Chapter 165
"Heh, you liar!"
Shuttle: ...
"I'm not lying to you. Even the main system wouldn't dare to go head-to-head with the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning. I'm just an ant." The shuttle's tone carried a hint of apology.
"Can you communicate verbally from now on?" Fu Le didn't want to waste her energy on one thing. After all, they weren't her family. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, and she could understand.
"Yes, this makes communication easier for us. Also, you can choose to travel between different locations, but each trip will require ten square meters of repair space." To express its apology, the shuttle was willing to make the sacrifice.
"No need, I have nothing on my mind. Hmm, not for now." Thinking of her master on the Spirit Continent, Fu Le still felt a little worried. She wondered how long the old man would live and whether he would be able to wait for her.
"The timeline in the dimension you left is one-to-one with Earth's; one day for you is one day for him. You don't need to worry about the old man dying; he still has over five hundred years to live."
Fu Le: ...
"So you can see what I'm thinking from now on?" Fu Le said with a dark face.
"No, I can only watch if you allow me to. If you shut down my hearing, I won't be able to hear anything."
"How do I turn it off?"
Shuttle: ...
Although unwilling, knowing what Fu Le cared about, the shuttle still spoke up.
After closing the window, Fu Le finally breathed a sigh of relief; she truly didn't want anyone to pry into her thoughts.
"However, with the shuttle, can you see other people's thoughts? If it's turned on."
"Yes, anyone in the world."
Fu Le raised an eyebrow in surprise; this was yet another skill he had acquired.
'Host, time's up. Prepare to disembark.'
only……
This departure was somewhat strange.
The shuttle had assumed that Fu Le would wake up immediately upon returning to her original dimension, just like before. However, this time, she did not; she seemed to have fallen into the depths of a dream.
'Fu Le, wake up quickly!! If you get lost in the spatial rift, you'll never wake up again!! Fu Le!! Host!! Host!!'
Since the shuttle has no physical form, it cannot touch Fu Le's body; it can only run wild and erratic in Fu Le's mind.
The sky is blue, the water is green, and the air is filled with the pleasant scent of fresh grass.
Fu Le walked barefoot on the damp grass, which was prickly but comfortable. Hey, there's a stream here too.
Fu Le heard the sound of water ahead. As he approached, he saw a hidden stream in the middle of the lawn, its water gurgling as it flowed through the grass, its bottom crystal clear.
Fu Le approached the stream step by step, then squatted down to touch it. It was icy cold. He probed deeper and even saw small fish swimming by. Such an environment made him genuinely happy.
"Lele..." Just as Fu Le was enjoying splashing in the stream, a voice called out from behind, sounding like a sigh yet also like joy. It was familiar, but unreal.
Fu Le paused, withdrew his hand, and slowly stood up. At this moment, it was as if a movie was in slow motion, frame by frame, with the intervals being infinitely stretched.
Footsteps came from behind, familiar, one after another, slow and firm, as if stepping on the very tip of her heart.
"Lele, I miss you so much." The owner of the voice stopped behind her, just a step away.
At this moment, Fu Le could no longer hold back and turned around abruptly. When that handsome young face, which she hadn't seen for so long, came into view, tears welled up in her eyes.
At this moment, she realized how much that first love, which hadn't even begun yet yet caused her such heartache, had affected her!
Why doesn't she go to his grave?
Because she refused to admit that the boy who had amazed her had left her world forever, and she could no longer find or touch him.
The handsome, fair-skinned boy, his eyes red and a shallow dimple appearing at the corner of his lips, opened his arms and said, "Lele, long time no see, won't you give me a hug?"
However, the girl he had loved for two lifetimes did not fall into her arms. Instead, she looked up at him with tears streaming down her face.
"Sigh..." A sigh escaped from his cherry-red lips. He took a step forward, preparing to pull the person into his arms, but unexpectedly, his lips felt warm, and something pressed against them.
The boy stood there dumbfounded, a pair of wet hands cupping his cheeks, completely stealing his breath.
And then, and then...
Fu Le opened her eyes. Before her was a familiar ceiling, blue sky and white clouds, lush green grass, and a delicate young man. The moisture on his lips was gone...
"Host!! You're finally awake!! Oh my, oh my, you scared me to death, you scared me to death..." The system's childish voice rang in my mind.
Fu Le: ...
That's the sound that woke her up!! Damn it!!
"Shuttle!! Why did you wake me up?!"
Shuttle: !!! !!!
'You're back, but you're still not awake. I'm afraid you'll get lost in the spatial rift...' If the shuttle had a physical body at this moment, it would definitely be huddled in a corner with its neck tucked in.
Fu Le: ...
Sitting up, Fu Le ruffled her soft, long hair. Thinking of the memories in her dream, her face turned as red as an apple.
Remembering the boy's words, "Come find me... I'll wait for you..." she couldn't sit still. He was there during the tribulation, and he was there again in this dream, saying the same things. And when she thought about what he said when he left, telling her not to forget him, she realized that if she still couldn't understand, she would be incredibly stupid.
There must be a reason why he can't say it outright.
Upon learning that Fang Ge was still alive, Fu Le was overwhelmed with emotion. Her first thought was to find him and bring him back!
She's already lived a second life; if she still can't bring the person she likes into her life, how utterly incompetent would she be?!
He said he was still alive, but Wang Jin saw him buried with her own eyes. If he was still alive, he must have changed bodies and been resurrected. She knew that.
But where is he?
I had absolutely no clue.
Fu Le raised her hand to her heart, where it was beating rapidly, like a stampede of horses. The taste on her lips seemed to linger, making her reluctant to leave.
At this moment, in a special-grade ward at a military hospital far away on the border.
A tall, slender figure lay silently on the snow-white hospital bed. His eyes were closed, and his pale face was lifeless. The condensation on his oxygen mask was proof that he was still alive.
The ward door was suddenly pulled open, and a figure walked in carrying a basin. "Battalion Commander, if you don't wake up soon, your achievements will be swallowed up by that bastard Fu Bo. The promotion application has been submitted for so long, and the commander has already softened his stance. If you don't wake up soon, Fu Bo will take the position that originally belonged to you. Battalion Commander, your stepmother is really a scoundrel; she won't even let the division commander come to see you..." Xiao Zhou sadly cleaned up the person on the bed and massaged their limbs.
The thought that his most respected battalion commander might never wake up made him so distressed that he wanted to kill that woman. And when he thought of the battalion commander's father, he gritted his teeth in hatred.
The battalion commander will wake up, he definitely will...
But it's been two years... Is it possible for him to wake up?
capital.
Fu Le pondered for a long time, but couldn't find any clues about where the square was. She could only hope to fall asleep again, but when she lay back in bed, she couldn't fall asleep at all.
After trying for a long time to no avail, Fu Le sat up and went to wash up.
She's taking the train this afternoon to Yunnan Province to discuss cooperation with Zhangjia Village.
Not long after, a phone call came in. "Boss, Zhao Xi and I are almost there," Wang Li's voice came through.
"good."
Fu Le casually picked out a black down jacket from the closet, changed into jeans, and was stunned by the person in the full-length mirror when he turned around to face it.
She had always known she was beautiful, but at this moment, she had to admit that revealing her face would really cause trouble.
From her face to her hands, her skin had a cool, pale white hue, yet it wasn't pale. It looked flawless, as smooth as fine porcelain. Her oval face was rounded out, as if it had been meticulously sculpted, just right. Beneath her long, curled natural eyelashes were beautifully shaped almond-shaped eyes, and below her straight nose were perfectly proportioned cherry-red lips. Her long, flowing black hair, reaching her waist, made her face even more stunning.
What a disaster! After this tribulation, her features seem to have been completely reconstructed, making her unrealistically beautiful.
Looking at her perfectly proportioned figure, Fu Le's lips curled up in a smile. What girl wouldn't want a perfect figure and a beautifully sculpted face?
Square, you've struck gold! Hmph~
"Shuttle, why are my eyes black right now?"
'Not getting angry is black.'
"Huh? How did you know?"
'I'm merely stating the facts about the main system.'
"What other strange and unusual knowledge does your main system possess?"
'If you don't leave soon, your little monkey will eat all the spirit fruits in that basket.'
Fu Le: ...
"Eat up, I have enough spiritual fruits here for it to eat until it dies."
'Just spoil it.' The shuttle seemed to be a little upset.
Fu Le did not notice.
I applied a dull foundation to my exposed skin before going outside.
Fu Le's portable water bottle was a rough ceramic teacup with a lid, about 100 milliliters in size. It was filled with the spiritual liquid of the monkey clan. The cup was given to him by the monkey clan. It contained a thousand cubic meters of liquid. Fu Le drank a few sips of the spiritual liquid and then put it away.
Wang Li bought four tickets just so that there would be no outsiders in one of the private rooms.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Zhao Xi set off with Wang Li. He knew that there were two other big bosses above Brother Han. He had met President Lu before, but this elusive behind-the-scenes boss was a first for him, so he was quite uneasy.
He knew that the purpose of sending him there this time was to secure the supply of medicinal herbs in Yunnan Province. Once that was done, he would be in charge the next time he went there. So, for the first time, he, who was always meticulous in his work, put his shoes on the wrong feet. It was only after Wang Li reminded him that he realized he had to change them.
Stepping through the grand and opulent gates of Xingyao Residence, the tension reached its peak, a fact even Wang Li noticed.
"Director Zhao, don't be nervous. The boss is a very good person and values talent. As long as you are loyal, she will do her best to cultivate talented people." Wang Li would seize any opportunity to brainwash newcomers about his boss.
"Yes, yes, I know. Brother Han also said that President Fu is a very good person." In the brief moment before swallowing, they had already arrived at their destination.
Wang Li pressed the doorbell and opened the combination lock himself. "Let's go, I've already spoken to the boss."
"good."
As Zhao Xi stepped through the gate, he saw a tall, beautiful, and imposing young woman descending the stairs on his right.
This is?
"Boss, this is Zhao Xi."
"President Fu, I am Zhao Xi." I didn't expect President Fu to be so young.
Adjusting his black-rimmed glasses, Zhao Xi stepped forward and greeted them somewhat awkwardly.
Seeing Zhao Xi dressed in a black cotton-padded coat with wrinkles in the pants, Fu Le frowned. In the village, poor clothing wouldn't be enough to intimidate them.
"Take him to the guest room to pick out a suit, a black wool coat, leather shoes, a tie, and a watch—all are essential."
"yes."
Zhao Xi: ? ? ?
Hey, hey, hey? Why do we have to change clothes? This suit of his cost a thousand to be custom-made, and it's the first time he's worn it.
When Zhao Xi saw the men's suits and various expensive watches in the dressing room, he couldn't utter another word.
"Don't overthink it. These clothes are what the boss prepared for her top subordinates. If you do your job well and are outstanding, this kind of attire will be your everyday wear."
Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief as he enjoyed his newfound success, his spirits lifted. "Yes, I understand. Thank you for the guidance, Brother Wang."
“There’s nothing to advise you on. As long as you’re loyal, everything will be fine. We’re all family.” Wang Li helped Zhao Xi pick out a suitable watch and handed it to him. “These are all symbols of status. Perform well and don’t embarrass the boss. The boss has no shortage of diamond-encrusted watches like these.”
Zhao Xi: ...
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
It's such a big pancake! He didn't want to eat it, but it smelled so good, it was so soft, and it looked so tempting!
To eat or not to eat?!
Not eating it is foolish!!
When he came out again, Zhao Xi was like a completely different person, exuding an air of sophistication.
Fu Le was satisfied.
"Set off."
Zhao Xi is the person Fu Le plans to stay there. In addition, more than ten employees will be sent to be stationed there. The leaders of the stationed company will be provided with food and accommodation and will be allowed to bring their families.
When the three appeared at the train station, they attracted a lot of attention. Behind the imposing woman were clearly bodyguards. Where were they going?
Several other people also noticed them.
Sun Lin never expected that he would run into Fu Le, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, just because his younger sister dragged him out as a travel companion. Moreover, Fu Le was accompanied by bodyguards, and judging from their aura, they were no ordinary people.
He didn't know much about Fu Le's family background. Judging from Xingyao Residence, it seemed quite good. But ever since he sent her back last time, he had been busy with other things, and Fu Le hadn't gone to her grandfather's place again, so he had forgotten about her. He never expected that he would see her again at the train station.
"Hey bro, look at that girl, she's got two bodyguards! And their suits look so expensive! Who's she, some rich heiress? So high-profile!" Sun Jia looked at the tall girl with envy. He wondered how she grew so tall—not only was she pretty, but she was also so tall with such long legs… *sobs*
"Jiajia, what's there to envy? Aren't you also Professor Sun's daughter? You're just more low-key." Zhou Ling, holding Sun Jia's hand, glanced sideways in Fu Le's direction, unable to bear the sight.
