Chapter 99 Yu X Xu
When Xu Weiyi met Yu Qian, he was working in a nightclub.
The job description is simple and requires no technical skills. I serve drinks, clean up, and help the bartender when I'm too busy.
She worked the night shift, from 9 PM to 6 AM, two days on and one day off. Because of the reversed day and night schedule, her salary was slightly higher than that of a regular waitress, which was a welcome relief for her, as she was short of money.
The only trouble was that she always encountered some customers with bad intentions, most of whom were greasy men who smoked cheap cigarettes and stared at her with greedy eyes, trying to touch her or even negotiate the price with her.
Xu Weiyi ignored them all and just did his own thing.
It was an ordinary night. Xu Weiyi came to a booth with a tray, put down his drinks, and was about to leave when someone grabbed his wrist.
A man in his twenties pulled her to a seat with a grin, "Beautiful girl, come and have a drink."
This wasn't the first time Xu Weiyi had encountered something like this. He calmly shook off the man's hand and said, "Sorry, I'm still working."
"Work? Isn't your job to accompany guests to drink?"
The other man was a little drunk and spoke in an impatient tone.
He fished in his bag, pulled out a few banknotes, and slammed them on the table. "I asked you to come along because I wanted to give you face. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."
Xu Weiyi glanced at the people in the booth. They were a group of young men wearing designer clothes. They were either rich or noble. It was obvious that they were people she couldn't afford to offend.
"Sorry, I don't drink with you," Xu Weiyi said. "If you do this again, I'll call security."
After hearing what she said, the man not only did not back down, but burst into laughter.
He waved his hands, unscrupulously, "You can yell as much as you want, I'll see who dares to come over."
This is someone you don't want to mess with.
Xu Weiyi's scalp tingled, and he was at a loss as to what to do when a lazy voice suddenly sounded behind him, "What are you afraid of?"
She turned around and saw a stunningly beautiful face.
The pretty woman in the next booth had come over at some point. She rested her arm on the back of the seat between the two booths, her chin propped up, and glanced over with a half-smile.
The woman was wearing a V-neck black halter dress, and her long hair, dyed light blonde, was gathered to one side, revealing a large area of fair skin.
When someone came to the rescue, Xu Weiyi's first reaction was not happiness or relief, but worry.
Because the strange woman in front of her was so beautiful, she was afraid that those men would have some bad intentions and implicate her.
However, unexpectedly, the young masters who had been so arrogant just now were all silent at this moment, as if they had been silenced.
After a long silence, one of the men who looked like the leader finally stepped forward with a smile on his face. "What a coincidence, isn't this Mr. Yu? My apologies."
The woman called Xiao Yu didn't even look at him. She just extended her hand and beckoned Xu Weiyi, "You, come here."
Xu Weiyi hurried over and stood next to the woman, acting like a bully, his back straightened a little.
She had never heard of Mr. Yu, but the change in attitude of these men before her said it all.
The man failed in his attempt to get close to others, but he still didn't give up.
He picked up the wine, stood up and walked towards the woman's booth, "Mr. Yu, since we met, it's fate. I toast you a glass."
The woman smiled coldly, "You don't deserve it."
Success made the man freeze in his tracks.
Later, everything developed smoothly. Xu Weiyi and the woman exchanged contact information, got together, and each got what they needed.
Or maybe it's more than just a matter of mutual benefit.
At least not for Xu Weiyi.
Yu Qian is beautiful, charming, young and wealthy. Although she has many shortcomings in her character, she is the best person to her since she was born.
I give her money regularly, take her to stores she never dared to go to before, eat at high-end restaurants she has never eaten at, and give her small gifts on holidays.
For Yu Qian, it was just a trivial investment, but for Xu Weiyi, it was a very generous gift.
After struggling alone for so long, how can I not be moved when such a person suddenly appears?
But Xu Weiyi knew very well that Yu Qian did not love her and would never love her.
This is not a healthy relationship. She is just one of Yu Qian's friends, an insignificant passer-by in her life, fleeting and gone in a flash.
So she was inferior and twisted, and her relationship with Yu Qian was bumpy and full of thorns. She was not a competent lover.
Later on, he even stood against Yu Qian and fought against her.
When he took action that day, Xu Weiyi felt no guilt.
If Yu Qian can abandon her for her own happiness, then she can also abandon Yu Qian for a better future. This is fair.
But even so, Yu Qian never did anything to hurt her, and even helped her once later.
Although Xu Weiyi acted heartless and didn't seem to take the matter to heart at all, he felt uncomfortable every time he thought about it.
"Don't get distracted, this won't be a safe zone soon."
Xu Weiyi came to his senses.
It was completely dark, and the light from the street lamps was as dim as beans, like the twinkling fireflies in the forest on a summer night.
The game mechanics of the second round are not difficult, to put it simply it is about running away from the poison.
After the countdown appeared, a blood-colored amusement park map quickly appeared in the air. The blank part on it was the safe zone, and the area covered by black fog was the poisonous zone.
