Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 142 Soft Persimmon

Xia An didn't want to go home, nor did she want to see her parents or Zuo You's parents for the time being.

The topic of conversation on the way back would have to be Zuo You. It wasn't that Xia An didn't want to talk about Zuo You, but he just didn't want to talk about Zuo You in the next two days.

This feeling is very strange and contradictory, like the soul is being torn apart.

On one side, Tang Wan pulled him into 2006, and on the other side was 2024.

This is not the first time Xia An has felt this way.

When getting along with Tang Wan, especially during the two days when they officially had a relationship, Xia An felt like being pressed down on the table, nailed to the table. Binhai University, home, Zuo You, Le Ning, and Lin Jiajia, everything seemed like an illusion, like a distant memory, like a fake.

The real me should be with Tang Wan, working, cooking, sleeping every day, and living a rich and ordinary life.

It seemed as if he had not been reborn, and was still living in 2006, in that villa.

This real sense of reality made Xia An completely immersed in it for the past two days. His speaking, doing things, and even having sex with Tang Wan were completely back to the habits of his almost forty-year-old self before his rebirth.

The most direct manifestation was that he never looked at Su Yi and Zhou Zhou straight in the eye.

If he had been in the playful mood since his rebirth, with two beauties under the same roof, which was a rare opportunity, he would have taken a sneak peek at them, but he didn't. He wanted to look at two colorless mannequins.

This kind of coldness was his habit in his previous life.

For example, the song I’m recording now, the pitch is very accurate and it sounds good, but it just doesn’t sound cheerful.

Guo Chuan reminded him three times, saying that if he really had something on his mind, he could make another appointment to record.

"It's a pretty happy song, why is it sung in such a bitter and vengeful way?"

Xia An could feel Tang Wan's happiness. She was so warm that she seemed to be burning. This temperature pulled him towards 2006, as if to burn away all his memories of the past.

Xia An knew that he was finally... ashamed.

After taking a sip of the room temperature rock sugar black tea brought by Guo Chuan, Xia An was lost in thought.

When a man cheats, a woman will ask: Do you love her?
When a woman cheats, the man will ask: Did you sleep with her?
Men generally view women as their exclusive property, which cannot be repaired if broken or damaged.

Women are emotional animals, and what they care about is whether love is unique.

Therefore, most cheating men are forgiven, while cheating women are all abandoned.

'Do you like me the most?'

Tang Wan's inferiority complex completely caused the shame buried deep in his heart to surge up and appear in broad daylight.

Xia An understood deeply that sooner or later he would have to face this process, but he never expected that it would be so painful when he was actually in it.

He had slept in the same bed with Tang Wan before, but in the past two days, Tang Wan's sleeping position had changed. She used to hold the quilt between her legs, but these two nights, she curled herself up into a small ball and huddled next to Xia An.

She didn't hold him, nor did she ask him to hold her. She just curled up quietly and motionlessly beside him. As long as their skins were touching, that was enough.

Then, when she woke up, she would throw herself on him with her eyes narrowed, and when there were no outsiders around, she would hang on him.

In her subjective consciousness, Tang Wan wanted to possess him all the time, but subconsciously she was afraid that he would get bored.

'Tang Wan, ah Tang Wan.'

God gave me a second life, and the gift package was you. God gave you a second life, and the punishment was meeting me.

Xia An took the recorded disc and rejected Guo Chuan's suggestion to publish it.

Previously, the income from ringtones was one cent per quarter, and the first share of the profits had not yet arrived, but Guo Chuan said that it was already a considerable amount. Xia An knew that he was convincing herself that this industry was profitable.

But Xia An really doesn't need to make money from this.

His instinctive thought was: Wait a while, I will introduce someone else to cooperate with you later.

He always wanted to write a song for Xiaoyouzi, but he didn't want to mention it now.

Xia An didn't mention Li Si in front of Zhang San. He thought he was the worst of the worst and had to start maintaining a little conscience and a bit of bottom line.

Tang Xiaowan appears strong on the outside, but in fact she is as fragile as a soft persimmon covered with frost.

After that night, Tang Wan made two requests to him.

First, sing a song.

Second, please be my cook for a few days. I want to eat the food you cook.

Maybe Su Yi’s cooking was too light, or maybe she wanted to taste the flavor of home.

