In June, the hot summer wind blew in this small town in North China.
On the green grass beside the lake in Thousand Buddha Pagoda Park, a circle of paper cranes folded with colored paper is carefully placed to form a heart shape.
Inside the heart-shaped circle,
A girl wearing a white floral dress, her small and exquisite jade feet are as delicate as glass, there are beads of sweat hanging on her nose, and her smooth jade forehead has several wrinkles formed due to anger.
"Li Yuan, thank you. It's an honor to be liked by you, but I don't want to fall in love yet."
"I have always regarded you as my biological brother. Thank you for taking care of me during the three years of high school."
"We are still best friends, aren't we?"
Li Yuan raised his head in confusion and looked at the young and beautiful girl in front of him, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, feeling a little familiar but also a little confused.
This scene seemed familiar.
White skirt, holding flowers in hands, in early summer that year.
Seeing that Li Yuan remained silent, the girl in the white dress pursed her lips, glanced at the platinum earrings among the roses, and opened her teeth slightly:
"Li Yuan, if you don't say anything, I will take it as your promise."
"Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."
"I'm leaving!"
The girl in the white dress glanced at Li Yuan who looked lost, gritted her teeth, stepped out of the heart-shaped circle, her long black shawl hair fluttering in the wind, her slender figure pulled out of her reflection, and was about to leave.
Pictures emerged in Li Yuan's mind,
In the first year of high school, when they first met in the military training, he was stunned and fell in love with her at first sight. Every time he went to school, he would silently look at her in the back seat. He felt that he had met the true love of his life...
During his sophomore year in high school, when arts and science classes were separated, he gave up his hobbies and chose to study science classes with her, just so that they would not be so far apart and be able to see her every day...
I get up at five o'clock every morning in the rental house just to make her a loving breakfast, and do my best to help her with her homework and improve her grades...
He cared for her like a flower,
For her, he rejected all ambiguities and only protected her.
And her response?
"Li Yuan, I don't want to fall in love in high school. I just want to get into a good university."
"There are many courses for freshman, and our campuses are so far apart, so you don't have to come to me every day."
"Thank you for the birthday gift you gave me. I like it very much, but I don't want you to work such a hard part-time job and make your life so tiring."
"Li Yuan, give me some more time, don't force me!"
"I'm sorry, Li Yuan. He is my boyfriend. He has delayed you for so long. If you hate me, there is nothing I can do about it."
Talk about how a high-ranking green tea man fascinated a boy with both good morals and academics and kept him in a fish pond for seven years. This is probably what he looked like.
Well, it was a previous life.
Li Yuan stared at Bai Weixi who was about to leave with complicated eyes.
The jianjia is luxuriant, and the white dew is still shining.
What a beautiful and nice name, but what it does is not human affairs.
If we talk about the misery index of dog licking, he should be ranked high in his previous life.
Unfortunately, Bai Weixi's green tea rank is higher than his.
As soon as she appeared, she shocked the whole summer, and also lost a good young man.
If he hadn't seen her get out of a BMW one day while working part-time in his senior year, holding hands with an ordinary-looking boy, he would still be an ignorant and stupid fish.
Just like the warrior who charges for love, what he reaps is bruises all over his body, which vividly explains what is: licking the dog until there is nothing left...
From then on, he drank to drown his sorrows for a long time, failed several subjects, and almost failed to get his diploma.
Today, he was reborn!
In early summer when I turned eighteen, on the third day after the college entrance examination...
Li Yuan looked at the roses and the gift in Bai Weixi's hand. They were platinum earrings he bought from Lao Fengxiang Jewelry with a month's living expenses.
A full thousand yuan.
It was 1,000 yuan in 2008.
"Bai Weixi, wait a moment."
The girl in the white dress turned around, a hint of surprise flashing through her charming eyes.
"Li Yuan, what's wrong?"
Li Yuan stared at the roses and gift box in her arms: "Give me back the gift."
After saying that, without waiting for her reaction, he reached out and grabbed the flowers and gifts.
Bai Weixi's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief, and he shouted loudly:
"Li Yuan, what do you mean?"
Li Yuan had an expressionless, cold look on his face as he stuffed the earring gift box into his pocket.
"You have already rejected me and you still want to accept my gift?"
"But, you have already given it to me!"
"I would only give it to my girlfriend."
Bai Weixi smoothed her hair, with a look of tears in her beautiful eyes: "Li Yuan, actually I still have a crush on you, but didn't we agree to wait until college to try to get along with each other. I feel for you now I don’t have that feeling of being a lover yet, so don’t force me, okay?”
That's it again!
When he confesses her love, she always has countless reasonable reasons and pretends to be pitiful. With her looks like a school beauty, who can handle it?
Li Yuan sighed in his heart. Bai Weixi's green tea level was too high. In his previous life, he couldn't control it. He was like a licking dog, and he was so ecstasy.
But now he has been struggling in society for many years, and his heart has long been sealed with cement.
Thinking of the teachings of my idol, the scumbag patriarch, "the most affectionate person in Jiangnan":
[When your emotions are swayed by a woman, don’t hesitate to delete her. 】
Li Yuan didn't even bother to say any nonsense.
