Rebirth of the Unworthy

What Shen Yujun said just now was just a joke, and the hot spring village on the mountainside is not his own. Since he was invited by the owner to be a guest here, how could he do such unruly things.What's more, he and Li Rongxiu were not the only ones in the hot springs. Hearing Li Ronghao's accent, I'm afraid that all the old and young men and women in the two rooms of the Li family would go there.

But it is also true that he said that he did not have swimming trunks for the hot spring.Flying back from Enolia to Wancheng, and then flying here from Wancheng, going back and forth two or three times, there is no time to go shopping.Even if it's shopping, it's too late to buy gifts for others, who would buy such nondescript things as swimming trunks.

So Li Rongxiu made another appointment with Shen Yujun to go to the mall to buy swimming trunks later, and stop by to have lunch at the newly opened Diwangju in Haizhou. I heard that after the opening of the Diwangju branch in Haizhou, it specially developed it according to the tastes of Haizhou people. Several new dishes incorporating local specialties were introduced.Naturally, Li Rongxiu, a veritable foodie, would not let go of this appetite.

As for Shen Yujun, his original intention was to be with Li Rongxiu, or let Li Rongxiu be with him, but he didn't care what the two of them were doing together.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ao Li Rongyu also said that he wanted to go shopping.A rare shopper like Li Rongyu became interested, even if the rest of the people were not interested at all, they were also aroused at this moment.

Especially the female relatives of the two rooms are the most important.

They have already started chatting about what to buy when they go shopping later.

But what else is there to buy?The new year's goods have already been prepared, and the remaining clothes and jewelry are not lacking for the women of the Li family. What's more, in a place like Haizhou, which is not small but not big, what clothes and jewelry can be better than Wancheng?Even the women in the second bedroom often fly to Wancheng to do their shopping.Now they came back to Wancheng to go shopping.

Faced with Li Rongxiu's disapproval, my sister-in-law Li Bingyue said with a smile: "You boys, how can you understand women's thoughts. For women, shopping itself is something worth looking forward to, and they don't care what they can buy."

After a pause, he continued: "Although Haizhou is not as prosperous as Wancheng, it is also a first-tier city in China. The things here also have local characteristics. You outsiders may not know it. I will guide you later and lead you to Folk Street Go shopping—there are a lot of interesting and novel gadgets, and it’s good for you to buy them as gifts for your friends and classmates.”

Li Rongxiu listened to his little aunt's words, he didn't feel much about shopping at first, but now he couldn't help thinking about what to buy for Zhao Qijun and the others.He even asked Shen Yujun, "When you go shopping later, you should also buy more local specialties, and take them back to give to your father and others. It is also your heart."

Shen Yujun nodded and didn't say much.

So everyone in the Li family began to get busy with their trips...the preparations came.

Prepare cars, prepare bodyguards, choose routes, arrange people to take care of the second grandfather who stays at home and is unable to move, and the great grandfather, father, second uncle, third uncle, younger uncle, and younger uncle who don't want to go out at all.

By the time everyone was ready and arrived at the so-called folk street, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Since it is the end of the twelfth lunar month, most people are celebrating the new year at home or on their way home.There are very few tourists in the folk street.On both sides of the long street, many shops are closed and the stalls are empty.Aunt Li took the lead and led the crowd through the street for about ten minutes, before arriving in front of a shopping mall.

It is said to be a shopping mall, but it is actually just a five-six-story antique building with white walls and blue tiles, bucket arches and cornices. The words, as well as the crowds coming and going in front of the building, really make people mistakenly think that they have crossed.

Li Rongxiu laughed out loud at once, and said, "Whose family opened this commercial building, why is the site chosen for such a wonderful building?"

How can there be a commercial building that is not located in a place with convenient transportation in the city center, but in a corner folk street, and the buildings selected are also like this... strange, old and unique.

Hearing this, Aunt Li curled her lips disapprovingly, and said, "A local tycoon. The building was only started in April last year. When the construction started, everyone was not optimistic about it. I didn't expect him to fiddle with it."

The words were filled with contempt that was hard to ignore.There is also a bit of envy that cannot be checked.You should know that the real estate company of Erfang also built several shopping malls last year, and both the site selection and the architectural design are top-notch.It's a pity that the customer flow after opening is really mediocre, even if there is no compensation, the money earned is barely in line with expectations.If it was okay before, compared with this wonderful folk building, it will disappear immediately.

Li Rongxiu shook his head, but couldn't say anything.

Li Rongyu, on the other hand, watched it a few more times with great interest, presumably to measure whether this business model could be replicated and promoted.

