March has great weather, making it a great time to travel.
After Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi arrived in Country F by plane, they did not stay for too long and went straight to the most interesting island in Country F. After checking into the hotel there, the waiter gave them a travel guide.
Du Yuanzhe looked at the travel guide and said, "No wonder the tourism industry is so developed here. The service here is really considerate."
With this guide, they no longer have to worry about making plans on their own.
The hotel is close to the sea. Xia Ningmi stood in front of the window and saw the endless sea at a glance. There were many people playing in the water on the beach.
The weather in Yancheng in March is still a little chilly, but the temperature here is just right, which does not affect people's enthusiasm for swimming at all.
"Qiqi, I didn't expect there is a wishing well here. Do you want to go take a look?"
Xia Ningmi retracted her gaze and said, "It's up to you to decide."
Du Yuanzhe immediately made the decision: "We'll go after lunch."
The hotel provides a comprehensive lunch, including Chinese and Western food, and guests can order whatever they like.
Of course, Du Yuanzhe would not travel all the way abroad to eat Chinese food here, so he ordered the most famous local delicacy in country F. The dishes here are famous for being sour and spicy, which is quite suitable for Du Yuanzhe's taste.
Xia Ningmi was different from Du Yuanzhe. She didn't like the taste of Chinese food and ordered a standard steak.
Du Yuanzhe said: "Qiqi, don't you want to try other dishes here?"
He was tired of eating steak, and Xia Ningmi ate it even more often.
Xia Ningmi cut a piece of beef and put it in her mouth, saying, "I'm not interested."
She is only interested in the dishes cooked by Du Yuanzhe.
Du Yuanzhe said: "One of the great pleasures of traveling is to enjoy the local food. You will lose a lot of fun by doing this."
Xia Ning glanced at him and said, "Don't think that everyone is the same as you."
She is not as interested in food as Du Yuanzhe.
Du Yuanzhe shrugged: "Okay then."
After finishing their meal, the two originally planned to go directly to the wishing well, but before leaving they happened to learn that there was a market nearby that was particularly lively.
Du Yuanzhe thought that there was still a lot of time, so he decided to go to the market first to see if there were any interesting gadgets.
“It’s really lively.”
Du Yuanzhe walked into the market holding Xia Ningmi's hand, and saw many people coming and going, people of all skin colors. It was obvious that there were many people traveling here at this time of year.
Everyone had a smile on their face, chatting and laughing with their companions, feeling very comfortable.
The two of them strolled around for a while, and Du Yuanzhe suddenly stopped in front of a hat stall and looked at Xia Ningmi.
Xia Ning frowned: "Don't even think about it."
Du Yuanzhe squeezed her hand and said, "What a beautiful hat. It will look great on you."
"I don't wear it."
Du Yuanzhe picked up a hat and spun it around. The tassels on the hat collided with his movements, making crisp sounds.
This is a hat that is very similar to the ones worn by Miao women in China, the only slight difference is that it has the style of country F added to it.
Du Yuanzhe really wanted to see Xia Ningmi wearing this kind of hat, so he continued to persuade her, "Qiqi, just wear it for a while, okay?"
Xia Ning turned her head away from him.
Xia Ningmi's attitude was very firm. Du Yuanzhe didn't want to give up. He glanced at the stall and said with bright eyes: "Qiqi, I will wear it with you."
After saying that, he picked up a blue hat, which was also in the Miao style. However, unlike the women's hats, it did not have tassels hanging on it. This hat was just made of cloth wrapped around it and was very simple in style.
Du Yuanzhe held a hat in one hand and said, "I have long wanted to wear a couple hat with Qiqi. Can't Qiqi even meet such a simple request?"
He deliberately said it in a pitiful way.
Xia Ningmi knew that he was pretending to be pitiful, but after looking at the two hats, she nodded and agreed.
She wanted to do everything a couple would do with Du Yuanzhe.
Du Yuanzhe was overjoyed when he saw this and immediately bought the two hats.
The stall owners here are all from F country. Du Yuanzhe can't speak F country, but this doesn't affect their purchases. They have already exchanged their money into F country currency and can just hand the money over to the boss, and they can just refund any excess or pay any shortfall.
While the boss was looking for money, Du Yuanzhe helped Xia Ningmi put on her hat.
"I knew it would look beautiful on Qiqi."
