Chapter 20: Eating melon progress 20%
"I miss you so much, I'm going crazy."
A full moon hangs in the distant dark blue sky, and its shadow drifts on the sea, leaving behind a silver afterimage.
A wooden boat swayed and moved slowly forward, rippling the water and accidentally disturbing the moon's shadow...
Su Lan was in a daze, and confirmed with the system in his consciousness space again: "Screen, block me?"
The system was a little embarrassed and turned around awkwardly, "Ah, our melon-eating function was blocked by his intelligence system firewall."
Su Lan: ...
Is this okay?
Seeing that she was a little discouraged, the system comforted her.
"It's okay. We are now level 20, just a little lower than him. Once we catch up, we might be able to break through the firewall."
Su Lan: "...How much lower?"
The system looked around and said, "Uh... our level is too low, we can't see..."
Su Lan: ...
Unexpectedly, in this world, besides her having a melon-eating system, there are other people who have intelligence systems.
The other party's level is actually higher than hers.
I don't know why I feel angry...
The system comforted him: "Don't be sad, at least we are level 20."
"From now on, we'll have a search function for Chigua, and we can search by keyword or date..."
Su Lan said "hmm" lightly.
She hasn't realized what the new feature is for yet...
Seeing that her expression was still indifferent, the system worked hard in its little brain, and after a few seconds, a light flashed in its peach blossom eyes.
“Got it!”
"I can go meet his intelligence system."
"wait for me."
After saying that, the system disappeared from her consciousness space...
A few minutes later, the system came back panting.
"I'm really exhausted..."
"His little system is just a chatterbox. It looks cute, but it's completely inhumane. It dragged me up a mountain for a whole day..."
"Climbing the mountain is fine, but you kept nagging me. You even talked to me about everything from [which came first, the chicken or the egg] to [can sows climb trees], and not a single word of yours was useful... I really want to thank you..."
Su Lan: "Which mountain are you climbing?"
System: "Oh... I forgot to mention that your mind is as calm as still water, so your consciousness space is like a calm lake, just like the sky."
"That side of his is... so scary, all cliffs, steep mountains..."
"That mountain is so high! I've been climbing for a whole day and still haven't reached the top..."
*
At the same time, in Gu Yanzhi's consciousness space.
There are towering mountains and steep cliffs, and thousands of cliffs and valleys.
Gu Yanzhi was drinking tea in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, gazing into the distance at the snow-capped peaks of ice and snow, with no grass growing.
The system came running over anxiously: "New information!"
"Su Lan's little system just came to visit us, and I greeted her very warmly."
"I took her to see the towering mountains, the strange trees and rocks of your consciousness space, and also spread scientific culture. We talked about everything from [UFOs and crop circles] to [the origin of the Big Bang]. She will definitely be shocked by our extensive knowledge..."
Gu Yanzhi slid the edge of his finger across the cold white jade teacup, "Get to the point."
The system said "Oh," and then said, "The point is... I kept my mouth shut. I didn't reveal any information to her..."
Gu Yanzhi nodded and continued drinking tea.
The aroma of tea wafts in the air, and behind the lingering scent are his deep eyes.
The system stood there for a moment, then couldn't help but want to speak again, "You really don't plan to be with her in this life?"
Seeing that Gu Yanzhi didn't respond, the system continued.
"Oh... who knew she was on a show on the next island and started building a boat on the first day?"
"Who heard someone was going to kill her with poisonous mushrooms, rushed over to see her, and then quietly went back after seeing that she was fine?"
"Who knew someone would bring a poisonous snake to harm her? After two days of searching, she finally encountered an elk and didn't shoot it, but immediately rowed over here?"
"Who picked up her phone on the street and put it back into her pocket without a word? ... She didn't even know she had lost her phone..."
"Also... the necklace someone is wearing. Isn't that L-shaped pendant LAN, Su Lan's Lan?"
"Someone clearly can't bear to..."
Gu Yanzhi's heart seemed to be stabbed, his eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes as cold as a blade: "If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will uninstall you..."
The system pursed its lips and murmured cautiously with a nasal tone: "You... obviously still like her..."
Gu Yanzhi only uttered two words, "Nonsense, unload..."
The system was so scared that it ran out.
After taking a few steps, the system turned back and shouted, "Happy Birthday!"
The water cup in Gu Yanzhi's hand shook.
Half of the water stained the white sleeves, and half wet the white jade coffee table.
He was completely lost...
In the past, he was born into a business family with a well-off family background and was very wealthy.
When he was eleven years old, he was studying in the first year of high school abroad when he heard the sad news that his father was seriously ill.
He immediately flew back to China, but all he saw was a cold corpse. He sat alone in the funeral home for three days without a drop of water...
His mother supported the family and asked him to continue to concentrate on his studies, saying that as long as he studied hard, everything would be fine.
But things didn't get better.
Having lost the protection of the Gu family, he experienced endless darkness in school...
Ten high school students from the same school, displeased with his overly good-looking face and his reputation as a prodigy, burned him with cigarette butts, doused him with drinks, and even tried to set his hair on fire with a lighter. Because his hair was wet, it wouldn't light up...