A group of people entered the building surrounded by bodyguards.Because it was the end of the new year, everyone was buying new year's goods, and the behavior of these twenty people visiting the mall together did not attract the attention of others.

Li Rongxiu was still thinking about the swimming trunks, so he dragged Shen Yujun to the area where swimming trunks were sold.Under the instigation of the sister-in-law of the Li family, the women were all interested in the newly opened area for folk costumes. After a few discussions, they all split up.

Li Rongyu pulled Li Rongjia, Li Ronghao, and undoubtedly chose the line of Li Rongxiu and Shen Yujun.

This made Shen Yujun purse his lips calmly, feeling unhappy in his heart.

However, Li Rongxiu was choosing swimming trunks with great interest—is it white or black, is it one-sided or Hawaiian-style?

Li Rongxiu ignored the strange prying eyes of the people around him, and gestured to Shen Yujun with a pair of swimming trunks.Shen Yujun looked at Li Rongxiu's earnest comparison, and couldn't help but teased, "Otherwise, I'll try wearing them all, which one do you think is better?"

Before saying a word, Li Rongyu looked over with icy eyes.

Shen Yujun shrugged his shoulders and shut up.

Li Rongyu stepped forward, pulled out a pair of black swimming trunks with a sinking face, and said, "I want this."

Then Li Rongjia also took away the colorful Hawaiian swimming trunks, followed by Li Ronghao also chose a pair of blue plaid for fun, and the three of them had the same ambition to keep the last two, one is a vulgar big One is red with blue stars printed on it, and the other is dark blue which is slightly darker than black.

Li Rongyu said woodenly: "In order for everyone not to get confused when changing swimming trunks, it's best not to choose one pattern."

Li Rongxiu immediately said: "Then I will choose dark blue."

After thinking about it, he said, "How about we go to another house to see?"

Li Rongyu said: "There is no time, don't you still have to choose gifts for Xin Mengmeng and the others?"

After saying this, Li Rongyu couldn't refuse and pushed the vulgar red swimming trunks to Shen Yujun.His demeanor is crisp and neat, with a hint of ruthlessness.

Shen Yujun looked up at the expressionless Li Rongyu, smiled and said to the slightly guilty Li Rongxiu, "It's okay, I like red. I'll show you how to wear it later."

Li Rongxiu nodded, thought for a while and said comfortingly: "It's okay, your skin is fair, and you must look good in red."

This time it was Li Rongyu who was darkened.

Shen Yujun was happy.I took Li Rongxiu's arm and went to Folk Street to pick out small gifts.

In fact, he wanted to pull Li Rongxiu's hand, but Li Rongyu's gaze behind him was too sharp, Shen Yujun didn't want to make trouble in front of Li Rongxiu, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

When choosing swimming trunks, Li Rongxiu pushed the big red to Shen Yujun without any brotherly love. Then, as if to make up for it, Li Rongxiu chose a suet jade cufflink the size of a soybean grain in the jade shop for him.This little cufflink is warm to the touch, shiny and moist, very cute.

It was the first time for Li Rongxiu to see suit cufflinks made of this material, and he felt that the store here was as strange as that rich landlord.The things they sell are so different.

Li Rongyu glanced at the suet jade cufflinks put away by Shen Yujun with a smile, and remained silent.Li Rongjia, who was standing beside Li Rongyu, laughed secretly.Although he felt that Li Rongyu and Li Rongyu were not the same way, but the two grew up together, so they were naturally very familiar with each other's temperament.What's more, Shen Yujun's attitude is not hidden...

Thinking of this, Li Rongjia said with a smile: "Xiuxiu, you only buy gifts for the Shen family boy, don't you care about us?"

Li Ronghao, who was following at the side, looked over and felt that the atmosphere seemed a little strange.

Li Rongxiu glanced at his second brother, shook his head and said, "I'm just choosing. The things in this store are too weird, I haven't decided what to buy yet."

While talking, I saw a bracelet on the counter, black with a touch of dark gold, like jade but not jade, like gold but not gold, with a simple and simple style.Li Rongxiu asked curiously: "What kind of material is this?"

The female clerk wearing a cheongsam has just been recruited by the boss and is not yet proficient in business.Hearing Li Rongxiu's question, she subconsciously looked down at the label, but there was nothing written on the label.The clerk could only shake his head, and said vaguely: "I don't know either. Our boss collected it from the countryside. It is said that it was passed down from his ancestors."

It's not a lie.

Unexpectedly, when Li Rongxiu heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he blurted out, "Could it be that he came out of the tomb?"

The clerk gave Li Rongxiu a strange look, thinking that the kid must have read too many tomb-robbing novels.After laughing, he said bluntly: "The origins of the things in our store are clear, customers please rest assured."

