made nor grade awarded  wiki)


    And Hu Chao also continued to stick to Tu Sisi''s side every day. Tu Sisi was starting to feel very annoyed with him now. He followed her like a stalker every day, and he always tried to confess affectionately at every chance he got, which made Tu Sisi feel a headache whenever she saw him.


    Tu Sisi saw that the screen of the mobile phone was on, so she turned on the mobile phone, saw a notification, and clicked it. It turned out that it was a missed call from Gu Xia.


    He must have called her when her phone had shut down. And so, she hurriedly called back.


    "Ring! Ring! Ring!"


    Gu Xia was sleepingfortably in the quilt when suddenly the phone rang. He grabbed the phone in a daze and pressed the answer button.


    "Hello who is it?"


    "It''s me, are you sleeping?"


    Gu Xia rubbed his eyes, woke up from his daze, and said with a smile, "Yah. I just dozed off. What are you doing? Didn''t you go out to have fun?"


    "It''s nothing fun, although it''s very lively outside, but you''re not here, so I''m not in the mood." Tu Sisi said softly.


    "Hehe, isn''t there Hu Chao? He didn''t he agree to apany you? Isn''t he clinging to you every day?" Gu Xiaughed.


    "Don''t mention him, I feel upset whenever I think of him. He''s really annoying. He confessed to me with a bunch of flowers this morning, and I had to scold him. I live here alone without you by my side. Nothing makes sense." (G: Poor Hu Chao.)


    "Haha~ I''m going to have a holiday soon. I''ll go find you during the holiday and apany you to your heart''s content." Gu Xia smiled.


    "I wish time passed faster! We haven''t seen each other for such a long time, I miss you so much!" Tu Sisi said softly.


    "I miss you too. Wait a while longer. It''s going to be a holiday soon. My passport is ready. I''ll take a flight to find you when I''m on holiday."


    "Um~ I''ll wait for you."


    "How about your studies?" Gu Xiaughed.


    "Very good, how about you?"


    "Me? Same old. Although I''m studying very hard, but I still can''t get better." Gu Xia said helplessly.


    He couldn''t figure it out either. He listened carefully to every ss and took notes, but his grades were always in the middle of the ss. He couldn''t get better or worse. Maybe he just wasn''t born to be a schr!


    Gu Xia envied those schrs regardless of his past or present life, but s, he didn''t have that kind of qualification.


    "It''s okay, you haven''t been to university before anyway, so you should make up for the regrets of your previous life! As long as you study hard, it''s fine." Tu Sisi smiled.


    "Well, that''s right, anyway, it''s enough if I learn enough for my own use."


    "Good~ Gu Xia, I really want to eat Jiangbei''s duck sauce and rice noodles. I haven''t eaten it for a long time." Tu Sisi said coquettishly.


    "Haha~ I''ll bring it to you when I go there, and then I''ll let you eat your fill." Gu Xiaughed.


    "But I want to eat now, what should I do? "


    "What should I do? So, how about I send it to you tomorrow?" Gu Xia said helplessly.


    "No need, I just said that on a whim. I can buy a lot of duck sauce with the money you send, or you can bring it to me when youe over!" Tu Sisiughed.


    What she wanted was Gu Xia''s intention, not to eat duck sauce and rice noodles.


    "It doesn''t cost much. You can eat what you want. I have money on my body now."


    "No, it wouldn''t taste good for me to eat alone. I want you to bring it over to feed me, just like before." Tu Sisi said tenderly.


    "Hehe~ good, Ill do that"


    Gu Xia remembered that when they first got married, the two stuck together like glue every day. Tu Sisi often wanted to eat duck sauce. And, every time Gu Xia bought it home, Tu Sisi coquettishly asked Gu Xia to feed her.


    "When the timees, I''m going to feed you, not only your stomach, but I will also feed you in other ces, hehe" Gu Xia said with a smile. (G: Yah, he said that in that meaning.)


    "Hateful~ Cant you feel at ease if you don''t act like a hooligan in every three sentences. You are so annoying!." Tu Sisi said angrily.


    "Haha~ Okay, I won''t say anything, okay? Is it cold where you are? You have to pay attention to keep yourself warm, alright?" Gu Xiaughed.


    "Yup. Jiangbei must be very cold at this time right?" Tu Sisi said softly.


    "Well, it''s snowing outside. It''s quite heavy. ording to the weather forecast, it''s going to snow for two or three days."


    "It''s snowing! s~ it''s a pity that I''m not in Jiangbei. It would be great if I could see the snow. The temperature here is only 10 degrees Celsius. I don''t know if it will snow this winter. I really want to see the snow!" Tu Sisi Said with envy.


    "Hehe, I will take a picture and send it to you tomorrow, that way you will be able to see it. Although the snow is beautiful, it''s very cold! I don''t like winter the most. I feel like Ill freeze to death."


    "You should wear more clothes, you got that? Don''t act like a child like you used to in our previous life. You wore such thin clothes, I still remember you shivering all day at that time, and you said you were not cold at all. , hehe~"


    Gu Xia also smiled when he heard her words. In his previous life, he saw other young people wearing shirts and suits in winter, and he wore them too. Which made him get runny noses every day in the cold winter, and he shivered when he walked outside. Thinking about it again, he was really naive! But that time was full of happy memories.


    "How dare I wear thin clothes! I''m all wearing autumn clothes, long pants and a wool sweater. I am smarter now, and there''s no need to wear clothes like that." Gu Xiaughed.


    "Well~ that''s good, I''m not with you, so you have to take care of yourself and don''t forget anything." Tu Sisi urged.


    "Got it, you too, take care of yourself, it''s best if you be a little chubby while in the United States."


    "Hmph~ It''s alright, I don''t want to be fat." Tu Sisi said angrily.


    "Hehe~ as long as you are fine."


    "Alright, go to sleep, I''m going to have lunch too, I''m so hungry."


    "Hmm~"


    (G: *puke* That conversation was enough to make me, a single goblin, contemte on my solitude.)


    *****


    After hanging up the phone, Gu Xia suddenly couldn''t fall asleep anymore. He wanted to sleep very much at first, but Tu Sisis voice kept resurfacing in his mind.


    Gu Xia suddenly thought of something, he got up and put on his clothes, opened the door lightly, and came downstairs. At this time, the snow on the ground was already quite thick. Gu Xia turned on the sh to take a few photos, and then built a snowman. He found a few branches and stones to make the hands, eyes and nose of the snowman, and took a few pictures again. Then he checked all the pictures, and returned to the bed satisfied.


    He sent the photos to Tu Sisi''s mailbox. After sending it, he sent her a text message asking her to check the mailbox before putting down the phone and continuing to sleep.

 Chapter 48: Buying a car

    Chapter 48: Buying a car


    America.


    Tu Sisi was cooking at home. After she moved here, she cooked by herself. Firstly, it was clean and hygienic, and secondly, she cooked her food to suit her own taste.


    Tu Sisi scrambled a tomato scrambled egg, a braised octopus, and then filled the bowl with rice. Then she sat on the dining table and ate happily.


    Tu Sisi said to herself, "Good~ My craftsmanship has improved a lotpared to my previous life. When Gu Xiaes, he will be surprised when he eats my food, hehe~"


    Tu Sisi felt a sense of satisfaction while eating the meal she made.


    "Ding Dong!"


    "Sisi, open the door."


    When Tu Sisi heard Hu Chao''s voice, her expression turned to one that was full of helplessness.


    <em>This guy came again, and he is so annoying! Why didn''t she realize that Hu Chao was so thick-skinned before? Hes really</em>


    After Tu Sisi opened the door, she continued to sit down to eat, nced at Hu Chao, saw him sitting down with a smile, and pouted.


    "What are you eating? Great, I didn''t eat either, will you mind if we eat together?" Hu Chaoughed.


    "Eat, if you want to eat"


    Hu Chao filled a bowl of rice, then sat down to eat, looked at Tu Sisi and said with a smile, "Sisi, the food you cook is so delicious, it tastes better than my mother''s, hehe~"


    "Really? Eat more if it''s delicious!"


    "Mmmmm~"


    *****


    The next day, Gu Xia woke up early and had to go to ss.


    Today he specially wore a down jacket, because yesterday he wore a woolen jacket, but he was nearly frozen to death.


    "Oh, brother, why are you back?"


    Gu Qin looked at Gu Xia who walked out of the door and asked in surprise.


    "I came backst night." Gu Xia touched his nose and said.


    "Oh~ Have some porridge! Mom and Dad have already gone to work." Gu Qin nodded and said.


    Gu Xia quickly drank a bowl of porridge, and when he was about to go out to the university, he heard Gu Qin say, "Brother, give me some money, I have no pocket money."


    "Hmmokay!"


    Gu Xia took out his wallet, there were two thousand yuan in it, and he took out five hundred.


    "Here~ Ill give it to you, but don''t waste money!" Gu Xia urged.


    "Understood, I''m not a child." Gu Qin said with dissatisfaction and took the money, her face full of smiles.


    "Yea~ Now I can go and buy that down jacket that I have been interested in for a long time. I begged mom for a long time, but she won''t buy it for me. Thanks, brother." Gu Qin said happily.


    "Hehe, here you go, I''ll give you another two hundred, as long as you don''t mess around, you can buy as much food and clothes as you want, I''m leaving."


    Gu Xia gave Gu Qin another two hundred yuan, and then went out. Originally, Gu Xia wanted to give her the two thousand in his wallet, but after thinking that she was only in her third year in high school, he judged that it was not a good idea to give her that much money. Although he knew that his sister would not spend money indiscriminately, but two thousand was way too much pocket money for a high school student. Gu Xia always felt it was a little inappropriate.


    Anyway, she would ask him herself if she has no money, and he could just give it to her next time.


    Gu Xia went downstairs, and it was still snowing heavily outside. The snow on the ground was so thick that his shoe would sink in just by stepping on it .


    The snowman Gu Xia made was still there, and a few children were ying around the snowman.


    Gu Xia smiled, and then walked slowly through a road where many sanitation workers were shoveling the snow.


    Gu Xia looked at the road and saw that there were no cars, let alone taxis.


    Feeling helpless, Gu Xia had to walk to the bus station not far away. As there was no way to get a taxi, he had to take the bus even though it would be very slow.


    He had to go to ss. When he needed to travel to the city, he could just take a taxi. There should be more taxis in the city than here. Otherwise, he would have to transfer 3 times by bus. That would cause him to bete for ss.


    When he arrived at the university gate, it was already veryte, and there were only 15 minutes remaining before the ss started. Gu Xia hurried to the ssroom. When he got into the ssroom, the bell rang.


    <em>That was close! I was almostte.</em>


    "Why are you sote today?" Xu Mengying asked.


    "I went homest night, but I couldn''t get a taxi in the morning when it snowed. I couldn''t help it." Gu Xia shook the snow on his body and said helplessly.


    "Oh, so thats the case. You alwayse to ss very early, it is the first time you came sote." Xu Mengying nodded.


    "Okay, herees the teacher."


    *****


    At night, Gu Xia got a call from Xu Fan.


    "Hey, Brother Xu, what''s the matter?" Gu Xia, who was reading a book, asked.


    "It''s like this. At present, the App of our external tform is almost finished. It will be ready in a few days. You have no sses on weekends, so why dont youe over to see how its going. By the way, have you bought a car?" Xu Fan asked.


    "I haven''t bought one yet. I''ll take a look at the car tomorrow, buy the car as soon as possible, and then drive to the capital." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Well, good. You have to do that as soon as possible. You may be asked toe here often in the future. After all, you came up with this project, and many things still require you toe and see."


    "I know, Brother Xu, I will deal with it as soon as possible." Gu Xia replied.


    "Alright, that''s it, let''s talk about other things when youe in a few days!"


    "Okay, good bye."


    After hanging up the phone, Gu Xia wondered what car should he buy?


    Should he buy a domestic car? No, the domestic cars right now were not as good as they would be in the future, whether be it in quality or appearance. So he had to either buy a coboration or an imported car.


    First of all Gu Xia removed the cars from Jap*n and Kor*a, these two countries. Gu Xia didn''t like the cars from these two countries because of their tendency to cut corners, and being too brittle as a result. Although many people liked their fuel-saving feature, but do they ever think about why they were fuel-efficient? Isnt it because they were too light?


    So Gu Xia has never been interested in the cars of these two countries. In his previous life, Gu Xia had bought a Chevrolet Miraibao, so Gu Xia was thinking about what car to buy this time. In addition to the 200,000 he gave to his father, he also had 70 More than 90,000. Gu Xia thought about it for a long time, but could not decide what car to buy.


    He wanted to buy a Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi, but the good quality imported ones were very expensive. Gu Xia liked Mercedes-Benz''s Big G, but the Big G cost at least one million yuan, which was the cheapest.


    He didnt really want to buy cheap ones. Gu Xia decided to stop thinking so hard and go to the 4S store the next day to take a look. He wanted to take a look at some cars first. (G: 4S Shop is an automobile dealership authorized by an automobile manufacturer to engage in the four businesses rting to sales, spare parts, service and survey.)


    The next day, Gu Xia came to Cheyou Road in the urban area. This road was full of 4S shops for selling cars. Gu Xia advanced to the Mercedes-Benz 4S shop.


    The beauty at the door weed him with a smile on her face, "Wee, sir, do you want to buy a car?"


    "Yes."


    "Hello, I''m the sales manager of our shop. My name is Wu Dan. You can call me Xiao Wu. Pleasee in first. We have a full range of Mercedes-Benz models. I''ll show you first." Wu Dan said enthusiastically.


    Gu Xia nodded, then walked into the 4S shop. There were several people looking at cars, and almost all of them were middle aged. Gu Xia was the youngest one here.


    "Sir, what would you like to drink? We have ck tea, green tea, coffee, chrysanthemum tea"


    Gu Xia heard Wu Dan''s list of drinks, and couldn''t help but smile and said, "No need, just give me a ss of warm water."


    "Okay, wait a minute, I''ll be right here."


    Gu Xia looked around. There were many models in this hall. There were C series, E series, and S series models that were quitemon.


    Suddenly Gu Xia saw a white Maybach. He walked over and saw that it was a Maybach S300. Its price was nearly 2 million! Gu Xia swallowed hard, it was really expensive!


    At this time period, there were no S600 or Big G, and this Maybach S300 was the representative of luxury cars at the moment!

 Chapter 49: We can shake the car

    Chapter 49: We can shake the car


    "Sir, here is your warm water."


    Gu Xia, who was sitting in the Maybach, heard the words. He came out to take the water, and thanked her.


    "Sir, are you interested in thistest Maybach S300?" Wu Danughed.


    "I like it, but I can''t afford it!" Gu Xia looked at the price again and said helplessly.


    "Then in what price range are you looking to buy?"


    Gu Xia calcted a little in his heart. He currently has 790,000 yuan. He must keep a little money in his hand, and he also couldn''t buy a car that was too cheap. In the future, he would definitely have to go to thepany quite often. As one of the shareholders, it would not look that good if his car did not match his status. And, if he wanted to buy an eptable car, he needed to buy a car that was worth at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. That way he wouldn''t need to change the car in the short term.


    "Hmmm I n to buy a car within the price range of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. Do you have any rmendations?" Gu Xia finished thinking about it and asked.


    "Then you can take a look at thetest Mercedes-Benz E200. It is thetest model now. The price range is between 520,000 and 800,000 yuan. Come here please, I will show you the car." Sales manager Wu Dan said with a smile .


    She thought that this young man who seemed a little too young, would buy a cheaper C-series Mercedes-Benz. After all, many young people liked to show off, and the Mercedes-Benz C-series was much cheaper than other models, and it looked cooler. In addition, Mercedes-Benz was now being domestically produced, so the price was much lower.


    She didn''t expect him to buy a Mercedes-Benz E-series. Generally, only middle-aged people liked to drive spacious cars like the E-series. Because the E-series were more business-oriented, it was more suited for them.


    Gu Xia followed Wu Dan to the side of the Mercedes-Benz E200, and saw the slender ck sedan. It had a business-like atmosphere and arge space inside.


    Gu Xia was quite satisfied. Gu Xia also liked the strong business style of this car. The most important thing was that it had arge space and wasfortable to sit in.


    <em>Maybe I can shake it with Sisi in the future </em>(G: Hes talking about cars*x.)


    Gu Xia got a strange feeling just thinking about it.


    "What do you think of this car?"


    "Well, it''s quite good, how much is the configuration of this car now?" Gu Xia asked, pointing to the car in front of him.


    "This is afortable version of the E200. The bare car price is 543,000 yuan, and it will cost nearly 600,000 yuan altogether." Wu Dan said with a smile.


    Gu Xia nodded. This price was still within his eptable range. The price of E200 was not so high in his future, but the price of cars in this era was generally quite high.


    "Alright, I chose this one!"


    "Okay, pleasee with me. I''ll fill out the form for you first, and then go through other formalities." Wu Dan said happily.


    Gu Xia followed her, filled out the form, gave her his driver''s license and ID card, and then waited for her toplete the formalities. After that he took out his credit card and swiped to pay.


    "Mr. Gu, the Mercedes-Benz E200 is already avable in our warehouse. It arrivedst week. It just so happens that the modified China Version you want is also avable. Come with me, and I will take you to the vehicle management section to select the license te." Sales manager Wu Dan said with her trademark smile.


    "Hmm."


    As for the modification of the grill, an additional 20,000 yuan was added for that. The grill on the front of the Mercedes-Benz E200 had a big triangle logo, and what Gu Xia added with the money was the modified version, which was the standard Mercedes-Benz logo.


    There was a saying that if you don''t have the standard logo when driving a Mercedes-Benz, it was better not to drive it at all. Gu Xia also thought so. The standard logo was a symbol of high-end Mercedes-Benz.


    Coming to the warehouse, Gu Xia saw a brand-new E200 parked there. Its ck body looked elegant and noble. Gu Xia nodded with satisfaction.


    "Let''s go! Mr. Gu, I''ll apany you to the DMV to get your license te."


    "Okay"


    Gu Xia opened the driver''s door and got in. Since it was brand new, the car had a fresh smell. After that Gu Xia inserted the key and started the car.


    Gu Xia was still a little unskilled in using this Mercedes-Benz with manual transmission, after all, none of the cars he drove before had manual transmission.


    After Gu Xia got out of the 4S shop, he stepped on the elerator, and the speed of the car suddenly soared.


    When he arrived at the DMV, Gu Xia chose a Jiang AT1009 license te. In this era, there were not many cars, so the license te selection was much better than it would be in the future.


    Jiang was the abbreviation of Jiangbei Province, A was for Jiangbei City, as for the T1009, T was the initials of Tu Sisi''s Tu, and 1009 was Tu Sisi''s birthday, which was on October 9th.


    Gu Xia looked at the license te with satisfaction. <em>When Sisi sees it, she will definitely be very moved.</em>


    After finishing everything, Gu Xia drove back to the university after filling up at the gas station. When he entered the university, it caused quite themotion.


    Gu Xia ignored the envious and jealous eyes. He drove back to university not to show off, but to park safely in the university. The parking spaces here were all used by teachers and leaders of the school, so there were security guards here and he didn''t have to spend money on parking as well. If he parked outside, the car might get scratched, and that would be annoying. Although the car was insured, but who wanted to have their car scratched?


    When he returned to the dormitory, the three of his friends were not there. Gu Xia recalled that they had a ss this morning.


    He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was 11:00 am, and it was almost time for lunch. Gu Xia sent a message to all three of them, saying that he would be treating them to a meal together at noon, to celebrate the first car he bought in his life!


    Gu Xia leaned on the bed and dialed Tu Sisis number, and sent her the photo of the license te he had taken beforehand.


    "Hey, Sisi, what are you doing?"


    [I was about to sleep.] Tu Sisi saidzily, leaning on the bed. She was wearing a silk nightgown, which showed off her beautiful curves, but unfortunately no one was there to appreciate it.


    "I went to buy a car today, a Mercedes-Benz." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    [You bought a car! And you bought a Mercedes-Benz so quickly, are you so corrupt?] Tu Sisi asked in surprise.


    "Why would I be corrupt? I just bought the Mercedes-Benz E-series. Unfortunately, the money was not enough, otherwise I would have bought a Maybach." Gu Xia pouted.


    [Just the Mercedes-Benz E-series? Heee~ Even your tone has changed now that your thighs have gotten quite thick, hehe~] Tu Sisiughed jokingly.


    Gu Xia smiled and said, "You should see the license te I chose, I''m sure you will be surprised."


    [What license te? It won''t be five eighths or five sixes, right?]


    "What kind of person do you think I am, how can I have that kind of license te?" Gu Xia rubbed his nose with a wry smile.


    A license te with five eighths or five sixes, would be even more expensive than his car!


    And could that kind of license te even be obtained by ordinary people? Those kinds of license tes were exclusive to some big shots!


    [Hehe~ why did you buy a Mercedes-Benz? Didn''t you say that you would buy a Volkswagen Passat likest time?]


    "I thought about it for a bit, and realized that I was a legal shareholder of apany now, and thepany was sure to make money. Wouldnt I lose face if I bought a cheap car? That Brother Xu of mine drives a Bentley as well! That''s why I bought a Mercedes-Benz after thinking about it." Gu Xiaughed.


    [Yeah~ also, you have to buy one for me in the future. I want to drive a sports car and ride like Hu Chao''s Lamborghini every day. You must buy one for me in the future.] Tu Sisi said tenderly.


    "Okay~ I''ll buy it for you when thepany makes money." Gu Xia smiled.


    [How is your Mercedes-Benz? It must be great! It''s a pity that I''m not in Jiangbei. Otherwise, I would also know how it''s like to drive a Mercedes-Benz too.]


    "It''s very good, and quite spacious. It''s veryfortable to sit in, and there''s also a refrigerator inside. I''ll take you for a drive and drink in the future. We can shake the car as well, hehe~" Gu Xia smiled.


    "Shake what?" Tu Sisi asked suspiciously. After asking, she suddenly realized what he meant. Two people shaking the car. Isn''t it just that kind of car shaking? She immediately blushed and said, [You are acting like a hooligan again~]


    "Howe~ Isn''t that normal? We haven''t tried it yet. Let''s try itter?"


    [I won''t try it with you, you can try it with someone else! Hmph~] Tu Sisi shyly hummed.


