    PEOPLE

    CHAPTER 101 - A PLACE OF EXCELLENCE

    A fierce battle that almost went on fire was settled by Wu De just like that. I could see that Wu De had an extraordinary ability.

    At the same time, I could also see that Wu De was extremely cunning and treacherous.

    Wu De used a mere 1 million to subdue Diao Shijie, making him his friend and ally. At the same time, Wu De seemed to have solved the problem between him and Diao Shijie.

    Even though he had settled a fierce battle today and seemed to have made Li Shun and Diao Shijie into friends, the truth was that the fundamental conflict between Li Shun and Li Shun had not been resolved at all, and had even deepened.

    What made Wu De brilliant was that he could use the contradictions between these two people to attack him from the left and right, to obtain greater benefits for himself in the future.

    Li Shun and Diao Shijie were merely chess pieces that Wu De could control at any time. In a sense, it could be said that Wu De was the true expert, and he was the true victor today.

    When we were leaving, Wu De looked at me again, and suddenly laughed, and said: Fellow brother, do you respect your great name?

    My surname is En, my name is Ke! No, I said.

    Yi Ke, good, I will remember this. Little brother is able to fight evenly with the five tigers, so being able to defeat the four great King Kong is not simple at all! As Wu De said that, he actually walked towards me and extended his hand out, Come, Yi Ke, let's warm each other up!

    I quickly reached out and grabbed Wu De's hand.

    Wu De's hands were a little cold and slippery, like a woman's hands.

    Just then, I saw the cunning mouse eyes of the Underworld King behind Wu De sizing me up again, my heart couldn't help but shiver. Fuck, this is an Underground Ghost Worker, Wu De wouldn't let him investigate my background right?

    At the same time, I noticed that Diao Shijie's gaze was also fixated on me, with a little coldness within.

    I don't know how Diao Shijie will treat me next, or how he will treat me, but at least he won't treat me as a friend.

    Wu De held my hand and paused for a few seconds, his gaze was calm as he looked at me. I couldn't help but feel a bit scared and didn't dare to look him in the eye anymore.

    At this point in time, I still had not realized what kind of relationship this General Wu De would have with me.

    When everyone split up, Li Shun and Diao Shijie did not shake hands, but looked at each other with contempt. Wu De looked at the two of them and smiled.

    On the way back, Li Shun was more satisfied and said that today's harvest had exceeded his expectation's bottom line. Originally, his bottom line today was at least letting out a construction site with a large amount of oil and water, so he naturally understood the rules of the market. As long as he interfered, he wouldn't let go for nothing.

    Of course, Diao Shijie wasn't at a disadvantage either. He had gained 1 million for nothing. It seemed that all three families were winners today, and no one was at a disadvantage.

    Alright, there's nothing else for me to do for now. Your performance today is quite good. At the critical moment, it's timely for you to take out your spear. You're not at a disadvantage at all. You should continue with the plan that I've arranged for you. For the time being, I won't disturb you. Li Shun said, It looks like the general is still paying attention to you, so he wants to shake your hand. When I was in Japan, he took great care of me. I even followed him around the outskirts for a while, and he's a member of the famous Yamada Group. I don't even have the qualifications to enter the Yamada Group, damn it.

    Hearing Li Shun's words, I did not make a sound.

    Returning to the ward, I turned on the computer and logged on to the internet. I clicked on the buttons, but there was a message from her.

    "Ke Ke, you're not here. Sitting alone in front of the computer, I suddenly want to talk to you. I wanted to say something, well, I wanted to say something, but I didn't want to. However, he knew that it was impossible, yet he could not change reality. He did not dare to change reality, but in the end, he was unable to break through his own mental state and beliefs, and was unable to change his own conscience and moral system.

    I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know how far I can go in a virtual world. I let my soul slide down into the abyss, step by step. Ke Ke, help me, save me, I am so lonely, so lonely, so depressed, I am suffocating.

    In this chaotic world, I do not know where my life will end. I do not know where my soul will drift. My body, my scarred heart, perhaps, will fall into endless darkness and emptiness. "

    My heart jolted, as if I could feel the dreamlike struggle and confusion between reality and illusion.

    The day had finally come, and she had finally realized it. She had finally begun to worry about it, or perhaps she already had it, and had only just said it today.

    As for me, the conflict between the virtual world and the real world is also gradually deepening, especially after Hai Zhu appeared.

    I dream of struggling through the virtual world and walking into reality, but I don't dare to do it, because I know, that it is a dead end. In the virtual world, I can have a floating life like a dream, and in the real world, I can have any other woman, but I can't have Qiu Tong.

    Perhaps, in reality, Hai Zhu and I are the most suitable. As for Qiu Tong, although she wanted to walk out of the virtual world, she did not dare to do so even more.

    I continued to read. "For me, being alive is a blessing, an orphan. I should be content to have what I am today, but I often feel that being alive is painful. To me, happiness is like a dumpling in a rice bowl. And the pain is probably because I was helpless to the limit, helpless to the point that I was unable to bear it.

    My heart tightened, throbbing with pain, feeling great helplessness and sorrow.

    Only when a person experienced that reality could not be changed did he realize how desolate and desolate it was. It was as if she had used all her strength in her dream to say something, but she realized that no matter what, she could not say a single word.

    There were many times when reality was like quicksand. The tighter one grasped, the faster they could slip. In the end, all that was left was a bright and beautiful wound that dyed their hands a crimson red.

    I sighed and replied to Floating Life Dreamlike, "Ru Meng, my heart hurts when I see your words. It hurts … I want to help you. I want to save you, to help you is to help me, to save you is to save me. But, I know, you know, I can't change you, because you can't change reality. Perhaps, everyone's fate is destined, it can't be changed, even if you can have everything in the virtual world, once you wake up, everything in front of reality is empty.

