Chapter 213
Yu Qian: Ah…hahaha…well, ahhahaha…
Although she wants to do everything, Yu Qian is actually more accustomed to making passive choices. When she was pressured to get married, she went on blind dates. When she didn't find anyone compatible, she just gave up. She only moved out when she was pushed to the point of losing her temper. She won't travel far unless she's bored.
The same goes for job changes. If she feels she can still do one job, she'll stick with it. If the job disappears, she'll passively transfer. Only when she can't stand it anymore will she plan to leave. If she hadn't unexpectedly won a lottery before leaving, or if her department suddenly started requiring overtime, she might have considered whether to continue to endure it. Her current job requires little thought, making it a perfect fit for someone who needs to be pushed even when she's working hard.
The leader who suddenly received the resignation application: Has anything happened recently? Okay, it’s settled. The company doesn’t need you anyway.
Qiao Qiao: So what do you need to envy? If I could achieve financial freedom, I might not be so eager to work hard.
Yu Qian: No, I just feel like I don’t have the tactical talent. Also, I have no goals in life.
Yu Qian: I'm sorry, Qiao Qiao. We had agreed to work as a knight-errant in your escort agency, but I broke my promise. Being a knight-errant is too hard, and practicing martial arts is also tiring.
Qiao Qiao: There’s no need to apologize. We haven’t signed a contract, so it doesn’t affect anything.
Yu Qian: But I don’t work hard at all, isn’t that a bad thing?
Qiao Qiao: As long as it does not harm the interests of others, working hard or not has no direct relationship with whether it is good or not.
Although hard work pays off, if success can be achieved through hard work, then the cows that plow the fields will become the best cows in the world.
After being comforted by Bei Qiao, Yu Qian turned over in her recliner. Because someone was passing by outside, the forum she had opened was automatically closed. Ever since lying down, she has been struggling between working hard and lying down. If she doesn't work hard, she feels a bit of a waste of time, but if she doesn't lie down, she feels sorry for herself.
The same is true for staying home. If I don't go out, I feel like I've wasted my life. I didn't quit my job because I felt the work was unbearable, but simply because it was difficult to get leave and I didn't have time to travel further afield.
Yu Qian hadn't told Bei Qiao that she thought Qiao Qiao was like a heroine in a novel: beautiful, skilled in fighting, and incredibly capable, capable of succeeding in whatever she set her mind to, with a career of her own. Originally, after meeting Qiao Qiao, she'd been thinking of working hard to land a dual female lead role, or even a crucial supporting role. So, during that time, she'd tried to spend as much time as possible with Bei Qiao, always asking for her advice on everything, hoping to learn from her.
But after some effort, she gradually felt that lying down was more comfortable. She could go out whenever she wanted, and not go online when she didn't want to. At home, there was food, drinks, and entertainment. When she was bored, she could go for a stroll in the holographic world. When she felt like moving, she could take a car to see the scenery far away. Why should she work so hard? Although becoming a female knight was her dream, and she was not particularly afraid of hard work, she was very afraid of pain.
Yu Qian: When I think that my life will never be recorded in history, I suddenly have no motivation to work hard... Just kidding, of course I have to tell others if I don’t fulfill the promise, even though Qiao Qiao may not have had any expectations of me.
After telling Bei Qiao that she would no longer strive to be a heroine, Yu Qian went back to her room and logged off, rolling around on the huge plush sofa at home.
The good news is that exercise is also effective for stay-at-home types. Now she can carry two boxes of mineral water from the express delivery point home at once without the help of a robot. The bad news is that exercise does not improve pain tolerance. Because she forgot to bring gloves, she injured her hand with the rope that tied the boxes.
Yu Qian: It hurts a little, but...should I try harder? I've managed to hold on for so many days and it's almost become a habit.
Yu Qian, who had just told Bei Qiao that she was giving up her martial arts dreams, couldn't help but start training again. Meanwhile, Bei Qiao, having closed the forum, checked the time and found himself offline. He'd walked around the city during the day, but aside from Madam Hu, he hadn't encountered anything special. Now wasn't the right time to leave for the next city, so he might as well log off and practice martial arts.
"I envy you..." After practicing a round of basic skills, Bei Qiao stretched lazily facing the sun in the sky: I don't think I have done anything great, I just chose a path that I can follow, and I happen to walk it well.
After her workout, Bei Qiao's body gradually warmed up. She tugged at her clothes, washed her face, and logged into the holographic world to check the latest news.
Foreign countries continue to engage in conspiracy theories. Even in this hyper-information age, there are still fools who believe politicians. Some even try to start a war, only to be arrested and imprisoned with war criminals, and then exhibited as a warning to others. Centuries have passed, and this war criminals exhibition hall has only seen changes in the number of people present, but it has never been empty. One wonders what these people, who knowingly commit crimes, are thinking.
