Chapter 1, The Mole on the Palm

On the contrary, upon seeing me, weary and travel-worn, she nearly fell from her rocking chair. After stumbling a few times, she steadied herself and rushed over with lightning speed, grasping my hand with the excitement one would show upon meeting the Prime Minister, "Cheng Gaigai, why did it take you so long to find me?!"

Hiss ... ...

Seeing the nurse's fearful expression, two additional words were added: "do your best"

I participated in his life at the ages of 2, 12, and 22, yet I was unable to receive his unwavering affection as depicted in novels. On the contrary, he fell in love with my sister because she is more beautiful than I am

That night, I had already planned the time to set off back home, but Liu Dazhuang caused a commotion. He suddenly rushed up to the attic, his face bruised and swollen, and shouted at me: "From now on, I will no longer be bullied"

Liu Dazhuang emerged from the emergency room with a large piece of medical cloth wrapped around the corner of his right eye, and I laughed at him for a long time. Sheng Shan seemed a bit guilty, and I comforted her not to take it to heart

There is a mole in the palm of my hand

Hit him hard!

Even if the editor sent me explosives, I would be powerless. Because later, regarding my memories of him, I completely forgot them, just like an empty bottle of vodka.

Before the plane landed, I felt a bit anxious. I was afraid that the person in the photo was not Sheng Shan. Even more, I feared that she was, yet unwilling to return with me.

You should turn around and run away right now... Why is the plot like this? What should I do with the lines I prepared to persuade you?!

A young man once told me that those with moles in the palm of their hands will face eighty-one tribulations in this life, akin to the journey to the West for scriptures. After overcoming each tribulation, they will lose a cherished person. Only when they become indifferent to all losses can they attain Buddhahood.

She said, if I care for someone with the same feelings, then I should understand better than anyone else that a broken person cannot save another broken person. Since salvation is impossible, rather than jumping into the fire together and turning to ashes, it is better to let go and allow for completion

Previously, Sheng Shan had truly contemplated spending the rest of his life in this small town with He Yuan. However, Zhou Yin arrived

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly stuffed the beef into his mouth, as if afraid that He Yuan would snatch it back, laughing without any guard. I just sat opposite, watching.

During the time I was unconscious, Sheng Shan quickly dialed 120, but Liu Dazhuang suddenly remembered something and rushed out with my phone. Half a minute later, he returned to the room, only to be pressed against the wall by Sheng Shan, who had a serious expression on her face, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "What exactly are you two hiding from me?"

I trembled all over, just like Daiyu, my vision darkened, and I was so frightened that I fell to the ground and could not get up

Before coming, Liu Dazhuang had already informed that Sheng Shan was in Wangcheng. Therefore, in front of her, Zhou Yin pretended to be calm. In reality, upon seeing an old acquaintance, his own world had long been filled with turmoil and chaos.

However, what follows is a revision by Cheng. You don't intend to include this disjointed story in the collection, do you? Trust me, readers will send you razor blades, and I will too

The instigator is a young man, who appears to have a particular fondness for joking. Amidst the howling cold wind, he tightened his grip on Liu Dazhuang's hand and said: "I apologize, brother. Fortunately, it wasn't a girl that was taken away; otherwise, I might not have returned it."

No problem, first class

At this moment, facing the screenshot of the Weibo post sent by Liu Dazhuang, I couldn't even be bothered to take a glance. Yet, he repeatedly sent messages that caused the window to shake, filling the screen with an expression of a chicken spitting blood.

Having said that, she pushed the milky-white shell bracelet back to him, "I am merely one of countless paths; you have walked through it, and it is done. Please do not remember me."

With the advantage of his height, Sheng Shan forcefully squished my face together, saying, "If you don't come soon, I will die far from home!"

At that time, due to Sheng Shan, I had already become familiar with him and could not help but enter into a mode of casual banter

At that moment, Sheng Shan felt particularly wronged

For example, secretly take a photo of me with my mouth wide open in front of Orleans-style grilled wings and post it online. Expose that I can go four days without washing my hair as long as I don't go out. Complain that every time we eat hot pot together, when it's time to pay the bill, I pretend to have a stomachache and go to the restroom. Criticize me for being able to chew a piece of Green Arrow gum for more than half an hour

He Yuan drove and was to take us to the airport together with Sheng Shan. I opened my arms, intending to give Sheng Shan a farewell hug, but my arms weakly slipped, and I accidentally slapped Miss Sheng on the ear. In the next moment, I only heard her furious roar beside my ear, "Cheng, change, change!"

Fortunately, she is willing to come back

The man surveyed me for a long time with a particularly absurd expression in his eyes, murmuring, "I don't know why, but I always feel that you look somewhat familiar."

Sheng Shan finally let go, but did not intend to give up, "On the day we met, she complained of a headache from just a little breeze, and now she has fainted for no apparent reason, which is completely unlike her fierce demeanor." Liu Dazhuang responded with silence.

