MTL - After I Was Reborn, I Devoted Myself To My Career-Chapter 72 envy

On New Year's Eve, a light snow fell outside the window, and the whole world was covered with white, but the house was still lively. Everyone sat together, had a New Year's Eve dinner, and watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

Today the family was surprisingly full, sitting around the round table, it was full, the original table of Qi's family was not big enough, Mr. Qi specially asked someone to make a large round table, and it was shipped back to Qi's house the day before New Year's Eve.

At the top of the table is Mr. Qi, followed by Father Qi and Uncle Shen, and sitting at the end are Qi Zhaohan and Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan is two years younger than Qi Zhaohan. She has a lively personality and is the youngest child in the family.

When I was young, I especially liked to play with Qi Zhaohan. After entering junior high school, I suddenly transferred to K City next door, and only transferred back in the second half of today.

"Brother Xiaohan, eat the vegetables." Shen Xuan smiled and picked up a chopstick of vegetables for him, with a fawning face.

Seeing her rolling eyes, Qi Zhaohan knew that she must be begging him for something, so he laughed and said, "What do you want, tell me?"

Shen Xuan paused, her eyes widened, as if she had been misunderstood, she said aggrievedly: "Brother Xiaohan, I'm just picking up some food for you, I don't want anything."

"Really?" Qi Zhaohan pursed his lips, suppressing his smile.

It was rare for Shen Xuan to be twitchy, she whispered: "Brother Xiaohan, I want to tell you quietly."

Qi Zhaohan understood, put his ear to her, and beckoned her to speak.

"Brother Xiaohan, I failed the exam, can you help me hold the parent-teacher meeting for next year's school?" Shen Xuan asked in a low voice, and looked at the expressions of other people at the dinner table with a guilty conscience.

"What are you whispering to Xiaohan? Let me listen, or I won't give you a red envelope." Shen Yu poked his sister and threatened.

"I won't tell you!" Shen Xuan made a face at him.

Turning to look at Qi Zhaohan, begging, shaking his arm: "Brother Xiaohan, are you okay?"

"Are you sure I can do it? Your brother, I am only sixteen years old this year." Qi Zhaohan patted her head amusedly, is she sleepy?

"Hey, you don't want any red envelopes anymore?" Shen Chou was unwilling to endure their neglect.

For Shen Xuan, persuading brother Xiaohan to help her go to the parent meeting is the most important thing now, she said angrily, "No, don't bother me."

"Yes, I'm in "Yaoyang" Middle School. Our class teacher is the Lao Li you often call, and he often praises you in class." Shen Xuan continued to shake him.

"All right, all right, I'll go to participate." Shen Xuan, a little girl with a strong ability to pester people, Qi Zhaohan had no choice but to beg for mercy.

On Lao Li's side, he really hasn't visited for a long time, and just happened to go to visit after school starts.

Shen Xuan got the promise, and graciously brought food to her cousin, with a smile on her face, like a little fox wagging its tail crazily.

The time passed by, and the meal was halfway through, and the countdown to the New Year’s Eve on TV began. This year’s countdown marked that China had entered the new millennium. Various reports on TV and newspapers said that entering the new millennium, Huaguo will develop rapidly like a hurdle.

If this is the case, the later generations he has experienced have undergone rapid changes in just a dozen years, outpacing the pace of decades or even centuries in other countries.

"10...4...2...1." On the TV, the host shouted impassionedly for a while, Qi Zhaohan raised his glass to the TV, and then drank it down.

The alarm clock on the TV was still ringing, and it also rang in his heart at the same time, so that the heart that had been panicking for a year finally settled down.

Qi Zhaohan smiled and looked around his family, feeling more and more happy in his heart. He has been back for a year, and his rebirth has changed everything around him, and everything is developing to a better place.

This year's Spring Festival Gala is unusually long, their meals have all been removed, and the party is not over yet.

The old man went back to sleep after distributing the red envelopes. Only the juniors were left in the living room. Except for Shen Xuan who was seriously watching TV, everyone else was sitting on the sofa and playing with their mobile phones, their fingers moving quickly on the keys. You can tell by looking at it that you are sending a text message for New Year greetings.

Qi Zhaohan looked at them with a smile, leaning on the sofa too lazy to move, he only drank some wine, but probably because he drank it all in one gulp, he seemed a little drunk now.

At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket also buzzed and vibrated, Qi Zhaohan opened it, and text messages rushed out, occupying the entire small screen.

The top one is Wei Lifeng's. Qi Zhaohan sat up straight, opened each item, read it carefully and replied.

In this era, there is no such thing as group text messages, and they edit the text messages word by word, and Qi Zhaohan doesn't want to waste their thoughts.

There were a dozen or so messages in total. After Qi Zhaohan answered all of them, he yawned and was about to get up and go upstairs to sleep when the phone vibrated again.

Qi Zhaohan picked up the phone and looked at it, then paused, it was a text message from Gu Ze.

