Undoubtedly, Wen Liang was the first colorful character after He Tianran traveled to this world, which made his reaction a lot calmer when he saw Boss Park later.
The style of the guitar store has not changed from that of 13 years ago, except that the original store has been expanded to the next door, and the walls of the two stores have been opened, making the store area much larger.
Fatty Park was still the same as before, sitting behind the counter bored. There was a little boy sitting next to him, watching him play games intently. When he heard a customer walking into the store, the child tugged on his sleeve first. The shop owner just raised his head.
The two looked at each other, and He Tianran saw hesitation in the other person's expression. He seemed to look familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
And He Tianran looked at him with a little emotion.
This otaku elder brother who was originally thirty-one or twelve years old and whom he regarded as a "comrade" should be in his forties now.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell a fat man’s age, and running a guitar store is really not a lot of work, so Boss Park made He Tianran feel fatter and had a few more neck lines on his neck. , almost no changes.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that this Boss Park also has a touch of color. Although not as strong as Wen Liang, it also brings a bit of surprise to He Tianran's black and white world.
What does this color mean?
"Um...boss, do you still remember me?" He Tianran asked tentatively.
Boss Park frowned and stared at him, thinking: "Hiss... looks familiar..."
"Just... when your store first opened, there was a high school student who often came to your store and played the piano the best. Later, he stopped playing the piano and came directly to your store to play your games. The surname is He."
He Tianran reminded him with a smile, and Boss Park slapped his forehead, "He Tianran!"
He threw the game equipment in his hand that He Tianran had never seen before to the children aside, then stood up and walked out of the counter, looked at it carefully, and said:
"This...isn't right...I met you three or four years ago. Aren't you fat...and...you must be thirty, right? You are completely different now than when I last saw you. , Did you get plastic surgery after making money? And why do you seem to have grown taller? With your face now, you look like a high school student..."
Last time? Three or four years ago?
He Tianran quickly grasped the useful information in the boss's words. He woke up from his own home, and his appearance was undoubtedly that of his eighteen-year-old self. Thinking about it this way, could there be another thirty-one person in this world? What about your older self?
Extracting this shocking element from the words, He Tianran began to speak calmly:
"What? I've posted about my weight loss success in WeChat Moments, but you don't usually pay attention to me?"
When Boss Park heard this, he said with shame: "Oh, the address book is full of guests, who is going through that thing every day..." As he said, he showed a strange look in his eyes and looked up and down: "What are you doing today... …Come here in your pajamas?”
He Tianran reacted quickly, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "Ah... my girlfriend lives nearby. I had a fight with her this morning and was kicked out. Now I don't have anything with me. You... you should give me a call. I should At her hand, I coaxed her.”
After hearing this, Boss Park did not doubt that he was there. He just rolled his eyes and muttered: "It's different after plastic surgery. I also found a girlfriend..."
He took out an extremely thin and delicate mobile phone, searched for it for a while, and then made a call.
This sentence contained too much information. The boy was swallowing saliva and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He made this proposal out of curiosity, but how would he face it after the call was connected?
Is there really a future self? If so, would he suddenly be startled?
By the way, how is Ai Qing doing in this era?
At this age, they should be married, right?
But just now the boss said something like "I also found a girlfriend." Could it be that they broke up?
Thinking of this, He Tianran became even more nervous. He had put in so much effort to be with Ai Qing, and his inner story could fill the pages of a romance novel. Now it's too late to cherish her, so how can we break up?
The young man He Tianran frightened himself. After all, thirteen years could be said to be half of his life, and anything could happen.
The child next to him looked at the guest with curious eyes, and He Tianran made a face at him.
"The call went through, but no one answered."
After a while, Boss Park put down the phone in his hand and said.
"Ah...really? I guess my girlfriend is still angry. You dialed the number 185, right?"
He Tianran's eyes flickered, and he felt relieved.
"Yes, do you have another number?"
"No, I use this all the time."
In fact, he wasn't surprised that the call couldn't go through or that the number couldn't be found. What was surprising was that he didn't answer when the call went through.
I have been using the same number for thirteen years, but I didn’t expect that I felt nostalgic.
"Brother Pu, I want to discuss something with you... just... lend me some clothes to wear, and I will wash them and return them to you another day..."
He Tianran scratched his head. Fatty Park looked at him and smiled. He walked into the counter and patted the child on the back of the head:
"Go, run home and ask your mother to bring you a set of clothes and trousers. These are the small-size clothes she planned to throw away a few days ago, and bring lunch by the way."
The child reluctantly said "Oh", reluctantly got down from the seat, swung his two short legs and ran away, probably because he wanted to come back early to play games.
"Bring me a pair of shoes by the way!"
He Tianran shouted to the child's back, he turned his head and asked:
"Your son?"
Boss Park at the counter just shook out a cigarette from the cigarette case and was handing it over. After hearing this, his hand stopped in mid-air and said strangely:
"You're here for his Full Moon Wine, too. Why do you ask such nonsense? If he's not my son, could he be your son?"
