Having dinner together after the game, Xu Tingsheng got drunk. This was the second time he got drunk after his rebirth. The first time because he was by Dad Xu's side, he unconsciously forgot his fear and got drunk in a daze.
Afterwards, he was actually very worried for a few days, and he was relieved only after he found that Dad Xu was fine.
This time his drunkenness has nothing to do with the people around him, or these people can't bring him that sense of security, but he is still drunk, he is drinking with his youth, cheers.
This ball kicked his mind back to his boyhood.
Before, he regained his youthful body, but Xu Tingsheng still lives with a 31-year-old mentality, with fear, even if he is reborn, he still has fear, that is the mentality of a loser, because he was originally a complete failure Or, a coward who has failed so much that he can only helplessly let go of love.
After being reborn, he may be able to handle small things as lightly as possible, but every time he thinks about the way forward, Xu Tingsheng is still extremely unconfident, he doesn't know where he will go.
With a slight push of the arch of the foot on the court, the youthful spirit of the past coincided with the reborn body.
At least some of the time, he wants to make himself completely like a teenager, like living in youth.
In the stories of rebirth he had read in his previous life, people were always full of defenses, always desperate to climb, even unscrupulous, always thinking of keeping everything in their hands, what belonged to him, what did not belong to him, take them all.
Xu Tingsheng didn't want so much, his family, Xiang Ning, friends, and himself, he wanted to live his life to the fullest, this is what he understood as living up to this life.
Fu Cheng was also drunk, so he staggered and left alone. He said he was going to find Fang Yunyao and finish what he hadn't finished yelling.
Xu Tingsheng shook his head and said, I don't believe you dare to go.
Fu Cheng said, "Then I'll find a corner and call."
Not long after Fu Cheng left, Xu Tingsheng also left first. He wandered around the campus, humming the "rogue tune" he composed when he was young and mischievous in his previous life:
"Girl, you are so fucking beautiful, it makes my heart fluster..."
The school girls passing by greeted each other warmly, and Xu Tingsheng responded even more enthusiastically until the little girl was scared away.
Walking out of the school, Xu Tingsheng unexpectedly met a person, Apple.
Ask yourself, Apple is the least respected among the girls that Xu Tingsheng has collided with after his rebirth. Xu Tingsheng carefully took care of the emotions and feelings of many people, but he did not treat Apple.
To give a simple example, Apple told Xu Tingsheng his mobile phone number early on, and after Xu Tingsheng bought the mobile phone, he sent a group message to tell many people his mobile phone number, but there was no Apple.
But she was not wrong.
Apple also came to watch the game today, and Xu Tingsheng saw her.
"Xu Tingsheng, are you...drunk?" Apple said.
"Yes, a little bit. Why are you here so late?" Xu Tingsheng said as he tried his best to stay awake.
"Wait for you, I want to tell you, I'm going back to Shenghai City tomorrow, and my mother is over there." Apple said.
"Is your home in Shenghai? It's very good there."
"No, it's not that the family is over there, it's just that my mother is there, and it's not good at all."
Apple's parents divorced, and her mother worked in a municipality known as one of the two most prosperous cities and one of the two college entrance examination paradises. Apple lived and studied with her mother there, but she was not qualified to take the college entrance examination there.
She has lived there for nearly ten years, but she is still an outsider. She is a countryman in the eyes of her classmates, and a non-staff student who has nothing to do with the rate of admission to higher education in the eyes of her teachers. Her studies are not good, and her family is not rich. … If she wants to gain respect, or even just friends, she can only get it through her own wrist and scheming.
Perhaps, this is the cause of her character. She has to think rationally all the time, calculate gains and losses, and use this as a standard to measure everything and put it into action.
Before Xu Tingsheng could speak, Apple continued: "Walk with me?"
She is different today from the past, she has no seductive eyes, no strange panting, no overt or secret teasing, when Xu Tingsheng looked at her, she was like the most ordinary little girl.
So Xu Tingsheng said, "Okay."
The two walked along the street, and unknowingly came to Jiangbin Road. This is a very suitable place for a date, with the sound of water, wind, dim street lights and shadowy couples.