He thought that after Gu Ze was inexplicably angry that day, the relationship between the two had returned to freezing point, but he didn't expect that Gu Ze would send him a text message.

The text message Gu Ze sent was very long, with neat lines and beautiful sentences, just like the group blessings sent in the circle of friends in later generations.

Qi Zhaohan twitched the corners of his mouth, and simply replied [Thank you for your blessings, I wish you a happy new year. 】

He stood up, and after talking to the others, he went upstairs.

But on a day like the New Year, he was destined not to go to bed as he wished.

Just as Qi Zhaohan closed the door, his cell phone rang. It belonged to little girl Zhao Yue. He raised his hand and pressed the dial button.

———

After eating, Gu Ze hid in the house, counting the approximate time when Qi Zhaohan finished eating, and seeing that the time was almost up, he typed the words of blessing that he had been thinking about for several days, word by word, into the SMS bar After writing, he carefully checked it several times, and he clicked send only after there were no typos.

Since sending it out, he felt an indescribable sense of tension in his heart. He put the phone on the bed and walked around the room anxiously, as if this could calm himself down.

After turning around two or three times, the phone vibrated. Gu Ze was stunned for a moment, then rushed over to check the content.

After seeing the reply, Gu Ze only felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, ups and downs, but very comfortable.

He chewed these two sentences carefully, and suddenly felt an impulse.

He wanted to call Qi Zhaohan.

He dialed the phone on impulse, but in the process of waiting, he became timid again. He was brewing his words, and the tension that had just disappeared came back again.

But he didn't get through the broadcast smoothly. Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Gu Ze silently put down the phone.

It's Chinese New Year, so many people will call Qi Zhaohan, it's normal that they can't get through, maybe Xiaohan will finish the call in a while.

Gu Ze comforted himself, but the gentle smile that Qi Zhaohan had on the phone with Zhou Minghao in the jewelry store that day suddenly appeared in his mind.

Maybe it was Zhou Minghao who was talking to Xiaohan, but why was it Zhou Minghao?

Why can't it be Zhou Minghao?

Gu Ze lay back on the bed weakly, raised his hands to cover his eyes, if there was anything he didn't understand, he was just jealous.

He really is a despicable person, not as great as he imagined, he can't stand Qi Zhaohan being with others.

Those high-sounding blessings are all fake, as long as he thinks that Xiaohan will live with other men for the rest of his life, he will not remember him at all, as long as he thinks that Xiaohan's happiness was not given by him, he will go crazy with jealousy.

He wanted to stand beside Xiaohan in an open and aboveboard manner, and introduce himself to others as Xiaohan's legal partner. I want Xiaohan to show a smile to him, and want to hold him in my arms.

But he has no chance, he missed Xiao Han for twelve years, how could the other party forgive him.

He regrets it.

————

Qi Zhaohan was completely unaware of Gu Ze's various changes.

On the first day of the new year, there will be offspring of the Qi family coming to pay New Year's greetings. Qi Zhaohan was impatient to deal with these people, and did not want to listen to their flattery, so he simply agreed to Tao Shuran's invitation and went out early.

After Qi Zhaohan finished washing up, he just opened the door, the door next door opened, and Shen Yan walked out from it.

The man was wearing a formal suit, his hair was a standard cut, and his face was tense. No matter how he looked, he was so meticulous.

"Good morning, brother Yan." Qi Zhaohan didn't expect to see Shen Yan when he opened the door, he was stunned and said

Shen Yan hooked his lips, and his tone was gentler than before: "Good morning, Xiaohan, are you going out?"

"Yes, I agreed with Ranran and the others to play."

Shen Yan raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said, "It's still early, I'll send you there."

"Okay, thank you Yange." Qi Zhaohan nodded.

Qi Zhaohan didn't understand why Shen Yan wanted to pick him up. He had very little communication with Shen Yan. Except for a few necessary conversations when they met, there was nothing to say at other times. The sun really came out from the west today.

Shen Yan was driving the car, glanced at his cousin's expression in the rearview mirror, and said carefully, "Xiao Han, C City has been a bit uneasy recently, you must ask your driver to pick you up when you go to and from school every day, and you must pay attention to safety when you go out to play. .”

"Okay, but Brother Yan, why did you say this suddenly?" Qi Zhaohan asked strangely.

Shen Yan had long thought of the wording: "Shen Chou's incident was man-made. Although everyone was sent in, I always feel that there are still some fish that slipped through the net..."

"I see." Speaking of this, Qi Zhaohan looked solemn, he nodded and agreed.

Seeing that he had listened, Shen Yan let out a soft breath.

He is looking for the traces of those people recently, but he is also afraid that those people will stare at his family.

Qi Zhaohan sat in the back seat, the doubts in his heart gradually deepened, he didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that Shen Yan was hiding something from him.

———

When he entered the store, Qi Zhaohan was stunned. He thought it was a gathering of three people, but he didn't expect Gu Ze to be there.

The author has something to say:

more.

Lao Gu is just jealous.
