Chapter 3 Back to Six Years Ago

The cash in Yu Lang's wallet was all taken and put in by Tang Jialin from the bank. How could there be counterfeit money?
He went to the counter with the waiter and watched them go through the banknote detector again, and it actually reminded them of counterfeit currency.

Seeing that the waiter and cashier looked more and more strange, Yu Lang randomly stuffed three banknotes back into his wallet, drew out a credit card, and said, "Swipe the card."

The cashier took it over to swipe the POS machine. Yu Lang entered the password and waited patiently for more than ten seconds. The cashier raised his head: "Sir, it reminds you that the status of the card is abnormal, and the payment failed."

"How is it possible? I used it just now." Yu Lang really suspected that someone was playing a prank on him, so he couldn't help looking behind the counter, but found nothing unusual.

The cashier saw that he was neatly dressed, with a famous watch on his wrist, and a luxury brand logo on his wallet. He was dressed like a rich man, and his attitude was so determined, so he said, "How about I try again? It may be the bank There is a fault over there, if it doesn’t work, you can change a card.”

Then what else to try? "Use this one." Yu Lang directly changed a card.

Half a minute later, the cashier: "...This card also indicates that the status of the card is abnormal."

Yu Lang laughed angrily: "It's impossible for all banks to malfunction, right?"

The cashier was also helpless: "...how about scanning the code with your mobile phone?"

He just couldn't find his phone... That's right, where is his phone?Yu Lang looked around the coffee shop and found the table he had been lying on before, but there was nothing on it.

"Did you see who came with me?" Yu Lang asked back.

The previous waiter was already receiving other guests. Hearing him ask, he felt that there might indeed be something wrong with this guest who had been drinking in broad daylight.

"Isn't sir with those two just now?" the waiter asked with a frown.

"..."

I still had to go to Tang Jialin to find out what was going on. Yu Lang found a savings card he had used the longest from his wallet, and finally settled the bill.

Walking out of the coffee shop, there was a square with people coming and going. Yu Lang felt that this place was both familiar and strange, and he felt very strange. After walking around, he finally knew where the strange feeling came from.

This is Ruilin Plaza, the shopping center with the largest traffic in the old city. When he first returned to China, the Hengfeng Trading Company that his father arranged for him to practice—the same company that Tang Jialin just mentioned—is nearby.

But the problem is that Kylin Plaza has long since declined due to the impact of e-commerce on physical stores. When he passed by a few months ago, the stores on the first floor were not only one grade lower than what he saw now, and the whole building The exterior of the mall is not as old as he saw at the time.

Could it be that Kylin Plaza has attracted new investment and refurbished to attract investment?

No, the shopping mall may be refurbished, but it is difficult for people to regain their youth. Yu Lang thought of Tang Jialin he saw just now, no matter her hairstyle or face, they were very similar to when they reunited in Hengfeng...

As well as the money that couldn't be spent and the card that couldn't be swiped just now, a terrible conjecture vaguely appeared in Yu Lang's mind, but he suppressed it before it took shape.

Let's find someone to borrow his mobile phone to make a call, Yu Lang thought so, but he was used to being aloof, so he couldn't ask for help for a while, so he simply walked into the mall and asked the staff to borrow it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I saw a large movie poster head-on-there is a movie theater on the top floor of Ruilin Plaza. It is not surprising to hang movie posters. There is also a movie theater ticket counter, and there are even people inside the counter.

Now everyone buys tickets on the APP, and few people go to the cinema to buy tickets. The counters on the first floor for customers to buy tickets have long been removed. That guess came back to his mind, and Yu Lang took a deep breath. Walk over slowly.

"Sir, do you want to watch a movie?" the conductor asked enthusiastically.

"Which one is the new movie?"

The conductor pointed to the screen: "The ones above are all newly released yesterday."

Yu Lang saw that the blockbuster movie on the poster was ranked first, and he still refused to believe it. He stretched out his finger on the poster and said, "Is this movie also new yesterday? Why do I feel like it's already been on it?"

"You may have misremembered. This is a new movie. Even overseas, it is only a week earlier than our domestic one. Tickets are selling very fast now. If you want to watch it, you can buy it at [-]:[-] at the earliest."

Yu Lang didn't hear the second half of her sentence at all, his mind was full of: He actually had a drink, and suddenly went back in time!It's not the so-called rebirth back to when I was young, but with a 29-year-old body, I went straight to the year of 23!
Looking at his shirt sleeves rolled up in the bar box, Yu Lang still couldn't believe that he would encounter such a fantasy thing.

"How many do you want, sir?"

Yu Lang raised his head slowly: "Don't buy it yet, my wife hasn't come yet." After a pause, he asked again, "Can I borrow your mobile phone for a while? I can't find it. Maybe there are too many people outside. gone."

The conductor showed sympathy, handed him his mobile phone, and said, "Recently, a lot of people have their mobile phones touched in the square outside. You can report the case to the police booth at the east gate in a while, and you may be able to find them."

Yu Langdao thanked, took the mobile phone and dialed Tang Jialin's number - her mobile phone number has not been changed in these years, it should be connected, after three beeps, her voice really came from the receiver: "Hi, you good?"

"It's me." Yu Lang said this habitually, only to remember that Tang Jialin said she didn't know him in the coffee shop just now, so she quickly reported her name, "Yu Lang, where are you?"

"Who? Wait a minute, I'm a bit noisy here..."

Yu Lang also heard that her side was noisy, so he waited patiently. Unexpectedly, only a few seconds later, he saw Tang Jialin walking in through the door he had just entered.

He immediately hung up the phone and returned it to the conductor: "Thank you, my wife is here."

After finishing speaking, he turned around to call Tang Jialin, but just as he opened his mouth, a male voice came from in front of him: "Tang Jialin?"

"..." Could it be that blind date man Teacher Zhang again?Yu Lang frowned, but he was a taller and more handsome young man than Mr. Zhang.

"Brother Fang?"

Tang Jialin's tone was full of surprise, and Yu Lang straightened his teeth. He opened his long legs and wanted to go up first. Who knew that Tang Jialin had greeted that person, so he quickened his pace and almost trotted to the so-called Senior Brother Fang.

"Long time no see. I heard that you work nearby, and I've been wanting to ask you out for dinner. Unfortunately, I've been too busy recently..."

Yu Lang followed Tang Jialin, and when he heard the man surnamed Fang talking, he sneered in his heart: "Damn it, it's not like he's a person with a lot of things to do every day, and he doesn't even have time to eat? He just doesn't want to make an appointment."

Tang Jialin was not stupid, so she definitely wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense.

But I heard Tang Jialin say: "I heard that Senior Brother Fang is now working as a counselor and has to guide students. He is very busy..."

She was really stupid, Yu Lang approached with a sullen face, Tang Jialin turned her back to him and didn't notice it, but Fang noticed it and cast his gaze at him.

"You... Yu Lang?" The surname Fang showed surprise.

Tang Jialin turned her head and saw Yu Lang, she immediately took two steps back to Senior Brother Fang, and asked, "Yu Lang? You called me just now?"

Yu Lang didn't answer her, and asked Fang instead: "Do you know me?"

"You, you are so forgetful. I, Fang Zijun, have you forgotten your school basketball team teammates?" Fang Zijun took two steps forward, and stretched out his right hand with a pleasant smile, "That year in the inter-school basketball game, we took the fourth middle school next door. Do you always remember the story of crying?"

"Ah," Yu Lang remembered who this person was, he shook hands with the other party perfunctorily, and said slowly, "Remember, I also treated you to a barbecue after the game."

"Yes. When did you come back? I heard from Haowen that you were going to return to China, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Yu Lang glanced at Tang Jialin who was standing behind Fang Zijun with a dazed look, who seemed to have finally remembered who he was, and sneered, "You are very well informed."

"I also had dinner with Haowen a few days ago, and I heard him talk about it."

Fang Zijun repeatedly mentioned that Haowen, surnamed Jiang, is Yu Lang's good friend and the only high school classmate he still has contact with so far—29 years old.

I can't count the number of classmates who have tried to get in touch with him through Jiang Haowen these years. This one, Yu Lang doesn't remember Jiang Haowen mentioning it to him, obviously has a mediocre relationship, and he just used Jiang Haowen's name to get close to him. .

"You have time to have dinner with him." Yu Lang looked at Tang Jialin with a meaningful smile, "Just now I seemed to hear you saying that you were very busy?"

Tang Jialin was taken aback, and Fang Zijun finally remembered that there was another person behind him. He smiled awkwardly, and turned around and said, "That day, some students from other places came to play, and some of our male students got together. Junior sister, do you remember Yu Lang? "

After asking, he suddenly remembered that Tang Jialin seemed to be saying something on the phone just now, and turned around with some doubts: "Have you been in touch all the time?"

"No!" Tang Jialin quickly replied, "I made a mistake, it was just a harassing call."

Yu Lang was about to laugh angrily for being so resolute and decisive.

"Ah, then you..." Fang Zijun felt that the atmosphere seemed a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he had to find a topic, "I remember you are not in the same class, right?"

He was one year ahead of Tang Jialin and Yu Lang. In his impression, Tang Jialin was in the liberal arts class and Yu Lang was in the science class.

"It's really not," Yu Lang answered first, "Aren't you too? Why do you look familiar?"

"Junior Sister Tang and I participated in the speech contest together, which can be regarded as a 'comrade-in-arms' friendship." Fang Zijun laughed while talking, "Hey, let's find a place to sit down and chat? Do you have anything to do later?"

Yu Lang didn't answer, but looked at Tang Jialin.

Tang Jialin hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have nothing to do, just go shopping."

Yu Lang sneered, Tang Jialin glared at him angrily, but held back and said nothing.

"You're fine, I have something to do with you." Yu Lang pushed away Fang Zijun who was still standing in the middle, and walked up to Tang Jialin, "Just now at the coffee shop..."

Tang Jialin stared nervously, but Yu Lang stopped and looked back at Fang Zijun.

Although Fang Zijun didn't know the situation, he was very savvy, and he said, "I almost forgot, I was put on a pigeon, and my movie ticket hasn't been refunded yet, so let's talk first."

Yu Lang watched as Tang Jialin opened her mouth to stop Fang Zijun, but in the end she didn't make a sound. She just gave him another hard look, and the burning jealousy in her heart suddenly doubled.

"Don't tell me, you like him." Yu Lang gritted his teeth with sourness and said.

Fang Zijun was not there, Tang Jialin responded directly: "What's the matter with you?"

Is this a default or an insult?Yu Lang thought about the details in his memory, why he was unwilling to admit that it was the former, and then asked: "When you were in the second year of high school, you ran to our fourth floor to see him?"

"Why don't you look at you? Pervert." Tang Jialin rolled her eyes fiercely, turned her head and left.
