Ding Ding Ding Ding!!
The sharp alarm clock rang, Zhang Chai opened his eyes with sleepy eyes, stretched out his hand and viciously threw the alarm clock at the head of the bed to the ground, but the alarm clock still rang, and he couldn't help but curse: "Hmm- that's enough...... Damn it...... Alarm clock! It's still so dark......"
As soon as he said this, Zhang Chai inadvertently glanced at the hands of the alarm clock, and found that something was wrong, and suddenly a spirit rolled out of bed.
"It's already nine twenty?! Oh no, there's only half an hour left...... Damn it! Damn it! β
Zhang Chai hurriedly put on the white shirt next to the bed, and then ran to the closet and took out a black suit, and hurriedly put it on, looking very anxious, after all, there was an annoying date today, and it was not his style to miss the appointment.
After dressing, Zhang Chai rushed to the bathroom with a flying step, brushing his teeth quickly, while burying his head in the washbasin and letting the water in the faucet continue to wash his face, and finished washing in less than a minute.
"Whew...... It should be in time. Zhang Chai sighed, then pointed at the mirror, picked up a razor and scraped off the thick and messy stubble on both cheeks.
After doing all this, Zhang Chai pressed his hands on the washstand and stared at himself in the mirror, as if he was looking at a stranger.
On weekdays, when he doesn't shave, he looks like a sloppy middle-aged man, but after shaving off his beard today, he has become much 'younger', and with the dress of a suit and leather shoes, he looks quite presentable, not like a middle-aged man who is already forty-five years old, but more like a successful person who is close to thirty years old and looks very handsome.
"This type of uncle should be able to attract a lot of little girls, right?"
Zhang Chai smiled self-deprecatingly. I couldn't help but make a grimace at myself in the mirror.
No longer delaying time, Zhang Chai left the rental house he rented. Stopped a taxi and came to a cafΓ© in downtown Jiangchu City.
As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Chai's eyes fell on an old man in his seventies who was still red-faced. recognized this old man at a glance as his father's eldest brother Zhang Cheng, that is, his uncle.
"Chase!" As soon as he saw Zhang Chai, Zhang Cheng smiled from ear to ear.
"Ugh! Uncle ......" Zhang Chai felt a tingling on his scalp, greeted him with embarrassment, and whispered: "I'm in my forties, don't call me my former nickname all the time......"
Zhang Cheng pressed Zhang Chai's shoulder and said with a smile: "What's the matter, your parents went early, so I will treat you as my son." Calling you by your nickname upsets you again? β
"Okay, just call it." Zhang Chai shook his head helplessly, secretly glanced at the cafΓ©, and said worriedly: "Uncle, I think it's a little unreliable for your old man...... It's Sunday, and I still want to sleep in, I didn't want to come, I just didn't want you to wait here in vain. So ......"
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Cheng said unhappily: "You also know that you are in your forties, now don't say it's a child, you don't even have a daughter-in-law!" Do you really plan to make the old Zhang family extinct? Let me tell you, there are three kinds of unfilial piety. No queen is greater! If you don't get another child out, your parents will have to crawl out of the grave and beat you to death. β
"It's not that serious...... Zhang Chai lowered his head in distress and prevaricated: "I don't want to hide it from you." I know what my own conditions are, I don't have a car, I don't have a house, I don't have money. I'm still so old, what can you introduce to me? Let's be honest. I'm quite ambitious, so I haven't had a suitable partner for all these years. Let's take the last blind date, although the other party is only thirty-six years old, but that appearance is too exaggerated and outrageous, worse than the scene of the car accident, if I marry her...... It is estimated that I have to vomit more than half a liter of blood every day, but fortunately, people don't look down on me......"
"Cough-" Listening to Zhang Chai's complaint, Zhang Cheng coughed dryly, and then said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Last time was my intelligence mistake, but this blind date is satisfactory to you!" Guess how old they are? β
"Also in your thirties?" Zhang Chai guessed.
"We have to go down." Zhang Cheng smiled mysteriously.
"Twenty-nine? Twenty-seven or eight! β
"I said, why are you so unconfident? Look at you, you are good-looking, your character is also good, and you have been so smart since you were a child, and you are motivated to do things, and you are worried that a good girl can't look down on you? In short, it has to be lowered. β
"Praise me, but uncle, are you mistaken!" Zhang Chai said angrily: "You just say that she is only eighteen years old......
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Cheng clapped his hands heartily and laughed: "That's right this time!" They just turned eighteen! β
"- What?" Zhang Chai was stunned, then his eyes widened, and he said suspiciously: "Is the eighteen-year-old girl willing to follow me, an old guy in his forties?" Uncle, I beg you, old man, don't play tricks on me...... My little heart can't stand any stimulation, and I have to go to work tomorrow! The mood is bad enough, alas...... I beg you to go in and tell the girl, don't let her delay her beautiful youth. β
"your calf!" Zhang Cheng slapped Zhang Chai's head in annoyance, and pushed hard: "If you don't go in today, I won't recognize your son!" β
"Hey......" Zhang Chai exhaled painfully, and hurriedly hugged his head and smiled bitterly: "I wasn't your son in the first place......"
