Chapter 159 Meeting an Old Friend in an Old Place

Most people only have one life, and all trajectories in life are one-way streets, the people they meet and the things that happen.

Missed people, missed things.

Zhou Rui spent fourteen years in Shanghai in his previous life, only five of which were spent in Matsuura University Town, but the mark left there was the heaviest.

As for the life of a social animal after that? What mark does social animal breeding leave? Is it the oil mark on the glass where your face was squeezed during the morning rush hour?

After arriving in Shanghai, Zhou Rui had always had a vague idea in his heart that he wanted to visit Matsuura University Town, but he never made the trip.

Mainly because the people, things, and things in his previous life at the university had already passed ten years ago for Zhou Rui before his rebirth, so he felt a sense of alienation that was "both close and far away."

There were a total of six people from the "Are You Hungry" team, seven including Zhou Rui. Since taking the subway to team building was too demoralizing, Zhang Zhihao took the initiative and rented a business car with a wave of his credit card to avoid the need for a round trip. The pain of the subway.

Zhou Rui held the steering wheel with an expressionless face: "So you called me here to have a driver?"

Zhang Zhihao said awkwardly: "When we received the car, we found that the three people with driver's licenses had forgotten how to use the manual transmission."

Zhou Rui turned right and entered the core road of Matsuura University Town, "Wenhui Road".

Matsuura University Town is far away from the urban area. It feels completely different from Fuda in the bustling city. It has a feeling of being isolated from the outside world.

All seven universities are arranged along Wenhui Road. Wenhui Road is also the only commercial street in the university town. There are other business districts further away, but those are more for adults, while Wenhui Road is purely for students.

Zhang Zhihao said it was about team building, but his mind didn't stop for a moment after entering the university town: "There are so many shops and restaurants here, and one road can be chosen from east to west, which is very conducive to street sweeping."

Kang Jia also said: "I see that the dormitory area is also very organized, and there are even people from different schools mixed together, which is a bit interesting."

But Zhou Rui's thoughts have drifted far away. This road has not remained unchanged since he went to school and occasionally came back when he was in his thirties.

But this familiar feeling suddenly pulled him into memories.

For example, this cheating Taiwanese restaurant on the roadside closed down after only a few years. It was expensive and tasted terrible. But when it was still alive, it was the consumption ceiling on Wenhui Road. It would be more respectable to invite girls to eat here.

That juice shop was extremely resilient and seemed to be still there before Zhou Rui was reborn, having been open for more than ten years.

At the Maplewood Hotel next door, the sheets are always washed, and they are operating at full capacity. Sometimes the bed is still warm even after entering.

There is an Entrepreneurship Center in the back, I forgot its name. In his previous life, he was there and saw Zhang Zhihao’s road show from a distance. At that time, he was 11 years old. He had a look of disdain on his face and thought that delivering food had no future.

Now Zhang Zhihao has entered Matsuura University City ahead of schedule, and Zhou Rui, as an investor, has arrived with him.

It's really amazing

Zhang Zhihao pointed out the window and said: "Compared to Five Star Field, this feels like a town only for college students, which is a bit interesting."

Zhou Rui said while driving: "There are adults too, but they are here to earn money for college students. The second and third floors of these roadside buildings are all training institutions."

Zhou Rui parked the car on the side of the road, and a group of people filed out. Team building is team building, and work still needs to be done.

"Let's go around from beginning to end and observe the situation first. What do you say, Zhou Rui? Are you with us?"

Zhou Rui looked around and said, "I'll go for a walk by myself."

Naturally, Zhang Zhihao wouldn't say anything. He already felt a little sorry for letting investors act as drivers.

Are you hungry? Everyone went to shop, and Zhou Rui went to the future ten-year-old shop and ordered a cup of fruit tea.

Still a familiar smell.

Unpalatable.

Why can you live for more than ten years?

Could it be that I bought the shop too early?

Zhou Rui took a sip while walking along the way, including the food court, convenience store, and school gate.

He was somewhat looking forward to seeing some familiar faces so that he could observe in secret.

It must be a strange feeling when you know the other person, but the other person doesn't know you.

But unfortunately, in a university town with more than 100,000 people, it is not so easy to meet familiar people.

Wenhui Road walked from east to west and back again. After finishing the fruit tea in his hand, Zhou Rui didn't meet any familiar faces.

Standing at the door of "Fenglin Evening Hotel", Zhou Rui felt that it was not interesting.

When I was considering whether to go directly to my former dormitory building, the glass door of Maplewood Hotel behind me opened automatically.

Zhou Rui subconsciously turned his head to look, his eyes widening.

A girl wearing long boots and only a tulle jacket came out, carrying a handbag with the "Jack Jones" logo printed on it, and her face looked like a six-pointer.

I don’t know if it’s because the boots don’t fit well, and my steps feel a little weak.

Isn't this Ah Meow?

Ah Miao glanced at Zhou Rui who was leaning against the pillar, not paying much attention, and looked away expressionlessly.

Have you ever seen anyone coming out of a hotel?

"Meow, are you hungry? Are you going to have another meal?"

When Zhou Rui was shocked, another tall, fat man walked out of the hotel, but he was not the person Zhou Rui had imagined.

The tall, fat man hugged Ah Miao's waist, as if there was a chicken hanging around his waist. Naturally, his big fat hands began to act dishonestly.

Ah Miao twisted her waist, as if she didn't want to be seen, and said, "I won't eat anymore, I'm going back to the dormitory."

The two hugged each other and walked away. The fat man glanced at Zhou Rui, as if to say: Are you envious?

Ten thousand grass and mud horses flew through Zhou Rui's heart.

Gong Miaoping, it seems that her original name is not fashionable enough, and she always asks people around her to call her A Miao.

But it doesn't matter. What matters is that she is the girlfriend of Zhou Rui's roommate Fan Zijie in his previous life, and they should have been together at this time in memory.

Old Fan once jumped into the river for her!

Among the people in the dormitory at that time, Fan Zijie and Zhou Rui played the best. Except for the fact that their love experience has always been a bit bloody, they are still good people.

The most famous record is that he broke up with A Miao. His roommate accompanied him to get drunk at a barbecue stall, and then Fan Zijie stood by the stinky canal and said to the phone: "If you don't come now, I will jump from here!"

Of course, he didn't jump in the end, mainly because the canal was too smelly, which made Fan Zijie, who was drunk, vomit. After vomiting, it became even more smelly, so he didn't dare to jump.

At that time, everyone thought that A Miao was not a good match, and all kinds of rumors were flying around in the school, but Zhou Rui was not the party involved after all, but was fortunate to witness some key points when the quarrel was more fierce.

I know that Lao Fan was tortured badly, but he was unwilling to say what happened.

It was useless to persuade him, and everyone just ignored it over time.

Zhou Rui's mind flashed a lot of information. Could it be that Fan Zijie and Ah Miao didn't get together in this life?

Ah Miao and the man said a few more tender words, and the fat man left and got on an old BMW on the side of the road. I didn't expect that he was a car owner.

After Ah Miao saw the man leave, he didn't really go back to the dormitory. He looked at his phone and turned around to buy drinks at the fruit tea shop.

This is really

Well, well, Lao Fan was relieved. Until he was 30 years old, he still sighed when he mentioned Ah Miao. It was a good thing that they didn't get together in this life.

Just thinking about it, I saw a fool holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, wearing a washed black short-sleeved shirt, and walked over happily.

"Ah Miao! Are you waiting for me?"

He took out the flowers like a treasure and handed them to Ah Miao.

"Do you want a drink? I'll buy it."

Ah Miao tidied up her messy hair:

"I've been sweating a lot, please order me a glass of lemonade."

"That's right, in this weather, it's easy to get dehydrated."

Zhou Rui: Pfft!!!
