Chapter 94 Her Gift
Although he knew that the speed of time flowing inside and outside the space must be different, Qiao Yuan did not expect that when he stepped out, the time showed that it was almost noon. Looking out the window, he saw several police cars parked outside, and some parents took their children out of the kindergarten only after the police let them go.
Qiao Yuan didn’t see Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao downstairs, so he went down one more floor before he finally met them.
When they saw Qiao Yuan , Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao finally relaxed their tense expressions. When they heard the news that Wang Xiaoyang and He Ze were missing, they also helped to look for them, but soon they found that their children and Sheng Yegui were also missing.
Fortunately, just when the two were about to seek help from the police, Qiao Yuan and Sheng Yegui appeared again.
"Yuanyuan, where did you go just now?" Although they were anxious, Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao did not blame the children at the first time. Instead, they squatted down and looked at Qiao Yuan, and asked in a gentle voice where the two had gone just now.
There were less than three minutes left in the countdown. Sheng Yegui probably realized that Qiao Yuan and the other two still had something to say, so he did not step forward, but considerately left space for the three of them.
Qiao Yuan called the system in his heart: "Can we block the sound for three minutes like in the last instance?"
After realizing that live streaming has more or less affected the real world, Qiao Yuan doesn’t like to broadcast his private affairs live unless he has to.
The system's answer was still emotionless: [Player does not have this permission]
Qiao Yuan sighed regretfully in his heart: "It seems that it wasn't you who blocked the sound, so it must be Him?"
"Ah, but think about it, after all, there must be differences between you, and it depends on the life points I get..."
The system's cold voice sounded: [Provocation doesn't work on me, so you only have two minutes of blocking time]
Qiao Yuan: “I see.”
Her attention returned to the two people in front of her. She did not answer their questions, but instead said, "I later really entered the entertainment industry..."
Although she really wanted to complain about what the system said before about the sense of immersion, she had to admit that when she looked at Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao standing in front of her, she still felt a sense of closeness in her heart.
When she heard Sang Miao talking to Sheng Yegui before and mentioned that her dream in this copy was also to enter the entertainment industry, Qiao Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still told them. Even if they felt puzzled, it didn't matter, after all, she was about to leave the copy.
Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao did not show puzzled expressions as Qiao Yuan expected. Instead, they smiled at Qiao Yuan with relief: "That's great."
But soon Sang Miao thought of something and said seriously: "But you have to be careful."
Looking at the reactions of Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao, Qiao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned. After all, the other party's reactions didn't seem like they were coaxing a child, but rather showed their seriousness.
As if seeing through Qiao Yuan's doubts, Sang Miao said: "I can easily see a person's fate."
"Because you suddenly disappeared just now, I was anxious, so I looked again..."
Qiao Yuan looked at Sang Miao's pale face. She had thought that Sang Miao was nervous because of her disappearance, but now it seems that it was because he had to pay the price to check his fate.
But when she heard the word "again", she realized something.
This means that Sang Miao had seen it before...
Sure enough, Sang Miao continued, "Your fate is different from hers, but strangely, I know you are her, our daughter."
This she refers to is the original body.
Sang Miao realized that she was not their six-year-old daughter.
Some NPCs are indeed very smart. No wonder when I read posts before, some people were reminded by the system not to reveal their identities.
However, Qiao Yuan knew that now was not the time to be shocked. She wanted to know more about what Sang Miao saw in her fate that made her careful. Therefore, she no longer spent time on explanations and disguises, but asked anxiously.
Fortunately, Sang Miao answered her quickly.
According to Sang Miao, everyone's destiny in her eyes is composed of dots and lines. The dots represent important events that happen in a lifetime, and the lines represent the length of life.
Sang Miao had looked into the fate of some people before and knew that the fate of most people was actually a line with a visible end. Some lines were long, some were short, and they ran through countless points.
But just now, she saw Qiao Yuan's line. After passing a point, countless lines appeared. Some lines were very short, some were very long, and some lines extended so long that it was impossible to see where the end disappeared.
