Chapter 176: Selflessness II

"An An, has your work not been going well lately, or is it because of that girl's relationship?"

It has been a few days since Chen An crossed over, but his mental state has not been adjusted, not to mention muddy, it looks more like he has suffered some psychological blow and has become emotionally numb, he still talks and laughs at the dinner table on weekdays, but now he doesn't say a word, he locks himself in the bedroom directly after eating, and he hasn't even been to the gym again. X

"It's not about these things, it's just that I've come up with some problems on my own. Chen An squeezed out a smile at his mother, who cared about him.

"What is the problem? An An, do you know that your mother is very worried about your current mental condition!" said my mother with a worried look. "If you look at the news now, many young people who can't bear the pressure have chosen to commit suicide......"

"Stop, Stop, Stop"

In order to dispel his mother's worries, Chen An hurriedly left the dining table and walked to the bedroom, and after a while, he took a thick book and put it on the table in front of his mother.

"I've been reading this book these days, so it's probably acting a little bit out of shape. ”

"I'll see...... What is this "The Universe in the Shell"? "My mother first glanced at the title of the book, and then the pages of the book were flooded, and the words in it dazzled her, and she knew every word on it, but she didn't recognize it when it was connected.

"Popular science books on the physics of the universe. Chen Andao.

"What? An An, why do you suddenly like to read this kind of book?" said the old mother, confused.

"It's just boring to pass the time, don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that I'm fascinated by reading a book and unconsciously affected, and it's normal to wait for a few days to finish reading." Chen An said with relief. "If you're really worried, you can take me to the hospital to see a psychiatrist on the weekend. ”

In order to relieve the worries in his mother's heart, he did not go back to the room after dinner, but left the house under the pretext of fitness.

Wandering aimlessly on the road because Chen An didn't even know where he wanted to go.

Unconsciously came to the edge of the river, and after getting out of the car, he put his hands on the railing and stared blankly at the sparkling river under the moonlight.

Ever since he learned the truth about the mysterious substance in his mind, he had only felt tired and even mentally collapsed.

Conflicted, painful, overwhelmed.

Sometimes an extreme thought arises in my mind.

What is the meaning of my life in this world?

But as soon as he thought of his parents, he dispelled the idea of killing himself.

He can't die, at least irresponsibly.

What's more, even if he wanted to die, it wouldn't allow it.

The more entangled, the more you care.

He actually wants to be a layman who has no heart and no lungs to follow his own **.

If money, beauty, and power are all within reach, people will pursue a higher level of spiritual satisfaction in this regard, that is, the higher needs after self-realization in Marlows's hierarchy of needs.

Everyone's values and pursuits are different, Chen An is originally a person who yearns for the ordinary, has a stable job, a virtuous wife, a happy family, and a healthy social circle. As long as you work hard, this is not difficult to do.

If it doesn't appear.

Maybe Chen An will still work in the original self-media company, or maybe he has a girlfriend who is talking about marriage.

But with the continuous time travel, he has lost his heart and can never go back to the past.

Even, he no longer dares to face the future.

But he couldn't avoid it.

Because he has a pair of hands behind his back, always pushing him forward, even if he wants to, he can't retreat.

"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword......"

At this time, the sound of a phone call suddenly sounded in his pocket, Chen An took out his mobile phone, looked at the caller's name displayed on it, and hesitated for half a second before choosing to answer.

"Xiaobao, what's the matter?"

"I heard my aunt say that you don't seem to be in a normal state of mind recently, just now my aunt called me and asked me to enlighten you. Xiao Bao sighed softly. "I said you're too worry-free these days, aren't you?"

"I'm really fine, don't listen to my mother's nonsense. Chen Andao.

"Oh, brother, why do you care about you, let's just make a fool of yourself, let's say, where are you? I just went to the gym to find you, and seeing that you are not there, I know that you are really in trouble. Xiao Bao said.

"On the banks of the Wenjiang River, opposite the Blue Water Garden. Chen An shook his head, and hung up the phone directly after reporting the address.

About ten minutes later, Xiaobao drove to the riverside, and as soon as he came over, he stepped forward and put his arm around Chen An's neck.

"I said that you kid really owe it to clean up! Don't tell your brother if you have something on your mind! Don't you treat me as a brother anymore?!"

"Xiaobao, even if I have a problem, it is a matter that you can't solve. Chen An patted Xiao Bao's arm around his neck and motioned to let go. "First of all, it's not about work, money, women. ”

"Eh, I'm surprised! Isn't there only a few things that worry about life in the world? You still don't have any feelings! So what the hell is on your mind?" Xiao Bao looked at Chen Andao with a look of surprise.

"It's not clear about this matter, you better not ask, really. Chen An said calmly.

"Okay!

Xiaobao let go of his hand, turned around and walked straight to the car parked on the side of the road, and when he opened the car door, he saw that Chen An didn't follow, so he hurriedly waved and shouted.

"Come here, what are you doing stupidly like a wooden stake?"

"I thought you were angry. ”

Chen An slowly stepped forward and felt unable to cry or laugh.

"Go by car, remember to follow me. ”

Saying that, Xiaobao sat in the driver's seat after urging Chen An, and saw Chen An's car headlights on in the rearview mirror, so he drove the car all the way forward.

After going around and around, the two came to the door of a bar, parked the car, and pulled Chen An, who got out of the car, to walk inside.

"Xiaobao, if you want to ask me for a drink, you don't need to come to such a noisy place, you can't hear clearly. ”

Chen An knew what Xiaobao had in mind at first sight.

"I'm telling you, drinking is the only way to come to this place. Xiaobao smiled. "Besides, do you know how long I've been depressed at home, can't I just relax as a rare companion to my brother?

