Chapter 1 If life were just like the first time we met
"Isn't it just that you failed to express your love? Look at you, you are such a coward. If you don't know better, you would think that someone has cut you down."
Zhang Mingyang's vision was a little blurry. The scorching midday sun was shining down on him through the car window, and he could hear the sound of the car engine and the whisper of a young man.
"And people have already said, 'Give you a chance to pursue her.' Our No. 1 Middle School and Xu Duanran have confessed so much. Which one can win such an honor? Just be satisfied."
Opening his eyes, Zhang Mingyang found himself sitting in a taxi. He clearly remembered last night on Christmas Eve, when he and Party A were drinking in the karaoke bar, saying that the project was all dependent on Mr. Chen's support.
"Singing? Sing some shitty song. I'll take you online. Let's take a couple of biochemicals and forget everything else to make you happy."
Only then did Zhang Mingyang see clearly the person sitting next to him. The person speaking was a man with yellow hair and a fierce expression. He looked somewhat similar to the pheasant in "Young and Dangerous".
"Damn it, when did that bitch Yang Jingshuo want a son behind my back? He's already so old. Boy, is your father Yang Jingshuo? What's your name?"
Like, so similar, the teenage kid in front of me looks exactly like his brother when he was in high school.
While saying this, Zhang Mingyang reached out to pinch the young man's face.
"Lao Zhang, didn't you just drink three bottles? Why are you so drunk? I am Yang Jingshuo."
"Brother Ji, he weighs more than 200 pounds now. You told me you are..."
Halfway through his words, Zhang Mingyang was stunned. In the reflection of the car window, a young man with an ancient hair style appeared in front of him.
He subconsciously reached out and touched his face, feeling a real touch on his hand.
Looking at the young man next to him again, the disgusted expression on his face gradually overlapped with the figure in his memory.
"The Internet cafe is here."
While Zhang Mingyang was in a daze, the taxi stopped in front of an Internet cafe. Before he even entered, he could hear the noise inside.
Blue Sky Internet Cafe costs RMB 2 an hour with ID, RMB 3 without, and accommodation costs RMB 10.
Later, when chicken eating became popular, Lantian Internet Cafe did not update its hardware. When Zhang Mingyang returned to his hometown, the place started selling fried dumplings.
"Brother Huang, turn on two machines for me and get two bottles of ice-cold Coke."
"You brat, you're still using me, right? Ma Liu can take it yourself!" The network administrator, known as Brother Huang, took the two people's ID cards, swiped them and turned on the machine.
Yang Jingxuan looked at Zhang Mingyang's distraught expression and thought he was struck by a broken love, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Sign up, hurry up, my Hulk is about to expire in two days, so I'll have more fun."
Yang Jingxuan skillfully turned on the computer, entered his ID card, and found CrossFire among many games.
"You go ahead and play, I have something to do."
"Coward." Yang Jingxuan cursed angrily, but he didn't say anything. Only those who are truly lovelorn understand the feeling of falling out of love.
Zhang Mingyang turned on his computer and saw 2010 written on the calendar, and had to accept a cruel fact.
He was born again.
In an instant, memories came to mind.
Today is the day when he graduates from high school and has a break-up meal. He also took advantage of the wine to confess his love to the goddess Xu Duanran, whom he has known and pursued for many years.
"I don't want to fall in love yet, but I can give you a chance to chase me." This is the girl's reply.
At that time, the innocent boy truly believed the girl's words and continued his dog-licking journey.
As a result, as soon as the two of them started to get involved, they were going to study in Germany.
"Come to Germany with me or I will marry someone else!"
I don’t want that kind of thing! But I don’t want to marry someone else! I hope she can think of me all her life! After going to Germany... at least, for ten years temporarily!
Zhang Mingyang's parents only have one son.
It was impossible for him to really go to Germany, and Xu Duanran didn't stay either.
He was depressed for a long time because of this matter.
Later, he graduated and entered a large factory and became a programmer. Before being transported to the society as a talent, he led a group of brothers to work alone, and he was quite prosperous.
The name Xu Duanran was left in my memory.
How to rate?
It’s just the past of my youth.
