Chapter 801 Fate (23)
Same day
Real time AM08:45
City Q, an unfinished building, Unit 1, 313
He Lei, who still doesn't know that he has been specially recruited by a dreamy and unreachable university, is washing dishes. Because his parents have left for work early, He Lei, who has just finished the college entrance examination, has been cooking by himself during this time. of.
He Lei's craftsmanship is very simple, just like the person he is, simple to the point of being a bit rustic. Although the rice he cooks is not unpalatable, it always gives people the feeling that some of the ingredients are wasted, just like that is not bad. His handsome appearance and exceptionally strong test scores always make people feel a bit wasteful when placed on a person like him.
He himself is also very self-aware, so even though he was given the right to freely use the kitchen and the supporting budget during the holidays, he basically made some simple cooking. In terms of cost control, he was as good as Mo Tan, and in terms of results, he was far better than Ji. Xiaoge and his ilk are cheap and can't kill anyone.
After a while, after washing the dishes, He Lei simply flushed his hands, then returned to his room, sat on the game cabin and stared blankly.
From the day the exam ended, he would sit here and stare blankly for a long time every day.
However, this has nothing to do with the exam itself. The main reason is that He Lei did not dare to delay his studies during the preparation period. After all, for him now, knowledge and grades are his only reliance.
During those days when he luxuriously spent time playing games every night, He Lei never neglected his schoolwork and review during the day.
He thought the effect was pretty good. After all, in the last few weeks of the preparation period, even Zhou Si and others who usually took pleasure in bullying him had to spend more time on books instead of themselves, so life was better. Many of his review efficiency are much higher than those in the previous six months.
When the scores were evaluated after the exam, He Lei, after a simple calculation, felt that he should be admitted to a good key university.
There is no doubt that this is a very happy thing, and it is also the goal that He Lei and his parents have been hoping for all these years.
But for some reason, He Lei was far from being as happy as he imagined, whether after finishing the last subject and leaving the examination room, or after giving himself a satisfactory score.
He became empty, even hollow
It's not just because of the end of the exam, but perhaps more because of the various things that happened in another world, things that he can't forget no matter what.
He wanted to know, but he didn't want to know at all.
The girl he regarded as his salvation was not an NPC, but a player like himself, a living person. He had already seen this fact in the forum a few days ago.
After that, He Lei thought about many reasons to try to comfort himself, such as whether the other party did not take him with him as promised because of some things in reality. For example, after she finished her work and went online, she missed him who gave up looking for him. Already.
The possibility is very high, and if you add her as a friend, you will get the answer quickly.
If it was that person, if it was the person who would be gentle to everyone and whom he regarded as his salvation, he should have given a sincere and gentle reason to let himself go, right?
He Lei didn't know how many times he had thought about this, but he never put it into action.
Perhaps it was because a string that had been tight could never be reattached after it was broken, or perhaps it was because of some other reason. He Lei, who was more like a walking corpse than a human being, did nothing.
He was vaguely aware that something seemed to be awakening deep in his heart, but he never tried to spy on it. Instead, he tried his best to suppress the inexplicable emotion. Or something else. It was as if he was treating a little bit. There are bombs that will explode if not handled properly.
This unintentional act left him mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, Xiao Wenqiu was with him.
He Lei smiled, and his dull face seemed to become a little more lively, even a little handsome.
He was really glad that he could meet Wenqiu, even though the other person was just a little girl in her early ten years, even though the relationship between the two was just an ordinary online friend, even though his IQ was not low, he had realized that the little girl didn't seem to be It's simple, but He Lei is still very happy, happy that he can be Wenqiu's playmate, happy that Wenqiu has not abandoned him.
The way she held her own sleeves while bouncing around while walking, and the expression on her face that made people have no temper after teasing herself. That girl always seemed to be able to dispel the haze deep in her heart.
