Chapter 231 The pain of breaking up?
There was a palm-sized pot on the induction cooker, with bubbles bubbling out of it. Chen Yuan took a spoon and poured cold water into it to extinguish the overflowing foam.
He served the bowl of noodles with two poached eggs and brought it to the table. The porcelain bowl was so hot that he shook his hands hard.
When moving, the storage box of pots and pans accidentally fell to the ground. Chen Yuan wrapped himself in a towel and picked out a usable bowl from a pile of sharp debris.
Leaving a familiar place again, you have to adapt to everything again.
Chen Yuan picked up the noodles, puffed out his cheeks and looked around. This was a new apartment he had rented. The space was not big, but very cozy.
That day, the two sisters finally failed to keep Chen Yuan.
After he firmly expressed that reconciliation was not an option, Jiang Ning disappointedly stopped her sister from continuing to stop her and took the initiative to move away from blocking the door.
He moved all his things to this place, a serviced apartment not far from Lanjing University. The service was very good. He could call a nanny to clean the room with just one click, and the sound insulation was also excellent.
There is a swimming pool and a gym downstairs, and most of the living facilities are available.
Men break up differently than women.
After two days of thinking, Chen Yuan no longer felt sad, but the images that appeared in his mind from time to time still stimulated his emotions.
It's bearable during the day, but the torment really begins when you're alone at night.
Solving this problem is just as simple.
That is to keep yourself in contact with the outside world at all times, so that you are too busy to be sad, and you won’t feel uncomfortable.
Of course, Chen Yuan also knew that he didn't feel sad only because the aftereffects of the breakup had not yet worn off.
According to the information he searched, when a boy faces a failure in love, it is like having a thorn stuck in his flesh that cannot be pulled out. He can only grind it out with flesh and blood. This process takes a long time, and he has to endure the feeling of the thorn in his flesh for a long time.
Keep going until you meet the next right person.
In any case, the farce is over.
Now, as a young college student, he is planning to make a full recovery. Just as he said before in front of Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao, it is time to cheer up and embrace his new life.
From now on, I will be single again and regain my vitality.
The greatest advantage of a person's life is that he has plenty of time to try countless things and never has to worry about neglecting his lover and having to go back to coax him/her.
Losing an identity meant losing a responsibility, and he felt relieved.
Chen Yuan took a bite of the slippery fried egg, picked up his mobile phone habitually and opened the green bubble.
His body suddenly stiffened.
He suddenly realized that he had deleted Jiang Yao's contact information and would no longer receive any news from his girlfriend. Perhaps he should try to change his habit of constantly checking his phone.
Chen Yuan laughed derisively.
After finishing the noodles, Chen Yuan put down his chopsticks, picked up the shoulder bag at the entrance and went out.
He drove to a private sports stadium in Lanjing and reversed the car under the direction of a gray-haired old man in the parking lot.
"fall!"
"fall!"
"fall!"
Chen Yuan backed up for a long time and saw in the rearview mirror that he was about to hit the wall. The reversing radar was beeping and the old man was shouting with the command flag.
He was just wondering when suddenly a young man with a flat head came running over in a hurry.
There was a knock on the glass.
After lowering the window, the guy hurriedly apologized.
"I'm sorry, sir. This old man lives on the street next door. He has a bit of dementia and often fantasizes that he is a traffic policeman."
After saying that, the young man stiffened his neck, cursed twice, and chased the old man away.
Chen Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He parked the car, picked up his backpack and went to the front desk on the first floor.
He had only noticed yesterday that there was a sports stadium here. It was surrounded by lush trees and one could not see what was inside from the street. There were a few big red characters embedded on the east side of the building and one could tell from the area that it was a high-end venue.
After entering the parking lot, Chen Yuan became even more certain because his Mercedes was considered one of the cheaper models.
Rows and rows of Maybach, Panamera, Lexus LS, and Land Rover, each one majestically occupying the parking spaces.
Chen Yuan was not stage-shy. He just wanted to find a particularly comfortable sports venue that wasn't like a gym that was filled with the smell of sweat.
He has figured it out. If he has money, he has to spend it. If he keeps giving to others like a fool, he will still end up being cheated in the end.
In this world, everyone must first learn to love themselves before loving others. This is the healthy view of love.
Your family has the conditions, but you still go there to suffer, isn't that cheap?
