Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 53 When We Talk About Loyalty

Chapter 53 When We Talk About Loyalty (1) (6K monthly ticket required)
Xia An knows how to judge a person's basic character from his sleeping posture.

A carefree and cheerful man was lying there with his arms and legs spread out.

Those who lack a sense of security will mostly curl up in a corner.

Therefore, introverted people who live alone generally like to sleep in a single bed. If there is no single bed, they will only sleep on a small edge of a double bed.

Hold the quilt between your legs and fold the four corners.

This was true for Tang Wan, Le Ning, the little Youzi in front of him, and even himself.

Lin Jiajia, I don’t know…

When I woke up next to the toilet that day, she was gone.

However, in this modern society with skyscrapers, how many people are not lonely in their hearts?

……

Zuo You fell asleep.

His head is slightly lowered and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised.

As quiet as a cat that has just found shelter in the snow.

Xia An at this age in her previous life didn’t understand, but Xia An now knows it very clearly - Zuo You is as her name suggests.

Beneath the thick, fresh and warm shell is a heart that is almost as transparent and soft as crystal.

Her strength is not hardness. On the contrary, the grapefruit peel is very sticky and will collapse even if pressed by a finger.

But she will automatically absorb the pressure and slowly rebound.

This represents her attitude towards the world.

Zuo You, who came into contact with life at an early age, coped with the hardships of survival with the perfect values formed early on, and accepted it with joy.

As far as he knows, Zuo You did not have a rebellious period during her growth.

From the beginning to the end, I have been facing the pomelo petals that I have been protecting with the purest heart and the sweetest smile.

That’s family, mom and dad.

It's a little brat.

Once the shell is completely peeled off, the soft flesh will be afraid of sunlight, wind, frost, rain, snow, and even touching.

If touched, the soft grapefruit will break into pieces, like sand and dust, and scatter in the mud.

Xia An lowered his head and touched Youzi's forehead with the tip of his nose.

Electric blankets in winter, bamboo mats in summer...

Zuo You and Xia An have slept in the same bed many times.

But that was in my childhood when there was no strict distinction between boys and girls.

Xia An, who was sitting on the floor, looked at the little Youzi with trembling eyelashes and held her hand. That was enough, she was very satisfied.

The freshest pomelo must be his, so Xia An is not in a hurry.

Moreover, there was no desire in the friendship during the two hours of reunion.

The zipper of the canvas bag placed under the bed leg was opened, and Xia An saw a piece of white headphone wire.

Zuo You likes music and dancing. Wei Xiaofang has praised her countless times, both explicitly and implicitly, as a natural-born star, and used this to urge her own son to eat less messy food.

"Keep up your image, or how will you ever be worthy of Yuzu?"

Xia An didn't listen much and couldn't resist the temptation of fried skewers and barbecue. Fortunately, Xia Kangning and Wei Xiaofang had strong genes.

Xia An reached for the headphone cable and pulled the MP3 player out of her bag.

Meizu M6, the gift Xia An gave to Zuo You a year ago.

He remembered that he had been saving money for a long time, and finally, two days before Zuo You's birthday, he begged Wei Xiaofang for the remaining 8% and bought it.

Xia An likes the Meizu brand very much and sticks to the fresh and clean style in the counterfeit market.

In 06, it had already occupied a high share in the music peripheral market.

Later, it started making mobile phones, which were supported by a small number of people born in the 00s. However, it was suppressed by Apple's popular "fashion trend" and fell into obscurity. It was not until the rise of domestic products and the post-3s who no longer flattered the West became the mainstream of C consumption that it revived again.

As an investor, Xia An admires Huang Zhang's tenacity in product development.

In my previous life, I wasn't good enough to interact with others. In this life, should I try to get involved...

--Pooh!

Xia An immediately spat at himself.

At such a warm moment, why bother thinking about business?

The MP3 player does not have a protective case or a film.

But it was wrapped in Xiaoyouzi's exclusive hand-sewn woolen cover.

Brand new.

There are many songs downloaded in it, including popular, classical and classic ones.

Xia An noticed that the song that was paused was the single loop of "True or False".

I put on my headphones and listened to a few lines before I remembered that I had heard this song before.

Ruminating his mind, he recalled that the original singer seemed to have collapsed when he invested in the entertainment industry.

But in the later generations when covers became popular, Xia An seemed to have heard another version of this song, which was not bad.