    Perhaps, the only thing that can save me and save you is us. That is to face the reality and end this endless and dreamlike game. Each of us will return to our own reality, allowing our spirit and body to return to reality, seeking the true destination of life in reality. Dreamlike Dream, perhaps, from the very beginning, we were wrong. We shouldn't have allowed this illusory emotion of ours to flow as it pleases, to the point where at this point, perhaps we will be unable to extricate ourselves if we allow it to develop any further. "

    I don't know why this thought suddenly appeared in my mind, I don't know if I want to completely cut off my fantasies towards Qiu Tong in the real world, or if I want to ease the entanglement and worry caused by Qiu Tong's appearance in the real world and the virtual world's Floating Life like dream, or maybe it's because Hai Zhu's appearance in the real world made my heart even more conflicted. In any case, when my thoughts reached this point, my hand would start to ring, and I would habitually hit the return button and send it out.

    After sending it out, I immediately regretted it. However, I am unable to take back the water that I spilled when I said it.

    I couldn't help but be worried about the consequences of saying those words. I was worried that Wandering Life would be seriously hurt after reading those words. I didn't want to hurt her. I really didn't want to.

    I don't know when Qiu Tong will see these words of mine, but I know that she will see it sooner or later.

    I couldn't help but feel depressed for a long time. Then I let out a long sigh and fell asleep.

    Early morning on the second day, I received a call from Qiu Tong: "Yi Ke, let's go to Tongliao today to visit Yuan Duo's parents. I've already bought a ticket for you.

    I was excited in my heart. I am going to the Tongliao to visit the great plains of Korqin. The last time was in the autumn, with Yuan Duo.

    Alright! No, I said.

    I'll go to the office now to withhold and send out an email, and then I'll pay a visit to a few customers. See you at the train station in the afternoon! Qiu Tong said quickly and hung up the phone.

    When I heard that Qiu Tong wanted to button it and send mail, I was stunned.

    Wouldn't this be like a dream and I would soon see my message!

    My heart was a mess, I didn't know how she would look like when I met Qiu Tong in the afternoon.

    I was about to go out and eat something when I suddenly saw Sun Dongkai walking out from the hospital's entrance. He was walking with vigorous steps and he did not look unwell at all.

    Cao Li first saw me and was slightly startled. She then greeted me: Hey, isn't this Yi Ke? Yi Ke —

    I stopped.

    Hearing Cao Li's voice, Sun Dongkai stopped moving and looked at me. He blinked his eyes, as if he couldn't remember who I was.

    Since Cao Li has called out to me, I shall greet them as well: Good day Sun Yat-sen, good day Director Cao!

    Sun Dongkai continued to look at me confusedly, as if he didn't know me at all.

    Cao Li then said to Sun Dongkai: Sun Yat-sen, this is the previous Yi Ke from Issuer's main customer service department. He has already resigned.

    Not far away, a black car was parked there. Sun Dongkai immediately walked over to the car, and when he was about to get in front of the car, Sun Dongkai turned back and said to Cao Li: I suddenly have a stomach attack. I need to go to the bathroom!

    Saying that, Sun Dongkai hurriedly walked into the Inpatient Department, wanting to go to the bathroom.

    Sigh … Alright, Sun Yat-sen, you can go. I'll wait here for you! Cao Li said.

    CHAPTER 102 - SIS MISSES YOU SO MUCH

    After seeing Sun Dongkai walk into the hospital, Cao Li turned her head to look at me with eyes full of happiness and enthusiasm. Yi Ke, little fellow, pretty boy, it's been a while since I last saw you, where have you been? Resigning does not say anything to me, make me easy to find. If not for meeting you today and not knowing where you had gone off to, I would have thought that you had left the Haizhou.

    I said, I didn't go anywhere. After I quit my job, I started wandering around Haizhou. It's rare for me to be this worried about you, thank you!

    Cao Li looked at me with a burning gaze, and revealed a charming smile: You quit and didn't contact me, you have no conscience, you won't be able to escape today, come, tell me your phone number, I will call you when I have the time.

    What? Contact what?

    Cao Li said charmingly: Little Scoundrel, what did you say to contact? You left without a sound, but you took my heart away, I really want you to die. Good girl, come, give me your phone number."

    Looking at Cao Li's charming appearance, thinking about her complicated battle with Qiu Tong and thinking that I have to return to work in Issuer after Spring Festival, I thought for a bit and told her the number.

    After Cao Li took down the number on his phone, she called. My phone rang, and without looking, he knew that it was Cao Li's number. Cao Li then said, When I have time, let me contact you, alright? Sun Yat-sen just got discharged from the hospital, so I came to pick him up.

    I said, Don't contact me if you have nothing to do. I'm not free.

    Cao Li looked at me with an expression that was unable to endure the thirst, and said ambiguously: If there's no time during the day, there's no time at night! Idiot, when you are with big sis, big sis will not mistreat little brother."

    I know, the little brother that Cao Li is talking about is a pun.

    I changed the subject and said, Is Sun Yat-sen cured? What disease is it?

    Cao Li glanced at the entrance of the residential building, her eyes revealing a look of indifference: "There was originally no serious illness, calling it a minor ailment is a bit too far-fetched, the Leader's body is not comfortable, it has to be done according to the needs, if there is a need, there has to be an illness, if not there is no need, there is no illness.

    The reason why he was hospitalized was so that he could avoid a battle between Group Leader s. Now that everything was calm and peaceful, his body would be better and he would be discharged from the hospital. Think about it, who would still be able to do that kind of thing in a hospital room like a dragon or a tiger?

    After saying that, Cao Li realised that she had leaked the information, and immediately shut her mouth.

    I immediately understood that Sun Dongkai wasn't really sick, it was just that he entered the hospital due to a political battle. It should be because of the internal strife between the Group Leader s, that caused him to be called sick in the hospital in order to avoid being sick.