Since that "accident," I have not seen Sheng Shan smile so carefree again. Now that I have learned that she has left us and is still living happily, what reason do I have to be unsatisfied

a failure

However

For her personal safety, I have finally adjusted my state and begun to retreat.

Sheng Shan looked at me suspiciously for a moment and said, "Oh, the one who used to carry buckets of water upstairs without even panting is now acting like Lin Daiyu?" Although the words were sharp, he subconsciously threw his shawl to me and said, "Go inside." After saying that, he walked in.

Liu Dazhuang was still chattering incessantly, and I deliberately bit my teeth together to make a clicking sound, which finally made him stop talking and sit up straight to read again

Has she not firmly decided to sever all ties with her past for a lifetime

All who come are well-trained; after a few exchanges, it is still impossible to determine a victor. As the action is hindered, the others who are tasked with carrying out orders focus solely on achieving their objectives. Relying on their numbers, one of them executed a sweeping move that disrupted Sheng Shan's center of gravity, and then the person facing the wall transformed into her

The newly constructed asphalt roads lead directly to the Sheng residence. Noticing her curious gaze, Zhou Yin, who was holding the steering wheel, remarked nonchalantly, "You have little patience when driving." On one occasion, they nearly had an accident, which prompted him to get involved in urban planning last year. Now, the routes from all directions have significantly shortened her journey home.

Indeed, Liu Wei is quite impressive; by the time he reached high school, his essays were often used by teachers as examples, albeit as negative ones

The man's surname is He, and his name is He Yuan. He took a taxi to send me, He Liu Dazhuang, to a hotel in the city center, and he also left his phone number, saying that if we encounter any difficulties in Wangcheng, we can contact him

In an instant, the person behind me, calm and composed, breathed heavily

In that case, I said, "I originally planned to save money by taking the train, but it seems that there is a plane available now."

Zhou Yinggang had just sent Sheng Shan home and was on his way to the hospital. "Only the medical conditions here are up to standard." The hospital is not open to the public, yet it is a place where international technology has been introduced first.

After a while, I felt a chill descend upon my neck, so cold that it made me shiver. I wanted to turn around, but was held back by Sheng Shan gripping my shoulder

At first, Sheng Shan disagreed, stating that his bones had already formed and that a decayed tree could not be carved. Liu Dazhuang did not give up; in order to prove his qualifications, he sought out Sheng Shan for sparring every day, resulting in the flamboyant marks on his face. Sheng Shan, feeling soft-hearted, relented. He agreed that before we left Wangcheng, if Liu Wei could bring him down, he would recommend him to study under a master, which made Liu Wei feel as excited as if he were about to participate in the World Championship.

Can we not mention that insignificant amount anymore? I will repay it! I will repay it as soon as I get back!

The person behind approaches again, their tone serious

When she and I exchanged just a glance, the past surged forth like waves crashing against the rocks, growing increasingly intense. Unable to control my sorrowful emotions, I found myself wanting to speak but tears flowed first. To my surprise, Sheng Shan did not react to my presence with the rejection I had imagined.

Just as we were enthusiastically envisioning a bright future, Sheng Shan appeared at the right moment and asked, "Are you two sure you want to start an internet company?"

Bincheng is located to the north, while Wangcheng is to the south, with a journey of nearly three hours. Fortunately, with Liu Dazhuang accompanying me, I am not particularly bored.

The city that cools down first also warms up first, the sun rises on the horizon, like a flower, imprinting vividly in the girl's eyes

Also lost was Liu Dazhuang's black backpack

In fact, you may not know this, but I recognized the passage of time long ago. I recognized it as the youth I admired in my childhood. You even borrowed 0.13 yuan from me to buy Slam Dunk stickers, which you have yet to return. Later, you devoted yourself to him, traversing mountains and rivers, making numerous efforts. Meanwhile, I remain as unaccomplished as I was in my childhood

The young boy tightened the straps of his backpack, his tone tinged with a hint of pleading

A group of individuals in black nodded towards the newcomer, and Sheng Shan turned around, the face that had appeared in countless midnight dreams now vividly present before him

In the past twenty-two years, the only person who could make her face the wall, apart from her parents, was Zhou Yin

Liu Dazhuang's words struck a chord with me, and it was only then that I realized I had flown to this unfamiliar city on a whim. I knew nothing about it, had no local friends, and had not even thought about how to initiate a conversation after being apart for more than a year, in a way that would make our reunion seem dramatic.

Therefore, among the myriad faces and forms in the world, I believe there is no one else who can express the qualities of a sharp tongue so vividly and thoroughly

Excuse me? I clearly only chewed for twenty minutes

I wanted to have a conversation with He Shengshan, knowing that it would involve some sensitive words, but I did not expect her to change the subject so quickly. Just hearing his name made my heart, which I dared not face, start to pound wildly.

