Chapter 35
On the plane back to Jiang City, the two of them occasionally communicated, as if they were really broken after waking up, and neither of them mentioned what happened last night.
Xu Zhencheng slept all night wearing wet clothes, and felt a bit sore in his throat, which was a precursor to a cold.A cold is a trivial matter. If something really happened last night, I really don't know how it will end.
Xu Zhencheng said: "Xiao Faner, I will send the money directly to your bank card."
Fan Zhe'an: "Look at you, but I'm a little uncomfortable without making red envelopes."
"It's a bit too much this time, and the red envelopes may not be enough."
After getting off the plane, Fan Zhe'an returned to the Sincere Internet Cafe, and turned off the airplane mode of his phone.A text message reminded him that the bank card had been credited.
88888...
Indeed, there are enough red envelopes, but the festive red envelopes have turned into a string of cold numbers, which does not look so auspicious.
Xu Zhenzhen distributed the gifts brought back from City B to the eagerly awaited employees. Luo Qin looked at Xu Zhenxin for a while, and Fan Zhe'an for a while, as if to say, "Put candy in my mouth."
Da Zhu took out his notebook, which recorded some things that must be reported to Xu Zhenzhen, "Boss, someone called you on the landline two days ago."
Xu Zhenzhen was lowering his head to send a WeChat message to Xiang Li, and casually said, "Who is it? The debt collector still wants money?"
Da Zhu pointed to the notebook with a pen and said: "I asked, it wasn't about debt collection or asking for money, and it wasn't something important, so I didn't tell you right away. He said he was your old friend, what's his name, Oh, it's Shen Tianyi!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhencheng snapped his fingers and sent out the edited words.
Honesty: Sister Li, little Fan Erte Niu, you have earned enough money, when do you think you have time to take him home?
Xu Zhenzhen felt a little nervous, and pretended to be calm and asked: "Oh, it is indeed my old friend, did he say anything?"
"It's nothing, I heard that you are not in the Internet cafe, so I hung up." Da Zhu turned a few more pages and reported in detail what happened in the Internet cafe recently.
Xu Zhenzhen clicked on the WeChat chat list, and the name starting with A was the first.
A, Shen Tianyi, is a note typed by himself. Shen Tianyi's WeChat name is Bluesky.
The last time they chatted was when Xu Zhencheng was just in college.At that time, Xu Zhenzhen just tried to enter Shen Tianyi's phone number, but he didn't expect to find Shen Tianyi's WeChat, so he added it by mistake, and then set it so that he would not be able to see his Moments.
A Shen Tianyi: Hello, who are you?
When Shen Tianyi sent him this message a few years ago, he thought of many ways of saying "I am Xu Chengxin", "I am your ex-boyfriend", "I am your first love", which sounded very straightforward, but in the end it was just Come to think of it, nothing was answered.
A few years later, Xu Zhencheng sent a message.
Honesty: Are you looking for me?
Red exclamation mark: Bluesky user has turned on friend verification, you are not (his) friend yet, please send a friend verification request first...
Ever since Xu Zhenzhen clicked into Shen Tianyi's circle of friends and saw horizontal bars instead of various pictures of beautiful scenery, he knew that he might have been deleted as a stranger.
Although I have presupposed it, I really know it, but it is inevitable to be lost.
His feeling of loss fell into Fan Zhe'an's eyes.Fan Zhe'an thought of a bunch of jokes, but now there is no atmosphere where he can speak naturally like a few days ago, and everything he says will appear deliberate.
Fan Zhe'an walked over and said, "Boss Xu, you gave too much money."
Xu Zhengzheng straightened his expression, said with a smile: "That's not because you performed well, completed the task excellently, and helped the boss solve a serious problem."
"I don't need that much money, give me your card number, and I'll refund it to you." Fan Zhe'an put his hands in his trouser pockets, "The poor don't eat what they get."
Xu Zhenzhen gave him a nod, "Why are you so stupid, you can keep it if you ask you to keep it. You earned the money by yourself. Do whatever you like."
"Okay, then I'll spend it." Fan Zhe'an rubbed his forehead, seeming to compromise, "I want to do whatever you said."
"Go, go, just stop pornography, gambling and drugs."
On the way to the orphanage, Xu Zhencheng received a message from Xiang Li.
Xiao Fan's mother: Boss Xu, I asked He Yu to ask Fan Zhe'an.He said that he doesn't make much money now, and he relies on you every day to live.He troubled you so much, do you think I should give you some reward?
Xu Zhencheng was driving and didn't reply immediately.
When he arrived at the orphanage, the principal said to him gratefully: "Xiao Xu, thank you, we have received your donation, I know you are coming today, so I specially made a pennant."
When Fufu gave him the pennant, he was still in a daze.
The dean was uncertain: "We have received a donation of love, signed by you."
Xu Chengxin took the information handed over by the dean, it said 'Xu Chengxin, donate...' There are a lot of zeros, Xu Zhenxin counted it seriously.
Xu Zhenzhen was dumbfounded by the string of zeros. Five zeros and one one are one hundred thousand.He has donated money to the orphanage, but not recently.
The donation date was yesterday. At that time, he had just returned to Jiang City from City B. The biggest expense was to transfer money to Fan Zhe'an.Thinking of this, Xu Zhencheng sorted out the cause and effect.
"You're welcome, Dean, this amount of money is nothing to me." Xu Zhenzhen rolled up the pennant in his hand and patted Fufu's head.
To him, this amount of money is not too much, but to a classmate Fan, it is not necessarily so.
Then the dean smiled, "Xiao Xu, you have donated a lot of money to the orphanage over the years, you don't need to donate any more, and you are already very happy to see the children."