The two found a stone bench and sat down by the river.
The long hair was blown by the wind, and Apple straightened the messy hair on the forehead.
She said, "I'm so hungry. Actually, I didn't have dinner. I've been waiting for you there."
She added: "Xu Tingsheng, even though I know there will be no results, even though I know that you may look down on me, I still want to tell you that I seem, not seem, that I like you. Today you hold a 'heart' from the stand I ran down below, and I coaxed myself to say, it’s for me... you know? I’m very good at lying to myself, and I’ve been like this since I was a child.”
Xu Tingsheng stood up and said, "Actually, maybe it's not that I like it, maybe it's just that you are too eager to be protected, maybe it's just that you want someone who can make you not have to face and fight for everything on your own, and you don't have to be careful all the time..."
Xu Tingsheng said a few "possibles" in succession, and then continued: "It just so happens that during the period you saw, I was very strong in certain things, which made you feel this way... In fact, For a time, if I were to face other things, I might be an incompetent coward, a complete loser... Do you believe it?"
After speaking, Xu Tingsheng walked back.
Apple said: "Are you leaving?"
Xu Tingsheng smiled: "I'll go buy you food, treat it as... just treat it as a thank you and return to the beautiful woman."
When Xu Tingsheng came back from shopping, the Apple devoured it without any image in front of him. This Apple really didn't look like Apple at all.
There were still a few cans of beer in the bag that Xu Tingsheng brought back. Apple opened a can and handed it to Xu Tingsheng, then opened a can himself, held it up and touched Xu Tingsheng, and said, "Cheers, thank you."
The two were drinking and chatting, Apple got drunk, and she got drunk faster than Xu Tingsheng who was already drunk.
She leaned on Xu Tingsheng's shoulder and said, "It seems to be worth it."
"What?"
"It's not in vain to seduce you. With this kind of treatment, Yao Jing doesn't even have it? The school girl doesn't either, so it seems to be worth it."
Xu Tingsheng realized this all of a sudden, indeed, Yao Jing did not, and neither did Wu Yuewei, so why did he suddenly treat Apple who had the most disrespect before him, why did he suddenly want to give her a little care and warmth, as well as respect and care
Maybe, because she, like herself, is living in a state of struggle and fear.
Xu Tingsheng said: "Not really... Is there any other request? Tell me quickly, you should go home, and you have to go to Shenghai City by car tomorrow."
Apple pursed her lips and thought for a while, stood up, staggered onto the stone bench, and opened her arms against the wind, she said, "Carry me to a brightly lit place."
Carry me to a brightly lit place. Everyone has had a dark time, a time when there is no one to reach out when you are alone, at that time, you want someone to carry you to a place with bright lights.
Xu Tingsheng walked back to the street with Apple on his back, and then Apple came down and walked by herself. She was jumping and jumping, like a silly little girl who only had happiness but no worries and fears.
Apple walked around a bend, in a circle... She hoped that this road could be longer, and longer, because she was rarely so at ease and happy.
However, the two finally reached the alley of Apple's house.
"I'm not going home," Apple said in a rascally tone, before turning to walk down the street.
Xu Tingsheng held her back and said, "I'll watch you go up."
"Hey, bad guy." Apple sighed, frowned and said, "I really want to seduce you again... There is really no one at home, I'm so scared, I'm really... leaving tomorrow."
It turns out that changing "I" to "others" will have a completely different tone effect.
With a wry smile, Xu Tingsheng took out his mobile phone and dialed Apple's number, and said as calmly as possible: "Save it, we will be friends in the future, let me know if there is anything I can help."
"Talk what you say."
"keep your word."
Xu Tingsheng was on the way home, his phone vibrated, he picked it up and looked.
Apple said: It just occurred to me that I really need your help with something.
Xu Tingsheng replied: Tell me.
Apple said: Help me solve my physical problems... um... I'm alone, and I just drank alcohol... I'm so lonely, I really miss it.
Apple said: My house number is 402, waiting for you.
Apple said: Hurry up... um... it's a pain.
…
Xu Tingsheng was in so much pain, a monster, after all, he was still a monster, so he couldn't be provoked.