Without this sentence, Sheng Shan might not feel anxious. But who is Zhou Yin? He is the person who could even bring her the golden Buddha from Sun Yat-sen's dormitory. At this moment, however, he said, to do his best

Zhou Yinke glanced at her with restraint, his lips moved for a while, but he blurted out—

Emotion, that shy thing, loves to hide the most in the eyes. That day at the hotel, when he learned that I was a friend of Sheng Shan, the light flickering in his eyes was extraordinary. Later, he took us to a café, standing outside the glass, gazing from a distance at Sheng Shan sleeping by the window, his gaze softer than silk

I asked him, "Sheng Shan has also disappeared, and you do not know where she has gone, but will you give up searching for her?"

I have to look for a taxi and also check the luggage! I am not standing in the matrix! It is impossible to see everything!" I replied with sorrow and indignation.

I feel embarrassed, which is why I wouldn't do anything like running away to a distant land! However, before I could voice my complaints, she started talking about me instead.

As a competent childhood friend, even in the face of danger, I must say: do not act so recklessly every day; it would be best to also control your appetite, after all, which parent would appreciate such a gluttonous child

But because of this young man, I ultimately gave up on becoming a Buddha and willingly chose to turn to ashes

However, I do not know when it began that the impulsive and troublesome big boy became resilient. In countless moments when he was trampled underfoot, in countless instances when I thought he would give up, he persevered, performing a leap like a carp, turning over and rising again

There is a wooden coffee house by the sea in Wangcheng, named "A Cup of the Vast Sea," built under a particularly large banyan tree. The owner is He Yuan

My goodness

In order to avoid causing trouble, I sat in the hospital corridor to examine the injury on the sole of my foot. The wound was not large, just a scrape, so I found a band-aid to deal with it. Little did I expect that some seemingly insignificant details in life would ultimately become fatal wounds.

Adhering to the principle of "one can endure a rotten face, but cannot skip a meal," Liu Dazhuang, despite the pain from his wounds, indulged in a hearty meal and even snatched the portion of seafood that belonged to me. Strangely, I did not rise up in protest, as I had no appetite

In the morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, he precisely timed his entrance by pushing the door open, moving the small stool from my room to the seaside, and forcing me to watch his various postures of clawing and leg lifting. Unexpectedly, his actions inspired me to come up with a way to make a fortune

Later, Sheng Shan mentioned that when she stubbornly left Bincheng, she indeed thought about no longer having any contact with the people and matters of the past... She wanted to find a small island, to watch the tides rise and fall, and to listen to the wind pass without a trace

Pah

At that time in the KTV, if it weren't for Sheng Shan's intervention, I would have been completely unable to protect you. Lacking even this ability to protect a friend made me doubt myself for a while

Though our vows remain, it is difficult to entrust the brocade letter.

If it were not for those unforeseen circumstances, she should now be a talent in the field of biotechnology. Instead, she can only rely on odd jobs by the seaside to make a living, calculating how much money she has left for food after buying a bottle of perfume, as the perfume is something she cannot forgo even if her hairstyle is disheveled.

A gentle breeze brushed by, and after a long separation, the first words he spoke were not a greeting. Instead, he wore a stern expression and reproached her, just as he did every time she made a mistake

After making up my mind, I began to pack my luggage, intending to explore Wangcheng. To my surprise, just as I went downstairs, I encountered Liu Dazhuang, who looked weary from travel. He was carrying a black backpack, and his freshly cropped short hair stood on end.

Liu Dazhuang was astonished by my suggestion. He probably did not expect that the genius girl in everyone's eyes was not merely a name without substance

He clearly said nothing to persuade her to stay, merely standing in front of her. What she wanted to do was surprisingly just to leap into that gentle embrace and express the feelings she had long kept bottled up. In an instant, Sheng Shan completely understood Cheng Gai Gai

I came with a mindset of trying my luck, handing over the stolen photo of Sheng Shan, and clarifying my intention: "Actually, the two of us are here to look for someone. I have a very important friend who has gone missing, and the last place they were seen was in Wangcheng. So, if possible, please help keep an eye out."

Life seems to particularly care for me, knowing that I want to become the heroine of a novel, and specially arranged for my luggage to disappear shortly after I left the airport.

Everyone kept silent about Cheng Gaigai's illness. After being sent to the nearest hospital, only the medical team that brought her could approach her.

It is winter, and the girl in the picture has a faint rosy hue on her cheeks reminiscent of the highlands. She has wrapped her entire head in a large checkered scarf, leaving only her lively eyes exposed. Upon closer inspection, the floral cotton jacket she is wearing, which belonged to her grandmother, is blinding to my eyes.

He Yan glanced at the photo a few times, and then his pupils widened as if he had encountered a world miracle, his eyebrows involuntarily raised, "I said, it seems like I have seen you somewhere before"

My head still aches, yet my consciousness has never been clearer. "I was originally an ant, but it is because of him that I have grown wings. As a moth, how can I not dare to fly into the fire?"

