2006, Shanghai
At night, Chu Xiao walked alone on the street, looking at the flashing neon lights around him. The traffic was heavy. He couldn't help but feel sad. Why did I fail again? How can I face my family?'
Now was the time when the internet was starting to take off. Chu Xiao was optimistic about the future development of the internet and wanted to enter the market to get a share of the pie.
Chu Xiao was tempted when he saw the various client-side games that were booming in the market. Hence, Chu Xiao registered a gaming company in Shanghai. However, he did not expect that he would fail repeatedly with his own skills.
It could only be said that Chu Xiao had set the game to be too high-end. An average person would need at least a month to understand it. It was no wonder that players had a poor affinity with each other. It caused Chu Xiao's Cloud Sky Gaming Company to close down.
"Looks like I can only go home and prepare to inherit my father's company.”Thinking of this, Chu Xiao could not help but sigh.
Chu Xiao had been in this world for more than twenty years. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person and could only work hard as an ordinary white-collar worker.
But one day, he was killed by a truck while trying to save a little girl.
Then, he inexplicably came to this world. After all these years of discovery and understanding, Chu Xiao knew that he had come to another parallel space and time. Furthermore, he was born into a wealthy family.
After Chu Xiao's excitement subsided, he realized something. He didn't have a cheat or an old grandpa that could make a transmigrator powerful. He only increased his intelligence. Those existences that were comparable to the strongest brain.
This made Chu Xiao very depressed. He was a transmigrator. He had lived in vain for the past twenty years. Just as Chu Xiao was reminiscing, a phone rang.
"Ring…Ring." Chu Xiao heard his phone ring and realized that it was his girlfriend's.
"Hello, dear. Did you miss me?" Chu Xiao picked up the phone and teased.
"Hmph, bad guy. I'm so annoying." A shy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Darling, what are you doing? I miss you." Chu Xiao suddenly said affectionately.
"I'm reading the script. What are you doing? I missed you too, you scoundrel." The other party's last sentence was especially soft. If Chu Xiao did not listen carefully, he would not have heard it. He was obviously embarrassed.
"Liying, my business failed." Chu Xiao said in a low voice.
"It's okay, bad guy. I still have more than 200,000 yuan here. I've saved it from filming over the past few years. Hubby, you can do it! I believe you will succeed." Zhao Liying heard Chu Xiao's disappointed tone and felt both heartache and comfort.
Chu Xiao was very touched by Zhao Liying's words. He suddenly made up his mind and said firmly,"Honey, keep your money. I'll go find you in a few days."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Alright, scoundrel, I'm done chatting with you. I'm going to focus on the script. If you don't make money, I'll take care of you, hehe.”Zhao Liying knew Chu Xiao's temper. As long as he made up his mind, he would not change it.
"Alright, then you can support me in the future. My dear wife." Chu Xiao said shamelessly.
"Hmph, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm really hanging up.”Zhao Liying said coquettishly.
"Mhm, you can hang up. Rest early and don't stay up late to read the script. It's not good for your health, you know.”Chu Xiao said with concern.
"Yes, I know." Zhao Liying dragged her voice.
After a while, Zhao Liying heard that Chu Xiao still did not hang up the phone, so she said,"Scoundrel, why haven't you hung up yet?”
"I was waiting for you to hang up." Chu Xiao's gentle voice sounded.
"Alright, I'll hang up then."
After hanging up, Zhao Liying placed her phone on her chest. Her face was filled with happiness. She and Chu Xiao had been in love for two years. She still remembered the first time she met Chu Xiao.
It was 2004. Zhao Liying was 19 years old, and she had been working as an extra for a year. That afternoon, Zhao Liying had just come out from a production team and was preparing to go to another production team.
A man suddenly ran out from the corner and knocked her down. Not only did he not help her up, he did not even apologize and ran away. Zhao Liying stood up and tidied up the dust on her clothes before rushing to the set. She was almost late when she arrived.
After work at night, Zhao Liying was walking home alone when someone suddenly appeared beside her. "Hey, I finally caught you. You have to be responsible for me today."”This person was Chu Xiao.
In fact, Chu Xiao did not want to do this, but he had no choice. He had not eaten for the entire afternoon and was starving to death. He did not have a single cent on him. He happened to see the girl he bumped into in the afternoon, so he shamelessly came up. Let's solve the problem of food first. He didn't even care about his face.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly come out? Don't you know how to scare people to death? Oh…I recognize you. You're the one who ran away after bumping into me at noon.”Zhao Liying recovered from her shock and vented her anger on Chu Xiao. Then, she realized that this person looked very familiar. He recognized it after thinking about it carefully.
"Cough…cough, I bumped into you at noon. I'm sorry. I apologize to you. But because you stopped me at noon, I couldn't catch the thief, so I'm penniless now. You have to be responsible for me. Uh…at least treat me to a meal.”Chu Xiao was embarrassed for a moment and immediately said seriously.
"Bah, shameless. Who's going to take responsibility for you?”Zhao Liying blushed and spat.
"That's fine too. I'll be in charge of you then. Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal." After saying that, Chu Xiao pulled Zhao Liying's hand and dragged her to the small restaurant next door.
After Zhao Liying's hand was pulled, she tried her best to pull it out. She realized that she could not pull it away with her strength, so she threatened Chu Xiao,"Hey, let go of me. If you don't let go, I'll call for help." After saying that, she saw that Chu Xiao was still dragging her and did not even turn his head. She started shouting,"Men, catch the bad guys."
Zhao Liying's shout attracted the attention of many passers-by. They all pointed their fingers at him and commented on him. There were even a few young men who rolled up their sleeves and were ready to beat him up.
Seeing that things were not looking good, Chu Xiao grabbed Zhao Liying. He pulled Zhao Liying into his arms and covered her mouth with his. Zhao Liying's eyes widened in disbelief and she forgot to struggle.
When the people around saw this scene, they thought that it was a couple quarreling, so they slowly dispersed.
Chu Xiao loosened his mouth when he saw that there was no one around. He exhaled and said," I almost suffocated."”
Chu Xiao's words pulled Zhao Liying back to reality. Thinking about what happened just now, she immediately cried and hit Chu Xiao as she cried."You big bad guy, bastard, shameless, scoundrel, my first kiss is gone. Wu…wu…wu…wu!" Zhao Liying, who had never scolded anyone before, could only use these few words to scold Chu Xiao. In the end, when she was tired of scolding, she squatted down and hugged her knees as she cried.
"That was also my first kiss just now. Let's call it even, okay?”
Chu Xiao said as he looked at Zhao Liying who was squatting there. Seeing that there was no reaction, she continued,"Don't cry, okay?" You can do whatever you want, alright? I was wrong. I'm sorry." Ever since he was young, Chu Xiao had no resistance to women crying.
"What do you mean by 'calculate'? It was your fault in the first place. How unlucky am I to have met you?”When Zhao Liying heard Chu Xiao's words, she was instantly furious and raised her head to scold Chu Xiao. There were still tears on her face, and she looked pitiful. After saying that, she got up and left. She thought to herself, I can't afford to offend you, but I can hide from you.
Who would have thought that every step Zhao Liying took, Chu Xiao would follow behind her? After walking for a while, Zhao Liying turned back to look at Chu Xiao and said angrily,""What exactly do you want?"
"Not much. I'm hungry. You have to treat me to a meal." Chu Xiao looked at Zhao Liying's puffy face, which was especially cute. He subconsciously reached out to pinch her.
Zhao Liying slapped Chu Xiao's hand away. He turned around and left. However, after taking a few steps, he stopped and said,""I don't have money to treat you to a meal. Come with me. I'll make you a bowl of noodles.”
Although Chu Xiao had taken advantage of her, she could not bear to see Chu Xiao's pitiful look. Zhao Liying's kind-hearted heart flared up again. She had never considered what would happen if she brought a bad person into her house. Fortunately, it was Chu Xiao.
When Chu Xiao heard Zhao Liying's words, he quickly followed her. No matter what it was, as long as there was food, it was good enough.
When they got home, Zhao Liying put on an apron and quickly made two bowls of noodles for Chu Xiao. After cooking, she brought it to the dining table and said to Chu Xiao, who was sitting on the sofa,"Here, I've made it for you. Hurry up and eat. Hurry up and leave after eating." He sat down and started eating.
When Chu Xiao heard that the meal was ready, he threw away the remote control in his hand and ran over. He picked up the remaining bowl and started eating. He finished it in a short while. He stared at the empty bowl in Zhao Liying's hand.
Zhao Liying felt especially awkward when Chu Xiao saw her. She put down her chopsticks and pushed the remaining half bowl in front of Chu Xiao.："You eat."
"Thank you. By the way, I still don't know your name.”Chu Xiao slowed down when he ate the bowl.
"I'm Zhao Liying, what's your name? How did things end up like this? I can't even afford to eat." Zhao Liying was more curious about Chu Xiao. How could a person be so shameless?
"My name is Chu Xiao. I just graduated from university and came here for a vacation. She did not expect her wallet and phone to be stolen as soon as she got out of the car. Fortunately, I met you. I'm sorry about what happened today." Chu Xiao put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and said solemnly to Zhao Liying.
"Forget it, let's hurry up and leave after eating.”Seeing that Chu Xiao had finished eating, Zhao Liying started to chase him away. The apartment was only one room. Although Zhao Liying was innocent, it didn't mean she was stupid. It was too dangerous to let a man she had just met spend the night.
"Hehe, there's no rush. By the way, what do you do?" Chu Xiao said cheekily.
"I'm just an extra in the production team, but my dream is to be an actor.”Zhao Liying said proudly. However, he immediately reacted,"Hey, when are you leaving?" I'm going to sleep."
"Oh, go to sleep. I won't disturb you. I'll sleep on the sofa." Chu Xiao pretended not to understand. He walked to the sofa and lay down.
"Hey, do you think it's okay for a single woman like me to let you stay here for the night?”Zhao Liying said angrily.
Chu Xiao did not say anything and pretended to be asleep. To be honest, Chu Xiao also felt that he had gone too far, but he could not sleep on the streets.
Zhao Liying saw Chu Xiao pretending to be asleep and had no choice. She could only return to her room angrily and lock the door. She closed her clothes and lay down to sleep. She had been playing extras for the whole day, falling and hitting. It really exhausted her.