The moon was as peaceful as ever, and the weather was as bad as ever. The monthly raffle for moon landing tickets was one of the top three trending searches, and the top one was an entertainment news story with a catchy headline but repetitive content, clearly bought by someone.
After exiting the holographic game and having dinner with his family, Bei Qiao opened the class chat group on his phone. Seeing that there were no new messages, he deleted the dialog box.
Most of my college roommates have found jobs, except for two who plan to rely on the government for their livelihood. There was also one person who set up a barbecue stall for two days on a whim, but then gave up on the spot because he was too tired and slept at home for a whole day before he recovered.
A roommate who gave up selling barbecue because his relative's barbecue stall was too prosperous: I'd better go to work honestly, at least I can sleep well at night.
After dinner, Bei Qiao rested for a while and took Tang Yuan out for a walk. This autumn was very cold, and only a thin coat was needed at night. Tang Yuan, a cat born with fur, didn't even need clothes.
There were probably exams these days, so when Bei Qiao was walking home with the cat, he heard the neighbor scolding the child.
Tangyuan: Going to school is such a scary thing. Fortunately, I’m just a little kitty and don’t need to go to class.
After strolling home, Bei Qiao played with Tang Yuan for a while before logging into the other world and slowly strolling down the street. This place wasn't far from Chuzhou City, and it wouldn't take long for the gossip in Chuzhou City to spread here through visiting relatives.
The news that the youngest daughter of the Meng family divorced her husband and returned home has spread completely. The Meng family told everyone without any hesitation that this failed marriage was a past record and it was not in the past, so they tacitly assumed that there was no in-law of this family. If anyone brought this matter up to them, they would turn against them on the spot.
As for the surname of the Meng family's youngest daughter, no one can recall her past. This man had been detained once before for allegedly murdering his first wife. After finally finding out that his ex-wife had returned to her own home, he was thrown into jail again because his adopted son attempted to abduct a young girl.
Nowadays, the deeds of the scumbag ex-husband have been changed into stories and cursed everywhere. Oh, no, it has been told. In order to ensure the safety of those who play the scumbag ex-husband, the organizers put up a screen on the stage to block most of the audience's projectile attacks. As for the small part that was not blocked, the actors can only fend for themselves.
Most people sympathize with Meng Jianv's experience, but there are also some individuals who think that Meng Jianv deserves what happened. There are even some love-brained natives who think that Meng Jianv should not divorce her husband. They think that as long as Meng Jianv persists, her ex-husband will one day see the good in her.
"No, do they have some serious brain problems?" Feeling sorry for the scumbags, were they chopping blocks in their previous lives?
"uncertain……"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Before, there was a warrior who pretended to feel sorry for the man and the whole family believed him. It turned out that he was here to seek blood revenge. The scumbag's family didn't even survive a dog..." After taking revenge, the eagle-like warrior surrendered on the spot and exposed all the vicious things that the scumbag's family had done before. He was determined not to take the pathetic route of "I have my own difficulties but I won't tell you even if you kill me."
Because the scumbag's family's actions were truly abhorrent, and because no innocent people were affected, the warrior was spared the death penalty through a multi-pronged effort. Instead, he was exiled to the worst place on the borders of the dynasty. This warrior wouldn't be able to return for at least twenty years, nor would she be able to establish her career. However, she didn't mind the incident much, feeling that she had finally found a place to vent her emotions.
"Gentle Knife, this is the nickname people give her now." Mrs. Hu leaned on the soft couch, supporting her head and looking at the stage downstairs.
"Why do you say it was given by someone else? Isn't my aunt's nickname "Gentle Knife"?" Liu Jiuyue poked her head out from behind the book.
"From what I know about her, she's not in the mood to give herself a nickname, and her weapon isn't a sword." Madame Hu sat up, spreading the fox fur coat that had been pressed against her side. "She'll use any powerful weapon. The more powerful, the more she likes it." Others go to battle, and the enemy is hurt. But when she goes to battle, the terrain is the first to be hurt. If someone wasn't watching her, a few more times would force the border map to change.
"Oh... can I let her be my martial arts master?" Liu Jiuyue blinked: It sounds like this person is better than the master invited by the family!
"It's up to you, if you think her style suits you." Mrs. Hu shrugged: It's just a small matter, what's there to worry about? While you are young, you can try anything. As long as you don't touch pornography, gambling or drugs, any experience can be used as a topic of conversation when you are old.
After all, there are only a few people in this world who have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. Life is only a hundred years long, so it doesn't matter whether you try a little or stick to one path.
