Chapter 257 Falling in Love (Part 6) shuhaige.net



Lulu, accompanied by Zhu Guanshan, exchanged a luxury watch for a large sum of cash.

In modern life, digital currency has almost replaced cash in every situation. Since Zhu Guanshan is a minor, Professor Zhu will definitely freeze her account.

Although Zhu Guanshan has now received a large sum of cash, it is not convenient to spend it.

Lulu had considered this: "I can open a virtual account for you, and we can deposit the money into the virtual account so it won't be traced. Okay?"

"Okay." Zhu Guanshan readily agreed, then quickly realized, "You can open a virtual account? Does that mean you can put a lot of money into the virtual account?"

Lu Lu smiled without saying a word.

Zhu Guanshan was somewhat discouraged: "Ah, then why did we go through all that trouble?"

"Are you happy to have stolen his precious watch?" Lulu asked.

"Happy!" Zhu Guanshan instantly cheered.

Making her father pay the price and suffer losses is enough to make her happy; money is secondary.

Zhu Guanshan buried her head in Lulu's chest and said coquettishly, "Lulu, you're so sweet."

Lulu stroked her hair and pulled her closer.

With the all-powerful Lulu by their side, the two quickly settled down in the nameless town, and Zhu Guanshan began to live a wealthy and free life. With Lulu by his side, Zhu Guanshan never felt lonely.

At the same time, Xia Chuhe received a gift from Mingxiang.

The box was heavy and beautifully packaged, containing a symmetrical leaf vein bookmark. Black foam cushioned the bookmark, giving it an appearance that was both high-end and cheap.

It's hard to imagine that such a heavy box contained only a thin leaf.

Xia Chuhe found it funny.

She is a realistic woman.

She would be very happy to receive this gift if she were under twelve. Now, she'd be a little happy, but mostly she'd feel it's too much trouble to reciprocate.

Returning a gift that's too expensive isn't worth it. Returning a gift that's too cheap doesn't show enough sincerity. Returning a gift of similar handmade items is a waste of time.

Xia Chuhe wanted to return the gift, but remembering Mingxiang's pert bottom sticking out when he was diligently picking up leaves, she decided to take a look first.

Xia Chuhe picked up the leaf vein and discovered that a thin chain was attached to it, with a small round tag at the end that read "Au999".

The chain is gold, pure gold.

The chain can be removed from the leaf veins; once removed, it becomes a plain necklace.

Mingxiang's message arrived just in time: "[Did you like the gift?]"

Xia Chuhe is an adult, and she understands Mingxiang's meaning, but she will not accept Mingxiang's gift until she has thought it through.

Xia Chuhe politely declined: "It's too thin; I prefer thicker ones."

Mingxiang: [Lift up the sponge and take a look.]

sponge?

Xia Chuhe lifted the black sponge at the bottom of the box, revealing a groove around the bottom containing a thick bracelet of the same material. The quality of the material was so high that it was as if gold were worthless stainless steel.

Xia Chuhe: "..."

Xia Chuhe tidied the bracelet, put it back in the sponge, re-embedded the thin necklace into the sponge, placed the leaf vein bookmark on top, closed the lid, and sent a message to Mingxiang: "I'm not someone who's swayed by money."

Mingxiang: [I know, that's why I put a lot of effort into it. I tried many times before I could make a satisfactory bookmark, and I almost burned my hands with the chemical reagents. (Feeling wronged.jpg)]

Xia Chuhe was speechless.

Mingxiang is indeed quite good, and she does like him a little.

But deep down, Xia Chuhe always felt a faint sense of urgency and crisis, as if there was something very important waiting for her to do.

Xia Chuhe attributed this feeling to the idea that without establishing a career, how can one start a family?

Mingxiang, not receiving a response from Xia Chuhe, continued his relentless pursuit: "[Can we just continue as friends? If you get tired of me, you can just dump me now.]"

Xia Chuhe let out a deep breath: "Alright, let's give it a try."

It feels great to have another "friend". Not only is my life after get off work more colorful, but I also have another scapegoat at work.

The simple and happy life made Xia Chuhe grow stronger and healthier.

While enjoying a delicious meal, Xia Chuhe did not forget to maintain her exercise routine.

After living like this for half a year, Xia Chuhe even felt that it wouldn't be bad to continue living like this forever.

The others who entered the instance shared almost the same thoughts as Xia Chuhe.

Lu Danggui is thriving in the workplace with her research-oriented robot.

Bu Yi and the "little boy" lived a shameless and happy life.

With the help of robots, Wang Yan started a small company that only made money off college students from his own university...

Li Qiusheng, with his dedicated support character, dominated the game.

Li Yue taught the robot all the cooking procedures, and the cafeteria window was almost entirely handed over to the robot. She would lie on a recliner to supervise, and occasionally try to cook some new dishes.

Zhu Guanshan found an easy job in an unnamed small town and had a partner that everyone envied.

Bao'er also successfully integrated into the student group thanks to her high intelligence and her exclusive play and learning companion robot.

The peaceful life continued until one ordinary workday, when Xia Chuhe and several other staff members watched the testing process of a household robot.

Because high-end household robots are expensive, Wujiang decided to reduce costs and create a more affordable robot.

During the test, the robot that was chopping vegetables suddenly went out of control and charged at Lu Danggui, the nearest developer, with a large cleaver in its hand.

The operator frantically pressed the remote control button, but for some unknown reason, the running robot remained completely unaffected.

An anxious voice came through the headset: "Control measures have failed. All personnel must evacuate immediately. Please notify security personnel to enter the premises."

But the notification came too late; the robot had almost reached Lu Dangui.

In that instant, Xia Chuhe suddenly remembered a thin, bony back.

She once lay on that spine, escaping the extremely hostile Siberian tiger base.

She had escaped danger time and time again thanks to the help of the person on her back, which fueled her will to survive.

She had sat in the car with that man, laughing together, watching the puppies play, and walking through many areas of the wasteland together.

Xia Chuhe remembered everything.

She rushed towards Lu Dangui without hesitation, pushed Lu Dangui aside, and pushed her closer to the gate, even if it was just one step closer.

Xia Chuhe knew in her heart that they couldn't escape; how could humans compete with machines in terms of speed?

But she would still stand in front of Lu Dangui without hesitation, risking her life to buy Lu Dangui even just a second of escape.

Because she knew that if the situation were reversed, Lu Dangui would do the same.

Lu Dangui would also risk his life for her without hesitation.

To die in a dungeon that brings happiness is a kind of luck.

Xia Chuhe fell heavily to the ground, waiting for the cleaver to chop off his head.
