He was the one who kept Zhao Xuerou up until almost four o'clock last night, and today he doesn't have to go to work, yet Zhao Xuerou still got up at six to make him breakfast...
"Tsk."
He smacked his lips in annoyance and sat down at the dining table.
Faced with a table full of delicious food, Jiang Cheng found it difficult to swallow.
Whether it was the guilt in his heart or the lingering effects of last night's alcohol, Jiang Cheng only managed a few bites before he couldn't eat anymore.
"never mind."
He held his breath, drank the last sip of milk, frowned, put on his coat, and prepared to go out.
To be honest, the taste of this breakfast was almost a perfect match for his usual eating habits. Not only the sweetness, but also the style was exactly what Jiang Cheng liked. The bread was toasted just right, with a slightly crispy crust while the filling remained soft. The fact that there were no red dates in the oatmeal porridge was especially appealing to him.
If they hadn't spent a long time together and gotten to know each other, how could Zhao Xuerou have known such subtle characteristics of Jiang Cheng?
Thinking about this, Jiang Cheng felt even more guilty towards Zhao Xuerou.
She had already put in a lot of effort...
Just as he reached the coffee table, intending to grab his phone and head out, a business card caught Jiang Cheng's attention.
Zhao Xuerou from XC6 Cartography Company
The line of text above caught Jiang Cheng's attention.
This is clearly Zhao Xuerou's business card.
Jiang Cheng picked it up and flipped through it casually for a couple of seconds before opening his phone and searching for "XC6 Cartography Company" in the browser.
This company was not highlighted in the entry, which suggests it is not a particularly well-known enterprise.
He simply opened the map and started searching again.
Soon, a company address matching his search criteria appeared. This mapping company was more than 30 kilometers away from where they currently lived.
This means that during the morning rush hour, Zhao Xuerou's commute to work involved walking ten minutes to the subway station, taking the subway for sixteen stops, transferring to a bus for eight stops, and then walking for another ten minutes to reach the company. This journey would take at least fifty minutes, and if she encountered traffic jams or missed the subway, it would easily exceed an hour.
So even if Zhao Xuerou gets up at 6:30 to prepare breakfast, she can't have a hot meal at home. She can only grab a cold slice of bread and run out the door to catch the subway...
This is Jiang Cheng's life in the dream world, isn't it?
The more Jiang Cheng thought about all this, the more gloomy and ugly his face became. He didn't even notice that the plain business card without any dark patterns was crumpled in his hand. Instead, he continued to be immersed in this emotion.
Having faced this life clearly, Jiang Cheng was indeed... very surprised after learning all this.
Just as more thoughts were beginning to surface in his mind, a transcendent voice suddenly appeared in his consciousness: "Boss, all of this is fake. You can't take it too seriously."
"Fake……"
Jiang Cheng repeated the two words, then closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the emotions in his eyes had returned to calm.
Indeed, Gu Qingwan's reminder was timely.
He absolutely cannot fall into this emotional state; otherwise, once he gets caught up in it, or truly becomes addicted to life in the dream world, he might never be able to go back...
After calming himself down on the sofa, Jiang Cheng decided on everything he wanted to do next.
Since he had already promised Zhao Xuerou that he would go to check out that property development, he definitely had to go. Besides, he could also spend some time looking for the projector during this time.
"Boss, the research and integration are complete."
At the same time, Gu Qingwan's voice appeared again at just the right moment.
She was completely aligned with Jiang Cheng's way of thinking, so she naturally knew what to say and when to say it.
"explain."
Jiang Cheng sat back down at the table and hastily stuffed the last two bites of the completely cold fried egg into his mouth.
It wasn't out of guilt for Zhao Xuerou's hard work; Jiang Cheng simply disliked the feeling of wasting things.
"Based on all previous research, it can be proven that when the main character appears, the projection in the dream plane will immediately hide in the object that accompanies the main character. Moreover, it cannot be just any object; it must be something that the main character spends every day with."
Upon hearing the information provided by Gu Qingwan, Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked around the room: "So, according to you, this projection is currently on something in the house?"
"That's right, and this item is very likely to have a very deep connection with you."
Gu Qingwan continued to explain, "You can use my eyes to scan now. Perhaps the results will be better."
"That makes sense."
Jiang Cheng blinked a few times, a silvery-white ripple flashing in his eyes. The next second, his entire eye was shrouded in a gray mist. If anyone were beside Jiang Cheng at that moment, they would definitely find the scene extremely eerie.
But for Jiang Cheng, it was as if his vision was now being scanned. Every item, once locked onto by his gaze, had nowhere to hide, let alone anything concealed within it. Furthermore, Gu Qingwan had categorized and compiled everything into a "file." The next time he wanted to find something in the house, a simple search within this "file" would provide the answer.
However, even with such a high-intensity and meticulous scan, Jiang Cheng did not get any answers.