Fortunately, she is still that little girl who enjoys following behind me

Uncertain how much time had passed, a voice came from behind, feigning anger: "Cheng Gaigai, you are quite cunning, still managing to use those prepared lines, tsk tsk"

Zhou Yin was notified by Liu Dazhuang via phone call

Liu Dazhuang's excitement had somewhat subsided, "That's true, but it really seems like it. However, she only revealed her eyes, and I can't be sure, which is why I called you to verify."

This girl, who seems as strong as a copper wall and an iron bastion, how could she willingly become a moth? It was not until he saw her tears fall unguarded that he suddenly realized, it was indeed true.

When you suddenly find a person who has been missing for a long time, the feeling of cautiously approaching them is akin to approaching a deity, fearing that you might disturb them, and they might vanish again in an instant. However, Sheng Shan has always been perceptive and easily startled. As soon as we pushed the door open, she had already stirred from her deep slumber and turned her head to look over.

If a person who constantly seeks attention asks you to forget her, it can only indicate one thing: it is for your own good

Basically, Liu Dazhuang's words only have a hypnotic effect on me. Just as I was about to doze off, he suddenly read "Chai Tou Feng," and he slapped his thigh and shook me, saying, "I can't believe it, Cheng Gaigai, this poem is completely tailored for you!"

During this time, even I couldn't bear it and wanted to run over to help him, advising him to stop while he was ahead, "It's just a hobby; it's enough to strengthen the body, there's no need to pursue a higher realm." He slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, saying, "This is not a hobby; it is determination." His gaze was fixed.

As a prospective graduate of the Computer Science department, this was not a challenge for him. Before long, two characters suddenly appeared in the chat dialog: Wangcheng

The wound was not treated in a timely manner and became infected, with bacteria spreading rapidly, leading to a series of septic symptoms. Importantly, Miss Cheng's situation is special, she ... ...

During that month, I spent most of my time circling around her, trying to persuade her with classic quotes from Qiong Yao. The remaining time was spent holding a notebook and writing. Well, the time spent writing was very little, until the editor collapsed in front of the screen

Alright, stop scheming against me. If it comes to it, I will just share the cost with you when we have hot pot in the future

It seems that she is thoroughly tired of her past life and feels that everything here is just right. Although she does not possess the garments that ordinary people can only dream of, there are those who are willing to groom her during her leisure time

May all those who have harmed her find no peace in their remaining days, and may that person regret not having the courage to express a single word of affection to her. How remarkable it is for her to run alone to a city devoid of our presence to heal her wounds

I do not know when it started, but my health has deteriorated significantly. In the past, when I went to KFC, I could finish a family bucket worth over 80 yuan by myself, but now I can only eat one worth around 50 yuan.

Therefore, he decided that if one is unattractive, one should read more books

Afterwards, Liu Dazhuang and He Yuan competed to see who could cook better food. I took the opportunity to pull Sheng Shan downstairs to get some ingredients. On the way, I asked her if He Yuan was one of the reasons she didn't want to return to Bincheng. The girl's long hair fell down, covering her eyes, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth seemed to deepen.

She, contrary to her usual tough demeanor, couldn't help but pout, and the clear tears shamefully slid down to her temples. "Who told Master to be biased? The best of everything is reserved for you."

The girl turned to the side, instinctively tugging at the fabric of the man's clothing, "What kind of illness does she have? Can a bacterial infection be serious enough to be life-threatening?"

The photo was taken in Sri Lanka. On that day, I wore a white veil, and the man standing behind me smiled with his eyes lowered, tying the most beautiful bow for me. Sheng Shan was beside me, unable to help but secretly document the moment. However, many things, until today, I only now realize, yet it is already too late to turn back.

With sincerity, once in a lifetime is enough. Life requires a steady flow.

Did I not ask you to keep an eye on it

"It is what you promised, Cheng Gaigai. You said that no matter what I want in the future, you would go through fire and water to bring it to me. Now, I want your heart. I want you to sincerely forgive me. If you cannot do that, how can it be my fault?"

The key point is that the owner of this seaside café, He Yuan, is the man who called her Tianshan Tonglao on the bus

Because he broke the potted plant that a little girl gave him, he was reprimanded. In order to seek forgiveness, he pulled on his own ears and obediently faced the wall to gain sympathy. ... It seems there was another time when, out of anger at his refusal to pay attention to her, he took a boat out to sea alone and was stranded in the boundless ocean. He and his parents managed to find him back.

She said that the reasoning is very appealing, but it is difficult for people to be heartless. Even after thousands of mental preparations, some people can crumble at the mere sight of someone.

Hey, look over there! Quick, look! How does that woman look so much like Sheng Shan!

I sighed, "Life is difficult, do not expose it."

