Chapter 102 Black Porridge is also Happy
Qin Tiantian stared at the skinny man for a few seconds before she said firmly, "I'm sorry, I can't do it. I've spent so much time training not just to fill my vanity with glory, but also to fight for the love of life and for the honor of my country. The spirit of sports is to face challenges head-on and persevere. I can't back down because of something that hasn't happened yet. First of all, I don't believe in fate, and I don't believe my life is predetermined."
Wang Huang couldn't understand why Qin Tiantian was working so hard. Could it be that the so-called love and the honor of the country and family were really more important than one's own life?
He didn't understand. Isn't it more important to be alive? When you die, you lose everything.
To his question, the girl replied:
"Some people live for themselves, while others live as the hope of many others. They are no longer just individuals. Now that I have come this far, my future is no longer just about me.
My family has not been easy to raise me, and my progress to where I am today is a result of tremendous effort on both the provincial and national teams. Wang Huang, you may not know that I've gotten to this point by stepping on the failures of countless others. Hundreds of people trained with me, but in the end, only my roommate and I qualified to compete for our country in the biathlon.
For those eliminated, their families, the provincial governments they represent, and even themselves have invested enormous time, energy, and resources. If I give up because of the uncertain outcome, I would not only be sorry for the provincial team that sent me out, but also for my family's nurturing of me since childhood, and even for the expectations placed on me by the national team coach.
"I've come this far with high hopes placed on me. I've embarked on this journey carrying the hopes of so many people. So, I really can't give up. What you see may not be true. What if the result is not what you expected? If people just lay low after knowing their fate, then aren't we too mechanical? I believe there are many unknown forces in this world, but I also believe that man can conquer nature."
The girl stated her thoughts very firmly, but Wang Huang could not empathize with her.
Wang Huang lives in a poor family.
When he was a child, his father went to his boss's house to collect a debt and was beaten by the boss with one leg broken. The boss colluded with local officials and businessmen, not only did not return the money, but also made it impossible for the family to complain.
The mother wanted to seek justice for her father, and she went through a lot of hardships to file a complaint. Although she got the appropriate compensation for her father, she was criminally detained and sent to a labor camp because of the violation of the petition.
Not long after my mother was released from labor reform, she fell from a height while building a beam for the house and became paralyzed on one side of her body. She has been unable to walk ever since, which has made things even worse for our impoverished family.
Some families are like this, because misfortunes continue to happen, and the recurring misfortunes make people very desperate.
The lame father not only had to take care of his mother with great difficulty, but also had to grow vegetables to survive.
When Wang Huang was eight years old, in order to make ends meet, the child would pull a small cart and walk for two hours to the town to sell vegetables at four o'clock every day, and then go to school after selling the vegetables.
There is no tuition fee for the nine years of compulsory education. He sells vegetables every week and with his father’s subsistence allowance, he can raise enough money for tuition and miscellaneous fees.
Wang Huang always ranked first in his studies and even ranked first in the county in the high school entrance examination, and was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city and a key provincial middle school.
However, high school not only requires paying tuition, but also living expenses are not low.
But if he went to school in the city, he would not be able to take care of his lame father and paralyzed mother at home.
The family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, so Wang Huang decided to give up high school and work as a bricklayer near home so that he could earn money and take care of his parents.
After hearing about his difficulties, his junior high school teacher brought a US citizen to find him and said that the foreigner named Li Smith was willing to sponsor him to finish college and would even pay to send his parents to a nursing home. The facilities there were complete and more suitable for his parents' retirement, and the caregivers could also take good care of his parents.
Li Simi funded him and even helped him solve his parents' problems without requiring him to pay back the money.
Wang Huang accepted Li Smith's funding and reported his academic progress to Li Smith regularly. Li Smith, like a father and brother, told him how free and democratic the United States was.
As an American, Li Smith described the United States as the only free land on Earth. Wang Huang, whose values were still immature and worldly-wise, was deeply fascinated by the free world he described.
He even secretly vowed that after graduating from college, he would definitely visit the United States!