    Without a doubt, the last sentence Cao Li said earlier was for Sun Dongkai to screw with women while he was in the hospital. Of course, Sun Dongkai lived in a single room in a dry ward, there were naturally conditions for him to exercise there, and the target was naturally Cao Li.

    I pretended not to understand and looked at Cao Li: What are you doing? Then what is it?"

    Cao Li quickly covered up and waved her hand: It's nothing, it's just that Sun Yat-sen is training in the ward everyday, doing push-ups.

    I said, Oh, doing push-ups. Sun Yat-sen is really not simple. This push-ups was done on the bed. How long can you do it all at once?

    I asked, playing dumb.

    Cao Li said unnaturally: Of course it was made on the bed. I don't know how long it would take. Well, let's not talk about that. By the way, what are you doing after you resign?"

    Fun! No, I said.

    Do you want me to introduce you to a job? Cao Li said.

    Thank you, no need. After the new year, I will look for her myself! No, I said.

    You may not be able to find a suitable job by yourself, but I'll help you look for one. I can guarantee that you'll be satisfied with the comfortable working environment, that you won't be tired, and that your income will be higher! Cao Li said, There are a lot of departments in the group management system, you can tell me where you want to go. I'll say hello to them, there won't be a problem.

    Hearing Cao Li's words, my heart stirred, and I said, I want to return to the Issuer!

    Cao Li was startled, then looked at me with a little surprise: There are so many operating unit in this group, why do you insist on returning to Issuer? Didn't you just resign not long ago?

    I said, After I quit, do I regret it again?

    Cao Li pondered for a while, then said to me with a troubled expression: Let's go to another operating unit, don't go to Issuer, I will be fine with the other units, just don't go to Issuer.

    , as the Deputy Director in the Group Management Office, is in charge of managing the Office of Management and Management. She is very close to the Group Leader, so naturally, no one in charge of the Group operating unit would dare to offend her. If she wants to arrange someone, everyone should pay for it.

    However, only Qiu Tong might not give her any face. Qiu Tong's personality was gentle yet firm, although on the surface, she was docile, but inside, she was stubborn. A person who resigned from his job should return, and according to Cao Li's understanding, Qiu Tong would definitely not take it.

    The reason why Cao Li told me this, was naturally because she didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Qiu Tong. It was as if she was also somewhat fearful of Qiu Tong.

    I said, I'm really not interested in the other units. I'm used to doing the distribution and still want to go back to work. Director Cao, since it's not easy to do, then don't make things difficult for me. We'll talk about it in a year.

    Cao Li seemed to think that she had lost face in front of me, as she gritted her teeth and said: If you really want to return to the Issuer, that's fine, don't be anxious, first wait, in the future, there will be a chance. When I tell you to return to the Issuer in the future, you won't be an ordinary Distributor.

    I immediately understood what Cao Li meant when I heard her words, it just meant that she would become the head of the Issuer in the future and recruit me to be the head of the team.

    Cao Li had been secretly peeping at the position of the Issuer Elder, the heart of an imperialist forgetting himself and not dying!

    I couldn't help but think about what Cao Li would think when I appeared in the Issuer in the new year and how I would explain it to her.

    At this moment, I sensed that the one who posed the biggest threat to Qiu Tong in my position as the General Manager of Issuer was not Zhao Dajian but Cao Li.

    However, in terms of sabotaging and sabotaging the work of Qiu Tong, Zhao Dajian and Cao Li couldn't be ignored either. There was still Li Shun, whose position fluctuated left and right.

    As a pervert boss who grasped real power, Sun Dongkai had always wanted to get his hands on Qiu Tong. Many men's hearts were like this, what they couldn't get was the best, and the more they couldn't get their hands on, the more unwilling they were to let go. In order to achieve her goals, in the future, Sun Dongkai would definitely use her authority to place all kinds of obstacles in Qiu Tong's way.

    Of course, as a scheming boss, he might not personally take action. He might use the other people under his command to discipline Qiu Tong, then come out herself to be a good person and gain Qiu Tong's goodwill. For example, he would take advantage of the fact that Zhao Dajian and Cao Li wanted to take Qiu Tong's place to make a move.

    I could clearly feel the gloomy weather around Qiu Tong.

    This also strengthened my resolve to return to the Issuer to work.

    Just then, Sun Dongkai came out, he stopped talking, and followed Sun Dongkai onto the carriage. Cao Li and I met and spoke in a rush, she did not even have the time to ask me what I came to the hospital for.

    When Sun Dongkai walked past me, he gave me a deep look of arrogance and disdain, as if he remembered me this time.

    After Sun Dongkai's car drove away, I left the hospital and went to the Fourth Brother's bun house at the door to buy some buns to eat.

    Fourth Brother was busy within the store. When he saw me enter, he immediately recognized me and greeted, Master, come. Come in quickly and sit down.

    I ordered a basket of steamed buns. Fourth Bro quickly brought it over and gave me another bowl of porridge.

    While I was eating the bun, Fourth Brother stood in front of me and started to speak, but then stopped. I understood why he did that.

    Sure enough, after a while, Fourth Brother said, Master, that night you said I don't need the jacket I prepared, what's going on? Have you ever seen the wandering old people and children?

    I finished eating the bun, wiped my mouth, looked at Fourth Brother and nodded, Fourth Brother, you are a good person, I respect you a lot. To tell you the truth, that old man has passed away, and that girl has been adopted by someone who was kind to her.

    Ah — Fourth Brother's face trembled, and then revealed a sad expression, The Old Master passed away? It must have frozen to death, right? Where did you freeze to death?

    I said, In the field. Yes, it was frozen to death, I just happened to meet it. That child was very lucky to have met someone with a good heart. Right now, he is living a peaceful and happy life.

    Master, how did you know they were the people I was talking about?

