The next morning, Chaos Moon woke me up early in the morning. After breakfast, the two of us set off on our journey. I only brought my wallet and phone with me, and Chaos Moon carried a small bag and the sacrificial items she had prepared yesterday. Of course, they were just paper money. She didn't have any goat heads or chicken blood with her...
Standing on the roadside, I tightened my clothes and looked into the distance. I felt like I'd been tricked again.
"Chaos Moon."
"Hmm?"
"Is there no way to buy a ticket from the train station?
Do we … have to flag down a car on the roadside? "
"There is, but I'm used to doing that. It's more convenient."
"Fuck …"
… …
In the distance, a bus roared past. I hurriedly raised my hand and waved like I was screaming for help, but the bus passed us like lightning, leaving only dust on our faces.
After waiting for almost an hour, a kind-hearted uncle finally picked us up. Motherfucker, it's a tractor!
Although it was spring, the weather was still cold.
The kind-hearted uncle said with a smile, "Adasi, you're lucky.
My tractor only passes by once a day, and it's impossible to buy a ticket to school these days. "
Sitting in the tractor, I was very disheveled from the bumpy ride. I said expressionlessly, "Thank you for the ride, uncle. How long will it take to get there?"
"Three hours …"
"Er …" I turned even paler.
However, the scenery in Xinjiang was very different from that in the south. The visibility was extremely far, and at a glance, it was a vast expanse of flat land. In Suzhou, at a glance, it was all tall buildings, gardens, and the like. It was like living in a steel cage planted with vegetation. In Xinjiang, however, there was a feeling of detachment from life.
Since I couldn't resist, I might as well enjoy it!
I sat on the linen bag of the tractor and leaned against the driver's seat. My hair was messy as I admired the scenery in the distance. I glanced at Chaos Moon.
"What are you looking at?" Chaos Moon glared at me.
"Hmph!"
"What do you mean by 'hmph'?"
Chaos Moon waved her fists. "Stupid Lu Chen, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't curse me to pieces in your heart …"
I said, "I'm supposed to be grinding Ancient Divine Dragons, but you dragged me here to be exposed to the cold wind. Who knows, I might even catch a cold. What kind of pirate ship did I board?"
Chaos Moon chuckled. "What's wrong with that? Staying in the game all day will turn you into a fool sooner or later. You should be thanking me for giving you a chance to go sightseeing!"
"Bah, bah, bah … I'm freezing to death!"
"Is it really that cold?"
"What do you think?"
I looked at the G2000 jacket I was wearing. It was still a bit hot in Suzhou, but it would be freezing to death in the north.
Chaos Moon stuck out her tongue and sat on the sack next to me. Then, she opened her arms and hugged me from the front. She blinked her big eyes and stared at me. "You're not cold now, are you?"
Seeing her like this, I felt a bit emotional. "Chaos Moon, you're such a good girl. It shouldn't be hard for you to find a boyfriend. Look at how lonely you are right now …"
"Looking for a boyfriend?" Chaos Moon looked to the other side and smiled. "Do you think I don't want to?
But, those brain-damaged teenagers who don't know anything, are they worthy of being my boyfriend?
It's funny, but when a woman's standards become higher, it becomes a tragedy … "
Suddenly feeling a bit sympathetic, I pulled her into my arms and said, "It's fine. You'll meet one eventually."
Chaos Moon looked up at me and asked, "Lu Chen, if you met me first instead of the guild leader and Beauty Lin, would you choose me?"
I thought for a moment before answering, "No."
"Why?"
"First of all, there are no ifs. Second, Eve and I have been through too much together, and no one else can interfere with our relationship. As for me and Yiyi, I believe that she will never change her feelings for me, and I will cherish our relationship more than I cherish my own life. Also, there's no reason for me to love Yiyi …"
"Hmph!"
Chaos Moon snorted softly before laughing. "Confessing to the guild leader and Beauty Lin in front of me? Do you think the Little Heavenly King is capable of something as cowardly as that?
You showed no fear in the face of the Northern Alliance's army, so why can't you be brave in front of the two girls you like? "
"That's a different story. Book fans like to read 'Love'."
"Pooh, it's the same. You don't want to hurt anyone, but you end up hurting everyone because of your indecisiveness."
I looked down and asked, "Then what do you think I should do, Chaos Moon? Can you give me a solution that satisfies both sides?
If you can, I'll treat you to a feast for an entire year … "
"I'll take them both," Chaos Moon said indifferently.
"Mn."
"Mn?"
Chaos Moon hugged me tightly. "What do you mean by mn?
Are you really going to do that? "
"You said it yourself, didn't you?"
"Fine. I look forward to seeing you, guild leader Eve, and the Fruit Knife King in bed together …"
"You want to watch?"
"Can I?"
"Of course not!"
I looked into the distance and asked, "Chaos Moon, we don't need to pass by your aunt's house when we visit her grave, do we?"
"We didn't need to, but uncle's tractor just so happens to be heading to my aunt's house in a small town, so we might have to stop by and buy some fruits and gifts. After that, we'll head straight to the grave and return to the hotel in the city. We'll return tomorrow."
