Chapter 205
Chapter 209: I Have Long Been Used To Wandering And Not Being Dignified (14)
At this time, it has been two years since Chao Ci got on the bus from City A to YN Province.
The time line was distorted, and the tragedy that the whole car fell off the winding mountain road did not happen.
So in the current time line, it was Chao Ci who came to L city safely. After he stayed for two months, he went to other cities. After two years, he came to a famous tourist destination in H city, Z province, here. Booked a homestay.
This is his fourth month living here.
At this time, less than a month has passed since the beginning of the year, on the 28th of the first month of the lunar calendar.
Chao Ci rarely stayed in one place for more than three months. Now he has been here for so long because he has been hesitating about one thing.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. In the past two years, he has traveled all over the world, and it is not hard work. After all, he has money and no burden. He just eats, drinks, and travels through great mountains and rivers. He also met many friends along the way… It can be said that It was an extremely easy two years.
However, he also had no contact with his uncle’s house for two years. The day before he left, he sent a letter to his uncle’s house in City A, telling them that he would be away for a while, so don’t worry, and the letter would be delivered to his uncle’s house three days after it was sent. If it wasn’t for this, if he suddenly disappeared for two years, it is estimated that his uncle’s family would feel that he was dead.
Chao Ci has planned for his departure for a long time, and basically he has made no mistakes, so that he can leave without a trace, and he has explained everything that should be explained, and everything that should be arranged has been arranged. But he has indeed been gone for too long. He doesn’t know if his cousin is married, how his cousin is doing, or how his uncle and aunt’s health are… In the past two years, he has not even visited his parents’ graves.
Therefore, he was supposed to leave H City at the end of the year, but he stopped.
Z province borders his hometown F province, and he has only been able to move around in this area recently, and it will be dangerous if he gets closer. Before coming to H province, he traveled inland or the north. It was only because two years had passed and he felt that the risk should be gone, so he dared to come to H city.
According to the original plan, when he left City H, it was time to set off for the inland. It’s just that, when he was about to leave during the New Year’s Day, he suddenly thought that this was the third New Year he didn’t spend with his uncle. One month after the new year, it will be Qingming.
Perhaps… after two years, Xu Zhan should have already ignored him.
Hesitating like this, he stayed in City H for another month. Now, Qingming is only a few days away.
[“Chao Ci” is hesitating, what are you going to do? 】The system asks the court speech.
Now, it has only been more than half an hour since they returned to this world again. Chao Ci basked in the sun for half an hour on the edge of the yard, and then returned to the house with the book.
The “Chao Ci” that the system said was also the “Chao Ci” before that.
All the worlds are real, including everyone in it, except for the “Chao Ci” played by Chao Ci.
They are the most special beings.
Because they should not exist.
They should have existed, but because of some space-time deviations, they were not born, or were “swallowed” by time. It sounds a bit mysterious. Even if people who are swallowed by time have lived for decades at the beginning, after being swallowed, it means that they have never been born. No one can prove their existence, and nothing can record their disappearance. Time swallowing them is not man-made, it is just an error that occurs because of the instability of time and space.
Some people who are swallowed are very important and will affect the progress of the whole world, so they need to be played by people from the fast-traveling tribe.
So, they didn’t exist from the beginning, and they only existed when the fast wearers played them. And before the arrival of the fast wearers – if the fast wearers played the twenty-year-olds, then they did not exist before the twenty-year-olds. However, the hero has done some tricks in the time of these worlds, and implanted some illusions, some illusions that are almost indistinguishable from the real, so that these people seem to exist.
They are arguably the embodiment of the rules of time, and everything they experience is real, except that they have no soul.
In the two years since Chao Ci died on the bus to his return, there was a similar existence in place of action. The difference is that one is moved by the hands and feet of the main world, and the other is moved by the hands and feet of the world itself.
Of course, it can be clearly seen from here that the people played by Chao Ci are random. They shouldn’t all be called “Chao Ci”. This name is also a small modification made by the main world. Other fast wearers do not have this treatment. The system heard that it seems that Chaoci insisted.
A name that never changes. I heard that Chaoci paid a lot of money for this.
The system was a little puzzled, but didn’t think too much about it. Maybe Chao Ci came from a race that was very fond of names.
[He just hesitated. With his cautious personality, there is a high probability that he will not go back this year. 】 Chao Ci said.
He actually quite likes the “Chao Ci” in this world. Time has annihilated such a person, so that he was never born, which is a pity.
His birth and experience are no different from ordinary people, except for an excessively good-looking face, as well as the experience of losing his father and mother at a young age. But his thoughts were too thorough. Even if he claims to be lazy and greedy for money, these are just his appearances to deceive others and deceive himself.
The real him is a sufficiently ruthless, indifferent, and gentle person.
He is very similar to Chao Ci. The difference is that the arrival of the court speech at this stage was caused by too many experiences. And he was born that way.
[Then let’s not go back and continue to go to X province according to “his” plan? 】The system asked hesitantly.
【Go back! Why don’t we go back? 】 Chao Ci asked strangely.
【? 】The system didn’t understand the meaning of Chao Ci all of a sudden.
[According to his character, he will wait until next year to relax his vigilance as soon as possible. I don’t plan to spend another year. He thought that it would take him three or four years to wear off Xu Zhan’s interest in him, but we know that Xu Zhan cares about me so much that I have influenced the world and forced it to change the time. This is not an ordinary care, even if I hide No matter how long it takes, it can’t be forgotten – let alone I don’t need to hide. 】
Didn’t he just want to meet Xu Zhan earlier, and then quickly stop thinking about that guy.
After the system was silent for a while, it asked another question: [Then what are you going to do in this world? 】
[Xu Zhan has no deep hatred with ‘me’, and it is estimated that those methods in the past will not work. I’ll just concentrate on playing this “Chao Ci”. 】 Chao Ci said with a smile.
Xu Zhan really didn’t feel sorry for him. From the beginning to the end, they are the relationship between the gold master and the little white face. If there is anything wrong, that is, he threatened Chao Ci with his studies and his uncle’s job at the beginning. It can be said that Xu Zhan’s actions are inauthentic, but…it doesn’t involve much emotion.
The targets of those previous strategies were either emotional liars or emotional robbers, and the punishment was simple. And Xu Zhan can only be said to be a qualified gold owner.
Then let him know that Chao Ci only regards him as the gold master.
After thinking about it, Chao Ci casually packed his luggage and was ready to go back to his hometown.
Although he felt that Xu Zhan should not care much about him, Chao Ci did not make much fanfare. He still took a long-distance bus back to Province F, without even calling his uncle in advance.
In the past two years, he has not called his uncle at all, because he is afraid that his uncle’s phone will be monitored by Xu Zhan.
On the morning of April 3, Chen Jianmin’s door was knocked.
Who came back early in the morning?
Chen Jianmin opened the door with some doubts. Behind the door stood a young man pushing a suitcase, carrying a travel bag, and smiling at him with bent eyes.
Chen Jianmin was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had hallucinations before finally confirming after watching it for a while, and he was very pleasantly surprised: “Xiao Ci!”
“Hey, uncle!” Chao Ci replied with a smile.
“You kid, you know you’re back!” Chen Jianmin said, and hurriedly took Chaoci’s hand and took him inside, “Come in, it’s cold outside!”
Chao Ci politely asked Chen Jianmin to bring him in. Chen Jianmin closed the door and surrounded the warmth of the room.
“Xiaoyan, come here, look who’s here!” He shouted towards the kitchen, and then knocked on the other two rooms, “You two don’t sleep, get up, Xiaoci is back!”
The “Xiaoyan” in Chen Jianmin’s mouth is his wife, Chaoci’s aunt, Zhao Xiaoyan.
At this time, she was still preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and when she heard Chen Jianmin shouting like this, she quickly put down the pot and spoon in her hand, and hurried to the living room.
She saw Chao Ci at the corner, and her tears almost fell: “Xiao Ci is back!”
Chen Yuhao and Chen Yuxuan, who usually stayed in bed until eleven or twelve on weekends, heard Chen Jianmin saying that the court was coming, and they quickly opened the door and ran out. Chen Yuxuan was also wearing a little yellow chicken plush pajamas.
For a time, everyone gathered around Chao Ci. They sat on the sofa and asked where Chao Ci was going. After all these years, Chao Ci answered them one by one and asked them how they were doing…
…
“Why did you suddenly leave without saying a word, if it wasn’t for that letter, we would have thought you were missing!” Chen Yuxuan asked.
Chaoci scratched his head and said, “It’s a long story. It’s like this, there is a rich and powerful woman who has a crush on your brother and me, and she insists on taking care of me, so I ran away. ”
For a while, everyone didn’t know if he was joking or not, Chen Yuhao couldn’t help laughing and said, “If you have a rich woman to take care of you, it’s better if you don’t!”
“Then how can you say that. That rich woman is very fierce, but she’s not easy to get along with, and she’s in her fifties and her face is full of flesh, how can I do it! Besides, when she wants to take care of me, she has to marry someone for a second time. I Can I still be a male junior? Of course I’m going to run away!” Chao Ci said with seriousness, gesturing with his hands and feet as he spoke. He opened his hands and measured a distance of about one meter to indicate the “waist circumference” of the rich woman.
The system almost fell down laughing in the system space. If Xu Zhan knew that he was described by Chao Ci, his face would be green with anger.
The Chen family was stunned by the words of Chao Ci, and they wanted to laugh a little at the words of Chao Ci, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
“It’s alright if you’re back. It happens to be Ching Ming tomorrow. I’m going to pay homage to your parents’ graves and offer incense. I haven’t seen you for two years. They must miss you too.” Uncle said.
They talked for a long time, time passed quickly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.
And my aunt went to the kitchen to cook for the family more than an hour ago.
“Stop talking! Come and eat!” Aunt shouted in the restaurant.
“Okay, Auntie, come right now!” Chaoci responded.
Then he turned his head and asked his uncle the last question: “Uncle, after I left, has anyone come here to inquire about me?”
Chen Jianmin recalled: “In the beginning, a few people came, and they came often. But slowly, less and less. The last time I came… It seems to have been a year ago.”
Chao Ci breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s fine.”
“The rich woman has given up on you, don’t be too sentimental, go eat!” Chen Yuxuan took Chao Ci’s hand, pulled him up from the sofa, and put him in the dining room.
…
Chao Ci and his cousin and cousin played games all afternoon. In the evening, his aunt cleaned up a room for him-their apartment was newly bought, but they had always reserved a room for Chao Ci.
Chao Ci has followed them since he was a child. In fact, to be honest, Chao Ci was sensible when he was a child, and he knew how to act like a spoiled child. He didn’t know how to please his elders. For the couple, it is really no different from their own children.
After a good night’s sleep, in the early morning, Chen Jianmin drove a group of people from his family to visit the graves.
Finally, he was able to go to his parents’ grave to sweep the grave. Chao Ci stayed in front of his parents’ tomb for a long time, talking a lot, and the Chen family was always with him.
It feels really good to go home. Chao Ci stayed at his uncle’s house for four or five days, and he was already a little reluctant to think about it. He is planning to open a bookstore near his uncle’s house, and that’s all for the future. If the business is good, he will hire someone to open a coffee shop or something…
On the fifth day of returning home, Chao Ci went out to find out if there was any suitable housing nearby.
He bumped into someone head-on.