The singing voice of ordinary sound quality came out like flowing water.

Xia An narrowed his eyes, rested his chin on one hand, and stroked his fingertips that looked like grapefruit jade with the other hand, listening quietly with great peace of mind.

...

What am I in your eyes?

When can I be honest with myself?

...

There is no trust between you and me, only care

We never confirmed that question.
It always makes people feel troubled

...

I will look forward to the dawn when love blooms
There will be beautiful love
...

After listening to it, he became more convinced that the cover version he heard was better than the original.

With a faint smile, Xia An reached into the quilt and gently covered Xiao Youzi's left knee.

Thin, but not without flesh.

Zuoyou has had perfect legs from childhood to college.

I didn't take off my pants before going to bed, and my nipples were round under my jeans.

After the divorce, Le Ning told Lu Fei through him that Xiao Youzi's breasts were broken in an accident during a performance in 2016.

Because of the lack of money and the lack of timely treatment, the little grapefruit who used to dance like a fairy turned into a little cripple.

For some reason, Xia An pursed her lips and smiled again.

Is she going to learn this from her dad?

Or am I imitating Lao Xia?

Is it necessary to make every generation of people with the surname Zuo lame?
Zuo You, who didn't want a degree and quit her job, left Dongshan and stayed away from Xia An, whom she felt guilty about meeting, and traveled around various rural stages to make a living.

08 to 16.

I have no fixed place to live, and the past eight years have been the same.

That winter, the stage scaffolding built at the entrance of the village was not stable to begin with, and it was snowing.

The members of the dance team fell one after another. The only one who didn't fall was Xiao Youzi, who broke the wooden board that was cracked by the others with one foot.

It was the dead of winter, and her legs were bare under her gauze skirt.

The wooden splinter cut through the calf and thigh, leaving blood everywhere, which was a shocking sight.

I fell down a hole one and a half meters high and knelt on the stone.

——How painful must it be?
16 to 24.

Teaching at Hope Primary School has been going on for another eight years.

Le Ning asked Lu Fei to tell Xia An:
——Sixteen years, the life of two women.

——I am loyal to my love, I did it.

——Now, please be true to the choice you have made.

Obviously, Le Ning was also shocked by Zuo You's sixteen years of suffering.

Xia An didn't dare to touch it anymore.

He pulled his hand free, took the Polaroid camera, and brought it close to the sleeping Zuo You's face.

Click.

The photo paper automatically emerges and develops slowly.

Just like the one in the restaurant before, Xiao Youzi’s mouth was pressed against Xia An’s face.

"I'll keep this one and give you the one from the hotel," said Xia An.

Zuo You rested her head on the back of her hand, closed her eyes lazily and said "hmm" softly.

She woke up just as Xia An put her hand into the quilt.

Grit your teeth and close your eyes tightly.

She didn't know what the little brat was going to do, she guessed that the little brat was going to do something bad.

Is this what love is like? she thought.

Before I came back, I thought that this time we would just hug each other and hold hands at most.

But the kiss happened.

Touch it again?
It's not impossible, but it works on the top, but how can it work on the bottom? !

knee?

What's the kid's hobby?

She almost laughed out loud at that moment.

But under the gentle and soothing caress of his fingertips and palms, she didn't detect any evil thoughts.

On the contrary, it feels like a master petting a small animal, or like an elder loving a child.

Tsk, little brat.

The morning light was blocked by the lingering dark clouds, the air outside the curtains was gray, and water droplets were condensed on the glass.

Zuo You looked at Xia An's profile.

From the forehead, you can see thick eyebrows, straight nose, lips, and Adam's apple.

Zuo You moved herself closer to the wall and patted the pillow.

"Come up and sleep."

……

This was the fastest time Xia An had fallen asleep since his rebirth.

He remembered that he had one arm around Yuzu's neck and the other around her chest.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside, but Zuo You was gone from the bed.

There is none in the whole house.

If it weren't for her luggage and cell phone, Xia An would have almost thought that last night was a dream.

Zuoyou is next door.

Xia An found Xiao Youzi, who was caught by Xia Kangning and his wife, in his own home.

Their son is leaving for school tomorrow, so Xia Kangning and Wei Xiaofang took a leave of absence to help Xia An pack his luggage.

But she is gone now. At noon, the couple met Zuo You downstairs who bought lunch for Xia An, and pulled her upstairs to reminisce about the past.