After speaking, the two had already entered the bar, and on the way to come, Xiaobao had already called to book a table, and walked directly to a booth near the stage without being led by a consultant when they entered the door.

Watching Xiaobao greet people and call for wine with a familiar way, it is obviously not the first time to come to this place to play, because the time is still early, there are not many bar customers, after a few hours, this will become a noisy place for demons to dance around.

"Chen An, let me tell you, you don't have to think about anything tonight, even if you drink with your brother, anyway, one of the two of us must lie down and go out tonight. Before the wine came up, Xiaobao shouted at Chen An.

"Believe it or not, my sister-in-law will come over and pull your ear right away. Chen An said helplessly.

"Chen An, is it fun to play like this? Don't talk about anything else, drink. ”

It just so happened that the waiter brought a large vat of beer full of ice cubes, and the little packets couldn't wait to take out a beer and open each other's cups.

Chen An hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, and he was very restrained in drinking in the past.

That night, however, he drank a lot of wine.

Until Xiaobao was drunk and fell asleep on the table, he didn't stop the wine glass in his hand.

During the period, there was a wine girl who came over, but he just toasted two glasses with the other party casually, and left with a sense of humor.

It wasn't until about 1 a.m. that he felt almost drunk, and just as he was about to leave, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

Go back.

I didn't expect to meet an unexpected person.

Hu Junsheng.

"Hey! What a coincidence! I just came here and heard that we have a god of wine, and we have drunk almost seven or eight dozen wines without stopping, and I am interested in coming to take a look, and I see that it is an acquaintance!" Hu Junsheng said with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Chen An said subconsciously.

"I co-opened the bar, why do you think I'm not coming here?" Hu Junsheng sat down next to his seat, snapped his fingers at the waiter not far away, and whispered a few words in his ear after calling him.

"Long time no see, two drinks together?"

Hu Junsheng took a clean cup, poured it full, and raised his glass to Chen An.

"I'm ready to go. Chen An shook his head unconsciously, stretched out his finger and pointed to Xiao Baodao, who was sleeping on the stage. "Send him home by the way. ”

"I said, can you both go back after you've drunk like this? Have you driven? If you drive, how about I find a substitute driver to take you back in a while?" Hu Junsheng said.

"It's okay to drink, you better send my friend back first, his daughter-in-law will have to worry about it later." Chen An took one of the small bags and put it directly on his arm, ready to walk towards the outside of the bar.

"Yes, I'll find someone to send him. ”

As he spoke, Hu Junsheng called another waiter and whispered a few words, and when they went out and successfully delivered the small bag to the car, the substitute driver that Hu Junsheng found had already come.

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to the substitute driver, and I will ensure that it will be sent back to the door in good condition, let's go?" Waiting for Xiaobao to leave, Hu Junsheng on the side said to Chen An with a smile.

"You, little clever ghost, are you beating me up again!"

Chen An, who was obviously drunk, shook his body and pointed his finger at Hu Junsheng little by little.

"Tsk, how dare I have a bad idea in front of you, brother, who doesn't know that you are a martial arts master!" Hu Junsheng helped Chen An and slowly walked back to the bar with a smile.

Back at the booth, Chen An drank with Hu Junsheng regardless of it.

One cup after another, Hu Junsheng was stunned for a while, and finally went to the toilet and vomited twice.

The bar has already closed time, the other guests have left, and the whole bar is only left with the staff and Hu Junsheng's friends, in fact, they are all stunned, how can this guy drink it?

When Hu Junsheng came back from the toilet for the third time, he saw Chen An holding a wine bottle and staggering on the stage shouting and reciting poetry.

"Those who husband heaven and earth are the rebels of all things, and those who are timed are passers-by of a hundred generations. And floating life is like a dream, for the joy of geometry? The ancients traveled by candle at night, and it was good to have ......."

"Damn, Brother Jun, your friend is really drunk!"

Hu Junsheng's friend hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Hu Junsheng clasped his hands and looked at Chen Andao, who was drunk and crazy on the stage, with a smile.

"I'm not afraid that he will drink too much, but I am afraid that he will not get drunk......"

"What do you mean?" the friend wondered.

"Of course it's him......" Hu Junsheng restrained his smile.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished saying this, Chen An suddenly stood still on the stage, slowly turned his head to look at Hu Junsheng, and stretched out his finger to hook his hand at him.

"Hu Junsheng, come. ”

"Hey, buddy, keep drinking?" Hu Junsheng didn't move, as if his face had changed, and he instantly regained his hypocritical smile.

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Chen An frowned, and said with a meaningful smile. "I don't know what trick you want to play, but I'll give you three minutes, and if you haven't done it in three minutes, then I'll be gone!"

"Dude, don't say that, you want to go back, okay, I'll have someone send you. Hu Junsheng said generously.

"Yo, could it be that I misjudged you, Cheng, I'll compensate you here. ”

Chen An shook his body and jumped off the stage and walked towards the bar.

"You will send him to the Jinhao Hotel to open a room for him to sleep in. When bidding farewell to Chen An, Hu Junsheng specially called the substitute driver in the bar and said in his ear.

"What if he doesn't go?" said the substitute driver.

"I can't find a reason! Stupid! Just say that my parents are not worried when I go back at this time?" Hu Junsheng casually twitched the head of the substitute driver.

"Okay! Leave it to me to take Brother Hu. ”

"I said Brother Jun, what kind of trick are you playing!"

After the substitute driver sent Chen An away, Hu Junsheng's friend couldn't help but be curious.

"Of course, it's to give him a lively and passionate live broadcast!" Hu Junsheng couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.

", Brother Jun, he offended you, why did he use such a vicious trick?" said the friend with wide eyes.

"It's just a report and a report. After Hu Junsheng finished laughing, he added by the way. "By the way, I'll find two girls who are willing to show up later, and the price is easy to say!"