Wearing this hat, Du Yuanzhe always felt that Xia Ningmi had a different temperament.
Xia Ningmi didn't say anything, but just helped Du Yuanzhe put on the blue hat.
We agreed to wear a couple hat, so of course I can't let her wear it alone.
Du Yuanzhe looked at the two men's hats and said with a smile, "If we change our clothes, we can pretend to be ethnic minorities."
The two continued to walk forward, and Xia Ning asked, "Aren't you afraid that your boss will cheat you?"
Du Yuanzhe looked at her and said, "Don't be afraid, you are here with me."
He doesn't understand the language of country F, but that doesn't mean Xia Ningmi doesn't understand it. As an elite among elites, Xia Ningmi knows many foreign languages. Although the language of country F is just a minority language, Xia Ningmi also has some knowledge of it. She may not be proficient in it, but she has no problem with simple communication.
If the boss wanted to cheat them by taking advantage of the fact that they didn't understand, he would definitely not be able to hide it from Xia Ningmi.
Xia Ningmi: "You seem quite relaxed."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and pulled Xia Ningmi to continue shopping in the market. There were a lot of small gadgets here, and not all of them were local specialties. There were all kinds of small gadgets.
The two of them were out traveling, so there was no need to rush. They just walked around a little bit, stopping to look at anything that interested them.
They had no time to rest, and when they came out of the market, they found that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
"We've been walking around for so long," Du Yuanzhe was a little surprised: "Qiqi, are you tired?"
Xia Ning shook her head: "Not tired."
They were both regular exercisers, so this level of fatigue was nothing.
Du Yuanzhe couldn't help but recall the time when he accompanied Chen Rongshan shopping, and said, "It's true that I don't hate shopping, it just depends on the person."
Xia Ning narrowed her eyes: "Who are you referring to?"
Du Yuanzhe laughed and said, "My mom, when I go shopping with her, what I want to do most is to find a place to sleep. It's really boring."
It's strange to say, when accompanying Chen Rongshan shopping, for Du Yuanzhe it was basically just changing places to play with his mobile phone. Logically it shouldn't be so boring, but Du Yuanzhe just couldn't have fun, and he would always unconsciously pay attention to whether Chen Rongshan had finished shopping, which made him bored.
When Xia Ningmi saw that he was talking about Chen Rongshan, she lost interest in asking further questions.
Thinking that it would be time for dinner soon, Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi returned to the hotel first, planning to go to the wishing well in the evening.
......
In a luxury apartment in Yancheng
Under the dim light, a figure sat on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, but he did not move.
[As long as you help me get Wei Lingling's luck, I can help you get everything you want]
The figure was silent for a long time, then asked, "Who are you?"
[I've said before, I'm a luck-plundering system. My mission is to find a host to help me seize Wei Lingling's luck. In the process, I will do my best to help the host fulfill his wish.]
"Why Wei Lingling?"
[She is the lucky child of your world. I can only take away the luck of the lucky child.]
"What will happen if Wei Lingling loses her luck?"
[She will be forgotten by the crowd and will no longer make great achievements]
"Why did you choose me?"
[You are the first person I met after coming to this world. I have no choice.]
With a twinkle in his eye, the man asked the question that was most important to him: "How can you help me?"
[I have the ability to foresee what will happen next. I can help you make a development plan based on the future.]
[But I'm not a philanthropist. If you want my help, you need to find someone for me.]
The man frowned: "Didn't you say that as long as I help you seize Wei Lingling's luck, that's all?"
[But Wei Lingling's luck is not easy to take away. I can't help you if you don't make any progress at all.]
"Who are you looking for?"
[My mortal enemy has also come to this world. Like me, he can only complete tasks through a host. You need to help me find his host. There is not much information about him. The only thing that is certain is that this person must have had some connection with Wei Lingling.]
"What is your enemy's mission?"
[Just the opposite of me, it needs to protect Wei Lingling]
"It sounds like you're more like a villain, and villains usually don't have a good ending."
[I think you are not such a simple person. Since ancient times, people only care about success or failure, not right or wrong. No one cares about the process. It's not that villains don't have a good ending, but that people who don't have a good ending become villains.]
The man chuckled and said, "You have successfully convinced me. I agree to cooperate with you."
【Smart decision】
......