"Lao Zhang, look, this is the girl I just met in Xuan Wu. She is no better than your Xu Duan Ran. She even told me to take a shower."
Without Zhang Mingyang to accompany him to fight zombies, Yang Jingxuan had no interest in playing by himself. He simply turned on Xuanwu to see if the girl he just met was online.
It's a pity that the other party is not online, and even the QQ avatar is gray.
Zhang Mingyang, who accepted the reality, was originally going to ask his brothers to go online to fight zombies, but when he heard that there was a girl, he still approached her very honestly.
On the screen, there is a chat record between Yang Jingshuo and a person with the online name "Afraid of Cold, Guliang".
The oldest brother: Hello [smile]
Afraid of the cold, Guliang: Hello.
The oldest brother: Where are you from?
Afraid of the cold, cold mushrooms: I won’t tell you [laughing]
The oldest brother: I’m 18, how old are you?
Afraid of cold, cold mushrooms,: older than you
Afraid of the cold: I won’t tell you anymore, I’m going to take a shower
Brother Biggest: Okay
The oldest brother: Let’s talk next time [Goodbye]
If placed ten years later, such chat records will definitely be posted on the Internet as funny pictures.
"Brother Chicken."
"How's it going? You're envious, look at when Xu Duanran told you that she was going to take a shower." Yang Jingxuan looked triumphant, completely unaware of the problem.
"One guess may not be correct. You've already chatted to death."
"Nonsense, didn't you notice that people have already reported me to take a bath?"
Zhang Mingyang rolled his eyes at Yang Jingshuo, can we stop staring at the shower? What's the difference between a girl telling you to take a shower online and directly saying "get out"?
Before he could properly educate the ignorant boy next to him, the gray profile picture lit up.
Yang Jingxuan's already vicious face immediately revealed a scary smile.
After typing on the keyboard, it says: What are you doing?
"Stop!" Yang Jingxuan quickly stopped his brother's suicidal behavior. "Give it to me and I will help you talk while you watch."
Before Yang Jingxuan could react, Zhang Mingyang snatched the keyboard away.
The oldest brother: Why do you want to harm me?
Afraid of the cold, mushroom cold,: Huh? How did I harm you?
The oldest brother: I love you so much
First of all, we need to find an opening line that can arouse the interest of girls. In 2010, girls had not yet been baptized by the baptism of earthy love words, so Zhang Mingyang just filled in a casual love story.
Of course, this step will be a little more complicated in the future.
Afraid of the cold, cold mushrooms: [cover your mouth and laugh]
The oldest brother: But Sagittarius girls are very cool, you will definitely not like me that easily.
Afraid of the cold, cool mushrooms: Do you still know the zodiac signs? There are very few boys who know the zodiac signs.
The oldest brother: I am the Aries that is most compatible with you. We both love adventure and fun.
...
Yang Jingxuan was stunned.
This time, she didn't chat for a few more minutes before saying she was going to take a shower.
"Lao Zhang, when did you type so fast?"
Zhang Mingyang patted Yang Jingshuo's shoulder and said humbly: "I practiced in the computer class."
What a joke, when you and I are playing pianist on Summoner's Rift in the future, we will both be able to type so fast.
"Lao Yang, she said that as long as you fall in love, you can skip her."
Hearing Zhang Mingyang's words, Yang Jingxuan's hands couldn't help but tremble. He had been playing dazzling dance for a while, but he still didn't have a partner.
"Don't worry, leave it to me and let her take charge. I promise to torture her."
After sending the last sentence, Zhang Mingyang returned the keyboard to Yang Jingshuo.
When he saw Yang Jingxuan's pair of big black wings on the screen, he felt a little funny for a moment.
After all, online dating is still a process of confiding information to each other, displaying and attracting each other. Without those big wings, no matter how good he is at talking, it will be difficult to succeed.
When the brother next to him put on his headphones and started typing on the keyboard, Zhang Mingyang also logged in to his own QQ account. The number was eight digits and had not been changed in more than ten years.
Opening the freshman group of the University of Technology and finding the QQ number imprinted deep in his memory, Zhang Mingyang sent a friend application.
"You are so good-looking, you are a good friend at first glance."
This was the first sentence he sent to Xia Xingruo that year.
Chapter completed!
