Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Zhong Yuemin's life seemed to be arranged in an orderly manner afterwards.

Every day, he arrives at school on time and goes to class when he has classes. In his free time when he doesn't have classes, he likes to chat with Xie Min, the older sister in the office.

Xie Min is a warm and cheerful person who always brings Zhong Yuemin a lot of joy and inspiration. The content of their chat is extensive and in-depth, ranging from daily trivia in school to the philosophy of life, from work experience to the little things in life. Zhong Yuemin benefits a lot from every exchange.

However, Zhong Yuemin was not satisfied with this. When no one was in the office, he would devote himself to his favorite research project - refining the anti-aging pill.

Zhuyan Dan is a legendary elixir that is said to keep people young forever. Although it sounds incredible, Zhong Yuemin firmly believes it.

On this day, when the bored Zhong Yuemin returned to the dormitory from the office, he found that Liu Minghua, Lin Junfeng and Li Yongjun were all there. "Oh my God! I was so scared, I thought I was robbed!" Zhong Yuemin exclaimed.

Liu Minghua responded with a smile. "Zhong Laoer, what else is worth stealing in this shabby place of yours except a quilt?" Since starting to work, Liu Minghua's whole spirit and demeanor have changed. He has become more stable, but there is still a hint of helplessness in his words.

"Hey, how do you three feel after work?" Zhong Yuemin asked curiously.

Liu Minghua sighed. "Alas, every day I just serve tea, clean tables, organize documents, and occasionally help the boss write speeches. This job has nothing to do with the high-end workplace life I imagined before!"

After hearing this, Zhong Yuemin expressed his understanding and nodded, then turned his gaze to Lin Junfeng and Li Yongjun and found that their situations were roughly the same.

So Zhong Yuemin clapped his hands and suggested with a smile, "How about this, you three treat me to a meal, and I'll give you some advice!"

Liu Minghua and the other two looked at each other and laughed. They knew that although Zhong Yuemin was usually cheerful, he could always give some unique insights and suggestions at critical moments.

So they readily accepted Zhong Yuemin's invitation and decided to have dinner together to listen to his experiences and suggestions.

In a small restaurant chosen at random, four people sat around a square table of neither too big nor too small. Li Yongjun suddenly dropped the chopsticks in his hand and let out a long sigh. "Alas! My youth is gone..." His words clearly revealed some dissatisfaction with his current living conditions and a deep sense of helplessness.

Zhong Yuemin and Liu Minghua looked at each other, the corners of their mouths slightly raised at the same time, then they turned to Li Yongjun and said, "I see that you are the type of person who likes to admire yourself. However, before you do anything, you must first learn how to be a human being." His tone was a bit teasing, but more of it was a sincere reminder.

Liu Minghua also nodded in agreement, and then added, "Besides, you are too easy to offend people with your personality. Sometimes you should not be so blunt when speaking, but be a little more tactful, so that both of you can consider each other's face." His words were full of concern and well-intentioned advice for Li Yongjun.

However, Li Yongjun seemed a little unconvinced after hearing this, and even retorted with a little dissatisfaction, "Why should I care about face? I can't go against the facts!"

From Li Yongjun's answer, it can be seen that his character seems to be a bit stubborn and he holds his own firm stance on certain principled issues.

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath and explained patiently. "I'm not asking you to consider other people's face, but I hope you can let go of your own face. We often say 'go with the flow'. If you really understand the meaning of this sentence, then you should be able to solve the problem of whether you let go of your own face. Think about it, what do you usually argue about? It's nothing more than fighting for your own face and making others feel embarrassed or embarrassed. Why is it necessary to do this?"

Zhong Yuemin's words contained profound wisdom and philosophy, which made Li Yongjun fall into deep thought. He began to reflect on his past behavior and gradually realized that sometimes being too persistent in one's own position and views would involve oneself in endless disputes and entanglements.

However, if we can let go of our pride at the right time and deal with various difficulties in daily life and work with a calmer mind, we may be able to become more calm and confident in facing the challenges of the future.

Lin Junfeng also took the opportunity to echo, "Yes, Li Yongjun. We really have to learn to put aside our pride and treat life with a more tolerant and open mind. Only in this way can we get along better with others and better demonstrate our own value!"

Under the earnest persuasion of Zhong Yuemin, Liu Minghua and Lin Junfeng, Li Yongjun seemed to gradually understand some truths that he had never realized before.

Li Yongjun drank the whole glass of beer in one breath, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Is it wrong for me to want to do things well?"

Zhong Yuemin slowly put down the wine glass in his hand and responded with a serious expression, "Of course not. It is your original intention to handle things properly, which is absolutely commendable. However, as a member of society, we must be clear about one thing, that is, only when our criteria for judging our self-worth are consistent with the praise, expectations and recognition given by the outside world, can we feel the happiness and satisfaction from the heart. Many times, even if we do everything right, we are very likely to be questioned or criticized by others for various reasons. At this time, we have to learn to stay calm and don't take it too seriously."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and continued, "In fact, many things can be viewed from a different perspective, that is, respect. Regardless of whether other people's opinions are consistent with ours, we must first learn to respect their ideas! Only in this way can we stay calm when communicating and avoid unnecessary quarrels."

