Reboot 1999 [Rebirth]

Yan Guangde walked like a car, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and slowly climbed up the old-fashioned stairs to the third floor.Unsurprisingly, in front of him is still the old scene that has long been obliterated by dust and sand in his memory.

In 1999, in the old center of Hebei City, when the sky just dawned, the night had not completely closed, and all the light in the sky and the earth seemed to be extinguished.The corridor is very blurry, and the sundries cannot be seen clearly.Only the faint sound of traffic on the street outside could be heard.

No one passed by.

A dim light in the corridor flickered from time to time.Yan Guangde stopped and took a closer look with the help of the weak light. In the corridor, there were briquettes piled up by the neighbors next door, cat and dog feces were randomly placed in the thin iron dustpan, and there were also large stacks of newspapers hanging on the newspaper rack under the curtain of the door. On the Internet, anyone can take advantage of it.

All in all, the corners and corners of this small building are full of fragments that can only be seen in the last century.There is also a large poster of the Eagles hanging on the side wall. Below the poster, a crumbling wooden box is hooked on a long rusty nail, with the red words "Mingguang Milk Subscription" pasted on it.

He stood outside the door for a while, fumbled for a bunch of keys from his trouser pocket, hung them on his fingertips with a clang, and twirled them.After a long time, I laughed.

Shili Qinhuai Road, the old Hebei City that has been missing for 51 years.The lively Jin Yan who was still wandering around in various bars.He, Yan Guangde, was still a third-year student from an unknown university. ——All of this happened unexpectedly, it was so mysterious, so wonderful that it was unbelievable!

Yan Guangde opened the door and went in, turned on the light, looked deeply through the eyes of the "old people" after 51 years, and then... sighed deeply.This place, indeed, is just like what the No. [-] nobleman of the Hua Kingdom scolded in his memory, it is a kennel!Clothes and newspapers were scattered on the sofa, a pair of jeans spanned between the sofa and the chair, and above the chair was a single computer desk, and the huge computer monitor occupied his sight.

Yan Guangde is like a warrior who has crossed the desert and the ocean, overcoming obstacles all the way, and finally found the most important identity document for him from all kinds of garbage. In Jibei City in 1999, the household registration review system had not yet been fully popularized. He was just a student at school, because he partnered with his senior Lao Jiang to set up a small science and technology company, and then he never went to get a Huaguo citizenship certificate.

Citizens of Huaguo proved that in theory it was just a thin card, and in 1999 there was no electronic chip.But not everyone born in China can apply.Born in Huaguo, one can only have a household registration certificate, but cannot be included in the top talent pool of Huaguo, nor can he have the privileges that ordinary people can't imagine later.

In 2001, Jin Yan had a falling out with him, but after a laboratory explosion accident, he suddenly appeared at the scene of the accident, and desperately carried Yan Guangde out, insisting on taking Yan Guangde's life.But since then, Jin Yan has lost his proud appearance and one eyeball, and his internal organs have been greatly irradiated, so he needs to leave Huaguo for treatment.

During the day, Jin's family fought with him many times for Jin Yan, who was seriously injured and dying.In the end, Yan Guangde was defeated by a piece of citizenship certificate.Without a citizenship certificate, he could not go to the top nuclear radiation laboratory on the earth at that time, nor could he lead his "family" to consult the S team in a secret base that specialized in nuclear radiation healing.

So, Yan Guangde lost everything in the end.He watched Jin Yan lying on the hospital bed silently staring at him with his only remaining eyeball. The sadness and helplessness in that eye had troubled him for nearly 50 years.Never for a moment or forgot.

Now that he has successfully returned to the end of the last century, it is more in line with Dr. Yan's work style to kill all mistakes before they start.

Yan Guangde finally rummaged through the messy drawers and found a 1999 headshot. In the photo, he had green brows, patchy hair on his forehead, slightly pursed lips, and looked directly at the camera.

It was as if half a century had passed, and she was far away from her later self.

Yan Guangde picked up the one-inch headshot with two fingers, looked down for a moment, and the left corner of his mouth twitched slightly.He waved away a pile of sundries spread out on the chair, sat in front of the computer desk, put his two 1.4-meter-long legs on the desk, and lit a cigarette with a click.Then...he coughed violently.

After 51 years, Yan Guangde has long forgotten the smell of tobacco in the last century.Suddenly, he coughed violently because of the smell of tar, tears came out of his eyes, but the corners of his mouth became more and more upturned, as if the joy of a night hidden deep in his heart flowed out.very nice!He caught Jin Yan, and the real Jin Yan stood in front of him with a lively face.He actually kissed Jin Yan tonight.

Yan Guangde got up suddenly, brought the chair upside down, and excitedly walked around the cramped rental house.Jin Yan lay in the back of his mind, opened his arms in an indescribable gesture, and said to him, Old Master, welcome back to this world.

Yan Guangde succeeded, hardened.

……

Later, in the sweaty and cramped rental house full of indescribable smells, Yan Guangde picked up the newly changed sheets and squinted at the boxer shorts that had just been put out to dry on the balcony.

I used to be such an immature child!He secretly despised himself.

Birds chirp outside the window, the sky gradually brightens, and a brand new day arrives.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yan Guangde went to the school's Academic Affairs Office to apply.Then, holding the recommendation letter signed by the head of the department, he hurriedly put it in a thick khaki paper bag, and took a taxi again to Tadpole Software Development Company.

When he got into the company, Lao Jiang was giving Johnny a lecture.Through the glass window, he saw Johnny in a white cartoon T-shirt lowering his head, the stud on his left ear flickered, reflecting the sunlight coming in from outside.After 51 years, seeing Johnny again felt very strange, like walking in a small alien world with disordered time and space.

