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?"
杜元哲道：“我不知道f國這邊許願池有什麽故事，不過y國的許願池有個故事，只要許願者往許願池裏面投三枚硬幣，就可以愛情成真。”
夏凝覓微微皺眉，他們的愛情已經成真，并不需要許願池來保證。
杜元哲道：“我知道七七不信這些，也就是圖個好寓意罷了，就當玩游戲了。”
說完，杜元哲便給夏凝覓示範怎麽許願，他背對着許願池，将三枚硬幣依次從左肩抛進許願池。
【我想和七七結婚】
【我想和七七結婚】
【我想和七七結婚】
重要的事情說三遍。
杜元哲扔完硬幣，剛睜開眼睛就看到夏凝覓目不轉睛地看他。
“怎麽了？”
夏凝覓收回視線：“沒什麽。”
她低頭看看手中的硬幣，突然覺得信一信許願池也沒什麽，她學着杜元哲的動作将硬幣扔進許願池。
杜元哲笑道：“我們兩個人一起許願肯定比一個人許願要靈......”
話沒說完，杜元哲突然怔住，腦海中如走馬觀花般閃過一個個畫面。
『“七七，我聽說y國的許願池是最靈的，而且我們一起許願肯定比一個人許願更靈。”
畫面中的女人對此不以為意：“你都多大了，還信這些。”
“這和年紀沒關系，有句話叫心誠則靈，我心誠無比，肯定會很靈。”
“那你許了什麽願？”
“我希望七七可以一輩子都健健康康的。”』
畫面一轉，依舊是許願池前，曾經兩個人的身影只剩下一個人。
『“許願池，你失信了！”
男人不複以往的俊朗，面容憔悴，臉上無人打理的胡須讓他看起來老了好幾歲，眼睛看着許願池，目光卻沒有一絲光彩。
“不過我不怪你，都怪我防備心太重，如果我一開始就相信系統的話，就不會有後來的事，我的七七就不會被狗日的劇情控制，這一切都怪我。”
男人痛苦不堪，悔恨道：“如果能重來一次，我願用一切換七七擺脫她的命運。”』
咔嚓——
随着話音落下，畫面瞬間破碎，消失得無影無蹤。
夏凝覓見杜元哲突然怔住，擡手在他眼前晃了晃：“怎麽了？”
杜元哲握住她的手，緊緊抱住夏凝覓，眼眶悄然變紅。
【我到底都做了什麽】
夏凝覓聽到他有些痛苦的聲音，有些擔心道：“到底怎麽了？”
杜元哲搖頭：“我只是想抱抱你。”
夏凝覓一聽就知道又和那些她搞不懂的東西有關，眉頭緊皺，心裏湧起一股怒火，卻不知該如何發洩，只得擡手抱住杜元哲。
兩人抱了許久，才離開許願池回到酒店，這一路上杜元哲的情緒都很低落。
回到酒店套房，夏凝覓拉着杜元哲進了卧室，用力将他推倒在床上，整個人坐在他身上，居高臨下道：“告訴我，到底發生了什麽？”
杜元哲目光黯淡：“七七，我好像看到了我們的前世。”
夏凝覓愣住：“前世？我們的？”
她知道杜元哲有前世，可那個前世應該和她沒關系才對。
杜元哲痛苦道：“我不知道前世具體發生了什麽，我只知道你的命運還是按照小說劇情發展。”
她的命運是什麽來着？
夏凝覓想了一會兒才想起來。
哦，是車禍身亡——
夏凝覓俯身輕撫他的臉頰，柔聲道：“且不說那是不是真的，即便是真的那又如何，前世的事和今生又有什麽關系？”
杜元哲搖頭：“前世的我同樣知道劇情，但我沒能改變你的未來。”
這是他最恐懼的，在同樣知道劇情的前提下，他不知道自己比前世有什麽優勢。
夏凝覓吻了吻他：“最起碼現在一切都很好。”
她不像杜元哲那麽悲觀，比起前世悲慘的結局，她更在意的是杜元哲在前世依舊屬于她。
這讓她欣喜。
見杜元哲依舊情緒低落，夏凝覓眸光閃了閃，加深這個吻，讓杜元哲沒有心思胡思亂想，手指順着他的臉頰下滑......