The operation of the orphanage is funded by the state, and donations from the public are icing on the cake.Xu Zhencheng understands that the children don't have to worry about food and clothing, what they lack is care and love, so they rarely donate money, but often come here to see them.
Fufu specially pulled him aside and sang a song that Xu Zhenzhen had just learned recently.
It is the little star in the children's voice version. Fufu's voice is clear and crisp, and he sings very nicely.
Xu Zhenzhen applauded: "Fufu sings really well, have you learned anything else?"
Today, Fufu wore double ponytails, and the two ponytails bounced with her, looking very lively.
"No, it's so hard to study! I'm going to elementary school soon." Fufu said distressedly, "But I still don't know how much one plus one equals."
Xu Zhenzhen took her little hand and pressed three fingers into her palm. The index finger and middle finger were short and fleshy, which was indescribably cute.
"Brother sincerely, I lied to you, I know that one plus one equals two!" Fufu put those two fingers on his cheeks, and the 'two' became 'yeah'.
Xu Zhenzhen pinched her cheek, "Okay, you, dare to lie to your brother and me, I won't play with you anymore."
Hearing this sentence, Fufu's smile faded, pouted his mouth, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Chengcheng, don't you not play with me, I was wrong... other children don't like to play with me, they say I'm a sick seedling, I can't grow taller."
Xu Zhencheng burst into anger all of a sudden, "Which brat said that, I'll help you spank his ass!"
Fufu took him by the hand and said, "No need, brother sincerely, I know it myself. But my illness is almost cured! I haven't been to the hospital for an injection for two years!"
Xu sincerely stroked Fufu's little head affectionately.It occurred to him that two years ago, his idea of going to Jiang City was to relax and he had no intention of settling down.But by chance, I came to the orphanage and met Fufu and the dean.
Some fates happen in an instant.
For a moment, he suddenly felt that Jiang City was very good. Although there were tall buildings here, there was no subway roaring underground.The population here is not large, and there are many gangsters.There is nothing special here, the only thing that can be sold is high school education.
This place is very ordinary, so ordinary that Xu Zhencheng understands what life is.
Plain and long.
Xu Zhencheng remembered that when he was in high school, he had talked with Shen Tianyi about his life ideals.Shen Tianyi wanted to be a travel photographer, but Xu Zhencheng felt that his ideal was too far away, and he had nothing in particular he wanted to do.
"Think about it, and if you get lost one day, take your ideal as the direction of your efforts."
Xu Zhenzhen said hesitantly: "I'm very smart, and I won't get lost. If I have to do something, then I love playing games so much, I will open an Internet cafe. If the business is good, I will form a chain. If the business is not good Just stay in your own little Internet cafe and dawdle."
Shen Tianyi never discouraged his naive thoughts, and there was a light of approval in his eyes, "I think it's good. You can see all kinds of people and all kinds of lives in an Internet cafe. Then what's the name of your Internet cafe?" ?”
Xu Zhencheng blurted out, "Of course my internet cafe has to be called Chengxin Internet Cafe."
Two years ago, after he decided to settle in Jiang City, the Sincere Internet Cafe was completed.Xu Zhenzhen's simple ideal has come true, and he is living the idle life he wanted.
His understanding of life is like this: enjoy yourself in time, and don't need too many lofty ambitions.
It can be vigorous, but it can also be bland, and it is best to let nature take its course.
"Brother Chengzheng, where's Brother Xiaofan?" Fufu tugged on his sleeve and asked, "Why are you here alone today?"
Xu Zhencheng glanced at his phone, remembering that he hadn't replied to Xiang Li yet, "Your Brother Fan is busy, busy making money to buy candy for you."
"Bring him to play next time, I'll sing him Little Star!"
Xu Zhencheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, brother Fan can not only sing but also play, let him perform Little Star for you." It's still a variation version.
……
Fan Zhe'an, who was engaged in education, seemed to sense something, and sneezed sideways.Zheng Zeng said with concern: "You don't seem to be feeling well today, do you have a cold?"
Fan Zhean rubbed the tip of his nose, "Fortunately, I drank two packs of cold medicine."
Xu Zhenzhen made two cups of cold medicine this morning. When they saw the two cups of steaming cold medicine, they probably thought of something at the same time, and felt awkward.
Fan Zhe'an thought of the scene where Xu Zhenzhen was holding back his stomach and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it, and thought it was very funny, so he lost his mind and laughed.
Zheng Zeng pinched the pen cap and said, "Fan Zhe'an, thank you for saving me last time."
Fan Zhe'an was startled, "You're welcome, I almost forgot."
"The study plan you made for me is very helpful to me," Zheng Zeng lowered his head, not daring to look at Fan Zhe'an, "I have something to ask you."
Fan Zhe'an seemed to have heard the sound of the combination lock being pressed, and said casually: "You are welcome, little squad leader, just ask if you have any questions."
"You, you, you," Zheng Zeng's face was like a boiled red shrimp, "do you like men?"
This sudden question hit Fan Zhe'an's face, and he immediately sat up straight, bit by bit his lazy expression, and looked at the weird Zheng Zeng with a look of confusion.
Zheng Zeng blushed even more, and made up his mind: "You, you, you...you, can you be my boyfriend?"
Xu Zhencheng just walked into the entrance, unfortunately, he heard Zheng Zeng's flustered confession word by word.Fan Zhe'an turned his back to him, and he couldn't see Fan Zhe'an's expression.
But Fan Zhe'an had eyes behind him, and when he heard Xu Zhenzhen's footsteps, he looked back at him.
This scene is even more embarrassing than drinking cold medicine together in the morning.
