"Meow!"

Taiwan Novel Network →🆃🆆🅺♦🅽.🅲♦🅼

'Yes, that's what I did at the time, bang bang bang, and then swoosh! '

'...I knocked down the monitor that was still glowing red! '

Xia Li waited at the door of the guesthouse for ten minutes, and Qin Chuan packed up and was going downstairs.

Behind him, a black and white cow cat followed him.

The cow cat screamed and threw a series of punches at the air in a panic.

"Meow meow meow meow!"

"Great."

Qin Chuan nodded in praise.

"Can you understand?"

Xia Li stared at the man and the cat and wondered.

"I don't understand," Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "but we added WeChat before, and he just sent me a message, so I know what he is talking about."

Qin Chuan was wearing a dark green hoodie and a pair of dark jeans.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked down the stairs step by step. His expression was still a little solemn, but his eyes were no longer empty and looked a little more energetic.

Qin Chuan's figure was similar to Xia Li's. The two were only two or three years apart in age, but Qin Chuan had lived in the other world for more than 20 years after all. Counting his age on Earth, he was more than 40 years old in total.

In addition to his tens of thousands of death experiences, the expression between his eyebrows and eyes was not as youthful as Xia Li's. Although he was not very decadent, he looked much more vicissitudes.

However...

A man is a teenager until his death.

Qin Chuan looked like a weathered teenager at most.

"I also watched the popular video on the Internet."

Xia Li looked at the cow cat at his feet and praised it generously.

"Well done, Wuqi."

"Meow~!"

'Humph, that's natural, don't you see who I am! '

'As a qualified assistant, I am still very good at observing the environment and handling the aftermath! '

After being praised by Xia Li, Wuqi's tail stood up, and he walked with an elegant cat step, with a proud look on his face.

It's a pity that the cat Lizhi behind his butt had been removed long ago, otherwise the post this morning would have been even more popular.

Taking out his mobile phone and looking at the map, Xia Li walked in front to lead the way.

He didn't drive today, and planned to take Qin Chuan to the surrounding area first.

Among the three time travelers present, one was from Jiangsu Province and the other was from Chongqing Province, and only Xia Li himself was a local.

"Let's go buy some daily necessities first, and pick two pieces of underwear, at least one more set of clothes to change."

Xia Li planned as he walked.

"Okay." Qin Chuan expressed no objection and walked quietly behind him.

This scene reminded Xia Li of when Lucia first came to Earth.

At that time, he also led the way in front, followed by a dragon girl who had never seen the world.

The dragon girl opened her mouth wide throughout the whole process, either because she was shocked by the surrounding buildings or because she had questions in her mind and wanted to find Xia Li to answer them.

But Qin Chuan is a modern person, and the culture of Shu Province and Chongqing Province is not much different. Compared with the dragon girl who came to the city for the first time, he was much calmer.

"Have you eaten?" Xia Li remembered this and turned around to ask.

Qin Chuan replied: "I have eaten."

"What did you eat?"

"Meow!"

'Big steamed bun, and you gave me a piece! '

Wuqi answered first.

Qin Chuan didn't understand what Wuqi was talking about, but he probably guessed that the other party answered the question for him, so he nodded subconsciously.

Xia Li didn't say much, and took the cat and the man to a chain supermarket not far away.

He wanted to do his best to entertain Qin Chuan and treat him to some good food, but considering the brother's self-esteem and fragile heart...

If Xia Li did this, it would put pressure on the other party, so he gave up.

Arriving at the supermarket, Xia Li went to buy the laundry detergent and eggs that Lucia had specifically requested this morning, and also brought some snacks that the dragon liked.

After paying the bill, Xia Li waited at the door, and Qin Chuan came out in a short while.

The cheap guesthouse did not provide disposable daily necessities, so Qin Chuan had to buy them himself.

He only spent ten yuan to buy daily necessities, and chose the cheapest toothbrush and towel. In the end, he took a bar of soap and said that it could be used to wash clothes and take a bath.

Really cruel.

Xia Li sighed silently in his heart.

Even during the poorest period of his college life, he had never been so tight.

During that time, it was Xia Li who insisted on not asking for the family's living expenses and had to do part-time work himself. As a result, it was difficult to find a part-time job, and he was exhausted like a dog... It was purely acting.

"Where are the pants?"

Xia Li saw Qin Chuan coming out with three things, and he didn't buy any underwear at all.

"The ones in the supermarket are expensive, go out and buy them." Qin Chuan said concisely.

Xia Li said nothing more, and took him to an old alley. The main thing here was cheap, and they were all some of the bottom of the box.

If you don't consider the style and comfort, as long as you want a piece of cloth to cover your body, this kind of clothes is undoubtedly the best choice.