    I stood up and paid the bill. Then I looked at Fourth Brother and said two words: Instinct!

    After saying that, I turned around and left.

    After walking a distance, I turned around and saw Fourth Brother still standing there in a daze. His expression seemed to be deep in thought.

    For some reason, I suddenly had a feeling that this Fourth Brother who sold meat buns seemed to have a story. Of course, I had no way of knowing what the story was exactly.

    After returning to the ward, I looked for a doctor and took care of Yuan Duo, placed him down, and explained the relevant matters to him. Then, I sat on the side of Yuan Duo's bed and said to Yuan Duo: Yuan Duo, I'm going to the Great Prairie with Qiu Tong, so I'm going to your house to see your parents. You might not be able to go back this new year, so we'll look after your parents for you. We will bring back the New Year goods and bonuses given by the company and then Big Bro will come to accompany you. This year's Spring Festival, I won't go anywhere else, I'll spend the new year with you.

    At this time, I had already decided that I would not go home for the Spring Festival. During the reunion of all the families, I would not abandon Yuan Duo and leave her alone in the hospital.

    After finishing my conversation with Yuan Duo, I opened the computer's login button. With a trace of nervousness and anticipation, I wanted to see how Floating Life Dream would reply to my words.

    However, she didn't reply to anything, and she wasn't online.

    Could it be that Qiu Tong didn't surf the Internet at the office just now? She clearly said that she was going to the office to send her email. As long as she sent the email, she would definitely open it. Naturally, she would definitely see my reply.

    Could it be that she purposely refused to reply after reading it? Or was there something in his mind that he didn't immediately say out loud?

    I let my imagination run wild, I couldn't figure out what Qiu Tong was thinking, so I shut down the computer.

    CHAPTER 103 - THERE BE A BLIZZARD TONIGHT

    After sitting in a daze for a while, I touched the phone to call Qiu Tong's office, and immediately got through.

    Hello, I am Qiu Tong! Qiu Tong's gentle voice came out from the phone.

    It's me, autumnum!

    Yi Ke! What's the matter? Qiu Tong said, her voice sounded very calm.

    I was thinking about what I need to take with me to Yuan Duo's home, and how much money I need to take with me! No, I said.

    I have already arranged for people to go to the supermarket to buy the things I brought with me. As for the money, there is still quite a bit remaining from the money I brought back from Myanmar last time. I think we should bring along 30 thousand, just say that this is the sum of the company and the year-end bonus that Yuan Duo saved up.

    I agreed. Yeah, sure!

    Anything else? Qiu Tong asked me again.

    It's gone! Are you busy?

    Yeah, I closed the account after sending the email. I was just about to go visit a few customers. Your call came just in time. I'll be out of the office soon. Qiu Tong's voice did not sound abnormal at all.

    I was stunned. This meant that Wandering Life had already seen my reply and left a message. Could it be that my reply didn't have any effect on her?

    After finishing my call with Qiu Tong, I thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything.

    In the afternoon, the weather turned gloomy and the north wind gradually grew stronger. The strong cold currents mentioned in the weather forecast had begun to affect the Haizhou and it was said that there would be a blizzard today.

    Since a snowstorm was about to break out on Haizhou's side, then it would definitely start snowing on the Horqin Prairie in the northwest direction.

    Around 4 am, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. Accompanying the howling wind, snow began to wreak havoc in every corner of the city.

    I flew through the wind and snow to the waiting room of the Haizhou train station. Qiu Tong had already arrived.

    Standing next to Qiu Tong were Little Pig and Xue'er. They had obviously come to send Qiu Tong off.

    Seeing me, Piggy grins and says to Yaya: Yayi, look, big brother is here!

    Yayi saw me and giggled. She pounced on me and let me hug her. Unbefuddled by Little Pig's incitement, she shouted, Hello, Uncle!

    I picked up Ya Ya and said, Be good, Ya Ya, or Ya Ya. Don't listen to Big Sister Little Pig's nonsense.

    Little Pig was stunned. His face pulled back and he stared at me. Hey — — Brother, what are you talking about? How can you be so impudent, is there anyone who can speak to big sister like that?

    Qiu Tong stood at the side with a frustrated look in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something. She didn't seem to hear what Little Pig and I were saying.

    I looked at Little Pig. Little Pig, I'm going to formally warn you. You have to call me Big Brother. If you don't listen to me, I'll …

    You what? Piggy looks at me defiantly, blinking his big eyes.

    I'll kill the pig for New Year's stew! I turned to Yayo. Yayo, do you like pig ears? If you like it, uncle will give you a pig's ear to eat.

    Ya Ya shook her head. Uncle, I don't like eating pig ears. I like eating pig tails.

    I put on a troubled face. Hey, why are you so picky? Our pig doesn't have a tail, don't you know that?

    Ya Ya was baffled. Uncle, pigs all have tails. Why doesn't our pig have one?

    I said: Because our pig is not a good pig, mischievous, disobedient, the tail has been bitten off by the puppy.

    Yah Yah nodded, So that's how it is!

    Just as I was feeling proud of myself, Little Pig extended his fist towards my back and said, You big scoundrel, you instigated the crowd to fight you, and you dare to use your shadows to tease me, slandering me, I'll beat you up, you big scoundrel.

    Piggy's fist falls on my back, as if massaging it, more comfortable.

    At this time, Yayi rushed towards Qiu Tong and shouted, Mother, it's bad, big sister hit big brother!

    Little Pig and I were both stunned when we heard that. Little Pig even lowered our seniority.

    Qiu Tong was awakened from her deep thoughts. Seeing us playing around, she pursed her lips into a smile, stretched out his arms and hugged Ya Ya Ya over from my arms. She kissed Ya Ya Ya's face, and lovingly said: "Good girl, Xue'er, how did aunty and uncle become big sister and brother?