Li Smith also promised him: "If you can get an offer for a doctoral program in the United States, I can continue to support you until you graduate with your doctorate. Then, you can stay in the United States to work, bring your parents over, and live happily in this free and democratic country."
Brainwashed by the idea that "the moon in the United States is rounder than that in China", Wang Huang gradually became a "fan of the United States".
His grades were actually good enough to get him admitted to Imperial University and Qingdao University, but he listened to Li Simi and applied to Yanjing University.
Yanjing University’s flagship major is information countermeasure technology, and Li Simi hopes that Wang Huang will join the project team during his college years.
Wang Huang lived up to his benefactor's expectations and joined the professor's project team in his sophomore year and published a paper entitled "Passive Sonar Broadband Signal Detection Method."
Li Smith planned to have him work at the China Institute 05 after he graduated from graduate school, and then apply to study for a doctorate in the United States.
By this point, Li Simi's goal had become very clear.
He funded Wang Huang's training only to train them as spies for the United States. These people were very smart. They knew that adults were not easy to brainwash, so they chose children who had suffered hardships since childhood and came from very poor families but had excellent academic performance.
Children aged fourteen or fifteen are the most suitable, neither too old nor too old.
Children of this age have immature values and don't need to be nurtured from a young age. They have no experience and are like "frogs in a well". As long as they are brainwashed a little, they will succeed.
Li Smith knew that Wang Huang was capable, so he funded him to start a company.
The company is located in the United States, and the major is also related to Wang Huang's major. Wang Huang's work tasks are not heavy, but he travels to the United States on business very frequently.
When Wang Huang was a junior, he followed a teacher whom he had always admired. The teacher also treated him as a favorite student and the two had a good relationship.
The teacher noticed something was wrong with Wang Huang because he often revealed in his words how wonderful he thought the United States was.
The teacher began to correct him, and gradually, Wang Huang also discovered that something was wrong with Li Simi. Especially when he began to travel frequently to the United States on business, he found that the so-called "democracy" in the United States was not what he imagined.
When he was in his senior year, Li Simi arranged for him to take the same flight as Qin Tiantian. Following Li Simi's instructions, he began to get close to Qin Tiantian and became friends with her.
When he knew what Li Simi asked her to do, Wang Huang sternly refused. However, Li Simi began to reveal his true colors at this time, threatening him with his parents and even asking him to pay back the money.
His life has been controlled by Li Smith, and he has no choice but to obey Li Smith and start contacting Qin Tiantian.
But the more he interacted with Qin Tiantian, the more reluctant he became to deceive and hurt her.
Li Simi asked him to use his relationship with Qin Tiantian to make her lose in the Winter Olympics. If he could complete the task, they would be even.
Wang Huang finally couldn't bear it anymore and told Qin Tiantian the truth on the day she said goodbye to him.
That day, Wang Huang came to the ski resort to see him, but because of the bad weather that night, heavy snow blocked the town and he was trapped in the town and could not go back for the time being.
The two spent a few days together. On the day Wang Huang was about to leave the town, Qin Tiantian took the boy's hand and took the initiative to confess to him:
"Wang Huang, I like you. Will you be my boyfriend?"
Wang Huang was so dizzy from the girl's kiss that his mind was completely paralyzed and he had no idea what was going on in his head.
Qin Tiantian chased him relentlessly, holding him like a log: "What's wrong? Don't you like me? But if you didn't like me, why would you come all the way to see me? Even if we were just friends, it wouldn't be this serious, right? Wang Huang, just admit it. Is it that hard to admit that you like me?"
Wang Huang was not afraid to admit it, but she was worried that after he knew the truth about his approach to her, he would no longer pay attention to him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qin Tiantian threatened him: "If you don't agree to me, I will post our photos on Weibo tomorrow and say that the brother I like doesn't like me, and ask fans to give me some advice. I have more than one million fans. If you don't want to become a little famous, just agree to me."
Wang Huang liked this girl so much that he was even willing to ignore Li Simi's threats.