As a boy, Qin Chuan had nothing to complain about. He came out in less than five minutes after entering the house, and he spent four minutes bargaining with the boss.

A top for thirty yuan, a pair of pants for twenty-five yuan, and finally five yuan to go to the store next door to buy shorts.

After much persuasion, the boss also thought that this young man must have encountered some difficulties, and gave Qin Chuan two pairs of boxer shorts at half price.

Xia Li stood at the door, and before she even took out her phone to look at it, Qin Chuan had already finished shopping and came out.

There was no shopping experience at all.

If it was Lucia, she would still be choosing a little skirt at this time, and then turn around and ask Xia Li if it looked good.

"Have you always lived like this before?"

It only took ten minutes to solve all the shopping problems. Xia Li had to be surprised at Qin Chuan's efficiency.

"Not really," Qin Chuan thought for a while and said.

"I slept in a bridge hole before, lying on a foam box. I didn't use a toothbrush to brush my teeth, but a stick picked from the roadside. I used river water to wash my face..."

"Okay, okay, don't say any more."

Xia Li felt so distressed.

The other party was a brave man who saved the world, right? How could his life be so bad after returning to society?

If it was Xia Li, I'm afraid his world-weariness would be more serious than Qin Chuan.

It's a pity that he could hold on for so long before using magic... If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to endure it.

Glancing at the people beside him, Xia Li's eyes fell on the center of the sweatshirt.

The night before yesterday, he saw with his own eyes that in the center of Qin Chuan's chest, the stone-like thing was shining.

This should be the source of Qin Chuan's power...

Hearing him say on the Internet that it was related to some "fate", Xia Li was very curious.

After pondering for a while, Xia Li decided to open this question.

And what happened to him on Earth, Xia Li was also ready to inquire about it.

Although doing so would expose Qin Chuan's scars, Xia Li really wanted to help him, so at least he had to know the general situation.

The other party's mental state was much better today, and Xia Li didn't beat around the bush.

"Let's go this way, I'll buy you a drink."

Turning a corner, Xia Li invited a man and a cat to cross the road.

Qin Chuan looked at him in confusion, didn't say much, and followed with his towel and toothbrush.

When talking about this kind of problem, it might be better to drink.

But considering Qin Chuan's dangerousness and the early morning, it was not suitable to drink alcohol, so Xia Li took Qin Chuan to a coffee shop.

"What to drink?"

"A cheap one is fine."

No, buddy, I'm going to be full of sympathy if you do this.

Xia Li ordered two identical coconut milk coffees and took a plastic cup lid to feed the cat.

This shop does not exclude bringing pets in, but pets are not allowed to sit on the stools, so Wu Qi could only sit on the floor and watch the two people chatting.

Xia Li pulled out the stool and sat down, putting the two cartoon stickers given for buying coffee in his pocket.

The stickers are really beautiful.

Take it back to show my wife.

When he looked up again, Xia Li saw Qin Chuan across the table looking at him seriously, and the cow cat under his feet raised its claws to scratch him.

"Meow."

'Brother, I'm telling you, he is like this... He must be missing his wife, and every time he misses his wife, his mouth will curl up like a fish. '

No, you have cat disease?

Xia Li glared at Wu Qi and pushed a cup of coffee out.

"Be careful not to burn your mouth. Let's drink slowly and chat for a while."

"Okay..." Qin Chuan seemed to have no idea about any of Xia Li's suggestions.

After a pause, he asked again.

"How long will we chat?"

"Anyway, there is nothing to do in the morning, so let's chat first," Xia Li tried not to make his tone have a strong purpose. He asked Qin Chuan, "Do you have anything to do today?"

"No," Qin Chuan shook his head, "but I want to find a job."

After all, the accommodation fee is 50 yuan every day, which makes Qin Chuan very stressed.

If possible, he actually wants to go to the Youth Travel Agency, which costs 20 yuan a night. He searched on the map and found that the Youth Travel Agency is located in a remote area, far away from Xia Li's home.

Considering that he is still in the state of "defeat and house arrest", Qin Chuan did not mention it.

"..."

Xia Li was choked.

He didn't want to delay Qin Chuan's time.

Xia Li was also very busy. He had to take the exam in a month. His classes were very full every day, and he had to find time to write novels at night.

Xia Li accelerated the progress and asked Qin Chuan directly.

"So... what happened after you came back to Earth?"

...

Qin Chuan was alienated from anyone on Earth, and this alienation made him feel distant from the people around him.

This sense of distance made him isolated, and he could never integrate into this society.

He could not speak heart-to-heart words, nor express his true feelings. He was numb and confused every day...

But today, when Xia Li asked him this.

For the first time, he did not choose to remain silent, but told Xia Li all his experiences after returning to Earth.

If it were not for Xia Li, he would not be sitting in a cafe like now and telling his story comfortably. Instead, he was in prison, facing electric batons or cold weapons, it was hard to say.