He Tianran quickly took the cigarette and concealed it: "Isn't this... I haven't seen him for three or four years... This kid is really... different every year."
"That's right, this kid really has no musical talent at all. He's not like me at all. He only knows how to play games every day."
Boss Park complained, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for He Tianran.
The boy didn't know how to smoke. He just took the cigarette in a panic. This tacit understanding of behavior between men seemed extremely stiff when he did it. He even choked on the cigarette when he smoked it in his mouth.
Boss Park's eyes became more suspicious. He paused for a moment and suddenly asked, half jokingly and half seriously: "What's my name?"
He was very confused when He Tianran appeared in the store with this appearance today. Now he was even choking on his cigarette. All his behaviors were so abnormal that it was difficult not to doubt him.
"Park Ji-kun, because he plays the piano with his left hand, he is nicknamed 'Left-handed Kun'. When he tests the piano for guests, he always plays "Hotel California" to show off. His favorite guitar brand is Taylor, and his favorite game is "Ultimate". "Fantasy 7", Tifa 3D claims to have a hard drive, so of course the tool hand is also left-handed, how about it, is the password correct?"
"The smell of this password is really strong... Well, as you know, who still has 3D nowadays? They all have a full VR experience."
The middle-aged boss touched his nose, He Tianran smiled and said nothing.
The boss completely let down his guard and asked: "You are a long-time smoker, why can't you smoke now?"
"Quit it, otherwise why would I look like I'm eighteen now? Smoking accelerates aging."
He Tianran put out the cigarette in his hand. Although he didn't know when he got the craving for cigarettes, he didn't want to touch it now. Cao Aiqing told him that she didn't like the smell.
"Then it's impossible to rejuvenate and rejuvenate after quitting."
The boss named Park Zhikun sat in his seat and started the game again.
Coming to this era, He Tianran had not experienced it well. He walked into the counter and asked curiously:
"What are you playing?"
"God of War 8 was released last week."
"What? He's already the eighth generation? Is Kratos still killing gods?"
Boss Park said disdainfully: "How long have you not played games? Now I am telling the story of his son. Kratos died in the fifth generation. You have never played such an old game, right?"
"...Then will the sixth generation of "GTA" and "The Elder Scrolls" be released?"
"It came out. It came out several years ago."
"Nice, brother, let me play it later. By the way, is Yoshihiro Togashi's "Hunter" finished?"
"What are you thinking about? Togashi the old thief doesn't update more than ten chapters every year. He even finished "Boruto" and he's still playing mahjong."
"What about Jiangnan's "Dragon Clan"?"
"It sucks."
"...Gan."
About half an hour later, Boss Park's son brought some clothes. Although they were still a little too big, they were much more normal than walking around the streets in pajamas.
After noon, there were suddenly a lot more people in the mall, and the business in the guitar store also improved a lot. Seeing Boss Park busy attracting people to and delivering goods, and finally taking a breath, He Tianran asked:
"Is there any discount in the mall today? So many people came suddenly."
Boss Park wiped his sweat and pointed to the big screen outside: "There is a film crew coming to the road show this afternoon. I heard that the main creators and stars will come. It is in the cinema on the top floor. Hey, the movie is playing outside. Now Everyone who comes is probably a fan."
He Tianran looked at Wen Liang on the big screen, his heart skipped a beat, and he wondered whether he should take this opportunity to meet him.
"Oh, if a man marries a big star like Wen Liang as his wife in his lifetime, how many people will be envious of him."
Boss Park looked at Wen Liang on the big screen with fascination. Then he said to He Tianran: "Hey, I remember that you are also engaged in film and television work. Why don't you know a few celebrity friends?"
He Tianran said strangely: "Haven't you met Wen Liang? I remember you asked her to sing "Love Cycle"."
Boss Park looked at the boy as if he were a fool. He reached out to measure the temperature of his forehead to see if he had a fever. The boss yelled:
"When did this happen? You asked a goddess like Wen Liang to sing "Love Cycle" to me? I would never dare to think of such a thing in my wildest dreams, brother!"
"Just thirteen years ago, when I was in high school..."
Halfway through his words, He Tianran's words stopped abruptly.
All the weird things today made him realize that he was not simply traveling to the future world.
This is most likely another parallel world.
It's a world where that girl...still exists!
He Tianran said nothing and walked out of the guitar store with a gloomy expression.
"Hey, why did you leave mid-sentence!" Pu Zhikun shouted at his back, turned around and complained: "This guy has been so gloomy since high school, he hasn't changed at all!"
He saw his son staring in the direction where He Tianran was going, and asked, "Son, what are you looking at?"
The little boy pointed at He Tianran and said softly:
"Dad, why is that big brother's body black and white just now?"
The boss was amused by his son's childish remarks: "Black and white? That kind of black and white? The kind of giant panda?"
The son shook his head, thought for a while, and said innocently:
"It's just...ah! It's the kind of black and white where characters die in games!"
