Chapter 9, [Two Thousand and Six Hundred Million]
"I'm back."
……
……
Quiet summer nights are full of stars.
Lin Zhibai sat by the window, looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky outside the window with a peaceful gaze.
In fact, he doesn't like summer very much, and he doesn't like summer in Tin City.
In Lin Zhibai's impression, his father was very busy every summer, and sometimes he was so busy that he couldn't go home for a meal.
My mother is a housewife, and I can't stay with her because I live in school, so my mother is lonely when she is alone at home in the summer.
When Lin Zhibai was a child, he was not sensible, and he often complained to his father at every turn that he was not at home, but every time at this time, his mother would touch his hair and say softly.
"Dad wants to make money to support the family."
"Otherwise, where will I get the money to marry a daughter-in-law in vain?"
In fact, if you want to talk about it, although this kind of life is dull and boring, it is also very happy.
Outside the male protagonist and inside the female protagonist, there is also a handsome and well-graded child.
But all of this disappeared with a car accident in 12 years.
………
………
Pulling his thoughts back from the sky, Lin Zhibai sighed.
He looked back at the picture hanging on the wall of the living room and read it silently in his mind.
Mom and Dad, I'm sorry.
After all, I still haven't lived the way you expect.
People tend to be cranky when they are alone.
In the past, in order to avoid being lonely, Lin Zhibai would change his bed partner to a different woman every day.
He thought that after venting all his energy on women, he wouldn't think about some things.
But in fact, the memories that go deep into the bone marrow are often more profound and unforgettable when the surging desires fade like a tide.
………
"Jingle bells."
The phone rings.
Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Lin Zhibai turned it on and put it in his ear and said flatly.
"Is there something wrong?"
Hearing this, the other side was silent for a few seconds, and then a gentle female voice came.
"Zhibai, have you slept?"
"Not yet, what's wrong, what's the matter?"
"Xia Ting and I are going to take the driver's license test this summer, do you want to come with us?"
"No need, I've finished learning to drive, and I'll be going to the exam in a few days."
"Ah, when did you learn to drive, why don't I know?"
"I don't have to tell you everything, do I?"
"Zhibai, you ......"
"You weren't like this before, you'll tell me anything."
"It feels like you've changed so much lately, I don't even know you anymore."
"Is it because I rejected your confession, I know it, I ......"
The voice on the other end of the phone was very good, and even a hint of crying could be faintly heard.
But at this time, Lin Zhibai felt inexplicably upset, so he directly interrupted.
"Is there anything else, I hung up first without me, and went to take a shower."
After that, without waiting for the other side to respond, Lin Zhibai directly put down the phone.
To be honest, he really doesn't want to have anything to do with this tsundere girl anymore.
Love or hate.
The past of the past life is like a dream.
Now that he is starting over, he wants to choose a different way of life.
And the first premise is to cherish life and stay away from Qin Ruyue.
………
………
The next few days were dull and leisurely.
During the day, Lin Zhibai shrunk at home to play games, and in the evening, he went to the basketball court to play basketball with the splendor of the sunset.
When I was tired, I ran to chat with Zhao Chanyi.
During this period, Lin Zhibai also smoothly added Zhao Chanyi's QQ.
When they have nothing to do, the two will also exchange a few words on QQ, but most of the topics are also related to Su University.

July 25th.
Ten days have passed since the end of the World Cup, and the heat of Germany's bloody match against Brazil has finally waned, and it has become the talk of people after dinner.
On this day, Lin Zhibai wore a mask and came to the sports lottery center in the provincial capital.
The process of claiming a prize is simple.
It's just that after redeeming the prize, the director of the sports lottery center led Lin Zhibai to the office.
First, tea, hookah, and wine were served, and then after a polite opening remark, the meaning was clarified.
That is, donations.
Generally, after the jackpot is claimed, the staff of the lottery center will ask them for the intention of donating.
Of course, this is voluntary and not mandatory.
If it was before, Lin Zhibai would naturally have no interest in donating.
But now he's thinking a lot.
Even if you can encounter something like rebirth that is beyond the scope of science, it is still necessary to accumulate more virtues.
Even if only a tiny fraction of the money ends up in the hands of those who need it.
………
Twenty minutes later, Lin Zhibai was respectfully sent out of the sports lottery center by the director.
After deducting the tax of 20.8 million and subtracting the donation of 200,000, the remaining 20.6 million is left.
The freedom of wealth did not make Lin Zhibai very excited.
After a brief period of excitement, his life returned to its original state.
Games, basketball, and so on.
On the second day of the first month of August, Lin Zhibai finally got his driver's license.
………
Following.
It was raining lightly outside the window.
When he woke up from his sleep, Lin Zhibai took the mobile phone on the bedside table, and what caught his eye was a message from Liu Ping.
[Dude, my mother and I went to my uncle's house in another province. 】
[It is estimated that I will come back before the start of school, and then we will get together again. 】
After Lin Zhibai went back to the road and paid attention to safety, he sat on the bed and fell into deep thought.
Liu Ping left Xicheng.
It's time for you to leave.
There are no more people in the city who are worried about themselves, so it is better to leave for Suzhou earlier and familiarize yourself with the environment in advance.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhibai didn't hesitate, got up and began to pack his luggage.
Half an hour later, Lin Zhibai stood in the living room with his suitcase.
He looked around and looked at the place where he had lived for more than ten years, with a hint of trance in his eyes.
Then he looked at his parents and said softly.
"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving."
"I'll see you in a while."
………
The rain fell from the sky like cow's hair.
It doesn't reduce the coolness and even dilutes the scorching heat.
Lin Zhibai, who walked out of the house and was about to go directly to the train station, didn't know what he thought of, and turned around and walked towards the basketball court.
Rainy day.
The slender figure was still working the construction site in the rain.
Lin Zhibai stood not far away and looked at her quietly.
It wasn't until Zhao Chanyi finished a stack of work and raised his head to rest that he met Lin Zhibai's gaze.
She looked at Lin Zhibai, who was standing in the rain with an umbrella and was silent, with a somewhat puzzled expression.
Lin Zhibai didn't step forward, but just waved his hand at her from afar and shouted loudly.
"Classmate Zhao Chanyi, I'm going to Suzhou."
Hearing this, Zhao Chanyi was stunned for a moment, and then a light smile appeared on her pretty face covered with rain.
"Then I wish you a nice trip."
"Well, you should also pay more attention to rest and don't get too tired."
Lin Zhibai responded loudly.
"Okay."
"See you then?"
"See you later."
———
It is necessary to say goodbye in person.
Because this girl is one of Lin Zhibai's few friends at present.
Yes, friend.
He cherished the word.