He sighed and said, "Tiantian, I can't agree to be your boyfriend. I'm not worthy. You're a good girl, everyone loves you, but we're destined to be from two different worlds, both in the past and in the future. Besides, I deceived you, and my purpose in approaching you wasn't pure."
Qin Tiantian asked back: "Does it need to be pure to get close to someone?"
Wang Huang said, "Tiantian, this world isn't what you think it is, with so many good and responsible people. Not everyone in this world is like you, born a pampered child with no worries about food and clothing."
He sent his original background resume to Qin Tiantian and whispered, "Tiantian, this is my original background information. It's different from what you know before. My parents, one is paralyzed, and the other has a broken leg. My father was able to take care of my mother in his early years, but in recent years his health has deteriorated and he can only be cared for by a caregiver. They are now in a nursing home, which requires high fees every month and every year.
I was supposed to drop out of school because I was poor. But then an American named Li Smith not only funded my education but also fully covered my parents' nursing home expenses. He took advantage of me without my knowledge and exploited many of our team's research results. Now, he's using my parents as a threat to force me to approach you, under the guise of love, to ruin your future and your life.
Wang Huang apologized to her with an embarrassed look on his face: "Sorry, Tiantian, I'm sorry."
Qin Tiantian didn't expect this to happen, but she quickly chose to forgive Wang Huang.
She shook her head and said, "It's okay. First, you haven't done anything hurtful or excessive to me. Second, I'm happy that you can be honest with me under such pressure. It shows that I also hold a very important place in your heart. At the same time, congratulations on turning back from your mistakes and having a clear conscience. We can still be good friends."
Wang Huang, my mother once told me something that I still find useful, so I’d like to tell it to you today.
She said that as human beings, we all have our own complex experiences. Everyone has to go through some setbacks and injustices. Therefore, a seed of evil may grow in everyone's heart, and everyone has a very dark and invisible side. No one is perfect, and no one is a saint.
But we must learn to control these evil thoughts and not be dominated by desire. If a person can turn back from his mistakes, he can also become a shining light that can illuminate others and be great.
She paused, then continued, "Just like you are now, you haven't hurt me, and you told me the truth at a critical moment, which has made me wary of other people and wary of other spies besides you."
Wang Huang asked her in return, "Aren't you angry?"
She shook her head. "I'm not angry. You didn't hurt me, so why should I be angry? I just didn't expect that I was so strong in the eyes of the Americans. They actually sent handsome guys to seduce me. I wasn't very confident before, but suddenly I feel like I can win a Winter Olympics championship!"
Since then, the two have been getting along as friends.
Wang Huang also rejected Li Simi's request to be a "spy" and found a way to repay all the money Li Simi had sponsored him.
He earned a lot of money by working as a part-time online tutor, which was just enough to cover his parents' monthly nursing home fees and his own living expenses.
After dealing with the troubles with Li Simi, Wang Huang returned to China and began to devote himself to his studies.
He originally wanted to completely cut off contact with Qin Tiantian and gradually become a "strangers" with whom he did not communicate.
But not long ago, he had a dream.
In his dream, he saw a huge black dragon coming on the clouds, which was very oppressive.
The dragon told him, "Congratulations on becoming my new virus. I am your main god. Do you want to become a world tycoon free from suffering? Now I give you a chance! From now on, you must do things according to the script I give you. You must use your sweet words to make Qin Tiantian die tragically in a foreign country. If you can complete the script, you will become the new rich man of this world.
If you disobey my orders, I will punish you. All the pain Qin Tiantian suffers will be reflected on you. You must obey me in all respects, otherwise, you will die a miserable death.
For some days afterwards, Wang Huang often had this dream.
He thought he was hypnotized by Li Simi inadvertently, so he had this nightmare that continued to hurt Qin Tiantian.
He started seeing a psychiatrist, but the dream continued.
Until one day, when Qin Tiantian's period came, his lower abdomen began to ache and the pain was unbearable.
Not only that, every time he felt pain, he would have a terrible hallucination.
It wasn't so much an illusion as it was that when he felt Qin Tiantian's pain, he could see everything from the girl's perspective. He recalled the dream and realized that something was wrong.