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Cheng was so angry that his old face turned blue, and he immediately slapped Zhang Chai on his head and face.
Seeing that the uncle was getting more and more ruthless, Zhang Chai felt quite helpless, and hurriedly shouted: "Okay, don't make trouble...... Yes! It hurts! Uncle, I know my mistake! Please give me a great opportunity to do good...... I'm definitely your son! As long as you push off this blind date and treat you as a grandson! β
"I don't have a grandson as big as you!" Zhang Cheng glared at Zhang Chai with hatred and shouted, "Right away!" Get in on a blind date for me now! β
"Excuse me, is Mr. Zhang here?"
At this moment, there was an extraordinarily sweet voice at the door of the cafΓ©, and the sound alone made people feel numb, obviously the other party was a very young girl.
"Yes, yes, yes!" When Zhang Cheng heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand and shouted, "Zhang chases him here!" Come here, girl! β
It's a shame!
Zhang Chai hurriedly turned around, lowered his head and covered half of his face with his hands. And quietly took out his mobile phone, stiffly pretending to be playing with his mobile phone. I almost hate my uncle to death.
With a burst of brisk footsteps, the girl behind said strangely: "Uncle Zhang." Is Mr. Zhang busy right now? β
Seeing that Zhang Chai was still pretending to play with his mobile phone, Zhang Cheng was secretly annoyed, and quietly bumped Zhang Chai's shoulder, signaling Zhang Chai to answer the question well.
Zhang Chai was absentmindedly swiping his fingers across the phone screen, and it wasn't until the uncle urged him again and again that he took a deep breath and said, "...... Hello Miss, I'm going to deal with the company's urgent business right now, so I'm sorry! I need to go back to work right away. β
Without waiting for Zhang Chai to find a reason to escape, Zhang Cheng grabbed Zhang Chai by the neck from behind. Leaned into his ear and whispered, "Who taught you to speak with your back to people?" Zhang Chai, you give me honesty today, no matter whether this blind date is successful or not, you have to respect the feelings of other girls, do you understand? You're not too small, stop being willful. β
Die and die!
Zhang Chai gritted his teeth, simply let it go, and turned around sharply and said, "Miss, I'm sorry!" Just now, the bastards in the company suddenly texted and said that the business had been processed, okay. Let's go in and have a blind dateβright?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Chai just looked up and saw the girl in front of him clearly, which immediately caused his voice to stutter.
Seeing Zhang Chai staring at the girl intently, Zhang Cheng laughed secretly. Quietly walked away from the two of them.
Amazing!
Since being pulled back to reality, Zhang Chai has never had any amazing feeling about women, and it seems that any woman has become a vulgar fan who is not worth mentioning in his eyes. But it wasn't until he saw the girl in front of him that he realized that there really was a little beauty in the real world who could be called a country and a city.
The girl had long black hair that hung down to her waist. Under the slightly thick bangs are a pair of clear and shiny big eyes and curved eyebrows. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, his fair skin was sickly pale, and his slightly pursed pink lips wore a playful smile, more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen.
But-
Why does this little girl become more and more familiar the more she looks at it?
Zhang Chai looked at the little beauty in front of him in disbelief, his mind kept recalling his memories from the beginning of his memory, and soon, an indifferent figure froze in his brain.
Airplanes!
Zhang Chai's head roared at the moment, his body couldn't stop trembling violently, and he shouted incoherently in his mouth: "You...... Zero? β¦β¦ No! β¦β¦ You are Gu ...... Wrong wrong! You're a demon! I must be crazy...... Lose your marbles...... It's impossible...... It's just a dream that even I almost forget! How could it be! β
"Mr. Zhang?" The little beauty tilted her head and said confusedly: "I'm not a demon, is there any misunderstanding between us?" β
Zhang Chai stared at the little beauty tightly, not missing a single expression on her face, looking at her as if she was not lying, but really unaware.
"Survival Game Island!" Zhang Chai suddenly probed her: "Gu Xinyan! β
"What?" The little beauty became more and more puzzled, "Mr. Zhang, have you heard my name?" β
"What did you just say?" Zhang Chai was startled, and he couldn't care about anything, grabbed her wrist, and asked sharply, "Your name is Gu Xinyan?" Gu Jia's Gu? Mood of the heart? The color of the face? β
"You're hurting me!" The little beauty was pained, frowned, and said, "My surname is Gu, but I don't call Xinyan, you may be mistaken." My name is Xinyan, warm and fresh, and I am a female character with a female character and a Yan who opens the word. β
"Gu, Xin, Yan......" Zhang Chai muttered this name with a similar pronunciation to Gu Xinyan, and then slowly let go of Gu Xinyan's wrist, sat down on the ground tiredly, covered her face and said bitterly: "Miss Gu, I'm sorry...... I recognized the wrong person...... Your voice is different from hers......"