In his previous life, he had been broken by so-called love. In this life again, he will be the scumbag patriarch.
He turned around and left calmly.
When Bai Weixi saw Li Yuan really leaving with an indifferent expression, she felt a little disappointed in her heart for a moment.
This was not in line with what she had in mind.
"Li Yuan, you want to play hard to get, right? Haha!" Bai Weixi smiled at the corner of his mouth.
This is not the first time she has encountered this situation.
…
Throwing the roses into the trash can, Li Yuan walked aimlessly in Thousand Buddha Pagoda Park. It was only 2008, and there were no high-rise buildings around. The time was clearly written on the building signs in the park.
June 10, 2008.
He was truly reborn.
Li Yuan only felt that his brain was in chaos.
Although he lived a useless life and had financial difficulties in his previous life, he still had a serious job.
Why was he suddenly reborn?
Are they really selected based on their appearance?
"Forget it, no matter why I am reborn, I can start my life over again. This is my biggest opportunity."
"I can make up for what I missed, what I regretted, and what I was reluctant to let go of."
Li Yuan sat on a bluestone by the lake and began to organize his thoughts, thinking about his previous life.
His grades in high school were pretty good, with a score of 603 in the college entrance examination. He went to an ordinary key university in Shanghai, but it was not a 985/211 university, and his major was not very good.
The four major tiankeng, one of the "bioengineering" of biochemical environmental materials.
During his college entrance examination, there was no Douyin or Zhang Xuefeng. His parents were just ordinary farmers, one graduated from elementary school and the other graduated from junior high school. There are no relatives, friends or dignitaries, so naturally there is no one to guide me.
When filling in my major, I believed the biology class teacher’s words: The 21st century is the century of biology.
Just walking further and further on this road of no return.
Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong profession. The major you study is a stepping stone to enter the industry. When you get to college, it’s very difficult to change your major.
Not only are the wages low, there is no room for advancement.
This is his expertise.
In order to gain a foothold in the magical city, he worked early and late, worked during the day, and worked part-time as a programmer at night. After four or five years of hard work, he went from not being able to even afford a toilet with his savings to still being unable to even afford a toilet.
Hard work is not worth the soaring housing prices.
Frustrated, he thought it would be better to resign, go back to his hometown, and take the civil service exam.
The provincial examination in the Central Plains region in 2016 was not too difficult. Even though he could only apply for three unrestricted positions, with a ratio of about 1 to 100, he successfully passed the examination after putting in a lot of effort.
However, the salary is very low, life is difficult, there is no hope of promotion, and you will grow old at a glance.
Seeing others going smoothly and getting promoted step by step, he could only become increasingly depressed and self-isolate, resulting in comments such as "autistic, never going out, never going to get into trouble"...
Is it really wrong for him not to want to develop so-called "relationships"?
Thinking of all the misfortunes in his previous life, Li Yuan understood the cause of the problem at a glance.
Describe it in one word,
No money, no power, no talent!
Money is the first priority in his heart.
Now that he is reborn, his first mission is to make money! Make money! Make money!
Say important things three times.
When it comes to love, as long as you have money, you don't know how proactive girls can be.
How to make money?
He comes from a farmer's family. When he was in the second grade of elementary school, his parents went out to work in the Northeast to start a small business.
As a child raised by his grandparents, Li Yuan had no shortage of pocket money.
His parents would always give him more money on time, so in high school, he dressed like a dog. For his poor self-esteem, a pair of basketball shoes cost two to three hundred.
In order to be a licking dog, he spent a lot of money on Bai Weixi during the three years of high school.
There are not many, but there are tens of thousands of children and eight thousand.
Li Yuan took out the gift box from his pocket and opened it. It was a beautiful platinum earring. There were bills and other items in the gift box.
"Should we be able to withdraw?" Li Yuan murmured to himself.
…
Lao Fengxiang Jewelry Store, located on Zhouyuan West Road north of Thousand Buddha Pagoda Park, is an old brand in the county. Its business has always been very good and its reputation is also good.
Li Yuan placed the gift box in front of the salesperson and said directly: "Miss, can I return this pair of earrings?"
Most of the jewelry salespeople are women in their twenties, with pretty good looks.
Hearing Li Yuan call "Miss Sister", the salesperson was a little surprised. He carefully checked the earrings and found no signs of damage or use.
Although she could return or exchange it unconditionally within seven days, she still asked:
"I just bought it yesterday, why would I want to return it today? If you don't like the style, you can still exchange it."
Li Yuan shook his head, not feeling embarrassed, and said it openly: "The confession failed, the gift was not given away, and it is no longer needed, so just return it."
The sales lady was a little surprised. She couldn't help but look at Li Yuan, who was well dressed today. He was 1.8 meters tall, had a strong, handsome and fair face, and was dressed fashionably. He was wearing a sports brand...
With this kind of appearance, you can’t even give him a gift?
She couldn't believe it.
"Little handsome boy, don't be discouraged. If you lose this tree, there is still a large forest waiting for you behind."
Li Yuan laughed: "I can't even control a tree, how can I own a large forest?"
The saleswoman was stunned.
After collecting 1,000 yuan in cash, Li Yuan left gracefully.