Liu Minghua also agreed with a smile. "Ha...ha...Zhong Laoer is right, I think so too. Yongjun, you are still too young after all, and you don't have enough experience. When you experience more in the future, you will naturally understand these principles. Now, don't take these things too seriously."

They drank until about 8:00 p.m., and shared their life experiences, thoughts, and feelings while cheering each other up and supporting each other.

Through this exchange, Li Yongjun gradually realized his own problems and found the direction for improvement. He was very grateful to Zhong Yuemin and Liu Minghua for their patient guidance and vowed to work hard to change his attitude and behavior.

In this ancient and vibrant city, Zhong Yuemin's life is like a slow-paced pastoral poem. His daily life is like a melodious song, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, harmonious and regular.

Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated through the gap in the curtains and gently caressed the sleeping Zhong Yuemin, he slowly opened his eyes, stretched, and began to greet the new day.

A cup of fragrant tea and a few yellowed ancient books were his daily morning routine. The scent of tea rose and lingered in the air, and the scent of ink from the books also spread. He was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, enjoying the tranquility and comfort that belonged only to him.

Sometimes, Zhong Yuemin would take his two innocent, lively and lovely little ones, Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen, to the tree-lined paths in the park. The children's silver bell-like laughter was like clear spring water, washing away his inner fatigue. They walked hand in hand, talking about every little thing in life, and sharing their joys and sorrows with each other.

Xiao Shihua loves painting. The brush in her hand seems to be endowed with magical power, which can vividly display all things in the world on the scroll.

Xiao Haichen is full of endless curiosity about the world of science, and he often asks questions that even Zhong Yuemin finds quite difficult. However, Zhong Yuemin never tires of answering them, and uses his wisdom and enthusiasm to ignite the fire of pursuit of dreams in the children's hearts.

In short, going to school to teach students every day, reading books and studying elixirs in his spare time has become a normal part of his life.

Whenever the sun sets, he puts down what he is doing and plays with Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen, enjoying the rare and precious parent-child time.

Sometimes, Zhong Yuemin would deliberately quarrel with his wife and tease each other for fun, which added a lot of fun to the ordinary days.

If there are any worries, they are just some vague and unimportant things.

For example, when will the Earth explode? When will humans face the crisis of extinction? Such empty questions do not cause much trouble to him.

As for the more practical issues, such as daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, since he is not short of money, he does not need to worry about it. It can be said that Zhong Yuemin is really free of worries now.

Sometimes, Zhong Yuemin would think: "If there were no such tedious and boring meetings, becoming a teacher might be a very good choice!"

Whether it is a meeting organized by the department or a meeting held at the school level; or a meeting related to teaching, or even various forms of seminars, etc.... Faced with such numerous and frequent meetings, Zhong Yuemin has gradually begun to feel exhausted.

Every time he attended a meeting, Zhong Yuemin would sit there, staring at the clock.

At the same time, he silently greeted the person who was speaking several times in his heart - "Fuck you!" He muttered to himself: "How can this grandson be so talkative? He just keeps talking nonsense and never stops!"

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is New Year's Day 1984.

On the day before New Year's Day, Zhong Yuemin stood in the yard, looking at the starry sky, his heart full of anticipation. He felt that he was almost ready and it was time to start his alchemy career.

Zhong Yuemin set up an exquisite alchemy furnace in the yard. The furnace body was made of bronze and engraved with ancient runes, which seemed to tell a thousand-year-old legend.

The fire was burning brightly, reflecting Zhong Yuemin's determined face. He was concentrating on controlling the temperature, and every movement he made seemed so skillful and confident.

Zhou Xiaobai stood aside, watching Zhong Yuemin's busy figure, and couldn't help laughing. She walked to Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen and said softly, "Look, you two, what is your father doing?"

Xiao Haichen pouted mischievously, not daring to say anything. Xiao Shihua was very curious, so she ran to Zhong Yuemin, raised her little face and asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"

Zhong Yuemin looked down at Xiao Shihua, his eyes full of doting. He smiled and said, "Dad is refining a special kind of 'candy beans' for your mom, but this is not an ordinary candy bean, it is a special medicine made by dad, and only adults can eat it."

"No, no! I want to eat candy beans too!" When Xiao Shihua heard that it was candy beans, she immediately pestered Zhong Yuemin. Her little face was full of desire, and she blinked at Zhong Yuemin, hoping to get his consent.

However, Zhong Yuemin shook his head firmly and explained to her patiently, "Girl, this is really not an ordinary sugar bean. Although it looks very similar to sugar beans, the ingredients and effects inside are different. You are still young and your body is still developing. Eating this may be bad for your health. So, you can only watch and eat it when you grow up, okay?"