Not only that, the ten men also held down his head, shaved his hair, and forced him to eat it.
They even pressed his head into the toilet and beat him for three hours...
Only then did he understand.
The boy's malice is so deep and unfathomable...
He couldn't stand it any longer and started to resist.
He secretly practiced boxing, collected evidence, called the police, and had everyone locked up.
The shortest imprisonment is half a year, and the longest is fifteen years.
There were also parents of classmates who wanted to settle the matter with money and bribed witnesses, but they ended up shooting themselves in the foot and were detained for bribery.
He won this battle.
Since then, his personality has changed drastically.
He was originally gentle and polite, but after this battle, he became resolute and warlike.
He will punish all oppression.
He will fight back against all bullying.
He thought that as long as he fought against the world with all his might, the world would not be able to bully him.
But the heavy blow of fate always comes so unexpectedly.
When he was eighteen, his mother, who managed the Gu family business alone, fell ill.
He got his university diploma ahead of schedule and immediately returned to help his mother.
His mother held his hand and said, "You are the only man in the family. You must protect Mom and your sister... The Gu Family Group was founded by your father himself. Don't let those uncles who oppress us take it away..."
He listened.
During the day, he joined the Gujia Group and started from the bottom. At night, he went to the hospital to take care of his mother.
In the company, he was suppressed and sidelined. After finally climbing to the middle level, all his subordinates were transferred away, and his uncles even sent a traitor to disgust him.
Within two years, he cleared all obstacles.
He just opened fire on the traitor who was always hindering him and telling tales about him.
He said he would sell the branch that was making losses every year and still sucking blood from the head office.
There were also uncles who joined forces with competitors to suppress him. He collected evidence of their bribery and dealt with them as he pleased.
At the age of 20, he firmly sat on the position of chairman of the Gu Family Group.
From then on, he was the only one in the Gu family who could call the shots.
In his twenties, he was busy with his career and worked hard all the time, and finally managed to keep his father's hard work.
However, he was too busy, so busy that he missed a lot and lost a lot...
Later, on his 27th birthday, a girl stood downstairs from his building.
She stood by the car, wearing a white waist-length dress with a totem outlined by slanting gold threads and dotted with sparkling diamonds. The white gauze on her sleeves was clear and drooping, giving her an ethereal air.
Just by standing there, without doing anything, she captured all his attention.
She smiled at him, opened the trunk of her car, and balloons tied with gift boxes flew towards him.
She shouted upstairs:
"Gu Yanzhi, happy first birthday!"
"Gu Yanzhi, happy second birthday!"
…
"Gu Yanzhi, happy 25th birthday!"
"Gu Yanzhi, happy 26th birthday!"
"Gu Yanzhi, happy twenty-seventh birthday!"
Later, he was blinded by personal vendetta and, despite his girlfriend's advice, he insisted on seeking revenge, and ended up perishing together with his enemy...
However, until his death, he did not find all the murderers, and even harmed his girlfriend...
He clenched his fists, not daring to think about it again...
The pain in my heart feels like a knife scraping at me, the pain is unbearable and cannot be suppressed...
If he were to live again, he would never make this choice.
He won't drag anyone down.
Especially her.
He came back to his senses, not realizing that there were tears in the corners of his eyes...
That tear, like a dewdrop under the moonlight, fell silently, leaving a subtle mark on the face.
Su Lan: Why is he crying?
Could it be that he was scared by falling into the water just now?
Or are you homesick?
This place is so vast and isolated from the world, it is easy to be moved by the scene...
Su Lan raised the back of her hairy hand and wanted to wipe his tears.
Just as he stretched out his hand, he remembered that he had just fallen into the water and his palms and backs were wet, so he stopped.
Her hand was hanging in the air when someone suddenly pulled her and she fell straight into a warm chest.
Su Lan: ...
Why...why are you hugging me?
Don't hold me so tight...
I can hardly breathe...
Unfortunately, in her sloth form, her inner voice couldn't be heard. No matter how she struggled, the other party couldn't hear her...
The system's prompt sounded, "Stamina is being replenished at an accelerated rate..."
Su Lan:?
System explanation: "As long as you get close to him, your physical strength will be restored. The closer you are, the faster your physical strength will be restored. Now you are... ahem... close to each other, so the high-speed physical strength replenishment mode has been triggered..."
Su Lan: ...
What model of power bank is this?
Okay, since you helped me recharge my battery, I'll reluctantly let you hug me.
Su Lan thought so, and hung on the man, with her two long arms wrapped around his neck.
Even patted it lightly a few times.
She hates to see others cry.
Still such a good-looking person.
Gu Yanzhi said nothing.
But there were already lightning, thunder and heavy rain in the consciousness space.
His small intelligence system held a red umbrella and muttered as it walked, "Why is it thundering? Is it going to rain heavily? In this weather, I must remember to put away my clothes..."
Just then, the small system heard a loud noise.
In the valley of Gu Yanzhi's consciousness, the echo rippled over and over again:
"I missed you so much."
"I'm going crazy thinking about it."
The author has something to say:
My favorite male lead is here!!!
As someone who has experienced school bullying, I sincerely hope for world peace and a world without bullying.
Happy eating, 20th bow~