After approximately half a minute, he could no longer hold back

That night, I was in a daze and couldn't sleep at all, feeling an increasing pain in the soles of my feet. The next morning, while packing my luggage, I felt lightheaded and dizzy, as if the soles of my feet had swollen up.

In the enduring heavy rain of my memories, I once shouted with all my might, "Is it truly in your heart to destroy what little I hold dear?"

Shouldn't she be afraid of being found by us

In Wangcheng, He Yuan is considered a young man of good background, born into a decent family, with a particularly outgoing personality and a love for joking. One day, we gathered on the rooftop for a barbecue, and Liu Dazhuang, this peculiar character, who often fails his Chinese exams, went on to mock He Yuan, which I exposed.

Get lost

It turns out that he still remembers that Sheng Shan was the runner-up in Taekwondo and that she once studied under a master alongside Zhou Yin. Therefore, during the time I was writing, Liu Dazhuang, feeling extremely bored, insisted on becoming Sheng Shan's disciple.

I can understand, yet I remain hopeful, thus I stayed in Wangcheng for nearly a month, attempting to persuade her

This is that person's territory, what if we are discovered

How did your master teach you back in the day, that you could be captured so easily

Liu Dazhuang stood in a daze, his face reflecting a fearless acceptance of death, "I’m sorry, the matter she did not intend to tell you cannot be unraveled from my lips either"

Indeed! Customers can also provide feedback after the companionship ends! Comments like "not handsome enough" or "that one is very considerate"! Perhaps there are even people who have met and fallen in love because of our app. For instance, ever since she accompanied me, I have lost interest when others come to accompany me, so I always specify her every time

The gradually warming weather in the south sees the sunset lingering longer and longer. A vast expanse of orange and yellow envelops her radiant face, and her laughter resembles the leaves on the branches, rustling gently, shedding frost to reveal the vibrant tender green beneath. It leads to a moment when my original intention wavers

Even I have been left to you

As the smartphone market is in its nascent stage, could we also develop a mobile application specifically designed for companionship? Whether it is learning dance, martial arts, or losing weight, practicing alone often leads to a lack of patience. When you feel like giving up, simply take out your phone and press the "I want companionship" feature in the app, which will send a request to people nearby. If someone is feeling bored, they can accept the request, and the person who accepts will accompany the client for practice as per the agreement, with the price also stipulated in the app. This not only addresses the issue of what bored individuals should do, but also provides them with employment opportunities

I laugh at his foolishness, "In today's situation, how can it be changed by your individual efforts alone? You are overestimating yourself." Yet I know that he harbors guilt over everything in the past and is urgently seeking a way to find relief

Seeing Liu Dazhuang still somewhat fearful, Zhou Yin said again: "Rest assured. Although I cannot control that person, it is still quite easy to seal off the news."

Hmm?

Some people's names serve as a valve that opens the floodgates of memory, causing me, who was originally disinterested and about to seek inspiration in dreams, to instantly return to my desk, trembling hands ready to click on the screenshot

How could it become my fault

In fact, that night, Cheng Gaigai overheard the conversation between Cheng Gaigai and Sheng Shan. Cheng Gaigai confidently stated that both she and Sheng Shan were moths, while He Yuan chuckled in the shadows

One year and six months. Cheng Gaigai, you actually took one year and six months to find me, what a disgrace to Ye Shenxun!

Liu Wei, you can think this way, I am truly moved. But --

He Yuan, thank you for taking me in that day. However, there is no need for souvenirs or anything like that

Cheng Gaigai was urgently sent back to Bincheng, landing at a private hospital under the Ye family, with the medical team also drawn from here. Liu Dazhuang followed closely, and upon seeing her enter the operating room, he anxiously called Zhou Yin.

Shengshan

But unfortunately, he could not become that cluster of fire. He could only watch as the shadow of the helicopter grew smaller and smaller, from then on, the mountains are high and the waters are long

I am not sure. But being with him is effortless

After a while, Liu Dazhuang, feeling downcast, handed me a Nongfu Spring bottle and said in a melancholic tone, "Cheng Gaigai, you have changed." I was taken aback, and he continued, "In the past, you used to curse in a very crude manner, but now you have learned to be more subtle, even using such complex words!"

Indeed, just by looking at the appearance, I would rather believe that there is someone in the world who is a hundred percent similar to Sheng Shan, than to acknowledge that this is the girl I have been longing to find for over a year. However, the passerby who took the photo added a caption. He said: "Funny, this girl on the bus was teased as the Tianshan Child Aunt, and she rolled her eyes in response, 'Aren't you going to give your grandmother a seat?' Completely exuding the aura of a big sister.

As soon as he boarded the plane, he pretended to be cultured and took out a thick volume of classical poetry to read.