F country wishing pool
Du Yuanzhe didn't expect that there would be so many people at night, and a group of people gathered in front of the wishing pool.
"Qiqi, it seems we are late."
You have to queue up for everything these days, and making a wish is no exception.
"I heard that wishing wells were originally a feature of country Y. After it became famous, wishing wells began to appear in countries around the world. We also have several large wishing wells in our country, and there are countless small ones."
Some university campuses also have wishing wells.
Xia Ningmi said: "If you like, we can make one."
She owns a lot of properties in Yancheng, including several villas with yards, so having a wishing well is just a piece of cake.
Du Yuanzhe's mouth twitched: "I didn't mean that."
[My girlfriend is really rich and generous]
The two walked around the wishing well for a while, and only when there were fewer people in front of it did they have the opportunity to get closer to it. As soon as they got closer, they saw countless coins at the bottom of the pool.
Du Yuanzhe handed Xia Ningmi three coins that he had prepared long ago and said, "Qiqi, let's go together."
Xia Ningmi was a little puzzled and asked, "Why three?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "I don't know what the story is about the wishing well in country F, but there is a story about the wishing well in country Y. As long as the wisher throws three coins into the wishing well, love will come true."
Xia Ningmi frowned slightly. Their love had already come true and did not need a wishing well to guarantee it.
Du Yuanzhe said: "I know Qiqi doesn't believe in these things, I just want to have a good meaning, just treat it as a game."
After that, Du Yuanzhe showed Xia Ningmi how to make a wish. He turned his back to the wishing well and threw three coins into the well from his left shoulder one by one.
【I want to marry Qiqi】
【I want to marry Qiqi】
【I want to marry Qiqi】
Important things should be said three times.
After Du Yuanzhe threw the coin, he just opened his eyes and saw Xia Ningmi staring at him intently.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Ningmi retracted her gaze: "Nothing."
She looked down at the coin in her hand and suddenly thought that there was nothing wrong with wishing in the well. She imitated Du Yuanzhe's movements and threw the coin into the well.
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "It will definitely be more effective if we make a wish together than if we make a wish alone..."
Before he could finish his words, Du Yuanzhe was suddenly stunned, and scenes flashed through his mind like a fleeting display of flowers.
"Qiqi, I heard that the wishing well in Country Y is the most effective, and if we make a wish together it will definitely be more effective than if we make a wish alone."
The woman in the picture doesn't care: "How old are you? You still believe this."
"It has nothing to do with age. There is a saying that goes, 'Sincerity is the key to success.' I am extremely sincere, so it will definitely work."
"So what did you wish for?"
"I hope Qiqi can stay healthy for the rest of her life."
The scene changed, and it was still in front of the wishing well. Where there were two people, only one person was left.
"Wishing Well, you broke your promise!"
The man was no longer as handsome as before. His face was haggard, and the unkempt beard made him look several years older. He looked at the wishing well, but his eyes were dull.
"But I don't blame you. It's all my fault for being too defensive. If I had believed in the system from the beginning, nothing would have happened later. My Qiqi wouldn't have been controlled by this damn plot. This is all my fault."
The man was in great pain and regretted: "If I could do it again, I would give up everything to help Qiqi escape her fate."
Snap——
As the words fell, the picture shattered instantly and disappeared without a trace.
Xia Ningmi saw Du Yuanzhe suddenly froze, raised her hand and waved it in front of him: "What's wrong?"
Du Yuanzhe held her hand, hugged Xia Ningmi tightly, and his eyes turned red.
What have I done?
Xia Ningmi heard his painful voice and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "I just want to hug you."
As soon as Xia Ningmi heard it, she knew it was related to those things she couldn't understand. Her brows were furrowed and anger surged in her heart, but she didn't know how to vent it, so she could only raise her arms and hug Du Yuanzhe.
The two hugged each other for a long time before leaving the wishing pool and returning to the hotel. Du Yuanzhe was in a very low mood along the way.
Back at the hotel suite, Xia Ningmi pulled Du Yuanzhe into the bedroom, pushed him down on the bed, sat on him, and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Du Yuanzhe's eyes dimmed: "Qiqi, I seem to have seen our past lives."
Xia Ning was stunned: "Previous life? Ours?"
She knew that Du Yuanzhe had a past life, but that past life should have nothing to do with her.
