A glitch during a system upgrade at a certain game boosting studio accidentally grants them the "Otherworld Boosting System." As long as they log into the system, the studio members will be...
Today is Tuesday of the second week of late summer, a very ordinary day.
There were no festivals or celebrations in the city; everything was the same as usual. After a hearty meal, people would typically take a walk in the park near their homes.
Two years later, the five reunited and ate until late at night.
The three men were completely drunk when the average volume across the city dropped below 40 decibels.
"Xiao Xing really has foresight, preparing a guest room for himself, isn't that admirable?" Xiao He, who doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, nodded as he cleared away the plates.
Wang Xuefeng tossed Huo Lei and Yang Xing into separate rooms, then took over Xiao He's work, saying, "You help Lele into the room too; the third room is empty."
"Okay, then you take the dishes to the kitchen first, and I'll come back to wash them with you in a bit." Xiao He wiped his hands, walked to Dai Lele's side, lifted her up, and gently walked towards the empty room.
Wang Xuefeng didn't drink much, because he had to leave later. He was just worried about Xiao He and wanted to personally escort her back before he felt at ease.
In the room, Xiao He placed Dai Lele on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
However, just as Xiao He was about to withdraw her hand, Dai Lele grabbed her and asked in a daze, "Where are we going?"
Xiao He patted her hand helplessly: "Xuefeng is about to leave, I need to see him off."
"Leave? You've only been back for half a day and you're already leaving?!" Dai Lele's consciousness instantly returned to half of its previous state.
"Yes." Xiao He nodded. "He has some important matters to attend to."
"No?" Dai Lele even tried to get up: "You're pregnant now, why isn't he staying by your side? What is he doing running off to?!"
"I'll tell you later..." Xiao He glanced back unconsciously, not wanting Wang Xuefeng to feel pressured.
"Later? It's already so late! Can't we leave in the morning? It's not safe to travel at night!"
"It's alright, he's not a child anymore. He knows what's important and what's urgent. Let him decide for himself." Xiao He comforted her softly, "You should rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"..."
Dai Lele reluctantly lay back down.
Watching Xiao He close the door and leave, a sudden silence filled my ears.
Under the hypnotic effect of alcohol, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
In her dream, she returned to that summer when Wang Xuefeng first arrived...
-
Midnight.
Xiao He and his companion arrived at Jia Bo's airship as agreed.
The words "Flying Dragon II" are clearly painted on this airship.
"Where's your old little wrecked boat?" Xiao He asked curiously as soon as he came in.
"It's too worn out, I don't want it anymore," Jia Bo continued, following her lead.
Wang Xuefeng, who was standing nearby, immediately noticed the little boy lying in the cradle, sleeping so soundly that it was hard to disturb him.
Despite his surprise, Xiao He lowered his voice and asked, "When did you bring your son here?"
"Lingling brought it here. I told her you would be coming tonight, so she left the baby here so you could see him." Jia Bo said with a smug smile on his face.
"So what if you're looking? What are you laughing at?" Xiao He raised an eyebrow.
"I'm laughing at you! When are you going to lay an egg?" Jia Bo mimicked her expression, not only raising his eyebrows but also deliberately twitching them.
"Hiss... I almost lost?" Xiao He curled his lips into a half-smile.
Jia Bo glanced at the two of them suspiciously, but still smiled confidently and asked, "Almost? What do you mean? You're going to beat me?"
Xiao He pointed to his flat belly, his imposing manner not diminishing at all.
"Me, twins, a boy and a girl, and you still haven't lost?"
"Holy crap?!"
Jia Bo's smile froze, and his eyes sharpened at the same time.
"That would be great! Let's free up our younger sister and arrange a marriage between our children!"
"Get out of here! You're already eyeing my baby before he's even born?" If he weren't wearing short sleeves, Xiao He would have rolled them up by now.
Faced with her "threat," Jia Bo remained unfazed: "Of course! With such excellent genes, I have to try my best to get them."
Upon hearing this, Xiao He suddenly smiled mysteriously, his tone becoming slow and elusive: "Then you must teach me well... Opportunities are fair for everyone..."
"Huh?" Jia Bo immediately understood; she was exposing his shortcomings.
If it weren't for the "divine intervention" of the two people in front of him, his marriage with Zhu would still be in jeopardy!
If he were to "teach" on his own now, how could he possibly match Wang Xuefeng's "level"?
"Sigh..." Jia Bo sadly chose to give up.
"Speaking of which, won't he cry if we leave him here all night?" Wang Xuefeng asked curiously, as he had never taken care of such a young child before.
“The child’s mother is working overtime and will come to take him away later,” Jia Bo explained.
Xiao He was taken aback: "She's that busy?"
“Yes.” Jia Bo nodded: “She manages several markets by herself and is always very busy. Our parents and the maid take care of the children, and they are only brought back to sleep at night.”
"So that's how it is..." Xiao He nodded thoughtfully.
The three sat around the coffee table, chatting quietly.
This includes the development of Flying Dragon City over the past two years, changes in the market and shopping malls, and the surrounding battle situation that Xiao He is most concerned about.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. The Omega branch has withdrawn from Dragon City," Jia Bo suddenly remembered and casually mentioned.
"Is that so?" Xiao He didn't seem to care.
"Because a while ago, they tried to issue an arrest warrant without permission, and it had your photo on it."
"What?" Xiao He narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure it's me?"
"Yes, it's your photo, and it's your name."
"this……"
"Later, the message was intercepted by the master, and the arrest warrant was never issued. Half an hour later, Omega was expelled, and that's how they left." As Jia Bo spoke, he retrieved relevant information from the "computer" and projected it on the wall for the two to see.
This is Yang Xing's internal information and will not be leaked to the common people. The common people can only see a newspaper that reads "Omega withdraws from Flying Dragon City".
The newspaper reported that the original Omega Building had been converted into a regular commercial building, but some fashion showrooms were still retained and rented out to local fashion companies...
“Yes, it would be good to expel them!” Xiao He immediately agreed.
Yang Xing was used to doing things by eliminating all traces of the problem. When he said "expelled," he meant that he would take away their life and nothing else.
Li Xiaozhi's family has close ties with Omega headquarters, and Omega also has close ties with certain branches of the committee.
As they pushed down the ranks, it's not surprising that they eventually focused their attention on Xiao He.
"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise it would have been embarrassing if I had stayed in the capital and given myself away..."
Xiao He scratched his head sheepishly, then couldn't help but chuckle.