    "Then I will really try with someone else~"


    [You dare? If you dare to find someone else, I''ll chop up your thing, hum~] Tu Sisi sneered.


    Gu Xia felt his chrysanthemum tighten when he heard her words. He felt a sudden cold breeze in his crotch, and hurriedly looked at it, fortunately, his little bro was still there.


    "I''m joking, I''ll only do it with you! Besides, I''m not that kind of person!" Gu Xia hurriedly defended himself.


    She can''t be offended, definitely not! If she really gets mad, he won''t be able to save his little bro!


    [Hmph~ You better not dare! Ha~ Okay, I''m feeling sleepy, so I''m hanging up.] Tu Sisi said with a yawn.


    "Alright~ good night, have a sweet dream!"


    [Hmph~ you didn''t say you love me.]


    "I love you, alright! Now go to sleep!"


    [Alright~ I love you too!]


    After hanging up, Gu Xia rubbed his nose with a wry smile. Ever since that incident fromst month, every time Tu Sisi hung up the phone, he had to say I love you, I miss you so much, etc. It was not even enough to not say it once!

 Chapter 50: Back to the countryside

    Chapter 50: Back to the countryside


    America.


    Tu Sisi didn''t fall asleep right away, she remembered the picture of the license te Gu Xia told her about. As soon as she clicked on the picture, her eyes suddenly became wet.


    "That fool"


    "Why do I feel so moved!"


    Tu Sisi was truly very moved. She could see the meaning of the license te number at a nce.


    And the most important thing was that Gu Xia still remembered what he said to her in their previous life.


    It was not long after the two got married. Gu Xia wanted to buy a car, so he asked his father for some money, and then bought a car on mortgage. When it was time to choose the license te number, she had said to Gu Xia, "Husband, it would be nice if the license te number was my birthday, that would make me very happy."


    Unfortunately, the number was not avable back then. And now, Gu Xia unexpectedly still remembered the words she had said such a long time ago. Tu Sisi felt so touched that she had the urge to cry.


    If Gu Xia were here, Tu Sisi reckoned that she would throw him on the bed, and satisfy him every way he wanted.


    Women were always such emotional creatures.


    It''s a pity that Gu Xia didn''t know what Tu Sisi was thinking now, otherwise he would have flown to the United States immediately and ask Tu Sisi to help him unlock a new posture.


    *****


    Soon, it was lunchtime.


    Liu Shu and Wang Qun came back to the dormitory first. Seeing Gu Xia, Wang Qun smiled and said, "Third bro, what''s the good news today! Why are you suddenly inviting us to dinner? Did your girlfriende back? Did you draw first blood? "


    He knew that Gu Xia''s girlfriend was studying abroad, and Wang Qun deliberately joked about that.


    "Fu*k you, you should be careful of your mouth if you want to eat dinner." Gu Xia scolded him with a ck line on his forehead.


    "Hehe, well go when the fourth broes back. Anyway, there is no ss in the afternoon. It''s freezing cold today. It''s much colder than in the north. The cold doesnt fall a dozen degrees below zero like this on the bank of Songhua River. In winter we just wear a few more clothes, that''s it. The humidity in Jiangbei is too heavy, and the cold is digging into the bones. We''ll need some liquor to warm upter." Liu Shu rubbed his hands andined.


    "Haha~ that''s how the south is, the humidity is heavy." Gu Xiaughed.


    "Yo~ You guys are so fast!" Li Wen appeared at the door with his arms around Song Yiyi.


    "You think everyone is like you? Not everyone has a girlfriend to hug!" Wang Qun pouted.


    "You are a typical example of not being able to eat grapes and saying that the grapes are sour. Why, you and Li Feifei haven''t made it that far yet?" Li Wenughed.


    "Wang Qun, I heard Feifei say that you haven''t been looking for her recently! What''s going on? Didn''t you guys hit it off some time ago?" Song Yiyiughed.


    "Hahh I always feel that she treats me like an ordinary friend. She''s quite indifferent, we haven''t made much progress. Hell, we haven''t even held hands. I don''t want to chase anymore, I''m too tired." Wang Qun said with a sigh.


    "Youyou really don''t understand a girl''s heart! Feifei said that you don''t know how to take the initiative in what you do. Do you want the girl to take the initiative? If you want to hold her hand, or kiss her, you have to take the initiative, you can''t just expect the other party to take the initiative! Wang Qun, you are usually so eloquent, so why are you so slow in this regard?" Yiyi pouted.


    "II" Wang Qun''s face was flushed at the words, he wanted to refute but didn''t know how to refute.


    "Haha~"


    Gu Xia and the othersughed when they saw him act like that.


    The five came to a restaurant at the gate of the university, ordered a few dishes, and then the four of them drank wine and bragged.


    They didn''t go back to the dormitory until they were a little drunk.


    Gu Xiay in bed and slept until midnight. Then he got up and ate something, and continued to sleep. It was snowing quite a lot this winter, he really didn''t know what else to do other than sleeping, it was just too cold outside.


    The next day, Gu Xia received a call from his father early in the morning, saying that the old house of their grandfather''s house in the countryside had been crushed by the snow.


    Originally, his father had long offered that the old house should be demolished and rebuilt as a one-story house, but his grandfather disagreed, saying that it was still possible to live in, so it would be a waste of money.


    Who knew that the heavy snow umtion for several days this month crushed the house. Fortunately, his grandparents went out to visit and were not injured. Otherwise, if the two old couples were to be crushed by the house, then it would be a disaster.


    Gu Xia took a day off. It just so happened that the next day and the day after that would be a holiday, and so there was no need to go to ss. The university curriculum has also been reduced a little in the past few days.


    Gu Xia walked to the university parking space and was about to clear the snow on the car that had umted for the past two days. Seeing the security guard standing in the shed next to the parking space, Gu Xia walked over, took out a cigare*te and handed it over. Then he said with a smile, "It''s really hard to work on this snowy day,e and have a cigare*te."


    "Hehe, it''s okay. When I was in the army, it was more than minus 20 degrees in the north, and I had to stand in the snow all day." The security took the cigare*te and smiled.


    Gu Xia sincerely gave him a thumbs up and nodded with admiration.


    "Are you going out?"


    "Yes, Im going back to the countryside for a visit." Gu Xia replied.


    "I''ll help you clear the snow, otherwise you''ll have to clear the snow for a long time alone." said the security guard.


    "Thank you then."


    It took them more than ten minutes to clear the snow from the car. After all, the snow was too thick and it was frozen solid.


    Gu Xia took a pack of King Furong (cigare*te) from the car and gave it to the security guard. After thanking him for his help, he started the car. He sat in the car for a moment, and waited for the engine to get hot before leaving, otherwise the engine would be damaged.


    Gu Xia wanted to go home first to pick up his mother. His father would go back to the countryside by himself first.


    Gu Xia didn''t drive too fast along the way. After all, the road was slippery on snowy days, and even if he didn''t have an ident, he couldn''t guarantee that others would not have an ident while driving. He had to drive slowly and be safe.


    Arriving downstairs, Gu Xia took out his mobile phone and called his mother.


    "Hey Mom, I''m downstairs,e down!"


    [Okay, I''lle down now.]


    Gu Xia opened the car window, lit a cigare*te, and turned on the music in the car.


    Deng Ling, who had juste downstairs, saw Gu Xia sitting in a Mercedes-Benz. Deng Ling''s first reaction was that Gu Xia rented it from somewhere. Or, he had borrowed it from a friend. After all, he was a university student, and it was normal for him to know a friend who drove a Mercedes-Benz.


    "Xia Xia, where did you get this car? You rented it? Why did you have to rent a car just to go back to the countryside! It''s a waste of money, when did you be such a spendthrift? Let me tell you, this is not a good habit, you understand?" Deng Ling said with a frown.


    Gu Xia touched his nose when he heard her words, and smiled bitterly. He took out the driving license from the armrest box and gave it to his mother, and said, "Mom, you see, this is not rented, I bought it."


    Deng Ling took the driver''s license and looked at it. It was indeed her son''s name. Her expression changed and she asked sharply, "How could you have the money to buy such a good car? Last time you paid 200,000 to your father, I was a little suspicious. This time you also bought a Mercedes-Benz. Did you do something illegal outside?"


    Gu Xia was helpless, and sighed. But he couldn''t me his mother. If any parents saw their son who was studying in university, sending money back home and buying a Mercedes-Benz, it was normal for them to be suspicious. Gu Xia also understood his mother''s thoughts.


    Fortunately, he was already prepared, so he took out his mobile phone and searched for "Modu Lingyun Technology Co. Ltd." on the Inte.


    Then he said, "Mom, didn''t I sayst time that I did some business with a friend? Look at this Modu Lingyun Technology Co. Ltd., I am a legal shareholder of thispany. My friend paid for the project, and I earned some money during this period of time. So I only paid 200,000 to Dad, and I will often have to go to the capital in the future, so I bought a car. Dont you understand your son? Am I the kind of person who could go astray and do bad things? "


    Deng Ling looked at the information of the Modu Lingyun Technology Co. Ltd. and heard what her son said, and only then she felt relieved, and said with an assured expression, "That''s good, you can''t go astray you understand? Although our family is not rich, but we are not short of money. It is good for you to start apany with your friends and earn money, but your studies cant be ignored, understand?


    "Got it, Mom, don''t worry, get in the car!" Gu Xia replied with a smile.


    Although his mother was nagging, she was also doing it for his own good, so Gu Xia was not impatient at all. If it were in his previous life, he would have interrupted his mother long ago.


    "I hope so. Ahh This car isfortable, much morefortable than your dad''s car." Deng Ling said while sitting in the car, feeling it around.


    Gu Xia smiled, can the Volkswagen Touranpare with the Mercedes-Benz E200? They were not even at the same level at all, okay? In addition, Mercedes-Benz was famous for itsfort, and it should be morefortable to sit onpared to others.

 Chapter 51: To the capital

    Chapter 51: To the capital


    Gu Xia''s hometown could be considered a part of a new district, but it was more than an hour away from the district. More urately, it was on the edge of the new district. It was near a small town called Shigang Town, and there were about 40,000 to 50,000 people living in it.


    Gu Xia drove the car on the highway, and halfway through his mother fell asleep, because the heater in the car was veryfortable. Even Gu Xia had to take off his down jacket, or he would get sweaty.


    Gu Xia saw that his mother was asleep, so he turned off the music, then opened the car window and lit a cigarette.


    There was a vast expanse of white everywhere along the road. There was not much snow on the road because of cars and other vehicles, but the snow on both sides of the road was already about ten centimeters thick.


    Gu Xia saw a gas station on the side. It was built a long time ago and was quite old. It was crushed by snow, and police and firefighters were already cleaning it up.


    The snowfall was really heavy this year! It was said that the snow was auspicious and a sign of a good year, but when the snowfall was this heavy, it would not be auspicious anymore, but a disaster.


    Gu Xia passed Shigang Town and came to his home in the Gujia Vige. When he arrived at his grandfather''s house, Gu Xia woke up his mother, and then got out of the car and saw that the roof of his grandfather''s house had copsed.


    "Oh! Isn''t this Gu Xia? You made a fortune outside? You even bought a Mercedes-Benz!"


    "Yeah! Don''t you go to the university? And you''re even doing a big business!"


    ""


    Gu Xia was a little embarrassed to hear the uncles and aunties near his grandfather''s house constantly praising him, after all, he didn''t get this kind of treatment in his previous life!


    Gu Xia said hello to the uncles and aunts, and then walked away to his dad and grandpa who were clearing snow and moving things out of the house.


    "Dad, Grandpa!"


    Gu Xia shouted, and then joined the process of cleaning up.


    "Xia Xia is here? You go and take a rest. You are a university student and have never done any heavy work. I''ll just get it done with your dad." Grandpa waved his hand at him.


    "It''s okay, Grandpa."


    Gu Xia said with a smile. After speaking, he went to find a shovel and started digging the snow. It had to be said that the snow was quite heavy, and after a while, Gu Xia was sweating and hurriedly put the down jacket on. He took off his sweater and put it on the car and continued digging.


    Many things in the house were buried under the snow, including the savings of his grandparents, as well as household appliances and furniture.


    The three kept digging until noon, and put everything in his second grandfather''s house, and ate at the second grandfather''s house at noon.


    Gu Feng went to contact the constructionpany after dinner and was going to build a new house on the spot. Originally Gu Feng had been asking his parents toe live in the city, but Gu Xia''s grandfather said, "I have lived here all my life, and my father, grandfather and great-grandfather have lived here for generations. This is my root! There are so many old guys here, I have so many memories, so why should I go to the city? I wouldnt know what to do if I went out in the city. But here, I can talk and eat with everyone every time I go out. I will not go, our old couple lived here all our life, and we will die here in the future."


    Seeing that there was no way to convince them, Gu Feng could only rebuild the house. And, even that would take some time, so they had to live in the city until next year.


    "Second uncle, we''re leaving. You can always go to the city to chat with my dad." Gu Feng said to Gu Xia''s second grandfather.


    "Goodgood."


    "Big brother! Be good while living in the city."


    "Alright, it won''t take long. We''ll be back when the house is built."


    ""


    Gu Xia watched his grandfather and second grandfather say goodbye there, and felt filled with emotion.


    His Grandpa''s generation came from hardships. Grandpa had two younger brothers and one older sister. The older sister had passed away several years ago. The youngest brother was living with his son in another ce. Only his second brother was still in the vige, and Gu Xia''s second grandma had already passed away. If his grandpa and grandma went to the city, the second grandfather would have no rtives by his side. His sons and daughters were all out of town, and they usually only came back during the New Years. Now that grandpa was gone, he would be even more lonely.


    "Brother, stay safe!"


    Gu Xia looked at his second grandfather who was waving and shouting through the rearview mirror, and then looked at his grandfather in the backseat blinking with wet eyes. He couldn''t help feeling a sour feeling in his heart, and had the urge to cry.


    *****


    They returned to the city.


    At Gu Xia''s house, Gu Feng was talking to his parents, and Deng Ling was cleaning up the room for her parents-inw and making the quilt.


    Gu Xia sat on the sofa and listened to the conversation between his grandparents and father, without interrupting. He felt good just listening like this.


    Gu Xia looked at the deep wrinkles on the faces of grandparents. His grandparents were quite old, they had silver-white hair, and their backs were slightly bent.


    Time was truly not forgiving!


    *****


    The next day, Gu Xia got up and took out the suit and leather shoes he bought some time ago. Today, he was going to the capital, so he had to wear something more formal.


    "Everyone, I''m leaving, I''m going to the capital." Gu Xia greeted his family.


    "Be careful on the road and drive slower."


    "Be careful~"


    ""


    Gu Xia listened to the family''s instructions and smiled, "Alright."


    When he got downstairs, Gu Xia had to clean up the snow on the car again, and his hands were frozen red.


    "I really have to find time to buy a car cover, so that I won''t have to do this again."


    Gu Xia used his mobile phone to open the navigation. The navigation feature was already avable in 2005. It appeared on the Nakia mobile phone at the time. At that time, it set off a storm, and many people rushed to buy it.


    It''s just that the map was not thatprehensive, and there were not many ces. It was not like the future where there was map navigation for everything.


    This was also the main reason why Gu Xias hired-taxi app was stuck at research and development for all this time. The current problem with the hired-taxi app was not that no one was doing it, nor was it a research and development problem, but that the map was notprehensive and detailed. The current map feature only had the map of some major cities in the country. Many mid level cities didn''t even have maps, let alone roads in small cities.


    This was also where Gu Xia and Xu Fan were worried. Fortunately, everything was going well in terms of the takeaway service, and the hired-taxi app could only be implemented after the map feature was perfected.


    After all, there was no suchprehensive and detailed map as Gao*de and Bai*du at this era. (G: Gaode Map is a map tool that lets you discover your location in a precise way.)


    The map in Gu Xia''s mobile phone wasnt something special, and it didnt even have a special name, only the word "map" was there.


    Fortunately, an international metropolis like Shan*hai had a rtively detailed map. Modu Lingyun Technology Co. Ltd. was located on Nanjing Road in Shan*hai. Nanjing Road had a total length of 5.5 kilometers. It used to be called "Ten Mile Foreign Market". It is the most prosperous road in Shan*hai. It has also been known as the firstmercial street for a long time. It was known as "Ten Mile Nanjing Road, and Park Lane". (G: Md or "Magical City", is a contemporary nickname for Shan*hai, is widely used among the youth.)


    The Modu Lingyun Technology Co. Ltd. was located in the Yunfan Building here. It rented a whole floor of the 23rd floor. The rent was 6 million yuan per year, which meant that the monthly rent was 500,000 yuan. The numbers were scary. Fortunately, Xu Fan, as a real estate boss, had a lot of money. If ordinary people just started a business, they would only be able to rent a small workshop in the suburbs of Shan*hai.

 Chapter 52: Are you hungry?

    Chapter 52: Are you hungry?


    Gu Xia drove the car onto the expressway. The snow on the expressway had been swept away by the responsible workers. Gu Xia raised the speed of the car, and drove to Shan*hai ording to the navigation route.


    After driving at a high speed for nearly three hours, he finally entered Shan*hai.


    The location set on Gu Xia''s navigation was Nanjing Road, so he drove all the way to Nanjing Road. Gu Xia asked a passerby and found the Yunfan Building. Yunfan Building was a newly built building on Nanjing Road. It was 43 stories high and the exterior was made of dark blue ss. It looked like a huge blue crystal under the sunlight.


    Gu Xia drove in from the parking lot. After parking the car, he took the elevator to the 23rd floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he could see the door of thepany on the opposite side. The door was made of stainless steel and ss. He could clearly see the front desk inside. A young woman was seated at the front desk. Behind her was the name Modu Lingyun Technology Co. Ltd. written in golden characters.


    Gu Xia nodded, the design of the gate and the front desk looked great.


    The door was automatic, and when Gu Xia walked over, it opened automatically.


    "Hello, who are you looking for?" The beauty at the front desk stood up and asked.


    "I''m looking for Xu Fan." Gu Xia said.


    "Mr. Xu? Do you have an appointment?"


    "Uhno." Gu Xia touched his nose and said.


    This scene seemed strangely familiar, wasn''t it a scene from some TV series.


    Gu Xia took out his mobile phone and dialed Xu Fan''s number before she could say anything about not being able to enter without an appointment.


    "Hey, Brother Xu, I''m at the door. Come out, I can''t get in without an appointment."


    "Okay, I''ll be out right now."


    Seeing that Gu Xia knew her boss, the receptionist told him to wait a moment, and then continued to sit there. She didn''t know if the person really called her boss and dared not let him in.


    "Gu Xia!"


    Xu Fan walked over and called out, then said to the woman on the front desk, "This is Mr. Gu, the boss and shareholder of Lingyun, understood?"


    "Understood, Mr. Xu."


    "Good. Dont forget it!"


    "Hmm!" Gu Xia smiled.


    "Let''s go, go in and have a look." Xu Fan smiled.


    Walking inside, Gu Xia saw that there were already about thirty employees inside, all working.


    "p!"


    Xu Fan pped his hands, saw everyone looking over, and said, "Everyone please stop their work for a moment, this is another boss of our Lingyun, who is also a major shareholder of Lingyun. You can just call him President Gu, in the future he will oftene to guide the work, and everyone please give him a warm wee."


    "p! p! p!"


    "Hello, President Gu!!!!"


    Everyone apuded and shouted.


    "President Gu, say a few words!" Xu Fan patted Gu Xia on the shoulder and smiled.


    Gu Xia touched his nose and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, Lingyun is in its infancy now. And in the future, everyone must make concerted efforts to make Lingyun stronger. If Lingyun is strong, everyone''s sry will also improve. Everyone here knows about thepanys project, this is a project that will surely make money, so at this stage, I hope everyone can work with me and President Xu to make Lingyun stronger, thank you everyone!


    "p! p! p!"


    There was a stream of apuse from the employees.


    "Mr. Gu is right. Let''s work together and wait until thepany bes bigger and bigger and goes public in the future. All of you here are veterans, and all of you may be leaders by then, so everyone should work hard!"


    "p! p! p!"


    "Okay, let''s all get back to work!"


    After Xu Fan finished speaking, he said to Gu Xia, "Lets go to the office and talk!"


    *****


    "Hey~ Did you see how young President Gu is? He must be a rich second generation!"


    "So handsome, I want to be his girlfriend."


    "Mr. Gu is mine. Just look, you have no chest or bu*t"


    "He''s mine, so young and rich, I''m going to give him a little monkey" (G: Have children.)


    ""


    Gu Xia, who was walking behind Xu Fan, heard the discussion behind him and smiled bitterly.


    In Xu Fan''s office, the decoration was very grand. You could overlook the scenery of the magical city (Modu/Sha*ghai) from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the words "God rewards hard work" written by famous artists on the wall.


    There were desks and tea tables and sofas inside. Gu Xia looked at theyout of the office and nodded. Theyout was imposing, but not overly luxurious like a nouveau riche.


    "Have you bought a car? Did youe by car?"


    Xu Fan asked while sitting on the sofa and brewing tea.


    "Yes, I just bought it."


    "Haha~ What car did you buy, did you have enough money? If it''s not enough, I''ll give you another million." Xu Fanughed.


    "It was enough, I bought a Mercedes-Benz E200, and I still have leftovers after buying the car." Gu Xia smiled.


    "The E200 is not bad. After thepany makes money, you can rece it with another one. You will lose your share if you drive this car again, haha~" Xu Fan said with a smile.


    "By the way, let''s go to the R&D room, and take a look at our takeaway app. It''s almost done. You can check it out. We''re going to try it out in the capital first." Xu Fan finished talking and walked outside. .


    Gu Xia nodded and followed.


    They came to the other side of thepany, and the words "Outsiders Do Not Enter" were posted on the door.


    Walking in, he saw arge room full ofputers and various piles of paper.


    A dozen people were working attentively in front of theputers.


    "I paid a lot of money to find these people. It was because of them that the app could be developed so quickly, and their technology is great." Xu Fan pointed to these people and said.


    A middle-aged man in ck clothes walked over and said, "Mr. Xu, why are you here? Who is this?"


    "This is the President Gu I was talking about." Xu Fan pointed at Gu Xia and smiled. After speaking, he pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "Gu Xia, this is Xiong Xiong, the manager of our R&D department."


    "Hello Manager Xiong! You''ve worked hard." Gu Xia smiled while holding Xiong Xiong''s hand.


