After a simple rebirth

Fu Ying opened Bo's chat page again. He also sent a message when she was chatting with Chen Weis just now.

Bo, [Have you returned home?] [How was your test score?] [I heard from Meng Yuan that you did very well. Congratulations.] [Are you online?]

Wuqing—[Yes, I’m already at home, and I just found time to log in. ]

Bo, [You probably rarely go back to Guangdong Province, right? ]

Wuqing—[Probably. I definitely won’t go during the winter vacation, and I don’t know about the summer vacation yet.]

Thin, [like this.] [I also want to develop somewhere else, this place is not working well.]

Wuqing—[Are you going to your family? ]

Bo, [No, my friend said his place is good and the salary is high, and he has been asking me to go over there, but I haven’t decided when to go yet.]

Fu Ying suddenly thought of Bo again. He was a friend who had a high salary and kept calling him. He might be the friend who joined the pyramid scheme!

Wuqing—[Are you close to that friend? If you have a high salary, you should prioritize your family and good friends, right?]

Thin, [We are from the same village, grew up together, and have a pretty good relationship. ]

Wuqing—[You guys have been in touch? Why did you suddenly ask you to go to work? It's quite strange? ]

Fu Ying couldn't directly say that the person might have been deceived into a pyramid scheme and was trying to drag him into it, so she could only ask questions indirectly and remind him.

Thin, [Let’s keep in touch occasionally. I heard that some people from our village have also gone there to work.]

Wuqing—[Well, I heard that this kind of job with high salary, urgent need for people, and constant request for you to go there, is a big problem.]

Fu Ying was a little anxious. He would be detained for a year and would definitely suffer. Apart from the mental loss, he didn't know how much money he would lose!

Thin, [It should be fine, right? He has been working there all the time, right?]

Wuqing—[I heard that many people were deceived into joining pyramid schemes, and some were deceived into doing online fraud. They use high salaries and good friends to lure you in, and then you are detained and cannot leave, and they also ask you to cheat your relatives and friends around you.]

[I don't know if your friend is in this situation. Maybe I just heard about this a lot recently, so I think too much. But you can try to chat with him more and ask him to come over to play. If he speaks vaguely, as if he gives a standard answer, only saying that he wants a high salary and asks you to come over quickly, but it's not convenient to come over to play, and it feels like he has no personal freedom, you should be careful. ]

Thin, [It's not that serious, right? I see he is really busy at work, he said the high salary means the more you work the more you get. ]

Wuqing—[No matter how busy he is at work, he always has some personal rest time, right? He will complain about his work and colleagues after get off work, right? He will occasionally go out for a midnight snack or take a walk at night, right? Does he have these basic, normal behaviors?]

More than that, Fu Ying didn't know how to persuade him. After all, pyramid schemes had not yet been completely defined, and many people were actively or passively doing this kind of work.

But Fu Ying knew that at least he was unwilling to do this, nor did he want to bring up that memory, so she could only remind him to avoid this as much as possible.

But as I said, whether he will go in the end, and whether he will experience this kind of thing again, depends on him.

Bo, [That makes sense. I understand what you mean. I'll send him a message and call him later to see what's going on there.]

Wuqing—[Yes, you know that the content of the work is directly proportional to the salary. High salaries are either very tiring or very dangerous. The really good ones will never be told everywhere, as they have already been digested internally.]

Bo, [Our little Fu Ying is almost a philosopher now, her words are so reasonable. ]

Fu Ying...Brother, this is a bit too corny, I can’t stand it.

Seeing that he was on guard, Fu Ying ignored his words and ended the topic by sending an emoticon of a little man spinning in circles.

After resolving Bo's issue, Fu Ying was able to put her mind at ease for the time being.

She looked at the time again. It was 2011, and there were still three years left. Three years later, she needed to do one more thing. Only then would this series of problems be completely solved and the stone in her heart would finally fall to the ground.

When she was in a daze for a while, the message sounded again. Fu Ying clicked it and it turned out to be Zhang Zun.

zen【online?】

Wuqing—[Yes, you go to the Internet cafe every day? ]

Fu Ying knew that Zhang Zun had to go to a small Internet cafe to surf the Internet. She happened to be there every time Zhang Zun was there, which meant that the probability of Zhang Zun going to the Internet cafe every day was very high.

zen【I am waiting for you every day, not going to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet every day.】

Wuqing—【? I don’t understand】

Fu Ying didn't understand either of these two sentences. Waiting for her? What was he waiting for? Wasn't he always online? Then why was Zhang Zun there when she was online?

zen【You were online at this time the last two times. I guess you sneaked out too and were only free at this time.】

[I have discussed with the Internet cafe owner. I will come here every day to log in and try. If you are online, my brother and I will open two computers. If you are not online, I will log off directly to avoid wasting time. However, I will buy more things from him.]

Fu Ying looked at his answer carefully and couldn't help but shout 666 in her heart. After so many years together, she always knew that Zhang Zun was quite smart, both in terms of emotional intelligence and IQ, but she didn't expect him to be so smart now.

They chatted for the third time. The first two times were in Guangdong Province. Fu Ying had to get home before Fu Ma got off work, so she had to log off before five o'clock. Now in Yunnan Province, Fu Ma would always come back to see them at night, whether she was home for dinner or not. They didn't dare to go back too late, so they still had to leave before five o'clock. Their online time was almost the same.