The direction in which the black fog will spread and the area it will cover are marked. You need to observe the speed at which the fog will spread and estimate the time, avoid the poisonous gas and move to a safe area to gain a short period of safety, and then wait for the next round of running away from the poison.
"I know." Xu Weiyi leaned on his crutches and tried to speed up.
It was called a cane, but in reality it was just two branches of suitable thickness, barely enough to support her walking. But without half a leg, her speed was definitely not as good as usual.
When turning, the crutch hit a stone, and Xu Weiyi's body suddenly lost balance and fell to one side.
Before she fell, a hand reached out to support her, "Watch the road."
Xu Weiyi said, "I'm watching."
Similar situations occurred frequently along the way, and Yu Qian rescued her several times. Because she needed help from others, she had no confidence to speak.
After saying that, I couldn't help but look at the other person's expression.
Yu Qian concentrated on getting on the road, looking up at the map in the air from time to time.
Street lights passed by one after another, and the light and shadow changed, shrouding her delicate profile.
Xu Weiyi was worried that Yu Qian would tease her like she did in the past. The relationship between the two of them was not close to begin with, and coupled with her various bad behaviors after coming here, Yu Qian would definitely hold a grudge against her.
But it didn't.
Starting from the second round of tests, Yu Qian had no emotional ups and downs most of the time, occasionally showing worry or contemplation. Even when she had a burden with her, she never complained or showed impatience.
"The poisonous fog is spreading faster."
Yu Qian suddenly spoke.
Their speed in running from the poison remained almost constant, but the dark cloud of poison behind them was gradually closing in. At the beginning, the distance between them was more than ten meters, but now it had shrunk to five or six meters.
The feeling of oppression follows you everywhere, making it hard to breathe.
Xu Weiyi looked back and suddenly felt chilled.
She whispered, "Did you see that?"
Yu Qian said, “I see.”
She couldn't see clearly from a distance before, but when she got closer, she found that in the thick black fog, there were countless pairs of black hands, skinny and bony, with veins exposed as they stretched forward with force.
She had no doubt that as long as she came within the range of those hands, she would be immediately dragged into the poisonous fog.
Xu Weiyi said, "We'll be caught up this way."
He resumed his statement tone, and I didn't know whether he had become numb or was forcing himself to pretend not to be afraid.
However, Yu Qian felt that it was most likely the latter.
She said, "So?"
"We're almost at the roller coaster." Xu Weiyi stared at the area not far ahead. "The second half of the roller coaster is in this safe zone. As long as we can successfully start the roller coaster before the poisonous fog catches up, we'll be safe."
Diagonally ahead, the towering silhouette of the roller coaster was vague, like a dinosaur skeleton from ancient times, quietly lurking in the boundless night.
For large equipment like this, there is usually a pause of about thirty seconds after pressing the start button, which is enough time for them to climb into the cabin and settle themselves.
But this also means that they need to speed up on their original basis to gain the extra 30 seconds.
Yu Qian glanced behind her, then quickly looked away, "It's too late."
Xu Weiyi said, "I know."
The reason why it was too late was certainly not Yu Qian's fault, but hers.
If Yu Qian left her and ran over by herself, there would be plenty of time, but if they tried to accommodate her current speed, neither of them would be able to catch up.
Yu Qian was silent for a moment, "So what are you going to do?"
After Xu Weiyi calmly said "I know", her mood became a little complicated, as if she was nervous and a little scared.
She was afraid of Xu Weiyi's next answer, although she didn't want to admit it.
Although she acted as if she didn't care most of the time, if Xu Weiyi really wanted to leave her alone, she found it hard to accept.
But her fear was understandable.
In a hellhole like this, it's better to have a companion than to be alone.
Yu Qian said to herself.
She took a deep breath and was about to tell Xu Weiyi that things were not that bad yet and that they might still be able to struggle a little bit when the person next to her spoke.
"You run over there right now with me on your back. It's only a few hundred meters. You should be able to hold on."
I feel justified and have no awareness of causing trouble to others.
Yu Qian: ...
She gritted her teeth and said, "You are the only one who has the nerve to say such things."
"Just say yes or no." Xu Weiyi blinked, but didn't forget to remind her, "I didn't ignore you in the first round."
"OK."
Yu Qian kept a stern face, trying not to let Xu Weiyi see that she was secretly relieved.
Without further ado, she squatted down and said, "Hurry up."
Xu Weiyi didn't bother to be polite with her at all. He immediately leaned on her back, holding the branch that served as a crutch in one hand and holding her neck tightly with the other hand.
Yu Qian was strangled by her and her breath was choked. She frowned and said, "Be gentle, are you trying to strangle me to death?"
The person on his back let out a soft "oh", and warm breath puffed behind his ears, and then the restraint around his neck loosened a little.
Yu Qian reached out and grabbed the girl behind her, then ran as fast as she could.
The scenes on both sides flew by, the dim halo of the street lamps was stretched, her breathing gradually became rapid, and she soon felt the strain, as if her chest was about to explode.
I have never suffered such hardship while I was alive.
Yu Qian sighed in her heart.
But that's okay.
At least, Xu Weiyi still wanted to live.