Rao said so, Li Rongxiu still felt a little offended.But Li Rongyu bent down curiously, motioned for the clerk to give him the bracelet, played with it for a while, and said: "This is gold obsidian, a very common thing."

Li Rongjia stood aside and interjected, "Brother seems to like this very much?"

Li Rongyu remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Rongxiu said, "Wrap this up for me too."

The clerk nodded, and was about to reach out to Li Rongyu when Li Rongyu casually put the gold obsidian on his right hand and said, "Don't worry about it."

Li Rongxiu chose something for Li Rongjia and Li Ronghao, and then went to a few more, and bought gifts for family members and gifts for friends and classmates respectively, and accompanied Shen Yujun, Li Rongyu and others to buy again, and then returned Go to the first floor of the building and wait to meet up with the female relatives.

I saw that the female relatives also made a lot of money, and the big and small bags were all carried by the bodyguards behind them. When they saw Li Rongxiu and others, Aunt Li laughed and asked: "You big men, shopping is slower than us. . Let me see what I bought?"

Li Rongxiu said, "Let's watch it when we get home. I'm hungry, why don't we go eat first?"

Li Rongxiu's original idea was that everyone go to the Emperor's Residence for lunch, but Mo Wanrou and Zhuang Meiru thought more thoughtfully.With such a large family, it is not impossible to go to the Emperor's Residence for dinner, but how many people are there in the family, what should they do?

If you don't take them out to go shopping, don't you have to divide the meal into two groups? It doesn't look like Chinese New Year.

The second aunt Zhao Yuan heard the words, smiled and said: "Why don't we go home and eat. Xiuxiu wants to eat the local specialties of the Emperor's Residence, so he can ask their chef to cook at home. It must be based on the relationship between our two families. Even the manager of Diwangju will not disagree."

Li Rongxiu is a foodie, as long as he can put food in his mouth, he doesn't pick where to eat it.What's more, he just didn't expect that, now that someone reminded him, he also felt that leaving his grandfather and all the elders alone to eat and drink is not authentic.

So everyone returned home with big bags and small bags.On the way, Zhuang Meiru also called Diwangju and told the chef to go to the ancestral house to cook.

Now it's the twelfth lunar month, and it's not as popular as later generations to order New Year's Eve dinners in restaurants. Every household pays attention to doing it by themselves, and has enough food and clothing.Therefore, the business of Diwangju is not very good. The employees including the manager are all waiting for the holidays on the [-]th of the new year.After receiving Zhuang Meiru's call, the manager was also happy to give such a favor, and immediately ordered the chef to take the little apprentice and various ingredients to the ancestral house.He still didn't forget to greet Zhuang Meiru with some New Year's greetings.

So when the purchasing army returned to the ancestral house, the chef of the emperor's residence had already started a fire on the stove.

Li Rongxiu took out the presents bought for the elders one by one like a treasure, and ordered the maid to put the leftovers for classmates and friends in the room.As a "migrant", Shen Yujun is also very good at coming. He has an information website under his hands, and it is only a matter of one sentence to know what the Li family likes, so the gifts he bought are very suitable for everyone. , even the second grandfather, who has been sick for many years and has a cold and lonely temper, couldn't help but praise "doing things properly and having a bright future".

Shen Yujun, who heard the praise from the elders, took advantage of the time when others were not paying attention, and smiled at Li Rongxiu. The smile was soft and bright, like the slight waves of spring water, and Li Rongxiu's eyes were almost straightened.

When Shen Yujun saw this, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper. Just as he was about to whisper a few words, a cold voice sounded from behind, "It's time to eat, go wash your hands and eat."

Li Rongxiu glanced at Li Rongyu who had approached at some point, and said with a laugh: "Brother, why is there no sound when you walk, it almost scared me."

Li Rongyu looked at his silly younger brother helplessly, and said, "Aren't you hungry, hurry up and wash your hands."

Li Rongxiu nodded, and walked away quickly.Having been brothers for many years, he who is familiar with Li Rongyu's temperament and habits naturally feels that his elder brother is not very happy.He didn't want to stay and be scolded.It's just that he left on his own, completely forgetting about the cheerful Shen Yujun who was still smiling just now.

Li Rongyu looked at Shen Yujun indifferently, and said, "Our Li family should thank you for the website."

Shen Yujun still maintained a faint smile on his face, and replied: "You don't need to thank me, I gave that permission to Xiu Xiu for fun, and he didn't use it much. After all, this thing is still mine."

"Anyway, my Li family has benefited from your website, so I should accept your favor. It's just that there is a way to return favors, and our Li family will not be so few that we employ people to pay for favors."