Fu Ying sent him a thumbs-up emoticon to show her approval of his conclusion.

Wuqing—[Are you waiting for me for something? Or is there something you want to ask me?]

The other party was silent for a long time before sending a message.

zen【Can we have a video chat? 】

Wuqing—[No. It is not convenient for me to have video or voice chat, and I don’t want to.]

Fu Ying really didn't want to do that. Both of them looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, but Fu Ying's mood was not like that. Facing the teenager, Fu Ying couldn't help but want to persuade him maturely, like an adult hoping that her child would become Jackie Chan.

Moreover, video chats can easily give him the hint of online love. Fu Ying just wants to study hard now. If she can help him, it would be even better. If she wants to help him, she should keep it secret and only use text messages.

zen【Why?】

Wuqing—[If you have any questions, just ask. Opening the video will not provide any answers or help. You are not a talkative person, and neither am I. There is no need to make it awkward for two people to connect microphones. ]

zen【OK.】

zen【How old are you? Are you in the third year of junior high school?】

Fu Ying didn't know why the young Zhang Zun was so demanding, or was he still confused about how she knew about him?

Wuqing—[I’ll make an exception today. I can answer you about anything that is not private. But I will log in less frequently and won’t say too much in the future. ] [What you should pay attention to is not my information, but your own thoughts and future. ]

zen【How did you get my information? You knew me at the age of 30? Are you familiar with me? Are you real friends or just chatting?】

Wuqing—[My understanding of you comes from my observation of his life and his description. He and I are friends in real life and we also chat online.]

Because in their previous life, Fu Ying and Zhang Zun fell in love online, and their online love relationship went smoothly. They went from long-distance relationship to living together to preparing for marriage, and of course they experienced all kinds of ways of getting to know each other.

zen【Have you ever hung out together?】

Wuqing—[Yes, I even had dinner with your brother.]

zen【You are 15 years old now? In the third year of junior high school? Also in Haicheng?】

Wuqing—[No, I am in Yunnan Province now. I am 15 years old and in the first year of high school.]

zen【Then how come you know me, have dinner with me, and meet my brother? 】

Wuqing—[You and I are friends. To be more precise, I eat with you. Your brother always follows you, so I have also eaten with your brother.]

Zhang Zun felt that the girl opposite him seemed to be very familiar with him, and might even be his girlfriend, but it was unlikely because the age difference was too big. If he was 30 years old, he must be doing very poorly, so how could he have a girlfriend!

But, she is fifteen years old now and lives in Yunnan Province. Will she go to Yunnan Province to work in the future?

zen【Can you tell me about my family's future living situation and work location? 】

Wuqing—[Your family bought a house in the county town, where your parents live; your eldest sister became a teacher after graduation, and taught in Yangcheng, and had a son after getting married; your second sister did not get married, and lived with your parents; your brother has always been with you, and you have been working in a teahouse in your hometown. You went to work in another city for a year, and finally came back.]

zen【Then where did you eat with me? My brother follows me and will definitely not leave the province easily! 】

Wuqing—[Your hometown later became a famous tourist attraction, and many people went there to play.]

zen【When was the last time you saw me? 】

Wuqing—[At the end of May, I drank milk tea with you. ]

zen【You met my 30-year-old self at the end of May, and contacted my 17-year-old self in June. Until now, in August, you have not seen my 30-year-old self again. So, are you traveling between two bodies, or have you returned to the past?】

Zhang Zun found this idea incredible, but based on the various remarks and evidence from the girl opposite him, this fantasy actually made sense.

Wuqing—[You are very smart, it is the latter. ]

Fu Ying was sitting in front of the computer, and was also shocked by Zhang Zun's imagination. Now is not as good as when time-travel novels were everywhere. Occasionally, time-travel dramas were watched for fun, and few people thought about this aspect. I didn't expect Zhang Zun to guess the truth of the matter through a few chats.

zen【Can you still contact me when I was 30?】

Wuqing—[No, my contact with you will end until I come back. I can’t go back, and I can’t communicate with the future.]

Zhang Zun actually wanted to ask if they were boyfriend and girlfriend or just good friends, but it was presumptuous to ask. Becoming boyfriend and girlfriend with my future self did not mean that she had to be my girlfriend now. She had to be willing to do so, and she was obviously focused on her studies now, so it was not easy to disturb her.

zen【Why am I in debt? 】

Wuqing—[Your family bought a house in the county town, and your parents used up all their savings to pay the down payment. But it happened to be a special period, and your family members lost their jobs. You had to pay the mortgage and make a living, so you borrowed money online, and began your days of rolling over debts.]

Fu Ying didn't go into too much detail, for example, Zhang Zun was the only one paying the mortgage, and he also provided water and electricity for the home; most of the money for the down payment came from Zhang Zun's savings. His family had been unemployed for more than a year, and when he was out of work he was also worried about the mortgage, so he borrowed money to make up for it, and the hole was getting bigger and bigger; part of the reason was also because he was in love with her, and the two of them had to see each other often even though they were in different places, and food, accommodation and other expenses were all part of the expenses.

The reasons for these things were too complicated. Fu Ying didn't want to tell him and put pressure on him, nor did she want to relive the pain of the two of them. Let it be.

Moreover, facts are facts, and Fu Ying does not want to escape. Only by laying out the facts can she avoid repeating the same mistakes.