"Alright …"
… …
When it was almost noon, the tractor finally came to a stop in a completely unfamiliar town. Chaos Moon tugged at my sleeves and said, "Come on, let's go see my aunt!"
"Mn."
We brought some fruits and went to a house in town. The auntie looked to be around 50 years old, and she was none other than Chaos Moon's aunt. The auntie was pleasantly surprised to see Chaos Moon. "Aiya, isn't this Little Yue?
Why … why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't even give us a call? "
Chaos Moon held her aunt's hand and smiled. "I didn't want to disturb you guys. Today is grandma's death anniversary, so I wanted to visit her and sweep her grave …"
"Oh, your cousin just went to town to buy some fruits and paper money. Wait for me, we'll go together!"
The auntie's gaze landed on me and she smiled. "Who is this young man, Little Yue? He looks very energetic, and he looks very familiar …"
Heavenblessed's promotional posters were plastered all over the streets, and 50% of them were about the players. At least 50% of them were about me and Lin Yixin. I hadn't changed my face at all when I entered the game, so it was only natural that I looked familiar.
Chaos Moon said with a smile, "He's a friend I met in Suzhou. You can say that he's my direct superior. This time, I came back to pay my respects to my ancestors, and he was worried that I wouldn't be safe alone, so he came back with me."
"Oh …"
The auntie walked over and held my hand intimately. "What a handsome young man. You have to seize this opportunity, Little Yue …"
Chaos Moon's face was bright red. My heart was going cold, and I really wanted to die. What the hell!
… …
Not long after, a young man with a bowl cut walked into the yard. He looked like a bandit, and there was a faint scar on his chin. He was carrying fruits and a chicken in his hands. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Chaos Moon. He immediately smiled and said, "Hey, what kind of wind blew you back here?"
Chaos Moon rolled her eyes at him. "Cousin, the fans like to read the novel."
"Who is he?" My cousin pointed at me and asked.
"I'm Chaos Moon's friend," I said indifferently.
"I came back with her to pay respects to her ancestors. She's an employee of my company, and she'll be returning to the south tomorrow after the ceremony."
"Oh, let's go together then."
"Mn."
… …
My cousin was staring at Chaos Moon and me strangely. The three of us walked around the courtyard and up the mountain behind it. The whole time, he shot Chaos Moon a hateful look and said, "Sis, you're really something. I can't believe you found such a handsome boss. His family must be very rich, right?
I heard that all the rich people in the south own several houses and cars. I'm sure you've gotten yourself a car or something, haven't you? "
Chaos Moon's face turned livid. "It's not what you think. He didn't give me anything."
"That won't do!"
The guy with the bowl cut grinned like a hooligan. "In this day and age, there's no such thing as an equivalent exchange. It's called a transaction. You spent the same age as him, didn't you?
Isn't that right, bro?
If you don't give her something, are you going to let her play with you for nothing? "
I abruptly stopped in my tracks and glared at him coldly. "Say one more word, and I'll kill you right now!"
The guy with the bowl cut was clearly intimidated by my aura. He clenched his teeth but didn't say anything.
Chaos Moon grabbed my arm and said, "Let's go. We'll go back after the ceremony."
"Mn."
… …
There was a low tombstone halfway up the mountain, and Chaos Moon was standing in front of it. Her eyes were red as she said, "My grandmother was the one who brought me up when I was young, but I didn't get many chances to see her after I went to university. I heard that she would always look to the south in the backyard and ask me when I'm coming back …"
I patted her shoulder and said, "Burn some joss paper. Don't let her see you cry. She'll be unhappy if you're sad, and you'll be sad if you're sad. Everyone else should just read the book normally."
"Mn."
Chaos Moon broke into a smile and knelt down. She used a shovel to dig a hole in front of the grave and lit up some silver foil and other items to burn. I helped her while the guy with the bowl cut set up some fruits, roasted chicken and more. He was clearly hostile toward me, but I didn't mind.
The ceremony was over soon.
I rose to my feet and grabbed Chaos Moon's hand. "Come on, let's go to town and hail a taxi. We won't be taking a tractor this time …"
Chaos Moon smiled. "Alright. Did you feel bad riding a tractor?"
I pointed at my clothes and said, "Look at how dirty you look today. You were sitting on a muddy sack and kneeling on the wet dirt for a long time. Eve bought these clothes for me, and clothes are more precious than people, you know …"
Chaos Moon burst into a giggle. "Alright …"
When we reached the foot of the mountain, Chaos Moon said, "Cousin, we're leaving now. Tell aunty we won't be coming with you."
The guy with the bowl cut smiled. "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. You should at least stay for lunch."
"No, there's no need to stay."
"Then leave something for me!"
Greed appeared in the man's eyes as he said, "Grandma has lived in our house for so long and has eaten a lot of food. Xiao Yue, you were raised by grandma herself, so shouldn't you give us something as compensation?
You should at least leave some money or something … "
Chaos Moon turned deathly pale. "What do you mean?"
