Rebirth of a Turbulent Life
How should one live? Jiang Yizhou, in his past life, aside from being taught the rules and principles of life by his parents, would sit in some unknown corner, hands resting on his thighs, supporting his head, not fond of talking, simply thinking quietly.
He pondered the meaning of life because beyond doing what his parents taught him to do, life seemed like a blank slate. Studying, achieving good grades, being kind to others—this was the image of a somewhat rigid but also quite amiable bookworm.
But what else? He spent his days aimlessly thinking, wanting to imitate others, beginning to observe and reflect.
In the end, he gained no goals from others, only some life experiences.
And Jiang Yizhou himself gradually became a bit lost, merely striving in the direction of being a person, a son, one of the harmless citizens.
After going through the college entrance examination, he found himself slowly becoming disconnected from others, losing confidence or perhaps shattering the already fragile pride he had. Life inevitably felt somewhat despairing; he even thought there was no need to leave a mark in this world.
Now Jiang Yizhou felt for the first time that something seemed to strongly demand him, needing his existence—a bond he could not deny or evade.
When a man has a family and children, he gradually becomes more stable because there is weight on his shoulders. Life needs an appropriate weight; too heavy can lead to suffocation and collapse, while too light can result in losing oneself and drifting into the thinness of outer space.
For someone who is so insecure that he doesn't want to leave a trace in this world, a blood-related connection ties him to it.
This subtle feeling gave him the thought that perhaps continuing like this wouldn't be so bad after all.
Although he had already planned for a child to carry on his lineage, this unexpected surprise came from the lives of two people; it arrived because of his intentions.
In countless ways, for the reclusive Jiang Yizhou, this was immense joy. He had even begun preparing for the child's name.
Boy or girl? He needed to consider historical references and perhaps even generational titles from the family tree, as well as preparing a grand name.
Somehow flustered, Jiang Yizhou was somewhat agitated. As a new father, although he wasn't sure if the child could safely come into this world, he remained excited like a child himself.
Ailumese: Wait for me
Typing those three words, Jiang Yizhou hurriedly put on his coat and grabbed his things. He informed his new life assistant Xiao Xixi, "I have something to do this afternoon; don't disturb me at all! Cancel all my appointments!"
"Bu... but there's a forum organized by the Information Department this afternoon that you need to attend!" Although Xiao Xixi had been reminded by Director Shen and hadn't had any issues with this young Boss, she still felt a bit intimidated by him since he was, after all, the Boss.
"Let Xiaolong go for me! Isn't he just free at the moment?" After considering who could represent him, it really came down to Zhang Xiaolong and Xu Xin. Xu Xin leaned more towards venture capital and wasn't in the capital right now, so he decided on Zhang Xiaolong.
Xiao Xixi could only nod hesitantly, skillfully straightening the Boss's clothes. Watching him disappear, she couldn't help but frown; the most dreaded thing was this kind of willful Boss!
If you were to force it? It's not workplace sexual harassment; there's no illegal coercion involved. It’s just a normal work situation, but it feels quite troublesome, like a wild horse, thinking whatever comes to mind.
"Dang dang... General Zhang, do you have a moment?" Xiao Xixi, with her doll-like face, knocked on the door.
Zhang Xiaolong, dressed in a plaid shirt paired with a dark wool sweater, was pointing at his subordinates with his finger. Upon seeing the timid assistant at the door, he straightened up with a calm demeanor that others might interpret as being lost in thought. "You need something?"
"Um, the Boss has an urgent matter this afternoon and needs you to attend a forum organized by the Information Department." Feeling the friendly atmosphere, Xiao Xixi also calmed down as she delivered her message.
Zhang Xiaolong frowned again; he was suited for being a professional programmer and usually avoided social engagements whenever possible. As the technical lead, he didn't have many social activities either.
"Isn't Yi Zhou busy? Why the rush?" He asked Xiao Xixi, who suddenly looked scared. Jiang Yizhou knew his personality well and generally wouldn’t pass things off to him.
"I'm not too sure either, but it seems like something good is happening!"
Zhang Xiaolong shook his head and waved his hand. "Alright, I got it. You can go back now!"
He didn’t call Jiang Yizhou right away; their level of trust was quite high between them. They were open with each other. If he was this anxious... could it be that he found a girlfriend?
...
Ailumese: Wait for me
After anxiously waiting for a long time and venting by sending numerous messages in quick succession, Song Rushi felt somewhat relieved upon finally seeing a response from the other side.
He wants me to wait for him? He's coming to my house? Peeking through the door crack and seeing her parents busy in the kitchen, she quickly withdrew her head and closed the door. No way; she needed to go out and intercept him outside.
Seeing the gray network status icon, she gave up on sending a message and instead took out her phone, anxiously watching the movements outside the room while waiting for Jiang Yizhou to answer.
After parking by the roadside, Jiang Yizhou answered the call. Listening to Song Rushi's hurried advice, he laughed and said, "You don't need to come out. Just stay inside. It's windy outside, and your parents should meet each other; otherwise, they'll worry too much!"
With the arrival of the child, even without confirming the situation, Jiang Yizhou had suddenly become generous and casual. The awkwardness of meeting his girlfriend's parents was long forgotten. What would he say to Song Father and Mother Song? Who cared!
Song Rushi felt a bit embarrassed. If they really met, she couldn't handle it. Given how unfiltered men could be, under the guise of being open and honest, there was a high chance he would reveal how they got together.
Although he would surely embellish it, she could imagine Jiang Yizhou saying something absolutely insulting like, "I won't marry your daughter, but I will treat her equally like everyone else." Then her father would grab a ceramic mug and splash water on Jiang Yizhou's face before they started fighting.
It was precisely because of Jiang Yizhou's eccentric personality that she had never dared to tell her family about her situation.
After hearing Jiang Yizhou laugh and hang up the phone, Song Rushi felt that being pregnant really wasn't a big deal. She quickly got dressed and shouted into the kitchen, "Mom and Dad, I have something urgent to take care of. I'll be back soon."
Then she ran to the corner to intercept the "bomb," hoping things wouldn't get any more chaotic!
