A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1457 The Man God Gave You! (Please Subscribe!)

Sunlight streamed through the window onto her face, and Gu Xiaojiao's eyelids twitched. She struggled to open her eyes, only to be met with a severe headache from her hangover.

Surrounded by her familiar home, she gave a bitter smile. She couldn't even remember how she got home yesterday; all she remembered was buying a dozen beers and drowning her sorrows on the street after being scammed.

Thinking about how she had been swindled out of all her savings yesterday, Gu Xiaojiao felt that her life was a complete mess.

"what"

Gu Xiaojiao kicked her legs wildly on the bed, suddenly becoming frantic even though she had just woken up.

This action exacerbated her hangover headache, and she hissed. Her intense emotions subsided, but her frantic actions were replaced by soft sobs.

"Why am I so unlucky? Everyone else is married by thirty, but I'm thirty and I have no house, no car, I've never even had a boyfriend, I don't even know what it's like to be with a man. All I want is to get my house back, why is it so hard?"

"Waaaaah, I'm already thirty years old. In another two years, forget about owning a house, I'll be unwanted by anyone. God, what do you want from me?"

Gu Xiaojiao cried twice, then turned over, intending to change her position. But as soon as she turned around, she saw a handsome guy propping his head up with one hand, lying on his side behind her, with an expression of barely suppressed laughter on his face, looking at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

When she looked over, the handsome guy even greeted her:
"Hey, God has granted your wish, come on, let me let you taste the flavor of a man!"

Gu Xiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then rubbed her eyes hard and pinched her face. The pain brought her back to her senses, and she realized that this was not an illusion or a dream.

"Ah!" she screamed in terror, instinctively reaching out to slap Hua Twelve across the face.

Hua Shier rolled out of bed, dodging Gu Xiaojiao's attack.

Gu Xiaojiao pointed at Hua Shier's muscular upper body, then at his shorts, her eyes widening: "Ah!"

Hua Twelve said speechlessly:

"Never seen it before, Black Cat Detective, what's there to call him!"

Okay, Wu Shanshan bought his shorts for him. Although the two of them didn't have a physical relationship yet, Wu Shanshan still wanted Hua Shier to have her marks all over his body.

Black Cat Detective was a very popular cartoon character in mainland China in the 1980s, so you know what I mean.

Gu Xiaojiao looked down at herself and realized that although she was dressed lightly, she still had her bottom line. She felt herself and made sure that she had not been violated, which reassured her a lot.

Immediately filled with shock and anger, he turned around, grabbed a clothes hanger from his clothes rack, pointed it at Hua Twelve, and shouted:
"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Hua Shier's nonchalant and indifferent attitude, then looked at the clothes hanger in her hand and felt that it was a bit unreliable and had no deterrent effect. She turned around and took a kitchen knife from her kitchen, and only then did she feel much more at ease.

She gripped the kitchen knife with both hands, pointed it at Hua Twelve, and shouted, her voice trembling with fear:
"Get out of here! I'm calling the police! I...I...I'm not going to kill you! Get out of here now!"

Hua Shier leisurely put on his t-shirt and pointed to his apartment:
"Please, look around, this is my house, how am I supposed to get out!"

Gu Xiaojiao then realized something was wrong. The decoration of the opposite room was clearly not the style of her rental apartment, and the furniture seemed to be solid wood and looked very expensive, except that the TV in the living room was a bit old.

A look of astonishment crossed her face. She turned and looked around, only to find that her house was still there, but at some point it had been connected to the house on the other side. The place where the two rooms were connected was where the two large beds were located, and the bathroom was in a straight line.

"Where's the wall?"

Gu Xiaojiao stared wide-eyed and asked Hua Shier.

Hua Shier shrugged: "Don't ask me, I don't know anything. All I know is that I was sleeping last night, and then you opened the door and came in, lying in my arms. I called you, but you didn't wake up, and you even blew bubbles. What could I do? I could only hold you and continue sleeping. Anyway, it was quite comfortable!"

Gu Xiaojiao, holding a knife in one hand and scratching her hair with the other, looked frantic and pointed at Hua Shier, cursing:
"You pervert!"

Hua Twelve immediately became displeased and said:
"That's enough! Bin state is already perverted, and you add the word 'dead' to it. No, ptooey, Bin state is no good either, you're the one who's Bin state!"

Gu Xiaojiao pointed at him and said:

"You still say you're not in a bad mood? Then why don't you hold me and sleep with me all night? Even if I'm too drunk to wake up, you could at least leave."

