Now that I'm reborn, it's not too much to be a rich, white and beautiful woman, right?

Chapter 167: Withered vines, old trees, crows, going to work and returning home

"Hey, Zhou Jiaqi, when did you become so knowledgeable?" Chen Cheng asked with a sly smile as he looked at Zhou Jiaqi who was expressing so much emotion.

"Chen Cheng, stop pretending. Have you never been in love?" Zhou Jiaqi is sometimes more outspoken than Chen Cheng. When talking about feelings, Zhou Jiaqi also expressed many emotions. After that, she also poured herself a glass of Korean soju.

"Does secret crush count as love?" Chen Cheng narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

"I think so. Besides, secret love is both sweet and painful. I love you, but it has nothing to do with you. This kind of sadness of unrequited love is really heartbreaking." Zhou Jiaqi sighed.

"Then I like whales, does that count as love?" Chen Cheng thought about how hard he had worked to stand for several hours in the sea of ​​people holding his posters and banners to cheer for him. In the end, the person he had been thinking about day and night and tried his best to see but couldn't, actually showed up at the doorstep of the boss Zeng Xiaofan's house.

"That's just star chasing, it can't be considered a secret crush." ​​Zeng Xiaofan took a sip of the liquor, accompanied by the properly cooked grilled meat and a little chili powder, which fully stimulated his taste buds.

"Boss, why? A big star like Whale also likes you. God is so unfair. He gives you all the good things!" Zhou Jiaqi bluntly expressed her jealousy towards Zeng Xiaofan.

"This is what they call everyone has their own destiny." Chen Cheng's tone paused, and he said with a hint of helplessness.

"For example, when I'm in a bad mood, I can only buy some spicy chicken feet from a roadside stall and a few bottles of beer to relieve my sorrow."

"And I can't get drunk because I have to go home to work and help sell fish!" Chen Cheng sighed. There was nothing he could do. When he was under someone's roof, he had to bow to reality.

"In comparison, you, boss, are really very happy. At least you don't have to worry about living expenses." Zhou Jiaqi picked up the glass and clinked it with Zeng Xiaofan, then drank the wine in the glass and continued to speak wistfully.

"My parents said that since I'm already in college, I should learn how to make money on my own, so they didn't give me a penny. I had no choice but to hand out flyers and look for part-time jobs or tutoring work." Zhou Jiaqi said quietly, her eyelashes drooping.

"Although I didn't earn any money this winter vacation, my work was not in vain. At least I was tired." Zhou Jiaqi lamented the difficulties of life and finally began to understand his parents.

"I didn't realize you were a pessimist." Zeng Xiaofan looked at the pessimistic Zhou Jiaqi again.

"You know, occasionally coming out to get together with you has become a ray of light in my boring winter vacation life." Zhou Jiaqi continued to complain while drinking.

"I suspect my parents have been brainwashed by capitalism. They believe that their children must be self-reliant after they turn 18. Apart from my tuition and living expenses, I have to find ways to earn the rest if I want."

"Therefore, my daily life during the winter vacation is basically like [withered vines, old trees, crows, going to work, going home]."

"Besides, the weather is cold now. Who would be willing to leave the bed in the morning? As a result, I was late by accident. I will also be deducted from my salary for being late!"

"I'm just confused. If I can eat justice, why can't I do it at work?!"

"Let me ask you, am I miserable?" Zhou Jiaqi sighed to the sky and lamented.

"Haha, your situation is not that bad. I used to help my parents kill and sell fish every day. Now that the weather is cold, my mother feels sorry for me and only asks me to sell fish."

“I smell like fish every day!”

"The boss is really amazing. At this age, she has already become a wealthy woman." Chen Cheng looked at Zeng Xiaofan enviously.

"You all only see the thief eating meat, but you don't see the thief being beaten." Zeng Xiaofan smiled and drank some liquor with the barbecue.

Zeng Xiaofan was too lazy to tell them about the hardships and difficulties he encountered in the early days of his business. Who would understand? People only care about your extraordinary achievements and your glamour. This is an era that only focuses on results, not process. Who would care about your hardships?

At this time, Zeng Xiaofan's phone was ringing frantically. When he looked at the caller ID, it was another series of life-threatening calls from his mother, Ms. Zhang.

What bothers Zeng Xiaofan most is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to communicate with his mother.

She handed her cell phone to Chen Cheng and said to him, "Please answer it and tell him I don't want to go home today. I had a fight with my mom!"

Chen Cheng had no choice but to answer the phone. He said to Ms. Zhang with a fake smile, "Auntie, this is Chen Cheng. Zeng Xiaofan is in a bad mood today. I'm asking for leave from you. She can stay at my house tonight! I'll be with her, don't worry!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Cheng said with a smile, "Okay, done."

"You're not really going to sleep at my house tonight, are you? My parents have to go out to buy supplies at 3 a.m. every day recently, so there's a lot of noise and it's hard to sleep well."

"It's okay, I'll just get a room. I really don't want to see my mother now. I can't stand her anymore." Zeng Xiaofan frowned and couldn't help complaining.

Zhou Jiaqi raised her eyebrows: "What did your aunt do to you? Please tell me your story."

"She always asked me whether I had a boyfriend or not, and even lied to me."

"Fortunately, I have been an honest person all my life, so she didn't trick me out."

"She said if I really fell in love, I should tell her and she would help me to judge."

"Then I said I really didn't talk about it, but she said, 'If you really talked about it, I promise I won't beat you to death!'"

"Tell me, what should we do with my mother who has such a strong desire for control?" Zeng Xiaofan shrugged helplessly.

"Hahahahahaha, she promises not to beat you to death." Chen Cheng also laughed.

"My mom is okay. She lets me do whatever I want and doesn't really care about me."

"My parents' motto is, 'Your life is your own, you take charge of it.' You can see how hard I work every day." After hearing that Zeng Xiaofan's mother had such a strong desire for control, Zhou Jiaqi felt lucky to have survived a calamity and sighed to herself, every family has its own problems.

At this time, Zhou Jiaqi, who had drunk several bottles of liquor, gradually felt a little tipsy, and she liked this feeling very much.

"Do you want to play Truth or Dare?" Zhou Jiaqi suggested with a blushing face.

A few girls were having a great time drinking, so they started playing rock-paper-scissors. The winner spins the bottle and asks a question, and the loser must answer the question truthfully. If she doesn't want to answer the question, she will be punished.

Zhou Jiaqi won the first round of rock-paper-scissors, and the bottle pointed to Zeng Xiaofan. Zhou Jiaqi asked the question she wanted to ask most with a sly smile on her face.

"Who was your first kiss?"

Zeng Xiaofan cleared his throat and said, "Is it okay if I don't answer?"

Chen Cheng quickly stopped him and said, "No! You must answer the first question."

Zeng Xiaofan stopped pretending at this moment: "Huang Jinyu."

"Fuck! I told you that there was something going on between you and him! And you still didn't admit it!"
