On the commercial street outside Chongcheng Art Academy, Qin Huai saw Glasses with messy hair.
He was thin, pale, and looked dejected. He wore thick-rimmed black glasses and had the typical look of a shut-in.
“Every time I see you, you look like you’re about to die. Have you been drinking too much? Young people need to know how to be moderate. If all else fails, finding a woman would be good too; at least she’ll find a way to help you recover,” Qin Huai said seriously.
The man with glasses didn't argue; he just grinned.
Everyone has their own attitude towards life.
In the life of these glasses, everything else is secondary – computers and code.
Women are such a hassle.
Being self-sufficient and not relying on others, anyway, what men pursue is just that one thing.
How can trembling not be trembling?
Seeing that Glasses wasn't listening, Qin Huai didn't bother to say anything more and pointed to the trunk: "The gift is in the back, go see for yourself."
Glasses scurried to the back of the car, opened the trunk, peeked inside, and chuckled.
"Thanks, brother. You're very kind."
"Now you know I care about you, right? I won't let you work for nothing."
"Okay, I'll take it back and experience it properly later."
"There's no need to talk about something so lewd."
Qin Huai lit a cigarette and asked, "Is anyone at the shoe store?"
"Nobody's here."
"You've been inside?"
"I've already been inside."
"What were you found?"
"Nothing was found."
"So what did you gain from this trip?"
"There were still some gains."
The man with glasses said in a serious tone, "There are hidden pinhole cameras in the back lounge."
Qin Huai's hand trembled, and the cigarette he had just lit almost fell to the ground: "What did you see?"
He and Xu Xin spent the whole afternoon inside; don't let Glasses see it for free!
Given this guy's track record, we might even see him in the domestic market.
"It's useless, the terminal has been completely deleted."
Glasses didn't notice Qin Huai's unusual expression and shrugged, saying, "Even those Cyrillic characters you mentioned, there's not a trace of them."
Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the endless stream of pedestrians, and tactically took a drag on his cigarette: "You said on the phone that a big shot had come to Zhige, how did you know?"
"We found a few clues, but unfortunately, the information was too limited. We don't know who came or what their purpose was."
Glasses scratched his messy hair and frowned, saying, "Recently, Chongcheng has become a place of trouble. Many people of unknown origin want to break into here. The organization has set up an encirclement in the southwest region, which has stopped many people."
"Brother, what are your thoughts on the word 'virtual'?"
What could I possibly think? Has the organization said anything to you?
“The organization didn’t say much, but I felt that the higher-ups definitely knew, and that it was a very important matter, so they didn’t tell us directly.”
Qin Huai fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
The word 'virtual' may be the core factor that triggered all the changes.
But what exactly it is is still unclear.
"No, I need to have a good talk with Lu Qingxue, otherwise I'll be in a very passive position," Qin Huai thought to himself.
"Brother, I'm going back now," Glasses said.
Qin Huai nodded: "Be careful."
"Don't worry, I'm just a shut-in, nobody cares."
Glasses struggled to lift the cardboard box containing the dolls, walking with a heavy sigh, his thin legs trembling slightly.
Qin Huai was unsure whether the gift he had given was right or wrong.
If one day Glasses dies in the baby's belly, that would be his sin.
After glancing once more at the shoe store with its shutters tightly shut, Qin Huai threw away his cigarette butt and prepared to drive away.
"Qinhuai! Qinhuai!"
The shouts made Qin Huai pause.
Immediately, a beautiful figure came running quickly, her dress fluttering like a pretty butterfly.
Qin Huai glanced at the other person and asked curiously, "Zheng Ni? What are you doing here?"
Zheng Ni's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes filled with joy mixed with a hint of shyness. With her hands behind her back, she said sweetly, "I didn't have class today, so I came out for a stroll. I didn't expect to run into you by chance."
"Okay, then you can continue browsing. I have something to do, so I'll have to go first."
"No!"
Zheng Ni said, "You saved me, and I'd like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."
"Let's skip the meal; I appreciate your kindness."
"Then...then..."
Zheng Ni was a little anxious, then took out an exquisite gift box from her pocket and handed it to Qin Huai: "I'm giving you a gift, you must accept it."
"What?"
Zheng Ni's pretty face flushed red as she said, "Open it and take a look if you want to."
Qin Huai always felt that this girl's eyes were very strange, just like the way Su Huaijun looked at him.
In front of Zheng Ni, Qin Huai opened the gift box.
Inside is a glass bottle shaped like a five-pointed star.
The bottle contains various colored tubing woven into a five-pointed star.
The box was full of glitter, and it did look quite pretty.
At the bottle opening, there were several scrolls made of strips of paper of different colors.
"This is……"
"Open it and take a look," Zheng Ni said shyly.
Qin Huai had a bad feeling. He opened the wooden stopper, took out a scroll at random, and unfolded it to see a line of delicate characters written on it.
"The moment I met you was a stroke of fate."
hiss……
Qin Huai gasped in shock.
These words, this gift, this pure and innocent feeling of youthful naiveté...
Qin Huai then took out another scroll and unfolded it.
"At that moment, you were like a god descending to earth, radiating light and dispelling the darkness of the entire world."
