Warm reminder: The extra content has nothing to do with the main text!
————————————————————
When Su Chengyi was woken up by the alarm on his cell phone, he felt a familiar headache.
But I can’t say it’s familiar. If I had to describe it, it feels a bit like glass shards drilling through my head.
He frowned and grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table next to him, and opened his eyes with difficulty.
The screen lock actually unlocked automatically.
Su Chengyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly lost all sleep.
What night is it today? Why did his iPhone 5s become 14 Pro?
The light-proof curtains in the room were tightly drawn. If it weren't for the time on the phone, it would be impossible to tell day and night.
Su Chengyi stood up, stepped on the carpet to the window, and opened the curtains.
The dazzling morning sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire room.
Su Chengyi looked at the busy traffic and high-rise buildings outside and took a deep breath.
Yes, this is the Magic City of 2023.
As expected, he was reborn again.
Pouring himself a glass of water, Su Chengyi sat on the floor of the living room and thought about life.
This is the house he bought in Shanghai, with a large flat floor of more than 200 square meters.
In fact, he can fit his own things in a small room of 20 square meters. The two-bedroom apartment in Tang'an City is more than enough for him.
I don’t know why he, a lonely man, wanted to buy such a big room in a magical city where land was so expensive.
It only adds to the loneliness.
"Jingle, clank."
My mind was still a little dazed when my cell phone rang, and there was a call coming in.
Su Chengyi glanced at the screen. The caller ID read: Mr. Lei.
The harsh old man with a haircut that looked like a brush.
As soon as he pressed the answer button, his high-pitched voice came out loudly.
"Su Chengyi!!! What's the matter with you? I said I have an important meeting at eight o'clock today, where are you?"
Su Chengyi took the phone farther away and glanced at the electronic clock in the living room.
Eight:05.
“I don’t want to go to work today.”
At first, Su Chengyi was a little doubtful whether she was dreaming about going back to the age of seventeen.
But the moment the words came out of his mouth uncontrollably, he was sure that he must have been reborn.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so disgusted with being a social animal.
“What do you mean??”
Mr. Lei’s voice over there became even more angry, and he seemed to have smashed the folder.
"Mr. Lei, if I remember correctly, I worked overtime for seventeen consecutive days in order to achieve the results to be reported at this meeting. No weekends, no breaks."
On the other side There was silence. Su Chengyi took a sip of water and continued slowly:
"In this project, I was independently responsible for the development of three subsystems, the credit inquiry system, the personnel online reporting system, and the SMS sending and receiving management system. In addition, I also developed most modules in the enterprise personnel management system. The performance report Looking at the overall process, it has nothing to do with me, right?"
Mr. Lei coughed covertly and softened his tone.
"Ahem, Xiao Su, are you not feeling well today? Do you want to take a day off to rest? Okay, I'll talk to the personnel here."
In fact, Mr. Lei knew that Su Chengyi had always been aware of it. These are just because of his character and he doesn't care about the company.
I don’t know what’s going on today. Mr. Lei was just thinking about how much bonus he should give when a chuckle suddenly came from the receiver.
"I do need to take leave, and it will be a long leave. The resignation letter has been sent to your mailbox. Goodbye."
Then there was a "beep beep" sound of the call being hung up.
Su Chengyi closed his laptop. After sending the resignation email, he felt really relaxed. He got up and washed up.
I have seen too many seventeen-year-old faces, and now I feel a little uncomfortable seeing this face in the mirror.
The facial features don’t seem to have changed much, except that there is some stubble on the chin, and the outline is more mature. The childishness has faded, and the vitality has also faded.
After staring at his own eyes in the mirror for a long time, Su Chengyi suddenly thought of a question.
If he had no timeline for rebirth, Chen Jinzhi would know that she would still be the global superstar.
But how is Chu Qingmian doing now?
He opened WeChat on his mobile phone and found that the message list had been completely deleted. There was nothing except a news advertisement.
Searching for "Chu Qingmian" in the contact list shows that the friend cannot be found.
Su Chengyi thought for a while and then searched for "Second Class Monitor".
Sure enough, a friend popped up, clicked on the profile, and the avatar was a cat’s back.
The nickname is actually the same as before: the reflex arc reaches the moon.
Su Chengyi wanted to laugh a little and tried to open the circle of friends.
“A friend’s circle of friends will only be visible for three days.”
All right.
In this timeline, I probably have never met Chen Jinzhi, so naturally I don’t have her WeChat account.