    "Oh! I can''t believe that Mr. Gu is so young! I have been waiting to meet with Mr. Gu for a long time! These two projects of yours are really very creative! Now that you are here, I just have some doubts and I can ask you for advice." Xiong Xiong said excitedly.


    "Don''t dare to take the credit. Most of the credit goes to the backbone of thepany, Manager Xiong! Without you, I don''t know when this app would beunched." Gu Xia waved his hand modestly.


    "Xiong Xiong! I will leave President Gu here. If you have any questions, please ask him in the next two days! He will be going back to study in two days." Xu Fanughed.


    "Ah, President Gu is still studying! How praiseworthy!" Xiong Xiong said with sincere admiration.


    "Don''t praise me, I''ll get embarrassed." Gu Xia touched his nose and smiled bitterly.


    "Haha~"


    Xu Fanughed loudly when he heard his words, then patted Gu Xia on the shoulder and said, "I''ll go over to deal with some paperworks first, you can help Xiong Xiong here!"


    "Hmm~"


    Gu Xia followed Xiong Xiong to theputer and looked at the background of the takeaway app on theputer.


    "It''s Mr. Gu, our app''s name is ording to what you said, Are you hungry?. At present, our framework has almost been built, and we have done it ording to what you wrote. You can also check if this sorting is correct. The sorting is divided intoprehensive sorting, highest sales, nearest distance, and lowest starting price"


    Gu Xia listened to Xiong Xiong''s introduction, looked at the screen, and nodded, the framework seemed quite good.


    "Yes, we can do this in the early stage, and then we will slowly optimize itter. The next step is to go to the merchants, and the contracted merchants affiliated with us and. add the information and dishes of the contracted merchants as quickly as possible. We can''t make a mistake on this part." Gu Xia said while looking at the framework on the screen.


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Gu, the boys under mymand are top-notch." Xiong Xiong said confidently.


    "Alright, that''s good. After the app is on the market, well see what needs to be optimized, and in the future we can add services like supermarket purchasing, vegetable and fruit purchasing, etc."


    Gu Xia couldn''t think of anything that needed to be changed at the moment. After all, he used to watch the food delivery tform on his mobile phone. Looking at the draft like this, Gu Xia didn''t exactly know what more could be changed.

 Chapter 53: Departing for the US

    Chapter 53: Departing for the US


    For the rest of the time, Gu Xia stayed in the R&D room, discussing things with the R&D staff.


    After he was done with his work, the next Sunday night, Gu Xia drove the car back to university after saying goodbye to Xu Fan.


    *****


    In a blink of an eye, the first semester of freshman year ended, and Gu Xia continued attending his office in the capital in addition to sses.


    The Are you hungry? takeaway app was also officiallyunched in the capital for trial operation. Most of the restaurant owners and snack merchants in the capital weed it, which immediately caused a strong response, and the people expressed their support one after another, which also led to the increased sale of 4G smartphones. Many Office workers were buying smartphones to download and eat takeout.


    The Are you hungry? takeaway app reached 100,000 downloads on the first day it wasunched. And many newsworks also focused on the impact of takeout, and the download volume became even more terrifying.


    Now, the takeaway was urgently spreading across the country, and restaurant owners all over the country were eagerly waiting for the takeaway to enter their city.


    At the moment, Gu Xia was packing his luggage at home, and the day before he had bought a ne ticket to the US.


    "Xia Xia, why do you have to travel to the US! I heard that the US is very chaotic, and many people have guns." Deng Ling said worriedly.


    "It''s okay, Mom, although many people over there have gun licenses, they won''t just shoot randomly. Besides, I''m going to travel, and I''m not going there to stay. Millions of people from China travel to the US every year. Aren they okay?" Gu Xiaughed. (G: The irony in this part is quite strong.)


    "Anyway, take care of yourself, you understand?" Gu Feng instructed.


    "Okay, I know Dad." Gu Xia nodded and replied.


    "Smelly Gu Xia, you aren''t even taking me there, hum~ Mom and Dad, he must be taking his girlfriend to y in the US." Gu Qin on the side said angrily.


    "Xia Xia, have you got a girlfriend?" Deng Ling asked with a smile.


    Gu Xia saw that his parents were looking at him questioningly, and red at Gu Qin who was gloating at his misfortune. Then he couldn''t help smiling bitterly, "We confirmed our feelings just recently."


    "You really got one! Remember to bring her to our house one day, let your Mom take a look, and check her out for you." Deng Ling said in surprise.


    "Mom, we just got together, so how can I bring her to see my parents? Besides, I''m only a freshman, why are you in such a hurry!" Gu Xia said helplessly.


    He red at Gu Qin again, he med this girl for prying into whether he was in love every day.


    Gu Qin fearlessly stared back, and thought to herself, <em>Serves you rightwho told you not to take me to have fun, and not to like Jingjing!</em>


    It turned out that Gu Qin had long known that Li Jingjing liked her brother. When she learned that Li Jingjing was rejected by Gu Xiast Christmas Eve, Gu Qin immediately grieved for her best friend. She always thought that Li Jingjing was her future sister-inw, so she specially handed Gu Xia over today and revealed the matter about the girlfriend.


    "You kids! Don''t worry about Xia Xia! He is also an adult and knows what to do." Gu Fengughed.


    "Okay, but Xia Xia! You still have to find a time to bring your girlfriend home, you understand?" Deng Ling said with a smile.


    "Understood! Mom, I''m leaving, or I won''t be able to catch the ne." Gu Xia touched his nose and said.


    "Alright, go! Have fun." Deng Ling instructed. She was not worried about whether her son had money or not. After all, she had also seen her son''spany on the newswork. Although she didn''t understand what it exactly was, she knew from the newswork that it was very good.


    "I''m leaving!"


    Gu Xia closed the door and walked downstairs with a suitcase.


    A gap opened on the door of Li Jingjing''s house on the opposite side, and a pair of dark eyes stared at Gu Xia''s back when he went downstairs. It was Li Jingjing. She received a message from Gu Qin and couldn''t help but secretly look at Gu Xia. During this time she didn''t call or send a message to Gu Xia. Even when Gu Xia came back home, she hid away. Mostly because she didn''t know how to face Gu Xia.


    Thinking about that day again, Li Jingjing''s eyes became a little wet.


    "Jingjing, are you going out? "


    Li Jingjing heard her mother''s voice from the room, and she hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "No, I am going to throw the garbage at the door."


    "Oh~e and have breakfast!"


    "Coming!"


    *****


    Gu Xia drove to Jiangbei International Airport and parked the car in the underground parking lot. Parking here cost him ten yuan a day. Although it was a bit expensive, it was safe and convenient. When he came back, he could drive directly back without any hassle.


    After Gu Xia parked the car, he brought his suitcase for a security check. After the security check, Gu Xia put the suitcase away, boarded the ne, sat in his seat, fastened his seat belt, and leaned on the seat. He squinted his eyes, getting ready to sleep.


    It usually took 20 hours to go from Jiangbei Airport to New Yo*k Airport, which was quite far. It was the first time for Gu Xia to take such a long flight. In his past life, all his flights were to travel around the country and it only took three or four hours at most. His journey to New Yo*k would require nearly twenty hours, like riding a train.


    The seats were gradually filled, Gu Xia turned off his phone, theny back and went to sleep.


    When he woke up again, it was already night. Gu Xia ate the airne meal. The airne meal was as unptable as ever! But he had no other way!


    He asked the flight attendant, and heard that there were still six hours left to reach New Yo*k.


    Gu Xia just woke up, and couldn''t fall asleep for the time being. There was heating on the ne, so it was not cold, but it was too boring, and he couldn''t even y with his mobile phone. So Gu Xia could only pick up the magazine in front of him and read it.


    When he thought about how surprised she would look when he would meet Tu Sisiter, Gu Xia couldn''t help but smile.


    He didn''t tell Tu Sisi that he wasing today just to surprise her.


    The journey was quite uneventful.


    When he arrived at New Yo*k International Airport, it was ten o''clock in the morning in the US. Gu Xia felt a little ufortable. It should bete at night back at home, but it became the morning when he arrived here. The time difference was too strange. It was daytime when he began his journey, and he just sat still for twenty or so hours, but when he arrived, it was still daytime. Wasnt that really strange?


    Gu Xia looked at Tu Sisi''s address, then went out of the airport to take a taxi.


    Suddenly he became stunned, he didn''t speak English at all! Moreover, the address of Tu Sisi that he wrote was also in Chinese. How would he get there?


    Gu Xia was immediately annoyed at himself for forgetting about such an important matter. He shouldve checked the trantion on theputer and wrote it down.


    Trantion? Gu Xias mind shed, and he took out his mobile phone and opened Guugle. At this era, Guugle had not yet withdrawn from Ch*na, and Baidu had not dominated the search engine industry in Ch*na.


    Gu Xia entered Tu Sisi''s address at "Manha*tan Times Square".


    Then he took out a pen and paper and wrote it down, walked to the taxi beside the road, showed him the English address on the paper. The taxi driver said ok, then Gu Xia put the suitcase in the trunk and sat in the car.


    It had to be mentioned that the taxis in New Yo*k''s were quite high-end. They used brands like Buick LaCrosse, Ford, Chevrolet and others.


    On the way, the taxi driver spoke in English from time to time, but Gu Xia couldn''t understand a word, so he could only wave his hand to indicate that he didn''t speak English.


    Poor Gu Xia''s English in his previous life was not good. When he was reborn, he graduated from high school, but still did not know an ounce of English. It was really unfortunate.


    It was a matter of great sorrow. One that he couldnt help even after being reborn.

 Chapter 54: Reunion

    Chapter 54: Reunion


    Arriving at Times Squ*re, Gu Xia took out the US dors he had exchanged in Chi*a and paid the driver. After getting the change, Gu Xia looked at the high-rise buildings in front of him. The city was really prosperous! It was worthy of being the country with the number one economy.


    Gu Xia took out his mobile phone and dialed Tu Sisi''s number.


    "DuDuDu."


    <em>Shes not picking up? Haahwhats happening with my luck today!</em>


    When Tu Sisi didnt answer the call again, Gu Xia put away the phone, thinking that she should be in ss or something.


    At that very moment, Tu Sisi was really attending a ss, and her mobile phone was turned off and put in the pocket of her coat. She didn''t even know that Gu Xia hade to the US.


    Gu Xia felt helpless, he was unfamiliar with the things around him, and he couldn''t speak English!


    He was feeling hungry, and there was nothing he could do. Gu Xia walked along the road to see if there was a Chin*se restaurant or something. Otherwise, how would he order food in an Ameri*an restaurant?


    But after walking around, he couldnt find a single Chin*se restaurant. Gu Xia was feeling so hungry that his chest touched his back, and he began to regret not having the second meal on the ne. The first meal was just too bad, so Gu Xia didn''t eat the second meal. He thought about getting off the ne and going to eat something good with Tu Sisi, but who knew it would turn out like this!


    Helpless, Gu Xia had to sit on the stool by the roadside, looking forward to seeing a Chin*se person, so that he or she could help him order dinner. Who knew that even after waiting for an hour, he did not see a Chin*se person! Gu Xia couldn''t help but doubt his life, it was 2008. Was there so few Chin*se in Ameri*a?


    Suddenly, Gu Xia heard a waitress in a western restaurant close to him talking on the phone, she was speaking in Chin*se, and that made Gu Xia excited beyond words.


    After the waitress finished her phone call, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hello, I''m from Chi*a. I don''t speak English. Can you help me order some food inside?"


    The waitress was stunned for a moment, then pointed at a table and smiled, "Okay! You can sit there, I''ll bring the menu."


    "Thank you, thank you so much!" Gu Xia said gratefully.


    Gu Xia sat in the chair and sighed that it was really not easy to live abroad!


    <em>I don''t know how Sisi lives here.</em>


    "This is the menu. The restaurant has steaks, hamburgers, pasta What do you want to eat?"


    "Give me a hamburger, a curry beef rice, a ss of hot milk, thank you."


    Gu Xia didn''t know what to eat, so he just ordered the things that looked interesting.


    Soon the food was delivered, Gu Xia devoured it quickly, and then leaned back on the chair and let out a burp full of satisfaction.


    Although he was a little unustomed to the taste, it was far better than the meal on the ne.


    "How much?" Gu Xia asked.


    "A total of 47 dors."


    Gu Xia took out a 100 dor bill and handed it to her and said, "Thank you for helping just now, otherwise I would have starved."


    You''re wee."


    Gu Xia took the change, then smiled at her, waved goodbye, then picked up his suitcase and walked to the bench where the sunlight was shining. He waited for Tu Sisi to return his call.


    It had to be mentioned that it wasnt really very cold here in the US, Gu Xia was even sweating in the not-so-bright sun.


    "Who do you think of when you''re alone~" The phone rang.


    Gu Xia took out his mobile phone, and saw that it was a call from Tu Sisi.


    [Hey~ Gu Xia, I was in ss just now, and the phone was muted.] Tu Sisi exined.


    "Its alright~ have you gotten off the bus? When will you go home?" Gu Xia asked with a smile.


    [Preparing to go back now? What''s wrong?]


    "I''m in Times Square, and I''ll be waiting for you here."


    [Ah! You''re here? Why didn''t you tell me in advance?] Tu Sisi said in surprise.


    "Hehe, I wanted to give you a surprise, let''s talk about it when youe here!" Gu Xiaughed.


    [Okay~ Wait for me.]


    "Hmm~"


    After Tu Sisi hung up the phone, she was very excited. She hurriedly packed her things, and then quickly ran outside the school to get a taxi.


    Hu Chao was behind her, and there was a haze on his face,


    He heard the contents of Tu Sisi''s call and knew that her boyfriend hade to meet her. He felt helpless and unwilling to ept that he was unable to move Tu Sisis heart even after trying for so long. He really wanted to see the guy who captured Tu Sisi''s heart. So, he quickly chased after her and said to Tu Sisi, "Sisi, let''s go, I''ll take you there."


    "Eh! Alright."


    *****


    In Times Square, Gu Xia looked bored as he looked at the pedestriansing and going on the street.


    "Grrrrrm!"


    A loud roar from a car engine was heard, and a beige Lamborghini came driving like a Spanish bull on the road.


    Gu Xia nced at it and didn''t think much of it. In this time period, Lamborghinis might be rare, but after a few years, this car would be seen everywhere, and would be quitemon.


    It was actually Hu Chao and Tu Sisi who were sitting in the car. Tu Sisi turned her head and looked around, searching for that familiar figure.


    After searching the entire Times Squ*re, she finally saw the figure sitting on the bench with his head lowered. Tu Sisi hurriedly asked Hu Chao to stop next to him. Then she got out of the car and looked at the figure with some trepidation and excitement in her heart.


    Tu Sisi walked forward and whispered, "Gu Xia~"


    Gu Xia was looking down at the ants on the ground, when he suddenly heard that familiar voice calling out to him. His body froze, and he slowly raised his head, he narrowed his eyes due to the sunlight and looked at Tu Sisi. The person in front of him was wearing a white coat and was looking at him with a smile on her face.


    Gu Xia stood up, spread out his arms, and took the cute person in front of him into his arms. He smiled and softly said, "Long time no see."


    Tu Sisi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Long time no see."


    Thest time they said that was when the two had met each other for the first time after being reborn, and that time they parted unhappily. But this time the two met again after a long while, and their meaning waspletely different.


    "I missed you so much!"


    "I missed you so much!"


    The two spoke at the same time. After speaking, the two smiled at each other, and then looked at each other affectionately. Gu Xia swallowed his saliva, then held Tu Sisi''s face, and fiercely took her delicate red lips.


    Tu Sisi also responded enthusiastically, and the two kissed passionately like they were the only ones in the world.


    Hu Chao watched Tu Sisi kissing like that and felt very jealous. This was his dream scene! Just how many times had he kissed Tu Sisi affectionately in his dreams, but now the male lead was someone else! Hu Chao''s chest was burning with jealousy, he even had the urge to push the man away and kiss Tu Sisi himself.


    Hu Chao looked at the man who was kissing Tu Sisi. He was not as handsome in appearance, nor rich in clothes. He crushed the guy in every aspect he could think of, but why didn''t Tu Sisi like him?


    <em>I am so good to her, but why can''t I impress her?</em>


    Hu Chao became more and more angry. He felt that if he continued to stay here, he would have the urge to kill. As he just stood there and was fed a copious amount of dog food. He was obviously rich and handsome. So why should he eat dog food? Then he angrily left the ce. (G: Eating dog food has the simr connotation as eating vinegar.)

 Chapter 55: Aunt is here

    Chapter 55: Aunt is here


    After a long time, the two finally separated. When Tu Sisi saw the crystalline thread connecting their lips, her face turned red in shame. Their lips were also a little swollen. After all, they had been kissing for so long, and it was also a deep kiss.


    "I didn''t expect you to be here today, I thought you woulde here next year!" Tu Sisi leaned in Gu Xia''s arms and said happily.


    "Hehe~ I missed you, I''m always anxious to see you!" Gu Xiaughed.


    "I missed you too. Now, let''s go! Come with me, lets go where I live." Tu Sisi smiled.


    "Hmm~"


    Gu Xia held his suitcase in one hand and put his arm around Tu Sisi who was leaning on him.


    Both of them felt some strange feelings sprouting in their hearts. It may have been due to the fact that they had not seen each other for a long time, or that the estrangement in their hearts had finally disappeared.


    Tu Sisi lived in a small apartment next to Times Squa*re. This was a high-end residential area where the office workers of the Manha*tan business district lived.


    "Haah~ Were finally here. When I first arrived, I was a little afraid of being shot and killed in the street. Even when I took a taxi, I was a little afraid that the driver would trick me because I didn''t understand English, haha~"


    Gu Xiaughed while talking in a joking manner. (G: Yes, its a jokemaybe.)


    "Fortunately, although most of the people in the US have gun licenses, they would not shoot random strangers on the street unless you have a dispute or have an enmity. So try not to get into conflict with strangers in the US, because you can never know if that person will suddenly pull out a gun and shoot you while arguing." Tu Sisi alsoughed.


    "That''s really messed up! It''s really different from our country where except for the police force, no one is allowed to own a gun, so we don''t have to worry about things like this." Gu Xia sighed.


    "Haha~ Sit down, you must be hungry, I''m going to cook." Tu Sisiughed.


    "I''m not that hungry yet. You can eat first if you''re hungry."


    "I''m not too hungry as well. Then let''s eatter!" Tu Sisi sat on the sofa next to Gu Xia.


    "Are you losing weight again? Just look at how thin your hands are!" Gu Xia said as he took Tu Sisi''s hand.


    "Why, I didn''t lose weight, I have a standard weight." Tu Sisi said angrily.


    "Standard weight? Let me check it."


    After speaking, Gu Xia groped around Tu Sisis body.


    "Ah, don''t touch, it''s daytime!" Tu Sisi pushed Gu Xia away with a flushed face, and straightened her clothes and hair that had been messed up by Gu Xia.


    "What are you afraid of, no one wille anyway." After saying that, Gu Xia was ready to pounce.


    "No, my aunt is here." Tu Sisi blushed. (G: Aunt refers to menst*ruation.)


    "Eh!?"


    Gu Xia felt a profound disappointment wash over him when he heard her words. It was not easy for his little bro to get a chance to taste some flesh, but unexpectedly her aunt was here.


    Tu Sisi saw Gu Xia''s expression of disappointment, and felt a little helpless. She also wanted to satisfy Gu Xias needs, but her aunt came the night before.


    "Okay, I''ll do that to you at night" Tu Sisi bit her lip and whispered in Gu Xia''s ear. (G: Guess what that is. Dontment, just guess.)


    After Gu Xia heard what Tu Sisi said, his expression turned into one of pleasant surprise.


    What a time to be alive! Tu Sisi would actually promise to give him that. This was something Gu Xia had never tried in his previous life. Gu Xia did ask Tu Sisi for that before, but Tu Sisi refused to do so. Unexpectedly, this time she offered to do that herself! Gu Xia''s expression suddenly turned full of expectations for the future.


    "Hehe~"


    Noticing Gu Xia''s expression with a sly smile, Tu Sisi angrily pinched his waist.


    "Ahahh!"


    Gu Xia sucked in a cold breath in pain, and kept rubbing the pinched position on his waist with his hands.


    This was really heaven and hell!


    "Who told you tough, hum~ what I just said doesn''t count anymore." Tu Sisi snorted coldly.


    "No, wife, I was wrong, I was wrong. I will ept any punishment!" Gu Xia immediately begged for mercy with a bitter face.


    "Hmph~ Then you have to go shopping with me, if you behave well, I can think about it at night. Otherwise, youll have to spend the evening with your hand." Tu Sisi gave him a nk look.


    "Don''t worry! I''m sure I can do wellBig Brother is not short of money now, you can buy whatever you want." Gu Xia patted his chest and said in a nouveau riche-like tone.


    Gu Xia was telling the truth. In fact, he really was quite rich at the moment, because Xu Fan had given him another 2 million yuan. Although thepany had started to make money now, the money it earned was not yet enough to pay the wages of the employees. Moreover, they also had to use the money to expand their market. Xu Fan had already spent nearly one billion yuan to expand in the national market, and he was still adding more. After the market was upied by takeaways, it would finally be their time for a bumper harvest.


    "Pfft~ let''s go." Tu Sisi was amused by Gu Xia''s funny words.


    Gu Xia apanied Tu Sisi around Times Squ*are until four o''clock in the afternoon. By that point, Gu Xia''s arms and neck had been covered with a ton of shopping bags, and the money on his card had been reduced by more than 100,000 yuan.


    Gu Xia put everything down, then fell straight on the sofa, and said with a look of hopelessness, "Shopping is still as scary as ever!"


    "When you women go shopping, it''s like going on a hundred mile marathon, without any chance of rest! I''m about to fall apart." Gu Xiained with an exhausted expression.


    "Hehe~"


    Tu Sisi smiled. She also knew that Gu Xia didn''t like to go shopping. It was a great improvement that he could go shopping with her for so long today. Knowing that he was exhausted, Tu Sisi went to the kitchen, took out the juice from the refrigerator, and poured a ss for Gu Xia.


    "Come on, take a break with a ss of juice, I''ll go shopping for groceries, and I''ll cook something delicious for youter." Tu Sisi smiled. After she finished speaking, she picked up her bag and went to the supermarket next to her apartment to buy food.