In the end, without saying anything, he opened the cubicle door that belonged to him, and then sat in front of the bulky computer screen and typed on the keyboard, quickly recording work proof materials for himself.From time to time, a few colleagues gasped.Someone was vaguely talking about him——

"Did you see that, this is the school grass from the unknown university..."

"Fuck, he's pretty handsome..."

"Not only is he handsome, but he obviously got in because of his high education. It is said that he is also the boss' junior..."

"Is there any mistake, as far as the IQ of our boss is concerned, he graduated from an unknown university?"

"Hush, keep your voice down, the boss often comes to conduct surprise inspections in the afternoon!"

People spoke one after another, like a large group of weeds that entered Yan Guangde's ears crazily, fluttering with the sound of the wind.Yan Guangde lightly raised his eyes, his pupils had been adjusted to pure black according to the time and space here, and his pupils shrunk slightly. The blood in his young body was throbbing, and he wanted to jump up and beat up those chattering idlers who disturbed him to record materials.

He pursed his thin lips, retracted his toes, and his face remained calm as usual.

When Johnny came out, he passed Yan Guangde's seat. Yan Guangde patted him on the shoulder, and Johnny immediately turned around and smiled at him gratefully.

In 1999, Johnny had just graduated from high school, his skin was pale, and he was a typical E-generation person who was nocturnal.He seemed to have an air of unconcerned pride.But only Yan Guangde knew that Johnny was actually a sensitive "child".The so-called child refers to willful and reckless behavior. When they think they are hurt, they bow their waists and blow up their hair all over their bodies, showing their sharp claws and white teeth to the outside world, waiting for the right time to deal a fatal blow to the so-called enemy.

Yan Guangde has always known that Johnny is vicious and gentle.That viciousness was aimed at everyone except him, Yan Guangde, and Yourou, of course, was aimed at him, Yan Guangde. In the later 21st century, Johnny confessed to him countless times in person or through code, saying that he fell in love with him, starting in 1999.

But Yan Guangde still has no idea what Johnny fell in love with him.Perhaps, he just wasn't interested in paying attention.

Love it or hate it, what does it matter to him?Furthermore, those bad debts in youth, who hasn't rubbed dog dung all over the place?He couldn't be responsible for this suspicious and sensitive child for most of his life just because he provoked Johnny back then!

...Although it is true, it was Yan Guangde who made the decision at the talent exchange meeting with thousands of people in the spring of 1999.Yan Guangde still remembers the application proposal he submitted at that time. Johnny in 1999 was undeniably talented and needed encouragement when appropriate.But that's all.In the long half century since, he has treated Johnny with nothing else.Just touched his lips, waved and burned the expensive wagonload of roses that Johnny had rolled out himself.

Yan Guangde watched Johnny return to his seat and bowed his head to work, smiled with satisfaction and coldness, and said nothing.He was reborn until 1999, but Johnny didn't.These past entanglements, it is better to end this time earlier, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles in the future.

Oh no, there is no future.He couldn't be bothered to touch someone like Johnny.

Yan Guangde got up, brewed a cup of instant coffee, shook it, and looked through the blurred frosted glass between the grids.Outside, there were five or six people typing keyboards on the computer, crackling and chaotic, looking very busy.

In order to cover up, and to better integrate into the life of the so-called young age, Yan Guangde quickly finished recording the materials and printed out the citizenship certificate application page, and put it in the khaki paper bag.I plan to take advantage of the next time I see the senior, Lao Jiang, and hand it over to the senior, and hand it over to the relevant senior management for him.

On the second day of his rebirth in 1999, Yan Guangde had nothing to do, pretending to continue his peaceful daily work.Make a phone call, review the program, and chat by the way.The hands of the cheap quartz watch that finally got mixed with the artificial leather belt on the wrist got stuck until five o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone hugged their things and scattered with a whoosh.Yan Guangde put his hand in his trouser pocket, with a file bag under his arm, slowly mixed in the crowd, crossed the intersection of traffic lights, followed the signs to find an old-fashioned bus that looked like a turtle shell, and wandered back home.

Yan Guangde went back to the temporarily rented house alone and cooked a simple dinner.Then I sat in the seat and watched TV, and changed a few channels, all of which were popular idol dramas.For some reason, he was yawning and looked at his watch. It was only ten o'clock in the evening.The nightlife has just begun.He simply turned off the TV and was about to go out, but before he left, he remembered, called Wilson, and asked him to go to the Luan Jiaren bar together.

Wilson, that chasing womanizer, readily agreed.

Now that Jin Yan has no negotiation with him, he may only have to go to the bar to catch this cunning butterfly.Yan Guangde put down the phone, licked his hair in the mirror, thought about it, messed it up again, and took a cold shower temporarily.Cropped trousers and white sneakers, half-wet black hair, clear eyebrows, dark pupils, like a wolf disguised as a loyal dog.

When Yan Guangde arrived at the bar, Wilson, Xiaoye and a few so-called friends arrived early.The wild cat who has not shown up for a long time is also here, and it is said that it is the mysterious shareholder behind the Xilian bar.What surprised Yan Guangde was that Johnny was also there.He and Johnny work at the same place, but he called Wilson to make an appointment, but he didn't say hello to Johnny, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Johnny huddled in the corner silently, under the dim light of the bar above his head, but he kept his head down, his long shattered hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, and he couldn't tell whether the kid was happy or unhappy.

Yan Guangde snorted inwardly, turned the wine glass with his slender fingers, and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the crowd swimming like fish in the bar.

The author has something to say: [Trailer] This chapter follows the plot, and the next chapter, Mr. Hua Guogui, will appear.