Wei Xiaofang took out two large bags of things that she had asked Xia An to bring to Binhai for her, one by one, as if presenting treasures, and even stuffed a red envelope for Zuo You.

Xia Kangning went even further.

In front of Xiao Youzi, he called Zuo Dashu and told him that everything was fine at home and the two children had just woken up, so he shouldn't worry.

I just woke up, I feel relieved? ?
Zuo Dashu hung up the phone angrily.

Zuo You was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Wei Xiaofang nagged Xia Kangning, and the two of them wisely gave both rooms to the children and went for a walk.

After listening to Zuo You's words, Xia An was so happy that he couldn't even swallow his buns.

"There's no need to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

These words were not said by Xia An, but were said by Zuo You with a smile on his face.

Xia An stuffed the meat bun whole and nodded heavily.

He drew a circle in front of the little grapefruit with his hand, "Perfection."

Zuo You had already finished her shower and was sitting at the dining table at Xia An's house. She leaned on the chair with both hands and asked him, "Are you not worried now?"

Xia An didn't understand and asked what he was worried about.
"Don't worry, even if I become a little celebrity, I won't run away with someone else, right?"

Zuo You tilted her head, smiled, and spoke frankly about what she thought was the reason behind Xia An's disorderly thoughts.

Xia An also laughed.

On the day of the finals, most of the eleven contestants received signing invitations from their agencies.

Currently, there are two companies planning to sign Xiaoyouzi and verbally promising a bunch of exaggerated benefits.

Xia An has never heard of either company, and estimates that their survival time is very short.

Just kidding.

This is a personal benefit, and there are three group ads.

Band-Aids, medicated wine, and women's stretch pants.

The total cost is 60,000 per person before tax, which is considerable.

This is a benefit given by the organizer, Beijing Dance Academy, to the finalists. It is also a hard indicator and must be filmed.

Zuo You told him this while eating egg fried rice last night.

'Don't worry about me running away with someone else,' I just said.

Xia An understood that this was the young Youzi's immature promise to herself that she would be loyal to love in her prime.

If the person who said this was not Zuo You, Xia An might not believe it.

Generally speaking, promises made in the heat of the moment are only valid in the moment and have a short duration.

Especially after entering the colorful entertainment industry, relying solely on the impulse of youth to maintain love is nothing short of a joke.

But Xia An was very touched.

When the signs of her future began to emerge, the thoughtful little Youzi traveled thousands of miles back just to give him an explanation and a promise.

To be honest, I like you too.

I won’t run away, that’s my promise.

That's enough.

Xia An drank some soy milk and said, "Do you believe that fate has a trajectory?"

Zuo You thought of what he said beside her bed before she went to sleep in the early morning.

Nodding: "I believe it."

Xia An said, "Well, it's like a railroad track. Stand on it boldly and walk in the direction you want to go. I'll support you from the side."

Little Youzi held her face with both hands, leaned her elbows on the table, and looked at Xia An with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

She was very surprised.

Is this a real little brat?

The sense of security is overwhelming.

Little Youzi felt warm in her heart.

It’s great to be in love.

"Ah."

……

It was two o'clock in the afternoon. Zuo You still had six hours before she boarded the bus back to Beijing.

Afterwards, I will follow the program team to rehearse the finals stage, including solo and ensemble performances.

Xia An knew that if Zuo You could eventually get into the top six or a higher ranking.

Apart from the opportunity to enter a dance academy as an auditor.

With her looks, she has basically stepped into the entertainment industry.

Xia An understood even more clearly that the reason Zuo You came back to confirm her relationship with him proved that she had already decided to pursue a successful career.

Hobby is one thing, but more importantly, you can make money quickly and reduce the burden on your family.

"Here are the flowers."

She took out a small envelope she had prepared in advance and handed it to Xia An.

There was fifteen hundred dollars in it.

“Although it’s the Department of Journalism and Communication, it’s also part of the School of Arts.

"I have experience. My classmates all come from well-off families, so they'll take turns treating us to meals after school starts.

“It’s not easy for uncles and aunts to earn money, you are not allowed to ask them for more.

"I still have some, you can spend it."

Give money.

Apart from my mother, how many women have given me money during this period?

What is this?
Reborn to mess with women, get their money, and let women get their money...