Hearing Li Rongyu's words, Shen Yujun said happily in his heart: "I'm not as nasty as you think. I never do anything to repay favors, unlike you guys who talk about a set of etiquette and shame, and secretly Another set of unscrupulous methods.”

Li Rongyu smiled, turned around and left.Shen Yujun, who followed behind, also sneered again and again.But the moment the two walked into the hall, the expressions on their faces immediately calmed down.

Because of too much exercise during the daytime shopping, after this meal, Li Rongxiu ate two extra bowls, and immediately felt abdominal distension.It is his habit that after dinner he must go out with his elder brother for a stroll to digest food.

The back garden of the Li family's ancestral home is not as bright and tidy as Wancheng's home, and the lawns planted here are not wide-view lawns, but various low shrubs. From a distance, one can only feel black shadows undulating in the night. Against the backdrop of the lights and snow, it became more and more chilling and depressing.

Li Rongxiu immediately thought of some ghost scenes in the movie, and couldn't help shivering.Shen Yujun who followed immediately took off his down jacket and slammed it on Li Rongxiu.

This time, even Li Rongxiu, a person with a slow emotional line, noticed something was wrong.He looked at Shen Yujun who was only wearing a white shirt and a dark wool vest after taking off his down jacket, and asked with a frown, "Why did you take off your clothes and give them to me? Aren't you cold? What if you catch a cold later?"

Shen Yujun said calmly, "I'm already hot."

Looking at Li Rongxiu's suspicious face, Shen Yujun further explained: "I have been afraid of heat but not cold since I was a child. In the winter, I only wear woolen clothes and I don't feel cold. On the contrary, I love to sweat when I wear too much. When the wind blows, I feel sticky and greasy. It's chilly and even more uncomfortable."

Li Rongxiu nodded suspiciously, but it's the twelfth lunar month, and Shen Yujun wears so little, even if he himself is not cold, Li Rongxiu looks cold.Think about it.He opened his mouth and said, "When I came here, I brought back a gray woolen windbreaker. You go back and wear it before you come out. Otherwise, I will look cold."

Shen Yujun originally wanted to show his thoughtfulness and gentleness, but he didn't expect Li Rongxiu to send him back to change his clothes.Looking at Li Rongyu who was standing next to Li Rongxiu who was silent but must be gloating secretly, Shen Yujun turned back to change his clothes full of depression.

Li Rongyu glanced at Shen Yujun's back, but said nothing.Anyway, my younger brother is a person who is particularly slow in feelings, as long as no one points it out, unless Shen Yujun sends flowers to confess, otherwise Li Rongxiu will never realize his hidden dangers.

After thinking for a while, Li Rongyu thought about how to discuss with Fourth Uncle Li, and threw Shen Yujun back to Enolia country to stay away from Xiuxiu.I can't just get my fat and fat little boy taken away by a wolf with a big tail.

The next day, everyone packed their luggage and went to Wenquan Zhuangzi. Shen Yujun was about to follow Li Rongxiu into the car when he was stopped by Uncle Li.In the name of discussing things with Shen Yujun, Li Bingru dragged him into the car he was sitting in.On the road, he talked endlessly about a lot of nonsense that seemed to be pearls but was actually not nutritious.

After finally arriving at Zhuangzi, Shen Yujun Gangyang changed clothes with Li Rongxiu, and was entangled by his second brother Li Rongjia again.Li Rongjia works in film and television entertainment, and he doesn't know much about other industries. He just took Shen Yujun's arm and kept praising him for his good looks and good appearance. He asked him if he was interested in becoming an actor, or just like Li Rongxiu, from time to time Come on for a cameo.

With Shen Yujun's character, how could he be willing to be exposed to the camera when he was not even willing to receive interviews with reporters.Immediately tactfully but firmly rejected Li Rongjia's enthusiasm, when he changed into swimming trunks and went to find Li Rongxiu, he found that Li Rongxiu was soaking in a soup with Father Li and Grandpa Li, leaning on the mountain stone to eat fruit.

Seeing the hurried figure of Shen Yujun, Li Rongxiu squinted his eyes and looked up and down.Shen Yujun was of mixed race, and his skin was fairer than normal. Wearing that red swimming trunks, his skin was as white as jade, and his skin was radiant.

Li Rongxiu, who was still a little guilty because he chose dark blue swimming trunks, immediately nodded and praised: "You look good in red, and you look very white."

Pointing to Tang Quan behind the flowing water rockery, he said: "This side is full, you can go to the one behind. After I finish chatting with Grandpa, I will go over there to find you."

