Duan Xiaolin chuckled: "If you don't want to believe it, you don't have to believe it."
"I just accept what I have." She clasped her hands together. "When I was little, I worshipped many gods and Buddhas, but they all seemed too busy to help me realize my dreams. So I learned to realize what I want to do on my own."
Just like when she was a child, when other children had new dresses to wear and beautiful hairpins, she would silently beg God in her heart to give her the same. Later, she gradually realized that God was not so busy and did not favor everyone equally, so she started to work on her own, from convenience stores, cinemas, amusement parks... Finally, she accidentally came to Hengdian, and many things happened later. She was indeed able to earn money on her own.
Her dreams are not small, and she doesn't have the idea of becoming famous. If there hadn't been any accidents on the set, she would have just been a hard-working employee.
The man held her hand.
Pei Xiqing came back to his senses from his thoughts.
Look sideways at him.
The man was holding an umbrella, his slender figure standing beside her. He leaned over slightly and came over to hold her hand.
He was wearing glasses and his eyes were calm, but she seemed to be able to feel the man's steady heartbeat, again and again, spreading from the place where they touched, and gradually becoming clearer in her ears.
The man's eyes were fixed on her, his deep brows and eyes made him look at her with even more affection.
"From now on, all your dreams, no matter how big or small, will be realized by me."
Pei Xiqing listened to his reassuring voice and couldn't help but laugh, "You said it."
"Um."
She stood up and hugged his waist tightly. "Then I want to check in at many different places. I want to understand the world more and collect more photos."
"It's too easy." He covered her shoulders with the umbrella, put his arm around her and continued walking forward. "Next time, tell me something more difficult."
"Then as a punishment, you will take good care of Ruirui and Xiaobai at home."
"One more of you is more than enough."
"Brother Duan, don't brag. It's not easy to take care of a child. Don't brag here. Ruirui will cry all night and you won't be able to sleep. Don't leave it to Auntie."
"I see." He said, "I'm also learning how to be a good father. Why not start by raising children?"
Pei Xiqing met an old friend at the base.
She never thought that she would have the chance to see these old friends again.
Tang Yitong, Tan Yuanxin, and other teammates in their team were sitting around the big round table.
Tang Yitong couldn't help but secretly glance at Pei Xiqing several times. Pei Xiqing was still studying the crystal core in her hand and didn't notice her. But she couldn't help herself, "Sister Qing'er, you..."
"What's wrong?" Pei Xiqing raised her eyes from the crystal core and asked, "I haven't figured it out yet. Don't worry. I have a friend who's an expert in this field. We might need to ask him to identify it. But I feel like the crystal core you found is a little... well, it doesn't look like a crystal core."
Tang Yitong held her hand and said quickly, "No, no, that's not what I meant."
She directly took the crystal core from Pei Xiqing's hand and said, "This broken stone was just something we found when we went to the red alert zone. It's just an empty shell. I guess all the power inside is gone. It was probably destroyed by the huge explosion before. But it doesn't matter anymore... What's important is..."
Tang Yitong came up to Pei Xiqing and stared at her face: "Sister Qing'er!"
"Ah? What's the matter? Tell me..."
Tang Yitong yelled, "Why haven't you contacted us for so long? I was so worried about you! We haven't seen each other for so long since we last separated in Guiba."
She looked like she was about to accuse someone. Pei Xiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly hugged her and said, "I'm sorry. I was so busy back then, and a lot of things happened later, so I didn't have time to look for you. But I always knew you were safe, so I didn't want to disturb you until things were stable."
Tan Yuanxin, who was sitting next to Tang Yitong, coughed and pulled his impulsive sister back.
"Yitong! Calm down. Why are you touching Miss Duan as soon as you come here? If someone sees you, they will think you are disrespectful."
Tang Yitong stuck out her tongue: "She is my Qing'er's sister, not an outsider, right!"
Pei Xiqing nodded quickly and pulled her chair next to him: "Come sit here, no, Brother Tan, don't worry. Yi Tong and I haven't seen each other for a long time, no."
Tan Yuanxin seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
There were about ten people sitting at the table.
The table is big enough and the private room is also big enough.
Pei Xiqing specifically found the largest restaurant on the site and booked a private room.
Everyone was a little excited after taking their seats.
I just met you outside the base. It was such a coincidence.
Tan Yuanxin couldn't help but raise his glass and said, "Everyone has worked hard during this period. I'm glad to see you again. I hope our team can be reunited again, and Miss Duan can be safe and sound. Come on! Let's have a drink together!"
He added, "We have another duty later, so we'll have tea instead of wine."
Pei Xiqing quickly filled the glass: "Come, let's celebrate our reunion."
Tang Yitong was the most excited. After clinking glasses with them, she began chattering around Pei Xiqing, "Sister Qing'er! Tell me who that man was next to you in the ghost room! I was very, very impressed by him! He didn't look like someone to be messed with, especially the handsome white-haired guy next to him. Come on, introduce him to me!"
She thought about how she was in a ghost world at that time, and when they appeared in the scene, she thought they were so handsome, like gods saving the world!
Even though they look tougher than each other...
Moreover, that handsome white-haired guy seemed to have some opinions about her talking about Big Brother.
Pei Xiqing paused and looked at Tan Yuanxin.
Tan Yuanxin was confused: "What's wrong, Miss Duan?"
Pei Xiqing coughed awkwardly, "Brother Tan, my last name isn't Duan. I'm sorry, there were some special circumstances before, and I haven't explained it to you clearly. I'm really sorry."
It was indeed her own fault at that time.
I did feel guilty about deceiving them.
Tang Yitong and Tan Yuanxin were both a little confused.
Tang Yitong couldn't help but ask, "Sister Qing'er, what's your name?"
Tan Yuanxin, however, knew something about it.
He already knew the identity of that person.
"My name is..."
Pei Xiqing was just about to speak.
The door behind him was pushed open from the outside.
The man was dressed in simple and capable work clothes, and walked in with steady steps.
Pulling out the chair next to her, he said, "Sorry, I just finished dealing with something at hand and am late."