Hua Shier pursed his lips:

"That's my bed, why should I leave? Besides, you lay down here by yourself, what's it to me!"

Seeing that Gu Xiaojiao was still trying to argue, Hua Shier pointed at her body:

"You call others 'Bin-like'? You're wearing a bikini and arguing with me first thing in the morning, all white and blinding. I think you're the one who's 'Bin-like'!"

Gu Xiaojiao looked down and realized what was happening. She screamed and quickly hid to change her clothes.

When she changed her clothes and carefully walked out carrying a kitchen knife, she saw Hua Shier holding a can of beer, drinking it while looking out the window.

As if sensing Gu Xiaojiao's gaze, Hua Shier turned his head and waved the beer in his hand at her, praising:

"The beer is good, remember to buy this brand again next time!"

Gu Xiaojiao then realized that Hua Shier was drinking the beer she had bought.

"You're in my house, and you're drinking my beer?"

Hua Shier walked to the other side of the house: "So now, I can drink your beer in my own home, is that alright?"

Gu Xiaojiao's eyes twitched. She was about to lose her temper and kick the other person out first, but then she noticed the window behind Hua Shier and her eyes narrowed.

Then he suddenly turned his head to look out the window behind him, and then quickly turned back to look out the window behind Hua Shier.

"This...this..."

Her expression was one of surprise and uncertainty, because outside the window behind Hua Shier was a torrential downpour, while outside the window on Gu Xiaojiao's side, the sun was shining brightly.

Okay, yesterday was a rainy day in 2018, and today it's sunny. But yesterday was sunny in 1988, and today it's pouring rain.

Gu Xiaojiao quickly walked to the window next to Hua Shier. Of course, when she brushed past him, she still held the knife and was very careful, for fear that Hua Shier would have malicious intentions towards her.

When she looked out the window, Gu Xiaojiao was struck dumb, standing there in front of the window, her hand holding the kitchen knife unconsciously falling down.

The world outside the window is like a faded old photograph, familiar yet strange.

On both sides are old-style residential buildings, five or six stories high, with mottled marks on the walls and protruding iron chimneys, exuding a strong sense of age.

Most pedestrians were wearing raincoats from the last century and hurried past on bicycles.

A fashionable woman with big, wavy hair, holding an umbrella in one hand, quickly walked past the window, her high heels darting around puddles, and got into a Shanghai-brand car that had come to pick her up.

On Harbin Road, just a few dozen meters away, there was no heavy flow of motor vehicles, only bicycles, which formed a slowly moving river in the rain.

The green sign of the corner grocery store is handwritten, and in the distance, a huge red banner with the slogan "Marching Towards the Four Modernizations" is very eye-catching even in the heavy rain.

What made Gu Xiaojiao's breath catch in her throat was the huge open space at the end of her field of vision, and the scaffolding and cranes standing on it.

That place should have been a modern office building, but now it's just a construction site with the outline of a building.

She turned her head sharply to look at the window on her side. The 2018 sun was bright and dazzling. She ran over, and outside the window was the familiar scenery—the same streets, only many of the buildings had changed, and the pedestrians were dressed in the style appropriate for this era.

Turning around abruptly, I saw rain pattering against the window on the other side, making the old scenery outside even more blurry and unreal.

Just a window apart, two worlds.

With a clatter, the kitchen knife slipped from her hand and fell to the floor. Gu Xiaojiao's face turned deathly pale, and she asked Hua Twelve:

"What exactly is going on?"

Her voice was terribly dry, almost sounding like her own, "And who are you?"

It wasn't a dream, it wasn't a hallucination; that dizzying feeling of disorientation was a thousand times more intense than a hangover, and it truly gripped her.

Hua Shier didn't answer her question immediately. Instead, he looked at the kitchen knife on the ground and the paint chipped off the floor by the blade, and patted his chest:

"Luckily, the cleaver fell on your side. My house was just renovated, and the flooring is Italian!"

Gu Xiaojiao was furious and pointed to both sides, saying:

"How can you be so oblivious? Do you even know what's going on?"

Hua Shier nodded and said:

"I know, you complain to God that you're thirty and still not married, have never had a boyfriend, and have never experienced the pleasures of a man, and then God gives you a man and me a woman. Remember to call me husband, and I'll call you wife!"

Gu Xiaojiao's eyes widened. For a moment, she even doubted whether it was really true. She was also extremely embarrassed. All her nonsense had been heard by others, and she felt an urge to face everyone.

But she quickly realized what she meant: "You just said you saw me last night, what nonsense are you spouting?"

She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly seemed to understand something and tentatively asked:
"You guys aren't some kind of TV show crew, are you? Like those foreign prank shows where you take down my walls while I'm not home, then set up a stage to fool me, and then use hidden cameras to film my real reactions, right?"

Gu Xiaojiao found the explanation increasingly convincing and even began searching for hidden cameras. It wasn't that she was stupid, but rather that she couldn't explain what was happening in front of her except for that reason.

Hua Shier walked to the door and opened one side of it:
"Whether it's a set or not, come out and see for yourself!"

Gu Xiaojiao agreed with this and went outside. She stood side by side with Hua Shier under the awning, looking out at the vast world. Shock was written all over her face. She didn't even care that her T-shirt was soaked by the rain.

Because she finally discovered that what was outside was not a stage set, but a real scene from the last century.

What year is this?

"1988!"

"1988?"

"Yeah, 1988, what are you shouting? If others hear you, they'll think you're an idiot!"

"You're the idiot!"

Gu Xiaojiao felt that Hua Shier hadn't figured out the situation yet, so she pulled him into the room, reopened her own door, and the next moment, the sun was shining brightly, without a drop of rain falling.

She pulled Hua Shier out of the room:
"See? Don't be too surprised by what I'm about to say. This is 2018, which is thirty years from now on your side!"

After Gu Xiaojiao finished speaking, she stared at Hua Shier's expression, wanting to see how shocked he would be. But Hua Shier took another sip of beer.
"Oh, thirty years is thirty years, so what?"

"What's wrong? Are all Northeasterners so thick-skinned? Aren't you shocked?"

Because of her accent, she subconsciously assumed that Hua Shier was from Northeast China.

Hua Shier corrected, "I'm from Suzhou in this life, but I was from Northeast China in my past life!"

Gu Xiaojiao slapped her forehead. She now suspected that this guy wasn't just oblivious, he was a complete lunatic!
Suddenly she realized:
"No, this kind of thing would terrify ordinary people. How come you haven't reacted at all? Tell me, is this related to you?"

Hua Shier found it amusing; this girl wasn't completely stupid, but she pretended to be confused.

"What relationship?"

Gu Xiaojiao pressed, "If it has nothing to do with you, why aren't you surprised? Anyone would be surprised!"

Hua Shier sipped his beer and said calmly:
"I'm not surprised because I was already surprised yesterday, how many more times do I have to be surprised!"

"You already knew yesterday?"

"Ah, right, I found out yesterday morning. I even went around this area and sat for a while in front of a bank. I saw a silly girl who got scammed out of 30,000 yuan by a potato seller!"

Hua Shieryue said that Gu Xiaojiao looked shocked, as if she had seen a ghost:
You saw me yesterday?

"Yeah, how could you be so naive? That guy was obviously a scammer. You could have done so much better with that money!"

Gu Xiaojiao felt like she was going to collapse, screaming and grabbing her hair: "Ah, why didn't you remind me!"

A female neighbor passed by and craned her neck to look in their direction: "Xiao Jiao, are you alright? Did someone bully you?"

Hua Shier smiled and waved at his wary female neighbor:
"It's nothing, Auntie, my girlfriend is just being a little temperamental!"

Seeing their attire, the aunt smiled understandingly and pointed at Hua Twelve, saying:

"Black Cat Detective, he was so trendy back then!"

Hua Shier lowered her head, embarrassed, and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Auntie, take care, Auntie won't see you off."

Then he dragged the still-frustrated Gu Xiaojiao back home, closed the door, and shut out the aunt who had teased him in 2018. Married women are really fierce; he couldn't even handle her gaze.

Once inside, Hua Shier ignored Gu Xiaojiao and quickly put his pants back on, then hid the Black Cat Sheriff.

After Gu Xiaojiao came in, she sat on the bed, pondered for a moment, and said to Hua Shier, who was getting dressed:

"You should move out!"

Hua Shier zipped up his pants and turned around: "I bought this house, why should I move out!"

Gu Xiaojiao was taken aback: "You're the landlord? No, wait, the landlord is an old lady!"

Hua Shier took out the property certificate and threw it at the other party. Gu Xiaojiao glanced at it and then believed that the former was the owner of the house.

"If anyone's going to move out, it's you. I bought this house anyway, and I'm planning to live here!"

When Hua Shier asked her to leave, he wasn't really serious; he knew Gu Xiaojiao had nowhere to go.

Sure enough, the latter hesitated and said, "No, I have nowhere to go. Besides, although I don't know what the problem is, you're not my landlord. If I move out, the landlord will have to find a new tenant. Otherwise, I'll just... or I'll just have to make do here?"