In order to prove this strange thing, Wang Huang began to video chat with Qin Tiantian frequently.
Then he discovered—
When Qin Tiantian's aunt was in pain, he felt the pain for her.
Qin Tiantian fell and scraped her skin during training, and he began to get scratches on the same part of his body for no apparent reason.
When Qin Tiantian accidentally bit her tongue while eating, her tongue was inexplicably broken.
…
Wang Huang finally realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately flew to Zhili to meet Qin Tiantian.
He told the girl about this incredible pain transfer, but Qin Tiantian believed that the Americans had implanted some high-tech chip in Wang Huang and that they would do anything to control Wang Huang.
Not long after, Qin Tiantian fell from a high slope during training. Strangely, she should have been injured and fractured, but apart from minor abrasions, she had no other injuries on her body, and she was able to quickly get up and jump around lively.
But Wang Huang was not so lucky. He had been staying in the apartment all the time, but when he woke up, he not only had many wounds on his body, but his leg was also broken!
Qin Tiantian rushed to take care of him immediately after she found out, and she temporarily believed what Wang Huang said.
Wang Huang, on the other hand, believed that there were too many unknown forces in this world that were eyeing Qin Tiantian covetously. Even though he could share the pain with Qin Tiantian and even try to protect him, he knew how weak his own power was.
If this continues, those who are hiding in the dark and don't want Qin Tiantian to win the award for Hua Guo will come forward to stop her, or even take his life.
The more Wang Huang thought about it, the more scared he became. He just hoped that the little girl could live safely and not die young.
A few days later, Qin Tiantian’s three “brothers” arrived in Zhili. They followed Qin Tiantian to the apartment and revealed his previous dark history in front of Qin Tiantian.
Qin Tiantian not only chose to believe him, but also said to the three brothers: "Xingxing, Cao Yue, Sun Shaoqi, I know you are doing this for my own good, but if you really want to do this for my own good, then leave me alone. I don't care about his past. He has never hurt me, and he has never thought of hurting me. Besides, he is my boyfriend now, and his leg was broken because of me. I must take care of him."
Chu Xing didn't understand.
Cao Yue also didn't understand: "Tiantian, do you know that he is a liar? Even a traitor who stole the country?"
Sun Shaoqi was also very disappointed: "Yeah, Tiantian, don't be fooled by him, wake up! He is an out-and-out liar, he is interfering with you under the orders of the United States! Damn, the United States is so disgusting, they even use the beauty trick!"
The little girl didn't know how to explain it to them, so she said, "If you three are really doing this for my own good, then just leave here and don't get involved in my business. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
All three of them were stunned.
Tiantian, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, may have a bad temper, but she never quarreled with them. However, for a mere man's beauty, she not only ordered them to leave, but also quarreled with them!
The consequences of this nature can be very serious.
Fortunately, after a few days, the three-year-old boy group got the news that Xue Qi was coming to Zhili!
This news is undoubtedly exciting.
The Emperor's mother has sharp eyes, how can a vixen escape her eyes?
Besides, Qin Tiantian is fearless, but she is completely subdued by this little stepmother.
When Xue Qi arrives, he will definitely be able to pull Qin Tiantian out of the love-brained atmosphere, let her break up with that cheating man as soon as possible, and resume training!
-
After resting for a night, Xue Qi went to the ski resort as a parent to watch Qin Tiantian train.
The sp ski resort has a complex terrain and the snow scenery is breathtaking. Standing high on the snow slope, you can see the ice-blue Inle Lake not far away.
Qin Tiantian practiced from eight or one in the morning to eleven o'clock. When her body was exhausted, she slowly slid down the snow slope and came to Xue Qi.
Xue Qi cooked a pot of hot porridge for her. When he poured it into a cup and handed it to her, wisps of hot steam were still coming out.
Qin Tiantian held the cup lid and took a sip of the thick black porridge. It contained not only millet to slow down the rise of blood sugar, but also pork ribs that were cut into small pieces. When she drank it with Tommy, it was very chewy.