Qiao Yuan understood. In short, her life was affected by an important event. She might die soon because of it, or she might live a long life.
But there is no end in sight...
It can’t be eternal life, right?
The person who lived the longest was what Qiao Yuan had seen, and it was in a marketing account.
She really wanted to ask what this important event was. Could it be referring to this nightmare game? But unfortunately, Sang Miao was unable to see the specific content of this matter and could only remind Qiao Yuan to be careful.
Because they knew that the person in front of them was their child after all, Sang Miao and Qiao Buyan considerately did not ask where the other party came from, but their eyes were full of worry when they looked at Qiao Yuan.
However, Qiao Yuan figured it out quickly. She had to go through a dungeon every once in a while and had become accustomed to the feeling of hovering on the line between life and death. She even went on to comfort Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao.
She wanted to ask Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao why they chose to keep her and leave, whether it was related to this, but she also knew that the two people in front of her were not the parents she had already chosen.
The system countdown of the last few seconds sounded in my ears. After it reached zero, a familiar voice said: [Congratulations to the player for completing the task]
[About to leave the dungeon...]
Everything around them suddenly became quiet, and the smiles on Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao's faces were also frozen.
Qiao Yuan's gaze fell on the two of them. He pulled his hand out of Sang Miao's and slowly stepped back. The warmth in his hand gradually faded away.
At this moment, Sheng Yegui's voice rang in Qiao Yuan's ears.
Sheng Yegui also heard the system's voice. When he found that everything except him and Qiao Yuan was frozen, he knew that Qiao Yuan should have finished talking to his parents, so he walked over here: "We are going back to the real world."
But his voice didn't sound very happy.
After all, when returning to the real world, Sheng Guiye's personality will prevail, but he does not want to leave Qiao Yuan.
Sheng Yegui: "After returning to the real world, he usually doesn't let me out..."
Qiao Yuan's attention was slightly drawn back by Sheng Yegui's words: "Yeah."
She felt that she could understand it. After all, Sheng Guiye was probably afraid that he might be in a meeting at the company one second, and then the company changed hands the next, and he would be cooking in the kitchen. It would be hard for anyone to accept this.
Sheng Yegui: "But I will definitely try my best to find you."
Qiao Yuan: “Hmm… hm?”
“…Isn’t that necessary?”
She really doesn't have the energy or mood to be responsible for Sheng Yegui!
Sheng Yegui looked at Qiao Yuan doubtfully, as if she had said something strange: "I am already yours, so naturally I have to follow you."
And Sheng Yegui's words that he wanted her to be responsible were obviously not just simple talk. He had already planned a life where Qiao Yuan would take care of the outside affairs while he would take care of the inside affairs.
Listening to Sheng Yegui's plan, there was only one thing left in Qiao Yuan's mind -
We must not let Sheng Guiye release Sheng Yegui again, otherwise it will seem like we can't get rid of him.
After all, unlike the evil god, she and Sheng Yegui are both from the real world.
Qiao Yuan was the first person to be teleported away. Until before she was teleported, she could see the reluctance in Sheng Yegui's eyes.
However, as he left the copy and saw the familiar hotel ceiling in front of him, Qiao Yuan temporarily put Sheng Yegui behind him and habitually glanced at the current time.
Because the time in the copy is short, in the real world, less than half an hour has passed since Qiao Yuan entered the copy, so there is still more than half an hour left for rest, which is much better than Qiao Yuan imagined.
Song Yanchi sent a lot of messages during this period. When he saw that a staff member of the hotel where he stayed was also a fan of Qiao Yuan and they had a lot in common, Qiao Yuan remembered that before he entered the dungeon, a staff member knocked on the door and said someone was delivering something. However, because Qiao Yuan was already in the preparation stage of entering the dungeon, he asked the other party to put it at the door first.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan quickly got out of bed and opened the door to check the situation.
