Chapter 369 Back to Reality (20) - The Opportunity Has Arrived
Ning Shu looked at the place that used to be a dock, which has now become a square. The entire city has changed, but the only thing that remains unchanged is this sea.
This sea holds many memories of her childhood, and now she can only look at it from here and reminisce about the past.
She didn't know if the path she had chosen was worth it; perhaps she would become one of the countless cannon fodder, or even die a gruesome death.
She didn't know if the resistance would achieve final victory, and suddenly realized that she had underestimated the greatness of her predecessors.
I, who once only listened to their stories as tales, am now about to become part of the story myself, or perhaps—without a story at all.
Back then, they were just like you are now, uncertain about the future but still forging ahead, willing to be shattered to pieces, all for the sake of a belief.
Today, she has taken up this belief, igniting the seeds of fighting for the future of humanity, giving her, a small individual, the courage to change the world.
If her parents were still alive, they would be so proud of themselves; their beloved daughter has finally grown up.
As Ning Shu thought about it, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
People came and went in the square. Some noticed Ning Shu's expression and wanted to go up and comfort her, but they held back when they saw Xiao Lan, who was expressionless beside her.
Ning Shu sat in the square for almost the entire day. After watching the sunset, she returned to her hotel and went straight to sleep.
Xiao Lan sent today's records to Si Chen, but this time Si Chen didn't open them.
He deliberately didn't open it, feeling that he had been focusing too much energy on Ning Shu lately, which wasn't a good sign.
The next day, after Ning Shu woke up, Xiao Lan came to her and said, "Miss Ning, we have to go back to Youcheng today."
Ning Shu casually tidied herself up: "What's the rush? There's still one day left. I should be leaving tomorrow morning."
Xiao Lan frowned after hearing this: "If Miss Ning's matter is not yet resolved, then we should hurry up and take care of it. If it is resolved, then we should go back as soon as possible."
I heard that Mr. Si is coming back today. If he finds that Miss Ning is not here, there may be trouble. I am most afraid that Mr. Si will take his anger out on me.
After all, she had already witnessed Mr. Si's unpredictable temper.
Ning Shu glanced at Xiao Lan: "Is there something you need to rush back for? Si Chen probably doesn't really want to see me, does he?"
Xiaolan: Who said Mr. Si wanted to see you? You wish!
Even if Xiaolan didn't say it, Ning Shu guessed it was because of Si Zhong. She always believed that he wouldn't give up on her so easily.
She originally thought they had no future in the game, but she didn't expect that even after leaving the game, they still had no future.
Ning Shu had no idea where the resistance was going to make its move, and was in a rather passive position at this point.
Since the other party did not explicitly tell her to wait somewhere, it means that no matter where she is, the other party should have the ability to take her away.
However, she felt that the place she went to couldn't be too unreasonable. At least she had to make sure that the convenience store staff wouldn't appear too abruptly, otherwise it would easily arouse Xiaolan's suspicion.
Where you go becomes very important.
Before Ning Shu could even sort things out, a turning point came.
When they were checking out, Ning Shu was shocked to see someone in a convenience store uniform in the lobby. This was too blatant.
Doesn't it make logical sense for someone from a convenience store to come to a hotel?
The convenience store staff actually walked towards her, and Ning Shu felt very nervous, as if she was about to be exposed.
Unexpectedly, after approaching her, the other person stood directly between her and Xiaolan and placed a paper bag on the front desk:
"Hello, this is a delivery requested by the customer in room 308. They requested that it be delivered to the front desk. Please confirm with the customer before delivering it."
As they spoke, the hand closest to Ning Shu slipped a slip of paper into Ning Shu's hand.
Using the other person's body as cover, Ning Shu quickly stuffed the note into her pocket.
The receptionist, used to it, replied, "Okay."
Ning Shu raised an eyebrow after hearing this. So this is the norm?
After the other person left, Ning Shu asked, "Does the front desk still handle delivery now?"
The receptionist smiled and said, "Some customers are worried about safety and will specifically request delivery from the front desk. There's nothing we can do about it; the customer is king."
Haha, this kind of thing hasn't changed even after more than a hundred years.
Ning Shu asked Xiao Lan curiously, "Is it really this complicated to check out of a room?"
I used to just close the door and leave when I checked out, but now I have to wait here for ages? This service is terrible.
Xiao Lan felt that Ning Shu was being treated too well, and helplessly explained:
"In order to protect Ms. Ning's privacy, I damaged many normal devices inside, and now I am calculating the amount of compensation."
Oh~
Ning Shu understood, but whether or not her trivial privacy was protected made no difference.
"I'll go to the restroom first, you can take your time calculating."
Ning Shu took the opportunity to go to the restroom, hid in a stall, and opened the note that the other party had handed her. It read, "At 2 PM today, someone will meet you in the household goods section of Tianhuan Supermarket."
It's here!
Ning Shu was a little excited when she saw this sentence. After memorizing the information, she tore the note into pieces and threw it into the toilet to flush it away.
Back at the front desk, they discovered that Xiaolan had actually paid hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Ning Shu asked, puzzled, "Are the hotel's facilities really that expensive?"
Xiaolan: "They said they had it, so we gave it to them."
What? You'd give money to anyone who asks for an exorbitant amount? Are you that rich?
Ning Shu felt resentful. Xiao Lan only gave her a few thousand yuan, but the hotel had to pay hundreds of thousands. She might as well have given her hundreds of thousands. She didn't want that damn privacy anymore.
After Xiaolan paid, she turned around and found Ning Shu looking at her with a resentful expression, and her heart skipped a beat.
What's going on? Is there anything wrong with her paying compensation?
Ning Shu suggested with a whimsical idea: "How about we stay at another hotel for another night? You don't have to damage those facilities. Just give me all the money, okay?"
Xiaolan: "..."
What are you thinking? If your privacy is leaked, those two Mr. Sis will tear me apart!
Xiao Lan ignored Ning Shu's words and turned to leave immediately.
Xiao Lan showed her personal terminal, preparing to call the aircraft over, but Ning Shu stopped her: "I need to go to the supermarket to buy some things."
Xiaolan asked in confusion, "Can't I buy it at a convenience store?"
Ning Shu: "The convenience store doesn't have what I need."
Xiaolan: "How do you know it didn't exist if you didn't even look?"
You found something that was so hard to find yesterday, and now you're telling me you didn't?
Ning Shu: "The products from the convenience store are no good. I've been ripped off."
Xiaolan: "...Aren't you afraid of being scammed again?"
Ning Shu: "How will you know if you don't try?"
Xiao Lan finally understood that Ning Shu was trying to cause trouble, but she couldn't force him to leave, as that was beyond her authority.
Xiaolan compromised: "Okay, let's go to the supermarket now."
Ning Shu: "No rush, let's grab a bite to eat first, then go shopping at the supermarket."
Xiaolan: "..."