He turned back amidst the chaotic flowers, his voice colder than the rain

He wanted me to surrender, warned me that Wei Guangyin would never return, and hoped that I would start a new life. But I only asked one question, and that person, who had always been incisive, had nothing to say

The wind howled around the propeller, and He Yuan's hair tips danced in the breeze. Under the azure sea and clear sky, her smile as she turned resembled a rainbow, her skirt billowing as she ran towards the man in white in the distance

The young boy paused for a moment and continued speaking

My father said that in the future I must inherit the family business, and this is the price I must pay as the son of a newly wealthy family, so I can only give up my dream of becoming a programmer

Indeed, some words hold great truth, yet they are devoid of compassion. You knew from the beginning that there would be no outcome with Zhou Yin, yet you still fell in love without hesitation; this is precisely why we can be friends. Because deep down, we are both moths, and how could one kind despise another?

This brief incantation caused my head to ache even more, leaving me no choice but to tightly clutch the still-warm shawl, rendered speechless

Sheng Shan issued an order for me to go to the coffee shop to fetch saline solution for him to disinfect, "to avoid infection"

The scenery outside the window receded in stages, and Zhou Yin hung up the phone, pulling off his headphones. After a long while, he relaxed his grip on the steering wheel and suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

About half an hour later, the crowd near the café was bustling. Sheng Shan leaned forward to look down, but it was not a doctor who arrived. Instead, he saw two rows of people in black standing at the entrance, with a helicopter hovering above, coming closer. The wind and sound from the rotor blades drowned out the vast ocean, creating a terrifying spectacle.

She stubbornly replied, "No, I just feel that being defeated by a rookie would tarnish my reputation if it got out." I was filled with resentment, and then she suddenly showed mercy and said she would treat us to a grand meal, considering it a farewell.

Recalling the moment of parting, the sorrowful gaze of He Yuan made Sheng Shan feel a sense of guilt

"Sheng Shan, return to Bincheng with me"

At last, the thought of letting go took root in my heart, and Sheng Shan seemed to pierce through, saying, "You can leave, but leave some money behind."

If I remember correctly, "Chai Tou Feng" depicts the tragic love story of Lu You's life

Liu Dazhuang's dream profession is that of a programmer. He is fond of Gu Long's "The Wandering Son of the Border Town," and thus aspires to become a wandering programmer. Unfortunately, he has yet to become a programmer, and even being a wanderer proves to be a challenge for him. Consequently, his mind is constantly occupied with thoughts of how to take revenge on those who are successful, talented, and exceptionally beautiful.

Two people do not quarrel and do not know each other, but later they often encounter each other on the same bus. He Yuan is attracted to her and takes the initiative to start a conversation, which leads to Miss Sheng's first job in life as a coffee shop employee

A few days before returning to Bincheng, in addition to rushing my manuscript, I also became Liu Dazhuang's sparring partner

I felt melancholic, yet I still understood him to some extent. Today was his last opportunity to challenge Sheng Shan; tomorrow, we would return to Bin City. Liu Dazhuang hoped that she would show mercy and perhaps allow him to take a shortcut. However, such shortcuts were something I had never even seen with Sheng Shan, and as a result, it was only natural that he was easily defeated.

Liu Dazhuang, originally named Liu Wei. Male, twenty-two years old. ... IQ ... ... appearance. ... ... ... academic performance ... . ... Well, only his height can be considered somewhat commendable

During this time, the personal nurse came out to report the situation. Sheng Shan leaned beside Zhou Yin, observing his furrowed brows, and succinctly interrupted, "She must live."

Liu Dazhuang picked up a skewer of chicken wings and was about to duel with me, while He Yuan placed the grilled beef into a plate held by Sheng Shan, smiling, "Oh? Well, at least I had an essay in high school that received praise from the district chief."

It is evident that Sheng Shan is very distressed

Upon learning that I am a writer, He Yuan expressed that I should not be the one pulling the luggage at the airport; rather, it should be him. This is because he has always struggled with writing since childhood and particularly envies those children who possess literary talent

I understand that you are unwilling to let Liu Dazhuang go, because once danger truly arises, no one will show mercy

So, Sheng Shan, come back with me. In the eyes of the world, you will always be that rare and precious gem.

Then why do you expect me to appear again

However, after some consideration, I believe I should learn from you and develop some personal interests and hobbies; otherwise, life would be too dull

At this point, I recalled something, paused for a moment and smiled, saying, "Do you know, Sheng Shan? One year and six months ago, Zhou Yin also advised me with the same words." The girl's pupils suddenly darkened

As soon as he arrives, I know that you will leave

Come on, you men are all about appearances. Even if you had known earlier that I am a writer, you still wouldn't have taken me away

Have you not considered how we should find her

This roar comes from me, I detest it when others ask me to repay money! And then, there is nothing more to say

I did not say anything further. Sheng Shan's expression stiffened, and after a moment of contemplation, he quickly returned to normal, letting out a long sigh in the whispering night breeze

Although it is unclear what has transpired in Bincheng over the past year, it is likely that it has not been entirely peaceful. I have long stated that there are certain individuals in this world who are inherently harmful yet remain oblivious to it, with Wei Guangyin being the most typical example. Regardless of the past, no matter how many lonely moments he has waited with you, what he has taught you, or what he has given you, it is essential to change. What truly matters is tomorrow. If you are destined to have no tomorrow, what difference is there between that and a moth flying into the flame, seeking its own destruction.