    Ya Ya Ya hugged Qiu Tong's neck, and caressed Qiu Tong's face with her small hands, saying: Mum, it's not that I want to call you that, it's Uncle and Auntie who told me to call you that.

    Qiu Tong turned her head and looked at Little Pig and me, then smiled and said, Look at the two of you, you two are so shameless, you've even confused my daughter.

    Piggy and I both laughed, I think Piggy is really a lively and cute girl.

    In a while, we would check the tickets. Qiu Tong and I said our goodbyes to Little Pig and Ya Ya, who waved her arms and shouted at Qiu Tong: Goodbye mother, mother will be back soon ~ ~

    Qiu Tong smiled and waved at her, My good daughter, goodbye. Mom will be back soon. In the next few days, you have to obediently listen to Aunty Little Pig's words.

    At this time, Little Pig said to me, "Big Brother, take good care of my Big Sister atone on the way back.

    Got it, big sister! No, I said.

    Piggy rolled his eyes and lowered his head to say to Yaya, Yaya, quickly say goodbye to your big brother!

    Ya Ya waved her hand at me. Big brother, big sister told me to say goodbye to you.

    Everyone immediately started laughing, Qiu Tong's laughter was especially moving, so rare to see it again.

    Qiu Tong and I got into the carriage.

    The night had already gone dark, and the platform was brightly lit. The snowstorm was still wreaking havoc on the platform, and the interior of the carriage was warm and harmonious.

    Our carriage has four bunks, but there's only Qiu Tong and I, there's no one in those two bunks.

    When I thought about how Yuan Duo and I bought a train ticket the first time we took the train to Tongliao, I couldn't help but feel a little weird. Looking at Qiu Tong, she seemed to not have noticed anything, as she sat in her bunk and stared at the sky of snow and wind outside the window, lost in thought.

    Very quickly, the train whistle emitted out a long whistle, and it slowly started and gradually accelerated, rumbling and galloping towards the northwest amidst the boundless blizzard …

    Qiu Tong and I are finally going to rush to the Great Plains of Corn that's covered in ice and snow.

    Right now, on the road.

    The road was long, the night was long.

    Outside the window, it was snowing heavily and the cold wind was howling. It was pitch black and the interior of the carriage was warm and brightly lit. The train sped across the Northeast Plains, heading northwest toward the Inner Mongolia prairie.

    Qiu Tong and I sat facing each other on our respective berths, staring at each other. Qiu Tong didn't seem to plan to speak at all. Even though her eyes were looking at me, her heart had flown somewhere.

    After a moment of silence, I broke the silence and tried to find something to say, autumnum, there's only the two of us in this carriage, and there's actually no one in the upper bunk. Last National Day, when Yuan Duo and I went back to the Tongliao, we didn't even have a seat, and we still bought a ticket.

    Qiu Tong was startled. She looked at me, as if she hadn't noticed what I had said just now, and said: What did you just say?

    I felt a burst of regret in my heart. So it turned out that Qiu Tong hadn't paid attention to what I was saying, so I could only repeat it again.

    This time, Qiu Tong understood. Looking at me, she suddenly laughed: There won't be anyone up there. There will only be two of us in this carriage until the end!

    I was stunned and looked at Qiu Tong: autumnum, what you mean is.

    You can understand that! Qiu Tong looked at me mischievously.

    I understand, but I don't understand. Isn't this a waste of money? No, I said.

    Of course, there's no other way! Qiu Tong said.

    Why? No, I said.

    Are you curious?

    Yes, I want to know!

    "It's very simple. Because a few years ago, I took a train and bought a soft sleeper. The other three bunks were all men, and when I drove, the three men would look at me with malicious eyes. They would strike up a conversation with me, their eyes filled with lust.

    Moreover, after the three men took off their shoes, it was unknown how long it had been since they washed their feet. The room was filled with the stench of feet. The worst thing is, after 10 pm, when they said they wanted to sleep, they closed the door and turned out the light. How could I fall asleep under these circumstances? "

    When he turned on the light, he was shocked to see that the man across from him had taken off only his underpants. He was not covered with a blanket and was pretending to be asleep. I was so disgusted that I ran out of the sleeper car and spent the night sitting on a seat in the aisle before I dared to go back in the morning. "

    When I heard this, I nodded. So this time, you …

    Yes. Qiu Tong nodded her head, From then on, I did not dare to buy a bed by train. I only bought hard seats, I tried my best not to take the train, and tried to choose other ways of travel. Because I was with you this time, I bought a sleeper compartment, but I don't want to meet another man who did something wrong. I just bought four sleeper cars and reserved this compartment, that's not a problem!"

    I said, That's not necessary. You can rest assured that you'll be able to go out with me. No one dares to do anything bad to you. I'll beat them to death if they dare to even glance at you!

    Qiu Tong laughed and said: "That won't happen, I just want to have a smooth journey. I don't want trouble, and I don't want to cause you trouble.

    I laughed. Hur hur.

    Qiu Tong looked at me. What are you laughing at?

    Nothing, I said.

    Qiu Tong pursed her lips and laughed: Yi Ke, do you think that I'm very bad?

    I hurriedly shook my head. No, I didn't. Where did that come from?

    It's the peak of the Spring Festival, and no one can buy a ticket. I suddenly bought four tickets and two tickets, isn't this purposely causing trouble? Qiu Tong said, I feel that doing this is bad, unethical!

    I said, I've already done it. Why are you still talking about it? Besides, it's not like I stole it. I spent money to buy it, so don't feel that way!

    Actually, what I said was against my own will, and I also felt that Qiu Tong was going overboard. Although it wasn't to show off her wealth, but there was the suspicion that she was being unreasonable.

    If someone else had done this, I would definitely be filled with righteous indignation and scolded them harshly. However, it was Qiu Tong who did this, so I started to think, and unconsciously protected Qiu Tong.

    Because in my mind, everything Qiu Tong did was right, she was never wrong, and even if she was wrong, right now, in my opinion, it was a beautiful mistake. All of her shortcomings were good points in my heart and eyes.

    CHAPTER 104 - A WHIFF OF CHILDISHNESS

    Qiu Tong suddenly laughed, and continued to speak: This person, he cannot be too perfect, there is no such thing as a perfect person in the world, I have always sought to make myself perfect, but I feel very tired, so I helped myself carry a burden of spirit, so, I think, occasionally doing bad things, maybe it's not bad, but right now in my heart, I feel like I'm having a prank.

    I laughed when I heard it, feeling that Qiu Tong was a bit childish.

    We should eat dinner! Qiu Tong said.

    I stood up. Alright, I'll go to the dining car and see if I can get some food!

    No need, I'll go and see what kind of food is suitable. You just wait here and take all of our luggage to the luggage rack upstairs! Qiu Tong stood up and said.

    Alright then! No, I said.

    Thus, Qiu Tong left and I brought the luggage from the two of us to the luggage rack. Qiu Tong's big box was really heavy, and other than her belongings, I think it was also something that she brought back to Yuan Duo's parents.

    After a long while, Qiu Tong came back with a few dishes, some rice, and two disposable paper cups.

    Yi Ke, I want to drink some white spirit wine, can you accompany me to drink? Qiu Tong suddenly said.

    Sure, but I don't think there's any liquor on this train? No, I said.

    Qiu Tong laughed, then climbed up to the top bunk and opened up her luggage. After fumbling around for a while, she came down with a bottle of Beijing Erguotou and two canned beef in her hands.

    Look, isn't this? Qiu Tong shook the thing in her hand, and laughed complacently, This is what I prepared to give to Yuan Duo's father. There are quite a few bottles, let's stealthily enjoy one bottle! Anyway, Father Yuan Duo couldn't see it, so I don't know.

    I smiled. Good!

    Thus, I spread the dishes out on the table, opened up a bottle of white wine, poured some and started drinking with Qiu Tong.

    Drinking with Qiu Tong in such an environment made me feel strange in my heart. It was a very wonderful feeling.

    After drinking a few mouthfuls, Qiu Tong suddenly said: Yi Ke, the other day when you were together with A Zhu at the Japanese restaurant's entrance, Li Shun was very rude, I apologize on her behalf to you and A Zhu.

    I hurriedly said, It's fine, autumnum, don't mind me. I have long forgotten about it.

    You forgot that I haven't. The first time I saw A Zhu, she had already seen all of this. Qiu Tong said, When I have the chance to see A Zhu again, I want to apologize to her in front of everyone!"

    I replied, There's no need. autumnum, you're too polite.

    Qiu Tong was silent for a moment, then played with the wine cup in her hand, looking at me one moment: Yi Ke, A Zhu is so beautiful, her temperament is so good, her job is also very good, and I can tell that she treats you very well, you have to cherish her, I think that the two of you are compatible with each other.

    I think, at this moment, Qiu Tong must be thinking more than that, she would definitely feel that it's inconceivable. How could a young man who washed his feet be together with a beautiful air stewardess, and how could a noble and refined air stewardess fall for a young master who washed his feet. She said it was a good match, and she might even think that I, a toad, had eaten swan meat. Of course, she would not say these words out loud.

    Or perhaps, if she really thinks that I am a good match for Hai Zhu, then she would definitely stop treating me as a foot-washer. She started to doubt my true identity, and started to think highly of either my ability to intentionally hide or my ability to lurk.

    I would rather she think that Hai Zhu and I are incompatible.

    I said, autumnum, you're thinking too much. A Zhu is my friend's sister, I've only seen her as my own sister!

    Obviously, my words were heartfelt, because I felt that my words were empty and lacking in confidence.

    Of course, my guilty conscience couldn't escape the intelligent Qiu Tong's eyes. Qiu Tong looked at me with a faint smile, and said half-truthfully: Really? Yi Ke, just as you said, you treat A Zhu as your little sister, but, I can clearly see in A Zhu's eyes, you don't seem to be a normal big brother's gaze, hehe, a big man wants to marry a big woman, but a big woman wants to marry a big one, you are not young anymore, why do you need to hide anything in your eyes when it comes to dating?

    What Qiu Tong said was of course correct. If it was in the presence of others, I would definitely acknowledge the relationship between A Zhu and I. However, in front of this realistic version of being like a dream, I couldn't help but not dare to not admit it.

    At this time, Qiu Tong's face was slightly red, and she looked exceptionally moving.

    Honestly speaking, Yi Ke, I like A Zhu a lot. I started to like her before we even met on the phone, and after seeing her, I like her even more. She's such a gentle, kind, beautiful, and cultured girl. In this lifetime, it will be difficult and difficult for you to meet a close friend that you know. Qiu Tong's voice carried a faint smell of alcohol.

    I didn't say anything, and when I thought back to that night with Hai Zhu that they almost fell in love, my heartbeat couldn't help but increase. I also couldn't help but think of what Hai Zhu had said to me, and looked at Qiu Tong who was in front of me.

    At this time, Qiu Tong also stopped talking, she looked at the wine cup in her hand quietly, her eyes became depressed again.

    The sleeping compartment was very quiet, with only the rhythmic sound of the train.

    Looking outside the carriage, the snow was still blowing furiously. Snow was falling on the windows and soon turned into streaks of water.

    It seemed to get hotter and hotter, so I took off my coat.

    Qiu Tong also felt that it was hot and took off her jacket.

    At this time, Qiu Tong was wearing a light blue cashmere sweater, revealing the lines on the upper half of her body. Under her slender and white neck was a well-developed and tall chest, which was less than a meter away from me.

    This is Qiu Tong, and is even more so a goddess of my dreams, the closest confidant of my Illusory World, the one who calls me Ke Ke like a dream.

    At this moment, she is right in front of me, very close to me. If there hadn't been a real existence, if she knew that I was Ke Ke, if she and I were to always live within illusions, at this moment, if I were to hold her in my arms, she would definitely not have rejected me.

    If I really can have Qiu Tong, then all of the women in this world will disappear from my mind and become dust.

    My breathing quickened as I thought about it.

    At this moment, Qiu Tong seemed to inadvertently raise her head to look at me, causing me to suddenly be shocked in my heart.

    Qiu Tong only glanced at it for a moment, and that instantly shattered my dreams, and instantly pulled me back to the terrifying and repulsive reality. I hastily took a deep breath, and ate the dish with my chopsticks while concealing it.

    Qiu Tong's face became even redder, and she pursed her lips, as if she felt that I was about to commit the same sickness as the infatuated ones from before.

    Qiu Tong seemed to realize that I was paying attention to her chest and that one of her hands was unconsciously reaching for his jacket, but then, after hesitating for a moment, she retracted it back, as if she felt that doing so now would hurt my self-esteem.

    I didn't dare look at Qiu Tong, I didn't even dare raise my head as I continued to eat and drink.

    After a while, Qiu Tong returned to normal and raised his cup to drink with me. I didn't even dare to look up as I clinked my cup with Qiu Tong and took a big gulp.

    Erguotou's power was not small at all. Even after drinking it, I still felt that it was tasty. Qiu Tong had almost finished her cup, so naturally, she would have a stronger taste of alcohol as well.

    Qiu Tong drank wine but she did not eat anything at all. She put down her wine cup and stared out the window in a daze.

    I secretly glanced at Qiu Tong, who was perspiring profusely. It seemed that she was getting hotter and hotter from drinking.

    Yi Ke, let me ask you a question. Qiu Tong didn't look at me, she was still looking out of the window. Do you believe that outside of our real world, there is still another illusory world?

    My heart trembled, I understand what Qiu Tong was thinking just now. It must have been the message I left for her that touched her.

    I calmed myself down and said, autumnum, I don't understand what you mean by that. What is this illusory world? Could it be the world where ghosts live?

    Qiu Tong turned around and looked at me, "Of course not. The illusory world that I'm talking about, exists objectively in the real world, but I can't see the other space that I'm not able to see. In this space, no one can see each other, but we can clearly feel each other's existence.

    I pretended to be enlightened. That's what I mean. I think it's something that exists, like a phone message or an internet connection.

    Qiu Tong nodded his head, Then, how far do you think there is between this kind of virtual reality and reality?

    This is hard to say. It depends on the level of communication we have in this illusory world. The level is shallow, it's tens of thousands of miles away, and the level is deep. It's just a hair's breadth away.

    Then, do you think that this illusory space is real? Qiu Tong looked at me.

    Of course it's real!

    Why?

    Although this space can't be seen or touched, people are real, their thoughts are real. As long as there is a real person's true thoughts, then this space will be real, it will be real!

    You're right. Qiu Tong nodded and said, Say, do you think the virtual world will become a reality?

    Whether or not the virtual reality can become a reality depends on the person in reality and what the person in reality does. My heart gave a sudden lurch.

    Sparks flew out of Qiu Tong's eyes, but, they were extinguished in a moment.

    Qiu Tong's gaze turned dim as I expected it, and my calm back to normal after a while. I know that personality determines fate, and Qiu Tong's personality determines the principles behind her character, and determines that she won't be unable to fight against Old Li and his wife, or against reality.

    After a while, Qiu Tong said slowly: Perhaps, to some people, only illusions are beautiful. That kind of beauty makes people linger around for a long time and they don't want to walk out. Reality was bitter, and many people would rather choose illusory sweetness than taste the bitterness of reality. Humans subconsciously want to avoid reality, even though that illusory beauty is a mirage that only appears once in a while, and might even be destroyed in the most brilliant of moments.

    Qiu Tong's voice revealed deep helplessness and melancholy.

    I quietly listened to what Qiu Tong was saying and did not say a word.

    CHAPTER 105 - GIVE ME A CIGARETTE

    I felt a sudden urge to smoke and felt for my cigarette case and lighter, but decided it was a closed sleeper, so I gave up.

    Just as he was about to put the cigarette box back in his pocket, Qiu Tong suddenly said: Yi Ke, I want to smoke.

    I was a little surprised and looked at Qiu Tong. You want to smoke? What?"

    Nothing, I just want a cigarette. What? Not giving? Qiu Tong said indifferently, his eyes suddenly showing signs of arrogance, and a trace of wildness.

    This is the first time I have seen this kind of thing in Qiu Tong's eyes, and I couldn't help but feel some excitement and novelty.

    Here — I handed Qiu Tong the cigarette case and lighter.

    Qiu Tong took it and pulled out a cigarette. Just as she was about to light it up, she suddenly stopped, looked at the door and said: Go and push the door open!

    Qiu Tong's tone of voice carried a commanding tone. I don't know why, but I didn't feel the slightest bit unwell. I even felt honored to go and push on the door obediently.

    When I returned, Qiu Tong had already lit up his cigarette and started smoking. A wisp of green smoke rose in front of her, and behind the smoke was Qiu Tong's cold and sentimental face.

    Looking at Qiu Tong's expression, I felt my heart ache. I was extremely regretful that I didn't leave her that message.

    However, there was nothing that could be done about it.

    After a while, Qiu Tong spoke with a calm voice. Yi Ke, you are surprised that I am able to say these words to you, right?

    I was not surprised, of course, but I nodded anyway. Yes, very! What happened to you?

    Me? Qiu Tong laughed, concealing her smile, No, it's just that a friend of mine had met with some troubles, I suddenly recalled something just now and had some feelings for you, so I wanted to communicate with you.

    Obviously, Qiu Tong was lying, but I couldn't expose her lies now, so I nodded my head: autumnum is a very thoughtful person, I am deeply touched.

    Qiu Tong smiled: Yi Ke, don't tell me you didn't think that what you said just now was worth reflecting on? I think you're a thinking person.

    My heart skipped a beat as I tried my best to smile, How could I have any thoughts? I was just spouting nonsense just now, autumnum is too kind!

    Qiu Tong did not bother with my words. She took a light puff on her cigarette and continued: Yi Ke, your words just now reminded me of a friend of mine. Your way of thinking is a bit similar to his.

    My brain went blank for a moment before I forced a smile. What does your friend do? "

    My friend … Qiu Tong muttered: That friend of mine is a manager of a company, an outstanding marketing expert. He is not only insightful about marketing, but he also has a lot of deep thinking about life, a realist ideal with romantic feelings.

    This is the first time I've heard Qiu Tong's evaluation of a foreign visitor from that world. My heart couldn't help but be a little excited, and I felt overwhelmed by the unexpected favor: Is he really that outstanding?

    Of course. Qiu Tong seemed to be slightly displeased with my question, she looked at me, and said intoxicatedly, He is an extremely outstanding person, at least in my eyes, although he is not at the moment at the glory point of his life, but I believe that one day, he will make everyone around look up to him.

    Qiu Tong's voice unconsciously revealed a little pride.

    I was growing more and more excited, more and more honored. I blurted out, Where is that friend of yours?

    Mingzhou of Zhejiang! Qiu Tong said.

    Just like me, he's also from the south! No, I said.

    Qiu Tong looked at me, and felt that I was comparing myself to him, and that I couldn't compare to him, so she said: You are from Yunnan, and he is from Zhejiang, you are thousands of miles away.

    I didn't know if Qiu Tong's words had another meaning, it wasn't just that his position was hundreds of thousands of miles away from mine, it also included ability and quality.

    I don't know whether or not working together with Qiu Tong in the future would allow Qiu Tong to see that I was more similar to this stranger after this exchange. Although I tried my best to avoid this kind of situation from happening, I am, after all, the same person as this stranger, so it's hard to avoid showing signs of it sometimes.

    I don't know if I'll be able to do perfectly in this area in the future. I know that in front of the intelligent and astute Qiu Tong, even the slightest bit of carelessness will cause me to fall back to my original form.

    Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little worried. I secretly reminded myself that I should pay more attention to this matter in the future and place great importance on it from the perspective of my thoughts.

    After finishing the wine, eating, and smoking, I cleaned up the mess around us and then went out to empty the trash. Qiu Tong stood up shakily and walked to the other side of the carriage as well, probably to go to the bathroom.

    The train we're on is green leather, the oldest and simplest kind of train in China right now. I'd like to see the other cars after I dump the garbage.

    When they got out of the soft sleeper carriage, they felt a chill in their face. Other than the soft sleeper carriage, there was no heating in the other cars, and the hard seat carriage in front was full of people. The aisle was filled with people, and the luggage rack was filled with large and small bags.

    Looking at the passengers' attire, the majority of them were laborers returning home from work. Many of them were old felt hats and friends. There were even children in their arms.

    Life is hard, I said, and came back.

    Not long after returning to the carriage, Qiu Tong returned with a woman carrying a child.

    Come on, sister-in-law, come in! Qiu Tong came in first, then turned her head and enthusiastically greeted the woman who carried a bag in her arms and hugged the child that was sleeping soundly.

    After the woman came in, Qiu Tong said to me, I just went to the bathroom, at the junction point between the soft sleeper and hard sleeper, and saw this sister-in-law sitting on the ground with her child. It was very cold outside, and both sister-in-law and the child were shivering from cold, so I called them over —

    So that's how it is, I hurriedly stood up and helped sister-in-law to take the child in her arms while Qiu Tong helped her to remove the bundle.

    Qiu Tong pointed to the top bunk and said to his sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, there's no one on these two beds. You and your child can sleep on them.

    The eldest sister-in-law timidly said, Sister, how can this make it so that I can't purchase a hard seat and a standing ticket. This is a soft sleeper, and I can't afford to pay this ticket.

    Qiu Tong took the child from my arms and said seriously to his sister-in-law: Sister-in-law, don't worry. My two friends bought the tickets for this bed, they didn't come back when they had something to do, so they left. It's a waste for it to be empty anyway. Here's the ticket. I have it in my hand.

    The elder sister-in-law looked at Qiu Tong and I and said gratefully, Sigh, thank you very much. Actually, I am not afraid of the cold. Sisters, brothers, you really are good people.

    I looked at Qiu Tong, she actually had a face full of shame, she pursed her lips and did not say anything further, but hurried to help my sister-in-law up. She also settled the child who was still sleeping soundly on the other bed, covered her with a blanket, and carefully tucked her under the blanket.

    I also put my sister-in-law's luggage on the luggage rack.

    Perhaps Eldest Sis was very tired, so she quickly fell asleep.

    Just then, Qiu Tong and I sat back down at a place far away from each other. Qiu Tong whispered to me, "Sigh … I've done something bad and I feel uneasy.

    With that, Qiu Tong suddenly stuck her tongue out and laughed complacently.

    Looking at Qiu Tong's rarely seen childish smile, I couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch her small and exquisite nose. But, I didn't dare to think about doing it.

    Ahhh — go to sleep, Yuan Duo's big brother! Qiu Tong shut the carriage door, turned off the lights, returned to her bunk and laid down. She pulled up her blanket and muttered, With Big bodyguard here, I can finally sleep in peace. The wheels are rolling towards the prairie. Tomorrow, we will see the snow-covered prairie in the winter. Good night."

    Good night, autumnum! Although Qiu Tong is joking