He Lei tried hard to behave like this, but only he knew that if the so-called haze really existed, then how could the darkness that even the sunlight could not dissolve melt away so easily like ice and snow?
At some point, He Lei had already defined the existence hidden deep in his heart as 'darkness'.
Unfortunately.
Ding ding ding~
The bell that reminded him to prepare to go out to work rang, interrupting He Lei's thoughts.
He Lei took out the old mobile phone in his pocket and took a look. The time displayed on it was AM09:00, which was still half an hour before his working time. If he went out now, he could still catch up easily.
【Let’s go.】
He Lei put aside those messy thoughts, stood up slowly, walked to the hall, changed his shoes and went out.
His outfit is also quite simple. He wears a school uniform when he goes to school on weekdays, and a T-shirt, jeans and sneakers on his days off. The watch on his hand was a gift from his parents after the exam, although it does not have the function of a little genius's phone watch. It’s complete, and the price isn’t much more expensive, but after all, it’s a model just released by Bai’s Group this year, and it’s quite good in terms of styling and performance.
"The Bai Group?"
After locking the door, He Lei looked at the beautifully crafted [Morning Light-Light·III] on his wrist, sighed in a low voice, then went downstairs and got on his little tram to ride to a large shopping mall not far away. It is also the property of the Bai Group.
He Lei's parents both work in the Bai Group. Although they are only employees of a small-scale industry and their monthly salary is not very high, they still have a very strong sense of belonging to the group. After all, they have the same resume. Next, if they work in other companies, their salary will be reduced by at least one-third, and the year-end benefits are not as worth looking forward to when working in Bai Group.
The two people's dream has always been that He Lei can go to a good university. After graduation, he can use their weak connections at the group's grassroots level to enter a small and medium-sized enterprise under the group. If he can become a middle-level or something like that, even if It's the level of smoke coming out of ancestral graves. If you don't say anything else, it's not a big problem to at least save a car and a house. It's easier to find a wife if you have a good job.
He Lei has no objection to this, because Bai's Group is indeed a very ideal company, so it has been very cooperative with his parents' plans over the years, including now.
[It would be great if I could enter █Eastern University of Science and Technology in City S. The headquarters of the Bai Group seems to be there! ! ! 】
While He Lei was thinking about something, he was distracted while riding his bicycle, and almost hit a car at the intersection in front of the shopping mall.
A sports car.
A sports car that even if he successfully enters East Polytechnic University and becomes an executive in a medium-sized company under the Bai Group after graduation, he will not be able to afford it after decades of hard work!
Although He Lei adjusted the direction in time and did not really hit the sports car that even Idong could only drool over and longed to touch the wheels, he was still almost broken into a cold sweat by being frightened.
Then he was really shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
Because the car door is open.
A woman, or rather a girl, walked out of it.
A girl wearing a white suit and skirt, with short hair and a calm temperament.
She is very beautiful, especially her classically beautiful soft lines and delicate facial features, which make her look like a person stepping out of a painting.
He Lei, who was frightened and amazed one after another, looked at the other party blankly, and apologized in a panic as soon as he reacted: "I'm sorry, it's not my fault."
"It's okay, I didn't mind, and you didn't scratch the car."
The girl, who was estimated to be between eighteen and twenty years old, smiled, interrupted He Lei with her slightly nasal, low and soft voice, and asked softly: "You are not hurt, are you? I Look, you almost fell down just now."
He Lei quickly shook his head and said repeatedly: "I'm fine, I'm fine, it's nothing serious."
Not to mention that he was fine, even if he really scratched his skin or something, he didn't dare to blackmail this little girl who looked pretty fair and sweet, but definitely not stupid.
She is smart, absolutely smart!
Although there is no evidence, He Lei feels this way and firmly believes in his conclusion.
"Is it nothing serious? That's fine."
The girl nodded, then glanced at the very affordable [Morning Light-Light·III] on He Lei's wrist, and said with a smile: "The watch is very beautiful."