It has been a long time since Qin Tiantian had eaten the hot soup and hot rice made by Xue Qi. At this moment, holding the hot soup, she felt a sense of happiness.
After she finished five cups, Xue Qi said, "Can you take me to see your boyfriend?"
Qin Tiantian froze, thinking that what was supposed to happen had finally come. After all, the truth would come out. She couldn't hide it either, so she could only bite the bullet and confess honestly:
"Mom, you often tell me that sometimes the information leaked from the outside world isn't necessarily true. I know Cao Yue and the others don't trust Wang Huang, but I've been with him the longest, and I know what kind of person he is. He hasn't hurt me, and when I confessed my feelings to him, he took the initiative to expose his background, hoping that I would stay away from him.
But then, something happened between us that's hard to explain scientifically. To be honest, I still don't understand what happened. "Mom, believe me, he's not a bad person. He broke his leg for me, in a foreign country, isolated and helpless, it's pretty miserable."
Xue Qi didn't say much, but simply said, "Take me to see it."
Qin Tiantian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can I give him the remaining half of the porridge?"
Xue Qi: "The things are for you, you can do whatever you want with them."
Qin Tiantian put Xue Qi's porridge into her schoolbag as if it were a treasure, and then said, "Let's go, Mom. I'll take you to see him."
Wang Huang lived in an apartment in a small town. Because he could not move, he lay in bed. Not only did he look haggard, but he was also skin and bones.
Wang Huang was still sleeping due to exhaustion. He slowly opened his eyes when he heard the noise approaching.
His eyes were a little blurry, and he couldn't see properly. He just asked with half-closed eyes: "Tiantian, who is this beautiful lady? Am I hallucinating? She even looks like a fairy..."
Wang Huang felt that he must be hallucinating, otherwise how could a fairy-like figure appear in his shabby apartment.
Xue Qi raised the corners of her lips and said calmly, "Tiantian, your boyfriend has a nice mouth. If he dies, cut off his mouth and make it into a specimen for preservation."
Qin Tiantian whispered, "Seven Mom, he is Wang Huang. He is sick and can't get out of bed to greet you for the time being. Please don't mind."
Xue Qi nodded, looked around, and felt that there was nowhere to put his hips.
She glanced at Qin Tiantian and asked, "Tianmei, can you wipe the stool for Mommy? Mommy wants to sit."
Qin Tiantian said "Oh", immediately wiped the stool for Xue Qi and handed it to him.
The woman sat down proudly beside the bed, legs crossed. She looked at Wang Huang and said slowly, "Tiantian, your boyfriend is seriously ill. Why don't you take him to the hospital?"
Qin Tiantian immediately explained, "I went to see a doctor. He said the broken leg bone needs to be healed slowly, but he didn't find any other problems."
Xue Qi asked back: "No problem? Then how long do you think he can live now?"
Qin Tiantian asked back: "Ten years?"
Xue Qi: "Ten days. He's almost dying. His energy and spirit have been severely depleted."
Qin Tiantian was so frightened that her whole body tensed up: "What should I do?"
Xue Qi: "We have to help him heal his leg. Once he has a leg, the rest will be easy."
Qin Tiantian remembered that her leg was healed by Xue Qi using medicinal food, and immediately asked, "Seven Mom, can you give him some dietary therapy?"
Xue Qi: "That's no problem, but you have to promise me one thing."
Qin Tiantian bit her lip, as if she had made a great sacrifice: "Okay, I promise you. As long as you can cure him, I will break up with him!"
Xue Qi: "That's not it. I want you to urge him to send me good morning, good afternoon, and good night messages every day. Three times a day, he must give me satisfactory praise."
Qin Tiantian: "Huh?"
Xue Qi stared at the top of Wang Huang's head.
[Infected by the Shenlong system virus, forced to endure the pain of cannon fodder Qin Tiantian. ]
[Qin Tiantian's rotten leg 1 obtained. Because of disobeying the dragon god, she is being punished with injuries. No abnormalities can be found. She is expected to die in seven days.]