The entire hotel has been booked by the crew. Because of the heavy filming schedule yesterday, everyone basically rested that day. The corridor was quiet. A white box was placed at the door of Qiao Yuan's room, wrapped with a lace ribbon, and it was unclear what was inside. There was a card hanging on it, which read "For Qiao Yuan". The font was obviously printed by a printer.
But what caught Qiao Yuan's attention was the signature:
Sent on behalf of Lu Zhi.
Qiao Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly.
Lu Zhi.
That was the child of Teacher Lu who adopted her. They were of similar age and grew up together. The other was like her brother.
However, Lu Zhi had died a long time ago, she had confirmed it once, and Teacher Lu died soon after because she could not bear the blow. Teacher Lu did not often interact with relatives, so these relatives only knew that she adopted a child, but did not know that it was Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan had not even told Sister Jiang about the matter between Teacher Lu and Lu Zhi, let alone mentioned it on the show, so she wondered who sent the box.
I have to say, it was just as the staff said, after seeing the box, she would definitely accept it.
Qiao Yuan no longer hesitated and opened the box with doubts.
What caught my eye was a bouquet of black flowers.
Qiao Yuan took the phone and turned on the photo recognition function: "It turns out it really is a rose."
At first glance she thought it looked like a rose, but because it was the first time she saw a pure black one, she was not sure.
However, even the search engine said that this was a rose, so Qiao Yuan finally determined the variety of the flower and started searching for its language.
There was no card on the flowers, but people nowadays are accustomed to expressing certain emotions by sending flowers, so there are detailed explanations on the Internet.
Qiao Yuan: "...eternal hatred?"
When seeing Hua Yu, Qiao Yuan's first reaction was that she was a hater. If the other party could investigate Lu Zhi's existence, it would not be surprising to find out that she was in this hotel.
But compared to the gifts sent by the haters before, just a bouquet of flowers was a bit too mild. Moreover, she found that pure black flowers were very rare, and the roses in front of her were not fake flowers, so it would take a lot of effort to find them. There was no name of the flower shop on the wrapping paper, so it looked more like she had wrapped them by herself. He was willing to work hard just to find flowers for her, and even wrapped them himself. Qiao Yuan could no longer tell whether this was love or hate.
Most importantly, why replace Lu Zhi?
There was nothing between her and Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi's death had nothing to do with her.
Moreover, Lu Zhi has been dead for several years, and the other party is only coming to send him off now. It seems that his relationship with Lu Zhi is not very good.
Qiao Yuan first went downstairs to the hotel front desk, found the staff member who delivered the box, and asked who delivered the box.
The other party only remembered that he was an ordinary-looking young man, and even retrieved the front desk surveillance for Qiao Yuan to see.
That was indeed a person who could not be found even if thrown into a crowd. Looking at the unfamiliar face, she was sure that she had never seen him before.
However, Qiao Yuan noticed that the man's occasional glances at the box also revealed confusion, and it was obvious that he didn't know what was in the box.
Qiao Yuan guessed that he was hired to deliver the boxes.
Seeing Qiao Yuan go downstairs to check the surveillance, the hotel staff couldn't help but get nervous: "Ms. Qiao, is this a threatening gift? Should we call the police?"
Qiao Yuan shook his head, knowing that it was useless to call the police. After all, this was not as bloody and threatening as before. It was just a bouquet of flowers.
She took note of the appearance of the person hired to deliver the gift and turned back to her room.
Qiao Yuan remembered that she had one condition that had not been fulfilled. She wanted to ask the system to check it for her, but the system coldly stated that it could only be used in the copy.
Qiao Yuan: "...Forget it, I'll just post on Weibo."
Even the system couldn't help but feel curious: [What is the principle behind this? ]
Qiao Yuan: "Let's see if we can force the other party out through social death."
She felt that since the other party had investigated her, there was a high probability that he would follow her Weibo. If she asked Song Yanchi to forward it, the possibility of the other party seeing it would be even higher.
The system landed on the Weibo page that Qiao Yuan was editing.
Thank you to the fans Black Rose for sending flowers [heart]
system:【……】
Qiao Yuan actually used Black Rose as the other party's nickname!