The latter was stunned for a moment, then smiled coquettishly: "My parents bought me a birthday gift."
"Your parents must love you very much."
The girl, who could tell He Lei's family income from his dress with just a few glances, nodded slightly and said calmly: "Cherish this watch."
"ah?"
He Lei made an embarrassing sound and seemed a little confused.
"Because it's going to be out of print soon."
The girl blinked at He Lei, then returned to the car and left.
"Out of print?"
He Lei, on the other hand, looked down blankly at this new watch, which had just been released for more than half a year, and stayed where he was, confused.
In the car, Bai Fujin's cell phone kept flashing. This was the seventy-first call she had received today.
A few seconds later, it became the seventy-first missed call.
"Miss~"
The long-haired girl in the driver's seat burst out laughing. Looking at the girl in the rearview mirror who was looking out the window, she chuckled and said, "Is this really appropriate? Mr. Xi is probably going to die of anxiety now."
Even so, her tone was full of gloating, and she didn't mean to worry about that 'Mr. Xi' at all.
"People will be scared to death, but they won't be rushed to death."
Bai Fujin raised the corners of his mouth slightly and winked at A Qing in the rearview mirror: "Drive well."
Ah Qing curled her lips in dissatisfaction and muttered: "It was obviously that stupid student who suddenly rushed over just now, but I didn't even move!"
"I don't blame you either."
Bai Fujin responded casually and continued to look out the window absently.
"But Miss, why did you go down just now?"
Ah Qing wrinkled her nose and said in confusion: "And I even chatted with that silly boy several times."
"Haha, I have to find someone to share my joy."
"I'm not a human being!"
"Forget it, but the joy is too great, it would be better if more people share it."
"Hey! Miss, you are so evil!"
Ah Qing made a face, but it wasn't scary at all.
"How could it be? In the final analysis, I am just trying to fight for the interests of the family. Otherwise, if my dear brother does more stupid things, the group will definitely be hit hard once he is discovered. After all, he is a serious heir. The public opinion storm alone is enough for us, the Bai family, to drink a pot of water."
Bai Fujin narrowed his eyes lazily, casually unbuttoned the top button of the collar, and said leisurely: "So instead of waiting until the situation develops to that extent, it is better to let him suffer a little bit."
"Take some pain?!"
Ah Qing widened her eyes exaggeratedly and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "If I remember correctly, Miss, your criminal records are enough to keep Mr. Xi in jail for thirty years."
Bai Fujin shook his head and corrected him calmly: "Twenty-seven years and three months, the company will hire the best lawyer to defend him, so it shouldn't be as long as thirty years, but after all, my brother's plot is relatively bad. , so the possibility of being imprisoned in 'that place' is quite high."
Ah Qing's little face suddenly turned pale: "Does that place refer to..."
"Well, it's the place you thought of. I think it's quite suitable for him."
Bai Fujin closed the car window and raised his eyebrows: "Also, what you just said were 'my criminal record', right? No, that's brother Fuxi's criminal record and has nothing to do with me."
Ah Qing stuck out her tongue and couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with you at all. After all, the person who cut off all relationships and channels on his own initiative is Mr. Xi, and the person who completely excludes you from those things is also Mr. Xi." Anyway, even if you want to get involved, you can’t.”
"yes."
Bai Fujin closed his eyes and said with some regret: "I have to say, Brother Fuxi is really good to me. If he had not been so anxious to break off the relationship with me, I would probably be as desperate as him now."
A-Qing turned around and looked at her lady with a half-smile: "Are you serious?"
"Of course, I've always been serious."
Bai Fujin nodded solemnly, and after a while he added lightly: "If I want to report myself for playing on a whim."
"You are so mean!"
"Well, I don't deny this. Huh? Why did you stop?"
"Miss, there's a traffic jam."
"police car?"
"Um."
"Pour me a drink."
"Yes, miss."
"Cheers to their efficiency~"
"Cheers~"