深夜
夏凝覓已經熟睡，杜元哲小心翼翼地起身來到客廳。
他站在落地窗前，看着外面依舊明亮的夜晚，在心裏問道：“系統，我看到的那些都是真的嗎？”
系統沒有說話。
“那我換個問法，将來發生什麽事有可能會讓七七按照小說劇情發展？”
【女主的氣運被掠奪超過七成】
杜元哲瞳孔一縮：“具體說說。”
【女主氣運關系到世界本源，當女主氣運被掠奪超過七成，世界本源就會受損，到時候這世界上的一部人就會被剝奪自我意識，變成小說中的工具人，一切都會按照作者設定好的那樣發展】
【當女主氣運被掠奪超過九成，世界本源就會不複存在，屆時此世界的所有人，包括男女主都會失去自我意識】
杜元哲喉嚨發幹：“這就是你說的女主氣運被掠奪會發生的後果？”
當初系統就曾告訴他女主氣運被掠奪，會發生不可挽回的可怕後果。
【但你會是個意外】
系統突然補充了一句。
“什麽？”
【因為你不是這個世界的人，所以你不受小說劇情控制，到時候你會是這個世界唯一保持自我意識的人】
杜元哲突然覺得這比被控制更恐怖，明知道身邊的人不對勁，卻什麽都做不了。
不過，從系統口中得知夏凝覓被劇情控制的原因，他心情不再那麽難受，知道了原因，他就可以對症下藥。
驀地，他突然想起來系統曾經說的一句話，問道：“你曾說有人和你約定，不能在一開始就把所有事都告訴我，那個人是不是我自己？”
系統再次沉默。
但在杜元哲這裏，這已經相當于默認了。
他目光變得複雜，曾經他還把那個人罵了一頓，但現在他大概明白前世的自己當初為什麽那麽做了。
他一直不是個很偉大的人，他就是個普通人，只在乎自己的一畝三分地，系統如果一開始就讓他救世，而且還讓他和一個看不到摸不着的氣運掠奪系統争鬥，他只會覺得麻煩，就像他之前那樣，把什麽事都推給蔣澈霖去做。
因為他的消極對待，結果女主氣運被掠奪，導致七七逃不過車禍身亡的結局。
杜元哲閉上眼睛。
這一切果然都怪他！
下一刻，他感覺到有人靠近他，緊接着腰被人摟住。
夏凝覓從背後抱住他，帶着困意道：“怎麽起來了？”
杜元哲轉過身，低頭親了親她，道：“剛才口幹起來喝了杯水，正打算回房呢。”
說罷，他就抱起夏凝覓回了房間。
第二天，兩人誰都沒再提昨天的事，繼續在f國游玩，他們計劃在f國玩半個月，肯定不可能只在這一個地方玩，他們計劃着把附近幾個好玩的大島都逛一遍。
這次旅游是兩人玩得最痛快的一次，劉旭沒有打過一次電話，程雨那邊也沒給夏凝覓發過一次緊急郵件，所有人都很配合地給了兩人半個月的空閑時間。
就連陳蓉珊也沒有給杜元哲打電話。
......
半個月後，煙城
劉旭和程雨都等在機場。
劉旭道：“程助理怎麽親自來了，難道不相信我們會把總裁安安全全送回家？”
程雨微笑道：“我當然相信劉經紀，不過公司有一大堆事等着總裁，總裁得先回公司處理文件。”
聽到這話，劉旭沒再說什麽。
沒一會兒，兩個帶着口罩，全副武裝的人出現在兩人面前，程雨簡單和夏凝覓說了幾句話，夏凝覓就上了她的車，和她一起回公司。
杜元哲自然跟着劉旭上車，摘下墨鏡和口罩，道：“在f國待了半個月，突然有些不習慣戴墨鏡和口罩了。”
小胖道：“哲哥玩得高興嗎？”
杜元哲笑道：“當然高興，這種假期最好多來幾次。”
劉旭道：“你最近可沒機會，《秘聲》下個月定檔央視，你得準備宣傳新劇了。”
杜元哲：“過了這麽長時間，終于定檔了，我之前還以為它得早幾個月定檔呢。”
畢竟他還沒進《浮出水面》劇組的時候，《秘聲》就傳要定檔，結果他電影都拍完了，《秘聲》還沒信兒。
杜元哲都懷疑劇裏是不是涉及了什麽不能提的人或者物，導致央視那邊一直壓着。
還好，最差的情況沒有發生。
“除此之外，我又幫你簽了幾個廣告，你得擠時間把這幾個廣告的宣傳視頻拍了。”
杜元哲靠在座椅上：“又要忙起來了啊。”
事實證明，不僅夏凝覓那邊有一大堆事等着她，杜元哲這邊也不例外。
不過再急也不差這一天，杜元哲出國半個月，陳蓉珊女士貼心地沒有打擾他，他總得回去看看家人。
杜家老宅
杜元哲打着蹭晚飯的算盤踩着點來到老宅，杜元聞夫婦已經下班，一家人都在家。
陳蓉珊見他回來，道：“舍得回來了？”
杜元哲笑着把禮物送上：“這是我的家，我當然得回來。”
陳蓉珊聽得舒心：“你知道就好。”
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, "Youyou 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: "Youyou is 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:
