At five o'clock in the morning, the sky in Hong Kong was still dim. Chen Hansheng stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. He originally thought that he would have a chance to return to 2019 after waking up, but when he turned around and saw the single volume of Dragon Ball comics on the bedside, he gave up.
"It seems that I really have to stay here."
Chen Hansheng sighed, and then began to brush his teeth and wash his face. Liang Meijuan was awakened by the noise outside. After getting up, she took a look and said, "Oh, Mr. Chen got up so early today?"
"I'm hungry, Mom."
Chen Hansheng patted his stomach and said.
"Feelings are awakened by hunger."
Liang Meijuan never spoiled her son: "If you are hungry, go buy breakfast yourself. Don't worry about us. Your dad and I will go to the company cafeteria to solve it. Now I have to take a nap."
Liang Meijuan really went back to the bedroom after saying that. She was even worried that Chen Hansheng would wake her up again, and she actually locked the door with a "click".
Chen Hansheng was speechless. Liang Meijuan said that she did not support Chen Zhaojun's way of raising children, but in fact, she had been implementing it imperceptibly.
Two years ago, when Chen Hansheng was still in the first year of high school, Liang Meijuan proudly boasted to her family that even if she and Chen Zhaojun suddenly had a car accident, the 15-year-old Chen Hansheng would never starve to death in this world.
At that time, this sentence made Chen Hansheng's grandmother angry and cursed, claiming that if the couple could not raise a child, she would send Chen Hansheng back to the countryside.
His mother didn't care about him, so Chen Hansheng could only go downstairs alone to find food. Now there were few people on the street, only a few vendors selling breakfast were setting up stalls, and the air was filled with a veil-like mist, and there was a little coolness attached to the skin, but more of it was refreshing and comfortable.
"The fried dough sticks smell delicious"
"The egg pancakes are good too"
"The steamed buns are still hot"
······
Chen Hansheng watched along and his stomach started to growl. The owner of the egg pancakes noticed this interested customer and shouted from afar: "Young man, give me one."
"ojbk."
Chen Hansheng walked over quickly and was even ready to ask the owner to add an egg, but then he remembered that it was 2002 and how could he pay the bill without a mobile phone?
"You're cheating my son."
Liang Meijuan also forgot to give the change, so Chen Hansheng could only reluctantly give up the egg pancakes. In fact, he didn't mind buying on credit, but the key was that the owner minded.
It's really funny to think about it. Chen Hansheng, who is worth tens of millions, has no money for breakfast after his rebirth, but he has a good mentality, and he also wants to adapt to the port city 17 years ago, so he walked along the moat.
Unknowingly walked several kilometers, and finally stopped at Shuangqiao Park.
There were already many elderly people doing morning exercises here. Chen Hansheng was planning to sit for a while and then go home, but suddenly he saw a familiar figure.
It was Xiao Rongyu.
She was jogging in the morning, wearing sports shorts, and the black tights completely outlined her body curves, which made Chen Hansheng excited.
"Xiao Rongyu."
Chen Hansheng sat on a stone bench and waved to say hello.
Xiao Rongyu was very surprised to see Chen Hansheng. It was only about 6:30 now, and Chen Hansheng should have gone to bed early. Why was he here?
Unless...
Xiao Rongyu suddenly understood, wiped the crystal sweat on her nose, hesitated for a while, and finally said to Chen Hansheng: "Xiao Chen, I know your feelings, but I really don't want to fall in love in college."
"What the hell?"
Chen Hansheng looked at Xiao Rongyu in surprise, thinking that this person must have a problem with his brain, talking about love so early in the morning.
Seeing Chen Hansheng's expression, Xiao Rongyu said helplessly: "Aren't you waiting here so early just to wait for me?"
Chen Hansheng was stunned for a moment.
"And."
Xiao Rongyu pouted her rosy lips: "Yesterday you pretended not to know me, probably to attract my attention."
"Hansheng, you don't have to be like this. I don't want to date now, I just want to finish my studies."
Xiao Rongyu said seriously and sincerely.
Chen Hansheng didn't answer, swallowing hard.
"Don't say anything, am I right?"
Xiao Rongyu's long eyes seemed to flow like a clear spring, with a confident light.
Chen Hansheng stared blankly, and finally nodded and admitted: "You are really too smart."
"How about this, I'll treat you to breakfast, and we can talk while eating."
Chen Hansheng, who didn't have a penny on him, took the initiative to say.
As expected, Xiao Rongyu shook her head: "Actually, I should treat you. You always took care of me more when I was studying."
"Okay, let's make a happy decision."
Chen Hansheng nodded very readily and took the initiative to suggest: "There is a delicious bun shop in front of the Public Security Bureau. Paired with soy milk and fried soybeans, it's very appetizing just to think about it."
"Let's go and try it."
Chen Hansheng said excitedly.
Xiao Rongyu was a little unaccustomed to this change of rhythm. Her face was confused for a while. Why did she feel that Chen Hansheng seemed to be more interested in breakfast? She could only nod blankly.
This bun shop did have a good business. In his previous life, Chen Hansheng often came here to eat. Because it was at the door of the Public Security Bureau, there were still many uniformed policemen coming in and out. Someone greeted Xiao Rongyu: "Xiao Yu'er, have breakfast."
After that, they also looked at Chen Hansheng who was eating buns in silence.
Xiao Rongyu had a small appetite and spent most of the time looking at Chen Hansheng. She probably wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start.
"You're still too young."
Chen Hansheng pretended not to see it and ate three steamed buns with relish. Then he looked at his belly and said, "You, don't eat so much in the future. What if you get fat in middle age?"
Chen Hansheng was actually speaking from his heart, but Xiao Rongyu found it very interesting, and then asked, "Are you full?"
"I'm full. Thank you for the treat. I'm going home."
Chen Hansheng held a toothpick in his mouth and walked out of the bun shop.
The boss was waiting for him to pay the bill, but Chen Hansheng didn't have the money. He turned his head and saw Xiao Rongyu tying her hair in the back.
She couldn't hear it either, so Chen Hansheng joked, "Wait, my girlfriend will pay for it together."
At this time, a middle-aged policeman with the rank of second-level police inspector walked in from outside and happened to hear this sentence.
"You look familiar. I guess you're a friend of my parents."
Chen Hansheng looked at him, but he couldn't remember his name, so he could only nod.
However, while waiting outside the door, Chen Hansheng saw the middle-aged policeman wiping Xiao Rongyu's sweat affectionately, and the bun shop owner pointed at him and said something.
"It's broken."
Chen Hansheng suddenly came to his senses, threw away the toothpick and shouted loudly: "Xiao Xiao, I have something to do at home, I'm going back first."
Without waiting for Xiao Rongyu's response, Chen Hansheng walked home.