Xia An stewed an pork elbow today with rich oil and sauce. Su Yi only took a bite and left it alone. Zhou Zhou was better, and Tang Wan gnawed on the bones to eat the rest.

After a couple of nibbles, she smiled and leaned over to her mouth. Xia An took the initiative to wipe her mouth, and then she started nibbling again. Su Yi rolled her eyes at this, but Zhou Zhou didn't dare to say anything. Xia An and the others were enjoying this.

As soon as Tang Wan entered the room, she changed her clothes and put on the most cartoon-like and childish pajamas.

Let Xia An feed them the fruit, and each person can take a sip of the drink.

"Tom and Jerry" seemed to be a common hobby of the three girls, but before the episode was over, Tang Wan suddenly ejected the disc from the DVD and turned to the local news.

Tang Wan smiled and put her arm around Xia An and said, "At half past six, do you think I'll look photogenic?"

She curled up on the sofa and tucked her feet under Zhou Zhou's butt.

On TV, a reporter from Dongshan News raised a microphone and asked, "As the new head of the Tang Group, Ms. Tang, why was your first move to suddenly change the company name before going public?"

Change name? !
Xia An didn't know about this, so he turned his head and winked at her.

Tang Wan pursed her lips and looked at him timidly, like a child who had made a mistake and was begging for forgiveness from an adult. The majesty in the camera did not exist on her face at all.

"The Tang Group isn't a traditional family business. From shareholders to executives to 16 employees, there are no more than people with the surname Tang, and none of them are my relatives.

Tang Group was built by everyone together. It is going to be listed. I don’t want the outside world to think that its founders are all from the same family based on the name.

In the future, its leader will not be just one person or one family. The current general manager is surnamed Liu, and the chairman is surnamed Tang. Soon, they may be surnamed Zhang, Li, or Xia.

My parents started their business in trade, and now the core assets of the group are still in trade, supermarkets, and supply chains.

Changing it to "Tang Shi" is to remind us to stay true to our original aspirations and to tell the public that this company's ultimate vision is to always deliver the sweetest candy to everyone."

The Tang Wan in the camera wore a ponytail, looking capable and refined. The Tang Wan in front of her had a bun, looking cute and charming. She asked Xia An, "Will you blame me?"

"Why blame you?"

"It will eventually have to be named Xia, so you can change it to Xia Group."

Xia An held her on his lap, pinched her cheek and said:
“God gave me the best and sweetest candy. I will never share it with others, but I can still give it to them so they can envy me.

After acquiring Candy Convenience, it should be called this name.

This company will always be called this name and will not be changed."

Su Yi and Zhou Zhou had already tactfully left the living room. Tang Wan rested her head on Xia An's arm, letting him hold her. She looked up at him and said, "I just think that if one day you don't want me anymore, thinking of the company back home, you should at least think of me..."

Xia An snorted and laughed, "That's enough, that's enough."

Tang Wan laughed uncontrollably.

Xia An patted her butt and told her to get up and put on some thick clothes.

The two of them went to the front yard together and stood under the persimmon tree. Xia An said, "Wait."

After two mouthfuls of "Pooh," he began to climb the tree.

Persimmon trees are generally tall, and the branches of this tree even extend to the roof of the third floor.

Xia An tried three times but couldn't climb two meters. He slid down the snow-covered tree trunk and fell hard.

Tang Wan's laughter could be heard from far away.

At this time, Zhou Zhou changed into the new sportswear that Su Yi bought for her and walked over.

"Let me do it."

Xia An and Tang Wan stepped back a few steps and watched Zhou Zhou climb to the top in no time.

Xia An held up the hem of her clothes and caught the persimmons she dropped one by one.

Tang Wan pointed at the one by the third-floor window and shouted excitedly, "That one, that one, I want that one. Zhou Zhou, help me throw it more accurately. I want to catch this one myself."

Tang Wan imitated Xia An and stretched out her skirt. Zhou Zhou was very accurate. It was more accurate to say that Tang Wan threw the ball accurately rather than catching it.

Tang Wan held the small, extraordinarily round, orange-red tomato in front of her face and told Xia An, "This is what I was looking at that night."

Xia An hugged her and nodded, "How should we deal with it?"

"Make it into dried persimmon cakes, and just the two of us will eat it."
