Chapter 3 Back to Six Years Ago
The cash in Yu Lang's wallet was all withdrawn by Tang Jialin from the bank. How could there be counterfeit coins?
He went to the counter with the waiter and watched them pass the banknote detector again, and actually prompted the counterfeit currency. Yu Lang didn't believe in evil, so he exchanged for a hundred-dollar bill, or a counterfeit currency, and another one, which was still a counterfeit currency.
Seeing that the waiter and the cashier looked stranger, Yu Lang randomly stuffed three banknotes back into his wallet, drew a credit card, and "swipe the card."
The cashier took it and swiped the POS machine. Yu Lang entered the password and waited patiently for more than ten seconds. The cashier raised his head: "Sir, I'm reminded you that the card status is abnormal and the payment failed."
"How is it possible? I used it just now." Yu Lang really suspected that someone was playing tricks on him. He couldn't help but look behind the counter, but he didn't notice any abnormality.
Seeing that he was dressed neatly and well-decorated, wearing a famous watch on his wrist, and a luxury brand logo on his wallet. He was dressed up by a rich man and his attitude was so sure, he said, "Why should I try it again? It may be because of a bank failure. If it really doesn't work, please change a card."
Then what else to try? "Use this one." Yu Lang directly changed a card.
Half a minute later, the cashier said: "...this card also prompts that the card is in abnormal condition."
Yu Lang smiled angrily: "It is impossible that all banks are malfunctioning, right?"
The cashier was helpless: "...why do you scan the code on your phone?"
He just couldn't find his phone... Yes, where did his phone go? Yu Lang looked around the cafe and found the table he had lying on before, but there was nothing on it.
"Did you see who came with me?" Yu Lang turned around and asked.
The waiter was already receiving other guests. When he heard him ask, he felt that the guest who had drunk alcohol in broad daylight might be a problem.
"Sir, aren't you with the two of you just now?" the waiter asked frowned.
“…”
I still have to go to Tang Jialin and figure out what happened. Yu Lang found a savings card he had used for the longest time in his wallet and finally settled the account.
When he walked out of the cafe, there was a square with people coming and going outside. Yu Lang felt that the place was both familiar and unfamiliar, and it felt very strange. After walking around, he finally knew where the strange feeling came from.
This is Ruilin Square, the shopping center with the largest traffic in the old city. When he first returned to China, his father arranged for him to go to the Hengfeng trading company that he had trained - the same company that Tang Jialin just mentioned - was nearby.
But the problem is that Ruilin Plaza has declined as early as the impact of e-commerce on physical stores. When he passed by a few months ago, the shop on the first floor was more than one level lower than what he saw at the moment, and the appearance of the entire mall was not as old as he saw it at that time.
Could it be that Ruilin Plaza has attracted new investment and renovated investment?
No, the mall may be renovated, but it is difficult for people to reappear. Yu Lang remembered the Tang Jialin he just saw. Whether it was hairstyle or face, they were very similar to when they met again in Hengfeng...
There is also the money that I couldn't spend and the cards I couldn't swipe just now. A terrible guess appeared in Yu Lang's mind, but he was forced to suppress it before he could take shape.
It’s better to ask someone to borrow a cell phone to make a call. Yu Lang thought so, but he was used to being arrogant and couldn’t speak for a while, so he simply walked into the mall and wanted to borrow from the staff.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I saw a large movie poster on the top of Ruilin Plaza. There is a cinema on the top of the movie poster. It is not surprising that this is a special effect blockbuster that was released a few years ago. What’s even more strange is that there is a cinema ticket counter next to the poster, and there are even people inside the counter.
Now everyone is buying tickets on the APP, and few people go to the cinema to buy tickets now. The counters set on the first floor to facilitate customers to buy tickets have long been removed. The guess came back to my mind. Yu Lang took a deep breath and walked over slowly.
"Sir, do you watch a movie?" the ticket seller asked enthusiastically.
"Which is the new movie?"
The ticket seller pointed to the screen: "These are all newly released yesterday."
Yu Lang saw that the blockbuster film on the poster was the first one, but he refused to believe it, so he pointed to the poster: "Is this film also newly launched yesterday? Why do I feel like I have been there long ago?"
"You may remember it wrong. This is a new film. Even overseas, it is only one week earlier than our country. The tickets are very popular now. If you want to watch it, you can buy two or tens of dollars at the earliest."
Yu Lang didn't hear the second half of her sentence at all, his mind was full of: He actually drank a drink and suddenly returned to the past! It was not the so-called rebirth of his youth, but the 29-year-old body, and the year he was 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 pictures do you want sir?"
Yu Lang slowly looked up: "Not to buy it for now, my wife hasn't come yet." After stopping, he asked again, "Can you lend your phone to use it? I can't find my phone. Maybe there are too many people outside and I've been touched."
The ticket seller showed sympathy and took his cell phone to him while saying, "There are many people who have been touched by their cell phones in the square outside recently. You can go to the police booth at the east gate to report a case, maybe you can find it."
Yu Lang thanked him and took the phone to dial Tang Jialin's number - her phone number had not changed in recent years, so she should be able to connect. After three beeps, her voice came from the receiver: "Hey, hello?"
"It's me." Yu Lang said this habitually, and then remembered that Tang Jialin said in the cafe just now that she didn't know him, so she quickly reported her name, "Yu Lang. Where are you?"
"Who? Wait a moment, I'm a little noisy here..."
