Rebirth of the Uncrowned King

I still couldn't control my alcohol intake, and I drank until late at night.

This point, I probably can't change it in my life.

The neighborhood is very quiet.Holding on to the railing, I climbed up the stairs step by step. Standing at the door of the rented house, I took out the key tremblingly, but found that I couldn't match the lock hole no matter what.

The door was suddenly opened from the inside, and I took a step back in fright, and saw a gloomy and familiar face.

"Jiawen, it's so late, you still haven't slept yet?" Seeing that it was Wang Jiawen, I hurriedly greeted him.

"I'm reeking of alcohol again!" Wang Jiawen's tone was clearly dissatisfied, I smiled shyly and let him help me into the room.

Lying on the soft sofa, with a glass of honey water in hand, I half-closed my eyes, vaguely listening to Wang Jiawen's complaints.

"Come back so late...the law and order is not good...the money was robbed...the kidneys were cut and sold..."

"Don't worry, people will let me go when they see my work permit. Have you read yesterday's newspaper? According to expert statistics, among all industries in China, the health of media employees is the worst, the worst— —” For some reason, I suddenly became playful and joked loudly with him in the bathroom.

Not long after, Wang Jiawen rushed out from inside, took one of my arms and dragged me to the bathroom, saying viciously: "Give me back, put away the bath water, soak in the water and wake up!"

The next morning, I naturally had a splitting headache. Fortunately, Jiawen was considerate and put painkillers and a glass of water beside my bed.

After taking the medicine, I turned over and continued to sleep.I looked at the schedule yesterday, and today and last Saturday were switched off. For me, it was like picking up a rest day for nothing.

When I opened my eyes again, I woke up from hunger.Looking at the phone, it was already past five in the afternoon.

I rolled over lazily, planning to get up and find something to eat.

After drinking a glass of water, my mind finally cleared up a bit, and of course I immediately remembered a very important thing—tonight, there seemed to be a dinner.

Turning on the phone, there was indeed a text message in the inbox, which clearly marked the time and place of tonight's dinner. The host was my colleague in the newspaper office and my teacher when I was an intern.If my memory serves me right, he should have quit.

After simply washing up, I casually found a piece of clothing to put on, took my traffic card and keys and went out.

During the evening rush hour, it was most difficult to get a taxi. I stood by the side of the road and waited for more than ten minutes. I had nothing to do except watch the taxis with passengers come and go.

After finally stopping an empty car, I was stuck in traffic for nearly an hour. When I arrived at the hotel, it was already past seven o'clock.As soon as I entered the box, everyone glanced over in unison, which made me extremely embarrassed.

"Xiaoye, you're finally here!" A loud voice sounded, and I went up to meet him with a smile: "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry I'm late, I feel a little uncomfortable today, I'll punish myself with a drink first, and I'll apologize to you."

Someone handed me a glass of beer, and I simply drank it down.Putting down the glass, seeing a satisfied smile on Brother Jiang's face, I wiped my mouth with my hand and said, "Brother Jiang, congratulations, you danced to a good place too!"

Brother Jiang has been in this business for six years. According to my current age, he should have gotten married last year.Because of unstable working hours, he was often complained by his wife, so a private company poached him to be the director of public relations, and he resigned without hesitation.

"Oh, it's actually more stable, and the money is not too much, but at least the woman at home is satisfied." Brother Jiang put his shoulders on me, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Xiaoye, have you ever thought about changing places? It's not that I can't Enduring hardships, it’s just our line, the work is upside down day and night, exposed to the sun and rain all day long, and you’re still getting angry everywhere. If you have good things, you won’t get your turn, and if there are bad things, you will stand in front. It’s better to go with Brother Jiang. There is no one in Brother Jiang. Qixuan, the salary guarantee will not make you regret it, how about it, think about it?"

I looked up at Jiang Ge's greasy red face, because of drinking a lot, his tongue was a little flat and his eyes were dull, it was hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or joking .

I remember that the me two years ago firmly rejected Brother Jiang.

But now, I just smiled and said: "Okay, I will think about it."

Whether you need it or not in the future, you can never go wrong if you leave yourself a way out.

After two glasses of wine, I dare not drink more.Although he was confused last night, he still remembered Wang Jiawen's frightening face clearly.

Wang Jiawen is my roommate and my landlord.I have rented his house since I graduated from university. It is spacious, close to the newspaper office, and the rent is not high. It is simply my dreamhouse.

What's even more amazing is that Wang Jiawen is diligent, cleans up every day, cooks good food, and knows how to take care of others.Compared with him, I, who eats and drinks all day long, is simply a big slob.

By the way, Wang Jiawen is a fitness trainer, and he likes to be bare-chested when he has nothing to do, showing off his beautiful muscles that are fit but not too strong, which makes me, Bottom, want to drool every time I see it.

It's a pity that Wang Jiawen's body is actually size 0.I and his two number 0s get together, there are parental quarrels, bickering and hurting each other, and mutual care (of course I have been taken care of more times), but it has nothing to do with romance.

When I got home, Wang Jiawen was doing push-ups in the living room, with beads of sweat all over his head and body.

I went around him and turned on the TV on the sofa.

"Are you drinking again?" Wang Jiawen said without panting while bobbing up and down.

"A little bit..." I felt guilty for no reason, and my voice was soft.

In the past, I always felt that he was too much in charge and often quarreled with him.I didn't realize how valuable such a roommate was until he died because of me.

Now I feel that his nagging and caring is quite warm.

He snorted, got up and walked into the kitchen, and brought me a cup after a while.

"Here, honey water, to sober you up."

"Thank you." I took the cup and took a sip of the sweet honey water. I felt very comfortable from my throat to my stomach.

Wang Jiawen sat down next to me, stared at the boring variety show on TV for a while, and suddenly said, "Ah Zhen, are you in any trouble?"

"No, why would you ask such a question?" I moved my eyes from the TV screen to his face, and met his thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"I think you are a little different from before. It's been weird since yesterday morning."

My heart sank and I forced myself to calm down.What can I say, I can't tell him that I am the Ye Shuzhen two years from now, it's no wonder he will believe it!

Even if he is willing to believe it, I don't want to say it. This matter is too weird. I don't know what the consequences will be if others find out.If something bad happens, it's better for me to bear it alone.

From now on, I never want to see Wang Jiawen suffer because of me.