Du Yuanzhe said painfully: "I don't know what happened in your previous life. I only know that your fate will develop according to the plot of the novel."
What is her destiny?
Xia Ning thought for a while before she remembered.
Oh, it was a car accident.
Xia Ningmi leaned over and gently stroked his cheek, saying softly, "Let's not talk about whether it's true or not. Even if it's true, what does it have to do with this life?"
Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "I knew the same plot in my previous life, but I couldn't change your future."
This was what he feared the most. Knowing the same plot, he had no idea what advantages he had over his previous life.
Xia Ningmi kissed him: "At least everything is fine now."
She was not as pessimistic as Du Yuanzhe. Compared with the tragic ending of her previous life, she cared more about the fact that Du Yuanzhe still belonged to her in the previous life.
This made her happy.
Seeing that Du Yuanzhe was still in a low mood, Xia Ning's eyes flashed and she deepened the kiss, making Du Yuanzhe not have the mind to think about random things. Her fingers slid down his cheek...
late at night
Xia Ningmi was already fast asleep, so Du Yuanzhe got up carefully and went to the living room.
He stood in front of the French window, looking at the still bright night outside, and asked in his heart: "System, is what I saw real?"
The system did not speak.
"Then let me ask it another way. What will happen in the future that might cause Qiqi to develop according to the plot of the novel?"
[The heroine's luck was plundered by more than 70%]
Du Yuanzhe's pupils shrank: "Tell me more about it."
[The heroine's luck is related to the origin of the world. When the heroine's luck is plundered by more than 70%, the origin of the world will be damaged. At that time, some people in this world will be deprived of their self-awareness and become tools in the novel. Everything will develop as the author has set.]
[When the heroine's luck is plundered by more than 90%, the origin of the world will no longer exist. At that time, everyone in this world, including the hero and heroine, will lose their self-awareness.]
Du Yuanzhe's throat was dry: "Is this what you said would happen if the heroine's luck was robbed?"
The system had told him at the beginning that if the heroine's luck was robbed, there would be irreversible and terrible consequences.
But you will be a surprise
The system suddenly added a sentence.
"What?"
[Because you are not from this world, you are not controlled by the plot of the novel. You will be the only person in this world who retains self-awareness.]
Du Yuanzhe suddenly felt that this was more terrifying than being controlled. He knew that something was wrong with the people around him, but he could do nothing.
However, after learning from the system why Xia Ning was controlled by the plot, he no longer felt so upset. Knowing the reason, he could prescribe the right remedy.
Suddenly, he remembered something the system had said, and asked, "You once said that someone had agreed with you not to tell me everything at the beginning. Was that person me?"
The system fell silent again.
But for Du Yuanzhe, this is tantamount to tacit acceptance.
His expression became complicated. He had scolded that man before, but now he roughly understood why he did that in his previous life.
He has never been a great man. He is just an ordinary person who only cares about his own little piece of land. If the system asked him to save the world from the beginning and let him fight against an invisible and intangible luck-plundering system, he would only feel troubled, just like he did before, pushing everything to Jiang Chelin.
Because of his negative attitude, the heroine's luck was robbed and Qiqi was killed in a car accident.
Du Yuanzhe closed his eyes.
It's all his fault!
The next moment, he felt someone approaching him, and then someone grabbed his waist.
Xia Ningmi hugged him from behind and asked sleepily, "Why did you get up?"
Du Yuanzhe turned around, bent down and kissed her, and said, "I just had a dry mouth and drank a glass of water. I was just about to go back to my room."
Having said that, he picked up Xia Ningmi and went back to the room.
The next day, neither of them mentioned what happened yesterday and continued to travel in Country F. They planned to travel in Country F for half a month, and it was definitely impossible for them to travel only in this place. They planned to visit several interesting large islands nearby.
This trip was the most enjoyable one for the two of them. Liu Xu did not call once, and Cheng Yu did not send Xia Ningmi an urgent email. Everyone cooperated and gave the two of them half a month of free time.
Even Chen Rongsan didn't call Du Yuanzhe.
......
Half a month later, Yancheng
Liu Xu and Cheng Yu were both waiting at the airport.
Liu Xu asked, "Why did Assistant Cheng come here in person? Doesn't he believe that we will send the president home safely?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Of course I trust Manager Liu, but the company has a lot of things waiting for the president, and the president has to go back to the company to deal with the documents first."