Su Chengyi raised his eyes and looked out the window. The LED screen in the building opposite was displaying Iris's luxury advertising endorsement.
The exquisite makeup and beautiful shape, combined with her face, will only make people marvel at the uncanny workmanship of the Creator.
He suddenly thought of the text excavated by archaeologists from the ancient Romans 2,000 years ago showing off their girlfriend:
"For those who have never seen Venus, just come and meet my girlfriend."
If you change it to now, you can say:
"For those who have never seen Venus, come and meet me." Just meet Iris.”
While staring at the big screen in a daze, a message suddenly appeared on the phone.
The display came from a "collapsed group chat". Su Chengyi originally thought it was a work group, but when she clicked in, she found that it was a "senior class 2014 second class group".
Han Bing:
“@All members, friends, I’m back in China! Are you going to have a class reunion? @ monitor @ monitor @ monitor.”
Wang Hu:
< br>"? How long has it been since this group has been in the community? Why did it suddenly organize a class reunion?"
Han Bing:
"Just tell me whether you're coming or not. Are you in Tang'an?"
Wang Hu:
"Sorry, I'm not here. I'm in Shanghai now."
Zhang Fulin:
“Sorry, but I am also in Shanghai.”
Then everyone else chimed in.
"+1."
"+2."
"+10086."
Everyone has gone to the Magic City to work, right? .
She originally thought that Han Bing would give up, but unexpectedly she said nonchalantly:
"Then let's have a party in Shanghai. If it's a big deal, I'll buy a ticket right away."
Wang Hu:< br>
“Although, tomorrow is Chinese Valentine’s Day. Do we really want to have a class reunion on a day like this?”
Han Bing:
"Nonsense! If I had a boyfriend, who would do this? In view of the special circumstances, you are allowed to bring your own family members. If you have a partner, just bring them along."
"Mianmian, weren't you there some time ago? Are you on a business trip to the capital city? Can you come?"
When Han Bingai arrived for the fourth time, Chu Qingmian finally came out to answer.
Monitor: "It depends on the situation."
Han Bing: "OKOK, I know you are busy, so it would be best if you can come when the time comes. I won't blame you if I can't come, okay?"
Monitor: "Yeah."
Let's make a statement first.
Su Chengyi scrolled up for a while, found the first message about all members of Aite, and replied: "1". The group chat, which had been lively just now, was as quiet as a chicken in an instant as they were noisily saying, "Sister Mian, I'll come as soon as she comes," "The squad leader must be in place," and "Will anyone reimburse the air tickets?"
After everyone was silent for a long time, Han Bing replied cautiously:
"Is it Su Chengyi himself? Is it a relative at home who plays with his cell phone?"
As soon as she said this, everyone felt that this speculation was reasonable.
Maybe it’s a naughty kid playing with the phone, maybe his face is pressed against the screen of the phone, maybe AI is controlling the earth.
In short, it was impossible for Su Chengyi to say that he wanted to come to the class reunion.
Are you kidding? This guy has already forgotten everyone in the class, right?
No, I can’t say I forgot, I just didn’t remember it at all.
Su Chengyi sighed and pressed the voice button:
"It's me."
After a brief silence, the group chat went viral again.
“???”
"Holy shit, shit, I've witnessed history."
"Su Shen, if you are threatened by someone, just blink."
"The ticket has been purchased."
------------------- chat box.
The evening sunlight and tree shadows fell from the car window, and her expression was a little unclear in the interplay of light and shadow.
The driver carefully looked at the young Mr. Chu behind him from the rearview mirror. Just like the rumors, he was too beautiful to be a mortal, and too cold to be a mortal.
Chu Qingmian raised her eyes and looked at the rearview mirror, her eyes indifferent. The driver immediately looked away in panic.
The AirPods in her ears played back that simple one-second voice sentence countless times.
The man's voice sounded a little hoarse as he hadn't been up for long.
"It's me. It's me. It's me."
How could it be me?
Chu Qingmian didn’t hesitate anymore, she dialed a number.
"Book a ticket to return to China tonight. Well, I won't go. Just say I'm in a hurry and forget it, just say I don't want to go."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at it again He glanced at the rearview mirror and said in a calm tone:
"Go to the airport."
The driver didn't dare to raise his head, but silently adjusted the navigation.
The group chat messages were still being refreshed. Chu Qingmian typed out a line of text and deleted it repeatedly. After hesitating for a long time, she clicked the send button.