Xia An took out the can of folded little stars, helped Zuo You pack her things, and took her out with the backpack.

As soon as I left the community, I ran into my parents who had been wandering on the street for half a day because they had nowhere to go.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Take your daughter-in-law out for some shopping."

Xia An waved to stop a car and answered loudly.

Zuo You was dragged along, laughing so hard that she bent over.

...

Today's odds have already been placed in advance, so don't worry about it.

Now there is only 85 yuan transferred by Tang Wan in Xia An’s card.

Give Zuo You 85?
She would be scared to death at 8.

Unable to resist Xia An, Zuo You was forcibly taken to the mall by him.

In fact, Xia An didn’t know what to buy for her.

When asked to buy clothes, she put her hands on her hips and said no.

When it comes to buying skirts, she is very similar to Le Ning, a bit conservative. She basically doesn't wear skirts except when going on stage.

"Buy a pair of better sneakers. You dance all the time and your feet get tired. It's always good to walk more comfortably."

That was what he said, but Zuo You stamped her feet and said that this pair was the one she bought before going to Yanjing.

No choice.

The naturally beautiful little Youzi doesn't need much clothing to decorate herself.

"cosmetic?"

"Okay, buy me a bottle of Dabao."

If he continued to be stubborn, Zuo You would pinch his ears.

Xia An held her hand and strolled around the mall.

"I've been looking forward to this day since I was a child. I want to give you my little treasury."

Can a boy save up a small treasury? Zuo You didn't quite believe it and looked at him suspiciously.

Xia An took out his bank card and shook it with a smile: "There are 8000 yuan in it."

The amount was within the acceptable range, so Zuo You was not very surprised and smiled with relief.

She nodded and praised Xia An: "Not bad, he is a boy who knows how to live."

Xia An grinned.

Then Zuo You said, "Keep saving it, or tell your parents it's for living expenses."

Good wife.

Xia An fell silent.

Zuo You thought he was unhappy, and tried to persuade him earnestly, "We are studying outside, and you are studying such an expensive major, you should think more about them.

"They'll have to tighten their belts at home, which is not good."

Someone who loves you will be touched when you spend money on her, but will feel more sorry for you.

Xia An put his arm around her waist and said he didn't want to go shopping anymore.

"But you have to let me give you something, right?"

"You gave me Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I like it very much. All girls like it."

Zuo You smiled and nodded, then took his hand and swung.

Yes, all girls like it, Xia An thought.

Le Ning likes it very much. She even has a can waiting to be taken to Binhai to give to Tang Xiaowan. She will probably be so moved that she will cry.

"That doesn't count," he said.

There are many stalls on the pedestrian street outside the mall.

They sell everything.

Most of them are handmade jewelry and souvenirs.

Xia An suddenly had an idea and thought of what to give Zuo You.

She has been on the edge of the entertainment industry for some time and is away from home, so what she needs most is emergency funds.

Xia An asked Zuo You to walk forward for a while and said that he was going back to go to the toilet.

Back to the mall, I went straight to the jewelry store.

Bracelets, earrings, bracelets, necklaces...

He lay there and looked carefully, checking each style and price.

Gold definitely won’t work, it can be seen through at a glance.

The saleswoman saw the boy carrying a large women's canvas bag with his face pressed against the window. She came over and asked in amusement, "What would you like to choose, sir?"

Xia An said without raising his head that he had not thought about it yet.

The saleswoman asked, "Giving it away as a gift?"

"Yes, for my girlfriend."

Hearing this, the female salesperson took out a pair of earrings.

"This one is the latest cherry style, 1.5 grams, 200 yuan, very cost-effective."

Xia An looked at her in confusion, then looked at his own outfit and understood.

He said, "I don't want gold, I want platinum with diamonds. I don't want a necklace, I want a bracelet that doesn't look too eye-catching, something ordinary, but the diamonds have to be natural."

Xia An pointed at the sign and said, "You claim it's a natural diamond."

The saleswoman took a breath, looked at Xia An intently, and examined him from top to bottom again.

Finally, he walked behind the counter in the corner, squatted down, picked up the three suitcases, stood up and placed them on the cupboard.

"There are only three natural diamond bracelets in the provincial capital at the moment. Please choose."

Xia An fell in love with the pink and yellow diamond bracelet in the style of baby's breath at first sight, but it was a bit expensive and she didn't have enough money in her card.

