Chapter 411 Gradually Returning
"Jiaojiao, I have liked you for a long time, can you be with me?"
"It was the first time I met a girl as innocent and lovely as you. My heart was moved the first time I saw you, but I was afraid of scaring you, so I didn't dare to confess to you."
"After spending half a year together, I like you more and more."
Pei Jiaojiao: “…”
Confess to her in Paper Town?
You must be crazy!
She just wants to go back and doesn't want to fall in love!
"Jiaojiao, it's a special fate that we can meet in this world. Can you give me a chance? I don't want to miss you."
Pei Jiaojiao: “…”
He was very affectionate, as if Pei Jiaojiao was the only one in his eyes.
Pei Jiaojiao: “…”
She came into this world simply because she was unlucky!
She took a deep breath and said, "Boss, I don't want to fall in love now."
Manman told her to be careful of Zhu Hao.
In fact, she herself also felt that Zhu Hao was not an ordinary person.
Moreover, she worked for Zhu Hao and was paid.
He didn't pay her, which was a violation.
But if it's a girlfriend -
hehe.
Her parents can cut off her pocket money at any time if they are unhappy, not to mention a boyfriend.
Zhu Hao was somewhat heartbroken and disappointed, his eyes were very hurt, "It seems that I was too abrupt, Jiaojiao, just pretend that this incident never happened."
Pei Jiaojiao hummed.
Of course she will pretend that this never happened.
It was someone else who confessed to her, and whether she refused or not was someone else's business to consider.
It is not her business to consider how the other person will feel after being rejected.
The most important thing for her is how to find a way back home.
Everyone grows.
Lin Man and others were not around, and she could no longer be that Pei Jiaojiao who cried whenever something happened.
But when she was going back, Pei Jiaojiao learned something in the group.
【Lin Man: Jiaojiao, Li Juan is dead.】
Pei Jiaojiao's body froze and her mind went blank.
After a long while, she finally typed the next line.
[Pei Jiaojiao: ...How did she die? Was she completely buried in this world, or has she already returned?]
【Lin Man: Don’t worry. Qingqing and I couldn’t get in touch with Li Juan, so we went to Master Huo for a fortune-teller. Master Huo said that she had returned to the real world, but he didn’t tell us exactly how she died. He just said that I would know after I came back.】
There is still one thing Lin Man doesn't understand.
From what Master Huo said, it seemed as if he was certain that he would go back.
And it’s coming back soon.
But why is Master Huo so sure?
As the person involved, I still feel that returning home is a long way off.
And now she wants to do something meaningful rather than go back.
She seemed to have understood why Master Huo had said not to go out after dark.
Why is it said that darkness means invisible danger?
But the truth has not been fully revealed yet, so she cannot tell Qingqing and Jiaojiao for the time being.
Pei Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Li Juan had returned to the real world.
She was happy that the other party had escaped from the sea of suffering.
I am also confused as to whether it will take me long to go back.
[Pei Jiaojiao: Come to think of it, why didn’t I see Qingqing today? ]
[Lin Man: You forgot that Qingqing has been arguing with the school leaders over some issues these days.]
Pei Jiaojiao slapped her head.
She has been thinking about the factory wastewater discharge recently, and she always feels that there is something wrong with Zhu Hao.
She had something on her mind, so she didn't pay much attention to the daily news Xiao Qing posted before.
"well……"
Pei Jiaojiao couldn't help feeling sad when she thought about how long it would take for her to return.
She went through a period of confusion and unwillingness to leave.
I almost felt that it was good to stay in this world.
At least it's better than the real world.
If she were in the real world, she would still have to worry about the social etiquette.
You still have to deal with people you don't want to deal with.
It was just that rain that taught her how to be a human being.
It also cleared her mind a lot.
She realized that if she didn't leave this world, she might be slowly assimilated into a paper man.
No!
A terrible idea suddenly popped up in Pei Jiaojiao's mind.
Were these paper figures in the town really all paper figures at first? !
Pei Jiaojiao didn't dare to think about it any further.
Because if you think deeply, there may be a huge conspiracy in this world.
But some seeds, once planted in our hearts, will take root and sprout.
Pei Jiaojiao had something hidden in her heart, and she looked much more serious these past few days.
She began to carefully observe each of the paper figures around her, and found that, apart from their blue faces and fear of water, they were mostly the same as ordinary humans like herself.
There was only one thing that made Pei Jiaojiao feel very strange.
This is clearly a small town.
Logically speaking, all the people here should be local residents.
At least most of them are locals.
But why is it that no one here speaks a dialect?
She can understand when I speak Mandarin to her, a tourist from another place.
But why do the locals use Mandarin when they communicate with each other?
This made Pei Jiaojiao feel incredible.
Before the matter was clarified, she heard from Lin Man that Xiao Qing was also dead.
Fortunately, the other party returned to the real world and did not really bury his soul in this strange town.
Pei Jiaojiao was happy that her friends were gradually returning to the real world.
At the same time, I felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
But what exactly happened?
Pei Jiaojiao just couldn't figure it out.
She suddenly remembered what Xiao Qing had said before, that the places where they worked were all industries under Zhu Hao.
Pei Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and immediately had some ideas in mind.
She clenched her palms, immediately put down the documents in her hands, and turned to look for Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao's office is on the fourth floor.
When she hurried upstairs, he just came out and was still on the phone.
"Is there an incident over there too? It doesn't matter. They can't cause any trouble."
"You don't have to tell me this again."
"But remember to keep an eye on the zoo. It's nothing serious. I just don't want anything unpleasant to happen all the time."
Just after he finished saying this, he saw Pei Jiaojiao frowning suddenly.
Zhu Hao immediately restrained his expression, smiled, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Jiaojiao? Why are you here?"
Pei Jiaojiao felt something strange in her heart. She looked at Zhu Hao and suddenly asked, "Does what you said before about wanting me to be your girlfriend still count?"
The surprise in Zhu Hao's eyes could not be hidden.
"Of course it counts. Have you suddenly thought it through?"
"Jiaojiao, you will never know how much I like you. If you are willing to be my girlfriend, I will be so happy."
