The price of rebirth

Liang Kui's parents absolutely disagreed with the two of them traveling to Yunnan at this time. Liang Kui calculated this and waited until he checked into a hotel in Kunming before telling his parents.Although it was unavoidable to be scolded severely, he still generously sent money to Liang Kuikali.

"Su Yan, we spent a lot of time visiting Kunming, Lijiang, Yuxi, and Dali. Do you have any specific arrangements?"

Su Yan squatted down to change his shoes, and frowned when he heard that, traveling was second, and buying jade was the goal.For a good piece of jade, tens of 10 yuan is not enough to look at. He has limited savings, so it may take a lot of time to buy a piece of jade that is the most satisfying and affordable.

"Let's go around Kunming first and eat local snacks. Tomorrow we will go to Tengchong."

"Okay! Let's go, go eat now, often the local bridge rice noodles."

Neither of them asked for a tour guide. It was their first time in Yunnan, and they were very unfamiliar. They had to ask and check what they wanted to eat. The two ate leisurely all the way, and went to the jade market in Tengchong the next day.

Su Yan has no research on jade and has never carried jade in his life. He walked on the street and looked at everything around him in a daze.Liang Kui admired the interesting things along the road purely in a playful mood, and stopped from time to time to watch others buy wool and bet on stones.But he just watched, not played.

Su Yan deliberately dropped out of the team, and whispered anxiously: "Quickly tell me, where do you want to buy jade?"

"Jie Jie Jie, this is the best jade market? I really don't want much. Go back 100 meters to the one on the right, go in and have a look."

Su Yan stared blankly at the stones piled up in the shop, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and finally stared at one of the few emeralds in the shop.

"This piece of jade is like a lump of dirt, and it costs 50 yuan. Can you find a cheaper one?" Su Yan said silently.

"Jie Jie, you just can't bear the money."

"Let me tell you, I only brought 30." Su Yan snorted, and couldn't help but add: "Can't you find something cheaper?"

"Su stingy! Come with me, let's go buy some cheap wool."

"Is there really emerald in those broken stones? I've heard people say that it's like gambling, it's a lot of fools."

"Nonsense, most of them are useless, but some are not bad. There is a way to accumulate more."

In the next few days, Su Yan spent about 10 yuan one after another, mostly on things related to jade.He found that the bottom of the spiritual spring in the space had been filled with emerald green. The spring was small, about the size of a washbasin, filled with emeralds of various sizes, like an extra layer of emerald green floor tiles.

"Okay, Lingquan nourishes jade, and jade nourishes Lingquan, so there is no need to run around for now."

"Really? Then I can travel well."

With one less burden, Su Yan was so happy that he and Liang Kui traveled to all the interesting places in Yunnan, leaving nearly a thousand photos.I played in Yunnan for ten days, and it was already July and a half when I went back.

Su Yan gave the souvenirs he brought back to Aunt Xu, and seeing Liang Kui sorting out the gifts for his family when he turned around, he quickly took the opportunity to say, "Liang Kui, do you want to go back and see your parents?"

Hearing this, Liang Kui thought about it, and sighed: "I'm quite homesick... It's okay, I just brought them a gift, but Su Yan, you want to go back with me, my dad wants to see you very much."

Su Yan shook his head: "I won't go, I will go next time if I have a chance."

Liang Kui's face collapsed: "Aren't you going? Why?"

"City A is quite troublesome now. How about I go to play after SARS is completely over?"

Liang Kui felt right when he heard the words, who is free to run to City A at this time, he has a reason to go back to visit his family, Su Yan is not necessary.

"...Okay, I'll come back when I go back to live for a few days."

"kindness."

The next day Su Yan sent Liang Kui to the airport and watched Liang Kui board the plane and leave.

Su Yan turned around and asked about the next flight ticket. At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID was Shu Jiye.

"Su Yan, I'm coming to your city C. I just got off the plane, can you come pick me up?"

"What? You're here?" Su Yan was shocked.

"That's right, it's at the airport."

Su Yan turned around and ran, his eyes searching around in the crowd, he and Shu Jiye had made a video, and now the airport was deserted, and after a while, he really saw Shu Jiye.

Shu Jiye was wearing a dark blue shirt with the collar pulled open casually, holding a simple luggage in one hand and a suit jacket in the other.The image of a clean and refreshing office elite man, the most important thing is that Shu Jiye is very young and only graduated from college.But he gave people the impression that he didn't have the slightest immaturity of a newcomer in society, and made people feel capable and reliable from the inside out.

"Hey, this way, this way." Su Yan waved desperately at him.

Shu Jiye caught Su Yan, smiled slightly, strode towards him, stretched out his right hand, and said politely, "Nice meeting, hello."

Su Yan shook his hand and couldn't help laughing: "Hello, hello, you are exactly as I imagined, young and talented."

"You are much younger than I thought." Shu Jiye looked Su Yan up and down, Su Yan just sent Liang Kui away, he was dressed casually, short-sleeved T-shirt, baggy jeans, a pair of sneakers, and even his hair was messy.Walking on the street in an inconspicuous young man's attire, the biggest highlight is Su Yan's handsome face.

"Do you have a hotel reservation?"

"Not yet."

"If you don't mind, stay at my house?"

"fine, thanks."

On the way back, Su Yan introduced along the road: "That used to be the museum of C City, and C University also went there. My home is in a backward area, undeveloped for the time being, and there are no landmarks nearby. Coincidentally, I just planned to I bought a plane ticket to meet you in City A, but luckily I didn't get on the plane, otherwise I would have to miss you."

Shu Jiye carefully observed the city outside the car, and said: "I'm too busy, I should inform you before boarding the plane. I have a classmate whose hometown is City C. He lived here for several years when he was a child. Later, he could only Memories, I haven’t come back for almost 20 years.”

Listening to Shu Jiye's words, Su Yan said sincerely: "You speak Putonghua really well." Even better than him, the words are straight and round, and the flat tongue is very clear, and Su Yan is very impressed.

Shu Jiye smiled: "My mother taught me well. When I was a child, I spent most of my time outside of school in the United States learning Chinese."

Su Yan was stunned, and Shu Jiye said again: "Who did you learn those skills from? Or have high schools in China already started teaching programming?"

"... I learned this by myself, do you believe it? Anyway, I believe it..." Su Yan looked at Shu Jiye sincerely, as if you had to believe it even if you didn't believe it.

Shu Jiye laughed: "I believe it. No matter how you learn it, it doesn't matter. I am very satisfied with what you do, and I really need your skills. Some of your ideas are very suitable for me."

Su Yan said slowly: "Many games have been introduced and developed in China over the years. According to the tastes of domestic players I know, they tend to prefer PK and adventure. Casual games are not the first consideration. Of course, no matter what it is, funds are the most important. Gaming is a money-burning industry.”

Shu Jiye didn't bother with the money issue. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "You're similar to what I think. Online games have to be played slowly. Before that, I want to launch a competitive game. My team for this game is based in the United States." The pre-production has already started, Su Yan, sign a contract with me."

Su Yan said sternly: "I really hope to work quickly and join the team to participate in game production. But as you can see, I'm still a high school student. I want to sign a contract, but the time may not allow it. You must not like an employee who can't go to work. .”

Shu Jiye frowned: "Indeed, going to high school is very troublesome."

"So, if I want to partner with you?" Su Yan looked at Shu Jiye seriously.

Shu Jiye also looked at him, and then said seriously: "I welcome it, but if you have less than 200 million funds, you don't need to consider it."

"200 million? OK."

Shu Jiye started working on the company as early as the end of his junior year. His senior year was busy recruiting talents, planning, and pre-production. Now he only needs to move the newly established company to City A.

Shu Jiye lives in Su Yan's house. This person is not like Liang Kui who loves to eat and play. He basically sits quietly. Turning on the computer is also a job. Opening his mouth is to talk about business, and he pulls Su Yan to discuss the game together.Liang Kui also likes to discuss games, he talks from the perspective of a player, while Shu Jiye talks from the perspective of a developer.

Shu Jiye also played games here, nothing else but a few small games made by Su Yan.

"The little game sounds simple and boring. I don't know why. I played it over and over again, and I didn't want to let go." Shu Jiye said truthfully.

Su Yan smiled: "No matter what type of game there is always something attractive, the reason why some fail is not because the game is bad, but because of many reasons."

Shu Jiye nodded in agreement, and sighed: "The domestic market is very good. If you manage with your heart, you will always gain something. Even if you fail, it is not terrible. The key is to take the first step."

Shu Jiye stayed for four consecutive days before leaving. On the day before leaving, Shu Jiye pointed to the photo on the computer desk and asked Su Yan, "Is that boy your boyfriend?"

Su Yan was taken aback, and turned his head to look at the photo. It turned out to be a ten-yuan photo of him and Liang Kui when they were in Kunming. Liang Kui hugged Su Yan and smiled brightly.The photos were randomly placed on the table, Su Yan never noticed.

"It's a classmate." Su Yan replied calmly.

Shu Jiye nodded clearly, and said, "It seems that gays are not accepted in China. You are so young, so bear with it if you can."

After a brief contact with Shu Jiye, Su Yan was filled with emotions. Sometimes he really wanted to leave the campus like this and forget about entering the society.He envied Shu Jiye, he did what he wanted without any worries.But at the same time, he also understands that the world of adults is very exciting and full of temptations, but once you get in, you can never get out again.If you want to experience the carefree life when you were young, you can only dream at night.How many people are struggling in the big dye vat, falling colorfully, thinking of the time when they were young, and want to cry with envy, but unfortunately, the past that has passed, can never go back.No matter who you are, you can only move forward, even if you step on a steel needle and are scarred, you can't turn back until the end of your life.

He was able to go back to the past because of his luck. Maybe he died young and lost decades of life in exchange for this luck.Just because he came back here again, he was even more unwilling to give up the present time.

It is not Su Yan's turn to worry about Shu Jiye's affairs. The company's technical team has not come over yet, and Shu Jiye is busy acquiring a game production company that is seriously short of funds.Su Yan also had to worry about the 200 million funds.

On July 22, Liang Kui returned from visiting relatives.

He returned from the train station to the downstairs of Su Yan's house, and it was only six o'clock in the morning.The air is crisp, the streets are deserted, and the street lights are still on.

Liang Kui looked depressedly at the dead phone, picked up the big bag at his feet, and was about to enter the community.Su Yan's figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight, Liang Kui was stunned.

Su Yan was loading sacks of things onto the tricycle. The small tricycle was seriously overloaded, and the sacks were piled high. Su Yan and Aunt Xu tied the hemp ropes familiarly, and Su Yan's voice was heard from a distance. In the morning, it echoed in Liang Kui's ears: "Aunt Xu, you follow by bicycle, and I will ride a tricycle. Please take my breakfast with you, and don't throw away the noodle cakes I haven't finished eating."

"Xiaoyan, be careful, the tie is too high today, don't be careless. Don't worry, I'll keep your dough."

"I know." Su Yan lowered his head and stepped on it vigorously, suddenly there was the sound of a motor, and the heavy tricycle wobbled up the street in the early morning, passing Liang Kui by the side of the road.Su Yan didn't see Liang Kui, and Liang Kui knew he couldn't see him.Because the tricycle was so overloaded, Su Yan in front was almost buried, and he couldn't see the sides.

Liang Kui stared blankly at the tricycle going away, when Aunt Xu passed by on her bicycle, Liang Kui suddenly moved, ran to the community to find a bicycle, and quickly caught up with the street.

With the whistling of the wind, Liang Kui stood and kicked his legs vigorously. The bicycle quickly overtook Aunt Xu and followed closely behind the tricycle.He didn't accelerate any further, just followed like that.He stared at the sacks as high as a hill, and as the sky grew brighter, he finally realized that they were filled with vegetables.

The small motor tricycle is very powerful. Although it was wobbly and scary, it finally arrived at the vegetable market safely.Su Yan wasn't the first to come, it was even quite late.

The tricycle can only be parked in the fixed parking shed outside the vegetable market. The car has been settled, but the vegetables have to be moved to the vegetable moss, which is quite a distance.

Su Yan said to the uncle guarding the carport: "Master, help me look at the car, I will unload the cargo first."

"Oh, you're busy, I'm watching." The uncle replied while rinsing his mouth.

Su Yan untied the rope carefully, unloaded two bags of vegetables, and walked quickly into the vegetable market with a sack in one hand.Liang Kui parked the car and entered the vegetable market.It was very lively inside, most of them were vegetable vendors loading and unloading goods, the noise was very disturbing, but there was an indescribable feeling, this was the first time Liang Kui saw such a corner.

Su Yan untied the two bags of vegetables, separated a part from each and put vegetable moss on them, electronic scales, calculators, change boxes, chairs, notebooks, and put them all away. After finishing these, Aunt Xu came from the main entrance of the vegetable market, Su Yan hurriedly said: "Aunt Xu, watch, I will continue to unload the goods."

"Xiaoyan, take a rest, you have been busy all morning, I will unload the goods."

"I can help you during the summer vacation. Aunt Xu, you have worked so hard." Su Yan smiled.

Aunt Xu couldn't resist, so she had to say: "Eat your noodles and eggs quickly, they won't taste good when they get cold."

"En." Su Yan's eyes lit up, and he strode towards the carport with the unfinished noodle cakes and boiled eggs, and swallowed his breakfast. Su Yan continued unloading, and the overloaded tricycle slowly eased off.The bottom layer is boxes of beautifully packaged fruit.

Su Yan carried two boxes at a time, gritted his teeth, walked through the vegetable market, and sent the fruit to the fruit shop.

A box of fruit is much heavier than a sack of vegetables. There are eight boxes of fruit in Su Yan's cart. After Su Yan finished moving slowly, a layer of sweat broke out on Su Yan's forehead.

Su Yan walked in the crowd, lifted the hem of his T-shirt and wiped the sweat off his face nonchalantly. It was past seven o'clock at this time, and the number of customers who came out to buy vegetables increased sharply, and the vegetable market became more and more noisy.

Relying on his own vegetable moss, Su Yan played with two tomatoes in his hand, throwing them across and across like an acrobatic, and shouted loudly while playing: "Selling vegetables! Selling vegetables! Fresh eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, four seasons bean!"

Aunt Xu was busy appraising a guest, and when she heard Su Yan yelling, she couldn't help laughing at him: "You're funny, you didn't like to be yelled at before, but now you don't have to yell, you just want to yell."

Su Yan chuckled: "I'm practicing my voice." At first I felt embarrassed, but now it's an occasional pleasure.People can't easily change their lives, but they can change their mentality.

With a faint smile on his face, Su Yan's clear voice played in the chaotic vegetable market, like a clear stream, easily drowned, but if he listened carefully and searched carefully, that voice would echo in his ears over and over again, like a lingering sound.

Selling vegetables... Selling vegetables...

This voice appeared in Liang Kui's ears again and again. He was standing in the crowd, he could see Su Yan, but Su Yan couldn't see him.

He didn't know why he followed impulsively, let alone why he chose to hide himself, why he didn't talk to Su Yan.

He just watched like that, didn't speak, didn't leave.

Watch Su Yan perform gorgeous acrobatics with tomatoes, watch him smile slightly when receiving guests, watch him carefully check the genuine and counterfeit banknotes, watch him press the calculator quickly with his fingers, watch his slender fingers hold the pen, and write that it must be very beautiful ledger.