The additional two models are less than half the price.

Xia An thought about it and chose the less eye-catching one among the two cheaper ones.

22, rounded off to 1420.

Swipe.

Don't pack it, just put the inspection certificate in your back pocket.

When they reached the door, Xia An came back.

Asked the dull saleswoman: "Do you have any transparent plastic jewelry packaging..."

The saleswoman stiffly took out a sealed bag containing two obsidian beads from her uniform pocket.

The beads were originally from her own bracelet. She poured them into her palm and handed the bag to Xia An.

"Yes, this will do, thank you."

After putting the bracelet inside, Xia An left happily.

The whole journey takes ten minutes.

The female salesperson suddenly jumped to the top of the provincial chain store performance list today.

……

Zuo You is watching a stage talent show.

She was completely stunned by the shrill, off-tune singing and the girl with the red afro.

When Xia An hugged her from behind, she shuddered at first. When she saw it was him, she asked blankly:
"Do you have to dress like this to enter the entertainment industry?"

Xia An knew that she was smiling happily, but she was still touched by her cute little appearance.

He took out the bracelet with a "thump thump thump" sound, pointed to where it came from, and said he saw it on the street stall.

"20 yuan, is that okay? I need something to remember today."

Zuo You fiddled with it with her fingers, muttering, "The style is a bit old-fashioned, but it's okay. I'll wear it."

Xia An helped her put it on her wrist, and it sparkled brightly as the sunlight came after the dark clouds dispersed.

Xia An said, "Although it's cheap, it's my first official gift to you. Please don't lose it, okay?"

Zuo You smiled and said, "From childhood to adulthood, you're the only one who loses things. I've never lost anything."

Xia An held her hand and walked into the crowd.

"From now on, I won't lose anything."

Xia An's words were full of double entendres, and were spoken with such emotion and sincerity that they moved him deeply.

As a result, Zuo You was walking happily with her long legs, and suddenly turned her head and said:

"By the way, I heard from Teacher Liu that besides you, there's another female student in the art class who was also admitted to Binhai University."

Teacher Liu was Zuo You’s homeroom teacher back then.

He is Xia An’s homeroom teacher.

When Zuo You was a senior in high school, Xia An and Le Ning were freshmen.

Le Ning knows Zuo You.

Similarly, Zuo You also knows Le Ning.

With Tang Wan dominating the top flower throne for years, the competition for the second place on the Sixth Middle School's Beauties List is quite fierce.

Before Le Ning entered the school, Zuo You had been sitting there steadily for two years.

After Le Ning entered the school, the Lemon Party in the first year of high school fought against the die-hard fans of Youzi in the second and third years of high school.

The names of both of them were very popular in the forum that year.

Xia An is a rebellious ninja among the boys in the first year of high school.

"Learning a musical instrument, Le Ning. Teacher Liu said so."

Seeing Xia An's stunned look, Zuo You suppressed his laughter and spoke meaningfully.

Xia An was about to speak when Zuo You walked backwards and asked him again, "Are you still ignoring me like before?"

The small grapefruit in the backlight is coated with a layer of gold.

Xia An swallowed his saliva.
-
Le Ning sneezed.

The air conditioning in the mall is too cold.

The train leaves at 6:30 in the evening and arrives directly in Binhai tomorrow afternoon.

After checking in their luggage, Zhou Ting was walking with her daughter on Pudong Commercial Street to shop.

The rest can be purchased in Binhai, but she wants to buy a new set of clothes for her daughter to wear when she reports to school.

But seeing his daughter's hands full of things, Zhou Ting felt upset and said sarcastically:

"Aren't you going to buy something for your dad?"

"You bought a razor, didn't you? It's in your bag." Le Ning replied indifferently.

Zhou Ting's nose was spitting fire, and he reached out and tapped his daughter's forehead.

"You little heartless guy, you always think about others first wherever you go. You bought him so many things, don't let him not even think about you when the time comes."

Le Ning: “Oh.”

Zhou Ting was helpless.

It's always like this, like hitting cotton with nowhere to vent.

"Why did I raise a daughter like you who pays for nothing?"

Normally, the conversation would end here.

But when Zhou Ting paid the bill and walked out angrily.

Le Ning quickened his pace and caught up.

"mom."

"what!"

Zhou Ting said angrily without even turning his head.

"mom."

Zhou Ting stopped.