    "Wait, I''ll go too." Gu Xia said, sitting up and drinking the juice in one breath.


    "No, aren''t you tired? Just rest here! I''ll be back soon." Tu Sisi gave him a look.


    "It''s okay, let''s go!" Gu Xia finished, took Tu Sisi''s hand and walked out the door.


    The two went to the Wal*mart supermarket not far away and bought two full bags of things, including vegetables and snacks.


    When they returned to the residence, it was already dark outside, and Tu Sisi turned on the light, and then went to the kitchen to wash and cut vegetables.


    "I''ll do it! You can just wait for the cooking to finish. I''d like to show you how much my craft has improved."


    After talking, Gu Xia took out the vegetables and washed them in the washing pool.


    "Okay, then I''ll cut the peppers for these ingredients."


    The two became busy in the kitchen, hed wash this, and shed cut that.


    Tu Sisi turned her head to look at Gu Xia who was washing beef, and felt a warm feeling in her heart. It has been a long time since shest experienced this scene, and it only happened in their past life when they were just married.


    "Ah~"


    Tu Sisi watched Gu Xia work, and identally cut her finger with the knife, but fortunately the wound was not deep.


    "What''s wrong? Why are you so careless!"


    After saying that, Gu Xia put Tu Sisi''s fingers into his mouth and gently sucked it.


    "No, I just cut vegetables, its dirty."


    Seeing Gu Xia ignore her words, Tu Sisi smiled helplessly, but she was still very happy in her heart.


    "Okay, its not bleeding anymore. If you bleed some more again, plus the bleeding below, you might have anemia." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Hateful~"


    "Where is the Ban*d-Aid? I''ll put it on for you." Gu Xia asked with a smile.


    "It''s in the TV cab."


    Gu Xia found a Ban*d-Aid and put it on Tu Sisi, then dragged her to the living room, pressed her to sit on the sofa and said, "You better sit here and watch TV! I''ll cook."


    "Hmm~"


    Tu Sisi looked at the somewhat domineering Gu Xia and nodded obediently.


    "Ahh..uummm!"


    "Haha~"


    Tu Sisi looked at Gu Xia who had finished kissing her and then walked into the kitchen with a smile. And, a happy smile appeared on her face as well.


    <em>I feel happy!</em>

 Chapter 56: Pitiful Hu Chao

    Chapter 56: Pitiful Hu Chao


    "Thutt! Thutt! Thutt!"


    Sound of fast chopping came from the kitchen.


    Gu Xia put all the cut vegetables on tes, and the other ingredients were neatly cut and ced on the stove.


    Leaning on the kitchen door, Tu Sisi looked at Gu Xia, who was seriously chopping vegetables, and secretly said, <em>He''s really handsome, as expected of my man.</em>


    That was quite true, Gu Xia was already quite handsome, and with that serious expression, he looked even more handsome. Wasn''t there a saying Serious men were the most handsome. (G: At least to Tu Sisi anyways.)


    Seeing Tu Sisi staring at him, Gu Xia couldn''t help but take a look at his body, and then asked, "What''s wrong? Why are you staring at me, is there any dirt on my body?"


    "No~"


    "Then why are you staring at me? I''m feeling a little ufortable."


    "Well~ you''re so handsome." After Tu Sisi finished speaking, she returned to the sofa with a smile.


    Gu Xia was a little confused by Tu Sisi''s words, and shook his head. It was futile to guess a woman''s thoughts. Doing that would just make you doubt life itself. This was the wisdom summed up by Gu Xia after many years of married life.


    *****


    Hu Chao next door got up from the bed and rubbed his temples. It turned out that after he left, he came to drink at home and just woke up after being dead drunk.


    <em>Sisi, you are mine, I must snatch you over. </em>(G: Just give up dude.)


    Hu Chao took a shower, got dressed and came to the door of Tu Sisi apartment. Then he knocked on the door. He nned to continue pursuing Tu Sisi. And to do that, he needed to learn about Gu Xia. It was as they say know thyself and the enemy, and then you can win every battle.


    Tu Sisi opened the door and saw Hu Chao standing outside. She felt really annoyed, <em>Is this guy doing it on purpose? He came here again, haunting like a ghost!</em>


    Hu Chao looked inside, saw that the table was full of dishes, and said with a smile. "Ah, you were cooking? I haven''t had dinner yet, so don''t mind if I join in! It just so happens that I still have a bottle of good wine, I''ll go get it."


    After speaking, without waiting for Tu Sisi to speak, he returned to his room and took a bottle of red wine, and walked into Tu Sisi''s house with a smile.


    Tu Sisi watched Hu Chao walk into the room, and couldn''t help but secretly say, <em>His skin is getting thicker and thicker. He didnt act like this in our past life.</em>


    Gu Xia, who had just finished cooking thest dish, came out with the dish and saw Hu Chao walking in with a bottle of wine. Gu Xia nced at him, and saw Hu Chao also squinting back at him. The two men exchanged thoughts with their eyes. Gu Xia understood that this guy was still not going to give up. However, it didn''t matter much, as Tu Sisi was destined to be his.


    "Oh, you even brought wine, you are so polite! Sisi, a guest has arrived, but why didn''t you ask him to sit down?" Gu Xia said with a smile.


    Hu Chao slightly narrowed his eyes. Was the man across from him reminding him that he was the guest and that he was the master of the house? <em>What a nasty person!</em>


    "You''re wee, Sisi and I have known each other for many years, but who might you be?" Hu Chao asked deliberately.


    "Me? You don''t know who I am? Didn''t you see me kissing Sisi yesterday? That shouldve been enough to know who I am." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    Tu Sisi watched with relish as the two men kept arguing.


    Gu Xia casually talked about their kissing scene on purpose, and Hu Chao felt pain in his heart. Although Hu Chao was very angry, he said with a smile on his face, "I left after sending Sisi, so I didn''t see it. It seems that you are the boyfriend in China that Sisi mentioned before! My name is Hu Chao, and Sisi and I have been ssmates for six years."


    "I heard Sisi mention you as well. I''m Gu Xia, Sisi''s boyfriend. I want to thank you for always helping my familys Sisi." Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "Sisi and I were going to have candlelight dinner. Since you are here, let''s eat together! Sisi,e, sit next to me." Gu Xia waved Tu Sisi over to sit beside him. (G: Dominance established.)


    Tu Sisi obediently sat beside Gu Xia.


    Gu Xia took the red wine from Hu Chao and said with a smile, "Well~ This is good wine,e here, Hu Chao, lets drink together."


    Hu Chao''s face froze, <em>This is obviously the wine I brought, why are you acting like it''s yours?</em>


    Hu Chao felt depressed! It seems that since entering the apartment, he had been at a disadvantage! <em>This is not good </em>Hu Chao felt a little anxious. Suddenly he thought of an idea, <em>Since I can''t do anything about you, I''ll beat you at drinking.</em>


    Hu Chao was quite confident in his drinking capacity. He had been socializing with his father since he was a child. As he had to greet the guests basically every day, Hu Chao had a lot of experience with alcohol.


    "Alright, since you''re older than me, I''ll call you Big Brother Gu. We are meeting for the first time, so let''s drink." Hu Chao toasted with half a ss of red wine in his ss.


    Gu Xia looked at Hu Chao, whose eyes were full of provocation and he couldn''t help but smile. You want topete in drinking with me? And drinking red wine at that? Then he thought back to his glorious history of drinking six bottles of wine, and even he was wasted after drinking so much.


    Gu Xia smiled and drank the red wine in the ss.


    Tu Sisi watched Gu Xia drinking and was not worried. She was aware of Gu Xia''s alcohol capacity, so she just smiled and ate the food in front of her. She didnt get to eat this dish for a long time. In her previous life, Gu Xia also cooked it asionally when she was resting. Tu Sisi didnt get the chance to eat the food he made in his life, and it still tasted the same now.


    Gu Xia had alwaysined about her cooking in their past life. Fortunately, her current cooking skills had improved a lot. Unfortunately, she did not get to show her skills today, and lost the chance to impress Gu Xia. <em>Alright, I must show off my cooking tomorrow!</em>


    "Come on, Hu Chao, try having some of my dishes, Sisi likes my dishes the most." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Yes, Hu Chao, try it now, Gu Xia''s cooking is very good." Tu Sisi also added.


    Hu Chao watched as the two acted like a harmonious married couple, and he inexplicably felt panicked in his heart. He wondered ifing here today was a mistake. Did hee here to eat dog food and watch them show their affection?


    "Okay, I''ll try it."


    "Heh, not bad, it isparable to those average restaurants in Chi*na." Hu Chao said with a smile.


    "Hehe, if you think it''s delicious, you can eat more. Come on, try this pork kidney. You are so thin and your face is so pale, like a person with kidney deficiency. You have to eat more pork kidney to make up for it." Gu Xia smiled and pointed to a te of pork kidney. (G: Ouchstraight to the nutsack!)


    "Hehe~"


    Tu Sisi couldnt contain herughter when she heard the words. Gu Xia really didn''t miss any chance to attack Hu Chao!


    Anger shed across Hu Chao''s face, and he was about to explode with anger. <em>What''s wrong with me being thin? And why did it be a sign of kidney deficiency? I''m still a virgin now!</em>


    Hu Chao wanted to flip the table in anger and beat Gu Xia up. But when hepared their sizes, he lost his confidence to win the fight, and judged that it would make Sisi hate him even more. So he could only force a smile and said, "Brother Gu, you really know how to joke. Come, lets drink more."


    Gu Xia looked at Hu Chao, whose face looked a little unnatural, and couldn''t help but feel relieved. <em>Who told you to haunt Sisi in the past and even in this life, and to be more handsome and richer than me, hmph!</em>

 Chapter 57: Depressed Gu Xia

    Chapter 57: Depressed Gu Xia


    Gu Xia and Hu Chao emptied their sses, and a bottle of wine was gone in an instant. But, Hu Chao went back to his apartment and brought a box of six bottles over.


    "Come on, if you are a man, let''s finish this box today!" Hu Chao shouted.


    "I can apany you to the end, but I''m afraid you won''t be able to hold on. After all, you are so weak." Gu Xia smiled.


    "It''s easy to only talk about it,e on, drink for real!"


    The two men drank one cup after another until the case of wine was gone, and Hu Chao suddenly passed out on the table.


    The two drank a total of seven bottles of red wine, and they finished three and a half bottles each. Although Hu Chao had a good alcohol capacity, he couldn''t stand so much wine.


    Gu Xia hupped, touched his bloated belly, looked at Hu Chao and said, "You want topare drinking with me? Then drink to death, you dare to try and rob my wife, humph! You annoying prick! "


    Tu Sisi looked at Gu Xia, who was acting a little childish, and couldn''t help butugh. She smiled and said, "Okay, send Hu Chao back, and I''ll clean up the table."


    "Hmm~"


    Gu Xia helped Hu Chao up, smelled the cologne perfume on him, and couldn''t help but curse, "Show off."


    What Gu Xia disliked the most was men spraying perfume. Good perfume was fine, but most people sprayed those inferior quality perfumes. You can smell the pungent smell from two meters away, which is really unbearable. Although Hu Chao must have sprayed a good perfume, Gu Xia still couldn''t ept it. <em>This guy is fair and handsome, and when he sprays perfume, he looks like those hosts in the club.</em>


    Gu Xia never sprayed this kind of thing. He insisted that a man should be like a man. What was the point of being a man if they lost their masculinity? No matter if that masculinity was fragrant or stinky, that was the smell that a man should have.


    Gu Xia helped Hu Chao, who was staggering and unconscious, to return home. The door of his house was not locked because he hurriedly went back to take the box of red wine. Gu Xia threw him on the bed, and then closed the door of his house.


    Tu Sisi, who was wiping the table, saw Gu Xiaing in and asked, "Are you alright?"


    "Well~ my stomach is swollen to death, I want to rest." Gu Xia nted on the sofa and spoke while rubbing his stomach.


    "You deserve it, who told you to drink so much wine! Wait, I''ll make you a cup of tea and that should help you sober up." Tu Sisi nced at him and said.


    Tu Sisi went to the kitchen and took out some jasmine tea, which she usually drank. She quickly made a cup of tea and brought it to Gu Xia.


    "Come on, have a cup of tea."


    "It''s so hot, let it cool down a bit. I''m going to take a hot bath, do you want to take a bath together?" Gu Xia put down the teacup and said while holding Tu Sisi.


    "No, Ill wait for you to finish first, or it will make me ufortable." Tu Sisi blushed and angrily said.


    Gu Xia also remembered that her aunt was here, and couldn''t helpughing bitterly, what bad luck!


    "Let''s bath together! I want to have a bath with you, I promise not to move." Gu Xia hugged Tu Sisi tightly and said.


    "Okay! Ill listen to you."


    Tu Sisi went to the room to get a change of clothes, and took out the clothes in Gu Xia''s suitcase. When she walked into the bathroom, and saw Gu Xia standing there naked, she couldn''t help smiling, this guy was really desperate.


    Tu Sisi put water in the bathtub, and then took off her clothes.


    "Wife, your breasts seem to have grown a lot, right?" Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "Hateful~"


    Gu Xia was lying in the bathtub with his arms around Tu Sisi. The bathtub was quiterge. It was just right for the two of them.


    The bathtub was full of bubbles, and the bodies of the two were faintly visible.


    "I hate it~ I told you not to move around, ah~"


    "Uh~ don''t move"


    *****


    After taking a shower, Tu Sisi''s face was ruddy, while Gu Xia rubbed his waist with a bitter face, where he was pinched several times by Tu Sisi.


    "You are too ruthless! You want to murder your husband." Gu Xia cried out strangely, looking at the red flesh on his waist.


    "Who told you to move so much? Humph~" Tu Sisi gave him a nk look.


    "Should we go to the bedroom? You said you would give me that or something at night." Gu Xia rubbed his hands together and smiled.


    "What? Did I say that?" Tu Sisi squinted at him and said.


    "Sisi, how can you forget your own words? It was all settled during the day." Gu Xia said with a sad face.


    "Then you also said just now that you wouldn''t move, but what did you do?" Tu Sisi said with a sneer.


    "My dear Sisi, you are the most benevolent in the world!" Gu Xia ttered.


    Now he regretted why he didn''t control his hand just now. He wanted to touch them so badly, and finally Tu Sisi agreed to it, and the result


    It was really like stealing chicken without losing rice! No, it should be more like picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon!


    "Humph~"


    Tu Sisi snorted coldly, but looking at Gu Xia with a sad face, she couldn''t helpughing in her heart.


    In the room, Tu Sisi was lying on the bed in her pajamas, watching TV.


    Gu Xia had just finished drinking tea and walked into the room. Seeing Tu Sisi wearing a silk nightgown with her exposed fair skin, Gu Xia felt a fire burning in his heart.


    Rubbing his hands, he squeezed beside Tu Sisi, and hugged her. Before he could wrap his arms around, Tu Sisi''s cell phone rang, and Tu Sisi quickly patted his hand away. With a "shh", she motioned at the phone.


    Gu Xia nced at her mobile phone screen, it was her sister Tu Fangfang''s number.


    "Hello, sister."


    [Sisi! Are you asleep?] Tu Fangfang''s voice came through the phone.


    "Not yet, sister, you should have just woken up!"


    [Well~ I''m still in bed, by the way, how is your condition? Do you still feel ill?] Tu Fangfang asked.


    "No, I haven''t been ill for more than a month."


    [That''s good, you must listen to the doctor, you understand?]


    "I know, sister, how are you? Are mom and dad okay?" Tu Sisi nced at Gu Xia after speaking, and red at him when she saw that his hand was stretching out to her chest.


    Gu Xia Sansan withdrew his hand, and had to watch the bubbly love drama on TV.


    After half an hour.


    Gu Xia looked at Tu Sisi who was still on the phone, pouted, and continued watching TV.


    While watching, Gu Xia fell asleep. He was indeed a little tired today. He had never stopped to rest since he got off the ne. He looked for food everywhere, went shopping with Tu Sisi, and even cooked food.


    "Okay, sister, goodbye!"


    "Alright, bye~"


    Tu Sisi hung up the phone and turned to look at Gu Xia, who was huddled and asleep, with a warm smile on his face.


    This guy mustve been too tired, otherwise he wouldn''t have gone to bed so early. If he wasn''t tired, he would be pestering her even at this time.


    Tu Sisi covered him with the quilt, then got up and opened his suitcase, helped him hang all the clothes in the closet, and put away all the daily necessities. Suddenly, a small pink box at the bottom of the box attracted Tu Sisi''s attention.


    Tu Sisi picked up the pink box and opened it, and saw that there was another small red box inside. This small red box, which Tu Sisi was all too familiar with, was a box for rings.


    Tu Sisi thought that this must have been bought by Gu Xia for her, and was very moved.


    Tu Sisi guessed right, there was a diamond ring in it. Gu Xia bought it in Sha*ghai. He wanted to see Tu Sisi and put it on her finger with his own hands, but he was so busy today that he forgot.


    Tu Sisi didn''t open the box to look at it, and she didn''t know that it was a diamond ring. She only thought it was a gold ring. After all, diamond rings were still very expensive in this era.


    Since Gu Xia wanted to give her a surprise, she didn''t open it. Tu Sisi smiled and put the box back in the suitcase, then went back to the bed, looked at Gu Xia who was sleeping, kissed his forehead, and then turned off the light.

 Chapter 58: Pursuit of dreams

    Chapter 58: Pursuit of dreams


    The next day, Gu Xia woke up early in the morning. After his rebirth, he developed the habit of getting up very early every day. Gu Xia often wondered why he was sozy in the past. In his previous life, he used to get up veryte every morning, and left for work in a hurry. Because he was oftente for work, they always deducted a fine from his sry. He never managed to do full attendance.


    Now Gu Xia didn''t want to sleepte anymore, and he woke up early every morning. This habit also gave Gu Xia plenty of time to run every morning.


    Gu Xia looked at Tu Sisi, who was still asleep, and thought that she must have been on the phone prettytest night.


    Gu Xia took a shower, and went to the suitcase to get some clothes to wear. When he opened it, he found that there were no clothes in it. Gu Xia thought to himself, <em>Sisi must have unpacked it.</em>


    Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Xia hurriedly looked into the pocket under the suitcase, and saw that the box was still there. He smiled, and nned to give Tu Sisi a surpriseter.


    Gu Xia put on his clothes, then went out and ran back and forth in Times Sq*are. On the way, he nned to bring some breakfast back, but the food in the United Stat*s was all full of high-calorie and fat. Even the breakfast was nothing but hamburgers and bacon. So, Gu Xia had to give up on buying breakfast, <em>Let''s just go back and cook some noodles!</em>


    After Gu Xia went back, he found that Tu Sisi was brushing her teeth.


    "Oh, you woke up, I''ll make us something to eat."


    After speaking, Gu Xia poured some water in a small saucepan, turned on the fire and started to cut the other ingredients.


    "Alright, you went for a run?" Tu Sisi asked.


    "Yah, I originally wanted to buy breakfast, but there was nothing good to eat." Gu Xia nodded and said.


    "That''s how the United Stat*s is, you won''t find any steamed buns and wontons here."


    "Ha ha ha"


    Tu Sisi went back to her room and changed her clothes, just in time as Gu Xia finished cooking the noodles.


    "I have a ss today, what do you want to do?" Tu Sisi asked.


    "Me? Nothing in particr, maybe Ill go shopping, or just sleep." Gu Xiaughed.


    "Okay~ I''ll apany you to look around after my ss is over." Tu Sisi nodded.


    "It''s okay, you go to attend your ss first. I am going to stay here for a few days anyways." Gu Xia waved his hand and said.


    "Eat quickly! I''ll take you to the university after were done."


    "No, I''ll take the bus myself."


    "I''ll take you there!"


    *****


    After eating the noodles, Gu Xia escorted Tu Sisi to the university.


    Col*mbia University was worthy of being a world-famous university. The whole university had a strong literary atmosphere. The gate of Col*mbia University had a European-style, like a city wall and therge stone pirs stood tall like guards.


    Tu Sisi introduced the ce with a smile, "Col*mbia University ranks among the top three universities in the United Sta*es, and it is also one of the universities that has the most Nobel Prize winners. Col*mbia University has a world-ssw department, business department, medical department, journalism department, engineering department, etc. The Pulitzer Prize awarded by Col*mbia Universitys Department of Journalism is the highest honor in the field of journalism. And in 1767 Col*mbia University awarded the first doctor of medicine, which is also the first professional doctorate in the history of the United States. It is one of the most important research institutions in the United Sta*es, and it is the birthce of the first nuclear weapon in America  the Manhat*an Project. And, five presidents in history have graduated from Col*mbia, including the president who is currently in office."


    Gu Xia listened to Tu Sisi''s introduction and couldn''t help smacking his tongue. This Col*mbia University in the United Sta*es had simr status as T*inghua University and Be*jing University in Ch*na. Many political and business elites in Ch*na were from universities such as those two.


    Gu Xia was very happy that Tu Sisi could study in such an institution.


    "If it weren''t for Hu Chao''s connections, I wouldn''t be able to enter here as an auditor."


    "Haha~ It pays to be rich!" Gu Xiaughed.


    "By the way, there is something I want to discuss with you. A few days ago, an agent from a modelingpany offered me to join theirpany to be a model. He also said that it would be easy for me to debut alongside my studies. So, I''ve been thinking about it.


    I also asked Hu Chao, and he said that thepany is one of thergest modelpanies in the United Sta*es. Every year, the Vict*ria Model Show has many models from theirpany. I was a little tempted. He said that after the model''s debut, after a year of endorsements andmercial activities, they can earn a lot." Tu Sisi suddenly turned her head and said to Gu Xia.


    "Modeling? I remember that when you went to your aunt''s house in Shan*hai in our previous life, you also said that someone from a modelingpany had approached you? Do you really want to enter the modeling industry?"


    Gu Xia remembered that it happened when they were not yet married in their previous life. Tu Sisi went to visit her aunt''s house in Shan*hai. A scout from a modelingpany in Shan*hai saw Tu Sisi and said that he wanted to sign her to enter the modeling industry. But at that time, Tu Sisi did not agree because she had just gotten pregnant.


    In this life, she had the same encounter. It was the same people from the modeling industry.


    Everyone had a dream they wanted to realize, so how could he stop her?


