Chapter 1: Gifts
Songhai City.
At seven thirty in the morning, in the dimly lit room, on the big fluffy bed, Zhang Yuanqing woke up abruptly, covering his head and arching like a shrimp.
Headache as if to crack, head as embedded in the steel needle, pain in the scalp are twitching, so that produced hallucinations, hallucinations, the mind flashes through the chaotic images, ears are all noisy, meaningless noise.
Zhang Yuanqing knew that the old disease had returned.
Trembling, he got up from the bed, pulled open the drawer of the nightstand, shivering, felt the medicine bottle, couldn't wait to unscrew it, poured five or six small blue pills, swallowed them in one gulp.
Then he threw himself back onto the bed, gasping for air and enduring the excruciating pain.
After ten seconds or so, the headache that tore through his soul diminished and then subsided.
"Whew......" Zhang Yuanqing exhaled with a sigh of relief, his head covered in cold sweat.
He had a strange disease when he was in high school, the symptoms of which were his brain uncontrollably recalling all past memories, including forgotten garbage information; uncontrollably collecting information from the outside world and analyzing it; and his brain's control over his body reaching an unbelievable level.
Fortunately, this state couldn't last for too long before it was interrupted due to the body being overwhelmed.
It was because of this ability that he had playfully gotten into Songhai University - a prestigious institution that ranked among the top in the country.
Zhang Yuanqing referred to this state as brain overload, and thought that he might be about to evolve into Superman, but only interrupted frequently because his body couldn't support this evolution.
When he told his doctor about this speculation, the doctor said he couldn't understand it, but was greatly shocked and suggested he visit the psychiatric department downstairs.
In any case, the hospital could not find out the cause of the disease, and then his old mother brought him back from abroad a special medicine, which brought his condition under control, and as long as he took the medicine regularly, he would not have an attack.
"A quasi is last night did not rest well, too tired, all blame Jiang Yu bait, the middle of the night have to come to my room to play the game ......"
Although he said so on his mouth, his heart was quietly heavy, because Zhang Yuanqing knew that the effect of the medicine was starting to weaken, and his illness was getting more and more serious.
"I'll have to increase the dosage of the medicine in the future ......." Zhang Yuanqing put on his cotton slippers and went to the window, 'brushing' the curtain open.
The sunlight scrambled in and filled the room.
It was a bright spring day in April in Songhai City, and the morning breeze that greeted him was cool and cozy.
"Knock knock!"
At this moment, a knock came on the door, and Grandma shouted from outside the door:
"Yuanzi, get up."
"I'm sorry!" Zhang Yuanqing coldly refused, he wanted to sleep back.
Spring was bright and it was the weekend, wouldn't it be a waste of life not to sleep in?
"I'll give you three minutes, if you don't get up I'll splash you awake."
Grandma was even colder.
"Got it Got it ......" Zhang Yuanqing immediately softened.
He knew that his short-tempered grandmother was really capable of doing this.
When Zhang Yuanqing was still in elementary school, his father died in a car accident, and his mother, who had a strong character, did not remarry and brought her son back to Songhai to settle down, leaving him in the care of his grandparents.
She herself plunged headlong into the business, and became a strong woman praised by relatives.
Later, his mother also bought a house, but Zhang Yuanqing did not like the empty flat, still living with grandparents.
Anyway, the mother every morning and evening, every three to five business trips, focusing on the cause of the weekend, even if you do not work overtime, to the meal time is also a takeaway.
He said the most to this son, is "enough money, not enough to talk to mom", a strong mother who can unlimitedly satisfy you financially, sounds very good.
But Zhang Yuanqing always smiled and told his mother, "The pocket money from Grandma and Auntie are enough.
Well, there was also sister-in-law.
The woman who had to come to his room to play games last night was his sister-in-law.
Zhang Yuanqing yawned, unscrewed the door handle of his bedroom and came to the living room.
Grandma's house, counting the common area of one hundred and fifty square meters, when the sale of the old house to purchase this new house, Zhang Yuanqing remembered more than 40,000 per square meter.
Six or seven years past, now the prices of this neighborhood rose to 11 million per square meter, nearly tripled.
Fortunately, Grandpa had the foresight to replace the old house, Zhang Yuanqing can only sleep in the living room, after all, now grown up, can no longer sleep with his sister-in-law.
On the long dining table by the living room, the culprit that gave him a headache was drinking porridge, her pink slippers were bucking and bucking at the bottom of the table.
Her features were delicate and pretty, her rounded goose egg face looked quite sweet, and there was a tear mole at the corner of her right eye.
Because she just woke up, her big, fluffy, messy waves were spread out, giving her a bit more lethargy and flirtatiousness.
His sister-in-law's name was Jiang Yu Bait, four years older than him.
Seeing Zhang Yuanqing come out, his sister-in-law licked a mouthful of porridge and said in surprise:
"Yo, getting up so early, it's not like your style."
"Your mom did this."
"Why are you cursing."
"I'm just being honest."
Zhang Yuanqing scrutinized his sister-in-law's pretty face like a flower, spirited and bright.
It was said that the dark night would not treat those who stayed up late, it would bestow you with dark circles under your eyes, but this law did not seem to work on the woman in front of her.
Grandmother in the kitchen heard the commotion, poked her head out to look, and a few moments later, came out with a bowl of porridge.
Grandmother's ebony hair was laced with silver threads, her eyes were sharp, and she looked like the kind of old lady with a bad temper.
Although the loose skin and shallow wrinkles had robbed her of her splendor, it was vaguely evident that she possessed a good face value in her youth.
Zhang Yuanqing took the congee handed to her by her grandmother, gulped down a mouthful and said:
"Where's Grandpa?"
"Out walking." Grandma said.