Yu Lang also heard that her place was noisy, so he waited patiently. Unexpectedly, after only a few seconds, he saw Tang Jialin walking in through the door he had just entered.
He immediately hung up his phone and gave it to the ticket seller: "Thank you, my wife is here."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to call Tang Jialin. As soon as he opened his mouth, a male voice came from the front: "Tang Jialin?"
"..." Could it be that blind date man, Mr. Zhang, again? Yu Lang frowned and looked at him, but he was a taller and more handsome young man than Mr. Zhang.
"Senior Brother Fang?"
Tang Jialin's tone was full of surprise. He heard Yu Lang's teeth soreness. He stepped on his long legs and wanted to meet him first. Unexpectedly, Tang Jialin greeted the man and quickly accelerated his pace and almost ran to the so-called Senior Brother Fang.
"Long time no see, I heard that you are working nearby and have been trying to find you to have dinner, but unfortunately I'm too busy recently..."
Yu Lang followed Tang Jialin and heard the man named Fang talking, he sneered in his heart: "Bitch, he is not a person who has a lot of money, and he doesn't even have time to eat? He just doesn't want to make an appointment."
Tang Jialin is not stupid and will definitely not believe this kind of fooling around.
But Tang Jialin said, "I heard that Senior Brother Fang is now a counselor and has to take care of students. He is very busy..."
She was really stupid. Yu Lang walked closer with a calm face. Tang Jialin turned her back to him without notice. The surname Fang noticed and looked at him.
"You... Yu Lang?" Fang's face showed surprise.
Tang Jialin followed and saw Yu Lang. She immediately took two steps back to Senior Brother Fang and asked, "Yu Lang? Did you call me just now?"
Yu Lang didn't answer her words and asked the Fang surnamed: "Do you know me?"
"You, you really forget the truth. Fang Zijun, you have forgotten all my classmates in the school basketball team?" Fang Zijun took two steps forward and stretched out his right hand with a smile. "That year's inter-school basketball game, do you always remember the deeds of us crying next door No. 4 Middle School?"
"Ah," Yu Lang remembered who this person was. He shook hands with the other party perfunctorily and said slowly, "Remember, I'll treat you to barbecue after the game."
"Yes. When did you come back? I heard Haowen say that you are going to return to China, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
Yu Lang glanced at him standing behind Fang Zijun and showed a sudden look. He seemed to finally remember who he was, and sneered: "You are very informed."
"I also had a meal with Haowen a few days ago, and I heard him say it."
The Haowen surnamed Jiang, which Fang Zijun mentioned repeatedly, is Yu Lang's good friend and the only high school classmate he has contacted so far - 29 years old.
The classmate who wanted to make contact with Jiang Haowen over the years could not count both hands. Yu Lang didn't remember Jiang Haowen's mention to him. Obviously, the relationship was mediocre, 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 and smiled meaningfully, "I seemed to hear you say you were very busy just now?"
Tang Jialin was stunned. Fang Zijun finally remembered that there was someone behind him. He smiled awkwardly and turned around and said, "That day, there were classmates from other places who came to play, and we male classmates gathered together. Junior sister, do you still remember Yu Lang?"
After asking, he suddenly remembered that Tang Jialin seemed to say something and called, and turned back with a little confusion: "Have you always been in touch?"
"No!" Tang Jialin replied quickly, "I made a mistake. It was just a harassing call."
Yu Lang was so determined that he was so determined that he would laugh out loud.
"Ah, then you guys..." Fang Zijun felt that the atmosphere seemed a little strange, but he couldn't tell what the blame was, so he had to find a topic, "I remember you are not from the same class, right?"
He was one year older than Tang Jialin and Yu Lang. He remembered that Tang Jialin was in the liberal arts class and Yu Lang was in science.
"It's true," Yu Lang replied first, "You guys are not, aren't you? Why do you look familiar?"
"I participated in a speech contest with Junior Sister Tang, which is also considered a friendship between 'comrades-in-arms'." Fang Zijun laughed, "Hey, let's find a place to sit down and chat? Will you have anything to do later?"
Yu Lang didn't answer and looked at Tang Jialin.
Tang Jialin hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have nothing to do, I'm just shopping."
Yu Lang sneered, Tang Jialin glared at him angrily, but she held it back and said nothing.
"You're fine, I'll have something to ask you for trouble." Yu Lang pushed away Fang Zijun who was still standing in the middle and walked to Tang Jialin, "I was in the cafe just now..."
Tang Jialin widened her eyes nervously, but Yu Lang stopped and looked back at Fang Zijun.
Although Fang Zijun was not sure about the situation, he was very tactful and said, "I almost forgot that someone had released a pigeon. My movie ticket has not been refunded yet. You guys talk first."
Yu Lang looked at Tang Jialin and opened his mouth to call Fang Zijun, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just glared at him fiercely, and the jealousy that was already burning in his heart suddenly doubled.
"Don't tell me, you like him." Yu Lang said gritting his teeth with soreness.
When Fang Zijun was not here, Tang Jialin directly retorted: "What's your business?"
Is this a default or an angry word? Yu Lang thought about the details in his memory, but he was reluctant to admit that it was the former, and asked again: "When you were fine in the second year of high school, you ran to our fourth floor. Are you going to see him?"
"Or won't you see you? Pervert." Tang Jialin rolled her eyes fiercely, turned her head and left.
