Chapter 4: Superman Returns

The third day of Zhuoqun's return.

His roommates have found even greater changes in him.

That is, his expression was deep and melancholy.

Always a person with a newspaper in his hand, sitting alone on the edge of the playground or on a campus chair in a daze.

And he smoked and became particularly fierce, becoming a "big chimney".

When I saw him, he was almost in a state of spitting clouds and mist.

At the end of this day, it is estimated that the two boxes may not be able to be beaten.

But everyone asked him if there was something wrong, and he was still tight-lipped.

Always smiling and insisting that he was fine and that everything was fine.

Expresses a very polite, but refuses to care about the alienation.

Of course, this performance is actually quite easy to explain.

It's just Zhuo Qun's instinctive reaction to feel lonely and lonely because of what happened to him.

You know, he has no way to tell others what happened to him and what he knows about the future.

Because whoever hears it will not believe him.

I'm afraid it's either a super joke, or I'll think he's got a bad brain.

But on the other hand, the more he learned about the present through the newspaper, the clearer his understanding of his situation became.

The greater the psychological pressure you feel.

Don't forget, in a sense, he lived once after all.

Now it's like a movie that's being replayed.

Just don't look at him and return to this time period of his life.

It seems that everything has been preserved as it is.

Including entering the "National University", becoming roommates with Xu Yuntao, Gu Weijia, Qiao Jian, He Xu, and Li Kai, and retaking the courses of 20 years ago.

But since he woke up from the dormitory bed, everything has subtly deviated from the original trajectory.

For example, he still remembers that there was a female teacher who took a public class in his freshman year and was more perverted.

The teacher usually starts handing out paper quizzes as soon as the bell strikes.

On the one hand, it can play the role of roll call, and on the other hand, it also consolidates the knowledge of the previous lesson.

But the most insidious thing about her is that the paper she sends to her classmates who are late has a small corner removed.

According to the school's regulations, three classes are counted as one absenteeism.

In the past, half of the people in dormitory 402 went to the academic affairs office because of this special little mark.

But this time, because of his reminder, everyone easily avoided stepping on the thunder.

For example, in the past, he was a neatly dressed, cheerful, and studious person.

It was easy to gain the favor of most of the teachers and classmates, and he almost became a cadre of the student union.

But now his sloppy image, gloomy and weird manners, words and deeds, are not liked by people.

In professional class, he was deliberately asked a few times by a teacher who was supposed to be very friendly to him.

This situation does not exist in the original history.

Although in the long run, such a small difference between the past and the present may not have a particularly profound impact on his future.

But after all, it's still a little different, isn't there still the term "butterfly effect"?

Who knows what the dire consequences of these effects once they add up?

Of course, he doesn't have to worry about the paradox of time.

He is not an outsider who roams around, fearing that he will meet his younger self.

Or fear of killing your grandfather, you don't exist.

He is the young self, he belongs to the world, he is part of the world.

Only his heart comes from the future, and the future exists only in his heart.

But what about Wei Li?

Where is his wife now?

He suddenly had an urge to find her, to see her with his own eyes, to meet her......

But he didn't know where to find her.

Wei Li is four years older than him, and she didn't go to college in Beijing.

It will be another two years before she goes to work at the "Urban Youth Daily".

Besides, neither of them is each other's first love.

Wei Li should still be with her boyfriend from college.

There is no possibility that the two of them will merge in their lives right away......

Thinking of this, Zhuo Qun's breathing couldn't help but become short.

He subconsciously lit a cigarette and took a sharp puff to calm his restless and chaotic mood.

Such a violent fluctuation of emotions is due to the fact that he is aware of the crucial point.

Fate is not set in stone.

Now that there are multiple possibilities in front of him, there are so many options for him to make.

But there are also terrible consequences of serious derailments that make him contradict himself.

For example, he was completely unsure.

Find Wei Li as happened and make her fall in love with herself again.

I think that at the beginning, he moved her with his ideals, enthusiasm, sunshine and vigor when he first entered the society.

Now he no longer possesses these qualities.

So what should he do?

Maybe he should try to fit the original trajectory as much as possible.

It is also time to refocus on your studies and memorize knowledge that you have forgotten but will never be of practical use.

Pretend that everything is the first time, and completely blend in with the current environment.

Then he graduated smoothly, went to work in a newspaper, met Wei Li, and found a way to marry her.

Can...... But what's the point?

He had enough of his previous life.

Do you know that you have failed and bad, and you have to go through a painful and predictable life again?

At this moment, Zhuo Qun suddenly found the traces of Li Kai and He Xu on the edge of the playground.

He Xu had obviously just finished eating.

But what is unusual is that he is not only eating himself.

Li Kai, who was sitting across from him, was also holding a spoon and digging food from his rice bowl and stuffing it into his mouth.

And while eating, I talked to him, without the slightest hint of blushing and heartbeat.

Zhuo Qun suddenly remembered.

This is exactly what Li Kai has always been shameless in the four years of college.

This kid is a well-known "rice maniac".

He even has the habit of borrowing paper in the morning.

He also serves as a "paper borrower".

Not for anything else, just because the family is poor.

Li Kai's family is in the countryside of Yanbei, and he is the worst family in the whole dormitory, and he is used to being stingy.

But it's a pity that he couldn't stay in Beijing after graduation.

I can only go back to my hometown in a third-tier city to be a small editor of a local newspaper, and I have been accompanied by hardship all my life.

In the past, Zhuo Qun was indifferent to him, and even occasionally teased with everyone.

But at this time, witnessing this situation, it is inevitable that there is a resonance and sadness.

No, no, no, the original trajectory of life, there are too many unsatisfactory places.

He didn't want to live his old life.

Damn!, why not?

Different is different, change is change.

Remain unchanged, mix and wait for death is the choice of cowards.

He has to pursue new things in his first life, so he doesn't care what bad results will happen.

He hopes that he can stand in the upper echelons of society, achieve fame, and be bathed in the glory of his body.

He wished he could have a beautiful wife and lovely children.

With a famous car and a mansion, the possibilities are endless.

As for why?

Of course, with his knowledge of future trends, he has a lot of information to good use.

Yes, he's not a technical guy.

He couldn't design anything like a computer or 5G.

He also doesn't know how to operate and manage, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to develop the company into something as great as Huawei.

But he can still apply his knowledge.

He has been in the media industry all his life and has professional knowledge of journalism.

He is almost aware of the major events and trends that will affect society from now until 2019.

He can rely on changes in the stock market, the real estate market, the economy, and the world situation to quickly earn a lot of money.

Of course, that assumes that what he does doesn't have a particularly distorting effect on the future.

With this assumption, he can't guarantee 100% of the vote at the moment.

But if he can do this, then there is no doubt that he is Superman.

Yes, he already has red pants.

The control of the future is his blue stretch suit.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Qun was emotionally unbearable again, and he couldn't help but light another cigarette.

But unlike just now, his eyes have become bright this time.

And at the same time as he spat out the smoke, with a full sense of history, he vigorously waved his fist in the direction of the playground.

And talk to yourself in a troubled way.

"In the fall of 1996, Superman returns!"