After hearing this, Liu Xu said nothing more.
After a while, two masked and fully armed men appeared in front of them. Cheng Yu simply said a few words to Xia Ningmi, and Xia Ningmi got into her car and went back to the company with her.
Du Yuanzhe naturally followed Liu Xu into the car, took off his sunglasses and mask, and said, "I've been in Country F for half a month, and suddenly I'm not used to wearing sunglasses and masks."
Xiaopang asked, "Did Brother Zhe have fun?"
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy. It would be best if you come here more often during this kind of vacation."
Liu Xu said: "You don't have a chance recently. The Voice of China will be aired on CCTV next month. You have to prepare to promote the new drama."
Du Yuanzhe: "After such a long time, it's finally been released. I thought it would have been released several months earlier."
After all, when he hadn't joined the crew of "Surface", there were rumors that "The Voice" was going to be released. As a result, he had finished filming the movie, but there was still no news about "The Voice".
Du Yuanzhe even suspected that the drama involved some people or things that could not be mentioned, which was why CCTV kept suppressing the news.
Fortunately, the worst did not happen.
"Besides that, I've signed a few more commercials for you. You have to find time to shoot the promotional videos for these commercials."
Du Yuanzhe leaned back in his chair: "I'm going to be busy again."
As it turned out, not only did Xia Ningmi have a lot of things waiting for her, but Du Yuanzhe was no exception.
However, no matter how urgent it was, this day would not be too late. Du Yuanzhe went abroad for half a month, and Ms. Chen Rongshan considerately did not disturb him. He had to go back to see his family.
Du Family Old House
Du Yuanzhe arrived at the old house on time with the intention of having dinner for free. Du Yuanwen and his wife had already gotten off work and the whole family was at home.
When Chen Rongshan saw him coming back, she asked, "Are you willing to come back?"
Du Yuanzhe smiled and handed over the gift: "This is my home, of course I have to come back."
Chen Rongshan felt relieved: "It's good that you know."
Youyou was lying in the baby chair. He was only two months old and still a little baby who could only hum. Du Yuanzhe stretched out his hand towards his fingers and the next moment he held them.
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "You still remembers your uncle, right? It's worth it that your uncle bought you so many gifts."
Du Yuanwen did not hesitate to break his narcissism: "You are not afraid of strangers. He is like this no matter who he meets."
Du Yuanzhe was not convinced: "Even so, it is still closer to me."
"If you insist on deceiving yourself like this, I can't help it."
Zhao Zhimeng couldn't help but hit him and said unhappily, "Yuanzhe just came home, can't you talk properly?"
Du Yuanzhe smiled: "My sister-in-law is still good to me."
At dinner, Chen Rongshan suddenly asked, "How do you solve the problem of eating when you are at home?"
Du Yuanzhe couldn't say he cooked, so he said, "We'll order food from the hotel. There are so many hotels, we won't get hungry."
Chen Rongshan said, "It's not a good idea to always order food from the hotel. I think we should let Sister Wu continue to take care of you."
Du Yuanzhe refused subconsciously: "No need..."
Chen Rongshan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You didn't let Sister Wu go before because you were afraid that I would know about your relationship. Now that everything is known, what else can you refuse? Sister Wu knows your taste. Isn't she more considerate than the hotel?"
Du Yuanzhe thought so too, but he had to discuss this matter with Xia Ningmi. He deliberately hesitated and said, "I need to think about it and give you an answer tomorrow."
As soon as Chen Rongshan heard this, she knew that he wanted to discuss this with Xia Ningmi. Seeing that he couldn't even make a decision on such a small matter, she felt a little angry. However, Du Yuanzhe had just returned today, and Chen Rongshan didn't want to argue with him, so she nodded reluctantly.
At the same time, she explained, "Mom has good intentions and has no ulterior motives. If you agree, let Sister Wu move to your place to do the job so that she doesn't have to run back and forth."
What she said was to show that she had no intention of using Aunt Wu as a spy.
Du Yuanzhe could tell what was going on, and quickly gave Chen Rongshan her favorite dishes, saying with a smile, "Mom loves me the most, and I would never doubt anyone else."
Chen Rongshan just fell for it, and after hearing this, her previous depression disappeared without a trace.
The author has something to say:
