Chapter 1: Crossing into Another World
Xu Feng took the elevator back to his home on the twentieth floor, thinking that if he were to be dropped from the twentieth floor, it would be enough to create a large pit.
Seeing Lin Xi like this, Xu Feng somewhat flusteredly avoided Lin Xi's gaze and pretended to smile as he said, "It's nothing!"
Xu Feng smiled and said, "How about this? I will get a few more pairs of slippers."
If there were any other way, who would willingly set up a stall in the middle of the night
Xu Feng's teasing and intense gaze caused a slight blush to appear on Lin Xi's face. She lightly scolded Xu Feng, saying: "A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory. However, why are you carrying such a heavy brick?"
"Oh... you came back quite early tonight." Just as Xu Feng opened the door and was about to turn on the light, a surprised voice suddenly echoed in the dark space, startling Xu Feng. He quickly turned on the light and, upon seeing the bright and beautiful woman in front of him, smiled and said, "You came to see me so late at night; aren't you afraid I might pester you to study some romantic films?"
Let me rest for a while, Xu Feng said softly, rubbing his somewhat fatigued head
Lin Xi gazed at Xu Feng's exceptional and tall figure, as if he were embedded in the misty landscape of the river and sky outside. She suddenly felt a wave of sadness filling her chest
Xu Feng turned his head to look. The old man's face was covered with deep wrinkles, clearly bearing the marks of time. Xu Feng did not heed his advice to go under the eaves; instead, he smiled at the old man and said, "Sir, it is about to rain heavily. You should hurry and pack up to go home."
Xu Feng recalled that his parents had both passed away due to a congenital hereditary disease, and he had long anticipated this day. This was also the reason why Xu Feng had never harmed Lin Xi, as well as part of the reason why he had indulged in a life of excess; since life was short, he decided to live it to the fullest.
However, looking into Lin Xi's defiant eyes, Xu Feng felt unable to resist the allure of this woman. He walked onto the balcony, where it was already pouring rain outside. The rainwater drenched Xu Feng instantly.
Lin Xi has always understood Xu Feng's feelings for her. Over the years, he has indulged in romance and pleasure, and the number of women he has been with is countless. However, Lin Xi has always remained by his side. She believes that once Xu Feng has had enough of his frivolous lifestyle, he will naturally settle down. Even now, she still holds this belief.
What is character
This does not suggest that Xu Feng is a good person; rather, it evaluates him through the women he has been involved with throughout history, revealing that at his core, Xu Feng is a lewd and shamelessly lustful individual. However, Lin Xi is different from others. When Xu Feng's parents passed away, it was Lin Xi's family that took care of him. In fact, the tuition for his final year of university was even lent to him by Lin Xi's parents.
Xu Feng has always believed that he has good character. He and his classmate were simultaneously flirting with a beautiful woman at a bar. His classmate received a slap in the face, while Xu Feng was merely spat upon. Of course, Xu Feng initiated the flirting first
Seeing the old man in such a state, Xu Feng was just about to grab a few more pairs of slippers when his attention was drawn to a stone. This stone was not particularly attractive; it merely differed in color from ordinary bricks, likely having turned green due to the growth of moss.
The brick was instantly shattered into powder, and at the center of the brick appeared a piece of purple jade. As this purple jade emerged, it devoured all the lightning that had been cleaved off. In Xu Feng's hand, a brilliant purple lotus flower erupted, and beneath the purple lotus, Xu Feng's body began to transform into specks of light starting from his palm, gradually dissipating into the void. Xu Feng watched helplessly as his body was slowly transformed into starlight. When his entire body had turned into starlight, the sense of death emanating from the purple lotus enveloped Xu Feng's entire consciousness, devouring his wretched soul.
The elderly man took the one-hundred-yuan bill handed to him by Xu Feng, felt his pocket, and then awkwardly said: "Young man, I can't give you change for this. How about you just give it to me next time?"
For Lin Xi's family, Xu Feng had long regarded them as relatives, making it difficult for him to harm their daughter. Although Xu Feng knew that Lin Xi would not resist him
What happened? Lin Xi looked at Xu Feng with tenderness, showing no concealment of her feelings for him
This clearly suggestive remark made Xu Feng's heart race; Lin Xi was undoubtedly the most intellectually beautiful woman he had ever encountered. Xu Feng had indeed considered the possibility of something happening, but reason had always held him back from reaching out.
Lin Xi was almost unable to suppress her laughter upon hearing that Xu Feng had actually bought a brick. She knew that Xu Feng had always been displeased with that BMW parked downstairs, but he simply refused to admit that he was jealous.
Young man
... ...
Xu Feng thought to himself, since everything is being delayed anyway, it would be better to buy a few pairs from the old man. If it really doesn't work out, I could just switch a few brand labels and sell them at a discount to those friends who love brands, I could still make a few hundred yuan!
The old man revealed a faint smile on his face, his wrinkles gathering together, devoid of any fierce expression, instead giving a sense of kindness: "Hehe, let's wait a bit longer. In the past, I would set up my stall until 2 AM, and it is only just midnight now"
Xu Feng did not wait for the old man to respond; he dragged several pairs of slippers and carried a brick as he stepped away, while the sky above continued to rumble with thunder and lightning. However, the sight of Xu Feng holding a brick in one hand and a pair of slippers in the other was exceedingly comical. A few passing women, who were also wandering through the nightlife like the characters in a comic book, saw this and each covered their mouths, stifling their laughter.
Xu Feng whistled loudly at several young women, and before he could tease them, they scolded, "What are you whistling for? If you whistle again, I'll pull out your feathers."
Just as Lin Xi watched Xu Feng raise the brick in his hand, preparing to throw it down, a bolt of lightning once again split the void, striking down fiercely and illuminating the entire sky. What made Lin Xi widen her eyes in astonishment was that the lightning, originally aimed at the south, unexpectedly twisted at an incredible angle and struck towards the brick in Xu Feng's hand.
Good
Xu Feng walked to the end of the balcony, and the rain pounded down even more fiercely on him, creating a sound of raindrops striking.
"Are you crazy? It's about to rain heavily, and you still have the window open," Lin Xi said angrily as she looked at Xu Feng. Just as she was about to close the window, Xu Feng grabbed her hand, his skin soft and warm like a piece of warm jade, the sensation stirring her soul. Xu Feng felt his heart tremble.
The woman before him wore a light purple chiffon dress, featuring a simple yet elegant large check pattern, adorned with sparkling rhinestone buttons that decorated the low-cut collar, revealing a glimpse of her snow-white skin. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her delicate face resembled spring, with a straight nose and luscious red lips. Her chest was prominently lifted, and the thin, tight-fitting pants accentuated her long, beautiful legs, creating an astonishingly alluring elasticity that could be felt just by looking. Xu Feng greedily gazed for quite a while.
"Old man, give me this stone, and I'll consider it worth one hundred yuan," Xu Feng said to the elderly man, thinking to himself that he could use this stone to smash the BMW parked downstairs. Damn it, it was too much of an eyesore.
Damn it, it's going to rain
Boom
Dragging his somewhat intoxicated body and walking with a slightly unsteady gait towards his residential community, Xu Feng recalled the test report from the hospital. He wondered if he had exhausted all his good fortune over the past twenty-plus years.
Lin Xi had not yet had the chance to stop Xu Feng when she heard him laugh and say: "I just bought a brick and if I throw it down and hit that BMW, you should hurry back to your own home downstairs. If I don't hit it, then it's up to you, how about that"
Xu Feng smiled, casually tossed the slippers aside, and walked to the balcony to open the glass doors. At a height of twenty stories, the wind blew fiercely, causing a slight sting.
Character is demonstrated when, while squatting over a toilet, someone else drops their wallet into the pit, and you only drop your lighter
A flash of lightning tore through the void, accompanied by the sound of thunder. The weather in July is like a woman's temper, changing abruptly; the lightning that rips through the space illuminates the sky brilliantly. Xu Feng looked up for a moment and saw the sky shrouded in a layer of gray, overcast clouds
Xu Feng took two steps forward and casually selected a few items from the old man's stall. He took out a hundred yuan bill and handed it to the old man without bargaining. A person who persists in setting up a stall at two in the morning must have experienced the hardships of life. Ten or twenty yuan is nothing to him, but for the old man, it may be a guarantee for their livelihood. Therefore, Xu Feng rarely haggles with street vendors, even though he has dated a girlfriend who enjoyed bargaining. He would still stop her from negotiating with the stall owners.

However, recalling the hospital's test report, Xu Feng vigorously patted his head, not expecting that the end of life would come so swiftly
"Young man, it's about to rain. Hurry over here to take shelter!" An old man setting up a stall under the eaves observed Xu Feng's unsteady steps and called out.
Lin Xi was held by Xu Feng, her body slightly stiffened, and she did not struggle. Her pair of shimmering eyes gazed at Xu Feng. Suddenly, she sensed an unusual mental fatigue emanating from him, which Lin Xi found quite incredible. In her impression, Xu Feng had always been indulgent and hedonistic.
The old man was equally astonished by Xu Feng's words; this stone was something he had picked up from a demolished ancient house to weigh down the cloth on the ground and prevent it from being blown away by the wind. How could it possibly be valuable
Xu Feng felt a wave of embarrassment, thinking to himself that the current female ruffians were becoming increasingly rampant
Xu Feng shook his head but did not quicken his pace; he continued to walk with a feigned gait. The cool breeze before the heavy rain, however, somewhat sobered him from his drunkenness.
Just as the old man was about to say something, he was interrupted by Xu Feng, who said, "Let's leave it at that"
Lin Xi smiled and said that she knew the owner of that BMW, a typical second-generation rich kid, who was quite arrogant on a daily basis, even drifting in the community. If she could hit him, it would be very satisfying for her
However, one hundred yuan is still too much. The old man said honestly, a bit anxiously, that the flip-flops at the street stall only cost ten yuan a pair, and with the items Xu Feng just selected, it would only amount to a little over seventy yuan
Lin Xi looked at Xu Feng, who was smiling and urging her to go home, and despite having experienced many rejections like this before, she still felt a slight sting in her heart: "I don't want to go home today"
"Go back. Otherwise, Aunt Lin will come here to pick someone up again," Xu Feng said with a smile to Lin Xi. After graduating from university, Xu Feng frequented various entertainment venues, living a life of indulgence and excess. For him, Lin Xi was the last piece of pure land in his heart. Although Xu Feng knew that if he wanted to, he could likely win Lin Xi over, he had never taken that step.
The thunder rumbled incessantly, yet the rain had yet to fall. As Xu Feng entered the elevator on his floor and saw the parked BMW downstairs, he glanced at the stone in his hand and smiled faintly: Just wait, I will drop this down to smash you, so as not to offend my eyes