Grandpa is a retired old criminal police, even if older, life is still very regular, every night ten must sleep, wake up at six o'clock in the morning.
Pretty sister-in-law sipped her porridge and smiled:
"After breakfast, Auntie will take you to the mall to buy clothes."
Are you that kind? Zhang Yuanqing was about to agree, when his grandmother beside him gave him a murderous cross glance:
"If you dare to go, you'll break the dog's legs."
"Mom, why are you like this." My sister-in-law said with a bitchy face, "I just want to buy Yuanzi a few spring outfits, and you're not happy about it? Although nephew has a foreign word, he's still a relative~"
Grandma said in a forceful voice, "You want to get your dog's legs broken too?"
Auntie bristled and lowered her head to drink congee.
As soon as Zhang Yuanqing heard the game between mother and daughter, he knew that his grandmother was arranging another blind date for his sister-in-law, and his quirky sister-in-law was trying to drag him to stir up the water.
Used to do so, bring nephew to the blind date, sit for a few minutes, social bullheadedness nephew will get the blind date, the two men talk to each other, from the people's livelihood to the world pattern, the whole did not have what she did.
All she had to do was sip her drink and play with her cell phone, and the blind date would also feel happy and self-conscious that he had shown enough social experience and insight in front of the beauty.
Jiang Yu Bait had been delicate and lovely since she was a child, and was the object of compliments from her neighbors, with a high face value, sweet and well-behaved, and very pleasing to her elders.
Such a beautiful daughter, of course, Grandma to guard strictly, reading junior high school on the ear, forbidden to fall in love early, forbidden to go out with male classmates to play.
The youngest daughter really did not let her disappointment, until college graduation has not had a boyfriend, but into society, especially after the 25th birthday at the beginning of the year, Grandma was a bit unable to sit down.
I just do not let you fall in love early, did not let you be a leftover woman ah, women can have a few years of youth?
So she called her old sisters to search for young talents from all over the world, and arranged a blind date for her daughter.
"Grandma ah, she clearly does not want to talk about the object, the strong melon is not sweet." Zhang Yuanqing gnawed on a bun as he said furtively:
"Why don't you arrange a blind date for me? This melon of mine is very sweet."
Grandma said angrily, "You're still young, what's the hurry? The university is full of female classmates, can't you find one yourself? If you make trouble again, I'll beat you up."
Grandma is a southern woman, but her temper is not gentle at all, especially hot.
Even Zhang Yuanqing's mother, who was a career woman, didn't dare to contradict her.
I grew up okay, have been a craftsman for several years ....... Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart.
After breakfast, the sister-in-law, under the strong request of the grandmother, went back to the room to change clothes and make up, and went out on a blind date.
The sister-in-law wore light makeup, which made her look more and more bright and beautiful.
The fluffy round neck knit sweater was paired with a long jacket, and the light-colored narrow-cut jeans wrapped two long legs, well-proportioned and rounded. Narrow pants legs collected in black Martin boots.
Mori simple style dress, not demonic and not flashy, but also particularly exquisite.
Aunt threw him a small "you know" look, carrying a bag, twisting a small waist to go out:
"Mom, I'm going out for a blind date."
Zhang Yuanqing returned to his room and changed into a black T-shirt, an assault suit, and put on his running shoes without any haste.
After a few minutes, he pulled open the bedroom door.
Granny was cleaning in the living room, and when she saw him come out, she stopped what she was doing and looked at him silently.
Zhang Yuanqing learned his sister-in-law's tone:
"Mom, I'm going out for a blind date too."
"Get lost and come back." Grandma raised her broom and threatened, "If you dare to step out of this door, your dog's legs will be broken."
"Okay!" Zhang Yuanqing returned to the bedroom with good intentions.
Sitting at the desk, he held his cell phone and sent a message to his sister-in-law:
"Dying before I can leave the school, I have long made the heroes' tears fill my heart."
"Speak human!"
My sister-in-law, who was supposed to be driving, replied succinctly.
"I've been stopped at home by my grandmother, you'd better go on a blind date yourself."
The sister-in-law sent a voice message.
Zhang Yuanqing clicked on it and Jiang Yu Bait's exasperated voice rang out from the speaker:
"What's the use of having you!!!"
The sister-in-law withdrew a voice and then sent another one, this time changing her tone, dainty and pouty:
"Good nephew, come on, sister-in-law most painful to you, Mua ~"
Heh, women!
You want me to touch Grandma's scales just by pampering her? At least send a red envelope.
At this time, a slightly ear-piercing ringtone came, and Zhang Yuanqing came to the living room, and under Grandma's gaze, pressed the call button of the building intercom, saying:
"Which one!"
"Express."
A voice came from the speaker.
Zhang Yuanqing pressed the door open button, and after an interval of two or three minutes, the uniformed courier boy rode the elevator up the stairs, holding a package in his arms:
"Is this Zhang Yuanqing."
"It's me."
I didn't shop online ah ...... He signed for it with a confused face and glanced at the package information, the package didn't have a sender written on it, but the address was Hangcheng, next door in Jiangnan Province.
He returned to his room, found a paper cutter from his desk drawer, and opened the package.
Inside was a drop-proof air cushion wrapped around a black card and a yellow letter.
Zhang Yuanqing picked up the ID-sized black card, the material seemed to be metal, but it was extremely warm to the touch, the card was very beautifully made, the edge of the card was a shallow silver cloud pattern, and the center round of a black full moon.
The black full moon was printed exquisitely, and the irregular patches on the surface were clearly visible.
What is it? With a puzzled mood, he opened the envelope and unfolded the letter.
"Yuan Zi, I have obtained a very interesting thing, and had thought that it could change my life, but I have limited ability to manage it. I think that if it's you, it shouldn't be a problem.
"Brothers in arms, this is my gift to you.
"Lei Yibing!"