Before anyone could ask anything further, a seemingly leading bodyguard in black had already rushed up to the second floor, instructing the two men behind him to carry Cheng Gaigai away. Sheng Shan instinctively tried to stop them and engaged in a scuffle with the leading man

A long time ago, I often spent time with the uncultured Liu Dazhuang, and my language was naturally crude. Until later, a boy brought by the passage of time taught me to write my own name, read profound and difficult letters to me, accompanied me in acting, helped me teach a lesson to the rough and burly Liu Dazhuang, and when he left, he gifted me a piece of the maze that could guide my direction

Oh God, I actually have no appetite, what is wrong with me

I looked up, staring at his colorful face, and exclaimed, "Is it possible that... the mental illness certificate has been issued?"

One can imagine that the once extravagant young lady, who often had dozens of cards in hand, now has to rely solely on cash to conceal her whereabouts. Unfortunately, she has not completed her studies; no matter how outstanding she is, without a diploma, no major company is willing to hire her, which is why she has ended up working part-time at this café

Watching the neon lights slowly rise in the cold air, my heart inexplicably sank, recalling a late night six months ago when this tall young man, standing at 1.8 meters, collapsed in my lap, saying, "I'm sorry, I should have changed my mind. If I hadn't acted impulsively back then... it wouldn't have led to today's situation"

On a winter evening, with the sea breeze biting cold, when Liu Dazhuang and I arrived, there were no guests at all. Looking up, I saw a pair of slender legs casually draped over a lounge chair by the dimly lit floor-to-ceiling window

If you don't submit your work soon, I won't send you the blade. Can I commit suicide?

The tone shifted dramatically, with Sheng Shan expressing frustration as if saying, "Are we still going to fight or not?"

What did I say? You think I'm beautiful, right? You want to flirt, don't you? I'm not that kind of principle-less beauty! Unfortunately, I have a principle-less Liu Dazhuang by my side, who sees an opportunity and wants to use my looks to gain assistance. "Listening to your accent, you must be a local? We are both new to Wangcheng and don't have any friends or relatives here. We are not sure which area is more convenient to live in. It would be best to find a place with a lot of foot traffic and dense information."

He went to buy water, leaving me to wait in line for a taxi in the damp and cold air of the South. Clearly, this was not a good decision; the evening flight was crowded and chaotic, and I remained immersed in the joy and anxiety of soon reuniting with Sheng Shan, my attention scattered.

Sigh

After listening, I became unsettled, "Since it was so hard, why not come back earlier?!" She rolled her eyes, "It was my decision to leave back then, now to run back on my own, how could I face myself?"

You merely want to hear the words, "The person who helped me is Wei Guangyin"

On the trellis facing the sea, I suddenly felt an unbearable headache, probably due to the long journey overnight and the prolonged exposure to the wind

On the day when Sheng Shan was photographed, a typhoon was passing through Wangcheng, making it extremely cold. Since the clothes he was wearing were not particularly thick, he had no choice but to casually pick up a piece from a street vendor, which led to him being teased as the "Tianshan Child Aunt".

In a moment of sudden inspiration, I called out to her, my tone gentle, "Sheng Shan, who is really helping you?"

Because there is no money, it has become flashy

My dreams were shattered, and in a fit of rage, I punched and kicked her from behind. Liu Dazhuang, that sycophant, pointed with his long finger and said, "Master, she is up to something."

Isn't it often said? Those who are close to vermilion become red, and those who are close to ink become black

In the past, she inflicted wounds on others while pretending to be heartless, with He Yuan being no exception. She used him to heal her own lows, secretly waiting for Zhou Yin to appear and extend a hand to her

In 2011, the Weibo public platform was just gaining popularity, and I had also garnered a few small fans due to some writings I had published in magazines

As I got closer, the strong smell of paint from the wall filled my nostrils, making Sheng Shan feel suffocated, even causing her memories to become fragmented. After a moment, I sensed someone coming upstairs, and then my back relaxed, the restraint was lifted

... ... No problem

Isn't she escaping from Bincheng with a heart full of wounds and scars

You are so talented! Just right, I am studying computer science. We can start a business together, establish a company, expand our operations, and become the young talents in the eyes of others, thus embarking on the peak of our lives

Let me accompany you

However, Sheng Shan still rejected me

You have broken your promise to me, how can this be my fault

Fortunately, our luggage was not lost; rather, it was mistakenly taken by the person in line ahead of me. It was only after getting into the taxi that I realized something was amiss, and I returned to return it.