    Besides, the entertainment industry in foreign countries were much better than in Ch*na, and there were few unspoken rules and things like that. So, Gu Xia was more at ease.


    "And my parents also agreed. If I enter the modeling industry, my sister will have it easy too. When I start to earn money, I can buy a new house for my parents. So that my sister can rent a house and live together with my brother-inw. That way, they wont have to do a long-distance rtionship. Also, the modeling industry is rtively less constraining, and I can also work and study at the same time."


    After Tu Sisi finished speaking, she looked at Gu Xia, and when she saw him smiling at her, a big weight fell down from her heart. Although she had made up her mind to be a model, which was also her dream, she still wanted to get Gu Xia''s approval. With his support, she would feel more at ease in her heart.


    "Haha~ Since you want to do it, just do it. If you have the opportunity to realize your dream, you must go for it. You had regrets about this in our past life because of having children, but you can make up for that now. If people recognize you, that means you have capital, and maybe next year I will see you on the television." Gu Xia said with his arms around Tu Sisi.


    "Alright~ I will try my best."


    Tu Sisi kissed Gu Xia''s cheek and said with a sweet smile, "Then I''ll contact them! Okay, I''m going to ss, you can go back to the apartment. I''ll find you after ss."


    "Hmm~"


    Gu Xia watched Tu Sisi enter the ssroom, smiled and walked away.


    *****


    Tu Sisi sat in the ssroom and felt very relieved. It was the best feeling when she could pursue her dream and that her family and loved ones would support her. She was afraid that on the path of pursuing her dream, her family and loved ones would not support her, and that was the most terrifying thing.


    There were many people on the path of starting a business or pursuing their dreams who could not persevere due to theck of support from their family members, coupled with a few setbacks, they did not survive for long and had to give up.

 Chapter 59: Li Sichengs marriage

    Chapter 59: Li Sichengs marriage


    After Gu Xia left Col*mbia University, he was very bored. He didn''t know what to do. One of the reasons was that he wasn''t familiar with the ce, while the other was that he did not understand thenguage at all.


    Gu Xia felt like he was in a fantasy novel. It was as if he had traveled from modern times to another world, and he was not ustomed to the environment at all!


    Gu Xia stopped a taxi and showed him the note with Tu Sisi''s address that he was carrying.


    Now Gu Xia took this note with him wherever he went. Otherwise, if he got lost, he really wouldn''t know what to do!


    After arriving near Tu Sisi''s residence, Gu Xia paid the driver, and then went to W*l-Mart to buy some vegetables to put in the refrigerator.


    *****


    Back in Chi*a, it was night.


    Li Sicheng and Wang Qian were shopping in the supermarket. During this time, the two made rapid progress in their rtionship. They had already met their parents and nned to get married a yearter, after Wang Qian finishes her studies. Now, they were buying invitations and things they would need for the marriage ceremony.


    "It''s a pity that Sisi is not here, otherwise she would be perfect as my bridesmaid." Wang Qian sighed.


    "There''s no other way, shes getting treatment." Li Sicheng hugged Wang Qian andforted her.


    "Im alright. I don''t know when I can see her."


    "Soon, Shell be back when she gets better." Li Sicheng said.


    "Okay~ by the way, did you tell Gu Xia that we are getting married and asked him to be the best man?" Wang Qian asked.


    "Not yet. I''ll give him a callter, and he''ll definitely agree anyways."


    "Hmm~"


    *****


    At Gu Xia''s house, Li Jingjing was in Gu Qin''s room. The two were lying on the bed. Gu Qin was ying with the smartphone Gu Xia had bought her, with a smile on her face.


    Li Jingjing stared at the words "Brother Xiaoxia" on the mobile phone screen in a daze.


    Gu Qin looked at Li Jingjing who was in a daze, and couldn''t help sighing, <em>My best friend, why have you been acting like thistely?</em>


    Gu Qin said helplessly, "Oh Jingjing, you can call my brother if you want. He rejected you, but you can continue to chase him! Its not like they are married yet! You still have a chance! I support you. Whats more, if you get together Gu Xia, my parents and your mother will be very happy too."


    Li Jingjing heard her words, bit her lip, but still didn''t speak.


    "You! If you avoid my brother like this, not only will you grow further and further apart, but the possibility between the two of you will be even more impossible. Woman! Grab your love tightly in your own hands, or you will regret itter." Gu Qin used what she had watched on TV and romance novels to enlighten Li Jingjing.


    "Haah~"


    Li Jingjing sighed, didn''t she also know that? But would that really be good? Her Brother Xiaoxia didn''t like her, could she really grab him?


    Li Jingjing didn''t know anything about Gu Xia''s unknown girlfriend, and an unknown opponent was terrifying! She didn''t even know where to start. She also didn''t know where she had advantages and disadvantagespared to her unknown rival.


    Li Jingjing looked at Gu Qin, and suddenly envied her a little. She envied her ability to be carefree every day, and always have a smile.


    They say that true love came true, but she didn''t know when her own feelings woulde true!


    *****


    "Who do you think of when you''re alone, do you also want to be with someone"


    Gu Xia, who was watching TV, picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and jokingly said, "Sicheng, you finally had the time to call me. Are you sure that you want to talk to me rather than going all kissy-kissy with your Wang Qian!"


    "Hehe, why are you spouting nonsense? Come out, lets go for a drink. We''ve almost reached your house." Li Sichengughed.


    "I want to drink but Im afraid I can''t~"


    "What''s wrong?" Li Sicheng asked suspiciously.


    "I''m in Amer*ca."


    "Ah! Did you go to meet Sisi? When did you go?" Li Sicheng asked in surprise. Wang Qian next to him also looked at Li Sicheng after hearing their conversation.


    "Well, I came yesterday." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Oh~ when are youing back? Wang Qian and I are going to get married on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, and I want you to be my best man."


    Gu Xia smiled when he heard the words, the speed these two people were advancing was really fast! They were already about to get married.


    "Don''t worry, I''lle back before that. I''ll be the best man when you get married." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Alright, how is it like in the US? Is it fun?" Li Sicheng asked.


    "Far from it! You also know that my English is poor shi*t. There are foreigners everywhere here, and I can''t understand theirnguage, so I can''t do anything." Gu Xia smiled bitterly.


    "Haha, who told you to be such an idiot. Arent you a university student? You can''t even speak English. Even I can say Hello! My name is Li Sicheng." Li Sicheng joked, and Wang Qian next to himughed out loud.


    Gu Xia rolled his eyes, who couldn''t say that! Even elementary school students knew how to say it. But what''s the use of just being able to say hello? If you wanted to ask for directions, you wouldnt know how to ask. If you wanted to eat, you wouldnt know how to order food. You wouldnt understand road signs, or understand menus, you wouldnt understand anything.


    Besides, foreigners didn''t speak English like the teacher who taught us. They speak English very fast. Gu Xia once tried to listen to what they were saying, and it all seemed like a bunch of gibberish. He felt dizzy.


    "Why are you getting married so quickly? It''s only ten days until the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, why are you in so much hurry? It''s not like you made Wang Qian''s belly bigger, right? Didnt you wear a cond*m?" After Gu Xia finished speaking, he remembered what he did in his previous life.


    "Fu*k you, who would forget to use a cond*m!" Li Sicheng scolded with a smile.


    "What cond*m?" Wang Qian asked.


    Li Sicheng smiled, and whispered in Wang Qian''s ear. Wang Qian''s face immediately turned red, and she scolded, "This Gu Xia is so bad. Sisi was right, he really has a dirty mind. So annoying! Just wait for me to call Sisi and ask her to discipline him properly."


    "Haha~ Did you hear that? My wife says that shell call Sisi and ask her to discipline you." Li Sichengughed.


    Gu Xia heard them, touched his nose in embarrassment.


    "The main reason is that both of our parents knew about our rtionship, and we both were their only children. As soon as the adults met up, they decided for us to get married during the New Year. They also said that, when we have children in the future, they would take turns looking after them. Our house was renovated a long time ago, and weve finished buying all the home appliances and furniture. So were just waiting to get married and move in." Li Sicheng looked at Wang Qian and said with a smile.


    "Hehe, that''s fine, congrattions! I will send a housewarming gift in the future." Gu Xia smiled.


    "How are you and Sisi?"


    "It''s alright, we stick together every day, just like you two." Gu Xia smiled.


    "That''s good, I don''t know when you and Sisi will be able to take the next step. My son will probably be running around and the two of you will still be just taking it slow."


    "Haha~ I''m not sure. Even if we want to get married, we have to wait until after graduating from the university." Gu Xiaughed.


    Gu Xia was right, Tu Sisi''s illness had not stabilized yet, and she was still studying. Whats more, she was going to enter the modeling industry. They had to stay in different countries and it was impossible for him to run here every day. So, it wasnt possible for them to get married in a short time.


    Moreover, with the current bond between himself and Tu Sisi, it didn''t matter whether they get married or not. After all, the two had long regarded each other as their other half.


    Marriage was just a formality for the two of them. However, it was something that had to be done, otherwise their parents would definitely haveints. Gu Xia also wanted to make a career before marriage and give Tu Sisi a grand wedding. He wanted to create a better future for the both of them!

 Chapter 60: Very good and strong

    Chapter 60: Very good and strong


    "Hehe~ Then well be waiting for you and Sisi''s wedding wine." Li Sichengughed.


    "Hehe, it''s still early, let''s drink yours first!"


    "Don''t worry! I''ll be back in a week. Just after I go back, you''ll get married in two days. By the way, do you want my car to pick you up?" Gu Xia asked.


    "Have you bought a car?" Li Sicheng asked.


    "I bought it not long ago. Didn''t I say I didst time? I bought a car because I often have to travel to the capital and the train takes too long."


    "Oh, what car did you buy? It won''t be QQ or something, right!?" (G:The Chery QQ is a city car produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery.)


    "Just kidding, how can a big man like me drive such a small car? Your brother bought a Mercedes-Benz with a price of several hundred thousand." Gu Xia deliberately made his voice arrogant.


    "You liar! Yourpany is making that much money? You actually bought a Mercedes-Benz. And here I thought that you bought a Santana!" Li Sicheng obviously didn''t believe what Gu Xia said. He knew that Gu Xia had started apany with others, but he still thought it was impossible to make so much money in such a short amount of time. (G:The Volkswagen Santana is a namete used by Volkswagen for various sedans and station wagons.)


    "Why would I lie to you, forget it, you will know when Ie to your marriage ceremony." Gu Xia said helplessly, no one would believe when he spoke the truth.


    That was how society was now! No one believed the truth, they tended to believe the lie.


    "If you really bought a Mercedes-Benz, then I''ll use your Mercedes-Benz for the wedding car. Itll save me from renting a wedding car." Li Sicheng smiled.


    "Okay, wait until I get back."


    "Alright, I wanted to have a drink with you, but if you are in the United States, I guess that wont be possible."


    Well drink when you get married."


    *****


    After hanging up the phone, Gu Xia continued to watch a boring TV show. It was really hard to be alone in the United States!


    Gu Xia thought about it and went out for a walk. He felt it was too boring to stay at home alone.


    After going out, Gu Xia became confused again. He didn''t know where to go. Except for Walma*t, he didn''t seem to have been anywhere before. Gu Xia didn''t understand any of the road signs on the road either.


    After thinking about it, Gu Xia came back home. It was the first time that he felt the importance of English as a globalnguage. Unfortunately, it was toote to regret it now.


    Gu Xia didn''t even know how he took the high school entrance exam in English. <em>Did I cheat on that exam?</em> Gu Xia didn''t remember the exam at all.


    With no other options, Gu Xia could only turn to his phone. He yed with the mobile phone, cooked noodles at noon, and continued to watch TV and then y with the mobile phone again. Just when Gu Xia felt that he was going crazy, the sound of the key opening the door came.


    Gu Xia was excited, <em>Sisi finally came back! </em>(G: this dude is acting like a dog.)


    When Tu Sisi walked into the door, she found Gu Xia standing right in front of her. She shivered with fright and dropped her mobile phone to the ground.


    Tu Sisi patted her chest in a hurry, took a breath, and said, "You''re going to scare people to death! Why are you standing at the door, and you didn''t even make a sound." After that she picked up her phone, fortunately there was a protective case, so it didn''t break.


    "Haha~ Isnt it because I miss you too much?" Gu Xiaughed.


    Tu Sisi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I''m going to take a bath, and you''ll treat me to steakter. I don''t know why, I really want to eat steak today."


    "Hehe~ Okay, let''s go take a shower!" Gu Xiaughed.


    Gu Xia was not that excited about eating steak. It wasnt that he didnt like it, it''s just that there wasnt enough of this stuff. All they served was just a small piece of beef, and it was not enough to even dry his teeth. In this era, the steakhouses were not self-service, and there were no fruit drinks. It was quite expensive, and was far less popr than the self-service steak in the future.


    After Tu Sisi finished taking a shower, the two walked to the street holding hands.


    Tu Sisi pointed to a western style restaurant across the road and said, "Lets go to this one, the food here one not only tastes good, but also has a lot of weight. You always say that there isnt enough."


    "No matter how much the weight is, it''s still a piece of meat the size of a palm." Gu Xia pouted.


    "You''re wrong, there are three kinds of steaks in this house. The small steak is the same size as a normal steak, the medium steak is the size of a home-made dish, and therge steak is no different from a wok.


    This is the only western restaurant in New Yo*k that offersrge, medium and small steaks, but the price of this restaurant is also a bit more expensive than other western restaurants." Tu Sisi introduced.


    "Oh~ it turns out that there is such a steak. I want to try arge portion. As for the price, just how expensive can that steak be, it doesnt matter as long as it is delicious. Let''s go!"


    Inside the western restaurant, it was almost evening, and there were already many people dining. Gu Xia and Tu Sisi asked for a booth by the window.


    Tu Sisi spoke to the waiter in English, and ordered two ck pepper steaks, onerge and one small, and a bottle of red wine.


    "I didn''t expect that during your stay in the United Sta*es, your English has improved so much. I remember that before, your English was just average." Gu Xia smiled.


    Tu Sisi gave him a look and said, "Why are you talking nonsense? Of course my English is not bad. I''ve been in the US for a few months already. If it''s not good, I''d be considered an idiot."


    Gu Xia heard her, touched his nose and said, "Even if I stayed here for a year, I guess I wouldn''t be able to speak English so well. I really cant do it."


    "Hehe~"


    Tu Sisi couldn''t helpughing. Gu Xia was notorious for his bad English. She remembered that when she was in university, she taught him English in her previous life. Who knew, this guy would forget it all after just two minutes. At that time, she was really angry and called him an idiot.


    Soon Tu Sisi''s small steak arrived. Gu Xia looked at the steak in front of her. There was a piece of steak that was not the size of a palm and a half-cooked poached egg, plus some spaghetti.


    Seeing Gu Xia''s expression, Tu Sisi knew what he was thinking, and couldn''t helpughing inwardly. <em>When the big steakes up, I''ll see how you eat it.</em>


    Within two minutes, two waiters came over with a pot-shaped iron te, put it in front of Gu Xia, opened the lid, said something word in English and left. Gu Xia did not understand what they said, and guessed the meaning should be please eat it slowly or something!


    Gu Xia looked at the steak in front of him, became stunned, and suddenly wanted to swear. This steak was really as big as the pan. It was covered with ck pepper juice, and the ck pepper juice sizzled on the iron te. There was nothing but steak on the iron te, no poached eggs, and no pasta. However, the aroma was very good, very strong!


    "How is it? Is this enough!" Tu Sisiughed.


    She was also taken aback when she saw thisrge portion of steak for the first time. At that same time, a fat American man was also eating it. Tu Sisi saw that he kept eating the steak, and showed a defeated expression. Tu Sisi was so frightened that she swallowed her saliva, and sighed in her heart, <em>This steak is really big!</em>


    "Alright, just watch me! Your husband, I will definitely finish it today." Gu Xia vowed.


    "Then I''ll wait and see." Tu Sisi smiled.


    Soon Tu Sisi finished eating her steak, then wiped her mouth, leaned on the chair and watched Gu Xia eat, only to see that Gu Xia had eaten most of the steak.


    In addition to the half ss of wine in Tu Sisi''s ss, the rest of the bottle of red wine went into Gu Xia''s stomach.


    Gu Xia felt a little overwhelmed. It was the first time he had eaten a steak of this size alone, and he still had not finished eating the steak. Fortunately, the steak was fresh and the ck pepper sauce tasted very good.


    In order to stay true to his words, Gu Xia finished eating the whole steak. The moment he finished eating, Gu Xia felt that he would lose his appetite just by looking at a steak in the future. After all, he ate too much this time.


    Gu Xia leaned back on the chair, touched his round belly, and let out a sigh!

 Chapter 61: Tremor through the body

    Chapter 61: Tremor through the body


    "Haha~" Tu Sisi covered her mouth andughed.


    Gu Xia nced at her, this woman was really gloating!


    "By the way, now I can get a limited-edition Di*ney doll." Tu Sisi suddenly thought of something.


    "Huh? A doll, where can we get that?" Gu Xia asked.


    "Here! See there, as long as you finish arge steak in this restaurant, you can get a Disney limited edition doll." Tu Sisi said, pointing to a counter next to the cashier. The counter was filled with all kinds of Di*ney characters.


    "So you brought me here to eat arge steak for this!" Gu Xia said with a wry smile.


    "Haha~ On the one hand, it''s to keep you full, and on the other hand, it''s for this Mi*key''s doll." Tu Sisi stuck out her tongue andughed.


    Gu Xia couldn''t help but smile, she is so cheeky!


    Gu Xia looked at the Mi*key doll that Tu Sisi was holding. <em>I won this puppet with my life on the line!</em>


    "Let''s go! I''m going to take a walk, or else my stomach will feel ufortable!" Gu Xia got up and said to Tu Sisi.


    When paying the bill, it was really expensive. He had to pay 900 dors, which was equivalent to 6,000 yuan in Chi*a. If you wanted to sell a steak in Chi*a for 6,000, few people would be willing to eat it, unless it is opened in a metropolis like the magic capital of Kyoto, an ordinary city. The business would go bankrupt. In an average city, the monthly sry of the people was generally three or four thousand, and it would take two months'' sry to eat a steak like this. Not many people could afford it.


    Gu Xia walked out of the restaurant with a swollen belly under the eyes of the waiter who was surprised by Gu Xia''s appetite and the envy of other guests who wanted a Di*ney dolls.


    "Haha~ You didn''t see everyone''s expression, it''s like seeing someone who just got out of the prison, it made meugh to death." Tu Sisiughed.


    "See how great I am." Gu Xia nced at her and said calmly.


    Tu Sisi gave him an eye roll, this guy really likes to feel good about himself!


    The two walked slowly on the street. Manhat*an at night was the same as it was at daytime, and the colorful lights shone on people''s faces.


    A burst of music came into Gu Xia''s ears. Gu Xia looked at it and saw an old man ying the saxophone with a melodious and sad voice.


    From time to time, people stopped in front of the old man, and put money at his feet. Gu Xia took Tu Sisi and walked over, took out 100 dors from his pocket and ced it at the feet of the old man, and then continued to walk forward.


    The old man who yed the saxophone looked at Gu Xia''s figure with deep eyes, and continued to y the saxophone, but his voice became louder and louder, as if thanking those who gave him the money.


    "Why did you give him so much money? Everyone pays one or two dors, but you gave one hundred dors directly. Do you know how many people perform like this on the streets of the United Stat*s." Tu Sisi said.


    "Hehe~ Life is not easy for the elderly, and he also ys really nice, so it''s fine." Gu Xiaughed.


    "Youthat''s why I dont feel at ease, you''re such a big spender." Tu Sisi said helplessly.


    "Hehe~"


    In their past life, Tu Sisi said this sentence basically every day. In the past, Gu Xia would be annoyed to death every time he heard it, but now it gave him a warm feeling.


    "Let''s go! Let''s go back." Gu Xia hugged Tu Sisi and smiled.


    Tu Sisi gave him a helpless look. This guy was always like this, he acted like a fool, every time she talked to him, he smiled when he was happy, and showed a cold face when he was unhappy. He was just like a child, he showed everything on his face. This kind of person was incapable of scheming and would never betray others.


    The two talked and walked on the way and walked back.


    *****


    In Tu Sisi''s residence, Gu Xiay on the sofa as soon as he entered the room, with a very tired expression.


    "You! It''s you who said that we should walk, and now its you who isining about being tired." Tu Sisi said helplessly, looking at Gu Xia''szy expression.


    "You know that I don''t like to walk and go shopping. Im fine with running in the morning, but I cant walk and go shopping! I can''t bear it. If I hadn''t had that steak, how could I have walked for so long!" Gu Xia rolled his eyes andughed at himself.


    "Youre sozy!"


    After Tu Sisi took a bath, she found that Gu Xia was still lying in that same position, so she couldn''t help but walk over and patted him and said, "If you don''t take a bath, your body will stink."


    "Ah!"


    It turned out that Gu Xia stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, startling her.


    "What are you doing, you scared me to death." Tu Sisi said angrily.


    "No~"


    Gu Xia took Tu Sisi''s lips, and the two started to hug and kiss.


    After a long time, the two separated, and Tu Sisiy paralyzed on Gu Xia.


    "Now you know whether I''m smelly or fragrant!"


    Gu Xia''s hand started groping around her body, feeling those full tender mounds, and he couldn''t get enough of it.


    Tu Sisi twisted her body and softly said, "Don''t touch them like that, it tickles~"


    "Your breas*ts are a bit bigger than they were in our previous life. They feel the same size as you were when you were pregnant. What''s going on, was there a second development? Or you have grown it yourself." Gu Xia teased.


    "Ah!" Gu Xia suddenly cried out in pain, it turned out that the flesh on his waist was pinched by Tu Sisi again.


    "Damn it, youre the only one who touches them. I don''t know, I think theyre the same." Tu Sisi rolled her eyes.


    "Oh! It does indeed feel a little bigger."


    "Don''t be sozy, go take a bath and sleep." Tu Sisi pushed Gu Xia off and said.


    Gu Xia got up and whispered into Tu Sisi''s ear, "I''m going to take a shower, you just wait for me in the room." After that, he touched Tu Sisi''s mounds again, and then walked into the bathroom with a smile.


    "Go to hell!"


    Tu Sisi nced at him with a flushed face.


    After taking a shower, Gu Xia wiped his body dry and walked into the room without wearing any clothes. When he saw Tu Sisi watching TV, he jumped onto the bed and got into the quilt.


    "Don''t make trouble, I''m watching TV." Tu Sisi patted him and said.


    "What kind of TV are you watching, what''s so good about this TV, why don''t you just watch me." After saying that, Gu Xia grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV.


    "What''s so beautiful about you, I watched when you were thin, and I watched when you were fat, and I am tired of watching you." Tu Sisi said.


    "Ha ha~ You might get tired of watching me, but I''m never going to be tired of you!"


    "Come on, let me check to see if your breas*ts have really gotten bigger."


    "Ah~"


    *****


    The two were cuddled for a while, and the room was full of spring feelings.


    Sometimeter.


    Tu Sisi''s face was flushed red, she was panting as she grabbed Gu Xia''s hands, and bit his shoulder, then said with an angry expression, "You pervert, all you know is to bully me every day. I already said that my Aunt came, but you did this again"


    "Then what about that thing you said youd give me, didn''t you promise? If you don''t do that today, I willhe he~" Gu Xia said with a wicked smile.


    "Alright, you win"


    After speaking, Tu Sisi gave Gu Xia a nk look and climbed into the quilt.


    *****


    About ten minutester, Gu Xia''s voice full of ecstasy was heard throughout the room.


    Suddenly, Gu Xia felt a tremor run down his spine, and he relished the aftertaste of the pleasure he felt from his lower body.

 Chapter 62: Return to Chi*a

    Chapter 62: Return to Chi*a


    "What the hell are you doing, you want to tell the whole building about what were doing!?"


    The more Tu Sisi thought about it, the more angry she became. This guy was really so bad. His voice was so loud and lewd that Tu Sisi was worried that others would hear him.


    Thinking of it again, Tu Sisi angrily took another bite on Gu Xia''s shoulder, she was really mad. It was the first time she had done that for him, but he only cared about his ownfort and didn''t know how to hide his voice. At first nce, it was probably intentional, and she didnt know if Hu Chao heard it or not. If he heard it, how would she face him in the future! The guy lived right next door.


    "Hey~ don''t bite, I was wrong, the meat will fall off if you bite again!" Gu Xia sucked in cold air due to the pain.


    Only then did Tu Sisie back to her senses. She was probably distracted and unconsciously, she exerted a lot of strength. Only now did she notice a deep bite mark on Gu Xia''s shoulder, and there was even blood seeping out.


    Tu Sisi looked at Gu Xia''s expression of constantly breathing cold air, and hurriedly spoke with a coquettish expression, "I''m sorry, it wasn''t intentional~"


    "If you really did it on purpose, this piece of meat from my body would fall off"


    Gu Xia touched the bitten piece of bulging meat. It probably will not recover in the future.


    "Okay, don''t be angry, wait, I''ll give you something." After Gu Xia finished speaking, he ran to the side of the suitcase naked, took out the small box, and then returned to the bed.


    "Here, open it and see if you like it or not."


    Tu Sisi already knew that it might be a gold ring or something, but she hadn''t opened itst time, and now holding that box, she was still a little excited.


    "Wow~" Tu Sisi opened the box and eximed.


    She saw a sparkling diamond ring in the box. Under the illumination of the light, it reflected various colors and was gorgeous.


    "Do you like it?" Gu Xia smiled while hugging Tu Sisi.


    "Hmmmm~" Tu Sisi kept nodding in emotion.


    She didn''t expect Gu Xia to buy a diamond ring for her. At this time, as long as the jewelry has something to do with diamonds, it would be very expensive.


    "Why am I feeling so moved? It made me cry, I hate it~" Tu Sisi said gently beating Gu Xia''s chest.


    "Didn''t you always like diamonds? So I bought them, and in the future I''ll make you wear diamonds all over your neck, hands, feet, and ears." Gu Xia smiled.


    "How can you get so much money? You are not allowed to spend so much money. It is better to save the money to buy a few more houses. When the house prices skyrocket in the future, you will be able to earn a lot of money." Tu Sisi said angrily.


    "Hehe~ I want to buy both houses and diamond jewelry, don''t worry! I will definitely make a lot of money, and I will never be as mediocre as I was in my previous life."


    Gu Xia seemed to be making a promise to Tu Sisi, but he was actually also making a promise to himself.


    "Alright~ I''ll work hard too." Tu Sisi saidzily.


    "Ah~"


    "Hateful~ Why are you doing that again?"


    "It''s been too long"


    Suddenly there were waves on the bed again.


    *****


    Three days passed in a sh, Gu Xia apanied Tu Sisi in addition to sleeping and watching TV every day. The two of them wandered around the whole New Yo*k, and never got tired of being together every day.


    New Yo*k International Airport


    "I''m really reluctant to let you go, Ill be alone again if you go." Tu Sisi said, madly holding onto Gu Xia.


    "Don''t worry, I''lle to see you when I have time, and don''t you have a cell phone? Call me when you miss me." Gu Xia patted Tu Sisi on the back andforted.


    "Alright~ You have to think about me every day when I''m not by your side. If you dare to mess around in the country, I will castrate you." After Tu Sisi finished speaking, she made a gesture of clenching her hands.


    Gu Xia Dun felt a chill between his legs, so scary!


    "Don''t worry, don''t you know me?" Gu Xia hurriedly assured her.


    "Hum~"


    Tu Sisi nced at him and said with a cold snort, "It''s almost time to go."


    "Hmm~"


    Gu Xia nodded, then held up Tu Sisi''s face and kissed her delicate red lips.


    "I''m leaving."


    After Gu Xia finished speaking, he turned around and left. He was afraid that if he stayed for a while, he would not be able to leave.


    Tu Sisi looked at Gu Xia''s back and pursed her lips. She really wanted to keep Gu Xia, but she knew that this was not the time. He had a university to attend, apany to take care of, and his family didn''t know her existence. So she could only wait untilter.


    If the rtionshipsts for a long time, it may not be possible to be together day and night, but that doesnt mean youll grow apart.


    *****


    The next day, Jiangb*i Airport in Jiangb*i City, Chi*a.


    Gu Xia walked out of the cabin and shook his still ufortable head.


    When he walked to the parking lot, he found his car covered with dust. After Gu Xia paid the parking fee, he drove home.


    On the way, he called Li Sicheng and promised to sit down and gather in the evening.


    When he got home, it was noon, and there was no one at home. His parents should have gone to work. As for his sister, Gu Qin, she should have gone out to y with her ssmates.


    Gu Xia touched his hungry stomach. There are still some leftovers fromst night on the table. Fortunately, there was also some leftover rice in the rice cooker. Gu Xia decided to go out to buy two ham sausages. He put ham sausages every time he cooked fried rice, and if he eats it alone, he would put three eggs. Gu Xia''s mother, Deng Ling, always said that Gu Xia was wasting money.


    After he bought a pack of ham sausages, he was walking upstairs and happened to meet Li Jingjing who was throwing garbage downstairs. Gu Xia was stunned for a moment. He hadn''t seen this girl for a long time, and she looked as if she had gotten a little thin.


    Gu Xia smiled and asked, "Throwing out the garbage?"


    Although things were a bit awkward after what happenedst Christmas Eve, but they were neighbors after all and have been ymates since childhood. It was one thing not to encounter each other, but if there was an encounter, he had to greet her at the very least!


    "Hmm." Li Jingjing blushed and responded.


    "Oh, it''s Xiao Xia! You came back from the United Stat*s? Was the United Stat*s lot of fun?" It turned out to be Li Jingjing''s mother, Aunt Zhang, who came downstairs and saw Gu Xia saying hello.


    "Yes it was, Auntie is going out with Jingjing?" Gu Xia said with a smile.


    Thats good. I''m going to buy Jingjing two sets of New Year''s clothes. Theres not even ten days left before the New Year." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.


    "Hehe, that''s right, it''s almost New Year''s Eve, you really should buy two new clothes." Gu Xiaughed.


    After listening to Aunt Zhang, Gu Xia also nned to go out to buy a few clothes for his parents and sister. But after thinking about it for a moment, he decided to wait for them toe back and go shopping together! Otherwise, he wouldnt know what style they liked and what size they wear.


    "Xiao Xia, you are going to eat fried rice again! This kid, your habit hasn''t changed since you were a child. You add ham sausage to fried rice every time. I remember when you were a child, your father used to scold you a lot for this." Aunt Zhang smiled.


    Li Jingjing on the side also covered her mouth andughed.


    "Okay, I''m going to buy clothes for Jingjing, go and eat fried rice!"


    "Okay~ Goodbye Aunt Zhang, goodbye Jingjing." Gu Xia said with a smile and waved.


    When he got home, Gu Xia fried a lot of egg fried rice, and filled arge te as if it was some kind of special dish. Gu Xia loved to eat this egg fried rice since he was a child. He remembered when he was in junior high, when he was still developing, Gu Xia would eat it every morning. He even went to school with two big bowls of egg fried rice. He would eat two bowls at noon, three bowls at night, a total of seven bowls of fried rice a day. At that time, his ssmates said that he was a rice bucket.


    After eating the egg fried rice, Gu Xia touched his stomach with satisfaction, <em>Ah! That was so tasty!</em>

    I suddenly got sick yesterday with high fever and cold. I had to trante this chapter with a 103 degrees fever, an aching body, a runny nose and a terrible headache. Can''t lower my professionalism! Pray for me!

 Chapter 63: Its nice to be home

    Chapter 63: Its nice to be home


    In the afternoon, Gu Xia was at home alone. He didnt go out, and he didnt know where to hang out. The good friends who he used to hang out with were Li Sicheng and Fatty. Fatty went to the factory. Li Sicheng was probably still preparing for marriage at home, and he had asked him toe hang out at night.


    Gu Xia watched thetest TV series alone at home. Although he had watched it in his previous life, he had almost forgotten about it. It was still very interesting to watch it again now.


    He spent the afternoon watching TV, and in the evening, his sister Gu Qin came back.


    "Yo~ Gu Xia, why did youe back? I thought you were going to the United Stat*s to y until the Chinese New Year." Gu Qin said with wide eyes. After speaking, Gu Qin stretched out her right hand and continued, "Where''s the souvenir?"


    Gu Xia looked at the hand stretched out in front of him and touched his nose with a wry smile. He really forgot about this.


    "Forgot to bring it."


    Hearing that, Gu Qin angrily said, "You really forget your sister, and forget your parents after getting a girl!"


    "Haven''t you heard that a beautysp is a heros grave?"


    "Gu Xia, you should focus on your studies now, understand!"


    "You are a typical romeo, forgetting your mother, forgetting your father, and forgetting me."


    Gu Xia: ""


    <em>Where did this girl find so many bullsh*t, she keeps chattering non-stop!</em>


    Gu Xia hit her head with a ck line on his face, and this girl probably won''t shut up about this for the next three days.


    "Ouch!"


    "You hit me! Gu Xia, you didn''t bring me a souvenir, and you hit me, do you still think of me as your sister?" Gu Qin said with a sad face while covering her forehead.


    "Alright, now listen! I''ll take you out tomorrow to buy clothes and food. Its just that you have to ask our parents about their size in the evening and help them buy a few sets of clothes, got it?" Gu Xia touched his nose and said.


    A smile shed on Gu Qin''s face when she heard this, but she immediately pretended to be angry and said, "Hmph~ Then I will buy a lot of food and clothes tomorrow."


    "Okay~" Gu Xia smiled and touched her head.


    "Oh~ don''t touch my head, youre messing up my hair. I just washed my hair this morning."


    Gu Qin hit Gu Xia''s hand in dissatisfaction, and then straightened her hair.


    ~Who do you think of when you''re alone~


    Gu Xia looked at the phone. It was Li Sicheng who called. Gu Xia received the call and said, "Sicheng, where are you?"


    "I am downstairs in your house,e down!"


    "Okay, I''ll go down now." Gu Xia replied, and then said to Gu Qin, "I''m not going to be home for dinner. Tell Mom when shees back to cook."


    "I''m going too." Gu Qin said when she heard that he was having dinner with Li Sicheng.


    "Okay! Okay! Then I''ll call Mom."


    Gu Xia told his mother that he and Gu Qin would be having dinner outside, and then went downstairs with Gu Qin.


    Seeing Li Sicheng and Wang Qian snuggling together, Gu Xia smiled and said, "Wherever you go, you fall into a world of your own, so you can''t pay attention to others around you. Wait until you go back and then make out again."


    You" Li Sichengughed and scolded, and then said to Gu Qin, "Qin Qin is here too!"


    Li Sicheng and Gu Xia often yed together, so naturally he knew Gu Qin, and he also knew Gu Xia''s parents.


    "Well, Brother Sicheng, this is your girlfriend! She''s so beautiful." Gu Qin said sweetly.


    "Hello, Qinqin!" Wang Qian greeted her with a smile.


    "She is not just his girlfriend, they are getting married soon, and she will be his wife soon." Gu Xia smiled.


    "Ah! You''re getting married! Brother Sicheng, it''s too early! You haven''t turned 20 yet." Gu Qin said in surprise.


    Li Sicheng smiled when he heard her and said, "It''s not too early. I haven''t continued my studies, so I must get married a little earlier."


    "Haha~ It''s almost the same, you are just one year older than me. I will be 19 next year, and you will be 20. Maybe you will be a dad really soon as well, haha~" Gu Xiaughed.


    Hearing this, Li Sicheng smiled and hugged Wang Qian who was blushing.


    "Look, this is the car I bought. I didn''t lie to you! Isnt this a Mercedes-Benz? And you said that I lied to you." After Gu Xia pressed the key, the headlights suddenly turned on.


    Li Sicheng smacked Gu Xia on the shoulder in surprise and said, "I rely on you then! Yourpany makes a lot of money! You really bought a Mercedes-Benz, worth hundreds of thousands."


    "Gu Xia is really amazing." Wang Qian alsoughed.


    "My car is enough to be your wedding car!" Gu Xia said with a smile.


    "It is indeed enough. Originally, I wanted to rent an Audi A4 as a wedding car, but now that you have a Mercedes-Benz, why would I do that? It''s bigger and more stylish than that car, and it will save me 800 yuan in renting a car!" Li Sicheng said happily. At present, it was still very expensive to spend 800 yuan to rent a car.


    "Hehe~ Let''s go! Let''s go eat. I''ve been dying to eat barbecue in the past few days abroad." Gu Xiaughed.


    "Haha~"


    "Gu Xia, you are so greedy"


    *****


    The four came to the ce they usually eat, Gu Xia ordered a Sheep Scorpion Pot and a lot of barbecue.


    "Come on, have a drink!"


    Gu Xia opened a bottle of aged liquor and poured a ss for Li Sicheng and himself.


    Wang Qian and Guqin were drinking hot soy milk.


    "You are getting married the day after tomorrow! Have you taken Wang Qian to your new home yet?" Gu Xia asked.


    "My home is also in the newly built area, so why won''t I go there!" Wang Qian said with a nk look.


    "Oh, is that so? Sicheng, where are you getting married! Is it in your hometown or here?" Gu Xia asked.


    "I wanted it to be here, but my dad wanted it to be in the country. He said that the country was lively, and some of his rtives were elderly, so they would also be able to attend." Li Sicheng said helplessly.


    "The countryside is fine, it''s really lively!" Gu Xia said with a smile.


    In his previous life, Gu Xia himself got married in the city. After picking up the bride and having dinner, everyone just left. However, In the countryside, the gongs and drums will be yed from the day before the wedding. Many rtives usuallye the day before, and everyone drinks the night before the wedding. They chat and y cards, and help out the next day. They pick up the bride early in the morning, while lighting firecrackers all the way, beating gongs and drums non-stop. Its all very lively.


    "Both of our parents all think this way, so it has to be like that. You have to go to my hometown the night after tomorrow, and then you will have to decorate your car, otherwise it would be toote the next morning." Li Sicheng said.


    "Alright~ I''ll go there the night after tomorrow." Gu Xia nodded and replied.


    "Come on, drink"


    *****


    The four of them separated not long after eating, and Li Sicheng''s father called him to go back to buy some things.


    On the street, Gu Xia was walking in and out of the clothing store with an excited Gu Qin, and Gu Xia had more and more bags on his body. In the end, Gu Xia and Gu Qin were both full of bags before going home.


    They bought three sets of clothes for their parents, five sets for Gu Qin, and two sets of clothes for Gu Xia, which cost more than 5,000 Yuan.


    When they got home, his mother, Deng Ling, saw that he had bought so many clothes, and scolded them saying that it was a waste of money! They already had clothes to wear etc.


    His father, Gu Feng, on the other hand, onlyughed.


    Gu Xia greeted his parents, took a shower, and went back to his room to sleep.

 Chapter 64: Homecoming

    Chapter 64: Homing


    Early the next morning, Gu Xia was woken up by a phone call.


    Gu Xia stumbled to receive the call, "Hello!"


    A rough and old voice came from the mobile phone and said, [Xia Xia! Youre still sleeping!]


    "Oh, Second Grandpa! What''s wrong, do you need me for something?" Gu Xia rubbed his eyes and asked.


    [It''s like this. I have pickled some dried radishes and cucumbers at home. If you are all right today,e to our house to get them. Theres some oil and rice, and I also filled two pots of our fifteen years old wine.]


    "Okay, Second Grandpa, I''ll go there when I get up." Gu Xia replied with a smile.


    Gu Xias Grandpa and Second Grandpa used to call him or his dad every once in a while to ask them to go back and get things. Whether it was oil, rice, vegetables from the vegetable field, or home brewed old wine, they kept some for Gu Xias family. The wine would be sealed for many years, until it became red and ck, like soy sauce. There were medicinal materials in it. It was sweet and delicious in the mouth, and had a silky texture. However, the wine itself was quite strong. This kind of wine was quite famous, and many people asked people from the vige to help make such a wine.


    [Bring Qinqin as well. I haven''t seen that girl for a long time.]


    "Alright! I''ll pull her out of bedter." Gu Xia smiled.


    [How are your grandparents?] The Second Grandpa asked.


    "They''re okay, they just keep talking about going back, but as you also know that the house is not ready yet." Gu Xia said helplessly.


    [Haha~ Us old people like the countryside. Come quickly now!]


    "Okay."


    Itsmonly said that the old people prefer sons to daughters and like grandsons, but Gu Xias Grandma, Second Grandpa, and Second Grandma before her death, liked Gu Qin very much. He remembered quite a lot of his childhood, so Gu Xia knew how jealous of Gu Qin he was when he was a child.


    Gu Xia still remembered that when they went to the countryside every summer vacation, Gu Qin always got more snacks than him. She never got beaten if she made a mistake, but he would get beaten if he ever made a mistake. His Second Grandpa would smile andfort him, then he would buy him candy.


    Gu Xia got up and put on his clothes. He came before Gu Qin''s room and knocked on the door. Then he directly pushed open the door. He was stunned by what he saw. Gu Qin and Li Jingjing were sleeping together. Gu Xia blinked, <em>What is this? Why is Li Jingjing sleeping on Gu Qins bed?</em>


    "Qinqin!" Gu Xia shouted.


    "Hmm~" Gu Qin and Li Jingjing both opened their eyes in a daze, and Gu Qin responded.


    "Brother, what are you doing~ Why are you disturbing my sleep!" Gu Qin muttered in dissatisfaction.


    "Brother Xiaoxia!" Li Jingjing shouted in a low voice.


    "Second Grandpa called and asked us to go to our hometown to get things. You have to go with me, he wants to meet you, get up quickly." Gu Xia said helplessly, looking at Gu Qin who was still in a daze. This girl definitely slept verytest night.


    "Oh!"


    "Jingjing, why don''t youe with us! You just happened to be with me today." Gu Qin poked Li Jingjing with her hand, and then winked at Li Jingjing, as if to say that I am creating opportunities for you.


    Li Jingjing looked at Gu Qin and then turned to look at Gu Xia. She was very moved, but she was afraid that Gu Xia would not agree.


    Seeing the expression of her best friend, Gu Qin knew that she was worried about Gu Xia''s opinion.


    "Brother, can Jingjing apany us? If she doesn''t go, I won''t go either." Gu Qin said tenderly.


    Gu Xia touched his nose. He actually didn''t want Li Jingjing to go, but since his sister said so, there was nothing he could do, so he had to say, "Alright then! Get up and take a shower."


    "Yeah~ that''s great." Gu Qin cheered.


    Li Jingjing''s face was also full of smiles.


    *****


    Gu Xia had been waiting in the car for almost an hour. He bought things like cigaret*es and milk for his Second Grandpa from the store, but before the two of them got down, he had already smoked two or three cigarettes. If it wasn''t too early, Gu Xia would have gone out to urge them.


    Just when Gu Xia was about to go to call them, he saw theming down. Both of them were wearing new clothes and put on some light makeup. It was a mystery what the two of them whispered, and theyughed like twin flowers.


    "Get in the car! You girls are really troublesome, it takes an hour to get ready." Gu Xia said helplessly.


    "Youre a man, so what do you know! You only know how to eat and drink." Gu Qin rolled her eyes.


    "Yeah! Us girls must dress up when we go out." Li Jingjing also agreed.


    Gu Xia pouted, but didn''t reply. The two of them joined together against him, so it was impossible for him to win. So he judged it better to change the subject.


    "Fasten your seat belt, were off."


    Gu Xia put in a disc, yed some music, and then drove to the country.


    Gu Xia listened to the song and drove quickly. It was only eight o''clock in the morning. There were not many cars on the road, and there were even fewer cars on the road to the countryside.


    There were wide asphalt roads along the way. Gu Xia remembered that it used to be a brick road. This asphalt road was builtter. At that time, his father used to rent a car to go back. The journey back would be quite bumpy. Gu Xia and Gu Qin would stick their heads out of the window and vomit. Gu Xia had a particrly deep impression of this road, it was a memory of childhood nightmares!


    After driving for half an hour, he got off the main road and entered the brick road. The road was full of potholes, so Gu Xia had to slow down, otherwise it would be hard on the chassis.


    Gu Xia saw from the rearview mirror that the two girls had fallen asleep, their heads leaning on the seat crookedly.


    Gu Xia shook his head, the two of them must have slept reallyte at night.


    Gu Xia opened the window, lit a cigaret*e, and took a deep breath haa~ The smell of the cigaret*e mixed with the smell of the soil on the side of the road, it felt extraordinarily fresh.


    It''s a pity that this was not the time to transnt or harvest rice, otherwise the fields would be green or yellow, which looked beautiful.


    Without a word, he drove for more than half an hour and arrived at the Second Grandpa''s house. While passing by their grandfather''s house, he saw athe the foundation was still being built. His grandparents wont be able to live in it until next year.


    At the door of the second grandfather''s house, Gu Xia woke up the two girls, and when he got out of the car, he saw their Second Grandpa lying on a reclining chair basking in the sun.


    "Second Grandpa, we are here." Gu Xia approached and called out.


    "Second Grandpa~"


    Gu Qin and Li Jingjing also shouted in a sweet tone.


    "Well, you are here! When you are old, you tend to fall asleep after lying down a bit." The Second Grandpa opened his eyes and said in a daze.


    "Second Grandpa, you may think you are old, but in Qinqin''s heart, you are not old at all, you will always be young." Gu Qin said tenderly, holding the Second Grandpa''s hand.


    "Haha~ You silly girl~ You have been a sweet talker since you were little." Second Grandpaughed.


    "Who is this? Xia Xia, your girlfriend?" Second Grandpa looked at Li Jingjing and asked.


    When Li Jingjing heard the words, her face flushed with blush, but she felt very sweet in her heart.


    Gu Xia touched his nose helplessly and said, "No, Second Grandpa. Her name is Li Jingjing. She is the neighbor across from my house and Qinqin''s ssmate."


    "So that''s how it is! The little girl is so beautiful." The Second Grandpa said with a smile.


    "Thanks for the praise, Grandpa." Li Jingjing smiled.

 Chapter 65: Being the best man

    Chapter 65: Being the best man


    "Haha~ Come in and sit." Their second grandpaughed.


    Gu Xia walked into the second grandpa''s house. This was an old-fashioned house. It was a house built with bricks and tiles. It had a history of fifty or sixty years. The floor of the house was just yellow soil, with no use of cement. If you spilled water on it, you are most likely to slip if you were not careful.


    There was a smell of wood and earth in the house. Old-fashioned houses like these were all one-story, with attic roofs, and firewood was generally used to keep it warm.


    "Xia Xia,e help me with the wine. Qinqin, go and y with your ssmate." The second grandpa waved at Gu Xia, and then said to Gu Qin.


    "Okay~ Second grandpa, I''ll take Jingjing to go shopping." Gu Qin replied sweetly.


    Gu Xia took two pots of wine with his second grandpa, picked a bag of vegetables from the vegetable field behind the house, put it in the trunk of the car, and then took two pots of oil and a bag of rice. In just a few moments the trunk was full of fresh produce.


    At noon, Gu Xia and the others finished their meal, and after some idle conversation, they came back to their house in the city.


    *****


    After arriving home, Gu Qin and Li Jingjing went shopping. Gu Xia was feeling quite bored alone, and the weather was cold, so he got into bed for a quick nap.


    Just when Gu Xia was getting sleepy and was about to fall asleep, his phone rang.


    "Hey~ Sisi! What''s wrong, did you miss me!" Gu Xiaughed.


    [Well~ I just got into the bed and touched the side, and found that you were not there. Now I can''t sleep anymore. It''s all your fault. When I first came to the United Stat*s, I was fine. But, now look at what you did!] Tu Sisi muttered.


    Gu Xia smiled bitterly, "How is that my fault?"


    [It''s your fault, it''s all your fault~] Tu Sisi said tenderly.


    Haha~ okay, it''s my fault, it''s my fault. Gu Xia smiled bitterly.


    Tu Sisi had be more cheerful than they were in love in their previous life, but he liked it very much in his heart.


    [What are you doing?] Tu Sisi asked


    "Nothing important. I was just bored, so I was going to take a nap. The weather is so cold, it seems that the weather forecast says it''s going to snow in two days. It''s really snowing quite a lot this year. Thest time it snowed this much, there was a disaster, and I don''t know if it will be like that in two days. Will it be as severe asst time?"


    [It''s going to snow again! I really want to see snow, if only I were in Jiangbei.] Tu Sisi said enviously.


    "Is it not snowing in the United Stat*s?" Gu Xia asked.


    [I checked the weather forecast, it won''t snow in New Yo*k, I really want to see snow!] Tu Sisi sighed.


    "Hehe~ In fact, it''s better if it doesnt snow. It''s just pretty to look at, and its deathly cold. Besides, before we were reborn, didn''t we have a snowstorm?" Gu Xiaforted her.


    [I don''t care about all that. I just want to see it snow. Maybe it will snow during the New Year''s Eve, and Ill feel homesick.] Tu Sisi said sentimentally.


    "Thats also true. Are you still not sleepy? It must be veryte at night over there. If you don''t sleep, you will wake upte again. Don''t you dislike staying upte? I used to y LOL after getting off work until midnight and you would fall asleep very early." Gu Xiaughed.


    [Hmph! It''s because you didn''t help take care of Chengcheng after getting off work, you only knew how to y games.] Tu Sisi coldly snorted.


    Gu Xia rubbed his nose with a wry smile. He used to y games as soon as he got home from work every day. During that time, because the work pressure was rtively high, the industry was sluggish, and he couldnt earn much money, so he would be really stressed every day. Aftering back home, the only way he could release that stress was through games.


    [Hmph~ You didn''t help me cook or take care of our child. I feel so angry when I think about how it was back then. I had to buy groceries, cook and wash clothes during the day, but when you came back at night, I still had to do everything.] Tu Sisi was feeling quite resentful.


    "I"


    Gu Xia was lost for words. What she said was true, and he didn''t know how to refute it. At that time, he was really annoyed and confused all the time, and the two often quarreled.


    [How about it? You have nothing to say? Hmph~] Tu Si said triumphantly.


    Hehe~ You are right, you are amazing!" Gu Xia said with a wry smile when he heard Tu Sisi acting smug like a child.


    [Hehe~]


    Tu Sisi burst intoughter.


    [Okay, I''m going to bed. After talking to you, Im feeling sleepy.] Tu Sisi said with a yawn.


    "Hmm~ good night."


    [Goodbye~]


    After Gu Xia hung up the phone, he smiled, and then retreated into the quilt to prepare for sleep.


    *****


    It was the second night in a sh, and Gu Xia was wearing cks, a coat and a wool sweater today. He put on a pair of fleece leather shoes on his feet, sprayed hairspray on his hair.


    "Really handsome!" Gu Xia looked at himself in the mirror and sighed in admiration.


    "Ah, my eyes burn! Gu Xia, can you stop being so narcissistic?" Gu Qin looked at Gu Xia andined.


    "Haha~" Gu Feng, Deng Ling and grandparents alsoughed.


    "Go away!" Gu Xia red at Gu Qin.


    "Xia Xia, Drive carefully on the road, alright?" Grandpa instructed.


    "Got it, grandpa!"


    "I''m leaving."


    Gu Xia said goodbye and drove out to Li Sicheng''s hometown.


    [Who do you think of when you''re alone]


    The car sounded music, and because it was connected to Bluetooth, Gu Xia pressed the answer button on the steering wheel.


    [Hey Gu Xia, haven''t you arrived yet?] Li Sicheng''s voice was heard.


    "On the road, why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Xia helplessly gave a reply.


    [It''s going to be dinner soon,e on, haven''t you been dying to eat the rice noodles and meat in my hometown? This time, my grandfather steamed the rice noodles and meat. It''s really authentic. Come quickly and drink.] Li Sicheng said.


    "Understood, I will arrive in about twenty minutes."


    [Alright.]


    *****


    When Gu Xia arrived in Li Sicheng''s vige, he could see the house brightly lit from a distance. Many light bulbs were also hung up outside the house, and the noise spread far and wide.


    There were two children standing in front of him and Gu Xia honked his horn.


    "Oh! Who is this? This car looks very high-end, its worth at least 100,000 yuan!"


    "It can''t be 100,000, it should be 50,000 or 60,000."


    The five or six people who were eating outside all looked at the unfamiliar car and talked about its price.


    Seeing that the children were pulled away by the adults, Gu Xia drove around from the back of the house to the front of Li Sicheng''s house to park the car.


    Li Sicheng also heard the sound of the car, so he guessed it was Gu Xia, and when he came out, it really was as he had guessed.


    Gu Xia got out of the car and saw Li Sicheng walking over with a smile, wearing a ck suit.


    "Yo~ Mr. Groom, this little pretty boy also knows how to smile like a flower." Gu Xia joked.


    "Fu*k you, go inside and get a drink." Li Sicheng smiled.


    When Gu Xia walked into the house, he saw Li Sicheng''s parents. He had met them several times before, but today they were all dressed formally, and they were toasting with a smile on their faces.


    "Gu Xia is here!" Li Sicheng''s father shouted.


    "Hello, uncle and aunt!" Gu Xia greeted them.


    "Sicheng, arrange Gu Xia to sit."


    "Gu Xia, order whatever you want, eat whatever you want." said Li Sicheng''s mother.


    "Okay~" Gu Xia responded.


    "Go to that table, my cousins and sisters are also there. We young people have a table for ourselves." Li Sicheng pointed to the table not far away.


    Gu Xia looked over and saw a table of young people who were shouting and drinking wine.

 Chapter 66: Picking up the bride

    Chapter 66: Picking up the bride


    Gu Xia followed Li Sicheng to the table where his cousin''s were at.


    "Gu Xia sit here." Li Sicheng moved a stool and ced it by the table.


    "Sicheng, is this your friend?" One of Li Sicheng''s cousins asked.


    "Yes, my buddy Gu Xia." Li Sicheng smiled.


    Then Li Sicheng introduced his cousins to Gu Xia one by one.


    "Hello!"


    "Lets drink!"


    *****


    There was drinking, shouting and chatting everywhere inside and outside the house.


    After eating, Gu Xia looked at Li Sicheng''s new house, which was beautifully furnished, with a lot of ribbons and balloons hanging everywhere.


    Many people are ying cards and mahjong. Gu Xia was not very interested in these kinds of things, and he didn''t know anyone there, so he didn''t y.


    He went to the room arranged by Li Sicheng early to sleep. He heard Li Sicheng say that about seven or eight people would have to sleep in a room and its floor. Gu Xia couldn''t do anything about that. He washed himself and went to bed first. The quilt was new, plus ayer of rice stalks was ced underneath. The smell of rice stalks poured into the tip of his nose, which was very pleasant.


    Next morning, he would have to go to pick up the bride at seven o''clock, and he had to get up at six o''clock for breakfast, so Gu Xia didn''t y with his mobile phone, and fell asleep shortly after.


    The night was silent and uneventful.


    Early the next morning, before dawn, Gu Xia was woken up by many loud voices outside, so he had no choice but to get up.


    Gu Xia got dressed, looked at the three people who were still asleep on the bed and the four people who wereying on the floor, and pouted, <em>The bed was so crowded, why didn''t I feel anything when I sleptst night? And there are people sleeping on the floor, how can I get out?</em>


    Feeling helpless, Gu Xia could only jump over cautiously, for fear of identally stepping on someone.


    After going out, Hu Xia took a deep breath, it was really not easy! It''s like some kind of sport.


    This was how things usually were with many rtives like this. He remembered when he was a child, when his family hadnt yet moved to the city, whenever his rtives came to pay their respects during the New Year, they would sleep at home if they had a little too much to drink, especially Gu Xias uncles.


    Gu Xia Grandpa had 7 Children, 5 sons and 2 daughters. So, Gu Xia had 5 uncles. During the Chine*e New Year, his uncles and aunts brought their children to Gu Xia''s house for New Year''s dinner. They had only two tables that would be full, so they had to sit on floors. The house would be crowded, but everyone would have fun. Everyone yed cards and mahjong at night, while Gu Xia and his cousins went to y with firecrackers and fireworks. Things were really fun at that time. Gu Xia couldn''t helpughing when he thought about it, childhood memories were always beautiful.


    "Gu Xia, you woke up?" Li Sicheng''s mother asked with a smile.


    "Oh, aunt is cooking noodles!" Gu Xia eximed, and looked at the cauldron full of noodles. An aunt who was about the same age as Li Sicheng''s mother was in charge of the fire.


    "Haha~ Go wash your face and brush your teeth. The new toothbrushes and towels are in the hall. After washing up, it''s time to eat the noodles. We''ll go pick up the brideter." Li Sicheng''s mother smiled.


    "Alright, that''s good." Gu Xia nodded, and when he walked to the hall, he saw more than a dozen people standing outside the gate. The lights were still lit outside, and they were all squatting there brushing their teeth. Li Sicheng was also brushing his teeth with the same posture.


    <em>This scene is, um~ very unique</em>


    Gu Xia took a new toothbrush from the table, took a bowl and filled it with well water, and also joined the ranks of the people brushing their teeth.


    The well water in winter was smoky, slightly sweet and felt warm in the mouth.


    Gu Xia looked at Li Sicheng opposite of him with his mouth full of toothpaste, and saw himself squatting down and winking at him, which made Gu Xia smile.


    "The noodles are ready, you brush your teeth, wash your face ande to eat noodles." Li Sicheng''s mother shouted from the door.


    Everyone increased the speed of brushing their teeth and nodded in response.


    After brushing their teeth, they lined up to wash their faces with the water well in the house. Gu Xia was pulled by Li Sicheng to his house. In front of his house, apart from the yard, there was a field, and he followed him to an open-air well beside the field.


    "We will wash here, this is the well in the vige for washing clothes."


    Gu Xia looked at the smoking well. The well was very simple, and it was built withrge stones. The well had arge mouth and should have a diameter of two meters. There were two stone bs on the top of the well, and two stone bs were tied to the well. There were also buckets with ropes tied on to them.


    Li Sicheng stood on the two stone bs above the well, picked up the bucket and threw it into the well, and then swung the rope in his hand, and the bucket immediately sank into the water. When the bucket was full, he pulled it up.


    "Come on, wash! This water is hot." Li Sichengughed.


    "I know, I also lived in the country when I was a child." Gu Xia smiled.


    The two washed their faces with water, then wiped them off with towels and went back to the house.


    The table was filled with bowls of noodles with fried eggs on them.


    Gu Xia picked up a bowl and sat on the stool to eat. The noodles cooked in a big pot were fragrant, and the eggs were also from the country, they were golden in color, and had a strong egg-like fragrance.


    After eating the noodles, Gu Xia picked up flowers and balloons and went to his car. Others also tied balloons in front of their car and posted happy wedding papers in front of the car.


    Gu Xia pasted a bunch of heart-shaped flowers on the hood of the car. There were suction cups under the flowers, and there was dew on the car, so they were firmly stuck.


    Then it was time to tie the balloon, he just tied it directly on the rearview mirror. The roof of the front and rear of the car were also decorated using suction cups.


    In the end, Gu Xia pasted the "We are married" paper on the front and rear license tes. At present, the traffic police didnt care that much about the license te.


    A man started to blow the suona, and two teenagers began to hit the gongs. (G: Suona, also called dida,ba or haidi, is a traditional Chine*e music instrument with double-reed horn.)


    "Everyone get in the car ording to what we decidedst night." Li Sicheng''s father shouted.


    "Let''s go!"


    "Go pick up the bride!"


    "Yeah!!!"


    Many young people got into the car with loudughter.


    Because Gu Xia''s car was the wedding car, only the bride and groom were allowed to get on it. Last night, he heard Li Sicheng say that their best man and bridesmaids also rode the wedding car, and the customs of each vige were different.


    The best man was Gu Xia, the driver was also Gu Xia, so he had two jobs.


    After everyone got into the car, Li Sicheng said, "Let''s go! Gu Xia, you have to drive at the front."


    "I know, I''m very familiar with this." Gu Xia smiled. How could he not be familiar? He was a married man, and was very clear about the process.


    "You know sh*t, this is the first time you have been the best man. You sound like you are married. I had to listen to my dad about the process." Li Sicheng scolded him with a smile.


    Gu Xia nced at him in the rear-view mirror. <em>Brother, you don''t believe the truth. What I said was all real.</em>

 Chapter 67: Welcome

    Chapter 67: Wee


    Along the way, Gu Xia drove the wedding car and stayed in front, and from time to time, a car carrying a photographer would overtake the car.


    "You have quite thefortable car. When I pay off the mortgage in a few years, I will buy a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW. The mortgage payment is exhausting." Li Sicheng sighed.


    "Yeah! If you buy a house, you practically became a ve, and youd have to toil for ten or twenty years." Gu Xia also sighed with emotion.


    In his previous life, he had been a ve to his house for several years, and he had to repay the money every month. It was quite a painful experience.


    "You don''t have to experience the pain of paying the mortgage, sigh!" Li Sicheng scolded with a smile.


    Gu Xia smiled without saying a word, some things could not be said clearly.


    When they drove all the way to the Xinjian District, it was already 9 o''clock, and there were more cars on the road. Gu Xia followed Li Sicheng''s directions and drove all the way to Wang Qian''s house.


    "Turn right ahead to the Xiangrui Community of Qianqian''s family." Li Sicheng said, pointing to the traffic light intersection ahead.


    Gu Xia turned right at the traffic light and drove into a small road. Right at the front was a stone arch with the words "Xiangrui Community" written on it.


    Gu Xia knew that thismunity was a newly builtmunity. The facilities inside were generally quite new, and the buildings all around had 20th floor. At present, this newly built area was rtively famous. After all, there were no such high-rise buildings in the new residentialmunities at this time. Themunity that had buildings with 20th floors were quite popr.


    "Qianqian''s house is in Unit 1 of Building 2. You can park your car downstairs." Li Sicheng pointed to a building not far away.


    Gu Xia drove near the building, followed by a grand entourage of eleven cars. The sound of suona, gongs and drums started again when they knew that they were approaching the bride''s house.


    Gu Xia parked the car and followed a group of people up the stairs. Because Wang Qian''s house was on the 3rd floor, it would take a long time for so many people to wait for the elevator, so it was better to take the stairs.


    As soon as they walked to the door, he heard someone shouting from inside, "The people are here to pick up the bride!"


    "The groom is here!"


    Gu Xia smiled and looked at Li Sicheng, who was talking to his father-inw after finishing a cigarette with a nervous look on his face.


    Wang Qian''s father was still very young. He was in his forties, looked very energetic, and he talked to Li Sicheng with a smile. He was obviously very satisfied with Li Sicheng as a son-inw.


    The door of the room opened with a thin crack, and it was obvious that someone in the bride''s room was secretly looking outside, wanting to see what the groom looked like.


    Gu Xia stood in the corner, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and threw them in his mouth, smiling at the noisy people.


    This scene was the same as when he got married to Tu Sisi in his previous life.


    It was unknown who shouted, "Pick up the bride!"


    Li Sicheng took the lead and rushed into the room, and Gu Xia also followed.


    The people in the room knew that it was time, and immediately closed the door tightly.


    No matter how many times Li Sicheng pushed it, he couldn''t push it open. Just when someone proposed to knock on the door, Gu Xia spoke a few words in Li Sicheng''s ear, prompting him to slide the red envelopes in.


    Li Sicheng suddenly realized that someone told him about it beforeing here, and he hadpletely forgotten about it. So he hurriedly took out a dozen more red envelopes from his pocket and stuffed them through the cracks under the door.


    Suddenly a woman''sughter was heard.


    "It''s not enough~ We want more red envelopes!" Someone shouted from inside.


    Li Sicheng stuffed a few more red envelopes in before they opened the door.


    Gu Xia looked into the room and saw that there were about twenty women standing inside, all of them were young women, they were probably Wang Qian''s cousins and best friends!


    Wang Qian was sitting on the bed wearing a wedding dress and a gauze, her hands intertwined before her, obviously knowing that the door was open, and everyone was looking at her, she was a little nervous.


    Standing beside Wang Qian was a girl with a hot figure who was also wearing a wedding dress. She was obviously the bridesmaid. She was wearing a tube top style wedding dress, and the deep ravine on her chest immediately attracted the attention of all the men who were present. The bridesmaid, Ouyang Dan, also blushed at everyone''s stares.


    She couldn''t help quietly giving Wang Qian a pinch, secretly ming her for helping her choose such a wedding dress.


    Gu Xia thought that this bridesmaid looked quite familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered that she was Tu Sis and Wang Qian''s ssmate. He had seen her once or twice in his previous life, so he recalled her name as Ouyang Dan!


    "The rtives of the groom will carry the dowry!"


    An older woman shouted from inside.


    Then Li Sicheng''s cousins all went to move the things such as quilts, household appliances and other daily necessities ced in the corner.


    Gu Xia also helped move a TV to the van downstairs.


    Then Gu Xia went upstairs and saw that Li Sicheng was struggling to pick up Wang Qian from the bed, and Ouyang Dan followed behind to help hold Wang Qian''s wedding dress.


    Gu Xia smiled and looked at Li Sicheng, who was struggling. This Wang Qian weighed about 100 pounds (about 45 kg). After all, she was quite tall, and it was normal for him to have difficulty lifting her up. Li Sicheng was still young. If his body was given time to mature for a few years, he wouldve had no problem carrying her.


    When Gu Xia carried Tu Sisi, she was still pregnant, and he was quite okay while getting down from her house. After all, he used an elevator. However, when it was time to walk to his house, Gu Xia had to carry her up with gritted teeth. After going up, his legs almost gave out.


    Gu Xia walked in front to help Li Sicheng open the door. Li Sicheng hugged Wang Qian and put her in the car, only then did he feel relieved and got into the car himself.


    Gu Xia also sat in the driver''s seat, while the bridesmaid Ouyang Dan sat in the front seat.


    There were constant sounds of firecrackers outside, and the smoke of the firecrackers filled the air. Gu Xia hurriedly closed the window, otherwise all the ashes of the firecrackers would float in, and he just had his car washed the day before.


    Just when Gu Xia was about to start the car and leave, Ouyang Dan said, "Where''s the best man? Qianqian, didn''t you say that the wedding car also belonged to the best man?"


    "Haha~" Li Sichengughed when he heard her.


    Gu Xia rubbed his nose with a wry smile, did he not look like apelling best man?


    It''s no wonder Ouyang Dan was confused, usually only the owner or the driver drive the car, and the best man almost never drives.


    "Hehe, why look so far, he is right beside you." Wang Qian, covered her face and smiled.


    If Ouyang Dan didn''t know who the best man was even after Wang Qian said that, she would be stupid.