There is no doubt that Xia Li saved him once.

Moreover, there is another important reason...

Xia Li is also a "brave man".

Even though the two people traveled to different worlds, they could resonate with each other as heroes.

Starting from his family environment, to graduating from high school, signing a financial aid contract with his own hands... to traveling to another world, his parents searching for him for half a year, and then jumping into the river and dying... and then what happened after he came back.

Qin Chuan spoke these things very calmly.

His tone was so calm that it sounded like he was telling a story, not his own personal experience.

"Meow!"

'That's too much! '

The cow cat at his feet was originally going to sleep curled up, but after hearing what Qin Chuan said, even he was furious.

He spoke up for Qin Chuan!

'Three times the compensation? ! Why! ? '

'If it's just a small amount, three times is reasonable, but three times 120,000 is definitely not protected by law! ! '

Xia Li patiently told Qin Chuan what Wuqi said.

This is also what he cares about.

"The compensation is just one of the triggers..."

Qin Chuan smiled helplessly.

He also thought about pointing the finger at the company that had helped him.

But the biggest reason for his parents jumping into the river was Qin Chuan's sudden disappearance.

They couldn't bear the blow of losing their son.

Qin Chuan's parents raised Qin Chuan for 22 years. They watched their son graduate from college, and after all the hardships, he was about to leave the village and embark on the right track of life... But he disappeared without a trace.

Perhaps he was involved in a murder case, or perhaps he had a psychological illness. As parents, they did not notice any abnormalities in advance. After calling the police and searching again and again without results, they were left with countless regrets and tears.

Qin Chuan heard about what happened after that from his aunt.

The month when Qin Chuan's parents died, his relatives took the contract to the company to argue.

But the result was not satisfactory.

They were not right at all.

First, the company did not force Qin Chuan's parents to pay money. It was just that when they came to Qin Chuan's house, they told Qin Chuan's parents about the breach of contract compensation.

Second, Qin Chuan was already 18 years old when he signed the contract.

He signed the contract voluntarily after knowing all the risks. Regardless of whether the triple compensation written in the contract was reasonable, Qin Chuan did breach the contract first.

What's more...

Qin Chuan's parents never paid the company a penny until they died.

Even the company thought it was unlucky. After learning that Qin Chuan's parents had passed away, it did not make any entanglement.

When Qin Chuan's relatives took the death report and the contract to the company, they were even unwilling to open the door.

The other party did not want to make any response to this matter, and clearly stated that they were also the victim.

Later, the police were called, and the police mediated and it was over.

Whoever said it was right about this matter.

The biggest mistake was Qin Chuan's sudden disappearance.

After listening to this, Xia Li fell silent.

At this time, a question actually emerged in his mind.

He wanted to ask Qin Chuan: Traveling to the Zeda Continent and saving that world...Do you regret it?

But if this sentence is said, it will really be a beast.

Xia Li has seen this kind of trolley problem before.

This kind of question is a balance between responsibility and consequence, and it requires you to make the most extreme choice between the two options of selfishness and society...

If Xia Li faces this kind of question, he will only have one idea.

Can the person who asks this kind of question be tied to the railroad track first?

"Meow..."

Wu Qi lowered his head and wiped his cheek with his paw. He didn't know whether he was washing his face as usual or sand got into his eyes.

"What did he say?"

Qin Chuan couldn't understand Wu Qi's cat cry. He was very curious about what question Wu Qi asked.

"He didn't say anything."

Xia Li took a sip of coffee. He didn't say anything more.

As an outsider, Xia Li couldn't give any advice on this matter. The person involved could only decide for himself and then bear his decision.

Qin Chuan couldn't blame anyone. According to his personality, the only person he could blame was himself.

Presumably, for him... there was only endless regret and tears left.

"I've finished it. It's delicious. I'll treat you next time."

Qin Chuan said a lot of things. He felt thirsty. He drank the coffee in two gulps, put away the empty paper cup and put it in the trash can.

Qin Chuan rarely drinks this kind of bitter drink, but he found it surprisingly mellow... This is the best thing he has ever had since returning to Earth.

After saying that, he looked at Xia Li nervously.

This kind of behavior of treating each other only happens between friends on Earth, right?

Are he and Xia Li friends?

It should be.

Or is it the relationship between the loser and the winner?

Qin Chuan made an unwarranted association.

Xia Li, who was sitting opposite him, calmed down and stood up.

The atmosphere between the two people and the cat was a little depressing. Xia Li smiled easily and broke the silence.

"...If it were me, I would also want to destroy the world."

Xia Li was not joking when he said this.

He thought that if it happened to him, he would only do something more extreme than Qin Chuan.

So now Xia Li can completely understand Qin Chuan's approach.