"Oh, I see." Gu Xinyan's eyes flickered, she squatted down and asked curiously: "That person named Gu Xinyan, does he look like me?" β
Feeling the surprised gazes cast by the passers-by around him, Zhang Chai hugged his knees weakly, buried his head deep in his chest, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry, I'm a neurotic who can't even tell the difference between reality and fantasy...... Don't worry too much about my madness...... Miss Gu, go quickly, otherwise you will be considered by others to be a psychopath......"
"You're so pathetic now." Gu Xinyan stared at this man who was talking to himself as if he was really a nervous patient, she held her cheeks and asked, "Aren't you curious at all, why did I come to go on a blind date with you?" β
"I don't know......," Zhang Chai replied in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to know either...... Don't play with me. Do you think I can't see it? You're wearing a brand, and I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have any money and nothing, so I have nothing to do with rich people like you. How could you go on a blind date with me? It's almost the same as letting your mother come and take care of me on a blind date...... Hah, no way. β
"You seem to be crying?" Gu Xinyan suddenly said, "I've never seen you cry." β
Zhang Chai secretly wiped away his tears, looked up expressionlessly and said, "I didn't cry, you little girl didn't come to play with me." β
"I said I didn't cry." Gu Xinyan said with a smile: "My face is wet." β
Zhang Chai glared and said, "What's the matter with you?" β
"Of course it has something to do with me." Gu Xinyan suddenly said coldly: "I bought your life back at the beginning, and I don't allow you to let me down like this again." β
Zhang Chai looked at her with a familiar indifferent expression on her face in astonishment, and her heart suddenly beat violently.
"Don't be stupid." Gu Xinyan stretched out her fingers, lifted his chin, raised her eyebrows, and said, "I'm just more than twenty years late, how did you become so virtuous?" Remember. You are Zhang Chai, not a psychopath, you used to be the imperial general who ruled thousands of armies, and you are also a ghost who I love and hate...... But it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that now you are lonely and helpless, and finally only me is left by your side. β
Listening to her sudden and astonishing words, Zhang Chai was completely dumbfounded.
"What are you doing in a daze?" Gu Xinyan said angrily: "Stand up for me!" Do you want me to carry you myself? β
After speaking, Gu Xinyan turned her head and left.
"-Ah!! Don't go!! Zhang Chai suddenly came to his senses. Rolling and crawling from the ground to chase after Gu Xinyan in front, hugged her body tightly from behind, and asked with a short breath, "Are you...... Are you telling the truth? It can't be a peek at the notes I wrote, right? Still is...... You're really evil...... Gu Xinyan? I'm not dreaming! Did I ever really live on a survival game island? β
"Notes?" Gu Xinyan pouted and said, "You still wrote that kind of thing?" I can't really see it. β
"Then you admit it......" Zhang Chai said with surprise and a little trepidation: "Then I'm not a psychopath?" Am I a normal person?! That's great...... It's really great!! β
"Hold me so tight-" Gu Xinyan glanced at him, "Don't you hate me anymore?" β
Zhang Chai was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "It should be ...... Don't hate anymore...... It's been twenty years...... Any hatred will be smoothed out over time, right...... I just want to know. Can I regain my previous superpowers? Can you see ...... again?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Chai noticed the coldness spreading from Gu Xinyan's body, and he had to obediently close his mouth.
The atmosphere was silent for a while. Gu Xinyan said lightly: "It's okay, it's for you." I've compromised with zero and made a deal with her, and you can regain your strength at any time. As for the women you used to be, I'm sorry, I'm only allowed to see them once a month. β
"Really?!" Zhang Chai was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but whisper: "Can you ...... Change to three times a month? β
"Huh?" Gu Xinyan's cold gaze suddenly swept over, "If you have to make an inch, I won't let you see it." β
Zhang Chai was silent, but secretly pondered in his heart, anyway, the future is long, as long as she is coaxed, maybe she will be able to meet the girls every day......
After walking into a no-man's corner, Gu Xinyan flicked her hand, and the air around her gradually became like substance and distorted, like a whirlpool gate to a certain time and space.
Zhang Chai asked excitedly, "Are we going back to Survival Game Island?" β
"The island of survival games has long since fallen." Gu Xinyan corrected: "What is now in charge of Zero is a brand-new soul island. β
"That's right...... By the way, how's that guy Zero? β
"A laid-back and lonely island owner, I warn you not to think anything about her, or I will never spare you."
"How is that possible! I'm satisfied with you! What's more, you look exactly like Zero...... Yes! It hurts! β
As Zhang Chai and Gu Xinyan playfully stepped into the distorted air, the two figures disappeared without a trace in an instant, saying goodbye to this world completely. (To be continued.) )