    "You are you the best man?" Ouyang Dan pointed at Gu Xia and asked.


    Gu Xia smiled and nodded to her, then concentrated on driving.


    "But how can the best man also be the driver!" Ouyang Dan asked in surprise, apparently she never saw the best man drive the wedding car.


    "Who said that the best man can''t drive?" Gu Xia asked and thought, <em>There are so many things you haven''t seen.</em>


    "That''s right, it''s just that its the first time I''ve seen it." Ouyang Dan said with a smile.


    Gu Xia drove the car with peace of mind. Wang Qian and Ouyang Dan were talking, and Li Sicheng interjected from time to time.


    He had to drive quite slow on the way back. After all, there were more cars with them this time, and there were more pedestrians, vehicles and motorcycles on the road, so Gu Xia had to slow down.

 Chapter 68: During the marriage

    Chapter 68: During the marriage


    When they arrived at Li Sicheng''s house, it was already 11 o''clock.


    Li Sicheng got out of the car with Wang Qian in his arms, and suddenly someone sprayed ribbons and fired firecrackers.


    Gu Xia got off the car and ran to the side. The sound of the firecrackers was really too loud and they were flying all over the sky.


    The sound of suonas, firecrackers, and peoples roars kept pouring into his ears. Although it was very loud, it was also very lively.


    Gu Xia followed the crowd to the door of the new house. It was filled with people. Gu Xia didnt go to join in the fun, and went outside to light a cigarette.


    After lighting the cigarette, Gu Xia looked at the zippo lighter in his hand. The names "Gu Xia and Tu Sisi" were engraved on the lighter. This was given to Gu Xia by Tu Sisi when he was in the United Stat*s. Gu Xia gave her a bracelet as a gift, so she also gave him a lighter, so that Gu Xia could look at the lighter when he missed her. The words on the lighter were written by Tu Sisi and then she had them engraved by professionals.


    ~Who do you think of when you''re alone~


    Gu Xia took out his phone and couldn''t help but smile, it was a call from Tu Sisi. Their hearts were truly connected!


    Gu Xia walked to a quieter ce to pick up the call, "Hey~ Sisi!"


    [Are you in Sicheng''s hometown?] Tu Sisi asked.


    "Yes, I came here yesterday. I just finished picking up the bride. They are making a fuss in the new house." Gu Xia smiled.


    [Ah! it''s a pity that I couldn''t go. It would be great if I could go. My best best friend got married, but I wasnt there. It''s a pity.] Tu Sisi sighed.


    It''s okay, you were unable to attend due to a special situation, and it''s not like you won''te back. When youe back, just invite Wang Qian and Sicheng to have a meal. They won''t me you." Gu Xiaforted her.


    [That''s the only way. Originally, I wanted to call Qianqian to give my blessings, but thinking about her marriage and wearing a wedding dress, I stopped. I will call her at night.] Tu Sisi said.


    "Hehe, wait for the night when they are in the bridal chamber, when you call, Sicheng will me you!" Gu Xiaughed.


    [That''s right, then we''ll fight again tomorrow.] Tu Sisi nodded and agreed.


    "Alright, why are you still not asleep?" Gu Xia looked at the time and asked.


    [As soon as I woke up, I thought of Qianqian getting married, so I called you.] Tu Sisi saidzily.


    "Go to sleep! It''s veryte over there. Staying upte is not good for your health."


    [I can''t seem to feel sleepy now, you should sing me a song!" Tu Sisi said tenderly.


    "YouOkay! What song do you want to listen to." Gu Xia said helplessly.


    [You know~]


    Gu Xia touched his nose, this woman really liked to listen to that one song all the time, and she didn''t ever get tired of it.


    "Your heart is always"


    It was that old songWho do you think of when you''re alone?


    Gu Xia could sing theplete song whenever she wanted to listen. Tu Sisi set it up as her own ringtone, and so that she could hear it frequently. He remembered when he was in the United Sta*es, whenever their phones rang, both of them would look at their phones at the same time.


    After singing the song one time, Tu Sisi didn''t fall asleep, so Gu Xia had to keep singing, or she said she wouldn''t be able to fall asleep.


    Feeling helpless, Gu Xia could only sing over and over again. He didn''t know if it was the seventh or eighth time, when Tu Sisi finally fell asleep, and Gu Xia could finally rest his dry mouth.


    Gu Xia walked into the room and took a bottle of drink and drank it, which made his mouth feel a lot morefortable.


    There was still a lot of noise in the room, and everyone was desperately crowding into the room, trying to see what the bride looked like.


    There were tables set up both inside and outside Li Sicheng''s house. Gu Xia roughly estimated that there were nearly 30 tables, which was really a terrifying number! It was proof that there were just that many rtives and friends in Li Sicheng''s family.


    Gu Xia grabbed the melon seeds and watched the tables being served one by one. Each table had nearly 20 dishes, including fish, pig feet, spare ribs and more.


    These dishes were all natural, grown in the countryside. They were not like the ones grown in greenhouses, and the dishes were fried in arge pot, which was full of fragrance.


    Soon, everyone started toe out of the new house as Li Sicheng''s father was calling everyone to dinner.


    Gu Xia didn''t go to sit at the table. He was the best man, so he had to follow Li Sichengter to help him with all the congrattory wine.


    Gu Xia walked into the new room and saw Li Sicheng was pouring Spr*ite into the liquor bottle. If he didn''t do this, he would definitely get drunkter. If it was summer, he could drink beer. Unfortunately, drinking beer in winter was not an option.


    When Gu Xia got married, it was autumn, and it was not too cold. So he opted to drink beer, but even after that, he almost got drunk. After all, he had to toast so many people, and he had to apany rtives, and friends to drink after toasting.


    Li Sicheng nced at Gu Xia and saw him smilingly looking at him. Thinking this guy was going to mock him, he hurriedly exined, "I''m not cheating. My dad said that there are dozens of tables, and the two of us wouldnt be able to finish our toast, so it would be better to drink Spr*ite.


    Wang Qian and Ouyang Dan, who had put on their toasting clothes, both pursed their lips andughed.


    After Li Sicheng packed the wine, he tidied up his suit, and then walked out hand in hand with Wang Qian. The best man Gu Xia and the bridesmaid Ouyang Dan walked behind them.


    "The bride and groom are here to make a toast!" someone loudly shouted.


    After toasting, Gu Xia and Ouyang Dan found a table to eat, while Li Sicheng wandered around toasting to the other guests.


    "I heard that youre Sisi''s boyfriend?"


    Gu Xia, who was eating rice noodles and meat, nodded when he heard Ouyang Dan speak to him.


    "How is Sisi?" Ouyang Dan asked.


    Gu Xia swallowed the meat in his mouth and said, "Shes quite well."


    "Oh~ that''s good." Ouyang Dan nodded, and seeing that Gu Xia was more interested in eating, she didn''t continue the conversation.


    Although Ouyang Dan next to him was very beautiful and had a good figure, Gu Xia felt that she wasnt more attractive than the rice noodles and meat in front of him, and also, he was a married man. Although he had not married in this life yet, Gu Xia thought so in his heart. It was as they say, the rabbit doesn''t eat the grass on the edge of the nest. Ouyang Dan was the best friend of both Tu Sisi and Wang Qian, so he couldn''t do anything inappropriate!


    Besides, he didn''t really feel attracted to her at all.


    The authentic rice noodles and meat were really delicious. Gu Xia drank a few sips of wine, ate rice noodles and meat, and asionally touched other dishes.

 Chapter 69: Survival of the fittest

    Chapter 69: Survival of the fittest


    After Gu Xia finished eating, he got a rocking chair to bask in the sun in front of Li Sicheng''s house. He found it veryfortable to bask in the sun right after eating.


    Originally, Gu Xia wanted to go home, but Li Sicheng asked him to stay for dinner, saying that he didn''t get to drink that much with him at noon, so they could have a bout of proper drinking again at night. They also had to go to the Xinjian District at night, so they could go there together on his car. There were not many people left who could help, so Gu Xia had no choice but to stay.


    Gu Xia spent the afternoon sleeping in the sun. He was woken up by Ouyang Dan for an evening snack. Ouyang Dan also hadnt gone back, and she didn''t have a car to go to Xinjian District, so she also stayed and would go back together with them in the evening.


    Gu Xia rubbed his eyes and lit a Chin*se brand cigar*tte. This cigar*tte was forcibly stuffed in his hand by Li Sicheng and he was given two packs. Gu Xia didn''t usually smoke this brand of cigar*tte. It wasnt that he couldn''t afford it, but the cigar*tte was too light in vor.


    Compared to this brand, Gu Xia preferred the local Jinsh*ng brand of cigar*ttes, especially the top-quality Jinsh*ng. It wasnt that expensive at 24 yuan a pack. The main reason he liked it was that its vor was good. It was neither strong nor weak. In addition, many local cigar*ttes had fake toba*co, and while Jinsh*ng as a local cigarette wasnt expensive, it had no fake toba*co.


    In the past, Gu Xia had smoked the fake cigar*ttes from Liq*n and Fur*ngwang. At that time, he was so angry that he could not smoke for a long time. It was like a cigar, and there was no smoke at all. Since then, Gu Xia had stopped buying other cigar*ttes.


    The sky had already gotten a little dark. It usually started to get dark at 5 o''clock in winter, and every household started to light up their lights.


    "Gu Xia,e and eat!"


    "Coming!"


    When Li Sicheng''s voice came from the room, Gu Xia responded and stepped on the cigar*tte.


    The dinner was also very rich. Gu Xia didn''t drink a lot of alcohol. After all, he had to drive hometer. He only drank a ss or two and didn''t drink more. Li Sicheng also knew that he would be driving and did not force Gu Xia to drink.


    After eating, Gu Xia received a bag of rice noodles and meat from Li Sicheng''s mother, put the meat in the trunk, and then asked Li Sicheng, "Sicheng, does anyone want me to take them to the Xinjian District?"


    "No one else, just take Ouyang Dan. Qianqian, my parents and my cousin will go in my car. So, Ouyang Dan can only take your car." Li Sicheng said.


    "Okay, I''ll take her back." Gu Xia nodded.


    Gu Xia sat in the hall for a while, and waited until Li Sicheng had stuffed everything into the car before asking Ouyang Dan to get in the car.


    "Let''s go."


    "Gu Xia, let''s go first." Li Sicheng shouted while driving.


    Gu Xia saw that Ouyang Dan got in the car, and also drove away with Li Sicheng.


    The heater was on in the car, and it was blowing warm air. Gu Xia also turned on the massage function that came with the seat to massage his back.


    "The perfume on your car is quite fragrant. It smells like a lily. It smells quite good." Ouyang Dan said after taking a deep breath.


    "Hehe~"


    Gu Xia smiled. When he was buying the car perfume, he was thinking of Tu Sisi who liked lilies. So he bought this scent because of a person who wasnt even there.


    Anyway, Gu Xia didn''t have too many requirements for buying a fragrance. He would be alright as long as it wasnt something particrly strong. Moreover, the fragrance of lily is also very good. After all, this is Sisi''s favorite fragrance!


    Then, both of them became silent.


    Gu Xia didn''t take the initiative to say a word to Ouyang Dan. Which surprised Ouyang Dan quite a bit. She was also a famous beauty in their school, on par with Tu Sisi and Wang Qian, and her figure was better than them both. Unexpectedly Tu Sisi''s boyfriend didn''t even look at her or even talk to her. For the first time in a while, Ouyang Dan wondered if she was unattractive.


    That was how some women were. When someone looked at them and started a conversation with the, they would say that the person was obsessed with them. However, if someone didn''t look at them, they would say that the person didn''t understand the style and wonders if they are not attractive. Of course, that didnt apply to every one, the premise was that the man was either handsome or rich.


    "Just drop me off to the station on Xingguo Road. My house is right next to it." Ouyang Dan said.


    "Okay." Gu Xia nodded in response.


    [Who do you think of when you''re alone]


    Gu Xia''s cell phone started ringing, and it was a call from Xu Fan.


    "Hey! Brother Xu, why are you calling sote?" Gu Xia asked with a smile.


    "Where are you? There''s something wrong with thepany, can youe here?" Xu Fan''s tone seemed very serious. It was the first time Gu Xia heard him speak in such a tone.


    "What happened?" Gu Xia quickly asked.


    "Let''s talk when youre herehaahh" Xu Fan sighed.


    "Okay, I''ll drive to the capitalter." Gu Xia replied.


    After hanging up, Gu Xia frowned and thought for a while. He didnt understand what had happened, <em>Did thepany encounter some kind of crisis? Forget it, let''s wait and see!</em>


    "You opened apany?" asked Ouyang Dan on the side.


    "Hmm."


    "I heard Qianqian say that you''re studying in the university? You also started a business? That''s right, you wouldn''t have the money to buy a Mercedes-Benz otherwise. I didn''t expect you to be so capable." Ouyang Dan said as her eyes glowed.


    She took a careful look at Gu Xia. He was quite handsome, he started his own business as a boss when he was in the university, and drove a Mercedes-Benz. Ouyang Dan was a little moved, but when she thought that this man was her best friend''s boyfriend, Ouyang Dan gave up on the idea. If youre beautiful and have good capital, why bother to rob your best friend''s boyfriend? Why couldn''t she find a good man with her own capital?


    After Gu Xia sent Ouyang Dan home, he greeted his family when he got home, and drove to the capital.


    It was already 11 o''clock in the middle of the night when he arrived at the capital. Gu Xia parked the car and took the elevator to thepany. Thepany was still brightly lit. When Gu Xia walked in, he saw that in addition to Xu Fan, several department managers were also there.


    "Gu Xia is here,e quickly." Xu Fan waved his hand when he saw Gu Xia walking in.


    "What happened?" Gu Xia asked.


    "There have been several take-out tforms in the market recently. I''ve checked the backgrounds of thesepanies, and there are some big guys behind them. They are already grabbing our market share! Haaahhhits all my fault. I originally wanted to develop the market steadily, but who would have known that these people would be moving so fast! I wouldve quickly spread the market first if I knew it earlier. Xu Fan rubbed his temples, his expression looked exhausted, and it was clear that he had been troubled by this for a long time.


    Gu Xia smiled. This was something normal. When the food delivery service first came out in his past life, something like this happened as well. At that time, there were many well-known food delivery tforms such as Tu*n, Ba*du, and D*da. He didn''t even remember how many more of them there were. In the end, it was inevitable that theirpany would not be the only one.


    It was just like the process raising Gu Poison shown on TV serials. The martial artists would put many poisonous insects to fight in a small space, and thest one left would be a Gu.


    There would never be a shortage ofpetition when it came to doing business. After all, there were more than one billion people in Ch*na. Wasnt there emerce online shopping tforms such a JD chasing after Alibaba all the time? There was bound to bepetition in any industry, so it was up to the person to do the things necessary to survive..


    "Brother Xu, you don''t need to worry about this at all. Just think about the real estate industry, how many real estatepanies are there? I can''t even count them all. But everyone earns money in their own way, and those who are not strong are eliminated. Its thew of survival of the fittest. It is applicable in all areas of our lives.


    What we need to do is to optimize our tform, our merchants, our services. Takeaway tforms are destined to experience this baptism. Whoever survives to the end is the real winner. We already have an advantage over them in that we were the first to do it, and many cities are already using our takeaway. And, after thest news broadcast about our service, I believe most people in the country know about our food delivery service. Since the newswork broadcasted our food delivery tform, it has also given us credibility. So we dont need to be afraid of others, on the contrary, theirpetitive pressure will make us do better, and make us find the shorings that we couldnt find before. After Gu Xia finished giving a long speech, he pursed his thirsty lips.


    p! p! p!


    With Xu Fan taking the lead, the other managers also began to apud together.

 Chapter 70: Discussion

    Chapter 70: Discussion


    "Then what should we do specifically? Gu Xia, do you have any good suggestions? After all, you also made this project." Xu Fan asked.


    The managers of other departments also looked at Gu Xia. Everyone knew that the food delivery and taxi-hailing software that had not yet been released were created by this mysterious boss who rarely came to thepany. It was rumored that he was still studying, which made all the managers feel a little ashamed. They all had graduated from prestigious universities and had only now been promoted to the position of department manager. But their boss, who was still studying, came up with two such profitable projects on his own. It is really astonishing!


    "I''ve been thinking a lot at home during this period. Haven''t we been regting the safety and hygiene of our services? Have any usersined about the food quality recently?" Gu Xia asked.


    "Not yet." Operations Manager Li Ke replied.


    Gu Xia nodded and continued, "Since they want to enter the food delivery industry, they must have studied us, so their content must be the same as ours. What we should do is to see if there is anything we can learn from their tform, and make our service better."


    "Thank you."


    Gu Xia took the coffee Li Ke had poured for him, took a sip and continued, "I just mentioned that our tform needs to be optimized. Then which are the areas that require the optimization? You managers should figure it out"


    "I think we still need to work hard on the service of merchants and riders." Li Ke, director of operations, suggested.


    "I don''t have any suggestions, I''m only responsible for optimizing the tform." Xiong Xiong spread his hands andmented. As a technical talent, he didn''t understand these business matters at all.


    "."


    The four department managers all expressed their opinions one by one. Gu Xia nodded, they all got to the point. Gu Xia then turned to Xu Fan with a smile and said, "Brother Xu, do you have any good suggestions?"


    "I also think that service is the most important thing, but food safety is also very important. I have been thinking about this recently. Ie from a real estate background, so I really don''t have a clue about these things." Xu Fan took a sip of coffee, shook his head.


    "Hehe" Gu Xia smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you just need to control the overall situation. Ourpany has so many talents, so anything can be solved."


    After finishing speaking, Gu Xia continued, "What you all said is quite good. Let me summarize it. You should remember it well. It will be implemented from tomorrow. First of all, the rider must be strictly regted. From now on, every rider must go through a week of training. What is the training? It will mainly train their service attitude and time concept. When users order food, what they see is the rider. Therefore, the riders of ourpany must give people a good service attitude, including the concept of punctual delivery. Li Ke, you can contact the clothing factory and ask them to customize the clothes worn by our riders, both in winter and summer. The clothes themselves dont need to be too eye catching. Only he logo with the words Are You Hungry? must be eye-catching. After the design is finished, send it to me and Brother Xu to take a look, understand?"


    "Yes1" Li Ke responded.


    "Wang Wei, your advertising department needs to increase its advertising investment. We must make people across the country quickly understand and use our APP." Gu Xia said to the advertising department manager. After speaking, he turned his head and asked Xu Fan, "Brother Xu, does thepany still has enough funds!"


    "Don''t worry! It''s absolutely sufficient. Wang Wei, you go prepare all the reports. After Mr. Gu and I read them, you''ll spend all your money on advertising, alright?" Xu Fan had been very anxious because of what happened in the past two days, so he was also in favor of this decision.


    "By the way, Brother Xu, don''t you know the bosses of Ten*ent and Al*baba? You can make an appointment to have a meeting with them and add our takeaway to their software. We should try to coborate with Q*Q or Al*pay. If we can get both thatll be the best. If it doesnt work, we can add one. Their traffic is terrifying, and they can give us a huge boost, so you should talk to them about it. Gu Xia suddenly thought of something, and said to Xu Fan.


    Didnt El*.me and Me*tuan be industry giants relying on the traffic of Al*pay and W*Chat in his previous life?


    "Okay~ I''ll make an appointment tomorrow to see if they''re free." Xu Fan nodded and said.


    "Xiong Xiong, you can add a scoring system to the background, not only for merchants, but also for riders, so that users can score directly if they are dissatisfied after eating. That way, we can also know which merchants and riders do well, and those who do not do well, alright?" Gu Xia said to Xiong Xiong, the manager of the R&D department.


    "Okay! I promise toplete the task." Xiong Xiong replied loudly.


    Next, Gu Xia gave a few more details about what needed to be paid attention to, and went to his office with Xu Fan. Everyone else went back to their homes, after all, it was already early morning.


    "Gu Xia~ You have such talent, why don''t you just stop studying, and take care of thispany! I''d better go into real estate and leave this one to you. Doing this thing makes my head dizzy." Xu Fan told Gu Xia as he poured himself a cup of tea andughed.


    "Brother Xu might be saying that, but aren''t you managing thepany very well? I''m just helping out with small things. I wouldn''t be able to do it if I had to manage thepany! You are the big boss! You have been running thepany and have a talent for managing people. You are better at this than me. It would be better if I still continue studying honestly ande to help when you need me. Also, wouldnt it be the same when I graduate from university and thene to thepany? Gu Xia shook his head.


    "You how about I find a house for you so that you can move to the capital? That way you cane to thepany more often, right? Didn''t you see that guy Xiong Xiong yelling for you to guide their work every day? And the other managers are also very convinced. If you moved here, you coulde to thepany to have a look when you have nothing to do. Xu Fan said helplessly, then looked at Gu Xia.


    Gu Xia frowned and began to seriously consider. Looking at that, Xu Fan didnt push him anymore, and waited as he slowly sipped his tea.


    Gu Xia carefully thought about the matter. In fact, the idea was not bad. It would be a good choice for him toe to Shan*hai to study. After all, Shan*hai was much more developed than Jian*bei. If he transferred here, he could not only take care of thepany, but also increase his own experience in management and operation. He could also increase his knowledge about the industry.


    Gu Xia had always stayed in Jian*bei in his previous life, where he studied, went to work. He lived there even after getting married. It was time to change his life.


    His parents were still young, and the traffic would be developing more and more in the future. He also had a car, so he could go back to see them at any time.


    "Alright, Brother Xu, please help me arrange it! I''lle here to study after the Ch*nese New Year." Gu Xia said to Xu Fan.


    "Good, you are making the right decision. You can meet more useful people in Shan*hai. Shan*hai and Be*jing are the ces with the most talented people in the country. Things can''t go wrong here." Xu Fanughed.


    "Hehe!"


    "By the way, how is my grandfather doing?" Xu Fan asked.


    "I haven''t seen grandpa since the holiday, but I went to see him on the day of the holiday. He is in good health. You guys should go visit him more if you have time. He is old and lonely, so he certainly hopes that his children and grandchildren go to see him more." Gu Xia said.


    Xu Fan nodded and said, "Yes! I will go to Jian*bei to visit the old man in two days."


    Gu Xia talked with Xu Fan for a while, and went to the hotel with the hotel key card that Xu Fan had booked for him in advance.
