On the night of her college graduation, Jiang Mengxue invited several roommates to have dinner together.
The other three people in the dormitory are all academic elites who are staying in the same school to pursue master's and doctoral degrees. I guess we won't have many opportunities to meet in the future.
Although Jiang Mengxue was a little sad, she quickly adjusted herself.
She has experienced many separations in the past few years.
No one in this world can stay with you forever, no one can.
The family company has always been managed by a dedicated person. Jiang Mengxue only shows up at the year-end meeting, and the annual dividends are directly deposited into her card.
Jiang Mengxue is worth hundreds of millions at such a young age and plans to go out for a trip.
Although her family was quite wealthy, her parents rarely had time to take her out to play when she was a child. The occasional trip was only a one- or two-day trip organized by the school, and she basically just went with the organization.
The only downside to traveling with a group is that you can’t do anything.
And she has a secret that she can't tell anyone else.
Originally, only she and her grandfather knew about this matter, but now that her grandfather has passed away, she absolutely cannot reveal it to anyone else.
The mysterious jade bracelet space that she has possessed since she was a child has made it very convenient for her to hide things or do anything when she goes out over the years.
It is an excellent artifact when traveling.
So she only carried a small suitcase with her at each time, which actually contained nothing but a few clothes.
After more than ten years of storage, the space was full of food and clothing for her to eat and use for the rest of her life.
But now that we are in a peaceful and prosperous era, there is no need to stock up on things.
From taking trains, high-speed trains and planes at the beginning, to later visiting most places, Jiang Mengxue bought an RV and drove it wherever she went.
Along the way, I witnessed the bustling fast pace of every city, or the leisurely and comfortable life in the quiet towns.
She occasionally parks her car by the river to fish, or stops on the grassland to watch the stars.
I was very excited at first, as if I had seen a beautiful scenery that I had never seen in my life.
But as time goes by, I have been to more and more places and met more people and more things.
Her cheerful state gradually disappeared, and she began to wonder where the road ahead was and where the next stop would be.
She really doesn't know what the point of a journey without purpose and end is?
She is like a fallen leaf with no place to go. There is no place for her in this world, and none of the lights in the myriad homes belong to her.
How could she feel strange whenever she walked on the street and saw the people around her?
Whose relatives could these people be? Whose children, whose parents? They have goals to strive for, families to protect and maintain.
But where is she now?
There is no shortage of mundane things, but they are illusory!
What really made her change?
Because of the epidemic, I was trapped in a city and was in a dilemma.
Because she was not a local and had her own RV, she did not stay in a hotel as required by the government, but instead parked her car in a designated parking lot.
Every two or three days someone would come to bring food and drinks.
But there are no residents around this parking lot, not to mention that the city has been under lockdown recently. Because of the unknown virus, every household would rather close their doors and windows and dare not have any contact with the outside world.
One or two days would be fine, but she had been used to traveling around in recent years, and suddenly she had to stay in one place for such a long time, and no one had communicated with her, so she couldn't help but feel irritated.
At first, I could still read novels and watch movies, but later on, I couldn’t concentrate at all. I would just sit around and stare at the sky with my eyes open.
I thought this kind of life would continue for a long time, but unexpectedly, the parking lot gate opened again early in the morning and an off-road vehicle with a bucket drove in.
The person who came was also wrapped tightly from head to toe in protective clothing. The staff instructed him to park his car not far away, get off for a nucleic acid test, and then gave him two bags of daily necessities and food.
Because people were not allowed to have any contact, the other party's car was two or three cars away from the RV.
Jiang Mengxue leaned on the window to see what was going on. Suddenly, a staff member came over and knocked on the window, which scared her.
"What's wrong?"
The staff member explained in a good-tempered manner: "The people in that car had just come down from the mountain. They came to climb the mountain for no reason. Who knew that the world would change after they came down the mountain.
Although both of you have passed the physical examination, please try to minimize contact and don't get off the car unless necessary."
Jiang Mengxue nodded. She had told them more than once on the first day they arrived that they should stay out unless necessary, and that they would be arranged to leave when the situation improved.
But no one knows how long this epidemic will last.
Moreover, according to recent news on the Internet, most parts of the country have begun to lock down, and even people are not allowed to travel between villages.
Now even if they are asked to leave, they have nowhere to go. If they want to return to Hangzhou, they will have to be quarantined for at least a month.
Jiang Mengxue spends every day glaring at the people in the opposite car.
After settling down here, the other party took off his protective suit, wearing a mountaineering suit inside and Martin boots on his feet. He had a strong body and looked quite manly.
Jiang Mengxue's car has everything you need, including a refrigerator, washing machine, and gas stove, so she doesn't have to go out often.
But the other party's vehicle was an off-road vehicle, and many things were loaded in the back bed. Moreover, he came here to climb the mountain, so his things were not so complete.
Even some charcoal and gas stoves won't last long.
So most of the time he could only eat vegetarian food or compressed biscuits.
The two were unfamiliar with each other at the beginning, but later they occasionally made eye contact and chatted with each other, and they got to know each other better.
When the other person mentioned her name, Jiang Mengxue felt like fireworks were exploding in her head. She didn't know why she felt it was very familiar.
It’s like we’ve known each other for a lifetime.
"My name is Gu Qingbei. I grew up in an orphanage. The orphanage's mother didn't know where I came from, but she found me at the door one morning.
I was probably only a few months old at that time, and there was no other information in the bundle except a token that was not really a keepsake.
I studied finance in college. After the dean passed away, I resigned and started traveling around, thinking that maybe one day I could find out some information about my background.
But unfortunately, after so many years, it’s like I appeared out of thin air.
But it's strange, I felt something special the first time I saw you, I can't describe the feeling.
You think we are not related by blood?
I've heard people say that strangers feel close when they're related by blood."