As soon as the thought came to him, Chen Yuan's twisted heart finally felt much more relaxed. He took out the bank card given by his biological father from his schoolbag. He had never touched the living expenses in the card, and it was estimated that it would be enough for him to spend lavishly for a while.
"Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"
This high-end place is indeed different. The girl at the front desk was wearing an expensive sportswear, a lavender top, a high ponytail, and had a bright smile.
The waves were surging, revealing a trembling whiteness.
"This is my first time here. How do you charge for meals? Do you charge by time or something?"
"Well, sir, you are here. We are a sports gym co-founded by a global sports brand and a local gym. We offer membership and stored-value consumption. Drinks, meals and other services in the gym are all free."
"Oh, how much is the membership?"
"Gold membership is 80000 per year, platinum 120000, and diamond 240000."
"Seize the young master!?"
"Haha... don't be too surprised, sir. You can also try to apply for a quarter of gold membership, it only costs 28888."
"Miss, you are not talking about happy beans, right?"
Chen Yuan was indeed stunned. He thought this place was expensive, but he didn't expect the consumption level to be this high. What's more, he wouldn't come here every day, and it would be a huge loss to sign up for a quarterly membership.
The receptionist saw Chen Yuan so surprised, probably because she had never been to such a private place.
But it does look pretty good.
She immediately felt like teasing him.
"Of course not, sir. I see you are here to play badminton with your bag. We have a small venue where you can try it for free, but it's not open yet."
"What time does it open?"
"The key is in my hand. If you add me on WeChat, I might consider letting you in." She tilted her head, her ponytail swaying slightly.
Chen Yuan originally had a good impression of the receptionist with a pretty smile, but when these words came out, he immediately felt that the other party was a servant.
"That's not necessary. At least tell me what the membership benefits are. They should be worth at least that much money."
"Of course, we have signed contracts with top nutritionists, sports coaches, retired athletes from the national team, and many dedicated sparring partners. Members are given points, which can be used for sparring partners... I'll give you a list of specific benefits."
Chen Yuan was so angry that he pulled the list over to look at it. Just based on these, he couldn't do this...
"You also give away 15 days of skiing experience every year?"
"some."
“Can I also experience rally racing?”
"Correct!"
Chen Yuan took the card out of his pocket with a blank expression. He felt that he should correct his frugal habits, otherwise he would not be able to spend all his living expenses in decades.
This time it was the young lady's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect that this young man who looked like a handsome college student actually had the money to apply for membership.
She took the card with some doubt and asked, "Are you sure you want to apply for it?" After getting an affirmative answer, she opened a gold membership for Chen Yuan.
After the success, the receptionist became more enthusiastic.
This is not something that students from ordinary families can afford.
"I'll lead the way for you."
"You don't need to serve other guests?" "No problem, someone will temporarily replace me... By the way, sir, didn't you bring any friends with you?"
"No, alone."
"Then do you need a badminton partner? The free points have been deposited into your account."
"This is acceptable."
The front desk clerk handed over an iPad, and on the screen were a group of young ladies, each of them was fair-skinned, pretty, and young.
Click on any one and there will be a detailed introduction on the left.
Chen Yuan picked one he liked. Judging from the data, she is a long-legged sister. In terms of appearance, she looks a bit like a Hong Kong star from the last century.
Not long after, the sparring partner, who was wearing gray over-the-knee socks and a sports outfit with a round figure, came over with a racket. She walked into the door and looked at Chen Yuan who was looking for a racket on the side.
"Mr. Chen, are you ready to exercise with me?"
The sparring sister blinked, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks.
……
After playing badminton for a whole morning and sweating profusely, Chen Yuan completely forgot the shadow of his broken heart. Moreover, this sparring partner was very talkative and had great athletic talent.
Every time she jumped up to catch the ball and fell down, Chen Yuan felt embarrassed to watch.
The two talked about a lot, from college to food, and then to which delicious restaurants there are in the local area.
Then we went to play tennis.
Chen Yuan was so tired that he drank two or three bottles of mineral water. When he was resting on a chair nearby, the girl came over and wiped his sweat, which made his face red and he kept waving his hands.
Near noon, he took a shower, dried his hair, changed his clothes, walked out of the gym, and drove to the company.
He made a detailed plan for the whole day, making sure he would go home and fall asleep at night.
Like a robot with its battery run out.
It was not yet working hours, and the road was smooth. Chen Yuan went straight to his office when he arrived at the company.
Now he loves this top floor more and more. From the window, he can overlook half of the western city of Lanjing. At night, the lights are bright and the night view of the city is shocking.
Quiet, comfortable, and low-key luxury, this is indeed everything a successful man should be.
Of course, Chen Yuan didn't have time to savor these things carefully. After all, the company was not built by him alone, and no matter how valuable these things were, they could not give him any sense of value.
He sat in his office chair, stretched, opened the book that he had been unable to finish before, and prepared to study the knowledge he needed.
Be diligent! Make progress! Work hard to become who you want to be!
As for love, that thing can go away as he doesn't need it now.
There are infinite beauties in this world waiting to be discovered. There are many girls better than Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao. Let them wait and see how terrible a man they have fooled.
Chen Yuan encouraged himself, lowered his head and began to flip through the book.
Really live, enjoy, and feel this prime age.
In a blink of an eye, it was already noon.
Pei Youwen, who was downstairs, came late. He had accompanied a client, a developer of Dongbai, last night and drank with him until after two in the morning. He also arranged a whole set of VIP services.
Finally, a few people were singing Cantonese songs in the club.
The burly Dong Bai brother roared so hard and sang so badly that Pei Youwen still couldn't forget the fear of being dominated by the devil's sound last night.
The double torture of mental and physical torture has left him looking haggard even now.
"Ha~"
Yawning, he walked to the project department director's office and asked about the latest progress.
"...That's it." The bald minister reported.
"Well, prepare a document and have the assistant send it to my office."
"Got it, Mr. Pei. By the way...do I need to send a copy to Mr. Jiang?"
"Is he here?" Pei Youwen was a little surprised.
"Someone saw it."
"Okay, I'll send it off. Let's see whether he reads it or not..." Pei Youwen scratched the back of his head, "Forget it, print a copy for me now and I'll take it over."
A moment later, Pei Youwen entered the elevator and went all the way to the top floor.
He knocked on the door of the chairman's office. When no one answered, he walked in. However, no one was inside. It was probably because it was lunchtime and Chen Yuan had already left.
Pei Youwen had no choice but to put the document down.
In the quiet house, the window was not closed tightly. A breeze blew in, turning a few pages of the book on the table. He looked up at it.
I saw that the blank space was filled with annotations.
……
Shaxian snacks, found in some greasy restaurants.
Chen Yuan and Liu Nan each had a portion of duck leg rice, and they were wolfing it down. They didn't even bother to wipe the oil off their mouths, they were so hungry that they could even stuff the plates into their stomachs.
Show off halfway.
Chen Yuan unscrewed the iced soda water and took a sip.
"You didn't eat breakfast?" Liu Nan asked.
"Eat it."
"Then why do you still have such an appetite?"
"I went to play basketball this morning and I'm so tired. Hey, we agreed that when we get to the internet cafe later, you can't play Spider-Category. Choose Xin Zhao and be my dog."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Next to this Shaxian snack bar is a beautifully decorated Internet cafe.
Chen Yuan booked a double room for the two of them. As soon as they entered the room, they heard the crackling sound of keyboards, which immediately ignited their competitive passion.
They couldn't wait, so they turned on their computers, logged into their accounts, and started playing in pairs.
Games are the most time-consuming and attention-diverting things. Chen Yuan’s only entertainment activity in high school was playing League of Legends after holidays.
He used to play ADC, but now he wants to switch to top lane.
There are also heroes that I am good at: Jayce, Shen, Fiora, and Ruimeng.
Top lane is a very artistic lane, with every game between last hits, every preparation for blood exchange, every deception and pull in positioning.
Countless people can't help but be fascinated by it.
Chen Yuan locked up Fiora, turned his head and said to Liu Nan confidently: "Help me in the early stage, I will definitely carry the whole way, and the Stone Man can't stop me."
"Relax!"
Three hours later.
They walked out of the Internet cafe, arguing from the private room until now.
“1-9、3-8、3-10,最好的一把战绩你杀了4个,死11次,飞老师来了能带动你吗?”
"No, I need rhythm when playing jungle. I won't play if the opponent counter-jungles me."
"I told you to pick a strong jungler, but you always pick Sejuani and Gragas. Are you weaker than the opposing jungler? Why do you pick a weak jungler?"
"I played Xin Zhao too, but we didn't win, did we?"
"Who told you to catch him at level 2?"
"What's the problem? The factory manager is also arrested at level two!"
"You are invincible..."