“I just asked my assistant, I will be free tomorrow. @汉冰.”
——————————————
After seeing Chu Qingmian's reply, Su Chengyi put down her phone.
Fortunately, I am free.
I wanted to attend the class reunion just because I wanted to see her.
The circle of friends has also been closed, and there is no way to know her current situation.
After thinking about it, Su Chengyi opened the computer that he had just closed and searched for the words "Chu Qingmian" in the browser.
Now, like Chu Yuanjiang back then, she has a lot of prefixes in front of her name.
But she rarely gives interviews to the media, and we can only roughly speculate that she has been working overseas in these years.
From Miss Chu to Mr. Chu.
The next night.
Su Chengyi was walking on the streets of Magic City, and then she noticed a hint of the atmosphere of the Chinese Valentine's Day.
The people walking towards me were all lovers holding hands, all holding bright red roses in their hands.
If nothing else, there should be a little girl selling flowers in front of you.
Sure enough, looking at the little girl’s bright smile, Su Chengyi took out her phone and bought one obediently.
Usually two yuan, today it’s twenty yuan.
Before going out today, he specially shaved and blew his hair. It's like going on a dating show.
It's just that everything in his wardrobe is black, white, gray, or plaid shirts.
So I wore a white shirt and trousers as usual at work. Fortunately, the pockets were deep, so I could put the rose in my pocket.
He walked to the KTV address that Han Bing said and reported the private room number. The waiter took him in.
I thought he had arrived very early, but I didn’t expect that there were already many people sitting in the private room.
The moment Su Chengyi pushed the door open and walked in, the warm atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
Everyone who has been struggling in society for several years seems to have returned to the years when they were suppressed by King Li. No one dares to speak.
Han Bing looked up from the karaoke machine, a little surprised, obviously not expecting him to actually come.
"Haha?"
Su Chengyi nodded and said hello briefly.
"Hello everyone, you can do whatever you want and don't worry about me."
After saying this, he really casually found a corner and sat down.
After this episode, the atmosphere that had been silent for a while slowly became active again.
Han Bing is singing Iris’ newly released solo single with all his heart.
What surprised Su Chengyi was that all the students present spontaneously cheered and seemed to be very familiar with the song.
“Su Shen, long time no see!”
Someone said hello, Su Chengyi turned his head, it was Wang Hu.
Compared with what he was back then, he looks like he has been enlarged in equal proportions, making him easily identifiable.
“Long time no see.”
Su Chengyi smiled, picked up the beer glass and clinked it with him.
"How have you been these past years? Hi, I really didn't expect you to come to participate! What a big surprise! Are you working in Shanghai now?"
"I was in Tenghua before."
"Hi! When I heard that you were also studying computers, I knew that you must be in such a super big company! To be honest, I even applied there despite my own ability. I didn’t even get into the interview. Is the salary really good?”
“I just resigned today.”
Wang Hu is still the same. Very talkative, he drank a large glass of beer within a few words.
Su Chengyi knew how much he drank, so he just took a few sips.
At this time, the box door was pushed open again, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Chu Qingmian walked in and smiled politely in everyone's surprised eyes.
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but she chose to sit in the seat furthest away from Su Chengyi.
The two sat in a diagonal line.
Except for the polite glance when greeting him, Chu Qingmian didn't look at him again.
Su Chengyi's eyes stayed on her without hesitation.
It turns out that Chu Qingmian was like this when he grew up.
I have become much thinner, the baby fat on my cheeks has long since disappeared, and my whole person has a cold and distant temperament.
It is almost impossible to connect her with the coquettish Chu Qingmian in her memory.
"Mianmian!"
Several girls who had a good relationship with her gathered around to say hello.
Chu Qingmian smiled appropriately and answered one by one.
“Yes, I finished my work and arrived this morning.”
“It’s okay, I’m not too tired.”
"Is this skirt? It's custom-made by Dior. If you like it, I'll give you one as well. No trouble."
".Huh? Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend."
Su Chengyi's elbow He leaned on the armrest of the sofa, still looking at her without turning his eyes.
I don’t know if it was his imagination, but when he mentioned her boyfriend, Chu Qingmian quickly raised her eyes and glared at him.
Of course Chu Qingmian noticed the guy's gaze as soon as she entered the door, but she tried very hard to ignore it.
Did Su Chengyi take the wrong medicine? ! !
Why are you always staring at others! ! !
As I write and write, I find that I can’t finish one chapter, so I still have the second half
