Rebirth: Rewriting Youth

Chapter 317 Past Events

"You studied at Jiankang Foreign Language School in high school?" Shen Yu said with some surprise.

"Huh? What's wrong? Any explanation?" Xu Anzhi asked puzzledly.

"Then I'm a little curious. Don't you have a lot of students recommended for admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University every year in your Foreign Languages ​​Department? Why didn't your family help you get a place?" Shen Yu asked Xu Anzhi in surprise.

Hearing Shen Yu's question, Xu Anzhi's expression became a little unnatural.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Anzhi said expressionlessly, "I originally had a quota for Huaqing's foreign language recommendation. But when I was recommended, something happened at home, and I had some minor conflicts with others at school."

After a pause, Xu Anzhi smiled with relief and said generously, "So, in the end, my place was ruined by that person. And my college entrance examination results were average, and my uncle happened to work in Jiankang Finance, so my family discussed and decided to let me come here."

Pursing his lips, Shen Yu asked again: "I remember that many university professors have some recruitment quotas. Have you not started from this aspect? I heard that someone from our high school donated 100 million to Jiankang University, and then he was recruited."

Xu Anzhi smiled and explained, "You call this point recording, which is an illegal operation. Didn't Jiankang Industry make mistakes last year because it recorded too many points?"

"Really? I really didn't know about this." Shen Yu said in surprise.

"My family doesn't have much experience in education. Besides, my father and my family were at the center of controversy at the time, so doing this would have a bad impact." Xu Anzhi said casually.

Although Xu Anzhi described these things very simply, Shen Yu guessed from the details of their interactions that Xu Anzhi's family was in Jiankang, and should be considered a well-connected family.

But even Xu Anzhi could be deprived of the admission quota. One can imagine how deep the entanglement in this matter is. This is not something that someone of Shen Yu's level can handle.

At this moment, Shen Yu was very curious about what had happened, and he also wanted to ask Xu Anzhi what his family did.

But after much hesitation, he still felt that doing so might appear impolite and too abrupt, and might also leave a bad impression on Xu Anzhi.

With a sigh, Shen Yu could only lament: "What a pity! Huaqing is the ultimate goal of scholars."

Xu Anzhi glanced at Shen Yu, took a piece of beef from the pot and dipped it in the sauce dish, and said casually: "It's nothing to regret. It doesn't matter which school the degree is from. It doesn't matter to me. I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. After all, I have relatives at Jiankang Finance, which makes everything easier. Look, I'm the president of the student union now."

Hearing Xu Anzhi's slightly Versailles words, Shen Yu was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He could only raise his empty left hand, make a six gesture, and said with a smile: "Old iron 666!"

"666? Does it mean very smooth?" Xu Anzhi looked at Shen Yu with curiosity and asked with a smile.

"Yes, it means great and extremely powerful." Shen Yu replied with a smile.

Xu Anzhi looked at Shen Yu twice and nodded.

After that, the two of them tacitly stopped discussing the college entrance examination and school, and instead started talking about hot pot and delicacies from all over the country.

Although Shen Yu had never traveled far in his previous life, he had followed Chen Hang around since he was a child and had eaten a lot of delicious food.

Not to mention that later when Chen Hang traveled around the country on projects, he would always try the local delicacies and then send photos to share his experience with Shen Yu.

So when talking about this topic with Xu Anzhi, who has been to many places, Shen Yu often used my friend's excuse to talk about this, and the two of them chatted back and forth. Shen Yu, who is not used to drinking whiskey, also frequently clinked glasses with Xu Anzhi.

In this warm, pleasant and life-filled atmosphere, with the help of alcohol and hot pot, and watching Xu Anzhi who was obviously talking more than usual, Shen Yu felt that the relationship between them had become more familiar.

When the hot pot was almost over, Shen Yu noticed that Xu Anzhi would occasionally touch his stomach with his hands, and his brows would slightly frown from time to time. "What's wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?" Shen Yu asked with concern.

"Maybe I ate too much oil today and I have some indigestion." Xu Anzhi said with a smile.

"Are you okay? Do you want me to buy you some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets?" Shen Yu asked hurriedly.

"No need." Xu Anzhi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I've had a bad stomach since I was a child. I'm used to it. I can just relax on my own."

"No, you have a bad stomach, why did you drink so much wine? And you added so much ice. What are you thinking about?" Shen Yu frowned and blurted out involuntarily.

Hearing Shen Yu's slightly blaming tone, Xu Anzhi was also stunned for a moment. However, when he looked up and saw the concern in Shen Yu's eyes, his heart couldn't help but warm up.

"Okay, I'll just take it easy for a while." Xu Anzhi replied with a smile.

"Don't drink anymore, and don't eat hotpot anymore." Shen Yu turned off the induction cooker and stood up and said.

Walking to the refrigerator, he opened the door and looked in the fresh-keeping room. Shen Yu took out two lemons and looked at them. The skin didn't look too dark. He opened the package and smelled it, and there was still a faint fragrance.

"I'll make you a cup of hot lemon tea. It can help to relieve the greasiness and warm your stomach." Shen Yu said as he closed the refrigerator door.

Seeing that Shen Yu had already walked towards the kitchen on his own, Xu Anzhi smiled helplessly and said, "Then thank you for your help. I'll go to the balcony and lie down for a while."

"Well, go ahead." Shen Yu responded.

He boiled water in a pot and cut lemons into slices. Shen Yu then went to the small room where all the raw materials were kept to look for the duck shit-scented tea leaves.

Originally Shen Yu wanted to use classic black tea, but he thought that the black tea he bought was not a good one, so he used the duck shit fragrant tea which was very popular in later generations.

The price of 10-year-old duck shit fragrant tea leaves is far from as cheap as it is in later generations. Moreover, the small package of duck shit fragrant tea leaves in the small room has not been used yet because Shen Yu has no plans to put hand-beaten lemon tea on the shelves in the short term.

Put the tea leaves in a gauze bag, put it into the pot and boil it, then add lemon and a little brown sugar, and cook on low heat for about ten minutes.

While the tea was being boiled, Shen Yu washed the cup he usually used carefully, then poured a cup of hot water into it and brought it to the balcony.

"Are you feeling better? How about some hot water first?" Shen Yu put the cup on the coffee table beside him, then looked at Xu Anzhi who was lying on the recliner with his legs crossed and said, "The lemon tea will take a while. I'm the only one who has used this cup, and I just washed it."

"It's okay." Xu Anzhi looked up and smiled slightly, then reached out to take the teacup and said.

Under the soft moonlight and warm yellow lights, Shen Yu felt that Xu Anzhi's slightly drunk face with a faint blush seemed to be embedded in the night. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with the charm of drunkenness, and the smile on her face became more charming, with a hint of sweet laziness, which made people involuntarily indulge in it and unable to extricate themselves.

For a moment, Shen Yu looked a little dazed.

"Hoohoohoo."

Shen Yu finally came to his senses after hearing the sound of Xu Anzhi blowing. After a brief moment of embarrassment, he found that Xu Anzhi didn't notice him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the kitchen, saying, "I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."