Although they look very similar, who is Sheng Shan? She is the illustrious Miss Sheng from the Sheng family, a proud young lady whose hairstyle must remain impeccable even at the cost of her life, and the fashion queen who attends the Victoria's Secret show every year. How could she be such an aesthetic killer

He was in love with his wife, but his mother forced him to divorce her, even citing the "Book of Rites" as justification: "If a son is fond of his wife, but his parents are displeased, he must leave her." Lu You did not want to bear the shame of being unfilial, so he had no choice but to comply, which led to the creation of that famous line that has resonated through the ages

I am very clear about this, let's change it. The best times have passed, and you are heartbroken. Yet here I am, still unable to do anything, only able to take his place and protect you

The sweet stevia fragrance on her body was not overshadowed by the salty and fishy sea water, stimulating my sense of smell and reminding me of the days we lived together, oh no, the days we shared the same room

What she means to say is that finding a job is quite difficult

Hey, we agreed to start a company together, didn't we? A partner who is so indecisive cannot be trusted

You see, you were also initially not liked by his family...

However, most of the time, my Weibo is merely for show. Whenever someone leaves a message asking why I don't update my status, I silently respond in my heart: I have no choice; I must maintain the mysterious fairy image in your minds. Because I fear that once I speak, I will become a clown, and that would not be beautiful. As an idol, how can I be without burdens?

It is said that she did not intend to stop in Wangcheng, originally planning to travel around the world, but upon reaching Wangcheng, her wallet was already empty. "Had I known, I would have taken more cash when I left; it turns out that wandering the world is so difficult"

What I did not say is that if this person is not him, then I have no expectations

He insisted on choosing the seaside for the competition, claiming that the area was vast and sparsely populated. However, this is not a tourist spot; the sand is untreated and not fine enough. He fell down, hitting the corner of his eye against a stone, which pierced his flesh, and a stream of blood flowed down along his cheekbone, causing him to grimace in pain

Not a human

Everything in Bincheng is both familiar and unfamiliar to Sheng Shan

The editor, perhaps fearing that I would give up entirely, restrained the impulse to send me razor blades before the submission deadline, instantly changing their expression, "Well then, let the baby first scroll through Weibo to relax a bit."

Thus, I replied with the excuse, "My mental state is not very good"

Through the screen, I stared intently at those pair of shiny black eyes, and after a long while, I finally replied, "Can you find out where the photo was taken?"

Sheng Shan could not sit still, "Hmm, yes, a total of two sentences. One is to cheer you on, and the other is, Dad supports you."

In the interplay of light and shadow, he once solemnly promised me, "You must wait, wait for a certain person in the future who will bring you the love you are owed"

To get back to the point, both Liu Dazhuang and I had placed our cash and bank cards into our carry-on luggage. Therefore, before we arrived, we were both full of confidence and carried ourselves with the high demeanor of VIP guests. At this moment, however, we found ourselves in a disheveled state, seeking assistance from airport staff to make an announcement for our luggage.

Due to Sheng Shan's powerful kick, as Liu Dazhuang struggled to get up, blood suddenly oozed around his eyes

Liu Dazhuang's tense expression finally dissipated, appearing carefree despite having bled.

She is still the same as before, always possessing the ability to twist others' words with just a few remarks

Not difficult, perhaps it is because of a lack of effort

Well, wait, that's not right. From the sound of it, she seems to have anticipated and foreseen my arrival.

The young man seemed somewhat embarrassed for having mistakenly taken our luggage. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Follow me."

He erupted, "This statement is just like you shouting all day about wanting to lose weight! I've said it a thousand times!"

Emma, is he indirectly praising my looks? I feel a subtle excitement within, but Liu Dazhuang has a face that says, "You might as well take the girl away, it wouldn't matter anyway." So, as usual, we are at each other's throats every moment.

He Yuan looked at the two people who were at odds with each other and reached out to intervene, saying, "You two, do not let your emotions get the better of you."

A gust of wind arrives, and the waves crash even more violently; I close my eyes and listen.

He has indeed seen me, in Sheng Shan's mobile phone

Initially, your parents and Zhou Yin searched through the entry and exit records, but they were unable to find any information about you. Ye Shenxun said that there must be someone powerful helping you from behind; otherwise, it would be impossible for you to disappear so completely. I think there are only a few people around you who can help...

Liu Dazhuang's rare seriousness fills me with deep emotion. Looking back on the past, what I have lost and what I have gained are actually proportional. I do not blame the hands of time for leaving life in disarray; I am simply grateful that as my youth comes to an end, I am not alone.

In a moment of panic, I ran away without my slippers, feeling as if I were oblivious to the sharp stones piercing my feet. It was only upon returning the same way that I realized my soles were aching dully.

Even though I am armed as solidly as a fortress, I cannot eliminate the fact that there are always treacherous ministers around me who wish to harm me, and Liu Dazhuang is one of the foremost among them

It is truly unfortunate for the son of a nouveau riche