Li Rongxiu thought so, no matter who brought Shen Yujun, it was still his friend.Shen Yujun is only familiar with himself among so many people in the Li family. If he is with others, he may feel strange and awkward.If Father Li hadn't dragged him to chat, he wouldn't have left Shen Yujun alone.

Fortunately, there is Uncle Li in Tangquan on the other side. Although Uncle Li is a bit older, there may be a generation gap when talking with Shen Yujun.But anyway, the two are more familiar than others.Besides, although my eldest brother is paralyzed and indifferent, he is very easy to get along with, and the second brother is a good chatterbox, I believe Shen Yujun will not be awkward and lonely when he is with them.

After Shen Yujun heard this, he could only look for Uncle Li in the back full of depression.At that time, Li Rongyu and Li Rongjia who were in the same room hadn't come yet.He looked at Uncle Li who looked like he was having a long conversation, and his heart was like a mirror.

Sure enough, Uncle Li sighed slightly, and said: "I thought about it again, and I think we have to go back to Enolia after the inspection of Malati's project is over."

Shen Yujun smiled slightly, and asked slowly: "Oh, it was you who suggested me to accept Malati's project and return to China for development, so as to avoid the power confrontation of the Ariel family. Why has it changed now?"

Li Bingru also smiled back, and said calmly: "I didn't think carefully. Leaving Enolia and returning to the country to develop, of course, can avoid the conspiracy of some clansmen, but if something happens within the family, we are beyond our reach. Why don't you go back When we are on the cusp of the storm, we can respond in time when any storm hits us."

"Uncle, you don't worry too much." Shen Yujun leaned his body on the warm mountain stone soaked in spring water, and said slowly: "I am stubborn in nature, and since what I want comes into my eyes, naturally I won't let it slip away from my hands. People are like this, so is the Allie family. If I don't have a little preparation, how dare I leave easily?"

Hearing this, Li Bingru smiled lightly and said, "I also know your little preparation, but it's just doing your best. If there is really an ulterior conspiracy in the family, these means are not enough."

Shen Yujun also smiled and replied, "Uncle, have you forgotten what I am best at?"

Li Bingru thought for a while, his face slightly moved.I heard Shen Yujun laughing and saying: "To put it bluntly, I, Shen Yujun, have lived like a stinky rat in the gutter for 18 years. The stinky rat is disgusting and contemptible, and no one takes it seriously. But in terms of vitality and destructive power, compared to It is rare to see a more powerful stinky mouse."

Li Bingru listened to Shen Yujun's words, smiled and said, "Your analogy is really fresh."

"People are valuable with self-knowledge." Shen Yujun shook his head with a smile, took a glass of iced fruit drink from the main tray floating on the soup spring, and said while shaking, "So it's just right for us to stay in China now. It can relax the tension in the family. It can also facilitate my own planning. When we go back again, we won’t be as involuntary as when we came.”

After finishing speaking, Shen Yujun looked at Li Bingru and said bluntly: "As for me and Xiuxiu, you don't have to face a big enemy. Don't say that there are a group of people like you watching, even if there is no one, how can I still force him to bully me with revenge? Can't he? I am willing to treat him well, but I am not the only one around him who is willing to treat him like this. I like him, but now he doesn't like me, what are you worried about?"

"If one day he really likes me, it will be my fate and my destiny. You can't stop it even if you want to."

After gulping down the juice in the crystal cup, Shen Yujun sank lazily into the hot spring water, and said slowly, "I know you want to drive me away, but you're afraid that Xiuxiu will be unhappy if you find out. That's why I always say you big families Those who come out have a lot of eyes. It’s hard to bring up a person who doesn’t have so much heart. Someone pursues them and still worries about this and that, as if they are afraid that it will be bad for your family. How about this, I can open Pandora’s box to your Li family I will exchange the right to pursue repairs with you, no matter whether I can get my wish in the end, your Li family will make a steady profit, okay?"

When Li Bingru heard this, he pondered for a while, and said calmly, "The management authority of Pandora's Box is originally in the hands of Xiu Xiu. If we want to check any information, we can naturally ask Xiu Xiu. Your suggestion seems to be of no use."

"Don't be funny, if you really tell him everything, you won't be able to develop his character today." Shen Yujun sneered and said, "I have opened up the management authority of the website to you, so what do you want to check and deal with in the future? People, you can deal with them by yourself without repairing. Pandora’s box is the biggest bargaining chip in my hand, and I basically have nothing except this. Can you see my sincerity? Besides, it’s just an exchange of the right to pursue people. It’s not really letting He married me."

"Maybe I have worked so hard, but he still doesn't like me in the end?"
